We're not going to negotiate. 39 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: We're not even this thing hasn't even started.

The Austin man may 53 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 3: have been motivated by those strikes. And here's what we know. 54 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 3: According to CNN, in the early hours of Sunday morning, 55 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 3: as a bar in the busy night life district of 56 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 3: Austin who writes this stuff prepared to close for the night, 57 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 3: patrons and staff were startled by the sound of gun shots. 58 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 3: Armed with a pistol and a rifle, a man opened 59 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 3: fire from outside the venue on the city's bustling sixth Street, 60 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 3: killing two people wounding fourteen others.

Uh Diagne entered the United States in two thousand. 72 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 3: This month, March thirteenth, two thousand and a Department of 73 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 3: Homeland Security official. 74 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 4: Said that he was a B two tourist visa. 75 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 3: He was originally from Senegal, a law enforcement official familiar 76 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 3: with investigation told CNN, and he was wearing a shirt 77 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 3: I was seeing that said property of Allah. So they 78 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 3: figured he must have been what's the word for it, 79 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 3: when they they weaponize a. 80 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: Person, he radicalized? 81 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, they radical He must have been radicalized. What do 82 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 3: you think of this? 83 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: It's possible, you know. Margie Green Taylor says she thinks 84 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: it's a direct connection. So she's telling people that they 85 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: should be strapped and be ready because she thinks that, 86 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: you know, he's connected to this and and the people 87 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: just should be on the guard for what's going to happen, 88 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: what's going to come down. She thinks this is just 89 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: the first and many uh and and for that she 90 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: she she wrapped on. She blasted Donald Trump for starting this. 91 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 3: Right and now if he indeed was moved by what 92 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 3: was happening in Iran, why the bar though, well, you know, 93 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 3: I don't understand the connection. 94 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: The connection they will No, it doesn't have to be 95 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: you know, as long as it's attack on you know 96 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: where where this is going to get sticky, Kevin is 97 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: when we see a group of Americans, more than you know, 98 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: especially wide Americans, let's put it straight up, are attacked, 99 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: then Trump has something to to answer to. Because the 100 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,799 Speaker 1: latest polls, they took a poll over the weekend, most people, 101 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: most people who they pulled it was let me say that, 102 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: UH are against the attack on Iran. They think it 103 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: was necessary, you know, because Trump fired first. You know, 104 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: he started the fight first. And now we got a 105 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: full scale fight on our hands to talk about what 106 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: the ramifications is. The oil the prices are gone up. 107 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: You know, people have all these scenarios that's gonna happen 108 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: because of what he started. 109 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 3: You well, they say three US troops were killed and 110 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 3: five are seriously wounded during the Iran strike, and I 111 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 3: quote President Trump told The Daily Mail in a phone 112 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 3: interview Sunday that we expect that to happen, unfortunately, and 113 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 3: it could happen again. 114 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 4: You see. It's like he just thinks that it's a 115 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 4: movie or something. You know. 116 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 3: In my humble opinion, the offensive that Donald Trump said 117 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 3: could likely lead to more losses in the coming weeks. 118 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 4: The three who were killed were U. 119 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 3: S Army soldiers deployed to Kuwait as part of a 120 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,239 Speaker 3: unit that oversees supplies and logistics, according to a person 121 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 3: familiar with the situation who was not authorized a comment publicly, 122 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 3: and yet they got this comment. And US Central Command, 123 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 3: which oversees them at least announced the deaths and opposed 124 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 3: on x but did not say when and. 125 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 4: Where they occurred. 126 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 3: As the Islamic Republic retaliates over the joint strikes by 127 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 3: the US and Israel, and Trump said this, We prayed 128 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 3: for the full recovery of the wounded and sent our 129 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 3: immense love and eternal gratitude to the families of the fallen, 130 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 3: and sadly there will be more before it ends. And 131 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 3: that's the way it is likely to be more. But 132 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 3: we'll do everything possible where that won't be the case. 133 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: Man, you know, and Kevin, I mean trumping it for 134 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: a secon because another place that popped up all over 135 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: the Arab world and Muslim world for that matter. Six 136 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: people died in Pakistan after the US consulate was stormed 137 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: at because the command is killing. They just stormed the 138 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: US consulate, you know. So anything that's American that's out 139 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: there on the globe is a target for them, and 140 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: they don't care. So with this week in this report, 141 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: so you know, it might be more of that, and 142 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: it might be a somewhere or a embassy somewhere on 143 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: the globe. But you have like this, the two in Austin, Texas. 144 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: Might it might be just a long wilf you know, people, 145 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: this is this is really, it's really started something. Because 146 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: these people are different, let's just put it. They'll fight 147 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: till the end, to the very last breath. Literally. 148 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 4: Wow. 149 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 3: And meanwhile, finally, oil prices are rising sharply in the 150 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 3: market trading after these attacks in the Middle East, and 151 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 3: it's disrupting the oil supply and so how much longer 152 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 3: before that that domino effect happens. According to NPR traders 153 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 3: who are betting the supply of oil from Iran and 154 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 3: elsewhere in the Middle East would slow or grind to 155 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 3: a halt. And these attacks around the region, including two 156 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 3: vessels traveling through the Strait of Hormuz the narrow mouth 157 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 3: of the Persian Gulf, have restricted country's ability to export 158 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 3: oil to the rest of the world. 159 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: Many yeah, and yeah, you know, let me just say this, 160 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: a ten after Keviny, that's the all prices just jump 161 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: ten percent just on the fact that that started. But 162 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: you know, actually closure, I think that's coming. And then 163 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 1: the ripple effect. So if you can't get oil, it 164 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: can't get decently, you can't get fuel. You know, you 165 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: can't move the commerce across the country from whether it 166 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: be trucks, trains, or airplanes. And so when if there's 167 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: scarcity in supplying demand, those prices go up. You know 168 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: what happens with the prices, they pass it on to consumers. 169 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: So people looking at that in the long range, and 170 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: they're going to be watching how Wall Street reacts this morning. 171 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: If when Wall Street opens. 172 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, man, I tell you, And that's the way it is. 173 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 3: On the second day of March.

You know, we're talking about the economy, 182 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: but let's talk about crypto currency. Crypto market has been volatile, 183 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: to say the least. Do you think what's what's happening 184 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: in the Middle East? Was this Iranian issue is gonna 185 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: is going to impact the crypto market. 186 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 2: I think it impacts you know, commodities in general. And 187 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 2: if you call, you know, based on the I R 188 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 2: S looking at crypto as a as an asset in 189 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 2: a commodity, Yeah, I mean, I think the price of 190 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 2: goal is going to go up, and the price of 191 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 2: big coin is going to go up. People going to 192 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 2: again flee fleet the dollar a lot of again. You know, 193 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: I just got back. I was overseas about two weeks 194 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 2: ago and the dollar was super weak compared to how 195 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: it's been. And I was in Joe Berg, Ferrari and 196 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 2: uh A Nairobi and the dollar was weaker than the 197 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 2: error and things like this. 198 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 6: Definitely with the war. 199 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: Uh right there, Sinclair explained to us, when you say 200 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: that the dollar is weaker for those folks who with 201 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: those of us who don't travel, what does that mean? 202 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: So you know, I think I say, last year, I 203 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 2: was able to get probably closer to almost twenty ran 204 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 2: nineteen ran to a dollar, So that's pretty strong. 205 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: That's South African money. 206 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 2: South excuse me, South African money. Now it was like 207 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 2: fifteen to sixteen, So you know, whatever activities being real 208 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 2: estate or business investments, activities, I'm doing the money that 209 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 2: we could do things with again just less than a 210 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 2: year ago. Now it's a smaller amount. So again it's 211 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 2: you know, these are the impacts of again bricks. That's 212 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 2: the way that again you know, the US government is handling. 213 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 2: I won't even say it's the teriffs as much as 214 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 2: the fact that you know, the US doesn't make anything anymore. 215 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 2: And you know, they thought they were going to hurt 216 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 2: Russia with these sanctions on them and the war Ukraine, 217 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 2: but they woke up with higher oil prices, which again 218 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 2: Russia is a heavy you know, commodities resource based economy, 219 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 2: so all this helps a lot of people, and the 220 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 2: US is again we're spending literally billions of dollars on war. 221 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: I mean, the only people who went out of wars 222 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 2: the weapons companies, and they're not going to be able 223 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 2: to manufacture fast enough to recuperate the shortfall of the 224 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 2: missiles and weapons. You know, for everyone, the Iranian missile 225 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 2: they got to shoot you know, three to six missiles, 226 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 2: so you're now talking about you know, one to eight 227 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 2: you know ratio, and you know the last war they 228 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 2: were running out in twelve days. If you know, Iran 229 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 2: extends this, if you're in crypto or anything, this could 230 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 2: be definitely a problem for the US economy as it 231 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 2: relates to Again, you know, people always tell abou war 232 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 2: economies it was a situation where there's manufacturing going on 233 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 2: and people were being employed. You know, that's not what's happening. 234 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 2: It's literally our tax dollars going into something that is 235 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 2: not as an investment, but something that's actually destroying the world. Now. 236 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 2: I guess there could be people who think after the 237 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 2: destruction they could get contracts to rebuild, but again, you know, 238 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 2: they have money for wars, not for the poor Tupac, 239 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 2: So I think it's really into in Iran's interest to 240 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 2: make it last as long as possible because they have, 241 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 2: you know, home field advantage. They can just waight this out. 242 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 2: The United States government, with all the assets there, don't 243 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 2: have the same luxury. They want to get this over 244 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 2: with quickly. And again you got Iran is like what 245 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 2: ninety million people? You got Israel about ten million people 246 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 2: size of New Jersey, and then Iran the size of Europe. 247 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 2: I mean, this is I think it's and I know 248 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 2: right now in the morning process of Jesse Urvan Jesse Jackson, 249 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 2: these are the things he would speak out against. You know, 250 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 2: when I'm traveling abroad, I make it clear that these 251 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 2: things are wrong. Now. I think some people are under 252 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 2: illusion when Obama was there or Biden was there, that 253 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 2: somehow there's a difference. But the US foreign policy has 254 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 2: been consistent for well over fifty years. I mean, I 255 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: think we even if we can think about Jimmy Carter, 256 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 2: you know he sent you know, those those helicopters in 257 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 2: there Iran. That was nineteen eighty. I still remember being 258 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 2: a kid, they said, well, why aren't you a hostage 259 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 2: and the answer was because I ran. I mean, it 260 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 2: was kind of I remember the countdown and all that, 261 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 2: how many days that hostages were. So if you really 262 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 2: look at this, no matter what party, the US hedge 263 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 2: of money, imperialist interests and people are even you know, 264 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 2: connecting us back to the EPSTEIN. You know, when you 265 00:14:54,800 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 2: see these emails of people talking about foreign policies and 266 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 2: they're not even elected officials, they're power brokers, it makes 267 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,359 Speaker 2: you wonder, like, we're clear to the United States population 268 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 2: is not for war. So these are decisions that are 269 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: made well, you know, beyond the people that we see 270 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 2: in front of us. Again, when I travel, you know, 271 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 2: even when I was in China, people talk about, you know, 272 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 2: communist countries don't have rights and how they're controlled by 273 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 2: you know, the Communist Party. But one of the guys 274 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 2: said to me, he said, well, at least in China 275 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 2: we know who's in charge, y'all don't know who's behind 276 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 2: the scenes, because it's definitely not the people you elect. 277 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 2: They're being dictated to by someone you don't even know. 278 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 2: At least when the or when we're dealing with the 279 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 2: CCP Chinese Communist Party, we're clear where the mandates are 280 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 2: coming from. In the United States. You know, how does 281 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 2: this help American being. And even when they talk about secure, 282 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 2: you know that area for US is not an immediate threat. 283 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 2: We've got media threats in the United States, you know, 284 00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 2: I mean like health. 285 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought right now, Carl, all right, we're going 286 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: to take a short break. Sinclair, and you mentioned China, 287 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: and you know what's interesting about this, and I'll let 288 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: you respond this when we get back. China seems to 289 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: be benefiting from this and the bricks nations. While we're 290 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,239 Speaker 1: spending money to fight a war, they're building their economies 291 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: and building out on a scale across the globe. I 292 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: want you to respond to that when we get back. Also, 293 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: tell us what it's like traveling now, because there's a 294 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: lot of anti American is out there. If you're concerned 295 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: in your travels, family, you two can join our conversation 296 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: with Sinclair Skinner. Reach out to us at eight hundred 297 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: four five zero seventy eight seventy six and we'll take 298 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: a phone calls next and Grand Rising family twenty minutes 299 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: after tough. There are you waking up this morning on 300 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: the second day of March. Welcome to March. I guess 301 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: his world traveler bella Saint Clair Skinner before we left, 302 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: we were talking about the situation with Iran and the 303 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: United States. You know, it's temple to say a situation 304 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: with Iran and Donald Trump, but if all of us 305 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: are involved now since we live here in Americans, but Sinclair, 306 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: the fact that China has been pulled into this, and 307 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: one of our listeners, that's right, I love our listeners 308 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: just sent me a note here that China has been 309 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: sending drones to Iran and also discussing ballistic missile sales 310 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: to Iran as well. They got coming from China. Russia's 311 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: denounced the move as well. How do you see this 312 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: China benefiting and Russia the bricks part of the bricks nation, 313 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: so they you think this is what they've been waiting 314 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: for to uh use up the USD. 315 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 2: I think this is probably a few things. I think 316 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 2: says three. I think one of the things is to 317 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 2: be clear people countries like China, and I think even 318 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 2: with Russia, you know, their interest is a stable economy 319 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 2: with a bunch of wars, especially with a China where 320 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 2: it depends on it's oil from that region particularly. They 321 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 2: want consistency. This chaos that we're seeing is really if 322 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 2: your you know, money doesn't doesn't mind if your dictatorship, 323 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 2: It doesn't mind if your democrat democracy. It just wants stability. 324 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 2: And I think that's a wicked thing to say, because 325 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 2: it doesn't care about human rights or quality of life. 326 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 2: It just wants something that's predictable. And what's happening now 327 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 2: is definitely not predictable. You know, they're closing off the 328 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 2: Straight of Hamud, so they can't have traffic for these 329 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 2: you know oil tankers, and even Saudi Arabias had their 330 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 2: oil filled. Their number one oil refinery has been disrupted, 331 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 2: like the number like it pumps out like billions of 332 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 2: I mean millions of gallons a day and it's now 333 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 2: been shut down. So you know, the ramifications of this 334 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 2: for an economy that's already fragile globally, this behavior runs 335 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 2: counter to that for something I think the China and 336 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 2: the bricks company countries. Now, if Iran ends up being 337 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 2: you know, like Venezuela, it does hurt the bricks even 338 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 2: though it's the economic relationship bricks is not a security 339 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 2: relationship like NATO, it still causes again, you know, a 340 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 2: key piece of the puzzle for bricks if they end 341 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 2: up having their government compromise, it does hurt bricks. And 342 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 2: then I think thirdly, just again the rule of law 343 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 2: that you know again now it's back to the rule 344 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 2: of who's got the biggest stick. So you know, the 345 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 2: whole global economy, global world order is you know, the 346 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 2: United States and Israel is successful in undermining an legal 347 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 2: invasion attack. I mean, even this thing about decapitation, the 348 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 2: way they discuss this, you're killing assassinating a sitting leader 349 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 2: and then a spiritual leader. I mean it's almost like 350 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: the pope like you know, it's probably white suprem's ideology. 351 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 2: This is one of the problems with it. It has 352 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 2: a false sense of the invincibility is you're trying to 353 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 2: you stabilize the country. One of the things you probably 354 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 2: wouldn't want to do is do something that would rally 355 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 2: the unity of people in that country and outside. With 356 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 2: the iotolin net to the Shia Muslims, he's like a 357 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: very very you know, huge maignificant figure. And again Ramadam 358 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,959 Speaker 2: Mubar to all my Muslim friends like this, even if 359 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 2: you're assuming Muslim, many of the countries have a mix 360 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 2: of the different sectarian you know, groups of Muslims. So 361 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 2: even in Saudi Arabia, the part of Saudi Arabia that 362 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 2: faces the Persian Gulf where most of their oil fields are. 363 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 2: Many of those people are Shia. The bah Harang where 364 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 2: they just destroyed the Fifth Fleets based there, many of 365 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 2: those people are Shia. So if you're trying to undermine 366 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 2: Iran and then you kill someone that has people who 367 00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 2: support him in Pakistan and other places, that's probably not 368 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 2: gonna help your whole image of the Great Satan out much. 369 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 2: So I think there's a lot of ramifications of how 370 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 2: they've even approach this, to say a decapitation, when again, 371 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 2: you're talking about a government with a constitution where there's 372 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 2: a secession plan already in order, and the guy wasn't 373 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 2: even in a bunker. He was eating it with his family. 374 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 2: It might have been a setup. You know, he was 375 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 2: eighty almost ninety years old. He might say, I'm gonna 376 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 2: go out like this. At least I'll leave a legacy 377 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 2: of our people standing up and fighting because I'm not 378 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 2: gonna hide at eighty six. Like they didn't find him. 379 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 2: He wasn't in a bunker somewhere. They literally blew him 380 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 2: up in his house having breakfast. 381 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,360 Speaker 1: Wow, Hey, you know the cold part about this sink 382 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: Clevin Jump he had twenty five minutes away at the 383 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: United States and Iran. We're having discussions up until Thursday, 384 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: the President Sunny Laws and another official meeting with Iron 385 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: talking about the nuclear aspect of them building nuclear weapons. 386 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,479 Speaker 1: And they were having cordial discussions. They weren't negotiations were 387 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 1: under way, and all of a sudden Trump pulls this 388 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: one on which they didn't see. But you talked about 389 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: the lmanmifications of the fight with the different Muslim groups 390 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: throughout that region. At least six persons were killed in 391 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: Pakistan after they stormed the US consulate in that city 392 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: in that country, Pakistan over the over the killing. And 393 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: then you've got all these Arab nations now, and you've 394 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: mentioned the Saudis. Supposedly the Saudis were pushing for this 395 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: to happen. Saudis have been trying to play two sides 396 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: against each other on this. So we may see some more, 397 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 1: We may see this thing spread right to that in 398 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: that region, with different groups, different countries coming against each other. 399 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you think about it again, I don't you know, 400 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 2: I got plenty of good Muslim friends, you know, African Muslims, 401 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 2: African American Muslims, and and maybe even a few. I 402 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 2: don't have a lot of Arab friends. But my point is, 403 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 2: you know, you see these large country, large wealthy countries 404 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 2: not supporting the Palestinian issue, and then you hear people 405 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 2: in the States, some are why aren't you protesting for Palestine? We, 406 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 2: as black folks in America, got plenty of protests. The 407 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 2: drugs they keep sending in our community, the guns they 408 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 2: keep sending, all the things that they've done to make 409 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 2: sure that sixty some thousand black women are still not found. 410 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 2: I mean, we got a laundry list of issues with 411 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 2: the US government that we pay taxes to that to 412 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 2: see all those so called powerful countries allow a genocide 413 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 2: to take place in Gaza already to me pose the 414 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 2: question like what are these folks really doing? And again 415 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 2: I'll bring up the Epstein files. They said, I think 416 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 2: it's epic fury to call this operation epic fury. Some 417 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 2: people make fun is really e ab stance or Epstein files. 418 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 2: It's really people that we don't know making the decisions 419 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 2: on what President Trump is doing. And they did it 420 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 2: with Biden, and they did it with Obama, like I 421 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 2: think some of this, you know, when we go to 422 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 2: the elections this year, I think there should be a 423 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 2: real regime change. It should be again removing Trump, impeaching him, 424 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 2: and making sure that there's enough people in the Senate 425 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 2: and the House that don't support war, that don't support genocide, 426 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 2: that are pro DC, statehood, pro reparations. I mean, that's 427 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 2: my agenda. So my point is, I think these are 428 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 2: the things that we got to see as a way, 429 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 2: what do we do about it? We still got to 430 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 2: speak out against it. I think some people get confused 431 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 2: with this patriotism. I still remember in college when the 432 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 2: first person got war and there was plenty of us 433 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 2: organizing consciences of vectors like you know, that was the 434 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 2: days where we had to sign up for the draft. Still, 435 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 2: you know, we had to go to the post office. 436 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 2: So I'm just saying, you know, if somebody's responsible human being, 437 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 2: people talk about America first versus Israel first or whatever. 438 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 2: I'm a human being first. I pray to one God. 439 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 2: I don't pray to a flag. You know, when people 440 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 2: talk about man made countries are man made, not God made. 441 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 2: So to be clear, I'm going to definitely pray the 442 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 2: one God, And I asked you, what would Jesus do 443 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 2: if you believe in Jesus, whoever you believe in, what 444 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 2: would they do in this situation? And again, wars the problem, 445 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 2: not the answer. And again I'm not a pacifist. I'm 446 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 2: a concealed and carry person. You better be prepared to 447 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 2: come to my house. But my point is these are failures. 448 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 2: These are not a sign of societies that are doing well. 449 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 2: This is the sign of a decline of a society 450 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 2: where someone who even have to feel that they would 451 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 2: have to protect themselves and put these things in their 452 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 2: own hands. So again I would just say that as 453 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 2: US taxpayers, what we can do for the folks who 454 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 2: are suffering in the world is making sure that we're 455 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 2: more in getting as African people, we're a product of 456 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 2: bad American policy. I mean they translatic slave trade was 457 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 2: American foreign policy in Africa. We should be more involved 458 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 2: in domestic and foreign policy of the US government along 459 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 2: as we're paying taxes. And again, be clear, if you 460 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 2: don't vote, government doesn't care about that. Don't pay your taxes. 461 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 2: You'll see what they really concerned about. So I think 462 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 2: it's important if you're a taxpayer to not let your 463 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 2: money go into F thirty five and make them tell 464 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 2: you this is good for jobs. We get this plenty 465 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 2: of other jobs besides making you know, weapons of mass destruction. 466 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 2: I worked for McDonald, Douglas, Boeing. Now with the F 467 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 2: eighteen Harrier, you know, I quit. I had to go. 468 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,199 Speaker 2: I went back to school. I'm not going to participate. 469 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 2: And we have agency. We don't have to be victims. 470 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 2: We can make decisions every day, we can speak out. 471 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 2: And again, some people are in different I'm an entrepreneur 472 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 2: and have a track record in that respect. But if 473 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 2: everyone has a way that they can actually show their sign, 474 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 2: this is not right. Just figure it out, you know, 475 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 2: whatever your talents are, whatever your background. 476 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 6: Don't go along. 477 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 2: Like when people ask like, well, how is it back 478 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 2: in slavery or how was it when this thing was 479 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 2: going on, you kind of act like you don't understand 480 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 2: how people would tolerate that. Well, we're tolerating genocide right now, 481 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 2: the oppression of our own people right now. And all 482 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 2: the marketist vineyards, all the fancy award shows. I think 483 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 2: there's beautiful. I think our expression as a people is uncomparable. 484 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 2: We're amazing we do need to make sure in every 485 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 2: field of human endeavor that we're amazing in. Though we 486 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 2: can't just pick and choose, we should try to make 487 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 2: sure with who we are and show up at every level. 488 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 2: And it's just not about crime for children in God, 489 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 2: not in my name, but you're not going to kill 490 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 2: these people in using my tax dollars. So again, I 491 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 2: think the regime changed. Has that happened in November. I 492 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 2: think the Democrats and Republicans are two wings of the 493 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 2: same bird. I think we need to make sure that 494 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 2: the primaries that everyone that's out there should get primary 495 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 2: with someone who's for justice, somebody who's for anti war, 496 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 2: anti oppression and pro reparations. And we can do that, 497 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 2: like that's the part they want us to feel like 498 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 2: there's no way we can get out of this. The 499 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 2: Epstein people that we saw were living in a way 500 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 2: where they were trying to disguise who they are. We 501 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 2: know who they are. The same powerful men two hundred 502 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 2: and fifty years have been molesting children. I mean Thomas Jefferson. 503 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 2: We're clear that what he did to Sally was not consensual. 504 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 2: If you don't have the power to say no, that's 505 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 2: that's that's right. So that's not consensual. So we know 506 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 2: in this country that powerful men have abused people, our people, 507 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 2: and we've been able to resist and still come out 508 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 2: on this side of it. We got to continue to resistance. 509 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 2: We got it. 510 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: Holdout right there, because I got two interesting tweets for you, 511 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: brother Saint clat from some of our listeners. Yeah, no problem, 512 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: but they're taken us back. And one lester that once 513 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: it gets your reaction, this is just a Trump just 514 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: soliized States military for the for the price of a 515 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: luxury jet and some crypto deals and American soldiers now 516 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: finding a war that Saudi Arabia guitar and EU I 517 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: E A I and that and how were bought and 518 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: paid for And once gets your reaction to that first, Yeah, yeah. 519 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 2: Once you see what he's doing with these so called 520 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 2: stable coins. What you're seeing is that the US debt 521 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 2: is so high. With these cryptos that they're creating, they're 522 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 2: allowing people to quote unquote get exposure to the US 523 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 2: dollar through crypto. They have a thing called tether where 524 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 2: literally they say if you buy one tether, it's equivalent 525 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 2: to one dollar. And the way they allegedly say that 526 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 2: is because they got treasury bills as well as dollars 527 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 2: in the bank that allegedly are one to one. Okay, 528 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 2: this real quick. Banks have fractional reserves. They don't have 529 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 2: the tole amount of money that they loan out. They're 530 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 2: allowed to by the government. If they loan out a 531 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 2: million dollars, they can just have two hundred and fifty 532 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 2: thousand dollars, so they don't have to have the same 533 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 2: equal amount of the money that they put out there. 534 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 2: With tether and these cryptos, they allegedly have one to 535 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 2: one and it's a way to prop up the dollar 536 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 2: using crypto. Again, I'm a bigcoin maximust but that's a 537 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 2: different story. But there are playing games just like they 538 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 2: have been with manipulating the dollar, and they'll use whatever technologies. 539 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 7: Again, the swift banking. 540 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 2: System is the technology. So when I hear people talking 541 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 2: about they're anti crypto, I think you should be skeptical 542 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 2: of everything, and that's including the credit card, the banks, everybody. 543 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 2: We don't just pick and choose. Try to be skeptical 544 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 2: and use your brain and be rational, logical, and less emotional. 545 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 2: With that being said, just know that the process that 546 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 2: we're talking about is less about the tech and more 547 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 2: about the intentions of the folks that are using it. 548 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 2: The tech is just tech. It's neither good nor bad. 549 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 2: It's up to us. And I think that's why it's important. 550 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 2: What we're doing in crypto is to educate our people, 551 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 2: not how to be consumers in a digital way, is 552 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 2: to understand the technology underlining all this and see what 553 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 2: you can do to use these tools to improve the 554 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 2: quality of life our communities. 555 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: Well, I don't jump in here and ask you this 556 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: on the crypt You learn it, you learn it, and. 557 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 2: You don't like it, that's fine, But don't let it 558 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 2: be because somebody got you caught up with some emotional 559 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 2: stuff talking about don't deal with technology, and you're on 560 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 2: your cell phone, which is technology? Hello that you don't 561 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 2: even know how your cell phone work? How to pick 562 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 2: the work? While is your cell phone? What's voice over IP? 563 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 5: Me? 564 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 2: What is that? So I'm saying we should be more rigorous. 565 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 2: I think you should question crypto, question everything, though, will 566 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 2: be more empowered. 567 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: Me let me jump here and ask you this though. 568 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: So the question on crypto is it a good buy 569 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: right that you know? Straight up? Is it a good 570 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: to get involved? 571 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 5: Right? 572 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: Now or should you set it out? 573 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 2: I don't. I don't get financial advice. But bigcoins at 574 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 2: a discount right now. Look I've bought. I'm not gonna 575 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 2: say what I've done, but literally bigcoin has gone down 576 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,479 Speaker 2: and it's a discount right now, it's gonna go back up. 577 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 2: This is how it was done Bitcoin. I'm saying the 578 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 2: ones that I involved, don't. I don't get involved in 579 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,959 Speaker 2: these these piece stuff. Many, if not all, these other 580 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 2: cryptos are trading off the reputation of Bitcoin, saying away. 581 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 2: Because Bitcoin doesn't have a centralized company that's promoting it, 582 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 2: because Satosha ncam Mored has not revealed herself to everyone, 583 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 2: there's no one advocating or protecting the brand the bitcoin. 584 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 2: Bitcoin just works exceptionally well. It's the most successful blockchain 585 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 2: application in history. Other folks, instead of trying to mind Bitcoin, 586 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 2: which is very expensive, decided they would say, look, I 587 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,479 Speaker 2: got something like bitcoin, not as they even had any 588 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 2: thing called light coin like. They will use the reputation saying, oh, 589 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 2: you may have missed bitcoins, but here's my Boo boo 590 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 2: coin or cat coin or dog coin, and you get 591 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 2: in now and you could be like bitcoin. None of 592 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 2: these are like bitcoin, there's only one Denzel Washington. 593 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, right, and hold up thought 594 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: like that because we're got to check the Lady Snows 595 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: and find out what's going on there wrong. Before that, 596 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: I got another. As I mentioned, I got a couple 597 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: of tweets for you.

