He basically he 36 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: just likes white folks. That's it. He attacks everybody. But 37 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: his latest attack is on the Muslim community. 38 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 3: Right.

That's ruling calls 42 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 2: for his censure and for his resignation, as well as 43 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: for Speaker Mike Johnson to take away his committee posts 44 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 2: he took see he took office less than a year 45 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: ago following a special election to replace former Representative Mike Walls. 46 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 2: And if they force us to choose the choice between oh, 47 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 2: here it is, he said Sunday on X. 48 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 3: If they force us to choose the choice. 49 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: Between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one. 50 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 3: What man, where did the people get this audastic the right? 51 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: That's what he taketked about dogs, and people say, yeah, 52 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: they'll choose the dogs. People say he'll choose the dogs 53 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: over the Muslims. So but you know, I'm not hearing 54 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 1: a huge backlash from the music Muslim community as well. 55 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: You know, he mentioned that Mike Johnson has been quiet 56 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: and the rest of the Republican members of the Republican Party, 57 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: of course, the President's leader of the party, they've been 58 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: silent too. And what he just said, So does that 59 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: mean they approve or agree with what he says, or 60 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,559 Speaker 1: they're going to sanction him or you know, verbally or privately. 61 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: So far, nothing has happened. 62 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: Right, give him his walking papers. Representative Alexandria O Casia 63 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: Cortes says, this is genuinely one of the most disgusting 64 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 2: statements I've ever seen issue by an American official and man, 65 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 2: and so the House Oversight Community Committee, rather the ranking member, 66 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: Robert Garcia said Johnson should strip or find all of 67 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 2: the committees and assignments and he should be forced to resign. 68 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: But they're all speaking resignation, but it's kind of on 69 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 2: the download kind of yeah. 70 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 4: You know what. 71 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: They hope that it just blow out over because he 72 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: said some more other things as well. He said some 73 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: more reprehensible things in the past about any well, basically 74 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: I got to mention that anything if you're not white, 75 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: Anglo Saxon white, he really doesn't think he deserves to 76 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: be in this country. And he's really been hard on 77 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: the immigration issue. And now he's spoken about black folks 78 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: of course, and then now now he's turning his attention 79 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: to Muslim see islamophobia, if you will, this is what 80 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: he's leading the charge, but it's not what he's doing, Kevin. 81 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: What is the reaction to what he's doing is the 82 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: non reaction, if you will, from from the members of 83 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: the Republican Party. 84 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, silence that in and of itself is its own enemy. 85 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 2: And then silence is implicit with the action. If you 86 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: say nothing, right, you just let it go on. 87 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: And I forgot who's say yeah, and they hope that 88 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: it blows over and people forget about it. And the 89 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: Muslims are because he said and like I said, he 90 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: said to other things that are really atrocious. And it 91 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: just passed away and passed away. But now you know, 92 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,559 Speaker 1: he said, they still some people are speaking up and 93 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see what they what they do well. 94 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: In other news, citing or Wells nineteen eighty four that 95 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: book science fiction, judge orders Trump administration to restore slavery 96 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 2: exhibit that it removed in Philadelphia and exhibit about nine 97 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 2: people enslaved by George Washington must be restored at its 98 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 2: former home in Philadelphia after President Donald Trump's administration took 99 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 2: it down last month. A federal judge whose name's not 100 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 2: in this first paragraph ruled on President's Day that the 101 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,239 Speaker 2: federal holiday, and he said that the city of Philadelphia 102 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: sued in January after the National Park Service removed the 103 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 2: explanatory panels from Independence National Historical Park, the site where 104 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 2: George and Martha Washington lived with nine of their slaves 105 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 2: in the seventeen nineties when Philadelphia was briefly the nation's capital. 106 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 2: What are your feelings on that, Carl? 107 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: You know, I saw the picture on the news when 108 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: and they were taking and down there, they were taking 109 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: them down. But you know, again, we don't know if 110 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: he's going to appeal a judge's decision. So far as 111 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 1: being silent, he's got too many other things on his 112 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: plate to deal with this issue in Philadelphia, and the 113 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: black community in Philadelphia, of course is celebrating. But they knew, 114 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: they knew it was wrong, and they knew, they knew 115 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: what to expect. So it's just it's just another one 116 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: of his, you know, showing us who he really is. 117 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: The question is to the black follows, the black supporters 118 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: of Donald Trump, did they see it? You know? That's 119 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: the question. 120 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 3: Kevin. Sure. 121 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: Now, the issue appears to be that he removed the 122 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 2: statues without and the US District Judge Cynthia Rube says 123 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 2: they must be restored to your original condition at least 124 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 2: until the lawsuit plays out. And whether or not it's 125 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 2: you know, okay, to take down the statue. She prohibited 126 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 2: Trump officials from installing replacements that would explain, according to Trump, 127 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: the truth and sanity of American history. 128 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 3: And was there really sanity back in those days? 129 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: And anyway, So here's the Orwellian quote, as if the 130 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's nineteen eighty four now 131 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 2: existed with its mottol ignorance is strength. This court is 132 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 2: now asked to determine whether the federal government has the 133 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 2: power to disassemble and dissembol historical truths when it has 134 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 2: some domain over historical facts. 135 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 3: And she says it does not. So you can't just 136 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 3: you can't just do it. 137 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: Well, well, so far he has. He's ignored all the 138 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: court rulings from the Supreme Court. You know, just look 139 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: at the Abstein files. He does what he wants. So 140 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: we'll see if he you know, orders him to put 141 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: it back, or if you know, if he just ignored them, 142 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: or just because he's got so much on his plate 143 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: to worry about a sign in Philadelphia. 144 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, man, So, un, let's take a quick look before 145 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 2: we conclude, and take a quick look at African American 146 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 2: history for Black History Month and Did you know the 147 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 2: home security system was invented by a black nurse in 148 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 2: the nineteen sixties. 149 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: Did not? 150 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 2: Her name was Marie van Britton Brown. She was born 151 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 2: in nineteen twenty two in Queens, New York. And picture 152 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 2: this in the sixties crime rate to New York City 153 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: with rising police response times where slow. Marie worked long, 154 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 2: irregular hours as a nurse and her husband, Albert workships too. 155 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 3: They didn't feel safe. 156 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 2: So instead of just worrying about it, she designed a solution. 157 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 3: That's what we do. 158 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 1: Right, that's what we do exactly. 159 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 2: In nineteen sixty six, Marie and her husband created a 160 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 2: home security system that included a camera that could slide 161 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 2: between the peace polls in the door, a monitor inside 162 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 2: the home, a two way microphone for communication, and even 163 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 2: a button that could alert the police I've fallen and 164 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 2: I can't get up type of thing. They received a 165 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: patent in nineteen sixty nine. And what makes this impressive 166 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 2: is if this was decades before ring doorbells, before home surveillance, 167 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 2: even before companies like ADT. The idea of seeing and 168 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 2: speaking to someone at your door without opening it. It 169 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: was revolutionary at the time and not necessarily in splashy headlines, 170 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 2: but in the long term impact. Her invention laid conceptual 171 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 2: groundwork for Mordern closed circuit television security systems used in homes, 172 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 2: apartment buildings, and many of the security systems you are 173 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 2: encountered with today.

Well, some years ago, when my 209 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 5: wife and I both graduated college, we got together. We 210 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 5: thought we were having these great careers as engineers, and 211 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 5: we just lived paycheck to paycheck. It was horrible, and 212 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 5: we started realizing that if we were ever going to 213 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 5: have the life we dreamed of where we were doing 214 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 5: more than just living the work, we would have to 215 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 5: start a business. And we tried five different businesses and failed. 216 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 5: But it was on the sixth one that we finally 217 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 5: met like a millionaire guy. He really knew what he 218 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 5: was doing and he taught us, and that was a difference. 219 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 5: We weren't just guessing, and we became millionaires in three years. 220 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 5: And as being young black and earning money like that, 221 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 5: we it hit us on our purpose. Our purpose has 222 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 5: been to empower this race, help our people, take our 223 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 5: people to the top. And we spent the next decade 224 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 5: literally creating more wealth than our race had generally seen. 225 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,719 Speaker 5: We built one hundred million dollars a year business and 226 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 5: we helped so many black people earn. Now, that was 227 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 5: a good part until the nightmare. And a nightmare was 228 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 5: the fact that despite all this money that we were 229 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 5: bringing into the black community, thinking we were finally solving 230 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 5: the big problem, our people were taking almost every penny 231 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 5: they earned in the black community and taking it right 232 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 5: out of the black community to spend it. We were 233 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 5: horrified when it finally hit us that like ninety seven 234 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 5: percent of all the money that we were helping our 235 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,839 Speaker 5: people earn millions and millions of dollars, was leaving the 236 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 5: race to Macy's and to the mall and to you know, 237 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 5: the red bottom shoes and the Gucci bags and the 238 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 5: fancy cars and the Italian suits. It was unbelievable. Our 239 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 5: race wasn't getting anywhere nowhere, brother, and it broke our 240 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 5: hearts because we realized we hadn't solved anything. We were 241 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 5: just making our bill collectors as a race rich. A 242 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 5: few of us held on our money, the vast majority 243 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 5: just spent it. And we realized we were going to 244 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 5: have to do something else, something new we'd have to 245 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 5: figure out, because it didn't matter if we did a 246 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 5: billion dollars a day in earning and the black community. 247 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 5: If we were still handing away all our money as 248 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 5: a race, we would never become a wealthy, prosperous, free, 249 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 5: independent race, which is what we thought we were doing. 250 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 5: So we went on a search, brother, to figure who 251 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 5: had figured this out, because obviously we hadn't, and obviously 252 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 5: we were missing something. Someone must have figured this out, 253 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 5: and that's where we learned about this amazing African he 254 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 5: was going in Jamaica, this black man named Marcus Mosiah Gardy, 255 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 5: who one hundred years ago faced the same issues, a 256 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 5: race with millions unemployed, a race that at his time 257 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 5: fifty years out of slavery, and we were struggling. He 258 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 5: went all over the world, and so we were struggling everywhere. 259 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 5: And Marcus Garvey, he came up with this very unique 260 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 5: solution to the whole thing that we weren't hearing at 261 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 5: that time, one hundred years ago in history from any 262 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 5: really any of the other leaders. His solution was, let's 263 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 5: build our own nation, Let's build our own businesses, let's 264 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 5: learn how to do everything, let's buy from each other 265 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 5: only you know, let's let's create for ourselves, do for selves. 266 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 3: Make up WYCB traffick. 267 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, And that work that he did change the world. Man. 268 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 5: Ten million of our ancestors joined him to join that 269 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 5: movement in early nineteen hundreds, and by nineteen twenty four, 270 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 5: twenty five to twenty six ten million paying members paid 271 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 5: to join. And it was incredible. 272 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: And doctor Deliana, hold that thought right there. I'll let you, 273 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, share that thought with us. And how you 274 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: got started. If you're just waken up. Family, that's doctor 275 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: Delano Wilson de Barrio. He's got a program called Garvy 276 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: Nation program. This is what he's telling us how it 277 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: all started. You want to hear more reach out to us. 278 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: You got questions for him at eight hundred four or 279 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: five zero seventy eight seventy six and were taking phone calls. 280 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: Next and grand rising family, thanks for waking up with 281 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: us on this Wednesday morning. So huntday, we're halfway through 282 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: the work week. At twenty minutes save after the top 283 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: of they are with our guest, doctor del Zino Delzeno 284 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: Wilson de Barrio, and he's created what he calls the 285 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: Govey and Nation program. He says it was inspired by 286 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: Marcus Govey. So tell Zino, continue to tell us how 287 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: this was conceptualized. First, you saw what was happening with 288 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: Marcus Govey. What made you feel that you could make 289 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: a difference so or embrace what Goviy did and it 290 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: would work with this current group of black folks that 291 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: we have. 292 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 5: Now well, you know we had already united two hundred 293 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 5: and thirty thousand black people and broke every record in 294 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 5: the marketing field, and we brought we built our business 295 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 5: to doing around a million in sales every three days, 296 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 5: and we brought so much money into the black community. 297 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 5: We thought we had solved the problem and that we 298 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 5: were going to create massive wealth. Broke broke, mets would 299 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 5: be over, race would be united. And it didn't happen 300 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 5: simply because everyone was handing the money away and this 301 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 5: was just habit. We didn't know any different. And when 302 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 5: we realized that this man a hundred years ago had 303 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 5: solved this problem and he wrote articles every week, he 304 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 5: this is the most documented movement we'd ever known. The 305 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 5: blueprint was there, and in one hundred years we hadn't 306 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 5: seen it duplicated. We realized that if we really wanted 307 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 5: to live up to our calling to unite our people 308 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 5: and create this wealth, then we were going to have 309 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 5: to finish what Marcus Garvey started. And so we studied, 310 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 5: We traveled around the world, we learned everything we can. 311 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 5: We talked to the elders and what an education, and 312 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 5: that's when we started working on doing it. Realizing that today, 313 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 5: where Marcus Garvey worked to unite us all in one place, 314 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 5: he wanted us to move to Africa. So we could 315 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 5: be together and buy from each other and learn and 316 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 5: do these things. We could do ninety nine percent of 317 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 5: everything he wanted online, and so we started working on 318 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 5: a website. We started working for years. All this engineering 319 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 5: all done for us by us, which is Garby's whole philosophy. 320 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 5: And brother, what we have created here, you know, a 321 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 5: whole team of us black folk all over the world 322 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 5: has really been revolutionary. It's called Garvination dot Com and 323 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 5: it is amazing. Brothers and sisters come on every day 324 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 5: from all over the world. Log in, they create a 325 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 5: free account. You can look at everything. But then if 326 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 5: you want to be a member. Garvey's whole thing was 327 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 5: by black, buy from black businesses. And so once the 328 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 5: members starts buying, black becomes a part of our program. Man, 329 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 5: we have this amazing online nation. We don't put videos 330 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 5: on YouTube so much because we have our own YouTube 331 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 5: inside Garby Nation, our own search engine inside Garby Nation, 332 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 5: our own Amazon type store inside Garby Nation, our own news, 333 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 5: our own events, our own live streams, our own online university. 334 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 5: All the things that Marcus Garvey had one hundred years ago. 335 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 5: This whole team of us we put together. Now, this 336 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 5: whole world on the internet and to see what's created, 337 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 5: to see tens of thousands of black people joining, to 338 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 5: see black people buying from black owned businesses and earning 339 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 5: and working. And there's a game we all play every day. 340 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 5: Garby taught Black history every week and we had over 341 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 5: eleven hundred chapters and they meet every week and have 342 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 5: weekly meetings. So we have Black history every day. And 343 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 5: this is not just say the history from slavery Ford, No, 344 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 5: thousands and thousands of years of rich Black history and 345 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 5: culture that most of our people have never seen, never heard. 346 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 5: And every day black people logne from all over fifteen 347 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 5: minutes a day. We're learning Garvey, we're learning his philosophy, 348 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 5: we're learning black history, we're learning about Africa. We're learning 349 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 5: and it's this whole game to earn points and rewards 350 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 5: and everyone earns from the nation. It's an incredible, incredible program. 351 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: And I got to ask you this because even Garvey 352 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: in his stay, he had these detractors, He had black 353 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: people who wouldn't support him. Right now, you probably have 354 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 1: some black people say it's too black, they don't want 355 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: to get involved with it, it's too cumbersome. What do 356 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: you say to those folks who refuse to get involved 357 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: in something as unifying as this project. 358 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 5: Well, you know, success kind of speaks for itself, and 359 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 5: we actually don't get that that much here because we're 360 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 5: not trying to cater to everyone. This nation. Garbynation dot 361 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 5: Com is for black people who see the tremendous potential 362 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 5: in our race, who realize that as long as we 363 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 5: spend every dollar at Walmart and Amazon and those are 364 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 5: amazing stories with amazing products, and we love it. But 365 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 5: at some point we have to have an ambition as 366 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 5: a race to do more than be a consumer of 367 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 5: what everyone else produces. At some point we have to 368 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 5: dream more, reach for more, try to achieve more than 369 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 5: simply getting up and buying from everyone else's stores, everyone 370 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 5: else's restaurants, buying everyone else's clothes, everyone else's fashions, buying 371 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 5: everything from China. No, we can produce those things like 372 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 5: every other race has done. We can overcome these these 373 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 5: these ideas that say that we can't that we can 374 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 5: only be consumers. No, we can be owners of businesses. 375 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 5: And in garb Nation we have this massive network of 376 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 5: black businesses black consumers all over the world. And now 377 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 5: with the nation finally up and brothers and sisters participating 378 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 5: all over the world. It's I mean, you could possibly 379 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 5: call it like a love fest. It's once a person 380 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 5: joins and actually becomes a member of it, and you 381 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 5: see all the smiling faces and all the success stories 382 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 5: that people are posting, and all of the achievements that 383 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 5: are being created every single day, all the brothers and 384 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 5: sisters that are earning all over the world. It's the 385 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 5: most productive thing in the world. We're recycling millions of 386 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 5: dollars back into the Black race, and so there's not 387 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 5: too much that people can argue with, you know, because 388 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 5: this is all millions that would have gone outside of 389 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 5: the race to others, and we're creating jobs, we're creating freedom, 390 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 5: we're inspiring brothers and sisters to get involved, and it's 391 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 5: growing like a weed. It's changing lives. So for us, 392 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 5: it's not really a problem because people that don't agree 393 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 5: or just don't want to see this kind of thing happen, 394 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 5: they don't join, you know. 395 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: But you know, I mean jumping here at twenty seven 396 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: at the top, because doctor Jeremy Fox is going to 397 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: be here with us tomorrow and those He's going to 398 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 1: address that group too. The people that feel that, why 399 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: if it's white, it's better, you know, and they just 400 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: don't think that that we're able to create or make 401 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: anything that is great. And as Kevin just mentioned, every 402 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: morning he's given us an idea of something that a 403 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: black person invented as part of as we commemorate the 404 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: one anniversary of African Heritage Month or Black History Month, 405 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. Whatever makes me feel good, 406 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: you call it that, but that's what it is. And 407 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: without all these these these inventions that our people did, 408 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: do you do you showcase that as well? Brother del Zeno, 409 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: do you do share that as well? Because folks know, 410 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: we need to know that we create, you know, and 411 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: I don't go through all them, whether it be the 412 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: golf tee or the you know, you know, the gas 413 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: man stopped like you know, the whole nine yards what 414 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: we did. We don't have to mention it because you 415 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: and you know, and most of the listeners who listen 416 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: to us already know all the stuff that we created. 417 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: But you have to sell this to some other groups, 418 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: especially young people, because this is not being taught in schools. 419 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,479 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, no, no, not at all. And that's one 420 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 5: of the great features of Garvy Nation dot Com and 421 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 5: the Garvey Movement even one hundred years ago, because Black 422 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 5: history was not readily accessible one hundred years ago, and 423 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 5: Garvey brought this imagine eleven hundred chapters, ten million members, 424 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 5: one hundred years ago, having weekly meetings. Garvey would write 425 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 5: an agenda, they own their own turning presence. They would 426 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 5: send those agendas out to eleven hundred chapters, and every 427 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 5: Sunday after church in every country, black people would get 428 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 5: together in cities and groups and they would host these 429 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 5: goby meetings and in them everyone would learn Black history. 430 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 5: It united us. We're doing the same thing online. We 431 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,959 Speaker 5: have hundreds and hundreds of lessons. And here's the thing. 432 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 5: Many people know of some of the inptions that we 433 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 5: have invented here in America. There are thousands of years 434 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 5: of history, thousands. You should see some of these lessons 435 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 5: every day. It's another little bite sized snapshot so that 436 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 5: in ten fifteen minutes members can come on and get 437 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 5: enriched with knowledge and inspiration.

Twenty six away from the top of 524 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: a family that, of course, I guess they start to 525 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: say Delzo Wilson de barrio and it's what it's called 526 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: a garvination. Recycling black dollars it's a global event and 527 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,959 Speaker 1: using the Internet to push it. But I'm gonna ask 528 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: you this, Marcuscovey had his detractors and people look like 529 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: us who sold him out. We can't forget that. That's 530 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: part of his demise. Are you concerned us? Some people 531 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: may once they see how successful this is, as successful 532 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: as Marcus Goffy was, they tried to try to pull 533 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: it down and try to figure a way, you know, 534 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: to to make it, to make it fail. Do you 535 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: have any do you have any thoughts about that? 536 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 9: Well? 537 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean you're. 538 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 5: Always gonna have people who don't agree with anything you do. 539 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 5: You know, we've run into that our whole career. When 540 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 5: we started, we were at we had nothing, and when 541 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 5: we started breaking records, we broke every record in the 542 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 5: company we're in. We broke every record in the industry, 543 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 5: and we took the number one position in the game. 544 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 5: No blacks that ever produced what we have produced in 545 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 5: the marketing field. And so the whole way, we had 546 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 5: people telling us you never make it, you're wrong. You know, 547 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 5: you're trying to help black people and that's wrong. That's racist. 548 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 5: You know, it's racist for us to help each other. 549 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 5: So It's beautiful when a Chinese unite and do something 550 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 5: for themselves. It's beautiful when the Italians get together and 551 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 5: do something for themselves, or you know, the Japanese get 552 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 5: together and build, or you have a little Italy, or 553 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 5: you know, it's beautiful when any group gets together and 554 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 5: works on behalf of their own people. But as black people, 555 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 5: it's somehow wrong because we should be serving the masters 556 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 5: that dragged us over here in the first place. No, 557 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 5: that's we don't subscribe to that. We don't agree to it. 558 00:30:58,920 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 11: You always have. 559 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 5: People who who they kind of feel that some but 560 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 5: we don't concern with that. What we do is we 561 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,719 Speaker 5: unite and we produce, and our numbers and the success 562 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 5: and the wealth that we create for so many black 563 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 5: people around the world, it speaks for itself. This is 564 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 5: a successful action. Garvey was the most successful black person 565 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 5: uniting our people, empowering our people, creating jobs. Garvey had 566 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 5: over ten thousand black people working in Garvy businesses and 567 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 5: his government in ten years. No one has ever achieved. 568 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 5: I don't know what black business since in America, at 569 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 5: the very least it employees over ten thousand black people, 570 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 5: and yet Garby had ten thousand people black people on 571 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 5: payroll one hundred years ago, so we're following the greatest 572 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,959 Speaker 5: example of unity. This helps us become more responsible as 573 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 5: a people doing for ourselves. This gets us less reliant 574 00:31:55,600 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 5: on the government for assistance and welfare and all these 575 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 5: different kinds of things that are necessary. But we the 576 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 5: better thing is to get our people to a position 577 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 5: where we can do for self, stand on our own 578 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 5: two feet, create our own build our own businesses, buy 579 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 5: from our own people, become better citizens, you know, contributors 580 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 5: rather than takers. We can do it, man, but it 581 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 5: takes believing in each other and working together. So it's 582 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 5: not everyone's cup of tea, but for the people that 583 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 5: are here, it is a dream come true. 584 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: Right and hold that thought right there. We got to 585 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: check the news in our different cities and we come 586 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: back and learn more about garvin Nation.

He came 636 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 5: to a convention that I was throwing when we were 637 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 5: breaking records in that other company, and I had probably 638 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 5: around five thousand black people in convention center, and he 639 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 5: came him and Al Wellington, his partner, to present Manta 640 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 5: to me. They were just starting They had an idea. 641 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 5: We were already uniting black people by the thousands at 642 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 5: that time. It was around nineteen ninety eight when he 643 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 5: came and I met the brother, but that's the only 644 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 5: time I ever met him, and it was then some 645 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,280 Speaker 5: years later that we learned that he had been assassinated. 646 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 5: So I was definitely inspired by the vision that they 647 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 5: presented to me. I still have the proposal that they 648 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 5: gave me to try to ask me to leave that 649 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 5: what I was doing and then bring all my people 650 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 5: to join them, which was basically just them starting out 651 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 5: with the idea, and it just wasn't a good fit 652 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 5: at the time. But that brother, powerful, powerful, visionary, way 653 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 5: ahead of its time and right on path with what 654 00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 5: we're doing here today. So all of our race, for sure. 655 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 12: One last question is by May you said, prior to 656 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 12: building the governation, you and your wife estaff you, we're 657 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 12: generating black millionaires before. What business was that that you 658 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 12: were producing black millionaires during that time? 659 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 5: We were there, Yeah, no problem, brother. We were a 660 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 5: member of a network marketing company called ACN. We joined 661 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 5: in nineteen ninety three. We became their top producers from 662 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 5: nineteen ninety four and stayed number one in that company 663 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 5: and broke all the records in the network marketing industry 664 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 5: into the two thousands, and that's when we left them. 665 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 5: By two thousand and four, we realized we couldn't free 666 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 5: black people being a part of a non black company. 667 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 5: We were earning pennies compared to the millions we were 668 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 5: bringing in. So we realized we were going to have 669 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,839 Speaker 5: to take full responsibility and get together with our own 670 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 5: people and build something for ourselves where our race could 671 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 5: keep one hundred percent of everything. And that's the journey 672 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 5: that has let us through many projects, seminars all over 673 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 5: the world we've done and then commended twice by US 674 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 5: Congress or not commended but recognized, I should say, for 675 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,319 Speaker 5: our work in educating black people, teaching seminars at universities, 676 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 5: all these different types of things, but it all leads 677 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,839 Speaker 5: to here Marcus Garvey, who did way more than we've 678 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 5: ever done and left a blueprint, and we feel that 679 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 5: we're finally the place that we can apply all this 680 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 5: to finish this work and truly uplift our race. 681 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Brother G.

