They wouldn't let 55 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: him get the medical treatment that he deserved. And similar 56 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 2: situation going on in the Philadelphia era, she said, Pennsylvania. Yeah, 57 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 2: so so this is what but saying all of that 58 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: though came.

I mean, you know, I'm 62 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 2: sure that the progressive folks this morning or when the 63 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 2: news broke last night, we're kind of upset even though 64 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 2: we knew he was he was he was suffering and 65 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: could not get the medical attention that he needed for years. 66 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 2: That denied Hiven the medical attention that he needed. So 67 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 2: now he's made his transition. 68 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 4: John L. 69 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: Me and, as Kevin said, formerly knows h Rap Brown 70 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: is now an ancestor. 71 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: Yeah. 72 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 3: In other news, the administration again denies FEMA disaster relief 73 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 3: for Illinois, and the Trump administration is again, like I said, 74 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 3: denied another request from Illinois to assist in the state's 75 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 3: recovery from severe flash floods late in July, despite a 76 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 3: recent assessment detailing the widespread damage and financial costs of 77 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 3: the storms in Eleonderson Friday to a local Federal Emergency 78 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 3: Management Agency administrator and obtained by the Post. Illinois Governor JB. 79 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 3: Pritz appealed FEMA's denial for assistance and provided a report 80 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 3: that he said prove the state's damage met the criteria 81 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 3: needed to obtain individual as assistance from the federal government. 82 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 3: Even the Trump administration denied the requests for assistance back 83 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 3: in October because of insufficient severity in the state's resources. 84 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: According to the latter, was insufficient. 85 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: Severity that because you know it all started when, uh 86 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 2: it started with when when Princess started? And Johnson, the 87 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 2: mayor of Chicago then started criticizing, well, Trump did what 88 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 2: he did, sending the troops or timison troops, and the 89 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 2: Chicago pushed back, and Princes of course decided with his 90 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 2: mayor and pushed back as well. I'm just wondering how 91 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 2: much of that is played into that decision. 92 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 3: It's hard to tell, but the White Out spokesperson, a 93 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 3: spokeswoman Abigail Jackson, said, gone are the days of rubber 94 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 3: stamping FEMA recommendations. 95 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: There were days of that, and some. 96 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 3: Lawmakers and FEMA officials have contended that decisions on federal 97 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 3: aid for severe natural disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes, and 98 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 3: lash flooding have become increasingly political, favoring red states over blue, 99 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 3: especially when it comes to the speed of approving disaster declarations. Man, 100 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 3: this is going to come back on somebody. 101 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 4: Well you know this. 102 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 2: You know, I hate to interrupt you, kem oh no, 103 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: but you know this is what we're going to talk 104 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 2: with Professor Horn when it comes on. Because that meeting 105 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: between Mandannie and Mandannie and Trump at the White House, 106 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 2: because the New York City's got a lot of federal 107 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: issues on the table and they need money for funding, 108 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 2: you know, for transportation and they've been sort of held 109 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 2: up and they have a big canceled but they're being 110 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,679 Speaker 2: held up. And so some people think that this meeting 111 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 2: man Donnie requests his meetings, so he could, you know, 112 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 2: get get Trump to release those funds to help the city. 113 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. Because you already talked about 114 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 2: sending in a National Guard and he put that on 115 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 2: hold into New York City after the meeting. So I 116 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 2: think this is what we're seeing in Illinois, uh and 117 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 2: especially in the Chicago here. 118 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 4: It's a blowback, you know. 119 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 2: It's again he's playing that card, that political card for 120 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: the residents of Illinois. But we'll see how it plays 121 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 2: out though, because the elections are coming up and elections 122 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 2: have consequences. 123 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: As they say, it's a mess. 124 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 3: Man and the Border Patrol, speaking of National Guard targets 125 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 3: Charlotte shopping centers, say that three times Charlotte's shopping centers 126 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 3: US citizens were arrested. Channel nine reporter Hunter san Jezz 127 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 3: saw people using whistles to alert others as Border Patrol 128 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 3: agents conducted operations. The same week, two US citizens were 129 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 3: detained in Plaza Midwood after allegedly following agents during the 130 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 3: immigration crackdown. 131 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: That has led to two hundred and fifty arrests. 132 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 3: Man The scene was clearing as unmarked cars with Custom 133 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 3: Border Patrol agents inside rolled out, and in the parking 134 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 3: lot next to the ABC store there was a lady 135 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 3: named Teresa or Donats, and she was handing out whistles 136 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 3: and she works at a nearby restaurant. And they're showing 137 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 3: the pictures. They're looking in cars and pulling people out. 138 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 3: If you keep following us and impeating us, we will 139 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 3: take you in handcuffs. The agent, one of the agents 140 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 3: who's anonymous in and and then a further story about 141 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 3: that the uh there. 142 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 2: I mean for you for you going with that because 143 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 2: I got too interesting. Tree here from one of our 144 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 2: listeners listen earlier, like us as well, Kevin. He says, 145 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 2: the blue station withholds sending money to the federal government. 146 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: And that's like Illinois and New York and California. California 147 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 2: has the fourth largest economy in the world in the 148 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 2: world by itself as a state. California supports many of 149 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 2: these red states that they can't support themselves. The state 150 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 2: of California does. And what if these and that's a 151 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 2: question for again for Professor Horn, because not only is 152 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 2: he a scholar, but he's also an attorney. What if 153 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 2: these Blue states like Illinois, like New York, and Likelifornia 154 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 2: said we're not going to send any money to the 155 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: federal government. And that's the question I'm not gonna I'm 156 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 2: not gonna ask you, but I'm just wondering, what do 157 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 2: you think about that? What do you think would happen if. 158 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 1: The if only the Blue states were the ones affect. 159 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 2: We're holding no, hold their money instead of sending money, 160 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 2: because the money to the to the to the treasure, 161 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 2: the federal treasure, you know, all of a sudden money 162 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 2: to the federal through taxes. And California, the economies is 163 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 2: the fourth launchest in the entire world just by itself, 164 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 2: so it's the largest economy state economy in this country. 165 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 2: And California is subsidizing many of these red states, including Texas. 166 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 2: So what if they we've held their sending money and 167 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 2: you know, kind of like what the shale nations are 168 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 2: doing in Africa instead of sending money to the French treasure, 169 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 2: they're keeping the money and and in their countries and 170 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 2: doing it themselves and helping their country, and what if 171 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 2: the states like Illinois and New York and California did that. 172 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 2: So we're not gonna send any money in Washington, d C. 173 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 2: We keep the money here in our state capitals and 174 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 2: take care of folks. 175 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 3: Well, it's it's more than just a hypothetical. I mean, 176 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 3: eventually money runs out. It is a it's a finite 177 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 3: type of of element, and after a while, they may 178 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 3: not be enough to spread like that. 179 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: You know. 180 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 3: It's they're not just printing money themselves, are they. 181 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 2: So what you're saying, the federal government prints the money 182 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: right right right? 183 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 3: I see it as after a while, it's just going 184 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 3: to be, you know, out of necessity. 185 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 2: Interesting concept because the Red states have talking they're the 186 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: ones who are discussing breaking away. You know, they're the 187 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 2: ones who are taking a break away from the Union, 188 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: especially Texas. You know, yes, Texas, they've been talking that 189 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 2: if on the utility side, they've already broke away, and 190 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 2: then they have problems, you know, when they don't have 191 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 2: enough utility because they broke away, the neighboring states can't 192 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 2: help them. So they should rethink that folks in Texas 193 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 2: should be aware of that and. 194 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 3: Chuck Norris nominated himself to be the King of Texas. 195 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 3: When they do that, Chuck, no, nothing stops Chuck on 196 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 3: a happier no, perhaps give thanks for the discounts. 197 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: The feast will cost a little less this year. 198 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 3: The Thanksgiving meals are being discounted by many many of 199 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 3: the area stores in and outside of Washington, d C. 200 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 3: And so you had to check the list of what stores. 201 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 3: Aga'm not going to turn this into a commercial necessarily. 202 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 3: It's just that the good news is that the feast 203 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 3: is about five percent lower than it was last year, 204 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 3: and so so finding places that have a mega surplus 205 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 3: of food and you should be able to have a 206 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 3: blessed Thanksgiving no matter which way you go. Thanks for 207 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 3: your time. That's the way it is, Carl on the 208 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 3: twenty fourth. Oh and by the way, the Dallas Cowboys 209 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 3: game was terrific. I'm an Dallas fan. I was hoping 210 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 3: the Eagles would pull it off. But man, sometimes when 211 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 3: you focus, things can happen. 212 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: You can win. 213 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 2: Can so any oh did you hear that what happened? 214 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 2: Though supposedly Tom Brady said the N word during the game, 215 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: somebody sent me a copy of what he says. And 216 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 2: I'll posted on Facebook so you can check it out. 217 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 2: If he did, let me know if you didn't say 218 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 2: the N word. 219 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 4: That's what they say. 220 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 3: Who pays attention to Tom Brady. Man, he's still a 221 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 3: rookie as far as yeah wow, let's keep my eyes 222 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 3: and ears on that guy. 223 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: But thanks for your time, Carl. 224 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 2: All right, thanks Kevin Fortune at the top.

I don't 240 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 2: know the play calling down the stretch. Some people wonder 241 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,479 Speaker 2: some money change hands because they've never seen that atrocious 242 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 2: play calling and the execution as well. Those are reading 243 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 2: all the comments. 244 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, put on the tail feathers. Well, goo ahead. 245 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 5: We had the ball with three minutes to go. It 246 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 5: was it was perfect. We had the perfect setup to 247 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 5: kill the clock and drive the ball to fill and 248 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 5: win the game. And it didn't happen. And normally we 249 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 5: could pull that off. 250 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 2: So I was, oh, man, you can put that in 251 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 2: in a high school game, a. 252 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 4: Clock management. 253 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's Arkham's razor right there. 254 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 3: It's easier to get ninety nine yards than to get 255 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 3: that one yard. 256 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 7: That's true, that's true. 257 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 2: But so we talked about Mathough Edward, what's going on 258 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 2: at jail school? The Collegian the Baltimore Colchian School for Boys, Well, 259 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 2: you know. 260 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 5: We're charter school. For those who don't know, Baltimore Collegiate 261 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 5: School for Boys is a charter school in Baltimore, Maryland, 262 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 5: and we service boys from fourth grade through eighth grade. 263 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 5: And we got started back in twenty fifteen. And the 264 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 5: reason why we started in the fourth grade is because 265 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 5: we were looking at the information which said that they 266 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 5: were building jail fills based on the number of boys 267 00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 5: who couldn't read by third grade. They're looking ill literal 268 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 5: receive rates that if they couldn't read about third grade, 269 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 5: more than likely they would not have a successful school 270 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 5: career and eventually wind up in trouble in the law. 271 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 5: And so we saw that and decided, you know what, 272 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 5: we're going to start a school which is going to 273 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 5: help these boys. And we started in the fourth grade 274 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 5: so we could catch boys before they slipped through the cracks, 275 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 5: hopefully turn them around academically, and put them in good 276 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 5: enough shape that they could go off into high school 277 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 5: and then hopefully eventually go to college. And so what 278 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 5: happens with charter schools is, you know, we start off 279 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 5: with a five year run and then after that they 280 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 5: review you and decide whether they're going to give you 281 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 5: a renewal, and you can get a three year, of 282 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 5: five year, or eight year renewal. But they do that 283 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 5: every time a renewal ends. 284 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 2: After right, hold that all right there ed wet aside 285 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 2: for a few moments, so take a first break for 286 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 2: these Monday morning, seventeen minutes after time, theyn family discussing 287 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 2: of school in Baltimore. 288 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 4: It's a boys, all boys school. 289 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 2: It's a Baltimore Collegian school for boys under attack for 290 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 2: the school board in Baltimore City.

Tell 298 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 2: us what's going on. 299 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 5: Sure, So, as I was sharing with your audience, you 300 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 5: get renewed. You get renewed every so many years. 301 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 7: They take you to a review, look at all your books, 302 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,479 Speaker 7: look at all you know, what's happening in the classroom, 303 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 7: do surveys, and then they come back with the finding 304 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 7: whether they want to renew you. After our first five years, 305 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 7: we got a three year renewal. And then at the 306 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 7: end during that thirdy, that second or that three year renewal, 307 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 7: the pandemic hit. And so. 308 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 5: In the midst of the pandemic, all of our students 309 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 5: go home, we had to you know, educate them virtually, 310 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 5: where all the children across the country eventually were online learning. 311 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 5: And then as we come to the end of our renewal, 312 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 5: we come back into the building and things were just 313 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 5: really a little chaotic. You know, teachers that quit, it 314 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 5: was a big teacher shortage, children who've been you know, 315 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 5: holed up in their homes came back, a little rambunctions 316 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 5: in our control, and so things were really challenging. So 317 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,959 Speaker 5: at the end of that third year renewal, Baltimore City was, uh, 318 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 5: you know, the CEO was going to recommend that they 319 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,959 Speaker 5: not renew us, but then she went on it and 320 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 5: recommended to the Board of Commissioners to renew us. And 321 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 5: eventually the Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to extend us, 322 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 5: and that led us into a three year another three 323 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,479 Speaker 5: year renewal, and that's where we are right now at 324 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 5: the third year of the second three year renewal. However, 325 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 5: this time the CEO has recommended to the Board of 326 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 5: Commissioners that they not re knew our charter and the 327 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 5: reasons that she says that, you know, we say that 328 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 5: we're not an academic success and that we're having, you know, 329 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 5: financial challenges, and so you know, I'm always you know, 330 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 5: forthcoming with regards to the academic not an academic success, 331 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 5: here's a challenge. Baltimore City boys are way behind, and 332 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 5: we wind up we can kind of become that school 333 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 5: where where people when they have boys that are having 334 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 5: academic our behavioral challenges, we wind up getting a lot 335 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 5: of them. And since we start in the fourth grade, 336 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 5: you can only imagine like every school charter of public 337 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 5: they get a per pupil allocation, and so you want 338 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 5: to keep every single student you have in your school 339 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 5: because that's how you get paid. That's how you get 340 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 5: the money to be able to operate even your traditional schools. 341 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 5: So if you're letting children go after the third grade 342 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 5: to go someplace for the fourth grade, typically you want them. 343 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 5: And so we wind up getting those boys. And what 344 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 5: we find is that two thirds of the young men 345 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 5: that come in are not proficient in math or in English, 346 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 5: and so there are two and three grade levels below 347 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 5: where they need to be. So our job then is 348 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 5: to take those boys in. Because we're in a lottery system, 349 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 5: it's not a selection, it's not like they apply and 350 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 5: we get to hand pick which boys we want. We 351 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 5: take all the boys. Our job is to help every 352 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 5: one of those boys, and we know if we don't 353 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 5: help them, they could wind up be out there in 354 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 5: the street, probably wind up go to jail or something 355 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 5: like that down the road. We know that, and so 356 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 5: we go to work to help those boys. We bring 357 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 5: in extra tutors, So we have to spend a lot 358 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 5: of our budget them bringing in tutors to help the 359 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 5: boys to learn how to read, to help boys with math, 360 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 5: and to do all these additional work. But what that 361 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 5: does is, you know, the test scorers that walk in 362 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 5: the door quite often don't jump in a year and 363 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 5: maybe even two as you're trying to increase them. But 364 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 5: they the boys do grow incrementally, and we make a 365 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 5: huge difference in the boys. And that's the thing about 366 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 5: our school is what we're designed to do is to 367 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 5: help boys. And our boys are ninety eight percent African 368 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 5: American boys, and so we have a building full with 369 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 5: outstanding teachers, many of them are men. We have probably 370 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 5: more men in our school working with our boys than 371 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 5: any other school in Baltimore, definitely of an elementary or 372 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 5: middle school size. We have over twenty three men that 373 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 5: are in there. So you got lots of males that 374 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 5: are role models, men that have want college, men that 375 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 5: are in the classroom teaching the boys, administering the boys, 376 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 5: coaching the boys, and we work on discipline, structure, and 377 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 5: really helping the boys understand their worth and their value. 378 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 5: And we push college. We push and pushed and push college, 379 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 5: stem education, entrepreneurship, all those things that we do to 380 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 5: actually make boys want to come to school and want 381 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 5: to get better. And so what winds up happening and 382 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 5: what has been happening for the last four years, four 383 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 5: years in a row, the boys who graduated from our 384 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 5: school in the eighth grade have now graduated from high school. 385 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 5: And what we have found is that our alumni, the 386 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 5: boys that leave us in eighth grade, graduate from high 387 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 5: school at a ninety percent rate. And that's compared to 388 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 5: the same boys with the same demographic in Baltimore City 389 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 5: whose average is sixty percent. So what we set out 390 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 5: to do, which was to turn these boys around and 391 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 5: not let them fail, is actually happening. They're graduating in a. 392 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 7: Ninety percent as opposed to sixty percent. 393 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 5: That said, Baltimore City still sees you know that they 394 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 5: look at our test scores and compare us to other 395 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 5: schools and say, you're not doing as well as other schools. 396 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 5: And what we say to them is that you're comparing 397 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 5: apples to orange. We're the only all boys public or 398 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 5: charter school in the state. And private schools or public 399 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,479 Speaker 5: schools for your audience, we're not a private school. We 400 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 5: are a public school. We get our money from Baltimore 401 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 5: City public schools. We get the money through the State 402 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 5: of Maryland, so we get a per pupil allocation. We 403 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 5: just managed differently with our own curriculum, our own structure, 404 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 5: and our own mission, and so our boys. If you 405 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 5: were to compare us with several schools throughout the city 406 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,719 Speaker 5: and take the girls out of the mix. When they 407 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 5: compare schools, they're comparing all boys school to a co 408 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 5: ed school. We say to them, take out the girls' data, 409 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 5: and let's look at the boys and all these other 410 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 5: schools with a similar economic, discipantaged background, and you'll see 411 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 5: that our boys either match those schools or in some 412 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 5: cases surpass those schools. And so if you're going to 413 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 5: close us on academics, you probably need to close about 414 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 5: another ten of your own schools because their numbers are 415 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 5: the same as a test. Wise, then they talk about 416 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 5: the finances. It is, you know, a financial challenge to 417 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 5: operate a charter school in Baltimore City because the chartered 418 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 5: law in the state originally said that the districts could 419 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 5: only hold two percent of each school's per pupil allocation. 420 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 5: So our schools were supposed to get ninety eight percent 421 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 5: of our per pupil allocation so that we could educate 422 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 5: our boys. But what Baltimore City does is they take 423 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 5: twenty five percent and tell us to operate off of 424 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 5: seventy five percent. 425 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 7: Now, what we have to pay for out of that money. 426 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 7: We got to pay all of our salaries of all 427 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 7: of our teachers, our principals, our administrators. But we also 428 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 7: have to pay for our building, We have to pay 429 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 7: for the cleaning services, we have to pay for the facilities, 430 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 7: and regular schools don't have to. So the regular schools 431 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 7: don't have to pay for their building out of their allocation. 432 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,959 Speaker 7: Plus they're getting their entire allocation where we're opposed at 433 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 7: ninety eight percent, we're only getting seventy five percent. So 434 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 7: what does that begin to do? That puts pressure on 435 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 7: us to have to make a decision and do I 436 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 7: pay for the tutors that help these boys who are underperforming, 437 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 7: or do I pay you know, do I pay my rent, 438 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 7: or do I pay you know, some other bills. Some 439 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 7: things is going to slip through the cracks, and it 440 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 7: puts a ton of pressure on us. And so what 441 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,239 Speaker 7: begins to happen is, you know, we might build up 442 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 7: accounts payables and not have as much cash on hand. 443 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 8: And so our. 444 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 7: Projection shows that we would have, like at the end 445 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 7: of the year, fourteen days cash on end. They want 446 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 7: us to have sixty day cash on end, and they 447 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 7: want us to do not have negative assets. But it's 448 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 7: hard not to have negative assets if you have accounts payable. 449 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 7: So those are the things they're putting pressure on us 450 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 7: with regard to our finances, even though they're taking more 451 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 7: than they're necessarily supposed to. So that means we have 452 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 7: to go out and raise this money from the community. 453 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 7: We got to go to foundations, we got to go 454 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 7: to individuals and ask them, will you donate to our 455 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 7: school so we can educate these public school children. We're 456 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 7: record the traditional schools don't have to do the same thing. 457 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 7: And if I don't raise a half a million dollars 458 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 7: or more per year, it puts us in this situation 459 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 7: where they're threatening us that you know, we can't survive 460 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 7: based on our finances, but it's all this pressure on 461 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 7: us to have to raise outside money instead of using 462 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 7: the actual body that was dedicated for the children that 463 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 7: we're educating. And so that puts us in a situation 464 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 7: where the CEO has recommended that the school board not 465 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 7: approve us. That folk comes up on January fourteenth, so 466 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 7: in between that time we have to go present ourselves 467 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 7: and defend our case. So in December fourth at five 468 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 7: point thirty, there will be a virtual meeting called a 469 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 7: work group meeting, where we're meeting with the school board 470 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 7: and telling them our story everything that we can tell 471 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 7: them within four minutes. And then there's two hearings. One 472 00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 7: on December December eleven, there is a hearing at North 473 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 7: Avenue two hundred East North Avenue in Baltimore at five 474 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 7: point thirty from five thirty to seven thirty. We asked 475 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 7: the public if they want to testify, they could come 476 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 7: down there and testify, but they have to register with 477 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 7: the school board between hours of three and five on 478 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 7: that day to get on the docket to be able 479 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 7: to testify, and they get three minutes. So that's December eleventh, 480 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 7: and then again on January eighth, there will also be 481 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 7: another two hour hearing. Once again, people have to get 482 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 7: down there between three and five and register and then 483 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 7: the thing takes place between five thirty and seven thirty 484 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 7: and then the vote happens on January to fourteenth, and 485 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 7: so in between that time, we're asking everybody to go 486 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 7: to our website Baltimore Collegiate dot com backslash Renewal, and 487 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 7: on that page it shows everybody how they. 488 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 5: Can support us. It puts the names and address mail 489 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 5: addresses of all the boards of Commissioners. We ask them 490 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 5: to write them emails, write them letters, send them videos, 491 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 5: tell them how they feel.

Everybody here, let me. 514 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 2: Jup me here for a second. There, let me jump 515 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 2: here for a second anyway, because a bunch of stuff 516 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 2: here we we want to tackle first. You know what 517 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 2: you just said, Can you can you put up a 518 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 2: flyer and put it in and get social media involved 519 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 2: and we'll pass it around and ask people to repost 520 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 2: it first. That's first because and you got to look 521 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 2: at it. It bigger than Baltimore. Don't don't just think 522 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 2: it's just Baltimore. But we got a lot of people, 523 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 2: most of our listen and not in Baltimore. Now, they 524 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 2: were willing to help. And these are people who are 525 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 2: willing to help you. So that's the first thing. 526 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 4: Now. 527 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 2: The second is the second be fugging of the financi Oh, 528 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 2: ye'll let me go to the finances, because they take 529 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 2: they give you seventy five percent of what you give. 530 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 2: Is what's a lot? Is correcting I'm saying that. And 531 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 2: the question is is it just your school or is 532 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 2: it all at the schools? 533 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 7: It's all charter schools in Baltimore City. So we actually 534 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 7: have a case against that. We have it's fourteen of 535 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 7: us charter school members have put up money to get 536 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 7: a lawyer to challenge Baltimore City for our money, and 537 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 7: we were trying to get them to give us the 538 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 7: correct amount for the twenty twenty this twenty six school year, 539 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 7: twenty five twenties six school year, and so we had 540 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 7: hit them last spring with the lass, you know, basically 541 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 7: for the lawsuit. But that lawsuit is to be settled 542 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 7: with Baltimore, with the State of Maryland's Board of Education. 543 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 4: So we challenge hold up the thought, right there? 544 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 2: Do you think because you file the lossuit there's some 545 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 2: sort of retribution going on here that they say they 546 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 2: get rid of you, they also get rid of the lawsuit. 547 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 7: Well, you know, it's not just me, it's not just 548 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 7: our school. It's like I said, it's about thirteen other 549 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 7: schools that are challenging them. But you know, I let 550 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 7: people make their own assumptions. I'm not going to speak 551 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 7: on what I think that they're doing. I just tell 552 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 7: the facts and the fact that they had come for us. 553 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 7: But we are a part of the group that's challenging 554 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 7: them to give us all of our money. Because we 555 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 7: do that this could happen. We knew that they would 556 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 7: put us in a situation. 557 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 2: Here's another fact. There's another fact er in the school. 558 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 2: The population of the school across the country has dropped. 559 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 2: They're trying to figure out what it is, especially in 560 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 2: the public school system every major city, and it dropped. 561 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 2: Some people say it's because the ice raids, and some 562 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 2: people say it's not that. Some people are saying that 563 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 2: then moving their children to private schools. I don't know, 564 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 2: how do you see the decline in the school population 565 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 2: across the board, not just your school, but all and Balted, 566 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 2: but all the other cities as well. They's say the 567 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 2: same things. In fact, they're thinking about closing schools or 568 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 2: consolidating schools in certain cities. 569 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 5: Well, what's happening? You're absolutely right, there is a shrinky 570 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 5: school population because the newer generations, the Millennials and gen 571 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 5: zas are they're not having as many children, they're. 572 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 7: Not getting married as much as they've used to, they're 573 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 7: not having as many children, and so as. 574 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 5: A result, school districts are beginning to decline. And so 575 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 5: when cities like Baltimore, it is a decline. 576 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 7: And in a. 577 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 5: City that has about seventy two thousand elementary and middle 578 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 5: and high school students, the charter schools have about twenty 579 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 5: twenty two thousand of them. So that has shrunk the 580 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 5: traditional population from seventy two to fifty and so they're 581 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 5: looking at ways, how do we recoup it. Get some 582 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 5: of these students back in our classrooms, and get the 583 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 5: dollars from those charter schools back to our schools. And 584 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 5: so the way we see it is they target the 585 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 5: schools that they feel are the most vulnerable, and those 586 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 5: are typically the black run schools. You know, there's only 587 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 5: a handful of us that are actually African American run 588 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 5: schools that the boards, you know, the people who organize 589 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 5: it and run it are African Americans. There are larger 590 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 5: organized nations that are primarily you know, organizer run by 591 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 5: people who aren't African American, and they have deeper pockets, 592 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 5: you know, more resources, and so they don't mess with them. 593 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 5: They give them nice five and eight year renewals. But 594 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 5: for us that we're always being challenged with three year renewals. 595 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 5: And you know, when they go out in the public 596 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 5: and this is what they did to us the last time, 597 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 5: when they go out in the public and tell them 598 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 5: that they're recommending that we be closed, it's not even 599 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 5: that the vote has gone down. 600 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 7: When you do that. 601 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 5: Before the vote happens, you freeze people applying to our school. 602 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 5: You also freeze any fundraising that I can do because 603 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 5: people think, well, why would I give you any funds 604 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 5: because you're going to close, And so's it's like damn 605 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 5: if you do, damn if you don't. Because they're saying 606 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 5: to me that you have to have more money. As 607 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 5: I go out to try to raise more, people say money. 608 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 5: People say, I don't know, it looks like you're going 609 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 5: to close, so they don't give us some money. Or 610 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 5: the other way we get money is by enrollment, and 611 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 5: so if people stop applying to our school to enroll 612 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 5: their kids, that reduces the money that we can get to. So, 613 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 5: you know, they kind of set it up. But technically 614 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 5: they're not supposed to tell the community according to their 615 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 5: own regulations. They go against their own regulations. Their own 616 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 5: regulation says on the CEO's recommendational renewal, only my board, 617 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 5: their board, the mayor, and the political the elected representatives 618 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 5: of the area where the school is is supposed to 619 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 5: be notified, not the press, not my families, not anybody else. 620 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 5: But what they do is they announce it to the press. 621 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 5: They send a letter to my schools so for us 622 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 5: to backpack and send it to the kids' parents. They 623 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 5: send an email to the parents. Then they come in 624 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 5: our building and they have a meeting to tell our 625 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 5: teachers and tell our parents what they're recommending months before 626 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 5: the vote. And that's not supposed to happen. Do you 627 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 5: think that I just named that they did is only 628 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 5: supposed to happen after the movie if they've decided not 629 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 5: to renew. 630 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 2: Us And a whold U though right there, we got 631 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 2: to check the latest news and when we come back 632 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 2: Bill in Baltimore.