All right, brother Saint Claire. 633 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: Before we left, I mentioned at Lisa, one of our 634 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: charter listeners out of Baltimore's, a question was how bad 635 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: is the situation? What should we do individually to survive 636 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: this invasion? And she added this piece while doing the break, 637 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: where should we be putting our money? 638 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I think you know, if you're to ask me, 639 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 2: I'm a big boy maximums type person, but I think 640 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 2: whatever you do, you know, the US dollars, the store 641 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,399 Speaker 2: value is going to be seeing more challenges. You see 642 00:34:55,440 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 2: people going to other commodities that are universally accepted. So 643 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 2: you know, I don't do financial advice, but I think, 644 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 2: you know, the stock market, anything that's based on the 645 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 2: current system, which is going to be changing rapidly, I 646 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 2: think you should be skeptical. 647 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 5: You know. 648 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,720 Speaker 2: I think also my travels, you know, being in different countries, 649 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 2: making sure that you have a more than one option. 650 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 2: You know, colonialism, slavery one of the things that did 651 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 2: it literally restricted our movement. God didn't curse us to 652 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,879 Speaker 2: live in one place. Even when we talk about going 653 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 2: back to Africa, it's not on Mars. I mean, you 654 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 2: literally can be in Joe Burgh, get a flight out 655 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,399 Speaker 2: at six in the morning and be in New York 656 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 2: City by the afternoon. Like it's not And it doesn't 657 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,399 Speaker 2: mean you have to be in one place all year round. 658 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,720 Speaker 2: You could be you know, you can make sure wherever 659 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 2: you live is not cold. I definitely not going to 660 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 2: see anymore snows pretty soon because I'm not having it. 661 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 2: So you literally can live in multiple places. And how 662 00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 2: do you do that? Well, I think you know in 663 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 2: some way, and I say this always to people who 664 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 2: are thinking about doing any type of business activity, will 665 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 2: see you know, get a good lawyer, you know. I 666 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 2: think local lawyers is one of the key things. And 667 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 2: we have the I Love Black People app which is 668 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 2: like the Green Book, which we just came out with 669 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 2: a new edition. But even in our I Love Black People, 670 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 2: we have listing of lawyers in different countries that are 671 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,359 Speaker 2: Black friendly or Pan African friendly. So I think one 672 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 2: of the first things to do is to identify another 673 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 2: place that you might be interested in living, getting it 674 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 2: either taking a trip there, but not just as a 675 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 2: tourist though that's why I think tourism. I think friends 676 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 2: Vernon said, if you meet an African in Europe, they're 677 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 2: either a tourists, a slave or a trader. And if 678 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 2: they're tourists in them home, if their slaves freedom, and 679 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 2: if they're a trader, we know what we do there. 680 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 2: So it's one of those things where I think us 681 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 2: moving around the world having the independence to do so, 682 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 2: we shouldn't try to imitate or emulate the colonize it. 683 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 2: We should use are ability to move with that passport 684 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 2: to empower other people. I have some projects going on 685 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 2: right now where we're supporting a startup in solar and 686 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 2: because the system has a Zimbabwe passport, it's hard to 687 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 2: get visas to different countries. So most of our brothers 688 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,479 Speaker 2: and sisters in other countries have a very hard time 689 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 2: to compete internationally because they can't even move. But yet 690 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 2: the raw materials if they say Europe for Europe, but 691 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,800 Speaker 2: they want the African resources like that part is the issue. 692 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 2: But yet again I think we should use some of 693 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:40,319 Speaker 2: our status as it relates to our proximity the power 694 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 2: in the United States to make sure that the foreign 695 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 2: policy of the United States, no matter who's president is 696 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 2: one that's of justice. And I think sometimes we go 697 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 2: to sleep on that. We went to sleep on that 698 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 2: with the Bidens. You know, I hear people talk about 699 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 2: the Democrats and Republicans. You know, it was under the 700 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 2: Democrats that genocide started. You know, those attacks were funding 701 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 2: our dollars were going to that, they were actually going 702 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 2: to Columbia University and other folks telling people they couldn't protest. 703 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 2: I got kicked out of touch Skee because of a protest. 704 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't go to prison. I didn't have 705 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 2: my freedom taken from me. But that was under Biden. 706 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 2: So we got to stop. Let you know, I think 707 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 2: we parton too much. I think we get caught up 708 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 2: in these parties, and being loyal to a party is 709 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 2: probably not the best way in politics, probably not the 710 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 2: best way in business either. I think we should be 711 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 2: loyal to our agendas. And I say agendas because all 712 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 2: our agendas don't have to be the same. You're number 713 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 2: one to be my number three on my agenda, but 714 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 2: you don't have to be against each other. Like if 715 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 2: you don't want reparations, I'll just take the money that 716 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 2: you're supposed to get that's fine, but you don't have 717 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 2: to hate on me because I want DC statehood, you 718 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,399 Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. So I think one of these 719 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 2: things that we should look at this situation. We say 720 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 2: the word Trump, which is fine. He should be removed 721 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 2: and there's a way to do that, But we should 722 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 2: stop thinking that the Trump that we see is actually 723 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 2: the person making decisions with Epstein. Epstein files show us 724 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 2: that there are people behind the scenes that are making 725 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 2: these these decisions, and he's the sales guy, he's the 726 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 2: person who's the front man, but he's not making these decisions. 727 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,320 Speaker 1: And whole leftought ten away from the top of I 728 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,320 Speaker 1: thank you for that, brother Saint Clair. I asked you 729 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: a personal question though, because you travel a lot, you 730 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: take flights, and we know what happened in ninety eleven, 731 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 1: are you concerned about your personal safety if you get 732 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 1: you know, because we don't know where they're going to strike. 733 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,879 Speaker 1: As you mentioned earlier, this is not far from being 734 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: over and they got a bunch of sleeper sales all 735 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 1: across the world, and so one may have happened in 736 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:43,400 Speaker 1: their ut Austin the other night. What your thought so 737 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 1: is for your personal way of traveling. Are you going 738 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 1: to change any way that you travel? 739 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 2: I think, let me a few things. I was concerned. 740 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:56,279 Speaker 2: There was a tech conference in Doha early February, and 741 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 2: when I saw a lot of these activities and things, 742 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,320 Speaker 2: I changed my plans and I went to another conference 743 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 2: in Nairobi instead. I think there's things like that. But again, 744 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 2: you know, being born and raised in generations in the 745 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 2: United Snakes of the United States of America. You know, 746 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,840 Speaker 2: I'm a pilot myself, so I'm right now taking some 747 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 2: classes get an upgraded license as an instrument license, and 748 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,319 Speaker 2: you know, you know, I sometimes look around. I wonder 749 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 2: if some of these folks might try to do something 750 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 2: to my airplane just because they might not like to 751 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 2: see black people flying. Like there's all kinds of reasons 752 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 2: that we've dealt with our resistance and struggle in the 753 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,880 Speaker 2: belly of this space. That makes me a little different. 754 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,320 Speaker 2: I see Epstein, I see the attacks, I see the 755 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 2: attacks on our community. I see the resistance struggle again 756 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 2: of Jesse Jackson and those that you know came before us, 757 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 2: our parents. So I think it's a definitely we keep 758 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 2: our eyes open. We don't take anything from granted, but 759 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 2: I think we have the people have they throw in 760 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,800 Speaker 2: the kitchen sink at us, and we're still here. The 761 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 2: fat man been singing for a long time, and we're 762 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:10,000 Speaker 2: still here. So I think again, I think we all 763 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 2: are here for a reason. I'm not here to tell 764 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 2: anyone what theirs is, but I think our best thing 765 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 2: in order to deal with this situation is to try 766 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 2: to live out our calling. We were brought into existence 767 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 2: for a reason. I don't know what the reason is, 768 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 2: but you need to find it for yourself and then 769 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,200 Speaker 2: fulfill that or betray it. That's rights. So now again 770 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 2: that's not mean fulfill your destiny or betray it. So 771 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 2: I think whatever, we're here. And it's interesting about some 772 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,800 Speaker 2: of these things where we talk about the Alatola and 773 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 2: then these Muslims and they talk about martyr them, and 774 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 2: oftentimes when we talk about the death of our people, 775 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 2: who says they were assassinated, killed, But when you use 776 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 2: that word martyr, it's pretty powerful, you know, when we 777 00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,880 Speaker 2: think about the fact that many of the people that 778 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 2: were killed in our struggles were killed because of what 779 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 2: you just said, the work thing we're doing, and they 780 00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 2: saw martyrdom as a part of the country continuity of 781 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 2: the struggle. Yes, you kill me, you'll make me a martyr. Like, 782 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 2: that's an interesting concept. So I just think we should 783 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 2: say the life that we've been given was given to us. 784 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 6: For a reason. 785 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 2: We should fulfill that reason, and it there has to 786 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 2: be a sacrifice for the improvement of our people. I 787 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,640 Speaker 2: think it is what it is. But to be tiden 788 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 2: and trying to run from this, I don't think you 789 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 2: can run for Like, even when I talk about traveling, 790 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that you're going to be able to 791 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 2: run for white supremacist ideology or you're going to run 792 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,359 Speaker 2: from capitalism. I'm saying the terms of engagement you can 793 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,879 Speaker 2: set those. You don't have to be fixed with having 794 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 2: to live your life out in one particular place. That's 795 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,400 Speaker 2: not God. Man did that. These are man made. When 796 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,320 Speaker 2: people say don't worship, they say about patriots, don't worship 797 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,319 Speaker 2: man made things. When the United States is man made, 798 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 2: it's not. It doesn't exist except for men making Israel 799 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 2: that we know today is man made. Not God didn't 800 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,880 Speaker 2: make it. It was men who made the that is 801 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 2: a man. If you worship that, you're worshiping that's by paganism. 802 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 6: Almost so again. 803 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 2: You know, however, you see yourself in the conscious of 804 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 2: our humanity and God. I'm just saying, try to fulfill 805 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 2: that spiritual space and I think the physical stuff works 806 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:17,319 Speaker 2: out either way. 807 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 1: I think all right, sitting away from the top of 808 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,880 Speaker 1: that with Sinclis Kinnery is just joining us family, and 809 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,799 Speaker 1: welcome to Monday, and also welcome to March as well. 810 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: Second day of March. You're discussing what's going on in Iran, 811 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:30,319 Speaker 1: what's going on in the Middle East. Also, we're going 812 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: to talk about the Jesse Jackson's legacy, also Cryptocuncy, and 813 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,240 Speaker 1: also his program that he has I Love Black People 814 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 1: and he's going to explain what that is for us 815 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,760 Speaker 1: as well. But let's let's go back to the situation 816 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 1: in the Middle East, because you mentioned how it may 817 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:48,680 Speaker 1: disrupt the global economy. What advice would you have and 818 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,280 Speaker 1: I know you don't give financial advice, but what advice 819 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,439 Speaker 1: do you have for folks who're listening there, because people 820 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 1: don't understand that prices would probably soon be going up, 821 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,840 Speaker 1: with inflation would probably tick up. What advice do you 822 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 1: have for folks just regular joes who just they don't 823 00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 1: have as they think they don't have a skinny in 824 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,439 Speaker 1: the game, but we all do at this point. 825 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 2: Your thoughts, well, again, I think the price of oil 826 00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 2: definitely is going to change, and the question is how 827 00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 2: long is this going to last? I think is in 828 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 2: the interest of Iran for this war to last as 829 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:24,800 Speaker 2: long as possible because the size of Israel, the size 830 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:32,200 Speaker 2: of the United States armament stockpile are not of such 831 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,960 Speaker 2: age did last for months at the same level. I think, 832 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,960 Speaker 2: you know, so the question starts to be, you know, 833 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,719 Speaker 2: how would this ultimately impact our economy? I think, you know, 834 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 2: I would be conservative on things that you're doing. Like 835 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,319 Speaker 2: even with my travel, you know, I try to make sure, 836 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,000 Speaker 2: like I just told you, I went to Nairobi. I 837 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,279 Speaker 2: made sure that I was able to see some of 838 00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,800 Speaker 2: my staff and some of our members I love black people, 839 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 2: and attend a conference for one of the companies we're 840 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,800 Speaker 2: investing in, the Solar. I try to make sure that 841 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 2: every movement has as many layers of possibilities as possible 842 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,840 Speaker 2: instead of maybe just one thing and just trying to, 843 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 2: like again, trying to make sure that everything you're doing 844 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,920 Speaker 2: has a multiple impact. You know, I get highly Guerrima 845 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 2: just had a new the butz who did Saint Kopa 846 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,960 Speaker 2: just aired a new movie he has at the Lincoln Theater, 847 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,440 Speaker 2: you know, which is something we supported and the Mayor's 848 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,960 Speaker 2: office supported. And I took my wife out there for 849 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 2: date night, you know, so it was free because they 850 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 2: let me come. But I try to tell people trying 851 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,279 Speaker 2: to get like multiple things out of one thing as 852 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,799 Speaker 2: much as you can, like get a triple double out 853 00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 2: of it. And I also say this to say, you know, 854 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 2: the things that I do, I tried to figure out 855 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 2: things I enjoy anyway, So even if I would do 856 00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,719 Speaker 2: all of this, even if I didn't get paid, that's 857 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 2: the truth. Like I try to live a life that 858 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,399 Speaker 2: the things I do I enjoy and try to then 859 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,360 Speaker 2: figure out how to make it most profitable contextually or 860 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:15,319 Speaker 2: make it most beneficial in particular, because again, you never 861 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,440 Speaker 2: know when this thing's going to be over. You know, 862 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,359 Speaker 2: I don't think there's going to be a nuclear war 863 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,760 Speaker 2: because of this, but people, you know, we're really playing 864 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,200 Speaker 2: with fire or playing with nuclear war when we with 865 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:30,319 Speaker 2: this Ukrainian situation, it still could go bad because you're 866 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 2: French and the British are talking about giving Ukraine a 867 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,920 Speaker 2: dirty bomb. Like when you start being aware of some 868 00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:37,959 Speaker 2: of these things that are going on in the world. 869 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,319 Speaker 2: We should definitely make ourselves aware. I think another thing 870 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,759 Speaker 2: I try to tell people I follow, you know, and 871 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,240 Speaker 2: I know it's Elon Musk and he's horrible, he's racist 872 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:51,400 Speaker 2: and everything he is. But as it relates to alternative media, 873 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,400 Speaker 2: you know, along with your programming, there's quite a bit 874 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,320 Speaker 2: of programming on YouTube and on x or on Twitter 875 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 2: that I use to try to supplement the information I'm 876 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:06,440 Speaker 2: receiving from other mainstream sources, to the point that I 877 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,800 Speaker 2: really don't really watch CNN, like I might turn it 878 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 2: on you for my family instead of watching some other 879 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,840 Speaker 2: mindless stuff. But a lot of that stuff is just 880 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,640 Speaker 2: you know, news entertainment. They're not really they're really given 881 00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,000 Speaker 2: us all propaganda, but literally, you know, to find out that, 882 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 2: you know, some girls were bombed, the school was bombed, 883 00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,440 Speaker 2: to find out that Bahrain was bombed by Iran, like 884 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,440 Speaker 2: some of the information that people don't get. I think, 885 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,400 Speaker 2: you know, as you always say, information is power. Having 886 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,959 Speaker 2: multiple sources of that information. And I'll say this, our app, 887 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 2: I love Black people. We have a chat group like 888 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 2: our own Twitter, our own Instagram, within our app where 889 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,840 Speaker 2: I gave a list of the places that I seek 890 00:47:55,320 --> 00:48:00,759 Speaker 2: alternative news information just so that the people or on 891 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,239 Speaker 2: our chat have access to that information. 892 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:06,800 Speaker 1: Right Hold up though, right there, brother Saint Clair, we 893 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:08,120 Speaker 1: got to step uside and get caught up with the 894 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,399 Speaker 1: latest traffic and weather. I know you say you don't 895 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,239 Speaker 1: want snow, but I think snow's on tap for the 896 00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 1: Washington DC ERA this afternoon in Baltimore as well. So 897 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,719 Speaker 1: hold on, but let's check the traffic, weather, sports and 898 00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,040 Speaker 1: everything else that's next to two minutes away from the top. 899 00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:23,800 Speaker 1: They have family. You want to join our conversation with 900 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 1: Sinclair Skinner. Hit us up at eight hundred four or 901 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,920 Speaker 1: five zero seventy eight seventy six and we'll take your 902 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,839 Speaker 1: phone calls after the trafficing weather that's next and grand 903 00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:33,880 Speaker 1: rising family. And we've made it to we've made it 904 00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,479 Speaker 1: to March and Monday, of course, the first day of Monday. 905 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,719 Speaker 1: And our guest is DC active. He is a brother 906 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 1: Saint Claire. Skinner is also a Humanitarians, also an on 907 00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,360 Speaker 1: troubor Nor travels quite a bit discus seeing the situation Iran. 908 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,360 Speaker 1: We also want to talk about I Love Black People 909 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,919 Speaker 1: campaign before we do that I got a twe wanted 910 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,280 Speaker 1: to know your thoughts on whether it was the Epstein 911 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,480 Speaker 1: files with the or the fact that Donald Trump may 912 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,839 Speaker 1: now get a chance to postpone the elections in the fall. 913 00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,399 Speaker 1: What do you think was behind this attack on any 914 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,520 Speaker 1: Iran two questions I got from one of our tweeters. 915 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,399 Speaker 2: I think they might be some of the same thing. 916 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:09,320 Speaker 2: I think again with the Epstein Files show who started. 917 00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,319 Speaker 2: Some of the things I've seen is that they were 918 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 2: talking about, you know, domestic as well as international policy 919 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,960 Speaker 2: amongst a private group of powerful people, and that they 920 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:24,880 Speaker 2: could put their hands on politicians that we elect to 921 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,239 Speaker 2: have them do the things that they want them to do. 922 00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 2: They even talked about in the Epstein Files to say Libya. 923 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,200 Speaker 2: They was talking about how great it would be if 924 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:39,120 Speaker 2: they knocked off Momar Kadaffi. And next thing you know, 925 00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:43,720 Speaker 2: you see someone like Hillary Clinton. Who's the State Department 926 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:49,840 Speaker 2: involved in the murdering of Momarkadaffi. Some people say that 927 00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,320 Speaker 2: if you look at follow the money, there was a 928 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:56,360 Speaker 2: lot of there was financial support that emanated from relationships 929 00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:00,960 Speaker 2: that Epstein had with powerful folks to help fund the 930 00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:05,080 Speaker 2: Clinton Foundation. So again, some of the decisions that we 931 00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:08,680 Speaker 2: wonder why did this happen? Oftentimes is being done by 932 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:12,480 Speaker 2: people who either blackmailing folks or have you know, committed 933 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:17,360 Speaker 2: committed to a private club of activities that say, this 934 00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,440 Speaker 2: isn't our best interest. It may it's definitely not in 935 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:24,600 Speaker 2: the best interests of the majority of a US citizens, 936 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,160 Speaker 2: you know, to be concerned and worried about somebody blowing 937 00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,320 Speaker 2: up themselves, like the people who are making these decisions 938 00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,920 Speaker 2: aren't exposed to the risk that we as the you know, 939 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:38,080 Speaker 2: regular folks are exposed to. So again, I think the 940 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,279 Speaker 2: Epstein as well as the people making decisions are going 941 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:46,440 Speaker 2: to be a the elections. The decisions aren't being made 942 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,279 Speaker 2: in the political parties. I think you just got to 943 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 2: be clear that Epstein files taught us that the party 944 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:58,120 Speaker 2: system is meant for the poor, for the average everyday person, 945 00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:02,440 Speaker 2: but wealthy people, powerful people would never let a popular 946 00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,840 Speaker 2: vote dictate the outcome of anything they would do. So 947 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,600 Speaker 2: they make sure that they're in control of the system. 948 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,800 Speaker 2: So even if someone says they're going to postpone the election, 949 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 2: if they decide to or not, just know whoever is 950 00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:19,239 Speaker 2: in the system is oftentimes beholden the people that you 951 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,800 Speaker 2: don't even know. And by the time you vote, the 952 00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,320 Speaker 2: people who are on the ballot have already been selected, 953 00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:29,480 Speaker 2: and you're now participating in a system to count. In 954 00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:33,680 Speaker 2: some ways refuse your outrage by making you seem like 955 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:37,319 Speaker 2: you're participating. But much of it has been already orchestrated 956 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,880 Speaker 2: or been compromised. So again with Donald Trump, you know 957 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,399 Speaker 2: he was under his administration. This is what people don't 958 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,279 Speaker 2: talk about. It wasn't under Biden's administration that the essen 959 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 2: foles came out. It was actually under Trump. 960 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:52,759 Speaker 7: Like, just think that through. 961 00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:56,120 Speaker 2: Like, literally the most wicked is president of recent times, 962 00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,440 Speaker 2: and of course anybody who owned folks, it has to 963 00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 2: be wicked. So the first president of this two hundred 964 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,719 Speaker 2: and fifty years definitely awful. But this man is the 965 00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:11,360 Speaker 2: one who actually had his administration literally released redacted. Crazy. 966 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,759 Speaker 2: But actually it was the one who actually put the 967 00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,880 Speaker 2: files up. Now, Biden, I've heard people just say, well, Biden, 968 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:22,880 Speaker 2: they were still investigating. This is decades of molesting, raping children. 969 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:25,920 Speaker 2: Like if that doesn't give you a sense of urgency 970 00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,319 Speaker 2: to get the word out, I don't know what would. 971 00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:33,320 Speaker 2: But to allow people to have conversations about powerful, wicked 972 00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:38,879 Speaker 2: people farming. Little girls' lives do matter, and they talk 973 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:42,719 Speaker 2: about this in some you know, bureaucratic work way is 974 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,640 Speaker 2: just the miss. Actually what we just are talking about. 975 00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:51,440 Speaker 2: They literally were killing and harming little children at whole scale, 976 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,440 Speaker 2: not just on an island, not just on the plane, 977 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,800 Speaker 2: not just in New York, not just in New Mexico. 978 00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:01,040 Speaker 2: And they were doing this in exchange for favors. And like, 979 00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 2: that's a real thing that didn't take place under a 980 00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:10,360 Speaker 2: democratic president and also was going on under Obama. So again, 981 00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,120 Speaker 2: the system is what we need to be. Like, there's 982 00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:16,440 Speaker 2: principalities that we should be. We should stop letting, you know, 983 00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,120 Speaker 2: love and hate getting our head like when you're doing 984 00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:23,359 Speaker 2: business and politics, love and hate aren't good like strategies, 985 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:27,280 Speaker 2: it should be logic and rational. So again, the people 986 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:32,960 Speaker 2: who are controlling these policies would never commit themselves just 987 00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,239 Speaker 2: to one party. They call it buttering the bread on 988 00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,760 Speaker 2: both sides. You know, they they would never. So again, 989 00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,640 Speaker 2: when we're looking at what's happening, I think part of 990 00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:45,800 Speaker 2: this is also the Democrats think if they don't do anything, 991 00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 2: then it makes the situation get even worse so that 992 00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,000 Speaker 2: they can get more people to vote for them. I 993 00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:54,920 Speaker 2: think that's wrong, but I do understand that their strategy, 994 00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 2: like dcs not having stated that so many people attacked 995 00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,879 Speaker 2: Mirae Bowser, But where was the Congress? Where was Where 996 00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:03,879 Speaker 2: were all the Democrats? Where there was the Congressional black 997 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,560 Speaker 2: concause to stand up when we don't have the representation 998 00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,880 Speaker 2: in Congress. We got Eleanor Holmes, who's now about to retire, 999 00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,840 Speaker 2: you know, God bless them her service. But literally, the 1000 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,720 Speaker 2: Democrats were nowhere to be found when they were stealing 1001 00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:20,520 Speaker 2: a billion dollars out of the DC budget. So again 1002 00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:24,040 Speaker 2: you're you see these games people play, Well, let's make 1003 00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:25,759 Speaker 2: them hurt a little bit. That way they'll be more 1004 00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:26,919 Speaker 2: likely to come out and vote. 1005 00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:27,759 Speaker 6: These are the. 1006 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:32,040 Speaker 2: Games that policy. That's politics. It's not right, it's actually wrong. 1007 00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:36,080 Speaker 2: But since we get so beholden and loyal to people 1008 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:40,120 Speaker 2: that we then make excuses. People talk about Maggot being crazy. 1009 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,920 Speaker 2: There's a lot of crazy Democrats that will literally use 1010 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,319 Speaker 2: to explain to them what the Democrats that does. Well, 1011 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,439 Speaker 2: at least they're not Trump. And I tell people, listen, 1012 00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,680 Speaker 2: I've spent literally one hundreds of thousands of dollars supporting 1013 00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:55,880 Speaker 2: Democratic candidates. I've spent the great majority of part of 1014 00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,960 Speaker 2: my life supporting them. And this is what we get, Like, 1015 00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,319 Speaker 2: don't bring up the Republic because I've never given them 1016 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 2: a nickel. I've never spent a moment trying to support them. 1017 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,520 Speaker 2: So to give me that fake comparison, well, at least 1018 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,279 Speaker 2: the report, I never invested it in them. So the 1019 00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,759 Speaker 2: people I've given everything to, they better stop playing this 1020 00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:18,680 Speaker 2: performative games, wearing daishiki's and doing silly stop because my 1021 00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,640 Speaker 2: life ain't silly. My interests nor my agenda's not silly. 1022 00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,360 Speaker 2: Cut the check reparations. Stop these drugs and these guns 1023 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,600 Speaker 2: coming in my neighborhood. Like, there's some real things that 1024 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:30,360 Speaker 2: if you really want to hold people accountable, no matter what, 1025 00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,840 Speaker 2: we should hold them accountable now, no matter what, loyalty 1026 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,640 Speaker 2: should come to our community and our families and to 1027 00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 2: our agenda, not to these parties that all were created 1028 00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:44,200 Speaker 2: by what wealthy white males to control. 1029 00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,399 Speaker 1: Right now, hold that thought right there, Brother Saint Clair 1030 00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:48,360 Speaker 1: ten Minty say, after tough, they a family, just checking in. 1031 00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:50,799 Speaker 1: Brother Saint Clairs Skinny is an activist in Washington, DC. 1032 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:54,000 Speaker 1: Is also humanitarian. He is a businessman as well. And 1033 00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,440 Speaker 1: we're discussing the situation in Iran, and we're going to 1034 00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,160 Speaker 1: talk about his program, I Love Black People program and 1035 00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:02,880 Speaker 1: also his thoughts about Reverend Jesse Jackson before we do that. 1036 00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,479 Speaker 1: Though we talked about earlier the other three. The question 1037 00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:08,880 Speaker 1: was was this started because of the Epstein files or 1038 00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,800 Speaker 1: was this started to so that Donald Trump can you know, 1039 00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,120 Speaker 1: nullify the election so we weren't have elections in the fall. 1040 00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,719 Speaker 1: Were's another question that I think may be another reason. 1041 00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,880 Speaker 1: It may be that Obama already had an Iran nuclear 1042 00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:24,280 Speaker 1: deal done and it was sort of working perfectly. Iranic 1043 00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:28,319 Speaker 1: it's completely stopped its nuclear weapons program. Then on comes 1044 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump and he says he wants to dismantle it, 1045 00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,840 Speaker 1: he wants to rip it up. Do you think this 1046 00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,760 Speaker 1: could be another reason? Because this this deal that Obama 1047 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,520 Speaker 1: crafted with Iran and it was working. They had, you know, 1048 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:45,040 Speaker 1: they had completely stopped making nuclear weapons. And Donald Trump says, well, 1049 00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:46,920 Speaker 1: they go, we don't want them to get nuclear weapons 1050 00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:48,960 Speaker 1: because then this is what Netanyah who told them. Because 1051 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,319 Speaker 1: now Netanya wants the United States to do his work 1052 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,520 Speaker 1: and clean up, you know, get all these enemies out 1053 00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,600 Speaker 1: from in proximity of Israel. But he doesn't want to 1054 00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,320 Speaker 1: use Israeli forces. He wants to use American forces. So 1055 00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:02,760 Speaker 1: your thoughts on that, could this be another reason? 1056 00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,040 Speaker 2: I think even when we talk about Obama, the same 1057 00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:10,760 Speaker 2: Epstein people were actually operating when he was in office. 1058 00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:15,000 Speaker 2: So even when they keep bringing up Iran and nuclear weapons, 1059 00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:19,000 Speaker 2: Iran has made it clear that they don't want nuclear weapons. 1060 00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,640 Speaker 2: It was actually an edict or fatois that the Aratola 1061 00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:27,680 Speaker 2: had said since nineteen eighty nine that they made it haram. 1062 00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:31,280 Speaker 2: They made it like it was wrong to create weapons 1063 00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,840 Speaker 2: of mass destruction like that. So to say it was 1064 00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:39,400 Speaker 2: Obama or these other folks stopped the the Iranians who 1065 00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:43,040 Speaker 2: want to blow up the world. Iranians just wanted the 1066 00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:48,160 Speaker 2: West to stop putting sanctions against them. They operate. Israel 1067 00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:53,960 Speaker 2: has never admitted to having nuclear weapons. They've never allowed 1068 00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:58,360 Speaker 2: any of the international institutions to review any of their 1069 00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:03,240 Speaker 2: nuclear whatever. Iran has been a party to these things, 1070 00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,960 Speaker 2: has allowed all Even one of the things said in 1071 00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:11,400 Speaker 2: the Twelve Day War was that information from the inspections 1072 00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:15,040 Speaker 2: that were done was given to the US and others 1073 00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:21,120 Speaker 2: to help target their nuclear legal ability to do so. So, 1074 00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:25,160 Speaker 2: when you start talking about non proliferation of weapons and arms. 1075 00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:32,080 Speaker 2: Iran has you know, been accountable before Obama, but there's 1076 00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,760 Speaker 2: allies of the United States that have not but are 1077 00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:39,120 Speaker 2: not underscrewed me. So again, I don't think it's the 1078 00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:42,880 Speaker 2: Epstein parts. Again is that behind the scenes there's people 1079 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:47,240 Speaker 2: who are purposely, you know, having an agenda to attack 1080 00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:51,360 Speaker 2: Iran and destabilize it so that their interests could thrive 1081 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,760 Speaker 2: in that region. I mean, again, there's ninety million people. 1082 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,680 Speaker 2: When you look at you know, Baha, Rain and Kuato, 1083 00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:01,080 Speaker 2: these countries are run by They're not democratics that run 1084 00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:06,080 Speaker 2: by kings and monarchs of small families. This has less 1085 00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:10,040 Speaker 2: to do probably with the proliferation of nuclear weapons and 1086 00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,560 Speaker 2: more about how do you control a region. If Iran 1087 00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,200 Speaker 2: wanted the weapons, they can have got win, just like 1088 00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:20,240 Speaker 2: North Korea, Pakistan and these other countries. I don't again, 1089 00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:23,360 Speaker 2: but this is my opinion. I think with as many scientists, 1090 00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:26,240 Speaker 2: as smart as they are, and their close proximity to 1091 00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:30,520 Speaker 2: other countries like Pakistan which they share a border, if 1092 00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:34,360 Speaker 2: they really really wanted to get access to nuclear weapons 1093 00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:38,280 Speaker 2: over the last forty some years, they could have probably 1094 00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:41,200 Speaker 2: done it. I think what they've done is use this 1095 00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:45,000 Speaker 2: as a reason to destroy their economy, which creates an 1096 00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:48,720 Speaker 2: environment for regime change. The same thing you saw in Venezuela. 1097 00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:52,000 Speaker 2: You harm their economy and then the people get so 1098 00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:56,000 Speaker 2: exacerbated with what's going on, like I said, just paying 1099 00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:59,960 Speaker 2: the bills, that they'll rise up or not rise up 1100 01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,120 Speaker 2: to protect their government because they feel like their economy. 1101 01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:06,680 Speaker 2: The same thing happened in Zimbabwe. Literally, these are again 1102 01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:13,439 Speaker 2: things that have been done using economics, you know, warfare basically, sanctions, espionage, 1103 01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:17,439 Speaker 2: undermine your economy and then bring up nuclear weapons, knowing 1104 01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,640 Speaker 2: darn well that one of the United States' biggest allies 1105 01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:24,320 Speaker 2: in the region has not done anything that's legal as 1106 01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:28,080 Speaker 2: it relates to this nuclear stockpile. 1107 01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,240 Speaker 1: All right, fourteen half that tofa Let's get into I 1108 01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:35,320 Speaker 1: Love Black People campaign. Who how did you come up 1109 01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:38,160 Speaker 1: with this? Why did you create it and how do 1110 01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:39,080 Speaker 1: you come about. 1111 01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:43,400 Speaker 2: Well, you know, we started off doing a work with 1112 01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:46,680 Speaker 2: my co founder, mister Christopher Mapander, who went to Howard 1113 01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:50,840 Speaker 2: who's from Zimbabwe. We started off this, you know, trying 1114 01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:55,200 Speaker 2: to do something Pan African to help our people using technology. 1115 01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:58,120 Speaker 2: After working on several projects, one of the projects that 1116 01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,240 Speaker 2: had worked on was literally trying to, you know, come 1117 01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:06,040 Speaker 2: up with a way to use ethanol or fueling them. 1118 01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:09,960 Speaker 2: They were going through again horrible sanctions and things, and 1119 01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:12,160 Speaker 2: we were trying to figure out ways to use technology. 1120 01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:14,960 Speaker 2: And one of the things we decided it was hard 1121 01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:18,680 Speaker 2: to move money into them and the Western Union and 1122 01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:24,560 Speaker 2: money graund they always charged Africa higher prices even with tailcos, 1123 01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:28,120 Speaker 2: with the price of Wi Fi, the prices of tailcos, 1124 01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:32,680 Speaker 2: the price of sending money is artificially controlled and they 1125 01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:36,080 Speaker 2: make us pay more, just like in black neighborhoods in 1126 01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:38,680 Speaker 2: America where you might pay more for ATM and a 1127 01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:42,160 Speaker 2: black community as opposed to other communities. So we looked 1128 01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,600 Speaker 2: at what we could do and the first thing was, hey, 1129 01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:47,600 Speaker 2: we had the idea we're using bitcoin to send money 1130 01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:51,200 Speaker 2: back and forth. And then there was a coupe that 1131 01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:54,680 Speaker 2: happened where they shut down you know, a lot of 1132 01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:56,600 Speaker 2: the trade that was happening at the time I was 1133 01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,680 Speaker 2: in Zimbabwe, and one of the things we said, well, 1134 01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:03,000 Speaker 2: we can't do this. What can we do to help 1135 01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,200 Speaker 2: our people? And one of the things that was brought 1136 01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:11,680 Speaker 2: up was the Green Book and how our people were 1137 01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:16,640 Speaker 2: able to use this book to move about. Jim pro 1138 01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:22,720 Speaker 2: American apartheid without being a fear of being harmed from 1139 01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:26,960 Speaker 2: jim pro segregation and racist people. And we said, well, 1140 01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:30,280 Speaker 2: you know what, we've the things that we've dealt with globally, 1141 01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:34,200 Speaker 2: dealing with Zimbabwe, we realized that some of the same 1142 01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:39,160 Speaker 2: things still happen and that there's nothing that's actually existent 1143 01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:41,919 Speaker 2: at the point that we were doing it to help 1144 01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,400 Speaker 2: protect our people. So we said, look, let's take that 1145 01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:48,280 Speaker 2: concept of the Green Book and make it digital. We 1146 01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,920 Speaker 2: already were a tech company, We already were had some 1147 01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:54,600 Speaker 2: super brilliant young minds who were helping us build. And 1148 01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:57,200 Speaker 2: we said, look, we'll take that in an original Green 1149 01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:00,320 Speaker 2: Book starting in the nineteen thirty nineteen six by Victor 1150 01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:02,760 Speaker 2: Green in Africa and. 1151 01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:04,880 Speaker 7: Said, well, it was to help black people, why is. 1152 01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:08,200 Speaker 2: It called the Green Book? And then Momarch and dopy 1153 01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:10,120 Speaker 2: I also had a little Green Book like the Little 1154 01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:13,240 Speaker 2: Red Book in China but now but literally we had 1155 01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:14,760 Speaker 2: to tell them, well, you know how men are. He 1156 01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,840 Speaker 2: named the book after himself. His name was Green, Victor Green. 1157 01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:22,240 Speaker 2: So we took his concept Victor Green had and we 1158 01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:25,800 Speaker 2: then digitized it. And the original Green Book started off 1159 01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:26,720 Speaker 2: with pay. 1160 01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:28,400 Speaker 1: Right and hold up, thought right, there, brother Saint Clair 1161 01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:29,680 Speaker 1: got a step aside for a few moments and we 1162 01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:31,520 Speaker 1: come back. I'll let you finish telling us about I 1163 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,360 Speaker 1: Love Black People Campaign that he started. Family, you two 1164 01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,360 Speaker 1: can get in on this discussion. Reach out to us 1165 01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:39,760 Speaker 1: at eight hundred four five zero seventy eight seventy six 1166 01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,840 Speaker 1: and we'll take your phone calls next and Grand Rising Family, 1167 01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,120 Speaker 1: thanks for joining us on this Monday morning. I'm just 1168 01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:47,439 Speaker 1: starting the week with us, and also the month. We're 1169 01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,280 Speaker 1: on the second day of March. Also, it's the new 1170 01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:50,920 Speaker 1: moon out there and tomorrow's going to be what they 1171 01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,520 Speaker 1: call a blood moon. We'll talk about that later as well. 1172 01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:55,919 Speaker 1: Twenty one minutes after the top there with our guests, 1173 01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:58,600 Speaker 1: the brother Saint Clair Skinner. He's a DC activist, he's 1174 01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,720 Speaker 1: a humanitarian, he's also an entrepreneur and it's also created 1175 01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:05,320 Speaker 1: this program called I Love Black People Campaign. So before 1176 01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:08,080 Speaker 1: we left, these explain to us why he started and 1177 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,479 Speaker 1: how it works. So, Brother Sinclay, I let you finish 1178 01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:10,880 Speaker 1: your thought. 1179 01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:12,120 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1180 01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:15,320 Speaker 2: So the original Green Book focused on places the eat, 1181 01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:19,800 Speaker 2: places of sleep, and transportation because again that was a 1182 01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,960 Speaker 2: big consideration of the people going to places that they 1183 01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:26,240 Speaker 2: weren't aware of. And they were very vulnerable to the 1184 01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:30,520 Speaker 2: legalized racism that existed at that time. Now what we 1185 01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:34,920 Speaker 2: did was expanded to include a category, so it wasn't 1186 01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:38,520 Speaker 2: just places the eat place for cleetand translation. We included healthcare, 1187 01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:47,560 Speaker 2: legal education slash, childcare, finance, beauty. So we made sure 1188 01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,240 Speaker 2: that we covered like the critical areas that if you 1189 01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:54,120 Speaker 2: got something wrong, that you wouldn't want to have a 1190 01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:58,040 Speaker 2: racist person dealing with you, Like even with healthcare when 1191 01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:01,640 Speaker 2: we dealt with the COVID era when we had the 1192 01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:05,080 Speaker 2: original platform put together. One of the things that people 1193 01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,720 Speaker 2: were you know, realizing, you know, travel is one vulnerability, 1194 01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,200 Speaker 2: but when you're sick, you're vulnerable too. And they were 1195 01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:15,840 Speaker 2: racist doctors who were misdiagnosing people and getting them to 1196 01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,080 Speaker 2: do things they shouldn't do, or even dealing with what 1197 01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:25,040 Speaker 2: sister Serena Williams. You know, she almost literally was killed 1198 01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:30,640 Speaker 2: given birth. And she's healthy, athletic, rich, popular narriture of 1199 01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:34,600 Speaker 2: European almost none of that protected her from almost being 1200 01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:37,720 Speaker 2: killed by giving birth. So we realized the issues that 1201 01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,440 Speaker 2: are critical legal you could be famous. There's a lot 1202 01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:43,520 Speaker 2: of famous people who were over in other countries and 1203 01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:47,080 Speaker 2: had problems with legal situations. You know, you don't want 1204 01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:50,840 Speaker 2: to go to a racist lawyer. So we identify eight 1205 01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:55,400 Speaker 2: key areas that were critical of people activity. You know, 1206 01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:59,800 Speaker 2: similar French doctor francs Chus Wilson we talked about, but different, 1207 01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:02,480 Speaker 2: but we literally saw those as the key areas that 1208 01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:05,120 Speaker 2: if you find somebody you want to make sure they 1209 01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:09,800 Speaker 2: weren't racist. Now it doesn't include carpenters or cable installation, 1210 01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:13,600 Speaker 2: those type things, because again, having a racist carpenter is 1211 01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:15,800 Speaker 2: a problem. There's not the same thing having like a 1212 01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:19,280 Speaker 2: racist doctor. So we really are just focused on really 1213 01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:22,360 Speaker 2: the key areas where if you get the wrong support 1214 01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:25,880 Speaker 2: that it could caused grave problems. So now we have 1215 01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 2: people crowdsourcing, our members crowdsource the information, and we launched 1216 01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,880 Speaker 2: the actual app itself, not just the website like we 1217 01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:37,880 Speaker 2: had before, in December, and then this month we just 1218 01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:42,840 Speaker 2: released our sixth edition of the Global Green Book. So 1219 01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,400 Speaker 2: what we do is take sample of some of the 1220 01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:51,200 Speaker 2: businesses that are in on the digital application and we 1221 01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:54,160 Speaker 2: include those in the book. And prior to that we 1222 01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:56,440 Speaker 2: had the website. We took some businesses from the website 1223 01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,240 Speaker 2: and we literally share those with you so you can 1224 01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:01,800 Speaker 2: no matter where you are. I think we have, like 1225 01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:05,080 Speaker 2: you know, I forget the number of listening, but totally 1226 01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:09,240 Speaker 2: I think we have almost thirty thousand listings, so you know, 1227 01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:12,520 Speaker 2: and these listenings come from folks who are on our app, 1228 01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:16,360 Speaker 2: who are recommending these apps, and we're asking that if 1229 01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:20,040 Speaker 2: you download the app, that you verify the places that 1230 01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:23,360 Speaker 2: are already being recommended so that we can make sure 1231 01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:25,920 Speaker 2: the places that are on there are the places that 1232 01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,200 Speaker 2: are treating our people with dignity and respect, so you 1233 01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:30,720 Speaker 2: get the chance to do that. And then then on 1234 01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:33,240 Speaker 2: the app, if you open it up, we have different 1235 01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:36,760 Speaker 2: categories where you know, we start off with beginners, advocates 1236 01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,400 Speaker 2: all the way up to guardians and ambassadors, so the 1237 01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:41,920 Speaker 2: people who are really putting in work, we want to 1238 01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:44,720 Speaker 2: make sure we support you and your activities. And then 1239 01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:47,000 Speaker 2: for the folks who get on the app and want 1240 01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,560 Speaker 2: to just find some places. If you agree with what 1241 01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:51,920 Speaker 2: you see on the app, make sure you give it 1242 01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:56,360 Speaker 2: another recommendation because we're able to show you the businesses 1243 01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:59,720 Speaker 2: like a Google map around you. We can show you 1244 01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:02,360 Speaker 2: you based on proximity, how close it is to you, 1245 01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:06,400 Speaker 2: or based on who has the most recommendations. So we 1246 01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:09,440 Speaker 2: focused on recommendation. Now here's the thing that we don't do. 1247 01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:12,960 Speaker 2: We don't have a set up where you do negative things. Well, 1248 01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:15,880 Speaker 2: we realize if somebody tell you don't go somewhere and 1249 01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:18,960 Speaker 2: you're sick, we still don't know where to go. So 1250 01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:22,280 Speaker 2: our focus is on places that are black friendly, not 1251 01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:25,760 Speaker 2: the places that are not black friendly. The information and 1252 01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:29,840 Speaker 2: database that we maintain and support are full of the 1253 01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:33,479 Speaker 2: lists of places that have been crowdsourced from people like 1254 01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:38,000 Speaker 2: your listeners who share that information. So that's what we've 1255 01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:40,760 Speaker 2: been building. And of course the books on Amazon to 1256 01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:43,519 Speaker 2: make sure you go out and grab it and also 1257 01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:47,240 Speaker 2: download the app is free. It's not free to make this, 1258 01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,559 Speaker 2: but you know, with some of the things that we've done, 1259 01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:54,599 Speaker 2: is invested in this through our friends and family, as 1260 01:08:54,640 --> 01:09:00,640 Speaker 2: well as investment from some institutions that we are you know, 1261 01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:05,760 Speaker 2: from even Crypto, to help build this application so that 1262 01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:07,919 Speaker 2: we can share it with our community. 1263 01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:10,560 Speaker 1: Well, let me jump here at twenty six after the 1264 01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,000 Speaker 1: ton there, brother Sinclair, what about we still you know, 1265 01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:16,000 Speaker 1: despite what we talk about on this particular program, we 1266 01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:18,240 Speaker 1: still got some folks who look like us, look like 1267 01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:21,280 Speaker 1: me and you, brother Sinclair, and they will never invest 1268 01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:24,880 Speaker 1: or a purchase or buy anything made by black hands. 1269 01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:27,000 Speaker 1: What do you say to those folks? You just write 1270 01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:28,880 Speaker 1: them off or just keep moving or try to try 1271 01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:32,280 Speaker 1: to convert them to understand what they what they displaying 1272 01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:34,160 Speaker 1: is self hate. How do you deal with them? 1273 01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:35,040 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1274 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,599 Speaker 2: The first first answer, yeah, I just we just keep 1275 01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:41,360 Speaker 2: you a movement like life is too short. I don't 1276 01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:44,040 Speaker 2: there's people better than me with more patience. They can 1277 01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:49,400 Speaker 2: teach people the difference between loving yourself and not. What 1278 01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:51,400 Speaker 2: we're doing is we're froms on the people who are 1279 01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:54,400 Speaker 2: already there and they're trying to figure out what to 1280 01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:56,840 Speaker 2: do with that love. Well, we say you can spread 1281 01:09:56,880 --> 01:10:00,439 Speaker 2: that love by sharing information about places that you people 1282 01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:03,800 Speaker 2: with dignity and respect, so that you're the greater Black 1283 01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:06,280 Speaker 2: community and can benefit from it. Like you know, I'm 1284 01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:10,400 Speaker 2: a member of fraternity and with the HBCUs Testigee Howard, 1285 01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:12,519 Speaker 2: so I already have a network of folks that I 1286 01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:16,120 Speaker 2: can turn to. I need information about a doctor or 1287 01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,479 Speaker 2: a lawyer. But what about the brothers and sisters who 1288 01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:21,840 Speaker 2: don't have access. It takes people who are Pan Africans 1289 01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:25,879 Speaker 2: who understand that we're all family that share that information. 1290 01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:28,320 Speaker 2: But it's not enough to say I'm a Pan African, 1291 01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,240 Speaker 2: I'm pro black. That's great. You know what we're gonna 1292 01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:33,200 Speaker 2: do now, like you athlete, what we're going to do. 1293 01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:36,000 Speaker 2: One of the things you can do is literally just 1294 01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:39,559 Speaker 2: share information that you already have. Everybody may not protest, 1295 01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:44,240 Speaker 2: everybody may not march, but this is something by crowdsourcing. 1296 01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:48,639 Speaker 2: By sharing your favorite doctor, sharing your favorite lawyer, dentist, 1297 01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:52,320 Speaker 2: a place to eat, farmer's market, these are all things 1298 01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:55,320 Speaker 2: that are very important. Like again right now, it was 1299 01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:57,280 Speaker 2: going on in the Middle East. One of the things 1300 01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:00,600 Speaker 2: we reached out to our members this morning, UH be 1301 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:04,880 Speaker 2: con maning our members in Africa is checking on folks 1302 01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:08,320 Speaker 2: who are in the Middle Western Asia, Middle East right now, 1303 01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:10,679 Speaker 2: what are some of the things they're going to through 1304 01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:13,840 Speaker 2: you know, what are some services they may need, the 1305 01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:17,960 Speaker 2: legal services, Food they're having food shortages. One of the 1306 01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:21,120 Speaker 2: things that I just heard UH this morning was uh 1307 01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:25,479 Speaker 2: Dubai in the UAE. Again, when you start seeing you 1308 01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:30,080 Speaker 2: know the UH airports and things shut down, and and 1309 01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:33,519 Speaker 2: and and the waterways shut down. That impacts food, you know, 1310 01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:38,960 Speaker 2: especially perishable items and there's no shortages. So again, being 1311 01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:44,320 Speaker 2: able to share information with our global black family to say, hey, 1312 01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:47,880 Speaker 2: you know, if you are in need, uh, let's say food, 1313 01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:50,680 Speaker 2: here's some places that you can go through. These are 1314 01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:54,280 Speaker 2: things that we're doing using our app as a means 1315 01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:58,400 Speaker 2: to communicate. And so again, you know, there's meta, there's 1316 01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:02,519 Speaker 2: there's telegram, there's all these means, but we have our 1317 01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:06,040 Speaker 2: own way to communicate using the app itself. 1318 01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:09,320 Speaker 1: So you know as well, let me let me ask 1319 01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,120 Speaker 1: you this though. At thirty minutes after the top. I'm 1320 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:14,240 Speaker 1: going to give you an example. Say I'm flying to 1321 01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:17,960 Speaker 1: Africa and we stop in Amsterdam Skipple Airport. We got 1322 01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:21,599 Speaker 1: this long layover sometimes this happens almost twelve hour layover 1323 01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:26,160 Speaker 1: a toothache. Can I use your app and to find 1324 01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:32,360 Speaker 1: a black friendly dentist anywhere in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. 1325 01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:35,439 Speaker 2: Absolutely, Copenhagen, Denmark, you named it. It could be a 1326 01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:38,519 Speaker 2: Mongolian dinnerst though, it could be a Mongolian woman dinnist 1327 01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:43,639 Speaker 2: that that local community goes to and they get treated 1328 01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:47,080 Speaker 2: with dignity and respect. That's why, again so many people 1329 01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:49,640 Speaker 2: is a misnomer. They think the Green Book was a 1330 01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:53,040 Speaker 2: black business directory and many of the businesses were not 1331 01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:56,479 Speaker 2: black holed. The bottom line was our safety. So if 1332 01:12:56,520 --> 01:13:00,240 Speaker 2: you're in Kansas or Idaho, it wasn't about is this 1333 01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:04,599 Speaker 2: person black and spending money the whole capitalism growing people 1334 01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:06,599 Speaker 2: be trying to get us with. It was really about 1335 01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:09,320 Speaker 2: where can you go to be safe and not harmed 1336 01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:13,240 Speaker 2: or humiliated. So that's what we're doing today is to say, look, 1337 01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:15,519 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, no matter who the 1338 01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:17,880 Speaker 2: person providing the service, they got to be able to 1339 01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:20,559 Speaker 2: provide a service to black people with dignity and respect. 1340 01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:22,600 Speaker 2: And if they don't, we're not using it. And the 1341 01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:25,679 Speaker 2: reason we focus on businesses is because we're not waiting 1342 01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:29,479 Speaker 2: for governments to change. Businesses can dictate how they treat 1343 01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:34,719 Speaker 2: people because they own the stakes. So our concept again 1344 01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:38,200 Speaker 2: based on agreement. But if these people are interested in 1345 01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:41,400 Speaker 2: making sure we're treated with dignancy, respect, we want to 1346 01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:44,240 Speaker 2: make sure that's included so you can navigate this world 1347 01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:48,639 Speaker 2: of racist white supervice people and live your life more freely. 1348 01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:52,839 Speaker 1: So that the persons in the book are not necessarily 1349 01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:55,439 Speaker 1: black persons. Then you're saying that, so how do you 1350 01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:58,639 Speaker 1: vet them to make sure that they're cool with black folks? 1351 01:13:58,920 --> 01:13:59,559 Speaker 1: How's that done? 1352 01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,840 Speaker 2: So the only way that people can become members first 1353 01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:05,080 Speaker 2: of all, to get on our platform, you know, you 1354 01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:07,360 Speaker 2: got to have your phone number, your email. We got 1355 01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:09,639 Speaker 2: to vet make sure that's a real number. In most 1356 01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:12,720 Speaker 2: places in the world, your phone number, the only way 1357 01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:16,080 Speaker 2: you can get is by presenting a real ID at 1358 01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:18,800 Speaker 2: some at some point, So we make sure we do 1359 01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:21,439 Speaker 2: the best we can to identify the folks that are 1360 01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:24,200 Speaker 2: on the app as being real people. And then two, 1361 01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:28,920 Speaker 2: we allow people to verify whatever's been recommended on our app. 1362 01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:32,280 Speaker 2: So if there's a business that's recommended, you go there 1363 01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:35,720 Speaker 2: and it's and it's an awesome place, we get you 1364 01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:38,280 Speaker 2: get a chance to recommend it for the second time. 1365 01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:42,360 Speaker 2: And what happens ultimately is that there's businesses that have 1366 01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:47,559 Speaker 2: more recommendations than others. So we're using a verification process 1367 01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:51,479 Speaker 2: that each member gets to participate in to validate like 1368 01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:55,360 Speaker 2: even again, you know multiple it might be a city 1369 01:14:55,439 --> 01:15:00,720 Speaker 2: with one doctor that's that's from Afghanistan, the trees black people, well, 1370 01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:06,160 Speaker 2: then they might have multiple recommendations for it. It may 1371 01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:09,080 Speaker 2: not be any other doctor that's treats as well. So 1372 01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:13,160 Speaker 2: for us, it's really not about how many places, is 1373 01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:15,519 Speaker 2: just making sure that the places that we do have 1374 01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:19,040 Speaker 2: are places that actually see that dignty respect. 1375 01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:22,000 Speaker 1: Let me ask you a twenty eight away from the 1376 01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:24,040 Speaker 1: top there, brother Saint Clair. You know, I think it 1377 01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:26,360 Speaker 1: was Friday. One of our listeners called in that one 1378 01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:30,160 Speaker 1: of the African centate schools in Washington, d C. Needed 1379 01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:32,000 Speaker 1: some help. They're trying to ask they were asking for money, 1380 01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:35,000 Speaker 1: but I had a plumbing problem. And I propose that 1381 01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:37,280 Speaker 1: you know, one of our plumbers who was listening, go 1382 01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:39,840 Speaker 1: over there and just through it. The pro bono is, 1383 01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:43,000 Speaker 1: how do if that school wanted to find out a 1384 01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:45,479 Speaker 1: good plumber, how did they find out who that plumber 1385 01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:48,439 Speaker 1: would be? And how do people if the plumbers listening 1386 01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:52,040 Speaker 1: out there in DC or in New Orleans or Dallas, 1387 01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:53,840 Speaker 1: how do they get on the list though? How they 1388 01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:56,120 Speaker 1: get on the on the list for so the people 1389 01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:59,840 Speaker 1: can know that they're they're black friendly if you will, Well, 1390 01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:01,160 Speaker 1: we don't. 1391 01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,760 Speaker 2: Have plumbers, so the trades are not on there. So 1392 01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:07,280 Speaker 2: for us again, the areas that we talk about are healthcare, 1393 01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:12,760 Speaker 2: legal races, that sleep, places to eat. The areas is 1394 01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:16,320 Speaker 2: eight categories that we think are critical where you don't 1395 01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:19,200 Speaker 2: have a lot of information and you need some help 1396 01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:22,000 Speaker 2: with making a decision now when it comes to a 1397 01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:26,040 Speaker 2: plumber or carpenter, somebody to clean your carpet. These are 1398 01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:28,439 Speaker 2: still things you don't want to deal with racist folks, 1399 01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:32,599 Speaker 2: but the consequences are having a racist plumber are very 1400 01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:36,920 Speaker 2: different than a racist doctor. So for us for now 1401 01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:40,960 Speaker 2: at least, you know, as we develop and continue, like 1402 01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:44,759 Speaker 2: I said, we just launched their official launch in December, 1403 01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:48,559 Speaker 2: you know, we could increase these categories. Who were really 1404 01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:52,679 Speaker 2: focusing at this moment on those critical categories. So plumbing 1405 01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:53,559 Speaker 2: is not there. 1406 01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:56,720 Speaker 1: All right, So even for a doctor or Dennis, how 1407 01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:57,599 Speaker 1: do they get on the list. 1408 01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:00,880 Speaker 2: Then, Oh, you got to be recommended loan as somebody 1409 01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,599 Speaker 2: refers you. That's how you get on. There's no pain, 1410 01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:05,920 Speaker 2: there's no The only way you can get on our 1411 01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:08,240 Speaker 2: app is there somebody recommends you. 1412 01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:12,439 Speaker 1: And if you use the app and you feel that 1413 01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:17,240 Speaker 1: you weren't treated with respect or treated inappropriately, is there 1414 01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:19,519 Speaker 1: a way that you can file those grievances so other 1415 01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:22,479 Speaker 1: family members will you know, experience the same issue. 1416 01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:26,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, we on our app, you can always reach out 1417 01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:28,800 Speaker 2: to us and give a feedback. So we have a 1418 01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:32,639 Speaker 2: feed you know, it's the feedback is for any feedback, 1419 01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:37,519 Speaker 2: but we have a feedback that allows you to share 1420 01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:42,280 Speaker 2: any information that you think is relevant for whatever reason. 1421 01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:44,840 Speaker 2: If something's wrong with the app is not working, or 1422 01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:47,439 Speaker 2: if you love the app, or if a place that 1423 01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:50,599 Speaker 2: you went to ended up not treating you right, all 1424 01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:53,639 Speaker 2: those things, we want the feedback and that's the whole 1425 01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:57,120 Speaker 2: purpose that the way we've developed our app is called 1426 01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:00,439 Speaker 2: the lean startup method. We would literally try to use 1427 01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:04,320 Speaker 2: your feedback to help us get the best product market 1428 01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:06,560 Speaker 2: fit to do the things that you wanted to do. 1429 01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:09,120 Speaker 2: So let me say another way, if we get more 1430 01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,040 Speaker 2: people saying I want plumbers out here, ultimately we're probably 1431 01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:14,680 Speaker 2: gonna have plumbers to it. Where we are now has 1432 01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:17,880 Speaker 2: been based on the feedback we've gotten from people. Even 1433 01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:22,240 Speaker 2: the issue of negative reviews versus positive, So many people 1434 01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:26,120 Speaker 2: brought up how negative reviews had got so bad on 1435 01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:29,840 Speaker 2: social media that the real issue is making sure we 1436 01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:33,360 Speaker 2: identify the places that are doing it right, and those 1437 01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:36,160 Speaker 2: were things that we focus on. Should we change that 1438 01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:39,720 Speaker 2: later Once we got the places that you can go 1439 01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:42,800 Speaker 2: to and get treated well, then we'll we can see 1440 01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:46,960 Speaker 2: about what we do after that. But feedback on the 1441 01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:50,479 Speaker 2: places as well as your experience on the app is 1442 01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:52,680 Speaker 2: priceless for us we definitely need that. 1443 01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:56,160 Speaker 1: All right, twenty four minutes away from the top of out, 1444 01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:58,240 Speaker 1: we got to check the news again in that different cities. 1445 01:18:58,479 --> 01:18:59,920 Speaker 1: When we come back that we're going to talk about 1446 01:18:59,920 --> 01:19:02,040 Speaker 1: the legacy of the Reverend Jesse Jackson.