And you know, we're not interested in criticizing 711 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 5: the government and calling out or doing any things that 712 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,800 Speaker 5: attract that kind of unwanted attention.

Now we have business seminars, business training. 747 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,800 Speaker 5: We do everything we can now to supply products to 748 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 5: Garvy Nation though, which is you know, this incredible thing 749 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,759 Speaker 5: like stri Kakula is one of our top you know, 750 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 5: six sigure money earners. Here we sell his products, his 751 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,800 Speaker 5: black history products. We look for unique businesses because a 752 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,239 Speaker 5: lot applible. We can only approve a few a year. 753 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,240 Speaker 5: And the thing that we got to understand, Marcus Garvey 754 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:23,719 Speaker 5: built this program to create jobs for black people, to 755 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 5: create factories to take to create industries, to put our 756 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 5: people to work. I would easily say ninety percent of 757 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 5: the black businesses who say, oh my god, Garb Nation 758 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 5: is incredible, can you sell my product? I would easily 759 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 5: say ninety percent don't make their products. They buy them 760 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 5: from China or Pakistan or Vietnam or some other country 761 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,359 Speaker 5: and then put put their label on it. And that's 762 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 5: that doesn't fit our definition. We can't say if we 763 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,319 Speaker 5: sell a million of those Chinese dresses, who gets the expertise, 764 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 5: who learns manufacturing, who gets all the money, who hires people? 765 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 5: All that's going to China. So here we work with 766 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,759 Speaker 5: black businesses that actually make their own products, create it, 767 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,520 Speaker 5: go through the time, because we're looking to do to 768 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 5: build a nation is to create expertise, to create production, 769 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 5: to take that one or two person business and turn 770 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 5: it into a twenty or thirty person business or two 771 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 5: or three hundred person business over time. So we have 772 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 5: a whole process. A person has to go through to 773 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,439 Speaker 5: be approved to be a supplier of products. But once 774 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 5: you get an approved supplier, the whole nation now lines 775 00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,800 Speaker 5: up to buy from you. So it's a pretty powerful program. 776 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 6: And boyd we hold right. 777 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 1: There and help us once we've been approved. Now this, 778 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 1: of course, you got to market the product. Do you 779 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,839 Speaker 1: help the new customers with marketing so the people will 780 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 1: know because it's kind of like the Internet. There's a 781 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:56,400 Speaker 1: lot of stuff out there, but if you don't know 782 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 1: where it is, you want know where to find it, 783 00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 1: don what to look for, So you help people like that. 784 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 5: Yeah, we have our own marketing team, a marketing opportunity 785 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,120 Speaker 5: that black people join and they get trained and they 786 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 5: earn tons of money marketing. Versus paying YouTube to run 787 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 5: the ads or Instagram to run ads, just basically taking 788 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,800 Speaker 5: black money and handing it to a white company, we 789 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 5: don't do that here. We pay black people that are 790 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,439 Speaker 5: part of our own marketing team sales commissions for every 791 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 5: person they refer. So we have people calling people all 792 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,879 Speaker 5: over the world to let them know about Garb Nation 793 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,239 Speaker 5: every day. And so by doing it ourselves, we gain 794 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 5: the expertise, we gain the knowledge, and all the money 795 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,920 Speaker 5: stays in the race. And that's one of the main 796 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 5: ways we're able to recycle all these millions back into 797 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 5: the race because we do everything ourselves, even the marketing. 798 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 5: And yes, that's the key to bringing sales to black businesses. 799 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 5: Someone needs to tell them about it, tell them the benefits, 800 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,280 Speaker 5: read them a success story, share with them the excitement 801 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,759 Speaker 5: and how the product works and what people saying about it. 802 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 5: And so marketing is a big, big, big, big thing, 803 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 5: and we rather go through the hard thing of doing 804 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 5: it ourselves, and you know, and doing it this way 805 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 5: then just paying some other non black business to do 806 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 5: it for us, which just makes us completely dependent and 807 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 5: keeps us in the same place that we started five away. 808 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:20,719 Speaker 1: From the top. There we'd come up on a break 809 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,759 Speaker 1: where we've got to check the trafficing weather on different cities. 810 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 1: If you just waken up, family, I guess it's LZ. 811 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,480 Speaker 1: Wilson de Barrio. He's an actress out of Atlanta, Georgia, 812 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 1: and he's was created what he called the Carving Nation 813 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,480 Speaker 1: program or what it does, it's it's a place where 814 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 1: people like you and me who are listening to us 815 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 1: right now can go and shop if you need anything else. 816 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,759 Speaker 1: And there is always services as well. I mean if 817 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 1: you're looking for an attorney or a dentist or a doctor, 818 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 1: is this a place to go as well?

They want us to sell their products for them, 934 00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,080 Speaker 5: but we're very very strict. We only accept a few years, 935 00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:54,800 Speaker 5: and we have to go through a whole due diligence. 936 00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:56,840 Speaker 5: You know, we got to make sure they are what 937 00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:58,440 Speaker 5: they say they are. We got to make sure that, 938 00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,000 Speaker 5: you know, if we build a relationship with them, that 939 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:05,279 Speaker 5: we're going to be able to grow it together. You know. 940 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,440 Speaker 5: So we have to test every product they send.

Next step, don't let's bring it on that 1016 00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,400 Speaker 1: guest Kim has and grand rising Kim, welcome to the program. 1017 00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:53,640 Speaker 1: Good morning, all right, hold on nada my Spanish that 1018 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,440 Speaker 1: I got, you know, growing up in the Bronx and 1019 00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:58,120 Speaker 1: you get to load the Spanish because we have a 1020 00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,960 Speaker 1: lot of Puerto Rican friends. But family this is I guess. 1021 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,279 Speaker 1: There's Kim Haas and Kim. Kim's a world travel if 1022 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:05,960 Speaker 1: you will, and she's going to take us to some 1023 00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,840 Speaker 1: of the Afro Latino countries. You know, a lot of 1024 00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,600 Speaker 1: times we're for Latino brothers and sisters and we don't 1025 00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,400 Speaker 1: get to interact with them because of the language barrier. 1026 00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:18,680 Speaker 1: We're competing over a white person's language. For us, it's English, 1027 00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:21,240 Speaker 1: for them it's Spanish, but it's still not our language. 1028 00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:24,960 Speaker 1: And language, one great scholar told me, is the cornerstone 1029 00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:26,880 Speaker 1: of our culture. So that's one of the things that 1030 00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,880 Speaker 1: we don't have as a people, a universal language that 1031 00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,200 Speaker 1: if you're in Haiti, for Angola, you're free in London, 1032 00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,400 Speaker 1: if you're in Brazil, if you're black, you can we 1033 00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,239 Speaker 1: can communicate with each other. That's so I'm sort of 1034 00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,720 Speaker 1: jealous of the Haitians because they've got their creole language. 1035 00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 1: They can they can have the conversations with themselves. But Kim, 1036 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,240 Speaker 1: before I go any further, give us some of your background. 1037 00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:50,719 Speaker 1: How did you get started doing this, Oh boy, thank. 1038 00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:52,440 Speaker 11: You and thank you so much for having me. And 1039 00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 11: as I said, good morning, Bonzia, good morning in Portuguese 1040 00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:01,640 Speaker 11: to our listeners. So you know, I tell the story 1041 00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:05,880 Speaker 11: that my grandmother, Cassie took me to She was originally 1042 00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:09,560 Speaker 11: from South Carolina and she loved to travel, and she 1043 00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 11: grew up in the segregated South, and she loved to travel. 1044 00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,440 Speaker 11: And what I love about my grandmother is that she 1045 00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:22,000 Speaker 11: didn't let you know her upbringing in the South, the 1046 00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:27,640 Speaker 11: segregated South, limiting views of who and where people of 1047 00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,520 Speaker 11: African sent African Americans could go and what they could do. 1048 00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,160 Speaker 11: I mean, she didn't allow those to really think into 1049 00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:37,520 Speaker 11: her psyche and she loved to travel. And so when 1050 00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:41,400 Speaker 11: I was six or seven, she took me to Acapulico, Mexico, 1051 00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:47,240 Speaker 11: and I remember being in the hotel lobby and someone 1052 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,239 Speaker 11: stranger came up to me and said, would you like 1053 00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,240 Speaker 11: to learn how to count your numbers? One to twenty 1054 00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:57,200 Speaker 11: uno avente in Spanish? And so I was like sure, 1055 00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:02,360 Speaker 11: And I say, from that moment on, I was hooked. 1056 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:07,040 Speaker 11: I wanted more Spanish, more language, more travel. I couldn't 1057 00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,320 Speaker 11: wait to go to the next place to go with 1058 00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:13,640 Speaker 11: my grandmother, and I just loved. From that moment on, 1059 00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,919 Speaker 11: I was just in love with travel. And I wonder 1060 00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,480 Speaker 11: how many of your listeners, you know, feel the same way. 1061 00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:23,640 Speaker 11: Got bitten by the travel bug and you just you 1062 00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:28,000 Speaker 11: want to soak up every experience and culture and meet 1063 00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:31,120 Speaker 11: so many wonderful people. And so that's what happened. And 1064 00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:35,840 Speaker 11: so from that moment on, I studied Spanish in elementary 1065 00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:38,760 Speaker 11: school and middle school and high school, and I was 1066 00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,720 Speaker 11: a Spanish major in undergraduate school. And I lived in 1067 00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:46,120 Speaker 11: Spain duringior year in college, and I studied Spanish in 1068 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,880 Speaker 11: graduate school. So I really at this point can't remember 1069 00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:53,160 Speaker 11: a time in my life when I wasn't connected to 1070 00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:55,960 Speaker 11: Spanish and involved in travel. 1071 00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, thirteen half the tough day family. Kime Houses she's 1072 00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,480 Speaker 1: a world travel if you will. But she's going to 1073 00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,040 Speaker 1: take us on the tour of Afrol Latino countries. You know, 1074 00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:08,240 Speaker 1: it's part of the daspar the brothers and sisters who 1075 00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,480 Speaker 1: speak Spanish. You know, for us, it's it's just Spanish. 1076 00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,520 Speaker 1: But from what I understand, there's some different dialects in 1077 00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:17,280 Speaker 1: Puerto Rican Spanish is different from the Mexican Spanish, from 1078 00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,920 Speaker 1: other countries who speak Spanish. Is there any truth to 1079 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:22,720 Speaker 1: that it came and can you tell the difference? 1080 00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:27,520 Speaker 11: Yeah, so that's really interesting what you just mentioned. Yes, 1081 00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:30,800 Speaker 11: so just like we'll give an example, maybe this will 1082 00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:34,640 Speaker 11: help people. Just like with English, right, so we have 1083 00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,880 Speaker 11: a version of English that we speak in the United States, 1084 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,680 Speaker 11: and if you go to London, if you go to England, 1085 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,720 Speaker 11: there may be in general you can understand someone from 1086 00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,880 Speaker 11: Great Britain, but they're going to be words and maybe 1087 00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:51,480 Speaker 11: their accent is different from ours. Right, So it's the 1088 00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:53,160 Speaker 11: same kind of thing. Or if you go to Jamaica, 1089 00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,320 Speaker 11: you know they're speaking English too, but they are going 1090 00:58:56,400 --> 00:59:01,400 Speaker 11: to be words vocabulary saying that that we may not understand, 1091 00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:04,920 Speaker 11: but in general you can understand one another. So it's 1092 00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:08,200 Speaker 11: that same kind of thing. So in Latin America, any 1093 00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:12,960 Speaker 11: Spanish speaking country in general, usually they can understand someone 1094 00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:16,840 Speaker 11: from you know, Puerto Rico, can understand someone from Uruguay 1095 00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:21,440 Speaker 11: or someone from Mexico. That there are going to be nuances, 1096 00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:26,120 Speaker 11: there are going to be words vocabulary that are going 1097 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:30,880 Speaker 11: to be different. And that's what makes I think travel 1098 00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:34,280 Speaker 11: also very interesting and learning from other people is that 1099 00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:38,800 Speaker 11: you don't have to let those things that are different, 1100 00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:42,120 Speaker 11: make them things that hold us back from getting to 1101 00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:45,880 Speaker 11: connect with each other. Take it as an opportunity to learn, 1102 00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:49,600 Speaker 11: and that's what I think makes travel so interesting. 1103 00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,080 Speaker 5: Otherwise we're all just the same. 1104 00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I be boring, wouldn't it? But let me ask 1105 00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,720 Speaker 1: you ask you this, Kim, how do you deal with 1106 00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:00,520 Speaker 1: the slang though? Because we've got slang here in English, 1107 01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:03,080 Speaker 1: and I'm sure they got this slang in Spanish and 1108 01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:08,480 Speaker 1: Cuban slang probably different, Dominican Republic slang and Puerto Rican slang. 1109 01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:10,240 Speaker 1: So help us out. How do you deal with that 1110 01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,520 Speaker 1: when you travel to these different areas? And I'll tell 1111 01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:13,720 Speaker 1: you what I'm looking at the clock. We got to 1112 01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:15,240 Speaker 1: take a short break and we come back. I'll let 1113 01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:15,920 Speaker 1: you respond to that. 1114 01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:16,560 Speaker 3: Family. 1115 01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,560 Speaker 1: You two can get in our conversation with our guests 1116 01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:20,840 Speaker 1: and Kim HAPs she's just sort of a world traveler 1117 01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:22,680 Speaker 1: and she's taking us on a tour of Afro Latino 1118 01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:26,240 Speaker 1: countries this morning as we continue to unite the Dashpora. 1119 01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,360 Speaker 1: You can reach her at eight hundred four or five 1120 01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:31,400 Speaker 1: zero seventy eight seventy six and we'll take it phone 1121 01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,920 Speaker 1: calls next.

Before we left 1127 01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,160 Speaker 1: for the break, I was asking you about the slang 1128 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:57,960 Speaker 1: if you're speaking with a Mexicano or Cubano or what 1129 01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,680 Speaker 1: a Rican, they've got that and they won't their own slang, 1130 01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:03,160 Speaker 1: especially the young people the street signing, I mean change 1131 01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:05,440 Speaker 1: its just like wait, do can you pick that up? 1132 01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:06,720 Speaker 1: Is it easy for you to pick that up? 1133 01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:10,760 Speaker 14: When you have in these conversations so it's you know, 1134 01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,200 Speaker 14: you're it's so interesting that you mentioned it. 1135 01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:19,040 Speaker 11: Then it depends, and sometimes I will prior to going 1136 01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:22,000 Speaker 11: to a country, you know, I'll ask people from the country, 1137 01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,360 Speaker 11: especially if I know you know certain people, I'll ask them, 1138 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,800 Speaker 11: are there words? Are there sayings that I want to 1139 01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,920 Speaker 11: stay away from? Or tell me what you know it's 1140 01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,680 Speaker 11: commonly what are some of the common terms now or 1141 01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,760 Speaker 11: slang that's used, And especially if I want to make 1142 01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:41,040 Speaker 11: sure that I'm not saying something offensive because there could 1143 01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:43,960 Speaker 11: be a word that in one country and I was thinking, 1144 01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:47,240 Speaker 11: you know, may mean something that is fine and normal, 1145 01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,240 Speaker 11: and if you use it in another country, it could 1146 01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:52,360 Speaker 11: be something totally offensive. So a lot of times I'll 1147 01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:56,880 Speaker 11: ask prior to traveling are their words? Are there sayings 1148 01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,200 Speaker 11: that I want to stay away from?

