It's all 19 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: I can say. 20 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: It shows and it was a great game too, because 21 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: you know they came for it behind, so it looked good. 22 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I know people have their doubts, but I'm 23 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: sure Commanders fans all along knew that they would pull 24 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: it out. But you know, for a while they look 25 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,199 Speaker 1: kind of iffy, but they did pull it out. 26 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I must admit that I fell asleep during during 27 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 2: the losing part of the game. 28 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: Ye know. The comeback was great? Uh and bread then again, 29 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: the Chargers helped the quarterback throwing a pick in the 30 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: dying moments. It didn't help either, so happened. 31 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, oh oh, I see. 32 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 2: It's always good to see an interception though, and that's 33 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: exciting in football. 34 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: Well, that depends on what team you're on. I'm sure 35 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: Charges fans were Charges fans were probably mightily upset because 36 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: they were down there close to the goal line and 37 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: they did you throw a pick? Lie? Why don't you 38 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: just run the ball in? I mean you just who 39 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: made that call? I mean, come, the quarterback do a snake? 40 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: Couldn't he hand it off? Couldn't you keep running? But 41 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: he threw and he threw a pick, and he kept 42 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: throwing when they were down there and near the end 43 00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: so on, So I don't know. 44 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 2: So you know, newsflash, they got those coaches on the 45 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: side for a reason, right, And they say do the 46 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 2: run opposed to the past, and so they've got to 47 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: do that. And so meanwhile, it was good news for 48 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 2: the hometown team. And you know, that's all I'm saying. 49 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 2: But look, I did not ask how are you feeling, 50 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 2: my brother? 51 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: Oh oh, to my microphone. I'm still learning, Kevin, I'm 52 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: still learning the microphone. Turn on the microphone. But here 53 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: here too. You know, we got to credit the Commander's 54 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: defense as well, because they did that goal. Lion stand 55 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: was really incredible. So yeah, so you got to credit 56 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: them this round, right, right, because. 57 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 2: They are envisioning being in the playoffs and and winning 58 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: the championship this year. 59 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 3: They're envisioning it. So that's how you manifest things. 60 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: You know, you think positively and you continually work consistently 61 00:02:58,720 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 2: in that direction. 62 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 3: That's that's the way I see it, man. 63 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: But Kevin, meanwhile, up the road, the Ravens have some problems. 64 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: You know, they lost to the Texans forty fourteen. They 65 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: I'm not sure you know, the prior the start of 66 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: the season, people were talking about playoffs and they were 67 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 1: all excited, hit by a couple of injuries and stuff, 68 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: and they've just lost another game and next week, uh, 69 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: who they play next week. I'm not sure they play 70 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: the Rams next week, so play La Rams next week, 71 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: while the Commanders will play Baltimore. So you know, those 72 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: are the games for next week. So you know, like news, 73 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: that's that's over, Like the coaches that will tell them 74 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: that after today when they come back to practice on Tuesday. 75 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: Forget about that. Let's let's look for the upcoming games. 76 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: For the Commanders, they play Chicago and also the Ravens 77 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,839 Speaker 1: are going to play La Rams, so it's y yeah, 78 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: forget about that, you know, and the Chiefs and the 79 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: Jaguars tonight for all the football fans, you know, Kansas 80 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: City chief and the Jacksonville Jaggers in the Monday night 81 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: football game. 82 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: Anyway, this isn't a sports report, broh. 83 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 3: Let's talk about the government shut down. 84 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: Now, yeah, let's talk about the shutdown, Kevin, what is. 85 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 3: Going on with that? Come on, Congress, get to act together. 86 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 2: It's the fifth day of the government shut down, and 87 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 2: there's a little sign of progress as federal employees across 88 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 2: the country and other Americans begin to feel the effects. Meanwhile, 89 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 2: President Donald Trump has embraced the political battle. He tow 90 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: CNN that Republicans are winning and express confidence and a 91 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,559 Speaker 2: positive outcome, though quiet concerns have emerged in his orbit 92 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: about political damage from the set down. 93 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: And you know, let me tell me, here's the second Keviny. 94 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: You know, he's telling CNN that, but all the polls 95 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: show that most people blame the Republicans for the shutdown. 96 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: So he's trying to reverse that narrative because all the polls, 97 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: every single poll now blames the Republicans for the shutdown. 98 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: So he gone on CNN. Hopefully he's trying to because 99 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: he can convince his followers. So he goes on to CNN, 100 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: and hopefully he convinced those folks who listen to them, 101 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: because you know, the country's so polarized, man, people listen 102 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: to for the most part, they just you know, they 103 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: listen if they listen to Fox. They only listen to Fox. 104 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: If you notice, you know, people call that state media. 105 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 1: And then people listen to CNN. Just listen to CNN 106 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: or watch CNN, say and watch Fox. So he goes 107 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: over there trying to convince them, because he'll tell his people, 108 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: we're winning, we're winning. You know, they blaming the Democrats 109 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: and the Democrats, but the posts don't show them, and 110 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: unfortunately many of his folks they don't. They don't research, 111 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: or they don't do anything else. They only they're locked 112 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: into that state media reporting, so they don't know the 113 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: other side of the story. 114 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's incredible just watching this non work in Congress, 115 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 2: because aren't they the majority. Aren't the Republicans the majority? 116 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 2: All they needed was what three maybe four Democrats to 117 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 2: join in with them, but they lost two votes from 118 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 2: the Republicans about this shutdown. Meanwhile, they couldn't even walk 119 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 2: across the aisle and give a friendly gesture. In other news, 120 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 2: Trump tells the Navy sailors. 121 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: Well, before you go to the sailors, you know, before 122 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: you go to sales camp. This is important because I 123 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: think if they shutdown, if they a federal employees didn't 124 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: get paid as well, including Donald Trump because he's a 125 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: federal employee. I think they've come up with a solution 126 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: real quick. But they're getting paid well, many of them. 127 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: I just most of them earn more money than the 128 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: average American, most of them and the millionaire status who 129 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: represent us on Capitol Hill. So that's that's one instant. 130 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: And then the ripple effect that this takes you know, 131 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: if you can't pay your rent, your car note, or 132 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: you're going to be late, it's going to be on 133 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: your credit. That means the cleaners doesn't get paid. He 134 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: he's got to slow, he's got he's got to pay 135 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: his employees. So the ripple effect that the people, the 136 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: people aren't talking about the shutdown is to the economy. 137 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: But go ahead, Yeah, that's. 138 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 3: True, that's true, Carl. 139 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 2: We don't want to overlook the fact that you know, 140 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: it's it's paycheck to paycheck and yet there's no paycheck coming. 141 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 2: So that can definitely cause quite an effect on people 142 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 2: that are shut off that I shut down, but they're 143 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 2: part of the shutdown right now and with no end 144 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 2: in sight. It's just unreal it's surrealistic. 145 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 3: Is that a good word for it. 146 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 2: So, getting back to the Navy, you know, because being 147 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 2: a former Navy guy myself, the President told the service 148 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 2: members who may be concerned about their pay during the shutdown, now, 149 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: don't worry, don't worry about it. We will get our 150 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 2: service members every last penny. That's what he said. And 151 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 2: he's got a big round of applause and cheers from 152 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: the crowd. While addressing the attendees of the two hundred 153 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 2: and fiftieth anniversary of the United States Navy in my 154 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 2: home area, Norfolk, Virginia. It's all coming, he says, it's coming, 155 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: and even more because I'm supporting the across the board 156 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: pay raises for every sailor and a service member in 157 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 2: the United States Armed Services. 158 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: What do you think of that? Well, they applaud that. 159 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: But on the other hand, too, he's talked about he's 160 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: gonna a good chance for me to fire some federal workers, 161 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: people who work for the Federal Gunnery. They're gonna do 162 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: their jobs. He's going to use this opportunity and he's 163 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: gonna even push through to make some changes during this 164 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: they shut down. If you will that that it would 165 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: be hard for the Democrats whenever the shutdown is over 166 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: to reverse. So those are things you got to keep 167 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: an eye. And I'm sure that the people in the 168 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: Navy applaud that they're going to get a raise, and 169 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see. You know, he's made a lot 170 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: of promises. We can recall some of the promises he 171 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: made earlier. It's going to stop the war in twenty 172 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: four hours. Hasn't stopped the war yet. Some of the 173 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: promise he made when he was on the campaign trail. 174 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: So we'll see. 175 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 2: And meanwhile, it's still continually playing the blame game. 176 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 3: It wasn't me, it was them. 177 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: It wasn't us, it was them, it wasn't them, it 178 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: was their mindset. 179 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 3: It's it's just incredible, man. 180 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: But you know what came. That's interesting that you say that, 181 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: because at some point you've got to take self responsibility. 182 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: You can't find Biden. You know, everything it's Biden's it's 183 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: even oh a bomber, it's Biden. 184 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 4: You know. 185 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: So even if it is even if you could pin 186 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: the mistake or whatever the problem on buying, you can't 187 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: do it. All the time. You've been in there now 188 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: quite a bit. You've can effect changed that you said 189 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: you're going. She still can't be using that excuse. So 190 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: it just botherles the mind that people some people will 191 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: still buy that and it's still using that crutches. It's 192 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: Biden's economy. It's a Biden who did this? Is by 193 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: you know, it's just man, come on, what did you do? 194 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 3: You know you signed up for the gig to be 195 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 3: a leader. 196 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 2: Now lead, So I'm gonna say that's the way it 197 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 2: is coll because we could go on and on with this. 198 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 2: It's the sixth of October six twelve, and we've got 199 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 2: Kim Poole's standing. Thanks for your time. 200 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: Thanks Kevin. Thanks you keep us updated on what's going 201 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: on in the world. This morning, family, let's bring in 202 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 1: our next guest. She's a cultural if you will, or 203 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: reparations advocate coming out of Baltimore. Kim Pool. Welcome back 204 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: to the program. 205 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 5: Wow, thank you, Carl. I didn't realize reparations was added 206 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 5: to my title. 207 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 2: Now. 208 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 5: I guess our organization has done an awful lot this 209 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 5: year in light of the fact that this is the 210 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 5: African Union's Year of reparations and reparatory justice for Africans 211 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 5: on the continent and in the diaspoor where we are, 212 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 5: and I think now it's important for us to realize 213 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 5: that connection between your work or our work, whatever work 214 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 5: you're doing, being able to find it on that reparatory 215 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 5: justice a healing spectrum. I think it is important. So 216 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 5: I guess it's okay if you add that to the title. 217 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: Oh, of course, But you've got some reporting to tell 218 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: us about what have you been up to. 219 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 5: My god, it's been several months since I've been on 220 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 5: the show, I honestly don't even know when to start. 221 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 5: Since we got back in May or maybe during June tenth, 222 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 5: we've literally, as an organization's circumnavigated the Pan African world 223 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 5: this year. In July, we went to Malabo, Equatorial Guinea 224 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 5: by the invitation of the African Union ECHOSAK, the Economic, 225 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 5: Social and Cultural Council, and I was invited invited there 226 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 5: to speak about what is our reparatory future. I think 227 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 5: that is maybe one of the major disconnects between those 228 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 5: that within our community. I'm just talking about us talking 229 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 5: to us global African people having this discussion around reparatory 230 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 5: justice and healing. What is it that is owed to us? 231 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 5: But what do we owe ourselves? Where's the line between 232 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 5: acknowledging what has happened to us and how that has 233 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 5: potectually continued to affect us because of maybe even some 234 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 5: of the malady within us, what we now contribute to 235 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 5: the problem. So on the continent, they're focused on the 236 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 5: illicit flow of resources out of the continent. They're focused 237 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 5: on things that are what I call triage, you know, 238 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 5: life or death situations like the war in Congo or 239 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 5: in Sudan and the civil wars that still arise sometimes 240 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 5: in Ethiopia. Whereas the reparations advocates that in large part 241 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 5: have been training me over the years, the ones that 242 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 5: I've worked with even in recent years, like doctor Royan Daniels, etc. 243 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 5: They're talking about what happened, you know, five hundred years ago. 244 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 5: They're talking about the progenitors of the oppression that we 245 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 5: are overcoming with the Roman Catholic Church in fourteen fifty 246 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 5: two and the Papa Bulls, and so they're wondering on 247 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 5: the continent, how can we reconcile and digest that when 248 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 5: we just trying to get through the day. But for me, 249 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 5: as an artist working in both regions, I can relate 250 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 5: to both stories because I'm the living proof and embodiment 251 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 5: of both. I'm from Baltimore. We are just trying to 252 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 5: get through the day. We are trying to survive. Many 253 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 5: of the young people in Park Heights, where our teaching Artists, Institute, 254 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 5: Artists and residence is based, they're just trying to get 255 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 5: through the day. So I know what it's like to 256 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 5: have to overcome and survive on a daily basis with 257 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 5: the daily grind and still have to be future oriented. 258 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 5: But what we know in the African worldview is that past, 259 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 5: present and future is the same time. Our ancestors are 260 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 5: present our future, we're developing it now and we are 261 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 5: the living bridge between past and present, embodying that moment. 262 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 5: And art helps to reinforce that. And so this past 263 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 5: July in Malaibo in Equatorial Guinea, we had conversations around 264 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 5: the heritage future and I did that alongside even the 265 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 5: new leadership of the African Union in there. What they 266 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 5: call the architecture, the infratecture, infrastructure and Architecture of government 267 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 5: a g A is what they call it. And so 268 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 5: I'm still learning about all the organs and uh, you know, 269 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 5: I get thanks and I'm humbled to be able to 270 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 5: learn on the job and knowing that I'm prepared because 271 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 5: of this ancient bloodline that runs through me for anything 272 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 5: that's given, and I always get thanks for the opportunity. 273 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 5: In the next month in August, honestly, I've been in Ghana. 274 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 5: In between Ghana, Uganda and Kenya, we had incredible conversations 275 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 5: with the Church of Uganda. What I said is, how 276 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 5: can we take what is really abstract reparations? How can 277 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 5: we take it out of the hands of only governments, 278 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 5: h you know, government to civil society conversations and bring 279 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 5: in other actors U that had benefited. 280 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 6: And so we had a co Kim holder. 281 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: Though right there, we're gonna step aside for a few 282 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: moments and we come back. I'll let you finish telling 283 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: your story.

Thank Grand Rising family, 296 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: thanks for waking up with us on this Monday morning. 297 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: I guess is a Baltimore active is Kim Pool Kim 298 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: give us an update on the culture reparations mission that 299 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: she's been on. So, Kim, i'm' let you finish your 300 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: thought and then also, you know, tell us about the 301 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: reaction or that you received all these different African nations 302 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: that you visited. How did they react to you? 303 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 7: Sure? 304 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 5: So I was telling you that we this past late summer, 305 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 5: we went to Uganda and we're literally at the point 306 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 5: in our organization's mission and cultural reparations where we're meeting 307 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 5: with faith leaders and interfaith bodies around land return. And 308 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 5: so that is, in my opinion and now on behalf 309 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 5: of our organization, a really concrete way to begin to 310 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 5: engage you know, faith based leadership. The Roman Catholic Church 311 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 5: is one of the largest landholders globally, and so if 312 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 5: they would simply begin to give the land back to 313 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 5: the people in ways that can be managed cooperatively, we 314 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 5: see this as a healthy step in the right direction 315 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 5: for our repair to future. But you asked, how do 316 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 5: they treat me? Honestly, it's not as this. I don't 317 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 5: understand the tribalism that I've gone into when I enter 318 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 5: the continent because sometimes we over romanticize what Africa is 319 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 5: while we were enslaved and overcoming enslavement and the diaspora 320 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 5: on the continent, they were colonized. And it's one thing 321 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 5: when you can always say to yourself, man, if they 322 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 5: had just left me at home, everything would be all right, 323 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 5: all our problems would be solved, had they never just 324 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 5: picked me up. It's another thing when somebody comes into 325 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 5: your own house and tells you that your language isn't 326 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 5: good enough, that your religion isn't good enough, that you know, 327 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 5: Jay Fran the Francophone mindset that colonization. If I can 328 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 5: be a good Frenchman France Finan's black skinned white mask, 329 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 5: if I. 330 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 8: Can just be the best Frenchman, speak, the best friend. 331 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 5: Then I'll be better. That inferiority complex and it is 332 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 5: what I think perpetuates the tribalism, the need to separate. 333 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 5: And so when I go to the continent, I get it. 334 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 5: You know, I'm gonna tribe the same way that they 335 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 5: create everybody else. But for me, I think it's fair, 336 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 5: right I am in a tribe. I'm black. We didn't 337 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 5: stop being African when they picked me up against my 338 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 5: will and brought me to these shores. In the diaspora, 339 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 5: you know, I understand that we came before Columbus, but 340 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 5: I'm talking about this new institution that my direct bloodline 341 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 5: is connected to. And so we still developed a culture 342 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 5: within a culture here on this soil, and so we 343 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 5: do have our own tribe. And I know, you know 344 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 5: a lot of people when they go to Africa, they 345 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 5: become more African. They take on African names and sometimes 346 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 5: African religions, and that connects them closer to the africanity. 347 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 5: But what connected me closer to my Africanity was when 348 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 5: I went to Africa, it made me more Black. I 349 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 5: started seeing the Africanity in the institutions that I developed 350 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 5: as a part of my lineax like the family reunion. 351 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 5: This summer, I had my own family reunion. We do 352 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 5: it bi annually. That's so African of us to want 353 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 5: to gather that way, and so it made me appreciate that. 354 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 5: And when I come to the continent, they see me 355 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 5: as a part of the family. Now, our organization we're 356 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 5: a decade old. We've been working in these regions for 357 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 5: ten years now, and it's something about passion when it 358 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 5: meets consistency that African people and the continent respect because 359 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 5: they're so accustomed to people being fly by night to 360 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 5: come in and doing a lot of talk and not 361 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 5: doing the work. But we're boots on the ground in 362 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 5: each region where we work. When we do our cultural 363 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 5: immersions and our study abroad programs and facilitate that cross 364 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 5: cultural exchange. We're only doing that in regions where we 365 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 5: work all year long. And I think it makes a 366 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 5: difference in how they show up when they greet you 367 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 5: at that border and. 368 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: You land all right twenty five to the top there. Bob 369 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: and Buffalo wants to speak were the he's online too, 370 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: grand Ris and Bobby ay just a king pool. 371 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 9: Yeah. 372 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 10: Sure. I want to give it a shit to sister Kim. 373 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 10: I want to say thank you for visiting Buffalo, and 374 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,719 Speaker 10: there's an open invitation to come back and reminder that 375 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 10: working together truly does work.

I'm definitely a Buffalo soldier. I 378 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 5: love Black Buffalo. I had no idea the community was 379 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 5: so vibrant, But when I learned about the history there 380 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 5: being there on that corridor, it just reminded me that 381 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 5: there's a Baltimore in every city and it's time for 382 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 5: us to connect the dots. Now is the time for 383 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 5: us to stop thinking hypothetically and theoretically and begin to 384 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 5: test out and practice these theories. We have to be organizers, 385 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 5: and so thank you for following the journey, and please 386 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 5: like us on Facebook, stay connected and figure out how 387 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 5: to come and be involved. I want to come back 388 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 5: to Baltimore. I want to bring the young people back 389 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 5: to Buffalo, and I want you to also consider what 390 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 5: it would look like for Buffalo to begin to travel 391 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 5: to other regions where we work our Teaching Artists Institute. 392 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 5: We work in nine countries, seven of which are on 393 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 5: the continent, and it's easier for us to go with 394 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 5: the blue passports and for many of the countries to 395 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 5: come to us. 396 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 7: So we're going to have to be. 397 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 5: The ones to go to them. And don't believe the 398 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 5: hype Old Trump is going to close the borders. We 399 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 5: need to stop being distracted by what's happening in the 400 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 5: media and what's being said to us. This is our moment, 401 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,479 Speaker 5: this is our opportunity to really operationalize Pan Africanism if 402 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 5: we pay attention. 403 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 10: Yes, just working together it does work. So let's work 404 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 10: together glasses. 405 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: All right, thanks Bob. Speaking about that, Kim, did you 406 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: get any reaction folks, any political issues, you know, the 407 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: fact that what's going on in the Trump administration for 408 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: any of your travels. 409 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, we're the lossing stock of the world. Whenever I 410 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 5: meet someone that's working to develop policy on the continent. 411 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 5: First of all, it's important that we bring artists to 412 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 5: decision making tables, and so that's a barrier in and 413 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 5: of itself, the fact that I am I'm a traditional artist, 414 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,239 Speaker 5: and that is the lens from which I work, and 415 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 5: so it's usually innovative at best and uncomfortable in the 416 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 5: worst case scenarios when I come to leadership development tables 417 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 5: or policy making tables. But even after they get over 418 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 5: that shock, the next haha is that, oh, you're from 419 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 5: the divided States. You're the lastest stock of the world. 420 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 5: Let us throw out a joke about Agent Orange or Trump. 421 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 5: They've gotten so clever and so you know they, I mean, 422 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 5: they've crafted all types of jokes. And so after we 423 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 5: laugh it off, we laugh to keep from crying because 424 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 5: we start to think about the hegemony of. 425 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 7: The English language and we think about. 426 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 5: The juggernaut that has been American politics around the world, 427 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 5: the militarization, the fast music, fast cars, fast food that's 428 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 5: really destroying every other region, and the need for us 429 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 5: to move beyond that as the center focus of our trajectory. 430 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 5: We can no longer as a community be reactionary. And 431 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 5: for me as an artist, you know, I'm very emotion 432 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 5: You know, we lead from passion, and so we love 433 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 5: to see the momentum that passion brings. But if we 434 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 5: took that same passionate energy and put it towards developing 435 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 5: our reparative future. When we have ninety percent of the 436 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 5: best minds only reacting to what's being given to us, 437 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 5: responding to the stimuli of someone else's agenda, we'll never 438 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 5: be prepared for our world remaking exercise. Reparations is a 439 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 5: world remaking exercise, and that takes creativity. We have to 440 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 5: get prepared for that process, and so we need ninety 441 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 5: percent of the best minds to be focused on what's next, 442 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 5: not preoccupied with what's put into the media. I heard 443 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 5: the conversation where me tell me. 444 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: In for a second before we go down that street, 445 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: can do they sort of identify you with Donald Trump 446 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: and what he's doing or they understand that you're not 447 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: with that. 448 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 5: No, no, no, they get it. The world sees us 449 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 5: in South Africa. They greet you in the Zulu nation 450 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 5: with soul Buona. That's it's literal translation is I see 451 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 5: you and saul Buna is present. They understand clearly that 452 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 5: you are not the America that we're talking about. That's 453 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 5: why we look at us, Kim. We can laugh about 454 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 5: this together, can't we. But the truth is is that 455 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 5: I was the first stop on Wall Street, and this 456 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 5: America is a sinking ship. And when the rise and 457 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 5: decline of this empire goes down, we're going to be 458 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 5: on the bottom barrel of this ship the same way 459 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 5: we were when they brought us here against our will, 460 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 5: if we don't figure out strategies. So I laugh to 461 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 5: keep from crying. Because though they see me as a 462 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 5: way in a part of the institution that is America, 463 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 5: I am American, I'm African American. My ancestors, blood, sweat 464 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 5: and tears built this country and my family lived here. 465 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,959 Speaker 5: I'm from Baltimore. And so as much as we travel 466 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 5: as an organization and every other region that we work, 467 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 5: when the dollar goes down in Ghana, that means higher 468 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 5: bills for us as an organization that is resourcing that area. 469 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 5: And though we're working cooperatively and we're building structures where 470 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 5: we're working, you know, as a cultural cooperative, that is 471 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 5: still a trajectory that's being actualized in real time. And 472 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 5: so I don't think they truly understand that. I too, 473 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 5: sing America and what that love hate relationship is like, 474 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 5: because even as a people, we're still trying to understand it. 475 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 7: It's like being. 476 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 5: Married to an abusive husband. It's like, I can't divorce you. 477 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 5: Everybody looks at me and they're like, why don't you 478 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 5: just leave him? But it's like, listen, that's my house, 479 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 5: that where the kids are. I can't burn it down. 480 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 5: I still live inside. 481 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: Wow, that's an answer analogy right there that you put kid, 482 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: and you put it right on the money at thirty 483 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: thirty minutes after the top down. Because I have this conversation, 484 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: you sort of do the dry bond it about you know, 485 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 1: the tipping point of it as far as this country 486 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: is and may go down, And some of the folks 487 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: were the conversation was centered on, so what do we 488 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: do because you know, Rome went down the British the 489 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: United Kingdom. For you, it went down and still they 490 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: survived after it. So what do we what move it for? 491 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: And these are the questions you're asking me, And I 492 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: figured i'd ask you, what do you think some of 493 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: the things we should be doing if it does happen? 494 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: Because people are predicting that it's going to happen. But 495 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: what do we do as black folks? We're here, Like 496 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: you said, we're sort of conflicted because we're here and 497 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: we're not here. We're we're part of it, we're not 498 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: part of it, and that's part of the confusion. So 499 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 1: just your thoughts, your personal thoughts. What do we do? 500 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: Do we run? Do we stay? 501 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 10: Or what? 502 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 5: Well? I think it's both and first and foremost, we 503 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 5: have to use the techniques that our ancestors always used, 504 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 5: our elders always used. My grandmother's ninety three year old 505 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 5: you know, she still grows her own cucumbers and tomato, 506 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 5: She still makes her own jelly, she still jars peaches, 507 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 5: and she eats seasonally. All of these lessons that our 508 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 5: ancestors had no choice but to do. In order to survive. 509 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 5: We need to take chapters from their books and re 510 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 5: implement them. Living cooperatively has always been our way, but 511 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 5: in generations we've become individualized. We've become individuals. We've got 512 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 5: all these friends on Facebook. We haven't seen real people 513 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 5: in years. I mean some of us have been inside 514 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,959 Speaker 5: since COVID and we never came back outside. Community is 515 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 5: foundational for our survival and as an organization with the 516 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 5: Teaching Artists Institute, we work locally, so not just in 517 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 5: Baltimore trying to connect East Baltimore to over west West Baltimore. 518 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 5: Not trying to encourage young people in Baltimore to get 519 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 5: on the train, on the March Train and go down 520 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 5: to DC just to see a look, it's not that 521 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 5: far away, just five dollars. We're also doing that same 522 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 5: work around the world. We're trying to be that living 523 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 5: bridge to say you don't have to figure it out 524 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 5: on your own. Let us do the feasibility study. If 525 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 5: you do need a life rasp out of here, let 526 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 5: us help you be the one that can help navigate 527 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 5: that journey. And so we think that it's going to 528 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 5: be relationships that sustain us. That has always been our way, 529 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 5: and we've gotten away from that, but we need to 530 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 5: take a chapter from our Grandparents' book. 531 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: Good Advice here twenty get Away from the top of 532 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: our Kareem's Calling from Baltimore is online too, grand Rising 533 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: caremea on with Kim Poole. 534 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 11: He's doing but the call.

It's no secret. That's the phone by the 577 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 5: bed left. Stay in touch, all. 578 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: Right, Thanks Green for checking in with us, Sister Camp. 579 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: Many of our folks don't have a passport, and right 580 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: now the government shut down. What do you say to 581 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: those folks? Do you think all of us should at 582 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: least have a passport or some people have dual citizenships 583 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: and they have two passports. Your thoughts on that? 584 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 5: So I think at a minimum you should have a passport. 585 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 12: For this country. 586 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 5: Dual citizenship is very quickly becoming the standard. When this 587 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 5: ship goes down. The Japanese, they eat Japanese, they speak Japanese, 588 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 5: and if it goes down, they're going back to Japan. 589 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 5: They have that option. The same thing with the Chinese 590 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 5: and every other community here. We are the only community 591 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 5: that was created here, literally a new tribe so to speak, 592 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 5: on this soil, and we're so severed and disconnected because 593 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 5: of the Maafa or what we call in Swahili the 594 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 5: great disaster. But having an opportunity to have another passport 595 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 5: is now being afforded to us. Don't miss that boat, 596 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 5: because we're trying to help facilitate that bridge. So what 597 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 5: we based on two thousand and three the African Union 598 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 5: Article three Q. They say that we are legally the 599 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 5: sixth region, meaning people of African descent living outside of Africa. 600 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 5: That's not a theory now that is legislated, and so 601 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 5: now member states on the continent are making opportunities for 602 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 5: us to have dual citizenship simply because of our DNA testing. 603 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 5: You have in credible scholars like doctor Gina Page right 604 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 5: down the street in DC. She has African Ancestry dot Com. 605 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 5: And if you geographically map your DNA and it says 606 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 5: that you're from Benith or if you're from Sierra Leone, 607 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 5: I mean, these are just a few of those countries 608 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 5: that are willing to give you dual citizenship. And what 609 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 5: we're saying is that in addition to Ghana, which everybody loved. 610 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 5: We loved Ghana. 611 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: Hold I thought right there, Kim, we got to step 612 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: aside and get caught up on the latest news.

But 628 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: again we respect you teachers, So go ahead and take 629 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: care of our young people when you go to class 630 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: this morning. If maybe something that you heard on the radio, 631 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: you can share with our young people as well. Later 632 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: this morning, we're gonna hear from former FBI agent doctor 633 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: Tyrone Powers. Also joining us will be a scientist and 634 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: medical doctor Keith Crawford. We have some brilliant folks in 635 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: our community family, and they just don't get the spotlight. 636 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: And that's what we try to do here. And so 637 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: what we do when you hear them, don't keep it yourself. 638 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: Invite a friend to listen and it can grow with us.