All Right, Brollt sint Clare, Reverend Jackson's 1481 01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:34,840 Speaker 1: is legacy because I know as we speak now he's 1482 01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:38,120 Speaker 1: laying lying in stage I should say in Columbia, South Carolina, 1483 01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:40,920 Speaker 1: where the state that he grew up. And after that 1484 01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:45,160 Speaker 1: there's going to be a homegoing services at Operation Rainbow 1485 01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:48,519 Speaker 1: Push headquarters in Chicago, and they say that a service 1486 01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:51,400 Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. To honor him as being postponed 1487 01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:54,360 Speaker 1: till later date. Your thoughts about the legacy of Reverend 1488 01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:55,520 Speaker 1: Jesse Jackson. 1489 01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:58,760 Speaker 2: Well, look, I'm glad you told me about that. I 1490 01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:01,360 Speaker 2: thought they were having some thing at Howard this week 1491 01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:05,320 Speaker 2: on Wednesday, So a big postpone that or moved it. 1492 01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:08,920 Speaker 2: I think, first of all, an information his power, this 1493 01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:12,640 Speaker 2: is always the right channel to be all. Jesse was 1494 01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:16,040 Speaker 2: amazing for us. I mean, I think I started college 1495 01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:20,879 Speaker 2: in eighty seven and my first campaign was Jesse Jackson's 1496 01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:26,000 Speaker 2: nineteen a eight campaign and one of my mentors, Latresia 1497 01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:29,920 Speaker 2: Rutland and Mayor Johnny fld of Tuskega. I was in 1498 01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:33,160 Speaker 2: Nigan County, and I mean what he did was you 1499 01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:35,920 Speaker 2: know again, I was the second campaign, but he really 1500 01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:41,080 Speaker 2: revolutionized the way many blacks had been engaged in politics 1501 01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:45,320 Speaker 2: because up until his election, his races, you know, when 1502 01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:48,519 Speaker 2: from run to Jesse, run to win, Jesse winn A 1503 01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:51,280 Speaker 2: lot of the black folks in Alabama were doing a 1504 01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:54,280 Speaker 2: lot of the hard work behind the scenes in the 1505 01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:58,080 Speaker 2: Democratic Party at the time, but weren't getting recognized, and 1506 01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:01,519 Speaker 2: his campaign didn't have money, but they were able to 1507 01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,040 Speaker 2: give folks great titles so you could be Chair of 1508 01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:09,320 Speaker 2: Alabama Chair this Like, he really got folks involved who 1509 01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:13,000 Speaker 2: were already doing the work and recognized them so they 1510 01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:15,920 Speaker 2: could be seen and show them that they could do 1511 01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:19,679 Speaker 2: these things too. And I think there's probably a again 1512 01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:25,800 Speaker 2: generations of elected officials that got their early start. You 1513 01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:28,839 Speaker 2: know again, I did that, and then when we ultimately 1514 01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:33,280 Speaker 2: I came to DC, got involved with the EMOSA Party, 1515 01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:37,360 Speaker 2: Like it was inspirations from Jesse Jackson for us even 1516 01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:39,960 Speaker 2: to take those bold steps that we could take this 1517 01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:42,720 Speaker 2: a step further. I think one of the problems was, 1518 01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:45,280 Speaker 2: I think, and I'd love to hear some of the 1519 01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:50,360 Speaker 2: history on nineteen ninety two when there was that compromise 1520 01:22:50,479 --> 01:22:54,120 Speaker 2: where he decided not to run and then they were 1521 01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:56,959 Speaker 2: supposed to give him a shot at the vice president 1522 01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:00,160 Speaker 2: and they kind of double across them at the and 1523 01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:03,080 Speaker 2: see I think if I would love to see the 1524 01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:07,000 Speaker 2: research and those who were there, I think that started 1525 01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:11,880 Speaker 2: to decline in our trajectory of electoral politics. I think 1526 01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:16,760 Speaker 2: Jesse Jackson created such an amazing ceiling that when they 1527 01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:20,519 Speaker 2: were able to get him off track, that they did 1528 01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:25,320 Speaker 2: so many things. Even with Obama's election, it really, you know, 1529 01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:30,000 Speaker 2: the issues that Jesse was saying, he seemed to lead 1530 01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:33,639 Speaker 2: with us, even though it was rainbow push with all 1531 01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:38,080 Speaker 2: a big rainbow folks, it seemed like the agency or 1532 01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:41,599 Speaker 2: the activities that related to an agenda of black people 1533 01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:45,680 Speaker 2: was still held in high regard and how it can 1534 01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:48,759 Speaker 2: help other people. I think what we've seen more recently, 1535 01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:52,200 Speaker 2: even with the expression people of color, it kind of 1536 01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:58,760 Speaker 2: washes our unique experience as the sentence of formerly enslaved 1537 01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:02,840 Speaker 2: African people here because somehow we're all immigrants and that 1538 01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:05,559 Speaker 2: becomes very problematic and is first of all that true. 1539 01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:09,040 Speaker 2: And then I think Jesse was important even the context 1540 01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:13,280 Speaker 2: of being African when he talked about us being African Americans, 1541 01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:17,360 Speaker 2: giving us a connection to a land mass beyond the 1542 01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:21,479 Speaker 2: times bumbfines of the United States. And you know, I 1543 01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:28,040 Speaker 2: hear people oftentimes talk about his relationship early on as 1544 01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:33,040 Speaker 2: related to Malcolm X's Martin Luther King's death and whatnot. 1545 01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:36,920 Speaker 2: I think again his body of work, I say, don't 1546 01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:41,040 Speaker 2: add nothing, but don't take nothing away. I think where 1547 01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:44,040 Speaker 2: he started and where he ended up, and the work 1548 01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:48,400 Speaker 2: that was done in between is just in the context. 1549 01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:52,240 Speaker 2: You know, they say this and this is the doctor 1550 01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:56,720 Speaker 2: Tyrene Wrights. He talks about always keep history in the 1551 01:24:56,800 --> 01:25:00,920 Speaker 2: context initiated actually happens sometimes. Who want to talk about 1552 01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:04,400 Speaker 2: folks like everybody had cell phones, but he was operating 1553 01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:07,760 Speaker 2: in a very different environment, a very different understanding. He 1554 01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:12,559 Speaker 2: didn't have the benefit of hindsight. They were doing things 1555 01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:15,160 Speaker 2: in a way that didn't have a road map. And 1556 01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:18,160 Speaker 2: some of the things he might have done, if he 1557 01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:20,880 Speaker 2: was able to look back and do it, he would 1558 01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:23,240 Speaker 2: probably do it differently. And I think all of us, 1559 01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:26,639 Speaker 2: you know, when we look at our younger years, there's 1560 01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:30,160 Speaker 2: some things that we decisions, we made, things that we did. 1561 01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:33,840 Speaker 2: But if we look at what he did with one life, 1562 01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:36,599 Speaker 2: it seemed like he did about twenty of them because 1563 01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:40,720 Speaker 2: he lived a lobby. We were over in Senegal at 1564 01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:44,640 Speaker 2: the African African American Summit by Reverend Leon Sullivan and 1565 01:25:45,240 --> 01:25:47,880 Speaker 2: Jesse was there and we had like a little squabble 1566 01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:52,720 Speaker 2: a little bit. Jesse Reverend Jackson was amazing, and we 1567 01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:55,680 Speaker 2: had students from all over Africa and students from all 1568 01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:58,120 Speaker 2: of the United States were meeting and we were trying 1569 01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:02,200 Speaker 2: to create a pen African organizations and Jesse came in 1570 01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:06,840 Speaker 2: and everybody and this is again Jesse's was magnetic. I mean, 1571 01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:10,679 Speaker 2: brothers and sisters were all over the continent. Just everybody 1572 01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:14,280 Speaker 2: knew Jesse. He was like a hero. And he came 1573 01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:16,600 Speaker 2: in and we wanted him to talk about how we 1574 01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:21,519 Speaker 2: should organize. And some of this conversations oftentimes was not 1575 01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:25,080 Speaker 2: about passing the torch. It was almost like he was 1576 01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:28,120 Speaker 2: telling us that we got to take the torch, that 1577 01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:30,760 Speaker 2: folks ain't going to just give it out. I think 1578 01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:33,960 Speaker 2: that was something helpful because I think so many thought 1579 01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:37,120 Speaker 2: it was just like a natural progression and it's not 1580 01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:41,320 Speaker 2: like the things that they did. Starting off, there was 1581 01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:46,080 Speaker 2: you know, probably gatekeepers and status quo black leadership, and 1582 01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:50,559 Speaker 2: they were the ones who defied the norms and push 1583 01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:53,560 Speaker 2: things forward. And that was really a part of the 1584 01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:56,800 Speaker 2: inspiration that he gave us. I still remember when he 1585 01:26:56,880 --> 01:27:01,479 Speaker 2: came to Tuskivi, people, you know, students registering to vote 1586 01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:03,400 Speaker 2: was a hard thing in Alabama. You had to get 1587 01:27:03,400 --> 01:27:05,439 Speaker 2: a deputy registered. You had to go to the Justice 1588 01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:08,560 Speaker 2: of Peace just to be signed, just to get the 1589 01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:12,320 Speaker 2: right to sign other people up to vote. And a 1590 01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:13,920 Speaker 2: lot of people don't realize the way until like the 1591 01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:17,600 Speaker 2: Motive Voter Bill came out, like a ninety four or 1592 01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:19,760 Speaker 2: something like that, where you could actually just go to 1593 01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:22,560 Speaker 2: the DMV and things like that to sign up. So 1594 01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:25,719 Speaker 2: every state, of course, and jurisdiction had be a different 1595 01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:27,600 Speaker 2: way of doing it. But a lot of students in 1596 01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:30,360 Speaker 2: Tuskegee would be like, well, I'm from California, I'm from 1597 01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:32,960 Speaker 2: New York. And he said, home is where you slept 1598 01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:35,920 Speaker 2: last night. He said, the issues that you're going to 1599 01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:38,800 Speaker 2: face today and tomorrow are going to be based on 1600 01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:42,080 Speaker 2: the elected officials in the community that you live in 1601 01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:44,920 Speaker 2: right now. Now, when you go back home, you can 1602 01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:48,240 Speaker 2: go back and change your ballot status, but where you 1603 01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:50,920 Speaker 2: are right now is where you need to vote, so 1604 01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:55,120 Speaker 2: you can dictate the realities that you're living in right now. 1605 01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:57,880 Speaker 2: So's there, I mean, like I said things like that. 1606 01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:01,280 Speaker 2: You know, folks didn't think they were Alabama even Tuskey 1607 01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:04,080 Speaker 2: to be in a private school, but they literally, you know, 1608 01:28:04,520 --> 01:28:09,280 Speaker 2: people were registering and getting engaged, and even with the tech, 1609 01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:11,960 Speaker 2: you know, people don't really give him credit. You know, 1610 01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:14,960 Speaker 2: he did things about holding Wall Street and the big 1611 01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:20,080 Speaker 2: corporations accountable. But another very very very still racist place 1612 01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:24,599 Speaker 2: is Silicon Valley. You know, if out of like all 1613 01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:28,439 Speaker 2: the money they give out for venture capitalists get into 1614 01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:33,040 Speaker 2: the founders, it's consistently over the last like twenty years, 1615 01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:38,519 Speaker 2: like less than one percent. And I definitely pay you know, 1616 01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:42,559 Speaker 2: respects to Jesse for getting us that one percent, because 1617 01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:44,839 Speaker 2: he's one of the early people who went to Philicon 1618 01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:47,680 Speaker 2: Valley and said where the black people at, you know, 1619 01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:50,160 Speaker 2: and made it very clear like this is you know, 1620 01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:53,920 Speaker 2: this technology it was going to help mankind or see 1621 01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:56,519 Speaker 2: the human time and needs to look like human time. 1622 01:28:57,439 --> 01:29:01,160 Speaker 2: And he did a lot to whole people count who 1623 01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:04,080 Speaker 2: were scared. Many black folks in Silicon Valley are just 1624 01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:08,519 Speaker 2: afraid to lose their positions and status that they sometimes 1625 01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:12,880 Speaker 2: don't rage against the machine, and Jesse Jackson's willingness to 1626 01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:17,519 Speaker 2: do so was definitely helpful. And again I think too 1627 01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:21,720 Speaker 2: often we talked about the perfect instead of the progress, 1628 01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:26,400 Speaker 2: and they say in tech, don't let perfection be the 1629 01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:30,040 Speaker 2: things that interrupt your progress. So we may not get 1630 01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:34,439 Speaker 2: everything just right, We're gonna move forward. And Jesse was 1631 01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:39,560 Speaker 2: and I sometimes feel bad, like we say Jesse, but respectfully, 1632 01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:43,800 Speaker 2: Revan Jesse Jackson even that, you know, we would say, 1633 01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:46,920 Speaker 2: you know, President Clinton. We give all these titles to 1634 01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:50,800 Speaker 2: other people who don't respect us or try to exploit us. 1635 01:29:51,479 --> 01:29:54,599 Speaker 2: But Jesse made us feel so like even though he's 1636 01:29:54,680 --> 01:29:56,920 Speaker 2: my elder, he made us feel like we were a 1637 01:29:57,040 --> 01:29:59,320 Speaker 2: part of it, you know, and he felt like. 1638 01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:04,439 Speaker 1: You know, yeah, and he was human. He was human too, 1639 01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:07,000 Speaker 1: you know. He had his shortcomings as well, just like 1640 01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:07,800 Speaker 1: all of us do. 1641 01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:08,479 Speaker 2: Uh. 1642 01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:10,719 Speaker 1: Some people try to hold him to a higher standard. 1643 01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:13,160 Speaker 1: But what I want to ask you five away from 1644 01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:17,679 Speaker 1: the top of our the response to his transition from Washington, 1645 01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:21,120 Speaker 1: d C. The family want him to lie in state 1646 01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:24,840 Speaker 1: of the Rotunda flags at half staff. That didn't happen. 1647 01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:27,679 Speaker 1: Neither of these things happened. They did it for Charlie Kirk, 1648 01:30:28,040 --> 01:30:31,240 Speaker 1: but now it's in South Carolina, his home state, and 1649 01:30:31,280 --> 01:30:34,400 Speaker 1: the flags there at half staff. So, Mike, my question 1650 01:30:34,479 --> 01:30:37,800 Speaker 1: to you is the reaction should he disease deserve to 1651 01:30:37,880 --> 01:30:41,040 Speaker 1: be you know, all all flags, federal flags across the country. 1652 01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:43,800 Speaker 1: Your thoughts do you think they should be at half 1653 01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:45,240 Speaker 1: staff for Revan Jackson. 1654 01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:50,400 Speaker 2: I mean, I think all that every accolate, everything that 1655 01:30:51,080 --> 01:30:55,320 Speaker 2: he did, he did to make this country a better place. 1656 01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:58,679 Speaker 2: He made this world a better place, and the United 1657 01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:03,240 Speaker 2: States benefited from his engagement, resistance, and struggle. I think 1658 01:31:03,320 --> 01:31:07,200 Speaker 2: that's the part that's missing, Like patriotism is not sending 1659 01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:10,280 Speaker 2: people to go die in a war for rich people, Like, 1660 01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:13,760 Speaker 2: that's not patriotism. His You know, even when you talk 1661 01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:16,960 Speaker 2: about the Anti War, when he was standing up for 1662 01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:20,800 Speaker 2: releasing hostages, he made it very clear like there was 1663 01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:24,799 Speaker 2: a moral standard and even if there were people, powerful 1664 01:31:24,840 --> 01:31:26,519 Speaker 2: people who did not want to live up to that, 1665 01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:30,920 Speaker 2: he challenged it and he held us accountable to challenge that. 1666 01:31:31,680 --> 01:31:35,240 Speaker 2: So I remember those days with the nuclets proliferation treatise. 1667 01:31:35,439 --> 01:31:37,760 Speaker 2: This is during the Cold War. He was one of 1668 01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:39,720 Speaker 2: those voices that said that we're not going to let 1669 01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:42,800 Speaker 2: all that Cold War rhetoric get in the way of 1670 01:31:43,160 --> 01:31:45,320 Speaker 2: justice and equality, you know what I'm saying. So he 1671 01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:49,680 Speaker 2: was definitely someone that elevated the status of America in 1672 01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:52,639 Speaker 2: spite of itself two hundred and fifty years, those two 1673 01:31:52,720 --> 01:31:54,479 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty years would have just been full of 1674 01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:58,920 Speaker 2: all Epstein files. If it wasn't for people like Jesse Jackson. 1675 01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:01,880 Speaker 1: Right, we got all I thought right there, Brother Saint Claire, 1676 01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:03,080 Speaker 1: I let you finish your thought. On the other side, 1677 01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:04,519 Speaker 1: we've got to check the traffic and weather again in 1678 01:32:04,600 --> 01:32:06,680 Speaker 1: that different cities. Family, YouTube can get in on this 1679 01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:09,000 Speaker 1: discussion with Saint Clair Skinner. Just reach out to us 1680 01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:12,040 Speaker 1: a telephone number simple, it's eight hundred four five zero 1681 01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:14,800 Speaker 1: seventy eight seventy six and we'll take your calls after 1682 01:32:14,840 --> 01:32:17,400 Speaker 1: we check the traffic and weather. That's next and Grand 1683 01:32:17,479 --> 01:32:19,479 Speaker 1: Rising family, thanks for staying with us on this Monday 1684 01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:21,880 Speaker 1: morning with our guests. That he's a DC activist, it's 1685 01:32:21,880 --> 01:32:24,840 Speaker 1: a humanitarian. It's also an entrepreneur business plan and he's 1686 01:32:24,840 --> 01:32:27,000 Speaker 1: got a lot of business out there on the continent. 1687 01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:30,280 Speaker 1: And it's got a program called I Love Black People, 1688 01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:31,960 Speaker 1: and it's going to tell us about that before he leaves. 1689 01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:34,040 Speaker 1: But before we left for the break though, Mamma Teller. 1690 01:32:34,040 --> 01:32:35,839 Speaker 1: By the way, we're going to speak with doctor Ray Wimbush. 1691 01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:38,679 Speaker 1: We're talking about the legacy of Reverend Jesse Jacksons. As 1692 01:32:38,720 --> 01:32:41,839 Speaker 1: we speak, his bodies lying in state now in Columbia, 1693 01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:45,680 Speaker 1: South Carolina and brother Saint Clair. Some people, uh bring 1694 01:32:45,800 --> 01:32:48,439 Speaker 1: up the fact that his involvement, alleged involvement in the 1695 01:32:48,479 --> 01:32:51,200 Speaker 1: death of Martin King. Is that something that should be this, 1696 01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:53,559 Speaker 1: Is that something that should be tabled for another day? 1697 01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:55,800 Speaker 1: Or should that be part of his legacy? How do 1698 01:32:55,880 --> 01:32:56,280 Speaker 1: you see it? 1699 01:32:57,120 --> 01:33:02,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a part of people's conjecture about 1700 01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:06,280 Speaker 2: his legacy. But I think it's not the summation of 1701 01:33:06,360 --> 01:33:09,559 Speaker 2: his legacy. And I don't think it's enough I mean 1702 01:33:09,800 --> 01:33:14,880 Speaker 2: of his legacy to overshadow so much that gets left 1703 01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:18,080 Speaker 2: out or his impact. I think again, when he was 1704 01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:23,439 Speaker 2: alive forty years ago, fifty years ago, I think those 1705 01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:28,400 Speaker 2: conversations super relevant. I think over the time that he's 1706 01:33:28,720 --> 01:33:32,880 Speaker 2: contributed to our communities, I think the significance of that 1707 01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:37,120 Speaker 2: became much much less. And then upon his death, I 1708 01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:40,280 Speaker 2: think you probably are more likely a hater if you're 1709 01:33:40,320 --> 01:33:43,120 Speaker 2: bringing those things up than someone who's trying to get 1710 01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:47,000 Speaker 2: some type of justice. I think again, his body of work, 1711 01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:50,120 Speaker 2: don't add nothing, don't leave anything out. If you had 1712 01:33:50,120 --> 01:33:53,840 Speaker 2: an issue with Jesse Jackson, have it when he's living. 1713 01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:57,800 Speaker 2: Don't wait to don't wait to bring up things that 1714 01:33:57,960 --> 01:34:00,679 Speaker 2: I did when I was in my twenty or teens 1715 01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:04,200 Speaker 2: to somehow use that to talk about a life that 1716 01:34:04,320 --> 01:34:07,240 Speaker 2: he spent into his eighties. I just don't think that. 1717 01:34:07,360 --> 01:34:09,200 Speaker 2: I think it's misplaced, and I. 1718 01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:12,320 Speaker 1: Think that's a great that's a good way to put 1719 01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:14,320 Speaker 1: it though Sinclair, because he was a young man at 1720 01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:16,120 Speaker 1: that time. It wasn't a teacher. I think it was 1721 01:34:16,160 --> 01:34:17,920 Speaker 1: probably in his twenties or early twenties. 1722 01:34:17,960 --> 01:34:20,479 Speaker 2: You're looking at the powerful things that they were doing 1723 01:34:20,600 --> 01:34:23,120 Speaker 2: to us, like, we don't just have it. Even when 1724 01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:26,639 Speaker 2: we talk about Fred Hampton and the things that were 1725 01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:29,600 Speaker 2: done to him, he was literally like twenty in his 1726 01:34:29,760 --> 01:34:33,840 Speaker 2: early twenties, and the young people that they brought up 1727 01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:38,160 Speaker 2: that was involved in doing terrible things were sixteen years old, 1728 01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:42,320 Speaker 2: seventeen years old when the CIA and FBI, well FBI 1729 01:34:42,520 --> 01:34:45,800 Speaker 2: got involved. So what I'm saying is that context is wrong. 1730 01:34:45,960 --> 01:34:46,439 Speaker 5: Is still wrong. 1731 01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:48,840 Speaker 2: I'm not you can't change that part, but we should 1732 01:34:48,840 --> 01:34:53,000 Speaker 2: have a real contextual conversation that again, when we talk 1733 01:34:53,040 --> 01:34:56,679 Speaker 2: about drug dealers, nobody in my community had a passport 1734 01:34:56,720 --> 01:34:59,360 Speaker 2: of new customs. When you make me the villain when 1735 01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:02,280 Speaker 2: I'm really the victim, then we'll never really solve that. 1736 01:35:02,479 --> 01:35:07,120 Speaker 2: And Kwame Toure said that anytime you talked about the 1737 01:35:07,439 --> 01:35:10,200 Speaker 2: victim out of context of the oppressor, you're going to 1738 01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:13,280 Speaker 2: blame the victim. I'm not saying Jesse was a victim, 1739 01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:17,040 Speaker 2: but I know what they were doing to Jesse's and 1740 01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:20,479 Speaker 2: other young people was wrong, and there was nobody there 1741 01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:23,880 Speaker 2: to protect them. There was nobody to stand up and say, 1742 01:35:23,920 --> 01:35:27,280 Speaker 2: you get away from our young people. Well, again, I'm 1743 01:35:27,320 --> 01:35:30,280 Speaker 2: not blaming the young people that made bad decisions. I mean, 1744 01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:34,200 Speaker 2: I'm not excusing the bad decisions made by young people, 1745 01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:36,280 Speaker 2: but no one should be able to put hands on 1746 01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:38,800 Speaker 2: our people like they've been able to. So again, I 1747 01:35:38,920 --> 01:35:42,559 Speaker 2: think many of these things that have happened wrong. Again. 1748 01:35:42,680 --> 01:35:46,600 Speaker 2: We should stop doing victim blaming of young people. In 1749 01:35:46,720 --> 01:35:49,519 Speaker 2: a society where there was no cell phones, the internet, 1750 01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:53,840 Speaker 2: and powerful entities were doing anything they could to harm 1751 01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:56,600 Speaker 2: us or else, We're not going, really ever, to me, 1752 01:35:57,200 --> 01:35:59,880 Speaker 2: addressed the root of the probably the root of the problem. 1753 01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:02,360 Speaker 2: It's not gonna be young people. Young people are gonna 1754 01:36:02,360 --> 01:36:06,760 Speaker 2: be teenagers and twenty year olds forever. The issue is, 1755 01:36:06,880 --> 01:36:09,120 Speaker 2: are they're gonna be people that can get to them 1756 01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:12,080 Speaker 2: and do bad things or get them and influence them. 1757 01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:14,680 Speaker 2: In ways that are harmful, and that's the part we 1758 01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:16,680 Speaker 2: gotta be careful. And then though, what they'll do is 1759 01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:20,000 Speaker 2: make people shame. And then from there again this goes 1760 01:36:20,040 --> 01:36:24,040 Speaker 2: back to this Epstein file. They touch young people and 1761 01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:27,719 Speaker 2: do these bad things to them and forever the impacts 1762 01:36:27,760 --> 01:36:31,439 Speaker 2: of that can be lifelong. So let's be very clear 1763 01:36:31,760 --> 01:36:35,120 Speaker 2: that we are living in a settler colonial country that's 1764 01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:38,320 Speaker 2: killed many of our people. And if we're gonna start 1765 01:36:38,360 --> 01:36:41,160 Speaker 2: talking about wrongdoing and we start off with our own 1766 01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:44,439 Speaker 2: brothers and sisters, I'm just saying, just say you don't 1767 01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:47,040 Speaker 2: like them, but they actually have this conversation based on 1768 01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:50,880 Speaker 2: priorities of merit, I think it might be misguided. 1769 01:36:51,080 --> 01:36:53,880 Speaker 1: All right, ashey to that, and that's at all levels too. 1770 01:36:54,240 --> 01:36:56,760 Speaker 1: Thank you for that analysis.

