He's also updated as 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: hollist I Love Black People campaign. But first let's get 9 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: Kevin opened the classroom doors this morning, Grand Rising, Kevin. 10 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 2: Grand rising't Carl Nelson. Indeed, my man, It's Monday, the 11 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 2: twelfth of January. 12 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 3: Where does the time go? 13 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 2: I mean twelve years into the I mean twelve days 14 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 2: into the new year of twenty twenty six, and I 15 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 2: guess it's time to refresh. 16 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 3: Our resolutions, you know, just really refreshed. 17 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 2: I don't want to remind people you refresh your resolution. 18 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 3: How you feeling, girl. 19 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: I'm still learning, Kevin, I'm still learning. Man. 20 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 2: Well, that's a sign of a leader, as a leadership 21 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 2: skill to recognize the need to continually observe, absorb, learn, 22 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 2: and then teach, you know, I like to think of reading. 23 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, we were talking about that. 24 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 2: I like reading, and uh, lots of books. I've got 25 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 2: lots of books around, got my own little library that 26 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 2: I continually read, and I also use audio books as 27 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 2: well as reading. So I think that leaders are readers. 28 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know the things. I saw a report that 29 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: most people haven't read a book since high school. 30 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 3: Kevin. 31 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: So you're you're you're in the minority. Most people. You're 32 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: in the minority again, Yeah, but it could be because 33 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: of folks, could be because of the internet or audio books. 34 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: Like you, you know, if you're on a long trip, 35 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: audiobooks are great. But for most people that just don't 36 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: read the books anymore. 37 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, you go, example, you go to the airport. 38 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: They've had great books in the airport and you look 39 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 2: at them, and you know, a lot of people maybe 40 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: get books when they are going to the you know, 41 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: on a flight. But are you saying maybe not as 42 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 2: many black people. You remember their old saying you want 43 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: to hide all of us, You want to hide something 44 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: to put it in a book. 45 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, but but the other folks too, People just don't 46 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: don't read. Right now, reading Tony Browner's new book, he's 47 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,839 Speaker 1: going to be here later this week talk about his book. So, yeah, 48 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: that's a good book to read. Family, you want to 49 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: talk about Tony's journey for the year, journey going to 50 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: going to Egypt. But anyway, I think the internet because 51 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: you can you can figure out you don't you know, 52 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: you can get a summary of the book and you 53 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: felt like you've read the book on the internet, on 54 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: TikTok or any media platforms as well. 55 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 3: But I think that counts. 56 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 2: I think reading the summary of a good book, it 57 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: lets you know whether or not you want to buy 58 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 2: the entire book. You see, so let's get that. Let's 59 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 2: give them points for that, you know, an a for effort, 60 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 2: perhaps a minus even for the effort of reading the summary. 61 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 3: What do you think? 62 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: I agree? Because you know, in school, in college, you know, 63 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: if you've got a big assignment, just read the last 64 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: paragraph of each chapter, because it's summarizes the way people writing, 65 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: styles of American writers, these things. You can read the 66 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: last paragraph or the last chapter of the book as well, 67 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: because it's summarizes. The last paragraph will summarize the entire chapter, 68 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: and the last chapter summarize the entire book. So you know, 69 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: I have to plow through it. You can scheme through it. 70 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: But if you if you really rush for time and 71 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: you got to do a report or something, you can 72 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: do that and that'll probably helps you along the way. 73 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: So education is a key and a real quick tease. 74 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 2: Next week begins with the observation of Martin Luther King 75 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: next week. So one of the things you could do 76 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 2: is educate, you know, be a part of education somehow. 77 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 3: You know. We'll talk about it when it gets closer. 78 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: But we talked about that, and we can't talk about 79 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: stuff too early because our folks, well you know, we 80 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: have a short attention span. Again, it might be the internet, 81 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: but I think it's before you know you've done conscious 82 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: and Sinclairs come on. He's put on events as well. 83 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: Our folks wait till the last minute. You know, we're 84 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: the walk up crowd. You think your stuff might be 85 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: crashing because nobody's buying tickets. I folks wait to the 86 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: last minute. But God, even. 87 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 3: Though the price increases, closer. 88 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: To the price increases, but we're still wait to the 89 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: to the week or the day before. Oh man, I 90 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: heard about that. Let me let me check that out, 91 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: you know. 92 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 3: Right, Because you can save time or you can save money. 93 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 2: That's so that's how it works, and you can you 94 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 2: can sometimes you can buy time by just paying the 95 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:43,559 Speaker 2: higher price. 96 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 3: If you want to go, you then you know you 97 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 3: want to go. 98 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: Hey, look another news, the Jump administration faces outrage over 99 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 2: the Minneaneapolis ice shooting. I'm not sure if that's new 100 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 2: news or not, but uh, the ice protests. 101 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 3: Are gone all over the place. 102 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 2: People aren't protesting, and they say that frictions over these 103 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 2: investigations the emerge because now the FBI is investigating the 104 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 2: ice agents killing of Renee Good, and so the county 105 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 2: attorney Mary Morianti said the initiative last Friday is a 106 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: response to federal authority's decision to exclude state investigators from 107 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 2: the FBI's investigation and do that shooting, and don't you 108 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 2: think they should be investigated in spite of. 109 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 1: What, well, a couple of things. At first, former FBI 110 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: agent doctor Tyrm Poce is going to be with us 111 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: later this morning, so he's gonna he's gonna flesh that 112 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: out for us. Uh, unto you know, they what we saw, 113 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: they tell us what we didn't see. And some people 114 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 1: saying there's a rush to judgment coming from the White 115 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: House and all the elected officials before an investigation before 116 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: it happens. Some people questioning how this dude he's shooting somebody, 117 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: he's got time to take a picture with his with 118 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: his phone on his phone. Is that possible? You're concentrating 119 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: on the same in your life, and you have the 120 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: you have the skill of the thought to get out 121 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: of the phone. I got to record this. Some people 122 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: are thinking that that that was probably Ai who did 123 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: that picture that we saw that they came up with 124 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: right after. So there's a lot of questions that we asked. 125 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: And then on top of that, Kevin, the sheriff in 126 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: Philadelphia is telling the UH is telling the a what 127 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: do you call him? The Ice agents if they come 128 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: into her town, coming to Philly and behave like that, 129 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: she's going to arrest them. So she's now she's on 130 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,559 Speaker 1: the microscope for the White House because she's a sister. 131 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. And then all of that 132 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: title that together, it's just a prelude to martial law 133 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: because if it breaks out, you know what. And again, 134 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: it started in Minneapolis, that's where George Floyd and I 135 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: mentioned this on Friday, this is where George Floyd went 136 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: off and Donald Trumps over said that wouldn't have happened 137 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: if he was in the White House, so he responded differently, 138 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: be a total crackdown. Now we're seeing it's widespread, and 139 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: all it takes is for something else, you know, agent 140 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: provocateur Kevin to get involved in something and then you know, 141 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: you get your martial loss. That's some people think that's 142 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: where we're heading, but I'll let you finish your thought well. 143 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: Portland Mayor Keith Wilson said about the shooting that there 144 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 2: was a time when we could take them at their word, 145 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 2: referring to federal agents, and that time is long past, 146 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 2: he says, and that's why we are calling on ice 147 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 2: to halt all operations in Portland until a full and 148 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 2: independent investigation can take place. And that's what you're talking about, 149 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 2: the fact that now you don't know if they're telling 150 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 2: the truth or if they're changing the narrative to fit 151 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 2: a certain agenda. And it's a really interesting time as 152 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 2: a matter of fact. 153 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, because they're teeing the investigator at the hands of 154 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: the local police, the local people in Minneapolis, and the 155 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: federal government has taken over with the FBI leading leading 156 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: the charge of investigation. So we'll ask the doctor realized 157 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: doctor tynal Powers about that when he comes on right. 158 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 2: Formerly in Technical News, the Chinese executives say China is 159 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 2: unlikely to eclipse the US in the artificial intelligence race 160 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 2: anytime soon because they've got limited resources and the US 161 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 2: chip export curves as key constraints. The terrorists won't let 162 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 2: them buy the chips from the US. What do you 163 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 2: think of that, man? Chinese are probably bluffing and what 164 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 2: they do that, Kevin. They don't invent or do things. 165 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 2: They wait till it's done and then they's just copy 166 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 2: it and there's just changing a little bit and then 167 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 2: and make it a lot cheaper or and much more 168 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: efficient than the original. So I don't buy that with 169 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: China doing that. You know they're just waiting. Okay, you 170 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 2: build it. We'll wait and we'll get the copies and 171 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 2: we'll build a change. It will just tweak it a 172 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 2: little bit, we'll make it a little more more efficient. 173 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: And that's why people talk about Chinese products are so 174 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 2: cheaper because they use they spend less money and they 175 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 2: pay less to manufacture it. So that's what probably happen 176 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 2: that while that they're putting their money and they're concerned 177 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 2: somewhere else right exactly, investing in their own company and 178 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 2: investing in Africa and. 179 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: Things like that, going around the world. 180 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's the way it is. 181 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 2: On this Monday, the twelfth of January, we've got the 182 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,599 Speaker 2: bone vavon the World Traveler since Claire. 183 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 3: Skinner standing by. 184 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: All right, Thanks Kevin, thank you.

We talked 192 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: about because you put on events, do you find and 193 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: this is maybe some psychology behind this, because our folks 194 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: were coming to events. They wait till the last minute, 195 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: the day before or the day of the event, before 196 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: they decide to the one attend. It just matter what 197 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: kind of event it is. And do you find that 198 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: when you put it on programs as well? 199 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 7: You know again, I think the answer is yes. 200 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 8: And the question is how do you you know, how do. 201 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 7: You deal with all that? That's the part. 202 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're attorney for the party, and yet we 203 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 2: can't plan ahead and to get sickest that's not that's 204 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 2: not a norm, fellas, that's some people. 205 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 3: When you're saying, you're just saying across the board principle. 206 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 9: Yeah. 207 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 7: I just think that a lot of times that we 208 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 7: have a lot going on. I think what we don't 209 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 7: speak about is all the things that we normalize, even 210 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 7: with the conversation about ice and protests. You know, I 211 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 7: learned activism in the South. You know, the law enforcement 212 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 7: always lied and there's always a very real chance of 213 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 7: violence and people being disappeared. In the South. It may 214 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 7: not have the same level of attention as a major city, 215 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 7: but when you're organizing in the South and you've got 216 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 7: local you know, law enforcement that can do anything, and 217 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 7: it's hard for them to be held accountable. You know, 218 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 7: when you're organizing, you're taking that into account. You don't, 219 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 7: you know, it may you know, there's risks that are 220 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 7: always involved. But you know, one of the biggest things 221 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 7: that one of my mentors and sisters said to me, 222 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 7: people say what they're willing to die for. But what 223 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 7: are you willing to kill for? I'm not talking about 224 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 7: killing people, because the point she was making, when you're 225 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 7: out there and you have people with you that you're 226 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 7: putting in harm's way and something's about the happening to them, 227 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 7: how far are you going to go to protect that 228 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 7: person that's out there because you organize them, so there's 229 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 7: real consequences. 230 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 4: I don't really hear a lot of that. 231 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 7: Of course, the same government I'm talking about in the 232 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 7: South and the same government in Minneapolis. I'm just saying 233 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 7: when we were dealing with that, there was things that 234 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 7: precautions that we put in place. And I'm sometimes very concerned, 235 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 7: you know, if it's of course, these conservative white supremacists 236 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 7: or even liberal white supremacists who may use black bodies 237 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 7: and and you know, poor people as pawns on the 238 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 7: chessboard that they're battling out instead of actively really organizing 239 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 7: and empowering people, and I see it almost becomes a theater, 240 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 7: you know, and it's very I'm noticing it, and I 241 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 7: still don't have my you know, complete understanding. I think 242 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 7: the last time I was really really engaged about it 243 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 7: was the whole Occupy Wall Street movement, which I thought 244 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 7: was very productive. But I just you know, and people 245 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 7: bring up like the drawers, solos and the different folks 246 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 7: that are funding and support. But when I look at 247 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 7: some of these things, I wonder why some of the 248 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 7: principles that were taught and handed down to me and others. 249 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 7: Where I see these things and it becomes almost like 250 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 7: a you know, it becomes the thing of someone's death, 251 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 7: and you're asking yourself what happened? And of course the 252 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 7: points of the police and the law enforcement are the reasons, 253 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:58,599 Speaker 7: and the question. 254 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 8: Is you know, it's just you know, what's going on though. 255 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 3: You know, and sometimes we forget that. 256 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 2: The other side of the coin of the civil rights 257 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 2: movement was the deacons of defense. You know, they were 258 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 2: willing to carry guns and willing to kill to protect 259 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 2: the civil rights movement. Doctor Martin Luther King especially, wouldn't 260 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 2: you agree? 261 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 7: Yeah, I would agree with that. But you also were 262 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 7: taught techniques. I mean, you know, the snick you know, 263 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 7: it just wasn't bringing a bunch of young people out. 264 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 7: They had to go through real there was a lot 265 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 7: of discipline involved. But even you know, so you know, 266 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 7: the people who taught me. You know, Hank Sanders out 267 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 7: of LaTrece, Rutland, out of Macon County, Alabama. These folks, 268 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 7: you know, were very serious and disciplined about how we 269 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 7: had to approach this because there was real consequences and 270 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 7: we were responsible for people. So I just again, when 271 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 7: I'm looking at this organizer and I'm and I know 272 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 7: the audience or other organizers, we also need to be 273 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 7: mindful that this is not a new thing, and we 274 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 7: in the black community have dealt with this brutality, and 275 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 7: so when it becomes a spectacle, that's what I was 276 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 7: looking When this thing about ice is a spectacle and 277 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 7: they're talking about how they're abusing people, immigrants or not. 278 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 7: You know, our community was the test case. This is 279 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 7: they came and practiced all these things on us well before, 280 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 7: and then when we brought it up, they just said 281 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 7: we were resisting arrest when we talked about police brutality. 282 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 7: So I think in a way, I'm not going to 283 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 7: say that we've we've figured out how to go beyond 284 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 7: and continue to resist, but I will say that you know, 285 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 7: for us, when someone says the police killed somebody, they 286 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 7: didn't do anything, that's not a strange thing that we're 287 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 7: clear that that happened all the time, and that terrorism 288 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 7: and they don't have to do it to everybody just 289 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 7: like terrorism. They just got to do. 290 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 8: It enough where now everyone is. 291 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 7: Impacted and it's terrorized. We also often say police terrorism. 292 00:14:59,280 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 3: So that's going to do. 293 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 2: That's conditioned our people to then arrived tardy for the 294 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 2: party or not buying tickets in advance because uh, you know, 295 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 2: we're a little. 296 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 3: Motivated, so. 297 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 7: We're balancing the butt.