I taught at Northwestern High School in Northwest 655 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 5: Baltimore and Park Heights and Upper Park Heights, and so 656 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 5: I know that that institution is broken, and those teachers 657 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,760 Speaker 5: that are there in the belly of the beast holding 658 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 5: the line for our young people, you know they need support, 659 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 5: and so the Teaching Artists Institute is here to provide 660 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 5: that expeditionary learning. Our young people have to be immersed 661 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 5: into the world to learn about it. There's not much 662 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 5: you can do inside that classroom. Technology is a gift, 663 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 5: it can be a tool, but our young people they 664 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 5: need activation of the hypo campus. They need to be 665 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 5: able to feel and see the soil that they're talking 666 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 5: about in science class and that is a part of 667 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 5: what service the Teaching Artists Institute offers. And so if 668 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 5: you are an educator preparing your curriculum, your field trips, 669 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 5: so to speak, for the school year, please consider using us. 670 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 5: TIE Tours dot org at gmail dot com is our 671 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 5: email address. We're working right now with the ASO Africa 672 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,359 Speaker 5: Program and we have a group of young people this 673 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 5: past May that we took to Ghana. The impact of 674 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 5: that experience these young people, I think the name of 675 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 5: their school is connections. Now it used to be called 676 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,919 Speaker 5: Lamel right outside of mondomenmaul Us. Taking those twenty five 677 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 5: young people to Ghana change their worldview. They talked about 678 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 5: it in their graduation speeches. As they graduated out of 679 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 5: the school and on to college, some of them considered 680 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 5: different careers because of that experience. They need to travel. 681 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 5: It's not a necessity. It is a birthright experience. So 682 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 5: we were talking in our distracted because you talked about 683 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 5: educators and educating our young people is at the heart 684 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:09,359 Speaker 5: of our work. Intergenerational dialogue and cultural exchange is what 685 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,720 Speaker 5: is going to save us as a community. We've always 686 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 5: had that underneath the biobub tree. The grios that hold 687 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 5: our history were always connected directly to the young people 688 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,839 Speaker 5: and that is what oriented our trajectory as communities. 689 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 1: And so well, inter be here before you go continue, Kim, 690 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: I want to just thank you for doing that. You know, 691 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: taking our young people to Africa. It's life changing. Even 692 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: I as an adult you go, it's life changing to 693 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: go to Africa, but especially at a young age. Those 694 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: young folks that you guys took to the continent, you 695 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 1: don't find them being part of the other groups that 696 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: are wilding out because now they have a sense of purpose. 697 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: They see beyond the streets of Baltimore. So I just 698 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 1: want to thank you for doing that, and I hope 699 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: you continue to do it as well. 700 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:54,879 Speaker 13: Well. 701 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 5: The actual group A is for Africa over at Connections. 702 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 5: They've decided that they've we have a sophomore year and 703 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 5: the first year they went to Ghana, and this coming 704 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,800 Speaker 5: year twenty twenty six, they want to go to Kimmit 705 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 5: and Ethiopia, and so we're excited to show them the 706 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,720 Speaker 5: blue and the White now. And it's not just open 707 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 5: to the students. That Connections is actually going to be 708 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 5: open to young people across the state of Maryland. And 709 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 5: so if you have a young person in high school 710 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 5: or college and they want to learn about the origins 711 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,320 Speaker 5: of civilization, they want to do that comparative analysis between 712 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 5: the creation stories in Ilaise and Nigeria and Malambla in 713 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 5: Eboland versus what's happening over in Ethiopia and Eksum and 714 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 5: Lollabella and then over in kim It. Of course, Timid 715 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 5: is like the oldest daughter of Sudan, and you know 716 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,280 Speaker 5: Ethiopia and the source of the Nile down in Uganda 717 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 5: and Jingja, and so being able to show that to 718 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,720 Speaker 5: young people is like, wow, my life is not in vain, 719 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 5: Thank you Lord. The opportunity is a blessing in and 720 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,280 Speaker 5: of itself. And we even have journeys for young people 721 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 5: that are right here in the US. The Freedom Rides 722 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,399 Speaker 5: is coming up. We're doing the Freedom Rides next year. 723 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 5: This year, Baba hai Kei, he took young people on 724 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,359 Speaker 5: the Freedom Rides down into Gullageechee Nation. He did that 725 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 5: back in the spring. And so I know that these stories, 726 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 5: they make more sense when you take history off the page. 727 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 5: Our young people can relate to it. And we're competing 728 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 5: with video games and you know, we're trying to figure 729 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 5: out how we can incorporate those. But there are so 730 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 5: many distractions in this age of information, and so the 731 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 5: ability to focus and pay attention is the most valuable 732 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 5: thing that we can do, not only with our young 733 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,359 Speaker 5: people before ourselves. We have to be prepared to work 734 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 5: with them, and so that means us being able to 735 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 5: hone in and sometimes that expeditionary learning helps. 736 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:48,359 Speaker 14: You do that. 737 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, tell us about your musical journey, though, Kim, because 738 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: you are at the core, you're still an artist, and 739 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: you've been sharing your talents across the planet. So tell 740 00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 1: us how that went. 741 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 5: It true? And it's been such a long time since 742 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 5: I've been able to focus. I mean, I love artivism, 743 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 5: I love connecting art and art culture to sustainable development. 744 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 5: I love art as a tool for social transformation. But 745 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 5: at my heart of heart, I am still just that 746 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 5: singer Mama. I want to sing that girl, And being 747 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 5: able to do that this past fall and summer was 748 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 5: really a gift. Ghana has always been one of the 749 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 5: reasons that has been most welcoming to the height of 750 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 5: what my music musical potential can be and still is. 751 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 5: And so we're venturing into some afrobeats. They're saying, can 752 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 5: we love your soul? But can we change the track 753 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 5: a little bit? Can we add a few more rhythms 754 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 5: to that? And so I finally gotten to the point 755 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 5: where I said, yes, make the track what you needed 756 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 5: to be, especially because now I'm really recognizing that I 757 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,760 Speaker 5: haven't been living up to what I'm saying. I always 758 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 5: talk about the influential nature of the artist's class and 759 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 5: how we're the bullhorn of truth and how we're shaping 760 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 5: mindsets and defining reality but in my own art form, 761 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 5: it seems to be relegated to the sidelines or an aftermath. 762 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 5: But now I want to test out my own theory again, 763 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 5: like if you really want the influence. Like you said earlier, 764 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 5: you said, your station is given a spotlight to many 765 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,799 Speaker 5: of the topics and things and people that don't get 766 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 5: the attention that they deserve. But we got full you know, 767 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,000 Speaker 5: we zoomed in on Beyonce. We know exactly what jay 768 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 5: Z is doing. And so the question is how can 769 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 5: I now begin to use my art to make it 770 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 5: more widespread, make it influential, and so that I can 771 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,359 Speaker 5: have more space to do the artivism, letting the art lead. 772 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,839 Speaker 5: They say, your gift will make room for you, and 773 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 5: so I want to give my gift a chance to 774 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 5: make room for me, and that means giving it some attention. 775 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 5: And so I was in Ghana. I was invited to 776 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 5: launch the She Rhythms Festival this past August, and that 777 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,880 Speaker 5: was just the launch. It's going to actually happened in 778 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 5: Ghana December fourth through sixth. So it looks like this 779 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 5: December is gonna be an Africa Africa to out itinerary 780 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 5: and agenda will be there performing for the Si Rhythms Festival, 781 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 5: launching a few songs that are gonna get some widespread 782 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 5: exposure on the afrobeats market, and I guess their radio 783 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 5: circulation over on that side of the pond. But then 784 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,400 Speaker 5: I'm gonna stay over for the ninth Pan African Congress 785 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 5: in Togo. I'm gonna stay over for the Nigeria tour 786 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 5: the twenty seventh through January first, and Nigeria, and so 787 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 5: I'm gonna make sure I sprinkle some performances in between 788 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 5: all those things. And I'm gonna let. 789 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 15: Art lead. 790 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 1: Good for you ight away from the top of our 791 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,279 Speaker 1: brother doctor Hakes joining us, also calling from Baltimore, Ice 792 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:53,279 Speaker 1: online too, Grand Rising, dots of Hake. You're only Kim Poole, Yes, yes, 793 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 1: Grand Rising. 794 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 16: You can't hear me?

She got to come back on. 798 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 16: She talked about five things, and this a lot that 799 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 16: she may not have time to but interesting. 800 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:19,400 Speaker 7: You know. 801 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 16: Earlier this year we held hosted a group of I 802 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:30,279 Speaker 16: want to talk about this the connection students. So they 803 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 16: were some of the young people that actually performed at 804 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,880 Speaker 16: Mayor Brandon Scott's inauguration, and you know, it was a 805 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 16: pretty good excursion that maybe twenty three twenty five adults 806 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,879 Speaker 16: and young people that went to Ghana and they want 807 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 16: to go back this year. So, you know, instant I 808 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 16: was talking to doctor Ron Daniels, you know, yesterday last night, 809 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 16: and we were talking about with regions twists in Africa, 810 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:07,919 Speaker 16: you know, compared to stay the Pan African Congress congresses 811 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,840 Speaker 16: or you know, which African countries that you know the 812 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 16: presidents are doing, you know, good work for us in 813 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,800 Speaker 16: the global diasporas. And so he said something about Ghana 814 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 16: and South Africa. I don't know if you know, I mean, 815 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 16: and you know, we can't branded, we can't work in 816 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,879 Speaker 16: every country obviously, you know, we can't spread ourselves then, 817 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 16: but you know, one of the things that I said, 818 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 16: perhaps maybe two years ago is you know a lot 819 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,319 Speaker 16: of black folks, I mean, doctor Brnoka Rashidi, he said 820 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 16: Ghana and Egypt. And so now you know, tenative, if 821 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 16: Kim you want to talk about that as well, what 822 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 16: connections you want to do? You know, with Ethiopia and 823 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 16: Egypt as well. So sometimes you know, we let, you know, 824 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:58,240 Speaker 16: allow for clients to mandate or dictate or suggest where 825 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,200 Speaker 16: you know they want to be because people want to 826 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:04,480 Speaker 16: go to different parts of Africa as well. So so Kim, 827 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 16: I'll just let you go in, I'll take it off there. 828 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 16: Thank you, good job. 829 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 5: Well, I mean thank you for that, Baba Haki. We 830 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 5: are working in regions outside of Ghana, and some people 831 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 5: they see the marketing campaign of countries and then they 832 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,880 Speaker 5: have curators that promote that. But Africa is a continent 833 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,560 Speaker 5: and there isn't a region on the African continent that 834 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 5: you couldn't go and be transformed. But there are certain 835 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:33,320 Speaker 5: regions that are critical that those in the diaspora connect 836 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 5: with because of the histories of those areas and especially 837 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,880 Speaker 5: if you aren't going to be able to return. Ghana 838 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 5: is amongst those areas, but also Tanzania. The largest outpost 839 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 5: for the East African enslavement trade was in Tanzania. And 840 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,600 Speaker 5: I also think it's important that we go to regions 841 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,839 Speaker 5: where their first language is or the language that they 842 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,280 Speaker 5: do business in, the language that the US in government 843 00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 5: is not an anglophone or a luciphone or Francophone. It's 844 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 5: Tanzania and Ethiopia because they're still using an African language 845 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 5: in their business, in their education. It orients their minds differently. 846 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 5: The pride that they have. When I meet the young 847 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 5: people in those countries, they're not trying to leave. They're like, oh, 848 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 5: I'll take your dollars, but my mind gives me the 849 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 5: ability to imagine what I can use your money with. 850 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,720 Speaker 5: Right here in my country. I see what my country 851 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,680 Speaker 5: has to offer, and I'm proud of that. And it's 852 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 5: not that you don't see that in the other countries, small, small, 853 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,360 Speaker 5: but honestly, in those countries on the African continent that 854 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 5: speak their own languages, that still do business and teach 855 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,800 Speaker 5: their children in their own language. Black people now, and 856 00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:42,480 Speaker 5: hold of though for. 857 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,480 Speaker 1: A second, kin, We've got to check the traffic and 858 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,839 Speaker 1: weather in our different cities, and we'll let you come back. 859 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:48,880 Speaker 1: I let you finish your thought. And also the question 860 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:50,880 Speaker 1: of that, how much do you when you travel do 861 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 1: you try to ingratiate yourself in the local communities. Do 862 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 1: you try to learn their language and their culture as 863 00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,359 Speaker 1: well to get closer to them, or you just whether 864 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 1: they look at you still is a toy? Still as 865 00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:02,799 Speaker 1: an American? Or do they look at you as a 866 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 1: long lost relative. I'll let you explain that when we 867 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:06,920 Speaker 1: get back. But we got to check the traffic and 868 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:08,799 Speaker 1: weather in our different cities or four minutes away from 869 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:10,359 Speaker 1: the top of the our family. You want to join 870 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 1: this discussion with Kim Pool, reach out to us at 871 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,319 Speaker 1: eight hundred four five zero seventy eight seventy six and 872 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,719 Speaker 1: we'll take your phone calls after the trafficking weather that's 873 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 1: next and Grand Rising family, thanks for starting your week 874 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 1: with us again. I guess this is Kim Pool. Kim 875 00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,400 Speaker 1: is an activist out of Baltimore. She's on a journey 876 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,839 Speaker 1: to get reparations cultural reparations and she's also on artists though, 877 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,799 Speaker 1: So before we left, Kim, I'll let you finish your 878 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,359 Speaker 1: thought and tell us, you know, how do they see 879 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,520 Speaker 1: you as they see as an artist? They see you 880 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,839 Speaker 1: as a family member coming back to all these different 881 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,480 Speaker 1: African countries, and do you try to ingratiate yourself with them, 882 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,680 Speaker 1: do you try to learn tweet or some of the 883 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:49,359 Speaker 1: other dialects are there on the continent, or do they 884 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 1: see you just as an African American. 885 00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 5: So Nelson Mandela said that when you speak to a 886 00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:00,239 Speaker 5: man and his language, you speak to his heart. When 887 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 5: you speak in a language, she understands you speak to 888 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 5: his head. And so listen. I may never fully learned 889 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 5: tweet in Ghana or Swahili k Swahili on the continent. 890 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,600 Speaker 5: I was recently appointed, as I described in our last interview, 891 00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:22,120 Speaker 5: together with the African Union Academy of African Languages, and 892 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 5: so in that role, it is my job to promote 893 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,480 Speaker 5: and preserve African language in the diaspora and to create 894 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:35,680 Speaker 5: spaces for that transmission of knowledge to happen in all forms. 895 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:39,360 Speaker 5: Of course, my favorite would be art as a medium. 896 00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:41,719 Speaker 5: And so next year we're going to be hosting during 897 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:45,719 Speaker 5: African Languages Week, a week of activities, and right now 898 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,279 Speaker 5: we're building the infrastructure to have UH those dialogues in 899 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 5: the diaspora. So that's not just the US. I represent UH, 900 00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 5: the entirety of Pan Africa in the diaspora. So that 901 00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:01,319 Speaker 5: also will include activities in Europe where we are down 902 00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 5: in Brazil, in the Caribbean and Caracom countries. In that role, 903 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,759 Speaker 5: it's a major, major work and so I'm always looking 904 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:13,680 Speaker 5: for people that are passionate traditional speakers of African languages. 905 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,239 Speaker 5: If you want to be involved in that, please reach 906 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,879 Speaker 5: out to us because we need you, especially if you're 907 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,840 Speaker 5: living in the diaspora. But when I go to the continent, 908 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:25,239 Speaker 5: they're just glad that I'm trying. What we find when 909 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,400 Speaker 5: we get to the content folks that are from the diaspora, 910 00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:30,799 Speaker 5: is that you want to change what you see when 911 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,040 Speaker 5: you arrive, including the language. It's like, ah, why don't 912 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,759 Speaker 5: you understand me? You know, I see it all the 913 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 5: time when we bring toward groups and our attempts to 914 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,879 Speaker 5: build those bridges and connections. But they appreciate the fact 915 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,760 Speaker 5: that I try. That I slow down and I realize 916 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,880 Speaker 5: I'm the one with an accent. What I also realize 917 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 5: is that language has very little to do with words 918 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,320 Speaker 5: and communication. We had a rhythm people in the beginning 919 00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,360 Speaker 5: was heart drum. With this vibration, we gave rhythm to 920 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:02,240 Speaker 5: the world. On this beat. We sing life with the rhythm. People, 921 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,120 Speaker 5: and as long as this heart beats inside my chest, said, 922 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:09,160 Speaker 5: will remind me that I'm African, and they feel that rhythm. 923 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,440 Speaker 5: We don't always need words when we communicate. That language 924 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,320 Speaker 5: that we thought was our language. Only in the diaspora. 925 00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,560 Speaker 5: The head nod. You know that that blink, that wink 926 00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:23,240 Speaker 5: that look across the room, and understand that knowledge is real, 927 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:27,120 Speaker 5: that communication is real. They called it science when they 928 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:31,360 Speaker 5: tried to explain it. Pheromones that we communicate through, you know, 929 00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:36,920 Speaker 5: secreting certain pheromones or chemicals that communicated before our brookies 930 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,880 Speaker 5: area and our brain and the temporal lobe was developed. 931 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,240 Speaker 5: And that vibration is creation. 932 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,120 Speaker 12: It still exists. 933 00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,799 Speaker 5: Even when we aren't quiet enough to listen to it. 934 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,880 Speaker 5: And so I have learned through you know, trial and error, 935 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:55,960 Speaker 5: through immersion that in the deepest village, the mamas they 936 00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,360 Speaker 5: still understand, and they get me and they wrap me 937 00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 5: in their fabrics and they dress with their beads and 938 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:04,239 Speaker 5: they say, listen, daughter, welcome home. We spirit know the 939 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,160 Speaker 5: spirit by the spirit, and we know that you are 940 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,960 Speaker 5: with us. We are just we're invited to Kenya. We're 941 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:15,920 Speaker 5: going October sixteenth through the nineteenth to Nandy County. Nandy 942 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:20,239 Speaker 5: County is in the cradle of civilization. Senator James Saunders 943 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 5: from New York is going to be joining our delegation 944 00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,719 Speaker 5: by thea Haiki. We'll be with our delegation Thailand or 945 00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:32,560 Speaker 5: teaching artists institute regions across the continent, from Uganda and Ghana. 946 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,840 Speaker 5: They're all coming, some up from Zimbabwe. We're coming to 947 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:40,359 Speaker 5: Nandy County, Kenya by invitation of the government and the 948 00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,399 Speaker 5: women that are there, the singers. Whenever we come, they 949 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,040 Speaker 5: meet us at the airport and they're singing and they've 950 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,640 Speaker 5: got their beads on and they give us this musique. 951 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,120 Speaker 5: It's like this milk drink out of what looks like 952 00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,960 Speaker 5: a calabash to drink because they want to show us. 953 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,960 Speaker 5: Welcome home. Kaaribu tong gooi. That's what they say when 954 00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:02,080 Speaker 5: they see us. And it matters. This energy, these things 955 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,560 Speaker 5: that we've been unlearning, living in this vibration that is 956 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,759 Speaker 5: foreign to us, living in the diaspora. We've had to 957 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:13,520 Speaker 5: always convince ourselves that we're not broken. But going into 958 00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,719 Speaker 5: a community where the head nods and the handshakes and 959 00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:21,680 Speaker 5: the winks and the sound the h ah, all of 960 00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,560 Speaker 5: this is language and it's accepted and it's you know, widespread. 961 00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,880 Speaker 5: You don't feel broken. That's a language in and of itself, 962 00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:33,200 Speaker 5: some language that we need to relearn again right and can. 963 00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:34,799 Speaker 1: Be forward to let you go. How can folks reach you? 964 00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:36,640 Speaker 1: They want to join you on some of your journeys 965 00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,160 Speaker 1: and get involved in your institute. 966 00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,920 Speaker 5: They can reach us. They should definitely join some of 967 00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,400 Speaker 5: our journeys.

Doctor Keith Crawford is really let's 999 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:32,480 Speaker 1: doctor Crawford, Grand Rising, welcome back to the program, Grand Rousing, 1000 00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:38,120 Speaker 1: and doctor Crawford. You're a scientist and also a medical 1001 00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:43,120 Speaker 1: doctor and you've done some research into cancer. But before 1002 00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,239 Speaker 1: you tell us about what you found, UH, give us 1003 00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,040 Speaker 1: a little bit of a background so folks know that 1004 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:48,839 Speaker 1: you're the real deal. 1005 00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:54,040 Speaker 8: Oh okay, well, I wanted to say again grand rousing 1006 00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:58,880 Speaker 8: everybody online. I'm originally from Texas. My father was in 1007 00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:03,120 Speaker 8: the military and we used to bounce back between Texas 1008 00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:06,040 Speaker 8: and Washington, d C. Back and forth in the day. 1009 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:13,120 Speaker 8: But graduated from Purviewing and University outside of Houston. I 1010 00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:17,040 Speaker 8: went to medical school University Texas, Houston. I did my 1011 00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:21,040 Speaker 8: clinical training in Washington, d C. At Howard and then 1012 00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:24,080 Speaker 8: I elected to get a PhD in immunology and I 1013 00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:27,879 Speaker 8: got that from Harvard Medical School. I was I did 1014 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,359 Speaker 8: my post doc. That's your training. After you get your 1015 00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:36,320 Speaker 8: you finish your graduate work at at the Harvard Medical School, 1016 00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,239 Speaker 8: brick and Women's Hospital, Children's Hospital, and then I was 1017 00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:46,239 Speaker 8: faculty at Brigham Women's Hospital. My research, there's two kind 1018 00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:52,920 Speaker 8: of important things, and I think that you you're curious 1019 00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:56,840 Speaker 8: caller brought out something that was very important. We have 1020 00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,400 Speaker 8: attended to go look at things differently, and when you 1021 00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,839 Speaker 8: can look at things differently, you could make discoveries. So 1022 00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:07,200 Speaker 8: two major discoveries, both of those patented by Harvard Medical School, 1023 00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:13,880 Speaker 8: was discovered a new subset of of immune cells that 1024 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,440 Speaker 8: if you could take those immune cells so you can 1025 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,160 Speaker 8: fuse them together and make a vaccine against cancer. And 1026 00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:22,920 Speaker 8: then I also have a patent and discovery of a 1027 00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:28,440 Speaker 8: new set of regenative medicine cells stem cells that because 1028 00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:31,440 Speaker 8: of this discovery, I was invited to the Vatican to 1029 00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:37,279 Speaker 8: talk about stem cells. And yes, the Vatican supports stem 1030 00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:41,840 Speaker 8: cells research. It's just that they don't support embryonic research. 1031 00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,719 Speaker 1: So that's kind of all why why should why why 1032 00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:46,840 Speaker 1: don't they do that? 1033 00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:53,200 Speaker 8: Well, embryonic So embryonic is is what was happening was 1034 00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 8: at the time when we started talking about I mean, 1035 00:55:56,200 --> 00:56:01,840 Speaker 8: we better but clarified. So, the Vatican has a stem 1036 00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,279 Speaker 8: cell library, and a lot of people don't know that. 1037 00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:09,319 Speaker 8: They will take stem cells that are from spontaneous abortions, 1038 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:15,240 Speaker 8: but they will not populate their library with stem cells 1039 00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:20,040 Speaker 8: from embryos. You know, people who are who have having 1040 00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:27,320 Speaker 8: problems and need more of an artificial simat insmination for 1041 00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:32,840 Speaker 8: for UH to carry a child forward. They won't take those, 1042 00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:37,399 Speaker 8: but they will take something that was naturally a byproduct 1043 00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:43,160 Speaker 8: of a lost placenta and those types of stem cells. 1044 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,239 Speaker 8: So that's something that a lot of people don't recognize, 1045 00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,799 Speaker 8: and they give the Catholic Church a kind of a 1046 00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:53,480 Speaker 8: bad name when they are open to understand science and 1047 00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,839 Speaker 8: all those other things and then provide the world with alternatives. 1048 00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:58,120 Speaker 8: They just don't speak about it. 1049 00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,360 Speaker 1: Twelve after the top of that founidly just checking in, 1050 00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 1: I guess you start to KEITHA. Crawford that missions to 1051 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,359 Speaker 1: sign this also a medical doctor. So doctor, from where 1052 00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,680 Speaker 1: you stand, is there a cure for cancer? 1053 00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:16,520 Speaker 8: Well, let me put it to you this way. I'm 1054 00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,800 Speaker 8: a very positive person. So if you want to go 1055 00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:25,280 Speaker 8: back to nineteen eighties and ask that question, is there 1056 00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:30,280 Speaker 8: a cure for AIDS? And at that time, no one 1057 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:34,760 Speaker 8: would have believed that we would have treatments that suppress 1058 00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:39,800 Speaker 8: It's not a cure, but it suppresses AIDS and allows people. 1059 00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:44,240 Speaker 8: Let me think about it. Major a celebrity, Magic Johnson 1060 00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,960 Speaker 8: HIV positive and he's still living today. So we have 1061 00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:55,360 Speaker 8: the ability in science, maybe not the cure cancer, but 1062 00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,640 Speaker 8: keep it under control. Like it's a chronic disease, high 1063 00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:04,760 Speaker 8: potension ease, prostate cancer. So you have these treatments that 1064 00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:08,520 Speaker 8: if you do what you need to do. People need 1065 00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:12,120 Speaker 8: to exercise, eat right and get plenty of sleep, take 1066 00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:17,520 Speaker 8: their vitamin D, take their coprid vitamins. But also there 1067 00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:20,640 Speaker 8: are treatments out there there are therapies out there that 1068 00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:23,920 Speaker 8: will suppress and slow the growth of the cancer. So 1069 00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,200 Speaker 8: I'm hoping that there'll be a cure. But right now 1070 00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,840 Speaker 8: we are approaching this era where we're able to treat 1071 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:35,320 Speaker 8: cancers not at all like a chronic disease. 1072 00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:38,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, fourteen half of the top there not to keep 1073 00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,560 Speaker 1: Crawfett is I guess and doctor Crawford. Last month was 1074 00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:45,360 Speaker 1: prostate cancer month. This month is Breast cancer Awareness month. 1075 00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:49,120 Speaker 1: So what should what should we know about the cancer 1076 00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:51,680 Speaker 1: the disease. What do you think that our listening audients 1077 00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:53,160 Speaker 1: should know right now that we don't know. 1078 00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:56,880 Speaker 17: What we. 1079 00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:05,160 Speaker 8: Don't know is one, if you have cancer, if you're 1080 00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:13,320 Speaker 8: diagnosed with cancer, don't lose hope. There are things like 1081 00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 8: clinical trials that are out there. Back in the day, 1082 00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:22,400 Speaker 8: if you're thinking about Tuskegee to Skige laid the foundation 1083 00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:30,680 Speaker 8: for safe research studies in medicine. The most important thing 1084 00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,479 Speaker 8: that I want that people to hear that is there's 1085 00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:38,520 Speaker 8: treatment options and we have to participate. And even before that, 1086 00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:44,800 Speaker 8: whether it's breast or prostate cancer, we have to screen early. 1087 00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:50,400 Speaker 8: And so what people don't understand is that we represent 1088 00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:55,600 Speaker 8: maybe about fourteen percent of the US population. But when 1089 00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:58,840 Speaker 8: people give you these statistics, they give you statistics with 1090 00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:00,880 Speaker 8: everybody in this pool. 1091 01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:06,440 Speaker 7: But you remember the saying about when one. 1092 01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:11,280 Speaker 8: Group sneezes, we catch the cold pneumonia. In this case, 1093 01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:14,440 Speaker 8: if you separate us out and look at the cancer 1094 01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:19,640 Speaker 8: impact prostate cancer breast cancer, we just focus on those two. 1095 01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:26,880 Speaker 8: It's worse in men and women, respectively. And we're talking 1096 01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:32,800 Speaker 8: about Black men. Leading cause of cancer in the world 1097 01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:37,080 Speaker 8: is prostate cancer, and leading cause of cancer and Black 1098 01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:39,160 Speaker 8: community for men is prostecate cancer. 1099 01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:43,080 Speaker 1: And hold that through right there, Dot. We're gonna step 1100 01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:44,680 Speaker 1: us off a few months. We come back though. Tell 1101 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:49,320 Speaker 1: us why cancer disproportionately affects Black men prostate cancer, and 1102 01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:52,120 Speaker 1: then let us know if it's the same for the sisters, 1103 01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:55,080 Speaker 1: if the breast cancer disproportionally affects them, and if so, 1104 01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:59,200 Speaker 1: is it just just uh Africans in this part of 1105 01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:03,280 Speaker 1: the content, or is Africans on the is it cononell Africans, 1106 01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,680 Speaker 1: Africans in Europe, Africans and the Caribbean Africans in South America? 1107 01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 1: Is it die related? We want all the facts right now, Doc, 1108 01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:12,760 Speaker 1: You've got them. Family is one of our smart brothers 1109 01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:14,640 Speaker 1: we have in our community. Is a scientist as well. 1110 01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,040 Speaker 1: It's a medical Doctor's name is doctor Keith Crawford. You 1111 01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:19,040 Speaker 1: got a question about cancer, reach out to us at 1112 01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:22,400 Speaker 1: eight hundred four five zero seventy eight seventy six. We'll 1113 01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,440 Speaker 1: taket phone calls next and Grand Rising family, thanks for 1114 01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:27,480 Speaker 1: rolling with us on this Monday morning here, thanks for 1115 01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:29,640 Speaker 1: starting your week with us. At twenty minutes after the top, 1116 01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:31,880 Speaker 1: they I with our guest, doctor Keith Crawford. As I mentioned, 1117 01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,040 Speaker 1: it's one of the smart brothers in our community. I 1118 01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:36,960 Speaker 1: always tell that we've got some really smart folks out there. 1119 01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 1: Many of the times they're working for the other side, and 1120 01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,400 Speaker 1: I'm working for us. So this one's different. Doctor Keith Crawford, 1121 01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:43,480 Speaker 1: that's his name, and specializing in doing a lot of 1122 01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,600 Speaker 1: research into cancer. As we mentioned last month it was 1123 01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:49,400 Speaker 1: Prostate cancer Awareness month. This month, October is Breast cancer 1124 01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,720 Speaker 1: Awareness Month. And the question I asked that before we 1125 01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:56,080 Speaker 1: left for the break, Dr Crawford, why does cancer seem 1126 01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:59,560 Speaker 1: to disproportionate attack goes, especially prostate cancer. We know that 1127 01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,960 Speaker 1: for sure, but is it the same for breast cancer 1128 01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:03,120 Speaker 1: for our sisters as well? 1129 01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:07,960 Speaker 7: Well? I would back up a little bit. 1130 01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:13,400 Speaker 8: I said disproportionately, certain cancers disproportionately impact people of African descent. 1131 01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:19,920 Speaker 8: That's the first thing. Prostate cancer is different because prosect 1132 01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:25,160 Speaker 8: cancer negatively, the incident's rate is higher among Black men 1133 01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:30,480 Speaker 8: over any other group, male or female. But then when 1134 01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:34,920 Speaker 8: you move to breast cancer, women of European ancestry have 1135 01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:39,000 Speaker 8: a higher incidents of breast cancer, but Black women are 1136 01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,160 Speaker 8: the ones that suffer the most and die at a 1137 01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:44,520 Speaker 8: higher rate. So when you think of incidents, is you 1138 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:47,480 Speaker 8: know it's occurring, and then those that die from it. 1139 01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:51,080 Speaker 8: Now from Black men, the incident's rate is like seventy 1140 01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:55,400 Speaker 8: eighty percent higher and the death rate is two times higher. 1141 01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,840 Speaker 8: And depending on where you live, especially when we start 1142 01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:02,400 Speaker 8: talking about that DMB area, that prostate cancer incidence is high, 1143 01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:10,919 Speaker 8: especially in DC and death Ray. And why is that though, Doc, Well, 1144 01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:19,960 Speaker 8: it's interesting the if you were to follow the slave 1145 01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:21,680 Speaker 8: trade route, so West. 1146 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:23,480 Speaker 7: Africa, Caribbean, United. 1147 01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:28,920 Speaker 8: States, wherever men of African descent and what women of 1148 01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:34,360 Speaker 8: African descent are, that incidence of prostate cancer in men 1149 01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:39,760 Speaker 8: and breast cancer and women follows that slave trade route, 1150 01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:45,360 Speaker 8: and so why there is a genetically to those diseases, 1151 01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:50,680 Speaker 8: prostate cancer and breast but that's a smaller component. 1152 01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:53,920 Speaker 7: There is an. 1153 01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:57,920 Speaker 8: Issue about the environment, and this is something that you know, 1154 01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:01,040 Speaker 8: people don't talk about. They don't talk about the fact 1155 01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,280 Speaker 8: that we have only really been to the United States 1156 01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:10,920 Speaker 8: in the Americas outside of Africa since fact the sixteen 1157 01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:14,880 Speaker 8: hundred cents and so the trade be can so for 1158 01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:18,240 Speaker 8: thousands of years, there is no doctor. That may be 1159 01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:24,520 Speaker 8: some healthcare provider, which doctor, and the buildings, but the 1160 01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:28,800 Speaker 8: point was you lived off the land. Your medicines were 1161 01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:32,479 Speaker 8: off the land. So the moment we were removed from 1162 01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:36,520 Speaker 8: that protective environment. And I speak to the generalities here, 1163 01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:41,440 Speaker 8: I'm not like specific. Our foods are different, having access 1164 01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,440 Speaker 8: to the sun is different, sleep is different. And you 1165 01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:49,400 Speaker 8: move into this new era of fast world, fast food, 1166 01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:55,240 Speaker 8: lack of sleep, non natural foods. The majority of people 1167 01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:59,400 Speaker 8: on the phone listening know that their doctor has said, look, no, 1168 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:05,040 Speaker 8: you need to move to a Mediterranean diet. I mean, 1169 01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:08,160 Speaker 8: thousands of years, that's what we ate, that's how we lived. 1170 01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:13,160 Speaker 8: Your people and people European ancestry, they ate lived a 1171 01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:19,200 Speaker 8: certain way, but their culture dominates, their diet dominates. The Americans. 1172 01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:24,400 Speaker 8: So we have a concern about the environment, and then 1173 01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:27,000 Speaker 8: you know the foods that we eat, the air that 1174 01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:31,840 Speaker 8: we breathe, the water that we drink, and we've not 1175 01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:37,600 Speaker 8: always lived in areas that have been healthy. And one 1176 01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:39,240 Speaker 8: other thing that comes into place is we have to 1177 01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:43,800 Speaker 8: recognize that every day we get up, we are suffering 1178 01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:49,200 Speaker 8: or hit with these micro traumas and stress and anxiety 1179 01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:51,960 Speaker 8: plays a very important role. Now this is I want 1180 01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:53,720 Speaker 8: people to kind of understand. I was trying to break 1181 01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:57,720 Speaker 8: it down that your body. We know that we want 1182 01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:02,080 Speaker 8: to fight off infectious disease like COVID. We want to 1183 01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:09,360 Speaker 8: boost our immune system, right, but your body constantly surveys 1184 01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:14,560 Speaker 8: for cancer growth. But if you don't eat right, if 1185 01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:20,400 Speaker 8: you're not exercising, if you're obese or overweight, your immune 1186 01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,600 Speaker 8: system doesn't work as well, and so it's not very 1187 01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:30,160 Speaker 8: efficient at one identifying the cancer and killing it and 1188 01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,280 Speaker 8: constantly surveying. So if you're in a lot of stress 1189 01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:36,800 Speaker 8: and anxiety, you have these molecules that are being released 1190 01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:40,880 Speaker 8: in the body that suppressed the immune system. So we 1191 01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:45,120 Speaker 8: have to be important that everybody has to understand. You know, 1192 01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:49,360 Speaker 8: stress anxiety plays a very important role whether or not 1193 01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:54,240 Speaker 8: you're able to protect your body against cancers or slow 1194 01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:55,400 Speaker 8: up the progression of cancer. 1195 01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:01,160 Speaker 1: Wow twenty five after the top family, if you have 1196 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:04,160 Speaker 1: been diagnosed with cancer, you know someone who's been diagnosed 1197 01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,120 Speaker 1: with cancer, You got a question. This is a man 1198 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:08,880 Speaker 1: you need to pose a question to. He's a medical doctor. Also, 1199 01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,000 Speaker 1: Songea's name is doctor Keith Crawford, traded at Harvard and 1200 01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:14,400 Speaker 1: works in the DMV area. You can reach him right 1201 01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:16,840 Speaker 1: now at eight hundred four or five zero seventy eight 1202 01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,840 Speaker 1: seventy six. And if you have the issue, family, don't 1203 01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:21,840 Speaker 1: be bashful. You can use a different name when you 1204 01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:24,520 Speaker 1: people know your business. I get it, but take advantage 1205 01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:28,480 Speaker 1: of his expertise. Doc. There's been an increase in callon cancer, 1206 01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:31,160 Speaker 1: especially in young people. That that's what they're saying, what 1207 01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:32,120 Speaker 1: is causing this? 1208 01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:37,959 Speaker 8: I mean what we can say is is there's two 1209 01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:41,479 Speaker 8: things there right now. We're talking about diet, the food 1210 01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,160 Speaker 8: that we eat. I mean, this is something simple question. 1211 01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:47,880 Speaker 8: Why would you drink sodas if you know that sodas 1212 01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:53,640 Speaker 8: are corrosive? I mean you certain TikTok or YouTube videos 1213 01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:57,880 Speaker 8: or somebody clean the toilet and force them a coat. 1214 01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,640 Speaker 8: I mean a soda drink and it cleanses to what 1215 01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:04,560 Speaker 8: that's the same thing that your gut is exposed to. 1216 01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:10,880 Speaker 8: So your your gut is exposed to constant inflammation because 1217 01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:13,600 Speaker 8: of the foods that you eat. And with this constant inflammation, 1218 01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:19,519 Speaker 8: the constant trauma leads to sooner or later a cancer 1219 01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:23,360 Speaker 8: cell is going to escape, and it does have to do. 1220 01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:26,000 Speaker 8: I'm not saying one hundred percent, I'm not perfect here. 1221 01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:31,120 Speaker 8: Your diet plays a variant role for important role and 1222 01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:35,200 Speaker 8: whether or not. I mean, yes, it's genetics, Yes it's 1223 01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:40,599 Speaker 8: pass on from family and family, but the genes are there. 1224 01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:46,559 Speaker 8: But what triggers the relapse of cancer? All diet plays 1225 01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:50,760 Speaker 8: a role in that. So we have all the key components. 1226 01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:53,479 Speaker 8: I'm not saying if you eat right, exercise and do 1227 01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:56,960 Speaker 8: the right thing that you may not get you won't 1228 01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:01,360 Speaker 8: get cancer. What I'm saying is your chance of getting 1229 01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:07,680 Speaker 8: cancer decrease, and you eat right, you exercise, manage stress, 1230 01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:12,800 Speaker 8: have a Mediterranean or vegetarian diet. And especially when I 1231 01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:15,520 Speaker 8: think about it, I keep on going back. There's European 1232 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:19,160 Speaker 8: ancestry evolutionary diet, a diet that they had for thousands 1233 01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:21,679 Speaker 8: and thousands of years, and there's a diet that West 1234 01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:25,479 Speaker 8: Africans had for thousands and thousands of years. That's not 1235 01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:30,639 Speaker 8: the same genetically. We were wrought up on that West 1236 01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:34,880 Speaker 8: African diet, that Mediterranean type diet, and those are the 1237 01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:39,000 Speaker 8: direction that we all need to go back to, not meats. 1238 01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:44,280 Speaker 8: It's better to be a vegetarian. But again, you got 1239 01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:48,960 Speaker 8: to talk to your doctor about the points that we 1240 01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:51,800 Speaker 8: bring up. They may disagree, they may agree, but the 1241 01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:54,559 Speaker 8: point is talk to your doctor so you can eat 1242 01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:55,960 Speaker 8: healthy and live longer. 1243 01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:00,360 Speaker 1: Twenty and after top thing, I went doctor Keith Offers. 1244 01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:03,000 Speaker 1: I mentioned families, one of the smart brothers in our community, 1245 01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:05,479 Speaker 1: and it's working for us. We're talking about cancer now, 1246 01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:08,920 Speaker 1: especially prostate cancer and breast cancer. This is Breast Cancer 1247 01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:12,920 Speaker 1: Awareness Month. So Doc, I've talked to some natural pathic 1248 01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,599 Speaker 1: doctors and they tell me that the cancer is sugar. 1249 01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:19,439 Speaker 1: Sugar sugar cancer. The cancer feeds off sugar. And for me, now, 1250 01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:21,559 Speaker 1: every time I go into the store there's the market, 1251 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,639 Speaker 1: I see a cake or something, I'm like oak cancer. 1252 01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:28,000 Speaker 1: Every all of a sudden, every time I see stuff sweets, 1253 01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:33,000 Speaker 1: you know, candies or something, I got oak cancer. It's 1254 01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:35,719 Speaker 1: coming to my mind that that sugar that the cancer 1255 01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:37,639 Speaker 1: feeds off sugar. It's any truth to that though. 1256 01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:41,360 Speaker 8: Okay, So that is a very excellent question, and I 1257 01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:45,559 Speaker 8: want to tell you how this works. So when we're 1258 01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:48,599 Speaker 8: in the laboratory, I told you we did some research, right, 1259 01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:52,240 Speaker 8: We did research about how to control and kill cancers, 1260 01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:54,200 Speaker 8: how to vaccinate against cancer. So I was at the 1261 01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:58,320 Speaker 8: Dana Farbard Cancer Institute as when I did my post off, 1262 01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:02,519 Speaker 8: my graduate post octro work, we were creating vaccines against cancers. 1263 01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,240 Speaker 8: But if you take the cancer cell, right, because that's 1264 01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:08,519 Speaker 8: how we study, it will take the cancer itself. I 1265 01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,479 Speaker 8: mean everybody knows, like you know, we had a LAC cells, 1266 01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:16,040 Speaker 8: the la cells, the helo cells, so everybody knows about that. 1267 01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:20,839 Speaker 8: So that's a cancer cell. Well, to keep the cancer 1268 01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:25,519 Speaker 8: cell in a dish so it grows, one of the 1269 01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:32,120 Speaker 8: major components is glucose. Glucose is sugar, and if you 1270 01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:35,559 Speaker 8: remove the sugar, the cancer doesn't grow as fast. If 1271 01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:39,000 Speaker 8: you add the sugar, it grows fast. It's easier for 1272 01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:44,439 Speaker 8: the cancer to break down glucose simple sugars, ptising cakes 1273 01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:47,160 Speaker 8: and all the in the bread than it is to 1274 01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:52,400 Speaker 8: break down and create energy from meat and vegetables. 1275 01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:54,920 Speaker 7: And so the. 1276 01:11:54,960 --> 01:12:00,000 Speaker 8: Point that you bring up is the generally doesn't cause cancer, 1277 01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:02,960 Speaker 8: but it supports cancerous growth. 1278 01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:06,160 Speaker 7: Poor diets. 1279 01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:12,240 Speaker 8: Support cancerst growth. The lack of exercise supports cancers growth. 1280 01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:16,400 Speaker 8: Stress and anxiety supports cancers. 1281 01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:22,120 Speaker 1: Group and another thing I've heard of twenty away from 1282 01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:24,479 Speaker 1: the top of our dog is that we all have 1283 01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:27,960 Speaker 1: some cancer cells. It cancer is found in all our bodies. 1284 01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:30,000 Speaker 1: Is there any truth to that? 1285 01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:31,280 Speaker 7: Yes? 1286 01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:36,280 Speaker 8: And your immune system is responsible for surveying the I 1287 01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:38,479 Speaker 8: mean like see for example, man, you guys are the DNV, 1288 01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:42,640 Speaker 8: some me and outside like the urban sector humanity of yards. 1289 01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,240 Speaker 8: You go out, look out in the morning and look 1290 01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:48,400 Speaker 8: for weeds in your garden or leads out in your yard. 1291 01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:50,640 Speaker 8: So when you go out and pull the weeds up 1292 01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:55,000 Speaker 8: and get rid of, your body does the same. Your 1293 01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:57,360 Speaker 8: immune system does the same thing. It surveys the body, 1294 01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:01,280 Speaker 8: and it's looking for infectious disease, something that's not supposed 1295 01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:04,080 Speaker 8: to be there. Cancer cells are not supposed to be there, 1296 01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:06,599 Speaker 8: but the immune system looks at it, targets it, and 1297 01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:11,719 Speaker 8: then kills it. The problem is, as we get older, 1298 01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:16,920 Speaker 8: those immune cells, those cells that are responsible for surveying it, 1299 01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:23,360 Speaker 8: start to decline, and then a cancer cell escapes surveillance, 1300 01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:27,639 Speaker 8: it starts to grow. So the point that you bring 1301 01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:34,840 Speaker 8: up is the body immune system surveys your body looking 1302 01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:37,920 Speaker 8: for cancer cells so it can kill. That's the way 1303 01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:42,520 Speaker 8: the immune system is designed in addition to bacterias and viruses. 1304 01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:46,040 Speaker 1: So how do we boost our immune system? Then what 1305 01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:47,920 Speaker 1: are some of the things that we can do or 1306 01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:51,400 Speaker 1: I guess eat, take or any physical things that we 1307 01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:53,960 Speaker 1: can do to improve our immune systems so we don't 1308 01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:54,839 Speaker 1: succumb to cancer. 1309 01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:04,400 Speaker 8: This and people can this is published data. Research data 1310 01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:07,439 Speaker 8: groups stuck around the country are doing clinical travels in 1311 01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:11,280 Speaker 8: this area to kind of learn more about it. We 1312 01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:18,800 Speaker 8: have to change our diet. All that junk, we have 1313 01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:25,240 Speaker 8: to let it go. We have to move towards vegetarian 1314 01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:29,519 Speaker 8: you know, no processed foods, getting ready to jump foods, 1315 01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:32,160 Speaker 8: get rid of the sodas, and just clean like you're 1316 01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:35,240 Speaker 8: talking about a cleanse. Get a cleanse, not a cleanse 1317 01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:37,880 Speaker 8: when we're just talking about fluid, but cleansing. Real to 1318 01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:42,040 Speaker 8: start all over and take an assessment of the foods 1319 01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:45,320 Speaker 8: that you eat and trying to focus on the mediterratan 1320 01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:49,560 Speaker 8: style diet at least if not moving to a vegetarian diet. 1321 01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:54,720 Speaker 8: That's one research peer reviewed. So we talk about this 1322 01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:58,320 Speaker 8: on your show. We talk about peer review. That means 1323 01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:01,160 Speaker 8: it wasn't somebody who had an opinion who wrote about 1324 01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:06,280 Speaker 8: it and making these statements. A group of people did 1325 01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:10,479 Speaker 8: the research. Their research was evaluated by groups of other 1326 01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:13,720 Speaker 8: people to make sure it was accurate. So when we 1327 01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:17,040 Speaker 8: talk about it, when I'm talking about I'm talking about. 1328 01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:21,160 Speaker 7: Peer reviewed information.