But you know, 1834 01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:06,080 Speaker 2: it's amazing how we are always like dissing ourselves and 1835 01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:11,200 Speaker 2: remembering every little thing that you know, our people do, 1836 01:40:12,479 --> 01:40:17,040 Speaker 2: and we forgive white folks so easily, you know, like 1837 01:40:17,920 --> 01:40:19,719 Speaker 2: you know, I remember when I was looking at John 1838 01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:26,080 Speaker 2: Lewis's funeral a couple of years ago, and how Clinton 1839 01:40:26,680 --> 01:40:31,360 Speaker 2: was just you know, swamped by black folk even as 1840 01:40:31,479 --> 01:40:35,520 Speaker 2: he disc Kwame Toure, you know, the former stophe Carmichael, 1841 01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:39,800 Speaker 2: you know, by you know, signifying on him. But we 1842 01:40:39,960 --> 01:40:43,320 Speaker 2: still love Clinton what some people do, or we'll go 1843 01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:47,600 Speaker 2: to a Liam Neesen movie when he said he was 1844 01:40:47,720 --> 01:40:50,960 Speaker 2: going to kill a black person and of all, you know, 1845 01:40:51,360 --> 01:40:54,679 Speaker 2: of course, we can't forget the black supporters of Trump, 1846 01:40:54,880 --> 01:40:59,879 Speaker 2: even though he still says that the exonerated five, formerly 1847 01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:06,800 Speaker 2: the Central Park five, were guilty of something they didn't do. 1848 01:41:07,320 --> 01:41:10,840 Speaker 2: So and so we we forgive white folks about everything, 1849 01:41:11,760 --> 01:41:11,960 Speaker 2: you know. 1850 01:41:12,240 --> 01:41:14,160 Speaker 1: But well, let me jump in and ask you this question, though, 1851 01:41:14,960 --> 01:41:17,519 Speaker 1: Is that a psychological problem is that emotional problem, is 1852 01:41:17,600 --> 01:41:18,240 Speaker 1: that illness. 1853 01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:24,400 Speaker 2: It shows the success of white supremacy teaching us to 1854 01:41:24,520 --> 01:41:28,799 Speaker 2: be self hating or you know, as you know, Jerome 1855 01:41:28,880 --> 01:41:32,640 Speaker 2: Fox says about being addicted to white You know that 1856 01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:36,320 Speaker 2: we just love our masters and will even though they 1857 01:41:36,479 --> 01:41:40,320 Speaker 2: do us wrong. We still forgive them. But if one 1858 01:41:40,400 --> 01:41:43,439 Speaker 2: of us messes up, you know, we said we're gonna 1859 01:41:43,439 --> 01:41:46,280 Speaker 2: bring it forever. So you know, yeah, I hear black 1860 01:41:46,320 --> 01:41:48,320 Speaker 2: folk a lot of times saying, when I went to 1861 01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:51,280 Speaker 2: that black business and they treated me bad, I ain't 1862 01:41:51,320 --> 01:41:55,400 Speaker 2: never shopping again. But they'll go to Walmart and Target 1863 01:41:56,320 --> 01:41:59,080 Speaker 2: and shop, you know, till they drop, as they say. So, 1864 01:41:59,200 --> 01:42:03,080 Speaker 2: I think part of it is the psychological programming of saying, 1865 01:42:03,920 --> 01:42:06,800 Speaker 2: if you're black, you must hate yourself. And that's been 1866 01:42:07,320 --> 01:42:13,000 Speaker 2: subtly and more overtly, you know, just inserted in our 1867 01:42:13,200 --> 01:42:15,720 Speaker 2: history from you know, the time immemorial. 1868 01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:19,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, but doctor, people who think that way, they don't 1869 01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:22,240 Speaker 1: know that it's self hate. They they think they're getting 1870 01:42:22,280 --> 01:42:26,000 Speaker 1: a better deal. They really subconsciously feel that the white 1871 01:42:26,040 --> 01:42:28,920 Speaker 1: man's eyes is colding his sugar sweeter in his water. Weather. 1872 01:42:29,439 --> 01:42:31,679 Speaker 1: Is there any way we can convince them otherwise? 1873 01:42:32,760 --> 01:42:36,000 Speaker 2: What should we I think we gotta Maybe that's why 1874 01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:39,400 Speaker 2: I chose the professional as an educator, you know, you know, 1875 01:42:40,560 --> 01:42:43,120 Speaker 2: I think we gotta educate. We gotta keep saying it. 1876 01:42:43,720 --> 01:42:46,479 Speaker 2: We got to repeat it and try to you know, 1877 01:42:46,720 --> 01:42:50,840 Speaker 2: liberate people's minds, you know, like Malcolm said the the 1878 01:42:51,200 --> 01:42:55,080 Speaker 2: he said, the trouble with the movement is that we 1879 01:42:55,240 --> 01:43:00,559 Speaker 2: have tried to organize a sleeping people. And I don't 1880 01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:04,679 Speaker 2: mean that to diss us, but I think minnesofar Con 1881 01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:09,040 Speaker 2: does that consistently. You know, I think that we have 1882 01:43:09,280 --> 01:43:12,920 Speaker 2: to wake our people up with more knowledge. You know, 1883 01:43:13,040 --> 01:43:16,200 Speaker 2: I'm again just amazed at some of the things that 1884 01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:19,880 Speaker 2: we don't know that we should know. I mean, white 1885 01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:23,880 Speaker 2: folks call it a cultural knowledge, you know, the everyday 1886 01:43:24,080 --> 01:43:28,000 Speaker 2: knowledge that So if I say seventeen seventy six, people say, oh, 1887 01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:34,559 Speaker 2: Declaration of Independence. You know, if I say November twenty second, 1888 01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:38,880 Speaker 2: nineteen sixty three, people say, oh, that's when Kennedy was assassinated. 1889 01:43:39,240 --> 01:43:43,240 Speaker 2: But if I say like eighteen thirty one, you know, 1890 01:43:43,400 --> 01:43:45,679 Speaker 2: people kind of look at me. And I'm not even 1891 01:43:45,720 --> 01:43:48,600 Speaker 2: going to tell people with eighteen thirty one how it's significant. 1892 01:43:48,760 --> 01:43:51,400 Speaker 2: Look it up. But I think we got to continually 1893 01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:56,519 Speaker 2: educate people about our history, about what's going on. And 1894 01:43:56,720 --> 01:44:01,800 Speaker 2: like again, Ancestor Neely full As said, if you do 1895 01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:05,519 Speaker 2: not understand racism and white supremacy, what it is and 1896 01:44:05,680 --> 01:44:11,080 Speaker 2: how it works, you will be confused about everything, not 1897 01:44:11,400 --> 01:44:15,200 Speaker 2: something everything, And I think that many of us are 1898 01:44:15,360 --> 01:44:16,280 Speaker 2: just confused. 1899 01:44:17,640 --> 01:44:19,760 Speaker 1: Right thirteen out of the top, they have family.