Even the Olympics are going that deep and 341 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: saying they shouldn't come to the United States if they're 342 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 1: going to the World Cup, which is uh this year 343 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: and it's been on the in Mexico, US and Canada. 344 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: Just go to the games in Mexico and Canada by 345 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 1: bypass the US. And we've seen the tourism list has 346 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: dropped quite a bit since Donald Trump took office. But 347 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: Brother Sinclair's back. So Brother Sinclair, overall on your trips, 348 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 1: did you find any any opposition people with people? How 349 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: do people treat you? You know, you know American how 350 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: do people treat you? 351 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 7: And you know, I'll tell you what I think. You 352 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 7: can see the science of growing skepticism. I think even 353 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 7: the Sahel region, you know, Niger and Burkina Fasso. There's 354 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 7: even some recent where they say they weren't allowing us 355 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 7: passports or there's going to be places that because of 356 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 7: the undermining of governments and the mischief that's actually been made, 357 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 7: there's going to be more, you know, scrutiny, and I 358 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 7: think it's actually warranted. You know, even when I travel, 359 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 7: you know, sometimes I see brothers over there that are 360 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 7: working for the military. This whole thing af HERCM, you know, 361 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 7: and the brother who was the general that they even 362 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 7: made a point about when he was trying to criticize 363 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 7: our brother and Burkina Fasso. They're using black you know, 364 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 7: they're using soldiers, black soldiers to again undermine and to 365 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 7: do things that could harm our people on the continent. 366 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 7: And I had someone tell me that when Zimbabwe was 367 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 7: getting their liberation from Rhodesia, which they ultimately got in 368 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 7: nineteen eighty, but throughout the late sixties early seventies, many 369 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:15,479 Speaker 7: said that Henry Kissinger was contemplating having us what they 370 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 7: used to call advisors on the ground, which they ultimately did. 371 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 7: They didn't talk about it, but even bringing soldiers to 372 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 7: fight the communist guerrillas in Rhodesia, which is really a 373 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,719 Speaker 7: euphemism for people trying to stop being oppressed. And so 374 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 7: when we started talking about the military and how it 375 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 7: interplays with the US foreign policy, and of course when 376 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 7: we're talking about enslavement, that's the US foreign policy that 377 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 7: many of us were a part of because we were 378 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 7: you know, those who had that were taken. I think 379 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 7: it's a real issue when you start talking about military 380 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 7: and the use of black faces in these places to 381 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 7: do bad things to our people. So I'm not again, 382 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 7: I'm a Tuskegee alum, Tuskegee Airmen, I'm a pilot. That's 383 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 7: a real thing, and I enjoy it. But some people, 384 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 7: you know, in the nationalist community talk about how they're 385 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 7: used Buffalo soldiers Tuskegee airmen to literally, uh glorify us, 386 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 7: you know, imperialism and black face. So think about it. 387 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: And because she said your dad was. 388 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 4: Your dad, yeah, Vietnam War era, he was over there, listen, 389 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 4: I'm definitely he did it to escape the concher and 390 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 4: projects in Saint Louis and the exploitation of oppressed people 391 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 4: throughout the world for the you know, rich and powerful people, uh, 392 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 4: propagating white supremacy. 393 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 7: I think that's a real thing. I don't know there's 394 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 7: the numbers of the true, but they said disproportionately. It 395 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 7: was you know, West Virginia lost a disapportionment portunate amount 396 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 7: of people in Vietnam, which were many poor whites and 397 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 7: poor blacks that literally lived in you know, the cold 398 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 7: mine towns and all that. So war is fought by 399 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 7: those who can't you know, don't have agencies. So I 400 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 7: think it's definitely true that there's things about patriotism and 401 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 7: masculinity that's attached to violence that doesn't solve problems. So 402 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 7: the answer I think is, yes, I'm a Tueski year 403 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 7: I'm in supportive of that. Being said, I do see 404 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 7: the contradictions like truly I do. 405 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: So so you'd have a problem if if you were 406 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, ski Alum, or if you were back then 407 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: or your dad and you had to drop bonds on 408 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: some folks whore you have, you know, as Muhammad alist 409 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: at the time, I don't even then, None of them 410 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: call me the N word. I don't even know them, 411 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know where Vietnam is. So that 412 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: was his decision. Way I shouldn't go, saf what's in 413 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: it for me? Basically, they haven't done anything to me. 414 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: But a lot of black young men went to Vietnam 415 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,479 Speaker 1: and they were put on the front lines, and we 416 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: suffered more casualties proportionately than anybody else. Do you think 417 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: you if you had that choice to your face, because 418 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: we've had the discussion all last week for quite some time, 419 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: if you were faced with that decision, could you, you know, say, 420 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: I'm a pilot up put on the stars and stripes, 421 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to bomb these people, or because now Donald 422 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: Trump's going into Nigeria, could you do that without a pause, 423 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: or you just go ahead and do it now? I could. 424 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 7: My first thing that I did that defied my father 425 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 7: was I got a full Rock Sea full ROTC scholarship 426 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 7: at Tuskegee for the Air Force, and I didn't take it. 427 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 7: And my dad, my parents and family, I mean, he's 428 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 7: old school. His obligation was to get us out of 429 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 7: high school and then from there you go to the 430 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 7: military and get a job. So they didn't have a 431 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 7: college fund for me. And when I was struggling at 432 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 7: Tuskegee and had an rot opportunity for ROT full ride 433 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 7: and didn't take it, it was a problem. And then 434 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 7: I always had a fondness of level of airplanes. And 435 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 7: I was working at a co op at McDonald Douglass, 436 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 7: and when the first Persian Golf War came out, it 437 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 7: was like something that you know, the whole fact that 438 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 7: I was working with the FA teams and these planes 439 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 7: or weapons of mass destruction. I realized like this, this 440 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,959 Speaker 7: can't be my life. I'm not going to do this. 441 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 7: And even at Tuskeigney during that whole time of the 442 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 7: Persian Golf War, you know, there was folks that you know, 443 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 7: we were involved in with the issue of pasti acient 444 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 7: subjectors was still available in those times, and we don't 445 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 7: talk about it anymore, you know, or if it is, 446 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 7: it's really very much of a religious content text to it, 447 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 7: as you cited Muhammad Ali. But conscientious objectives don't have 448 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 7: to be Muslim. So there was definitely even when the 449 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 7: Persian Golf War first came out, we had students who 450 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 7: had you know, been an ROTC and they were praying 451 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 7: that they would be reserved, many of us trying to 452 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 7: go active duties for benefits. But then when the work 453 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 7: came out, they got real concern like this whole thing 454 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 7: about getting money to go to school, which is something 455 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 7: only probably people who don't have the fund. Going back 456 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 7: to the part about how oppressed people are used for 457 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 7: these agendas. If you have money, you're not going to 458 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 7: subject yourself to have to be in the military to 459 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 7: go to college. You have these other ways. But I 460 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 7: definitely my track record of who I am, I'm I'm 461 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 7: not that. That's not what I'm going to do. So dancwers, No, 462 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 7: I wouldn't participate. 463 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 1: Talk down, uh, brother saint class, I guess they brother. 464 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: It just got back from Europe, Asia and Africa, so 465 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: let's start with your first trip. Let's uh, let's go. 466 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: Let's go to Europe. What was what was it like? 467 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: Did you feel any anti americanism in any of your 468 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: travels because you just got back a few days ago. 469 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 7: Well, yeah, well the European is you know, I noticed, 470 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 7: and I noticed that more and more. You're from the 471 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 7: time we talked to about me going to work with 472 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 7: some of our members in the border of Ukraine and Poland, 473 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 7: helping them leave the initial stages of the invasion of 474 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 7: Russia to now, the European tribalism is real, and I 475 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 7: think it's one of their you know, key factors with 476 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 7: the downfall of the so called Western or European like 477 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 7: their whole piece is not you know, we used to 478 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 7: talk about white supremacist ideology must be destroyed. I don't 479 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 7: think it's going to be destroyed by black people. It's 480 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 7: going to be destroyed by themselves. Like the animals they 481 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 7: have towards each other is problematic, even with the Slavics, 482 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 7: for the dramatic tribe, like I'm talking about it like 483 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 7: in a funny way, but in an abstracted way. But 484 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 7: you know when they you're in London and there's a 485 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 7: European cleaning your toilet, that's not a British person. It's 486 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 7: probably somebody who's Polish or Ukrainian. So even with their 487 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 7: pecking order or their their whole hierarchical way they see themselves, 488 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 7: you know, you know, maybe the Scandinavian you know, dramatic, 489 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 7: and then the Slavic and so called you know, the Latin, 490 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 7: you know, the Iberian Peninsula folks, they have a hierarchy. 491 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 7: That's like again, you know, we were growing up, you know, 492 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 7: my parents said white people they didn't differentiate what their 493 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 7: religions was or were part of Europe. But they know 494 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 7: each other and they kind of deal with it like that. 495 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 7: So I've seen some of that as it relates to 496 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 7: the US. Also in the context of what we're doing 497 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 7: is better than what's being done in the US, or 498 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 7: there's often I'm in the tech space, so did you 499 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 7: know blockchain, bitcoin and these you know, emerging technologies. There's 500 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 7: often they have rivalries about who's doing what, and they 501 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 7: have these rivalries with the pretext of white supremacist purority that. 502 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 8: Doesn't really exist. 503 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 7: Like if you if you're dealing with the Europeans, oftentimes 504 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 7: they really believe Christopher Columbus discovered America. This is the 505 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 7: hard conversation. If you're dealing with people who believe in 506 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 7: Santa Claus and Christopher Columbus and all these other things 507 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 7: whatever else they're talking about, the premise can become a 508 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 7: little off. So while they're having this conversation about the 509 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 7: US and the rivalries and how superior they are, you know, 510 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 7: the Chinese are eating a lunch, you know, they they 511 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 7: some something and I'm using broad strikes strokes And this 512 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 7: is me being in conferences with smart people and you 513 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 7: know average people. Literally, if you operating off operating system 514 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 7: a computer system, that thinks that you're superior, just because 515 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 7: I think sometimes you don't see your laws, you don't 516 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 7: see the potential, you know, to be overtaken by someone 517 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 7: because the world that you put together in your mind 518 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 7: has had you at the top for some reason, and 519 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 7: that top being on top, you never associate that with 520 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 7: violence of any negativity. You think that everything that was 521 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 7: invented was invented by you. So it's just a very distorted, 522 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 7: you know, as opposed to a multi polar world where 523 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 7: every society contribute. It's a unifor polar world that's bound 524 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 7: to failed. And so when I was in Europe, I 525 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 7: realized there's no manufacturing really going on there now. They've 526 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 7: been deindustrializing Germany because they can't get access to cheap 527 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 7: energy from Russia anymore because the sanctions that they put 528 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 7: on them. So you see some of that like change. 529 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 7: And then we're talking about stuff that I do with crypto, 530 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 7: and their context of the economy is not one that's collective. 531 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,239 Speaker 7: They're always trying to figure out how one person can 532 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 7: get all of this as opposed to how the collective 533 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 7: can participate. So even when I started contemplating the fall 534 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 7: of communism in Europe the Berlin Wall in nineteen eighty nine. 535 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 7: I started to realize when I just supposed that when 536 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 7: I see Chinese communism, that maybe it wasn't a failure 537 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 7: of communism, but maybe it was a failure of European 538 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 7: civilization or European worldview. Like maybe if you stick any 539 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 7: system with European folks who are tribal, that they might 540 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 7: make any of it fall apart. But when you see 541 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 7: communism as manifested with some of the free market stuff 542 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 7: they're doing, and in China, it actually seems like it's 543 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 7: quite effective. So I don't know how to, you know, 544 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 7: to put those pieces together. But when I was traveling 545 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 7: from the Europe, I was again, I was in Amsterdam, 546 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 7: Madrid and listening, you know, those were some of the 547 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 7: things that I kind of like gleaned from the tribalism 548 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 7: and the physical superiority. And of course when I go 549 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 7: to Europe, I'm literally always looking for the black communities 550 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 7: as a part of what we're doing with I love 551 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 7: black people, so, you know, so very you know, Livement 552 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 7: was in particular had you know, quite a few brothers 553 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 7: and sisters from Angola, Mozambique, Capo Verdi and you know, 554 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 7: got a chance to kind of vibe with them, and 555 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 7: many of them, you know, were Therefore I was, and 556 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 7: when I travel off into Europe, I don't don't. I 557 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 7: don't do tour tourism in Europe. You know, these are conferences, 558 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 7: tech conferences and things like that that I attend. So 559 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 7: it literally was a great opportunity to be brothers and 560 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 7: sisters too, who who who? Because of what was done 561 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 7: to their country, it was easier for them to get 562 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 7: visas in Portugal and engage them, So it was you know, yeah, 563 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 7: So definitely my European experience is you know, typical being 564 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 7: around Europeans, I think, yeah. 565 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: Twenty five away from the top of Ala Bella sinkles, 566 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: can you mentioned Portugal, the Iberian Peninsula and later this 567 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: week investigative reporter Greg Palace he's in Portugal as we speak. 568 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,959 Speaker 1: He's going to join us. He was and his role 569 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: as a BBC investigative report investigated the Maduro and who 570 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: goes shot and she's going to share some of those 571 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: stories around our family to make sure to keep unless 572 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: this is going to be real powerful. Twenty five away 573 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: from the top, brother, simply my question to you in 574 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: all your travels, do they treat you differently as an 575 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: an African American, a Black American, as opposed to the 576 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: brother and sisters from the continent. 577 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 10: I think in. 578 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 7: Some places until I open my mouth, they do. But 579 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 7: once I open my mouth, they hear my American accent, 580 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 7: and there's a certain privilege in the American accent does give, 581 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 7: so they hear the American accent. Because even in China, 582 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 7: they prefer Americans, especially probably Black American English, to any 583 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 7: other English when you're speaking to the rank, your file, 584 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 7: everyday person. Of course, in the business, you know in 585 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 7: China they like to speak Mandarin even if they speak English. 586 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 7: They not they see themselves as centered. So you're in 587 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 7: their country and you can be trying to pick up 588 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 7: garbage in their country. They still maintain China Chinese or 589 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 7: Mandarin is the business protocol language, even if they speak English. 590 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 7: So and some people say that's the way you protect 591 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 7: your culture. Like in the African countries, we speak to 592 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 7: colonizers language and not our local language as business language. 593 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 7: So that gives access to business and politics and everything 594 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 7: else from foreigners. But if you make a barrier between 595 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 7: these outside people and their ability to do things domestically 596 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 7: with language. It makes them either have to learn that 597 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 7: language or they have to get someone that's local to 598 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 7: that to help them navigate business. So it's a very 599 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 7: interesting context in Africa that say it's hard to do 600 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 7: business and they're speaking in English talking about their norms 601 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 7: and not the norms of the local indigenous people. And 602 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 7: I think as far as the development and changes that 603 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 7: we've gone through on the continent, this is one area 604 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 7: that still leads us easily exposed to exploitation because again, 605 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 7: you don't have to have any knowledge of local languages 606 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 7: to participate at the highest levels of business in Africa. 607 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 7: In China, this is not possible. 608 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: All right, hold up the right there. We got to 609 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: check the news trafficking web in at different cities when 610 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: we come back. Tell us about China. Your trip to China, 611 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: what was that like? Many of us don't get a 612 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: chance to go to China and deal with the Chinese. 613 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: But even though you deal with him on a professional level, 614 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: let us know how that worked out. Family YouTube can 615 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: get in on this conversation with our guest, the brother 616 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: Saint Clair Skinner reach out to us at eight hundred 617 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: four five zero seventy eight seventy six, and we'll take 618 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: a phone calls after we check the latest news trafficking web. 619 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: That's next and Grand Rising family, thanks for starting your 620 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: week with us.