Dad Jay's joining us from Detroit's online one. 1348 01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:39,479 Speaker 1: Once you speak to doctor Crawford, grand Rising Jay on 1349 01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:40,679 Speaker 1: with doctor Keith Crawford. 1350 01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:44,439 Speaker 4: Well, grand Rise and current grand Rising to the doctor. 1351 01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:50,000 Speaker 4: I have a question related to a vegetarian diet. I've 1352 01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:53,400 Speaker 4: been doing it for a few years and some of 1353 01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:57,960 Speaker 4: the issues that come up with me is getting a 1354 01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:04,839 Speaker 4: protein that will keep your sodium levels up, iron production 1355 01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:09,200 Speaker 4: because recently I was diagnosed with low hemoglobal you know, 1356 01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:13,880 Speaker 4: and low red blood cell count, and you know, I've 1357 01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:16,400 Speaker 4: been kind of doing some research on food to help 1358 01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:19,559 Speaker 4: build up the iron and you know, build up your blood. 1359 01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:22,800 Speaker 4: So could you kind of discuss that too, you know, 1360 01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:26,439 Speaker 4: because there's always been this narrative that if you don't 1361 01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:31,479 Speaker 4: eat meat, that you won't get enough protein in your diet. 1362 01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:35,040 Speaker 4: You know, that's one of the narratives that people use 1363 01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:38,840 Speaker 4: to justify, you know, still eating flesh. So could you 1364 01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:41,240 Speaker 4: kind of discuss that. I really would appreciate that. 1365 01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:44,519 Speaker 7: Well, I think what I ended up doing is. 1366 01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:53,000 Speaker 8: On my end, I'm more beans. I mean, you know beans, 1367 01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:59,000 Speaker 8: they're vegetables that you can get your protein cross and 1368 01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:02,240 Speaker 8: focusing on those vegetables and you and you can google 1369 01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:05,680 Speaker 8: it and and look at you probably eating those and 1370 01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:09,280 Speaker 8: then supplement it with protein powders or supplement with protein drinks. 1371 01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:15,040 Speaker 8: So I get mine the my daily allotment of protein. 1372 01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:17,920 Speaker 7: So the. 1373 01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:23,400 Speaker 8: It is where it's easier to eat meat and junk 1374 01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:26,320 Speaker 8: food because that's going to be at your fingertips you 1375 01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:31,360 Speaker 8: drive through, grab a burger from a fast food. To 1376 01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:36,120 Speaker 8: prepare vegetables that are not already in the can, it 1377 01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:41,280 Speaker 8: takes time, but we have to move towards preparing our 1378 01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:46,160 Speaker 8: own diet. And and for me to tell you the 1379 01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:50,880 Speaker 8: best way for anybody online right now is one we 1380 01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:55,320 Speaker 8: want everybody to see their doctor and have physicals. That's 1381 01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:58,639 Speaker 8: the first thing.

So 1434 01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:36,120 Speaker 8: if we talk about beans a primaries or king waw peas, 1435 01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:41,519 Speaker 8: and then we can move to you know, hemp, hemp seeds, 1436 01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:49,479 Speaker 8: pumpkin pumpkin seeds protein or almond butter, flack seeds. These 1437 01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:51,760 Speaker 8: are all very important. I know a lot of people 1438 01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:54,840 Speaker 8: don't like when we moved from like plants, proteins, then 1439 01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:58,280 Speaker 8: we can move to you know, dietary I mean dairy 1440 01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:04,040 Speaker 8: eggs and cottage cheese and Greek yogurts or or excellent sources. 1441 01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:08,720 Speaker 8: And then and what I'm suggesting, what would unlike the 1442 01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:12,720 Speaker 8: audience to really start thinking about is again, use your resources. 1443 01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:18,040 Speaker 8: Your primary resources is your your primary care doctor helps 1444 01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:22,400 Speaker 8: you or can refer you to a nutritionist that can 1445 01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:26,599 Speaker 8: help tail your diet for yourself. But remember how we 1446 01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:30,520 Speaker 8: have to think. We have to think about our ancestral foods. 1447 01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:34,479 Speaker 8: So when we think about from Africa, I told you 1448 01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:39,719 Speaker 8: for black a peas, lentils, chickpeas, what there's a kaba 1449 01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:47,400 Speaker 8: of flavor and then seeds, nuts and seeds, and then 1450 01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:51,720 Speaker 8: you have to look at some of the ancestral grains 1451 01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:57,160 Speaker 8: and flowers from West Africa, not what people European ancestry, 1452 01:22:57,240 --> 01:23:00,280 Speaker 8: because for thousands of thousand years, that was the food 1453 01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:02,960 Speaker 8: that they need to sustain themselves. And there is a 1454 01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:08,680 Speaker 8: difference in how our bodies manage cancers, triggers us for 1455 01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:12,080 Speaker 8: cancers and the type of foods that we should really predominate. 1456 01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:16,280 Speaker 8: And also I'm not forgetting about just leafing vegetables. You know, 1457 01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:22,120 Speaker 8: you know the broccoli uh cal people leave. So there's 1458 01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:24,679 Speaker 8: a lot of stuff that out there that we're going 1459 01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:28,920 Speaker 8: to have to go back to eat healthier. And I 1460 01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:31,479 Speaker 8: hopefully that gives you an ideal idea. I'm not giving 1461 01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:39,600 Speaker 8: you specific vegetables in detailed meals.

I know it's 1501 01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:31,400 Speaker 8: early in the morning, but the point is is this 1502 01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:34,639 Speaker 8: first thing first, save your life. 1503 01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:41,760 Speaker 7: Then you have either that opportunity and you hear it all. 1504 01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:44,040 Speaker 8: The time, the blue pill, the pill.

I mean 1510 01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:12,439 Speaker 8: there from the standpoint of screening early, you have laws 1511 01:27:12,439 --> 01:27:15,240 Speaker 8: of the books that would move the cost of screen early. 1512 01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:21,760 Speaker 8: That's in Maryland Maryland area, so that's very important. But 1513 01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:27,680 Speaker 8: whether it's surgery or radiation surgery. Rectile the function on 1514 01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:33,200 Speaker 8: will occur earlier post post surgery, and you you can 1515 01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:36,599 Speaker 8: do the exercise to keep exercises and that you need 1516 01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:40,120 Speaker 8: to get to a point where you have in erection. 1517 01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:42,920 Speaker 8: And a lot of men if you catch it early 1518 01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:47,000 Speaker 8: and there's nerves bearing, no nerves are damaged, then they're 1519 01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:52,519 Speaker 8: able to recover without supplementation with the pill. And even 1520 01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:55,960 Speaker 8: if you have radiation, it may you have radiation, it 1521 01:27:56,040 --> 01:27:59,960 Speaker 8: may take time, but you may develop a rectile that's found. 1522 01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:03,800 Speaker 8: But the point is is that I want to make 1523 01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:09,479 Speaker 8: men understand, Yeah, we your sexual prowess is tied too, 1524 01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:12,960 Speaker 8: whether not you can get erection.

I hope that works out for you. Arabic is 1527 01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:23,920 Speaker 1: doctor Crawford. This is the era that he works in. 1528 01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:26,640 Speaker 1: Especially now doctor Crawford sticks away from the top. I've 1529 01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:28,120 Speaker 1: come from a break, but I got a tweet question 1530 01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:31,480 Speaker 1: for it. It says some research suggests that male circumcision, 1531 01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:35,200 Speaker 1: particularly when performed before the first sexual intercourse, is associated 1532 01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:37,719 Speaker 1: with reduced risk of prostate cancer. 1533 01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:43,880 Speaker 7: Your thoughts, I mean, I mean there are a lot of. 1534 01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:49,840 Speaker 8: Again, I go to peer reviewed if the question of 1535 01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:52,360 Speaker 8: the audience member wants to send that article to you 1536 01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:54,719 Speaker 8: and we can read it, to review it and see. 1537 01:28:55,520 --> 01:28:59,200 Speaker 8: All I know is this is, if you are black, 1538 01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:03,760 Speaker 8: if you have African ancestry, you have a high risk 1539 01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:08,560 Speaker 8: of developing prostate cancer. Now, whether you circumcised or not circumcised, 1540 01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:10,680 Speaker 8: if you get cercumcised late in life, that's not going 1541 01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:13,000 Speaker 8: to change it. If you have a family history of 1542 01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:15,759 Speaker 8: prostate cancer, if you have a family history of breast cancer, 1543 01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:18,640 Speaker 8: because a lot of people don't know that. They think, well, 1544 01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:20,720 Speaker 8: I don't have a family history of prostate cancer, but 1545 01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:23,320 Speaker 8: i have a family history of breast cancer, and I'm 1546 01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:27,960 Speaker 8: a guy, I said. The genetics are transferred, So a 1547 01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:33,080 Speaker 8: mother can give the genes for prostate can give the 1548 01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:37,320 Speaker 8: genes to develop prostate cancer to her son, and a 1549 01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:42,280 Speaker 8: father can give the genes that may increase a young 1550 01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:50,240 Speaker 8: woman's chance to develop the breast cancer. So there may 1551 01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:54,880 Speaker 8: be an indirect, somehow relationship with circumcision. But the fact 1552 01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:59,040 Speaker 8: of this, if you're of African descent, your chance of 1553 01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:02,120 Speaker 8: developing prostate cancer are extremely high. 1554 01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:05,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, all I thought, right there, doc, Because we've got 1555 01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:06,720 Speaker 1: to step uside for a few minutes to take our 1556 01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:08,639 Speaker 1: last look at the traffic weather in our different cities. 1557 01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:10,479 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this though, get him all over this, 1558 01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:13,519 Speaker 1: Robbie too.

I have a quick question. 1586 01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:27,080 Speaker 18: A close friend of mine has lung cancer, stayed for 1587 01:31:27,280 --> 01:31:34,040 Speaker 18: lung cancer and he was getting chemo treatment for a 1588 01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:37,680 Speaker 18: little over a month, but his doctor has informed them 1589 01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:39,520 Speaker 18: that his chemo has stopped. 1590 01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:43,160 Speaker 5: Due to I guess things are looking good. 1591 01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:46,320 Speaker 18: But my question is is that normal or what's the 1592 01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:51,080 Speaker 18: next step for someone to stay for cancer who doctor 1593 01:31:51,200 --> 01:31:54,880 Speaker 18: has actually instructed him to stop chemo. 1594 01:31:55,080 --> 01:31:57,360 Speaker 5: What does that mean exactly? Does that mean. 1595 01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:05,400 Speaker 18: He needs to do something different or is it How 1596 01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:12,120 Speaker 18: can I help him go through his process and help 1597 01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:16,040 Speaker 18: him through his cancer because I've never heard of someone 1598 01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:20,080 Speaker 18: whether chemo treatment has stopped. Is that normal? 1599 01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:21,320 Speaker 7: Okay? 1600 01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:26,200 Speaker 8: So the answer the question. First thing is, so we 1601 01:32:26,240 --> 01:32:30,160 Speaker 8: want everybody to understand when we talk about stage four disease, 1602 01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:33,920 Speaker 8: there's stage one to four, and that means that the 1603 01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:38,479 Speaker 8: cancer itself, it's a lung cancer that's moved outside the lung, 1604 01:32:39,120 --> 01:32:41,080 Speaker 8: so it's in different parts of the body. So just 1605 01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:43,599 Speaker 8: so now you get an idea of what you're treating. 1606 01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:51,559 Speaker 8: And there's chemotherapy, but what depending on the type of cancer, 1607 01:32:51,600 --> 01:32:55,640 Speaker 8: because we don't know what type of cancer is, chemotherapy 1608 01:32:55,680 --> 01:32:59,400 Speaker 8: may not be working, but is does your friend live 1609 01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:02,800 Speaker 8: in the where's your friend lives in the in the 1610 01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:05,519 Speaker 8: area near Yes. 1611 01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:09,960 Speaker 18: Yes, he listened in the MV area.

I just thought chemo. 1615 01:33:15,479 --> 01:33:18,719 Speaker 7: You can trying it for the end, uh huh No. 1616 01:33:19,640 --> 01:33:22,200 Speaker 8: So what happens is what their objective is is that 1617 01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:25,360 Speaker 8: we have these technologies now that are able to scan 1618 01:33:25,479 --> 01:33:28,600 Speaker 8: the body and look for areas of cancer. If the 1619 01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:33,160 Speaker 8: chemotherapy has worked and it shuts it kills the cancer 1620 01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:38,280 Speaker 8: and we can't see it anymore, then watching weight and 1621 01:33:38,320 --> 01:33:41,400 Speaker 8: if it comes back again, because he's going to be screaming. 1622 01:33:41,080 --> 01:33:41,840 Speaker 7: You talk with him. 1623 01:33:41,840 --> 01:33:45,759 Speaker 8: He'll be at his doctor's office at least every six months, 1624 01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:48,400 Speaker 8: or in this first case, every three months to kind 1625 01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:50,639 Speaker 8: of follow to see if they've gotten rid of the cancer. 1626 01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:52,760 Speaker 8: But also I want him to let you know you 1627 01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:55,920 Speaker 8: please tell him that that to think about and talk 1628 01:33:56,000 --> 01:33:59,440 Speaker 8: to his doctor about participating in these cutting edge technologies 1629 01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:03,360 Speaker 8: clinical trials.

I thought I would 1650 01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:14,320 Speaker 19: come home and save my own life because I don't 1651 01:35:14,320 --> 01:35:17,679 Speaker 19: think it's wise to put chemo on an open sore. 1652 01:35:17,960 --> 01:35:19,719 Speaker 19: They don't already told me I'm going to die. 1653 01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:21,160 Speaker 7: I'll be dead if I do that. 1654 01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:24,759 Speaker 19: For sure, and they got me really scared, so right now, 1655 01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:27,360 Speaker 19: and then I just got over not too long acoes 1656 01:35:27,640 --> 01:35:32,120 Speaker 19: over internal bleeding. I was sent to the hospital for 1657 01:35:32,240 --> 01:35:35,559 Speaker 19: internal bleeding. So my oldness are sitting in blood right 1658 01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:39,320 Speaker 19: as we speak. So that ain't wise either. But they 1659 01:35:39,320 --> 01:35:42,600 Speaker 19: tell me I have no choice but to have the 1660 01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:46,280 Speaker 19: chemo done. So I said, I'm not getting that. So 1661 01:35:46,320 --> 01:35:48,160 Speaker 19: I just came home and I'm home now. That's where 1662 01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:50,679 Speaker 19: I'm at. I've been home there now for like, on 1663 01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:52,559 Speaker 19: my own, trying to save my own life with some 1664 01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:56,240 Speaker 19: black feedle keep it at bay because I'm not having 1665 01:35:56,240 --> 01:35:58,519 Speaker 19: them put my lights out like that. I think it's 1666 01:35:58,520 --> 01:36:00,400 Speaker 19: something else. I should be able to do to save 1667 01:36:00,439 --> 01:36:03,200 Speaker 19: my own life. And let me tell you one other thing. 1668 01:36:03,360 --> 01:36:06,320 Speaker 19: I have a PageMaker, right, I have a PageMaker. I 1669 01:36:06,360 --> 01:36:09,400 Speaker 19: heard it now in for like one on six years. 1670 01:36:09,880 --> 01:36:11,559 Speaker 19: And I don't think they gave me a battery. 1671 01:36:11,600 --> 01:36:12,120 Speaker 5: Straight up. 1672 01:36:12,360 --> 01:36:15,880 Speaker 19: I never got no energy or anything. The chest pain stop. 1673 01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:19,920 Speaker 19: But I think that it's my PageMaker leaking through my 1674 01:36:20,040 --> 01:36:23,679 Speaker 19: chest with ethic because I did not get a battery. 1675 01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:26,000 Speaker 19: I don't think I got one, And that makes sense 1676 01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:29,000 Speaker 19: to me. It's right there at the breast cancer sore. 1677 01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:33,280 Speaker 19: The sight is up from the pacemaker the so I 1678 01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:36,640 Speaker 19: think that's what's going on. So I can't my partiologist, 1679 01:36:36,680 --> 01:36:39,759 Speaker 19: he just laughed. It's a whole lot of everything I'm having. 1680 01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:41,800 Speaker 19: I'm just catching it, all right. 1681 01:36:41,840 --> 01:36:48,599 Speaker 1: Let's give me a chance to respond, Linda.

I mean, you're 1685 01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:00,320 Speaker 8: in the DMV. You know you're a hopping on one 1686 01:37:00,360 --> 01:37:02,840 Speaker 8: of you guys, Howard.

Now we just 1705 01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:07,640 Speaker 8: need to combine that strong will with some good medicine 1706 01:38:08,240 --> 01:38:13,200 Speaker 8: and science so you can live and tell your story. 1707 01:38:14,320 --> 01:38:17,280 Speaker 1: All right, hopefully she can get a touch you before 1708 01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:19,400 Speaker 1: we leave. But listen, doctor Powers, thank you for giving 1709 01:38:19,439 --> 01:38:21,599 Speaker 1: me some man your time here. I got this tweet 1710 01:38:21,720 --> 01:38:25,559 Speaker 1: question from sister who's listening to us in Ghana. Doctor Crawford, 1711 01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:28,920 Speaker 1: doctor Serrita. She's a holistic practitioner and she lives in Ghana. 1712 01:38:28,960 --> 01:38:32,360 Speaker 1: She says, happy, do damn it. Brother. Cancer has a 1713 01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:35,200 Speaker 1: strong emotional connection. We just don't know how to let 1714 01:38:35,360 --> 01:38:38,479 Speaker 1: stuff go. Emotional trauma can cause you to eat foods 1715 01:38:38,479 --> 01:38:40,680 Speaker 1: that are eating you. We are more addicted to our 1716 01:38:40,720 --> 01:38:44,759 Speaker 1: emotions rather than toxic food or drugs. Once we conquer 1717 01:38:44,800 --> 01:38:47,559 Speaker 1: and bring balance to our emotional trauma, we can find 1718 01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:51,280 Speaker 1: discipline be more intentional about our health. Vegetarian is the 1719 01:38:51,320 --> 01:38:54,920 Speaker 1: way to go, but vegetarians eat too much processed foods. 1720 01:38:54,920 --> 01:39:03,200 Speaker 1: Fresh is always the best. What say you. 1721 01:39:00,600 --> 01:39:07,280 Speaker 8: Cut to the chase emotional trauma, stress and anxiety, that 1722 01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:13,559 Speaker 8: suppressive immune system that allows cancers growth. Second, exactly what 1723 01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:16,559 Speaker 8: you said, get rid of those processed foods. But that 1724 01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:21,960 Speaker 8: processed foods is foods that were developed in the Americas. 1725 01:39:23,320 --> 01:39:26,439 Speaker 8: We'll go back culturally. We had fresh foods every day 1726 01:39:26,479 --> 01:39:28,360 Speaker 8: we went to the market, we looked at we went 1727 01:39:29,240 --> 01:39:33,400 Speaker 8: leafy vegetables. So everything that the system is seeing is 1728 01:39:33,439 --> 01:39:36,640 Speaker 8: absolutely right. I'm just changing the context of how it 1729 01:39:36,720 --> 01:39:41,519 Speaker 8: was said. Stress, anxiety, depression. We can se immune system 1730 01:39:41,600 --> 01:39:43,920 Speaker 8: if if we can sue immune system. Cancers can grow 1731 01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:48,240 Speaker 8: if you don't eat the right diet processed foods. We 1732 01:39:48,280 --> 01:39:53,000 Speaker 8: should not be eating processed foods. If it's not leafy vegetables, 1733 01:39:53,240 --> 01:39:58,720 Speaker 8: if it's not beans, if it's not ancestral flowers, I 1734 01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:03,200 Speaker 8: mean flower, then we should leave them alone. And remember 1735 01:40:03,240 --> 01:40:06,920 Speaker 8: Biden McGee because here we're not getting a lot. 1736 01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:07,400 Speaker 19: Of suns. 1737 01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:11,120 Speaker 1: And so we have I hate to push you on 1738 01:40:11,200 --> 01:40:14,439 Speaker 1: because we're running late.