He was extremely well read, always with 2005 01:50:28,320 --> 01:50:32,680 Speaker 2: a book, and so I remember that side of him 2006 01:50:33,360 --> 01:50:36,920 Speaker 2: a lot, you know, the part that was always learning, 2007 01:50:37,800 --> 01:50:41,080 Speaker 2: you know, and the mistakes that he made. I mean, 2008 01:50:41,120 --> 01:50:44,840 Speaker 2: I wish any of us would, you know, cite any 2009 01:50:44,960 --> 01:50:47,679 Speaker 2: of the mistakes that we made when we were twenty 2010 01:50:48,560 --> 01:50:51,160 Speaker 2: twenty five years old, because all of us have that. 2011 01:50:51,520 --> 01:50:55,160 Speaker 2: And again, black folk gotta get over some of that stuff. 2012 01:50:55,920 --> 01:50:57,320 Speaker 1: Right twenty three at that topic. 2013 01:50:57,520 --> 01:50:57,680 Speaker 2: You know. 2014 01:50:57,760 --> 01:51:00,880 Speaker 1: One of the things he did for us too, doctor 2015 01:51:00,880 --> 01:51:04,280 Speaker 1: Wimbers when he ran for the presidency the first trip around, 2016 01:51:04,320 --> 01:51:07,160 Speaker 1: because you know, before then it was like, could we 2017 01:51:07,280 --> 01:51:10,000 Speaker 1: really become president of the United States before Barack Obama? 2018 01:51:10,600 --> 01:51:13,559 Speaker 1: And he, I guess the first sort of credible campaign, 2019 01:51:13,600 --> 01:51:16,160 Speaker 1: because we know Charlott Cheersham did once and I think 2020 01:51:16,240 --> 01:51:18,760 Speaker 1: the Greg reflirted with doing it at one time. But 2021 01:51:18,960 --> 01:51:22,559 Speaker 1: he ran a credible campaign. And what was interesting about 2022 01:51:22,600 --> 01:51:25,320 Speaker 1: the campaign, as you may recall, that he was trying 2023 01:51:25,360 --> 01:51:28,960 Speaker 1: to get federal help security and if they denied him 2024 01:51:29,000 --> 01:51:31,960 Speaker 1: that all the tricks the Democratic Party played with him, 2025 01:51:32,240 --> 01:51:35,360 Speaker 1: mister Farghon stepped up and said, anywhere you go the FOI, 2026 01:51:35,600 --> 01:51:38,439 Speaker 1: any city there will be there to support you. But 2027 01:51:38,560 --> 01:51:41,120 Speaker 1: what he made people, it made the Democratic Party wake 2028 01:51:41,200 --> 01:51:43,040 Speaker 1: up and know that there's a lot of black people 2029 01:51:43,120 --> 01:51:45,080 Speaker 1: out here. They try to figure out way how to 2030 01:51:45,120 --> 01:51:47,640 Speaker 1: get out votes without using Jesse. Can you address that? 2031 01:51:49,640 --> 01:51:50,759 Speaker 6: You're rightly correct. 2032 01:51:50,800 --> 01:51:54,639 Speaker 2: I mean there's a straight line between Shirley Chisholm's run 2033 01:51:54,760 --> 01:51:58,800 Speaker 2: for president did great, Greg we talking about it and 2034 01:51:58,960 --> 01:52:03,680 Speaker 2: doing something get also Angela Davis ran and Jesse and 2035 01:52:03,800 --> 01:52:07,400 Speaker 2: then you know, of course Barack Obama. There's a straight line. 2036 01:52:08,120 --> 01:52:12,120 Speaker 2: But Jesse had the first really credible campaign and when 2037 01:52:12,160 --> 01:52:16,400 Speaker 2: he was going to Iowa talking to farmers in the 2038 01:52:16,560 --> 01:52:20,080 Speaker 2: field and you know, and people say, man, he's really 2039 01:52:20,280 --> 01:52:23,240 Speaker 2: serious about that and the Democratic Party. 2040 01:52:23,280 --> 01:52:25,360 Speaker 7: And I'm not going to say, you know, six to. 2041 01:52:25,439 --> 01:52:27,720 Speaker 2: One and a half dozen of the other between them 2042 01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:31,200 Speaker 2: and the Republican Party, but what I will say is 2043 01:52:31,280 --> 01:52:35,400 Speaker 2: that it woke up the Democratic Party as you say 2044 01:52:36,040 --> 01:52:40,080 Speaker 2: that we give them our votes consistently, and Jesse said, look, 2045 01:52:40,479 --> 01:52:43,720 Speaker 2: not only are we going to give you know you 2046 01:52:44,200 --> 01:52:46,320 Speaker 2: give you our vote, but you're going to give some 2047 01:52:46,479 --> 01:52:48,720 Speaker 2: of those votes to a black candidate. And he was 2048 01:52:48,800 --> 01:52:52,120 Speaker 2: a viable black candidate. I voted for him in the primaries. 2049 01:52:52,600 --> 01:52:55,880 Speaker 2: And that speech that he made to those both of 2050 01:52:55,920 --> 01:53:00,240 Speaker 2: those conventions, just you know, they're historic, and everybody listen 2051 01:53:00,320 --> 01:53:00,680 Speaker 2: to him. 2052 01:53:01,640 --> 01:53:05,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember the first campaign right because that was 2053 01:53:05,800 --> 01:53:10,439 Speaker 1: coming down the tales of Heimitown when he misspoken and 2054 01:53:10,560 --> 01:53:13,200 Speaker 1: the Washington Post reporter out of him. You remember that 2055 01:53:13,560 --> 01:53:16,080 Speaker 1: that story, man, do I remember it? 2056 01:53:16,200 --> 01:53:20,519 Speaker 2: And the thing about it, when the Honeytown remark came out. 2057 01:53:21,240 --> 01:53:22,679 Speaker 6: This was a black reporter. 2058 01:53:22,920 --> 01:53:27,800 Speaker 2: That thing had happened three weeks before. But see, this 2059 01:53:28,040 --> 01:53:32,519 Speaker 2: is how they use us to hurt us, you know, 2060 01:53:32,680 --> 01:53:35,840 Speaker 2: because he didn't have to say that he was working 2061 01:53:35,920 --> 01:53:38,599 Speaker 2: with news Week or not Washington Post. 2062 01:53:38,479 --> 01:53:39,160 Speaker 1: Washington Post. 2063 01:53:39,880 --> 01:53:43,519 Speaker 6: I forget the brother's name, and his name is forgettable, Coleman. 2064 01:53:43,600 --> 01:53:48,920 Speaker 2: I think his last name was, yeah, whatever his name was. 2065 01:53:49,080 --> 01:53:53,360 Speaker 2: But I mean he used hurt Jesse with that, and 2066 01:53:54,320 --> 01:53:58,559 Speaker 2: and you know, the Jewish vote, you know, abandoned him, 2067 01:53:58,880 --> 01:54:01,560 Speaker 2: and not that they wanted to support him in the 2068 01:54:01,640 --> 01:54:06,280 Speaker 2: first place, you know, but you know Jesse weather through that. 2069 01:54:06,600 --> 01:54:10,680 Speaker 2: But see even now you hear people you know, mentioning well, 2070 01:54:10,760 --> 01:54:12,960 Speaker 2: I remember when he said heimi Town. 2071 01:54:13,520 --> 01:54:14,920 Speaker 6: You know, I remember the. 2072 01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:20,640 Speaker 2: Conspiracies around doctor King's assassination.

The answer 2114 01:56:42,280 --> 01:56:45,120 Speaker 2: to the second question for me is why don't we 2115 01:56:45,400 --> 01:56:49,680 Speaker 2: have and I mean, we definitely need local leadership. I 2116 01:56:49,760 --> 01:56:55,120 Speaker 2: always tell people you know, organize, activate in your own community, 2117 01:56:55,280 --> 01:56:59,440 Speaker 2: do what you can do locally. But we also need 2118 01:56:59,600 --> 01:57:03,280 Speaker 2: national leaders and I think we have a few from 2119 01:57:03,320 --> 01:57:07,080 Speaker 2: the civil rights generation now, you know, Andy Young is 2120 01:57:07,400 --> 01:57:10,960 Speaker 2: up in age and so forth, but that national leadership 2121 01:57:11,440 --> 01:57:14,200 Speaker 2: is lacking right now. And I don't want to mention 2122 01:57:14,360 --> 01:57:18,360 Speaker 2: any names, but I think it's lacking right now. I think, uh, 2123 01:57:19,040 --> 01:57:25,480 Speaker 2: it was you know, something that Jagar Hoover always bemoaned 2124 01:57:25,640 --> 01:57:30,360 Speaker 2: the fact that there were several civil rights organizations involved. 2125 01:57:30,520 --> 01:57:34,960 Speaker 2: You know, we had SNICK, we had s SCLC, Republican 2126 01:57:35,040 --> 01:57:40,440 Speaker 2: New Africa Urban League, you know, NAACP, and other more 2127 01:57:40,560 --> 01:57:44,160 Speaker 2: radical organizations like the Black Panther Party and the Black 2128 01:57:44,240 --> 01:57:49,120 Speaker 2: Liberation Army. But now it seems like everything is Black 2129 01:57:49,240 --> 01:57:49,960 Speaker 2: Lives Matter. 2130 01:57:50,960 --> 01:57:52,600 Speaker 7: And I'm not trying to dis that. 2131 01:57:53,000 --> 01:57:58,800 Speaker 2: Organization, but we need more more because Hoover said that 2132 01:57:59,800 --> 01:58:04,120 Speaker 2: if we had just one, it would be easier to 2133 01:58:04,280 --> 01:58:09,120 Speaker 2: control them and not let a black messiah rise. They 2134 01:58:09,160 --> 01:58:13,080 Speaker 2: didn't want Jesse's push. You know, it was too many 2135 01:58:13,280 --> 01:58:17,880 Speaker 2: organizations for the system of white supremacy to handle, and 2136 01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:20,880 Speaker 2: they just you know, and I'm wondering whether or not 2137 01:58:21,080 --> 01:58:23,440 Speaker 2: right now, that's where you know. 2138 01:58:23,880 --> 01:58:26,720 Speaker 6: The Hoover achieved his goal. 2139 01:58:28,080 --> 01:58:29,920 Speaker 1: Twenty nine away from the top of that doctor when 2140 01:58:29,920 --> 01:58:32,560 Speaker 1: he wisold. Had Jesse been alive right now and able, 2141 01:58:32,640 --> 01:58:35,520 Speaker 1: you know, he'd be speaking about the attack on Iran 2142 01:58:36,600 --> 01:58:41,400 Speaker 1: and yeah, just you know, thoughs what positions you think 2143 01:58:41,440 --> 01:58:45,200 Speaker 1: he would take and where would he attack the Donald 2144 01:58:45,240 --> 01:58:46,760 Speaker 1: Trump for attacking Iran? 2145 01:58:47,920 --> 01:58:52,080 Speaker 2: Well, he know he would speak out against the war itself. 2146 01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:56,440 Speaker 2: But I think that he would have been a worthy 2147 01:58:56,560 --> 01:58:59,960 Speaker 2: opponent to deal with Donald Trump on a national level. 2148 01:59:01,720 --> 01:59:05,960 Speaker 2: You know, this idiot in the White House is father. 2149 01:59:06,720 --> 01:59:08,960 Speaker 2: You can tell when he's talking about a black person 2150 01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:14,440 Speaker 2: because he always says it's racist trope about low IQ individuals. 2151 01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:22,000 Speaker 2: You know, he called with the sister in Minnesota that 2152 01:59:22,760 --> 01:59:25,880 Speaker 2: last week when she demonstrated against him at his so 2153 01:59:26,120 --> 01:59:30,720 Speaker 2: called State of the Unit address. I think Jesse would 2154 01:59:30,960 --> 01:59:34,320 Speaker 2: probably have been involved with trying to mediate some of 2155 01:59:34,440 --> 01:59:38,680 Speaker 2: this stuff. But even now we're learning that while they 2156 01:59:38,760 --> 01:59:45,200 Speaker 2: would the United States and supposedly indirectly Israel with negotiating 2157 01:59:46,000 --> 01:59:50,120 Speaker 2: with the Iranians and stuff like that, that they were 2158 01:59:50,200 --> 01:59:53,760 Speaker 2: planning an attack on them. I mean, you can't trust Europeans. 2159 01:59:53,840 --> 01:59:56,280 Speaker 2: I know that, you know, it's just you can't trust 2160 01:59:56,360 --> 02:00:01,040 Speaker 2: them and keep in mind to Obama's that is, he 2161 02:00:01,200 --> 02:00:08,400 Speaker 2: had already negotiated an incredibly airtight deal with Iran not 2162 02:00:08,600 --> 02:00:13,600 Speaker 2: to build nuclear weapons. And the issue is that is 2163 02:00:13,680 --> 02:00:17,720 Speaker 2: it real or Israel in the Middle East wants to 2164 02:00:17,800 --> 02:00:23,480 Speaker 2: be the sole power and stable quote stable government. They 2165 02:00:23,560 --> 02:00:28,839 Speaker 2: have been itching to attack Iran for years because Iran 2166 02:00:29,080 --> 02:00:37,560 Speaker 2: is an advanced country. I mean, They've ruined Syria all 2167 02:00:37,720 --> 02:00:40,800 Speaker 2: types of places. It's like Israel wants to be the 2168 02:00:40,960 --> 02:00:44,040 Speaker 2: dominant force there and Iran was the last one that 2169 02:00:44,160 --> 02:00:46,840 Speaker 2: they had to deal with. I think Jesse would talk 2170 02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:51,920 Speaker 2: about that, and Jesse would comment on that, and you know, 2171 02:00:52,040 --> 02:00:55,120 Speaker 2: we have some people now talking black folks I'm talking 2172 02:00:55,120 --> 02:00:59,760 Speaker 2: about as national leaders. But Jesse's voice was, you know, 2173 02:01:00,200 --> 02:01:02,800 Speaker 2: as far as I'm deserved, was louder than any of them, 2174 02:01:03,600 --> 02:01:06,440 Speaker 2: uh today, just louder. 2175 02:01:06,880 --> 02:01:09,680 Speaker 1: Right twenty six away from the top, doctor Wembush. And 2176 02:01:09,920 --> 02:01:12,960 Speaker 1: also on Iran, you know, one of the things, ironically, 2177 02:01:13,040 --> 02:01:16,120 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump said before he was in office, he says, 2178 02:01:16,160 --> 02:01:18,680 Speaker 1: in order to get elected, he says that Barack Obama 2179 02:01:18,720 --> 02:01:20,960 Speaker 1: would start a war with Iran. He also says, when 2180 02:01:21,040 --> 02:01:23,640 Speaker 1: he got elected, he says he'll use the attack Iran 2181 02:01:23,760 --> 02:01:27,120 Speaker 1: to get re elected, and he predicted some point he's 2182 02:01:27,160 --> 02:01:30,200 Speaker 1: gonna attack Iran to save face. And somebody sent me 2183 02:01:30,240 --> 02:01:32,640 Speaker 1: all of these that's I didn't know them from memory family, 2184 02:01:32,880 --> 02:01:35,360 Speaker 1: and he says, remember that, He says, remember I predicted 2185 02:01:35,400 --> 02:01:38,000 Speaker 1: a long time ago that President Obama will attacked Iran 2186 02:01:38,080 --> 02:01:41,760 Speaker 1: because of his inability to negotiate a property properly and 2187 02:01:41,880 --> 02:01:45,440 Speaker 1: not skilled. And you were saying that that. The President 2188 02:01:45,640 --> 02:01:50,720 Speaker 1: Obama actually negotiated a peace with Iran over and he 2189 02:01:50,920 --> 02:01:54,040 Speaker 1: and then Donald Trump ignoredy can he address. 2190 02:01:53,760 --> 02:01:57,640 Speaker 7: That for not only did he ignored, he tore it up. 2191 02:01:57,960 --> 02:02:01,320 Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, God doesn't want to build 2192 02:02:01,840 --> 02:02:05,120 Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon. And they have the right to enrich 2193 02:02:05,520 --> 02:02:09,680 Speaker 2: uranium for their people. I mean, we do it, the 2194 02:02:10,000 --> 02:02:14,160 Speaker 2: Europeans do it. Why are they the only ones allowed, 2195 02:02:14,320 --> 02:02:19,280 Speaker 2: if you please, to enrich uranium to have power stations 2196 02:02:19,400 --> 02:02:24,120 Speaker 2: and you know, heat and you know air conditioning, you know, 2197 02:02:24,280 --> 02:02:27,560 Speaker 2: for people. So you know, I mean it's like this 2198 02:02:28,400 --> 02:02:34,360 Speaker 2: arrogance of Europeans in general towards people of color. And 2199 02:02:35,520 --> 02:02:40,480 Speaker 2: you know how Baraque got the deal done to his credit, 2200 02:02:41,080 --> 02:02:44,000 Speaker 2: and how Trump you know, I mean, he's got a 2201 02:02:44,200 --> 02:02:47,920 Speaker 2: worm in his head or a virus in his head 2202 02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:51,200 Speaker 2: that's called Obama, and he just everything is about just 2203 02:02:51,400 --> 02:02:55,959 Speaker 2: trying to discredit not only Biden, but trying to discredit 2204 02:02:56,040 --> 02:02:59,320 Speaker 2: Obama about anything that he did. You know, that's why 2205 02:02:59,400 --> 02:03:04,240 Speaker 2: he's been going after the Affordable Care Act and other things. 2206 02:03:04,360 --> 02:03:08,680 Speaker 7: So, I mean, and then you know, Trump is an idiot. 2207 02:03:09,040 --> 02:03:13,840 Speaker 2: He's an absolute idiot. He actually said last night, I 2208 02:03:14,000 --> 02:03:17,960 Speaker 2: got him before he got me. I mean, that's so 2209 02:03:18,280 --> 02:03:21,640 Speaker 2: unbecoming and juvenile. It's something like you say on the 2210 02:03:22,320 --> 02:03:24,920 Speaker 2: on the playground when you're fifteen years old. 2211 02:03:25,280 --> 02:03:26,960 Speaker 6: So he's an absolute idiot. 2212 02:03:27,280 --> 02:03:32,880 Speaker 2: He is an intelligent and he's not intelligent enough to deal. 2213 02:03:33,320 --> 02:03:35,800 Speaker 2: You know, you're talking about objectives for the war. 2214 02:03:35,880 --> 02:03:36,560 Speaker 5: What are they? 2215 02:03:37,080 --> 02:03:39,000 Speaker 6: What's the end game of the war. 2216 02:03:39,680 --> 02:03:44,000 Speaker 2: And you know, apparently Maga is just furious about him 2217 02:03:44,080 --> 02:03:47,120 Speaker 2: because as Obama had predicted he was going to start 2218 02:03:47,160 --> 02:03:51,480 Speaker 2: a war anyway with him Ron and Maga's furious about 2219 02:03:51,600 --> 02:03:55,400 Speaker 2: him simply because of the fact that he has started 2220 02:03:55,440 --> 02:03:57,600 Speaker 2: a war, promised that he was going to stop all 2221 02:03:57,720 --> 02:03:58,040 Speaker 2: of them. 2222 02:03:59,160 --> 02:04:01,760 Speaker 1: Right there, We've got to step aside for a few 2223 02:04:01,800 --> 02:04:04,000 Speaker 1: moments and then I'll let you continue on that because 2224 02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:07,360 Speaker 1: we've got to discuss how the impact of the war 2225 02:04:07,440 --> 02:04:11,640 Speaker 1: in Iran. As doctor Wimbush mentioned that there's no endgame. 2226 02:04:12,080 --> 02:04:14,080 Speaker 1: We don't know when it's going to end. Obviously, Donald 2227 02:04:14,120 --> 02:04:15,880 Speaker 1: Trump thinks is going to be a few days, but 2228 02:04:15,880 --> 02:04:17,560 Speaker 1: it looks like it's going to last longer because you 2229 02:04:17,600 --> 02:04:19,480 Speaker 1: Rani and says they're not they don't want to talk, 2230 02:04:19,800 --> 02:04:22,760 Speaker 1: they want to react, and of course they were attacked first. 2231 02:04:23,000 --> 02:04:24,840 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts?