So we're supporting a solar 656 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 7: company from a female founder out of Zimbabwe and one 657 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 7: of the biggest manufacturers of solar panels, inverters and batteries 658 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 7: is China. So there's an event called the Canton Fair 659 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 7: and it's huge. There's a thing called the Consumer Electronics 660 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 7: that just happened last week in Vegas and I normally 661 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 7: go and it's that three day conference talking about the 662 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 7: latest and greatest that's happening and electronics and you know, technology. 663 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,399 Speaker 7: But the Chinese have to think called the Canton Pair. 664 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 7: That's similar, but it's not three days, it's three weeks long, 665 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 7: and it's really extensive, Like there's no you can't even 666 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 7: compare what I've attended in Vegas with what I've seen 667 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 7: in China. So the focus of the work that I 668 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 7: was doing there was centered around the obtaining some of 669 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 7: the best and latest project i mean solar projects. So 670 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 7: one of the big things is censors. There's a whole 671 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 7: bunch of things that make what they're doing they're pretty interesting, 672 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 7: where you can basically remotely control how the solar panels 673 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 7: are being used in the batteries so that you can 674 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 7: kind of better manage the grid, the system, what have you. 675 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 7: And the Chinese again have the He's the greatest who 676 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 7: was in Gung Joe, which is where the Canton Fair was. 677 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 7: It was a place called sins In, which is like 678 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 7: they say, it was like their Silicon Valley. And there 679 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 7: these are very modern city, like these cities are bananas. 680 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 7: And then there was also uh hu Nan where they 681 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:24,359 Speaker 7: actually had the Oca golf was playing tennis and uh 682 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 7: it's like a you know again, another city, different size. 683 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 7: But what I learned one of the things I realized 684 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 7: about communism contextually, the person who was sweeping the floor 685 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 7: seemed to be as just as excited to be there 686 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 7: as a person behind the desk as the person who's 687 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 7: in charge, the person who's driving the taxis like it 688 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:49,799 Speaker 7: seems again there was no real tipping, Like people saw 689 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 7: their role in the country as like a part of 690 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 7: a team. It seemed again I'm talking about outwardly. Now 691 00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:00,400 Speaker 7: we've dealt with issues, uh with Chinese said on the 692 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 7: continent of Africa with xenophobia, and even during COVID we 693 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 7: had issues where African nationals who were in China were 694 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 7: being treated differently than local Chinese folks. But as it 695 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 7: relates to what I saw this recent trip, it literally 696 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 7: has to be one of the safest places and all 697 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 7: those cities had to be. It was just so like 698 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,320 Speaker 7: three o'clock in the morning. And I'm not saying it 699 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 7: was up at three o'clock, but I'm just saying like 700 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 7: it was literally safe at all times of the day, 701 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 7: you know, just the way it's very organized. Again, you're 702 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 7: talking about a billion, four people. 703 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:41,280 Speaker 1: The movement. 704 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 7: I was able to be on one of those still 705 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 7: super fast trains and all those things. It was literally 706 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 7: very efficient to move around in the country. It was again, 707 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,760 Speaker 7: so I would say when I compare that to like Europe, 708 00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 7: there's no comparison, Like the Chinese have won. They're just 709 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 7: waiting this out. They know that the US and whatnot 710 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 7: have nuclear weapons. They don't want to cause any unnecessary hiccups. 711 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 7: But the Chinese approach is and I will say, the 712 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 7: Chinese I've met and I do business. I've been doing 713 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 7: business with the Chinese partner. One of the projects I 714 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 7: worked on back and I will say twenty twelve was 715 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 7: important motorcycles and the scooters to the Caribbean to the 716 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 7: Dominican Republic. And that's by first So even my context 717 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 7: of being in China, I have some pre existing relationships 718 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 7: which has been very helpful and even when we were 719 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,839 Speaker 7: talking about their free market they said they think about 720 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 7: their free marketing, said, they don't mind capitalism. People doing 721 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 7: their things, they're doing contentually as long as it's never 722 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 7: more powerful than the central the Communist Party. Like so 723 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 7: the CCP, the Communists Central Party, the Communist Chinese Communist 724 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,920 Speaker 7: Party is the first and last word. And the context 725 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 7: that I was just you know, disgusting. They were saying, again, 726 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 7: no matter what economic interest, it's always has to be 727 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,360 Speaker 7: about the interests of the collective, not some individual company. 728 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 7: So no individual company is more powerful than the party. 729 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,879 Speaker 7: And the point they made to me about that was like, well, 730 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 7: there's someone controlling America, but you don't know who it is. 731 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 7: At least in China we know who controlled. We're not 732 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 7: confused because things like going into Venezuela. You know what 733 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 7: American democracy is asking to go kill people in Venezuela. 734 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,399 Speaker 7: It's not the people. There's somebody that we don't even 735 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 7: know their name that's behind probably why the government is 736 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 7: doing genocide or any of these other things. So it 737 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 7: was very interesting. I didn't think about that because people 738 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 7: always talk about, oh, it's controlled by this central party, 739 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 7: but all governments are controlled and the the you know 740 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,840 Speaker 7: illusion that then controlled every four years by voters. I 741 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 7: mean we got to like, you know, we might have 742 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 7: to re look at that and see is that really true? 743 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 7: And we want it to be true, but is that 744 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 7: actually how it actually works? And if it's not how 745 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 7: it works, let's not like keep living the fiction. Let's 746 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,919 Speaker 7: like deal with the reality. So that was interesting to China. 747 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 1: Park all right, hold on, though they're not away from 748 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 1: the topic. Let me ask you this though. Did you 749 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,399 Speaker 1: get the feeling that Chinese they played the long game. 750 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 1: They havent the patience. They know what they you know, 751 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: they know what they hand their cards, they're in their hands, 752 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,839 Speaker 1: and I just playing it out and just wait, waiting 753 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: to the US to implode. 754 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 7: Well, yeah, but I think, you know, we talk about 755 00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 7: you know, Chinese have been Chinese for five thousand years. 756 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,919 Speaker 7: And then another thing I found out is China really 757 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,799 Speaker 7: is not one country. Like if you go to different provinces, 758 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:53,280 Speaker 7: they speak different dialects. But but Mandarin is their collective language. 759 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 7: And you know, the person that lives near staying Hi 760 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 7: or near the coast, and the person lives near Tibet 761 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 7: and the mountains, aren't they don't have, They don't eat 762 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 7: the same food, they don't have the same customs. They 763 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,280 Speaker 7: actually are really different people. But because of the fact 764 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 7: that it's one country, all their systems and infrastructure and education, 765 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,839 Speaker 7: all those things allow them to connect in a way 766 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 7: that's very powerful and efficient. You know, as much as 767 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 7: we say Africa is you know, fifty four countries. You know, 768 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 7: if you look at some of the sizes of the 769 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,279 Speaker 7: countries and the way that's cut, you know it was 770 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 7: cut by It wasn't devised by African people. It was 771 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 7: devised by Europeans, and we left those countries in place, 772 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,880 Speaker 7: even though they don't make life effective and efficient. It's actually, 773 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 7: you know, some countries are so small that it's hard 774 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 7: to justify or hard to efficiently create systems. It would 775 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,440 Speaker 7: be better if we had a railroad system that pulled 776 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,720 Speaker 7: everybody together. And of course we have trading blocks in Africa, 777 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,040 Speaker 7: but that's not the same as having one country and 778 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 7: you have one law, you know, one sub of laws, 779 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,319 Speaker 7: and you're now planning for the next one hundred years, 780 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 7: fifty years, twenty years of how you're going to make 781 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 7: the education system work, how you're going to make the 782 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 7: transportation system work. These are That type of planning at 783 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 7: scale is much easier when you're dealing with one country 784 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,800 Speaker 7: as opposed to fifty some countries. So it's it was 785 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 7: definitely an interesting conversation as far as how they engaged 786 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 7: and treated you know, each other, let alone treated me. 787 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting because you travel a lot, so you 788 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 1: know that you know, you know what to expect and 789 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 1: how people treat you differently. You know, some of us 790 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 1: travel don't travel as frequently as you do, so you 791 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 1: know our experiences are sort of different because you know 792 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 1: what to expect and you know where they're coming from. 793 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: And I just mentioned some of these African countries like 794 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 1: like Benin and Togo, they just they're just so small. 795 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 1: They're probably small in DC, but there in their own 796 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,240 Speaker 1: energies they're solving nations, so they have to be respected. 797 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 1: But again you pointed out that the Europeans are the 798 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,480 Speaker 1: ones who carved up Africas and left with them that 799 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,360 Speaker 1: there's still in many of the vestiges of the colonial ideas, 800 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 1: especially the colonial languages that they have. Do you ever 801 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 1: see that changing though? Do you ever see Africa coming 802 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 1: with one language where it would be Kiswaili or something else, 803 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 1: or do you think that they're so ready to their 804 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 1: dialects or if you will, because they won't call it 805 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 1: a language. Many of them to say that they don't, 806 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 1: you know, they don't claim any of the colonizes language. 807 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 1: They stick to their dialects. So and I think South 808 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 1: Africa is more than two hundred, Nigeria the same, more 809 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,799 Speaker 1: than two hundred. Do you ever see that changing though 810 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:42,000 Speaker 1: from your travels? 811 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 7: Well, I think the fact that you know we're doing 812 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:49,840 Speaker 7: a campaign, but I love black people on the continent 813 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 7: called tribal diversity is our power and looking at the 814 00:44:55,840 --> 00:45:00,400 Speaker 7: diverse tribal you know, relationships, not in the tribal like 815 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 7: tribalism type of anti negative thing, but actually celebrating the 816 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 7: differences and how we can, how we continue and should improve, 817 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,800 Speaker 7: how we work together. So I think the truth is 818 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 7: that we are different, and when I say different, we 819 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,760 Speaker 7: do have different cultures, but we have a common interest. 820 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,360 Speaker 7: In book, people watched and talked about the five fingers 821 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,719 Speaker 7: of the hand and how we may be different, but 822 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 7: we can work together. I think in many ways, no 823 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:32,839 Speaker 7: matter what borders there are, we can work together collectively. 824 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,359 Speaker 7: And I think the common interest part is the part 825 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 7: that I think we leverage. We leverage through the Pan 826 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 7: African ideology. Everybody on the continent is not a Pan African, 827 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 7: is fair enough. But those who are, no matter where 828 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,800 Speaker 7: they are, are able to come together and work together. 829 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,719 Speaker 7: And to me, that's a starting place. I think as 830 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 7: it relates to what's going to happen to us as 831 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,920 Speaker 7: African people, I think we were the first, and we're 832 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,960 Speaker 7: going to be the last. I think we're the first 833 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 7: civilized people on the planet and we're going to be 834 00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:10,040 Speaker 7: the last. I think what's going to happen. I think Europe, 835 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 7: that whole Europe or Western European context, I think that's 836 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 7: what's going to implode. I think we're going to like 837 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,759 Speaker 7: even like again, we talked about dealing with law enforcement, ice, 838 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,800 Speaker 7: and what we've dealt with for you know, literally centuries 839 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:31,200 Speaker 7: in the United States is that we've been able to resist, adopt, 840 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 7: adapt you know, we've been able to go through these 841 00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,520 Speaker 7: changes and still be here and not just be here, 842 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:43,120 Speaker 7: but still in many ways have some an amazing supernatural 843 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 7: joy that other people in the world may not always have. 844 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 7: So I just think, in a real sense, we're going 845 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:53,640 Speaker 7: to make it through this rising fall like the rise 846 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,000 Speaker 7: and fall of the Soviet Union, the rise and fall 847 00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 7: of the Ottoman Empire, like we've seen, you know, empires 848 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 7: rise and fall even within the last hundred years. To 849 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 7: think that the US and Europe as we know it 850 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:13,040 Speaker 7: now is going to exist forever, I think it's that's 851 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,920 Speaker 7: the US unlikely to have. I think it's more unsustainable 852 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,600 Speaker 7: to have a world based on violence and lights of 853 00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,719 Speaker 7: terms ideology. I think that's unsustainable. So I think in 854 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,239 Speaker 7: many ways what we've created in Africa where we've in 855 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,200 Speaker 7: more instances than not have welcomed strangers. 856 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,759 Speaker 1: Again right there, Brother Saint Clair, were gotta step asid 857 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,600 Speaker 1: and get caught up with our ladies trafficking.

Also always often hear tribalism as 882 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,440 Speaker 11: a weakness, and you present it as a strength, and 883 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:54,120 Speaker 11: I love it, and it reminds me of the doctor 884 00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,799 Speaker 11: Kringa is saying that we have to have unity without uniformity. 885 00:48:58,840 --> 00:48:59,239 Speaker 7: All right. 886 00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,919 Speaker 11: Uh, when I hear you say the Chinese communists using 887 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:09,240 Speaker 11: the term communist, do you think I think that limits 888 00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:13,480 Speaker 11: our conversation because when I think about the Russian communist 889 00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,279 Speaker 11: expression of communism, is that the same do you think 890 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,719 Speaker 11: or similar? Or is there something different about that than 891 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:25,719 Speaker 11: the Chinese expression of communism. I just want to say 892 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,719 Speaker 11: thank you once again for sharing your travels with us. 893 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 11: It makes us feel like we're uh not stuck in 894 00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:32,280 Speaker 11: this place. 895 00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:32,799 Speaker 10: Uh. 896 00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,560 Speaker 11: And I think that we are a global African people. 897 00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:40,400 Speaker 11: Beyond African pan Africanism, we are global African people. So 898 00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:42,720 Speaker 11: I just want to say once again, thank you, Sarah. 899 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:43,400 Speaker 11: I appreciate you. 900 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 7: I appreciate you. 901 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:45,560 Speaker 3: Thank you. 902 00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,839 Speaker 7: I think now communism and then you can say about 903 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,440 Speaker 7: Stalin or trouts key at these different And I'm not 904 00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 7: a communist guru, I would say I think the culture. 