Edwin had been on because 680 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 6: you did a couple of things. First, I want to 681 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 6: invite the people in Baltimore to go visit the school. 682 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 6: I mean, I've been at that school many times. In 683 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 6: the atmosphere, man, I mean just unbelievable. So I'm not 684 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 6: asking people to first to go visit, because people could 685 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 6: see see it for themselves. Secondly, I just wanted to 686 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 6: raise the question in terms of that. You know, just 687 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 6: a couple of years ago, the Board of Education was 688 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 6: sued saying that there was not educating the children, the 689 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,320 Speaker 6: students of Baltimore. So it was a suitor and about 690 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 6: that as well. It was a couple of schools that 691 00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 6: had they was forging the attendance of the schools, and 692 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 6: the superintendent signed the leases on her on her way out. 693 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 6: So I'm kind of dismayed in terms of that. You know, 694 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 6: they could spend its efforts going after a school that's 695 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:18,320 Speaker 6: actually lifting up black boys, uh A, that that's making 696 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 6: a difference in our community, that's making a lot of 697 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 6: us feel good in terms of the atmosphere that is 698 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,799 Speaker 6: being created there, in terms of teaching the boys, giving 699 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 6: the boys respecting stuff. And so you know, for the 700 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:34,280 Speaker 6: Board of Education to spend uh it's time in terms 701 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 6: of trying to close the school that's actually demonstrating what 702 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 6: they need to demonstrate. With them being suited themselves with 703 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 6: not educating the students of Baltimore is a double standard 704 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 6: to me. I mean, they need to be trying to 705 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 6: get the schools that they're controlling together because they've been 706 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 6: sued saying that they're not educating the children of Baltimore. 707 00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,839 Speaker 6: If we're talking about all the public schools that they're 708 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 6: sponse before so you know, to go after seven schools 709 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 6: are just ridiculous and I'm ask the people hey to 710 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 6: please come out and support this is school.

They're in school trying to get 841 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,400 Speaker 2: an education.

They don't want to register 848 00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,239 Speaker 2: their children because they figure the school is going to 849 00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 2: be closed. So that's that's that's wrong. That's a no no, 850 00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 2: that's a violation that should be stopped right away. But 851 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:01,759 Speaker 2: let me ask you this though. Did you have an 852 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,680 Speaker 2: attorney working with you or can you get some some 853 00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 2: people to do some And there's another issue here because 854 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,239 Speaker 2: if you don't, we should have some some of some 855 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,920 Speaker 2: legal scholars and even going to law school who can 856 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,960 Speaker 2: help you do some pro boner work for your helping 857 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 2: with this issue. 858 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,800 Speaker 7: And do you have any Yeah, well, actually on my board, 859 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 7: I have a couple of attorneys on our on our 860 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 7: own board who you know, wait and and help us. 861 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 7: But then there's some like I have kind of reached 862 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,799 Speaker 7: out to a lawyer or to to look in this 863 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:36,960 Speaker 7: particular instance where they're going against their own regulation with 864 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 7: regards to notification and telling the community and telling people 865 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,680 Speaker 7: other than who they were supposed to tell the recommendations to, 866 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,800 Speaker 7: because to me that that causes damage.

But we 995 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:40,120 Speaker 5: just want to overwhelm the you know, our mayor, our city, 996 00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:44,560 Speaker 5: our city council, our state delegates. We want to overwhelm 997 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:48,080 Speaker 5: them with the you know voices being heard that we. 998 00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:48,720 Speaker 7: Want the school. 999 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,160 Speaker 5: The school who's graduates are graduating from high school at 1000 00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,680 Speaker 5: a ninety plus percent rate and going off to college. 1001 00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,240 Speaker 5: We want the school to exist because we are the bridge. 1002 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,040 Speaker 5: We're the bridge from that third grade for them to 1003 00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:03,680 Speaker 5: get to high school. And a lot of these boys 1004 00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:07,480 Speaker 5: are lost in that space of time, be from that 1005 00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,880 Speaker 5: third grade to eighth grade. If they can. 1006 00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,200 Speaker 7: Never learn how to read and do maths, they give 1007 00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,240 Speaker 7: up and they drop out. And so we're the bridge 1008 00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,120 Speaker 7: that keeps them focused, helps them get their skills up, 1009 00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,719 Speaker 7: and by the time they leave us, they can actually 1010 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:24,160 Speaker 7: hang in high school and graduate at a higher percentage 1011 00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,560 Speaker 7: than the city. And so that's what we're focused on. 1012 00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,759 Speaker 7: Between test scores and everything like that. You know, we 1013 00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:34,080 Speaker 7: typically don't do extremely well on these standardized tests, but 1014 00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,319 Speaker 7: that's not the end all be all when it comes 1015 00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:40,160 Speaker 7: to the success of the individuals, it's the determination, it's 1016 00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:44,080 Speaker 7: the grit, it is the structure that we give them, 1017 00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 7: the discipline. These are the things that we're giving them 1018 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,920 Speaker 7: in our school. Plus we love on them. We let 1019 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,080 Speaker 7: them know that, hey, young man, you're intelligent. Don't let 1020 00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,759 Speaker 7: anybody tell you you're not. And we help them develop that. 1021 00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:57,760 Speaker 7: And so that's what makes us different. 1022 00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:03,239 Speaker 5: And appeal appeal to editing true as well. 1023 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,879 Speaker 2: Get the law enforcement agencies too, because makes it job 1024 00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:07,920 Speaker 2: easier if these boys are in school, they're not on 1025 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,520 Speaker 2: the street doing things they shouldn't be doing.

I studied 1094 00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:42,520 Speaker 7: political science as an undergraduate student, Carl. I was taught 1095 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,200 Speaker 7: by one of the most brilliant political sciences in the 1096 00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:49,280 Speaker 7: country at the time. His name was Haynes Walton, Junior 1097 00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,440 Speaker 7: Haines like the T shirt maker, his last name was 1098 00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:56,720 Speaker 7: Walton and doctor Walton taught political science as Savannah State 1099 00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:01,680 Speaker 7: for about twenty five years of nineteen six nineteen ninety two, 1100 00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:06,960 Speaker 7: and I learned from him, and that's what I continue 1101 00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,840 Speaker 7: to go on and earn. My THHD at the University 1102 00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:13,960 Speaker 7: of Maryland College Park in political science so that's how 1103 00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,760 Speaker 7: I got my start.

Carl 1105 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:25,160 Speaker 7: for the past twenty five, almost twenty six years. 1106 00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:26,120 Speaker 4: Oh wow. 1107 00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:28,400 Speaker 2: Interested in the Ivy League school Any difference around the 1108 00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:30,720 Speaker 2: Ivy League than the other schools that you taught at. 1109 00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,840 Speaker 7: Well, I taught that Duke before I came up here, 1110 00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,720 Speaker 7: and there's a slight, slight, slight difference. It's a very 1111 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:42,600 Speaker 7: interesting environment and one which I've worked really hard to 1112 00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:47,040 Speaker 7: thrive in. In terms of an academic researcher, I must 1113 00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,760 Speaker 7: say this's the students here at Brown are very wonderfully 1114 00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:53,880 Speaker 7: young people.

Diggs Junior 1120 00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:12,919 Speaker 7: down at Savannah State Professor Walton Haynes Walton Jr. Who 1121 00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:16,560 Speaker 7: was a brilliant political scientist. Professor Walton, by the way, 1122 00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:22,280 Speaker 7: Carl literally created the sub field of black politics in 1123 00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:27,480 Speaker 7: American political science. He created the study of our politics. 1124 00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:31,440 Speaker 7: He was a key architect, and I was blessed Carl 1125 00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:34,880 Speaker 7: to be under his tutelage for a number of years. 1126 00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:39,680 Speaker 7: He remained my friend until he passed away in twenty thirteen. 1127 00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,680 Speaker 7: I'm just honored to put his name out there to 1128 00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:47,280 Speaker 7: your listeners. And in the courses that professor taught Professor 1129 00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:52,480 Speaker 7: Walton taught down at Savannah State, Charles Diggs came up 1130 00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:56,200 Speaker 7: often Walton taught in any other courses there. He was 1131 00:59:56,520 --> 01:00:01,400 Speaker 7: a small teaching school at the Savannah State. For example, Carl, 1132 01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:07,520 Speaker 7: when Professor Walton taught American politics, he would teach his 1133 01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:10,840 Speaker 7: students about the presidency and the critical role that the 1134 01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:15,080 Speaker 7: president played Article one of our Constitution. He would talk 1135 01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:18,880 Speaker 7: about the Supreme Court and how the Court supposed to 1136 01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:24,040 Speaker 7: rule over these trials that come before them. And then 1137 01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:28,200 Speaker 7: he would talk about the legislature, the Congress, and there 1138 01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:32,080 Speaker 7: he would tell us about Charles Diggs Junior and the 1139 01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:36,960 Speaker 7: fact that Charles Diggs Junior was the founder, the founder 1140 01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:40,000 Speaker 7: of the Congressional Black Caucus. So he would come up 1141 01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:45,320 Speaker 7: in that course. When Professor Walton taught urban politics course 1142 01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:50,240 Speaker 7: on cities, Diggs would come up in that course. Because 1143 01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:54,320 Speaker 7: Walton was very careful to teach his students that Washington, 1144 01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:58,640 Speaker 7: d C. A major city, was a unique city, and 1145 01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,680 Speaker 7: he would tell us for his own ample that Charles 1146 01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:07,240 Speaker 7: Diggs Junior was the father of home rule for Washington, DC. 1147 01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:12,040 Speaker 7: So he would come up in Professor Walton's urban politics classes. 1148 01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:16,200 Speaker 7: And then finally, when Professor Walton taught a course on 1149 01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:21,640 Speaker 7: African politics, which I took from him, Bigs would come 1150 01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:26,680 Speaker 7: up in that that course, Carl, because Diggs. A few 1151 01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:32,080 Speaker 7: people may not realize this, but Diggs was the leader 1152 01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:36,800 Speaker 7: of the American anti part time movement in this country. 1153 01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:40,920 Speaker 7: In fact, you could argue that the American anti a 1154 01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:46,280 Speaker 7: part time movement literally started in Congressman Diggs a congressional office. 1155 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:50,680 Speaker 7: So I learned about him an undergraduate school, Carl. I'd 1156 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,640 Speaker 7: go on to the University of Maryland to study political 1157 01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:56,680 Speaker 7: science to earn a PhD. And I still learn more 1158 01:01:56,720 --> 01:02:00,800 Speaker 7: about Diggs. And after being a professor for many years, 1159 01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:05,440 Speaker 7: I discovered that no one, no one had written a 1160 01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:09,919 Speaker 7: book on this remarkable American leader, whom I have learned 1161 01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:13,320 Speaker 7: about since I was seventeen eighteen years old, So about 1162 01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:17,240 Speaker 7: ten eleven years ago, I decided to take the plunge 1163 01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:21,120 Speaker 7: and to write this book called the House of Diggs. 1164 01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:27,240 Speaker 7: It is the first biography, a comprehensive biography of Congressman Diggs. 1165 01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:29,240 Speaker 2: Hold that though right there I step aside for a 1166 01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:32,320 Speaker 2: few moments, and of course the Congressman Diggs was instrumental 1167 01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:35,600 Speaker 2: and steading of the Black Power Conference in Gary, Indiana 1168 01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:36,320 Speaker 2: in seventy two. 1169 01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:37,720 Speaker 4: That's what I was looking for. 1170 01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:40,160 Speaker 2: Family, you want to join our conversation with our guest, 1171 01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:41,880 Speaker 2: doctor Orr. He's written a book called The House of 1172 01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,880 Speaker 2: Diggs's about Detroit Conshman Charles Diggs. Reach out to us 1173 01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:48,000 Speaker 2: at eight hundred and four five zero seventy eight seventy 1174 01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:50,720 Speaker 2: six and we'll take your phone calls next and grand 1175 01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,360 Speaker 2: Rising family, thanks for starting your week with us again. 1176 01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:56,480 Speaker 2: I guess it's Professor Marion Orr. Dr Or teaches of 1177 01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:59,480 Speaker 2: Brown University in rhode On, and he's also written a 1178 01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:03,600 Speaker 2: book about Charles Diggs, Congressman Charles Digs, who represented Detroit. Professor, 1179 01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:05,280 Speaker 2: let me ask you this when I heard about this 1180 01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:08,120 Speaker 2: book and I was thinking and some of the things 1181 01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:11,480 Speaker 2: you mentioned that the Congressman Diggs, did you know founding 1182 01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:14,640 Speaker 2: a Congression Black Caucus, what he did against the Ponte 1183 01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:19,320 Speaker 2: South Africa, the seventy two Black Powamade and Gary. I 1184 01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:23,600 Speaker 2: was trying to think of a comparison, any person, whether 1185 01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,160 Speaker 2: it be in the Caucus or just outside the caucas 1186 01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:31,240 Speaker 2: who could compare what Diggs did. They all came up short. 1187 01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:34,280 Speaker 2: They all paled in comparison. Could you find it? Do 1188 01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,280 Speaker 2: you know anyone right now on the scene that you 1189 01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:38,880 Speaker 2: could compare with Congressman Diggs? 1190 01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:43,160 Speaker 7: Well, Carl, let me guess say. I subtitled the book. 1191 01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:46,280 Speaker 7: The book is called House of Biggs, and it's subtitle 1192 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:52,120 Speaker 7: The Rise and Fall of America's most consequential Black Congressman 1193 01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:56,760 Speaker 7: Charles C. Diggs, Junior. When I went through the archives 1194 01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:01,320 Speaker 7: down to Howard University, and I visited other HARP archives 1195 01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:06,480 Speaker 7: around the country, interviewed many people who knew Congressman Digs, 1196 01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:10,840 Speaker 7: including members of the Congress who served with him. I 1197 01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:14,400 Speaker 7: just came away with the conclusion that of all the 1198 01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:17,640 Speaker 7: men and women Black men and women who served in 1199 01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:21,400 Speaker 7: the US Congress, this guy just ranked very high. In fact, 1200 01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:24,920 Speaker 7: he could very well be the most consequential. Let me 1201 01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:29,360 Speaker 7: guess at this. When you examined the record of Diggs 1202 01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:36,520 Speaker 7: and look at the other members of Congress, white, black, liberal, conservative, 1203 01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:41,400 Speaker 7: Republican and Democrat. This guy would rank high on anyone's 1204 01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:46,600 Speaker 7: a measure. He was a very serious congress member, a 1205 01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:52,640 Speaker 7: policy oriented congress member who really tried hard to get 1206 01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:56,120 Speaker 7: things done. So, to answer your question, no, there's very 1207 01:04:56,160 --> 01:05:00,360 Speaker 7: few that can stand next to this guy in terms 1208 01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:06,200 Speaker 7: of the kinds of tangible, tangible accomplishments. 1209 01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:09,200 Speaker 2: And having said that, though, professor, is it is it 1210 01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,560 Speaker 2: because the generational thing is because what was going on 1211 01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:13,720 Speaker 2: back then is compared to what's going on now. 1212 01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:17,800 Speaker 7: Well, that could be the case. But also again the 1213 01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:21,600 Speaker 7: sort of legacy that that that he left that we 1214 01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:29,400 Speaker 7: typically don't recognize. For example, if you fly in in 1215 01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:34,320 Speaker 7: the airplanes these days, you probably don't realize that Diggs 1216 01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:41,440 Speaker 7: played a major role in desegregating commercial commercial air travel, 1217 01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:46,800 Speaker 7: both down at the airport terminal level and in terms 1218 01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:50,960 Speaker 7: of employment. Uh So, his legacy is just so strong. 1219 01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:55,680 Speaker 7: You mentioned you mentioned, for example, the anti part time movement. 1220 01:05:56,040 --> 01:06:00,000 Speaker 7: There his legacy again still very strong. We could lay 1221 01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:04,800 Speaker 7: for example, the election of Nelson Mandela to some extent 1222 01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:08,800 Speaker 7: to Digg's row in Congress. It could very well have 1223 01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:12,200 Speaker 7: been part of the times, but it's also the tangible, 1224 01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:17,800 Speaker 7: tangible legacy that this leader left behind. 1225 01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:20,520 Speaker 2: Twenty five minutes of the top of our family. Just 1226 01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:23,080 Speaker 2: checking in our guess if professor or Marion or teachers 1227 01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,920 Speaker 2: of Brown University has written a book about Charles Diggs 1228 01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:28,320 Speaker 2: called The House of Diggs and interesting, you got a 1229 01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:30,200 Speaker 2: question reach out to us at eight hundred and four 1230 01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:33,240 Speaker 2: five zero seventy eight seventy six. Now in the book 1231 01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:38,000 Speaker 2: you mentioned that the Diggs got a trainload of Detroit's 1232 01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:40,240 Speaker 2: to come to DC to watch him being sworn in. 1233 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:41,000 Speaker 4: What was behind that? 1234 01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:45,880 Speaker 7: Well, it really goes to the extent back to his 1235 01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:50,600 Speaker 7: upbringing in Detroit. Diggs was born in nineteen twenty two. 1236 01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:53,960 Speaker 7: He was the son of the Great Mike Grayson. His parents, 1237 01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:58,960 Speaker 7: his father, Charles Diggs Senior, moved to Detroit from Mississippi 1238 01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:03,840 Speaker 7: and his mother many Digs, came to Detroit from Tennessee 1239 01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:09,520 Speaker 7: doing the Great Migration, and so the parents Carl would 1240 01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:13,920 Speaker 7: form a very prosperous funeral home called the House of Dicks. 1241 01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:18,280 Speaker 7: And the House of Digg's funeral home in Detroit was 1242 01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:23,520 Speaker 7: the leading black funeral parlor if you will, in the 1243 01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:26,640 Speaker 7: city in the fifties and sixty if you were black 1244 01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:29,640 Speaker 7: and died in Detroit, you were highly likely to be 1245 01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:34,080 Speaker 7: buried by the Bigs family. So it became very very 1246 01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:38,280 Speaker 7: well known, very prosperous. If you will, the father, Carl 1247 01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:43,200 Speaker 7: will parlay the success of the funeral home into electoral 1248 01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:48,040 Speaker 7: politics and would win office. He would win a state 1249 01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:52,880 Speaker 7: Senate seat in Michigan, in fact, becoming in nineteen thirty six, 1250 01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:57,080 Speaker 7: the first black Democrat elected to the Michigan State Senate. 1251 01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:01,680 Speaker 7: So the father was very, very popular, very civic minded, 1252 01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:07,280 Speaker 7: a big important leader in Detroit in Michigan quite frankly 1253 01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:10,480 Speaker 7: from the thirties until the nineteen sixties. It was the 1254 01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:15,360 Speaker 7: father's idea. The father's idea Carl, once his son got 1255 01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:20,519 Speaker 7: elected in nineteen fifty four, to organize this train ride 1256 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:26,840 Speaker 7: where he would bring more than four hundred largely black 1257 01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:31,600 Speaker 7: Americans from Detroit to Washington, d c. In January of 1258 01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:36,680 Speaker 7: nineteen fifty five for them to witness the swearing in 1259 01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:42,880 Speaker 7: of Michigan's first black congress member. The Diggs family was 1260 01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:47,439 Speaker 7: very very close to the Detroit black community. They were 1261 01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:53,080 Speaker 7: well like. The funeral home was an institution in Detroit. 1262 01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:57,040 Speaker 7: In fact, the funeral home sponsored a radio program that 1263 01:08:57,120 --> 01:09:04,280 Speaker 7: Congressman Diggs hosted every Sunday. They also sponsored charitable charitable events. 1264 01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:08,960 Speaker 7: They sponsored a little league baseball and softball and basketball. 1265 01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:13,200 Speaker 7: They were very supportive of the black community, and the 1266 01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:17,679 Speaker 7: black community loved the Diggs family because they were really 1267 01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:24,719 Speaker 7: good people. So the BIG's father, Carl, wanted Black Detroit 1268 01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:28,719 Speaker 7: to be a part of the celebration of the election 1269 01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:32,720 Speaker 7: of his son of Michigan's first black congress member, and 1270 01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:37,200 Speaker 7: so the father organized as train ride and they drove 1271 01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:42,840 Speaker 7: rode the train from Detroit overnight to the swearing and 1272 01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:47,200 Speaker 7: ceremony the next morning down in Washington, d C. It 1273 01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:52,040 Speaker 7: was a wonderful scene. I enjoyed writing about that because, 1274 01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,200 Speaker 7: you know, can you imagine seeing all these black folk, 1275 01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:57,799 Speaker 7: you know, first of all organizing themselves at the Michigan 1276 01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:02,400 Speaker 7: train station and then landing down and Union Station in Washington, DC. 1277 01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:05,240 Speaker 7: It was a real scene and one that many people 1278 01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:07,000 Speaker 7: wrote about later on. 1279 01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:11,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, just a visual on that's just an outstanding thank you, 1280 01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:12,360 Speaker 2: Yes family. 1281 01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:13,040 Speaker 4: Just checking in. 1282 01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:16,000 Speaker 2: Professor Marion Ors, I guess the teachers of Brown University 1283 01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,200 Speaker 2: is a police SCIA professor has reading a book about 1284 01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:21,000 Speaker 2: Charles Diggs.

Excuse me, And no one wants to 1299 01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:23,880 Speaker 14: be known for their any mistakes or any mistakes they 1300 01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:27,120 Speaker 14: may have made. But how would you compare Diggs to 1301 01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:32,400 Speaker 14: Adam Clinton Powell and his power or in his work 1302 01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:33,800 Speaker 14: in the Congress. 1303 01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:36,519 Speaker 13: Yeah, so that's the cool question, sir. 1304 01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:40,040 Speaker 7: You know, listen, thank you for your for your question. 1305 01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:41,000 Speaker 6: Uh. 1306 01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:45,879 Speaker 7: Diggs played a major role at the National Black Political 1307 01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:49,479 Speaker 7: Invention in nineteen seventy too. Let me add I don't 1308 01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:52,960 Speaker 7: think that convention would have occurred had it not been 1309 01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:57,320 Speaker 7: for Congressman Diggs, because many of his colleagues in the 1310 01:11:57,320 --> 01:12:02,519 Speaker 7: Congression of Black caucuss was very little being connected with 1311 01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:06,920 Speaker 7: the black militants and black radicals like a mirror of Baraka. Baraka, 1312 01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:10,120 Speaker 7: as you may recall, was not only talking about holding 1313 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:13,519 Speaker 7: this convention, but he also was pushing for a Black 1314 01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:18,880 Speaker 7: political party. So all of our black leaders were Democrats. 1315 01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:22,320 Speaker 7: So there was real reluctance, real reluctance on behalf of 1316 01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:24,880 Speaker 7: many of the Congressional Black Caucus members, and they were 1317 01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:28,479 Speaker 7: about thirteen or so members at that point to be 1318 01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:32,680 Speaker 7: involved in the convention. But listen, you really could not 1319 01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:38,559 Speaker 7: have a Black political convention in nineteen seventy two and 1320 01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:42,679 Speaker 7: not have the Congressional Black Caucus involved in it, because 1321 01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:48,080 Speaker 7: the Caucus at that particular moment was really the symbol, 1322 01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:53,600 Speaker 7: if you will, of black politics Diggs. Diggs was a 1323 01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:59,200 Speaker 7: very strategic political leader who really tried to work with 1324 01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:04,360 Speaker 7: a bronx rectum of Americans. He firmly believed that as 1325 01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:09,040 Speaker 7: a racial minority and as a numerical minority in particular, 1326 01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:13,879 Speaker 7: that Black Americans had to have a broad coalition of support. 1327 01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:18,680 Speaker 7: Hints Diggs was willing to work for black radicals and 1328 01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:23,120 Speaker 7: let's say black conservatives like William Dawson, the Congressman from 1329 01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:29,480 Speaker 7: Chicago who served from nineteen forty three until early nineteen seventies. 1330 01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:33,639 Speaker 7: So at the convention, Diggs plays a big role because 1331 01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:40,840 Speaker 7: he's really bringing in the caucas and other elected officials 1332 01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:43,960 Speaker 7: at the time. So he plays a very very important role. 1333 01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:47,639 Speaker 7: I write about the scene that you mentioned, brother, when 1334 01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:51,879 Speaker 7: he makes the back call at I think that Saturday 1335 01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:54,839 Speaker 7: at the convention. I write about that and what happened 1336 01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:59,280 Speaker 7: to him at that particular, that particular moment. How does 1337 01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:03,800 Speaker 7: one compare Charles Diggs with Adam Clayton Powell. I do 1338 01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:05,720 Speaker 7: a little bit of this in the front part of 1339 01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:09,200 Speaker 7: the book. And let me say this, Adam Clayton Powell 1340 01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:13,840 Speaker 7: was a very very significant and important Black American leader 1341 01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:18,320 Speaker 7: in fact, in fact, from the time he got elected 1342 01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:20,960 Speaker 7: in nineteen forty two he took office in forty three, 1343 01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:27,479 Speaker 7: he literally immediately became one of the countries leading black 1344 01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:32,160 Speaker 7: spokes persons that you will, So from nineteen forty three 1345 01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:37,440 Speaker 7: until the rise of Doctor King, at the Montgomery bus boycott. 1346 01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:45,080 Speaker 7: Really Powell was dominated. He dominated the media coverage of 1347 01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:51,000 Speaker 7: Black America. He was a minister in Harlem, he was 1348 01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:55,000 Speaker 7: an activist minister, and he was a militant race leader. 1349 01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:58,840 Speaker 7: If you will, I argue in the book that Adam 1350 01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:08,280 Speaker 7: Clayton Powell really overshadowed Uh Digs because Diggs was somewhat quiet, unassuming, 1351 01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,439 Speaker 7: a kind of person, and for a good part of 1352 01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:15,280 Speaker 7: his career he served with with Powell and the and 1353 01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:18,559 Speaker 7: the media. You see, the media was drawn to Powell 1354 01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:21,720 Speaker 7: because he was demonearing, he was a great speaker, he 1355 01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:25,040 Speaker 7: was handsome, and so I argue in the book that 1356 01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:31,160 Speaker 7: that that that Powell, if you will, overshadowed Uh Congressman Digs. 1357 01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:36,160 Speaker 7: But when you began to look seriously at their records, 1358 01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:40,080 Speaker 7: at what they were able to achieve as legislator to 1359 01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:45,679 Speaker 7: us and Congress members, you really have to uh come 1360 01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:51,080 Speaker 7: to the conclusion that Digs achieved much more. 1361 01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:51,960 Speaker 5: Let me guess act. 1362 01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:56,160 Speaker 7: Let me guess at that because Diggs had a reputation 1363 01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:01,040 Speaker 7: of being a serious legislator. He he is the person 1364 01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:07,240 Speaker 7: how civil rights leaders reach out to in Congress when 1365 01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:12,320 Speaker 7: they wanted something done, because they knew they knew that 1366 01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:17,240 Speaker 7: Diggs would follow through, okay. Read the record of Adam 1367 01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:22,080 Speaker 7: Clayton Powell. He didn't often follow through, okay, and this 1368 01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:26,240 Speaker 7: is why many of the civil rights leaders oftentimes didn't 1369 01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:29,040 Speaker 7: trust him, if you will. So that's part of what 1370 01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,920 Speaker 7: I write about in the book. But my book is 1371 01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:37,160 Speaker 7: focused on Diggs and the tremendous work that he accomplished 1372 01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:43,360 Speaker 7: while in Congress. This is a person who's almost been forgotten. 1373 01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:46,479 Speaker 2: All right, twenty five away from the top of that family. 1374 01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:49,120 Speaker 2: Just checking in as doctor Marion or it's written a 1375 01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:51,000 Speaker 2: book about Charles Diggs, and you can reach him at 1376 01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,360 Speaker 2: eight hundred four five zero seventy eight seventy six.