China, 2280 02:06:53,440 --> 02:06:56,960 Speaker 2: as you mentioned, are sending missiles to replenish the supply 2281 02:06:57,160 --> 02:07:04,200 Speaker 2: that Iron always already had. Europe has been unusually quiet 2282 02:07:04,360 --> 02:07:10,839 Speaker 2: because they know that their relationship with Trump is tentative 2283 02:07:10,960 --> 02:07:15,240 Speaker 2: at best. Because of this, you know, the NATO alliance 2284 02:07:15,320 --> 02:07:22,360 Speaker 2: that he's been trying to destroy Russia has been eerily silent, 2285 02:07:22,680 --> 02:07:25,520 Speaker 2: although I think tacitly they support. 2286 02:07:26,040 --> 02:07:28,680 Speaker 6: Iran in this conflict. 2287 02:07:29,480 --> 02:07:31,080 Speaker 5: And again, we have a. 2288 02:07:31,160 --> 02:07:35,680 Speaker 2: President and I don't want to, you know, call it 2289 02:07:35,800 --> 02:07:40,400 Speaker 2: an administration. We have a regime that really doesn't know 2290 02:07:40,680 --> 02:07:46,000 Speaker 2: what it's doing and a president that heads that he 2291 02:07:46,680 --> 02:07:51,480 Speaker 2: has not outlined the objectives. He keeps using the term 2292 02:07:51,960 --> 02:07:54,960 Speaker 2: as if. And but I mean once the endgame. You 2293 02:07:55,240 --> 02:07:57,920 Speaker 2: always have to talk about the end game when you're 2294 02:07:57,960 --> 02:08:02,600 Speaker 2: talking about war. And right now, uh, you mentioned the 2295 02:08:02,680 --> 02:08:05,800 Speaker 2: stock market. I expect the stock market today is going 2296 02:08:05,840 --> 02:08:08,440 Speaker 2: to drop at least five hundred points, and that might 2297 02:08:08,520 --> 02:08:14,600 Speaker 2: be conservative. Oil is the lifeblood of the European nations 2298 02:08:15,040 --> 02:08:19,200 Speaker 2: around the world, as well as China and u And 2299 02:08:19,360 --> 02:08:22,040 Speaker 2: sometimes I think that we got to connect the dots 2300 02:08:22,120 --> 02:08:27,640 Speaker 2: between his invasion and theft of Venezuelan oil, knowing that 2301 02:08:27,800 --> 02:08:30,560 Speaker 2: he was going to be attacking Iround in a few weeks. 2302 02:08:31,960 --> 02:08:33,800 Speaker 1: So did you think it's all about oil? Or is 2303 02:08:33,840 --> 02:08:37,360 Speaker 1: it about Epstein, or is about the elections or anyone? 2304 02:08:37,760 --> 02:08:38,440 Speaker 1: How do you see this? 2305 02:08:39,280 --> 02:08:39,760 Speaker 2: All of them? 2306 02:08:40,560 --> 02:08:43,240 Speaker 6: The above I think it's all of the above. 2307 02:08:43,840 --> 02:08:47,280 Speaker 2: H You know, I wake up every Saturday morning now, 2308 02:08:48,440 --> 02:08:50,960 Speaker 2: you know, if you know everything happens on Friday night 2309 02:08:51,080 --> 02:08:56,400 Speaker 2: with this idiot and what happens, you know, the Epstein 2310 02:08:56,480 --> 02:08:59,840 Speaker 2: files are going to you know, expose him as a 2311 02:09:00,080 --> 02:09:05,800 Speaker 2: head a file, possibly an accomplished to murder and definitely 2312 02:09:05,960 --> 02:09:11,080 Speaker 2: a child abuser, if you know, by those fifty pages 2313 02:09:11,240 --> 02:09:14,600 Speaker 2: that we heard about last week where he and I 2314 02:09:14,640 --> 02:09:16,720 Speaker 2: don't want to say his on radio, but he had 2315 02:09:16,760 --> 02:09:21,040 Speaker 2: a sex act with a twelve or thirteen year old girl, 2316 02:09:22,360 --> 02:09:26,360 Speaker 2: not woman girl and then hit her and beat her, 2317 02:09:27,000 --> 02:09:30,680 Speaker 2: and so we'restening. I think he will start a war 2318 02:09:30,960 --> 02:09:34,440 Speaker 2: before he allows those files to be open. And I 2319 02:09:34,560 --> 02:09:37,360 Speaker 2: think this coming election, and I've said it and a 2320 02:09:37,480 --> 02:09:38,880 Speaker 2: lot of people are saying that the. 2321 02:09:39,280 --> 02:09:42,280 Speaker 6: Purpose of ICE is not only to. 2322 02:09:44,160 --> 02:09:49,560 Speaker 2: You know, expel you know, undocumented people from the United States, 2323 02:09:49,640 --> 02:09:52,440 Speaker 2: but it's also to set up his own private army 2324 02:09:52,840 --> 02:09:56,400 Speaker 2: in case. And I think he will declare martial law 2325 02:09:56,520 --> 02:10:02,640 Speaker 2: and try to delegitimize the two two twenty sixth election. 2326 02:10:04,800 --> 02:10:06,640 Speaker 1: It's thirty and away from the tower. You know, you 2327 02:10:06,760 --> 02:10:10,720 Speaker 1: mentioned the Friday the news was dumped on a Friday, 2328 02:10:10,720 --> 02:10:12,280 Speaker 1: and those are people who listened to us, who listen 2329 02:10:12,320 --> 02:10:15,640 Speaker 1: to the Open Phone Friday program, not this past Friday. 2330 02:10:15,640 --> 02:10:18,880 Speaker 1: The friday before, Mark from Anaheim called in and he 2331 02:10:19,000 --> 02:10:22,440 Speaker 1: mentioned the fact that this was going to happen, and 2332 02:10:22,560 --> 02:10:24,520 Speaker 1: he also mentioned it was going to happen on this Friday. 2333 02:10:24,520 --> 02:10:27,240 Speaker 1: He says, not this Friday, that particular Friday, but the 2334 02:10:27,320 --> 02:10:30,480 Speaker 1: following Friday that he thought something was going to jump off, 2335 02:10:30,880 --> 02:10:34,640 Speaker 1: and it did. So those of you who remember who 2336 02:10:34,720 --> 02:10:37,320 Speaker 1: listened to that program, can you know, go back if 2337 02:10:37,320 --> 02:10:39,520 Speaker 1: you still have the tape on it. That was the 2338 02:10:39,600 --> 02:10:41,760 Speaker 1: Friday and not this past Friday, the friday before that 2339 02:10:42,280 --> 02:10:44,480 Speaker 1: when he called in and mentioned that and it turned 2340 02:10:44,480 --> 02:10:46,720 Speaker 1: out to be true. So those are That's why when 2341 02:10:46,760 --> 02:10:48,560 Speaker 1: I was doing the promotion for it, I was saying 2342 02:10:48,600 --> 02:10:50,920 Speaker 1: that we're going to talk about this, and I did 2343 02:10:50,960 --> 02:10:55,120 Speaker 1: not know that Donald Trump was going to invade Iran 2344 02:10:55,440 --> 02:10:58,200 Speaker 1: on the next day. But I just recalled what Mark 2345 02:10:58,240 --> 02:11:00,280 Speaker 1: Ford told me, and he has never said anything that 2346 02:11:00,360 --> 02:11:03,280 Speaker 1: that's been wrong, and it did happen. So those of 2347 02:11:03,320 --> 02:11:04,880 Speaker 1: you who've been listening knew that this was going to 2348 02:11:04,920 --> 02:11:06,360 Speaker 1: take place. I just want to share that with you. 2349 02:11:06,840 --> 02:11:10,240 Speaker 1: Eight hundred and four or five zero go ahead, don no. 2350 02:11:10,600 --> 02:11:14,960 Speaker 2: I'm you know, black folks. We're prophetic people, right. I 2351 02:11:15,120 --> 02:11:18,600 Speaker 2: attended a conferences past week in Philly, and we're a 2352 02:11:18,720 --> 02:11:23,280 Speaker 2: prophetic people. We have predicted. Jesse was prophetic. The brother 2353 02:11:23,440 --> 02:11:27,480 Speaker 2: you just mentioned was prophetic. I mean all of us 2354 02:11:27,840 --> 02:11:31,400 Speaker 2: black folks. You remember, right when Trump got elected, they 2355 02:11:31,520 --> 02:11:33,920 Speaker 2: had this little meme of these black women sitting on 2356 02:11:34,000 --> 02:11:38,000 Speaker 2: the roof and watching America burn down. You know, I 2357 02:11:38,120 --> 02:11:41,600 Speaker 2: had issues with COMMLO, but she was profetic about what 2358 02:11:41,880 --> 02:11:44,760 Speaker 2: Trump was going to do. And he's done that and more. 2359 02:11:45,320 --> 02:11:48,280 Speaker 2: And I think that, you know, like Alice Walker says 2360 02:11:48,400 --> 02:11:53,320 Speaker 2: that she wishes that white people, with white men specifically, 2361 02:11:53,440 --> 02:11:57,920 Speaker 2: would just keep quiet for one hundred years and listen 2362 02:11:58,040 --> 02:12:00,280 Speaker 2: to black folk and they would learn. 2363 02:12:00,400 --> 02:12:03,640 Speaker 1: So, you know, well, let me add this. Dick Gregor 2364 02:12:03,800 --> 02:12:05,760 Speaker 1: used to call Mark from NA I'm an early warning 2365 02:12:05,880 --> 02:12:09,160 Speaker 1: system when they were both on the radio. He said, hey, man, 2366 02:12:09,320 --> 02:12:12,280 Speaker 1: keep that brother close. He's an early warning is a 2367 02:12:12,520 --> 02:12:15,640 Speaker 1: human early warning system. One of the things Mark talked 2368 02:12:15,640 --> 02:12:17,880 Speaker 1: about that Friday when he called in was he says, 2369 02:12:17,960 --> 02:12:20,040 Speaker 1: if people want to know a better idea what's happening, 2370 02:12:20,120 --> 02:12:24,080 Speaker 1: he says, he recommend a research, full spectrum Dominance and 2371 02:12:24,280 --> 02:12:28,480 Speaker 1: the Project of the New American Century p NAC Seven 2372 02:12:28,640 --> 02:12:31,280 Speaker 1: Nations Plan. And this is when before he see it, 2373 02:12:31,320 --> 02:12:32,800 Speaker 1: and he says, he said, if something's going to happen, 2374 02:12:32,800 --> 02:12:35,760 Speaker 1: he iron it will happen on Saturday. And he added, no, 2375 02:12:36,200 --> 02:12:39,080 Speaker 1: now I do not mean tomorrow, but rather next Saturday. 2376 02:12:39,240 --> 02:12:41,760 Speaker 1: And next Saturday it happened. So those of you who listen, 2377 02:12:42,080 --> 02:12:45,240 Speaker 1: go back and listen to tape. And as doctor Winbush said, 2378 02:12:45,400 --> 02:12:47,920 Speaker 1: prophetic and as I mentioned earlier, because he's been with 2379 02:12:48,040 --> 02:12:50,520 Speaker 1: us for quite some time, Dick Gregory always said, keep 2380 02:12:50,600 --> 02:12:53,240 Speaker 1: that brother close. He's an early warning system. It was 2381 02:12:53,280 --> 02:12:55,560 Speaker 1: sort of the spook could sat at the door, doctor Wimbush. 2382 02:12:55,680 --> 02:12:57,880 Speaker 1: So we were head of the learning curve when it 2383 02:12:57,960 --> 02:12:59,800 Speaker 1: came to all kinds of different issues. 2384 02:13:01,000 --> 02:13:01,480 Speaker 6: That's right. 2385 02:13:02,120 --> 02:13:05,120 Speaker 2: And we need to listen to our people more. 2386 02:13:05,800 --> 02:13:05,960 Speaker 5: You know. 2387 02:13:07,120 --> 02:13:12,640 Speaker 2: We always are ahead of what's going on in the world, 2388 02:13:13,320 --> 02:13:17,040 Speaker 2: you know, and if we don't listen, we make mistakes. 2389 02:13:17,680 --> 02:13:17,880 Speaker 5: You know. 2390 02:13:18,520 --> 02:13:21,000 Speaker 2: You and I have talked about this on the radio 2391 02:13:21,160 --> 02:13:24,160 Speaker 2: a lot.

They 2466 02:16:56,920 --> 02:16:59,640 Speaker 2: don't want a dialogue they they sight with. 2467 02:16:59,800 --> 02:17:00,959 Speaker 6: The master has. 2468 02:17:00,959 --> 02:17:05,760 Speaker 2: Told them to recite, but they don't really want to talk. 2469 02:17:07,320 --> 02:17:09,760 Speaker 2: And you know, I feel sorry for him. I think 2470 02:17:09,840 --> 02:17:13,560 Speaker 2: it shows the success of white supremacy in brainwashing US. 2471 02:17:14,400 --> 02:17:16,920 Speaker 2: But you know, they're very difficult to talk to. That's 2472 02:17:16,920 --> 02:17:19,560 Speaker 2: all I can say about the brother. You know, he's 2473 02:17:19,680 --> 02:17:25,200 Speaker 2: good at reading and memorizing the talking points of you know, 2474 02:17:25,480 --> 02:17:29,120 Speaker 2: with you know, his leader, I guess and saying I 2475 02:17:29,200 --> 02:17:33,520 Speaker 2: mean I heard him say something about Venezuela. Trump is 2476 02:17:33,600 --> 02:17:37,760 Speaker 2: a pirate. He stole those ships and taking the oil. 2477 02:17:38,680 --> 02:17:42,840 Speaker 2: You know, there's no there's you know, this idea they 2478 02:17:43,000 --> 02:17:46,280 Speaker 2: reduced crime in the United States. Crime was going down 2479 02:17:46,400 --> 02:17:50,000 Speaker 2: at all time loads anyway. Trump had absolutely nothing to 2480 02:17:50,120 --> 02:17:50,480 Speaker 2: do with. 2481 02:17:50,640 --> 02:17:51,640 Speaker 6: That, you know. 2482 02:17:51,840 --> 02:17:54,119 Speaker 2: So I don't know what to say about that. It's 2483 02:17:54,320 --> 02:17:57,600 Speaker 2: you know, sometimes talking to black maggots or like speaking 2484 02:17:58,600 --> 02:18:02,040 Speaker 2: French in the Chinese r and soron in Greece. You know, 2485 02:18:02,200 --> 02:18:04,880 Speaker 2: you just can't it gets lost in translation. 2486 02:18:06,080 --> 02:18:07,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. And one of the things that Mike should check 2487 02:18:07,840 --> 02:18:11,160 Speaker 1: out too, because they get their information from one source. 2488 02:18:11,200 --> 02:18:12,800 Speaker 1: They don't look at both sides of the story to 2489 02:18:12,840 --> 02:18:15,720 Speaker 1: get the information. He would say that the latest poll 2490 02:18:15,840 --> 02:18:18,640 Speaker 1: is out, Doctor Wayne Bush said, most people are opposed 2491 02:18:18,760 --> 02:18:23,080 Speaker 1: to the United States attack in Iraq. That's a worldwide 2492 02:18:23,120 --> 02:18:26,640 Speaker 1: pole that was taken this weekend, right after the attack. 2493 02:18:27,280 --> 02:18:28,400 Speaker 1: Most people are opposed to it. 2494 02:18:28,800 --> 02:18:32,600 Speaker 7: So you know, the only people go ahead and well 2495 02:18:32,879 --> 02:18:37,320 Speaker 7: and it's also like again, you know Joey uh uh 2496 02:18:38,400 --> 02:18:39,039 Speaker 7: what's her name? 2497 02:18:39,160 --> 02:18:41,359 Speaker 6: You court, she did a great. 2498 02:18:41,480 --> 02:18:44,640 Speaker 7: You know thing on CNN and the other night about 2499 02:18:44,760 --> 02:18:45,240 Speaker 7: you know, like I. 2500 02:18:45,320 --> 02:18:46,920 Speaker 6: Looked at sixty minutes last night. 2501 02:18:47,360 --> 02:18:50,080 Speaker 2: You know, the guy with his name that he's the 2502 02:18:50,720 --> 02:18:54,039 Speaker 2: relative of the Polabb family who used. 2503 02:18:53,840 --> 02:18:56,000 Speaker 1: To rule Iran. 2504 02:18:56,320 --> 02:19:01,160 Speaker 6: Yeah right, you know, a US tool. 2505 02:19:01,720 --> 02:19:05,880 Speaker 2: You know, they want to try to possibly insert him 2506 02:19:06,400 --> 02:19:09,560 Speaker 2: to govern Iran. He wants to do that, he said, 2507 02:19:09,600 --> 02:19:13,080 Speaker 2: at least during a transition. But see, people, a few 2508 02:19:13,120 --> 02:19:17,560 Speaker 2: people have heard about Mohammad most of the day, who 2509 02:19:17,640 --> 02:19:21,640 Speaker 2: the CI deposed in the nineteen or took out in 2510 02:19:21,760 --> 02:19:26,440 Speaker 2: the nineteen fifties because he wanted to nationalize the oil 2511 02:19:26,600 --> 02:19:31,000 Speaker 2: industry because he knew that the West, particularly BP oil, 2512 02:19:31,879 --> 02:19:38,600 Speaker 2: was exploiting Iran. And how in nineteen seventy nine the 2513 02:19:38,760 --> 02:19:42,400 Speaker 2: whole thing you know, collapsed because they got rid of 2514 02:19:42,480 --> 02:19:45,840 Speaker 2: the Shah of Iran. You know, that's how this group 2515 02:19:45,959 --> 02:19:49,960 Speaker 2: came in so to reinstall him again. We don't read history, 2516 02:19:50,440 --> 02:19:52,400 Speaker 2: and you know, brother Mike, you know, tell him to 2517 02:19:52,440 --> 02:19:54,680 Speaker 2: come to my class and Morgan, I'll teach him a 2518 02:19:54,760 --> 02:19:57,240 Speaker 2: few things, all right, and. 2519 02:19:57,320 --> 02:19:59,280 Speaker 1: Let him singer on that as we take a step 2520 02:19:59,320 --> 02:20:02,119 Speaker 1: aside so usations can identify themselves down the line. It's 2521 02:20:02,160 --> 02:20:03,840 Speaker 1: three minutes away from the top of the our family, 2522 02:20:03,920 --> 02:20:06,920 Speaker 1: I guess is doctor Ray Wimbisch's classes. He teaches at 2523 02:20:06,959 --> 02:20:09,680 Speaker 1: Morgan State University in Baltimore.

Made it after top 2528 02:20:19,959 --> 02:20:22,160 Speaker 1: of that of our guest Dr Ray Wimbish from Morgan 2529 02:20:22,240 --> 02:20:26,880 Speaker 1: State University. Right now, we're discussing the Trump administration's attack 2530 02:20:26,959 --> 02:20:32,200 Speaker 1: on Iran. It was premeditated, it wasn't It wasn't started 2531 02:20:32,240 --> 02:20:34,680 Speaker 1: by any one thing. We're still getting trying to wait, 2532 02:20:34,879 --> 02:20:37,240 Speaker 1: doctor Wimbush, for Donald Trump to speak to the American 2533 02:20:37,320 --> 02:20:40,160 Speaker 1: people explain to us though. Can he really start a 2534 02:20:40,200 --> 02:20:45,120 Speaker 1: war without getting Congress's approval? That's one question? And what 2535 02:20:45,240 --> 02:20:47,000 Speaker 1: do you think the endgame is. He hasn't told us 2536 02:20:47,040 --> 02:20:49,040 Speaker 1: what the endgame is, what he's trying to achieve. How 2537 02:20:49,160 --> 02:20:52,760 Speaker 1: long and we see American troops on the ground in Iran. 2538 02:20:53,120 --> 02:20:56,360 Speaker 2: Your thoughts, well, I don't think he knows what the 2539 02:20:56,600 --> 02:20:59,760 Speaker 2: end game is. And I think it again shows Israel's 2540 02:20:59,800 --> 02:21:04,160 Speaker 2: influence in foreign policy in the so called Middle East. 2541 02:21:05,040 --> 02:21:10,160 Speaker 2: I think that he's doing this primarily on behest of Israel. 2542 02:21:11,640 --> 02:21:15,840 Speaker 2: The other thing, think about he's attacked a nation and 2543 02:21:15,959 --> 02:21:18,800 Speaker 2: then tells the people on that first address with the 2544 02:21:18,959 --> 02:21:21,080 Speaker 2: baseball hat on and said USA. 2545 02:21:21,640 --> 02:21:25,760 Speaker 7: The other night, he says to the people, I'm you know. 2546 02:21:25,760 --> 02:21:26,640 Speaker 6: I'm rescuing. 2547 02:21:27,040 --> 02:21:32,440 Speaker 2: Essentially, I'm rescuing you. You know we're gonna you know you, 2548 02:21:32,600 --> 02:21:36,240 Speaker 2: But it's you that have to do something. 2549 02:21:36,080 --> 02:21:39,960 Speaker 6: To install democracy. 2550 02:21:39,400 --> 02:21:43,800 Speaker 2: In your country again. So he wins either way. If 2551 02:21:43,840 --> 02:21:48,920 Speaker 2: the Iranian people do kick out you know, the Revolutionary 2552 02:21:49,000 --> 02:21:54,360 Speaker 2: Guard and the Schiai clerics that ruled Iran for the 2553 02:21:54,480 --> 02:21:59,280 Speaker 2: past thirty something years, he'll take credit for doing that. 2554 02:22:00,120 --> 02:22:03,360 Speaker 2: If they don't, he can say, well I tried. So 2555 02:22:03,560 --> 02:22:07,240 Speaker 2: here's the president that starts a war and then leaves 2556 02:22:07,360 --> 02:22:12,840 Speaker 2: the room. But make sure that his legacy will be well, 2557 02:22:13,000 --> 02:22:16,240 Speaker 2: I tried to get them to do this. We destroyed 2558 02:22:16,280 --> 02:22:20,720 Speaker 2: the country, as Israel told us to do, but they 2559 02:22:20,760 --> 02:22:24,400 Speaker 2: didn't really take advantage of that. So I mean, it's 2560 02:22:24,600 --> 02:22:27,800 Speaker 2: very clever and very sinister what he's doing right now. 2561 02:22:28,080 --> 02:22:31,480 Speaker 2: But I don't think he has any objectives. I really don't. 2562 02:22:32,320 --> 02:22:35,240 Speaker 1: Well, before I take out the coffee, who wins? Who 2563 02:22:35,360 --> 02:22:37,480 Speaker 1: benefits from this attack on Iran? 2564 02:22:38,560 --> 02:22:40,840 Speaker 6: Well, it certainly isn't going. 2565 02:22:40,760 --> 02:22:40,959 Speaker 10: To be. 2566 02:22:42,680 --> 02:22:46,320 Speaker 2: The American consumer. As he talked about being a threat 2567 02:22:46,920 --> 02:22:49,800 Speaker 2: to us, it wasn't a threat. Republicans are saying that 2568 02:22:50,480 --> 02:22:53,680 Speaker 2: the only person that wins if you please, is Israel, 2569 02:22:54,600 --> 02:22:58,840 Speaker 2: and I think that we neglect Israel has been very 2570 02:22:58,959 --> 02:23:03,760 Speaker 2: successful and keeping his name out of the major news 2571 02:23:04,040 --> 02:23:09,520 Speaker 2: organizations from the Epstein fiul. Epstein was a massad agent, 2572 02:23:10,200 --> 02:23:12,280 Speaker 2: and I don't want to get a sidetracked on that. 2573 02:23:12,400 --> 02:23:16,640 Speaker 2: But I think in terms of like who when Trump 2574 02:23:17,800 --> 02:23:21,040 Speaker 2: gets little out of this, I mean he's alienated his 2575 02:23:21,320 --> 02:23:27,039 Speaker 2: maggot followers like your former caller. Apparently there's still black 2576 02:23:27,080 --> 02:23:30,920 Speaker 2: folks a portal. But because he promised not to start 2577 02:23:31,000 --> 02:23:35,680 Speaker 2: any more wars and he's done that, and he's right 2578 02:23:35,800 --> 02:23:39,640 Speaker 2: now unchecked and the Congress under Mike Uh, well, the 2579 02:23:39,840 --> 02:23:45,560 Speaker 2: House of Representatives are House under Mike Johnson is totally impotent. 2580 02:23:45,920 --> 02:23:49,640 Speaker 2: Totally impotent, and I think that he doesn't want to 2581 02:23:49,680 --> 02:23:54,040 Speaker 2: be a lane Dug president from the November election. So 2582 02:23:54,160 --> 02:23:58,280 Speaker 2: I think he's slowly but surely setting up his ice, 2583 02:23:59,040 --> 02:24:03,760 Speaker 2: you know, army throughout this country right now to you know, 2584 02:24:03,920 --> 02:24:06,680 Speaker 2: to declare martial law. Now, I'm not the only one 2585 02:24:06,760 --> 02:24:07,760 Speaker 2: saying that, a lot. 2586 02:24:07,640 --> 02:24:11,119 Speaker 1: Of people are saying that will help us out. One 2587 02:24:11,160 --> 02:24:13,960 Speaker 1: more cervious class for us, isn't Congress is supposed to 2588 02:24:14,000 --> 02:24:15,840 Speaker 1: want to authorize the way go to war or not? 2589 02:24:16,040 --> 02:24:19,000 Speaker 1: Or can he just learn the latter just you know, 2590 02:24:19,160 --> 02:24:21,640 Speaker 1: start sending troops over there. 2591 02:24:22,760 --> 02:24:27,160 Speaker 2: You have to give you you're supposed to get under 2592 02:24:27,360 --> 02:24:33,600 Speaker 2: the War Powers Act. You're supposed to get permission from 2593 02:24:33,760 --> 02:24:37,520 Speaker 2: Congress and let them know why you are starting a 2594 02:24:37,640 --> 02:24:41,800 Speaker 2: war before you attack. And Congress is supposed to be 2595 02:24:42,040 --> 02:24:45,280 Speaker 2: I mean, the Constitution says that, but he's shown that 2596 02:24:45,360 --> 02:24:49,240 Speaker 2: he doesn't care about what the constitution says. So and 2597 02:24:49,400 --> 02:24:54,560 Speaker 2: Mike Johnson is his lackey. The Democrats aren't in power, 2598 02:24:55,320 --> 02:24:59,800 Speaker 2: and right now we're under a dictatorship. I think it's 2599 02:24:59,840 --> 02:25:04,200 Speaker 2: a solve dictatorship that will hardened as we approached the 2600 02:25:04,320 --> 02:25:09,120 Speaker 2: November election. But we're supposed to get he's supposed to 2601 02:25:09,200 --> 02:25:12,520 Speaker 2: get provisioned. But he doesn't care about the Constitution. He 2602 02:25:12,640 --> 02:25:13,360 Speaker 2: doesn't at all. 2603 02:25:14,200 --> 02:25:15,600 Speaker 1: All Right, we got a bunch of folks want to 2604 02:25:15,600 --> 02:25:17,680 Speaker 1: talk to you, doctor Wimbush.