905 00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:00,600 Speaker 7: European culture is problematic as it relates to being in 906 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:04,279 Speaker 7: harmony and working collectively. I think I saw and have 907 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,800 Speaker 7: seen with Asian culture the ability to work to collectively 908 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,879 Speaker 7: is different. But I will say this out loud. If 909 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:15,800 Speaker 7: you think about the Bolshevik Revolution in nineteen seventeen, Russia 910 00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:20,520 Speaker 7: was a bunch of poor, illiterate backward people that was 911 00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,480 Speaker 7: like potato farmers, and they had a tzar. They had 912 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,440 Speaker 7: a king or whatever before that. If you look at 913 00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 7: the development of the Soviet Union of Russia from nineteen 914 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:38,440 Speaker 7: seventeen to nineteen sixty putting a satellite into outer space, 915 00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:42,319 Speaker 7: it's definitely compelling to say, whatever they did, and let's 916 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:45,120 Speaker 7: call it forty years because this is round up nineteen 917 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,319 Speaker 7: seventeen to nineteen twenty, and then say nineteen sixty. That's 918 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 7: and then they had a war where they lost a 919 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 7: huge population. You know, they always talk about the United 920 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,800 Speaker 7: States and the ally powers being mostly you know, England, 921 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,839 Speaker 7: but England had been by France, had been taken over 922 00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,239 Speaker 7: by Germany, so French weren't doing that much. It was 923 00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:08,279 Speaker 7: really the Russians that brow the brunt of the war. 924 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,000 Speaker 7: In spite of that loss of population and what have you, 925 00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,600 Speaker 7: they went from nineteen twenty to nineteen sixty to put 926 00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:20,000 Speaker 7: a sputnik, and that came through a context of communism. Again, 927 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,759 Speaker 7: all these isms are old, so I mean, I say 928 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,759 Speaker 7: old are a few hundred years old. We should be 929 00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,360 Speaker 7: able to come up with something that surpasses that. I 930 00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:32,200 Speaker 7: think even when we talk about brother Julius Nerri out 931 00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:36,560 Speaker 7: of Tanzania, he had Oujama and it was a tie 932 00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,680 Speaker 7: into the collectiveness that we had. So I don't to 933 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:41,839 Speaker 7: your point. I think I agree with you when you say, 934 00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:43,960 Speaker 7: you know, the word communist, it can actually cut off 935 00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:47,239 Speaker 7: the rest of what people are listening to. But to 936 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:51,239 Speaker 7: have a culture where you're trying to make sure that 937 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:55,120 Speaker 7: the resources of the people are there for the collective 938 00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:59,120 Speaker 7: of the people and not maximizing it for an individual 939 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:03,200 Speaker 7: person that could acquire and hoard it, I think it 940 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:06,879 Speaker 7: makes sense if you're trying to like go from zero 941 00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,839 Speaker 7: to one hundred to raise the floor. And I think 942 00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:14,600 Speaker 7: back then the Civil Union raised their floor in China, 943 00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:18,840 Speaker 7: they had the same problem after being devastated. You know, 944 00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,840 Speaker 7: we were talking about opium wars in the nineteen hundreds, 945 00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:25,920 Speaker 7: We talked about what happened with the Boxer rebellion in China, 946 00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:30,120 Speaker 7: the things that were debilitating the China, and then how 947 00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,760 Speaker 7: they were able to gather that from like nineteen forty 948 00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:38,760 Speaker 7: nine to the seventies when Mao died. They talk about 949 00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 7: how their literatory rate went from like twenty percent to 950 00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:47,040 Speaker 7: like seventy five percent by the mid seventies, and that 951 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,640 Speaker 7: was through a communist revolution. So again, I don't know 952 00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:52,680 Speaker 7: when you say communists to your point. It doesn't make 953 00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,359 Speaker 7: people start saying, well, oh wait, because there's so much 954 00:52:55,560 --> 00:53:00,560 Speaker 7: attached to that. But I think the Chinese this is 955 00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:04,520 Speaker 7: something about Japan. And I've been to Nakasaki and Hiroshima 956 00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:08,320 Speaker 7: because of what the United States did with these nuclear bombs, 957 00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:11,960 Speaker 7: Tyler bombs would call them. But I didn't know there 958 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:17,160 Speaker 7: was a group of Japanese leaders that went to the 959 00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:22,080 Speaker 7: United States as a delegation to see what the US 960 00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,959 Speaker 7: was doing in like the late eighteen hundreds, like after 961 00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,759 Speaker 7: the end of war of Civil War sixty five, right 962 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,720 Speaker 7: so around like eighteen eighties. They went through the United 963 00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:38,239 Speaker 7: States and they were investigating US and peralism and the 964 00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,839 Speaker 7: treatment they and the things they were doing. They also 965 00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:44,120 Speaker 7: went through Europe and they went back to Japan and 966 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:48,640 Speaker 7: they implemented some of the worst of the policies that 967 00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:50,680 Speaker 7: the US had taught them because they said they weren't 968 00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:53,879 Speaker 7: going to be victims of it. And there's a Japanese 969 00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:59,200 Speaker 7: imperalism that rivals in the US and we don't often 970 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 7: talk about. You know, it was well before Pearl Harbor 971 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,560 Speaker 7: that there were issues between the Japanese and the United States, 972 00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,520 Speaker 7: And of course Pearl Harbor being Hawaii, which was in 973 00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,040 Speaker 7: the state at the time. What was the US doing 974 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,000 Speaker 7: that far if you ever looked at it been in Hawaii, 975 00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,279 Speaker 7: it's far away from the United States. It's over like, 976 00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,680 Speaker 7: what does this have to do with anything? But my 977 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,080 Speaker 7: point is I think there's a real, you know, interesting 978 00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:26,400 Speaker 7: interaction between China and even Japan today that's based on 979 00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:30,719 Speaker 7: the legacy that Japan tried to and did effectively colonize 980 00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:36,560 Speaker 7: parts of China and they're now you know, after the 981 00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,120 Speaker 7: end of World War Two, Japan didn't have a standing 982 00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:44,080 Speaker 7: army anymore, and now there's some friction going on with 983 00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:48,920 Speaker 7: Japan and China that I think is I'm mostly distracting 984 00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,320 Speaker 7: because that's kind of terminalizing, but also has you know, 985 00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:58,000 Speaker 7: connotation because even though Japan rose, you know, people used 986 00:54:58,040 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 7: to make fun of Japan, say, oh, that looked like 987 00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,720 Speaker 7: it was in Japan. By the nineties, you know, Japanese 988 00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:06,560 Speaker 7: products had taken over. But now even the things that 989 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:10,040 Speaker 7: I've worked in with the motorcycles and scooters, Yamaha, most 990 00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:14,719 Speaker 7: of the major brands in the in Japan offshore their work, 991 00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,239 Speaker 7: you know, almost like a NAFTA where they moved stuck 992 00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:20,920 Speaker 7: to Mexico, Japan moved things to China that it was 993 00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:25,240 Speaker 7: cheaper to manufacture, and now you know the biggest rival 994 00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,080 Speaker 7: you know, of course it is China, and they in 995 00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,840 Speaker 7: many ways surpassed even Japan. I think there's you know, 996 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,520 Speaker 7: those are some of the nuances of conversation that you know, 997 00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:39,719 Speaker 7: when I say Europe versus China, there are some like nuances. 998 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,200 Speaker 7: You know, is where does that lead Japan? How that's 999 00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 7: going to impact the relationship with Taiwan. And I think 1000 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,600 Speaker 7: all that stuff isn't anyway, It's interesting, But to your point, 1001 00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,960 Speaker 7: I think when you say communism, it just cuts off 1002 00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:52,640 Speaker 7: the conversation. 1003 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,480 Speaker 1: And I agree with you, all right, are you talking 1004 00:55:56,480 --> 00:56:01,680 Speaker 1: about rival? Is different? Is between China and Japan. One 1005 00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,080 Speaker 1: that on the continent that's not really being talked about 1006 00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:08,000 Speaker 1: only in that era Zimbabwe and South Africa. Some people 1007 00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:12,280 Speaker 1: say xenophobic, and it's it's gotten pretty pretty pretty intense 1008 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:15,560 Speaker 1: in the last few few months between the Zimbabweans pouring 1009 00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:20,120 Speaker 1: into South Africa, you know the term year terminology legal aliens, 1010 00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:23,399 Speaker 1: and not just Zimbabweans but Nigerians as well. The people 1011 00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,080 Speaker 1: going into South Africa to South African. South Africans are 1012 00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,600 Speaker 1: now I'm pushing back on that all kinds of different 1013 00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,040 Speaker 1: things are happening in South Africa. Are you hearing these 1014 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,600 Speaker 1: stories when you go to Zimbabwe or South Africa, brother 1015 00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:35,640 Speaker 1: Saint Clair, Yeah, I mean I. 1016 00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:41,000 Speaker 7: Think that's been ever since I'd say two thousand. The 1017 00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:48,960 Speaker 7: sanctions is what really debilitated this when the Honorable Robert 1018 00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:57,440 Speaker 7: Gabareell Mugabi refused to send soldiers in to stop the 1019 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:04,120 Speaker 7: veterans from taking over the land that had been stolen 1020 00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:09,680 Speaker 7: from them by the Rhodesians. When he refused, I mean, 1021 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,000 Speaker 7: up until that point, you know, he was actually knight 1022 00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:15,520 Speaker 7: Rob mcgoby had been knighted by the Queen of England. 1023 00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:21,720 Speaker 7: But when he refused to submit to sending in soldiers 1024 00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:26,400 Speaker 7: to remove those veterans, he had marked hisself with somebody 1025 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:30,080 Speaker 7: who wasn't going to allow himself to be used to 1026 00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 7: harmless people, and they then made him a pariah. They 1027 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,920 Speaker 7: actually started attacking them. And I really liked some of 1028 00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,400 Speaker 7: this Hugo child as in this Hemis and this you 1029 00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:46,280 Speaker 7: know so called Western Hemisphere where you see Venezuela take 1030 00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:52,440 Speaker 7: over their oil nationalized for the people and now Hugo 1031 00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:56,200 Speaker 7: child as is you know, you know, public enemy number 1032 00:57:56,240 --> 00:58:00,120 Speaker 7: one to the United States and all the sanctions and 1033 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:05,919 Speaker 7: sabotage and economic espionage that they have gone through. South 1034 00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:09,400 Speaker 7: Zimbabwe has gone through it for over twenty five years, 1035 00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:14,600 Speaker 7: and Venezuela's maybe ten or fifteen years. And there's no 1036 00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:19,400 Speaker 7: country under uscension. This is we call it the violence 1037 00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,760 Speaker 7: of using the dollars for violence. There's no country on 1038 00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:26,320 Speaker 7: the US sensions for any length of time that has 1039 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:30,480 Speaker 7: an economy that's flourishing. Now, even if economy as large 1040 00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:33,760 Speaker 7: as the Russia has said that they'd like to have 1041 00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,960 Speaker 7: sanctions lifted because of these issues, and they have a 1042 00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:42,400 Speaker 7: huge economy. Countries like Venezuela, they have ports which allow 1043 00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:46,200 Speaker 7: them to trade easier than Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe's landlocked as a 1044 00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:49,760 Speaker 7: small population of fifteen million people, and when you have 1045 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:53,040 Speaker 7: put them on the sanctions, it's, you know, it's it's 1046 00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:58,360 Speaker 7: meant to cause, you know, uprisings that destabilize the government. 1047 00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:02,320 Speaker 7: And what's happened is because of these sanctions. Because let 1048 00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,400 Speaker 7: me just say this, because prior to the sanctions, Zimbabwe 1049 00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:10,800 Speaker 7: was thriving. After the sanctions, people from the Zimbabwe could 1050 00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:15,200 Speaker 7: no longer have the same economic opportunities, so they went 1051 00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,720 Speaker 7: to South Africa. And as you know, South Africa did 1052 00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,600 Speaker 7: not have a violent excuse, did not have a war 1053 00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:26,360 Speaker 7: of independence. Again, Zimbabwe had war independence, mozam Big had 1054 00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,840 Speaker 7: a war and independence. The Liby had a war. There's 1055 00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:31,840 Speaker 7: a difference when you have these wars. So what happened 1056 00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:35,320 Speaker 7: in South Africa. The Europeans were able to maintain control 1057 00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:39,920 Speaker 7: over all the infrastructure, so they literally and even in 1058 00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:43,640 Speaker 7: spite of all these things, Zimbabwe has had the highest 1059 00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:48,280 Speaker 7: level of literacy than all the African countries, even Nigeria. 1060 00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:52,760 Speaker 7: So literally when the sanctions hit, it hit their economy. 1061 00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,120 Speaker 7: Zimbabwe was still very safe when the Savis countries, not 1062 00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:57,439 Speaker 7: the saviors live seen in China. 1063 00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:58,840 Speaker 8: But this darn safe. 1064 00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:04,400 Speaker 7: And what happens is that people flee Zimbabwe to South 1065 01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:07,720 Speaker 7: Africa for job opportunities. They don't flee because they're being 1066 01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:12,640 Speaker 7: oppressed from the government. They flee because there's no job opportunities. 1067 01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,480 Speaker 7: And I know in America and the United States, when 1068 01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:18,800 Speaker 7: we think of job opportunities, we think of the private sector. 1069 01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,720 Speaker 7: When we think of safety, we think of the public sector. 1070 01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:25,040 Speaker 7: But but you're here in Africa, they'll blame the government 1071 01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:29,200 Speaker 7: for no jobs. Well, the government has jobs being. There's 1072 01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:31,880 Speaker 7: a function of being a government employee. But as far 1073 01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,760 Speaker 7: as the economy, when you're a country of that size, 1074 01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:38,120 Speaker 7: you're really leveraging the private Excuse me, the private sector 1075 01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:40,840 Speaker 7: is really a part of a global economy. And if 1076 01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:44,560 Speaker 7: that global economy has told the world that you're sanctioned 1077 01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:48,120 Speaker 7: and if you do business with them, you'll be heavily fined, 1078 01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:52,400 Speaker 7: and all these other punitive things happen, well, now there 1079 01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:54,960 Speaker 7: is going to be tough for people to get jobs. 1080 01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,200 Speaker 7: And if the next door country is a country like 1081 01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:01,920 Speaker 7: South Africa that the year Peans still control their economy, 1082 01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:05,840 Speaker 7: they actually can get jobs, just like you hear about 1083 01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,200 Speaker 7: here in the United States Mexico versus the United States. 1084 01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:17,960 Speaker 7: The United States destroyed Venezuela, destroyed El Salvador and undermine Mexico. 1085 01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,720 Speaker 7: That means what people are going to flee to a 1086 01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,360 Speaker 7: place where they can get better jobs. There's not one 1087 01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:27,520 Speaker 7: person in Zimbabwe or any place that dreams of one 1088 01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:31,120 Speaker 7: day going somewhere to cut people's lawns and cleaning toilets. 1089 01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:33,600 Speaker 7: So you can't tell me that there's a lesser people 1090 01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:36,920 Speaker 7: that has dreams of one day cleaning toilet bowls. In America, 1091 01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,120 Speaker 7: what happens is what we know is because of the 1092 01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:42,880 Speaker 7: suppression these people who are going to these places for 1093 01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:46,080 Speaker 7: opportunities so they can send money back to help their families. 1094 01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,640 Speaker 7: No one just gives up their birthright to the land 1095 01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:52,640 Speaker 7: as indigenous people because they want to do toilet bowl cleaning. 1096 01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:56,040 Speaker 7: It's because somebody has done something to exploit and destroy them. 1097 01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,880 Speaker 7: Zimbabwe has been under that same thing, but have never surrendered. 1098 01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:02,480 Speaker 7: And this is what it looks like. You know, Iran 1099 01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:04,120 Speaker 7: is going through the same issues. 1100 01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:04,720 Speaker 3: You see the. 1101 01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:07,120 Speaker 7: Protests. 1102 01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:08,200 Speaker 6: Much of that. 1103 01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,160 Speaker 1: I'm what I thought right there, Brother Sinclair, hold on, 1104 01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:13,280 Speaker 1: and I'm glad you said that, Iran, because that's what's 1105 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,040 Speaker 1: going to be my next point. Iran's going through it, 1106 01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:18,040 Speaker 1: Cuba's going through, Venezuela's going through it. It's a tactic. 1107 01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,680 Speaker 1: So if when we come back, explain how that tactic 1108 01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:23,880 Speaker 1: works destroy the local economy and then the people rise 1109 01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,000 Speaker 1: up and then they're calling for a change. So explain 1110 01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,280 Speaker 1: that when we get back eighteen after the top, they 1111 01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:30,000 Speaker 1: our family, are you just waking up? Our guess is, 1112 01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,640 Speaker 1: Brother Saint Clair Skinner, you want to join this conversation. 1113 01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:35,080 Speaker 1: Reach out to us at eight hundred and four or 1114 01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,960 Speaker 1: five zero, seventy eight, seventy six, and we'll take your 1115 01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:41,160 Speaker 1: phone calls next and Grand Rising Family, thanks you starting 1116 01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,200 Speaker 1: your week with us. Twenty minutes after the top, there 1117 01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:46,120 Speaker 1: our guest, brother Saint Clair Skinner. Brother Saint Clair is 1118 01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:50,720 Speaker 1: a DC activist. He's also a world traveler, a humanitarian, 1119 01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:54,120 Speaker 1: and a businessman and a pilot and a visionary. So 1120 01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:56,360 Speaker 1: before we left, it's on about some of the things 1121 01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,520 Speaker 1: that you're hearing. When you hear these disturbances in these 1122 01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:02,560 Speaker 1: countries are about the the the people rising up against 1123 01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:05,160 Speaker 1: the government. There's a reason because the economy goes south. 1124 01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:07,600 Speaker 1: And this is reason you mentioned the same bobwe the 1125 01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:09,840 Speaker 1: tarffs that are put on the zam Babwe and we 1126 01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,760 Speaker 1: see the same thing Cubans and Venezuela. So is there 1127 01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,720 Speaker 1: a common denominator and we're seeing it now in Iran 1128 01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:17,920 Speaker 1: as well? Is there a common denominator when all these 1129 01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:18,439 Speaker 1: things happen? 1130 01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:24,040 Speaker 7: Brother sainclear Yeah, absolutely, Again, this is one under tactics. 1131 01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:27,160 Speaker 7: You know, they sometimes call it soft power, but you know, 1132 01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:29,000 Speaker 7: instead of having some type of what they call it 1133 01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:33,880 Speaker 7: kinetic war, when they use violence directly with arms, they 1134 01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,120 Speaker 7: use the violence of the dollar. The dollar dominance is 1135 01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,320 Speaker 7: getting us that hegemony that we talk about, where now 1136 01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:43,960 Speaker 7: when global trade and the global economies use the dollar, 1137 01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,000 Speaker 7: when the country that controls the makes dollars, which is 1138 01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:49,840 Speaker 7: the only one who knows, the United States are reserve. 1139 01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:53,040 Speaker 7: That's why they control these things. So even when you 1140 01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:58,840 Speaker 7: think about drug trafficking, human trafficking, or weapons trafficking, they 1141 01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:02,200 Speaker 7: use the dollar. They're not using a shows to sell drugs. 1142 01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:04,960 Speaker 7: They sell and there's only one country that controls the dollars. 1143 01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,160 Speaker 7: That's why you don't have to get too mystical who's 1144 01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:10,760 Speaker 7: actually complicit in all this? And that being said, the 1145 01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,480 Speaker 7: same thing with sanctions as a form of violence, it's 1146 01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:15,480 Speaker 7: an active war. If I tell you that no one 1147 01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:20,440 Speaker 7: can come in and do trade with you, and contextually internationally, 1148 01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:25,320 Speaker 7: there's only one so called body that's allowed to do sanctions, 1149 01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:28,720 Speaker 7: and that's the United Nations. Anything else is what they 1150 01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:32,160 Speaker 7: call unilateral sanctions. Now, one of the parts that they 1151 01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:34,600 Speaker 7: try to do to make it like clever, they say, well, 1152 01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:39,360 Speaker 7: we're not sanctional country, we're just sentioning certain industries and 1153 01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:43,440 Speaker 7: certain people. So when you sanctions a person, it's going 1154 01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:46,000 Speaker 7: to be hard to know who that the person's name 1155 01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,800 Speaker 7: is John Smith. That means everybody that walks in the room, 1156 01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:50,480 Speaker 7: you're gonna have to say, what's your name? 1157 01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:51,280 Speaker 12: Well, now you. 1158 01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:54,320 Speaker 7: Sanction everybody, because now everybody has to be you know, 1159 01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:57,160 Speaker 7: figured out who you are and which John Smith is it? 1160 01:04:57,600 --> 01:04:57,760 Speaker 6: You know. 1161 01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:01,880 Speaker 7: So literally, once a country is under sanctions, there's been 1162 01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:06,040 Speaker 7: clever uh uh semantics and rhetoric, use propaganda and say 1163 01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:10,479 Speaker 7: oh no, it's just targeted to certain individuals. But again 1164 01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:13,760 Speaker 7: that certain individuals the president of the country. I mean, 1165 01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,680 Speaker 7: now everything they touched now as it is pasadon and 1166 01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:21,160 Speaker 7: on broad and you can't deal with it. Even when 1167 01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:24,040 Speaker 7: we early on in Zimbabwe, there's a very you know, 1168 01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:28,480 Speaker 7: important company in the cryptospace coinbase. We had a great 1169 01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:35,320 Speaker 7: relationship and because Zimbabwe was under sanctions, but the particular entity. 