But how do you think the congressmen would 1456 01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:33,160 Speaker 9: feel about that? And last thing I wanted to say, 1457 01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:38,519 Speaker 9: I think people all the congressional black congress members now 1458 01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:42,599 Speaker 9: should read your book to get some insight on, you know, 1459 01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:45,200 Speaker 9: the power that they do have and execute it in 1460 01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:46,559 Speaker 9: the proper manner. 1461 01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:49,599 Speaker 5: That's a good that's a that's a good point. 1462 01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:51,840 Speaker 7: My brother. Let me get ship to a couple of 1463 01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:56,560 Speaker 7: couple of things, you know, in terms of how congres 1464 01:21:56,680 --> 01:22:00,840 Speaker 7: is behaving today, what's happening today? Uh, you know, the 1465 01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:07,120 Speaker 7: framers of the Constitution designed Congress to be a place 1466 01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:12,120 Speaker 7: of bargaining and compromised and that's part of what Diggs 1467 01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:15,200 Speaker 7: had to do when he served. Let me just tell 1468 01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:18,280 Speaker 7: your listeners. He served from nineteen fifty five to nineteen 1469 01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:21,920 Speaker 7: eighty and so these would look at the Congress today 1470 01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:26,280 Speaker 7: and say, really, they're not doing what the Framers design 1471 01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:30,200 Speaker 7: the Congress to do. That is to be an institution 1472 01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:35,360 Speaker 7: of bargaining and compromised. And if you read my book, 1473 01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:38,320 Speaker 7: you see that at times Diggs had to make some 1474 01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:43,960 Speaker 7: serious compromises to move things forward. So he would look 1475 01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:49,920 Speaker 7: at Congress and say, they're not doing what the Framers envisioned. 1476 01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:52,960 Speaker 7: The other thing that I think he would also look 1477 01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,960 Speaker 7: at and say, well, Congress is not doing the kind 1478 01:22:56,000 --> 01:23:03,680 Speaker 7: of oversight the administration at the Framers envision. And this 1479 01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:06,840 Speaker 7: is part of what Diggs was so effective at as 1480 01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:10,720 Speaker 7: a Congress member doing his tenure in Congress, that is, 1481 01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:17,600 Speaker 7: using his oversight authority to make certain that the executive 1482 01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:23,840 Speaker 7: branch is doing what Congress intended it to do. Diggs 1483 01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:30,479 Speaker 7: firmly believed that black representation matters, and so he would 1484 01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:36,559 Speaker 7: today be pushing for Detroit and other communities where black 1485 01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:39,360 Speaker 7: people can mobilize and elect one of their own to 1486 01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:42,680 Speaker 7: do just that. It matters. Let me just give you 1487 01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:47,759 Speaker 7: a good example of this. I mentioned earlier that Diggs 1488 01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:51,559 Speaker 7: played a role in desegregating commercial air travel. He played 1489 01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:56,600 Speaker 7: a big role in that, and especially in terms of employment. Pilots, 1490 01:23:57,560 --> 01:24:02,439 Speaker 7: airline attendants fight the tennis rather and the engineers, those 1491 01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:06,760 Speaker 7: folks who are owned the airplane. In nineteen fifty four, 1492 01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:15,480 Speaker 7: Diggs defeated a Citty incumbent, a Democrat incumbent named George O'Brien. 1493 01:24:16,479 --> 01:24:23,880 Speaker 7: George O'Brien was white liberal Democrat who voted liberally in Congress. Okay. 1494 01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:31,759 Speaker 7: O'Brien flew from Detroit to Washington, d C. Every week, 1495 01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:34,479 Speaker 7: back and forth as a member of Congress for some 1496 01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:40,920 Speaker 7: twenty something years. Diggs defeated him in nineteen fifty four 1497 01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:44,719 Speaker 7: and began to take the same flight back and forth 1498 01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:49,599 Speaker 7: from Detroit to Washington, d C. But Diggs saw something 1499 01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:54,160 Speaker 7: different that O'Brien never never saw. And this is this 1500 01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:59,519 Speaker 7: Diggs imediately realized that there were no black pilots. There 1501 01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:03,360 Speaker 7: were no black they called them stewardess then or flight attendant. 1502 01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:07,240 Speaker 7: There were no black engineers. All the black folks who 1503 01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:10,240 Speaker 7: worked for the major airlines, you know, did the kind 1504 01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:15,760 Speaker 7: of sweeping the luggage. They weren't on the airplane, and 1505 01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:20,720 Speaker 7: Diggs understood that black Americans could fly airplanes because he 1506 01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:26,240 Speaker 7: was a Tuskegee airman down in Alabama. My point is this, 1507 01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:30,360 Speaker 7: Diggs would come into office and he would immediately began 1508 01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:36,400 Speaker 7: to push Delta TWA and the other major airlines at 1509 01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:41,040 Speaker 7: that period to hire black people to be on the airplane. 1510 01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:43,360 Speaker 7: And you see him in my book. I write about 1511 01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:47,040 Speaker 7: this in the book. He's working with Vice President Lyndon 1512 01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:51,960 Speaker 7: Johnson to make certain that these airlines open up the 1513 01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:57,599 Speaker 7: space for Black Americans. This is why I say black 1514 01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:03,240 Speaker 7: representation matter. O'Brien in the Liberal White Democrat flew on 1515 01:26:03,280 --> 01:26:08,160 Speaker 7: the same airplane that digs and never ever raised this 1516 01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:12,639 Speaker 7: question about why is it that African American Americans can't 1517 01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:16,160 Speaker 7: be pilots, Why is it black women at the time 1518 01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:19,160 Speaker 7: could not be flight attendants. Why couldn't black folk be 1519 01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:25,439 Speaker 7: engineers on the airplane? Black representation really matters. And I 1520 01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:28,839 Speaker 7: think that's just one example. And if Diggs were here today, 1521 01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:32,000 Speaker 7: he would be saying the same thing that it matters. 1522 01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:35,760 Speaker 9: Okay, well, thank you so much for that, because does 1523 01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:39,160 Speaker 9: your book talk about his interaction with our other legendary 1524 01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:45,280 Speaker 9: congress person from Detroit, John Congress Junior, do you kind 1525 01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:46,040 Speaker 9: of go into. 1526 01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:49,479 Speaker 5: That and yes, thank you for that question. 1527 01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:52,240 Speaker 7: Let me tell you this, my brother, I had a 1528 01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:55,720 Speaker 7: wonderful opportunity to talk to many of the men and 1529 01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:59,599 Speaker 7: women who served the Congress and Digs on Capitol Hill, 1530 01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:04,520 Speaker 7: including John Conyers. I met with him in his Detroit office, 1531 01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:10,479 Speaker 7: and he talked glowingly, glowingly about Diggs and how Diggs 1532 01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:14,240 Speaker 7: used his seniority. Let me just remind your listeners that 1533 01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:18,240 Speaker 7: Conyers came in to office in nineteen sixty five, haven't 1534 01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:22,519 Speaker 7: been elected in nineteen sixty four, ten years, ten years 1535 01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:26,719 Speaker 7: after Diggs, you know, got elected. And what Conyers told 1536 01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:30,200 Speaker 7: me was that how Diggs, you know, helped him learn 1537 01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:34,519 Speaker 7: what's what to do down in Capitol Hill. So he 1538 01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:39,400 Speaker 7: spoke fondly of Diggs and how Diggs used his seniority 1539 01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:44,640 Speaker 7: to advance the cause of civil rights and to push 1540 01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:48,559 Speaker 7: for a freedom for Black Africans on the continent. 1541 01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:53,240 Speaker 9: Well, I got goosebump over here talking. 1542 01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:58,439 Speaker 7: You should get this book, man, because this Diggs was 1543 01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:02,880 Speaker 7: just a phenomenal, phenomenal American leader. Let me you ask 1544 01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:06,400 Speaker 7: about how he worked with Congress. Here's what I discovered 1545 01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:11,720 Speaker 7: Biggs worked well with almost everyone. He had this He 1546 01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:15,519 Speaker 7: had this, He had this demeanor about him that allowed 1547 01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:20,200 Speaker 7: him to work with for a mirror of Iraka, for example, 1548 01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:24,880 Speaker 7: the black radical, a militant, and he was able to 1549 01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:29,639 Speaker 7: work with Bill Dawson, the conservative of black congressman from 1550 01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:32,400 Speaker 7: from from Chicago. And the men and women who I 1551 01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:37,520 Speaker 7: interviewed and talked to really attributed that to his his demeanor. 1552 01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:42,240 Speaker 7: He was quiet, unassuming, not a pushover. Gonna get me wrong, 1553 01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:44,800 Speaker 7: He was not a pushover, but he knew how to 1554 01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:48,200 Speaker 7: work with people, how not to sort of burn bridges 1555 01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:52,160 Speaker 7: that he may need later on. He was just a 1556 01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:59,639 Speaker 7: stellar strategic legislator who knew how to operate in the Congress, 1557 01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:04,120 Speaker 7: who knew who knew, and realized that when he came 1558 01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:07,880 Speaker 7: to Congress, my brother, he was only one of three 1559 01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:14,080 Speaker 7: three black men serving in Congress at the time, four 1560 01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:17,360 Speaker 7: hundred and thirty five people in the House, only three 1561 01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:20,240 Speaker 7: were I think an American, and so he had to 1562 01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:20,960 Speaker 7: figure out how do. 1563 01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:22,599 Speaker 10: You maneuver in that kind of. 1564 01:29:22,680 --> 01:29:26,479 Speaker 7: Environment to push for civil rights, to push for anti 1565 01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:30,640 Speaker 7: apartheid legislation, you see. And he was just a strategic 1566 01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:36,920 Speaker 7: person who really wanted us to what he could in 1567 01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:40,320 Speaker 7: that position in Congress to advance the cause for freedom 1568 01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:43,479 Speaker 7: for us here in America and for freedom for our 1569 01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:45,280 Speaker 7: brothers and sisters on the continent. 1570 01:29:46,479 --> 01:29:48,920 Speaker 9: Oh well, thank you very much, thank you. 1571 01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:49,960 Speaker 4: Thanks. 1572 01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:51,840 Speaker 2: Two Away from the topic, I come up on a 1573 01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:54,160 Speaker 2: breakthrough assuming I got a tweet question from another detroitter 1574 01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:57,200 Speaker 2: for you, doctor or treatd says, I'm so glad to 1575 01:29:57,240 --> 01:29:59,720 Speaker 2: hear more about the great legacy of Charles Diggs.

The congressman was married four times, 1629 01:33:11,400 --> 01:33:17,120 Speaker 7: he had six children, and so he had financial challenges. 1630 01:33:17,439 --> 01:33:20,200 Speaker 7: The house of Dig's funeral home that I talked about 1631 01:33:20,240 --> 01:33:26,120 Speaker 7: earlier would face serious financial challenges and it would collapse 1632 01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:33,040 Speaker 7: in the early I'm sorry, the mid seventies. And so Diggs, 1633 01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:37,759 Speaker 7: let me just say this. I'm not telling your listeners 1634 01:33:37,880 --> 01:33:41,120 Speaker 7: just for an excuse for the congressman. I'm just explaining 1635 01:33:41,240 --> 01:33:44,280 Speaker 7: what happened to him. And what happened to him is 1636 01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:48,479 Speaker 7: that he was desperate, desperate for money, and he was 1637 01:33:48,520 --> 01:33:51,920 Speaker 7: in a position as a leading member of Congress, a 1638 01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:55,720 Speaker 7: senior member of Congress, and chairs of two committees in 1639 01:33:55,760 --> 01:33:59,600 Speaker 7: Congress I mean a committee and a subcommittee to do 1640 01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:03,040 Speaker 7: the things. So what he did was he gave his 1641 01:34:04,439 --> 01:34:10,320 Speaker 7: then secretary a salary increase, and the salary increase from 1642 01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:15,920 Speaker 7: the secretary came back to Diggs to help pay his 1643 01:34:16,160 --> 01:34:22,960 Speaker 7: personal bills. The secretary agreed with this arrangement, and hence 1644 01:34:23,400 --> 01:34:27,240 Speaker 7: this is what happened. This went on for over two years. 1645 01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:33,519 Speaker 7: The woman would eventually resign. She didn't like working in 1646 01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:38,080 Speaker 7: the office anymore, she didn't like the arrangement with the 1647 01:34:38,280 --> 01:34:43,519 Speaker 7: with the salary, and she resigned. And the kickback, we 1648 01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:46,600 Speaker 7: call that a kickback scheme. You know, the employee is 1649 01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:51,040 Speaker 7: kicking back the salary to uh to the employer, and 1650 01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:57,760 Speaker 7: so the payroad scheme stopped when she resigned, and I'm 1651 01:34:57,760 --> 01:34:59,960 Speaker 7: not going to reveal it all called to your list 1652 01:35:00,280 --> 01:35:02,760 Speaker 7: I want them to go and purchase the book. And 1653 01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:05,080 Speaker 7: if you in DC, you should go to San Kopa 1654 01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:10,040 Speaker 7: Bookstore on Georgia Avenue. And if you in Detroit, the 1655 01:35:10,120 --> 01:35:13,080 Speaker 7: wonderful people at Source Booksellers on cash out. It's a 1656 01:35:13,080 --> 01:35:17,880 Speaker 7: great place to purchase the house of Diggs. So she resigned, 1657 01:35:18,760 --> 01:35:22,880 Speaker 7: the kickback scheme stopped because there is no one doing it. 1658 01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:29,560 Speaker 7: Diggs hires someone to replace this woman, and the replacement 1659 01:35:30,120 --> 01:35:37,040 Speaker 7: goes through diggs files and discovered that Diggs had been 1660 01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:43,160 Speaker 7: involved in this payroll kickback scheme. And this person who 1661 01:35:43,160 --> 01:35:46,000 Speaker 7: I'm not going to tell your listeners, but it's in 1662 01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:49,639 Speaker 7: the book. Let me just tell you this, fella, Carl 1663 01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:55,599 Speaker 7: I was able to get Congressman diggs FBI file, and 1664 01:35:55,760 --> 01:36:02,160 Speaker 7: my book is the first to reveal the identity of 1665 01:36:02,200 --> 01:36:07,840 Speaker 7: the confidential informant who picked up the phone in March 1666 01:36:07,880 --> 01:36:12,680 Speaker 7: of nineteen seventy seven and called the Justice Department and 1667 01:36:12,920 --> 01:36:16,640 Speaker 7: tipped them off and said, I want you to know 1668 01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:21,000 Speaker 7: that Diggs was doing this kickback scheme. And shortly thereafter 1669 01:36:21,040 --> 01:36:25,719 Speaker 7: the phone call was made the FBI showed up. Diggs 1670 01:36:25,840 --> 01:36:31,519 Speaker 7: was indicted on twenty nine counts in this kickback scheme, 1671 01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:37,479 Speaker 7: and he was convicted on all twenty nine counts by 1672 01:36:37,560 --> 01:36:44,679 Speaker 7: a DC jury of eleven Black Americans and one white person. Okay, 1673 01:36:44,760 --> 01:36:49,559 Speaker 7: he was convicted sentenced to three years in prison, but 1674 01:36:49,720 --> 01:36:54,280 Speaker 7: he would serve only seven months. He would come out 1675 01:36:54,280 --> 01:37:01,360 Speaker 7: of prison in nineteen eighty one. He would live the 1676 01:37:01,400 --> 01:37:05,559 Speaker 7: rest of his life in Prince George's county outside of Washington, 1677 01:37:05,640 --> 01:37:10,439 Speaker 7: d C. And Congressman Diggs died in August of nineteen 1678 01:37:10,640 --> 01:37:16,600 Speaker 7: ninety eight of a massive stroke. So yes, he you know, 1679 01:37:18,080 --> 01:37:22,479 Speaker 7: brother Carl, each of us is more than the worst 1680 01:37:22,479 --> 01:37:26,640 Speaker 7: thing we've ever done. That's a quote from Brian Stevenson's 1681 01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:31,960 Speaker 7: book on Jush Mercy. Each of us is more than 1682 01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:35,920 Speaker 7: the worst thing we've ever done. And Diggs should be 1683 01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:41,800 Speaker 7: remembered not from the scandal that your listener tweeted here, 1684 01:37:42,160 --> 01:37:47,640 Speaker 7: but he should be remembered for this tremendous contributions he 1685 01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:52,719 Speaker 7: made in this country and around the world. And brother Carl, 1686 01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:56,200 Speaker 7: we didn't touch on all the things that I've uncovered 1687 01:37:56,800 --> 01:38:00,840 Speaker 7: in the research about what this remarkable man. And did 1688 01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:04,320 Speaker 7: you know, for example, Your listeners in DC may not 1689 01:38:04,520 --> 01:38:08,479 Speaker 7: know that the Frederick Douglas Home in Washington, d C, 1690 01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:12,000 Speaker 7: Anacostia over there, is a part of the National Park 1691 01:38:12,120 --> 01:38:16,160 Speaker 7: System because Diggs in nineteen sixty two pushed a bill 1692 01:38:16,240 --> 01:38:19,840 Speaker 7: through Congress to do that. Your listeners in DC may 1693 01:38:19,880 --> 01:38:24,280 Speaker 7: not know that it was Diggs who pushed the legislation 1694 01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:28,680 Speaker 7: through Congress that created the University of the District of 1695 01:38:28,760 --> 01:38:32,080 Speaker 7: Columbia u d C, which is the only public institution 1696 01:38:32,720 --> 01:38:36,599 Speaker 7: in our nation's capital. And many of your listeners may 1697 01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:40,640 Speaker 7: not know that Biggs was, in fact the father of 1698 01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:44,880 Speaker 7: home rule for Washington, d C. That is under under 1699 01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:50,479 Speaker 7: tremendous attack right now by the Trump administration and the 1700 01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:56,720 Speaker 7: Republicans in Congress. This was a remarkable American leader that 1701 01:38:57,439 --> 01:39:00,519 Speaker 7: should not have been forgotten, if he shouldn't not be 1702 01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:07,559 Speaker 7: remembered by this scandal. I underscore Brian Stevenson's quote again, 1703 01:39:07,960 --> 01:39:11,320 Speaker 7: each of us is more than the worst thing we've 1704 01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:11,840 Speaker 7: ever done. 1705 01:39:13,800 --> 01:39:14,320 Speaker 4: I get it. 1706 01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:17,120 Speaker 2: So this you think does not tarnish because he's done 1707 01:39:17,320 --> 01:39:19,559 Speaker 2: a lot of stuff, remarkable stuff that he's done, All 1708 01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:21,559 Speaker 2: that stuff that you mentioned had done in the DMV. 1709 01:39:21,720 --> 01:39:22,360 Speaker 4: I did not know. 1710 01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:26,080 Speaker 2: I knew about the Aparteta I knew about also working 1711 01:39:26,439 --> 01:39:30,320 Speaker 2: with the Congression Black Caucus starting up the Congression Black Aus. 1712 01:39:30,479 --> 01:39:32,720 Speaker 2: Knew about the seventy two Gary Convention. But did I know 1713 01:39:32,720 --> 01:39:34,960 Speaker 2: all the stuff that he did? So before you go, 1714 01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:39,439 Speaker 2: just just does that outweigh You're saying what he did 1715 01:39:39,960 --> 01:39:42,800 Speaker 2: at that ended his career on Capitol Hill does not 1716 01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:44,639 Speaker 2: outweigh all the good that he did for us as 1717 01:39:44,640 --> 01:39:46,200 Speaker 2: a people, not just Detroit as alone. 1718 01:39:47,320 --> 01:39:51,800 Speaker 7: Oh, no question about it. This this brother, you know 1719 01:39:52,200 --> 01:39:58,479 Speaker 7: he was an imperfect man. Okay, he was a complex man. 1720 01:39:58,680 --> 01:40:01,240 Speaker 7: Let me tell you something. The members of the Black 1721 01:40:01,360 --> 01:40:06,200 Speaker 7: Caucuss and the members of Congress were shocked, were shocked 1722 01:40:07,360 --> 01:40:11,759 Speaker 7: when they heard about the indictment of Congressmen Diggs. Louis 1723 01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:16,320 Speaker 7: Stope told me. The congress member from Cleveland said to me, Professor, 1724 01:40:16,560 --> 01:40:20,960 Speaker 7: we couldn't believe Digs or do anything wrong. Okay, So, yes, 1725 01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:26,240 Speaker 7: he was an imperfect man. Uh, he was a complex man. 1726 01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:33,639 Speaker 7: But his problems with the scandal affected his personal life. 1727 01:40:33,680 --> 01:40:37,600 Speaker 7: If you will, let me guess say, other folk have 1728 01:40:37,720 --> 01:40:44,519 Speaker 7: done much more worse things than than Congressmen Congressman Congressman Digs, 1729 01:40:45,280 --> 01:40:48,639 Speaker 7: but never less.