But you're 1152 01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:09,360 Speaker 11: absolutely correct. 1153 01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,040 Speaker 8: I mean, just like we have you know in the 1154 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:12,840 Speaker 8: United States. 1155 01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:17,440 Speaker 11: Here words and slang and terminology that people are using 1156 01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,960 Speaker 11: that changes. Remember all this be evolved and there are 1157 01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:25,120 Speaker 11: terms and slang that I would use or maybe you 1158 01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:29,080 Speaker 11: know people in my generation that now say, my daughter, 1159 01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:30,640 Speaker 11: I mean, she looks at me like, wait, what are 1160 01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:31,040 Speaker 11: you saying? 1161 01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:32,640 Speaker 10: Well, what word is that you know? 1162 01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:38,680 Speaker 11: So it's the same thing. Language vocabulary evolves and changes, 1163 01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:42,160 Speaker 11: and you see the same thing in Latin America, and 1164 01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,400 Speaker 11: you know in Spanish for example, or in Portuguese in 1165 01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,200 Speaker 11: Brazil and so and just as a reminder to those 1166 01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:53,760 Speaker 11: that remember, in Brazil people speak Portuguese and not Spanish. 1167 01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:56,680 Speaker 1: True, And I've been to Brazil. Had a great time 1168 01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:58,480 Speaker 1: in Brazil twenty two half the top of the hour. 1169 01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:01,800 Speaker 1: But let me ask you this though, because uh, Trump 1170 01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:03,919 Speaker 1: was speaking to Celensky and he kept telling you don't 1171 01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:05,960 Speaker 1: have the cards. You didn't have the cards, you know, 1172 01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:09,880 Speaker 1: and he thought Celencia understood what he meant. But that's 1173 01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,080 Speaker 1: a phrase for it when the bills saying like kick 1174 01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,560 Speaker 1: the bucket and all that kind of things. But because 1175 01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:17,880 Speaker 1: you it's not your first language, you interpreted literally. So 1176 01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:19,880 Speaker 1: he was thinking of cards. So we were not playing cards, 1177 01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,080 Speaker 1: you know, but he did it went over his head 1178 01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,400 Speaker 1: and Trump was, you don't have the car here? What 1179 01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,600 Speaker 1: is he talking about? You know, he's thinking about a 1180 01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:27,440 Speaker 1: deck of cards. 1181 01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:29,400 Speaker 7: So is that is that? 1182 01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:31,880 Speaker 1: Do you even have that issue too in the in 1183 01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,320 Speaker 1: the Spanish speaking Latino countries? 1184 01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:35,840 Speaker 5: Sure? 1185 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,080 Speaker 11: I mean, as as you said, someone who is not 1186 01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:42,520 Speaker 11: a native speaker, there are always words and phrases that 1187 01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:45,040 Speaker 11: I'm going to learn because I didn't grow up in 1188 01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:48,560 Speaker 11: a Latin American and a Spanish speaking country. So absolutely, 1189 01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:53,000 Speaker 11: and you know what you just learned by doing and 1190 01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:56,040 Speaker 11: by speaking. There's no other way to get around it. 1191 01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,280 Speaker 11: I mean, you have to put yourself out there and 1192 01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:02,400 Speaker 11: so for any of our listeners who are either learning 1193 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:06,280 Speaker 11: Spanish or learning Portuguese in particular because of Latin America, 1194 01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,720 Speaker 11: or you're thinking about just learning another language. That's just 1195 01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,920 Speaker 11: an example of And it happens all the time. I mean, 1196 01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:15,120 Speaker 11: it happens to me still, you know, after all these 1197 01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:19,520 Speaker 11: years of traveling, because I'm not a native speaker, there 1198 01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:23,120 Speaker 11: are always words and sayings that I'm going to learn, 1199 01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:27,240 Speaker 11: and sometimes you do. You find yourself in situations where 1200 01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:30,360 Speaker 11: you might say something or you just don't understand, or you, 1201 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:35,600 Speaker 11: like you said, may take something literally because of someone 1202 01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:38,560 Speaker 11: the way they're speaking or what they've said, when you're 1203 01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:43,120 Speaker 11: not realizing that it has a totally different significance because 1204 01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:45,240 Speaker 11: you didn't grow up in the language. And so and 1205 01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:45,840 Speaker 11: it's okay. 1206 01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:49,600 Speaker 4: I mean, I think if you go in with the 1207 01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:54,240 Speaker 4: idea that you're there to learn, that you have some humility, 1208 01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:56,520 Speaker 4: that you're not going there as hey, I'm from the 1209 01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:59,680 Speaker 4: United States, and whatever I say goes, and you know 1210 01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:04,240 Speaker 4: that you're there to go and experience and learn, and 1211 01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:07,760 Speaker 4: you will have I think an amazing time. 1212 01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:11,040 Speaker 11: And if you learn just a few words, I think 1213 01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:13,800 Speaker 11: that goes a long way. If people see that you're trying, 1214 01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:17,120 Speaker 11: and that you stay oh lah or good morning, buenos 1215 01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:22,280 Speaker 11: bis or good afternoon in Portuguese botargi, and you know, 1216 01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:27,800 Speaker 11: thank you, gracias over to God. That goes a long way, 1217 01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:32,240 Speaker 11: and you listen, people appreciate it. My general, you know, 1218 01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:36,080 Speaker 11: sense and feeling after years of traveling is that people 1219 01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,920 Speaker 11: just appreciate you trying and that you don't just go 1220 01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:41,640 Speaker 11: there speaking English and speak English, and you know, even 1221 01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:44,520 Speaker 11: if you're visiting a Latin American country. So I think 1222 01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:49,160 Speaker 11: all those things make a great difference. And people see 1223 01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:51,560 Speaker 11: that you're learning and that you don't know, you're not 1224 01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:55,040 Speaker 11: going to know everything, and that's okay, all right. 1225 01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:56,880 Speaker 1: Twenty five the Tom Dawn family. You want to get 1226 01:05:56,880 --> 01:06:00,560 Speaker 1: in on this conversation we're talking about after Latia, you know, countries. 1227 01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:02,480 Speaker 1: Now you can reach us at eight hundred four five 1228 01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,760 Speaker 1: zero eight seventy six, and Kim, let's take a tour 1229 01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:07,680 Speaker 1: some of the country. Let's start in the Dominican Republic 1230 01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:10,800 Speaker 1: the DR, because I understand that many other people in 1231 01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:14,040 Speaker 1: the DR they feel that they're Spanish first and Black second. 1232 01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:16,720 Speaker 1: Is that what you got when you visit it there? 1233 01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:20,400 Speaker 11: Yes, that's what I got, And well, let me say this, 1234 01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:25,360 Speaker 11: let me clarify, So the Dominican Republic, each country has 1235 01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:31,680 Speaker 11: a very you know, their own unique culture and their 1236 01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:36,040 Speaker 11: own and I'll start. Let me just go back a 1237 01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:39,600 Speaker 11: little bit. So people often ask, oh, well, or they'll say, like, 1238 01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:44,520 Speaker 11: the Dominican Republic is kind of known for denying its 1239 01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:48,800 Speaker 11: African roots. That's not every Dominican is not going to 1240 01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:52,200 Speaker 11: be very clear about that, but in general, there is 1241 01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:54,200 Speaker 11: a sense of denial. 1242 01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:55,000 Speaker 7: There is. 1243 01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:59,520 Speaker 11: You can see someone who you know, scenotypically looks like 1244 01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,600 Speaker 11: they're of African descent. Obviously for me, I'm a dark 1245 01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:05,440 Speaker 11: skinned black woman, and if you saw me on the street, 1246 01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:07,800 Speaker 11: you would say, oh, you know, a black woman. But 1247 01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:14,280 Speaker 11: in the Dominican Republic there is a great sense, again 1248 01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:19,760 Speaker 11: generalizing of denial of their African roots. 1249 01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:21,360 Speaker 5: So many will. 1250 01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:25,120 Speaker 11: Claim to be Indian, Kayino, the Indians of that area, 1251 01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:28,320 Speaker 11: or I don't know, some other but not black. Let's 1252 01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,760 Speaker 11: just say anything else but not black. And I remember 1253 01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,440 Speaker 11: years ago, and I was just talking to someone from 1254 01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:38,800 Speaker 11: the Dominican Republics, a young woman the last week, and 1255 01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:44,120 Speaker 11: we're talking about actually developing a tour that centers around 1256 01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:48,120 Speaker 11: the country's African roots and What I love is that 1257 01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:53,040 Speaker 11: she is found to be black and she wants to 1258 01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:56,680 Speaker 11: spread the goodness of that in her country and let 1259 01:07:56,760 --> 01:08:00,280 Speaker 11: people know that. The country has some work to do, 1260 01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:04,080 Speaker 11: no doubt about it. But there are people and communities 1261 01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,800 Speaker 11: there in the Dominican Republic who are working. 1262 01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:07,000 Speaker 7: To do that. 1263 01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:08,040 Speaker 5: And so. 1264 01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:12,440 Speaker 11: What I think in the Dominican Republic because of its 1265 01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:15,800 Speaker 11: history and each you know, each country has, you know 1266 01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:20,280 Speaker 11: its history with Spain as being a former colony. Remember 1267 01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:23,080 Speaker 11: how people of African descent back to Latin America is 1268 01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:27,920 Speaker 11: through the Transatlantic slave Route. So while I think in 1269 01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:31,200 Speaker 11: the United States, so many of us realize are learned 1270 01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:36,640 Speaker 11: about the history of kidnapping people of African descent Africans 1271 01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:40,560 Speaker 11: from Africa, mostly the western coast of Africa during the 1272 01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:45,559 Speaker 11: Translantic slave Route. So fifteen hundred, sixteen hundred, seventeen eighteen hundreds, 1273 01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:51,120 Speaker 11: the great majority of people of African descent went of 1274 01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:58,479 Speaker 11: Africans went to Latin America, the Caribbean, Central America, Latin America, 1275 01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:02,639 Speaker 11: so twelve the twelve percent went to what is North America, 1276 01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:06,480 Speaker 11: the United States and eventually Canada, but the great majority 1277 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:11,920 Speaker 11: went to Latin America, Central America, Caribbean that region. So 1278 01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:15,240 Speaker 11: that's why you have so many people who are African descent, 1279 01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,280 Speaker 11: and you can see it in their hair, in their 1280 01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:22,840 Speaker 11: facial features, the color of their skin, and so many 1281 01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:28,240 Speaker 11: attributes of what we consider someone of African descent. And 1282 01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:30,200 Speaker 11: so that's how number one people got there. 1283 01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:32,200 Speaker 8: So I just want to give some context to that. 1284 01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:35,960 Speaker 11: But in the Dominican republics, for example, which you were 1285 01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:41,439 Speaker 11: asking about, because of the history the dictatorship through Heil 1286 01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:48,160 Speaker 11: who denied, heavily denied people of African descent, over time, 1287 01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:53,720 Speaker 11: the country has just completely denied its African roots. And 1288 01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:58,880 Speaker 11: then being on the border and having sharing Hispaniola with Haiti, 1289 01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:03,680 Speaker 11: to remember, Medican Republic and Haiti share that island. There 1290 01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:09,200 Speaker 11: is just tremendous. It's just saddening of treatment of Patians. 1291 01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:13,600 Speaker 11: There's a massacre of Haitians many years ago. And so 1292 01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:20,719 Speaker 11: there is a very prevalent anti blackness in the Dominican Republic. Again, 1293 01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:23,240 Speaker 11: it's not all Dominicans, so I want to be very 1294 01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:26,800 Speaker 11: clear about it, but it is pervasive. But at the 1295 01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:31,360 Speaker 11: same time, we are seeing over the years a lot 1296 01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:34,200 Speaker 11: of people who are saying, you know, hey, I am 1297 01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:38,439 Speaker 11: black and I am proud of it and sharing the 1298 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:41,720 Speaker 11: goodness because what I like to talk about is so 1299 01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:45,240 Speaker 11: much of what people enjoy in Latin America comes from 1300 01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:51,679 Speaker 11: people of African descent, comes from the enslaved Africans their 1301 01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:57,679 Speaker 11: descendants creating tremendous culture and also not just a culture 1302 01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:01,880 Speaker 11: in terms of the arts, cuisine, but the infrastructure. And 1303 01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:04,439 Speaker 11: I can get into that as well. So I put 1304 01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:08,040 Speaker 11: I often put countries on a spectrum in terms of 1305 01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:14,599 Speaker 11: their awareness consciousness of being black, of having African roots, 1306 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:19,960 Speaker 11: Afro descending communities, and unfortunately the Dominican republics I put 1307 01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:24,400 Speaker 11: on one end in terms of just a general denial. 1308 01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:28,040 Speaker 11: But things are changing. And if I could just add 1309 01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:30,760 Speaker 11: one thing I just saw the other day, and I 1310 01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:33,400 Speaker 11: was just speaking yesterday and I just saw the other day. 1311 01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:38,080 Speaker 11: Last week, I was in the subway in Manhattan and 1312 01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:42,559 Speaker 11: I saw the Dominican Republic. Domini Kana was the promotion 1313 01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:45,120 Speaker 11: and they have built they had posters all along the 1314 01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:52,439 Speaker 11: subway and it was so wonderful to see on these 1315 01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:57,320 Speaker 11: images throughout the subway of people who were obviously black 1316 01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:00,760 Speaker 11: as part of this, and I think it. 1317 01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:01,679 Speaker 13: Was Domini Kanas. 1318 01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:04,280 Speaker 11: And then it's say Dominican Republic and something like it 1319 01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,360 Speaker 11: smiles that you are smile back at you. And people 1320 01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:11,960 Speaker 11: that I would have never seen featured in ads who 1321 01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:16,240 Speaker 11: look like people have obviously African descent. So the Dominican 1322 01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:21,280 Speaker 11: Republic would you know, invariably just promote white people. And 1323 01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:26,800 Speaker 11: finally I was seeing in promotion black people and it 1324 01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:28,720 Speaker 11: was it was I was astonished. 1325 01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:30,160 Speaker 8: I stopped that, you know, it took. 1326 01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:33,080 Speaker 11: A look again and they were beautiful, and so that. 1327 01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:33,840 Speaker 15: Was great to see. 1328 01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,759 Speaker 11: And we could talk about, you know, perhaps the reasoning 1329 01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:38,439 Speaker 11: behind this, but at. 1330 01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:42,160 Speaker 14: Least in terms of images, there was a change all 1331 01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:44,040 Speaker 14: right twenty eight away from the top there our family, 1332 01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:47,040 Speaker 14: Kim Houses, I guess then we're talking about Afro Latinos 1333 01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,240 Speaker 14: and markat Anaheim send many question for you, Kim. 1334 01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:51,760 Speaker 1: And before that, let me just you know, most of 1335 01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:53,680 Speaker 1: the folks who listened to this program already know that, 1336 01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:56,320 Speaker 1: you know, the brothers and sisters in the Caribbean or 1337 01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:59,040 Speaker 1: in South America, even if they speak Spanish. You know, 1338 01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:02,000 Speaker 1: we all took the same trip with just different ships, 1339 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:04,840 Speaker 1: and so we stopped at different ports, so we understand that. 1340 01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:07,840 Speaker 1: But I'm not sure if that most of those in 1341 01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:11,200 Speaker 1: the in those Latino Afro Latinos understand that. Did you 1342 01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:15,320 Speaker 1: think that, say, for example, the Cubanos or the Haicanos, 1343 01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:19,080 Speaker 1: they did they embrace the blacks in their in their countries? 1344 01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,360 Speaker 1: Can you can you tell when you visit? 1345 01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:21,880 Speaker 5: Yeah? 1346 01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:24,120 Speaker 11: No, I'm so glad that again that you mentioned that. 1347 01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:27,320 Speaker 11: And I think this speaks to education, right, and this 1348 01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:34,040 Speaker 11: speaks to education over generations and one of the challenges 1349 01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:35,360 Speaker 11: in Latin America. 1350 01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:36,200 Speaker 5: I remember, each. 1351 01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:39,479 Speaker 11: Country has its own history. So some countries, like you 1352 01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:43,800 Speaker 11: were asking about the Dominican Republic, have and most of 1353 01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:47,559 Speaker 11: them have some sort of denial at some point about 1354 01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:53,360 Speaker 11: you know, their blackness and their afric community. So but 1355 01:13:54,200 --> 01:14:02,120 Speaker 11: some countries moved either faster or making the change to honors, celebrate, recognize, 1356 01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,680 Speaker 11: give more resources to these communities because just like in 1357 01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:12,280 Speaker 11: the United States, unfortunately, black communities in Latin America are 1358 01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:17,840 Speaker 11: economically tend to be the most disadvantaged on the lower 1359 01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:25,280 Speaker 11: echelon spectrums in terms of economic viability, so health outcomes 1360 01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:29,920 Speaker 11: and indicators. Again, but there's so many similarities between you know, 1361 01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:35,360 Speaker 11: what's happening in Salvador in Brazil, the communities in Louisa 1362 01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:40,720 Speaker 11: and Puerto Rico, these black communities in Santiago, Cuba. So 1363 01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:47,480 Speaker 11: often these communities, black communities, predominantly black communities, are unfortunately 1364 01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:55,960 Speaker 11: experiencing lower educational levels, outcomes, health indication. So we see 1365 01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:59,760 Speaker 11: that time and time again. But there are throughout the 1366 01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:06,000 Speaker 11: Die Asked For Latin America movement and people making great 1367 01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:10,719 Speaker 11: strives to make changes to support their communities. And that's 1368 01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:15,120 Speaker 11: and that's really wonderful to see. So it's evolving. I mean, 1369 01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:19,200 Speaker 11: just like humanity, society evolves in the United States and 1370 01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:22,960 Speaker 11: we're evolving it involved it's an evolution in Latin America 1371 01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:23,360 Speaker 11: as well. 1372 01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:26,040 Speaker 1: All Right, I got some twet up questions for your 1373 01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:29,439 Speaker 1: twenty six Away from the Top. They are with Kim Housen. 1374 01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:32,759 Speaker 1: Kim travels of these Afro Latino countries and father report. 1375 01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:35,720 Speaker 1: We sort of traveled with her vicariously. Of the first 1376 01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:38,080 Speaker 1: tweet I got was about Bad Bunny. Please ask your 1377 01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:41,400 Speaker 1: guest her thoughts on Bad Bunny's performance of the Super 1378 01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:44,600 Speaker 1: Bowl and how did that go over it with Afro Latinos. 1379 01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:51,080 Speaker 11: I mean, I can't I can't speak to how it 1380 01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:55,760 Speaker 11: went over with Afro Latinos because you know, remember after 1381 01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:59,160 Speaker 11: Latinos again, just like asking Americans are not a monolith. 1382 01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:01,040 Speaker 8: I can say that. 1383 01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:06,840 Speaker 11: I think in general there is great pride and you know, 1384 01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:10,080 Speaker 11: Bad Bunny is from Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico has a 1385 01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:16,720 Speaker 11: very rich Afro Puerto Rican tradition and culture, and I 1386 01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:20,160 Speaker 11: think Puerto Ricans in general are one of the proudest 1387 01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:23,679 Speaker 11: people that I've ever met, I think across the planet. 1388 01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:25,680 Speaker 11: When you think about people who have a pride in 1389 01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:29,320 Speaker 11: their country and culture, I think of Puerto Ricans right 1390 01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:31,760 Speaker 11: up there at the top. In terms of how he 1391 01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:35,320 Speaker 11: was received, I think, and I want to be very 1392 01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:39,120 Speaker 11: careful because I just cannot speak to you know, how 1393 01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:42,720 Speaker 11: Afro Latinos view him, But I think he in his 1394 01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:47,080 Speaker 11: in the presentation, there are a lot of aspects if 1395 01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:48,800 Speaker 11: you've seen him in concert, I have not seen him 1396 01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:52,680 Speaker 11: in concert, but he features from what I've seen in 1397 01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:57,360 Speaker 11: terms of footage, Bomba dancers, and Bomba is an Afro 1398 01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:01,400 Speaker 11: Puerto Rican dance and you is ex form and he 1399 01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:05,760 Speaker 11: includes that in his concert. So the footage that I've 1400 01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:08,479 Speaker 11: seen in his concerts, So you know, there's. 1401 01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:09,879 Speaker 8: A lot around. 1402 01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:13,560 Speaker 11: I guess you know Bad Bunny and Ice and you 1403 01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:15,960 Speaker 11: know all of that. But in terms of just I 1404 01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:20,720 Speaker 11: think how Puerto Ricans view him. I think there's a 1405 01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,720 Speaker 11: great side in terms of how he's viewed there. I'm 1406 01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:26,000 Speaker 11: just not that well versed in bad Bunny, so I 1407 01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:27,280 Speaker 11: just I can't speak to it. 1408 01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:30,680 Speaker 1: But so much musical generation.

I don't know once. The one from Darren. 1456 01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:32,040 Speaker 1: Darren's tweet says, please ask your guests, has there been 1457 01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:35,200 Speaker 1: any black civil rights movement in any Central and South 1458 01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:36,760 Speaker 1: American country by blacks there? 1459 01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:41,040 Speaker 11: Yeah, so thank you and thanks for that question. So 1460 01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:44,200 Speaker 11: I think in the sense of what we're used to 1461 01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:47,760 Speaker 11: in the United States of particularly the sixties, right, that's 1462 01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:49,479 Speaker 11: what we often think that down in terms of the 1463 01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:51,720 Speaker 11: civil rights movement, But that was also a build up 1464 01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:57,280 Speaker 11: right in the United States, and we don't necessarily see 1465 01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:01,479 Speaker 11: something like that in Latin America. You can remember, countries 1466 01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:06,920 Speaker 11: are different, and so the way that what you see now, 1467 01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:10,479 Speaker 11: for example, and over the years, is been a heightened 1468 01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:14,519 Speaker 11: awareness of and for the years that I've been traveling 1469 01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:18,759 Speaker 11: to Latin America, I definitely see more and more people 1470 01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:26,679 Speaker 11: in the various countries promoting Afro Brazilian culture, Afro Cuban culture, 1471 01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:31,200 Speaker 11: Afro Puerto Rican culture, Afro Equadorian culture. So while there 1472 01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:35,120 Speaker 11: wasn't per se a civil rights movement like we have 1473 01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:41,200 Speaker 11: here in the United States, there's a movement of a 1474 01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:44,840 Speaker 11: different kind where I think there's just a growing sense 1475 01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:50,080 Speaker 11: of Latin America's African roots in general, and so countries 1476 01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:54,719 Speaker 11: expressed that differently. And so you can see in Brazil, 1477 01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:59,439 Speaker 11: for example, you know that there is movement and with 1478 01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:03,480 Speaker 11: the current president Lula, who I guess like the equivalent 1479 01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:06,760 Speaker 11: of Biden, right and so pride to Lula. Then there 1480 01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:10,479 Speaker 11: was Bulscenaro, who's equivalent to kind of like Trump, and 1481 01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:13,320 Speaker 11: then Lula beforehand, so it kind of went back and forth, 1482 01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:16,200 Speaker 11: just like in the United States. And so with Lula, 1483 01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:18,720 Speaker 11: who's been very supportive, much more supportive, let me say, 1484 01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:25,479 Speaker 11: of Afro Brazilian culture, and ministers who are black and 1485 01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:31,080 Speaker 11: so there's people in all of these countries who are 1486 01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:33,519 Speaker 11: doing the work and who have been doing the work. 1487 01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:35,760 Speaker 11: But I think now between social media where people can 1488 01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:38,000 Speaker 11: take things. You know, you don't have to wait for 1489 01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:41,519 Speaker 11: a television crew to come film something you're doing. 1490 01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:42,840 Speaker 8: You know, you can. 1491 01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:48,599 Speaker 11: Promote your activities and events. You'll see curriculum in certain countries, 1492 01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:51,479 Speaker 11: many of them have it on the books that Afro 1493 01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:54,760 Speaker 11: Latino culture needs to be part of the curriculum, like 1494 01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:57,479 Speaker 11: is go back to Brazil again, But is it actually 1495 01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:03,400 Speaker 11: implemented that takes That's another step. So while there wasn't 1496 01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:07,640 Speaker 11: so much in these countries an actual specific movement like 1497 01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:09,680 Speaker 11: in the United States when we think about but there 1498 01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:12,080 Speaker 11: are people, there are leaders who are doing the work, 1499 01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:17,080 Speaker 11: who are working to advance equality throughout Latin America. And 1500 01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:19,519 Speaker 11: that's one of the things that we talk about and 1501 01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:24,559 Speaker 11: we feature in our PBS travel series Afro Latino Travels 1502 01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:28,960 Speaker 11: with Kim Hawks is we'll talk about the historians and 1503 01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:32,800 Speaker 11: what's happening in the country and give people context. So 1504 01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:36,120 Speaker 11: every country, as I said, is different. So our first 1505 01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:38,880 Speaker 11: episodes were shot in Costa Rica and I'm so glad 1506 01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:45,200 Speaker 11: that the previous segment was talking about Marcus Garvey and 1507 01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:48,240 Speaker 11: the Garby Nation, and so we feature we have historical 1508 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:51,960 Speaker 11: background and information about Marcus Garvey and his time in 1509 01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:54,920 Speaker 11: Costa Rica. So he was in Limone. So I don't 1510 01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:57,200 Speaker 11: know if any of your listeners, if they've been to 1511 01:22:57,320 --> 01:23:00,879 Speaker 11: Costa Rico, are thinking about going to Costa Rica. Marcus 1512 01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:04,599 Speaker 11: Garvey had a presence in Limon on the Caribbean coast. 1513 01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:09,439 Speaker 11: He worked at the United Fruit Company, and so there's 1514 01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:13,439 Speaker 11: that back and forth between Jamaica and Costa Rica, which 1515 01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:17,439 Speaker 11: is fascinating, I mean just fascinating. So if you're in 1516 01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:22,240 Speaker 11: Limon on the Caribbean coast, you can see so many 1517 01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:26,960 Speaker 11: people from Limon. Their ancestry dates goes back to Jamaica 1518 01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:31,519 Speaker 11: and then obviously Jamaicans and Africa. But so many people 1519 01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:36,920 Speaker 11: from Limon trace their roots and talk about Jamaica as 1520 01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:41,960 Speaker 11: their homeland. And that's because Jamaican's left kind of the 1521 01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:47,200 Speaker 11: American dream, right. They left Jamaica early nineteen hundreds looking 1522 01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:51,439 Speaker 11: for opportunity, looking for jobs and work and went to 1523 01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:55,519 Speaker 11: Costa Rica, went to Panama, helped build the Panama Canal. 1524 01:23:56,280 --> 01:24:03,920 Speaker 11: So there's just all this travel intermingling immigration, migration back 1525 01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:06,840 Speaker 11: and forth, which is really fascinating. And we talk about 1526 01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:11,120 Speaker 11: that in Aple Latino Travels, which airs on PBS and 1527 01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:13,720 Speaker 11: you can also catch it on creatv TV, which is 1528 01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:17,160 Speaker 11: PBS's travel and lifestyle channel. 1529 01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:19,439 Speaker 1: All right, before you go, I'll let you give that 1530 01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:21,200 Speaker 1: information again. Yeah, because you want to see it on 1531 01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:23,960 Speaker 1: the screen. Ten away from the top House, I mentioned MARKA. 1532 01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:26,280 Speaker 1: Manheim sent a tweet for you. It's kind of like 1533 01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:29,519 Speaker 1: a long tweet, So follow me, Kim. He says, hello 1534 01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:31,959 Speaker 1: for us, and he says, and these one actually recommended 1535 01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:33,960 Speaker 1: that we have you on. He says that all of 1536 01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:37,000 Speaker 1: the black female serfs he has coached mented hail from 1537 01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:40,479 Speaker 1: the Caribbean, Central and South America, and like what folks 1538 01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:43,559 Speaker 1: from the sixteen nineteen project, the first permanent black settlers 1539 01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:46,320 Speaker 1: in what is now the US were from Barbados. He 1540 01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:49,400 Speaker 1: goes on to say before sixteen nineteen, Barbados had become 1541 01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:52,720 Speaker 1: overpopulated with slave on us and they sure came plantations. 1542 01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:56,559 Speaker 1: He adds that the San Miguel Guadeloupe Colony was creating 1543 01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:59,439 Speaker 1: the early fifteen hundreds is what is now Georgetown County 1544 01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:03,679 Speaker 1: in South CA Carolina. It's as the white fort amongst themselves, 1545 01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:06,920 Speaker 1: and many black slaves escaped and lived with nearby Native 1546 01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:11,000 Speaker 1: indigenous people in South Carolina. The white settlers who survived 1547 01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:13,640 Speaker 1: decided to leave, and the black slaves who had not 1548 01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:17,960 Speaker 1: already escaped decided to remain. Consequently, they were blacks and 1549 01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:20,960 Speaker 1: black Native indigenous people here in what is now the 1550 01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:24,519 Speaker 1: US long before sixteen nineteen, which makes them the first 1551 01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:27,799 Speaker 1: black permanent residence. And his question is does your traveling 1552 01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:31,120 Speaker 1: see provide this kind of black history to your clients 1553 01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:33,960 Speaker 1: who visit the Caribbean, Central and South America. 1554 01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:39,360 Speaker 11: Yeah, no, thank you, And I think thank Michael for 1555 01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:43,840 Speaker 11: Mark from Anaheim for this, for the recommendation, and for 1556 01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:47,759 Speaker 11: referring us. And so I think there's so many ways 1557 01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:51,080 Speaker 11: that you can experience and learn about the culture of 1558 01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:53,840 Speaker 11: the different countries. One is it's come with us on 1559 01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:57,679 Speaker 11: a tour. So we are going to Guatemala in May. 1560 01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:00,479 Speaker 11: And so for any of your listeners who whether you've 1561 01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:03,360 Speaker 11: thought about Guatemala, let me just say this is whatever 1562 01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:06,080 Speaker 11: you may have heard about Guatemala in the past, and 1563 01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:09,880 Speaker 11: I'm guessing it probably was negative, maybe not, But you 1564 01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:13,839 Speaker 11: can come with us and you'll see a totally different country. 1565 01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:18,160 Speaker 11: Than what you've probably heard on the news. It's absolutely gorgeous. 1566 01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:22,400 Speaker 11: We in the same example of Guatemala focus on a 1567 01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:25,120 Speaker 11: little bit more on the indigenous population of Maya culture, 1568 01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:30,840 Speaker 11: which is amazing. And then we also have some an 1569 01:26:30,880 --> 01:26:34,000 Speaker 11: activity with a Gharifuna and the Gharihuna are people of 1570 01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:39,280 Speaker 11: African descent, African and indigenous discerent in Guatemala, meaning Guatemala 1571 01:26:39,479 --> 01:26:43,920 Speaker 11: has primarily a living spin on the Caribbean coast, a Gdyfuna, 1572 01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:48,120 Speaker 11: a black community, and so we talk about we give 1573 01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:52,240 Speaker 11: historical context in terms of how people of African descent 1574 01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:57,760 Speaker 11: got to the country in this case Guatemala, and an 1575 01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:02,200 Speaker 11: overview of their presence their history in that country.