1170 01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:36,240 Speaker 8: That we were dealing with was not. 1171 01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:41,760 Speaker 7: They still just the thought of the possibility of something 1172 01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:45,880 Speaker 7: happening was too much of a risk for the General 1173 01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:50,400 Speaker 7: Counsel's Office. Like even with a country, if one person 1174 01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:52,760 Speaker 7: is under sanctions but not another one, but if the 1175 01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:55,560 Speaker 7: next day to the United States wakes up and decides 1176 01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:57,360 Speaker 7: to put sanction on this other person. 1177 01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:00,320 Speaker 8: So when you start seeing these countries. 1178 01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:04,800 Speaker 7: With you know, growing populations and trying to friend for 1179 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:10,200 Speaker 7: themselves under these sanctions, none of them have thriven economies. 1180 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,560 Speaker 7: Like you said, Cuba, who's been under a blockade for 1181 01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:16,400 Speaker 7: sixty years, it's even worse now. It's even worse now. 1182 01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,960 Speaker 7: And so when people talk about Venezuela and the relationship 1183 01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,880 Speaker 7: with oil, it's for Venezuela was oil. It used to 1184 01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:25,520 Speaker 7: be the former Soviet Union. They were trading oil for 1185 01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:29,560 Speaker 7: a sugarcane, right, So once you start putting these sanctions on, 1186 01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,680 Speaker 7: you're really covering their nose and mouth and then the 1187 01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:36,760 Speaker 7: local population. I mean again, they just want to eat. 1188 01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:40,520 Speaker 7: And this is now why hunger is used. And we 1189 01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:42,640 Speaker 7: even talk about this as even in an activist world. 1190 01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:46,000 Speaker 7: You know, when people are super happy, it's sometimes harder 1191 01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:49,720 Speaker 7: to organize them. But when people are dissatisfied, and which 1192 01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:53,000 Speaker 7: is what the reason that these sensions are being used. Now, 1193 01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:55,960 Speaker 7: they're trying to overthrow the people close to them. They're 1194 01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:57,960 Speaker 7: just looking out their windows. They're not looking at the 1195 01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,200 Speaker 7: White House, they're not looking at the eye in that 1196 01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:02,160 Speaker 7: they're not looking at any of these international body that 1197 01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:04,440 Speaker 7: is looking out their window. And I'll even be in 1198 01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:05,960 Speaker 7: some of these countries, they said, well, look at the government, 1199 01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:08,800 Speaker 7: they got fancy cars. This problem is not caused by 1200 01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:12,640 Speaker 7: fancy cars. This is a systemic thing where now you 1201 01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:18,840 Speaker 7: have the so called Western powers working collectively to cut 1202 01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:23,640 Speaker 7: off these economies from the global reality that they need 1203 01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:26,640 Speaker 7: to have access to. And then you have the neighboring countries. 1204 01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:29,400 Speaker 7: With a country like Zimbabwe, since it doesn't have a 1205 01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:33,000 Speaker 7: port like of Venezuela or Cuba, you can't even trade 1206 01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:37,400 Speaker 7: with Zimbabwe without engaging another country. So now you got 1207 01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:42,160 Speaker 7: their neighbors who again doing the revolutions, are very supportive, 1208 01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:46,160 Speaker 7: but now there's issues that there's fallout that can come 1209 01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:50,560 Speaker 7: out from them trying to be helpful. So sanctions are 1210 01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:54,360 Speaker 7: have been used for that. But the overstepping of their 1211 01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:59,440 Speaker 7: sension regime was what happened with Russia. With Russia recently 1212 01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:03,160 Speaker 7: with the same what happened is Russia has one of 1213 01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,680 Speaker 7: the most you know, is one of the most energy 1214 01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:09,360 Speaker 7: producing countries in the world. Has all these resources. So 1215 01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:14,360 Speaker 7: the bricks countries now are saying, you know what, the 1216 01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:17,840 Speaker 7: dollar is being used for violence and everything, and they 1217 01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:22,280 Speaker 7: even now are confiscating money that they're now going to 1218 01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:27,240 Speaker 7: give to belligerents and a conflict because they have access 1219 01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:30,840 Speaker 7: to these banks with their money. It's now undermine the 1220 01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:35,920 Speaker 7: whole global economy because you these economies are based on trust. 1221 01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:38,559 Speaker 7: You know, I put the money in the bank. I thought, 1222 01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:40,040 Speaker 7: as they'll be there. When the whole thing with the 1223 01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:42,519 Speaker 7: Swiss bank account that people always talk about, there was 1224 01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,479 Speaker 7: a level of you know, trust that you weren't gonna 1225 01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:47,439 Speaker 7: tell anybody, you weren't gonna take none of the money. 1226 01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:50,400 Speaker 7: But that money has been taken. And once you start 1227 01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:54,519 Speaker 7: doing that, people are now looking for alternatives to the 1228 01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,559 Speaker 7: US dollar. Now that's where you start hearing people talk 1229 01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:01,080 Speaker 7: about crypto. But crypto is not an a solution to 1230 01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:05,639 Speaker 7: that because one of the things they said that Madua 1231 01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:09,920 Speaker 7: was using is a crypto called tether, and Tether was 1232 01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:13,160 Speaker 7: a crypto that was said that for every one unit 1233 01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:17,360 Speaker 7: of their digital currency, there'd be one dollar in their 1234 01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:21,639 Speaker 7: bank account. So in some instances, people were trading tether 1235 01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:25,240 Speaker 7: like it was dollars. Well, the people who own tether 1236 01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:29,360 Speaker 7: were called by the US government allegedly and told to 1237 01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:34,960 Speaker 7: freeze those accounts, turn the money off. And it's easier 1238 01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:39,400 Speaker 7: to turn digital things off than something like gold unless 1239 01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:41,960 Speaker 7: but again we saw that happen with gold because again 1240 01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,800 Speaker 7: many of these countries thought it was safer to store 1241 01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:48,040 Speaker 7: their gold in Europe. But then when they run a foul, 1242 01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:51,879 Speaker 7: they the Europeans want to steal their gold. They accused 1243 01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:54,120 Speaker 7: them of doing something bad, and then they said we're 1244 01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:57,360 Speaker 7: going to keep your gold because I said so so, 1245 01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,200 Speaker 7: and I'm a bitcoin maximus. You can't do that with 1246 01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,080 Speaker 7: big onin you can't just shut that off, but tether 1247 01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:06,360 Speaker 7: you could. So Again, it's the use of the dollar 1248 01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:10,439 Speaker 7: for violence, and that's what we've seen. That's what sanctions are. 1249 01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:13,519 Speaker 7: If these are acts of when when was it Bush 1250 01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:17,400 Speaker 7: or Busher, Reagan? Mind the harbors of Nicaragua. That's an 1251 01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:21,960 Speaker 7: active war. You can't prevent another country unilaterally without the 1252 01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:25,960 Speaker 7: United Nations from being able to trade like that's an 1253 01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:28,960 Speaker 7: active war. So these sanctions, yeah. 1254 01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:32,600 Speaker 1: Right here, brother sc Donald Trump has done that with 1255 01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:35,639 Speaker 1: impunity and nobody, nobody says it seems to be able 1256 01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:37,680 Speaker 1: to stop him. He says, the only thing that can 1257 01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:40,920 Speaker 1: stop in his own morality. How do you explain that. 1258 01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:46,439 Speaker 7: Is violence? Literally the control I mean, just like that 1259 01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:50,880 Speaker 7: woman who's was the opposition party got a Nobel Peace Prize. 1260 01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:55,160 Speaker 7: That I mean, she's advocating invasion. Like say, the whole 1261 01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:57,479 Speaker 7: Nobel Peace Prize was the guy was supposed to be 1262 01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:00,519 Speaker 7: somebody who had invented some kind of diet and he 1263 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:03,160 Speaker 7: felt so bad, so he wanted to pursue peace for 1264 01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:07,719 Speaker 7: something weird. But literally, for someone to get the Nobel 1265 01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:12,000 Speaker 7: Peace Prizes advocating invasions, it can't be that. This is 1266 01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:18,960 Speaker 7: again it's been compromised. But so genocide, We're all against genocide, 1267 01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:23,560 Speaker 7: but literally we've seen that momark Adafi being murdered, you know, 1268 01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:28,600 Speaker 7: under Obama. That's so Trump has violated these things, but 1269 01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:32,400 Speaker 7: he's not the first. There's probably not one US president 1270 01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:36,920 Speaker 7: that didn't violate these international norms. That's what I'm saying. 1271 01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,320 Speaker 7: I think I think we need to say Trump is 1272 01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:42,519 Speaker 7: the devil. Fine, but if you look at the system, 1273 01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:48,280 Speaker 7: the United States has never honored any of the Invading 1274 01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:53,360 Speaker 7: Iraq was illegal. You know, the genocide against the indigenous 1275 01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:58,920 Speaker 7: people here is illegal. Bringing us over here and justifying 1276 01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:02,320 Speaker 7: it was pseudosis and pseudo things like this, this thing 1277 01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:04,560 Speaker 7: would started again. I don't want to think this is 1278 01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:10,880 Speaker 7: the truth. Australia, United States, Rhodesia, South These things were 1279 01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:18,840 Speaker 7: they built on breaking international norms, so and killing was 1280 01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:22,080 Speaker 7: raping and killing on the polished right. 1281 01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:25,000 Speaker 1: And having said that, though, are you optimistic for us 1282 01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:27,880 Speaker 1: as a people looking after the future, for you as 1283 01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:29,360 Speaker 1: a world traveler as well? 1284 01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:37,280 Speaker 7: Yes, this is this behavior. The reason I'm trying to 1285 01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:41,080 Speaker 7: make this point. It's not like this wasn't already what 1286 01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:44,560 Speaker 7: we've now, we've heightened it to the point when I 1287 01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:47,920 Speaker 7: was working with these young people with this Occupy Wall 1288 01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:52,840 Speaker 7: Street to the brother comment before about saying communism. Whatever 1289 01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:55,760 Speaker 7: you think about Occupy, you know what they did when 1290 01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:59,360 Speaker 7: they said they made the lexicon the one percent for 1291 01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:03,479 Speaker 7: the first time, I remember being something you could say 1292 01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:07,160 Speaker 7: without being called a communist. The one percent a handful 1293 01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:10,919 Speaker 7: of people controlling most of all the resources. That context 1294 01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:15,240 Speaker 7: is very interesting to me. We've seen this forever. We 1295 01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:18,439 Speaker 7: call it different names, there's different faces that are part 1296 01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,720 Speaker 7: of it. But we just said Cuba's been under ambargo 1297 01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:24,960 Speaker 7: for sixty years. Trump has not been president for sixty years. 1298 01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:29,600 Speaker 7: So we've got to know that there's been consistency in 1299 01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:34,759 Speaker 7: many of these things with levels of popularity or levels 1300 01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:42,120 Speaker 7: of rhetoric. But Vietnam, like there's probably not one country 1301 01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:45,040 Speaker 7: that's killed more people in the last sixty years than 1302 01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:48,080 Speaker 7: the United States. I don't want that to be true. 1303 01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,599 Speaker 7: But if we really look at what Afghanistan for twenty years, 1304 01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:55,280 Speaker 7: like this thing about twenty years and having to live 1305 01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:58,360 Speaker 7: through that, those people have never deserved that. You can 1306 01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:01,439 Speaker 7: talk about Taliban's OPI know, you talk about the people 1307 01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:04,519 Speaker 7: that grew up in the last twenty years. That was 1308 01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:07,160 Speaker 7: just wrong and whatever God we prayed to got saw that. 1309 01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:11,080 Speaker 7: So to talk about Trump is I think it's accurate. 1310 01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:16,280 Speaker 7: But what Trump has done is literally elevated this madness 1311 01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:20,600 Speaker 7: to the point where people is in their face. You 1312 01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:24,200 Speaker 7: can't you can look away, but you sinked it. Now 1313 01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:27,479 Speaker 7: that you saw it, you saincd it. Now you can't 1314 01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:31,040 Speaker 7: be an American right now and and not know that 1315 01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:35,560 Speaker 7: genocide is taking place. That has been genocided in the 1316 01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:41,240 Speaker 7: d r C. There's been genocides and and and uhhas 1317 01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:45,479 Speaker 7: what's it. I can't think of Papua New Guinea, but 1318 01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:50,040 Speaker 7: East Keymour There's been genocides throughout the world. While other 1319 01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:53,240 Speaker 7: presidents were in office, we don't talk about those, but 1320 01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:55,559 Speaker 7: now we know, like there's no it's gonna be hard 1321 01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:58,800 Speaker 7: for an American to tell you about genocide and talk 1322 01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:00,800 Speaker 7: about it, and then the asked the question to be 1323 01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:03,719 Speaker 7: often or asked like what would you have done doing slavery? 1324 01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:07,600 Speaker 7: What would you have done during the Holocaust, Because there's 1325 01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:10,519 Speaker 7: a genocide going on right now, what are you doing? Well, 1326 01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:12,720 Speaker 7: that's what you would probably do during slavery in hal 1327 01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:15,920 Speaker 7: of fall, So stop it, like, let's not have fake conversations. 1328 01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:20,400 Speaker 7: So I just think what Trump has done, he's elevated 1329 01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:25,280 Speaker 7: the truth. He's a liar, path a logical liar, but 1330 01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:31,560 Speaker 7: his activities have literally made people who were seemingly conspiracy 1331 01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:34,640 Speaker 7: theorists you know the United States is behind U or 1332 01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:36,880 Speaker 7: you know this is CIA. You say these things and 1333 01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:38,960 Speaker 7: people are like, oh, you're just saying that because you 1334 01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:42,200 Speaker 7: just don't like America. Now now you just look at 1335 01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:44,719 Speaker 7: us like it's blatant. I'm coming to take the oil. 1336 01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:48,559 Speaker 7: We knew that black folks knew that it wasn't weapons 1337 01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:51,120 Speaker 7: of masters destruction. We've been lied on in the United 1338 01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,560 Speaker 7: States ever since they brought us here. So we know 1339 01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:56,840 Speaker 7: who the liar is. We know who the thief really is. 1340 01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:00,639 Speaker 7: So now there's people because of the propagenough because they're 1341 01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:04,680 Speaker 7: dumb This is psychops psychological warfare being used to make 1342 01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:08,679 Speaker 7: people think one thing when it's the other. Trump has 1343 01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:12,880 Speaker 7: violated so much of that that's more difficult now to 1344 01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:16,720 Speaker 7: put that genie back in the bottle. And it's apparently 1345 01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:19,800 Speaker 7: and overtly the way that is, and I just think 1346 01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:22,840 Speaker 7: there's no going back. I think it's gonna it's It 1347 01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:27,200 Speaker 7: actually makes the change more rapid, which for those who 1348 01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:30,240 Speaker 7: are anticipating in a new world that's better. 1349 01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:33,800 Speaker 6: That may not be a it is what it is. 1350 01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:35,880 Speaker 7: That's why I should say it like I don won't 1351 01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:36,599 Speaker 7: say it the wrong way. 1352 01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:37,680 Speaker 13: It is what it is. 1353 01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:42,240 Speaker 1: Twenty six away from the town thing, I have some 1354 01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:44,559 Speaker 1: folks want to talk to you.

In Brhodesia. 1370 01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:39,439 Speaker 15: Uh. 1371 01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:41,880 Speaker 14: I just wanted to, you know, ask you that question 1372 01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:47,880 Speaker 14: because when you mentioned uh, South Africa, and I forget 1373 01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:50,240 Speaker 14: the country that you said that where people go to 1374 01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:53,920 Speaker 14: clean toilets, Uh, they are also paid this thing called 1375 01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:57,040 Speaker 14: a bachelor salary where they can't afford anything other than 1376 01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:00,640 Speaker 14: to you know, feed themselves basically. But but isn't that 1377 01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:07,320 Speaker 14: what's happening in Washington, d Sorry, in Maryland and northern Virginia. 1378 01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:10,720 Speaker 14: Also in reference to you know what the Trump administration 1379 01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:13,840 Speaker 14: did when they laid off all the federal employees. Uh, 1380 01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:17,360 Speaker 14: many of the people who work in Maryland are hired 1381 01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:20,800 Speaker 14: by the government, and now these people are unemployed. And 1382 01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:23,960 Speaker 14: then the only jobs are available all are these uh, 1383 01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:28,400 Speaker 14: you know, bachelor jobs for men and literally in a 1384 01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:31,519 Speaker 14: black community, you know, these jobs can't afford a man 1385 01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:33,599 Speaker 14: the ability to support our family. 1386 01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:40,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think Marley disagreement would be I think we've 1387 01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:44,160 Speaker 7: had bachelor wages in our community forever. I think your 1388 01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:46,679 Speaker 7: point is well taken in a sense that it's they've 1389 01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:49,760 Speaker 7: managed our communities this way. They made it so that 1390 01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:53,200 Speaker 7: we had to leave our communities to effectively be in 1391 01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:58,120 Speaker 7: another community to actually have any meaningful, you know, way 1392 01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:01,040 Speaker 7: of living. So we flee our community. It's just like 1393 01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:06,320 Speaker 7: again the point, our communities were purposely undermined so that 1394 01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:09,519 Speaker 7: we were easier to be extracted and used to build 1395 01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:13,639 Speaker 7: their community. So I think to your point, that's what's happening. 1396 01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:17,479 Speaker 7: But I think as now people are more aware, Like 1397 01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:20,519 Speaker 7: there was a time where we were blaming each other, 1398 01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:24,799 Speaker 7: like literally right now. People know Trump took people's jobs 1399 01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:27,839 Speaker 7: just a couple of days ago. I'm using it, I perpectly, 1400 01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:30,360 Speaker 7: But just a little while back, not having a job, 1401 01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:32,599 Speaker 7: they would just blame us, you know, black folks, lazy, 1402 01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:36,439 Speaker 7: we're not doing But people know now that structurally there's 1403 01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:41,120 Speaker 7: real people purposely taking the jobs away, and there's a 1404 01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:45,320 Speaker 7: real consequence. I think with someone who was clear the 1405 01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:48,840 Speaker 7: government was doing that already, the Trump the way he 1406 01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:53,040 Speaker 7: does it and Elon Musk and these other white supremacists. 1407 01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:55,920 Speaker 7: It makes it clear that it doesn't have to be 1408 01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:59,240 Speaker 7: the KKK. You could just be any professional. It's not 1409 01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:01,720 Speaker 7: David Duke. It don't somebody calls you a bad name. 1410 01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:06,240 Speaker 7: It's people who are willing to propagate these these unsustainable 1411 01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:08,920 Speaker 7: death life policy and they're. 1412 01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:10,240 Speaker 8: Doing right there. 1413 01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:12,880 Speaker 1: Brother Saint Clair got to step uside and check the news, trafficking, 1414 01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:14,400 Speaker 1: weather at different season and we come back.