Thanks for being so patient with us. 1759 01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:15,000 Speaker 10: Thank you for inviting me. 1760 01:42:16,200 --> 01:42:18,160 Speaker 4: Well, let's let's let's get it started. 1761 01:42:18,160 --> 01:42:22,080 Speaker 2: Professor Horn, you know your thoughts on this This deal 1762 01:42:22,160 --> 01:42:25,080 Speaker 2: is supposed to be coming close between Ukraine and Russia. 1763 01:42:25,280 --> 01:42:28,519 Speaker 2: They broken by Donald Trump. Your thoughts on this deal. 1764 01:42:28,960 --> 01:42:33,280 Speaker 8: Well, in a sect, it represents a surrender by Ukraine. 1765 01:42:34,120 --> 01:42:38,240 Speaker 8: I think that Barack Obama had it right when he 1766 01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:43,600 Speaker 8: was reluctant to intervene aggressively in Ukraine because, according to 1767 01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:48,519 Speaker 8: mister Obama, Russia had escalatory domins. Let us just say 1768 01:42:48,640 --> 01:42:54,600 Speaker 8: it's a country bigger in territory, bigger in population than Ukraine, 1769 01:42:55,200 --> 01:42:59,720 Speaker 8: and it's obvious that Ukraine has become heavily dependent upon 1770 01:42:59,760 --> 01:43:03,360 Speaker 8: one Shington to continue the struggle. In in the past few weeks, 1771 01:43:03,400 --> 01:43:08,040 Speaker 8: they've lost territory, they're losing soldiers at an astonishing cliff. 1772 01:43:08,680 --> 01:43:12,360 Speaker 8: The problem for mister Zelensky, the Ukrainian leader, is that 1773 01:43:12,400 --> 01:43:15,880 Speaker 8: if he signs onto this Trump deal. He's basically a 1774 01:43:15,960 --> 01:43:19,320 Speaker 8: dead duck at home, and so he has a very 1775 01:43:19,360 --> 01:43:20,760 Speaker 8: difficult decision to make. 1776 01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:24,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, from all the parents, it seems like this deal 1777 01:43:24,720 --> 01:43:27,360 Speaker 2: is written by the Russians, that adopted by Trump. But 1778 01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:29,639 Speaker 2: what's what's what's the rest of the world saying? What's 1779 01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:33,280 Speaker 2: Europe saying? Because obviously he gets that land back from Ukraine, 1780 01:43:33,360 --> 01:43:34,320 Speaker 2: He's not going to stop there. 1781 01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:34,920 Speaker 4: They know that. 1782 01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:37,240 Speaker 2: Well, why don't they just come in and say that, 1783 01:43:37,280 --> 01:43:41,479 Speaker 2: we will give you the military, the weapons it's that 1784 01:43:41,680 --> 01:43:43,280 Speaker 2: Donald Trump is holding for him, you so you can 1785 01:43:43,320 --> 01:43:46,599 Speaker 2: fight the Russians because that will keep him uh uh 1786 01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:48,120 Speaker 2: off our doorsteps. 1787 01:43:48,120 --> 01:43:50,200 Speaker 4: Why why am they stepped up and said that yet? 1788 01:43:51,120 --> 01:43:54,519 Speaker 8: Well, the Europeans are full of bluster, but they don't 1789 01:43:54,560 --> 01:43:59,519 Speaker 8: necessarily have the wherewithal to assist mister Zolensky. They would 1790 01:43:59,560 --> 01:44:03,200 Speaker 8: have to weapons cash on the barrel head from the 1791 01:44:03,280 --> 01:44:08,040 Speaker 8: United States from America and transfer those weapons to the Ukrainians. 1792 01:44:08,560 --> 01:44:12,040 Speaker 8: The problem is their economies are in a funk, and 1793 01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:14,519 Speaker 8: so they don't have cash on the barrel head. What 1794 01:44:14,600 --> 01:44:17,040 Speaker 8: they do have is a lot of fire breathing rhetoric, 1795 01:44:17,479 --> 01:44:19,960 Speaker 8: but at this point that doesn't really count for much. 1796 01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:24,200 Speaker 2: Could China step in or was it was that? Was 1797 01:44:24,240 --> 01:44:25,960 Speaker 2: that starting our World War Three? 1798 01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:28,640 Speaker 8: What China's on the side of Russia. That's one of 1799 01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:31,040 Speaker 8: the reasons why Russia has been able to prevail. That's 1800 01:44:31,040 --> 01:44:33,120 Speaker 8: one of the reasons why Russia has been able to 1801 01:44:33,160 --> 01:44:40,280 Speaker 8: survive sanction. And I think that mister Trump in any case, 1802 01:44:41,080 --> 01:44:46,040 Speaker 8: has so badly alienated the so called allies, starting with Canada, 1803 01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:51,000 Speaker 8: which he is threatened to annext including Denmark's threatening to 1804 01:44:51,080 --> 01:44:55,600 Speaker 8: seize their columny that is Greenland, and mister Trump in 1805 01:44:55,600 --> 01:44:58,200 Speaker 8: the United States don't have much credibility nowadays. 1806 01:44:59,560 --> 01:45:02,880 Speaker 2: So from the Service it looked like he's done because 1807 01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:06,120 Speaker 2: if he takes this deal, and also they're calling for elections. 1808 01:45:06,120 --> 01:45:08,839 Speaker 2: The part of that deal calls for elections in Ukraine. 1809 01:45:08,920 --> 01:45:12,080 Speaker 2: Obviously they're talking about regime change here. That's I think 1810 01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:15,320 Speaker 2: that's the goal as well. Uh so is Zelenski if 1811 01:45:15,320 --> 01:45:17,960 Speaker 2: he accepts he's out. 1812 01:45:18,400 --> 01:45:19,759 Speaker 4: Is that the bottom line? 1813 01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:24,840 Speaker 8: Oh? Absolutely, they've painted themselves into a real corner. That 1814 01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:29,400 Speaker 8: is to say, when mister Trump replaced mister Biden, that 1815 01:45:29,680 --> 01:45:32,200 Speaker 8: was the signal. It seems to me for Zilinsky to 1816 01:45:32,200 --> 01:45:36,280 Speaker 8: cut a deal as opposed to waiting until November to 1817 01:45:36,360 --> 01:45:38,600 Speaker 8: try to cut a deal when he's obviously on the 1818 01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:39,200 Speaker 8: back foot. 1819 01:45:41,439 --> 01:45:43,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, but Trump could have told him this a long 1820 01:45:43,280 --> 01:45:45,960 Speaker 2: time ago. I mean, because this is essentially what they 1821 01:45:45,960 --> 01:45:48,040 Speaker 2: wanted to do. Everything that Russia is asking for, they're 1822 01:45:48,040 --> 01:45:51,800 Speaker 2: getting if if Zelensky accepts this deal. Uh, why didn't 1823 01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:54,599 Speaker 2: Why didn't Trump come out earlier? It's because a lot 1824 01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:58,400 Speaker 2: of lives have been lost since you know this, this 1825 01:45:58,400 --> 01:46:01,080 Speaker 2: this battle has started. Why didn't or come earlier and 1826 01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:03,280 Speaker 2: propose this and get it over and you know, move 1827 01:46:03,360 --> 01:46:05,160 Speaker 2: on and let's go to the next phase. 1828 01:46:05,479 --> 01:46:07,400 Speaker 4: Why do the hell back? Why now? 1829 01:46:08,479 --> 01:46:11,120 Speaker 8: I think that you also have to look at the Ukraine, 1830 01:46:11,160 --> 01:46:13,720 Speaker 8: as they have an embassy in Washington. They read the 1831 01:46:13,840 --> 01:46:17,840 Speaker 8: US Press. Anybody who reached the US press knows that 1832 01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:20,479 Speaker 8: sooner rather than later, mister Trump was going to pull 1833 01:46:20,600 --> 01:46:24,120 Speaker 8: the plug on Ukraine. He has said during the campaign 1834 01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:27,439 Speaker 8: that he could settle this conflict within twenty four hours 1835 01:46:27,920 --> 01:46:32,040 Speaker 8: of assuming office. That should have been a signal that 1836 01:46:32,080 --> 01:46:36,160 Speaker 8: he was going to make concessions to the Russians. And 1837 01:46:36,200 --> 01:46:38,000 Speaker 8: in any case, that's what's happening. 1838 01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:43,240 Speaker 2: All right, seventeen after the top of their family. I 1839 01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:45,519 Speaker 2: take a short break here, we come back with doctor Horn. 1840 01:46:45,600 --> 01:46:47,799 Speaker 2: You got a question for doctor on anything on the planet, 1841 01:46:47,800 --> 01:46:49,599 Speaker 2: reach out to us at eight hundred and four five 1842 01:46:49,760 --> 01:46:52,320 Speaker 2: zero seventy eight to seventy six. We'll take your phone 1843 01:46:52,320 --> 01:46:55,439 Speaker 2: calls and Grand Rising family, thanks for starting your week 1844 01:46:55,479 --> 01:46:57,400 Speaker 2: with us. And I guess that twenty one minutes after 1845 01:46:57,400 --> 01:46:59,679 Speaker 2: the top of that happens to be Professor Gerald Horn 1846 01:46:59,720 --> 01:47:02,559 Speaker 2: from the University of Houston, Africana and the African American 1847 01:47:02,840 --> 01:47:05,400 Speaker 2: History professor at the University of Houston. We're going to 1848 01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:08,519 Speaker 2: tackle the various subjects with doctor Horn before the time 1849 01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:10,680 Speaker 2: he's out, but so you can reach him if you 1850 01:47:10,760 --> 01:47:12,800 Speaker 2: got a question that eight hundred four or five zero 1851 01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:16,240 Speaker 2: seventy eight seventy six. Mike is calling from DC's online 1852 01:47:16,280 --> 01:47:19,080 Speaker 2: two the Grand Rising. Mike, your question for doctor Horn. 1853 01:47:20,200 --> 01:47:24,160 Speaker 13: Oh, great Rising, mister Nelson, mister Kevin, and doctor from Houston. 1854 01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:28,000 Speaker 13: You're seven thousand of sacreme. Your so point on, there's 1855 01:47:28,040 --> 01:47:31,400 Speaker 13: no reason Trump when he met with the disagreement and 1856 01:47:31,439 --> 01:47:33,960 Speaker 13: disrespect that happened that the White House won the misty 1857 01:47:34,040 --> 01:47:36,960 Speaker 13: first arrived, he told him he didn't have any cards. 1858 01:47:36,960 --> 01:47:39,880 Speaker 13: He had no cards, and I understand what Trump's trying 1859 01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:42,120 Speaker 13: to do. You don't want any more killing. Russia lost 1860 01:47:42,120 --> 01:47:44,200 Speaker 13: a lot of troops too, They've lost a lot, but 1861 01:47:44,280 --> 01:47:45,760 Speaker 13: like you said, they got a lot of help from 1862 01:47:45,840 --> 01:47:49,880 Speaker 13: Russia and North Korea, and the Clintons made them give 1863 01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:53,000 Speaker 13: up that weapons of mass destruction. Couldn't do anything. And 1864 01:47:53,040 --> 01:47:56,479 Speaker 13: as a guest said, Europe can't help them. Europe doesn't 1865 01:47:56,520 --> 01:47:59,559 Speaker 13: do anything. It's their war, that's NATO is on that side. 1866 01:48:00,240 --> 01:48:03,160 Speaker 13: The Europeans can't do anything to help them. For us 1867 01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:07,519 Speaker 13: to give our weapons, of our weapons and stuff like 1868 01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:13,759 Speaker 13: that to to Ukraine, we would lose the pleasures our stock. Also, 1869 01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:16,439 Speaker 13: as you said, mister Nelson too, it would start World 1870 01:48:16,439 --> 01:48:19,320 Speaker 13: War three. I'm saying so nuclear we're not going to 1871 01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:23,880 Speaker 13: go into that. So technically Russia, they're they're gained a 1872 01:48:23,920 --> 01:48:25,920 Speaker 13: lot of land they lost, they gained a lot of land, 1873 01:48:26,200 --> 01:48:28,840 Speaker 13: and there's no way that Ukraine went. So they just 1874 01:48:28,880 --> 01:48:31,919 Speaker 13: need to go and end it now. And the Valinsky 1875 01:48:32,040 --> 01:48:35,720 Speaker 13: will lose their election because he gave up. He's in 1876 01:48:35,760 --> 01:48:38,800 Speaker 13: a no win situation. So I agree, thank you, all. 1877 01:48:38,760 --> 01:48:39,400 Speaker 4: Right, thanks Mike. 1878 01:48:39,560 --> 01:48:43,479 Speaker 2: But but doctor Horn doesn't this you know who says 1879 01:48:43,520 --> 01:48:47,200 Speaker 2: that that the Putin's going to stop with this. Those 1880 01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:50,559 Speaker 2: portions that he was trying to reclaim from Ukraine, who 1881 01:48:50,560 --> 01:48:52,960 Speaker 2: says he's not in Poland is not on his hit list? 1882 01:48:53,240 --> 01:48:56,680 Speaker 2: How did How can the European you know, committee be 1883 01:48:56,760 --> 01:48:57,240 Speaker 2: happy with this? 1884 01:48:58,280 --> 01:48:58,639 Speaker 10: To stop? 1885 01:49:00,520 --> 01:49:12,080 Speaker 2: Kevin hang up online two for US and Kevin doctor Hart, Kevin, 1886 01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:13,519 Speaker 2: can you hang up online too for US? 1887 01:49:18,160 --> 01:49:20,200 Speaker 8: Okay, can you hear me now? 1888 01:49:22,240 --> 01:49:24,479 Speaker 4: Yes, we can hear you. 1889 01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:28,839 Speaker 8: Let's say that one of the reasons this conflict started 1890 01:49:29,680 --> 01:49:33,160 Speaker 8: was that the United States, when the Soviet Union was collapsing, 1891 01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:37,120 Speaker 8: had made an informal arrangement that there would not be 1892 01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:41,600 Speaker 8: an expansion of NATO closer to Russia's boards. But the 1893 01:49:41,680 --> 01:49:46,200 Speaker 8: United States violated that agreement. Now you have these former 1894 01:49:46,280 --> 01:49:51,560 Speaker 8: Soviet allies, former Moscow allies, now part of NATO, including Romania, 1895 01:49:51,960 --> 01:49:56,400 Speaker 8: including Poland, including Bulgarian and Ukraine. In the sense was 1896 01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:59,240 Speaker 8: the last straw and so I think what happens that 1897 01:49:59,320 --> 01:50:04,320 Speaker 8: the European and NATO, and particularly the United States, they overreached. 1898 01:50:05,200 --> 01:50:08,680 Speaker 8: What needs to also be brought into this conversation is 1899 01:50:08,720 --> 01:50:12,559 Speaker 8: that the United States is threatening Venezuela, as we well know, 1900 01:50:12,800 --> 01:50:18,639 Speaker 8: but Venezuela now is being bolstered militarily by Russia. For example, 1901 01:50:19,040 --> 01:50:24,920 Speaker 8: and that's also a possible potential conflict closer than outvert 1902 01:50:24,960 --> 01:50:25,839 Speaker 8: to US borders. 1903 01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:31,400 Speaker 2: Right, and markman I sent a question about that as 1904 01:50:31,439 --> 01:50:34,439 Speaker 2: he says hello, and he says, US Special Operations Command 1905 01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:38,679 Speaker 2: General Brian Fenton has gone. US Southern Command Admiral Alvin 1906 01:50:38,760 --> 01:50:42,080 Speaker 2: Hoseley is gone. Now flies to Venezuela, being counseled by 1907 01:50:42,080 --> 01:50:45,320 Speaker 2: several major commercial airlines. He says, are they any predictions, 1908 01:50:45,360 --> 01:50:50,040 Speaker 2: because I think that the US is in just Montela, 1909 01:50:50,160 --> 01:50:53,920 Speaker 2: just I guess, days away from attacking Venezuela. He wants 1910 01:50:53,920 --> 01:50:54,719 Speaker 2: to get to your thoughts. 1911 01:50:55,880 --> 01:50:59,640 Speaker 8: Well, that's possible that the United States days away from 1912 01:50:59,680 --> 01:51:03,439 Speaker 8: attack in Venezuela. It's also possible that mister Trump is bluffing, 1913 01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:06,600 Speaker 8: that this is the art of the bluff, that he 1914 01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:10,559 Speaker 8: thought that he sent this journal or forward aircraft, carrier 1915 01:51:10,640 --> 01:51:15,720 Speaker 8: and nuclear submarines closer than ever to Venezuela, that there 1916 01:51:15,760 --> 01:51:19,720 Speaker 8: would be an internal coup against mister Maduro. But that 1917 01:51:19,840 --> 01:51:24,639 Speaker 8: has not happened yet. The Wall Street journalists suggested that 1918 01:51:24,760 --> 01:51:28,360 Speaker 8: the Madua regime is coup proof, that they rely upon 1919 01:51:28,960 --> 01:51:33,360 Speaker 8: Cuban intelligence, and of course Cuban intelligences. They're one of 1920 01:51:33,360 --> 01:51:36,479 Speaker 8: the top intelligence agencies on planet Earth. After all, they've 1921 01:51:36,479 --> 01:51:40,280 Speaker 8: been able to survive, although only being ninety miles from 1922 01:51:40,280 --> 01:51:44,320 Speaker 8: the shores of South Florida. And so mister Trump, who 1923 01:51:44,320 --> 01:51:48,519 Speaker 8: got elected on this premise of so called America First, 1924 01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:53,680 Speaker 8: not getting involved in these disastrous foreign conflicts, may be 1925 01:51:53,840 --> 01:51:57,200 Speaker 8: headed for the mother of all foreign conflicts in Venezuela, 1926 01:51:57,600 --> 01:52:02,120 Speaker 8: which would splinter further his base. Notice the resignation from 1927 01:52:02,200 --> 01:52:06,879 Speaker 8: Congress of Maga loyalists Marjorie Tailor Green. There's an eternal 1928 01:52:07,400 --> 01:52:12,599 Speaker 8: civil war in Maga over the Hitler's Cool faction headed 1929 01:52:12,600 --> 01:52:17,200 Speaker 8: by Nick Paintus and the Zionist faction, which contributed separately 1930 01:52:17,640 --> 01:52:20,920 Speaker 8: to the campaign coffers of mister Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. 1931 01:52:21,200 --> 01:52:24,200 Speaker 8: Not Cleveldge is not going away anytime soon, and it 1932 01:52:24,240 --> 01:52:29,040 Speaker 8: could be worsened if mister Trump heads heathlessly into Venezuela. 1933 01:52:30,120 --> 01:52:32,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll revisit that. At the moment twenty eight after 1934 01:52:32,479 --> 01:52:35,240 Speaker 2: the top of they are in Venezuela. What they said, 1935 01:52:35,360 --> 01:52:38,280 Speaker 2: because these drug boats that they're supposing druggers say they're 1936 01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:41,719 Speaker 2: bombing and blowing them up in the waters near trended 1937 01:52:41,720 --> 01:52:44,920 Speaker 2: out in Tobago. My question to you, though, If these 1938 01:52:44,920 --> 01:52:47,200 Speaker 2: guys are running drugs and they know that the United 1939 01:52:47,240 --> 01:52:50,200 Speaker 2: States dropping bombs, why would they continue? Does it seem 1940 01:52:50,240 --> 01:52:52,479 Speaker 2: to make sense that these guys are smart enough to 1941 01:52:52,520 --> 01:52:54,920 Speaker 2: run drugs but dumb enough to keep running drugs know 1942 01:52:55,000 --> 01:52:59,400 Speaker 2: that the United States bombing. I guess the credibility of 1943 01:52:59,640 --> 01:53:03,160 Speaker 2: whether those ships or boats whatever that were bombed, there 1944 01:53:03,200 --> 01:53:04,920 Speaker 2: was still the drug dealers doing that. 1945 01:53:05,400 --> 01:53:08,120 Speaker 8: Your thoughts, I think the inference you should draw is 1946 01:53:08,160 --> 01:53:11,240 Speaker 8: that they're not running drugs, that they are what they're 1947 01:53:11,280 --> 01:53:15,240 Speaker 8: advertised to be. They're fishermen, And I think that's one 1948 01:53:15,280 --> 01:53:17,800 Speaker 8: of the reasons why there have been press reports that 1949 01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:25,000 Speaker 8: London has suspended intelligence sharing with Washington over these killings, 1950 01:53:25,479 --> 01:53:30,960 Speaker 8: because it would be akin to a DA agent or 1951 01:53:30,960 --> 01:53:35,080 Speaker 8: a police officer coming up to you on the sidewalk 1952 01:53:35,160 --> 01:53:39,759 Speaker 8: of Washington, DC, accusing you of running drugs and instead 1953 01:53:39,800 --> 01:53:42,240 Speaker 8: of arresting you and detaining you, shoot you through the head. 1954 01:53:42,840 --> 01:53:45,479 Speaker 8: If they have evidence that they're running drugs, why don't 1955 01:53:45,479 --> 01:53:48,040 Speaker 8: they arrest them and bring them to court to stand trial. 1956 01:53:49,840 --> 01:53:52,920 Speaker 2: And two of the victims of those attacks with fishermen, 1957 01:53:52,960 --> 01:53:55,160 Speaker 2: as you mentioned, from turned out in Tobago. There's another 1958 01:53:55,200 --> 01:53:57,040 Speaker 2: issue too. I'm not sure if you're aware of this 1959 01:53:57,400 --> 01:54:01,080 Speaker 2: professor down there, because they're attained the fact of letting 1960 01:54:01,080 --> 01:54:04,680 Speaker 2: warships in and around their country because they're right next 1961 01:54:04,720 --> 01:54:09,880 Speaker 2: to Venezuela, and that's caused some issues with that region, 1962 01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:11,880 Speaker 2: with the leaders in that region. And Brazil is now 1963 01:54:11,920 --> 01:54:14,519 Speaker 2: speaking of Brazil is like what are you doing? You know, 1964 01:54:14,600 --> 01:54:18,800 Speaker 2: speaking of trying to reach the leader, female leader of 1965 01:54:18,880 --> 01:54:21,400 Speaker 2: tradad and Tobago, and she had to come out and 1966 01:54:21,439 --> 01:54:23,639 Speaker 2: say she's not aiding in a betting on the strikes 1967 01:54:23,920 --> 01:54:26,640 Speaker 2: that the United States is doing, but she's just accommodating 1968 01:54:26,960 --> 01:54:29,479 Speaker 2: the warships into her part if you will. 1969 01:54:30,080 --> 01:54:31,200 Speaker 4: Have you heard those stories? 1970 01:54:32,440 --> 01:54:35,360 Speaker 8: I have, indeed, and I think that Trinidad and Tobago 1971 01:54:35,440 --> 01:54:40,720 Speaker 8: should be careful because after mister Trump leaves office, Venezuela, 1972 01:54:41,120 --> 01:54:44,720 Speaker 8: a country that is about thirty times five of Turnidad 1973 01:54:44,760 --> 01:54:48,000 Speaker 8: and Tobago, will still be their next door neighbor. And 1974 01:54:48,080 --> 01:54:51,160 Speaker 8: I think one of the reasons why mister Trump has hesitated, 1975 01:54:51,560 --> 01:54:56,000 Speaker 8: apparently in terms of pulling the trigger against Venezuela is 1976 01:54:56,000 --> 01:54:59,960 Speaker 8: that Venezuela is no pushover. As noted, it's the system 1977 01:55:00,120 --> 01:55:02,760 Speaker 8: by the Cubans, this assisted by the Colombians, you still 1978 01:55:02,760 --> 01:55:06,280 Speaker 8: have arm fact factions in Colombia who I'm sure would 1979 01:55:06,360 --> 01:55:11,120 Speaker 8: be quite enthusiastic about confronting Yankees on the battlefield. They 1980 01:55:11,240 --> 01:55:15,440 Speaker 8: are assisted by Iranian oil engineers who are keeping their 1981 01:55:15,560 --> 01:55:20,680 Speaker 8: oil enterprise going. Has noted, Russians have assisted them militarily, 1982 01:55:21,160 --> 01:55:24,560 Speaker 8: China has assisted them financially. And then if you look 1983 01:55:24,920 --> 01:55:29,360 Speaker 8: at South America generally, mister Trump should pay attention to 1984 01:55:29,360 --> 01:55:32,240 Speaker 8: the fact that voters in Ecuador just a few days 1985 01:55:32,240 --> 01:55:37,840 Speaker 8: ago voted to refuse stationing a US basis on their soil. 1986 01:55:38,640 --> 01:55:43,120 Speaker 8: In the elections in neighboring Chile, a communist one more 1987 01:55:43,200 --> 01:55:46,960 Speaker 8: votes than any other candidate, which was quite shocking to Washington. 1988 01:55:47,680 --> 01:55:50,800 Speaker 8: So mister Trump is really skating on ice, not only 1989 01:55:51,120 --> 01:55:54,880 Speaker 8: in the hemisphere, but also the blowback in terms of 1990 01:55:54,920 --> 01:55:55,800 Speaker 8: his MAGA base. 1991 01:55:56,920 --> 01:55:58,640 Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you thirty minutes at the top 1992 01:55:58,640 --> 01:56:00,800 Speaker 2: of that family in Professor Jill with us and we know, 1993 01:56:00,800 --> 01:56:03,000 Speaker 2: as usually we tackle several of tops with doctor Horne. 1994 01:56:03,040 --> 01:56:05,120 Speaker 2: You want to join this discussion, reach out to us 1995 01:56:05,120 --> 01:56:08,520 Speaker 2: at eight hundred four five zero seventy eight seventy six, 1996 01:56:09,120 --> 01:56:11,720 Speaker 2: Doctor Horn. What do you think is the bottom line? 1997 01:56:11,720 --> 01:56:11,880 Speaker 4: Though? 1998 01:56:11,880 --> 01:56:14,800 Speaker 2: Do you think is it there? After Venezuela's oil, or 1999 01:56:14,840 --> 01:56:17,680 Speaker 2: they want regime change or both both. 2000 01:56:17,920 --> 01:56:23,760 Speaker 8: Clearly, mister Trump, of course lust after oil, recalled that 2001 01:56:23,760 --> 01:56:26,680 Speaker 8: that was one of the reasons he was seeking regime 2002 01:56:26,760 --> 01:56:30,200 Speaker 8: change in Syria, which he was able to accomplish putting 2003 01:56:30,240 --> 01:56:34,360 Speaker 8: into office the former leader of al Qaeda in Syria, 2004 01:56:34,800 --> 01:56:37,200 Speaker 8: who of course visited the Oval office just a few 2005 01:56:37,280 --> 01:56:40,760 Speaker 8: days ago, a man who has been implicated in the 2006 01:56:40,880 --> 01:56:44,440 Speaker 8: killing of Christians. At the same time, mister Trump has 2007 01:56:44,520 --> 01:56:47,920 Speaker 8: threatened to go into Nigeria. Gun's a blade thing, he says, 2008 01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:55,120 Speaker 8: because of a supposed anti Christian cruseettes crusade in Nigeria. So, 2009 01:56:55,480 --> 01:56:59,480 Speaker 8: mister Trump, his platform is full of contradictions, just as 2010 01:56:59,480 --> 01:57:00,840 Speaker 8: he is full of bluster. 2011 01:57:01,520 --> 01:57:01,880 Speaker 4: All right. 2012 01:57:01,920 --> 01:57:04,000 Speaker 2: Twenty nine away from the top of Tweeter says that 2013 01:57:04,760 --> 01:57:07,480 Speaker 2: the reason that the United States won't arrest the so 2014 01:57:07,680 --> 01:57:10,400 Speaker 2: called A drug runners in the boats is because it's 2015 01:57:10,440 --> 01:57:13,520 Speaker 2: in international waters and they have no jurisdiction there, and 2016 01:57:13,560 --> 01:57:15,800 Speaker 2: that's why they just blow them up so they don't 2017 01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:18,840 Speaker 2: have to prove anything as far as evidence. Your thoughts not. 2018 01:57:20,000 --> 01:57:24,200 Speaker 8: Well, that sounds like murder incorporated to me. I mean, 2019 01:57:24,720 --> 01:57:28,560 Speaker 8: why don't they cooperate with neighboring countries in terms of 2020 01:57:28,640 --> 01:57:33,240 Speaker 8: detaining these alleged drug runners. Why don't they cooperate with 2021 01:57:33,360 --> 01:57:37,640 Speaker 8: the Trinidaddy in terms of detaining these alleged drug runners. 2022 01:57:37,960 --> 01:57:41,200 Speaker 8: I think it's clear that mister Trump feels that he 2023 01:57:41,280 --> 01:57:46,080 Speaker 8: can help his oily cronies in Texas, in particular by 2024 01:57:46,120 --> 01:57:50,800 Speaker 8: getting his grubby little paws on Venezuela petroleum. But I 2025 01:57:51,120 --> 01:57:53,920 Speaker 8: dare say that this enterprise is going to blow up 2026 01:57:53,920 --> 01:57:54,600 Speaker 8: in his face. 2027 01:57:55,640 --> 01:57:57,560 Speaker 2: I speaking about that. That's interesting that you mentioned. I'm 2028 01:57:57,560 --> 01:57:59,080 Speaker 2: glad you mentioned that twenty eight away from the Tom 2029 01:57:59,280 --> 01:58:02,760 Speaker 2: because I'm at a conversation with him about this, and 2030 01:58:02,800 --> 01:58:06,120 Speaker 2: he says the kind of petroleum that the venue sale 2031 01:58:06,240 --> 01:58:08,760 Speaker 2: has that Trump's trying to get his hands on. The 2032 01:58:08,760 --> 01:58:13,840 Speaker 2: only person that can really not manufactured or I guess 2033 01:58:13,920 --> 01:58:17,240 Speaker 2: distilla or whatever they do once they snatch it was 2034 01:58:17,280 --> 01:58:19,240 Speaker 2: a company owned by the Koch brothers. I'm just wondering 2035 01:58:19,240 --> 01:58:21,160 Speaker 2: if you've heard that information. 2036 01:58:22,640 --> 01:58:25,600 Speaker 8: I'm not familiar with that particular angle, but it wouldn't 2037 01:58:25,600 --> 01:58:30,800 Speaker 8: surprise me if that is the case. Recalled that Venezuela 2038 01:58:30,840 --> 01:58:34,440 Speaker 8: has come into conflict with US oil executives. They detained 2039 01:58:34,560 --> 01:58:38,000 Speaker 8: a number of them over the years, which is of 2040 01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:43,200 Speaker 8: course upset these oil executives tremendously. But once again, I 2041 01:58:43,240 --> 01:58:47,240 Speaker 8: think mister Trump is really skating on thin ice. You 2042 01:58:47,360 --> 01:58:51,000 Speaker 8: see that many countries are unwilling to cooperate with the 2043 01:58:51,120 --> 01:58:53,440 Speaker 8: United States. You saw that at the Group of twenty 2044 01:58:53,480 --> 01:58:59,760 Speaker 8: meeting in Johannesburg this past weekend, for example, where business 2045 01:58:59,760 --> 01:59:02,600 Speaker 8: went on despite the fact that the United States boycotted, 2046 01:59:03,560 --> 01:59:06,240 Speaker 8: despite the fact that the United States continued to insult 2047 01:59:06,640 --> 01:59:11,320 Speaker 8: this leading African country. And so I trust and I 2048 01:59:11,360 --> 01:59:14,280 Speaker 8: hope that people in the United States are paying attention 2049 01:59:15,040 --> 01:59:18,600 Speaker 8: to how increasingly the United States is becoming isolated because 2050 01:59:18,640 --> 01:59:20,600 Speaker 8: of the bumbling of mister Trump. 2051 01:59:22,440 --> 01:59:24,760 Speaker 2: Twenty seven away from the Top day Money Mind's checking 2052 01:59:24,760 --> 01:59:27,360 Speaker 2: in from Baltimore is online three grant rise your money Mind, 2053 01:59:27,360 --> 01:59:28,640 Speaker 2: your question for doctor Horn. 2054 01:59:30,040 --> 01:59:35,640 Speaker 12: Good morning, Carl, Good morning, Doctor Horn. Good morning, Okay, 2055 01:59:36,000 --> 01:59:39,960 Speaker 12: doctor Horn. First, why would the United States be so 2056 01:59:40,160 --> 01:59:46,560 Speaker 12: stupid as to think that mister Putin would allow Ukraine 2057 01:59:47,120 --> 01:59:51,920 Speaker 12: to join NATO from the Rye beginning, That's the first thing. Second, 2058 01:59:52,240 --> 01:59:56,600 Speaker 12: why are they so insistent upon sanctions on any country? Then, 2059 01:59:56,640 --> 02:00:01,839 Speaker 12: as where Russia China, why do they impose the sanctus 2060 02:00:02,000 --> 02:00:05,200 Speaker 12: be willingly in the first place. And third, when you 2061 02:00:05,240 --> 02:00:08,600 Speaker 12: talk about the nations not being aligned with the USA, 2062 02:00:08,640 --> 02:00:11,600 Speaker 12: is that maybe because of the brick nations that they 2063 02:00:11,640 --> 02:00:14,160 Speaker 12: feel that they got accuse whether they're going to be 2064 02:00:14,200 --> 02:00:16,400 Speaker 12: on the US side or they're going to be on 2065 02:00:16,520 --> 02:00:17,320 Speaker 12: China side. 2066 02:00:18,600 --> 02:00:21,959 Speaker 7: But I'll take you away from there if. 2067 02:00:22,240 --> 02:00:26,480 Speaker 8: You go by the Climate Chaine summit in Brazil, which 2068 02:00:26,600 --> 02:00:29,600 Speaker 8: just concluded a day or two ago. Increasingly they're on 2069 02:00:29,680 --> 02:00:33,200 Speaker 8: China side. I mean, China's the leader globally in terms 2070 02:00:33,240 --> 02:00:36,360 Speaker 8: of green energy. You might have heard the story from 2071 02:00:36,400 --> 02:00:42,480 Speaker 8: Jamaica and the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa that houses that 2072 02:00:42,640 --> 02:00:46,920 Speaker 8: had solar panels, where China plays the predominant role, their 2073 02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:52,520 Speaker 8: electricity was up and running almost shortly after the rain stopped, 2074 02:00:53,000 --> 02:00:56,720 Speaker 8: and their neighbors were coming to these homes to recharge 2075 02:00:56,760 --> 02:01:01,600 Speaker 8: their phones and all the rest. And so Trump, in contrast, 2076 02:01:01,760 --> 02:01:05,520 Speaker 8: is trying to rely upon fossil fuels and energy of 2077 02:01:05,600 --> 02:01:08,800 Speaker 8: the nineteenth century in order to propel the United States 2078 02:01:08,800 --> 02:01:12,120 Speaker 8: into the twenty first century, and that simply will not work. 2079 02:01:13,720 --> 02:01:15,640 Speaker 2: Twenty five away from the top of our brother college 2080 02:01:15,680 --> 02:01:18,600 Speaker 2: is also joined us.