And 2609 02:25:31,320 --> 02:25:33,440 Speaker 8: my reason for saying such is because I go to 2610 02:25:33,560 --> 02:25:38,160 Speaker 8: Carl Nelson Radioversity and last week in our class, we 2611 02:25:38,280 --> 02:25:41,160 Speaker 8: had the sister that was the first judge I believe 2612 02:25:41,240 --> 02:25:44,360 Speaker 8: in Alabama, and she came on and she shared with 2613 02:25:44,560 --> 02:25:48,320 Speaker 8: us how right now, the educators inside of the Black Well, 2614 02:25:48,360 --> 02:25:51,840 Speaker 8: the educators in America need to twitch their focus. We 2615 02:25:52,000 --> 02:25:55,320 Speaker 8: need to get some more accountability from our churches, from 2616 02:25:55,400 --> 02:25:59,000 Speaker 8: our fraternal orders, our sororities and everybody. And we need 2617 02:25:59,080 --> 02:26:02,520 Speaker 8: to be asking ourselves for some accountability so that we 2618 02:26:02,600 --> 02:26:06,880 Speaker 8: could get some resources so that we could invest in 2619 02:26:07,080 --> 02:26:10,840 Speaker 8: early development, in our early childhood development. And I was wondering, 2620 02:26:10,959 --> 02:26:14,720 Speaker 8: how were you thinking along those lines, because it appears 2621 02:26:14,800 --> 02:26:18,920 Speaker 8: that we've been doing the same celebration of Black History 2622 02:26:19,280 --> 02:26:22,160 Speaker 8: Month and then once it's over, we forget about ourself. 2623 02:26:22,680 --> 02:26:24,880 Speaker 8: And I was just wondering how you're chiming in to 2624 02:26:24,959 --> 02:26:27,520 Speaker 8: bring in that kind of new focus that is much 2625 02:26:27,640 --> 02:26:29,200 Speaker 8: needed inside of our community. 2626 02:26:30,000 --> 02:26:32,320 Speaker 1: All right, And doctor Wembush, what he's talking about first 2627 02:26:32,440 --> 02:26:35,040 Speaker 1: is fire roads to ray. She was the first black 2628 02:26:35,600 --> 02:26:39,720 Speaker 1: female like to judge in the state of Alabama, and 2629 02:26:39,840 --> 02:26:43,800 Speaker 1: she was still giving us a preview of the celebration 2630 02:26:44,080 --> 02:26:46,240 Speaker 1: or commemoration of Bloody Sunday. But go ahead, you can 2631 02:26:46,320 --> 02:26:47,160 Speaker 1: respond to his question. 2632 02:26:48,120 --> 02:26:50,480 Speaker 2: No, I think it's a very good question. And I 2633 02:26:50,600 --> 02:26:54,040 Speaker 2: think again, you know, we don't want to, you know, 2634 02:26:54,520 --> 02:26:57,560 Speaker 2: wash Rents and then repeat over and over some of 2635 02:26:57,640 --> 02:26:58,960 Speaker 2: the things that he just said. 2636 02:26:59,120 --> 02:27:00,040 Speaker 5: We got that. 2637 02:27:01,320 --> 02:27:05,080 Speaker 2: As he said, we've got to start at an early 2638 02:27:05,320 --> 02:27:11,920 Speaker 2: childhood teaching our children about being an African in America. 2639 02:27:13,680 --> 02:27:16,880 Speaker 2: It should be taught daily. And I always tell people 2640 02:27:17,200 --> 02:27:21,480 Speaker 2: every day we should do spend at least thirty minutes 2641 02:27:21,560 --> 02:27:25,120 Speaker 2: doing something for black folks in this country. And that 2642 02:27:25,200 --> 02:27:31,199 Speaker 2: should be the agenda of the fraternal organizations, our sororities, 2643 02:27:32,120 --> 02:27:37,400 Speaker 2: our civil rights organizations, and especially our Black churches. And 2644 02:27:37,520 --> 02:27:39,840 Speaker 2: I've been kind of hard on Black churches over the 2645 02:27:40,040 --> 02:27:44,160 Speaker 2: years because I think that if you have choir, rehearsal, 2646 02:27:44,280 --> 02:27:48,120 Speaker 2: prayer meeting, and Sunday worship those other four days of 2647 02:27:48,200 --> 02:27:50,920 Speaker 2: the week, you need to be teaching Black history in 2648 02:27:51,040 --> 02:27:55,080 Speaker 2: our classes in our churches. And you've got most Black 2649 02:27:55,920 --> 02:27:58,039 Speaker 2: churches have teachers, and. 2650 02:27:58,120 --> 02:27:59,840 Speaker 6: They can teach Black history. 2651 02:28:00,200 --> 02:28:03,039 Speaker 2: And it doesn't have to be a person who's been educated, 2652 02:28:03,080 --> 02:28:07,440 Speaker 2: but a person who knows about some aspect of Black history. 2653 02:28:07,480 --> 02:28:12,480 Speaker 2: Our churches are underutilized as a vehicle for educating our people, 2654 02:28:12,920 --> 02:28:17,120 Speaker 2: and we need to start doing that and continue to 2655 02:28:17,280 --> 02:28:21,000 Speaker 2: do it the way Jeremiah Wright did it and does 2656 02:28:21,080 --> 02:28:24,360 Speaker 2: it in Chicago right now, the way Minister far Are 2657 02:28:24,440 --> 02:28:29,960 Speaker 2: com Minister far Khan, Minister Farkhin does it in the 2658 02:28:30,080 --> 02:28:33,200 Speaker 2: Nation of Islam. Our ministers have to step up to 2659 02:28:33,280 --> 02:28:35,840 Speaker 2: the plate and make sure that they're doing the right. 2660 02:28:35,800 --> 02:28:38,880 Speaker 1: Thing, all right for taking out well, thanks Carl, if 2661 02:28:38,920 --> 02:28:41,520 Speaker 1: I'm taking out the coffee. Tweet two that says obomba 2662 02:28:41,560 --> 02:28:45,480 Speaker 1: bombed eight countries without congressional approval. It goes on to say, 2663 02:28:45,520 --> 02:28:48,279 Speaker 1: the difference is Trump is ending a war before it happens, 2664 02:28:48,360 --> 02:28:51,640 Speaker 1: not starting a war for nothing and save me or 2665 02:28:51,920 --> 02:28:54,720 Speaker 1: outrage and for him, I just say, two wrongs don't 2666 02:28:54,760 --> 02:28:56,960 Speaker 1: make it right. But doctor Wimershy, he was referring to you, 2667 02:28:57,080 --> 02:28:58,960 Speaker 1: So I'll let you respond to it that tweet. 2668 02:29:00,080 --> 02:29:02,480 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, of course, I mean we have to 2669 02:29:02,600 --> 02:29:06,880 Speaker 2: critique Obama and any other black leader. The right to 2670 02:29:07,000 --> 02:29:09,600 Speaker 2: critique is not with a lot of black women. If 2671 02:29:09,600 --> 02:29:12,360 Speaker 2: you criticize Obama, if you said, well, you hating on Obama? 2672 02:29:13,080 --> 02:29:16,400 Speaker 2: You know Obama is a bad thing, you know, Like 2673 02:29:17,560 --> 02:29:22,960 Speaker 2: I mean, he was the chief drone sender during his 2674 02:29:23,160 --> 02:29:29,560 Speaker 2: administrator administration, you know. So I'm not forgiving Obama for 2675 02:29:29,640 --> 02:29:33,640 Speaker 2: anything like that. And when this idea about starting a ward, 2676 02:29:34,160 --> 02:29:37,720 Speaker 2: I mean, I always say that Obama's biggest mistake was 2677 02:29:37,760 --> 02:29:42,600 Speaker 2: when he was instrumental in the assassination of Moumar Kadafi, 2678 02:29:43,280 --> 02:29:47,520 Speaker 2: and he says that in his biography autobiography, that that 2679 02:29:47,760 --> 02:29:51,840 Speaker 2: was a mistake. So I'm not about criticizing Obama. But 2680 02:29:52,480 --> 02:29:54,800 Speaker 2: you know, we don't want to play what about it 2681 02:29:54,920 --> 02:29:58,320 Speaker 2: ism with Trump. I don't think that Obama ever brought 2682 02:29:58,400 --> 02:30:03,360 Speaker 2: us close to having world War three as we are today. 2683 02:30:04,000 --> 02:30:07,680 Speaker 2: And again, Obama did a lot of bad things, you know, 2684 02:30:07,879 --> 02:30:10,560 Speaker 2: no doubt about it. He's part of that whole system 2685 02:30:11,200 --> 02:30:14,960 Speaker 2: just out there. But to try to say that somehow 2686 02:30:15,320 --> 02:30:19,680 Speaker 2: Trump is saving us from World War three, that's a lie. 2687 02:30:20,040 --> 02:30:22,760 Speaker 6: And again it's a talking point, right. 2688 02:30:22,840 --> 02:30:25,600 Speaker 1: And Obama at this point is still deporting more people 2689 02:30:25,680 --> 02:30:28,800 Speaker 1: than the illegal immigrants that than Donald Trump has. He 2690 02:30:28,920 --> 02:30:31,080 Speaker 1: may have done it humanly and quietly, not the way 2691 02:30:31,160 --> 02:30:34,720 Speaker 1: that the circus atmosphere, Yeah, but he did do It's 2692 02:30:34,760 --> 02:30:37,840 Speaker 1: something so Trump still hasn't caught up to all the 2693 02:30:37,879 --> 02:30:41,320 Speaker 1: people that Barack Obama deported eight hundred and four or 2694 02:30:41,320 --> 02:30:43,840 Speaker 1: five zero, seventy eight seventy six twelve At the top 2695 02:30:44,160 --> 02:30:46,560 Speaker 1: Bob's in Buffalo has a question for E's online four 2696 02:30:47,080 --> 02:30:49,759 Speaker 1: Grand Rising Bob, you know with doctor Wimbush. 2697 02:30:50,560 --> 02:30:52,880 Speaker 10: Bless you love family. When I called in and I 2698 02:30:52,959 --> 02:30:57,160 Speaker 10: wanted to ask the doctor about who's Zuni? Who is 2699 02:30:57,320 --> 02:31:03,960 Speaker 10: Israel leading the US? Is it was leading Israel? But 2700 02:31:04,840 --> 02:31:07,600 Speaker 10: as I listened to more, I wanted to ask him 2701 02:31:07,680 --> 02:31:12,200 Speaker 10: whether he thinks Trump's election, this past election was a 2702 02:31:12,280 --> 02:31:15,640 Speaker 10: free and fair election, and how can we get to 2703 02:31:16,160 --> 02:31:20,400 Speaker 10: a participatory democracy? And I think one of the best 2704 02:31:20,560 --> 02:31:25,959 Speaker 10: recent ways is to have automatic voter registration as soon 2705 02:31:26,000 --> 02:31:29,120 Speaker 10: as you turn eighteen. Every person who's a serious in 2706 02:31:29,200 --> 02:31:32,040 Speaker 10: this country should be able to vote once they turn 2707 02:31:32,120 --> 02:31:37,279 Speaker 10: eighteen and get rid of all barriers to participatory democracy. 2708 02:31:37,879 --> 02:31:40,360 Speaker 10: So I was wondering what you think about those Selenias brothers. 2709 02:31:41,320 --> 02:31:46,720 Speaker 2: Those are all incredibly great question. First of all, Israel 2710 02:31:46,959 --> 02:31:52,600 Speaker 2: is leading the United States. You know, Israel the United 2711 02:31:52,600 --> 02:31:59,200 Speaker 2: States basically gets his foreign policy from Benjaminette. 2712 02:31:58,400 --> 02:31:59,359 Speaker 6: Yahoo. 2713 02:32:00,480 --> 02:32:02,280 Speaker 2: And all criminal. 2714 02:32:03,160 --> 02:32:04,320 Speaker 6: He's a war criminal. 2715 02:32:04,520 --> 02:32:09,640 Speaker 2: Both of them are war I mean Trump and Nenyah 2716 02:32:09,680 --> 02:32:13,640 Speaker 2: who the other group APAK, whom I'm sure you're familiar 2717 02:32:13,720 --> 02:32:18,840 Speaker 2: with American Israeli Political Action Committee, they determine foreign policy 2718 02:32:19,040 --> 02:32:22,160 Speaker 2: in the so called Middle East. I got nervous a 2719 02:32:22,280 --> 02:32:25,440 Speaker 2: couple of years ago when men Yah who spoke before 2720 02:32:25,600 --> 02:32:30,040 Speaker 2: the United Nations and kept using this term greater Israel, 2721 02:32:30,240 --> 02:32:34,279 Speaker 2: greater Israel, because I know that his plans, and others 2722 02:32:34,360 --> 02:32:37,960 Speaker 2: have said that his plan is to make Israel a 2723 02:32:38,200 --> 02:32:44,800 Speaker 2: dominant force invading other countries the way they have invaded Palestine, 2724 02:32:45,400 --> 02:32:49,720 Speaker 2: been taken and killed, committed genocide in that nation. 2725 02:32:51,120 --> 02:32:52,440 Speaker 6: The other thing, I totally agree. 2726 02:32:52,480 --> 02:32:55,600 Speaker 2: I think at eighteen. Everybody should get a voting guard period. 2727 02:32:55,920 --> 02:32:59,680 Speaker 2: Just like we got social security guards. We should have 2728 02:33:00,160 --> 02:33:04,040 Speaker 2: every person when they turn eighteen should be mailed a 2729 02:33:04,200 --> 02:33:08,240 Speaker 2: card to vote. There is no such thing as voter fraud. 2730 02:33:08,640 --> 02:33:11,879 Speaker 2: It's a term that has been created by the Republicans, 2731 02:33:12,160 --> 02:33:17,920 Speaker 2: who are a minority group in this country, the idiots politically, 2732 02:33:18,920 --> 02:33:22,320 Speaker 2: and they got to cheat. Even though Trump in his 2733 02:33:23,520 --> 02:33:27,720 Speaker 2: so called State of the Union last week said that 2734 02:33:27,920 --> 02:33:30,720 Speaker 2: the Democrats chieved, the fact of the matter is the 2735 02:33:30,840 --> 02:33:35,280 Speaker 2: only way Trump can win in twenty this year, or 2736 02:33:35,440 --> 02:33:38,440 Speaker 2: win the House this year and possibly the Senate is 2737 02:33:38,520 --> 02:33:41,400 Speaker 2: to cheat. And the way they chiat is by talking 2738 02:33:41,480 --> 02:33:44,800 Speaker 2: about voter fraud. There's no such thing as voter fraud. 2739 02:33:44,920 --> 02:33:47,160 Speaker 2: It doesn't exist, all. 2740 02:33:47,120 --> 02:33:49,720 Speaker 1: Right, fourteen half that top of and also we're going 2741 02:33:49,800 --> 02:33:51,720 Speaker 1: to talk about the elections coming up in the primary 2742 02:33:51,760 --> 02:33:55,200 Speaker 1: elections in Texas tomorrow. But well, what doctor Wember she's 2743 02:33:55,240 --> 02:33:58,360 Speaker 1: talking about. The research has shown that this talk about 2744 02:33:58,440 --> 02:34:02,560 Speaker 1: voter fraud, that the voting it's not true. You know, 2745 02:34:02,680 --> 02:34:05,000 Speaker 1: it's maybe they made the three or four people that 2746 02:34:05,400 --> 02:34:09,360 Speaker 1: were were not citizens who voted in the election. We're 2747 02:34:09,360 --> 02:34:12,680 Speaker 1: talking about nationwide or state side. There's several states were 2748 02:34:12,720 --> 02:34:14,280 Speaker 1: three or four, maybe one or two, and some of 2749 02:34:14,360 --> 02:34:15,959 Speaker 1: them did it because they didn't even know it. They 2750 02:34:16,000 --> 02:34:18,840 Speaker 1: were ignorant they were doing it. Some of them even 2751 02:34:18,879 --> 02:34:23,400 Speaker 1: voted for Republicans. So that, yeah, that whole issue that 2752 02:34:23,480 --> 02:34:25,800 Speaker 1: they say about voter fraud, that the you know, they 2753 02:34:25,920 --> 02:34:28,240 Speaker 1: come up with that term and and oh that's why 2754 02:34:28,280 --> 02:34:30,720 Speaker 1: they let any illegals, legals are coming in and they vote. 2755 02:34:30,920 --> 02:34:33,560 Speaker 1: It's not true. The research doesn't back that up. 2756 02:34:33,840 --> 02:34:35,560 Speaker 6: It's a myth. It's a myth. 2757 02:34:36,680 --> 02:34:39,400 Speaker 2: And had Mike stayed on the phone instead of screaming 2758 02:34:39,440 --> 02:34:42,960 Speaker 2: a few calls back, I would ask him about voter fraud, 2759 02:34:43,120 --> 02:34:46,760 Speaker 2: does he believe in that? I mean, it's and it 2760 02:34:47,040 --> 02:34:49,800 Speaker 2: emerged if you look at do a Google search or 2761 02:34:49,840 --> 02:34:53,880 Speaker 2: the word voter fraud and then put in twenty ten, 2762 02:34:54,200 --> 02:34:57,560 Speaker 2: you know, way before Trump. You won't even sign the term. 2763 02:34:58,120 --> 02:35:01,480 Speaker 2: It started in the twenty six teen election because the 2764 02:35:01,640 --> 02:35:06,240 Speaker 2: Republicans were and are a minority party in this country. 2765 02:35:06,440 --> 02:35:11,400 Speaker 2: And the third thing, the brother Bob's you know, imply 2766 02:35:11,959 --> 02:35:15,080 Speaker 2: we need to get rid of the electoral college, which 2767 02:35:15,160 --> 02:35:19,240 Speaker 2: is a legacy of the so called founding Fathers in 2768 02:35:19,480 --> 02:35:25,680 Speaker 2: terms of suppressing the black vote. I mean Montana has 2769 02:35:25,840 --> 02:35:31,560 Speaker 2: two senators and California has two. But that's a whole 2770 02:35:31,680 --> 02:35:34,800 Speaker 2: nother discussion. But we really need to talk about getting 2771 02:35:34,959 --> 02:35:38,520 Speaker 2: rid of the electoral college. It's a pipe dream of mine, 2772 02:35:38,600 --> 02:35:41,800 Speaker 2: of course, but it's not just me. Others are saying 2773 02:35:41,879 --> 02:35:42,640 Speaker 2: the same thing. 2774 02:35:43,879 --> 02:35:45,760 Speaker 1: All right. Well, hold, I thought that we gotta take 2775 02:35:45,760 --> 02:35:47,080 Speaker 1: a break when we come back, though, tell us how 2776 02:35:47,120 --> 02:35:49,119 Speaker 1: can that be done?

I would 2784 02:36:08,480 --> 02:36:09,960 Speaker 1: love to have you stay for the rest of the 2785 02:36:10,000 --> 02:36:11,560 Speaker 1: week as well. You know how to reach us from 2786 02:36:11,560 --> 02:36:13,600 Speaker 1: when we start the programs eight hundred four or five 2787 02:36:13,760 --> 02:36:17,160 Speaker 1: zero seventy eight seventy six speaking with doctor Ray Winbersch 2788 02:36:17,200 --> 02:36:19,560 Speaker 1: from Morgan State University. And before we left you discussing 2789 02:36:19,600 --> 02:36:24,760 Speaker 1: the the electoral college. You have problems with that many 2790 02:36:24,760 --> 02:36:26,800 Speaker 1: people do they feel we should go back to one man, 2791 02:36:26,920 --> 02:36:30,240 Speaker 1: one vote, you know, instead of this electoral college issue. Also, 2792 02:36:30,320 --> 02:36:32,000 Speaker 1: I want you to address that how can that be? 2793 02:36:32,160 --> 02:36:35,120 Speaker 1: How can that be? Just need a constitutional amendment to 2794 02:36:35,240 --> 02:36:37,520 Speaker 1: change that? And the second question, I want you to 2795 02:36:37,640 --> 02:36:40,080 Speaker 1: respond to the fact that the Republicans or Donald Trump 2796 02:36:40,200 --> 02:36:43,560 Speaker 1: is talking about nationalizing or federalizing the elections. Can they 2797 02:36:43,640 --> 02:36:43,840 Speaker 1: do that? 2798 02:36:45,520 --> 02:36:47,880 Speaker 2: Well, the answer to the second one is absolutely not. 2799 02:36:48,920 --> 02:36:53,680 Speaker 2: The Constitution is very clear because again the so called 2800 02:36:54,000 --> 02:36:58,039 Speaker 2: you know, founding well always call them the founding races. 2801 02:36:57,800 --> 02:37:01,160 Speaker 6: But they were very very clear on was that it. 2802 02:37:01,320 --> 02:37:04,960 Speaker 2: Didn't want a king, and if you nationalize election, you 2803 02:37:05,160 --> 02:37:09,360 Speaker 2: concentrate everything in one person or one branch of the government. 2804 02:37:10,000 --> 02:37:12,960 Speaker 2: And they were very obsessed with that. That's why we 2805 02:37:13,200 --> 02:37:18,519 Speaker 2: have fifty different secretaries of States who govern the elections 2806 02:37:18,680 --> 02:37:22,879 Speaker 2: in this country. So again we have a so called 2807 02:37:22,959 --> 02:37:29,080 Speaker 2: president that doesn't follow the constitution. If you read the 2808 02:37:30,080 --> 02:37:33,560 Speaker 2: Project twenty twenty five, it clearly states that we are 2809 02:37:33,720 --> 02:37:39,800 Speaker 2: in post constitutional America. That's what they said, So they 2810 02:37:39,879 --> 02:37:46,000 Speaker 2: don't care about the constitution anymore. And then the second thing, 2811 02:37:46,080 --> 02:37:47,880 Speaker 2: how do you get rid of the electoral call? It 2812 02:37:47,879 --> 02:37:52,199 Speaker 2: would have to be an amendment to the Constitution and America. 2813 02:37:52,400 --> 02:37:56,920 Speaker 2: Even though the Constitution says that we could have constitutional 2814 02:37:57,360 --> 02:38:01,000 Speaker 2: conventions that we can change the Constitution, people have been 2815 02:38:01,200 --> 02:38:04,720 Speaker 2: very reluctant to do that, simply because of the fact 2816 02:38:04,760 --> 02:38:08,720 Speaker 2: that you bring out the crazies at a constitutional convention, 2817 02:38:09,480 --> 02:38:14,760 Speaker 2: or it risked talking about the Constitution in general. So 2818 02:38:16,320 --> 02:38:20,120 Speaker 2: I always tell people John O. Franklin, one of my 2819 02:38:20,320 --> 02:38:23,840 Speaker 2: teachers when I was in grad schools, said he wrote 2820 02:38:23,840 --> 02:38:27,920 Speaker 2: an essay in nineteen seventy six called the Moral Legacy 2821 02:38:28,040 --> 02:38:31,160 Speaker 2: of the Founding Fathers. It's one of the most brilliant 2822 02:38:31,600 --> 02:38:36,000 Speaker 2: essays I've ever read. I hope the blackfook reader. But 2823 02:38:36,760 --> 02:38:40,880 Speaker 2: we need to talk about how the Constitution was flawed, 2824 02:38:41,640 --> 02:38:46,200 Speaker 2: but it was probably the best document to date at 2825 02:38:46,280 --> 02:38:48,959 Speaker 2: that time, and how his legacy is. 2826 02:38:49,000 --> 02:38:50,240 Speaker 6: Still with us today. 2827 02:38:50,320 --> 02:38:54,680 Speaker 2: And one of his legacy is, of course, you know, 2828 02:38:54,959 --> 02:38:57,200 Speaker 2: the idea of the electoral College. 2829 02:38:58,760 --> 02:39:02,119 Speaker 1: All right, Then I mentioned Raymond's waiting for us. He's 2830 02:39:02,200 --> 02:39:05,640 Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill, he's online five grand rising at Raymond 2831 02:39:05,959 --> 02:39:06,760 Speaker 1: with doctor Wimbush. 2832 02:39:09,040 --> 02:39:14,119 Speaker 5: Thank you for taking my call this morning, Doctor Winbush. 2833 02:39:14,560 --> 02:39:18,680 Speaker 5: You are one hundred percent right on time.

They refused 2845 02:40:19,879 --> 02:40:23,760 Speaker 5: to come on for interviews because they was afraid of 2846 02:40:23,879 --> 02:40:26,360 Speaker 5: his mangabase, which is. 2847 02:40:26,480 --> 02:40:30,080 Speaker 6: Cozy exactly exactly. 2848 02:40:30,200 --> 02:40:33,640 Speaker 5: And they were shown and they were shown.