We've not gone the way of 1463 01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:32,920 Speaker 7: the Indigenous Americans. We've literally no matter what they've thrown 1464 01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:37,559 Speaker 7: at us, we've been able to maneuver continue to move forward. 1465 01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:41,200 Speaker 7: That the question is again, how long will this last? 1466 01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:47,560 Speaker 7: I think this thing that called America, this experiment or 1467 01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:50,599 Speaker 7: this enterprise, it's just hard to sustain it. And it's 1468 01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:54,519 Speaker 7: not just about just black versus white. It's just a 1469 01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:58,920 Speaker 7: handful of people that are benefiting. You know, whites are hurting. 1470 01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:01,559 Speaker 7: You know, so many people hurting right now. 1471 01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:04,360 Speaker 6: That is just more and more, and I. 1472 01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:08,519 Speaker 7: Think it's unsustainable. Europe no longer makes anything in Europe. 1473 01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:13,639 Speaker 7: They are literally again it's a Pozi scheme of using 1474 01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:18,640 Speaker 7: the euro and the British pound and financial hubs, but 1475 01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:22,400 Speaker 7: actually like making things. Even when we start talking about technology, 1476 01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:26,560 Speaker 7: you know, they talk about Silicon Valley, and when you 1477 01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:30,320 Speaker 7: talk about AI, you know, whatever they say, the Chinese 1478 01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:35,360 Speaker 7: don't have deep Seek and what it does versus Open AI. 1479 01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:39,360 Speaker 7: Deep Seek does it at a much lower price point. 1480 01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:44,720 Speaker 7: And some of these evaluations of these evaluations of these 1481 01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:48,360 Speaker 7: technology in Silicon Valley, some of that is not probably 1482 01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:52,320 Speaker 7: based on fact. It's more speculation and fiction. 1483 01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:56,120 Speaker 8: I just think, again, these systems are set up. 1484 01:23:56,560 --> 01:24:00,639 Speaker 7: To extract for a handful of people. When I or China, 1485 01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:05,479 Speaker 7: their policies are meant to make the world better and 1486 01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:09,120 Speaker 7: make make China better for all of their people. As 1487 01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:14,720 Speaker 7: Africans in America or Black Americans, we've been in a 1488 01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:17,639 Speaker 7: system where we know the government wasn't going to help 1489 01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:21,360 Speaker 7: us much longer than a system that we think it 1490 01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:24,640 Speaker 7: might help us. So I just think we have survival 1491 01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:28,639 Speaker 7: skills that we have that we don't acknowledge. That we're 1492 01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:31,519 Speaker 7: told that we're not good enough, that psychological warfare being 1493 01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:35,160 Speaker 7: thrown out of us. But they know we're amazing, and 1494 01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:39,559 Speaker 7: their days are numbered. Even population wise, the Chinese made 1495 01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:43,160 Speaker 7: a mistake with the one child policy, and now I 1496 01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,840 Speaker 7: saw nothing but a bunch of strollers running around China. 1497 01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:49,439 Speaker 7: They know they made a mistake, it was wrong, and 1498 01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:52,439 Speaker 7: now they're you know again, they're having a deficit on workers, 1499 01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:54,800 Speaker 7: but they're not going to stay there like they made. 1500 01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:57,880 Speaker 7: You know, It's one thing if the United States or 1501 01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:00,960 Speaker 7: some of these entities saw what they doing is wrong, 1502 01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:05,040 Speaker 7: they don't think is wrong. They're tripling down, you know, 1503 01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:08,960 Speaker 7: they they stop digging. It sounds into it is, but 1504 01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:11,160 Speaker 7: when you're in a hole to stop, But once you're 1505 01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:14,240 Speaker 7: in the hole and you think the whole digging is 1506 01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:18,800 Speaker 7: your thing, you might even dig faster. I'll get there quicker, 1507 01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:21,479 Speaker 7: you know. So I think in many ways, the system 1508 01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:25,360 Speaker 7: that we've been able to resist over all these decades 1509 01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:28,040 Speaker 7: and hundreds of years is a system that's going to 1510 01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:32,599 Speaker 7: ultimately self destruct. And now the tools that we need 1511 01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:35,080 Speaker 7: to use is what is the world that we want 1512 01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:38,599 Speaker 7: to see? So the technology and organizing that I'm doing 1513 01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:41,920 Speaker 7: is about how do we reimagine the world. That's why 1514 01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:45,000 Speaker 7: when the brother said, when you say communism turns people, 1515 01:25:45,240 --> 01:25:47,840 Speaker 7: it need be perceived away, it was so right. I 1516 01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:49,880 Speaker 7: don't want to say communism because it might spook to 1517 01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:52,719 Speaker 7: people that I want to work with. I'm saying, whatever system, 1518 01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:56,280 Speaker 7: whatever you want to call it, capitalism has run its course. 1519 01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:57,320 Speaker 6: This is what it does. 1520 01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:03,519 Speaker 7: Pollution, wealth, disparity, you know, global warming. This is the 1521 01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:07,320 Speaker 7: manifestation of a system that's failed. Right, So what failed 1522 01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:11,000 Speaker 7: the world but benefited a handful of people. Those handful 1523 01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:13,840 Speaker 7: of people is unsustainable. It's not going to last forever. 1524 01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:18,679 Speaker 7: What world do we want to live in? Let's start 1525 01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:22,680 Speaker 7: working towards that now. Let's not wait, Let's right now 1526 01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:27,280 Speaker 7: create and begin to develop relationships. Let's not start talking 1527 01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:30,920 Speaker 7: about Pan Africanism when all falls apart. Let's talk about 1528 01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:34,160 Speaker 7: ways that we can reconnect. Just talk about ways that 1529 01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:38,240 Speaker 7: in spite of our tribal differences, let's look at our 1530 01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:41,519 Speaker 7: diversity as a positive. What are the positive things. What's 1531 01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:45,000 Speaker 7: the power in it. Let's do that now, because they've 1532 01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:48,360 Speaker 7: used divide and rule against us often. We don't want 1533 01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:52,120 Speaker 7: this new multi polar world, this bricks world. We don't 1534 01:26:52,160 --> 01:26:54,720 Speaker 7: want to be divided. We want to be together. So 1535 01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:59,200 Speaker 7: we can do things now to actually start the process 1536 01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:02,960 Speaker 7: of being repaired for the new world that's bound to happen. 1537 01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:04,920 Speaker 7: I'm not going to say when because that can be 1538 01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:08,560 Speaker 7: scaries to people, but literally, you know that this is 1539 01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:12,840 Speaker 7: not working. Let's start working together to create something better 1540 01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:13,600 Speaker 7: to replace it. 1541 01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:16,680 Speaker 1: All right? Hold up though right there it makes I 1542 01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:18,400 Speaker 1: got a bunch of folks want touch you. Eight after 1543 01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:21,120 Speaker 1: eight minutes away from the top of the Actually, Tyrone's 1544 01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:23,160 Speaker 1: reaching out to us. He's in Baltimore. He's on line 1545 01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:25,880 Speaker 1: three Grand Rising. Tyron. You're with brother Sinclair Skinner. 1546 01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:31,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, Ran Rosa cal and Brother u s Skinner. I 1547 01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:34,479 Speaker 5: think you have And that's an analysis as far as 1548 01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:36,800 Speaker 5: people think that the reason or trying to pretend like 1549 01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:39,920 Speaker 5: the reason that we don't have anything is that black 1550 01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:42,439 Speaker 5: people are lazy. I've had arguments with peoplebout the Korean 1551 01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:45,240 Speaker 5: stores being in our neighborhoods, and I tried to explain 1552 01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:48,639 Speaker 5: to them that after the Asian Immigration Actor of nineteen 1553 01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:50,880 Speaker 5: sixty five, which a lot of a lot of men, 1554 01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:53,639 Speaker 5: but they wouldn't give black people homes the better credit 1555 01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:55,400 Speaker 5: that white people would get it to destory, but they 1556 01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:57,360 Speaker 5: would give the loans to Koreans fresh off the boat. 1557 01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:00,080 Speaker 5: So a lot of stuff is, as you said, for 1558 01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:02,360 Speaker 5: a lot of Suther's engineered not just like gay get gay, 1559 01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:04,840 Speaker 5: but by the professionals in the government, like you know 1560 01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:08,880 Speaker 5: as why as redlining and things like that. But what 1561 01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:10,840 Speaker 5: I was I did have a question for you with 1562 01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:14,840 Speaker 5: regard to the fact that we've been financing a tax 1563 01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:16,880 Speaker 5: cuts for the rich for the past fifty years and 1564 01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:19,200 Speaker 5: going into debt to do it. That's why we don't 1565 01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:21,800 Speaker 5: have U medic care for all and all kinds of things. 1566 01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:25,360 Speaker 5: This things can be directed by by simply taxing the 1567 01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:26,640 Speaker 5: rich at a fair amount. 1568 01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:27,360 Speaker 7: But we refuse to do it. 1569 01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:31,439 Speaker 5: So what's going and I believe what you're saying what's 1570 01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:33,680 Speaker 5: gonna eventally happen is we're going to come off the 1571 01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:37,439 Speaker 5: dollars of reserve currency and the bricks laid company on currency. 1572 01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:40,240 Speaker 5: Maybe the Africans will underto suret. 1573 01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:41,240 Speaker 7: That's why there's some. 1574 01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:44,000 Speaker 5: Anxious to kill people like Adoppy. But I want you 1575 01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:47,400 Speaker 5: to explain what we'll happen when the government becomes insolvent. 1576 01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:51,120 Speaker 5: Because the fact that we are the reserve currency of 1577 01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:52,960 Speaker 5: the world allows us to print money out to the air. 1578 01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:55,760 Speaker 5: A lot of people realize that power, and these nations 1579 01:28:55,760 --> 01:28:57,679 Speaker 5: are getting tired of the dollar beate used as a weapon. 1580 01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:00,679 Speaker 5: So the bricks has become more and more power powerful. 1581 01:29:01,160 --> 01:29:06,240 Speaker 5: They control more GDP than the G seven. So if 1582 01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:08,840 Speaker 5: they decide to have their own currency, please explain what 1583 01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:10,640 Speaker 5: will happened if the dog comes as saw it. 1584 01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:16,479 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think your point is the first point. I 1585 01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:20,560 Speaker 7: think actually is the point of all of it. You 1586 01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:23,960 Speaker 7: talked about how taxing the rich, and you talked about 1587 01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:26,680 Speaker 7: the fact that they can print all the money. So 1588 01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:30,439 Speaker 7: I think the truth is it's not that we don't 1589 01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:33,240 Speaker 7: have universal health care because they don't have the money. 1590 01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:38,160 Speaker 7: I mean, they've just been having these aircraft carriers standing 1591 01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:41,160 Speaker 7: outside in the Caribbean and not one time anyone talk 1592 01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:44,519 Speaker 7: about how much that costs. It can't be free and literally, 1593 01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:47,680 Speaker 7: so that's a lot of money being spent. Yet the 1594 01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:50,360 Speaker 7: truth is what you said, we have a money printing machine. 1595 01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:55,519 Speaker 7: It's not we literally Princess. The reason why there's not 1596 01:29:55,680 --> 01:29:58,360 Speaker 7: universal health care is because the people who control our 1597 01:29:58,439 --> 01:30:00,840 Speaker 7: government they call the state cap sure, don't want it 1598 01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:02,479 Speaker 7: to be. It's not that we don't have the money 1599 01:30:03,120 --> 01:30:06,080 Speaker 7: in the United States, because it's the reserve currency makes 1600 01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:08,120 Speaker 7: as much money as it wants, and it get paid 1601 01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:11,120 Speaker 7: for any We were in Afghanistan for twenty years, Bro, 1602 01:30:11,280 --> 01:30:13,479 Speaker 7: that's a lot of money. You don't even know, Like, 1603 01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:14,760 Speaker 7: we don't even talk about how. 1604 01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:15,240 Speaker 9: Much it was. 1605 01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:20,719 Speaker 7: It's crazy. So literally, what took place in Venezuela's recently 1606 01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:22,960 Speaker 7: or what took places going on and got all of 1607 01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:25,720 Speaker 7: this is fasting money. None of this is Weapons are 1608 01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:29,040 Speaker 7: extensive and they're only good for one thing, so I mean, 1609 01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:32,360 Speaker 7: good gracious, and they still got bullets. That means somebody's 1610 01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:35,760 Speaker 7: making them and somebody's paying for it with dollars that 1611 01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:37,600 Speaker 7: they can make out us in air. And that's the 1612 01:30:37,640 --> 01:30:39,680 Speaker 7: only reason I'm saying that to you is that if 1613 01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:44,640 Speaker 7: they choose the tax or not, if the people who 1614 01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:48,360 Speaker 7: control our government wanted us all to be healthy and 1615 01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:53,840 Speaker 7: be able access to shelter, food, and clothing, it's possible. 1616 01:30:54,800 --> 01:30:58,439 Speaker 7: It's just not only possible, of course, absolutely possible, but 1617 01:30:58,560 --> 01:31:01,720 Speaker 7: they don't want it. And again that's so that a 1618 01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:04,639 Speaker 7: certain group of people who maintained control of a massive people, 1619 01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:08,599 Speaker 7: because if everybody had these resources, then maybe it would 1620 01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:11,599 Speaker 7: have to be a meritocracy, because people who can eat 1621 01:31:11,720 --> 01:31:14,720 Speaker 7: and have all they needs taking care of aren't going 1622 01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:18,760 Speaker 7: to tolerate a government this wicked. But the way they 1623 01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:21,880 Speaker 7: do it to me and you is that they put 1624 01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:24,639 Speaker 7: us in a sense of scarcity. I need to keep 1625 01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:27,840 Speaker 7: this job just longer so that I can see that it's. 1626 01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:28,839 Speaker 9: Not We're not idiothing. 1627 01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:31,040 Speaker 7: They always try to make it like we're somehow dumb 1628 01:31:31,640 --> 01:31:34,799 Speaker 7: or participating. We literally want to take care of our family. 