And this is 2092 02:02:25,440 --> 02:02:30,320 Speaker 15: the reason why Trump does not want to release the 2093 02:02:30,440 --> 02:02:34,400 Speaker 15: files and including the CIA m I six and the 2094 02:02:34,520 --> 02:02:40,560 Speaker 15: masade involved in that black Well Black Male network.

I'm not sure 2128 02:04:16,560 --> 02:04:20,520 Speaker 8: of what faith traditions she chose to pursue with regard 2129 02:04:20,560 --> 02:04:23,680 Speaker 8: to Epstein victims voting for mister Trump. At the press 2130 02:04:23,680 --> 02:04:27,640 Speaker 8: conference in Washington last week in the run up to 2131 02:04:27,760 --> 02:04:31,520 Speaker 8: the vote on releasing those files, at least one of 2132 02:04:31,560 --> 02:04:35,160 Speaker 8: the victims says that she voted for mister Trump. With 2133 02:04:35,360 --> 02:04:40,080 Speaker 8: regard to mister Epstein and blackmail, it's apparent that he 2134 02:04:40,120 --> 02:04:43,280 Speaker 8: had a very close relationship with former Israeli Prime Minister 2135 02:04:43,360 --> 02:04:48,919 Speaker 8: Ahu Baraq, that Israeli Mosad agents were known to crash 2136 02:04:49,080 --> 02:04:53,760 Speaker 8: at his fashionable Upper East Side of Manhattan townhouse, and 2137 02:04:54,560 --> 02:05:00,760 Speaker 8: the Israelis also have a rather significant intelligence gathering force. 2138 02:05:00,960 --> 02:05:05,400 Speaker 8: You might have heard the story from London when Benjamin Nettanna, 2139 02:05:05,480 --> 02:05:08,839 Speaker 8: who visited number ten Downing Street, which is the resident 2140 02:05:08,960 --> 02:05:12,640 Speaker 8: of the Prime Minister, that he asked to use the bathroom, 2141 02:05:13,280 --> 02:05:18,160 Speaker 8: and then after the exoded, security found a bug a 2142 02:05:18,200 --> 02:05:24,160 Speaker 8: listening device in the toilet, for example. So these stories 2143 02:05:24,200 --> 02:05:26,920 Speaker 8: continue to pile up, and one story that hasn't gotten 2144 02:05:26,920 --> 02:05:31,200 Speaker 8: to sufficient publicity is that former Clinton Secretary of the Treasury, 2145 02:05:31,240 --> 02:05:36,240 Speaker 8: Lawrence Thummer's former president of Harvard University, he was consulting 2146 02:05:36,280 --> 02:05:42,400 Speaker 8: with mister Epstein and trying to seduce a self described mintee, 2147 02:05:42,400 --> 02:05:45,760 Speaker 8: that is to say, a protege of his. And what's 2148 02:05:45,800 --> 02:05:48,720 Speaker 8: interesting is that this protegee of was also the daughter 2149 02:05:48,840 --> 02:05:51,800 Speaker 8: of a high ranking leader of the Chinese Communist Party. 2150 02:05:52,720 --> 02:05:55,240 Speaker 8: And so a lot of secrets have yet to be 2151 02:05:56,320 --> 02:05:59,880 Speaker 8: exposed and uncovered, although I hope that they will be 2152 02:06:00,160 --> 02:06:01,560 Speaker 8: exposed and uncovered. 2153 02:06:02,800 --> 02:06:06,240 Speaker 2: Also means that Julaane's Maxwell's dad, Jordan Maxwell, died under 2154 02:06:06,280 --> 02:06:08,400 Speaker 2: some suspicious circumstances as well. 2155 02:06:10,120 --> 02:06:14,760 Speaker 8: He certainly did, as I recall, mister Maxwell, he somehow 2156 02:06:14,800 --> 02:06:18,000 Speaker 8: fell off his yacht. If I'm not mistaken. 2157 02:06:18,760 --> 02:06:22,680 Speaker 2: Right, you got named the Jelaine named after his daughter. Interesting, 2158 02:06:23,360 --> 02:06:26,200 Speaker 2: this is really deep what's going on with the Epstein fires. 2159 02:06:26,480 --> 02:06:30,760 Speaker 2: But I think that I last call it from waldof 2160 02:06:30,960 --> 02:06:34,760 Speaker 2: Brother causes onto something. But Professor Horn, let's talk about 2161 02:06:34,960 --> 02:06:36,880 Speaker 2: the fact that we talked about the United States thinking 2162 02:06:36,920 --> 02:06:41,160 Speaker 2: about invading uh Venezuela also talking about invading Nigeria, and 2163 02:06:41,280 --> 02:06:44,120 Speaker 2: Nicki Minaj seems to have got into this. Your thoughts 2164 02:06:44,160 --> 02:06:47,280 Speaker 2: on all this, this you know, threat to invade Nigeria. 2165 02:06:48,360 --> 02:06:51,680 Speaker 8: Well, I was very disappointed with Nicki Minaj when she 2166 02:06:51,800 --> 02:06:56,560 Speaker 8: showed up at the US Office at the United Nations 2167 02:06:56,640 --> 02:07:01,960 Speaker 8: with the US Ambassador endorsing miss to Trump's inflame rhetoric 2168 02:07:02,200 --> 02:07:08,840 Speaker 8: about invading Nigeria because of an alleged anti Christian genocide. Now, 2169 02:07:08,880 --> 02:07:12,080 Speaker 8: what was curious about that is that Number one, she 2170 02:07:12,160 --> 02:07:16,160 Speaker 8: has roots in Trinidad and Tobago, which has been a 2171 02:07:16,280 --> 02:07:20,959 Speaker 8: major source for Pan Africanism and solidarity across the Atlantic 2172 02:07:21,360 --> 02:07:26,320 Speaker 8: between amongst Africans. Recall the former comrade of the late 2173 02:07:27,920 --> 02:07:30,920 Speaker 8: Man We Knew is Hrap Brown. I'm speaking of the 2174 02:07:30,960 --> 02:07:34,360 Speaker 8: man we once knew, the stokely Carmichael, Recall c l R. 2175 02:07:34,520 --> 02:07:38,760 Speaker 8: James Eric Williams. The list is long, and so for 2176 02:07:38,840 --> 02:07:46,040 Speaker 8: her to participate in that spectacle in Manhattan was really outrageous, 2177 02:07:46,320 --> 02:07:48,640 Speaker 8: not to mention the fact that I'm really concerned about 2178 02:07:48,640 --> 02:07:52,240 Speaker 8: the downside consequence in the neighborhood. That is to say, 2179 02:07:52,720 --> 02:07:58,880 Speaker 8: there are substantial tensions historically, at least between those of 2180 02:07:58,920 --> 02:08:02,200 Speaker 8: South Asian descent African descent and Turnidad and Tobago and 2181 02:08:02,240 --> 02:08:06,120 Speaker 8: Guyana in particular. Many of those of South Asian descent 2182 02:08:06,200 --> 02:08:10,240 Speaker 8: are Muslim, and her comments is they're not going to 2183 02:08:10,320 --> 02:08:15,160 Speaker 8: help that particular crisis. And if she's really concerned about 2184 02:08:16,240 --> 02:08:21,400 Speaker 8: a supposed attack and persecution of Christians, well she should 2185 02:08:21,680 --> 02:08:24,800 Speaker 8: ask mister Trump about that, because mister Trump is noted 2186 02:08:25,080 --> 02:08:27,520 Speaker 8: he had in the oval office former leader of al 2187 02:08:27,600 --> 02:08:30,920 Speaker 8: Kaina in Syria, now a so called head of state 2188 02:08:31,000 --> 02:08:35,560 Speaker 8: speaking of Man we now call mister al Sharraf, and 2189 02:08:35,880 --> 02:08:39,880 Speaker 8: this will probably not help Nicki Minaja's. 2190 02:08:39,440 --> 02:08:42,600 Speaker 4: Career thirteen away from the top. 2191 02:08:42,840 --> 02:08:44,760 Speaker 2: You know what's interesting what you just mentioned about the 2192 02:08:45,440 --> 02:08:48,520 Speaker 2: dynamics between the Indians and the Africans. They should put 2193 02:08:48,560 --> 02:08:50,720 Speaker 2: it that way, so folks that will just understand square 2194 02:08:50,760 --> 02:08:53,400 Speaker 2: we'll we're talking about entering down Tobago and in Guyana. 2195 02:08:53,520 --> 02:08:56,600 Speaker 2: The late doctor Reno Karashidi traveled to both those countries 2196 02:08:56,640 --> 02:08:59,280 Speaker 2: quite a bit and would report on the conflicts there. 2197 02:08:59,320 --> 02:09:01,960 Speaker 2: You know, people think that is so one sided. And 2198 02:09:01,960 --> 02:09:04,440 Speaker 2: one of the things he told us is that even 2199 02:09:04,480 --> 02:09:07,560 Speaker 2: politically one political party is dominated by the Indians and 2200 02:09:07,560 --> 02:09:12,400 Speaker 2: one dominated by Africans, and this ongoing conflict between the 2201 02:09:12,640 --> 02:09:16,560 Speaker 2: racial groups and those in between. And he also gave 2202 02:09:16,600 --> 02:09:18,920 Speaker 2: me the name of because there's a lot of inner 2203 02:09:18,920 --> 02:09:22,040 Speaker 2: marriage there the do glass. Have you heard of any 2204 02:09:22,160 --> 02:09:24,640 Speaker 2: the conflict between like that in any of those two countries. 2205 02:09:24,680 --> 02:09:26,240 Speaker 2: That's one of the reason why I missed the doctor 2206 02:09:26,400 --> 02:09:30,640 Speaker 2: Reno Kuroshii, Doctor Hornet. Have you heard any conflict still 2207 02:09:30,640 --> 02:09:33,480 Speaker 2: going on between the two groups in Guyana and in 2208 02:09:33,800 --> 02:09:34,760 Speaker 2: Trinidad and Tobago. 2209 02:09:35,760 --> 02:09:39,400 Speaker 8: Well you can trace it actually precisely back in nineteen 2210 02:09:39,440 --> 02:09:44,320 Speaker 8: fifty three when Cheddi Jagen, who was of South Asian descent, 2211 02:09:45,040 --> 02:09:48,760 Speaker 8: led a breakaway from the British Empire. And that's a 2212 02:09:48,800 --> 02:09:52,680 Speaker 8: result the United States intentionally and consciously tried to stir 2213 02:09:52,880 --> 02:09:58,520 Speaker 8: up anti Asian sentiment meant amongst the black population, which 2214 02:09:58,600 --> 02:10:01,520 Speaker 8: led to the rise of four Burnham, a man of 2215 02:10:01,560 --> 02:10:05,560 Speaker 8: African descent who I'm afraid to say what was quite 2216 02:10:05,560 --> 02:10:09,600 Speaker 8: corrupt and that obviously led to a backlash. But since 2217 02:10:09,880 --> 02:10:12,680 Speaker 8: we're in the Caribbean, I shouldn't mention a story that 2218 02:10:12,800 --> 02:10:15,800 Speaker 8: has not received sufficient attention at although I'm sure it'll 2219 02:10:15,840 --> 02:10:20,240 Speaker 8: be discussed on this program. Just arrested in the United 2220 02:10:20,280 --> 02:10:26,000 Speaker 8: States were a number of Texans planned to invade Gunai, 2221 02:10:26,520 --> 02:10:29,520 Speaker 8: which is part of hating and believe it or not, 2222 02:10:29,760 --> 02:10:33,520 Speaker 8: their plan was to execute all the men there and 2223 02:10:33,600 --> 02:10:37,440 Speaker 8: then turn the women and children into slings. This is 2224 02:10:37,560 --> 02:10:41,520 Speaker 8: quite startling, It's quite shocking, and I think that it 2225 02:10:41,520 --> 02:10:45,320 Speaker 8: should also be a warning to many black Americans about 2226 02:10:45,360 --> 02:10:49,320 Speaker 8: what time it is that you have such plots being 2227 02:10:49,440 --> 02:10:53,680 Speaker 8: concocted with the idea of returning to slavery. 2228 02:10:55,720 --> 02:10:55,920 Speaker 4: Wow. 2229 02:10:55,960 --> 02:10:58,640 Speaker 2: I saw that story this morning. An interesting you know, 2230 02:10:58,800 --> 02:11:02,360 Speaker 2: and start guys here, I think from Texas where they 2231 02:11:02,360 --> 02:11:05,760 Speaker 2: are doctor Horne, that they came up with for sure, 2232 02:11:06,200 --> 02:11:09,040 Speaker 2: North Texas, Okay, and we come over to this idea 2233 02:11:09,120 --> 02:11:11,800 Speaker 2: start slavery all over again in Haiti. And you wonder 2234 02:11:11,800 --> 02:11:14,560 Speaker 2: why there's so much chaos right now in Haiti. So 2235 02:11:14,800 --> 02:11:18,360 Speaker 2: you know, they will benefit from being from everything the 2236 02:11:18,440 --> 02:11:20,920 Speaker 2: chaos has taken place to instability in Haiti. 2237 02:11:22,960 --> 02:11:26,760 Speaker 8: Well, certainly that was the plan, and as you say, correctly, 2238 02:11:26,880 --> 02:11:28,960 Speaker 8: it gives an idea of why there's so much chaos 2239 02:11:28,960 --> 02:11:33,200 Speaker 8: in Haiti. In fact, in the nineteenth century, Haiti had 2240 02:11:33,240 --> 02:11:37,240 Speaker 8: to be on guard perpetually against this notion of re 2241 02:11:37,400 --> 02:11:41,200 Speaker 8: enslavement and as a result, had to spend a lot 2242 02:11:41,200 --> 02:11:44,240 Speaker 8: of its treasury on the military and on the defense. 2243 02:11:44,920 --> 02:11:48,280 Speaker 8: And that, along with having to pay a kind of 2244 02:11:48,320 --> 02:11:52,600 Speaker 8: reparations to their former slave masters in France, helped to 2245 02:11:52,640 --> 02:11:57,080 Speaker 8: deform the Haitian economy and Haitians is still paying the 2246 02:11:57,120 --> 02:11:58,600 Speaker 8: price for that to this very day. 2247 02:12:00,120 --> 02:12:01,880 Speaker 2: Not away from topic, I got a tweet tweet that 2248 02:12:01,880 --> 02:12:04,720 Speaker 2: says that Nicki Minaja's brother got twenty five years for rape. 2249 02:12:04,760 --> 02:12:07,480 Speaker 2: Maybe she's trying to get him aparton from Donald Trump. 2250 02:12:07,600 --> 02:12:09,960 Speaker 2: If you heard, that's why she's getting well. 2251 02:12:09,960 --> 02:12:12,800 Speaker 8: I understand that there are people close to her that 2252 02:12:12,920 --> 02:12:15,920 Speaker 8: are looking for favors from mister Trump. And so you know, 2253 02:12:16,080 --> 02:12:19,600 Speaker 8: mister Trump, he is for sale. There's a big for 2254 02:12:19,720 --> 02:12:22,480 Speaker 8: sale line on the front door of the White House, 2255 02:12:22,480 --> 02:12:26,200 Speaker 8: and if there's not, there should be. However, I think 2256 02:12:26,320 --> 02:12:30,080 Speaker 8: that the downside risk of her career may out weigh 2257 02:12:30,680 --> 02:12:33,839 Speaker 8: whatever benefits she can glean from mister Trump. 2258 02:12:38,040 --> 02:12:39,400 Speaker 2: All right, man, it's away from the top of the 2259 02:12:39,880 --> 02:12:43,520 Speaker 2: question about ask doctor Horn, how acurate does he believe 2260 02:12:43,520 --> 02:12:47,800 Speaker 2: the new PBS Ken Burns American Revolution documentary is? And 2261 02:12:47,840 --> 02:12:50,400 Speaker 2: I'm wondering, is that the same series on this seventeen 2262 02:12:50,480 --> 02:12:52,640 Speaker 2: seventy six series the PBS she's doing. 2263 02:12:53,840 --> 02:12:57,320 Speaker 8: I've been very critical of that series because one of 2264 02:12:57,360 --> 02:13:00,960 Speaker 8: the reasons we study history is so we can gain 2265 02:13:01,080 --> 02:13:06,760 Speaker 8: insight into the project. And you can watch that series 2266 02:13:06,800 --> 02:13:09,960 Speaker 8: because the cows come home. I'm not sure what you'll 2267 02:13:10,040 --> 02:13:13,640 Speaker 8: learn about the riots of Trump and Trumpism. That is 2268 02:13:13,680 --> 02:13:16,920 Speaker 8: to say, if seventeen seventy six was still grand, how 2269 02:13:16,920 --> 02:13:20,000 Speaker 8: do we end up with Trump? If seventeen seventy six 2270 02:13:20,120 --> 02:13:23,480 Speaker 8: was still grand, why would there thousands of enclayed Africans 2271 02:13:23,520 --> 02:13:26,800 Speaker 8: in seventeen seventy six and millions on the eve of 2272 02:13:26,840 --> 02:13:30,240 Speaker 8: the US Civil War? And in any case, why are 2273 02:13:30,280 --> 02:13:35,360 Speaker 8: they just focusing on this revolt on the Atlantic seaboard 2274 02:13:35,560 --> 02:13:38,800 Speaker 8: roughly from Boston to Savannah when we all know that 2275 02:13:38,840 --> 02:13:42,840 Speaker 8: eventually the United States stretched through the Pacific and too Hawaii, 2276 02:13:43,280 --> 02:13:48,640 Speaker 8: ousting indigenous nations, liquidating them, perpetuating genocide. And supposedly we're 2277 02:13:48,640 --> 02:13:51,080 Speaker 8: supposed to see this as a great belief forward for humanity. 2278 02:13:51,640 --> 02:13:54,800 Speaker 8: No wonder we have such cynicism in this country. 2279 02:13:56,360 --> 02:13:59,080 Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about Donald Trump and it's meeting rerecent 2280 02:13:59,120 --> 02:14:01,400 Speaker 2: meeting with Monde who. 2281 02:14:01,240 --> 02:14:07,520 Speaker 8: Won well in the since Mundani won because you saw 2282 02:14:07,560 --> 02:14:10,240 Speaker 8: what happened to Zelenski when he wandered into the Oval office. 2283 02:14:10,280 --> 02:14:12,280 Speaker 8: You saw what happened to the President of South Africa, 2284 02:14:12,360 --> 02:14:15,320 Speaker 8: still a rom oppose them when he was ambushed in 2285 02:14:15,360 --> 02:14:20,480 Speaker 8: the Oval office. Instead, you saw mister Trump intervening when 2286 02:14:21,280 --> 02:14:24,200 Speaker 8: mister Mundani was asked that he still considered mister Trump 2287 02:14:24,200 --> 02:14:26,880 Speaker 8: to be a fascist, although on the Sunday talk shows 2288 02:14:26,920 --> 02:14:30,760 Speaker 8: yesterday Mumdani confirmed that yes, he still continues to see 2289 02:14:30,920 --> 02:14:34,200 Speaker 8: mister Trump as a fascist, which I think is an 2290 02:14:34,240 --> 02:14:38,480 Speaker 8: accurate assessment. And so it seemed for whatever reason, mister 2291 02:14:38,480 --> 02:14:42,320 Speaker 8: Trump was making the concessions and mister Mumdani was willing 2292 02:14:42,400 --> 02:14:45,400 Speaker 8: to accept the concessions. It may have something to do 2293 02:14:45,480 --> 02:14:49,920 Speaker 8: with the fraying magabates which bids there to turn mister 2294 02:14:49,960 --> 02:14:52,000 Speaker 8: Trump into a lane duck prematurely. 2295 02:14:53,600 --> 02:14:55,960 Speaker 2: Did you think it has any because they need federal 2296 02:14:55,960 --> 02:14:58,920 Speaker 2: fund seasons. There's a lot of uncompleted business in New 2297 02:14:59,000 --> 02:15:02,040 Speaker 2: York City itself. I think there's the bridge and the 2298 02:15:02,040 --> 02:15:05,720 Speaker 2: tunnels that connect Manhattan to Jersey and they're holding up 2299 02:15:05,720 --> 02:15:07,720 Speaker 2: the funds. Do you think that that's part of the 2300 02:15:07,760 --> 02:15:10,720 Speaker 2: reason why Mandannie went to you know to Donald Trump 2301 02:15:10,760 --> 02:15:13,000 Speaker 2: and don Tevsky's pointing out that he asked for them, 2302 02:15:13,000 --> 02:15:14,600 Speaker 2: that man Donnie asked for the meeting. 2303 02:15:16,080 --> 02:15:17,839 Speaker 8: Well, I think there are a number of visues. There's 2304 02:15:18,040 --> 02:15:23,240 Speaker 8: the fear that mister Trump will send National Guard personnel 2305 02:15:23,600 --> 02:15:25,600 Speaker 8: into the streets of New York City like he's done 2306 02:15:25,600 --> 02:15:30,800 Speaker 8: in Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, d C. Charlotte, North Carolina. 2307 02:15:31,160 --> 02:15:34,840 Speaker 8: New Orleans is next on the list. And speaking of that, 2308 02:15:35,240 --> 02:15:38,600 Speaker 8: we should not let another second pass without mentioning that 2309 02:15:38,640 --> 02:15:43,200 Speaker 8: the mayor of Chicago, Mayor Johnson, has suggested that the 2310 02:15:43,320 --> 02:15:47,080 Speaker 8: United Nations should investigate the United States for human rights violations. 2311 02:15:47,240 --> 02:15:50,320 Speaker 8: What we need now is for the mayor of these 2312 02:15:50,360 --> 02:15:55,200 Speaker 8: aforementioned cities, particularly Los Angeles and particularly I would say 2313 02:15:55,280 --> 02:16:01,360 Speaker 8: Charlotte and New Orleans as well, to endorse Mayor Johnson's 2314 02:16:01,360 --> 02:16:04,839 Speaker 8: bold initiative. And then we need the African American Mayor's 2315 02:16:04,960 --> 02:16:09,680 Speaker 8: Association to do the same because this could be potentially significant, 2316 02:16:09,840 --> 02:16:14,040 Speaker 8: because we obviously need to reconnect with our brothers and 2317 02:16:14,080 --> 02:16:17,280 Speaker 8: sisters across the planet in order to beat back the 2318 02:16:17,320 --> 02:16:18,000 Speaker 8: Trump attack. 2319 02:16:19,080 --> 02:16:21,440 Speaker 2: I'm glad you went there because I think it was 2320 02:16:21,480 --> 02:16:24,520 Speaker 2: this morning we discussed it. Kevin We talked about the 2321 02:16:24,520 --> 02:16:26,400 Speaker 2: fact that the Blue States and the Red States and 2322 02:16:26,440 --> 02:16:30,240 Speaker 2: the California's economy is the fourth largest and the entire world. 2323 02:16:30,600 --> 02:16:34,080 Speaker 2: What would happen Or is the possibility, doctor Horne, that 2324 02:16:34,160 --> 02:16:36,920 Speaker 2: the states like California, New York, Illinois just hold back 2325 02:16:36,959 --> 02:16:39,000 Speaker 2: the money instead of sending it to the to the 2326 02:16:39,040 --> 02:16:42,200 Speaker 2: federal treasury and they keep the money themselves and govern 2327 02:16:42,280 --> 02:16:46,080 Speaker 2: their territories. Is that a possibility or is that too 2328 02:16:46,120 --> 02:16:49,119 Speaker 2: far Fastings? They're being punished on the other side by 2329 02:16:49,160 --> 02:16:49,760 Speaker 2: Donald Trump. 2330 02:16:51,360 --> 02:16:55,600 Speaker 8: It's possible, but I don't think it's likely. I think 2331 02:16:55,959 --> 02:16:59,400 Speaker 8: what these Blue states are banking on is making a 2332 02:16:59,480 --> 02:17:03,199 Speaker 8: comeback in November twenty twenty six, and as of now, 2333 02:17:03,760 --> 02:17:05,879 Speaker 8: it looks like they will particularly to give them the 2334 02:17:05,879 --> 02:17:11,280 Speaker 8: result in November twenty twenty five when the Republicans lost 2335 02:17:11,280 --> 02:17:16,480 Speaker 8: the golubinatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia lost the 2336 02:17:16,520 --> 02:17:21,240 Speaker 8: congressional redistricting battle in the state of California. So I 2337 02:17:21,280 --> 02:17:24,560 Speaker 8: think that they're banking on reclaiming power in the House 2338 02:17:25,320 --> 02:17:32,119 Speaker 8: and then blockading mister Trump's initiatives, perhaps launching a number 2339 02:17:32,160 --> 02:17:35,359 Speaker 8: of investigations and mister Trump and all of his corruption 2340 02:17:36,080 --> 02:17:38,720 Speaker 8: and it happens so frequently it's hard to keep track of. 2341 02:17:40,240 --> 02:17:42,400 Speaker 2: And again I have to responded shore we get back 2342 02:17:42,400 --> 02:17:45,360 Speaker 2: because we got to take a short break. But Todd Horn, 2343 02:17:45,360 --> 02:17:46,960 Speaker 2: do you think that you really think that Donald Trump 2344 02:17:47,080 --> 02:17:49,160 Speaker 2: is going to leave office when his term is up? 2345 02:17:49,200 --> 02:17:50,640 Speaker 2: And I'll let you respond when we get back. We 2346 02:17:50,720 --> 02:17:52,400 Speaker 2: got to stake the break, as I mentioned, so our 2347 02:17:52,400 --> 02:17:55,160 Speaker 2: stations can identify themselves down the line. Family, thanks for 2348 02:17:55,240 --> 02:17:57,160 Speaker 2: rolling with us on this Monday morning. Thanks for starting 2349 02:17:57,160 --> 02:17:59,119 Speaker 2: your week with us. You got a question for our guess, 2350 02:17:59,120 --> 02:18:01,240 Speaker 2: the doctor Jerald Horne from the University of Houston. Reach 2351 02:18:01,280 --> 02:18:03,920 Speaker 2: out to us at eight hundred four five zero seventy 2352 02:18:03,959 --> 02:18:06,360 Speaker 2: eight seventy six and we'll take a phone calls next 2353 02:18:07,120 --> 02:18:09,760 Speaker 2: and Grand Rising family, thanks for starting your week with us. 2354 02:18:09,760 --> 02:18:12,160 Speaker 2: I guess is doctor Gerald Horne from the University of Houston. 2355 02:18:12,200 --> 02:18:15,360 Speaker 2: He's an African American and African history professor at the 2356 02:18:15,480 --> 02:18:17,760 Speaker 2: University of Houston. Before we left though the question, and 2357 02:18:17,760 --> 02:18:20,240 Speaker 2: he's also an attorney. I should always mention that because 2358 02:18:20,560 --> 02:18:22,680 Speaker 2: before we left to asking the prospects of Donald Trump 2359 02:18:22,720 --> 02:18:26,040 Speaker 2: refusing to leave office going with some idea that requires 2360 02:18:26,080 --> 02:18:29,480 Speaker 2: martial law and legally if he can do that. So 2361 02:18:29,480 --> 02:18:31,920 Speaker 2: that's my question for you, doctor Horne. 2362 02:18:33,200 --> 02:18:36,000 Speaker 8: Well, legally can he do it? That's sadly an open 2363 02:18:36,080 --> 02:18:39,720 Speaker 8: question after the Supreme Court decision last year which basically 2364 02:18:39,760 --> 02:18:43,320 Speaker 8: gave him cart lunch to commit crimes if he can 2365 02:18:43,720 --> 02:18:46,440 Speaker 8: somehow spend it as being part of his official duties. 2366 02:18:47,040 --> 02:18:50,480 Speaker 8: In the current issue of the British weekly of The Economist, 2367 02:18:51,000 --> 02:18:54,560 Speaker 8: there's an article by Harvard law professor Jack Goldsmith and 2368 02:18:54,640 --> 02:18:59,480 Speaker 8: former Obama administration lawyer Bob Bauer which raises precisely the 2369 02:18:59,560 --> 02:19:03,240 Speaker 8: prosper act of mister Trump seeking to disrupt the November 2370 02:19:03,240 --> 02:19:07,320 Speaker 8: twenty twenty sixth election because of the fear that the 2371 02:19:07,360 --> 02:19:13,600 Speaker 8: GOP will lose impounding ballot boxes. For example, he had 2372 02:19:13,600 --> 02:19:16,240 Speaker 8: to get re elected in twenty twenty four in order 2373 02:19:16,360 --> 02:19:20,280 Speaker 8: to avoid prison. He may decide to try to stay 2374 02:19:20,320 --> 02:19:24,119 Speaker 8: on after November twenty twenty eight for the same reason. 2375 02:19:24,760 --> 02:19:28,040 Speaker 8: And once again it brings me back to that Ken 2376 02:19:28,120 --> 02:19:33,360 Speaker 8: Burns documentary. If the United States revolt against Britain was 2377 02:19:33,400 --> 02:19:36,960 Speaker 8: such a grand event, the most significant event this perth 2378 02:19:37,160 --> 02:19:40,760 Speaker 8: of Jesus Christ, according to the filmmaker, which of course 2379 02:19:40,879 --> 02:19:44,240 Speaker 8: is an insult to Islam, not to mention an insult 2380 02:19:44,360 --> 02:19:50,840 Speaker 8: to the inventions like mass electricity, the printing press, et cetera. 2381 02:19:52,480 --> 02:19:55,880 Speaker 8: History should provide insight into the present, and that's where 2382 02:19:56,040 --> 02:19:59,960 Speaker 8: that documentary and a good deal of historiography failed. 2383 02:20:02,240 --> 02:20:04,600 Speaker 2: Doctor Horn got a tweek question for it's almost like 2384 02:20:04,600 --> 02:20:07,640 Speaker 2: a letter, so just rolling me on this. It says, 2385 02:20:07,760 --> 02:20:09,840 Speaker 2: during last week and over the weekend, there were about 2386 02:20:09,879 --> 02:20:13,480 Speaker 2: six Democratic Congressional legislators former military that put out a 2387 02:20:13,520 --> 02:20:17,119 Speaker 2: social media message advising current service person not to obey 2388 02:20:17,200 --> 02:20:20,400 Speaker 2: any illicit military orders put forth by the Trump administration. 2389 02:20:20,920 --> 02:20:22,560 Speaker 2: And the twetter goes on to say, can you ask 2390 02:20:22,560 --> 02:20:26,119 Speaker 2: doctor Horn the following, does he feel these legislators preemptively 2391 02:20:26,280 --> 02:20:30,320 Speaker 2: received intel that Trump was planning something the farious? These letters, 2392 02:20:30,400 --> 02:20:32,080 Speaker 2: they just want to beat Trump to the punch, that's 2393 02:20:32,120 --> 02:20:34,400 Speaker 2: one question, he says. If so, is this in relation 2394 02:20:34,840 --> 02:20:39,279 Speaker 2: to Ukraine, Venezuela or Operation Swamp Suite in New Orleans? 2395 02:20:39,280 --> 02:20:42,120 Speaker 2: And lastly, did doctor Horn take a residence in Canada 2396 02:20:42,240 --> 02:20:43,240 Speaker 2: or is just that a rumor? 2397 02:20:45,200 --> 02:20:45,520 Speaker 5: You said? 2398 02:20:45,520 --> 02:20:46,920 Speaker 8: Did I take a bresident in Canada? 2399 02:20:47,520 --> 02:20:49,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the last part. 2400 02:20:49,560 --> 02:20:53,280 Speaker 8: Canada for most of the year, but unfortunately I had 2401 02:20:53,320 --> 02:20:57,280 Speaker 8: to return because I couldn't get the immigration papers straight. 2402 02:20:57,959 --> 02:21:02,200 Speaker 8: But in any case, with regard to those six representatives, 2403 02:21:02,720 --> 02:21:07,000 Speaker 8: what they were saying is actually what service personnel are 2404 02:21:07,040 --> 02:21:11,879 Speaker 8: told in training, that not only can you disobey an 2405 02:21:11,920 --> 02:21:16,120 Speaker 8: illegal order, you must disobey an a legal order. And 2406 02:21:16,240 --> 02:21:21,200 Speaker 8: I speculate that it has something to do with Venezuela, 2407 02:21:21,760 --> 02:21:26,520 Speaker 8: particularly the blowing up of these fishermen in open waters. 2408 02:21:26,959 --> 02:21:30,360 Speaker 8: Recalled that one of the top military leaders in the 2409 02:21:30,440 --> 02:21:33,840 Speaker 8: United States military just resigned.