So 1670 01:32:37,240 --> 01:32:39,760 Speaker 11: you can see everyone, not just you know, people of 1671 01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:44,000 Speaker 11: asking descent, but people are dressed in guarded and it's 1672 01:32:44,040 --> 01:32:48,000 Speaker 11: a real celebration and community and so it's really beautiful. 1673 01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:50,439 Speaker 11: So we actually took a group as I mentioned, in 1674 01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:54,320 Speaker 11: August twenty twenty four to Costa Rica and prior to 1675 01:32:54,479 --> 01:32:58,240 Speaker 11: that in twenty twenty two to Costa Rica. And then 1676 01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:01,479 Speaker 11: we make sure that on our tour, you know, we 1677 01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:04,120 Speaker 11: have the speakers many of the people who appear in 1678 01:33:04,200 --> 01:33:08,839 Speaker 11: our shows again with us on the tours and diving 1679 01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:14,400 Speaker 11: even deeper into the country's African roots. So Colombia, we 1680 01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:17,960 Speaker 11: just went to Colombian July, had a fantastic time. We 1681 01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:21,639 Speaker 11: were in Colleague and the Pacific Coach was very much 1682 01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:27,320 Speaker 11: Afro Colombian and then in Kastahena and Palnke. So we're 1683 01:33:27,439 --> 01:33:31,240 Speaker 11: making the rounds and getting people out and with us 1684 01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:35,360 Speaker 11: having a great time, learning a lot and really engaging 1685 01:33:35,560 --> 01:33:40,040 Speaker 11: with community members and afric you know, whether it's Colombian 1686 01:33:40,280 --> 01:33:44,879 Speaker 11: or Costa Rican or coming up in Guatemala or in Brazil. 1687 01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:48,080 Speaker 11: As I mentioned in August, So it's a great way 1688 01:33:48,240 --> 01:33:52,960 Speaker 11: to exchange, to learn to support communities. When we go, 1689 01:33:53,160 --> 01:33:58,920 Speaker 11: we donate school supplies and other items that are you know, requested. 1690 01:33:59,439 --> 01:34:02,840 Speaker 11: So it's as to really start forming these relationships with 1691 01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:07,120 Speaker 11: other people of African descent and to learn so much. 1692 01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:10,599 Speaker 11: And the great thing is that so often do people 1693 01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:14,240 Speaker 11: want these relationships. They want to hear from folks from 1694 01:34:14,280 --> 01:34:18,040 Speaker 11: the United States and African Americans and learn and engage, 1695 01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:21,479 Speaker 11: and it's really beautiful and our travelers just come away 1696 01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:25,840 Speaker 11: with unforgettable experiences. So if you can't travel with us again, 1697 01:34:25,920 --> 01:34:30,160 Speaker 11: you can catch our episodes on television on TBS on 1698 01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:35,200 Speaker 11: Create TV because they air throughout the year, and it's 1699 01:34:35,240 --> 01:34:38,559 Speaker 11: a wonderful way to learn about these countries and their 1700 01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:39,599 Speaker 11: phenomenal history. 1701 01:34:40,360 --> 01:34:42,639 Speaker 1: All right, four f that topic, I think it's systant 1702 01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:44,560 Speaker 1: for Hima. Let me say say this came out I 1703 01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:46,200 Speaker 1: told you about it that trip. We used to take 1704 01:34:46,240 --> 01:34:48,880 Speaker 1: trips to Africa. Every year we go to a different 1705 01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:51,439 Speaker 1: African state, and so one year resigned let's go to 1706 01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:54,519 Speaker 1: Brazil because there's more Africans in Brazil and ail the country. 1707 01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:56,960 Speaker 1: So we went to Brazil. So once we got to 1708 01:34:57,240 --> 01:35:00,360 Speaker 1: the reo, you know, and our guide, we can saying 1709 01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:02,639 Speaker 1: where are folks at? Well, we want to we want 1710 01:35:02,680 --> 01:35:04,240 Speaker 1: to see our people, you know, we want to go 1711 01:35:04,280 --> 01:35:07,160 Speaker 1: to Salvador, Bahia. We want to meet our people. And 1712 01:35:07,720 --> 01:35:10,040 Speaker 1: he was sort of dismissive. He says, you guys from America, 1713 01:35:10,120 --> 01:35:12,800 Speaker 1: all you want to do is ask about race. He 1714 01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:15,120 Speaker 1: says that I mean, and this is he told, you know, 1715 01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:18,799 Speaker 1: they don't discuss race like how we discuss race in Brazil. 1716 01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:21,479 Speaker 1: But we went to Salvado by and we had a 1717 01:35:21,560 --> 01:35:24,040 Speaker 1: great time. As you mentioned that the folks are welcoming Usk, 1718 01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:27,120 Speaker 1: you know, and and and just just the language barer, 1719 01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:29,320 Speaker 1: but trying to communicate with each other. We had a 1720 01:35:29,400 --> 01:35:31,640 Speaker 1: great time. But did you find that in Brazil that 1721 01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:35,519 Speaker 1: they don't want to because they have a color hierarchy 1722 01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:39,000 Speaker 1: hierarchy if you will. And of course our folks at 1723 01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:39,559 Speaker 1: the bottom of the. 1724 01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:44,040 Speaker 11: Barrel, absolutely, and Latin America in general. And again when 1725 01:35:44,080 --> 01:35:47,360 Speaker 11: I speak, I want to be very careful because you 1726 01:35:47,439 --> 01:35:49,720 Speaker 11: know I'm talking and speaking in generality but there are 1727 01:35:50,200 --> 01:35:52,280 Speaker 11: you know, people on all sides of the spectrum and 1728 01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:55,600 Speaker 11: with opinions. But in general, Latin America has had this 1729 01:35:55,840 --> 01:35:58,559 Speaker 11: history of what they call and I singing quotes, they 1730 01:35:58,560 --> 01:36:02,760 Speaker 11: are quotes racial democracy and we don't see color and 1731 01:36:02,960 --> 01:36:06,840 Speaker 11: everybody's equal. But remember at the part of that and 1732 01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:10,880 Speaker 11: the core of that was what they call blancamiento, right, 1733 01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:17,240 Speaker 11: or the whitening of the race, and that promotion of 1734 01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:22,680 Speaker 11: particularly people of asking the scent marrying someone white too 1735 01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:27,400 Speaker 11: again in quote better the race and Latin America. If 1736 01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:29,760 Speaker 11: you go to Latin American and you'll find that there's 1737 01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:33,720 Speaker 11: still this oh we don't we don't trudge, you know, 1738 01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:37,599 Speaker 11: we everybody's the same I have. You know, my cousins 1739 01:36:37,680 --> 01:36:40,759 Speaker 11: are all different colors. Some are black, some are white. 1740 01:36:41,800 --> 01:36:44,200 Speaker 11: I mean you'll hear that. But just like you said, 1741 01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:47,160 Speaker 11: but when you go and you learn, turn on the 1742 01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:52,120 Speaker 11: television and you will not see someone black. You will 1743 01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:55,680 Speaker 11: not see someone with black features, someone dark skin, in 1744 01:36:55,760 --> 01:37:00,400 Speaker 11: particular on television anchoring the news. If you go into 1745 01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:02,800 Speaker 11: a restaurant, I can't tell you how many times I 1746 01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:06,160 Speaker 11: go to a restaurant throughout Latin America and I will 1747 01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:09,000 Speaker 11: be the only black person in the restaurant, but there'd 1748 01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:11,200 Speaker 11: be probably if you go in the kitchen, or if 1749 01:37:11,200 --> 01:37:13,160 Speaker 11: you look to see who's in the kitchen, there's a 1750 01:37:13,200 --> 01:37:16,040 Speaker 11: good likelihood that it would be somebody black, somebody of 1751 01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:21,560 Speaker 11: African descent. So who has the power making the decisions, 1752 01:37:22,040 --> 01:37:25,960 Speaker 11: who's controlling the budget the finances. When I was in Salvador, 1753 01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:29,040 Speaker 11: as you mentioned, and I love Salvador, Salvador is easily 1754 01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:35,000 Speaker 11: sixty seventy percent eighty percent black and brown. Stayed at 1755 01:37:35,040 --> 01:37:37,759 Speaker 11: the hotel, or at least I was there ten days 1756 01:37:37,800 --> 01:37:41,400 Speaker 11: on my last trip, not one black person at the 1757 01:37:41,479 --> 01:37:45,559 Speaker 11: front desk. But who was doing the work. And when 1758 01:37:45,600 --> 01:37:49,240 Speaker 11: I say carrying the furniture, because I was watching carrying 1759 01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:52,360 Speaker 11: the furniture up the steps, I mean heavy. They were 1760 01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:55,519 Speaker 11: moving heavy pieces of furniture up the step. It was 1761 01:37:55,640 --> 01:37:59,040 Speaker 11: black men and dark skinned black men. But at the 1762 01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:03,759 Speaker 11: front desk, not one single black person in a city 1763 01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:06,479 Speaker 11: that is sixty seventy eighty percent black. 1764 01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:10,920 Speaker 7: And then finally, on my last day, I'm sorry, go ahead, no, no, go. 1765 01:38:10,920 --> 01:38:13,520 Speaker 1: Ahead, and finished it because I got to ask another. 1766 01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:14,040 Speaker 14: Question to go ahead. 1767 01:38:14,240 --> 01:38:15,880 Speaker 11: I was just going to say, on my last day, 1768 01:38:16,040 --> 01:38:20,000 Speaker 11: I was leaving after been there ten eleven days, I 1769 01:38:20,080 --> 01:38:22,639 Speaker 11: saw one black woman and I said, oh my gosh, 1770 01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:23,679 Speaker 11: I said, where. 1771 01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:23,960 Speaker 8: Have you been? 1772 01:38:24,240 --> 01:38:25,960 Speaker 11: And I went talked to her and I knew she 1773 01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:27,800 Speaker 11: couldn't say but so much. She was at the front desk, 1774 01:38:27,880 --> 01:38:29,600 Speaker 11: and I didn't want, you know, but I was so 1775 01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:32,080 Speaker 11: surprised to see her because I had not seen one 1776 01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:36,600 Speaker 11: black person at the front desk in ten days of 1777 01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:40,320 Speaker 11: being there. And she said, you know, I'm pretty sure 1778 01:38:40,400 --> 01:38:43,439 Speaker 11: I got this job because I speak English. So none 1779 01:38:43,479 --> 01:38:48,000 Speaker 11: of the other people spoke English. I think a couple, 1780 01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:52,000 Speaker 11: but in ten days, none of the other people spoke English. 1781 01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:53,960 Speaker 8: But she was the only one. 1782 01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:55,559 Speaker 11: And she was the only black person there I saw 1783 01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:59,280 Speaker 11: who spoke Portuguese obviously they're her native language and English, 1784 01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:02,000 Speaker 11: and it was just amazing. And she said, you know, 1785 01:39:02,160 --> 01:39:05,439 Speaker 11: I watch YouTube. I watched television so that I could 1786 01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:09,240 Speaker 11: learn and learn to speak English. And that's why, no 1787 01:39:09,400 --> 01:39:11,800 Speaker 11: doubt why she was there. So in a city that 1788 01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:16,200 Speaker 11: is predominantly black, Salvador has never had a black mayor, 1789 01:39:17,360 --> 01:39:21,439 Speaker 11: I think that it's just tremendous. Sixty seventy eighty percent 1790 01:39:21,680 --> 01:39:25,040 Speaker 11: black and brown, and still that's where they find themselves. 1791 01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:29,040 Speaker 11: So there's a lot there that this is just centuries. 1792 01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:33,000 Speaker 11: Remember we've got to remember this, this is centuries of racism, 1793 01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:36,160 Speaker 11: centuries of denial. I'm glad you brought it up though, 1794 01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:38,040 Speaker 11: because it's still very common in Latin Aerica. 1795 01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:40,080 Speaker 17: Oh, we're all the same, there's. 1796 01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:42,800 Speaker 11: No prejudice, okay. And then you ask people, well, how 1797 01:39:42,800 --> 01:39:46,000 Speaker 11: come I've never seen someone who looks like me on television? 1798 01:39:46,040 --> 01:39:46,160 Speaker 12: Here? 1799 01:39:46,240 --> 01:39:49,160 Speaker 11: How come I've never seen a mayor? How come I've 1800 01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:51,880 Speaker 11: never seen and you go into things and then people 1801 01:39:52,160 --> 01:39:54,920 Speaker 11: many times I've said that to people and they start, Oh, 1802 01:39:55,200 --> 01:39:57,120 Speaker 11: it's like they've never I don't know, they've never thought 1803 01:39:57,160 --> 01:39:59,920 Speaker 11: of it before. But this stuff is so deep sea 1804 01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:04,400 Speaker 11: that it's going to take time to undo how people 1805 01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:09,240 Speaker 11: feel about being black, how people feel about you know, 1806 01:40:09,320 --> 01:40:13,360 Speaker 11: the negative denying it, the negativity around it. It just 1807 01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:17,639 Speaker 11: takes it takes generations to undo the damage and undo 1808 01:40:17,840 --> 01:40:20,080 Speaker 11: what has been done for centuries. 1809 01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:23,559 Speaker 1: All right, if the top I'm moment tail we're going 1810 01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:26,080 Speaker 1: to speak with doctor Abel. I'm gonna ask you this question. 1811 01:40:26,200 --> 01:40:29,280 Speaker 1: All the Afro Latin American countries that you go to, 1812 01:40:30,520 --> 01:40:33,920 Speaker 1: are we concentrated in ghettos? I hate to say by 1813 01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:39,880 Speaker 1: he is a ghetto Salvado or Santiago, Cuba where we 1814 01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:42,960 Speaker 1: are concentrated, is it, you know, would we think of 1815 01:40:43,040 --> 01:40:44,360 Speaker 1: it as a ghetto. Then let me put it that 1816 01:40:44,400 --> 01:40:47,519 Speaker 1: way in all the different Latin American countries that you visit, 1817 01:40:49,080 --> 01:40:49,920 Speaker 1: so I think. 1818 01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:54,800 Speaker 11: In again watching what I'm you know, in general, people 1819 01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:58,120 Speaker 11: of Acting descent in the various countries, whether it's in 1820 01:40:58,960 --> 01:41:03,439 Speaker 11: you know, Lemon in Costa Rica, in Savador, which is 1821 01:41:03,479 --> 01:41:08,599 Speaker 11: a city of several million people, if you're in Luisa, 1822 01:41:08,680 --> 01:41:13,719 Speaker 11: Puerto Rico, which is much smaller in general, Santiago, Cuba. 1823 01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:20,120 Speaker 11: In general, these communities have less economic resources, find themselves 1824 01:41:20,520 --> 01:41:27,759 Speaker 11: in less powerful financial situations. So that is in general, 1825 01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:31,839 Speaker 11: I'm not going to say they are ghettos or qualify 1826 01:41:31,920 --> 01:41:34,439 Speaker 11: them in that way, but they tend to be in 1827 01:41:34,600 --> 01:41:40,640 Speaker 11: communities that have less economic power. And that's because of opportunity. 1828 01:41:40,760 --> 01:41:44,519 Speaker 11: I mean, it's a whole series of things. Policies, it's 1829 01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:49,000 Speaker 11: lack Whilst Latin American general did not have laws on 1830 01:41:49,120 --> 01:41:54,400 Speaker 11: the books segregating people of African descent, the way people live, 1831 01:41:55,120 --> 01:41:59,040 Speaker 11: whether they were allowed to pursue opportunities, wound up a 1832 01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:03,519 Speaker 11: lot of times relating and keeping people in communities with 1833 01:42:04,040 --> 01:42:08,320 Speaker 11: less economic resources. So I think that's how I would 1834 01:42:08,400 --> 01:42:11,000 Speaker 11: qualify it. But at the same time, it maybe the 1835 01:42:11,120 --> 01:42:13,800 Speaker 11: lead people on a good note. There's so many great 1836 01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:17,040 Speaker 11: things happening as well. And we had a former president 1837 01:42:17,120 --> 01:42:20,439 Speaker 11: Costa Rica vice president EPC. Campbell, was the first black 1838 01:42:20,600 --> 01:42:24,040 Speaker 11: vice president in Latin America and that was EPC. 1839 01:42:24,160 --> 01:42:24,599 Speaker 8: Campbell. 1840 01:42:25,320 --> 01:42:27,280 Speaker 13: And in Colombia. 1841 01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:32,760 Speaker 11: We have Colombia now for the first time has its 1842 01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:37,679 Speaker 11: first black vice president, Francia Marquez. Her term is finishing 1843 01:42:37,760 --> 01:42:40,080 Speaker 11: up right in the next couple of months. I met 1844 01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:43,720 Speaker 11: with her last year in Colombia. Amazing story. So we 1845 01:42:43,800 --> 01:42:47,880 Speaker 11: could go on and on. So while conditions aren't still 1846 01:42:48,640 --> 01:42:50,400 Speaker 11: I think the way we would like to see them 1847 01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:53,479 Speaker 11: and see, you know, people back in descent, but they're 1848 01:42:53,479 --> 01:42:57,040 Speaker 11: still thriving and they're still doing so many good things 1849 01:42:57,240 --> 01:43:02,080 Speaker 11: and great work and culture and history and preservation and 1850 01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:06,439 Speaker 11: keeping community. So there's still a lot to be proud, 1851 01:43:06,560 --> 01:43:09,320 Speaker 11: so much to be proud of. And these things take 1852 01:43:09,400 --> 01:43:13,240 Speaker 11: time to dismantle racism. I mean we're talking about centuries. 1853 01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:16,439 Speaker 11: It just doesn't happen overnight. But people are welcome to 1854 01:43:16,520 --> 01:43:19,000 Speaker 11: come with us or see us on television and learn 1855 01:43:19,080 --> 01:43:21,240 Speaker 11: more about it because it's truly an amazing history. 1856 01:43:21,840 --> 01:43:23,960 Speaker 1: And Kim real quickly, how can they follow you?

They're not psychic. 1908 01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:09,600 Speaker 8: It depends on the patient feedback. A lot of what 1909 01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:12,479 Speaker 8: we've been doing, Carl in these past two years when 1910 01:46:12,520 --> 01:46:15,919 Speaker 8: I come on, it's not just taking callers, but teaching 1911 01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:20,200 Speaker 8: our Pan African community how to interface with a medical 1912 01:46:20,280 --> 01:46:22,640 Speaker 8: professional and get what you want out of it. 1913 01:46:24,320 --> 01:46:26,040 Speaker 1: So true and hoole leftough right there, I'm looking at 1914 01:46:26,080 --> 01:46:27,840 Speaker 1: the cloud. We're at a stepiside. I hate to do this, 1915 01:46:27,920 --> 01:46:30,040 Speaker 1: you had just started, but we come back. Family, you've 1916 01:46:30,080 --> 01:46:32,040 Speaker 1: got a health challenge or a health question at all. 1917 01:46:32,160 --> 01:46:34,240 Speaker 1: You've got family and friends who do and you know 1918 01:46:34,280 --> 01:46:35,880 Speaker 1: and you want to help them. This is the lady 1919 01:46:35,920 --> 01:46:38,160 Speaker 1: you need to talk to. She's a traditional doctor as 1920 01:46:38,240 --> 01:46:39,599 Speaker 1: long as we wear a white colt. And she's also 1921 01:46:39,640 --> 01:46:42,160 Speaker 1: a holistic a naturopathic doctor too, so you can have 1922 01:46:42,280 --> 01:46:44,360 Speaker 1: both ways. If you've got an issue, she'll give you 1923 01:46:44,439 --> 01:46:46,560 Speaker 1: an idea which side you want to go, and you 1924 01:46:46,640 --> 01:46:50,160 Speaker 1: make your decision. You don't get that often very real, 1925 01:46:50,280 --> 01:46:52,479 Speaker 1: especially the doctors and the white coat because they went 1926 01:46:52,479 --> 01:46:54,479 Speaker 1: to med school, so they're not about to share something 1927 01:46:54,720 --> 01:46:58,080 Speaker 1: that you can do holistically to cure whatever ailment that 1928 01:46:58,200 --> 01:47:00,720 Speaker 1: you have. Again, it's seen at the top of the eye. 1929 01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:02,680 Speaker 1: You know how to reach us at eight hundred four 1930 01:47:02,760 --> 01:47:05,680 Speaker 1: or five zero seventy eight seventy six, and we'll take 1931 01:47:05,720 --> 01:47:08,080 Speaker 1: your phone calls next real less on this Wednesday morning, 1932 01:47:08,080 --> 01:47:10,439 Speaker 1: and it's a hunt. We're halfway through the work week, 1933 01:47:10,760 --> 01:47:12,719 Speaker 1: and our guess is doctor A. And as I mentioned, 1934 01:47:12,760 --> 01:47:14,960 Speaker 1: doctor A is a traditional doctor. There the ones who 1935 01:47:14,960 --> 01:47:17,520 Speaker 1: wear the white coat. You know, I'll give you the pharmaceuticals. 1936 01:47:17,680 --> 01:47:21,559 Speaker 1: And she's also a traditional a holistic doctor naturopathic doctor. 1937 01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:23,800 Speaker 1: So there's two ways to look at it. If you 1938 01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:26,519 Speaker 1: have health concerns, health issues, and you have a choice, 1939 01:47:27,400 --> 01:47:29,760 Speaker 1: very rarely you'll find that with your own doctor because 1940 01:47:29,920 --> 01:47:31,360 Speaker 1: you know they went to mad school. They don't feel 1941 01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:34,280 Speaker 1: like they should give you a cheaper way of getting 1942 01:47:34,320 --> 01:47:36,760 Speaker 1: better if you will. And some people will say doctor 1943 01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:39,200 Speaker 1: a that you know, doctors are there just to help 1944 01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:43,360 Speaker 1: the medical the pharmaceutical company because if you cured, then 1945 01:47:43,400 --> 01:47:45,040 Speaker 1: they're out of a job, so they're not trying to 1946 01:47:45,120 --> 01:47:46,840 Speaker 1: cure you. And I don't know if you want to 1947 01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:49,400 Speaker 1: comment on that, but the holistic doctors they do. On 1948 01:47:49,479 --> 01:47:52,240 Speaker 1: the other hand, I'll let you figure if you want 1949 01:47:52,240 --> 01:47:53,519 Speaker 1: to comment on that, because I want to get you 1950 01:47:53,560 --> 01:47:53,920 Speaker 1: in trouble. 1951 01:47:54,120 --> 01:47:59,840 Speaker 8: I think it is worthy of commenting that the narrative 1952 01:48:00,320 --> 01:48:05,640 Speaker 8: for Western medicine was controlled by JD. Rockefeller. You know, 1953 01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:08,600 Speaker 8: after he killed a lot of poor white men in 1954 01:48:08,640 --> 01:48:12,519 Speaker 8: the coal mines, he had a horrible reputation. He literally 1955 01:48:12,680 --> 01:48:17,200 Speaker 8: hired a pr agent who told him become a philanthropist. Okay, 1956 01:48:17,320 --> 01:48:21,560 Speaker 8: so that is why. And so now as a philanthropist 1957 01:48:21,960 --> 01:48:25,600 Speaker 8: he bought There were very few medical schools at the 1958 01:48:25,720 --> 01:48:29,280 Speaker 8: turn of the twentieth century, so he bought them and 1959 01:48:29,520 --> 01:48:33,639 Speaker 8: controlled the curriculum. So the narrative is focused on disease 1960 01:48:34,360 --> 01:48:38,120 Speaker 8: and use pharmaceuticals. That does not mean that as an 1961 01:48:38,320 --> 01:48:42,320 Speaker 8: educated human being, you cannot get what you want out 1962 01:48:42,360 --> 01:48:45,679 Speaker 8: of the medical community. One thing about the United States, 1963 01:48:45,760 --> 01:48:49,200 Speaker 8: you have a right, alleged lea to healthcare. One in 1964 01:48:49,320 --> 01:48:52,160 Speaker 8: three Americans does not have a primary care doctor, Carl, 1965 01:48:52,360 --> 01:48:55,439 Speaker 8: and you know that's majority of our community. However, you 1966 01:48:55,600 --> 01:48:58,720 Speaker 8: at least have the right, okay, meaning when you go 1967 01:48:58,920 --> 01:49:02,599 Speaker 8: into a hospital and you actually are sick, you can't 1968 01:49:02,640 --> 01:49:05,719 Speaker 8: be turned away. Across the globe. You know, the sister 1969 01:49:05,840 --> 01:49:10,320 Speaker 8: before me was talking about international travel. Many of those countries. 1970 01:49:10,920 --> 01:49:14,320 Speaker 8: If you happen to have an injury or an illness, 1971 01:49:14,640 --> 01:49:17,000 Speaker 8: you're going to be up the creek. Okay, you will 1972 01:49:17,080 --> 01:49:20,280 Speaker 8: not have the right to anything. At least in this country. 1973 01:49:20,720 --> 01:49:25,160 Speaker 8: You can actually go into a hospital, you can actually 1974 01:49:25,400 --> 01:49:28,800 Speaker 8: receive health care. You cannot be turned away once you 1975 01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:32,800 Speaker 8: are sick. But even better, if you are a recipient 1976 01:49:32,880 --> 01:49:37,320 Speaker 8: of government health care because of age or disability or income, 1977 01:49:37,840 --> 01:49:42,200 Speaker 8: then you absolutely need to be utilizing that. You absolutely 1978 01:49:42,320 --> 01:49:47,040 Speaker 8: need to know yourself, know your family history, know your lifestyle, 1979 01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:50,920 Speaker 8: your habits, and be honest and transparent. See, the doctor 1980 01:49:51,040 --> 01:49:55,200 Speaker 8: cannot snitch on you. Even in court of law. They 1981 01:49:55,280 --> 01:49:59,240 Speaker 8: have to protect patient confidentiality unless you are you know, 1982 01:49:59,400 --> 01:50:04,240 Speaker 8: the massive murderer of United Healthcare, a CEO or something 1983 01:50:04,360 --> 01:50:08,080 Speaker 8: like that. They protect your confidentiality. You can be honest 1984 01:50:08,160 --> 01:50:12,120 Speaker 8: with them about your sex life, your habits, how you 1985 01:50:12,280 --> 01:50:16,120 Speaker 8: self medicate, what failures you have, as well as what 1986 01:50:16,240 --> 01:50:19,160 Speaker 8: your strengths are, whether you work out or whether you 1987 01:50:19,400 --> 01:50:23,920 Speaker 8: do zero exercise. All of these things contribute to whether 1988 01:50:24,040 --> 01:50:27,200 Speaker 8: you're well or whether you're moving in the direction of illness. 1989 01:50:28,080 --> 01:50:32,240 Speaker 8: Looking at a holistic model, Carl, we look at acidic 1990 01:50:32,439 --> 01:50:36,320 Speaker 8: versus alkaline, and we've talked about that extensively. That the 1991 01:50:36,439 --> 01:50:41,280 Speaker 8: body's state of wellness is an alkalinized state. That you 1992 01:50:41,479 --> 01:50:45,080 Speaker 8: really don't want an acidic condition in your body. You 1993 01:50:45,200 --> 01:50:47,880 Speaker 8: want to really make sure that you are bringing things 1994 01:50:47,960 --> 01:50:51,080 Speaker 8: into your body that do not cause an acidic state, 1995 01:50:51,520 --> 01:50:54,920 Speaker 8: that do not cause inflammation and mucus. That is how 1996 01:50:55,080 --> 01:50:56,719 Speaker 8: disease and cancer are born. 1997 01:50:58,360 --> 01:51:00,680 Speaker 1: Oh wow, thank you for that. Before have to top 1998 01:51:00,720 --> 01:51:02,360 Speaker 1: dare I got some folks want to talk to you already. 1999 01:51:02,479 --> 01:51:05,080 Speaker 1: Let's go to line one. Lisa calling from DC Grand 2000 01:51:05,160 --> 01:51:06,519 Speaker 1: Rising Lee. You're on with doctor A. 2001 01:51:07,680 --> 01:51:12,800 Speaker 15: Greeting to all, Uh, doctor, I have a question about parasite. 2002 01:51:13,120 --> 01:51:15,599 Speaker 15: What's a natural remedy for parasites in the bottom. 2003 01:51:18,280 --> 01:51:21,960 Speaker 8: Well, okay, that that is a broad, broad question, Lisa, 2004 01:51:22,479 --> 01:51:25,720 Speaker 8: have you been diagnosed or somebody that you know been 2005 01:51:25,800 --> 01:51:27,560 Speaker 8: diagnosed as having parasite? 2006 01:51:28,439 --> 01:51:30,920 Speaker 15: Yes, the friend of mine has cancer. She's doing chemo 2007 01:51:31,080 --> 01:51:33,960 Speaker 15: at the moment. In fact, she's due for her last 2008 01:51:34,479 --> 01:51:35,880 Speaker 15: chemotherapy this week. 2009 01:51:37,240 --> 01:51:37,320 Speaker 9: Uh. 2010 01:51:37,479 --> 01:51:39,599 Speaker 7: They said she had tumors for here. 2011 01:51:40,680 --> 01:51:41,800 Speaker 10: Okay, So no, that. 2012 01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:45,280 Speaker 8: That's extremely important to know. And thank you for sharing that. 2013 01:51:46,520 --> 01:51:49,240 Speaker 8: If you don't mind sharing, what is the form of 2014 01:51:49,400 --> 01:51:51,000 Speaker 8: cancer that she's being treated for. 2015 01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:53,559 Speaker 11: She happened? 2016 01:51:53,600 --> 01:51:56,120 Speaker 13: You know, she hasn't been for me. 2017 01:51:56,439 --> 01:51:59,720 Speaker 8: I don't like her past. Okay. And you know what, now, 2018 01:51:59,760 --> 01:52:04,400 Speaker 8: you're common in our community that we love people, we 2019 01:52:04,520 --> 01:52:08,200 Speaker 8: are loving on people, and we don't always have access 2020 01:52:08,560 --> 01:52:12,160 Speaker 8: sometimes even a family member, and we really will. 2021 01:52:12,120 --> 01:52:16,680 Speaker 11: Not have access to the specifics of what's going on. 2022 01:52:17,720 --> 01:52:21,720 Speaker 8: But I can tell you this that number one, you know, 2023 01:52:21,840 --> 01:52:27,120 Speaker 8: we often as a community we talk about parasites, and 2024 01:52:27,520 --> 01:52:34,080 Speaker 8: we have an impression that perhaps detoxing is consistent with 2025 01:52:34,280 --> 01:52:39,080 Speaker 8: the removal of parasites. But the first statement that I 2026 01:52:39,160 --> 01:52:43,720 Speaker 8: need to make is that so many persons that are 2027 01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:48,360 Speaker 8: looking at social media or googling things, or or trying 2028 01:52:48,479 --> 01:52:53,280 Speaker 8: to recounter culture to Western medicine, latch on to this 2029 01:52:53,479 --> 01:52:59,920 Speaker 8: word parasite and try to actually treat and eliminate parasites 2030 01:53:00,160 --> 01:53:04,320 Speaker 8: from a body because it's in a disease state, because 2031 01:53:04,360 --> 01:53:09,360 Speaker 8: it's not in a wellness state. Everybody is not affected 2032 01:53:09,479 --> 01:53:14,679 Speaker 8: by parasites. So some of the parasite remedies for human 2033 01:53:14,800 --> 01:53:19,760 Speaker 8: beings can include a mixture of evidence based and prescription 2034 01:53:19,960 --> 01:53:24,720 Speaker 8: based as well as natural, herbal and dietary approaches to 2035 01:53:24,880 --> 01:53:28,960 Speaker 8: being able to clear worms or what we call protozoa 2036 01:53:29,640 --> 01:53:33,360 Speaker 8: from your gut or from your intestines. And while many 2037 01:53:33,479 --> 01:53:38,360 Speaker 8: natural remedies are popular for reducing the quote symptoms and 2038 01:53:38,560 --> 01:53:44,360 Speaker 8: supporting your immune system, very serious infections actually require conventional 2039 01:53:44,439 --> 01:53:50,000 Speaker 8: medicine and treatment. What it sounds like, though, in your friend, 2040 01:53:50,320 --> 01:53:53,600 Speaker 8: is that what she's really going to benefit from, in 2041 01:53:53,720 --> 01:53:57,519 Speaker 8: addition to whatever treatment she may be seeking, is an 2042 01:53:57,640 --> 01:54:03,479 Speaker 8: overall reboot in her nutrient and that means whole foods, 2043 01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:08,040 Speaker 8: not processed foods, for her to intake, and if she's 2044 01:54:08,160 --> 01:54:13,320 Speaker 8: undergoing rounds of chemotherapy, then even smoothies, so you can 2045 01:54:13,400 --> 01:54:17,080 Speaker 8: certainly google recipes for smoothies and that sort of thing. 2046 01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:24,320 Speaker 8: If she has not been diagnosed with having penworms, intestinal parasites, 2047 01:54:25,040 --> 01:54:28,240 Speaker 8: or anything of that sort. I would really focus on 2048 01:54:29,080 --> 01:54:34,480 Speaker 8: her holistic treatment as a compliment for rebounding the body 2049 01:54:34,520 --> 01:54:40,320 Speaker 8: from cancer. Chemotherapy is enormously toxic. Yes, it works because 2050 01:54:40,440 --> 01:54:45,680 Speaker 8: cancer cells multiply so much faster than normal cells, and 2051 01:54:45,840 --> 01:54:49,720 Speaker 8: so when you target cancer cells, they are going to 2052 01:54:49,760 --> 01:54:53,360 Speaker 8: be hit so much more frequently than our normal cells. 2053 01:54:53,480 --> 01:54:57,160 Speaker 8: But our normal cells are affected, and that is where 2054 01:54:57,400 --> 01:55:01,680 Speaker 8: we take a punch when we're under going chemotherapy. So, 2055 01:55:02,360 --> 01:55:05,560 Speaker 8: getting this woman who you love and care about and 2056 01:55:05,680 --> 01:55:13,880 Speaker 8: have been praying for, nutrients like omega three, fatty assis, zinc, magnesium, soursop, 2057 01:55:14,400 --> 01:55:19,320 Speaker 8: whole foods shop, the perimeter of the grocery store, not 2058 01:55:19,520 --> 01:55:22,960 Speaker 8: the owls with all the chemicals and processed food. These 2059 01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:25,280 Speaker 8: are some of the things that will help her and 2060 01:55:25,440 --> 01:55:29,000 Speaker 8: pray for her because if she's a private woman, that's 2061 01:55:29,040 --> 01:55:32,080 Speaker 8: a part of our culture. So many of us are 2062 01:55:32,200 --> 01:55:35,800 Speaker 8: not disclosing the very things that we're praying about. Thank 2063 01:55:35,880 --> 01:55:37,720 Speaker 8: you so much for calling and being a part of 2064 01:55:37,760 --> 01:55:38,120 Speaker 8: the show. 2065 01:55:39,320 --> 01:55:43,160 Speaker 1: Thank you all righty, thank you Lisa. Before I take 2066 01:55:43,200 --> 01:55:45,880 Speaker 1: the next call for you, you mentioned pray. Praying is 2067 01:55:45,960 --> 01:55:49,760 Speaker 1: prayer something that you recommend too, What about it if 2068 01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:51,240 Speaker 1: the person is a non believer. 2069 01:55:51,160 --> 01:55:55,520 Speaker 8: Doctor A Well, Carl, thank you for tapping into that 2070 01:55:55,680 --> 01:55:58,840 Speaker 8: part of my commentary. I think that is a very 2071 01:55:59,160 --> 01:56:04,240 Speaker 8: very essential part of our African culture. We come from 2072 01:56:04,360 --> 01:56:08,480 Speaker 8: praying people, so you don't have to believe in a religion. 2073 01:56:09,120 --> 01:56:12,800 Speaker 8: You don't have to ascribe to a belief system. But 2074 01:56:13,000 --> 01:56:17,720 Speaker 8: being a believer means that you, being in the flesh, 2075 01:56:18,480 --> 01:56:21,960 Speaker 8: have a comprehension of quantum physics, Carl. 2076 01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:25,320 Speaker 13: So even science says. 2077 01:56:25,320 --> 01:56:28,320 Speaker 8: We're bigger than who we are, We're bigger than the 2078 01:56:28,400 --> 01:56:32,280 Speaker 8: accumulation of atoms that make the physical being that you 2079 01:56:32,440 --> 01:56:36,520 Speaker 8: happen to see manifesting. We do have an aura, We 2080 01:56:36,800 --> 01:56:41,320 Speaker 8: do connect with the rest of the universe. All living beings, 2081 01:56:41,720 --> 01:56:46,520 Speaker 8: not just human beings, have a component of spirituality. So 2082 01:56:46,720 --> 01:56:50,320 Speaker 8: it doesn't matter what the human beings belief system. We 2083 01:56:50,640 --> 01:56:53,600 Speaker 8: have a diaspora, just like we have a diaspora of 2084 01:56:53,680 --> 01:56:58,400 Speaker 8: our eye color and our skin complexion. There's a diaspora 2085 01:56:58,600 --> 01:57:03,080 Speaker 8: of belief among our people. But as we cross the globe, 2086 01:57:03,640 --> 01:57:08,240 Speaker 8: we do have to believe, especially in these turbulent times, Carl. 2087 01:57:08,320 --> 01:57:11,800 Speaker 8: We are in times where if the only thing that 2088 01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:16,160 Speaker 8: you go on are the factual evidence presented to you 2089 01:57:16,320 --> 01:57:20,960 Speaker 8: by mass media, you'll become depressed or suicidal. You have 2090 01:57:21,240 --> 01:57:24,000 Speaker 8: to have a sense of faith, and like I said, 2091 01:57:24,160 --> 01:57:27,080 Speaker 8: even if you don't ascribe to a religion, you can 2092 01:57:27,200 --> 01:57:31,960 Speaker 8: look to study quantum physics to understand that your physical 2093 01:57:32,120 --> 01:57:38,560 Speaker 8: self is actually so much greater. Yes, believing and praying 2094 01:57:39,120 --> 01:57:41,560 Speaker 8: and tapping in. We just saw the monks take what 2095 01:57:41,720 --> 01:57:46,000 Speaker 8: a three thousand man journey in prayer. 2096 01:57:46,520 --> 01:57:47,839 Speaker 13: They number one. 2097 01:57:47,840 --> 01:57:52,240 Speaker 8: When two are more, gather and affirm the same thing. 2098 01:57:52,400 --> 01:57:55,440 Speaker 8: There's power in that. When we come together as a 2099 01:57:55,560 --> 01:57:58,360 Speaker 8: massive there's power in that. There was power in the 2100 01:57:58,440 --> 01:58:01,160 Speaker 8: million man march. There was how your power in the 2101 01:58:01,240 --> 01:58:05,360 Speaker 8: millium woman march. There's power when we collectively pray as families. 2102 01:58:05,640 --> 01:58:09,520 Speaker 8: There's power when we collectively pray as church families.