Let's switch up now in fifteen 1813 01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:19,840 Speaker 1: after top of the out doctor Tyrone Palace, Doctor Powers, 1814 01:44:19,880 --> 01:44:21,479 Speaker 1: thanks for being so patient with us. We're trying to 1815 01:44:21,520 --> 01:44:23,479 Speaker 1: help some people this morning. Well, thank you for being 1816 01:44:23,520 --> 01:44:24,280 Speaker 1: so patient with us. 1817 01:44:25,439 --> 01:44:27,519 Speaker 7: No, thank you, and thank you for having me on call. 1818 01:44:27,600 --> 01:44:30,840 Speaker 7: That was important and significant information. We always talk about 1819 01:44:31,240 --> 01:44:33,680 Speaker 7: changing our community. Well if you can't, if you're not here, 1820 01:44:34,520 --> 01:44:37,400 Speaker 7: we can't change our community. As I always say, if 1821 01:44:37,479 --> 01:44:40,439 Speaker 7: you if you love your children, whether you want to 1822 01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:42,519 Speaker 7: be here or not, it's insignificant. The fact that the 1823 01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:45,800 Speaker 7: matter is they need you here. We can't abandon them 1824 01:44:45,920 --> 01:44:48,400 Speaker 7: on the street corners of this particular nation because we 1825 01:44:48,479 --> 01:44:50,759 Speaker 7: don't take care of our health. So that health piece 1826 01:44:51,560 --> 01:44:54,280 Speaker 7: is a part of anything else we do to change 1827 01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:57,280 Speaker 7: our condition and change our situations. As you know, I 1828 01:44:57,320 --> 01:45:00,120 Speaker 7: went through an aggressive about a cancer three years go. 1829 01:45:00,280 --> 01:45:04,479 Speaker 7: Ended up staying at the Kansas City Cancer Center Treatment 1830 01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:06,920 Speaker 7: of America or the City or Hope now of being 1831 01:45:06,960 --> 01:45:11,200 Speaker 7: Illinois for about five months getting a treatment for aggressive cancer. 1832 01:45:11,880 --> 01:45:15,240 Speaker 7: And so I know in fact that that's an important conversation. 1833 01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:19,120 Speaker 7: Sometimes it's difficult to hear, but my philosophy had always 1834 01:45:19,160 --> 01:45:20,960 Speaker 7: been even when I went up there for treatment. If 1835 01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:23,679 Speaker 7: you're not here, all the things that you talk about, 1836 01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:26,400 Speaker 7: all the knowledge that you know, all the people you're 1837 01:45:26,479 --> 01:45:28,720 Speaker 7: able to help, and all the people you're able to touch, 1838 01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:32,240 Speaker 7: you can't touch anymore, and they may actually suffer from 1839 01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:33,920 Speaker 7: a lack of your being here, in the lack of 1840 01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:36,439 Speaker 7: your analysis. So not only do you want to attend 1841 01:45:36,479 --> 01:45:38,600 Speaker 7: to your health for yourself, you want to attend to 1842 01:45:38,680 --> 01:45:42,439 Speaker 7: your health for those who help your children and children's 1843 01:45:42,520 --> 01:45:44,479 Speaker 7: children and all the other people and all the other 1844 01:45:44,560 --> 01:45:46,360 Speaker 7: things you've done over the course of your life to 1845 01:45:46,439 --> 01:45:46,600 Speaker 7: be a. 1846 01:45:46,640 --> 01:45:49,880 Speaker 1: Part of the solution and I love that message. And 1847 01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:52,160 Speaker 1: I'll tell you well, I've got two friends who have 1848 01:45:52,360 --> 01:45:54,880 Speaker 1: been diagnosed with prostate cancer. They refuse to go to 1849 01:45:54,960 --> 01:45:57,799 Speaker 1: a doctor or holistic doctor. They just refuse to do anything. 1850 01:45:58,080 --> 01:46:00,599 Speaker 1: They think it's going to disappear overnight. Glad you said 1851 01:46:00,640 --> 01:46:03,040 Speaker 1: what you said. Anyway, it's seventeen at the top of 1852 01:46:03,040 --> 01:46:05,160 Speaker 1: the Doctor Powers, I got to take a short way. 1853 01:46:05,200 --> 01:46:07,040 Speaker 1: We come back, we get into what you were called 1854 01:46:07,080 --> 01:46:09,280 Speaker 1: to do. Discuss this morning. Family, you want to join us, 1855 01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:11,479 Speaker 1: reach out to us at eight hundred and four or 1856 01:46:11,520 --> 01:46:14,200 Speaker 1: five zero seventy eight seventy six and we take the 1857 01:46:14,240 --> 01:46:17,400 Speaker 1: phone calls. Next family, Thanks for starting your week with 1858 01:46:17,520 --> 01:46:19,639 Speaker 1: us on this Monday morning. I guess this former FBI 1859 01:46:19,760 --> 01:46:23,600 Speaker 1: agent doctor Tyrone Powers. Doctor Powers just a favorite for 1860 01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:26,120 Speaker 1: doctor Powers gets started. If you know someone who hasn't listened, 1861 01:46:26,560 --> 01:46:28,280 Speaker 1: never turned them, call them up and tell them that 1862 01:46:28,400 --> 01:46:30,840 Speaker 1: doctor Tyrone Pounce is on the radio. They'll thank you 1863 01:46:30,960 --> 01:46:33,759 Speaker 1: for it. So Doctor Powers. First of all, the government 1864 01:46:33,840 --> 01:46:35,599 Speaker 1: shutdown that we're going through right now. 1865 01:46:35,920 --> 01:46:40,240 Speaker 7: Your thoughts about that, Well, it's difficult, obviously, the most difficult. 1866 01:46:40,560 --> 01:46:42,400 Speaker 7: The people who are suffering the most of the people 1867 01:46:42,439 --> 01:46:45,679 Speaker 7: who are furlough and are because of all the threats, 1868 01:46:46,560 --> 01:46:51,280 Speaker 7: are concerned about the ability to take care of their families. 1869 01:46:51,360 --> 01:46:55,200 Speaker 7: In reality, I've talked to some people who I know 1870 01:46:55,280 --> 01:46:59,800 Speaker 7: who work in certain intelligence physicians and they said, it's 1871 01:46:59,800 --> 01:47:04,000 Speaker 7: such a sad situation because doing breaks and doing lunch breaks, 1872 01:47:04,200 --> 01:47:07,920 Speaker 7: doing dinner breaks, you have these people who are adamantly 1873 01:47:08,080 --> 01:47:10,960 Speaker 7: at each other's throats, the Democrats and Republicans, and they're 1874 01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:13,800 Speaker 7: having dinner, they're having lunch, they're laughing together, they're talking 1875 01:47:13,800 --> 01:47:16,880 Speaker 7: about family issues and family vacations. And then when the 1876 01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:20,640 Speaker 7: cameras come on, they look like the most they it 1877 01:47:20,640 --> 01:47:23,760 Speaker 7: look like they oppose each other, like their enemies. And 1878 01:47:23,960 --> 01:47:26,760 Speaker 7: he said, the sad part about it is that even 1879 01:47:26,840 --> 01:47:29,080 Speaker 7: as they laugh together, and that doesn't mean they're not 1880 01:47:29,200 --> 01:47:31,800 Speaker 7: sincere about the stance they're taken, but even as they 1881 01:47:31,960 --> 01:47:34,719 Speaker 7: laugh together, they are people in anxiety and fear and stress. 1882 01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:38,040 Speaker 7: In fact, your last your guys guests just talked about 1883 01:47:38,120 --> 01:47:40,920 Speaker 7: the danger and the significance of stress to people who 1884 01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:43,840 Speaker 7: are already under stressed and sick. So it's not just 1885 01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:46,240 Speaker 7: a matter of being shut down down and when you 1886 01:47:46,400 --> 01:47:47,880 Speaker 7: go back to work, or if you go back to 1887 01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:50,760 Speaker 7: work and it's the stress that you are producing and 1888 01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:54,120 Speaker 7: so many people as to whether they will get to 1889 01:47:54,200 --> 01:47:56,479 Speaker 7: go back to work, and if they go back to work, 1890 01:47:56,600 --> 01:47:58,600 Speaker 7: what it will look like. And I think that the 1891 01:47:58,720 --> 01:48:04,240 Speaker 7: people who are making the decisions don't really consider that. 1892 01:48:04,320 --> 01:48:07,040 Speaker 7: But that's not a unique situation. I've learned that from 1893 01:48:07,080 --> 01:48:10,800 Speaker 7: my position as a special agent and with the FBI 1894 01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:14,400 Speaker 7: and also the supervisor with the FBI, that the citizens 1895 01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:17,080 Speaker 7: sometimes become a means to an end rather than the 1896 01:48:17,200 --> 01:48:20,800 Speaker 7: in and of itself. And that's the difficult thing about this, 1897 01:48:21,040 --> 01:48:25,640 Speaker 7: the conversation right now, those subtle workers, their employees. The 1898 01:48:26,479 --> 01:48:29,439 Speaker 7: advantage of the way they're going through this now is 1899 01:48:29,479 --> 01:48:33,679 Speaker 7: that both sides, Republicans and the Democrats, are concerned about 1900 01:48:34,040 --> 01:48:38,720 Speaker 7: people being unemployed as they hit the holiday season, which 1901 01:48:38,760 --> 01:48:41,960 Speaker 7: is the day that companies and corporations go from red 1902 01:48:42,040 --> 01:48:45,719 Speaker 7: to black. So they're getting pressure from the public obviously 1903 01:48:45,960 --> 01:48:49,640 Speaker 7: to get to settle this thing and however they sell it, 1904 01:48:49,720 --> 01:48:53,360 Speaker 7: but they're also getting pressure and President Trump is getting 1905 01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:55,840 Speaker 7: pressure from his corporate friends and saying we can't go 1906 01:48:56,000 --> 01:48:59,600 Speaker 7: into October and November with people being unemployed because this 1907 01:48:59,720 --> 01:49:01,599 Speaker 7: is when and they spend their money with us, which 1908 01:49:01,680 --> 01:49:03,760 Speaker 7: boosts our business would take us from the red into 1909 01:49:03,840 --> 01:49:06,160 Speaker 7: the black. So there's a lot of consideration, a lot 1910 01:49:06,200 --> 01:49:09,960 Speaker 7: of conversations going on. But the most difficult aspect of 1911 01:49:10,040 --> 01:49:13,680 Speaker 7: this are the people who are phaarlough, who the programs 1912 01:49:13,720 --> 01:49:15,599 Speaker 7: that have been cut, and the people who are losing 1913 01:49:15,680 --> 01:49:18,080 Speaker 7: services as a result of this, as these people in 1914 01:49:18,160 --> 01:49:21,320 Speaker 7: positions of power play a game of political chicken. 1915 01:49:22,320 --> 01:49:24,040 Speaker 1: All right, fad me just to join us. I guess this, 1916 01:49:24,200 --> 01:49:26,920 Speaker 1: Doctor Tyrone Powis is a former FBI agent, and you'd 1917 01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:28,439 Speaker 1: like to speak to him. Reach out to us at 1918 01:49:28,479 --> 01:49:31,639 Speaker 1: eight hundred four or five zero seventy eight seventy six, 1919 01:49:31,800 --> 01:49:34,560 Speaker 1: doctor Poerce. Recently, the Trump administration had a meeting with 1920 01:49:34,840 --> 01:49:36,720 Speaker 1: some of our top generals. They flew them all in 1921 01:49:36,840 --> 01:49:40,280 Speaker 1: from all across the world and come in for a 1922 01:49:40,360 --> 01:49:42,880 Speaker 1: meeting and sit down meeting and sort of dress them down, 1923 01:49:42,960 --> 01:49:44,600 Speaker 1: if you will. So that's how some people saw it, 1924 01:49:46,040 --> 01:49:47,880 Speaker 1: the significance of that meeting, because people are trying to 1925 01:49:47,880 --> 01:49:50,479 Speaker 1: figure out why couldn't this done by an email? Why 1926 01:49:50,560 --> 01:49:53,560 Speaker 1: couldn't this done by zoom? How do you see it? 1927 01:49:54,479 --> 01:49:56,680 Speaker 7: Well, there's a couple of things here that is a 1928 01:49:56,760 --> 01:50:00,559 Speaker 7: clear indication the disadministration and all those who are having 1929 01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:04,320 Speaker 7: these agencies. The Secretary of Defense, he can call hisself 1930 01:50:04,400 --> 01:50:07,440 Speaker 7: the secretary with the Secretary his title to the Secretary 1931 01:50:07,479 --> 01:50:11,000 Speaker 7: of War. Come back from the early the Eisenhower administration 1932 01:50:11,240 --> 01:50:14,439 Speaker 7: when the Dulles brothers, Alan and Foster believe that there 1933 01:50:14,479 --> 01:50:16,559 Speaker 7: should be a Department of War instead of a Department 1934 01:50:16,600 --> 01:50:19,040 Speaker 7: of Defense. And he's just regressing to that and hoping 1935 01:50:19,080 --> 01:50:22,240 Speaker 7: that people don't realize and understand that history and how 1936 01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:24,800 Speaker 7: austray it went with the Cuba and missile crisis and 1937 01:50:24,880 --> 01:50:27,640 Speaker 7: everything else during that particular time. But it just a 1938 01:50:27,800 --> 01:50:31,840 Speaker 7: clear indication of their lack of understanding of how intelligence 1939 01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:34,760 Speaker 7: work around here and around the world. And I'm sure 1940 01:50:34,880 --> 01:50:39,400 Speaker 7: that heads of intelligence agencies, whether they're in Russia or China, 1941 01:50:39,960 --> 01:50:42,920 Speaker 7: is kind of laughing at this. First of all. Strategically, 1942 01:50:43,760 --> 01:50:47,400 Speaker 7: strategically and historically, you can go back centuries, you never 1943 01:50:47,479 --> 01:50:50,599 Speaker 7: bring all your military leaders together in one place at 1944 01:50:50,680 --> 01:50:54,120 Speaker 7: one time, even if you have high security, only because 1945 01:50:54,160 --> 01:50:57,000 Speaker 7: if something happened at that place and at that time, 1946 01:50:57,560 --> 01:51:01,720 Speaker 7: they dispersing them and getting messages would be a difficult proposition, 1947 01:51:01,880 --> 01:51:04,519 Speaker 7: even in the age of advanced technology. So it's not 1948 01:51:04,640 --> 01:51:07,840 Speaker 7: even a good strategic move. I'm just talking about summing 1949 01:51:07,920 --> 01:51:10,719 Speaker 7: them to all play one place in one time, because 1950 01:51:10,920 --> 01:51:14,720 Speaker 7: you just never do that. There's no intelligence agency or 1951 01:51:14,760 --> 01:51:20,000 Speaker 7: intelligence apparatus or security apparatus in the world in any 1952 01:51:20,080 --> 01:51:24,479 Speaker 7: country that would assemble all the people in one location 1953 01:51:25,240 --> 01:51:27,880 Speaker 7: at one particular time. You know, we even have policies 1954 01:51:27,920 --> 01:51:30,519 Speaker 7: in this particular country which try to keep the president 1955 01:51:30,560 --> 01:51:33,400 Speaker 7: and the vice president separated as much as they can. 1956 01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:37,240 Speaker 7: Hawking back to what happened in Dallas, Van Johnson and 1957 01:51:37,400 --> 01:51:40,080 Speaker 7: Kennedy was in the same motiicate, and then after that 1958 01:51:40,240 --> 01:51:42,520 Speaker 7: we said, no, we can't have them in close proximity 1959 01:51:42,600 --> 01:51:44,160 Speaker 7: to each other at the same time if we can 1960 01:51:44,240 --> 01:51:45,960 Speaker 7: help it, maybe for a short period of time at 1961 01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:48,479 Speaker 7: the White House or on some trip, but usually we 1962 01:51:48,600 --> 01:51:51,360 Speaker 7: separate them for that very reason so that they're not 1963 01:51:51,479 --> 01:51:54,880 Speaker 7: in one place. So it's just a clear indication then 1964 01:51:54,920 --> 01:51:58,840 Speaker 7: we're under administration that it's trying to mimic some history 1965 01:51:58,920 --> 01:52:04,240 Speaker 7: without an understanding of how this thing works worldwide and 1966 01:52:04,920 --> 01:52:09,120 Speaker 7: other nations, whether it's China who have actually increased their 1967 01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:14,560 Speaker 7: intelligence apparatus and their military lorialization and their military apparatus, 1968 01:52:15,080 --> 01:52:17,479 Speaker 7: or Russia who has had it by Vladimir Putin, who 1969 01:52:17,560 --> 01:52:20,040 Speaker 7: used to be had of what was then called the KGB, 1970 01:52:20,680 --> 01:52:23,439 Speaker 7: who understand intelligence from the time that they were in 1971 01:52:23,479 --> 01:52:25,960 Speaker 7: their mid teens, are looking at this and it's a 1972 01:52:26,040 --> 01:52:28,880 Speaker 7: clear indication that they're dealing with amateurs in a nation 1973 01:52:29,479 --> 01:52:35,800 Speaker 7: with vast capabilities, but without vast intelligence at the intelligence level. 1974 01:52:35,880 --> 01:52:38,519 Speaker 7: It's for them to have an intelligence briefing with the 1975 01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:41,960 Speaker 7: military people there, it's just not very intelligent. Secondly, there 1976 01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:45,519 Speaker 7: are people in that room right or wrong, doesn't mean 1977 01:52:45,560 --> 01:52:48,400 Speaker 7: you like them or dislike them, who have so much 1978 01:52:49,920 --> 01:52:53,400 Speaker 7: military understanding and brilliants who fought in wars, who have 1979 01:52:53,920 --> 01:52:58,720 Speaker 7: read intelligence reports, who have looked at and reviewed the 1980 01:52:58,840 --> 01:53:02,880 Speaker 7: intelligence reports of other nations through the intelligence apparatus. That's 1981 01:53:02,920 --> 01:53:05,559 Speaker 7: part of what I did was I worked the feign 1982 01:53:05,600 --> 01:53:08,840 Speaker 7: counter intelligence and intelligence with the FBI, who are saying 1983 01:53:08,920 --> 01:53:11,720 Speaker 7: to themselves and listening to Peter Headset and listening to 1984 01:53:11,960 --> 01:53:16,000 Speaker 7: him give this message that other nations and intelligence agencies 1985 01:53:16,040 --> 01:53:18,920 Speaker 7: are hearing and saying, this is the worst possible thing 1986 01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:21,880 Speaker 7: that can happen. Now, we were trained that you march 1987 01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:24,559 Speaker 7: for whoever is the president, whether they are the jackass 1988 01:53:25,200 --> 01:53:28,040 Speaker 7: or the elephant, whoever they are the agencies and the 1989 01:53:28,120 --> 01:53:31,280 Speaker 7: individuals who work for these agencies. The military command staff 1990 01:53:31,680 --> 01:53:34,720 Speaker 7: march for whoever is in office, because their mind is 1991 01:53:34,880 --> 01:53:39,120 Speaker 7: specifically and narrowly set on the defense of the nation, 1992 01:53:40,040 --> 01:53:43,200 Speaker 7: so to speak, or the mission that the president has 1993 01:53:43,280 --> 01:53:45,840 Speaker 7: in place. But they'll they'll sit there and listen to it. 1994 01:53:45,920 --> 01:53:48,160 Speaker 7: They didn't understand it. It was the clear indication that 1995 01:53:49,080 --> 01:53:51,479 Speaker 7: the inmates are run in the asylum, but they will 1996 01:53:51,720 --> 01:53:54,519 Speaker 7: continue to do their job. But it made no logical sense, 1997 01:53:54,560 --> 01:53:56,520 Speaker 7: and around the world it was kind of an embarrassment, 1998 01:53:56,680 --> 01:53:59,040 Speaker 7: even though countries won't say it at this particular point 1999 01:53:59,560 --> 01:54:02,240 Speaker 7: because of the threat of Trump. 2000 01:54:03,439 --> 01:54:05,200 Speaker 1: Having said all of that in twenty seven. At the 2001 01:54:05,240 --> 01:54:07,479 Speaker 1: top are the fact that here's here's a five time 2002 01:54:07,640 --> 01:54:09,720 Speaker 1: draft dodger that you never put on a uniform, and 2003 01:54:09,800 --> 01:54:12,600 Speaker 1: he's going to tell us how to work what we 2004 01:54:12,680 --> 01:54:15,479 Speaker 1: should do. Did do you think that went over? It's 2005 01:54:15,560 --> 01:54:17,439 Speaker 1: like I'm telling the plumber what to do. I've never 2006 01:54:17,560 --> 01:54:20,040 Speaker 1: i don't know anything about plumbing or electrician, and I'm 2007 01:54:20,040 --> 01:54:21,800 Speaker 1: telling them how to do their job. How do you 2008 01:54:21,840 --> 01:54:22,479 Speaker 1: think that went over? 2009 01:54:22,560 --> 01:54:22,600 Speaker 11: It? 2010 01:54:23,200 --> 01:54:25,800 Speaker 7: It didn't go very well. They won't voice that because 2011 01:54:25,800 --> 01:54:29,320 Speaker 7: they're military people, and military people follow the chain of command. 2012 01:54:29,840 --> 01:54:34,240 Speaker 7: So they won't express it publicly. They may express it privately. 2013 01:54:34,320 --> 01:54:37,160 Speaker 7: They may express it amongst each other, and they may 2014 01:54:37,240 --> 01:54:42,760 Speaker 7: express because it was such a a unprecedented and ramlin 2015 01:54:42,880 --> 01:54:46,600 Speaker 7: presentation that truly indicated more than anything of lack of 2016 01:54:46,800 --> 01:54:52,360 Speaker 7: understanding of how it works. They are probably in there 2017 01:54:53,080 --> 01:54:55,000 Speaker 7: and they will never say this, and they never admit this. 2018 01:54:55,080 --> 01:54:59,000 Speaker 7: They're putting contingency plans in place because this technically is 2019 01:54:59,080 --> 01:55:03,200 Speaker 7: not a monarchy. So technically the three branches of government, 2020 01:55:03,320 --> 01:55:07,080 Speaker 7: the government itself is not dictated by one individual, and 2021 01:55:07,280 --> 01:55:11,600 Speaker 7: you cannot allow one individual to undo according with these 2022 01:55:11,680 --> 01:55:14,720 Speaker 7: military leaders and intelligence officials and others, all that have 2023 01:55:14,800 --> 01:55:17,840 Speaker 7: been done over the years. So even as these things 2024 01:55:17,920 --> 01:55:20,960 Speaker 7: are taking place, they're probably contingency plans in place, which 2025 01:55:21,360 --> 01:55:24,520 Speaker 7: creates a whole nother chaotic condition. And the Russians all where, 2026 01:55:24,560 --> 01:55:28,920 Speaker 7: but especially Vladimir pet again one thing about whether you 2027 01:55:29,160 --> 01:55:32,000 Speaker 7: like her or liked her a ditionlike didn't like her 2028 01:55:32,080 --> 01:55:36,600 Speaker 7: politics conderlyse Rice did numerous books, did several books on 2029 01:55:36,760 --> 01:55:40,879 Speaker 7: the mind of the Russian leadership, including their intelligence agency. 2030 01:55:40,960 --> 01:55:44,040 Speaker 7: She wrote some detailed books that Stanford about this, which 2031 01:55:44,080 --> 01:55:47,200 Speaker 7: is why Bush brought on as a national security advisor. Again, 2032 01:55:47,240 --> 01:55:48,920 Speaker 7: you don't have to like their politics, but I'm just 2033 01:55:49,000 --> 01:55:52,560 Speaker 7: talking about their qualifications. And if you read her books, 2034 01:55:52,600 --> 01:55:55,680 Speaker 7: she can clearly understand how these people dissect the mind 2035 01:55:55,800 --> 01:55:58,440 Speaker 7: of presidents of the United States and every other nation. 2036 01:55:58,840 --> 01:56:02,960 Speaker 7: The psychological filet and the behavioral analysis is part of 2037 01:56:03,040 --> 01:56:06,320 Speaker 7: your defense mechanism. Is how you decide on the strategies 2038 01:56:06,320 --> 01:56:08,360 Speaker 7: you're gonna put in place, when you're gonna put it 2039 01:56:08,400 --> 01:56:10,920 Speaker 7: in place, and how you're gonna put him in place. 2040 01:56:11,040 --> 01:56:13,160 Speaker 7: And they're watching this too. It didn't go well. Now, 2041 01:56:13,240 --> 01:56:16,200 Speaker 7: let me say this to you. Initially, the whole philosophy 2042 01:56:16,280 --> 01:56:19,000 Speaker 7: of having the president as commander in chief was the 2043 01:56:19,120 --> 01:56:22,200 Speaker 7: idea that you would have a civilian rather than a 2044 01:56:22,400 --> 01:56:26,040 Speaker 7: military hawk over the government. And that was their exceptions 2045 01:56:26,120 --> 01:56:30,440 Speaker 7: obviously with Truman, with Eisenhowell, who were both military commanders, 2046 01:56:30,480 --> 01:56:33,080 Speaker 7: and then even with President Kennedy who was in the 2047 01:56:33,160 --> 01:56:37,440 Speaker 7: military and wrote a book about his leadership on Pg. 2048 01:56:37,560 --> 01:56:39,360 Speaker 7: One oh nine when he got injured on the boat 2049 01:56:39,400 --> 01:56:42,160 Speaker 7: which led partly to him not being able to get 2050 01:56:42,200 --> 01:56:45,160 Speaker 7: down during this assassination, which is another story. But so 2051 01:56:45,320 --> 01:56:48,839 Speaker 7: we've had civilian people in those positions, but in almost 2052 01:56:48,920 --> 01:56:52,520 Speaker 7: every case, to some extent, they have been intelligent enough 2053 01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:58,160 Speaker 7: to delegate and to bring in people politics aside, like 2054 01:56:58,240 --> 01:57:03,520 Speaker 7: a condoles of rights or other people who understood intelligence, history, 2055 01:57:04,080 --> 01:57:07,840 Speaker 7: strategy and these things, and what the president did being 2056 01:57:08,240 --> 01:57:12,880 Speaker 7: essentially incompetent on these issues themselves, but then other incompetent people. 2057 01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:16,720 Speaker 7: That's why it is unprecedented to have a Pete headset 2058 01:57:16,840 --> 01:57:21,200 Speaker 7: heading their defense agency. Usually if you're a president and 2059 01:57:21,320 --> 01:57:24,880 Speaker 7: you're not Eisenhoward Trubren, you haven't been a military command, 2060 01:57:24,920 --> 01:57:27,640 Speaker 7: and then you bring in people who have been because 2061 01:57:27,760 --> 01:57:30,880 Speaker 7: you expect their knowledge over your knowledge. You are elected 2062 01:57:30,920 --> 01:57:34,680 Speaker 7: because of your popularity or because of your presentation, or 2063 01:57:34,760 --> 01:57:37,560 Speaker 7: because of who people didn't like, not based on your 2064 01:57:37,640 --> 01:57:42,360 Speaker 7: expertise on all things military and intelligence, and defense obviously 2065 01:57:42,720 --> 01:57:45,200 Speaker 7: is the number one aspect of any particular nation, because 2066 01:57:45,200 --> 01:57:47,160 Speaker 7: if you can't defend your nation, you really don't have 2067 01:57:47,240 --> 01:57:52,360 Speaker 7: an independent nation. So that's what we're looking at this 2068 01:57:52,520 --> 01:57:53,400 Speaker 7: particular situation. 2069 01:57:53,520 --> 01:57:54,240 Speaker 15: And they all know it. 2070 01:57:54,400 --> 01:57:56,680 Speaker 7: All those military leaders who had fought in those wars 2071 01:57:56,720 --> 01:57:59,720 Speaker 7: and rumors right or wrong, good wars and wars that 2072 01:57:59,800 --> 01:58:02,560 Speaker 7: they should never have been involved in, in secret operations 2073 01:58:02,600 --> 01:58:05,880 Speaker 7: and covert operations. All of them know that they're looking 2074 01:58:05,920 --> 01:58:09,080 Speaker 7: at an administration and the top of organizations like the 2075 01:58:09,120 --> 01:58:12,760 Speaker 7: Secretary of Defense, who don't have a clear understanding of 2076 01:58:12,880 --> 01:58:15,200 Speaker 7: how this thing is done, and they do understand that 2077 01:58:15,240 --> 01:58:17,840 Speaker 7: they're putting us country more at risk than they are 2078 01:58:17,920 --> 01:58:20,880 Speaker 7: at any other advantage. Which is why China is getting 2079 01:58:20,960 --> 01:58:23,960 Speaker 7: bold and bolder in this expansion, both militarily and in 2080 01:58:24,040 --> 01:58:27,720 Speaker 7: its relationships with African nations and nations another part of 2081 01:58:27,800 --> 01:58:29,280 Speaker 7: the world in the Middle East and so on and 2082 01:58:29,400 --> 01:58:31,840 Speaker 7: so forth, because they believe they have someone who don't 2083 01:58:31,920 --> 01:58:34,680 Speaker 7: understand it that they can have a conversation with. They 2084 01:58:34,760 --> 01:58:37,800 Speaker 7: can give a few concessions to on Turffs, but what 2085 01:58:38,040 --> 01:58:41,160 Speaker 7: weaken the nation technically militarily. 2086 01:58:42,000 --> 01:58:44,440 Speaker 1: Twenty twenty eight minutes away from the top of other 2087 01:58:44,520 --> 01:58:47,120 Speaker 1: Doctor Terren Powers, as I mentioned, he's a former FBI 2088 01:58:47,200 --> 01:58:50,520 Speaker 1: agent and doctor Powers cash Betail and now runs a 2089 01:58:50,560 --> 01:58:53,440 Speaker 1: department that you were involved. Is he on the brink? 2090 01:58:53,640 --> 01:58:56,160 Speaker 1: Is some people are upset with his reaction to the 2091 01:58:56,280 --> 01:58:59,360 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk shooting. If he was at this fancy Manhattan 2092 01:58:59,440 --> 01:59:02,160 Speaker 1: restaurant when they're shooting and he didn't rush out right 2093 01:59:02,200 --> 01:59:04,520 Speaker 1: away and he gave to the account, you know, also 2094 01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:07,800 Speaker 1: the missteps that he made, and they're adding them up 2095 01:59:07,840 --> 01:59:10,400 Speaker 1: and saying that he'll soon be replaced. I don't know 2096 01:59:10,440 --> 01:59:12,640 Speaker 1: if you've got any intelligence that you can share with us, 2097 01:59:12,680 --> 01:59:15,040 Speaker 1: for folks who you work with or people who are 2098 01:59:15,080 --> 01:59:15,960 Speaker 1: still in the agency. 2099 01:59:16,080 --> 01:59:19,240 Speaker 7: But what do you know, Well, he's not very respected 2100 01:59:19,320 --> 01:59:21,640 Speaker 7: in the agency because of his lack of knowledge, lack 2101 01:59:21,680 --> 01:59:24,680 Speaker 7: of discipline, and lack of what they call discretion in 2102 01:59:24,800 --> 01:59:30,600 Speaker 7: other words, So when that particular incident occurred, the fact 2103 01:59:30,640 --> 01:59:36,080 Speaker 7: that he came out immediately that he usurped the authority 2104 01:59:36,400 --> 01:59:41,400 Speaker 7: and the professionalism of the local agencies because what the FBI. 2105 01:59:41,600 --> 01:59:44,920 Speaker 7: The reason that Jegi Hoover created the FBI's National Academy 2106 01:59:45,080 --> 01:59:48,200 Speaker 7: is that there was this feeling and it wasn't about 2107 01:59:49,080 --> 01:59:53,240 Speaker 7: some evidence that the FBI always came in under this supremacy, 2108 01:59:53,320 --> 01:59:56,640 Speaker 7: cause fulosity that the federal government has power over the 2109 01:59:56,680 --> 01:59:59,840 Speaker 7: state and local government and took over cases and subjugated 2110 02:00:00,320 --> 02:00:04,440 Speaker 7: the agencies. Well after that, realizing that that was actually 2111 02:00:04,600 --> 02:00:09,000 Speaker 7: hindering FBI investigations, hindering what police agencies who were on 2112 02:00:09,200 --> 02:00:12,360 Speaker 7: the ground every single day, was willing to share with 2113 02:00:12,480 --> 02:00:15,240 Speaker 7: the FBI, they decided to create what they called the 2114 02:00:15,360 --> 02:00:18,880 Speaker 7: National Academy, which they bring in police chiefs, police commanders, 2115 02:00:19,200 --> 02:00:21,080 Speaker 7: and not only do they train them in the most 2116 02:00:21,120 --> 02:00:24,880 Speaker 7: advanced technology and resources that the FBI and other intelligence 2117 02:00:24,920 --> 02:00:28,520 Speaker 7: agencies or other law enforcement agencies have around the world, 2118 02:00:28,800 --> 02:00:31,960 Speaker 7: but they tried to develop a relationship. At Quantico Virginia, 2119 02:00:32,200 --> 02:00:34,960 Speaker 7: there's a location called the Boardroom, which is like a 2120 02:00:35,520 --> 02:00:39,480 Speaker 7: bar and lounge within the training facility at Quantico Virginia. 2121 02:00:39,800 --> 02:00:42,080 Speaker 7: And the hope was that after classes during a day 2122 02:00:42,120 --> 02:00:45,480 Speaker 7: with these police chiefs, commanders, supervisors, so on, and so forth, 2123 02:00:45,760 --> 02:00:48,440 Speaker 7: they would go up, they would have informal conversation, and 2124 02:00:48,480 --> 02:00:50,640 Speaker 7: you would create a relationship. So when you had an 2125 02:00:50,680 --> 02:00:53,480 Speaker 7: incident like what happened in Uchae, the director of the 2126 02:00:53,640 --> 02:00:57,760 Speaker 7: FBI or any other agent special agent in charge of 2127 02:00:57,840 --> 02:01:00,960 Speaker 7: that particular division in that location, wouldn't you serve the 2128 02:01:01,040 --> 02:01:03,280 Speaker 7: power of the local authorities and try to make them 2129 02:01:03,320 --> 02:01:07,120 Speaker 7: look bad or incompetent by putting out information without it 2130 02:01:07,200 --> 02:01:10,520 Speaker 7: being a joint press conference, a joint conversation, or at 2131 02:01:10,560 --> 02:01:14,680 Speaker 7: the very least getting permission or a nod if not permission, 2132 02:01:14,960 --> 02:01:17,320 Speaker 7: if not formal permission from that agency that you can 2133 02:01:17,680 --> 02:01:21,120 Speaker 7: put this particular thing out, So you're creating now with 2134 02:01:21,240 --> 02:01:27,280 Speaker 7: this particular FBI director, a more of an antagonistic relationship 2135 02:01:27,400 --> 02:01:32,160 Speaker 7: between the state and local agencies. They won't voice it. Again, 2136 02:01:32,240 --> 02:01:36,280 Speaker 7: all of them need federal funding from this president for 2137 02:01:36,520 --> 02:01:39,040 Speaker 7: their agencies to function. Because there's not a police agency 2138 02:01:39,080 --> 02:01:41,320 Speaker 7: in the United States that doesn't get some federal funding. 2139 02:01:41,400 --> 02:01:44,000 Speaker 7: It didn't get some federal help to carry out the 2140 02:01:44,200 --> 02:01:47,520 Speaker 7: task and deeds that they do, they won't voice it. 2141 02:01:47,720 --> 02:01:51,560 Speaker 7: But this is a unique situation for them for a 2142 02:01:52,200 --> 02:01:54,600 Speaker 7: director of the FBI to be tweeting about a case 2143 02:01:54,640 --> 02:01:57,600 Speaker 7: that at that time was essentially being handled by the 2144 02:01:57,640 --> 02:02:01,640 Speaker 7: local police department because it was a murder, It wasn't politically, 2145 02:02:01,680 --> 02:02:04,480 Speaker 7: he wasn't in a political office. He wasn't. Now the 2146 02:02:04,640 --> 02:02:07,880 Speaker 7: FBI and at the behest of the local police or 2147 02:02:07,920 --> 02:02:10,280 Speaker 7: the behest of the mayor or the governor of a 2148 02:02:10,400 --> 02:02:12,920 Speaker 7: state come in and help them with that investigation. But 2149 02:02:13,040 --> 02:02:15,240 Speaker 7: at that time it belonged to them. And so the 2150 02:02:15,400 --> 02:02:19,520 Speaker 7: FBI director had no business whatsoever of sending out tweets 2151 02:02:19,600 --> 02:02:23,120 Speaker 7: or press conferences or updates because at that time it 2152 02:02:23,240 --> 02:02:26,240 Speaker 7: was still a local matter, and he overstepped his downs. 2153 02:02:26,320 --> 02:02:30,480 Speaker 7: So and there is more of a heightened antagonism, and 2154 02:02:30,880 --> 02:02:34,160 Speaker 7: these antagonisms are not minor in this sense that the 2155 02:02:34,600 --> 02:02:38,800 Speaker 7: FBI can do nothing in terms of solving investigations of 2156 02:02:38,880 --> 02:02:43,320 Speaker 7: our assistants from local police officers, local organizations in state 2157 02:02:43,400 --> 02:02:45,960 Speaker 7: and entities because the agents are not on the ground 2158 02:02:46,040 --> 02:02:47,760 Speaker 7: like that. You've got to remember there's twenty nine to 2159 02:02:47,880 --> 02:02:51,320 Speaker 7: thirty thousand FBI agents in the entire nation with a 2160 02:02:51,400 --> 02:02:55,080 Speaker 7: priority of fighting terrorism, counter terrorism, homeland security. They got 2161 02:02:55,120 --> 02:02:58,000 Speaker 7: two hundred and sixty on federal violations that they have 2162 02:02:58,120 --> 02:03:00,200 Speaker 7: to be involved in, so there's just not another for 2163 02:03:00,240 --> 02:03:03,680 Speaker 7: them to go around, despite the technology and the force multipliers, 2164 02:03:03,720 --> 02:03:07,160 Speaker 7: which is the technology in their relationships, but relationships is 2165 02:03:07,200 --> 02:03:09,160 Speaker 7: one of those force multipliers. And when you have a 2166 02:03:09,240 --> 02:03:14,280 Speaker 7: director of the FBI who are mitigating and overstepping boundaries 2167 02:03:14,560 --> 02:03:17,520 Speaker 7: or things that have been built up so that the 2168 02:03:18,040 --> 02:03:22,200 Speaker 7: force multiplier of relationships wouldn't be mitigating, then you have 2169 02:03:22,440 --> 02:03:24,600 Speaker 7: a situation that create chaos. And some of them are 2170 02:03:24,640 --> 02:03:29,640 Speaker 7: probably if not overtly, but covertly mentioning this to the 2171 02:03:29,720 --> 02:03:33,960 Speaker 7: President and his administration, the disrespect of this particular situation, 2172 02:03:34,080 --> 02:03:35,720 Speaker 7: and they hope it doesn't happen in the area and 2173 02:03:35,840 --> 02:03:39,240 Speaker 7: then to go along with that, you have a president 2174 02:03:39,360 --> 02:03:43,360 Speaker 7: who's senter National Guard in the cities where state and 2175 02:03:43,440 --> 02:03:44,800 Speaker 7: local entities don't want them. 2176 02:03:45,520 --> 02:03:47,440 Speaker 1: And I thought, right there, Doc, we've got to step 2177 02:03:47,440 --> 02:03:48,960 Speaker 1: aside for a few hours. We'll come back. We'll talk 2178 02:03:48,960 --> 02:03:50,920 Speaker 1: about that as well, and Mike and DC has a 2179 02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:53,480 Speaker 1: comment or a question for you.