It 2439 02:23:11,120 --> 02:23:15,359 Speaker 8: was designed to overthrow the notorious eighteen fifty seventh Supreme 2440 02:23:15,400 --> 02:23:20,640 Speaker 8: Court case of the dread Scott case, which of course 2441 02:23:21,560 --> 02:23:26,440 Speaker 8: was engineered by the Marylander who served as Chief Justice. 2442 02:23:26,480 --> 02:23:30,440 Speaker 8: Speaking of Roger Taney, the dread Scott case that the 2443 02:23:30,520 --> 02:23:35,959 Speaker 8: black people cannot be citizens. The Fourteenth Amendment supposedly overturned 2444 02:23:36,440 --> 02:23:41,880 Speaker 8: dred Scott. If birthright citizenship under the fourteenth Amendment in 2445 02:23:41,920 --> 02:23:43,320 Speaker 8: turn is overturned. 2446 02:23:43,920 --> 02:23:44,440 Speaker 13: What does that. 2447 02:23:44,520 --> 02:23:50,040 Speaker 8: Say about dread Scott is it back? In effect? This 2448 02:23:50,160 --> 02:23:54,480 Speaker 8: is all very dangerous, needless to say, And it would 2449 02:23:54,480 --> 02:23:58,040 Speaker 8: not surprise me at all if the so called original 2450 02:23:58,080 --> 02:24:03,120 Speaker 8: one who occupy the majority of the Supreme Court would 2451 02:24:03,200 --> 02:24:08,480 Speaker 8: decide to overlook and override the plain language of the 2452 02:24:08,600 --> 02:24:12,240 Speaker 8: fourteenth Amenber and decide once again to go along with 2453 02:24:12,280 --> 02:24:14,960 Speaker 8: Mster Trump. Do not be so shocked nor surprise if 2454 02:24:15,000 --> 02:24:15,520 Speaker 8: that occurred. 2455 02:24:16,920 --> 02:24:17,160 Speaker 7: Wow. 2456 02:24:17,440 --> 02:24:20,000 Speaker 16: Thank you for that explanation, doctor Horn. And one more 2457 02:24:20,040 --> 02:24:22,440 Speaker 16: thing I wanted to add is I was doing some 2458 02:24:22,520 --> 02:24:25,440 Speaker 16: research and I had found two Googles that I like 2459 02:24:25,520 --> 02:24:28,600 Speaker 16: to provide to you and the audience. The first one 2460 02:24:28,760 --> 02:24:35,520 Speaker 16: is Trump National Citizenship Database, and I found several articles 2461 02:24:35,560 --> 02:24:39,279 Speaker 16: that the Trump administration has already created, for the first 2462 02:24:39,280 --> 02:24:44,040 Speaker 16: time in the United States history, a national citizenship database, 2463 02:24:44,440 --> 02:24:48,200 Speaker 16: and this could be used to basically define another form 2464 02:24:48,240 --> 02:24:51,959 Speaker 16: of citizenship in the future after the Supreme Court makes 2465 02:24:52,000 --> 02:24:55,959 Speaker 16: this ruling regarding that executive order. And the second google 2466 02:24:56,160 --> 02:24:58,959 Speaker 16: is if you've heard about this, if you could explain it. 2467 02:24:59,600 --> 02:25:03,360 Speaker 16: The google is prompt Office of Remigration. 2468 02:25:03,879 --> 02:25:04,640 Speaker 11: It's R E. 2469 02:25:04,760 --> 02:25:06,640 Speaker 10: M I G R A T IO. 2470 02:25:06,640 --> 02:25:10,680 Speaker 16: N Office of Remigration, and this is a new department 2471 02:25:10,760 --> 02:25:15,440 Speaker 16: in the State Department that talks about not just deporting immigrants, 2472 02:25:15,879 --> 02:25:21,160 Speaker 16: but possibly deporting nine assimilated American citizens. 2473 02:25:20,520 --> 02:25:22,240 Speaker 12: To other countries like in Africa. 2474 02:25:22,760 --> 02:25:25,400 Speaker 10: Could you come in on those two googles, doctor Horn. 2475 02:25:26,959 --> 02:25:31,920 Speaker 8: Well, once again, we should not be shocked nor surprised 2476 02:25:32,240 --> 02:25:35,640 Speaker 8: if those assertions you make turn out to be valid, 2477 02:25:35,640 --> 02:25:41,200 Speaker 8: because right now as we speak, you see undocumented workers 2478 02:25:41,440 --> 02:25:44,920 Speaker 8: being deported to East Swatini and Southern Africa, although they 2479 02:25:44,959 --> 02:25:48,000 Speaker 8: never had any connection to the country. A man of 2480 02:25:48,080 --> 02:25:52,360 Speaker 8: Jamaican ancestry was amongst those who were sent there. Some 2481 02:25:52,520 --> 02:25:58,039 Speaker 8: are being deported to Rwanda, for example. And historically there's 2482 02:25:58,080 --> 02:26:01,600 Speaker 8: been a long standing effort the house the black population 2483 02:26:01,760 --> 02:26:04,640 Speaker 8: of the United States of America. Therein you begin to 2484 02:26:05,000 --> 02:26:08,600 Speaker 8: understand the history of the West African country of Liberia, 2485 02:26:09,400 --> 02:26:14,279 Speaker 8: which came into being about two centuries ago, principally promoted, 2486 02:26:14,360 --> 02:26:16,280 Speaker 8: as I pointed out in my book on Washington, DC, 2487 02:26:17,400 --> 02:26:22,120 Speaker 8: by the leaders of Meryl who thought that after the 2488 02:26:22,200 --> 02:26:25,160 Speaker 8: War of eighteen twelve there were too many free Negroes 2489 02:26:25,200 --> 02:26:27,879 Speaker 8: who sided with the British invaders not to mention its 2490 02:26:27,879 --> 02:26:30,800 Speaker 8: slave Africans. And so the idea was to send them 2491 02:26:30,840 --> 02:26:33,240 Speaker 8: all to Liberia. Then after the net Turner Slaver vote 2492 02:26:33,240 --> 02:26:36,360 Speaker 8: of August eighteen thirty one, the idea was to send 2493 02:26:36,480 --> 02:26:43,039 Speaker 8: disgruntled Negroes to Liberia. And then when mister Lincoln came 2494 02:26:43,080 --> 02:26:45,800 Speaker 8: to office in the eighteen sixties, he was trying to 2495 02:26:45,840 --> 02:26:51,480 Speaker 8: convince black people in Washington, in particular to accept emancipation. 2496 02:26:51,720 --> 02:26:54,720 Speaker 8: Then expatoration that it's to say we'll free you, but 2497 02:26:54,760 --> 02:26:57,640 Speaker 8: you've got to go. And then at the end of 2498 02:26:57,680 --> 02:27:00,840 Speaker 8: the nineteenth century, after the United States to why, the 2499 02:27:00,879 --> 02:27:04,080 Speaker 8: idea was to send US Negroes to Awaii. And then 2500 02:27:04,120 --> 02:27:06,560 Speaker 8: after they waste war on the Philippines, the idea was 2501 02:27:06,560 --> 02:27:11,360 Speaker 8: to send US Negroes to the Philippines. So we're just 2502 02:27:11,400 --> 02:27:14,400 Speaker 8: seeing the revival of old ideas. 2503 02:27:15,240 --> 02:27:17,280 Speaker 4: Let me tell man a question for you, doctor Harnt. 2504 02:27:17,360 --> 02:27:17,720 Speaker 4: I thank you. 2505 02:27:17,760 --> 02:27:20,800 Speaker 2: Gregory ten halfter the top. The implication of what Gregory 2506 02:27:20,840 --> 02:27:25,119 Speaker 2: is saying, is it possible that they could strip African 2507 02:27:25,200 --> 02:27:29,400 Speaker 2: Americans of citizenship or blacks because of the fourteenth Amendment? 2508 02:27:29,760 --> 02:27:32,360 Speaker 2: Is that a possibility that the Supreme Court would go 2509 02:27:32,400 --> 02:27:34,480 Speaker 2: along with it. You mentioned they'd rub a stamp. Everything 2510 02:27:34,520 --> 02:27:37,039 Speaker 2: that he does is that where Gregory was going. 2511 02:27:36,840 --> 02:27:37,320 Speaker 4: With all this. 2512 02:27:38,560 --> 02:27:40,680 Speaker 8: I assume that's where he was going. And as you 2513 02:27:40,760 --> 02:27:43,360 Speaker 8: have already indicated that the Supreme Court tends to rub 2514 02:27:43,360 --> 02:27:46,560 Speaker 8: this down whatever Kakamami idea mister Trump comes up with. 2515 02:27:47,320 --> 02:27:49,800 Speaker 8: And so in light of what we just reported about 2516 02:27:49,800 --> 02:27:55,040 Speaker 8: Haiti in terms of these Texas trying to reinsert slavery 2517 02:27:55,120 --> 02:27:58,320 Speaker 8: and Haiti, I don't think that anything is basically off 2518 02:27:58,320 --> 02:28:00,000 Speaker 8: the table out of bounds right now. 2519 02:28:00,720 --> 02:28:02,480 Speaker 2: All right, got another tweet for you at eleven a 2520 02:28:02,480 --> 02:28:04,360 Speaker 2: half the top. Its quite a long sort, so stay 2521 02:28:04,360 --> 02:28:07,000 Speaker 2: with me on this one, doctor Lorne, he says, Grant rising, 2522 02:28:07,080 --> 02:28:10,680 Speaker 2: doctor Horne. With the Trumpet government advancing the Project twenty 2523 02:28:10,760 --> 02:28:13,880 Speaker 2: twenty five agenda, and Corporate America laying off and firing 2524 02:28:13,959 --> 02:28:16,120 Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands of people in the name of saving 2525 02:28:16,160 --> 02:28:20,840 Speaker 2: money on production by AI, with those actions expanding poverty 2526 02:28:20,879 --> 02:28:24,800 Speaker 2: and joblessness. At what point will the billionaire employers recognize 2527 02:28:24,800 --> 02:28:28,040 Speaker 2: that their broad sweeping efforts have and will continue to 2528 02:28:28,080 --> 02:28:31,360 Speaker 2: contract the economy and therefore the corporate bottom line because 2529 02:28:31,360 --> 02:28:34,840 Speaker 2: they're eliminating their own buyers from the marketplace. Is their 2530 02:28:34,920 --> 02:28:37,959 Speaker 2: greed that blind? What is their endgame? And how does 2531 02:28:38,000 --> 02:28:41,199 Speaker 2: this make economic sense, and what are your thoughts? 2532 02:28:41,240 --> 02:28:41,840 Speaker 4: That's the question. 2533 02:28:43,000 --> 02:28:46,320 Speaker 8: Is there greed that blind? The short answer is yet. 2534 02:28:47,000 --> 02:28:51,760 Speaker 8: In other words, they're speaking of these corporate moguls, each 2535 02:28:51,840 --> 02:28:55,560 Speaker 8: are pursuing their own narrow interests. They're not looking at 2536 02:28:55,560 --> 02:28:59,240 Speaker 8: the wider picture that's where the state and the White 2537 02:28:59,240 --> 02:29:02,520 Speaker 8: House is supposed to come into being. Are, in other words, 2538 02:29:02,520 --> 02:29:06,640 Speaker 8: looking out for the entire economy. But obviously that's a 2539 02:29:06,760 --> 02:29:09,440 Speaker 8: fantas thing when you're talking about mister Trump as the 2540 02:29:09,480 --> 02:29:12,240 Speaker 8: head of state and the head of government. And so 2541 02:29:13,240 --> 02:29:15,760 Speaker 8: it's clear that right now it's things stand. The United 2542 02:29:15,800 --> 02:29:18,840 Speaker 8: States has headed for an iceberg. The business press is 2543 02:29:18,959 --> 02:29:25,439 Speaker 8: replete with stories about over investment and artificial intelligence, particularly 2544 02:29:25,720 --> 02:29:30,400 Speaker 8: when we know that China. According to Jensen Wang of Nvidia, 2545 02:29:30,480 --> 02:29:33,520 Speaker 8: which has been one of the major winners in the 2546 02:29:33,600 --> 02:29:39,800 Speaker 8: United States of this artificial intelligence boondoggle, he says that 2547 02:29:39,959 --> 02:29:43,240 Speaker 8: China is ahead and is likely to prevail. At the 2548 02:29:43,280 --> 02:29:48,000 Speaker 8: same time, where you see meta Facebook investing bigions, Google 2549 02:29:48,360 --> 02:29:54,440 Speaker 8: investing bigions, Microsoft investing billions, something is awry here. 2550 02:29:56,200 --> 02:29:59,080 Speaker 2: And also we're seeing that Elon Musk is back in 2551 02:29:59,120 --> 02:30:01,680 Speaker 2: the White House, if you can talk about him for 2552 02:30:01,720 --> 02:30:05,119 Speaker 2: a minute, because he was under pressure from the people 2553 02:30:05,120 --> 02:30:08,680 Speaker 2: that Tesla people, the carmaker that he runs, and he 2554 02:30:08,840 --> 02:30:11,200 Speaker 2: prompts them wouldn't get involved in government. So they gave 2555 02:30:11,280 --> 02:30:13,920 Speaker 2: him a new contract, oms a trillion dollar contract, and 2556 02:30:14,200 --> 02:30:17,200 Speaker 2: right after that he goes well, well, he turns up 2557 02:30:17,200 --> 02:30:20,600 Speaker 2: in the White House at the Saudi Arabia leaders meeting 2558 02:30:20,760 --> 02:30:23,440 Speaker 2: and also he says he's having a dog a meeting 2559 02:30:23,440 --> 02:30:28,240 Speaker 2: with his doose friends in Austin, Texas. Did the first 2560 02:30:28,600 --> 02:30:31,680 Speaker 2: the investors in his company who he promised he wouldn't 2561 02:30:31,680 --> 02:30:33,680 Speaker 2: get involved in poltics? Did they get played? And he 2562 02:30:33,760 --> 02:30:36,680 Speaker 2: got that trillion dollars from them, and that's what he wanted. 2563 02:30:36,720 --> 02:30:39,280 Speaker 2: And too, do you see him going back into politics 2564 02:30:39,280 --> 02:30:41,480 Speaker 2: since he was there with a SATI group or is 2565 02:30:41,520 --> 02:30:44,600 Speaker 2: he just just angling just to try for his business interests. 2566 02:30:45,840 --> 02:30:48,039 Speaker 8: Well, it seems to be the latter. Part of the 2567 02:30:48,120 --> 02:30:51,320 Speaker 8: takeaway from the visit of the Saudi leader to the 2568 02:30:51,360 --> 02:30:54,280 Speaker 8: Oval Office, it's that the United States is going to 2569 02:30:54,320 --> 02:30:59,560 Speaker 8: allow more investment and artificial intelligence in Saudi Arabia itself, 2570 02:30:59,560 --> 02:31:03,120 Speaker 8: and that's where Elon Musk plans to profit, because he 2571 02:31:03,160 --> 02:31:07,039 Speaker 8: too is investing heavily in that sphere. But I think 2572 02:31:07,160 --> 02:31:10,680 Speaker 8: One of the revealing aspects of this Trigon dollar pay 2573 02:31:10,720 --> 02:31:16,160 Speaker 8: package that mister Elon Musk has received is that I 2574 02:31:16,240 --> 02:31:21,000 Speaker 8: expected more outcry given the crisis of everyday living in 2575 02:31:21,040 --> 02:31:24,920 Speaker 8: this country, the affordability crisis, and yet here you have 2576 02:31:25,000 --> 02:31:28,960 Speaker 8: one man getting a pay package that is larger than 2577 02:31:29,320 --> 02:31:33,439 Speaker 8: the GDP the economy of a number of smaller countries, 2578 02:31:33,520 --> 02:31:37,080 Speaker 8: for example, and yet there doesn't seem to be that 2579 02:31:37,200 --> 02:31:38,320 Speaker 8: much concern about it. 2580 02:31:39,760 --> 02:31:43,200 Speaker 2: And having said that, we saw them. There's some they 2581 02:31:43,200 --> 02:31:45,560 Speaker 2: say it's a civil war in the MAGA group. They 2582 02:31:45,600 --> 02:31:48,680 Speaker 2: talk about Trump not being for America, is being for 2583 02:31:48,760 --> 02:31:53,200 Speaker 2: everybody else when he said America first. Do you think 2584 02:31:53,200 --> 02:31:55,880 Speaker 2: there's any merit to that. What's going on between the 2585 02:31:56,720 --> 02:32:03,720 Speaker 2: MAGA group and the rank of filgy about Donald Trump's performance, Well, I. 2586 02:32:03,680 --> 02:32:07,320 Speaker 8: Think it's a serious rip. It's a serious split, particularly 2587 02:32:07,400 --> 02:32:12,480 Speaker 8: between the Zionists and the pro Nazi faction, if you like, 2588 02:32:13,080 --> 02:32:18,720 Speaker 8: of the GOP that was all ways on his unsteady marriage. 2589 02:32:19,320 --> 02:32:21,480 Speaker 8: It was bound to lead to a crack up, and 2590 02:32:21,520 --> 02:32:22,440 Speaker 8: that's happening now. 2591 02:32:22,959 --> 02:32:23,240 Speaker 9: Now. 2592 02:32:23,920 --> 02:32:28,599 Speaker 8: I think it will probably weaken mister Trump's poll numbers. 2593 02:32:29,200 --> 02:32:32,199 Speaker 8: But as you know, mister Trump is like a cat 2594 02:32:32,240 --> 02:32:36,680 Speaker 8: with nine lives. He's been able to survive scandal after scandal. 2595 02:32:36,720 --> 02:32:41,280 Speaker 8: Recall what happened during the twenty sixteen campaign when he 2596 02:32:41,400 --> 02:32:43,960 Speaker 8: was talking about grabbing the private parts of women. Many 2597 02:32:44,000 --> 02:32:46,920 Speaker 8: thought that that would be the end of this candidacy. 2598 02:32:47,160 --> 02:32:48,959 Speaker 8: Not only was it not the end, he wind up 2599 02:32:49,240 --> 02:32:53,439 Speaker 8: winning the election. So it's premature to dance on his grave. 2600 02:32:54,800 --> 02:32:56,560 Speaker 2: Having said that. Fifteen at the top, and let me 2601 02:32:56,600 --> 02:32:58,520 Speaker 2: just tell your family, this is doctor Gerald Horny. I 2602 02:32:58,600 --> 02:33:01,680 Speaker 2: guess doctor horn mentioned the Zionists that are upset because 2603 02:33:01,680 --> 02:33:05,280 Speaker 2: they've they've been I guess now discriminated against in the 2604 02:33:05,440 --> 02:33:07,880 Speaker 2: in the Magat group and in parts of the GOP. 2605 02:33:08,040 --> 02:33:12,040 Speaker 2: But they've also turned out off the Progressives and the Democrats. 2606 02:33:12,120 --> 02:33:14,720 Speaker 2: So they're basically many of them and then many of 2607 02:33:14,760 --> 02:33:18,280 Speaker 2: them with money are in no no land. What hamms 2608 02:33:18,320 --> 02:33:18,640 Speaker 2: to them. 2609 02:33:19,400 --> 02:33:21,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, they really pintied themselves into a corner. 2610 02:33:23,120 --> 02:33:23,760 Speaker 1: As you have. 2611 02:33:23,760 --> 02:33:29,160 Speaker 8: Suggested correctly, they've gone after mister Mumdanni with hammer and tum. 2612 02:33:29,840 --> 02:33:32,760 Speaker 8: The ADL, the Anti Defamation League of the Nay Britain, 2613 02:33:33,240 --> 02:33:37,080 Speaker 8: a mad designist organization, set up a kind of hip line, 2614 02:33:37,400 --> 02:33:41,640 Speaker 8: the Mumdani Monitor, where employees of the City of New 2615 02:33:41,720 --> 02:33:45,240 Speaker 8: York who suspect that they've been subjected to what they 2616 02:33:45,280 --> 02:33:49,920 Speaker 8: call anti Semitism should drop a dime on mister Mumdani 2617 02:33:50,400 --> 02:33:54,000 Speaker 8: and whoever's working for him. They really need to go 2618 02:33:54,120 --> 02:33:59,320 Speaker 8: through it agonizing reappraisal because they alienated the left, they're 2619 02:33:59,400 --> 02:34:02,600 Speaker 8: alienating the right, and they painted themselves into a. 2620 02:34:02,640 --> 02:34:06,480 Speaker 2: Corner seventeen at the top that we got to take 2621 02:34:06,480 --> 02:34:08,480 Speaker 2: a short we come back though. Let's let's go back 2622 02:34:08,520 --> 02:34:10,720 Speaker 2: to the continent. Family, you want to join this discussion 2623 02:34:10,720 --> 02:34:13,760 Speaker 2: with our guest, doctor doctor Gerald Hon. Doctor Horne is 2624 02:34:13,760 --> 02:34:15,720 Speaker 2: one of the smartest brothers out there. He's writing two 2625 02:34:15,800 --> 02:34:17,720 Speaker 2: or three books at one time. He's got several books out. 2626 02:34:17,720 --> 02:34:19,680 Speaker 2: We're going to talk about him about his books before 2627 02:34:19,680 --> 02:34:21,560 Speaker 2: he leaves us as well. But you could have a 2628 02:34:21,640 --> 02:34:23,039 Speaker 2: chance to speak to him right now. All you got 2629 02:34:23,040 --> 02:34:24,640 Speaker 2: to do is doll us up at eight hundred four 2630 02:34:24,760 --> 02:34:27,680 Speaker 2: five zero seventy eight seventy sixty. We'll take your phone 2631 02:34:27,680 --> 02:34:30,480 Speaker 2: calls and grind rising. Family. Thanks for staying with us 2632 02:34:30,480 --> 02:34:32,200 Speaker 2: and an't just starting your week with us. I guess 2633 02:34:32,280 --> 02:34:35,720 Speaker 2: there's doctor jeryld Horn for the University of Houston. We're 2634 02:34:35,760 --> 02:34:37,760 Speaker 2: going to go to the content but let's stop first before 2635 02:34:37,760 --> 02:34:39,720 Speaker 2: we go to the count Let's stop on Wall Street, 2636 02:34:40,320 --> 02:34:42,680 Speaker 2: doctor Horn, what's going on with Econnor. We can't get 2637 02:34:42,680 --> 02:34:44,879 Speaker 2: a good reading of the economy because the government was 2638 02:34:44,879 --> 02:34:48,040 Speaker 2: shut down, so we don't know the unemployment ras for example, 2639 02:34:48,040 --> 02:34:50,400 Speaker 2: we don't know. And they're waiting to know where they're 2640 02:34:50,400 --> 02:34:52,480 Speaker 2: going to raise or drop interest racis don't They don't 2641 02:34:52,520 --> 02:34:55,680 Speaker 2: have enough I guess enough elements to work with the 2642 02:34:55,720 --> 02:34:58,560 Speaker 2: come up with the conclusion, are we in a recession? 2643 02:34:58,600 --> 02:35:00,480 Speaker 2: We don't know. He keeps saying that he's Biden's and 2644 02:35:00,520 --> 02:35:02,720 Speaker 2: Connie plays everything on Joe Biden, and then we hear 2645 02:35:02,720 --> 02:35:05,000 Speaker 2: the crypto is about to crash, and if he does, 2646 02:35:05,040 --> 02:35:08,400 Speaker 2: it's just going to erode Trump's family's wealth. At He's 2647 02:35:08,400 --> 02:35:11,520 Speaker 2: built a love wealth with him and his family on cryptocurrency. 2648 02:35:11,760 --> 02:35:15,840 Speaker 2: So can you answer those financial questions for us, Well. 2649 02:35:15,800 --> 02:35:18,720 Speaker 8: Only look at what mister Trump is doing and you'll 2650 02:35:18,720 --> 02:35:22,920 Speaker 8: get an idea of what's happening. For example, he calls 2651 02:35:23,000 --> 02:35:27,880 Speaker 8: himself tariff Man, but because of the rise in groceries, 2652 02:35:27,920 --> 02:35:32,039 Speaker 8: he's felt compelled to roll back tariffs on coffee from Brazil. 2653 02:35:32,240 --> 02:35:37,080 Speaker 8: For example. He's rolled back of the tariffs concerning food items, 2654 02:35:37,600 --> 02:35:43,160 Speaker 8: he's feeling the heat. Obviously, with regard to other ideas, 2655 02:35:43,360 --> 02:35:47,879 Speaker 8: they're really bordering on lunacy. For example, a fifty year mortgage, 2656 02:35:48,320 --> 02:35:54,119 Speaker 8: which basically turns your bank into your banker into your landlord, 2657 02:35:54,600 --> 02:35:58,039 Speaker 8: and so you miss a mortgage payment for example, on 2658 02:35:58,080 --> 02:36:01,520 Speaker 8: that fifty year mortgage, could find yourself out on the street. 2659 02:36:02,400 --> 02:36:04,560 Speaker 8: I don't think that that dog is going to hunt. 2660 02:36:05,600 --> 02:36:09,560 Speaker 8: With regard to AI, we've already referenced the fact that 2661 02:36:09,560 --> 02:36:12,920 Speaker 8: that bubble should be bursting at any moment. He may 2662 02:36:13,080 --> 02:36:18,200 Speaker 8: burst today, for example, which would call for, in mister 2663 02:36:18,200 --> 02:36:21,960 Speaker 8: Trump's eyes, a government bailout. You should also expect a 2664 02:36:22,320 --> 02:36:26,520 Speaker 8: possible government bailout with regard to Crypto, which, as you 2665 02:36:26,600 --> 02:36:31,000 Speaker 8: correctly suggest, mister Trump's family has invested heavily in Recall 2666 02:36:31,440 --> 02:36:35,480 Speaker 8: that before they've invested heavily. He was very critical of 2667 02:36:35,560 --> 02:36:39,800 Speaker 8: that whole crypto phenomena. But now he's become an evangelist 2668 02:36:39,800 --> 02:36:43,720 Speaker 8: for crypto. But crypto is in the process of crashing, 2669 02:36:44,400 --> 02:36:47,800 Speaker 8: and that does not bode well with the overall US economy. 2670 02:36:48,480 --> 02:36:50,440 Speaker 2: Twenty three out the top. Now, it's just like Kasheba 2671 02:36:50,480 --> 02:36:52,800 Speaker 2: sending a questions in Silver Spring. She says, do you 2672 02:36:52,800 --> 02:36:57,080 Speaker 2: think AI will be running parts of the government and 2673 02:36:57,320 --> 02:36:58,920 Speaker 2: especially the executive branch. 2674 02:37:00,840 --> 02:37:04,280 Speaker 8: Well, I think as a tool it will be used 2675 02:37:04,280 --> 02:37:07,439 Speaker 8: by the government already. You see that happening in Albania, 2676 02:37:07,800 --> 02:37:11,680 Speaker 8: the country in southeastern Europe, for example, and I think 2677 02:37:11,720 --> 02:37:15,240 Speaker 8: that that's just an indication of what's to come. But 2678 02:37:15,440 --> 02:37:20,080 Speaker 8: I think AI really presents a mortal threatened danger to 2679 02:37:20,200 --> 02:37:25,560 Speaker 8: middle management, for example. It presents a mortal threatened danger 2680 02:37:26,120 --> 02:37:29,320 Speaker 8: the people at the lower level on Wall Street, or 2681 02:37:29,400 --> 02:37:32,640 Speaker 8: people at the lower level and big law firms, because 2682 02:37:32,920 --> 02:37:38,879 Speaker 8: what those folks are doing, artificial intelligence can probably do 2683 02:37:39,240 --> 02:37:43,360 Speaker 8: more cheaply, and of course they don't call in sick 2684 02:37:43,480 --> 02:37:47,280 Speaker 8: on Monday morning, for example. Speaking of AI. So this 2685 02:37:48,360 --> 02:37:52,320 Speaker 8: economy is really due for a rough roller coaster ride, 2686 02:37:53,120 --> 02:37:56,480 Speaker 8: and the victims are going to be many of our neighbors. 2687 02:37:57,640 --> 02:38:00,360 Speaker 2: Wow, I'm glad you went there with AI because we 2688 02:38:00,400 --> 02:38:02,640 Speaker 2: talked about Elon Musk and that's the money that he 2689 02:38:02,720 --> 02:38:05,280 Speaker 2: wants to invest in. Is robots. Is robots are going 2690 02:38:05,320 --> 02:38:08,240 Speaker 2: to replace human beings. But Donald Trump is saying these 2691 02:38:08,320 --> 02:38:10,760 Speaker 2: jobs that were left the country are coming back. Who's 2692 02:38:10,800 --> 02:38:11,480 Speaker 2: telling the truth. 2693 02:38:12,480 --> 02:38:15,720 Speaker 8: Well, Donald Trump clearly is not telling the truth. Do 2694 02:38:15,840 --> 02:38:19,000 Speaker 8: not expect these jobs to come back to the United 2695 02:38:19,040 --> 02:38:23,560 Speaker 8: States of America. That's a fantasy. He must be smoking 2696 02:38:23,600 --> 02:38:26,240 Speaker 8: the drapes in the Oval Office in order to believe 2697 02:38:26,280 --> 02:38:30,600 Speaker 8: that nonsense. And I'm afraid to say that many of 2698 02:38:30,640 --> 02:38:34,120 Speaker 8: the supporters in the Maga Bass Ultimately, I think that's 2699 02:38:34,160 --> 02:38:38,959 Speaker 8: what's leading to their anxiety is anxiety about the state 2700 02:38:39,000 --> 02:38:39,560 Speaker 8: of economy. 2701 02:38:39,600 --> 02:38:40,640 Speaker 7: You saw that in that. 2702 02:38:42,120 --> 02:38:45,560 Speaker 8: Messages that went viral from March Retail and Green where 2703 02:38:46,480 --> 02:38:50,920 Speaker 8: in resigning from Congress she called out big pharma, neo 2704 02:38:51,040 --> 02:38:56,320 Speaker 8: cons the military industrial complex. But undergirding it all, underpinning 2705 02:38:56,360 --> 02:38:59,920 Speaker 8: at all, is an anxiety about what's happening to her base. 2706 02:39:00,400 --> 02:39:02,600 Speaker 8: The problem with her is that she has no answer. 2707 02:39:02,680 --> 02:39:03,640 Speaker 8: She has no remedy. 2708 02:39:05,640 --> 02:39:07,520 Speaker 2: Yeah at twenty five the top of that doctor one. 2709 02:39:07,600 --> 02:39:11,560 Speaker 2: Also the farmers, you know, the black farmers are getting 2710 02:39:12,040 --> 02:39:16,400 Speaker 2: messed over, and now the white farmers, especially the soybean farmers. 2711 02:39:16,120 --> 02:39:18,880 Speaker 2: What do you see happening there? Are they going to 2712 02:39:18,920 --> 02:39:19,640 Speaker 2: get a bail. 2713 02:39:19,400 --> 02:39:19,959 Speaker 4: Out as well? 2714 02:39:21,640 --> 02:39:25,000 Speaker 8: It's possible, but it may be too late. Mister Trump, 2715 02:39:25,360 --> 02:39:28,959 Speaker 8: once again, it's acting in a contradictory fashion. That is 2716 02:39:29,000 --> 02:39:33,560 Speaker 8: to say, he provided a multi bigion dollar bailout to Argentina, 2717 02:39:33,760 --> 02:39:38,960 Speaker 8: to the government, and Argentina repaid the favor by unleashing 2718 02:39:39,040 --> 02:39:42,680 Speaker 8: their soy being farmers on Chinese markets, and they began 2719 02:39:42,840 --> 02:39:48,360 Speaker 8: to purloin and steal markets in China that previously have 2720 02:39:48,480 --> 02:39:52,280 Speaker 8: belonged to Midwestern soy being farmers. I think in the 2721 02:39:52,280 --> 02:39:55,920 Speaker 8: next few months you're going to see record bankruptcies in 2722 02:39:55,959 --> 02:40:00,840 Speaker 8: the farming sector. For example, their land will be bought up, 2723 02:40:01,720 --> 02:40:05,400 Speaker 8: and you may see them in the unemployment line. 2724 02:40:06,360 --> 02:40:10,879 Speaker 2: Ironically, many of them are Trumpsters, though of course they're trumpsters. 2725 02:40:12,680 --> 02:40:15,560 Speaker 8: Look, I mean, there's a lot of backwardness in this country. 2726 02:40:16,320 --> 02:40:21,240 Speaker 8: People routinely vote against their own interests, and we should 2727 02:40:21,280 --> 02:40:23,440 Speaker 8: not expect that to end anytime soon. 2728 02:40:25,560 --> 02:40:27,560 Speaker 2: I'm glad you mentioned that. Well, what about the black folks. 2729 02:40:27,560 --> 02:40:30,360 Speaker 2: It was still stuck in the Magat crowd.