I know you remember COVID. 2126 01:59:09,160 --> 01:59:12,440 Speaker 16: A lot of people took this COVID shot and now 2127 01:59:12,640 --> 01:59:14,920 Speaker 16: most of them don't understand when they go to the 2128 01:59:14,960 --> 01:59:18,080 Speaker 16: hospital they say they have fil posy or something like that. 2129 01:59:19,040 --> 01:59:22,880 Speaker 16: What can you tell the community the other people, uh, 2130 01:59:23,480 --> 01:59:25,760 Speaker 16: what do they need to do to get that just 2131 01:59:25,920 --> 01:59:28,640 Speaker 16: simptoms because they're they're side of their places are messed 2132 01:59:28,720 --> 01:59:30,840 Speaker 16: up and stuff like that. And I don't think that 2133 01:59:31,120 --> 01:59:34,000 Speaker 16: no one really understands that someone went to the burgency 2134 01:59:34,080 --> 01:59:36,240 Speaker 16: room and they just checked them out into them. They 2135 01:59:36,280 --> 01:59:38,680 Speaker 16: didn't have a have a stroke or art attack. It's 2136 01:59:38,760 --> 01:59:42,320 Speaker 16: just it's just a fair posy, uh, because it has 2137 01:59:42,400 --> 01:59:45,120 Speaker 16: anything to do with the the COVID that they took. 2138 01:59:45,200 --> 01:59:49,640 Speaker 16: That for those people are hearing through the communities. But well, 2139 01:59:49,640 --> 01:59:53,120 Speaker 16: I mean, can you help them and do what needs 2140 01:59:53,120 --> 01:59:55,360 Speaker 16: to be doing them? What can they do about that? 2141 01:59:56,880 --> 02:00:00,400 Speaker 8: Well, first of all, thank you for calling in. Mark. 2142 02:00:00,600 --> 02:00:05,360 Speaker 8: We appreciate you joining the conversation on this Tony Morrison's birthday. 2143 02:00:06,520 --> 02:00:09,560 Speaker 8: Let me share with the community what we're talking about. 2144 02:00:10,480 --> 02:00:15,480 Speaker 8: Mark's concerns are real based concerns we know and you 2145 02:00:15,560 --> 02:00:21,400 Speaker 8: know the community, the medical community of America has now admitted, yes, 2146 02:00:21,880 --> 02:00:28,640 Speaker 8: there have been negative consequences adverse effects of us rushing 2147 02:00:28,760 --> 02:00:33,520 Speaker 8: out the COVID vaccine. So again, to interpret that is 2148 02:00:33,640 --> 02:00:37,200 Speaker 8: not to say let's all be anti vacs about everything. 2149 02:00:37,960 --> 02:00:40,920 Speaker 8: You know, A separate critical discussion is what's happening in 2150 02:00:41,040 --> 02:00:45,200 Speaker 8: our school systems with this measles epidemic, and so it 2151 02:00:45,440 --> 02:00:51,200 Speaker 8: is critical that we educate ourselves properly about all vaccinations. 2152 02:00:51,240 --> 02:00:53,920 Speaker 8: They're not all the same. They didn't all get released 2153 02:00:53,960 --> 02:00:57,640 Speaker 8: in the same way. The COVID shot in particular was 2154 02:00:57,760 --> 02:01:02,440 Speaker 8: released under crisis and certainly was hurried out to the public, 2155 02:01:02,760 --> 02:01:06,720 Speaker 8: and we had multiple pharmaceutical companies vying for the billions 2156 02:01:06,760 --> 02:01:11,040 Speaker 8: of dollars. Then all of a sudden, it became mandatory 2157 02:01:11,360 --> 02:01:15,160 Speaker 8: for certain workforces to get the COVID shot to return 2158 02:01:15,240 --> 02:01:19,280 Speaker 8: to work. So there were a lot of political social 2159 02:01:19,560 --> 02:01:25,040 Speaker 8: implications behind the COVID vaccine. In particular, Bell's palsy is 2160 02:01:25,120 --> 02:01:30,240 Speaker 8: what he specifically brought up. Bell's palsy is a temporary 2161 02:01:30,560 --> 02:01:36,920 Speaker 8: sudden weakness or paralysis of the muscles on the side 2162 02:01:37,040 --> 02:01:41,080 Speaker 8: of your face, and it's caused by inflammation. So again 2163 02:01:41,160 --> 02:01:44,600 Speaker 8: we talked about inflammation Carl at the start of the show. 2164 02:01:45,000 --> 02:01:49,080 Speaker 8: That's why I intentionally spoke broadly to touch as many 2165 02:01:49,240 --> 02:01:54,600 Speaker 8: listeners as humanly possible. Inflammation touches so many things to 2166 02:01:54,720 --> 02:01:58,160 Speaker 8: go wrong with the human body. So when the seventh 2167 02:01:58,280 --> 02:02:05,720 Speaker 8: cranial nerve becomes inflamed, the symptoms are facial paralysis or 2168 02:02:05,800 --> 02:02:09,120 Speaker 8: weakness on one side of your face. The symptoms can 2169 02:02:09,200 --> 02:02:14,600 Speaker 8: be drooping mouth, difficulty closing your eyes. You're drooling out 2170 02:02:14,680 --> 02:02:18,840 Speaker 8: of your mouth, uncontrollably. Your taste and your sense of 2171 02:02:18,960 --> 02:02:22,840 Speaker 8: taste changes a lot of times. You will recover over 2172 02:02:22,960 --> 02:02:26,720 Speaker 8: two weeks to six months. But things that can trigger 2173 02:02:26,920 --> 02:02:34,200 Speaker 8: Bell's palsy include inflammation, viral infections, and yes, some persons 2174 02:02:34,240 --> 02:02:38,960 Speaker 8: have experienced this directly resulting from getting the COVID vaccine. 2175 02:02:39,440 --> 02:02:44,240 Speaker 8: Your body received a vaccination and depending on your own 2176 02:02:44,320 --> 02:02:48,680 Speaker 8: immune system status, you did or did not respond to that. 2177 02:02:49,240 --> 02:02:53,960 Speaker 8: Some people took a vaccine two, three, four times, got boosters, 2178 02:02:54,440 --> 02:02:58,040 Speaker 8: and still their body failed to have an immune response. 2179 02:02:59,120 --> 02:03:04,960 Speaker 8: Other persons took an mRNA virus vaccine, and the mRNA 2180 02:03:05,160 --> 02:03:10,600 Speaker 8: vaccine incorporates in your DNA in a different way than 2181 02:03:10,640 --> 02:03:14,160 Speaker 8: a killed vaccine or a different type of live vaccine. 2182 02:03:14,680 --> 02:03:21,520 Speaker 8: So specifically looking into the effects of mRNA vaccines is 2183 02:03:21,600 --> 02:03:24,360 Speaker 8: a part of what we need to do as a listenership. 2184 02:03:24,520 --> 02:03:27,200 Speaker 8: I advise you to do that because we don't have 2185 02:03:27,400 --> 02:03:31,919 Speaker 8: enough time on the airways to cover every single negative 2186 02:03:32,360 --> 02:03:37,040 Speaker 8: adverse effect that occurred from the covid shot by mass. 2187 02:03:37,720 --> 02:03:41,160 Speaker 8: Persons are showing up with Bell's palsy. Persons are also 2188 02:03:41,280 --> 02:03:47,000 Speaker 8: showing up with coagulopathies. They're developing blood clots, they're throwing 2189 02:03:47,120 --> 02:03:51,160 Speaker 8: clots and having strokes, having heart attacks, whereas they never 2190 02:03:51,440 --> 02:03:55,600 Speaker 8: had a risk factor for a coagulopathy previously. So there 2191 02:03:55,640 --> 02:03:59,520 Speaker 8: are many different consequences that have come about from COVID 2192 02:04:00,160 --> 02:04:04,760 Speaker 8: other persons that have had zero adverse effect. Everybody that 2193 02:04:04,880 --> 02:04:07,560 Speaker 8: got the shot didn't have an adverse effect. You may 2194 02:04:07,640 --> 02:04:11,760 Speaker 8: have a subpopulation that maybe two to four percent of 2195 02:04:11,880 --> 02:04:14,000 Speaker 8: the US population, right and hold up. 2196 02:04:13,960 --> 02:04:15,680 Speaker 1: All right there, doctor, Hey, we got to step aside 2197 02:04:15,680 --> 02:04:16,280 Speaker 1: for a few moments. 2198 02:04:16,360 --> 02:04:16,760 Speaker 3: I'll let you. 2199 02:04:16,840 --> 02:04:18,520 Speaker 1: And this is really important because a lot of people 2200 02:04:18,560 --> 02:04:20,560 Speaker 1: took the shot and every time we have a doctor 2201 02:04:20,600 --> 02:04:22,760 Speaker 1: on there asking is there a reversal? There's something I 2202 02:04:22,840 --> 02:04:25,280 Speaker 1: can do, and I want you to go down that 2203 02:04:25,440 --> 02:04:27,840 Speaker 1: road and help those folks as well. Family, you've got 2204 02:04:27,880 --> 02:04:30,280 Speaker 1: a health challenge and a question about health, and you 2205 02:04:30,360 --> 02:04:32,640 Speaker 1: want to see one of the best doctors we've got. 2206 02:04:32,920 --> 02:04:34,920 Speaker 1: Her name is doctor A. You can reach her at 2207 02:04:34,960 --> 02:04:38,200 Speaker 1: eight hundred four or five zero seventy eight seventy six 2208 02:04:38,200 --> 02:04:40,320 Speaker 1: and we'll take your phone calls. Next and Grand Rising 2209 02:04:40,400 --> 02:04:42,400 Speaker 1: Family acts just staying with us on this Wednesday, Monday 2210 02:04:42,400 --> 02:04:45,120 Speaker 1: with our guest doctor. As I mentioned, doctor A is 2211 02:04:45,120 --> 02:04:48,280 Speaker 1: a traditional doctor and also a holistic a natropathic doctor. 2212 02:04:48,320 --> 02:04:49,920 Speaker 1: So you've got it both ways.

And again, 2216 02:04:55,960 --> 02:04:58,280 Speaker 1: don't be bashful about this when it comes to your health. 2217 02:04:58,320 --> 02:05:01,160 Speaker 1: Be proactive because it's only you. You are the one 2218 02:05:01,200 --> 02:05:03,120 Speaker 1: who could make the decision. Nobody else can make the 2219 02:05:03,200 --> 02:05:05,480 Speaker 1: decision for you. Don't wait till the last minute to 2220 02:05:05,520 --> 02:05:07,200 Speaker 1: ask doctor A a question like many. If you do 2221 02:05:07,320 --> 02:05:09,360 Speaker 1: every time she's on, it's a whole bunch of calls 2222 02:05:09,400 --> 02:05:11,480 Speaker 1: were left. So make sure you get in early at 2223 02:05:11,520 --> 02:05:14,720 Speaker 1: eight hundred four or five zero seventy eight seventy six. 2224 02:05:14,760 --> 02:05:16,160 Speaker 1: And again you don't have to use your real name 2225 02:05:16,200 --> 02:05:18,080 Speaker 1: of your real city. Doctor A doesn't care. She wants 2226 02:05:18,160 --> 02:05:19,840 Speaker 1: to help you. And before we go back to it, 2227 02:05:19,960 --> 02:05:22,920 Speaker 1: let me just rebind. Oh, today's I got a shout 2228 02:05:22,960 --> 02:05:26,160 Speaker 1: out our Muslim brothers and sisters Ramadan mdark my barak 2229 02:05:26,200 --> 02:05:28,880 Speaker 1: and they start Ramadan today and they are not eating 2230 02:05:28,960 --> 02:05:33,200 Speaker 1: too till dusk, so they're fasting and all day long. 2231 02:05:33,400 --> 02:05:35,960 Speaker 1: And also it's ash Wednesday for the Christians, especially the 2232 02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:37,880 Speaker 1: Catholic folks. If you go on the stores or go 2233 02:05:37,960 --> 02:05:40,320 Speaker 1: out today, you'll see them with that cross mark on 2234 02:05:40,560 --> 02:05:44,040 Speaker 1: their foreheads. You know that's I guess that's for ash 2235 02:05:44,080 --> 02:05:46,440 Speaker 1: Wednesday leading up to Easter coming up next month. And 2236 02:05:46,760 --> 02:05:48,960 Speaker 1: I shout out both of those groups eight hundred four 2237 02:05:49,040 --> 02:05:51,600 Speaker 1: or five zero seventy eight seventy six. Speak to doctor eight, 2238 02:05:51,640 --> 02:05:54,320 Speaker 1: doctor A, did you finish tell us about because again 2239 02:05:54,400 --> 02:05:56,440 Speaker 1: we always get this question about folks who have taken 2240 02:05:56,520 --> 02:05:59,480 Speaker 1: the JAB and taken more than one, one or two 2241 02:05:59,560 --> 02:06:02,160 Speaker 1: three times now we've seen all kinds of problems being 2242 02:06:02,480 --> 02:06:04,280 Speaker 1: you know, with some of the folks who've taken the JAB. 2243 02:06:04,440 --> 02:06:06,080 Speaker 1: I'll let you finish up that before I take another 2244 02:06:06,160 --> 02:06:06,560 Speaker 1: call for you. 2245 02:06:08,080 --> 02:06:13,760 Speaker 8: Okay, So again, Carl, the COVID vaccine was developed by 2246 02:06:14,120 --> 02:06:19,960 Speaker 8: several different companies, and there certainly are adverse effects that occurred. 2247 02:06:20,560 --> 02:06:23,000 Speaker 8: The first thing for people to know is you've got 2248 02:06:23,080 --> 02:06:27,680 Speaker 8: your own immune system, and so we're not all created equally. 2249 02:06:27,840 --> 02:06:31,280 Speaker 8: Not only are we different ages, but some of us 2250 02:06:31,400 --> 02:06:35,600 Speaker 8: have COD morbidities and others of us do not. So 2251 02:06:35,880 --> 02:06:39,360 Speaker 8: if you are a high risk person because of already 2252 02:06:39,440 --> 02:06:43,840 Speaker 8: having co morbidities, then the vaccine may have really affected 2253 02:06:43,960 --> 02:06:49,000 Speaker 8: you in a different way more often than not. What 2254 02:06:49,200 --> 02:06:52,280 Speaker 8: has happened with the covid vaccine. Since we now have 2255 02:06:52,480 --> 02:06:55,440 Speaker 8: rolled out and we still are not ten years out, Carl, 2256 02:06:55,760 --> 02:06:59,680 Speaker 8: so we still will be learning more adverse effects as 2257 02:06:59,720 --> 02:07:02,920 Speaker 8: time goes forward. But what we do know is that 2258 02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:09,120 Speaker 8: there have been cases where persons have coagulopathies. There have 2259 02:07:09,280 --> 02:07:14,880 Speaker 8: been cases where persons have strokes, where persons have heart attack. 2260 02:07:15,760 --> 02:07:19,480 Speaker 8: The brother called and asked about Bell's palsy, which is 2261 02:07:19,960 --> 02:07:24,760 Speaker 8: one of the less severe consequences because again Bell's palsy 2262 02:07:24,960 --> 02:07:31,200 Speaker 8: is most commonly temporarily temporary and reversible, so after two 2263 02:07:31,280 --> 02:07:34,440 Speaker 8: weeks to six months it goes away. A stroke or 2264 02:07:34,480 --> 02:07:37,560 Speaker 8: a heart attack, on the other hand, these are catastrophic, 2265 02:07:37,800 --> 02:07:42,760 Speaker 8: permanent events, So we really want to understand what is 2266 02:07:42,960 --> 02:07:46,680 Speaker 8: the inflammation that can occur to the heart muscle and 2267 02:07:46,800 --> 02:07:51,680 Speaker 8: to the heart lining that's observed with the mRNA vaccines. 2268 02:07:52,200 --> 02:07:55,600 Speaker 8: That is the most significant thing that we're really seeing. 2269 02:07:56,000 --> 02:08:01,360 Speaker 8: That's called myocarditis, and that's also a pericardidem So both 2270 02:08:01,560 --> 02:08:07,560 Speaker 8: things have been seen with this mRNA covid vaccination. Certain 2271 02:08:07,880 --> 02:08:14,720 Speaker 8: various strains of the vaccine, meaning produced by specific pharmaceutical 2272 02:08:14,800 --> 02:08:20,640 Speaker 8: companies also have been associated with specific consequences and complications. 2273 02:08:21,080 --> 02:08:27,839 Speaker 8: For example, the Johnson and Johnson vaccine specifically was linked 2274 02:08:28,360 --> 02:08:34,560 Speaker 8: to rare cases where persons did develop low platelets even 2275 02:08:34,640 --> 02:08:38,360 Speaker 8: to the point of fatality. So again, there are many 2276 02:08:38,680 --> 02:08:44,280 Speaker 8: rolling out consequences, even change in neurologic status to the 2277 02:08:44,360 --> 02:08:49,120 Speaker 8: point where you are delirious or you're experiencing what looks 2278 02:08:49,240 --> 02:08:53,240 Speaker 8: like in early dementia and you never had those symptoms 2279 02:08:53,640 --> 02:08:57,720 Speaker 8: prior to taking the vaccine. What we really need is 2280 02:08:58,000 --> 02:09:03,120 Speaker 8: research within our community, studies that we control where no 2281 02:09:03,280 --> 02:09:07,120 Speaker 8: we're not jabbing people, but we're following. That's called a 2282 02:09:07,240 --> 02:09:11,880 Speaker 8: case control study, where it's retrospective. You already look at 2283 02:09:12,200 --> 02:09:14,360 Speaker 8: who are the Pan Africans that did not take the 2284 02:09:14,480 --> 02:09:19,360 Speaker 8: vaccine and then match them demographically to persons that received it. 2285 02:09:19,680 --> 02:09:22,600 Speaker 8: And we do our own data collection of what are 2286 02:09:22,680 --> 02:09:28,160 Speaker 8: the effects over the ten years following mandatory vaccination of 2287 02:09:28,240 --> 02:09:29,080 Speaker 8: American people? 2288 02:09:30,720 --> 02:09:32,040 Speaker 1: All right, hold on, all right there, We've got a 2289 02:09:32,040 --> 02:09:33,600 Speaker 1: bunch of folks want to talk to you. Doctor. Hey, 2290 02:09:33,680 --> 02:09:35,480 Speaker 1: Mark and Houston, thank you for your call. Let's go 2291 02:09:35,520 --> 02:09:38,080 Speaker 1: to Maryland and Marie is waiting for us online.