All right, doctor Powers, why 2201 02:04:50,880 --> 02:04:52,760 Speaker 1: don't you finish your thought that Mike has a question 2202 02:04:52,920 --> 02:04:55,000 Speaker 1: or a comment for you from Washington, DC. 2203 02:04:56,240 --> 02:04:59,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, I was saying those relationships that have been built, man, 2204 02:04:59,320 --> 02:05:02,080 Speaker 7: most people a bound about them of being severed by 2205 02:05:02,520 --> 02:05:06,760 Speaker 7: this administration. The state and local governments. Even the organizations 2206 02:05:06,800 --> 02:05:10,600 Speaker 7: that are usually more in tune with this kind of administrations, 2207 02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:14,480 Speaker 7: like the FOP a little bit concerned because when you 2208 02:05:14,760 --> 02:05:19,400 Speaker 7: send in federal troops, what you're saying is that and 2209 02:05:19,480 --> 02:05:23,800 Speaker 7: you're saying that the cities have failed. You're specifically saying 2210 02:05:23,920 --> 02:05:29,080 Speaker 7: that police command, police officers, police lieutendants, police officers have failed, 2211 02:05:29,120 --> 02:05:30,800 Speaker 7: and you've got to come in and show them how 2212 02:05:30,840 --> 02:05:34,520 Speaker 7: it's done. That's the subtle message. So therein even they 2213 02:05:34,680 --> 02:05:39,760 Speaker 7: have kind of a problem here is this is difficult 2214 02:05:39,800 --> 02:05:45,040 Speaker 7: for them because they like the conservatism of this president. 2215 02:05:45,160 --> 02:05:48,879 Speaker 7: That organization have always not been very progressive in my opinion. 2216 02:05:50,200 --> 02:05:53,440 Speaker 7: But on the other hand, the subtle message is that 2217 02:05:53,920 --> 02:05:56,760 Speaker 7: I'm going to send in federal people because your people 2218 02:05:56,760 --> 02:05:59,880 Speaker 7: are somehow incompetent and can't do what need to be 2219 02:06:00,080 --> 02:06:02,760 Speaker 7: due to dramatically reduced crime in the city station nation. 2220 02:06:03,280 --> 02:06:07,760 Speaker 7: So the FOP is of an organization that they want 2221 02:06:07,840 --> 02:06:10,800 Speaker 7: the resources, but at the same time they see that 2222 02:06:11,160 --> 02:06:15,560 Speaker 7: they're being insulted even as they're being by the very 2223 02:06:15,680 --> 02:06:18,760 Speaker 7: people who in the philosophy that they support from a 2224 02:06:18,840 --> 02:06:22,600 Speaker 7: political standpoint. So it's an interesting time about relationships that 2225 02:06:22,680 --> 02:06:24,680 Speaker 7: have been built up over the years that are being severed, 2226 02:06:25,040 --> 02:06:29,720 Speaker 7: intelligence organizations and intelligence operations, and connections and relationships with 2227 02:06:29,880 --> 02:06:36,640 Speaker 7: other nations that in the past have assisted in mitigating 2228 02:06:36,680 --> 02:06:39,680 Speaker 7: their likelihood of reducing the likelihood of terrorist attack here 2229 02:06:39,720 --> 02:06:42,920 Speaker 7: because other nations who had a relationship with the United States, 2230 02:06:42,960 --> 02:06:46,320 Speaker 7: and for no other reason than quid pro quote, would 2231 02:06:46,320 --> 02:06:51,000 Speaker 7: give the US information about potential terrorist attacks that were 2232 02:06:51,040 --> 02:06:52,760 Speaker 7: going to happen in the United States. But they're not 2233 02:06:52,880 --> 02:06:54,880 Speaker 7: so inclined to do that anymore. They're under the threat 2234 02:06:54,920 --> 02:07:01,800 Speaker 7: of tariffs, they're being they're being mitigated verbally, and so 2235 02:07:02,080 --> 02:07:06,520 Speaker 7: they're not an intelligence. The whole business of intelligence is 2236 02:07:06,560 --> 02:07:09,800 Speaker 7: based on getting information from other people, other nations, other 2237 02:07:09,880 --> 02:07:13,880 Speaker 7: intelligence agencies around the world, who you've developed quick pro 2238 02:07:14,400 --> 02:07:17,440 Speaker 7: quo relationships with. Not because they love the United States, 2239 02:07:17,840 --> 02:07:21,280 Speaker 7: because as Eisenhower was said, when he's president, no permanent friends, 2240 02:07:21,360 --> 02:07:24,080 Speaker 7: no permanent enemies, just permanent interests. But they had an 2241 02:07:24,120 --> 02:07:27,280 Speaker 7: interest to make sure the United States stays strong because 2242 02:07:27,320 --> 02:07:30,200 Speaker 7: when the United States stays strong, it helped their economy 2243 02:07:30,240 --> 02:07:31,960 Speaker 7: to help their people. But when you get into a 2244 02:07:32,040 --> 02:07:35,040 Speaker 7: situation like this, we have seven relationships that make the 2245 02:07:35,120 --> 02:07:38,440 Speaker 7: citizens of this country more vulnerable, and sometime we see it, 2246 02:07:38,560 --> 02:07:42,280 Speaker 7: sometime we don't. Obviously, racism trumps everything. So if Trump 2247 02:07:42,440 --> 02:07:46,400 Speaker 7: continued to strike that brush fire and turn that into 2248 02:07:46,480 --> 02:07:49,080 Speaker 7: a forest fire, then all the other things that he's 2249 02:07:49,160 --> 02:07:52,280 Speaker 7: burning down won't mean much to the average citizen because 2250 02:07:52,280 --> 02:07:53,120 Speaker 7: they don't understand it. 2251 02:07:54,440 --> 02:07:56,840 Speaker 1: Gotcha fifteen away from the top. As I mentioned, Mike's 2252 02:07:56,880 --> 02:07:58,800 Speaker 1: waiting for us in DC, has a comment or a 2253 02:07:58,880 --> 02:08:01,600 Speaker 1: question for you online to ground Rise and mikey on 2254 02:08:01,720 --> 02:08:03,440 Speaker 1: with doctor Tyrone Powers. 2255 02:08:04,640 --> 02:08:08,040 Speaker 15: Grand Rising to you, mister Nelson, mister Powers and uh, 2256 02:08:08,280 --> 02:08:10,800 Speaker 15: mister Kevin. Uh, mister Powers, I'll follow you a lot. 2257 02:08:11,560 --> 02:08:15,920 Speaker 15: I admire your intelligence everything you do. You're really on point, 2258 02:08:15,960 --> 02:08:19,760 Speaker 15: but you're off on this one. Lloyd Austin, are you serious? 2259 02:08:19,960 --> 02:08:22,280 Speaker 15: Pete had said, compared to Loye Austin will get at 2260 02:08:22,600 --> 02:08:25,960 Speaker 15: a Chinese airplane, balloons come across the United States, the 2261 02:08:26,080 --> 02:08:28,600 Speaker 15: fall of Aghanistan. You went out sick for a whole 2262 02:08:28,600 --> 02:08:31,560 Speaker 15: week and didn't let your president know what's going on Ukraine, 2263 02:08:31,960 --> 02:08:34,800 Speaker 15: compared to Pete of that like that. But Pete has said, 2264 02:08:34,880 --> 02:08:36,920 Speaker 15: did what he's doing right now bringing people back to 2265 02:08:36,960 --> 02:08:39,800 Speaker 15: the United States, recruiting numbers stuff. Everything is up right now. 2266 02:08:40,160 --> 02:08:42,280 Speaker 15: Oh yeah, the United States is doing really well. People 2267 02:08:42,360 --> 02:08:45,000 Speaker 15: respect us around the country right now, around the world 2268 02:08:45,080 --> 02:08:46,960 Speaker 15: right now. Just what the Trump people wanted and they 2269 02:08:47,080 --> 02:08:49,560 Speaker 15: voted for and they get what they like. I call 2270 02:08:49,600 --> 02:08:51,040 Speaker 15: on this radio show, I got a car, I got 2271 02:08:51,160 --> 02:08:53,160 Speaker 15: you ninety nine percent correct. A lot of things out 2272 02:08:53,200 --> 02:08:55,360 Speaker 15: threw at you all. Y'all don't realize what's going on. 2273 02:08:55,640 --> 02:08:56,200 Speaker 7: What's going on. 2274 02:08:56,240 --> 02:08:58,920 Speaker 15: When the city's right now, Trump going into the cities 2275 02:08:58,960 --> 02:08:59,480 Speaker 15: and stuff like that. 2276 02:09:00,160 --> 02:09:00,560 Speaker 3: Not do it. 2277 02:09:00,640 --> 02:09:03,440 Speaker 15: It's not undermining the FOP and anything like this. These 2278 02:09:03,800 --> 02:09:07,360 Speaker 15: federal buildings are being attacked and the staff they're understaff 2279 02:09:07,400 --> 02:09:10,400 Speaker 15: are unmanned with the funding of the police, and they 2280 02:09:10,560 --> 02:09:13,640 Speaker 15: they're asking for help, but because of political pressure from 2281 02:09:13,640 --> 02:09:16,000 Speaker 15: the mayors and the governors and stuff like that, they're 2282 02:09:16,000 --> 02:09:17,640 Speaker 15: afraid and they're embarrassing and they don't want to say 2283 02:09:17,680 --> 02:09:20,440 Speaker 15: they want Trump up. The constituents, the people of the 2284 02:09:20,520 --> 02:09:23,160 Speaker 15: cities of Memphis, of Baltimore, they're begging for these people 2285 02:09:23,320 --> 02:09:25,440 Speaker 15: come in, but the politicians that they're trying to say 2286 02:09:25,480 --> 02:09:28,240 Speaker 15: they don't want Trump. So, you know, I disagree with 2287 02:09:28,360 --> 02:09:30,640 Speaker 15: you that I followed. I think of like ninety five 2288 02:09:30,760 --> 02:09:32,840 Speaker 15: ninety percent of the time you're right, but you're wrong 2289 02:09:32,920 --> 02:09:33,440 Speaker 15: on this one. 2290 02:09:33,680 --> 02:09:36,800 Speaker 1: Have a good day, thanks, Michael, and keep listening though, 2291 02:09:36,800 --> 02:09:39,040 Speaker 1: okayse she made some statements, and listen because I know 2292 02:09:39,200 --> 02:09:41,720 Speaker 1: doctor Powers wants to respond. Go ahead, doctor Powers. 2293 02:09:42,040 --> 02:09:44,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't disagree with Mike that the cities want 2294 02:09:44,480 --> 02:09:47,720 Speaker 7: to nobody. Every city in this particular nation, every community, 2295 02:09:47,840 --> 02:09:51,120 Speaker 7: every neighborhood, and especially in our communities went to dramatically 2296 02:09:51,200 --> 02:09:55,600 Speaker 7: reduce crime. They want a collaboration in the rejection of crime, 2297 02:09:55,720 --> 02:09:58,160 Speaker 7: and now they take over or dictator ship. We could 2298 02:09:58,200 --> 02:10:01,920 Speaker 7: reduce crime permanently this particular nation, if we instituted the 2299 02:10:01,960 --> 02:10:04,480 Speaker 7: government of North Korea because they don't have murders and 2300 02:10:04,600 --> 02:10:09,480 Speaker 7: crime in their country because of a kind of a dictatorship. 2301 02:10:09,600 --> 02:10:13,080 Speaker 7: Same thing in Russia and the Krimlin. So I don't 2302 02:10:13,120 --> 02:10:16,120 Speaker 7: think you're wrong. I think people do want assistance from 2303 02:10:16,160 --> 02:10:19,760 Speaker 7: the federal government. I think police departments love assistance from 2304 02:10:19,800 --> 02:10:22,120 Speaker 7: the federal government. But they don't want to be subjugated. 2305 02:10:22,440 --> 02:10:26,200 Speaker 7: They want a collaboration. They are asking this president and 2306 02:10:26,280 --> 02:10:29,640 Speaker 7: any other president to be quite frank with you, because 2307 02:10:30,000 --> 02:10:33,280 Speaker 7: Clinton increased the number of policing and police staffs and 2308 02:10:33,320 --> 02:10:37,760 Speaker 7: police agencies. They're saying, come in, we do need your resources. Clearly, 2309 02:10:37,880 --> 02:10:39,960 Speaker 7: we don't want local taxes that have to pay for 2310 02:10:40,040 --> 02:10:42,040 Speaker 7: all of this. We don't Nobody wants to be a 2311 02:10:42,200 --> 02:10:45,160 Speaker 7: victim of a murderer or rapist, or a robber or 2312 02:10:45,160 --> 02:10:49,360 Speaker 7: a carjacker. So we do want all we want collaboration 2313 02:10:49,520 --> 02:10:53,400 Speaker 7: between the federal state and local agencies in our particular cities. 2314 02:10:53,440 --> 02:10:56,600 Speaker 7: But we want it done as a collaboration, not as 2315 02:10:56,840 --> 02:10:59,600 Speaker 7: a subjugation. And that's all I'm saying to you. I'm 2316 02:10:59,640 --> 02:11:02,000 Speaker 7: not saying that people haven't asked for the help, that 2317 02:11:02,040 --> 02:11:04,240 Speaker 7: people don't want to help, that people don't want crime reduced. 2318 02:11:04,280 --> 02:11:07,880 Speaker 7: I was in Chicago two weeks ago giving presentations in 2319 02:11:08,040 --> 02:11:11,680 Speaker 7: the community to different organizations who are asking me, how 2320 02:11:11,760 --> 02:11:14,240 Speaker 7: do we accept that will help to dramatically reduce crime 2321 02:11:14,320 --> 02:11:15,920 Speaker 7: Because I don't want to walk out my door and 2322 02:11:16,000 --> 02:11:18,960 Speaker 7: be victim to a rape, or robber or a carjacker. 2323 02:11:19,000 --> 02:11:21,400 Speaker 7: I don't care what race, color, creed, or gender that 2324 02:11:21,480 --> 02:11:24,440 Speaker 7: they are. So we do need more of a presence. 2325 02:11:24,520 --> 02:11:29,000 Speaker 7: But how do we do that without turning our communities 2326 02:11:29,280 --> 02:11:33,240 Speaker 7: into occupied territories? And so that's all I'm saying. I 2327 02:11:33,280 --> 02:11:36,120 Speaker 7: don't think what you are saying is in total disagreement 2328 02:11:36,160 --> 02:11:39,480 Speaker 7: with what I'm saying. I'm saying that what has happened 2329 02:11:39,520 --> 02:11:42,960 Speaker 7: with this administration is more of a subjugation. We're coming 2330 02:11:43,000 --> 02:11:46,120 Speaker 7: in and taking over rather than a collaboration. How can 2331 02:11:46,200 --> 02:11:50,080 Speaker 7: we come in and assist and help. I've said recently, 2332 02:11:50,200 --> 02:11:52,640 Speaker 7: even here in this town that we're living in and Maryland, 2333 02:11:52,640 --> 02:11:57,480 Speaker 7: because they're concerned about Morgan State University's homecoming event this week, 2334 02:11:57,520 --> 02:11:59,800 Speaker 7: I said, this is the apotomy that you need a 2335 02:12:00,080 --> 02:12:04,000 Speaker 7: collaboration so that you can police the perimeter of the event, 2336 02:12:04,120 --> 02:12:06,880 Speaker 7: make sure everybody is safety. The collaboration between the Maryland 2337 02:12:06,920 --> 02:12:10,080 Speaker 7: State Police and the Baltimore City Police or the federal government, 2338 02:12:10,120 --> 02:12:12,920 Speaker 7: whatever intelligence apparatus they have to let you know what 2339 02:12:13,040 --> 02:12:16,080 Speaker 7: the threats are. Everybody wants that cooperation. So I don't 2340 02:12:16,160 --> 02:12:19,240 Speaker 7: disagree with that whatsoever. But what I will say, and 2341 02:12:19,560 --> 02:12:24,240 Speaker 7: probably partially disagreeing, is that you have a Secretary of 2342 02:12:24,400 --> 02:12:28,040 Speaker 7: War or Defense whose present he's talking to people who 2343 02:12:28,080 --> 02:12:32,000 Speaker 7: are experts at what they do in terms of military 2344 02:12:32,080 --> 02:12:36,000 Speaker 7: operations and intelligence operations. That doesn't mean that they can't 2345 02:12:36,040 --> 02:12:39,720 Speaker 7: get advice, insight, and leadership from the Secretary of Defense. 2346 02:12:40,040 --> 02:12:42,120 Speaker 7: It just means that they don't want to be talked 2347 02:12:42,200 --> 02:12:46,120 Speaker 7: down to. They don't want to paternalistic relationship, because it's 2348 02:12:46,240 --> 02:12:49,280 Speaker 7: not light that they have not done their job in 2349 02:12:49,480 --> 02:12:52,560 Speaker 7: terms of the US military in their mind, all around 2350 02:12:52,560 --> 02:12:55,080 Speaker 7: the world, in providing defense for this particular nation. It's 2351 02:12:55,120 --> 02:12:57,440 Speaker 7: not like they haven't done their defense, their job at 2352 02:12:57,480 --> 02:13:01,560 Speaker 7: the Naval Academy, at the at West, at the Army Academy, 2353 02:13:01,920 --> 02:13:04,440 Speaker 7: at the individuals who go day and night or in 2354 02:13:04,560 --> 02:13:10,400 Speaker 7: such under the oceans for six months a year and 2355 02:13:11,280 --> 02:13:13,920 Speaker 7: in the and who are doing the work. They just 2356 02:13:13,960 --> 02:13:17,120 Speaker 7: don't want to be talked down to a paternalistic relationship. 2357 02:13:17,240 --> 02:13:20,120 Speaker 7: So I don't think i'm totally you're totally disagreeing. 2358 02:13:19,640 --> 02:13:20,240 Speaker 22: With me at all. 2359 02:13:20,280 --> 02:13:22,400 Speaker 7: I'm not saying that they don't want collaboration and help. 2360 02:13:22,440 --> 02:13:22,720 Speaker 22: They don't. 2361 02:13:22,760 --> 02:13:26,520 Speaker 7: People want crimes to reduced dramatically, But there's also a 2362 02:13:26,680 --> 02:13:29,640 Speaker 7: method to that that impacts it long term as opposed 2363 02:13:29,680 --> 02:13:32,520 Speaker 7: to short term. And I think that's the difference in 2364 02:13:32,640 --> 02:13:35,440 Speaker 7: our opinion. Here. You do have a Secretary of Defense 2365 02:13:35,480 --> 02:13:39,600 Speaker 7: that clearly don't understand how this is done in a 2366 02:13:39,680 --> 02:13:42,840 Speaker 7: way that's effective and impactful. This doesn't mean that he 2367 02:13:42,960 --> 02:13:46,080 Speaker 7: can't provide some leadership and insight, but the way he's 2368 02:13:46,160 --> 02:13:51,440 Speaker 7: doing it in a paternalistic condesend and relationship does cause 2369 02:13:51,520 --> 02:13:54,040 Speaker 7: some consternation. And then not only that, it caused some 2370 02:13:54,160 --> 02:13:58,480 Speaker 7: consternation around the world. And trust me, the Russians may 2371 02:13:58,680 --> 02:14:01,120 Speaker 7: listen to the United States because you're dealing with two 2372 02:14:01,200 --> 02:14:04,960 Speaker 7: superpowers along with China and some other nations, but they 2373 02:14:04,960 --> 02:14:09,120 Speaker 7: are also always looking for weaknesses in leadership and understanding 2374 02:14:09,400 --> 02:14:14,120 Speaker 7: and in operations. And that's fact, that's not hypothetical. I'm 2375 02:14:14,160 --> 02:14:16,800 Speaker 7: not giving you that information from my emotion. I'm giving 2376 02:14:16,840 --> 02:14:19,920 Speaker 7: you that from my experience working counterintelligence. 2377 02:14:20,040 --> 02:14:23,240 Speaker 1: All right, and also, you know typical Republican talking points. 2378 02:14:23,280 --> 02:14:26,320 Speaker 1: He also wants you to compare Lloyd Austin to Pete. 2379 02:14:26,360 --> 02:14:29,160 Speaker 1: Heseath he thinks of heccess. He's doing a brilliant job, 2380 02:14:29,480 --> 02:14:32,000 Speaker 1: Lloyd Austin, because you have the health issues and didn't 2381 02:14:32,040 --> 02:14:36,000 Speaker 1: inform his supervisors. So help him out on that point 2382 02:14:36,240 --> 02:14:37,480 Speaker 1: for us doctor powers. 2383 02:14:37,760 --> 02:14:40,640 Speaker 7: Well, listen, I'm not going to debate what Lord Austin 2384 02:14:41,040 --> 02:14:43,080 Speaker 7: should have done or couldn't have done his health issues 2385 02:14:43,160 --> 02:14:45,040 Speaker 7: and all like that. You can't be in that particular 2386 02:14:45,120 --> 02:14:49,280 Speaker 7: position without hopefully being at one hundred percent. I'm not 2387 02:14:49,440 --> 02:14:52,640 Speaker 7: saying that, but Pete had said is absolutely, unequivocally not 2388 02:14:52,800 --> 02:14:55,560 Speaker 7: qualified for this particular position. And I don't think anybody 2389 02:14:55,640 --> 02:14:59,400 Speaker 7: around the world, besides those in this nation who like 2390 02:15:00,120 --> 02:15:03,839 Speaker 7: Trump and then like whoever he appoints to a certain position, 2391 02:15:04,240 --> 02:15:09,400 Speaker 7: would argue that. From a very academic standpoint, I think 2392 02:15:09,440 --> 02:15:11,600 Speaker 7: if you look at the history of people who have 2393 02:15:11,880 --> 02:15:16,600 Speaker 7: headed the Defense Department, besides the health issues and the 2394 02:15:16,720 --> 02:15:19,800 Speaker 7: other issues and the administrative issues that the caller was 2395 02:15:19,880 --> 02:15:23,280 Speaker 7: talking about, I don't think if you look at their qualifications, 2396 02:15:23,360 --> 02:15:27,040 Speaker 7: their mindset, their understanding of intelligence, the people they put 2397 02:15:27,080 --> 02:15:29,480 Speaker 7: in place, and the way they run their shop, even 2398 02:15:29,520 --> 02:15:32,360 Speaker 7: though they were strong leaders, would suggest to you that 2399 02:15:32,520 --> 02:15:39,080 Speaker 7: this secretary of defense understands the history of this particular 2400 02:15:39,200 --> 02:15:42,840 Speaker 7: nation defense or intelligence to the point where other people 2401 02:15:42,880 --> 02:15:44,560 Speaker 7: around the world are going to respect them. You might 2402 02:15:44,640 --> 02:15:47,600 Speaker 7: respect them here because of our political mindset and because 2403 02:15:47,640 --> 02:15:49,680 Speaker 7: of politics. But I'm just talking to I'm not even 2404 02:15:49,720 --> 02:15:53,280 Speaker 7: talking about politics. I've always said that the student of 2405 02:15:53,400 --> 02:15:56,000 Speaker 7: the honorbiologic Muhammed and Malcolm x set he said, I'm 2406 02:15:56,040 --> 02:15:58,960 Speaker 7: not a Democrat or Republican and got sense enough to 2407 02:15:59,000 --> 02:16:00,760 Speaker 7: know it. I'm not a jack ass or an elephant. 2408 02:16:00,800 --> 02:16:03,120 Speaker 7: So this is not a political. 2409 02:16:04,320 --> 02:16:04,920 Speaker 22: Point of view. 2410 02:16:05,160 --> 02:16:08,000 Speaker 7: This is a strategic point of view that is based 2411 02:16:08,040 --> 02:16:11,360 Speaker 7: in some realism about how nations work work. No matter 2412 02:16:11,440 --> 02:16:14,760 Speaker 7: what they say out of their mouth, they also know 2413 02:16:14,960 --> 02:16:19,080 Speaker 7: when you have a qualified leader in a position of power. 2414 02:16:19,640 --> 02:16:23,920 Speaker 7: And they also know when you are actually motivating or 2415 02:16:24,480 --> 02:16:28,040 Speaker 7: supporting those who you lead, as opposed to integrating them 2416 02:16:28,560 --> 02:16:32,200 Speaker 7: and weakening yourself for the long term. And they will 2417 02:16:32,200 --> 02:16:34,080 Speaker 7: take advantage of that. They won't come out and say it, 2418 02:16:34,320 --> 02:16:37,280 Speaker 7: but they'll take advantage of that. That's what intelligence is about. 2419 02:16:37,280 --> 02:16:42,519 Speaker 7: It's about finding weaknesses, exploiting them and then not necessarily 2420 02:16:42,600 --> 02:16:45,520 Speaker 7: come out and having a conversation about it, because you know, 2421 02:16:45,760 --> 02:16:48,800 Speaker 7: intelligence even all the way back to George Washington, the 2422 02:16:48,879 --> 02:16:53,199 Speaker 7: first president, when he said that, he said, intelligent fails 2423 02:16:53,280 --> 02:16:55,840 Speaker 7: for the lack of us keeping our mouths shut, of 2424 02:16:55,920 --> 02:16:59,760 Speaker 7: a lack of secrets. Heads of intelligence agencies and strategic 2425 02:17:00,040 --> 02:17:02,560 Speaker 7: fence agencies are supposed to get the work done without 2426 02:17:02,600 --> 02:17:06,480 Speaker 7: giving presentation speeches or calling all these people together. All 2427 02:17:06,520 --> 02:17:09,320 Speaker 7: the way back to George Washington, he said intelligence operations 2428 02:17:09,400 --> 02:17:12,320 Speaker 7: failed for the lack of secrecy, for the people ahead 2429 02:17:12,360 --> 02:17:15,480 Speaker 7: of these organizations talking too much instead of doing what 2430 02:17:15,560 --> 02:17:17,040 Speaker 7: they need to do. And I think you see that 2431 02:17:17,160 --> 02:17:18,519 Speaker 7: in Pete Hassets. 2432 02:17:19,400 --> 02:17:21,720 Speaker 1: And probably the rest of the appointees too, talking about 2433 02:17:21,959 --> 02:17:25,920 Speaker 1: the irony about DEI how many of them are qualified. 2434 02:17:26,000 --> 02:17:29,640 Speaker 1: I mean, nobody really questions that. I'm just saying that 2435 02:17:29,800 --> 02:17:33,320 Speaker 1: that's just an observation. Family eight hundred four five zero 2436 02:17:33,440 --> 02:17:35,280 Speaker 1: seventy eight to seventy six A con found a break 2437 02:17:35,440 --> 02:17:37,640 Speaker 1: had a tweet question for Tweter says, please ask your 2438 02:17:37,640 --> 02:17:41,080 Speaker 1: guest about Stephen Miller's announcement in Memphis, Tennessee, of the 2439 02:17:41,160 --> 02:17:43,960 Speaker 1: launcher of a federal surge in the city attacking the 2440 02:17:44,040 --> 02:17:46,640 Speaker 1: black community. They want to get your thoughts on that. 2441 02:17:47,920 --> 02:17:52,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that, and I've spoke to some people 2442 02:17:52,320 --> 02:17:54,160 Speaker 7: in Chicago. I think the and you know, the mayor 2443 02:17:54,160 --> 02:17:57,840 Speaker 7: of Chicago was under attack for some things. But I 2444 02:17:57,920 --> 02:18:01,720 Speaker 7: think that what's happened here is that there's two things 2445 02:18:01,800 --> 02:18:05,039 Speaker 7: can be true at one time. People want to dramatically 2446 02:18:05,120 --> 02:18:07,720 Speaker 7: reduce crime. There's not a person in this nation, in 2447 02:18:07,920 --> 02:18:10,280 Speaker 7: our neighborhoods or any other neighborhoods, it wants to be 2448 02:18:10,360 --> 02:18:15,200 Speaker 7: the victim of criminal activity. What people don't want is 2449 02:18:15,400 --> 02:18:19,200 Speaker 7: to call in friendly fire on their own position. In 2450 02:18:19,320 --> 02:18:23,160 Speaker 7: other words, history dictates that when this happens, it's not 2451 02:18:23,480 --> 02:18:26,280 Speaker 7: all for the good. So what people want is a 2452 02:18:26,520 --> 02:18:30,600 Speaker 7: voice as to how this is done, how extra resources 2453 02:18:30,600 --> 02:18:34,000 Speaker 7: are brought in collaboration rather than subjugation, as I said before, 2454 02:18:34,480 --> 02:18:37,440 Speaker 7: And so that's what you have. In Tennessee and other places. 2455 02:18:37,520 --> 02:18:40,760 Speaker 7: People are looking at crime, and we always talk about this, 2456 02:18:41,120 --> 02:18:44,520 Speaker 7: crime is being reduced, cities are doing good work, and 2457 02:18:44,879 --> 02:18:48,600 Speaker 7: Baltimore and other cities crime is being reduced. But say 2458 02:18:48,760 --> 02:18:51,320 Speaker 7: nick crime is being reduced means nothing to the person 2459 02:18:51,360 --> 02:18:54,280 Speaker 7: who was a victim of crime last night. So people 2460 02:18:54,480 --> 02:18:59,640 Speaker 7: want the benefit of extra resources, extra presence, but they 2461 02:18:59,680 --> 02:19:02,920 Speaker 7: don't want it done in a manner that disadministration is 2462 02:19:03,000 --> 02:19:06,199 Speaker 7: doing it. This administration is saying we know what's best 2463 02:19:06,240 --> 02:19:10,480 Speaker 7: for you with the paternalists that can condescending, and we're 2464 02:19:10,560 --> 02:19:13,240 Speaker 7: taking over. We're not working with you. Because remember the 2465 02:19:13,280 --> 02:19:16,440 Speaker 7: whole philipsity of policing, if you go back to Sir 2466 02:19:16,560 --> 02:19:19,040 Speaker 7: Robert Pills, and there's nine principles of policing. As the 2467 02:19:19,080 --> 02:19:21,279 Speaker 7: people are the police, and the police are the people 2468 02:19:21,640 --> 02:19:25,720 Speaker 7: that everyone it works for everyone to have more peaceful communities. 2469 02:19:26,000 --> 02:19:30,680 Speaker 7: And what you have here is an imposed situation where 2470 02:19:31,560 --> 02:19:34,000 Speaker 7: you are afraid of both the cops and the robbers. 2471 02:19:34,240 --> 02:19:36,400 Speaker 7: And when you're afraid of both the cops and the robbers, 2472 02:19:36,480 --> 02:19:38,280 Speaker 7: you get these kind of chaos that's happening and the 2473 02:19:38,360 --> 02:19:41,560 Speaker 7: cities across the nation when the President is saying coming 2474 02:19:41,600 --> 02:19:44,959 Speaker 7: in and saying, I'm going to get rid of those 2475 02:19:45,120 --> 02:19:47,440 Speaker 7: bad guys and bring in some other bad guys, and 2476 02:19:47,600 --> 02:19:49,680 Speaker 7: history dictates that in the history of the United States, 2477 02:19:49,760 --> 02:19:51,000 Speaker 7: and black communities. 2478 02:19:50,560 --> 02:19:52,440 Speaker 1: Are right well hold, I thought, right there, We're got 2479 02:19:52,440 --> 02:19:54,320 Speaker 1: to step aside for a few moments, so our station's 2480 02:19:54,320 --> 02:19:56,360 Speaker 1: gonna identify themselves down the line.