Then how do you see them? 2733 02:40:38,760 --> 02:40:40,720 Speaker 8: Well, I think you hit the nail on the head. 2734 02:40:40,760 --> 02:40:43,640 Speaker 8: Many of them are low information voters. Many of them 2735 02:40:43,680 --> 02:40:48,760 Speaker 8: are hustlers. Many of them are like Senator Tim Scott 2736 02:40:49,280 --> 02:40:52,840 Speaker 8: South Carolina Byron Donald's of Florida, who feel that they 2737 02:40:52,879 --> 02:40:57,600 Speaker 8: can personally profit by hopping aboard the Trump train. But 2738 02:40:57,720 --> 02:41:01,560 Speaker 8: what they need to understand is that the Trump train 2739 02:41:01,640 --> 02:41:05,000 Speaker 8: has set up for a serious train work which will 2740 02:41:05,080 --> 02:41:07,400 Speaker 8: lead few intact. 2741 02:41:08,200 --> 02:41:10,040 Speaker 2: Twenty eight at the top of that with doctor Jerald 2742 02:41:10,040 --> 02:41:13,720 Speaker 2: Horn Bees checking in from Atlanta Online one Online, three 2743 02:41:13,760 --> 02:41:15,720 Speaker 2: pardon me at Grand Rise and b You're on with 2744 02:41:15,760 --> 02:41:16,560 Speaker 2: doctor Horn. 2745 02:41:18,000 --> 02:41:20,680 Speaker 17: Grand Rounds and Bibla called ground Rounds and Barbara Jerald 2746 02:41:20,720 --> 02:41:24,480 Speaker 17: Horn If you don't mind, can you elaborate on the 2747 02:41:24,520 --> 02:41:28,880 Speaker 17: difficulties you have acquiring your immigration papers in Canada.

For example, they do not necessarily favor people 2759 02:41:56,920 --> 02:41:59,600 Speaker 8: in my age group because they feel that people like 2760 02:41:59,680 --> 02:42:02,240 Speaker 8: myself just want to come to Canada.

I read French, but I'm not fluent in 2764 02:42:13,959 --> 02:42:16,760 Speaker 8: the language.

You talk 2775 02:42:48,040 --> 02:42:51,680 Speaker 2: about the problems that you know Canada, what about the continent. 2776 02:42:51,959 --> 02:42:54,560 Speaker 2: Let's go to the content now. Is it easier or 2777 02:42:54,600 --> 02:42:57,160 Speaker 2: should you or should we consider, you know, all the 2778 02:42:57,240 --> 02:43:00,760 Speaker 2: problems that look looking ahead of us. Should we consider, 2779 02:43:01,120 --> 02:43:04,959 Speaker 2: you know, migrating to the content either as a short 2780 02:43:05,080 --> 02:43:09,400 Speaker 2: term you know, effort or full time? How do you 2781 02:43:09,440 --> 02:43:10,200 Speaker 2: say the content? 2782 02:43:10,840 --> 02:43:11,040 Speaker 7: Well? 2783 02:43:11,080 --> 02:43:13,920 Speaker 8: Sure, I mean, but of course it should be investigated 2784 02:43:13,959 --> 02:43:19,400 Speaker 8: beforehand because many of these African nations, Caribbean nations, they 2785 02:43:19,400 --> 02:43:22,240 Speaker 8: have problems of their own, and so you should have 2786 02:43:22,440 --> 02:43:25,880 Speaker 8: some sort of financial stash in hand. If you're planning 2787 02:43:26,240 --> 02:43:31,920 Speaker 8: to migrate to a foreign country, you should be obviously 2788 02:43:32,000 --> 02:43:36,840 Speaker 8: conversant in the language or a language of the country 2789 02:43:36,879 --> 02:43:42,280 Speaker 8: to which you're residing through which you're migrating. You should 2790 02:43:42,360 --> 02:43:46,560 Speaker 8: to consider it the downside risk, consider political stability, political 2791 02:43:46,600 --> 02:43:49,240 Speaker 8: instability because you don't want to be caught up and 2792 02:43:49,320 --> 02:43:53,879 Speaker 8: some sort of coup data. But in any case, many 2793 02:43:53,920 --> 02:43:59,920 Speaker 8: African nations or throwing open the doors for Black American migrants, 2794 02:44:00,720 --> 02:44:04,360 Speaker 8: Ghana in particular, as you know, there's a substantial number 2795 02:44:04,440 --> 02:44:09,920 Speaker 8: of Black American migrants in Ghana already, and of course 2796 02:44:10,959 --> 02:44:13,560 Speaker 8: other Ghanaan neighbors too should be explored. 2797 02:44:15,240 --> 02:44:17,600 Speaker 2: Got you thirty minutes after the top. They have family 2798 02:44:17,640 --> 02:44:20,200 Speaker 2: with doctor Joel Horn from the University of Houston. He's 2799 02:44:20,240 --> 02:44:24,680 Speaker 2: an African American history Africana history professor. There's also an 2800 02:44:24,680 --> 02:44:26,800 Speaker 2: attorney as well, by the way, if you like to 2801 02:44:26,800 --> 02:44:29,120 Speaker 2: speak to him. Eight hundred and four five zero seventy 2802 02:44:29,160 --> 02:44:31,840 Speaker 2: eight seventy six. Jay's joining us again. I think he 2803 02:44:31,959 --> 02:44:35,119 Speaker 2: called back. He's from New York City's online two Grand Rising. 2804 02:44:35,200 --> 02:44:37,000 Speaker 4: Jay. Your question for doctor Horn. 2805 02:44:38,760 --> 02:44:45,320 Speaker 10: And Yeah, good morning, calling Dotor on two things. Basically, 2806 02:44:45,440 --> 02:44:51,400 Speaker 10: Number one, in regards to this economy, I think it's 2807 02:44:51,600 --> 02:44:57,720 Speaker 10: just about to collapse. I think there's really no upside 2808 02:44:57,959 --> 02:45:01,200 Speaker 10: on it. I'm just hoping the only thing that may 2809 02:45:01,360 --> 02:45:05,959 Speaker 10: save it is if the Supreme Court stands up and 2810 02:45:06,040 --> 02:45:10,320 Speaker 10: do the right thing in regards to these terrors and 2811 02:45:10,600 --> 02:45:15,040 Speaker 10: just makes it to whereas he can't continue to implement 2812 02:45:15,120 --> 02:45:20,240 Speaker 10: these terrors, maybe we will recover. Also, I agree with 2813 02:45:20,320 --> 02:45:27,600 Speaker 10: you in regards to bitcoined, I think that's a disaster 2814 02:45:27,920 --> 02:45:31,959 Speaker 10: just waiting to happen, that he will and his family 2815 02:45:32,160 --> 02:45:36,960 Speaker 10: basically will profit from like they have, which I think 2816 02:45:37,080 --> 02:45:40,760 Speaker 10: is kind of illegal. But you know, the Congress and 2817 02:45:40,840 --> 02:45:45,440 Speaker 10: the Senate won't stand up to him. And also in 2818 02:45:45,480 --> 02:45:51,360 Speaker 10: regards to Venezuela and this implemation of war that it 2819 02:45:51,560 --> 02:45:58,920 Speaker 10: seems that this sick individual is dead set on implementing. 2820 02:45:59,560 --> 02:46:04,400 Speaker 10: I guess to take away from what's going on with 2821 02:46:05,200 --> 02:46:12,520 Speaker 10: Epstein and in regards to using Venezuela to slow down 2822 02:46:12,720 --> 02:46:18,000 Speaker 10: this Epstein situation, which it won't stop. And I will say, 2823 02:46:18,520 --> 02:46:21,760 Speaker 10: as a New Yorker, someone who. 2824 02:46:21,600 --> 02:46:22,400 Speaker 7: Has been. 2825 02:46:23,720 --> 02:46:28,760 Speaker 10: In his circles as a driver, I'm gonna put it 2826 02:46:28,800 --> 02:46:32,879 Speaker 10: to you like this, He's guilty, and a whole lot 2827 02:46:32,920 --> 02:46:38,760 Speaker 10: of other people are guilty of doing what they say 2828 02:46:39,240 --> 02:46:44,199 Speaker 10: they're accused of doing because as a driver, I picked 2829 02:46:44,320 --> 02:46:48,720 Speaker 10: up a lot of women and took them to their 2830 02:46:49,160 --> 02:46:53,400 Speaker 10: houses into hotels. 2831 02:46:54,280 --> 02:46:56,640 Speaker 8: But you need to write a memoir or at least 2832 02:46:56,640 --> 02:46:57,800 Speaker 8: talk to a journey well. 2833 02:46:58,120 --> 02:46:58,720 Speaker 6: I don't want to. 2834 02:46:58,840 --> 02:47:02,039 Speaker 10: I don't want to be honest with you, doctor Horn. 2835 02:47:02,840 --> 02:47:05,760 Speaker 10: I'm not the only one.