Thanks to the Most High unmighty for 2295 02:09:47,720 --> 02:09:51,760 Speaker 13: keeping us amen. My question is thank you for doctor 2296 02:09:51,840 --> 02:09:53,760 Speaker 13: A for what you just shared too. Because I have 2297 02:09:53,840 --> 02:09:56,920 Speaker 13: a sister's returned from the military and lo and behold 2298 02:09:57,080 --> 02:10:00,840 Speaker 13: she's having dementia only six the eight years old. My 2299 02:10:00,920 --> 02:10:03,600 Speaker 13: heart is heavy every day and I'm keeping the faith 2300 02:10:03,800 --> 02:10:07,440 Speaker 13: and I'm praying, could you please share with me if 2301 02:10:07,520 --> 02:10:11,480 Speaker 13: there's what could I do. She's in rehab right now, 2302 02:10:11,600 --> 02:10:15,120 Speaker 13: but again not getting any physical movement and it's just 2303 02:10:15,280 --> 02:10:17,880 Speaker 13: she's just there. I have to push with them to 2304 02:10:17,920 --> 02:10:19,880 Speaker 13: give her mega threes because they weren't giving her that. 2305 02:10:20,480 --> 02:10:23,280 Speaker 13: And I'm holistic all the way. My family members think 2306 02:10:23,320 --> 02:10:27,560 Speaker 13: I'm often cool, cool, whatever, but I stand firmly with that. 2307 02:10:27,800 --> 02:10:31,600 Speaker 13: In my case personally, I have visual vision issues and 2308 02:10:31,680 --> 02:10:35,440 Speaker 13: I'm praying that there's hope. And the last question is 2309 02:10:35,760 --> 02:10:38,360 Speaker 13: if one goes holistic, is that a great way? Not 2310 02:10:38,520 --> 02:10:43,600 Speaker 13: holistic I'm sorry, non animal protein like cut it out completely? 2311 02:10:44,040 --> 02:10:46,440 Speaker 13: Do we have a better chance of recovery moving forward? 2312 02:10:47,840 --> 02:10:48,560 Speaker 13: Thank you, Curly. 2313 02:10:50,480 --> 02:10:54,080 Speaker 8: First of all, Marie, thank you, thank you, thank you 2314 02:10:54,280 --> 02:10:59,600 Speaker 8: for calling for transparency, for your loving hearts. You started 2315 02:10:59,640 --> 02:11:04,320 Speaker 8: with affirmation for our entire community and then trying to 2316 02:11:04,400 --> 02:11:09,640 Speaker 8: bless your sister first and foremost. In dealing with dementia, 2317 02:11:10,200 --> 02:11:14,280 Speaker 8: we can certainly take a number of holistic approaches. The 2318 02:11:14,400 --> 02:11:17,960 Speaker 8: fact that she's in nursing care, she's not even seventy 2319 02:11:18,120 --> 02:11:21,240 Speaker 8: years of age. We want to do everything to re 2320 02:11:21,440 --> 02:11:26,520 Speaker 8: engage this sister, re engage her mind. It is still there. 2321 02:11:26,760 --> 02:11:30,040 Speaker 8: It wasn't eaten by a quote parasite. Okay. So the 2322 02:11:30,160 --> 02:11:32,720 Speaker 8: fact of the matter is this, we need to understand 2323 02:11:32,840 --> 02:11:36,800 Speaker 8: what is the underlying cause for her dementia. So that's 2324 02:11:36,880 --> 02:11:40,400 Speaker 8: the first thing. This is a new onset. She did 2325 02:11:40,520 --> 02:11:45,360 Speaker 8: not previously have it. Thank her for her service to 2326 02:11:45,520 --> 02:11:49,080 Speaker 8: all of us because she served in the military. She 2327 02:11:49,240 --> 02:11:52,840 Speaker 8: stood in the gap for everybody. Was she exposed to 2328 02:11:53,080 --> 02:11:58,600 Speaker 8: something chemically or environmentally? You need to get down to 2329 02:11:59,360 --> 02:12:03,640 Speaker 8: what is the undergoing There's so many underlying causes for dementia. 2330 02:12:04,320 --> 02:12:07,360 Speaker 8: You don't just want to manage symptoms. We want to 2331 02:12:07,480 --> 02:12:11,000 Speaker 8: improve her quality of life. But if we can ascertain 2332 02:12:11,280 --> 02:12:15,120 Speaker 8: the actual causality, we may do a lot more benefit 2333 02:12:15,240 --> 02:12:19,160 Speaker 8: to her. So there are a combination of lifestyle adjustments 2334 02:12:19,560 --> 02:12:24,080 Speaker 8: and natural supplements and therapy that can be an adjunct 2335 02:12:24,120 --> 02:12:28,920 Speaker 8: to whatever medication she may be on. Ginkobaloba is a 2336 02:12:29,120 --> 02:12:35,000 Speaker 8: natural supplement that is extremely impactful on the brain and 2337 02:12:35,160 --> 02:12:40,040 Speaker 8: on our memory. Or Mega three fatty acids. Music and 2338 02:12:40,320 --> 02:12:44,160 Speaker 8: art therapy. You really want to infuse that because more 2339 02:12:44,240 --> 02:12:47,440 Speaker 8: and more studies show in the very young and the 2340 02:12:47,600 --> 02:12:53,040 Speaker 8: very old, music therapy re engages their brain in ways 2341 02:12:53,120 --> 02:12:58,160 Speaker 8: that math, reading and even crossword puzzles cannot. In terms 2342 02:12:58,240 --> 02:13:01,840 Speaker 8: of her diet and nutrition, and a well balanced diet 2343 02:13:02,000 --> 02:13:07,640 Speaker 8: becomes critical, so nutrient dense foods again, Omega three fatty acids, 2344 02:13:08,920 --> 02:13:14,040 Speaker 8: things that support brain health. The vitamin B complexes are 2345 02:13:14,160 --> 02:13:17,920 Speaker 8: important to the brain. Vitamin D three is important to 2346 02:13:18,000 --> 02:13:20,800 Speaker 8: the brain. You don't want her in a nursing facility 2347 02:13:21,120 --> 02:13:25,200 Speaker 8: where she gets zero sunlight. She does need sunlight and 2348 02:13:25,400 --> 02:13:28,800 Speaker 8: probably needs supplement on vitamin D just because she's in 2349 02:13:28,880 --> 02:13:34,040 Speaker 8: a nursing facility. She needs regular exercise that includes walking 2350 02:13:34,600 --> 02:13:39,640 Speaker 8: and light resistance training. I don't know her cardiovascular condition, 2351 02:13:40,320 --> 02:13:45,000 Speaker 8: but cardiovascular health is improved even with the walking. We 2352 02:13:45,120 --> 02:13:47,840 Speaker 8: want to strengthen her muscles, and we want to make 2353 02:13:47,880 --> 02:13:51,040 Speaker 8: sure we have fall prevention in place. So those are 2354 02:13:51,160 --> 02:13:54,400 Speaker 8: some of the modalities as a loving sister that you 2355 02:13:54,480 --> 02:13:55,240 Speaker 8: can tap into. 2356 02:13:57,240 --> 02:14:01,600 Speaker 13: Douca A. She's not walking, she's not speaking, and it's 2357 02:14:01,880 --> 02:14:06,240 Speaker 13: very fastication. But I thank you so much. And for myself, 2358 02:14:06,840 --> 02:14:09,000 Speaker 13: she returned from the military. I don't know I serve, 2359 02:14:09,080 --> 02:14:12,200 Speaker 13: but I got out. I got the message I was out, 2360 02:14:12,520 --> 02:14:14,800 Speaker 13: and she went in without even telling me. And she's 2361 02:14:14,800 --> 02:14:19,240 Speaker 13: always been private. So it's just a lot on my plate. 2362 02:14:19,280 --> 02:14:21,800 Speaker 13: I'm trying to survive myself and it's very stressful. 2363 02:14:22,400 --> 02:14:25,840 Speaker 8: So okay, okay, would you suggest if she's if she's 2364 02:14:25,960 --> 02:14:29,920 Speaker 8: not walking or talking, if this is that extreme, then again, 2365 02:14:30,440 --> 02:14:36,040 Speaker 8: what really becomes important smoothies, dinko baloba omega three fatty 2366 02:14:36,080 --> 02:14:41,480 Speaker 8: acid as supplements for her, music therapy for her because 2367 02:14:41,640 --> 02:14:44,160 Speaker 8: this has gone to the extreme. And you're right, her 2368 02:14:44,280 --> 02:14:47,720 Speaker 8: service is in the military and how much that impacted this, 2369 02:14:48,040 --> 02:14:51,320 Speaker 8: we're never going to know mm hm exactly. 2370 02:14:51,920 --> 02:14:54,800 Speaker 13: All right, Thank you, Mary, God bless you.

And firstly, and talking about 2407 02:16:51,800 --> 02:16:56,920 Speaker 8: osteo athritis, that's very broad, that's very very broad. So 2408 02:16:57,520 --> 02:17:03,640 Speaker 8: in knowing did you select the best modality for your knees? 2409 02:17:04,680 --> 02:17:05,280 Speaker 13: Number one? 2410 02:17:05,879 --> 02:17:09,800 Speaker 8: Are you a former athlete? Number two? Are you a smoker? 2411 02:17:10,320 --> 02:17:13,039 Speaker 8: Number three? Are you OBEs? Those three things? 2412 02:17:14,480 --> 02:17:15,800 Speaker 7: Somewhat?

See that's important 2419 02:17:31,360 --> 02:17:34,520 Speaker 8: because those of us who are not athletic and not 2420 02:17:34,720 --> 02:17:37,879 Speaker 8: former athletes, we don't even fall in the same category, 2421 02:17:38,320 --> 02:17:43,600 Speaker 8: even at age fifty sixty seventy a former athlete versus 2422 02:17:43,840 --> 02:17:47,800 Speaker 8: non we're in two different categories. Second question John, was 2423 02:17:47,879 --> 02:17:52,840 Speaker 8: are you a smoker? No, okay, you don't smoke good 2424 02:17:53,400 --> 02:17:57,359 Speaker 8: and because that affects bone health for the listening audience, 2425 02:17:58,000 --> 02:18:01,320 Speaker 8: when you smoke tobacco on a record, the basis, okay, 2426 02:18:01,800 --> 02:18:06,720 Speaker 8: when you are addicted to nicotine, you are definitely accelerating 2427 02:18:07,120 --> 02:18:11,440 Speaker 8: the death of your bones. You're definitely not contributing to 2428 02:18:11,600 --> 02:18:15,360 Speaker 8: bone health, bone growth, or anything of that sort. You 2429 02:18:15,520 --> 02:18:23,240 Speaker 8: are tremendously more likely to experience osteoarthritis and outright osteoporosis 2430 02:18:23,320 --> 02:18:28,080 Speaker 8: and fracture. The third question was about weight. Are you obese? 2431 02:18:30,560 --> 02:18:34,920 Speaker 7: I'm somewhere, you know, I don't consume myself with somewhere. 2432 02:18:34,959 --> 02:18:37,000 Speaker 7: It's like I can lose a few pounds. 2433 02:18:37,879 --> 02:18:41,000 Speaker 8: Okay, okay, so these are really important things. So in 2434 02:18:41,120 --> 02:18:45,440 Speaker 8: other words, and many former athletes, okay, you can either 2435 02:18:45,720 --> 02:18:51,400 Speaker 8: you know, have a track runner body or a football 2436 02:18:51,560 --> 02:18:56,440 Speaker 8: linebacker body. Both are categories of former athletes. So it 2437 02:18:56,600 --> 02:19:02,120 Speaker 8: sounds like in your younger days you participant as an athlete, 2438 02:19:02,600 --> 02:19:06,320 Speaker 8: and now that you're non athletic, your body weight is heavier. 2439 02:19:06,520 --> 02:19:08,400 Speaker 8: Is that correct, right? 2440 02:19:08,680 --> 02:19:11,720 Speaker 7: But I also I also was a jogger in a 2441 02:19:11,840 --> 02:19:15,320 Speaker 7: walker You know, so those I did that after I 2442 02:19:15,360 --> 02:19:19,760 Speaker 7: started playing football. I started jogging of the day. 2443 02:19:20,640 --> 02:19:24,680 Speaker 8: Okay, So you you have tremendous impact onto your knees, 2444 02:19:25,360 --> 02:19:28,560 Speaker 8: and so for somebody who's having continual impact, do you 2445 02:19:28,680 --> 02:19:30,680 Speaker 8: wear a brace regularly on your knee? 2446 02:19:32,000 --> 02:19:35,120 Speaker 7: I tried everything, you know, the sneeze, you know, the no. 2447 02:19:35,240 --> 02:19:37,440 Speaker 8: No, it's not gonna be a be all in all. 2448 02:19:38,600 --> 02:19:40,840 Speaker 8: It's not the be all in all. Your your problem 2449 02:19:41,000 --> 02:19:43,920 Speaker 8: is very deep and it's been going on for decades. 2450 02:19:44,040 --> 02:19:46,920 Speaker 8: So I don't suggest did you do this one thing 2451 02:19:47,080 --> 02:19:50,200 Speaker 8: to be paying free. I'm asking you in terms of 2452 02:19:50,320 --> 02:19:54,240 Speaker 8: lifestyle and habit, do you regularly wear a brace? 2453 02:19:55,360 --> 02:19:55,400 Speaker 3: No? 2454 02:19:56,600 --> 02:19:59,959 Speaker 8: Okay? So no, So with all those things being the case, 2455 02:20:01,320 --> 02:20:06,160 Speaker 8: whether you chose as you did to do the embolization, 2456 02:20:06,600 --> 02:20:11,400 Speaker 8: or you chose the jail therapy or the knee replacement, 2457 02:20:11,959 --> 02:20:16,800 Speaker 8: you need physical therapy. You need a physical therapist that 2458 02:20:17,160 --> 02:20:22,920 Speaker 8: really engages you. And somebody who is going to show doctor. 2459 02:20:22,680 --> 02:20:25,320 Speaker 1: A hold up a response there for a second doctor. 2460 02:20:25,520 --> 02:20:27,240 Speaker 1: We've got to take a short break so our stations 2461 02:20:27,240 --> 02:20:29,800 Speaker 1: can identify themselves down the line. Family, you got to 2462 02:20:29,879 --> 02:20:32,320 Speaker 1: question a health concern or you know somebody who does 2463 02:20:32,760 --> 02:20:34,920 Speaker 1: reach out to doctor A. You get both. You get 2464 02:20:34,959 --> 02:20:38,760 Speaker 1: both opinions, a traditional doctor's opinion and a natural panic 2465 02:20:38,840 --> 02:20:40,400 Speaker 1: doctor's opinion. All you got to do is give us 2466 02:20:40,400 --> 02:20:42,200 Speaker 1: a call it eight hundred and four or five zero 2467 02:20:42,720 --> 02:20:45,199 Speaker 1: seventy eight seventy six, and we'll take you phone calls 2468 02:20:45,320 --> 02:20:47,720 Speaker 1: next and Grand Rising family, thanks for rolling with us 2469 02:20:47,760 --> 02:20:49,880 Speaker 1: on this Wednesday morning with our guest, the doctor A. 2470 02:20:50,040 --> 02:20:52,920 Speaker 1: As I mentioned, he's a traditional dictor, you know, with 2471 02:20:53,040 --> 02:20:56,320 Speaker 1: the white suits and holistic doctor. And that's a rare occurrence, 2472 02:20:56,400 --> 02:20:59,040 Speaker 1: especially in our community. I know how it is. You're 2473 02:20:59,040 --> 02:21:00,520 Speaker 1: trying to find a doctor, and then when you do 2474 02:21:00,640 --> 02:21:03,560 Speaker 1: find a doctor and may get ten to fifteen minutes conversation, 2475 02:21:03,760 --> 02:21:06,520 Speaker 1: you're in and you're out if you can get an appointment. 2476 02:21:06,800 --> 02:21:08,320 Speaker 1: So if you've got a health concern, or you know 2477 02:21:08,400 --> 02:21:10,120 Speaker 1: somebody's got a health concern, this is the lady you 2478 02:21:10,160 --> 02:21:13,199 Speaker 1: need to talk to. Family, and please please take advantage 2479 02:21:13,240 --> 02:21:14,800 Speaker 1: of an expertise. You don't have to use your real 2480 02:21:14,920 --> 02:21:17,680 Speaker 1: name either or a real city, but doctor A is 2481 02:21:17,720 --> 02:21:19,840 Speaker 1: here to care for you. You don't get that kind 2482 02:21:19,879 --> 02:21:22,720 Speaker 1: of care, especially if those doctors who don't look like us, 2483 02:21:22,760 --> 02:21:24,520 Speaker 1: they don't care about us. Let's be honest with most 2484 02:21:24,520 --> 02:21:26,640 Speaker 1: of it, at least Johnny, I'll let you finish your 2485 02:21:26,720 --> 02:21:28,920 Speaker 1: question or doctor A was was responding to Johnny's question 2486 02:21:28,959 --> 02:21:31,240 Speaker 1: about a knee problem. So doctor almert you finishing. 2487 02:21:31,440 --> 02:21:35,640 Speaker 8: Let me let me be very specific, Carl. I had 2488 02:21:35,720 --> 02:21:40,960 Speaker 8: to ask Johnny questions because of the fact that osteoarthritis 2489 02:21:41,480 --> 02:21:46,800 Speaker 8: affects so broadly across this country. The baby boomers are aging, 2490 02:21:47,280 --> 02:21:51,200 Speaker 8: so with aging baby boomers, they all have osteoarthritis. So 2491 02:21:51,480 --> 02:21:55,840 Speaker 8: for my comprehension from him, he's a former athlete and 2492 02:21:56,120 --> 02:22:01,440 Speaker 8: he approached a non surgical modality of help. And what 2493 02:22:01,600 --> 02:22:06,119 Speaker 8: I'm basically advising him is this, as a heavyweight brother, 2494 02:22:06,840 --> 02:22:10,080 Speaker 8: he probably would want to stay out of the operating room, 2495 02:22:10,160 --> 02:22:14,960 Speaker 8: which means obesity or anything near obesity is a risk 2496 02:22:15,080 --> 02:22:18,119 Speaker 8: factor for surgery. It's a risk factor for being put 2497 02:22:18,240 --> 02:22:22,240 Speaker 8: under anesthesia. So it needs to be taken into account 2498 02:22:22,640 --> 02:22:26,640 Speaker 8: in terms of what modality is best for me as 2499 02:22:26,680 --> 02:22:32,600 Speaker 8: an individual. Broadly, there's so many options to treat osteoathritis 2500 02:22:33,080 --> 02:22:43,160 Speaker 8: from medications, injections, topical agents, natural remedies, acupressure, acupuncture, taking 2501 02:22:43,280 --> 02:22:50,360 Speaker 8: glucosamine to a condroiten, getting massage, therapy, etc. Overall, the 2502 02:22:50,520 --> 02:22:56,800 Speaker 8: specific advice is person by person, but in general, osteoathritis 2503 02:22:56,920 --> 02:23:00,560 Speaker 8: is something Once you get it, you're not gonna resolve it. 2504 02:23:00,720 --> 02:23:04,080 Speaker 8: Like Bell's palsy. You've got it for life. So my 2505 02:23:04,280 --> 02:23:09,720 Speaker 8: advice basically to Johnny, you need to be taking conjoining 2506 02:23:09,800 --> 02:23:13,879 Speaker 8: and glucosamine. Those are supplements. Take them for the rest 2507 02:23:13,959 --> 02:23:18,200 Speaker 8: of your life. That the modality that you picked may 2508 02:23:18,320 --> 02:23:22,560 Speaker 8: only last for a certain amount of time unless you 2509 02:23:22,800 --> 02:23:26,320 Speaker 8: do the backup work. I advise you to get a 2510 02:23:26,400 --> 02:23:29,640 Speaker 8: physical therapist, not for the rest of your life, but 2511 02:23:29,840 --> 02:23:33,240 Speaker 8: perhaps for three months, so that that person can guide 2512 02:23:33,320 --> 02:23:37,120 Speaker 8: you post treatment. What do you now need to do 2513 02:23:37,400 --> 02:23:43,000 Speaker 8: to maintain and not deteriorate your new functioning need? What 2514 02:23:43,200 --> 02:23:45,840 Speaker 8: do you need to do to prevent the wear and 2515 02:23:46,040 --> 02:23:49,120 Speaker 8: tear that will put you back in the gutter? Back 2516 02:23:49,160 --> 02:23:53,520 Speaker 8: at step one? How can you prevent forward going needing 2517 02:23:53,560 --> 02:23:57,160 Speaker 8: a knee replacement? Those are your issues. Thank you so 2518 02:23:57,320 --> 02:23:58,840 Speaker 8: much for calling from California. 2519 02:24:00,160 --> 02:24:02,360 Speaker 7: I just had one one thing to say.

Of course, you know, part of 2579 02:26:57,800 --> 02:27:01,840 Speaker 8: how we operate as doctors limited time or not.

We will all be there, 2634 02:30:44,879 --> 02:30:46,080 Speaker 8: but I'll be at Roots. 2635 02:30:46,720 --> 02:30:49,959 Speaker 1: From hey, ladies, let me ask you this though, ladies, 2636 02:30:50,320 --> 02:30:52,240 Speaker 1: for the folks who are not in Washington, DC, can 2637 02:30:52,280 --> 02:30:54,240 Speaker 1: you tell me about Roots? What is Roots? 2638 02:30:55,400 --> 02:30:55,560 Speaker 9: Oh? 2639 02:30:55,800 --> 02:31:01,280 Speaker 8: Thank you Carl. That's true. So Roots is a afrocentric 2640 02:31:01,560 --> 02:31:06,760 Speaker 8: learning institution for children. And this was founded by both 2641 02:31:06,840 --> 02:31:11,400 Speaker 8: of my parents in the year nineteen seventy seven. So literally, 2642 02:31:12,160 --> 02:31:16,359 Speaker 8: as Jesse Jackson, we just lost the Reverend. He transitioned 2643 02:31:16,400 --> 02:31:21,800 Speaker 8: to our ancestors. But Reverend Jackson was starting the Rainbow 2644 02:31:21,920 --> 02:31:25,640 Speaker 8: Coalition at the same time that Roots was being founded. 2645 02:31:26,320 --> 02:31:30,640 Speaker 8: So back in the powerful seventies, this school was the 2646 02:31:30,760 --> 02:31:34,840 Speaker 8: post civil rights answer to we don't want to just 2647 02:31:34,959 --> 02:31:39,160 Speaker 8: accept public education. And Bernita Thompson has written out an 2648 02:31:39,240 --> 02:31:46,560 Speaker 8: afrocentric textbook curriculum and devised stem and reading and arts 2649 02:31:46,800 --> 02:31:50,800 Speaker 8: and music therapy and just so many modalities. But most 2650 02:31:50,879 --> 02:31:55,959 Speaker 8: importantly it's what Jesse Jackson I am somebody, I'm Black, 2651 02:31:56,480 --> 02:31:59,600 Speaker 8: I madter, and who I am today is only a 2652 02:31:59,720 --> 02:32:03,120 Speaker 8: piece of who God created me to be. So she 2653 02:32:03,320 --> 02:32:06,400 Speaker 8: teaches that philosophy, you come out of Roots, you know 2654 02:32:06,920 --> 02:32:10,760 Speaker 8: I'm a strong African sister, I'm a strong African brother, 2655 02:32:11,280 --> 02:32:15,640 Speaker 8: and you can step forward into white America with confidence, 2656 02:32:15,959 --> 02:32:19,960 Speaker 8: with self esteem and not self mutilate. So Roots has 2657 02:32:20,040 --> 02:32:26,160 Speaker 8: now graduated almost fifty years of proud African people in 2658 02:32:26,280 --> 02:32:29,640 Speaker 8: this country. And then the second school was opened in 2659 02:32:29,800 --> 02:32:35,240 Speaker 8: nineteen ninety nine. The charter school made that education available 2660 02:32:35,600 --> 02:32:40,840 Speaker 8: to anybody and everybody. It availed the curriculum that she 2661 02:32:41,040 --> 02:32:46,560 Speaker 8: devised at a private school to everybody because in the DMV, 2662 02:32:46,920 --> 02:32:50,520 Speaker 8: as you know, Carl, charter schools are starting to slowly 2663 02:32:50,640 --> 02:32:55,560 Speaker 8: replace public schools. And unfortunately that was the MAGA plan 2664 02:32:55,879 --> 02:32:59,000 Speaker 8: out the gate. Okay, a part of Project twenty twenty 2665 02:32:59,080 --> 02:33:03,440 Speaker 8: five Dominate public education, get all black and brown people 2666 02:33:04,240 --> 02:33:07,520 Speaker 8: back in the prison system. And we got more black 2667 02:33:07,600 --> 02:33:09,960 Speaker 8: men in the prison system than we had on the 2668 02:33:10,120 --> 02:33:14,520 Speaker 8: fields during slavery. So it's working. We need more schools 2669 02:33:14,640 --> 02:33:15,560 Speaker 8: like Roots. 2670 02:33:16,959 --> 02:33:19,560 Speaker 1: And doctor Thomson Hack of folks.