As much as the time 2517 02:21:32,640 --> 02:21:34,520 Speaker 7: I have said, I was in a trial last week 2518 02:21:34,640 --> 02:21:36,880 Speaker 7: for use of force cases, so I'm still doing my 2519 02:21:36,959 --> 02:21:39,320 Speaker 7: expertise there. But when I was in Chicago, I actually 2520 02:21:39,360 --> 02:21:45,200 Speaker 7: did a presentation called by Way of Deception, which dealt 2521 02:21:45,200 --> 02:21:48,480 Speaker 7: with cointelpro had a great community response to the couple 2522 02:21:48,520 --> 02:21:50,800 Speaker 7: of television radio shows, and I also met with some 2523 02:21:50,879 --> 02:21:55,440 Speaker 7: people privately about how this impacts and I think that 2524 02:21:55,720 --> 02:21:58,760 Speaker 7: with the young people, certainly, because again we don't we 2525 02:21:58,920 --> 02:22:00,880 Speaker 7: talk about them a lot. We don't talk to them 2526 02:22:00,920 --> 02:22:02,560 Speaker 7: a lot. We preached to them a lot, we don't 2527 02:22:02,600 --> 02:22:05,040 Speaker 7: teach to them a lot. I think they're receiving it 2528 02:22:05,440 --> 02:22:07,320 Speaker 7: very well as we talked. If you look back to 2529 02:22:08,080 --> 02:22:10,480 Speaker 7: the movements that we had, the Black Power movement, the 2530 02:22:10,560 --> 02:22:13,440 Speaker 7: Civil rights movement, and so on and so forth, when 2531 02:22:13,440 --> 02:22:17,480 Speaker 7: we were actually trying to change our reality, and then 2532 02:22:18,240 --> 02:22:21,560 Speaker 7: we switched to drugs and alcohol and we tried to 2533 02:22:21,840 --> 02:22:24,760 Speaker 7: escape our reality. And those who were tired of us 2534 02:22:24,879 --> 02:22:27,720 Speaker 7: trying to fight to change our reality, the same people 2535 02:22:28,120 --> 02:22:31,880 Speaker 7: who did the assassinations and the breakup of organizations, whether 2536 02:22:31,959 --> 02:22:35,400 Speaker 7: it was Fred Hampton or Malcolm X or Martin Luther 2537 02:22:35,560 --> 02:22:38,960 Speaker 7: King or any of those organizations or here if you needon, 2538 02:22:39,040 --> 02:22:42,360 Speaker 7: decided that they if we can get them more on 2539 02:22:42,480 --> 02:22:45,200 Speaker 7: drugs and alcohol, that they can escape, We can get 2540 02:22:45,240 --> 02:22:47,880 Speaker 7: them escape to their reality whether they had changed reality, 2541 02:22:48,200 --> 02:22:52,600 Speaker 7: and we can take them from no matter how hard 2542 02:22:52,680 --> 02:22:54,880 Speaker 7: you tried, you can't stop me now to I'm on 2543 02:22:55,120 --> 02:22:58,600 Speaker 7: cloud nine. I'm doing fine. I'm on cloud nine. If 2544 02:22:58,640 --> 02:23:02,400 Speaker 7: I can take them from from fighting to drugs to 2545 02:23:03,040 --> 02:23:06,440 Speaker 7: medicating to mitigating their existence. Then I get exactly what 2546 02:23:06,560 --> 02:23:08,280 Speaker 7: I get today. And that's why I think it's so 2547 02:23:08,440 --> 02:23:11,160 Speaker 7: important because I don't even have to say this in 2548 02:23:11,600 --> 02:23:14,200 Speaker 7: my own words. When I do these presentations, I bring 2549 02:23:14,360 --> 02:23:17,000 Speaker 7: up all the co intel pro documents to show that 2550 02:23:17,120 --> 02:23:21,920 Speaker 7: they wanted to replace fight with alcohol, drugs, sex, pharmosecurity 2551 02:23:22,440 --> 02:23:26,680 Speaker 7: and competition amongst each other. That they found a psychological 2552 02:23:26,879 --> 02:23:30,840 Speaker 7: button to push in our particular community. And that's why 2553 02:23:31,320 --> 02:23:36,119 Speaker 7: all that fighting to change our community turned into again 2554 02:23:36,400 --> 02:23:39,440 Speaker 7: something to medicate us and mitigate our community, which has 2555 02:23:39,480 --> 02:23:41,280 Speaker 7: guide us here today. And then when you talk about 2556 02:23:41,320 --> 02:23:44,600 Speaker 7: because you can't undo what you don't understand again is 2557 02:23:44,640 --> 02:23:50,160 Speaker 7: they taught us in the FBI Academy superficial understanding can 2558 02:23:50,480 --> 02:23:54,959 Speaker 7: only lead to superficial solutions, and the goal is solutions. 2559 02:23:55,120 --> 02:23:58,920 Speaker 7: And we talk about this as I do these presentations 2560 02:23:59,080 --> 02:24:02,160 Speaker 7: or talk in individuals in the prison. You know, there's 2561 02:24:02,240 --> 02:24:05,280 Speaker 7: three aspects of all of us. There's intellect, they're passion 2562 02:24:05,400 --> 02:24:08,600 Speaker 7: and their reason. We are very intelligent people. I don't 2563 02:24:08,680 --> 02:24:11,320 Speaker 7: I don't. I don't be little our intelligence with anyone 2564 02:24:11,360 --> 02:24:13,320 Speaker 7: in the world, and we're passionate about it. And when 2565 02:24:13,360 --> 02:24:17,120 Speaker 7: we are intelligent and passionate, then we really speak because 2566 02:24:17,120 --> 02:24:19,600 Speaker 7: we're so proud of our knowledge. But the last piece 2567 02:24:19,680 --> 02:24:22,240 Speaker 7: that we have to get in place is reason. Everything 2568 02:24:22,320 --> 02:24:24,760 Speaker 7: that we do have to be done with an objective. 2569 02:24:24,800 --> 02:24:26,960 Speaker 7: Where is this going to take us? So if me 2570 02:24:27,080 --> 02:24:29,960 Speaker 7: and Carl is in a conversation and we decide to 2571 02:24:30,040 --> 02:24:32,760 Speaker 7: debate each other and I criticize each other, at the 2572 02:24:32,879 --> 02:24:34,720 Speaker 7: end of the day, what are we trying to achieve? 2573 02:24:34,959 --> 02:24:38,520 Speaker 7: And what the organizations have said doing cointail pro and 2574 02:24:38,680 --> 02:24:41,640 Speaker 7: since co intel pro as it continues, is that black 2575 02:24:41,680 --> 02:24:44,040 Speaker 7: people are good at intellect. They're smart. They've got a 2576 02:24:44,080 --> 02:24:46,640 Speaker 7: lot of smart people, ain't no doubt about that, and 2577 02:24:46,680 --> 02:24:50,360 Speaker 7: they're passionate about that. But reason, they don't get to 2578 02:24:50,560 --> 02:24:53,800 Speaker 7: an objective, you know, the the the behavior scigniewit and 2579 02:24:53,879 --> 02:24:56,720 Speaker 7: I said this, I testified before Congress at Maxine Waters 2580 02:24:56,760 --> 02:25:01,840 Speaker 7: to this. They constantly said that black people are intellect emotional, 2581 02:25:02,440 --> 02:25:04,640 Speaker 7: but they don't use the scientific method. They don't have 2582 02:25:04,720 --> 02:25:07,440 Speaker 7: a hypothesis and get to a final conclusion. In other words, 2583 02:25:07,520 --> 02:25:12,120 Speaker 7: you had you had the incident with Trayvon, where you 2584 02:25:12,320 --> 02:25:15,560 Speaker 7: stand the ground laws after all the protests, the law 2585 02:25:15,600 --> 02:25:19,640 Speaker 7: is still in place. So the noise without the solution 2586 02:25:19,920 --> 02:25:22,760 Speaker 7: and without the reason. And that's what Cointelpro was designed 2587 02:25:22,760 --> 02:25:25,640 Speaker 7: to do. You can your listeners call can go back 2588 02:25:25,680 --> 02:25:28,480 Speaker 7: and listen to it itself, to pick our emotions, to 2589 02:25:28,640 --> 02:25:32,920 Speaker 7: give us drugs, to have us escape from our reality 2590 02:25:33,040 --> 02:25:36,280 Speaker 7: through drugs, alcohol and sex promisecurity rather than change our 2591 02:25:36,360 --> 02:25:39,560 Speaker 7: reality to the movements through what Thurgood Marshall did and 2592 02:25:39,680 --> 02:25:44,480 Speaker 7: what the Attorney Houston did, and what what Fanny new 2593 02:25:44,560 --> 02:25:47,680 Speaker 7: Hammer and Mary McLeod Bethune and book it to what 2594 02:25:47,879 --> 02:25:51,520 Speaker 7: besides what they were doing. They wanted to change reality. 2595 02:25:51,560 --> 02:25:53,280 Speaker 7: They didn't want to get drunk, they didn't want to 2596 02:25:53,360 --> 02:25:55,240 Speaker 7: mitigate it. They didn't want to get high. They didn't 2597 02:25:55,240 --> 02:25:57,960 Speaker 7: want to open up places where we could buy marijuana 2598 02:25:58,000 --> 02:26:00,879 Speaker 7: and smoke marijuana so we could ease our our stress. 2599 02:26:01,160 --> 02:26:03,720 Speaker 7: They wanted to change our existence for the seizure and 2600 02:26:03,840 --> 02:26:07,959 Speaker 7: so it's important cointelpro. Geronimo Pratt was so extremely right. 2601 02:26:08,040 --> 02:26:11,120 Speaker 7: He said, if it's not being taught, then generation at 2602 02:26:11,160 --> 02:26:13,959 Speaker 7: the generation, we will be battling against each other. Because 2603 02:26:14,000 --> 02:26:16,560 Speaker 7: one of the goals of cointail Pro was to have 2604 02:26:16,760 --> 02:26:19,560 Speaker 7: me and you arguing, even if we had different methods, 2605 02:26:19,600 --> 02:26:21,920 Speaker 7: to say that organization is not doing something. Were doing 2606 02:26:21,959 --> 02:26:24,480 Speaker 7: this and then just do what you do. Let them 2607 02:26:24,560 --> 02:26:27,640 Speaker 7: do what they do. The Student of the honorworldized Muhamad 2608 02:26:27,640 --> 02:26:31,039 Speaker 7: and Malcolm xCE. Never confuse the methods with the objectives. 2609 02:26:31,480 --> 02:26:34,640 Speaker 7: If the methods are different, that's okay. But if the 2610 02:26:34,760 --> 02:26:38,200 Speaker 7: objective is the same, I'll meet you at the finish line. 2611 02:26:38,400 --> 02:26:40,800 Speaker 7: And what Cointail pro was designed to do is to 2612 02:26:40,920 --> 02:26:44,680 Speaker 7: have us arguing about methods, have us calling each other names, 2613 02:26:45,040 --> 02:26:48,120 Speaker 7: having us saying my organization is better than your organization, 2614 02:26:48,520 --> 02:26:50,879 Speaker 7: my plan is better than your plan, and you are 2615 02:26:51,000 --> 02:26:53,640 Speaker 7: so busy fighting each other. And that was the intent 2616 02:26:53,800 --> 02:26:56,680 Speaker 7: of it, that we could not focus and be disciplined 2617 02:26:56,800 --> 02:26:58,760 Speaker 7: enough to do what we needed to do for our 2618 02:26:58,840 --> 02:27:01,160 Speaker 7: children and children's children. And when I walked through that 2619 02:27:01,320 --> 02:27:03,800 Speaker 7: with the young people, when I did that in Chicago, 2620 02:27:03,959 --> 02:27:06,320 Speaker 7: people had a lot of questions. One of the questions 2621 02:27:06,520 --> 02:27:09,400 Speaker 7: was very briefly called. One of the people in the 2622 02:27:09,480 --> 02:27:11,840 Speaker 7: audience said, Doc, He said, you're focusing on getting the 2623 02:27:11,920 --> 02:27:14,320 Speaker 7: message to the young people, but what about getting the 2624 02:27:14,360 --> 02:27:16,120 Speaker 7: message to the adults? And I said, what we are? 2625 02:27:16,240 --> 02:27:18,480 Speaker 7: I said, because a friend I know who works in 2626 02:27:18,560 --> 02:27:22,240 Speaker 7: juvenile justice in this particular state, said the people I'm 2627 02:27:22,280 --> 02:27:25,920 Speaker 7: addressing now in juvenile justice. Are the children of the 2628 02:27:26,040 --> 02:27:29,000 Speaker 7: juveniles I had in here ten years ago. So had 2629 02:27:29,080 --> 02:27:32,200 Speaker 7: I gotten them straight who are parents now? Then I 2630 02:27:32,200 --> 02:27:34,879 Speaker 7: wouldn't be dealing with their children and their children's children. 2631 02:27:34,959 --> 02:27:38,640 Speaker 7: It's a method to this particular thing. You know, the 2632 02:27:38,720 --> 02:27:41,640 Speaker 7: Devil's Brothers when they were talking about with Eisen Howard 2633 02:27:41,680 --> 02:27:44,280 Speaker 7: and then with Kennedy and it with Johnson implementing coin 2634 02:27:44,320 --> 02:27:47,160 Speaker 7: Telpro under Jago Hoover and allowed him to go wild 2635 02:27:47,240 --> 02:27:50,240 Speaker 7: with it, said that it is an ancient game, but 2636 02:27:50,720 --> 02:27:53,680 Speaker 7: we don't need to change it unless they become aware 2637 02:27:53,840 --> 02:27:57,360 Speaker 7: of the tectics, tactics and the techniques. That's the exact wording. 2638 02:27:57,680 --> 02:28:00,360 Speaker 7: It's an ancient game, this divide and conquered game. Just 2639 02:28:00,520 --> 02:28:03,520 Speaker 7: giving them drugs and alcohol like we did the Native 2640 02:28:03,560 --> 02:28:07,880 Speaker 7: Americans to escape their reality. Then giving them energy and 2641 02:28:08,000 --> 02:28:11,800 Speaker 7: focus and sobriety to fight and change their reality. But 2642 02:28:12,040 --> 02:28:14,040 Speaker 7: to give them drugs to escape their reality. It's an 2643 02:28:14,040 --> 02:28:17,320 Speaker 7: ancient game. Their exact language is, this is an ancient game, 2644 02:28:17,440 --> 02:28:21,560 Speaker 7: and all we have to do is adjust the tactics 2645 02:28:21,600 --> 02:28:23,680 Speaker 7: and the techniques. And that's what Cointaeil Pro was. 2646 02:28:24,000 --> 02:28:24,640 Speaker 9: That's what it is. 2647 02:28:24,959 --> 02:28:27,120 Speaker 7: And if we teach that I'm trying to tell you, 2648 02:28:27,480 --> 02:28:29,040 Speaker 7: and I mean this from the bottom of my heart. 2649 02:28:29,080 --> 02:28:31,600 Speaker 7: With the students I'm teaching now on Wednesday night this week, 2650 02:28:31,959 --> 02:28:35,200 Speaker 7: they get it, They walk through it. They are mesmerized 2651 02:28:35,480 --> 02:28:38,200 Speaker 7: by the information we give because they know how the 2652 02:28:38,320 --> 02:28:41,240 Speaker 7: tricks and traps and the trappers have worked in their life. 2653 02:28:41,520 --> 02:28:44,720 Speaker 7: They've encountered bad educators who gave them grades just to 2654 02:28:44,760 --> 02:28:47,000 Speaker 7: get by, and then they found out once they graduated 2655 02:28:47,080 --> 02:28:50,040 Speaker 7: that they weren't qualify for anything. So they realized that 2656 02:28:50,160 --> 02:28:54,680 Speaker 7: miseducation was a part of cointail pro, that misrepresentation, that 2657 02:28:54,840 --> 02:28:57,840 Speaker 7: having them fight each other like Tupac and Biggie was 2658 02:28:57,879 --> 02:29:01,040 Speaker 7: a part of the mis education and cointelpro Instead of 2659 02:29:01,120 --> 02:29:05,600 Speaker 7: having two talented people use their talent for the betterment 2660 02:29:05,680 --> 02:29:08,160 Speaker 7: of the race, put them against each other and use 2661 02:29:08,200 --> 02:29:10,000 Speaker 7: it for them to destroy each other, which is the 2662 02:29:10,040 --> 02:29:14,720 Speaker 7: gold of cointail pro. So I am advocating that at 2663 02:29:14,760 --> 02:29:20,039 Speaker 7: every HBCU because HBCU still do not have a cointail 2664 02:29:20,080 --> 02:29:23,000 Speaker 7: pro course. It's like a Jewish university not having a 2665 02:29:23,080 --> 02:29:25,480 Speaker 7: Holocaust course that is required. They don't give it down. 2666 02:29:25,480 --> 02:29:28,920 Speaker 7: Whether you're majoring in engineering, medicine, or law, you will 2667 02:29:29,040 --> 02:29:31,680 Speaker 7: take this course because you need to know how this happened. 2668 02:29:31,720 --> 02:29:35,959 Speaker 7: You need to know that during the Holocausts in Germany, 2669 02:29:36,160 --> 02:29:39,920 Speaker 7: the medication and the equipment and the gas chambers were 2670 02:29:39,959 --> 02:29:45,359 Speaker 7: supplied by American businesses, with American businessmen supplying the technique, 2671 02:29:45,520 --> 02:29:49,199 Speaker 7: tactic and the gas itself so that Hitler could carry 2672 02:29:49,200 --> 02:29:51,160 Speaker 7: out when he was carried out. So you are not 2673 02:29:51,320 --> 02:29:53,080 Speaker 7: food by people who come to you and say that 2674 02:29:53,240 --> 02:29:55,520 Speaker 7: was a horrible incident. But I turned around to say 2675 02:29:55,560 --> 02:29:57,800 Speaker 7: to them, but you gave. He couldn't have done it 2676 02:29:57,879 --> 02:30:00,920 Speaker 7: without you. So that's what cointail and teaching them that 2677 02:30:01,040 --> 02:30:04,520 Speaker 7: bad so we can evolve, advise our young people how 2678 02:30:04,600 --> 02:30:07,320 Speaker 7: to avoid the tricks in the traps, and even as adults, 2679 02:30:07,800 --> 02:30:10,160 Speaker 7: so we don't get caught up in silliness. I've always 2680 02:30:10,200 --> 02:30:12,960 Speaker 7: said I've been criticized and critiqued across this nation, and 2681 02:30:13,080 --> 02:30:15,960 Speaker 7: I've never responded to it because if I spent energy 2682 02:30:16,040 --> 02:30:20,400 Speaker 7: doing that, then I can't spend energy working to better 2683 02:30:20,480 --> 02:30:23,480 Speaker 7: our community. I've got to have thick skin so that 2684 02:30:23,600 --> 02:30:25,680 Speaker 7: if you say something about me. I think one of 2685 02:30:25,800 --> 02:30:29,520 Speaker 7: our leaders said, is not what you're called? Is what 2686 02:30:29,680 --> 02:30:32,240 Speaker 7: your answer to? If I don't answer to that, then 2687 02:30:32,280 --> 02:30:34,840 Speaker 7: I can focus on the mission. If I answer to that, 2688 02:30:35,000 --> 02:30:36,960 Speaker 7: and I got to stay stop and deal with you, 2689 02:30:37,280 --> 02:30:39,080 Speaker 7: and I don't have time to do that. This life 2690 02:30:39,160 --> 02:30:40,039 Speaker 7: is tonight. 2691 02:30:40,200 --> 02:30:41,400 Speaker 5: It's not infinite. 2692 02:30:42,560 --> 02:30:45,280 Speaker 1: Safe to say that cointel is still working today. So 2693 02:30:45,640 --> 02:30:47,800 Speaker 1: all those folks who are attacking black people, whether they 2694 02:30:47,840 --> 02:30:51,359 Speaker 1: be groups or individuals, can we mark them suspect. 2695 02:30:52,240 --> 02:30:56,320 Speaker 7: Well, listen, cointel pro is extremely effective. I think I 2696 02:30:56,440 --> 02:30:58,400 Speaker 7: mentioned this the last time I was on your program. 2697 02:30:58,520 --> 02:31:01,240 Speaker 7: A supervisor called me in because I was talking about 2698 02:31:01,560 --> 02:31:05,959 Speaker 7: them still infiltrating mosque and infiltrating churches, and I said 2699 02:31:06,440 --> 02:31:09,120 Speaker 7: coin Telpoe was supposed to end during the nineteen seventies. 2700 02:31:09,200 --> 02:31:14,119 Speaker 7: Congress said it had to end because it wasn't oppressive operation. 2701 02:31:14,680 --> 02:31:17,800 Speaker 7: And my supervisor at the FBI, I write this in 2702 02:31:17,879 --> 02:31:20,600 Speaker 7: my books, said to me. I testified to this before Congress. 2703 02:31:20,600 --> 02:31:23,600 Speaker 7: He said, Doc, you keep talking about morality and ethics 2704 02:31:23,680 --> 02:31:26,400 Speaker 7: and what's right and wrong. We do what's effective, not 2705 02:31:26,560 --> 02:31:29,200 Speaker 7: what's right and wrong. We'll let the preachers and the 2706 02:31:29,280 --> 02:31:33,800 Speaker 7: philosophers and the theorists argue moralogy. We're doing what's effective 2707 02:31:34,120 --> 02:31:37,200 Speaker 7: once and I'm not saying we should do that, should 2708 02:31:37,680 --> 02:31:40,440 Speaker 7: adopt the same mindset. But we at least have to 2709 02:31:40,560 --> 02:31:43,800 Speaker 7: understand that that is the ideal of the people who 2710 02:31:43,840 --> 02:31:48,000 Speaker 7: are using techniques and tactics against us. Now I don't 2711 02:31:48,120 --> 02:31:50,880 Speaker 7: really have time. The reality of the matter is that 2712 02:31:51,040 --> 02:31:54,720 Speaker 7: everyone should demonstrate dair loyalty. So when people used to 2713 02:31:54,800 --> 02:31:56,640 Speaker 7: question me, said, we're using the FBI. You came out 2714 02:31:56,680 --> 02:31:58,560 Speaker 7: of the FBI. Why should we trust you, I said, 2715 02:31:58,600 --> 02:32:01,720 Speaker 7: don't trust me. Thank god you said that, because I 2716 02:32:01,800 --> 02:32:03,960 Speaker 7: want to earn it. And if I don't earn it, 2717 02:32:04,040 --> 02:32:06,920 Speaker 7: then you shouldn't. If you disagree with something I say, 2718 02:32:07,000 --> 02:32:09,480 Speaker 7: like the call that you had on earlier, I'm upset 2719 02:32:09,520 --> 02:32:12,440 Speaker 7: with him. Whatsoever. If you disagree with what I'm saying, 2720 02:32:12,520 --> 02:32:15,440 Speaker 7: go do your own research, because maybe if you disagree 2721 02:32:15,440 --> 02:32:18,199 Speaker 7: with me, it will motivate you to try to prove 2722 02:32:18,280 --> 02:32:21,360 Speaker 7: me wrong. And in motivating to prove me wrong, you 2723 02:32:21,440 --> 02:32:23,680 Speaker 7: won't find something on your own that will allow you 2724 02:32:23,800 --> 02:32:26,160 Speaker 7: to even be more a part of the solution. I'm 2725 02:32:26,200 --> 02:32:29,360 Speaker 7: not asking you. I tell my students every week. Education 2726 02:32:29,520 --> 02:32:31,520 Speaker 7: is not supposed to tell you what to think, and 2727 02:32:31,560 --> 02:32:34,240 Speaker 7: it's supposed to tell you to think because I know 2728 02:32:34,440 --> 02:32:37,039 Speaker 7: for a fact, with the brilliants of black people, if 2729 02:32:37,080 --> 02:32:40,080 Speaker 7: we truly begin to think, we truly begin to decipher, 2730 02:32:40,160 --> 02:32:43,800 Speaker 7: we truly begin to research and understand these operations that 2731 02:32:43,879 --> 02:32:48,000 Speaker 7: be placed against us. Our progress will not only be great, 2732 02:32:48,080 --> 02:32:51,720 Speaker 7: but it will be immediate. Right now, people are pushing 2733 02:32:51,800 --> 02:32:55,600 Speaker 7: our buttons. They're using the best of us against us. 2734 02:32:56,000 --> 02:32:58,879 Speaker 7: They have us arguing with each other, they have us 2735 02:32:59,120 --> 02:33:01,640 Speaker 7: arguing whether we are an elephant or a jackass in 2736 02:33:01,720 --> 02:33:04,760 Speaker 7: this particular situation. And as my friend just told me 2737 02:33:04,879 --> 02:33:07,400 Speaker 7: from the intelligence a YO in Washington, DC. He said, 2738 02:33:07,480 --> 02:33:10,279 Speaker 7: last week, they were all having lunch and dinner together 2739 02:33:10,520 --> 02:33:12,880 Speaker 7: and joking about the situation, and they came out and 2740 02:33:12,920 --> 02:33:15,680 Speaker 7: gave press conferences and looked like they were enemies. If 2741 02:33:15,720 --> 02:33:19,920 Speaker 7: we understand the methods, the tactics, then we can understand 2742 02:33:20,040 --> 02:33:22,600 Speaker 7: even though they're using an ancient game, which is their word, 2743 02:33:23,120 --> 02:33:25,200 Speaker 7: just changing the tactics and the tactics, and we can 2744 02:33:25,320 --> 02:33:28,800 Speaker 7: change that particular situation. And it starts with educating our 2745 02:33:28,879 --> 02:33:31,000 Speaker 7: young people. I said this the last time I was 2746 02:33:31,080 --> 02:33:34,120 Speaker 7: on call. Whether it's formal education or in formal education, 2747 02:33:34,879 --> 02:33:41,800 Speaker 7: education is the greater, greatest crime reduction apparatus. Education is 2748 02:33:41,840 --> 02:33:45,520 Speaker 7: the greater apparatus to reduce drug and alcohol use in 2749 02:33:45,600 --> 02:33:50,640 Speaker 7: our community. Education is the greatest entity that can reduce 2750 02:33:50,800 --> 02:33:54,360 Speaker 7: the lack, that can help us stop being terrorized. And 2751 02:33:54,560 --> 02:33:56,280 Speaker 7: every one of our leaders have said it. We just 2752 02:33:56,440 --> 02:33:58,320 Speaker 7: ignore them because we got to come up with our 2753 02:33:58,360 --> 02:34:01,280 Speaker 7: own solution. Marcus Garby said book that you washed, and 2754 02:34:01,320 --> 02:34:03,680 Speaker 7: said it w e be divorced. Even when they oppose 2755 02:34:03,720 --> 02:34:06,760 Speaker 7: each other, they all agree with this. Doctor Cartagey Woodson, 2756 02:34:07,320 --> 02:34:09,680 Speaker 7: the author of The Miseducation of the Negro Noble, We 2757 02:34:09,800 --> 02:34:12,480 Speaker 7: drew our lead. Bob Marley said it, and damn near 2758 02:34:12,520 --> 02:34:15,600 Speaker 7: every song he sung he talked about they don't want 2759 02:34:15,680 --> 02:34:17,800 Speaker 7: us to unite. All they want us to do is 2760 02:34:17,840 --> 02:34:20,680 Speaker 7: to keep on fussing and fighting. He said this in 2761 02:34:20,720 --> 02:34:23,480 Speaker 7: every song that he sing. So the solution have always 2762 02:34:23,560 --> 02:34:25,920 Speaker 7: been education, but we've been so caught up and we've 2763 02:34:25,920 --> 02:34:28,279 Speaker 7: allowed others to push our buttons, so that when somebody 2764 02:34:28,400 --> 02:34:31,200 Speaker 7: called doctor powers the name, I'm so busy trying to 2765 02:34:31,320 --> 02:34:33,960 Speaker 7: counter their argument that I can't do what I was 2766 02:34:34,080 --> 02:34:36,480 Speaker 7: born to do and what God the mission that God 2767 02:34:36,520 --> 02:34:38,640 Speaker 7: gave me. So I don't even engage in that anymore 2768 02:34:38,680 --> 02:34:41,120 Speaker 7: because I understand what Colin Telpro was intended to do, 2769 02:34:41,520 --> 02:34:44,200 Speaker 7: and I refuse to allow it to help me to 2770 02:34:44,320 --> 02:34:46,800 Speaker 7: take any of my energy when I'm trying to help 2771 02:34:46,879 --> 02:34:49,880 Speaker 7: young people change their existence and their reality and not 2772 02:34:50,120 --> 02:34:53,000 Speaker 7: escape from their existence in reality with drugs, alcohol, sex, 2773 02:34:53,080 --> 02:34:54,520 Speaker 7: prom of security and crime. 2774 02:34:55,760 --> 02:34:57,480 Speaker 1: And thank you for sharing that a fifteen at the 2775 02:34:57,560 --> 02:35:00,640 Speaker 1: top of our family to stay away from because they 2776 02:35:00,800 --> 02:35:02,200 Speaker 1: try to get you into arguing. This is one of 2777 02:35:02,200 --> 02:35:05,039 Speaker 1: the things that Dr Welson tell us about counter racist 2778 02:35:05,120 --> 02:35:07,960 Speaker 1: policies that she shared with us. A black person trying 2779 02:35:08,000 --> 02:35:10,200 Speaker 1: to argue, either just shake your head and just move on, 2780 02:35:10,400 --> 02:35:12,920 Speaker 1: just keep it moving. Nearly Fuller said, just keep it 2781 02:35:13,040 --> 02:35:16,120 Speaker 1: moving because those people who we see especially they're attacking 2782 02:35:16,200 --> 02:35:18,840 Speaker 1: black people, especially today, they're suspect. I'm not going to 2783 02:35:18,879 --> 02:35:22,280 Speaker 1: say they're agents, but they're suspect either that the low information. 2784 02:35:23,160 --> 02:35:24,680 Speaker 1: We got a bunch of folks that want to talk 2785 02:35:24,680 --> 02:35:26,120 Speaker 1: to you. And also, let me just say this, by 2786 02:35:26,160 --> 02:35:27,960 Speaker 1: the way, I forgot to mention his book is titled 2787 02:35:28,240 --> 02:35:30,760 Speaker 1: Ice to My Soul, The Rise or Decline of a 2788 02:35:30,879 --> 02:35:34,040 Speaker 1: Black FBI Agent. That's doctor Tyrone Poalace book Eyes to 2789 02:35:34,120 --> 02:35:35,640 Speaker 1: My Soul. Because he's not here to sell a book, 2790 02:35:35,640 --> 02:35:37,480 Speaker 1: but I want to mention you want to know more 2791 02:35:37,480 --> 02:35:39,640 Speaker 1: about doctor powers, pick up a copy of his book, 2792 02:35:39,680 --> 02:35:41,600 Speaker 1: Eyes to My Soul, The Rise or Decline of a 2793 02:35:41,640 --> 02:35:43,960 Speaker 1: Black FBI Agent. Anyway, we've got to step aside for 2794 02:35:44,000 --> 02:35:45,440 Speaker 1: a few moments. We'll come back.