1629 01:31:35,640 --> 01:31:36,439 Speaker 10: That's not wrong. 1630 01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:40,479 Speaker 7: That's the family predates capitalism, communism. The first thing was 1631 01:31:40,560 --> 01:31:44,000 Speaker 7: mama and daddy. And then mama had a baby that 1632 01:31:44,120 --> 01:31:47,680 Speaker 7: she didn't eat, that she kept and nurtured and sacrificed for. 1633 01:31:48,200 --> 01:31:50,080 Speaker 7: So when people tell me the world is the dark 1634 01:31:50,160 --> 01:31:53,240 Speaker 7: wearing their daring thing where it's survival, the fit is 1635 01:31:53,280 --> 01:31:55,439 Speaker 7: the baby can't take care of itself. No one eats 1636 01:31:55,479 --> 01:31:58,640 Speaker 7: the baby, they take care of it. I think this 1637 01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:02,360 Speaker 7: stuff is unnatural that we that's why it's also unsustainable. 1638 01:32:02,800 --> 01:32:05,680 Speaker 7: So again I think when you say how does this 1639 01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:09,000 Speaker 7: end When the dollar no longer has its value, the 1640 01:32:09,200 --> 01:32:13,920 Speaker 7: people that own our government will have less power, and 1641 01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:17,880 Speaker 7: then there be other powers outside of the US. That's 1642 01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:21,559 Speaker 7: the multi polar thing that may not have the same 1643 01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:25,880 Speaker 7: value system. Even when people talk about China when it 1644 01:32:26,200 --> 01:32:28,559 Speaker 7: was at the top of the top of its power, 1645 01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:32,280 Speaker 7: it built walls. It didn't go around the world colonized 1646 01:32:32,320 --> 01:32:37,920 Speaker 7: and everybody everybody. We've normalized the white supremac ideology to 1647 01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:41,760 Speaker 7: say everybody's like that. I don't get I might be 1648 01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:43,799 Speaker 7: these these are things the world. I don't think everyone 1649 01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:46,000 Speaker 7: is like that. I've been all over the world. Most 1650 01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:49,080 Speaker 7: people don't want to bother nobody. They just want to 1651 01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:51,200 Speaker 7: do their thing, take care of their family, hang out 1652 01:32:51,240 --> 01:32:54,320 Speaker 7: with their old lady, with their family, have a tea 1653 01:32:54,520 --> 01:32:57,679 Speaker 7: or a beer, and watch some football like most people 1654 01:32:58,120 --> 01:33:01,280 Speaker 7: eat alka outport. It are the Those places are favelas 1655 01:33:01,360 --> 01:33:06,719 Speaker 7: and what's the slum and keberra and case. Most people 1656 01:33:06,880 --> 01:33:11,360 Speaker 7: in those areas have a higher character because when you 1657 01:33:11,439 --> 01:33:14,520 Speaker 7: don't have money, what they judge you on is your behavior. 1658 01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:18,040 Speaker 7: So I've probably seen the fact that when people were poor, 1659 01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:20,920 Speaker 7: they were better. I won't say better people. I'm not 1660 01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:23,080 Speaker 7: trying to touch money, or you should be poor, you 1661 01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:25,479 Speaker 7: shouldn't have money. I have money. But my point is 1662 01:33:25,720 --> 01:33:28,400 Speaker 7: I think the world is not what we right now. 1663 01:33:28,560 --> 01:33:31,360 Speaker 1: Hold that thought right there, Brother Sinclair, we still got 1664 01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:32,720 Speaker 1: some fush want to talk to you. But my question, 1665 01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:35,880 Speaker 1: I'll let you respond when we get back. If we 1666 01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:38,280 Speaker 1: know this what you say, doesn't the government know this? 1667 01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:40,560 Speaker 1: What plans do you think they have? I'll let you 1668 01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:42,320 Speaker 1: respond to that when we get back. Two minutes away 1669 01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:43,519 Speaker 1: from the top, hay, I found it. We got to 1670 01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:45,559 Speaker 1: check the traffic weather in our different cities. I guess 1671 01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:47,639 Speaker 1: this brother Sinclair Skinner, you'd like to speak to him, 1672 01:33:47,680 --> 01:33:49,240 Speaker 1: reach out to us at eight hundred and four or 1673 01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:51,920 Speaker 1: five zero seventy eight seventy six. I'm gonna take a 1674 01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:54,960 Speaker 1: phone calls next and Grand Rising family, thanks for starting 1675 01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:57,240 Speaker 1: your week with us. I guess his brother Sinclair Skinner 1676 01:33:57,360 --> 01:33:59,519 Speaker 1: moment tell you we're going to speak with doctor Tyrone Powers. 1677 01:33:59,680 --> 01:34:02,400 Speaker 1: But question for you, brother Saint clear, is the fact 1678 01:34:02,439 --> 01:34:05,280 Speaker 1: that what you said, especially what you said about bricks, 1679 01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:07,880 Speaker 1: we know all about that. So does the Donald Trump. 1680 01:34:07,960 --> 01:34:10,040 Speaker 1: So's all the other folks in this country know about it. 1681 01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:12,880 Speaker 1: In fact, Trump has a threatened them. He says, if 1682 01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:15,000 Speaker 1: they decide if they come up with a new currency 1683 01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:17,360 Speaker 1: or back a new currency, create a new currency, or 1684 01:34:17,439 --> 01:34:20,160 Speaker 1: anything to replace the dollar, they're going to face one 1685 01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:23,479 Speaker 1: hundred percent times. And he said he's going to go 1686 01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:25,600 Speaker 1: after them real hard if they do come up with 1687 01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:29,559 Speaker 1: another currency or they support another currency other than USD 1688 01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:33,599 Speaker 1: your thoughts about that, Yeah, I think. 1689 01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:39,320 Speaker 7: The people that control our politicians know, so I think 1690 01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:42,840 Speaker 7: they are making subtle moves. So just as much you 1691 01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:48,080 Speaker 7: might hear Trump say things, the tricky part is that 1692 01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:51,080 Speaker 7: they'll use him as a mouthpiece and then they'll use 1693 01:34:51,160 --> 01:34:54,840 Speaker 7: our tax dollars in government the implement, but they may 1694 01:34:54,920 --> 01:34:58,680 Speaker 7: not tell us what the real agenda is. I think 1695 01:34:58,800 --> 01:35:02,040 Speaker 7: you know, people follow black Rock. You know there are 1696 01:35:02,479 --> 01:35:08,679 Speaker 7: companies that financial companies that control other companies, and they're 1697 01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:12,080 Speaker 7: the ones that benefit from when the United States tries 1698 01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:16,400 Speaker 7: to run China out of the Panama Canal. Who's controlling what? 1699 01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:21,360 Speaker 7: Who benefits from the oil. So again, I think you're 1700 01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:26,280 Speaker 7: right that they know. But the tricky part is they've 1701 01:35:26,479 --> 01:35:32,040 Speaker 7: now spent a lot of money building something and lots 1702 01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:36,400 Speaker 7: of energy keeping that thing in place. They're going to 1703 01:35:36,479 --> 01:35:39,920 Speaker 7: try to hold on to investment, and it's going to 1704 01:35:40,040 --> 01:35:42,200 Speaker 7: end up being too late to get out of it. 1705 01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:46,639 Speaker 7: That's what I say. I think because they've benefited so much, 1706 01:35:47,280 --> 01:35:51,120 Speaker 7: there's a level of a sense of superiority that they like. 1707 01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:53,800 Speaker 7: I don't try to like to convince people that what 1708 01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:57,040 Speaker 7: racism is anymore at this age. If you really believe 1709 01:35:57,080 --> 01:35:59,760 Speaker 7: with those ridiculous things, you deserve what happens to you. 1710 01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:02,280 Speaker 7: I don't here to work with those who understand the 1711 01:36:02,360 --> 01:36:03,280 Speaker 7: truth of these days. 1712 01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:10,160 Speaker 1: Because yeah, we're racing the clock and Kashiba has a 1713 01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:12,040 Speaker 1: let'll take one more call, Fee, it's just the Kashiba's 1714 01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:15,200 Speaker 1: calling from Silver Spring.

And lastly, do we need to just 1726 01:37:08,720 --> 01:37:13,240 Speaker 16: leave the United States in order for our hopes of real, 1727 01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:19,840 Speaker 16: true freedom uh to be to be realized as a people? 1728 01:37:20,439 --> 01:37:26,760 Speaker 7: All Right, I think she's already winning by listening to 1729 01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:31,599 Speaker 7: Carl Nelson's show.

That the 1764 01:39:55,280 --> 01:39:58,880 Speaker 7: Cradle is good because they give the information that's independent 1765 01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:03,680 Speaker 7: of the CNNs and the Foxes and BBC. So I 1766 01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:06,479 Speaker 7: still might brew some of those other things, but these 1767 01:40:06,560 --> 01:40:09,439 Speaker 7: independent sources allow me to kind of like just pose 1768 01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:10,840 Speaker 7: the information against each other. 1769 01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:14,840 Speaker 1: All right, brothers and clairefour, We'll let you go.

You know, Malcolm X, 1813 01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:28,759 Speaker 9: the student have the honor of Elijah Muhammad said history 1814 01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:32,120 Speaker 9: is best qualified to reward our research, and what we're 1815 01:42:32,240 --> 01:42:35,760 Speaker 9: watching today is being done in a different way, but 1816 01:42:35,880 --> 01:42:39,200 Speaker 9: it's not different. It is the history of this particular 1817 01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:43,320 Speaker 9: nation across the world. And your last guest was talking 1818 01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:47,479 Speaker 9: about some of that. I mean President Nixon, what is 1819 01:42:47,640 --> 01:42:52,160 Speaker 9: but president Trump is doing in Venezuela. President Nixon, in fact, 1820 01:42:52,160 --> 01:42:55,639 Speaker 9: there's a documentary called The House of Sard He told 1821 01:42:55,720 --> 01:42:58,559 Speaker 9: the Saudi's at the time that either they would sell 1822 01:42:58,680 --> 01:43:01,880 Speaker 9: us or at the price that we set, or that 1823 01:43:02,240 --> 01:43:05,040 Speaker 9: he would invade them and take their or. As a result, 1824 01:43:05,160 --> 01:43:09,040 Speaker 9: the Saudi Arabia and the United States began this relationship. 1825 01:43:09,120 --> 01:43:12,360 Speaker 9: It's not a relationship by choice, it's by force. Go 1826 01:43:12,479 --> 01:43:15,559 Speaker 9: back to the Nixon administration. So you have military basis there. 1827 01:43:15,640 --> 01:43:18,439 Speaker 9: Now you have the Saudi saying nice things. You have 1828 01:43:18,680 --> 01:43:23,040 Speaker 9: this reciprocal relationship and almost the protection for the Saudis 1829 01:43:23,200 --> 01:43:26,200 Speaker 9: against Israel. Which is why the Saudis, despite all of 1830 01:43:26,280 --> 01:43:29,559 Speaker 9: their money and all of their wealth, have never discussed 1831 01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:33,559 Speaker 9: the development and creation of nuclear weapons because essentially they 1832 01:43:33,680 --> 01:43:37,800 Speaker 9: signed that deal with Nixon and the military of the 1833 01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:41,800 Speaker 9: United States. It becomes almost like a satellite state. Even 1834 01:43:41,880 --> 01:43:46,960 Speaker 9: though they're independent. The amount of military basis, the US 1835 01:43:47,080 --> 01:43:49,519 Speaker 9: presidence in Saudi Arabia is remarkable, but it goes back 1836 01:43:49,560 --> 01:43:53,200 Speaker 9: to Nixon threatening them either to sell there or at 1837 01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:58,639 Speaker 9: a reduced price or risk of military excursion an invasion, 1838 01:43:58,800 --> 01:44:04,280 Speaker 9: So I think it chaotic if you don't know which 1839 01:44:04,360 --> 01:44:07,160 Speaker 9: is intentional. The history of this nation and the things 1840 01:44:07,200 --> 01:44:08,840 Speaker 9: that have occurred in the past, and the way this 1841 01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:11,040 Speaker 9: is carried out. I think I mentioned to you before 1842 01:44:11,680 --> 01:44:16,680 Speaker 9: what is happening now internationally with Venezuela and Nigeria and 1843 01:44:17,160 --> 01:44:20,360 Speaker 9: other places. The threat that Trumps are making and in 1844 01:44:20,479 --> 01:44:24,919 Speaker 9: many cases carrying out is a duplication of the Eisenhower doctrine, 1845 01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:28,000 Speaker 9: where the Dulles brothers decided they were going to declare 1846 01:44:28,080 --> 01:44:30,639 Speaker 9: war on the world, but not in the conventional sense, 1847 01:44:31,280 --> 01:44:35,639 Speaker 9: not in a sense where you actually had this all 1848 01:44:35,720 --> 01:44:38,200 Speaker 9: out military battle, but they were going to use the CIA, 1849 01:44:38,280 --> 01:44:40,120 Speaker 9: they were going to activate them. So that's how they 1850 01:44:40,200 --> 01:44:43,680 Speaker 9: killed Patresa Muma infiltrating his inner circle like they did 1851 01:44:43,760 --> 01:44:47,160 Speaker 9: in Venezuela. That's why they did all of the regime 1852 01:44:47,360 --> 01:44:51,360 Speaker 9: changes in Latin America before. Who wouldn't support the corporations 1853 01:44:51,439 --> 01:44:54,639 Speaker 9: like Chiquita Banana, and so they sent the CIA down 1854 01:44:54,680 --> 01:44:58,240 Speaker 9: there to top and overthrow those governments and the issues 1855 01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:01,800 Speaker 9: we had in Iran before, which being duplicated now was 1856 01:45:01,880 --> 01:45:06,479 Speaker 9: the Central Intelligence Agency, unluckily from a historical standpoint, and 1857 01:45:06,560 --> 01:45:09,400 Speaker 9: all that's been published about how they overthrew their government before, 1858 01:45:09,600 --> 01:45:14,280 Speaker 9: how they infiltrated gangs, how they started fires and protests 1859 01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:17,639 Speaker 9: in the street that had the regime removed, and then 1860 01:45:17,920 --> 01:45:21,320 Speaker 9: once that regime was removed, the citizens realized they'd been duped, 1861 01:45:21,320 --> 01:45:24,560 Speaker 9: and then you had another Iranian revolution, which is the 1862 01:45:24,640 --> 01:45:27,080 Speaker 9: one that Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan was involved in 1863 01:45:27,160 --> 01:45:31,160 Speaker 9: in the nineteen seventy so history, you know, there's a 1864 01:45:31,200 --> 01:45:33,760 Speaker 9: biblical statement that said, there's nothing new under the sun. 1865 01:45:33,920 --> 01:45:37,960 Speaker 9: I think the best countermeasure that they've done to keep 1866 01:45:38,080 --> 01:45:41,400 Speaker 9: us from being able to put in countermeasures is to 1867 01:45:41,520 --> 01:45:42,280 Speaker 9: keep us ignorant. 1868 01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:42,439 Speaker 6: You know. 1869 01:45:42,560 --> 01:45:46,360 Speaker 9: Pol Pot and the Kme Rouge and Cambodia said that 1870 01:45:46,479 --> 01:45:48,720 Speaker 9: he wanted to kill all the educated people. He killed 1871 01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:51,400 Speaker 9: millions of people. He said, we can leave the uneducators alive, 1872 01:45:51,760 --> 01:45:56,600 Speaker 9: he said, but educated people will never allow for what 1873 01:45:56,680 --> 01:45:57,400 Speaker 9: I'm about to do. 1874 01:45:57,600 --> 01:45:58,439 Speaker 17: So in his courage. 1875 01:45:58,560 --> 01:46:01,200 Speaker 9: There was a movie about it called The Fields. He 1876 01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:03,960 Speaker 9: sent his people out to kill everyone who had an education, 1877 01:46:04,120 --> 01:46:06,840 Speaker 9: everyone who was breeding, everyone who's intelligence, either killed them 1878 01:46:06,960 --> 01:46:08,799 Speaker 9: or put them in fear, which we are seeing today 1879 01:46:09,200 --> 01:46:12,479 Speaker 9: throughout the United States. And then only the ignorant would 1880 01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:15,160 Speaker 9: be left, and the ignorant would do whatever he said do. 1881 01:46:15,280 --> 01:46:17,160 Speaker 9: He could send them to the factories, he can make 1882 01:46:17,200 --> 01:46:21,120 Speaker 9: them workers, he could subordinate them, but his specific order. 1883 01:46:21,280 --> 01:46:23,080 Speaker 9: And all this is written in history, and all this 1884 01:46:23,240 --> 01:46:27,519 Speaker 9: is available for our perusal. He said, kill all educated people. 1885 01:46:28,120 --> 01:46:32,880 Speaker 9: And it matches ideally or identically what happened during the 1886 01:46:32,960 --> 01:46:36,599 Speaker 9: days of slavery in this country. And they forbid blacks 1887 01:46:36,640 --> 01:46:40,040 Speaker 9: to read or right, because you know, Frederick Douglas said, 1888 01:46:40,040 --> 01:46:42,400 Speaker 9: once you learn to read, you will be free because 1889 01:46:42,439 --> 01:46:45,280 Speaker 9: there's certain things you will understand, certain measures you can 1890 01:46:45,360 --> 01:46:47,519 Speaker 9: put in place, and you won't be so much in fear. 1891 01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:51,960 Speaker 9: You will be more strategic and create countermeasures to what 1892 01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:53,800 Speaker 9: you're seeing and what you're doing. So they've done a 1893 01:46:53,840 --> 01:46:56,840 Speaker 9: great job in our public education system, even in our 1894 01:46:57,000 --> 01:47:00,880 Speaker 9: HBCUs of controlling the doctrine in your Last Call and 1895 01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:04,080 Speaker 9: mentioned Invisible Man in the book Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, 1896 01:47:04,200 --> 01:47:07,439 Speaker 9: with the president of a HBCU said that I'm my 1897 01:47:07,720 --> 01:47:11,720 Speaker 9: job is really through the main character out of the HBCU. 1898 01:47:11,840 --> 01:47:14,960 Speaker 9: So my job is to teach you what I'm supposed 1899 01:47:15,040 --> 01:47:17,680 Speaker 9: to teach you according to the white people, and that 1900 01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:20,200 Speaker 9: for that you will be educated. But you will be 1901 01:47:20,400 --> 01:47:23,879 Speaker 9: educated within and not without. That's in the book Invisible 1902 01:47:23,960 --> 01:47:25,920 Speaker 9: Man by Ralph Ellison, a very powerful read. 1903 01:47:27,120 --> 01:47:29,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I read that book sometime ago seventeen alf the 1904 01:47:29,280 --> 01:47:31,000 Speaker 1: top there.