You can't 2749 02:37:50,680 --> 02:37:54,680 Speaker 8: mention anything else about a human being without mentioning that 2750 02:37:54,800 --> 02:38:00,480 Speaker 8: they're diabetic. It becomes a defining characteristic How much so, 2751 02:38:01,080 --> 02:38:06,040 Speaker 8: my husband actually dropped into a coma from diabetes with 2752 02:38:06,200 --> 02:38:09,920 Speaker 8: a blood sugar over eight hundred, which really should not 2753 02:38:10,040 --> 02:38:14,000 Speaker 8: be humanly possible, and he never had been previously diagnosed. 2754 02:38:14,280 --> 02:38:18,920 Speaker 8: That is to say, as a community of afrocentric people, 2755 02:38:19,600 --> 02:38:22,800 Speaker 8: we all actually need to know our blood glucose level. 2756 02:38:23,240 --> 02:38:28,160 Speaker 8: Diabetes is that prevalent in our community. Everyone should quote 2757 02:38:28,320 --> 02:38:31,840 Speaker 8: know their numbers. In this heart health month of February, 2758 02:38:32,360 --> 02:38:36,160 Speaker 8: everyone should know what is my average blood pressure? What 2759 02:38:36,400 --> 02:38:39,160 Speaker 8: is my average blood sugar? When I wake up first 2760 02:38:39,200 --> 02:38:41,240 Speaker 8: thing in the morning and I've had nothing to eat 2761 02:38:41,320 --> 02:38:43,920 Speaker 8: or drink all night, what am I first thing in 2762 02:38:44,000 --> 02:38:46,640 Speaker 8: the morning, What am I two hours after I eat. 2763 02:38:48,480 --> 02:38:51,480 Speaker 8: Then you know if you are or are not diabetic, 2764 02:38:51,920 --> 02:38:54,439 Speaker 8: because some of us are and we're just not diagnosed 2765 02:38:54,680 --> 02:38:58,679 Speaker 8: because we haven't gone to the doctor. Swollen feet in diabetes, 2766 02:38:59,360 --> 02:39:04,240 Speaker 8: most are is from several things. Number One, poor circulation. 2767 02:39:04,879 --> 02:39:09,320 Speaker 8: See diabetes affects your blood. It affects how blood moves 2768 02:39:09,400 --> 02:39:12,440 Speaker 8: through your body. It affects your blood vessels. When you 2769 02:39:12,560 --> 02:39:16,680 Speaker 8: have diabetes, your blood vessels are all gunked up like 2770 02:39:16,800 --> 02:39:20,440 Speaker 8: dirty pipes. Okay, imagine water trying to move through your 2771 02:39:20,520 --> 02:39:23,200 Speaker 8: pipes and there's gunk all in the pipes and you 2772 02:39:23,320 --> 02:39:27,760 Speaker 8: need draino. That is the blood vessels of a diabetic. 2773 02:39:28,600 --> 02:39:32,720 Speaker 8: You have fluid build up. Your lymphatic system doesn't work. Okay, 2774 02:39:33,160 --> 02:39:38,760 Speaker 8: So to improved limphatic drainage, I would recommend anonymous begin 2775 02:39:38,959 --> 02:39:42,520 Speaker 8: to drink green tea. Get the fluid out of your body. 2776 02:39:42,840 --> 02:39:46,040 Speaker 8: It's building up below your knee all the way down 2777 02:39:46,080 --> 02:39:49,200 Speaker 8: to your toes. Okay, you have fluid build up. You 2778 02:39:49,320 --> 02:39:53,080 Speaker 8: have poor circulation, which you can't just one, two, three fix. 2779 02:39:54,560 --> 02:39:57,760 Speaker 8: You may have kidney issues, and you may have neuropathy, 2780 02:39:57,879 --> 02:40:01,320 Speaker 8: which is nerds damage. All of these things are caused 2781 02:40:01,360 --> 02:40:06,560 Speaker 8: by one thing. High blood sugar. So the puffiness, the tightness, 2782 02:40:06,720 --> 02:40:10,640 Speaker 8: the tenderness in your ankles and feet, that's what that's 2783 02:40:10,760 --> 02:40:17,360 Speaker 8: coming from. Poor circulation and high blood sugar causes weak 2784 02:40:17,560 --> 02:40:21,640 Speaker 8: blood vessels. So your doctor when you go tomorrow, I 2785 02:40:21,720 --> 02:40:24,840 Speaker 8: think you said, needs to be assessing do you have 2786 02:40:25,680 --> 02:40:30,080 Speaker 8: vascular disease, do you have neuropathy? Do you now have 2787 02:40:30,240 --> 02:40:36,959 Speaker 8: another condition other than the diabetes. The technical medical word 2788 02:40:37,080 --> 02:40:40,600 Speaker 8: for the puffy feet and ankles, you have peripheral edema. 2789 02:40:41,280 --> 02:40:43,600 Speaker 8: They also need to make sure that you don't have 2790 02:40:43,840 --> 02:40:48,760 Speaker 8: kidney damage, that you don't have congestive heart failure. So 2791 02:40:48,959 --> 02:40:54,000 Speaker 8: those are some of the explanations. You can elevate your feet, 2792 02:40:54,560 --> 02:40:58,560 Speaker 8: So elevating your feet, drinking green tea, and get to 2793 02:40:58,680 --> 02:41:00,520 Speaker 8: your doctor. That's my advice. 2794 02:41:02,160 --> 02:41:05,160 Speaker 1: All right, thank you anonymous. Let me answer this question 2795 02:41:05,360 --> 02:41:09,560 Speaker 1: about diabetes. Thank you anonymous. Question do you get diabetes 2796 02:41:09,600 --> 02:41:11,800 Speaker 1: from eating sweets? Sweet stuff? 2797 02:41:13,920 --> 02:41:14,200 Speaker 10: Carl? 2798 02:41:14,280 --> 02:41:17,000 Speaker 8: What a wonderful question, What a wonderful question. There are 2799 02:41:17,080 --> 02:41:22,320 Speaker 8: two fundamental types of diabetes, okay, Type one that's genetic. 2800 02:41:22,760 --> 02:41:27,039 Speaker 8: That's genetic, okay, so that's like drawing the bad straw. 2801 02:41:28,440 --> 02:41:32,080 Speaker 8: There's a juvenile diabetes that they didn't do anything to 2802 02:41:32,200 --> 02:41:35,240 Speaker 8: earn that diabetes. It is not their fault because they 2803 02:41:35,400 --> 02:41:39,240 Speaker 8: ate too much candy. Okay, So if you have juvenile 2804 02:41:39,360 --> 02:41:43,880 Speaker 8: diabetes or type one diabetes, the organ called you're pancreas 2805 02:41:44,440 --> 02:41:48,960 Speaker 8: doesn't make insulin, so you're screwed out the gate. You 2806 02:41:49,080 --> 02:41:54,080 Speaker 8: can die. So if a type one diabetic, unfortunately we 2807 02:41:54,200 --> 02:41:57,760 Speaker 8: have one at roots, if he doesn't get his insulin, 2808 02:41:58,400 --> 02:42:01,760 Speaker 8: it becomes a life threatening situation. Cua. His blood sugar 2809 02:42:01,840 --> 02:42:05,080 Speaker 8: can go too high or too low because his body 2810 02:42:05,240 --> 02:42:08,200 Speaker 8: doesn't make the insulin and it has to be given. 2811 02:42:09,240 --> 02:42:13,879 Speaker 8: There's another type of diabetes, Carl. That is the person's fault. Partially. 2812 02:42:15,120 --> 02:42:22,320 Speaker 8: Obesity comes from what over eating? Over eating, Yes, there 2813 02:42:22,360 --> 02:42:25,600 Speaker 8: can be a metabolic problem more often than not, it's 2814 02:42:25,680 --> 02:42:29,840 Speaker 8: not You can have a thyroid problem or other sluggish 2815 02:42:29,959 --> 02:42:34,039 Speaker 8: indocrine system that made you obese for no good reason. 2816 02:42:34,280 --> 02:42:38,320 Speaker 8: That's usually not the problem, especially in America. Okay, we're 2817 02:42:38,400 --> 02:42:42,279 Speaker 8: stressed out and so we self medicate with drugs, alcohol, 2818 02:42:42,400 --> 02:42:46,280 Speaker 8: and food. That's why we have an obesity crisis. We're 2819 02:42:46,360 --> 02:42:49,959 Speaker 8: self medicating instead of getting a therapist and getting well, 2820 02:42:50,520 --> 02:42:53,640 Speaker 8: we want to shove a hamburger, a hot dog, and 2821 02:42:53,800 --> 02:42:57,680 Speaker 8: mostly sweets. See I know from college, the more you're 2822 02:42:57,720 --> 02:43:02,880 Speaker 8: stressed out, you actually do crave carbohydrates also on your 2823 02:43:02,920 --> 02:43:08,400 Speaker 8: menstrual period, so it's hormonal and it's emotional, it's psychological, 2824 02:43:08,600 --> 02:43:13,440 Speaker 8: but we overeat. So once you're obese, your body literally 2825 02:43:13,600 --> 02:43:18,360 Speaker 8: cannot keep up. You have more body fat than your 2826 02:43:18,400 --> 02:43:23,680 Speaker 8: pancreas can possibly make an insulin. So type two diabetes, Carl, 2827 02:43:24,400 --> 02:43:28,320 Speaker 8: you are overweight, your body cannot keep up with you. 2828 02:43:28,879 --> 02:43:32,120 Speaker 8: It's cranking out insulin and you keep on cranking in 2829 02:43:32,240 --> 02:43:35,800 Speaker 8: the carbs. So you've overdone it and now you need 2830 02:43:35,920 --> 02:43:39,920 Speaker 8: medication for type two diabetes. So we have two fundamental types. 2831 02:43:40,160 --> 02:43:40,960 Speaker 8: Excellent question. 2832 02:43:42,760 --> 02:43:44,440 Speaker 1: All right, twenty eight After the top of that, some 2833 02:43:44,520 --> 02:43:46,760 Speaker 1: mother folks want to talk to you, Jason, DC Jays 2834 02:43:46,840 --> 02:43:48,640 Speaker 1: online two Grand Rising Jay. 2835 02:43:48,680 --> 02:43:53,600 Speaker 7: You're on with doctor A, Grand Rising Doctor A, and 2836 02:43:53,720 --> 02:43:58,240 Speaker 7: thank you for being here.

One is 2838 02:44:02,480 --> 02:44:06,440 Speaker 7: a cholesterol issue that I was advised to deal with 2839 02:44:07,040 --> 02:44:10,240 Speaker 7: and deal with her from a vegan perspective. And another 2840 02:44:10,320 --> 02:44:12,320 Speaker 7: big issue I want you to dress if you can, 2841 02:44:12,560 --> 02:44:19,279 Speaker 7: is I have an issue with mucus, constantly having mucus 2842 02:44:19,400 --> 02:44:23,279 Speaker 7: that I have to clear from from my body for background, 2843 02:44:23,440 --> 02:44:27,400 Speaker 7: I'm a older black mail and only may I take 2844 02:44:27,480 --> 02:44:31,199 Speaker 7: madas for a high blood pressure and a large cross state. 2845 02:44:31,959 --> 02:44:36,160 Speaker 7: And from the vegan perspective, when you're a dressed that 2846 02:44:36,240 --> 02:44:38,520 Speaker 7: can you can you say what's what's good and some 2847 02:44:38,760 --> 02:44:41,120 Speaker 7: things to stay away from because I know everything vegan 2848 02:44:41,280 --> 02:44:42,320 Speaker 7: is not really good for you. 2849 02:44:42,600 --> 02:44:42,959 Speaker 3: Thank you. 2850 02:44:47,080 --> 02:44:50,040 Speaker 8: Well, you know what color you are a proof that 2851 02:44:50,240 --> 02:44:53,560 Speaker 8: we are learning as a community right here in real time. 2852 02:44:54,240 --> 02:44:57,560 Speaker 8: Thank you for giving me the additional information so that 2853 02:44:57,680 --> 02:45:01,480 Speaker 8: I could feed you more intentional only and more specifically. 2854 02:45:02,800 --> 02:45:08,000 Speaker 8: The first thing really in terms of your cholesterol, we 2855 02:45:08,280 --> 02:45:11,760 Speaker 8: certainly I said earlier in the show, that we want 2856 02:45:11,959 --> 02:45:13,760 Speaker 8: to know our numbers. 2857 02:45:14,560 --> 02:45:14,640 Speaker 6: Uh. 2858 02:45:14,920 --> 02:45:19,760 Speaker 8: Cholesterol testing is something that once again on an average 2859 02:45:19,840 --> 02:45:23,920 Speaker 8: age of thirty. But if you have comorbidities okay, meaning 2860 02:45:24,040 --> 02:45:28,039 Speaker 8: you're a sick person, not a well person. You've got diseases, 2861 02:45:28,120 --> 02:45:32,000 Speaker 8: You've got illnesses, maybe earlier than thirty. If you have 2862 02:45:32,120 --> 02:45:36,720 Speaker 8: a high family history of heart disease, maybe earlier. You 2863 02:45:36,840 --> 02:45:41,640 Speaker 8: may have genetic factors. But in general adults, you should 2864 02:45:41,720 --> 02:45:46,439 Speaker 8: know your blood pressure, your blood sugar, your blood cholesterol 2865 02:45:46,800 --> 02:45:51,840 Speaker 8: is a panel. Your total cholesterol should be under two hundred. 2866 02:45:52,440 --> 02:45:57,840 Speaker 8: That's the total cholesterol. But then you've got subcomponents of 2867 02:45:57,959 --> 02:46:03,279 Speaker 8: that panel. There's an l DL. When you think of LDL, 2868 02:46:04,160 --> 02:46:09,520 Speaker 8: think of low low low. So you want this less 2869 02:46:09,680 --> 02:46:13,920 Speaker 8: than one hundred. You don't want to high LDL. You 2870 02:46:14,080 --> 02:46:21,280 Speaker 8: have an HDL, HGL high high high, So the higher 2871 02:46:21,640 --> 02:46:26,880 Speaker 8: the better. Starting at the number sixty and going up 2872 02:46:27,040 --> 02:46:31,680 Speaker 8: from there, you also have triglycerides, then that should be 2873 02:46:32,120 --> 02:46:36,600 Speaker 8: under one hundred and fifty. So again total cholesterol less 2874 02:46:36,600 --> 02:46:43,160 Speaker 8: than two hundred, LDL, less than one hundred HGL. We 2875 02:46:43,280 --> 02:46:48,480 Speaker 8: want to go high sixty and above triglycerides one fifty. 2876 02:46:49,879 --> 02:46:54,760 Speaker 8: So in general, if you're saying that, and again instruct me, brother, 2877 02:46:54,879 --> 02:46:59,040 Speaker 8: so that I'm being intentional with your health. You weren't 2878 02:46:59,080 --> 02:47:07,800 Speaker 8: always told that you have a high cholesterol hung oh okay, okay, okay, okay. Well, 2879 02:47:09,280 --> 02:47:13,320 Speaker 8: to control our cholesterol, what are the things that are 2880 02:47:13,440 --> 02:47:15,920 Speaker 8: going to be good? What are the things that are 2881 02:47:15,959 --> 02:47:21,280 Speaker 8: going to get those numbers into the categories that I 2882 02:47:21,520 --> 02:47:26,160 Speaker 8: just described for you? It's really basic. The whole foods 2883 02:47:26,280 --> 02:47:30,400 Speaker 8: that I was already talking to previous callers about, it's 2884 02:47:30,480 --> 02:47:35,000 Speaker 8: that exact same instruction. You want half your plate to 2885 02:47:35,160 --> 02:47:39,720 Speaker 8: be fruit and vegetable, and then a quarter of your 2886 02:47:39,800 --> 02:47:44,560 Speaker 8: plate is protein, so that right there, you're not having 2887 02:47:44,640 --> 02:47:49,840 Speaker 8: a carb dominated nutrition. In general, we want more fiber. Right, 2888 02:47:50,360 --> 02:47:53,920 Speaker 8: fruit is fiber. We want more fiber in our diet. 2889 02:47:54,080 --> 02:47:57,760 Speaker 8: Most of us do not take in adequate amounts of 2890 02:47:57,840 --> 02:48:01,200 Speaker 8: fiber on a daily basis. Any of us eat when 2891 02:48:01,240 --> 02:48:04,800 Speaker 8: we need to be drinking. We're thirsty and we're thinking 2892 02:48:05,520 --> 02:48:10,000 Speaker 8: it's a hunger reflects. So number one, we need to 2893 02:48:10,200 --> 02:48:13,760 Speaker 8: just revamp how we eat. We need to start waking 2894 02:48:13,959 --> 02:48:18,480 Speaker 8: up and jump starting our metabolism. Don't wake up like 2895 02:48:18,680 --> 02:48:22,160 Speaker 8: my wonderful friend. I won't out her on the show, 2896 02:48:22,959 --> 02:48:27,200 Speaker 8: but she's a chain smoker. That's problem number one. Problem 2897 02:48:27,320 --> 02:48:31,160 Speaker 8: number two, she's proud to not eat until seven at night. 2898 02:48:31,920 --> 02:48:35,840 Speaker 8: You train wreck your metabolism by doing that. Wake up. 2899 02:48:36,080 --> 02:48:38,920 Speaker 8: You want your brain to be awake, so eat. It 2900 02:48:39,120 --> 02:48:43,279 Speaker 8: is now unethical to send a child to school without breakfast. 2901 02:48:43,640 --> 02:48:45,200 Speaker 8: That's why we have free breakfasts. 2902 02:48:45,760 --> 02:48:46,680 Speaker 13: You know what that means. 2903 02:48:47,600 --> 02:48:52,680 Speaker 8: It's been proven that the child cannot scholastically achieve with 2904 02:48:52,879 --> 02:48:56,360 Speaker 8: no food, So why is not also true for an adult? 2905 02:48:56,760 --> 02:48:59,640 Speaker 8: It is so you want to show up to work 2906 02:49:00,080 --> 02:49:06,440 Speaker 8: incapable of thinking no cognitive capacity whatsoever. That's not fair, 2907 02:49:06,760 --> 02:49:08,520 Speaker 8: and then you're gonna get paid to do what you do. 2908 02:49:09,400 --> 02:49:14,280 Speaker 8: Wake up and eat, eat in an inverted pyramid, so 2909 02:49:14,440 --> 02:49:17,040 Speaker 8: by the time the sun sets, you really are not 2910 02:49:17,120 --> 02:49:19,920 Speaker 8: supposed to be eating. I know it's Ramadan, I know 2911 02:49:20,000 --> 02:49:25,240 Speaker 8: it's asked Wednesday, I'm going to get my ashes. And unfortunately, 2912 02:49:26,400 --> 02:49:30,200 Speaker 8: the majority of human history we didn't have electricity. So 2913 02:49:30,440 --> 02:49:34,920 Speaker 8: fasting teaches us what fast all day and then eat 2914 02:49:34,959 --> 02:49:40,160 Speaker 8: at night. Well, metabolically, that's the inverse of logic. You 2915 02:49:40,360 --> 02:49:43,640 Speaker 8: don't want to fast all day and yummy yum, like 2916 02:49:43,720 --> 02:49:47,320 Speaker 8: the cookie monster all night long. Uh huh. To the opposite, 2917 02:49:47,920 --> 02:49:52,640 Speaker 8: you wake up, we have light, we have refrigeration. It 2918 02:49:52,800 --> 02:49:56,280 Speaker 8: is not the sixteen hundreds. We can move fasting into 2919 02:49:56,360 --> 02:49:59,320 Speaker 8: the twenty first century and do what makes sense and 2920 02:49:59,400 --> 02:50:02,240 Speaker 8: what's gonna help help your heart and your cholesterol. 2921 02:50:04,240 --> 02:50:06,400 Speaker 1: All right, twenty six away from the top, I've still 2922 02:50:06,400 --> 02:50:07,640 Speaker 1: got a bunch of folks want to talk to you, 2923 02:50:07,760 --> 02:50:11,240 Speaker 1: doctor a'co the line three Silver Spring, Maryland, the Cashiba's 2924 02:50:11,240 --> 02:50:12,880 Speaker 1: there's just the cab. I'm with, doctor A. 2925 02:50:15,160 --> 02:50:20,400 Speaker 18: Thank you, Carl, great show as usual, Doctor A. You've 2926 02:50:20,480 --> 02:50:25,240 Speaker 18: already answered some of my questions here because I'm trying 2927 02:50:25,320 --> 02:50:33,039 Speaker 18: to decrease my LDL cholesterol. Total cholesterol is not good 2928 02:50:33,120 --> 02:50:37,400 Speaker 18: because of that LDL, but my ADL is is very good. 2929 02:50:37,440 --> 02:50:41,160 Speaker 18: It's very high. So I am going to, you know, 2930 02:50:41,280 --> 02:50:46,520 Speaker 18: do some changes in the diet regarding that LDL. But 2931 02:50:46,680 --> 02:50:48,800 Speaker 18: my other question had to do with my friend who 2932 02:50:48,879 --> 02:50:55,200 Speaker 18: can't call in. She's received a diagnose, says of I 2933 02:50:55,280 --> 02:51:01,200 Speaker 18: guess it's stage two or class stage three or class 2934 02:51:01,280 --> 02:51:06,160 Speaker 18: three kidney disease. And what are her options other than 2935 02:51:06,959 --> 02:51:10,359 Speaker 18: the doctor has given her an option of having dialysis, 2936 02:51:10,800 --> 02:51:14,680 Speaker 18: but she doesn't want dialysis. Can can this? There's something 2937 02:51:14,800 --> 02:51:22,520 Speaker 18: she can do other than just submitting to that to diolysis. Uh, 2938 02:51:22,959 --> 02:51:25,039 Speaker 18: when you're when you have kidney disease? 2939 02:51:25,200 --> 02:51:30,840 Speaker 8: Is that that high or that great? So, first of all, 2940 02:51:31,000 --> 02:51:32,440 Speaker 8: I want to thank you for calling. 2941 02:51:33,640 --> 02:51:34,760 Speaker 13: This is a common theme. 2942 02:51:34,840 --> 02:51:38,880 Speaker 8: It's not even Women's History Month, but the irony of 2943 02:51:39,080 --> 02:51:42,720 Speaker 8: this morning's show on Tony Morrison's birthday, we have a 2944 02:51:42,920 --> 02:51:46,360 Speaker 8: number of women who are just loving one other women 2945 02:51:46,680 --> 02:51:50,960 Speaker 8: and I appreciate that. I appreciate that you're calling for 2946 02:51:51,080 --> 02:51:55,840 Speaker 8: somebody you love, just like earlier in the show, someone 2947 02:51:55,959 --> 02:51:59,200 Speaker 8: called for her sister and even earlier in the show, 2948 02:51:59,320 --> 02:52:03,760 Speaker 8: someone called for somebody she loves does not even being 2949 02:52:03,840 --> 02:52:07,520 Speaker 8: transparent with her, but she still wants to get help 2950 02:52:07,600 --> 02:52:11,600 Speaker 8: for that person. So again, this is a beautiful your 2951 02:52:11,720 --> 02:52:18,720 Speaker 8: intentionality is so beautiful. Stage three of chronic kidney disease, 2952 02:52:19,600 --> 02:52:24,279 Speaker 8: that is a moderate stage. So when we talk about 2953 02:52:24,440 --> 02:52:30,560 Speaker 8: science and medicine, we're looking at GFR for the listenership. 2954 02:52:31,760 --> 02:52:37,720 Speaker 8: So the GFR, which is race dependent, should basically be 2955 02:52:38,440 --> 02:52:42,240 Speaker 8: you know, at a certain level, and when a person's 2956 02:52:42,520 --> 02:52:49,120 Speaker 8: glamegular filtration rate or GFR begins to deteriorate, that means 2957 02:52:49,200 --> 02:52:53,160 Speaker 8: their kidney is not clearing poison out of their body. 2958 02:52:54,280 --> 02:52:55,920 Speaker 1: Doc hold I thought right there, we got to step 2959 02:52:55,959 --> 02:52:57,720 Speaker 1: aside for our last break. I'll let you finish your 2960 02:52:57,720 --> 02:53:00,840 Speaker 1: responding to sister Kashiba is a question on the other side, family, 2961 02:53:00,920 --> 02:53:03,400 Speaker 1: you two can get help from doctor A. Reach out 2962 02:53:03,440 --> 02:53:06,280 Speaker 1: to us at eight hundred four five zero seventy eight 2963 02:53:06,480 --> 02:53:08,600 Speaker 1: seventy six and we'll take your phone calls next and 2964 02:53:08,760 --> 02:53:10,720 Speaker 1: Grand Rising family, thanks to staying with us on this 2965 02:53:10,920 --> 02:53:14,040 Speaker 1: Wednesday morning here with the doctor Am. However, we got 2966 02:53:14,080 --> 02:53:17,480 Speaker 1: off our condolences to Reverend graylen Hager's family and also 2967 02:53:17,560 --> 02:53:21,800 Speaker 1: the family Plymouth at church he made his transition on Tuesday, 2968 02:53:21,920 --> 02:53:23,960 Speaker 1: and his church, by the way, it was first the 2969 02:53:24,280 --> 02:53:28,040 Speaker 1: church that we held our power Talk conferences back in 2970 02:53:28,080 --> 02:53:30,920 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. He was great for us. And the group 2971 02:53:30,959 --> 02:53:36,160 Speaker 1: that was there was doctor Claude Anderson, Dick Gregory, Tony Browner, 2972 02:53:36,240 --> 02:53:39,199 Speaker 1: doctor Franciscus Wilson, Dr war Johnson and some more folks 2973 02:53:39,240 --> 02:53:41,640 Speaker 1: were there. That's where it all started Plymouth. So again 2974 02:53:41,680 --> 02:53:45,959 Speaker 1: our condulcens through doctor Reverend doctor Grayla's family and also 2975 02:53:46,080 --> 02:53:49,320 Speaker 1: to the family at Plymouth as well. Eight hundred four 2976 02:53:49,400 --> 02:53:51,280 Speaker 1: or five zero seventy eight seven six to speak to 2977 02:53:51,360 --> 02:53:53,200 Speaker 1: doctor eight doctor Ill. Let you finish your response to 2978 02:53:53,280 --> 02:53:54,520 Speaker 1: Sister the Kashiba's questions. 2979 02:53:55,400 --> 02:54:01,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, so I was describing to our listenership glomial filtration 2980 02:54:01,440 --> 02:54:06,480 Speaker 8: rate or gf ERA. That is what doctors are measuring 2981 02:54:06,840 --> 02:54:09,760 Speaker 8: when they take your urine samples, be it a one 2982 02:54:09,840 --> 02:54:14,199 Speaker 8: time sample or a twenty four hour collection. Your GFR 2983 02:54:14,840 --> 02:54:19,280 Speaker 8: is what is measuring your kidney function. So stage three 2984 02:54:19,520 --> 02:54:24,840 Speaker 8: of chronic kidney disease, the GFR is between thirty and 2985 02:54:25,000 --> 02:54:30,039 Speaker 8: fifty nine. That means waste products like urea are building 2986 02:54:30,160 --> 02:54:34,160 Speaker 8: up in the blood and cannot be cleared. Stage three 2987 02:54:34,360 --> 02:54:38,040 Speaker 8: is divided into three A, which is a forty five 2988 02:54:38,160 --> 02:54:42,720 Speaker 8: to fifty nine percent functioning kidney, or three B, where 2989 02:54:42,760 --> 02:54:46,640 Speaker 8: you're forty four percent down to thirty percent functioning kidney. 2990 02:54:47,959 --> 02:54:52,840 Speaker 8: So while the damage is generally irreversible, what you would 2991 02:54:52,920 --> 02:54:56,200 Speaker 8: want to be thinking about is slowing the progression of 2992 02:54:56,320 --> 02:54:59,600 Speaker 8: the underlying cause. I'm not sure if your friend is 2993 02:54:59,680 --> 02:55:04,200 Speaker 8: die of or affected by high blood pressure. High blood 2994 02:55:04,200 --> 02:55:09,160 Speaker 8: pressure and diabetes CARL are the two causes for chronic 2995 02:55:09,320 --> 02:55:14,080 Speaker 8: kidney disease. So when we go into kidney failure and 2996 02:55:14,240 --> 02:55:17,480 Speaker 8: we need a kidney or we need dialysis, we have 2997 02:55:17,680 --> 02:55:22,680 Speaker 8: failed to prevent either the one set of diabetes or 2998 02:55:22,760 --> 02:55:25,320 Speaker 8: the one set of high blood pressure, or we have 2999 02:55:25,440 --> 02:55:27,039 Speaker 8: failed to manage one. 3000 02:55:27,040 --> 02:55:27,879 Speaker 18: The other or both. 3001 02:55:28,959 --> 02:55:33,680 Speaker 8: So the woman's symptoms are really going to determine what 3002 02:55:33,920 --> 02:55:39,080 Speaker 8: she needs. So many individuals first start to notice that 3003 02:55:39,200 --> 02:55:42,720 Speaker 8: they're sick when they are already at stage three. They 3004 02:55:43,000 --> 02:55:46,320 Speaker 8: don't have symptoms at stage one and two. That's why 3005 02:55:46,520 --> 02:55:50,320 Speaker 8: going to the doctor and getting preventive health care. Knowing 3006 02:55:50,440 --> 02:55:55,240 Speaker 8: your numbers of giving blood samples, giving urine samples when 3007 02:55:55,280 --> 02:55:58,400 Speaker 8: you think you're healthy is important because if you have 3008 02:55:58,520 --> 02:56:01,640 Speaker 8: stage one and two you're not going to know. So 3009 02:56:01,840 --> 02:56:06,599 Speaker 8: stage three you finally feel like crap. You are fatigued, 3010 02:56:07,040 --> 02:56:10,480 Speaker 8: you're weak, You're retaining fluid in your hands and feet 3011 02:56:10,560 --> 02:56:15,360 Speaker 8: and ankles. There's a change in your urination. Your urine 3012 02:56:15,440 --> 02:56:18,920 Speaker 8: may be foamy or dark colored. You may start to 3013 02:56:19,000 --> 02:56:24,640 Speaker 8: have dryer, itchy skin, muscle cramps, trouble concentrating. You're not well. 3014 02:56:25,360 --> 02:56:29,200 Speaker 8: So I'm not sure what this lady your friend's symptoms are, 3015 02:56:30,280 --> 02:56:33,200 Speaker 8: but we don't want her lifestyle going down the tubes 3016 02:56:33,520 --> 02:56:37,920 Speaker 8: while we're trying to prevent her from dialysis. Dialysis clears 3017 02:56:38,440 --> 02:56:41,600 Speaker 8: toxic material out of your blood, so if she can 3018 02:56:41,680 --> 02:56:45,600 Speaker 8: do that naturally, wonderful. If she cannot, then she needs help. 3019 02:56:46,160 --> 02:56:50,760 Speaker 8: The chronic kidney disease we can slow by slowing the 3020 02:56:50,840 --> 02:56:53,840 Speaker 8: progression of the high blood pressure or the diabetes. So 3021 02:56:54,080 --> 02:56:56,720 Speaker 8: we really need to know what her underlying causes are. 3022 02:56:57,240 --> 02:57:01,119 Speaker 8: If she's anemic, then she can take on. If she's 3023 02:57:01,160 --> 02:57:05,800 Speaker 8: got mineral imbalances or bone disease that can be treated, 3024 02:57:06,240 --> 02:57:10,640 Speaker 8: cardiovascular issues, whether it's blood pressure or fluid build up, 3025 02:57:11,080 --> 02:57:14,920 Speaker 8: that needs to be individually treated. In terms of her diet, 3026 02:57:15,520 --> 02:57:19,680 Speaker 8: low salt, low protein, that's the recommendation, so you don't 3027 02:57:19,760 --> 02:57:24,200 Speaker 8: overwork her kidneys, her medications. It really depends. Is this 3028 02:57:24,320 --> 02:57:27,640 Speaker 8: a blood pressure issue, is it a cholesterol issue. Is 3029 02:57:27,680 --> 02:57:31,000 Speaker 8: it a diabetic issue. If she's a smoker, she must 3030 02:57:31,120 --> 02:57:35,160 Speaker 8: quit smoking. If she does not exercise, she should start 3031 02:57:35,280 --> 02:57:38,000 Speaker 8: if she can tolerate it. So that's my advice. 3032 02:57:38,840 --> 02:57:39,640 Speaker 5: Well, what she does. 3033 02:57:39,879 --> 02:57:42,680 Speaker 18: She had a lot of chemotherapy because she had cancer, 3034 02:57:43,280 --> 02:57:46,720 Speaker 18: and she thinks that it was after all that chemotherapy 3035 02:57:46,800 --> 02:57:48,720 Speaker 18: that's why she developed this disease. 3036 02:57:52,400 --> 02:57:54,640 Speaker 8: That may be the case. That's what I mean, that's 3037 02:57:54,720 --> 02:57:57,600 Speaker 8: that's that's new information. I did not know she's a 3038 02:57:57,720 --> 02:58:02,080 Speaker 8: cancer survivor when I started to address stage three kidney disease. 3039 02:58:02,200 --> 02:58:04,480 Speaker 8: So everything, everything affects everything. 3040 02:58:05,080 --> 02:58:05,400 Speaker 5: You know that. 3041 02:58:05,640 --> 02:58:08,800 Speaker 8: That's why physicians take a history, or have the nurse 3042 02:58:08,879 --> 02:58:12,280 Speaker 8: or medical medical assistant take a history. We all just 3043 02:58:12,360 --> 02:58:14,960 Speaker 8: walk in the room and start talking off the cuff 3044 02:58:15,400 --> 02:58:21,440 Speaker 8: based on the symptom. Yes, the cancer, absolutely, the chemotherapy, radiation, therapy, 3045 02:58:21,520 --> 02:58:26,000 Speaker 8: whatever she had absolutely can have a consequence of affecting 3046 02:58:26,080 --> 02:58:30,320 Speaker 8: her GFR. And now she has kidney disease. That is true. 3047 02:58:31,120 --> 02:58:34,720 Speaker 8: If she can exercise, she needs to do such. If 3048 02:58:34,800 --> 02:58:37,400 Speaker 8: she can manage her nutrition. She needs to do such. 3049 02:58:40,080 --> 02:58:42,640 Speaker 18: Okay, well, thank you, I'm going to pass. I wrote 3050 02:58:42,680 --> 02:58:44,760 Speaker 18: down your answer, so I'm going to pass all this 3051 02:58:44,840 --> 02:58:46,840 Speaker 18: information on to her. Thank you very much. 3052 02:58:47,840 --> 02:58:48,640 Speaker 8: Have a blessed day. 3053 02:58:49,200 --> 02:58:51,600 Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Sista Kashiba. Twelve away from the top, 3054 02:58:51,680 --> 02:58:54,440 Speaker 1: there are Terry's joining us. Tarry's called from Connecticut.