He can analyze 2805 02:36:08,120 --> 02:36:10,160 Speaker 1: it for you. We want to do that. They'll reach 2806 02:36:10,200 --> 02:36:12,000 Speaker 1: out to us at eight hundred and four five zero 2807 02:36:12,200 --> 02:36:14,760 Speaker 1: seventy eight seventy six. I mentioned before the breakout, a 2808 02:36:14,760 --> 02:36:16,760 Speaker 1: bunch of folks want got questions for doctor Powers. So 2809 02:36:16,879 --> 02:36:19,840 Speaker 1: let's go with Craig Online. Two. He's calling from DC Craig. 2810 02:36:19,920 --> 02:36:21,920 Speaker 1: Your thoughts, your question for doctor Powers. 2811 02:36:23,320 --> 02:36:28,160 Speaker 23: Yeah, Grand Rising, I wanted to follow up on something 2812 02:36:28,240 --> 02:36:33,520 Speaker 23: that the doctor said earlier about education being number one 2813 02:36:35,120 --> 02:36:38,720 Speaker 23: in terms of reducing crime. I would put jobs up 2814 02:36:38,760 --> 02:36:41,920 Speaker 23: there as well, And I wanted to know if in 2815 02:36:42,120 --> 02:36:46,080 Speaker 23: those communications from the States and the cities when they're 2816 02:36:46,160 --> 02:36:51,800 Speaker 23: trying to I think he said create relationships. This job 2817 02:36:51,920 --> 02:36:55,280 Speaker 23: growth a part of their discussion as a measure to 2818 02:36:55,440 --> 02:37:01,119 Speaker 23: prevent crime, and this is prevented to technique as opposed 2819 02:37:01,160 --> 02:37:05,760 Speaker 23: to just being totally a reactionary say that. Then my 2820 02:37:05,879 --> 02:37:09,880 Speaker 23: last point is Pete head set for everybody who was 2821 02:37:09,920 --> 02:37:13,520 Speaker 23: paying attention is a d U I higher and everybody 2822 02:37:13,640 --> 02:37:15,600 Speaker 23: knows that. I'll take my answer. 2823 02:37:15,680 --> 02:37:19,439 Speaker 1: I thank you, all right, that's you said, d u I. Okay, gotcha, 2824 02:37:20,640 --> 02:37:22,240 Speaker 1: thanks Greg, Doctor Powers. 2825 02:37:22,879 --> 02:37:25,039 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's that's a sainisicant point. But let me let 2826 02:37:25,120 --> 02:37:27,680 Speaker 7: me just say I'm not separating, and I think we 2827 02:37:27,840 --> 02:37:32,480 Speaker 7: can't separate economics from education. Remember the person who said, 2828 02:37:32,520 --> 02:37:35,320 Speaker 7: at the bottom of everything, there must be economic independence 2829 02:37:35,480 --> 02:37:38,280 Speaker 7: for our people was Booker T. Washington. But he was 2830 02:37:38,360 --> 02:37:41,600 Speaker 7: president of Tuskegee University, so he wasn't just talking about 2831 02:37:42,080 --> 02:37:45,760 Speaker 7: education in the sense of giving everybody a formal education. 2832 02:37:45,879 --> 02:37:48,920 Speaker 7: He was talking about trades. Because you remember at Tuskegee 2833 02:37:49,000 --> 02:37:50,680 Speaker 7: if you were a student there, even if you were 2834 02:37:50,800 --> 02:37:53,720 Speaker 7: majoring in law, you had to grow your own food. 2835 02:37:53,920 --> 02:37:56,400 Speaker 7: He made them build their own downs because he said, 2836 02:37:56,480 --> 02:37:59,760 Speaker 7: in America, even if the government, even if you can't 2837 02:37:59,800 --> 02:38:01,400 Speaker 7: find a job, you have to be able to go 2838 02:38:01,480 --> 02:38:04,360 Speaker 7: out back and plant cucommas so you can feed your family. 2839 02:38:04,440 --> 02:38:06,240 Speaker 7: So you don't have to pray on your brother. So 2840 02:38:06,360 --> 02:38:09,840 Speaker 7: I don't separate too. But the job issue is extremely important. 2841 02:38:10,240 --> 02:38:13,680 Speaker 7: I just want to emphasize this. We have been working 2842 02:38:13,800 --> 02:38:17,960 Speaker 7: with organizations that are helping young people to get positions, 2843 02:38:18,000 --> 02:38:20,920 Speaker 7: but here's the education piece. We've got young people that 2844 02:38:21,000 --> 02:38:24,280 Speaker 7: we've gotten three or four positions for and they let 2845 02:38:24,400 --> 02:38:26,800 Speaker 7: go every time. One young man said he went to work. 2846 02:38:26,879 --> 02:38:29,000 Speaker 7: Thank you for the position. The money was good, he said, 2847 02:38:29,000 --> 02:38:31,320 Speaker 7: but there's a guy there who keep telling me what 2848 02:38:31,480 --> 02:38:33,120 Speaker 7: to do all the time, and I got angry, so 2849 02:38:33,200 --> 02:38:35,600 Speaker 7: I quit. What we didn't do is prepare him for 2850 02:38:35,720 --> 02:38:37,720 Speaker 7: a job. The person who was telling him what to 2851 02:38:37,760 --> 02:38:40,600 Speaker 7: do was a supervisor, but he's never been employed, so 2852 02:38:40,680 --> 02:38:42,960 Speaker 7: he didn't have the education of how they deal with 2853 02:38:43,080 --> 02:38:47,080 Speaker 7: an employment situation, whether it was a trade, whether he 2854 02:38:47,200 --> 02:38:50,240 Speaker 7: was an electrician, or whether it's in some other office. 2855 02:38:50,280 --> 02:38:54,600 Speaker 7: So there's an education piece even to job creation and 2856 02:38:54,800 --> 02:38:57,640 Speaker 7: job continuation, because even if we get them a job 2857 02:38:58,040 --> 02:39:00,480 Speaker 7: and they don't have the education, and I don't mean 2858 02:39:00,600 --> 02:39:04,680 Speaker 7: formal education, but the ability to understand the hierarchy of 2859 02:39:04,760 --> 02:39:06,800 Speaker 7: how it worked. If you hired him and you as 2860 02:39:06,840 --> 02:39:09,520 Speaker 7: a supervisor and he's getting mad at you for telling 2861 02:39:09,600 --> 02:39:11,880 Speaker 7: him what to do because nobody explained to him that 2862 02:39:12,000 --> 02:39:16,039 Speaker 7: in a job situation, they're supervisors, their plans, they are 2863 02:39:16,240 --> 02:39:18,680 Speaker 7: objectives for the day, then he won't get that. So 2864 02:39:18,760 --> 02:39:20,280 Speaker 7: what we had to do was back up with the 2865 02:39:20,360 --> 02:39:22,560 Speaker 7: young people we were getting jobs and before we send 2866 02:39:22,600 --> 02:39:26,199 Speaker 7: them out onto these jobs, because economic development is extremely important. 2867 02:39:27,000 --> 02:39:29,040 Speaker 7: It is to get them prepared not only to get 2868 02:39:29,120 --> 02:39:31,520 Speaker 7: the position so they can have work, but to keep 2869 02:39:31,560 --> 02:39:34,120 Speaker 7: the position so they're they're on time, so they're doing 2870 02:39:34,200 --> 02:39:36,720 Speaker 7: what they're supposed to do, so they understand the hierarchy, 2871 02:39:37,120 --> 02:39:39,680 Speaker 7: and so that they increase their skill set as they're 2872 02:39:39,680 --> 02:39:42,080 Speaker 7: going along, so they can go from jobs to careers. 2873 02:39:42,280 --> 02:39:44,880 Speaker 7: Because we don't just don't want them to have economic development. 2874 02:39:44,920 --> 02:39:47,000 Speaker 7: It's not just about having a job. It's about having 2875 02:39:47,040 --> 02:39:49,160 Speaker 7: a career that you can take care of family, take 2876 02:39:49,200 --> 02:39:51,480 Speaker 7: care of yourself for the next twenty thirty forty years 2877 02:39:51,520 --> 02:39:54,440 Speaker 7: and maybe have a retirement plan. So it's both. So 2878 02:39:55,560 --> 02:39:58,760 Speaker 7: what he's saying is extremely important. The economic part, as 2879 02:39:58,800 --> 02:40:01,560 Speaker 7: Booker T. Washington said, is at the foundation of everything else. 2880 02:40:02,360 --> 02:40:05,160 Speaker 7: But you understand economics and the key what you make 2881 02:40:05,400 --> 02:40:07,400 Speaker 7: or the invest what you make, or to say, what 2882 02:40:07,560 --> 02:40:11,160 Speaker 7: you make. There's an element. There's an education aspect to 2883 02:40:11,240 --> 02:40:13,560 Speaker 7: that too, and we are learning that tremendously as we 2884 02:40:13,640 --> 02:40:16,760 Speaker 7: get these young people jobs, but they're not necessarily keeping 2885 02:40:16,840 --> 02:40:19,320 Speaker 7: them because we didn't do the other part of preparing 2886 02:40:19,400 --> 02:40:21,920 Speaker 7: them how to go to work, how to dress for work, 2887 02:40:22,280 --> 02:40:24,680 Speaker 7: how to what to do a work, and how the 2888 02:40:24,879 --> 02:40:27,760 Speaker 7: work hierarchy work. Whether they're working for a black company 2889 02:40:27,879 --> 02:40:29,760 Speaker 7: or white company, there are certain moves they have to 2890 02:40:29,800 --> 02:40:33,959 Speaker 7: apply and discipline which requires which requires some understanding, which 2891 02:40:34,040 --> 02:40:34,920 Speaker 7: is part of education. 2892 02:40:36,120 --> 02:40:38,080 Speaker 1: That's an excellent point. I've seen so many young people 2893 02:40:38,160 --> 02:40:40,320 Speaker 1: fall in that trap too, Doc, when they get on 2894 02:40:40,400 --> 02:40:42,880 Speaker 1: the job and then on the politics of work, and 2895 02:40:43,000 --> 02:40:45,360 Speaker 1: they get caught up with who said he said and 2896 02:40:45,400 --> 02:40:50,000 Speaker 1: all that kind of saying them yeah, yeah, true, yep, grateful, 2897 02:40:50,160 --> 02:40:52,320 Speaker 1: great point. Twenty five After the top down, I've got 2898 02:40:52,400 --> 02:40:54,160 Speaker 1: some more folks want to talk to you.

But I want to throw something out. 2908 02:41:23,520 --> 02:41:25,800 Speaker 17: You tell me what you think. Yes, I want you 2909 02:41:25,879 --> 02:41:28,960 Speaker 17: to imagine separate in the park from someplace like DC 2910 02:41:29,440 --> 02:41:32,000 Speaker 17: where the president can federalize the police. You can't do 2911 02:41:32,120 --> 02:41:35,520 Speaker 17: that in Chicago. That's a municipality, have their local police, etc. 2912 02:41:36,280 --> 02:41:39,680 Speaker 17: They just had to raid in Chicago at that apartment building. Yes, 2913 02:41:39,959 --> 02:41:42,680 Speaker 17: what happens in a situation like that where the local 2914 02:41:42,760 --> 02:41:45,600 Speaker 17: police people call the local police and they come and 2915 02:41:45,680 --> 02:41:48,440 Speaker 17: they grab they see these deputies doing things that are 2916 02:41:48,480 --> 02:41:54,480 Speaker 17: clearly violation of Chicago law. Has anybody discussed that as 2917 02:41:54,560 --> 02:41:57,640 Speaker 17: to whether or not that is a continuation Again, when 2918 02:41:57,680 --> 02:42:00,680 Speaker 17: you talk about Cointel Pro, it turned me everything in 2919 02:42:00,760 --> 02:42:04,000 Speaker 17: law enforcement, from the local to the national and even 2920 02:42:04,040 --> 02:42:08,800 Speaker 17: to the international. So, now, is there any strategy for 2921 02:42:08,959 --> 02:42:11,560 Speaker 17: putting when you have a black mayor of the city, 2922 02:42:11,959 --> 02:42:16,120 Speaker 17: the local forces against the national forces for the purposes 2923 02:42:16,280 --> 02:42:19,280 Speaker 17: of protecting the citizens, because if you don't, you potentially 2924 02:42:19,400 --> 02:42:22,240 Speaker 17: create anarchy on the streets. What do you think about that? 2925 02:42:23,040 --> 02:42:26,199 Speaker 7: And I have a following, Yeah, and now we brief 2926 02:42:26,280 --> 02:42:27,840 Speaker 7: with this because you have a follow up and another 2927 02:42:27,920 --> 02:42:33,199 Speaker 7: the callers working. There is a antagonistic relationship between state 2928 02:42:33,240 --> 02:42:36,160 Speaker 7: and local police departments, and most mayors, because they don't 2929 02:42:36,200 --> 02:42:39,800 Speaker 7: want chaos, they understand that's provacation from the federal government. 2930 02:42:40,080 --> 02:42:42,680 Speaker 7: Because they don't want chaos, usually tell their people to 2931 02:42:42,760 --> 02:42:45,800 Speaker 7: stand down. Now, on the other hand, think about this. 2932 02:42:46,400 --> 02:42:49,640 Speaker 7: There's a requirement by law of a duty to intervene. 2933 02:42:49,840 --> 02:42:52,480 Speaker 7: So if you see anyone, whether they're in whether you're 2934 02:42:52,480 --> 02:42:57,040 Speaker 7: in blue jeans or blue uniform, abusing people, technically you 2935 02:42:57,240 --> 02:43:02,760 Speaker 7: are violating the laws, violating your administrative policy not to intervene. 2936 02:43:02,800 --> 02:43:06,520 Speaker 7: So if the federal authorities are abusing some local individual, technically, 2937 02:43:06,640 --> 02:43:10,480 Speaker 7: by law you have to intervene. But unfortunately, many mayors 2938 02:43:10,560 --> 02:43:13,240 Speaker 7: now because they don't want the chaos and the provocation 2939 02:43:13,920 --> 02:43:16,720 Speaker 7: of telling their people just staying down, back out, or 2940 02:43:16,920 --> 02:43:20,520 Speaker 7: don't help but support and leave, which still leaves as 2941 02:43:20,560 --> 02:43:24,760 Speaker 7: you as indicated if you have indicated the public vulnerable. 2942 02:43:26,760 --> 02:43:28,880 Speaker 17: Now, Part two of that is I saw a video 2943 02:43:29,000 --> 02:43:31,119 Speaker 17: the other day and I was helping out a young 2944 02:43:31,160 --> 02:43:38,280 Speaker 17: attorney who does immigration, and here's what happened. I guess 2945 02:43:38,400 --> 02:43:41,600 Speaker 17: these guys were non uniform pretending to be ice or whatever. 2946 02:43:41,760 --> 02:43:44,080 Speaker 17: I think they're just deputized, et cetera. I don't think 2947 02:43:44,080 --> 02:43:46,200 Speaker 17: they really have to train it. But they show up 2948 02:43:46,240 --> 02:43:49,359 Speaker 17: at an immigration court where a person was seeking asylum. 2949 02:43:50,280 --> 02:43:53,520 Speaker 17: Asylum means that he has a right to be here, 2950 02:43:53,680 --> 02:43:56,160 Speaker 17: and he potentially has a court order to be in 2951 02:43:56,280 --> 02:44:02,400 Speaker 17: court for a particular hearing. When they show up, the 2952 02:44:02,480 --> 02:44:05,120 Speaker 17: person refuses to answer any questions, and there's a bystander 2953 02:44:05,160 --> 02:44:07,200 Speaker 17: who's telling them, don't answer any questions, don't give them 2954 02:44:07,240 --> 02:44:09,680 Speaker 17: your name, etc. And he's asking these people over and over, 2955 02:44:09,760 --> 02:44:11,400 Speaker 17: do you have a warrant? Do you have a want? 2956 02:44:11,440 --> 02:44:15,440 Speaker 17: Do you have a warrant? Whenever you interphere with a 2957 02:44:15,560 --> 02:44:18,440 Speaker 17: judicial process that is a court order, having been in 2958 02:44:18,520 --> 02:44:21,800 Speaker 17: a thousand court, whenever you interfere with the juicial process, 2959 02:44:21,879 --> 02:44:26,280 Speaker 17: that's obstructing of justice, especially even if it's an asylum hearing. 2960 02:44:27,440 --> 02:44:32,680 Speaker 17: Does the stand down that we talked about, does that 2961 02:44:35,360 --> 02:44:38,880 Speaker 17: does that accentuate the kind of chaos that we see 2962 02:44:39,040 --> 02:44:42,039 Speaker 17: with people snatching people out of asylum hearing? Or would 2963 02:44:42,240 --> 02:44:44,800 Speaker 17: the enforcement of that particular law, that is calling the 2964 02:44:44,840 --> 02:44:48,280 Speaker 17: local police telling people not to talk, calling the local 2965 02:44:48,320 --> 02:44:50,240 Speaker 17: police and saying this person is violating in a court 2966 02:44:50,400 --> 02:44:54,920 Speaker 17: order and placing the police against these deputies, would that 2967 02:44:55,120 --> 02:44:57,560 Speaker 17: be more beneficial in your mind? Or would it be 2968 02:44:57,760 --> 02:45:02,080 Speaker 17: more detrimental? And again, can they were already at the 2969 02:45:02,120 --> 02:45:04,480 Speaker 17: point of almost anarchy or chaos? 2970 02:45:05,280 --> 02:45:08,879 Speaker 7: What could be worth well two things and real quick 2971 02:45:09,640 --> 02:45:13,000 Speaker 7: because I know called got other calls. But here's why 2972 02:45:13,120 --> 02:45:17,320 Speaker 7: you are having ice. Individuals wear mask and hide their 2973 02:45:17,400 --> 02:45:21,200 Speaker 7: identity because they are clear that local states attorneys, if 2974 02:45:21,240 --> 02:45:24,560 Speaker 7: they wanted to, could identify those officers were violating people 2975 02:45:24,640 --> 02:45:28,640 Speaker 7: constitutional right and could charge them criminally or could take 2976 02:45:28,680 --> 02:45:32,520 Speaker 7: other actions against them. This explains why you are having 2977 02:45:32,640 --> 02:45:35,000 Speaker 7: ice officers because they know they're in violation of the law. 2978 02:45:35,080 --> 02:45:37,800 Speaker 7: They know they don't have probable cause. The constitution requires 2979 02:45:37,840 --> 02:45:40,920 Speaker 7: that you can't overstep the bounds of the constitution. They 2980 02:45:41,040 --> 02:45:43,400 Speaker 7: know that if they don't have a want of probable cause. 2981 02:45:43,400 --> 02:45:45,879 Speaker 7: According to the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution, there's 2982 02:45:45,879 --> 02:45:48,440 Speaker 7: certain steps they can't take. So the only way they 2983 02:45:48,520 --> 02:45:52,480 Speaker 7: can prevent themselves from running into maybe a state's attorney 2984 02:45:52,600 --> 02:45:56,240 Speaker 7: with some courage and some wisdom and the willingness to 2985 02:45:56,360 --> 02:45:59,160 Speaker 7: do it and some boldness is to hide their identity. 2986 02:45:59,360 --> 02:46:01,760 Speaker 7: So all you can say as Ice was here, but 2987 02:46:01,920 --> 02:46:04,680 Speaker 7: you can't say officers so and so, because remember when 2988 02:46:04,720 --> 02:46:06,840 Speaker 7: we do civil lawsuits, and I know you're already familiar 2989 02:46:06,879 --> 02:46:10,199 Speaker 7: with this, or when we do legal action, you name 2990 02:46:10,360 --> 02:46:14,160 Speaker 7: the officer and the agency. What they've done is put 2991 02:46:14,240 --> 02:46:16,480 Speaker 7: people in a position of not being able to name 2992 02:46:16,600 --> 02:46:20,040 Speaker 7: the officer. The officers have masks on they don't have 2993 02:46:20,160 --> 02:46:25,320 Speaker 7: their names on their uniforms, and they are anticipating it. 2994 02:46:25,440 --> 02:46:28,640 Speaker 7: At some point, maybe a strong state's attorney, maybe and 2995 02:46:28,680 --> 02:46:31,440 Speaker 7: I've been based, maybe somebody will say, wait a minute, 2996 02:46:31,840 --> 02:46:34,640 Speaker 7: this has gone too far. I'm actually charging them with 2997 02:46:34,840 --> 02:46:37,320 Speaker 7: a local crime and they have to appear in court, 2998 02:46:37,680 --> 02:46:39,680 Speaker 7: and they can't be pardoned by a president because he 2999 02:46:39,720 --> 02:46:42,920 Speaker 7: can only pardon federal crimes, so they'll avoid that particular 3000 02:46:43,000 --> 02:46:45,199 Speaker 7: situation is why you see the mask in the lask 3001 02:46:45,480 --> 02:46:46,560 Speaker 7: lack of identification. 3002 02:46:47,879 --> 02:46:49,879 Speaker 17: You know, I appreciate it, and I love your book. 3003 02:46:49,920 --> 02:46:51,160 Speaker 22: By the way, Casey wanted to know Ball. 3004 02:46:51,200 --> 02:46:52,080 Speaker 11: We'll over do out there. 3005 02:46:52,080 --> 02:46:54,080 Speaker 17: It's a very good book, right or one of the best. 3006 02:46:54,520 --> 02:46:55,200 Speaker 7: Thank you, Thank you. 3007 02:46:55,240 --> 02:46:55,760 Speaker 10: I appreciate it. 3008 02:46:55,840 --> 02:46:56,000 Speaker 9: Thank you. 3009 02:46:56,040 --> 02:46:57,160 Speaker 17: Call for your time as well. 3010 02:46:57,280 --> 02:46:59,520 Speaker 1: Thank you all right, thank you.