And even as we've been 2889 02:43:43,959 --> 02:43:49,560 Speaker 2: having this conversation, uh, they've identified a fourth person. I 2890 02:43:49,720 --> 02:43:54,600 Speaker 2: believe that there have been more servicemen killed in this war, 2891 02:43:54,879 --> 02:43:58,080 Speaker 2: even at this point on the what is this the third. 2892 02:43:57,959 --> 02:43:58,720 Speaker 6: Day of the war. 2893 02:44:00,360 --> 02:44:02,360 Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna put boots on the ground 2894 02:44:02,520 --> 02:44:05,680 Speaker 2: unless Israel tells Trump to do that. 2895 02:44:07,240 --> 02:44:08,000 Speaker 6: And because the. 2896 02:44:08,040 --> 02:44:13,160 Speaker 2: American people don't like casualties a war, they don't Most 2897 02:44:13,240 --> 02:44:17,840 Speaker 2: Americans are opposed to war, even the maggots, they're opposed 2898 02:44:17,920 --> 02:44:22,759 Speaker 2: to war. And Trump knew that, promised that he wouldn't. 2899 02:44:22,360 --> 02:44:23,400 Speaker 6: Engage in a war. 2900 02:44:24,000 --> 02:44:27,200 Speaker 2: And two weeks after he has his so called peace 2901 02:44:27,400 --> 02:44:31,560 Speaker 2: initiative with the gathering in Washington, d C. 2902 02:44:33,200 --> 02:44:34,160 Speaker 6: He starts a war. 2903 02:44:35,120 --> 02:44:37,840 Speaker 2: So I don't think there's gonna be troop center in 2904 02:44:37,959 --> 02:44:42,440 Speaker 2: there it's too messy, and they don't want to repeat 2905 02:44:43,120 --> 02:44:46,920 Speaker 2: of what happened in Levinon under the Reagan administration when 2906 02:44:46,959 --> 02:44:51,320 Speaker 2: the hotel was bombed with all those American soldiers killed. 2907 02:44:51,640 --> 02:44:53,600 Speaker 2: I don't think that they're gonna do that. 2908 02:44:55,040 --> 02:44:56,520 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. You think this is gonna 2909 02:44:56,760 --> 02:45:01,800 Speaker 1: you know, a two week event and then it's all over. Venezuela. 2910 02:45:02,800 --> 02:45:03,640 Speaker 5: No, No. 2911 02:45:04,280 --> 02:45:06,960 Speaker 2: I think this war is going to be at least 2912 02:45:07,800 --> 02:45:10,480 Speaker 2: six months, if not longer. And the other thing that 2913 02:45:10,600 --> 02:45:14,280 Speaker 2: we keep forgetting about. You know, I'm going to Atlanta 2914 02:45:14,400 --> 02:45:17,560 Speaker 2: this week and I'm driving. I usually fly down there. 2915 02:45:18,840 --> 02:45:23,000 Speaker 2: I think that Iranian sales are in the United States. 2916 02:45:23,560 --> 02:45:24,959 Speaker 6: And I think when the. 2917 02:45:25,080 --> 02:45:27,800 Speaker 2: War and you know, God help us if it does, 2918 02:45:28,800 --> 02:45:32,280 Speaker 2: if the war ever comes over on American soil.

So I think when Americans 2922 02:45:45,000 --> 02:45:50,760 Speaker 2: feel the war hurting them like they are with oil prices, 2923 02:45:51,560 --> 02:45:55,760 Speaker 2: shooting through the roof, as well as a terrorist activity 2924 02:45:55,879 --> 02:46:00,920 Speaker 2: that may occur over here, they're going to really shout out, Look, 2925 02:46:01,200 --> 02:46:03,240 Speaker 2: you told us you were going to not do this 2926 02:46:03,440 --> 02:46:06,160 Speaker 2: and you're doing it all right. 2927 02:46:06,560 --> 02:46:08,960 Speaker 1: Thirty minutes at the top.

Do you think that was a response because. 2986 02:49:15,720 --> 02:49:20,880 Speaker 2: Of that showing him out there? I think that, you know, 2987 02:49:22,320 --> 02:49:26,280 Speaker 2: a commentator, they said that the joke around the White House, 2988 02:49:26,360 --> 02:49:31,080 Speaker 2: I mean the people who worked for him, they called 2989 02:49:31,200 --> 02:49:37,640 Speaker 2: the what is the Epstein invasion of Venezuela. They called 2990 02:49:37,680 --> 02:49:41,840 Speaker 2: the ballroom the Epstein ballroom everything. And I think that 2991 02:49:41,959 --> 02:49:46,240 Speaker 2: we're now experiencing the Epstein War. I think that a 2992 02:49:46,440 --> 02:49:49,160 Speaker 2: lot of what Trump is doing is to make sure 2993 02:49:49,280 --> 02:49:52,600 Speaker 2: that people don't know that he is a pedophile. 2994 02:49:53,440 --> 02:49:55,160 Speaker 6: You probably remember. 2995 02:49:55,440 --> 02:49:59,480 Speaker 2: When they first showed Epstein's Island, they took a tour 2996 02:49:59,600 --> 02:50:02,160 Speaker 2: of it on TV about a month or two ago, 2997 02:50:02,959 --> 02:50:08,160 Speaker 2: and they were wondering what those gynecological chairs were at 2998 02:50:08,360 --> 02:50:12,800 Speaker 2: tables in why were they there? And now we're seeing, 2999 02:50:13,320 --> 02:50:16,880 Speaker 2: you know, revelations in those three million pages that the 3000 02:50:17,240 --> 02:50:25,040 Speaker 2: Department of Justice did release that those girls were getting pregnant, 3001 02:50:25,760 --> 02:50:29,520 Speaker 2: they were having babies, and there's evidence that those babies 3002 02:50:29,600 --> 02:50:33,879 Speaker 2: were eating and I know that sounds far fetched. 3003 02:50:34,040 --> 02:50:34,240 Speaker 5: You know. 3004 02:50:34,560 --> 02:50:36,240 Speaker 6: I always tell people, if you're not a. 3005 02:50:36,320 --> 02:50:40,640 Speaker 2: Conspiracy theorist, you're a coincidence theorist. Why would you need 3006 02:50:40,800 --> 02:50:44,360 Speaker 2: those things? I think the tip of the iceberg has 3007 02:50:44,520 --> 02:50:49,440 Speaker 2: been released about those Epstein file, and I think as 3008 02:50:49,520 --> 02:50:52,720 Speaker 2: we get deeper and deeper, we're going to see that 3009 02:50:53,640 --> 02:50:58,520 Speaker 2: this is a global thing the Europeans do with children. 3010 02:50:59,320 --> 02:51:03,920 Speaker 2: Why was even Honking there, he was paralyzed, you know, 3011 02:51:04,600 --> 02:51:09,920 Speaker 2: Why was Dom Chompsky there, supposedly the philosopher of the 3012 02:51:10,080 --> 02:51:14,680 Speaker 2: United States, you know, all of these things, and they 3013 02:51:14,720 --> 02:51:20,920 Speaker 2: were there to get had engaging things that we would 3014 02:51:21,040 --> 02:51:23,800 Speaker 2: consider just absolutely reprehensible. 3015 02:51:25,280 --> 02:51:27,120 Speaker 1: Twenty five away from the top of that, with doctor 3016 02:51:27,160 --> 02:51:29,720 Speaker 1: Ray Wibersh from Morgan State University, Doctor Wibersh could take 3017 02:51:29,720 --> 02:51:32,520 Speaker 1: a look at the big race in Texas tomorrow.

Many people will be watching that election. 3050 02:53:05,280 --> 02:53:07,960 Speaker 1: See if it foretells what's going to happen in the fall. 3051 02:53:08,240 --> 02:53:12,160 Speaker 1: We are five candidates in one Senate seat closing arguments 3052 02:53:12,240 --> 02:53:16,240 Speaker 1: before Tuesday's primary. Here's what's going down. Republicans. John Cornyn 3053 02:53:16,360 --> 02:53:20,199 Speaker 1: is the incumbent, Ken Paxon is the state attorney general, 3054 02:53:20,240 --> 02:53:23,400 Speaker 1: and Wesley Hunt. They're all Republicans trying to get that seat. 3055 02:53:23,760 --> 02:53:27,360 Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett and James tell Rico are on the Democratic side. 3056 02:53:27,600 --> 02:53:30,400 Speaker 1: The Ladies poll shows up to tall Rico and packson 3057 02:53:30,840 --> 02:53:34,040 Speaker 1: of Slim leads going into tomorrow's election. And before I 3058 02:53:34,120 --> 02:53:35,640 Speaker 1: left the break, one of the questions I asked to you, 3059 02:53:35,760 --> 02:53:38,080 Speaker 1: doctor Wimbush, is the fact that the Republican is a 3060 02:53:38,160 --> 02:53:42,160 Speaker 1: pushing for Jasmine Crockett. They think that her being quote 3061 02:53:42,240 --> 02:53:45,240 Speaker 1: unquote black abrasive, she would turn off a lot of 3062 02:53:45,240 --> 02:53:48,000 Speaker 1: the white voters in Texas. I should make it easier 3063 02:53:48,040 --> 02:53:50,440 Speaker 1: for any of their candidate they select to win. What 3064 02:53:50,560 --> 02:53:51,240 Speaker 1: are your thoughts? 3065 02:53:53,040 --> 02:53:56,240 Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think that the key vote 3066 02:53:57,440 --> 02:54:03,120 Speaker 2: see Texas is turning purple the way Georgia did in 3067 02:54:03,280 --> 02:54:07,040 Speaker 2: the last election and actually the election before. And I 3068 02:54:07,200 --> 02:54:11,800 Speaker 2: think that the Latino vote is going to be determining 3069 02:54:11,959 --> 02:54:14,880 Speaker 2: of that elect Latino's right now learn their lesson the 3070 02:54:15,040 --> 02:54:18,160 Speaker 2: hard way, They're going democratic, and I think they're going 3071 02:54:18,240 --> 02:54:21,600 Speaker 2: to turn out in droves. I think that people want 3072 02:54:22,120 --> 02:54:27,480 Speaker 2: open and honest and just clear, you know, I don't 3073 02:54:27,520 --> 02:54:32,600 Speaker 2: want to say rhetoric, but clear discussion of issues, which 3074 02:54:32,840 --> 02:54:38,840 Speaker 2: Jasmine Crockett offers. And I think in the the I 3075 02:54:38,920 --> 02:54:41,320 Speaker 2: mean all of this stuff that has happened from the 3076 02:54:41,440 --> 02:54:46,840 Speaker 2: affordability crisis that's happening when people go to the grocery store. 3077 02:54:46,959 --> 02:54:49,360 Speaker 2: I think Texas is going to go the way Georgia is, 3078 02:54:49,520 --> 02:54:52,160 Speaker 2: and I think the Jasmine is going to be heading 3079 02:54:52,240 --> 02:54:55,200 Speaker 2: that up. So I think that, you know, I think 3080 02:54:55,320 --> 02:54:59,879 Speaker 2: that it was a shame that Colbert did what he did, 3081 02:55:00,200 --> 02:55:05,080 Speaker 2: and you know, Crockett last we even said that they 3082 02:55:05,160 --> 02:55:08,280 Speaker 2: were worried that CBS she was kind of on what 3083 02:55:08,520 --> 02:55:15,360 Speaker 2: CBS said, they were only warning warning Colbert that she 3084 02:55:15,440 --> 02:55:19,199 Speaker 2: would they would have to give equal time to other candidates. 3085 02:55:19,280 --> 02:55:23,560 Speaker 2: And there's a there's another candidate running named Ama the sogn. 3086 02:55:23,720 --> 02:55:24,560 Speaker 6: And they would say that. 3087 02:55:26,040 --> 02:55:28,600 Speaker 2: Colbert would have to have all of them on the show, 3088 02:55:28,920 --> 02:55:32,840 Speaker 2: and that's when Colbert got upset. I think this equal 3089 02:55:32,920 --> 02:55:35,920 Speaker 2: time thing is kind of silly anyway. Newspapers don't have 3090 02:55:36,080 --> 02:55:39,120 Speaker 2: to have it, and other form of media don't have 3091 02:55:39,280 --> 02:55:41,920 Speaker 2: to have it, but they do do it for television. 3092 02:55:42,480 --> 02:55:45,760 Speaker 6: And so I think she's gonna win. And I think 3093 02:55:45,840 --> 02:55:46,600 Speaker 6: she's gonna win this. 3094 02:55:46,720 --> 02:55:52,720 Speaker 2: Primary despite the bumping polls, the tallergo gut after this 3095 02:55:53,320 --> 02:55:57,080 Speaker 2: Colbert controversy, but I still think she's gonna win because 3096 02:55:57,120 --> 02:55:58,360 Speaker 2: of the Latino vote. 3097 02:56:00,040 --> 02:56:01,760 Speaker 1: Away from the top of it, they said she's pulling 3098 02:56:01,840 --> 02:56:05,760 Speaker 1: real well in the major cities al Paso, Dallas, Houston, Austin. 3099 02:56:06,040 --> 02:56:07,520 Speaker 1: But once they say, once you get out of the 3100 02:56:07,560 --> 02:56:11,200 Speaker 1: major urban centers in Texas, that's real red, red red 3101 02:56:12,120 --> 02:56:15,400 Speaker 1: America right there. Do you think she's gonna have some issues. 3102 02:56:16,680 --> 02:56:18,439 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, years. 3103 02:56:18,240 --> 02:56:20,880 Speaker 2: Ago, I went to this what was the name of 3104 02:56:20,920 --> 02:56:24,880 Speaker 2: that town. It's in the Panhandle of Texas. That was 3105 02:56:25,000 --> 02:56:28,040 Speaker 2: like Mississippi. I mean, she's not going to I mean, 3106 02:56:28,080 --> 02:56:30,760 Speaker 2: you look at rural voters in general in this country, 3107 02:56:30,840 --> 02:56:34,000 Speaker 2: which the Democrats have to pay attention to, and they don't. 3108 02:56:36,400 --> 02:56:38,640 Speaker 6: I mean it was Amarilla. 3109 02:56:39,879 --> 02:56:45,879 Speaker 2: You gotta really, you know, extend yourself. Jasmin has been 3110 02:56:46,000 --> 02:56:49,240 Speaker 2: going to all of those places which the Democrats need 3111 02:56:49,400 --> 02:56:53,360 Speaker 2: to do more often. I think that she represents the 3112 02:56:53,520 --> 02:56:59,440 Speaker 2: future of the Democratic Party, just like Iohan Omar Aoc 3113 02:56:59,640 --> 02:57:02,600 Speaker 2: and I do. And I think the Democrats want to 3114 02:57:02,640 --> 02:57:07,760 Speaker 2: stay unto that middle, be more moderate and not go 3115 02:57:08,320 --> 02:57:11,840 Speaker 2: to be more leftist the way the Democratic Party used 3116 02:57:11,879 --> 02:57:14,800 Speaker 2: to be years ago. And I'm gonna say it was 3117 02:57:14,879 --> 02:57:17,320 Speaker 2: all the way to the left, but it was more 3118 02:57:17,400 --> 02:57:20,040 Speaker 2: to the left than it is right now. And Jasmine 3119 02:57:20,040 --> 02:57:21,680 Speaker 2: I think represents. 3120 02:57:21,160 --> 02:57:23,480 Speaker 1: That all right. Thirteen away from the top of the 3121 02:57:23,560 --> 02:57:25,920 Speaker 1: on the Republican side, John Corny, who didn't get support 3122 02:57:25,959 --> 02:57:29,480 Speaker 1: if Donald Trump. He's up against the then of General 3123 02:57:29,520 --> 02:57:31,920 Speaker 1: the state of tarn Ken Paxson, and he's got so 3124 02:57:32,120 --> 02:57:36,879 Speaker 1: many scandals, doctor Wimbush. But yeah, still he's pulling ahead 3125 02:57:36,920 --> 02:57:43,280 Speaker 1: of Corning, the incumbent. Can you explain that. 3126 02:57:47,600 --> 02:57:51,000 Speaker 2: I think it's always amazing to me to see like 3127 02:57:51,160 --> 02:57:56,120 Speaker 2: the so called Christian national is backing the most degenerate candidates, 3128 02:57:56,879 --> 02:58:00,840 Speaker 2: you know, and then you see all these sell scandals. 3129 02:58:00,879 --> 02:58:04,280 Speaker 2: A lot have to do with Republicans and so forth. 3130 02:58:04,720 --> 02:58:09,520 Speaker 2: So I'm not surprised about that. I think Corning is 3131 02:58:09,560 --> 02:58:12,520 Speaker 2: a racist. He has said racist saying but this guy, 3132 02:58:13,600 --> 02:58:17,320 Speaker 2: he's running again with the Attorney general. This guy has 3133 02:58:17,440 --> 02:58:21,879 Speaker 2: scandals to make Watergate look like child's play and really 3134 02:58:22,080 --> 02:58:24,640 Speaker 2: rivals with the President of the United States, has been 3135 02:58:24,760 --> 02:58:28,280 Speaker 2: doing so you know, I'm gonna get my bag of 3136 02:58:28,360 --> 02:58:32,720 Speaker 2: popcorn and look at the you know, election returns tomorrow night. 3137 02:58:34,000 --> 02:58:36,080 Speaker 1: All right, must have been doing the same thing. Twelve 3138 02:58:36,120 --> 02:58:38,720 Speaker 1: away from the Topay, let's go to Pittsburgh Trina's wedding. 3139 02:58:38,760 --> 02:58:42,520 Speaker 1: First on Line three, Grand Rising Trina with doctor Ray Wimbush. 3140 02:58:44,400 --> 02:58:45,080 Speaker 11: Good morning, gentlemen. 3141 02:58:45,120 --> 02:58:47,480 Speaker 12: I just had a real quick question for doctor Winbush, 3142 02:58:47,640 --> 02:58:51,960 Speaker 12: just wondering should African Americans be concerned about our citizenship 3143 02:58:52,320 --> 02:58:54,760 Speaker 12: that both from the Supreme Court is coming up in July. 3144 02:58:56,720 --> 02:59:00,360 Speaker 2: Absolutely, there's no doubt about it, because this is with 3145 02:59:00,600 --> 02:59:05,040 Speaker 2: this birthright you know thing that the Supreme Court is 3146 02:59:05,840 --> 02:59:10,320 Speaker 2: if they say that the birthright clause in the Constitution 3147 02:59:11,400 --> 02:59:16,800 Speaker 2: is unconstitutional, which they could say. They did it with 3148 02:59:16,959 --> 02:59:22,760 Speaker 2: the abortion issue for example, you know, settle President. They 3149 02:59:22,800 --> 02:59:28,320 Speaker 2: could say, well, technically Africans in America were never citizens 3150 02:59:28,400 --> 02:59:32,840 Speaker 2: of this country. That clause was written. Amendment was written 3151 02:59:33,320 --> 02:59:39,400 Speaker 2: right after the Civil War. But you know, I would 3152 02:59:39,600 --> 02:59:42,800 Speaker 2: hope that they do the Submarine Corps do what they 3153 02:59:42,920 --> 02:59:46,840 Speaker 2: did with the tariff issue, and they said, this would 3154 02:59:46,879 --> 02:59:52,280 Speaker 2: be so outrageous that we can't you know, agree to this. 3155 02:59:53,120 --> 02:59:57,600 Speaker 2: But the birthright citizenship that Trump tries to link to 3156 02:59:57,879 --> 03:00:02,560 Speaker 2: undocumented people in this country is really an indirect way 3157 03:00:02,760 --> 03:00:07,400 Speaker 2: of delegitimizing the citizenship of black people in the United 3158 03:00:07,440 --> 03:00:08,480 Speaker 2: States of America. 3159 03:00:10,680 --> 03:00:11,680 Speaker 1: Training do you have a follow up? 3160 03:00:13,080 --> 03:00:16,480 Speaker 12: Yes, I don't think a lot of the civil rights organizations, 3161 03:00:16,600 --> 03:00:18,920 Speaker 12: even black books in general, have don't really concerned about that. 3162 03:00:19,680 --> 03:00:21,800 Speaker 12: And if we don't have citizenship in the country, then 3163 03:00:21,879 --> 03:00:25,160 Speaker 12: we really can't vote. So I would think the citizenship 3164 03:00:25,160 --> 03:00:27,480 Speaker 12: would be more of a concern at this point in 3165 03:00:27,560 --> 03:00:28,920 Speaker 12: time than voting rights. 3166 03:00:30,320 --> 03:00:32,199 Speaker 1: Right, And let me throw this in here, Dr Wambers 3167 03:00:32,200 --> 03:00:35,240 Speaker 1: before you respond to that, because let's talk about this 3168 03:00:35,400 --> 03:00:37,440 Speaker 1: is where they're going to start rounding up black people 3169 03:00:37,480 --> 03:00:40,320 Speaker 1: and sending us back to Africa. That's part of the 3170 03:00:40,400 --> 03:00:44,600 Speaker 1: conspiratorial issue. I'll let you address Trina's question a response 3171 03:00:44,840 --> 03:00:47,040 Speaker 1: on mine as well. Thank you, thank you, Trina. 3172 03:00:48,080 --> 03:00:48,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, both. 3173 03:00:48,680 --> 03:00:52,039 Speaker 2: I mean, just imagine if they say, and they're doing 3174 03:00:52,120 --> 03:00:55,280 Speaker 2: it now with Latio, what if they said, well, you know, 3175 03:00:55,640 --> 03:00:59,600 Speaker 2: black focuses country aren't citizens, we can deport them. And 3176 03:01:00,240 --> 03:01:05,600 Speaker 2: again people'll say conspiratorial theory theorist which was a term, 3177 03:01:05,680 --> 03:01:08,640 Speaker 2: by the way, coined by the CIA, to you know, 3178 03:01:10,200 --> 03:01:13,760 Speaker 2: cast a spursion on the idea of truth. You know, 3179 03:01:14,040 --> 03:01:17,680 Speaker 2: I think that that is a possibility. I got a 3180 03:01:17,760 --> 03:01:22,080 Speaker 2: colleague of mind, Jose Permito Bate down at Maria College. 3181 03:01:22,200 --> 03:01:25,400 Speaker 2: He says, we have to remember, as black people that 3182 03:01:25,560 --> 03:01:31,000 Speaker 2: the United States government is capable of anything. And when 3183 03:01:31,040 --> 03:01:34,520 Speaker 2: you say, and that sounds like a truism, but they 3184 03:01:34,600 --> 03:01:38,400 Speaker 2: are capable of anything. And what we're seeing right now 3185 03:01:38,480 --> 03:01:41,920 Speaker 2: with Trump, he has gone beyond the he's a criminal. 3186 03:01:42,280 --> 03:01:45,959 Speaker 2: He's a criminal, but the United States Supreme Court says 3187 03:01:46,040 --> 03:01:50,520 Speaker 2: that he's immune from prosecution. The Congress, the House of 3188 03:01:50,600 --> 03:01:54,240 Speaker 2: Representatives has said, has said we'll let him do anything, 3189 03:01:54,360 --> 03:01:59,000 Speaker 2: We're going to advocate our role as an equal partner. 3190 03:01:58,640 --> 03:02:00,000 Speaker 6: In governing this country. 3191 03:02:00,520 --> 03:02:03,480 Speaker 2: So if they could do anything, the idea that they 3192 03:02:03,520 --> 03:02:08,480 Speaker 2: would deport Africans, which was a wish of Abraham Lincoln 3193 03:02:08,640 --> 03:02:13,080 Speaker 2: at one time after the Civil War, and you still 3194 03:02:13,160 --> 03:02:14,199 Speaker 2: see this, Phray. 3195 03:02:14,840 --> 03:02:15,960 Speaker 6: Go back to Africa. 3196 03:02:16,080 --> 03:02:19,959 Speaker 2: I just blocked somebody on my Facebook page and said 3197 03:02:20,040 --> 03:02:23,920 Speaker 2: that to me, So I think that you got to say, 3198 03:02:24,120 --> 03:02:27,640 Speaker 2: if we're capable of anything, or this country is capable 3199 03:02:27,720 --> 03:02:31,280 Speaker 2: of anything, the possibility of us being deported from this 3200 03:02:31,400 --> 03:02:34,040 Speaker 2: country is real, all right. 3201 03:02:34,360 --> 03:02:36,640 Speaker 1: Eight away from the top there at Loose checking in 3202 03:02:36,760 --> 03:02:39,480 Speaker 1: from West Palm Beach in Florida is online one Grand Rising, 3203 03:02:39,520 --> 03:02:40,640 Speaker 1: Lou You're on with doctor. 3204 03:02:40,440 --> 03:02:46,359 Speaker 13: Wimbush going around and I'm calling about miss Wmiss Crockett. 3205 03:02:46,760 --> 03:02:50,320 Speaker 13: You know, her record shows that with Israel, she voted 3206 03:02:50,760 --> 03:02:55,199 Speaker 13: every time to send more money to Israel. And I'm wondering, 3207 03:02:56,320 --> 03:02:58,120 Speaker 13: this is what we want to do as black people. 3208 03:02:58,879 --> 03:03:02,200 Speaker 13: Even though she's she's powerful in one way, but if 3209 03:03:02,200 --> 03:03:06,800 Speaker 13: she's supporting Israel that's killing children, and right now, right now, 3210 03:03:06,840 --> 03:03:09,640 Speaker 13: it's getting ready to start World War three, why should 3211 03:03:09,680 --> 03:03:12,720 Speaker 13: we support her If she's supporting a place like Israel. 3212 03:03:13,120 --> 03:03:15,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, rest Nicolas, let's get doctor Wimbish chances. Thank you. 3213 03:03:15,879 --> 03:03:17,760 Speaker 1: Lewis correct, she did vote with APAC. 3214 03:03:17,840 --> 03:03:21,280 Speaker 2: Go ahead, Doc, yeah is he She did vote with 3215 03:03:21,400 --> 03:03:24,120 Speaker 2: APAC on that. And there's a flaw again. We have 3216 03:03:24,320 --> 03:03:28,600 Speaker 2: to be able to critique of people. There is tremendous 3217 03:03:28,640 --> 03:03:32,200 Speaker 2: amount of pressure on black politicians to all line up 3218 03:03:32,640 --> 03:03:37,040 Speaker 2: behind Israel. There's a handful of them like iohan Omar 3219 03:03:37,640 --> 03:03:41,160 Speaker 2: or to leave up in Detroit that don't do that. 3220 03:03:41,400 --> 03:03:42,840 Speaker 2: AOC is another one. 3221 03:03:43,240 --> 03:03:43,800 Speaker 6: But there's a. 3222 03:03:43,920 --> 03:03:48,040 Speaker 2: Tremendous amount of pressure on them to support Israel, and 3223 03:03:48,360 --> 03:03:51,600 Speaker 2: we have to tell them. Look, we've got to give 3224 03:03:51,720 --> 03:03:54,720 Speaker 2: them their support. I don't know if the call her 3225 03:03:54,840 --> 03:03:56,640 Speaker 2: is still on line. I just want to ask him, 3226 03:03:56,760 --> 03:03:58,560 Speaker 2: was he a member of the Republican Party? 3227 03:03:58,680 --> 03:04:02,160 Speaker 1: Though he hung up, But let me ask you this though, 3228 03:04:02,920 --> 03:04:07,320 Speaker 1: Dr Wimbush, how can we instead of our elected officials? 3229 03:04:07,360 --> 03:04:09,920 Speaker 1: And I think brother Ray Funkroy talked this about this 3230 03:04:10,080 --> 03:04:12,960 Speaker 1: quite a minute. We don't support our elected officials. We don't. 3231 03:04:12,959 --> 03:04:15,320 Speaker 1: We don't. We don't fund them so that they have 3232 03:04:15,440 --> 03:04:18,200 Speaker 1: to dance to the page of the piper who pays them. 3233 03:04:18,440 --> 03:04:21,600 Speaker 1: That's probably why why Crockett is doing that, and we 3234 03:04:21,720 --> 03:04:24,400 Speaker 1: see that a lot with most of the Congression of 3235 03:04:24,440 --> 03:04:27,959 Speaker 1: Black Caucus. So the question is why don't we replace them, Well, 3236 03:04:28,320 --> 03:04:30,200 Speaker 1: why don't we have our agencies, Why don't we have 3237 03:04:30,720 --> 03:04:33,440 Speaker 1: supporting them financially so they can do our bidding. 3238 03:04:34,280 --> 03:04:38,040 Speaker 2: No, you're you're an absolutely correct car. You know, I 3239 03:04:38,280 --> 03:04:42,200 Speaker 2: think of a pact. We need to have somebout BIPARC. 3240 03:04:42,520 --> 03:04:45,520 Speaker 2: We'll get some called BYPIP, but we need to have 3241 03:04:45,760 --> 03:04:52,040 Speaker 2: a super powerful lobbying organization that is devoted, totally devoted 3242 03:04:52,320 --> 03:04:56,240 Speaker 2: to raising money for black candidates. And that's not only 3243 03:04:56,360 --> 03:05:00,000 Speaker 2: at the national level like a jet with jazzmin Crockett. 3244 03:05:00,320 --> 03:05:03,640 Speaker 2: That's at the local left that we see a lack 3245 03:05:03,720 --> 03:05:06,720 Speaker 2: of support.