He's 2890 02:50:32,720 --> 02:50:34,560 Speaker 2: one of the smartest brothers we have on the planet. 2891 02:50:34,720 --> 02:50:36,400 Speaker 2: And you can reach him at eight hundred four or 2892 02:50:36,400 --> 02:50:39,039 Speaker 2: five zero seventy eight seventy six and we'll take your 2893 02:50:39,040 --> 02:50:42,160 Speaker 2: phone calls next and Grand Rising family, thanks for staying 2894 02:50:42,160 --> 02:50:43,879 Speaker 2: with us on this Monday morning. Thanks for making us 2895 02:50:43,879 --> 02:50:46,200 Speaker 2: part of your morning. Richel I guess is the doctor 2896 02:50:46,240 --> 02:50:49,120 Speaker 2: Jeryl Horn from the University of Houston. Doctor Horne Jay 2897 02:50:49,200 --> 02:50:52,360 Speaker 2: talked about the sexual defense that's probably contained in the 2898 02:50:52,400 --> 02:50:55,440 Speaker 2: Epstein files, that they changed so hard to get us 2899 02:50:55,440 --> 02:50:59,119 Speaker 2: not to see. But is that the concernercy, the concern 2900 02:50:59,160 --> 02:51:01,160 Speaker 2: that some of them involved children? How do you see 2901 02:51:01,160 --> 02:51:03,720 Speaker 2: what that they you know what they're fighting so hard 2902 02:51:03,720 --> 02:51:05,000 Speaker 2: to keep these away from the public. 2903 02:51:06,440 --> 02:51:09,920 Speaker 8: Well, all of the above obviously is implicating many powerful people. 2904 02:51:10,280 --> 02:51:13,640 Speaker 8: You saw mister Trump was mentioned numerous times and these emails. 2905 02:51:14,360 --> 02:51:18,160 Speaker 8: We've seen that the former Treasury secretary and Harvard University 2906 02:51:18,200 --> 02:51:21,800 Speaker 8: president Doug Lawrence Summers has been forced to step back 2907 02:51:21,840 --> 02:51:26,119 Speaker 8: from public life. There will be many others in that category. 2908 02:51:26,520 --> 02:51:30,879 Speaker 8: But what should also be concerning is the defense of 2909 02:51:31,320 --> 02:51:36,560 Speaker 8: mister Epstein and his powerful cronies. Megan Kelly, the former 2910 02:51:36,680 --> 02:51:40,800 Speaker 8: Fox News host, has suggested that we should draw a 2911 02:51:40,840 --> 02:51:45,160 Speaker 8: distinction between abuse of a five year old and abuse 2912 02:51:45,200 --> 02:51:49,359 Speaker 8: of a fifteen year old. In other words, she's unilaterally 2913 02:51:49,400 --> 02:51:52,039 Speaker 8: trying to change the law, for example, not to mention 2914 02:51:52,080 --> 02:51:54,959 Speaker 8: our moral perceptions. I think that this is only the 2915 02:51:55,000 --> 02:51:59,439 Speaker 8: beginning of a downward spiral, not only of this societal, 2916 02:51:59,680 --> 02:52:03,160 Speaker 8: of this society but also a downward spiral in terms 2917 02:52:03,160 --> 02:52:05,080 Speaker 8: of how children are maltreated. 2918 02:52:06,920 --> 02:52:09,720 Speaker 2: But having said that, Dr Horn, the files, if they 2919 02:52:09,760 --> 02:52:12,680 Speaker 2: are really that's a big if right there. 2920 02:52:13,480 --> 02:52:14,240 Speaker 4: How do we know they have. 2921 02:52:14,320 --> 02:52:19,160 Speaker 2: Been altered, adocted, blackwashed if you will, before they release 2922 02:52:19,200 --> 02:52:19,720 Speaker 2: in the public. 2923 02:52:20,800 --> 02:52:23,320 Speaker 8: Well, we don't know, and I think that that's something 2924 02:52:23,520 --> 02:52:28,120 Speaker 8: that we're going to have to investigate further. Of course, 2925 02:52:28,160 --> 02:52:32,160 Speaker 8: there will be many loopholes the town BONDI the Attorney 2926 02:52:32,200 --> 02:52:36,320 Speaker 8: General will pursue, particularly in order to save the scalp 2927 02:52:36,400 --> 02:52:42,040 Speaker 8: of our supervisors. Speaking of mister Trump himself, But that's 2928 02:52:42,080 --> 02:52:45,280 Speaker 8: the situation we now faith, and let's see what happens. 2929 02:52:45,959 --> 02:52:47,880 Speaker 2: Sixteen away from the top of at least John, and 2930 02:52:47,879 --> 02:52:50,440 Speaker 2: that's from Baltimore A LEAs on line three. Grand Rising Lee, 2931 02:52:50,480 --> 02:52:51,800 Speaker 2: your question for doctor. 2932 02:52:51,480 --> 02:52:56,240 Speaker 18: Horn, Yes, Grand Rising and thank you for taking my call, 2933 02:52:56,360 --> 02:53:00,680 Speaker 18: Doctor Horn and brother Nelson. How will are economy be 2934 02:53:00,879 --> 02:53:05,640 Speaker 18: financially affected when individuals who have taxes taken out of 2935 02:53:05,680 --> 02:53:09,760 Speaker 18: our wages is no longer done when they implement the 2936 02:53:09,840 --> 02:53:13,480 Speaker 18: AI box to do the work. 2937 02:53:13,720 --> 02:53:17,160 Speaker 8: Well, that's a good question. As I said, I don't 2938 02:53:17,200 --> 02:53:23,039 Speaker 8: think that the state, the government. Speaking of mister Trump 2939 02:53:23,080 --> 02:53:26,800 Speaker 8: and his cronies are taking a panoramic view of what's 2940 02:53:26,840 --> 02:53:31,000 Speaker 8: happening with this economy. They're all pursuing their narrow interests, 2941 02:53:31,040 --> 02:53:36,520 Speaker 8: which is to profit handsomely from layoffs, for example, from 2942 02:53:36,560 --> 02:53:39,920 Speaker 8: getting rid of human labor, but are not necessarily thinking 2943 02:53:39,959 --> 02:53:44,680 Speaker 8: through the downside consequences, for example, who will buy the 2944 02:53:44,720 --> 02:53:50,080 Speaker 8: products that are being produced? Particularly, there will be difficulty 2945 02:53:50,160 --> 02:53:54,480 Speaker 8: in exporting the projects because of mister Trump alienating most 2946 02:53:54,760 --> 02:54:01,560 Speaker 8: of the partners ferstwhile trading partners, including the European Union, Canada, Mexico. 2947 02:54:01,600 --> 02:54:04,879 Speaker 8: Mister Trump has threatened to mob Mexico, you might have noticed, 2948 02:54:05,200 --> 02:54:08,760 Speaker 8: even though Mexico is probably the most important purchaser of 2949 02:54:08,959 --> 02:54:13,959 Speaker 8: US goods and services right now. So obviously this is 2950 02:54:14,000 --> 02:54:17,600 Speaker 8: a real crisis that it's fair to become even worse. 2951 02:54:19,800 --> 02:54:22,680 Speaker 2: All right, Thanks leaving, Thanks your question, Thanks your question. 2952 02:54:23,879 --> 02:54:26,800 Speaker 2: Let's go to the continent the recent G twenty summit. 2953 02:54:27,640 --> 02:54:29,760 Speaker 2: Donald Trump wasn't there. This is where it's supposed to 2954 02:54:29,760 --> 02:54:32,360 Speaker 2: be a handover meeting with a handover the I guess 2955 02:54:32,400 --> 02:54:34,680 Speaker 2: the leadership of the G twenty to the United States. 2956 02:54:35,440 --> 02:54:38,720 Speaker 2: But China was there, So what did you see? How 2957 02:54:38,760 --> 02:54:42,199 Speaker 2: will this impact America? Do you think if it does. 2958 02:54:44,000 --> 02:54:44,320 Speaker 5: Well. 2959 02:54:44,600 --> 02:54:47,760 Speaker 8: What this G twenty meeting showed is that oftentimes these 2960 02:54:47,800 --> 02:54:51,400 Speaker 8: international meetings go more smoothly if the United States is absent. 2961 02:54:52,240 --> 02:54:54,800 Speaker 8: You saw a hint of that also at the Climate 2962 02:54:54,879 --> 02:54:58,280 Speaker 8: change summit in Brazil just this past week as well. 2963 02:55:00,200 --> 02:55:04,480 Speaker 8: Trump ignores the fact that Prime Minister Mode of India 2964 02:55:04,520 --> 02:55:08,039 Speaker 8: showed up, the Prime Minister in Great Britain, Chris Starmers, 2965 02:55:08,120 --> 02:55:10,800 Speaker 8: or Chris Starmers showed up, President of Macrone of France, 2966 02:55:10,920 --> 02:55:17,480 Speaker 8: Chancellor Mertz Germany, Prime Minister Carney of Canada not mentioned, 2967 02:55:17,520 --> 02:55:20,200 Speaker 8: not to mention, a number of other leaders. And so 2968 02:55:20,760 --> 02:55:25,640 Speaker 8: just because the United States becomes petulant and decides to boycott, 2969 02:55:26,160 --> 02:55:28,280 Speaker 8: that doesn't mean that there will be followers. 2970 02:55:29,560 --> 02:55:32,000 Speaker 2: But does this pave the way for China to move in? 2971 02:55:32,080 --> 02:55:35,160 Speaker 2: Because now the African leaders have seen that China wants 2972 02:55:35,200 --> 02:55:37,720 Speaker 2: to come in and instead of the United States and 2973 02:55:37,879 --> 02:55:39,959 Speaker 2: Donald Trump wants to lecture them, but the China wants 2974 02:55:40,000 --> 02:55:41,520 Speaker 2: to come and say, hey, let's work together, how can 2975 02:55:41,560 --> 02:55:43,560 Speaker 2: we make some money. Do you you think that said 2976 02:55:43,760 --> 02:55:46,640 Speaker 2: it gives them a good footing or solid footing on 2977 02:55:46,680 --> 02:55:48,760 Speaker 2: the content as opposed to the US, or does see 2978 02:55:48,760 --> 02:55:51,119 Speaker 2: the United States don't want to be involved in Africa. 2979 02:55:51,360 --> 02:55:52,119 Speaker 4: How do you read it? 2980 02:55:53,200 --> 02:55:56,720 Speaker 8: Well, the United States, speaking of mister Trump, has spent 2981 02:55:57,280 --> 02:56:01,120 Speaker 8: an ordinate amount of time insulting Africa, replete with so 2982 02:56:01,200 --> 02:56:04,879 Speaker 8: called s whole nations, according to mister Trump, threatening to 2983 02:56:05,000 --> 02:56:10,120 Speaker 8: invade Nigeria, guns of blazing, ambushing President of South Africa 2984 02:56:10,160 --> 02:56:14,600 Speaker 8: in the Oval office, for example. So mister Trump has 2985 02:56:14,640 --> 02:56:19,080 Speaker 8: made clear that Africa is is not on his list 2986 02:56:19,080 --> 02:56:23,680 Speaker 8: of priorities, and Africa has returned to disfavor by saying 2987 02:56:24,240 --> 02:56:26,680 Speaker 8: the United States is not on our list of priorities, 2988 02:56:26,720 --> 02:56:29,200 Speaker 8: particularly when there's an alternative in Beijing. 2989 02:56:30,640 --> 02:56:32,840 Speaker 2: Are we seen the decline of the United States as 2990 02:56:33,120 --> 02:56:38,560 Speaker 2: the world's pre eminent economy As China passed us by, 2991 02:56:40,240 --> 02:56:42,080 Speaker 2: people are going to be talking about the United States 2992 02:56:42,120 --> 02:56:44,560 Speaker 2: as something that is a pasted, you know, a relic 2993 02:56:44,760 --> 02:56:45,280 Speaker 2: pretty soon. 2994 02:56:45,520 --> 02:56:49,800 Speaker 8: How do you see, Well, it's not only myself who's 2995 02:56:49,920 --> 02:56:53,520 Speaker 8: been arguing with us for a number of years, but others, 2996 02:56:53,680 --> 02:56:57,879 Speaker 8: even the business press, you'll notice numerous articles about the 2997 02:56:57,920 --> 02:57:01,720 Speaker 8: decline of the United States of America. By some measures, 2998 02:57:01,879 --> 02:57:05,760 Speaker 8: the Chinese economy was larger than the United States economy 2999 02:57:05,760 --> 02:57:11,240 Speaker 8: as early as twenty fourteen, and that trend inevitably will continue. 3000 02:57:12,160 --> 02:57:15,440 Speaker 8: If you look ahead to twenty fifty, it's unclear if 3001 02:57:15,520 --> 02:57:17,920 Speaker 8: even the United States will be the number two economy. 3002 02:57:18,320 --> 02:57:23,280 Speaker 8: India will probably occupy that slot, for example. So this 3003 02:57:23,959 --> 02:57:28,600 Speaker 8: was not inevitable. There were a number of miscalculations by 3004 02:57:28,800 --> 02:57:31,600 Speaker 8: Washington and by Wall Street that has led to this result. 3005 02:57:32,800 --> 02:57:37,360 Speaker 8: Question is will they pay a price for their misdeeds 3006 02:57:37,400 --> 02:57:38,279 Speaker 8: and misdoings. 3007 02:57:39,959 --> 02:57:43,400 Speaker 2: The reaction by the Democrats they seem to almost be 3008 02:57:43,600 --> 02:57:46,480 Speaker 2: complicit with this. They don't seem to be really coming 3009 02:57:46,520 --> 02:57:49,720 Speaker 2: out full throated against Donald Trump and his policies. 3010 02:57:50,480 --> 02:57:51,240 Speaker 4: How do you see them? 3011 02:57:51,280 --> 02:57:54,200 Speaker 2: Are they sitting aside hoping that it collapses and they 3012 02:57:54,200 --> 02:57:57,440 Speaker 2: can blame the Republicans and look good because it didn't 3013 02:57:57,440 --> 02:57:58,480 Speaker 2: happen on a their watch. 3014 02:58:00,080 --> 02:58:04,640 Speaker 8: That was the advice of James Carvell, the former Clinton 3015 02:58:04,640 --> 02:58:09,360 Speaker 8: administration counselor, now eighty one years old. He suggested in 3016 02:58:09,400 --> 02:58:13,279 Speaker 8: an obed some months ago, precisely that that the Democrats 3017 02:58:13,280 --> 02:58:16,280 Speaker 8: should sit on their hands and then wait for everything 3018 02:58:16,320 --> 02:58:19,880 Speaker 8: to collapse, and then they'll come rushing in blaming their 3019 02:58:19,879 --> 02:58:25,720 Speaker 8: Republicans for the collapse. That seems utterly cynical, but it 3020 02:58:25,800 --> 02:58:31,080 Speaker 8: may have been the project of this withdrawal on the 3021 02:58:31,160 --> 02:58:36,120 Speaker 8: government shutdown, where the government was shut down for forty 3022 02:58:36,120 --> 02:58:40,760 Speaker 8: plus a day supposedly over healthcare premiums, and then the 3023 02:58:40,760 --> 02:58:46,119 Speaker 8: government was reopened without any Republican real concessions of healthcare premiums, 3024 02:58:46,120 --> 02:58:49,200 Speaker 8: which by the way, are abound to go up spectacularly 3025 02:58:49,800 --> 02:58:51,240 Speaker 8: within the next few weeks. 3026 02:58:52,840 --> 02:58:56,560 Speaker 2: Well, you know, they they complained about Obamacare, dodr Horn, 3027 02:58:56,879 --> 02:58:59,039 Speaker 2: but if still they don't have a they don't have 3028 02:58:59,080 --> 02:59:01,800 Speaker 2: an alternative. They've had what about twenty years to come 3029 02:59:01,879 --> 02:59:03,400 Speaker 2: up with One's what's the problem? 3030 02:59:04,600 --> 02:59:07,600 Speaker 8: Well, I think you should reasonably infer that they don't 3031 02:59:07,600 --> 02:59:10,520 Speaker 8: have a plan. They don't even have a concept of 3032 02:59:10,560 --> 02:59:14,440 Speaker 8: a plan, as mister Trump said in his debate with 3033 02:59:14,560 --> 02:59:18,360 Speaker 8: Kamala Harris about a year or so ago. And so 3034 02:59:19,480 --> 02:59:23,720 Speaker 8: part of the problem is that the Maga Basse, although 3035 02:59:24,080 --> 02:59:28,879 Speaker 8: racked with internal cleavages, they're still hanging on to mister 3036 02:59:28,959 --> 02:59:34,160 Speaker 8: Trump for dear life because they feel that somehow he 3037 02:59:34,280 --> 02:59:37,560 Speaker 8: will pull the rabbit out of the hat and somehow 3038 02:59:38,920 --> 02:59:40,840 Speaker 8: direct them to the pot of gold at the end 3039 02:59:40,879 --> 02:59:41,520 Speaker 8: of the rainbow. 3040 02:59:42,879 --> 02:59:45,520 Speaker 2: Nine minutes away from the top of albm with doctor 3041 02:59:45,600 --> 02:59:47,120 Speaker 2: Joel and Josh Holl let's let's go back to the 3042 02:59:47,160 --> 02:59:50,120 Speaker 2: continent for a moment. What's going on in Molly and 3043 02:59:50,560 --> 02:59:53,440 Speaker 2: Bikino Fasha two of this is all nations. 3044 02:59:54,040 --> 02:59:57,680 Speaker 8: Well, what's going on is an explosion of religious zelts, 3045 02:59:58,160 --> 03:00:02,840 Speaker 8: that's to say, the religious extremists who call themselves Muslim. 3046 03:00:03,840 --> 03:00:08,920 Speaker 8: They have a impending blockade on Bambaco, the capital of 3047 03:00:09,000 --> 03:00:14,279 Speaker 8: Mali in Burkina Fasso. Of course, they are attacking relentlessly 3048 03:00:14,879 --> 03:00:20,160 Speaker 8: the government of mister Trori, the charismatic leader. Something similar 3049 03:00:20,280 --> 03:00:25,840 Speaker 8: is happening in Niger, the third member of that progressive trio. 3050 03:00:26,760 --> 03:00:29,000 Speaker 8: And then I'm sure you've seen the stories coming out 3051 03:00:29,000 --> 03:00:35,160 Speaker 8: of Northern Nigeria. Although we reject unilaterally the allegations and 3052 03:00:35,240 --> 03:00:39,720 Speaker 8: proposals of Nicki Minaj, the fact is that these reactionaries 3053 03:00:39,760 --> 03:00:45,120 Speaker 8: who call themselves a Muslim are busily kidnapping Christian children, 3054 03:00:45,160 --> 03:00:48,640 Speaker 8: although to be fair, they also are wreaking havoc on 3055 03:00:48,680 --> 03:00:53,560 Speaker 8: their fellow Muslim populations as well, and there needs to 3056 03:00:53,560 --> 03:00:56,800 Speaker 8: be something done, But the United States going in with 3057 03:00:56,879 --> 03:01:02,200 Speaker 8: guns ablaze ablazing is the worst possible remedy. If the 3058 03:01:02,280 --> 03:01:05,760 Speaker 8: United States wants to help, they should consult with the 3059 03:01:05,800 --> 03:01:10,080 Speaker 8: government of President Tanubu and ask what he needs and 3060 03:01:10,160 --> 03:01:14,279 Speaker 8: then try to assist that government. But going into Nigeria 3061 03:01:14,360 --> 03:01:17,279 Speaker 8: over the heads of the government, that's obviously a bridge 3062 03:01:17,280 --> 03:01:17,600 Speaker 8: too far. 3063 03:01:18,680 --> 03:01:21,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, ate away from the top of doctor Horne. Let's 3064 03:01:21,800 --> 03:01:27,240 Speaker 2: go to East Africa, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Tigeray to Gray. Have 3065 03:01:27,360 --> 03:01:28,600 Speaker 2: they getting him back to a war? 3066 03:01:29,920 --> 03:01:34,560 Speaker 8: It's possible. Sadly enough, Ethiopia has made it clear that 3067 03:01:35,440 --> 03:01:38,400 Speaker 8: it not only wants an outlet to the sea. When 3068 03:01:38,680 --> 03:01:44,000 Speaker 8: Eritrea seceded from Ethiopia some decades ago, it removed its 3069 03:01:44,080 --> 03:01:49,360 Speaker 8: major port. Ethiopia has conflicts with Somalia, which in turn 3070 03:01:50,040 --> 03:01:55,400 Speaker 8: is being bolstered by Egypt, and then into Great Province. 3071 03:01:55,640 --> 03:01:59,240 Speaker 8: You know that for months there was a very bloody 3072 03:01:59,280 --> 03:02:04,199 Speaker 8: conflict betweing that province and the leaders of the centralized 3073 03:02:04,240 --> 03:02:07,920 Speaker 8: government and as Ambaba. There's still a lot of discontent 3074 03:02:08,120 --> 03:02:12,280 Speaker 8: into Great and that situation could boil over any day. 3075 03:02:12,320 --> 03:02:12,600 Speaker 14: Now. 3076 03:02:13,480 --> 03:02:15,400 Speaker 2: I got to ask you a sports question for I'll 3077 03:02:15,480 --> 03:02:18,160 Speaker 2: let you go and I should I should? 3078 03:02:18,240 --> 03:02:18,520 Speaker 4: Should? 3079 03:02:18,520 --> 03:02:22,000 Speaker 2: I Sander's got his first start in the NFL for 3080 03:02:22,320 --> 03:02:26,600 Speaker 2: Cleveland and the uh the coaches saying this is not 3081 03:02:27,959 --> 03:02:30,160 Speaker 2: in stone that he'll start the next game What is 3082 03:02:30,200 --> 03:02:33,840 Speaker 2: this coach missing is what's what's going on with that franchise? 3083 03:02:33,879 --> 03:02:35,800 Speaker 2: And should Sanders. 3084 03:02:36,800 --> 03:02:41,480 Speaker 8: Well, obviously he is not favored, otherwise he would have 3085 03:02:41,520 --> 03:02:46,840 Speaker 8: been starting before Dylan Gabriel his processor got hurt, got hurt, 3086 03:02:47,000 --> 03:02:52,199 Speaker 8: for example. I think that there's obviously a backlash against 3087 03:02:52,200 --> 03:02:57,600 Speaker 8: his father, the charismatic Dion Sanders coach prime who's having 3088 03:02:57,640 --> 03:03:00,960 Speaker 8: a tough season with the Colorado Buffalo for example. As 3089 03:03:01,000 --> 03:03:04,040 Speaker 8: a matter of fact, there's been talked about his being 3090 03:03:04,080 --> 03:03:08,120 Speaker 8: an unemployment line or at least not returning as coach 3091 03:03:08,240 --> 03:03:10,600 Speaker 8: if his record does not improve shortly. 3092 03:03:12,680 --> 03:03:15,400 Speaker 2: And doctor Horn, as I mentioned, you've written several books. 3093 03:03:15,400 --> 03:03:17,600 Speaker 2: What is your latest book and where can we get it? 3094 03:03:18,760 --> 03:03:22,040 Speaker 8: So the Capital of Slavery, Washington, d c. Eighteen hundred 3095 03:03:22,080 --> 03:03:24,640 Speaker 8: to eighteen sixty five. You can get it in Sankofa 3096 03:03:24,680 --> 03:03:28,920 Speaker 8: in Washington or better bookstores elsewhere, probably at Red Emma's 3097 03:03:29,120 --> 03:03:32,400 Speaker 8: in Baltimore. I have another book coming out in the 3098 03:03:32,480 --> 03:03:35,520 Speaker 8: spring which I've just made reference to. 3099 03:03:35,720 --> 03:03:37,480 Speaker 7: That is to say, these. 3100 03:03:37,200 --> 03:03:40,280 Speaker 8: Conflicts at the end of the nineteenth century between the 3101 03:03:40,360 --> 03:03:43,520 Speaker 8: United States and Hawaii and the Philippines. Part of the plan, 3102 03:03:43,720 --> 03:03:47,160 Speaker 8: as noted, was to deport the US Negroes into the Pacific. 3103 03:03:47,920 --> 03:03:51,920 Speaker 8: It did not happen for various reasons. And then I'm 3104 03:03:51,959 --> 03:03:56,840 Speaker 8: writing right now a book on the slave trade, the 3105 03:03:56,920 --> 03:04:01,760 Speaker 8: Trans Saharan slave trade. Morocco was a major culprit in 3106 03:04:01,800 --> 03:04:05,680 Speaker 8: the slave trade, this Transaharent slave trade, but also Egypt. 3107 03:04:06,280 --> 03:04:10,200 Speaker 8: Egypt has a lot to apologize for with regard to 3108 03:04:11,240 --> 03:04:15,199 Speaker 8: the enslavement of Nubians, with regard to its contemporary policies. 3109 03:04:15,640 --> 03:04:20,600 Speaker 8: Recalled that it boycotted Kevin Hark, the comic and actor, 3110 03:04:21,480 --> 03:04:25,440 Speaker 8: after he expressed the true history of Egypt in terms 3111 03:04:25,440 --> 03:04:32,000 Speaker 8: of the influence from Nubia, for example. It also played 3112 03:04:32,040 --> 03:04:36,440 Speaker 8: a similar number on Jada Pink and Smith after she 3113 03:04:36,640 --> 03:04:41,200 Speaker 8: was trying to produce a biopic about Cleopatrack that pursued 3114 03:04:41,240 --> 03:04:43,800 Speaker 8: her that portrayed her as a melon and rich woman. 3115 03:04:44,480 --> 03:04:49,039 Speaker 8: There's a lot of anxiety obviously in Egypt about darker 3116 03:04:49,120 --> 03:04:51,000 Speaker 8: skinned people, and they really need to come to grips 3117 03:04:51,040 --> 03:04:51,240 Speaker 8: with that. 3118 03:04:53,160 --> 03:04:55,760 Speaker 2: Shay on that one before we let you go?