Let me get to it real quick. What 3019 02:47:16,520 --> 02:47:20,879 Speaker 6: is the most overqualified defense secretary in the United States history? 3020 02:47:21,320 --> 02:47:24,480 Speaker 6: Last I check, I think it was a speech star general. Okay, 3021 02:47:24,879 --> 02:47:28,640 Speaker 6: and the current what defense secretary can't even carry his 3022 02:47:28,959 --> 02:47:32,760 Speaker 6: military lunch box? Now, let me just say this, Let 3023 02:47:32,840 --> 02:47:33,760 Speaker 6: me get to give you the question. 3024 02:47:34,879 --> 02:47:36,039 Speaker 20: Do we really. 3025 02:47:37,760 --> 02:47:38,599 Speaker 6: The terms. 3026 02:47:39,800 --> 02:47:42,760 Speaker 12: Thousand different definitions of what what is the terms? 3027 02:47:43,040 --> 02:47:46,640 Speaker 6: Do we need to take the guns, the nis, the 3028 02:47:46,840 --> 02:47:51,080 Speaker 6: bombs and other things that we uh uh harm in 3029 02:47:51,120 --> 02:47:55,640 Speaker 6: each outherle with off the streets immediately, or do we 3030 02:47:56,640 --> 02:48:02,400 Speaker 6: continue with the terms angle the doctor in criminology told 3031 02:48:02,440 --> 02:48:05,320 Speaker 6: me years ago that what. 3032 02:48:05,680 --> 02:48:10,480 Speaker 12: Was policing it was deterrence the appearance of the of 3033 02:48:10,600 --> 02:48:16,520 Speaker 12: the law enforcement there. That is what deters crime. Tell 3034 02:48:16,560 --> 02:48:19,400 Speaker 12: me what you think about that, because strange things that 3035 02:48:19,480 --> 02:48:22,440 Speaker 12: happened in America. Good names are going off in people's 3036 02:48:22,480 --> 02:48:25,320 Speaker 12: home and the the name was about thirty years old, 3037 02:48:25,920 --> 02:48:29,279 Speaker 12: so they're key thing those type of weapons in their homes. 3038 02:48:29,200 --> 02:48:32,120 Speaker 22: And of course what's going on all over America. 3039 02:48:32,480 --> 02:48:37,080 Speaker 12: Talk to me, doctor, appreciate everything. Love your commentary, Appreciate it. 3040 02:48:37,200 --> 02:48:37,440 Speaker 22: Thank you. 3041 02:48:38,360 --> 02:48:40,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I missed part of your question because 3042 02:48:40,120 --> 02:48:43,520 Speaker 7: you were breaking up. But the Cancer City experiment and 3043 02:48:43,600 --> 02:48:47,600 Speaker 7: your criminology professor probably told you this talked about the 3044 02:48:47,800 --> 02:48:50,400 Speaker 7: impact of police presidence, or the more presence of more 3045 02:48:50,440 --> 02:48:54,240 Speaker 7: police in the area, and while it did reduce crime some, 3046 02:48:54,640 --> 02:48:58,560 Speaker 7: it didn't reduce it significantly. So I'm not suggesting that 3047 02:48:58,800 --> 02:49:02,560 Speaker 7: a more presence in a particular area as a deterrent. 3048 02:49:02,600 --> 02:49:04,840 Speaker 7: Because we all know that we're driving down the street, 3049 02:49:05,040 --> 02:49:07,039 Speaker 7: we see a police officer in our resnew mirror, even 3050 02:49:07,080 --> 02:49:08,840 Speaker 7: if we're going to speed limit. We look down at 3051 02:49:08,920 --> 02:49:11,440 Speaker 7: ours pre dominant, which is why the continuum of use 3052 02:49:11,480 --> 02:49:14,000 Speaker 7: of forces start with the mere presence of the police officer. 3053 02:49:14,440 --> 02:49:18,560 Speaker 7: That has an impact too. The guns in the nows 3054 02:49:18,600 --> 02:49:21,360 Speaker 7: in our community and the weapons in our community that 3055 02:49:21,440 --> 02:49:23,400 Speaker 7: we use against each other would be it would be 3056 02:49:23,520 --> 02:49:27,560 Speaker 7: great to dramatically reduce that. I don't think though I 3057 02:49:27,680 --> 02:49:32,080 Speaker 7: did an interview. I was called the one by to 3058 02:49:32,200 --> 02:49:34,600 Speaker 7: do an interview with the National Right Or Association, and 3059 02:49:34,800 --> 02:49:39,160 Speaker 7: they were asking me about, you know, don't people have 3060 02:49:39,240 --> 02:49:41,240 Speaker 7: a right to bear arms and so on and so forth. 3061 02:49:41,280 --> 02:49:43,480 Speaker 7: And now I said to them, in a very strategic 3062 02:49:43,600 --> 02:49:46,879 Speaker 7: move in that particular conversation, that I think every law 3063 02:49:46,879 --> 02:49:50,480 Speaker 7: abiding black person in America should have a weapon just 3064 02:49:50,560 --> 02:49:52,480 Speaker 7: because of the history of this nation and the fact 3065 02:49:52,520 --> 02:49:56,440 Speaker 7: that black people have been constitutely intruded upon. So I 3066 02:49:56,480 --> 02:49:58,320 Speaker 7: think we have to be able to defend ourselves and 3067 02:49:58,400 --> 02:50:00,320 Speaker 7: find our homes and defend our homes. That's not what 3068 02:50:00,360 --> 02:50:02,320 Speaker 7: they were looking for. They were just looking for it 3069 02:50:02,400 --> 02:50:04,440 Speaker 7: right to bear arms. Not necessarily we need to write 3070 02:50:04,440 --> 02:50:07,200 Speaker 7: to bear arms because of what you all have done 3071 02:50:07,240 --> 02:50:10,400 Speaker 7: and what has been done to us in this particular nation. 3072 02:50:10,520 --> 02:50:13,440 Speaker 7: But what I can say is that there's never gonna 3073 02:50:13,440 --> 02:50:16,840 Speaker 7: be a time when they remove all the guns, legal 3074 02:50:16,959 --> 02:50:21,120 Speaker 7: or illegal. And if they did. I think that that 3075 02:50:21,160 --> 02:50:23,920 Speaker 7: would be a difficult proposition. Coleman Young, who was mayor 3076 02:50:23,959 --> 02:50:26,200 Speaker 7: of Detroit during the time that I was serving there 3077 02:50:26,879 --> 02:50:30,800 Speaker 7: as a FBI agent, said to the public when they 3078 02:50:30,800 --> 02:50:33,480 Speaker 7: asked him about reducing guns and gun laws and Detroit, 3079 02:50:33,520 --> 02:50:36,000 Speaker 7: he said, I refuse to disarm a city full of 3080 02:50:36,040 --> 02:50:40,200 Speaker 7: black people. They're surrounded by counties and royal areas full 3081 02:50:40,200 --> 02:50:42,960 Speaker 7: of white people who have all kinds of guns and weapons. 3082 02:50:43,000 --> 02:50:44,840 Speaker 7: He said, I would have to believe in the innate 3083 02:50:44,959 --> 02:50:49,119 Speaker 7: goodness of those that surround us before I disarmed everyone 3084 02:50:49,200 --> 02:50:50,760 Speaker 7: in the city. He said, I want to disarm the 3085 02:50:50,800 --> 02:50:53,840 Speaker 7: criminal element. I wanted to disarm people who had the 3086 02:50:53,879 --> 02:50:56,720 Speaker 7: mental capacity and the reason to be able to have 3087 02:50:56,959 --> 02:50:59,880 Speaker 7: this ability to defend themselves. He said. But the only 3088 02:51:00,120 --> 02:51:02,160 Speaker 7: way I would get rid of all guns is if 3089 02:51:02,200 --> 02:51:04,600 Speaker 7: you if I got rid of the people in the county. 3090 02:51:04,640 --> 02:51:06,800 Speaker 7: And then gil Scott Hearing came out with a wonderful 3091 02:51:06,879 --> 02:51:09,200 Speaker 7: song called the Gun, and he said, the philosophy seem 3092 02:51:09,240 --> 02:51:11,240 Speaker 7: to be as least as near as I can see, 3093 02:51:11,320 --> 02:51:13,480 Speaker 7: when other folks give up their as I'll give of mind. 3094 02:51:13,560 --> 02:51:17,560 Speaker 7: So you always will have this tension, especially where you're 3095 02:51:17,600 --> 02:51:19,640 Speaker 7: dealing with black people, And the reality of the matter 3096 02:51:19,760 --> 02:51:22,800 Speaker 7: is the majority of black people are not involved in violence, 3097 02:51:22,840 --> 02:51:25,720 Speaker 7: even if they have weapons. They're involved in self defense 3098 02:51:25,760 --> 02:51:28,000 Speaker 7: and their homes and of their family. And there is 3099 02:51:28,080 --> 02:51:32,520 Speaker 7: a portion of our community that is involved in violence 3100 02:51:32,560 --> 02:51:34,920 Speaker 7: and involved in hurting people, and we have to deal 3101 02:51:35,000 --> 02:51:38,440 Speaker 7: with that. We can't ignore that. But that would be 3102 02:51:38,520 --> 02:51:41,440 Speaker 7: my answer, should should we? 3103 02:51:42,000 --> 02:51:42,040 Speaker 15: So? 3104 02:51:42,440 --> 02:51:44,720 Speaker 1: Are you are you saying that we should patrol our 3105 02:51:44,760 --> 02:51:47,720 Speaker 1: own communities then, or should we rely on people either 3106 02:51:47,920 --> 02:51:51,760 Speaker 1: FOI or and all these anti gang groups, especially we 3107 02:51:51,840 --> 02:51:54,160 Speaker 1: have in Washington, DC era Should we rely more on 3108 02:51:54,280 --> 02:51:58,040 Speaker 1: them than say, the Metropolitan Police Department and the other 3109 02:51:58,200 --> 02:52:00,960 Speaker 1: law enforcements in the district. I'll let you respond to 3110 02:52:01,040 --> 02:52:03,720 Speaker 1: that after we take the short break. It's twenty four 3111 02:52:03,760 --> 02:52:05,200 Speaker 1: minutes away from the top of the our family. You 3112 02:52:05,240 --> 02:52:08,400 Speaker 1: two can join our conversation with our guest, former FBI 3113 02:52:08,480 --> 02:52:11,040 Speaker 1: agent doctor Tyrone Powers.

Larry 3122 02:52:32,800 --> 02:52:34,120 Speaker 1: your question for doctor Powers. 3123 02:52:36,760 --> 02:52:38,440 Speaker 9: Hello, Baron Rising, can you hear me? 3124 02:52:40,360 --> 02:52:40,600 Speaker 1: Sure? 3125 02:52:40,879 --> 02:52:41,039 Speaker 7: Yes? 3126 02:52:41,800 --> 02:52:42,160 Speaker 16: Yes, sir? 3127 02:52:42,400 --> 02:52:47,240 Speaker 9: Okay, sound like a problem with the line anyway. What 3128 02:52:47,320 --> 02:52:50,560 Speaker 9: I wanted to say was when I hear Elijah Muhammad's 3129 02:52:50,640 --> 02:52:54,240 Speaker 9: name interjected, I just want to say, you know, happy 3130 02:52:54,280 --> 02:52:58,120 Speaker 9: birthday to him tomorrow. Yes, sir, we need to acknowledge. 3131 02:52:58,360 --> 02:53:03,200 Speaker 9: We need to acknowledge that and what we're not looking at. 3132 02:53:03,720 --> 02:53:07,600 Speaker 9: We're always looking outwardly instead of inwardly. When it comes 3133 02:53:07,640 --> 02:53:11,320 Speaker 9: to the violence, Dick Gregory and the facts and the 3134 02:53:11,400 --> 02:53:15,160 Speaker 9: data proves he said it before that forty eight percent 3135 02:53:15,240 --> 02:53:22,120 Speaker 9: of the crimes committed in this country are done by people, family, friends, 3136 02:53:22,200 --> 02:53:27,200 Speaker 9: and people who know each other. That's the systemic problem 3137 02:53:27,280 --> 02:53:30,680 Speaker 9: that need to be dealt with. That's the inwardly problem. Now, 3138 02:53:30,720 --> 02:53:34,959 Speaker 9: when you look outwardly, the infiltration comes from those who 3139 02:53:35,760 --> 02:53:40,040 Speaker 9: where they tap into the redeemable characteristic of envy and 3140 02:53:40,160 --> 02:53:43,560 Speaker 9: jealousy and a lack of resources, so they use money. 3141 02:53:43,840 --> 02:53:44,840 Speaker 9: They infiltrate us with. 3142 02:53:44,920 --> 02:53:49,360 Speaker 7: Drugs, neutralize us with that, but we will always. 3143 02:53:48,920 --> 02:53:53,360 Speaker 9: Be infiltrated because that envy and the jealousy, and we 3144 02:53:53,440 --> 02:53:57,760 Speaker 9: don't speak enough about the informants. Now see, you would 3145 02:53:57,800 --> 02:54:01,360 Speaker 9: be considered yourself, Sir, cannot say late the spook who 3146 02:54:01,400 --> 02:54:03,320 Speaker 9: sat by the door, would you say that? 3147 02:54:05,640 --> 02:54:09,600 Speaker 7: I haven't labeled myself as anything? But I think I don't. 3148 02:54:09,640 --> 02:54:12,080 Speaker 7: I don't know if I had the intent as Sam 3149 02:54:12,160 --> 02:54:14,520 Speaker 7: Greenley's carriage and the spook who sat by the door 3150 02:54:14,600 --> 02:54:16,560 Speaker 7: went in with an intent. I don't know if I 3151 02:54:16,640 --> 02:54:20,240 Speaker 7: had that intent, but I can't. I guess I could 3152 02:54:20,280 --> 02:54:20,680 Speaker 7: accept that. 3153 02:54:22,120 --> 02:54:23,680 Speaker 3: Okay, lot of your question real. 3154 02:54:23,640 --> 02:54:25,280 Speaker 1: Quick, because we've got a bunch of folks trying to 3155 02:54:25,280 --> 02:54:26,240 Speaker 1: get at doctor powers. 3156 02:54:27,480 --> 02:54:30,600 Speaker 9: Okay, lastly, how do you think that we will ever 3157 02:54:31,160 --> 02:54:36,600 Speaker 9: conquer infiltration when you have over two thousand and three 3158 02:54:36,720 --> 02:54:40,480 Speaker 9: thousands of informants that look like US men and women 3159 02:54:40,920 --> 02:54:44,160 Speaker 9: who will work against with the enemy against their own people. 3160 02:54:44,560 --> 02:54:47,200 Speaker 1: That's it, thanks, Larry, good question, Doc. 3161 02:54:48,240 --> 02:54:51,760 Speaker 7: Well, yeah, he made he made a great deal of 3162 02:54:51,800 --> 02:54:54,120 Speaker 7: good points which I can't all address right now. But 3163 02:54:54,240 --> 02:54:57,119 Speaker 7: I just think that that education piece and understanding coin 3164 02:54:57,200 --> 02:55:00,120 Speaker 7: tail pro and as he talked about, well, how help 3165 02:55:00,200 --> 02:55:02,680 Speaker 7: us the things that happened in the past of organizations 3166 02:55:02,800 --> 02:55:05,119 Speaker 7: like the Nation of Islam and how they infiltrated them, 3167 02:55:05,200 --> 02:55:09,400 Speaker 7: how they divided and conquered. Understanding that because if you understand, 3168 02:55:09,440 --> 02:55:12,119 Speaker 7: you can't counter what you can't understand. And that's why 3169 02:55:12,120 --> 02:55:15,240 Speaker 7: I keep saying, understand that, Well, let's help us reduce 3170 02:55:15,480 --> 02:55:19,959 Speaker 7: or mitigate the impact of anyone who opposes our community, 3171 02:55:20,040 --> 02:55:23,280 Speaker 7: and also dealing with the issues in our community, which 3172 02:55:23,360 --> 02:55:26,240 Speaker 7: is all part two of the miseducation, and that I 3173 02:55:26,320 --> 02:55:29,720 Speaker 7: said before the fact that they had us escape out 3174 02:55:29,840 --> 02:55:33,199 Speaker 7: problems through alcohol and drugs rather than to address our problem. 3175 02:55:33,240 --> 02:55:36,200 Speaker 7: We were fighting these things for a while and then 3176 02:55:36,280 --> 02:55:39,359 Speaker 7: we decided to just get high. 3177 02:55:41,040 --> 02:55:43,360 Speaker 1: Fifteen away from the top. Now let's go to Kansas City. 3178 02:55:43,440 --> 02:55:47,560 Speaker 1: Roberts wading versus online too. Roberts your question for doctor Powers. 3179 02:55:49,879 --> 02:55:53,400 Speaker 22: The top of the morning to you and Carl, I 3180 02:55:53,520 --> 02:55:59,120 Speaker 22: wonder has a Trump thought that these are national guards 3181 02:55:59,240 --> 02:56:02,680 Speaker 22: who are in We're in DC and going to be 3182 02:56:02,760 --> 02:56:05,680 Speaker 22: dispatched of the cities. Has he has he considered the 3183 02:56:05,760 --> 02:56:08,880 Speaker 22: fact that these guards are not going to be staying 3184 02:56:08,920 --> 02:56:13,200 Speaker 22: in these cities indefinitely, so so, so what happens when 3185 02:56:13,280 --> 02:56:15,880 Speaker 22: they leave? Get It looks like to me everything is 3186 02:56:15,920 --> 02:56:18,200 Speaker 22: going to go back to normal. What what are you 3187 02:56:18,400 --> 02:56:19,360 Speaker 22: What is your thought about that? 3188 02:56:19,640 --> 02:56:21,520 Speaker 1: Robert? Wait, hold on second, Rober, we lost you for 3189 02:56:21,560 --> 02:56:24,039 Speaker 1: a second. Can you repeat your question again for doctor Powers. 3190 02:56:25,280 --> 02:56:28,560 Speaker 22: Well, I was telling doctor Powells that these National Guard 3191 02:56:28,680 --> 02:56:32,080 Speaker 22: troops that Trump has just dispatched to these different cities, 3192 02:56:32,560 --> 02:56:35,600 Speaker 22: they're not going to be able to stay there indefinitely. So, 3193 02:56:35,800 --> 02:56:39,480 Speaker 22: so what happens when they finally do pack their luggage 3194 02:56:39,560 --> 02:56:41,960 Speaker 22: up and lead It seems to me like everything is 3195 02:56:42,040 --> 02:56:44,080 Speaker 22: going to go back to normal as far as crime. 3196 02:56:44,200 --> 02:56:46,200 Speaker 22: So if everything's going to go back to normal, but 3197 02:56:46,480 --> 02:56:49,199 Speaker 22: then what was the purpose of it in the first place, 3198 02:56:49,280 --> 02:56:52,000 Speaker 22: other than something political that you're trying to achieve? 3199 02:56:52,840 --> 02:56:53,840 Speaker 1: All right, thanks Robert? 3200 02:56:54,600 --> 02:56:57,160 Speaker 7: Well, yeah, and b see it is. It is a 3201 02:56:57,920 --> 02:57:02,280 Speaker 7: political It's another cold maneuver. Now, there are such things, 3202 02:57:02,800 --> 02:57:04,960 Speaker 7: and as you know in law enforcement, in the military 3203 02:57:05,000 --> 02:57:08,040 Speaker 7: and also in the intelligence agency, call an SOS a 3204 02:57:08,160 --> 02:57:10,640 Speaker 7: show of force. But you hope to show a force 3205 02:57:10,680 --> 02:57:13,120 Speaker 7: for a little while dramatically drive down crime and then 3206 02:57:13,200 --> 02:57:18,080 Speaker 7: replace it with something that would permanently get rid of crime. 3207 02:57:18,240 --> 02:57:23,160 Speaker 7: Because what you're hoping is that the major perpetrators of 3208 02:57:23,600 --> 02:57:26,480 Speaker 7: things that were occurring has been removed by the short 3209 02:57:26,560 --> 02:57:29,040 Speaker 7: stay of the individuals who are present. But being that, 3210 02:57:29,120 --> 02:57:32,240 Speaker 7: the National Guards are just a presence and there's no 3211 02:57:32,480 --> 02:57:35,400 Speaker 7: long term plan or operation. And this is why I 3212 02:57:35,480 --> 02:57:38,359 Speaker 7: said to the caller earlier, there has to be collaboration 3213 02:57:38,680 --> 02:57:41,600 Speaker 7: because as this caller just said, at some point, they're 3214 02:57:41,640 --> 02:57:46,040 Speaker 7: going to vacate, And what is the long term plan 3215 02:57:46,640 --> 02:57:50,160 Speaker 7: to sustain whatever success, if you have any success that 3216 02:57:50,240 --> 02:57:52,840 Speaker 7: you've achieved by this short term presence. And I don't 3217 02:57:52,879 --> 02:57:56,879 Speaker 7: think that's the thought process because it's more political than purposeful. 3218 02:57:58,080 --> 02:58:00,240 Speaker 1: All Right, thank you for your call, Robin and Kansas City. 3219 02:58:00,320 --> 02:58:02,440 Speaker 1: By the way, Doctor Power's book is called Ice to 3220 02:58:02,560 --> 02:58:04,560 Speaker 1: My Soul.

But and then I always say 3246 02:59:41,840 --> 02:59:43,560 Speaker 7: this call, and I want to say it now. I 3247 02:59:43,680 --> 02:59:47,160 Speaker 7: know we're running short on time, but there is solutions 3248 02:59:47,240 --> 02:59:49,119 Speaker 7: to these particular problems. And I think in a lot 3249 02:59:49,160 --> 02:59:51,560 Speaker 7: of our communities there's a lot of organizations and a 3250 02:59:51,600 --> 02:59:54,800 Speaker 7: lot of people putting things in place to mitigate the 3251 02:59:54,920 --> 02:59:57,520 Speaker 7: long term impact of these things. I know we're talking 3252 02:59:57,560 --> 03:00:00,440 Speaker 7: about and highlighting things that have gone wrong in continue 3253 03:00:00,440 --> 03:00:03,439 Speaker 7: to go a wrong across the nation and with our organizations. 3254 03:00:03,480 --> 03:00:05,800 Speaker 7: But I don't want us to be to make the 3255 03:00:05,879 --> 03:00:09,959 Speaker 7: audience so pessimistic that when they leave, when they leaving conversation, 3256 03:00:10,080 --> 03:00:12,600 Speaker 7: they want to go to a bathtub and slip their 3257 03:00:12,680 --> 03:00:16,080 Speaker 7: risks of bathtub. There are people working for solutions. There 3258 03:00:16,120 --> 03:00:19,240 Speaker 7: are solutions. That's why, that's why you have your program. 3259 03:00:19,400 --> 03:00:22,280 Speaker 7: You bring excellent guests on with people not only with 3260 03:00:22,560 --> 03:00:26,480 Speaker 7: identifying the problem and identifying the contradictions as the college, 3261 03:00:26,560 --> 03:00:30,000 Speaker 7: as the professor just did, but also some concrete solutions. 3262 03:00:30,080 --> 03:00:33,080 Speaker 7: And I am convinced as I talk to young people 3263 03:00:33,200 --> 03:00:35,400 Speaker 7: and people across the nation. Like I said, the lecture 3264 03:00:35,440 --> 03:00:37,760 Speaker 7: we had in Chicago, the people who came out and 3265 03:00:37,840 --> 03:00:40,320 Speaker 7: we had a conversation now a yelling match. They didn't 3266 03:00:40,320 --> 03:00:42,720 Speaker 7: ask them to agree or disagree with me. I don't 3267 03:00:42,840 --> 03:00:45,840 Speaker 7: need people to I'm not a pastor, so I don't 3268 03:00:45,879 --> 03:00:48,000 Speaker 7: need an amen or you tell them. I don't need 3269 03:00:48,080 --> 03:00:51,320 Speaker 7: all that applause. But I do think that there are 3270 03:00:51,400 --> 03:00:53,880 Speaker 7: people who beginning to get this, and the more information 3271 03:00:54,040 --> 03:00:57,039 Speaker 7: you give out on your particular program, we can pass 3272 03:00:57,120 --> 03:00:59,040 Speaker 7: this on to young people in a way that's not 3273 03:00:59,240 --> 03:01:04,680 Speaker 7: condemnation but strategy, conversation solutions. And I think we'll see 3274 03:01:04,800 --> 03:01:08,280 Speaker 7: a change of behavior, even if it's incrementally, and even 3275 03:01:08,360 --> 03:01:11,240 Speaker 7: if we're not seeing it overnight. I do think that 3276 03:01:12,360 --> 03:01:15,160 Speaker 7: this is there is a way, and there's a group 3277 03:01:15,200 --> 03:01:17,400 Speaker 7: of young people, and there are people, and not only 3278 03:01:17,480 --> 03:01:20,280 Speaker 7: young people, but people who are putting things in place 3279 03:01:20,400 --> 03:01:25,240 Speaker 7: that are allowing us to be optimistic about the future 3280 03:01:25,320 --> 03:01:26,640 Speaker 7: and somewhat about the present. 3281 03:01:27,640 --> 03:01:29,480 Speaker 1: All right, eight minutes away from the top out of 3282 03:01:29,520 --> 03:01:32,040 Speaker 1: I guess, doctor Tyron Palace, let's go to Brooklyn, New York, 3283 03:01:32,160 --> 03:01:36,280 Speaker 1: or more more approperly, bet Stein, do a diabetical A 3284 03:01:36,560 --> 03:01:39,960 Speaker 1: brother's checking in, he's online.

Uh question Uh Doctor Powells, 3287 03:01:49,480 --> 03:01:54,040 Speaker 25: Uh can you name or anybody listening to the program now? 3288 03:01:55,560 --> 03:01:58,800 Speaker 25: I wanted to find out the name and location of 3289 03:01:59,040 --> 03:02:05,520 Speaker 25: some gun clubs that lawbiding black men and women have 3290 03:02:05,920 --> 03:02:08,520 Speaker 25: going so that we can learn we black men and 3291 03:02:08,600 --> 03:02:13,160 Speaker 25: women lawbiding black men and women can find out how 3292 03:02:13,240 --> 03:02:21,160 Speaker 25: to properly use, maintain weapons and all or range where 3293 03:02:21,200 --> 03:02:26,080 Speaker 25: we can go and learn to properly stoop these weapons. 3294 03:02:26,680 --> 03:02:29,520 Speaker 25: And the second thing is I hear people talking about 3295 03:02:30,920 --> 03:02:34,600 Speaker 25: things and I wanted to say that, doctor Powells, I 3296 03:02:34,760 --> 03:02:36,560 Speaker 25: do not believe, and you can speak to this. I 3297 03:02:36,640 --> 03:02:39,320 Speaker 25: do not believe you are the only brother or sister 3298 03:02:39,920 --> 03:02:45,440 Speaker 25: in these state institutions who are thinking the way you are. 3299 03:02:46,320 --> 03:02:49,600 Speaker 25: Because people think about all they infiltrate us, They infiltrate us, 3300 03:02:49,920 --> 03:02:53,240 Speaker 25: and see that's a one way thinking because see we 3301 03:02:53,560 --> 03:02:58,280 Speaker 25: infiltrate them everything they've got re in it. So to 3302 03:02:58,360 --> 03:03:02,360 Speaker 25: address that, please, Yeah, two things, I agree with you 3303 03:03:02,520 --> 03:03:03,680 Speaker 25: that we need to be everywhere. 3304 03:03:03,879 --> 03:03:07,600 Speaker 7: I think we always talking about the Jewish population they 3305 03:03:07,720 --> 03:03:11,920 Speaker 7: integrate without assimilating. Sometimes we integrate and assimilate at the 3306 03:03:12,000 --> 03:03:14,000 Speaker 7: same time. I think we need to be everywhere because 3307 03:03:14,000 --> 03:03:16,160 Speaker 7: there's information that we can bring back to our community. 3308 03:03:16,240 --> 03:03:18,840 Speaker 7: I can't tell you the number of politicians and others 3309 03:03:18,879 --> 03:03:20,880 Speaker 7: that I've had private meetings from and I said, this 3310 03:03:21,000 --> 03:03:22,520 Speaker 7: is how they're going to come at you, this is 3311 03:03:22,560 --> 03:03:25,080 Speaker 7: what this looks like, this is what's happening now. And 3312 03:03:25,160 --> 03:03:28,120 Speaker 7: they've been able to change there and they can't be 3313 03:03:28,280 --> 03:03:30,480 Speaker 7: public discussions all the time, but they've been able to 3314 03:03:30,600 --> 03:03:33,200 Speaker 7: change their operations in a way that allow them to 3315 03:03:33,240 --> 03:03:36,760 Speaker 7: stay in positions of power which allow them to continue 3316 03:03:36,840 --> 03:03:39,160 Speaker 7: to help our people. So I think there are people 3317 03:03:39,320 --> 03:03:41,840 Speaker 7: doing that. I think that, on the other hand, because 3318 03:03:41,879 --> 03:03:45,120 Speaker 7: our people have been damaged so much by these particular agencies, 3319 03:03:45,160 --> 03:03:47,400 Speaker 7: people like me who do come out and give information 3320 03:03:47,840 --> 03:03:49,640 Speaker 7: have to have thick skin because they're going to be 3321 03:03:49,760 --> 03:03:53,720 Speaker 7: people who accuse you and their accusations. But I will 3322 03:03:53,800 --> 03:03:57,080 Speaker 7: stay over and over again. Just stay on mission. Minister Farrakhon, 3323 03:03:57,440 --> 03:03:59,280 Speaker 7: when I had dinner with him, he said, just stay 3324 03:03:59,280 --> 03:04:02,440 Speaker 7: on mission. I mentioned this before. He said, if God 3325 03:04:02,560 --> 03:04:05,680 Speaker 7: give you a vehicle, a destination, and a mission and 3326 03:04:05,800 --> 03:04:07,880 Speaker 7: a mat get in a car, he said, don't wreck 3327 03:04:07,959 --> 03:04:10,320 Speaker 7: the car trying to kill a gnat. Stay on missions, 3328 03:04:10,320 --> 03:04:13,640 Speaker 7: stay on destination, and eventually you arived there. So I 3329 03:04:13,800 --> 03:04:16,560 Speaker 7: understand the critique and the criticism of me. It doesn't 3330 03:04:16,600 --> 03:04:19,080 Speaker 7: bother me because I have thick skin, because I understand 3331 03:04:19,160 --> 03:04:21,560 Speaker 7: my mission is peer and then my integrity is piers. 3332 03:04:21,640 --> 03:04:25,360 Speaker 7: So I continue to pursue that particular mission. And I 3333 03:04:25,400 --> 03:04:27,320 Speaker 7: think there are other people who are doing this. Sometime 3334 03:04:27,440 --> 03:04:30,600 Speaker 7: in private more so than in public. We're very public people, 3335 03:04:30,680 --> 03:04:33,640 Speaker 7: so we like an audience. We like preaching, we like sermons, 3336 03:04:33,720 --> 03:04:36,840 Speaker 7: we lock sessions, and we like attention. But if you 3337 03:04:37,360 --> 03:04:39,880 Speaker 7: go back to Harry Truman, as much as a racist 3338 03:04:39,879 --> 03:04:42,440 Speaker 7: as he was when he said that, you'd be surprised 3339 03:04:42,480 --> 03:04:44,480 Speaker 7: of how much you can accomplish when you don't care 3340 03:04:44,520 --> 03:04:47,800 Speaker 7: who get the credit. Then I think it can be impactful. 3341 03:04:47,840 --> 03:04:50,039 Speaker 7: And I think there are people who are being impactful. 3342 03:04:50,760 --> 03:04:52,280 Speaker 1: All right, sticks away from the top, right, let me 3343 03:04:52,320 --> 03:04:54,600 Speaker 1: apologize other folks. We didn't get a chance to asking 3344 03:04:54,760 --> 03:04:56,920 Speaker 1: questions with doctor Palace, but I got one question. We 3345 03:04:57,000 --> 03:05:00,560 Speaker 1: got like sixty seconds, sixty seconds to respond onto the 3346 03:05:00,640 --> 03:05:04,160 Speaker 1: tweet two that says will put Patel and BONDI ever 3347 03:05:04,280 --> 03:05:06,880 Speaker 1: released the names of the famous people involved with the 3348 03:05:06,920 --> 03:05:08,440 Speaker 1: pedophiles in the Epstein case. 3349 03:05:08,879 --> 03:05:12,240 Speaker 7: If not, why, I don't think they will ever release it, 3350 03:05:12,320 --> 03:05:15,560 Speaker 7: But I think it'll get released. I think they don't 3351 03:05:15,560 --> 03:05:18,039 Speaker 7: want to well, I don't want to say it too loud, 3352 03:05:18,080 --> 03:05:19,840 Speaker 7: but I think they don't understand how many people they 3353 03:05:19,840 --> 03:05:23,120 Speaker 7: are upsetting. People who have access to that. And during 3354 03:05:23,240 --> 03:05:25,960 Speaker 7: my time in the agency, people who have the ability 3355 03:05:26,080 --> 03:05:28,600 Speaker 7: and have had the ability to download and copies that 3356 03:05:28,640 --> 03:05:31,400 Speaker 7: it will eventually release it, But you. 3357 03:05:31,400 --> 03:05:34,760 Speaker 1: Would think it's out there, somebody's saying it, you know. 3358 03:05:35,320 --> 03:05:38,080 Speaker 7: I think that people are I think people have seen it. 3359 03:05:38,160 --> 03:05:40,000 Speaker 7: I think people are out there. I think people are 3360 03:05:40,040 --> 03:05:42,880 Speaker 7: doing two things, the timeliness of the release, to protect 3361 03:05:42,920 --> 03:05:46,400 Speaker 7: themselves their family. When you're dealing with an administration, it 3362 03:05:46,520 --> 03:05:50,520 Speaker 7: is extremely vindictive and dictatorial, So you have to not 3363 03:05:50,680 --> 03:05:53,680 Speaker 7: only decide that this information is worth releasing to the public, 3364 03:05:53,959 --> 03:05:55,960 Speaker 7: but you have to release it in a way or 3365 03:05:56,000 --> 03:05:58,680 Speaker 7: get it out in a way where you can see 3366 03:05:58,720 --> 03:06:02,200 Speaker 7: the results and that you don't end up not existing anymore, 3367 03:06:02,360 --> 03:06:04,720 Speaker 7: having your family harm during the release. You've got two 3368 03:06:04,840 --> 03:06:09,480 Speaker 7: considerations whenever you deal with releasing that kind of information. 3369 03:06:09,640 --> 03:06:13,640 Speaker 7: And I think that it's proper for people to plan appropriately. 3370 03:06:13,879 --> 03:06:19,680 Speaker 7: And I can say that from a very personal standpoint, right. 3371 03:06:20,080 --> 03:06:21,959 Speaker 1: And of course there's just in the news this week 3372 03:06:22,040 --> 03:06:25,440 Speaker 1: that I think it was a judge. Her house was firebombs. 3373 03:06:25,440 --> 03:06:27,480 Speaker 1: She ruled against Donald Trump, so the MAGA people went 3374 03:06:27,520 --> 03:06:31,320 Speaker 1: after just blew up her home. But anyway, having said that. 3375 03:06:32,879 --> 03:06:35,560 Speaker 7: In security, yes, you do starts in place, and you 3376 03:06:35,680 --> 03:06:37,280 Speaker 7: have to have a group of friends so you don't 3377 03:06:37,320 --> 03:06:40,400 Speaker 7: necessarily announce all the time, but you have to put 3378 03:06:40,480 --> 03:06:43,400 Speaker 7: things in place. That's just good strategy. That's not being paranoid. 3379 03:06:43,520 --> 03:06:46,199 Speaker 7: That's being prepared. And as I always said before, being 3380 03:06:46,280 --> 03:06:48,640 Speaker 7: prepared isn't the same as being paranoid, even though they 3381 03:06:48,680 --> 03:06:51,120 Speaker 7: start for p and being conscious isn't the same as 3382 03:06:51,160 --> 03:06:54,800 Speaker 7: being scared.