You're only doctor arasy Mike. 3056 02:59:00,120 --> 02:59:04,800 Speaker 19: Question is about high blood pressure. It seems that I 3057 02:59:04,920 --> 02:59:08,200 Speaker 19: can't get my blood pressure down to where it's supposed 3058 02:59:08,240 --> 02:59:08,400 Speaker 19: to be. 3059 02:59:08,640 --> 02:59:08,800 Speaker 8: Now. 3060 02:59:09,520 --> 02:59:12,160 Speaker 19: I have eliminated things for my diet just to see 3061 02:59:12,200 --> 02:59:14,760 Speaker 19: if that was the cause of it. I have fast 3062 02:59:14,840 --> 02:59:17,400 Speaker 19: to see if that was the cause of it, and 3063 02:59:18,200 --> 02:59:20,600 Speaker 19: just seems like I just can't get those numbers down 3064 02:59:20,879 --> 02:59:21,880 Speaker 19: where they really should be. 3065 02:59:22,080 --> 02:59:22,200 Speaker 12: Now. 3066 02:59:22,320 --> 02:59:24,560 Speaker 19: Doctor told me that maybe I need an alignment. I 3067 02:59:24,640 --> 02:59:27,640 Speaker 19: need to see a chiropractor. So why say you doctor? 3068 02:59:27,680 --> 02:59:29,080 Speaker 19: A good morning to you by the way. 3069 02:59:30,200 --> 02:59:33,280 Speaker 8: Good morning, and thank you so much for calling about 3070 02:59:33,400 --> 02:59:38,560 Speaker 8: something that I think is extraordinarily common. Extraordinarily common. We 3071 02:59:38,760 --> 02:59:43,280 Speaker 8: inhabit this body, and earlier call provoked me to talk 3072 02:59:43,320 --> 02:59:48,160 Speaker 8: about faith and spirituality and belief. We inhabit this body 3073 02:59:48,879 --> 02:59:53,080 Speaker 8: and we come out of the womb with this inhabited body, 3074 02:59:53,720 --> 02:59:57,240 Speaker 8: and we're learning new things about it every five to 3075 02:59:57,360 --> 03:00:01,680 Speaker 8: seven years, if not daily, So you don't have the 3076 03:00:01,800 --> 03:00:04,360 Speaker 8: high blood pressure, and then suddenly you wake up one 3077 03:00:04,440 --> 03:00:08,800 Speaker 8: morning and you're being told by healthcare professionals that you 3078 03:00:08,920 --> 03:00:13,160 Speaker 8: have a blood pressure problem. You know, the first thing 3079 03:00:13,240 --> 03:00:17,520 Speaker 8: to grapple with for all the listenership. You know, we 3080 03:00:17,760 --> 03:00:20,880 Speaker 8: understand going through puberty. You used to not have a 3081 03:00:20,959 --> 03:00:25,400 Speaker 8: mental period, Now you do. Voila. You used to not 3082 03:00:26,520 --> 03:00:29,360 Speaker 8: have pimples on your face, now you do. You used 3083 03:00:29,360 --> 03:00:31,560 Speaker 8: to not have to shower. You used to not have 3084 03:00:31,640 --> 03:00:34,440 Speaker 8: a body odor. You used to not have to wear deodorant. 3085 03:00:35,160 --> 03:00:40,200 Speaker 8: We are accustomed in our society to acclimating to the 3086 03:00:40,400 --> 03:00:45,680 Speaker 8: human body changes from young child to pubertal child, young adult. 3087 03:00:46,160 --> 03:00:50,879 Speaker 8: We are not acclimated to the later in life changes. Okay, 3088 03:00:51,400 --> 03:00:55,520 Speaker 8: because something worked in your twenties, it doesn't mean it's 3089 03:00:55,560 --> 03:00:58,279 Speaker 8: going to work in your thirties or forties or fifties. 3090 03:00:59,000 --> 03:01:03,080 Speaker 8: It sounds like you have a hereditary propensity to high 3091 03:01:03,120 --> 03:01:07,160 Speaker 8: blood pressure. That's what say I. That's what it sounds like. 3092 03:01:07,760 --> 03:01:10,200 Speaker 8: I didn't do anything to cause it, Doc, It ain't 3093 03:01:10,280 --> 03:01:13,440 Speaker 8: my fault. That's right, but suck it up because you 3094 03:01:13,600 --> 03:01:16,240 Speaker 8: inherit it from a mommy and a daddy. And they 3095 03:01:16,360 --> 03:01:19,400 Speaker 8: weren't flawless much as we want to think they were 3096 03:01:19,520 --> 03:01:23,599 Speaker 8: and put them on a pedestal. No, they both had conditions. 3097 03:01:24,160 --> 03:01:28,440 Speaker 8: The human body is by definition flawed. We will return 3098 03:01:28,520 --> 03:01:31,080 Speaker 8: to ashes and dust. That's part of what the dust 3099 03:01:31,160 --> 03:01:33,960 Speaker 8: on the forehead on Ash Wednesday is about. You're just 3100 03:01:34,040 --> 03:01:37,920 Speaker 8: flesh and blood. Don't get it twisted. The spectacular part 3101 03:01:37,959 --> 03:01:41,840 Speaker 8: about you is the spiritual, not the flesh. So BRH. 3102 03:01:42,720 --> 03:01:46,920 Speaker 8: I understand accept in reality as we change through the decades, 3103 03:01:47,000 --> 03:01:50,760 Speaker 8: it is difficult. The alternative is death. So I would say, 3104 03:01:50,840 --> 03:01:54,240 Speaker 8: wake up, smell the coffee, and start the blood pressure treatment. 3105 03:01:54,640 --> 03:01:56,800 Speaker 8: Whether you think it's fair or not, you've got it. 3106 03:01:57,160 --> 03:02:00,720 Speaker 8: It's repeating itself. Get a home blood pressure cuff. But 3107 03:02:00,879 --> 03:02:05,560 Speaker 8: if you consistently are above the mark, don't play around 3108 03:02:05,640 --> 03:02:09,720 Speaker 8: and develop heart disease. Manage your blood pressure now. If 3109 03:02:09,760 --> 03:02:14,280 Speaker 8: you can do it with black seed oil, you can 3110 03:02:14,360 --> 03:02:17,520 Speaker 8: do it with weight loss, with quit smoking. You can 3111 03:02:17,600 --> 03:02:20,800 Speaker 8: become an athlete. You can you can join orange therapy 3112 03:02:21,200 --> 03:02:23,800 Speaker 8: and avoid the medicaid. It's been great, But what is 3113 03:02:23,879 --> 03:02:26,840 Speaker 8: sounding like to me. You've tried everything known to man. 3114 03:02:27,360 --> 03:02:31,560 Speaker 8: It's not working. You need to start medication so that 3115 03:02:31,680 --> 03:02:32,840 Speaker 8: you don't get heart disease. 3116 03:02:34,040 --> 03:02:36,920 Speaker 19: Well, I am on medication. He wanted to pump that 3117 03:02:37,760 --> 03:02:40,320 Speaker 19: or started up to one hundred milligrams. I've told them, 3118 03:02:40,360 --> 03:02:42,080 Speaker 19: no way, You're not gonna blow my kidneys up. 3119 03:02:43,280 --> 03:02:47,160 Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, okay, So I don't blame you. So here's 3120 03:02:47,200 --> 03:02:50,280 Speaker 8: the point. I'm proud of you. You're a man and 3121 03:02:50,440 --> 03:02:57,040 Speaker 8: you are being proactive. That's unusual, spectacular. So what about fitness. 3122 03:02:57,120 --> 03:02:59,120 Speaker 8: Where are you at with fitness? Can you do better? 3123 03:03:00,200 --> 03:03:03,440 Speaker 19: Oh? Well, I normally get my exercise by running the stairs, 3124 03:03:04,280 --> 03:03:06,800 Speaker 19: and I can run the stairs very well. Three floors, 3125 03:03:08,000 --> 03:03:10,000 Speaker 19: just up and down the stairs and down the hall, 3126 03:03:10,360 --> 03:03:12,640 Speaker 19: back and forth. That's basically what I do for exercise. 3127 03:03:12,840 --> 03:03:16,760 Speaker 8: That is a beautiful start. You're not an elevator man, 3128 03:03:16,920 --> 03:03:20,320 Speaker 8: and you're not sedentary. I'm super proud of you. One 3129 03:03:20,600 --> 03:03:24,920 Speaker 8: hundred and fifty minutes of cardiovascular activity a week. That 3130 03:03:25,160 --> 03:03:28,120 Speaker 8: is the mark you need to hit. So I don't 3131 03:03:28,160 --> 03:03:30,959 Speaker 8: know if you wear a fit bit or how you're tracking, 3132 03:03:31,360 --> 03:03:34,840 Speaker 8: how you run the stairs three flights. The point is, 3133 03:03:35,000 --> 03:03:39,160 Speaker 8: do in a week one hundred and fifty minutes cardiovascular 3134 03:03:39,600 --> 03:03:42,680 Speaker 8: and let's see if over three to six months does 3135 03:03:42,760 --> 03:03:44,279 Speaker 8: this improve your blood pressure? 3136 03:03:45,959 --> 03:03:50,199 Speaker 19: Okay, I can add to it to my workhouse measurement 3137 03:03:50,320 --> 03:03:53,640 Speaker 19: there and see what happens from there. And I've be 3138 03:03:53,760 --> 03:03:58,960 Speaker 19: taking stuff like beat root powder, dandelion roofed and by 3139 03:03:59,000 --> 03:04:01,720 Speaker 19: the way, michelesterol a perfect levels are perfect. 3140 03:04:02,360 --> 03:04:04,879 Speaker 8: Well, see this is this is kind of what I assumed. Again, 3141 03:04:04,959 --> 03:04:07,120 Speaker 8: I haven't met you, and I haven't done the thirty 3142 03:04:07,200 --> 03:04:12,560 Speaker 8: minute of inventory on paper, but just my intuition spending 3143 03:04:12,959 --> 03:04:16,080 Speaker 8: a quarter of a century doing this and loving what 3144 03:04:16,280 --> 03:04:20,280 Speaker 8: I do, I already kind of took your proactive you 3145 03:04:20,400 --> 03:04:24,640 Speaker 8: go the extra mile. You've done everything imaginable. That is 3146 03:04:24,760 --> 03:04:28,960 Speaker 8: why my empiric answer to you was assume it to 3147 03:04:29,040 --> 03:04:32,360 Speaker 8: be genetic, and don't be in denial. You know, we 3148 03:04:32,440 --> 03:04:35,720 Speaker 8: want to be proactive, but we also want to be enlightened. 3149 03:04:35,959 --> 03:04:38,680 Speaker 8: We want to be self aware, and most of us 3150 03:04:38,760 --> 03:04:42,279 Speaker 8: don't know every lick of our family history. Okay, Brenita 3151 03:04:42,360 --> 03:04:47,320 Speaker 8: Thompson traced my family history to eighteen fifty six, but 3152 03:04:47,560 --> 03:04:49,320 Speaker 8: I don't know if we can all do that. So 3153 03:04:49,520 --> 03:04:53,400 Speaker 8: even if you think you know your family history, one monkey, 3154 03:04:53,600 --> 03:04:57,440 Speaker 8: one monkey, can spoil the show. Okay, one person with 3155 03:04:57,600 --> 03:05:01,360 Speaker 8: the heart disease in your genealogy could be the reason 3156 03:05:01,760 --> 03:05:05,119 Speaker 8: you cannot wrestle your way out of high blood pressure. 3157 03:05:05,720 --> 03:05:09,600 Speaker 8: I assume that you have a perfect cholesterol. I'm assuming 3158 03:05:09,680 --> 03:05:12,840 Speaker 8: that you're you're doing the most. That's why I'm answering 3159 03:05:12,920 --> 03:05:15,000 Speaker 8: the question accordingly.

The dilemma that 3179 03:06:09,560 --> 03:06:12,760 Speaker 8: you face when I come on air is the dilemma 3180 03:06:12,800 --> 03:06:16,560 Speaker 8: I face every single day in office hours. How can 3181 03:06:16,640 --> 03:06:20,480 Speaker 8: you finish in a timely fashion? It doesn't happen because this, 3182 03:06:20,800 --> 03:06:23,400 Speaker 8: this is the problem. When a doctor cares we're gonna 3183 03:06:23,400 --> 03:06:26,160 Speaker 8: be running late, it's gonna be three to four hour 3184 03:06:26,280 --> 03:06:31,440 Speaker 8: wait because the patient or the listener comes in partially loaded. 3185 03:06:31,760 --> 03:06:34,800 Speaker 8: So to ascertain what we need, it's gonna take forever. 3186 03:06:35,280 --> 03:06:39,000 Speaker 8: Amiloid doses is a rare disease that's caused by an 3187 03:06:39,080 --> 03:06:43,840 Speaker 8: abnormal protein buildup of amyloid in your organs and tissues. 3188 03:06:44,120 --> 03:06:47,560 Speaker 8: This is a rare disease. Then you stiffen and you 3189 03:06:47,760 --> 03:06:52,600 Speaker 8: and you begin to fail. So the rarity of this condition, firstly, 3190 03:06:53,600 --> 03:06:57,560 Speaker 8: caller the likelihood that this is going to affect more people. 3191 03:06:57,720 --> 03:07:01,200 Speaker 8: It's not, it's not. This is not something that is genetic. 3192 03:07:01,720 --> 03:07:05,800 Speaker 8: I'm not sure how your family member contracted this or 3193 03:07:05,920 --> 03:07:10,840 Speaker 8: developed this. The common symptoms are severe fatigue, they're swelling 3194 03:07:10,920 --> 03:07:14,320 Speaker 8: in the legs, the stomach, shortness of breath, your numb 3195 03:07:15,640 --> 03:07:23,199 Speaker 8: is primarily caused by bone marrow disorders, chronic inflammatory diseases, 3196 03:07:24,160 --> 03:07:28,200 Speaker 8: or some genetic factor that may have happened. But again, 3197 03:07:29,480 --> 03:07:33,040 Speaker 8: in what you're describing in your family member, this is 3198 03:07:33,160 --> 03:07:35,760 Speaker 8: not something that happen. How old was the family member 3199 03:07:35,800 --> 03:07:36,440 Speaker 8: when they got this. 3200 03:07:39,440 --> 03:07:39,800 Speaker 15: Caller? 3201 03:07:40,840 --> 03:07:42,520 Speaker 1: And she may have hung up? I think she hung up. 3202 03:07:42,600 --> 03:07:46,199 Speaker 8: Okay, Okay, Well then I can't answer a question when 3203 03:07:46,240 --> 03:07:48,720 Speaker 8: the person's not there. But the point is, Emilar goes, 3204 03:07:48,800 --> 03:07:51,920 Speaker 8: this is very rare. Most of the other callers, we're 3205 03:07:51,959 --> 03:07:56,640 Speaker 8: talking about common conditions that affect on a broad basis, 3206 03:07:56,920 --> 03:07:59,640 Speaker 8: and it being heart healthy months.