So 1914 01:47:56,120 --> 01:47:58,800 Speaker 1: if they do that is going to hike tariffs on 1915 01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:00,519 Speaker 1: them one hundred percent and it's not going to be nice. 1916 01:48:00,720 --> 01:48:02,000 Speaker 1: So I want to get all that in when we 1917 01:48:02,040 --> 01:48:03,640 Speaker 1: get back.

Intervenient is against 1940 01:49:09,960 --> 01:49:12,599 Speaker 6: the law, and they have these things called ice watch 1941 01:49:12,680 --> 01:49:16,200 Speaker 6: academ I see watched the people volunteer and then they've 1942 01:49:16,200 --> 01:49:19,760 Speaker 6: been trained to use their cars block ice were trying 1943 01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:22,640 Speaker 6: to arrest people and stuff like that. The situation that 1944 01:49:22,720 --> 01:49:25,519 Speaker 6: happened in Minnesota, the young lady got shot. You look 1945 01:49:25,560 --> 01:49:30,480 Speaker 6: at the video for six hours. Six hours. She instigated 1946 01:49:30,640 --> 01:49:33,880 Speaker 6: and aggravated the police officers and they were trying to 1947 01:49:33,960 --> 01:49:36,000 Speaker 6: do that job here that they had a warrant and 1948 01:49:36,400 --> 01:49:39,800 Speaker 6: targeting this particular person, and she did this. She blocked 1949 01:49:39,800 --> 01:49:42,280 Speaker 6: Trump and everything and jump ahead a little bit. What 1950 01:49:42,439 --> 01:49:45,639 Speaker 6: they should start doing, you know, just give them large tickets. 1951 01:49:45,680 --> 01:49:48,120 Speaker 6: They can I'm not sure you can answer that question, 1952 01:49:48,560 --> 01:49:51,160 Speaker 6: like unlike police officers, you know, and state troopers they 1953 01:49:51,200 --> 01:49:54,880 Speaker 6: can give, you know, moving violations to stuff like that. 1954 01:49:55,320 --> 01:49:56,960 Speaker 6: But hopsell was give them like three or four hundred 1955 01:49:57,000 --> 01:49:59,680 Speaker 6: dollars that would deter that. But this lady instigated the 1956 01:49:59,800 --> 01:50:02,720 Speaker 6: entire our thing. Also, what happened in Portland, they had 1957 01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:05,439 Speaker 6: a target thing and situation where the person used the 1958 01:50:05,560 --> 01:50:08,760 Speaker 6: vehicle dinner's weapon and they had a target going after 1959 01:50:08,840 --> 01:50:11,160 Speaker 6: these two people. They were doing human trafficking and what 1960 01:50:11,360 --> 01:50:13,880 Speaker 6: was a tempt and tell us so many people of 1961 01:50:14,080 --> 01:50:17,880 Speaker 6: going out trying to like sympathope with these these gangsters 1962 01:50:17,960 --> 01:50:19,800 Speaker 6: and people are here legally. That's one of the. 1963 01:50:22,720 --> 01:50:25,400 Speaker 1: All right, Mike, uh, let's give it. Let's give doctor 1964 01:50:25,400 --> 01:50:27,400 Speaker 1: Pals a chance to thank you, Mike, thank you for 1965 01:50:27,400 --> 01:50:34,880 Speaker 1: your questions. Yeah, Mike, Yeah, Mike, listen on listen on life. 1966 01:50:34,920 --> 01:50:39,320 Speaker 6: Thank you documents. Kevin, the mister Delton, thank you very much. 1967 01:50:39,720 --> 01:50:45,040 Speaker 9: All Right, Well, my gangle is interesting because as you know, 1968 01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:49,720 Speaker 9: obviously there shouldn't be violence involved in these particular protests, 1969 01:50:49,760 --> 01:50:53,280 Speaker 9: but civil disobedience to say that, you know, we were 1970 01:50:53,600 --> 01:50:56,439 Speaker 9: moving up on Martin Luther King's birthday and the law 1971 01:50:57,040 --> 01:51:01,320 Speaker 9: prohibited Martin Luther King and the civil rights workers from 1972 01:51:01,400 --> 01:51:04,880 Speaker 9: protesting from marching down the street, from crossing the Salma Bridge, 1973 01:51:05,240 --> 01:51:08,080 Speaker 9: and how they simply followed that, then we would be 1974 01:51:08,120 --> 01:51:12,080 Speaker 9: in a bad place today. So the concept, the ideal 1975 01:51:12,360 --> 01:51:18,639 Speaker 9: of civil disobedience, protesting against police brutality with ball khanas 1976 01:51:18,920 --> 01:51:21,800 Speaker 9: whether it was in Selma, Alabama and any other state, 1977 01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:25,439 Speaker 9: born to Chicago and protesting and walking the streets and 1978 01:51:25,520 --> 01:51:28,599 Speaker 9: mega EVAs and so on and so forth, and all 1979 01:51:28,680 --> 01:51:32,800 Speaker 9: those people protesting and an act of civil disobedience have 1980 01:51:32,960 --> 01:51:35,560 Speaker 9: been part of the history that have helped us to 1981 01:51:35,640 --> 01:51:38,439 Speaker 9: make progress. So I don't have a problem with them 1982 01:51:38,760 --> 01:51:42,920 Speaker 9: participating in protests. They're not interfering in actions. You can 1983 01:51:43,040 --> 01:51:45,759 Speaker 9: protest that. That's what the civil rights movement was about. 1984 01:51:46,160 --> 01:51:48,120 Speaker 9: If you look at the history of the civil rights movement, 1985 01:51:48,160 --> 01:51:52,320 Speaker 9: it was called civil disobedience. Disobedience meaning that we are 1986 01:51:52,400 --> 01:51:56,120 Speaker 9: not going to obey with doctor King declared, since we 1987 01:51:56,120 --> 01:51:59,360 Speaker 9: were moving up on his birthday, unjust wars. In fact, 1988 01:51:59,439 --> 01:52:02,400 Speaker 9: his famous statement, as our lives begin to end the 1989 01:52:02,520 --> 01:52:06,320 Speaker 9: day we become silent about things that matter, So he 1990 01:52:06,520 --> 01:52:09,360 Speaker 9: was all for civil disobedience. Protests have been a part 1991 01:52:09,400 --> 01:52:14,560 Speaker 9: of this nation. One. Two, you're not necessarily interfering with 1992 01:52:14,760 --> 01:52:18,240 Speaker 9: federal actions that have a protest against their actions, which 1993 01:52:18,240 --> 01:52:21,200 Speaker 9: you're on the face of it seem extremely illegal. You know, 1994 01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:26,360 Speaker 9: this shooting that occurred in Minneapolis, and Trump administration and 1995 01:52:26,520 --> 01:52:28,320 Speaker 9: the Department of Justice said, well, it's going to be 1996 01:52:28,360 --> 01:52:31,479 Speaker 9: a federal investigation and we're not going to share information 1997 01:52:31,560 --> 01:52:34,000 Speaker 9: with the local jurisdiction. So that's an easy remedy. And 1998 01:52:34,080 --> 01:52:36,559 Speaker 9: this is why I love being on your show call, 1999 01:52:36,760 --> 01:52:38,840 Speaker 9: because all they need to do, all the family need 2000 01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:40,960 Speaker 9: to do with all these lawyers that we have is 2001 01:52:41,040 --> 01:52:44,519 Speaker 9: follow a civil suit against them for wrong for death. 2002 01:52:44,680 --> 01:52:48,400 Speaker 9: Then under Brady versus Maryland or under the discovery rooms, 2003 01:52:48,760 --> 01:52:51,720 Speaker 9: they have to turn over the information they have on 2004 01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:54,400 Speaker 9: the investigation so you can carry out your lawsuits. So 2005 01:52:54,479 --> 01:52:58,839 Speaker 9: then it becomes more than a battle between the federal 2006 01:52:58,880 --> 01:53:01,280 Speaker 9: government and the local of them. It becomes a battle 2007 01:53:01,360 --> 01:53:04,639 Speaker 9: between Trump administration and the courts. Because the court says 2008 01:53:05,000 --> 01:53:07,040 Speaker 9: that if someone files the civil suits and they get 2009 01:53:07,080 --> 01:53:08,800 Speaker 9: to the point where the judge is allowing it to 2010 01:53:08,880 --> 01:53:13,479 Speaker 9: go forward because you're charging excessive force or unjustified force, 2011 01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:18,680 Speaker 9: then the other side gets the ability to ask for discovery, 2012 01:53:18,800 --> 01:53:21,120 Speaker 9: and in the course of that discovery, they get to 2013 01:53:21,200 --> 01:53:25,880 Speaker 9: get everything everything about the person who fired the shots. Background, 2014 01:53:26,520 --> 01:53:29,760 Speaker 9: They get to get everything about the policies and practices 2015 01:53:29,840 --> 01:53:32,400 Speaker 9: of that agency. You have to turn them more over 2016 01:53:32,520 --> 01:53:34,720 Speaker 9: to them so they can follow the so they can 2017 01:53:34,800 --> 01:53:38,640 Speaker 9: follow the so they can participate in the lawsuit is 2018 01:53:38,760 --> 01:53:41,280 Speaker 9: being filed in court. The discovery rules required it. So 2019 01:53:41,320 --> 01:53:43,400 Speaker 9: there's more than one way to skin a cat. And 2020 01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:46,880 Speaker 9: this should be the brilliance of our Black lawyers and 2021 01:53:46,920 --> 01:53:49,960 Speaker 9: our civil rights lawyers in these particular cases, immediately file 2022 01:53:49,960 --> 01:53:52,840 Speaker 9: a civil rights case, because if he's forbidding the local 2023 01:53:52,920 --> 01:53:55,360 Speaker 9: government saying you won't get federal funds, he can't forbid 2024 01:53:55,880 --> 01:53:58,320 Speaker 9: a lawyer who files a civil suit from getting the 2025 01:53:58,360 --> 01:54:01,479 Speaker 9: discovery and the information on this case. Secondly, I've always 2026 01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:03,519 Speaker 9: said this, and I think we've talked about this before. 2027 01:54:04,160 --> 01:54:09,440 Speaker 9: Black organizations need an independent investigation apparatus anyway, or organizations, 2028 01:54:09,479 --> 01:54:12,080 Speaker 9: so you can conduct your own investigation. Now, let's say 2029 01:54:12,479 --> 01:54:15,679 Speaker 9: that the federal investigation exonerate these guys, you can file 2030 01:54:15,720 --> 01:54:19,080 Speaker 9: your own You can conduct your own investigation, publish the 2031 01:54:19,160 --> 01:54:22,040 Speaker 9: results of that investigation, give it to the public, give 2032 01:54:22,080 --> 01:54:25,200 Speaker 9: it to the NAACP and all these other organizations, so 2033 01:54:25,320 --> 01:54:28,360 Speaker 9: that the only investigation and the only outcome of an 2034 01:54:28,400 --> 01:54:31,799 Speaker 9: investigation won't be the one that come from the government. 2035 01:54:31,840 --> 01:54:34,480 Speaker 9: We saw that in the Kennedy assassination, where you had 2036 01:54:34,520 --> 01:54:38,040 Speaker 9: the ware commissioned investigation, but you had other entities that 2037 01:54:38,200 --> 01:54:42,120 Speaker 9: conducted their own investigation of that incident. So at least 2038 01:54:42,120 --> 01:54:46,320 Speaker 9: the public have an alternative from expert investigators who look 2039 01:54:46,400 --> 01:54:49,520 Speaker 9: into this particular matter and say this is a successive force. 2040 01:54:49,600 --> 01:54:53,040 Speaker 9: This was unnecessary. This is inconsistent with policy practices, so 2041 01:54:53,240 --> 01:54:55,440 Speaker 9: on and so forth, because it's a common statement, and 2042 01:54:55,480 --> 01:54:58,320 Speaker 9: I serve as an expert witness on numerous use of 2043 01:54:58,360 --> 01:55:01,000 Speaker 9: force case for police officers say I feared for my life. 2044 01:55:01,480 --> 01:55:03,720 Speaker 9: But the courts have said something different in the major 2045 01:55:03,760 --> 01:55:06,440 Speaker 9: Supreme Court case of Grand versus Connor and a more 2046 01:55:06,520 --> 01:55:08,720 Speaker 9: recent Supreme Court case that it has to be a 2047 01:55:08,760 --> 01:55:10,960 Speaker 9: little bit more than that. It is the totality of 2048 01:55:11,000 --> 01:55:13,760 Speaker 9: the circumstances that we get to lay out. If we 2049 01:55:13,840 --> 01:55:17,320 Speaker 9: are going to decide that it was justifiable force or 2050 01:55:17,400 --> 01:55:21,080 Speaker 9: accessive force, you get to lay out the entire circumstances 2051 01:55:21,120 --> 01:55:23,760 Speaker 9: of the incident. So at the very least, at the 2052 01:55:23,920 --> 01:55:28,480 Speaker 9: very least, this administration and the Department of Justice would 2053 01:55:28,480 --> 01:55:32,760 Speaker 9: have to release all the information to explain the totality 2054 01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:35,320 Speaker 9: of the circumstances. So there are things that we can 2055 01:55:35,400 --> 01:55:39,200 Speaker 9: do in these particular situations. Decides being angry upset along 2056 01:55:39,280 --> 01:55:43,200 Speaker 9: with protesting, which is our constitutional right, which is what 2057 01:55:43,480 --> 01:55:47,160 Speaker 9: led to what many of the advances that the middle 2058 01:55:47,200 --> 01:55:50,000 Speaker 9: class blacks enjoyed the day was the civil rights movement 2059 01:55:50,320 --> 01:55:54,520 Speaker 9: and civil disobedience. Not necessarily just because the governments say 2060 01:55:54,840 --> 01:55:57,160 Speaker 9: you can't come out and protest us. You don't go out. 2061 01:55:57,440 --> 01:56:00,800 Speaker 9: Remember again, we're heading up on doctor King's birthday. The 2062 01:56:01,040 --> 01:56:03,800 Speaker 9: movement that he was involved in was a civil disabute, 2063 01:56:03,840 --> 01:56:08,320 Speaker 9: we will not subscribe to and participate in unjust war laws. 2064 01:56:08,840 --> 01:56:12,200 Speaker 9: And that movement became international, so much so that he 2065 01:56:12,520 --> 01:56:15,000 Speaker 9: ended up getting in the World Peace Prize for a 2066 01:56:15,200 --> 01:56:19,240 Speaker 9: disobedience movement. So I would disagree from that standpoint. I 2067 01:56:19,320 --> 01:56:21,920 Speaker 9: don't suggest violence, I don't, but I do think that 2068 01:56:22,240 --> 01:56:26,800 Speaker 9: you have to monitor, watch the government. All the way 2069 01:56:26,880 --> 01:56:30,800 Speaker 9: back to the very racist so called founder Thomas Jefferson. 2070 01:56:30,880 --> 01:56:33,240 Speaker 9: He said that the greatest threat to Americans was not 2071 01:56:33,400 --> 01:56:35,680 Speaker 9: a murderer of rapist or a robber, it was the 2072 01:56:35,760 --> 01:56:38,600 Speaker 9: government itself. And he said the people have to maintain 2073 01:56:38,720 --> 01:56:42,080 Speaker 9: a watch over their government because that is the most 2074 01:56:43,440 --> 01:56:46,720 Speaker 9: most likely that's where a government will be come from 2075 01:56:46,760 --> 01:56:48,760 Speaker 9: a democracy or a republican is what we are, and 2076 01:56:48,880 --> 01:56:52,160 Speaker 9: not really a democracy, from a republic into a dictatorship. 2077 01:56:52,200 --> 01:56:54,880 Speaker 9: And that was Thomas Jefferson. So you can't be anti 2078 01:56:55,080 --> 01:56:59,640 Speaker 9: patriotic if you're quoting the patriots of this particular country 2079 01:56:59,640 --> 01:57:02,440 Speaker 9: who said monitor your government, who gave you the right 2080 01:57:02,520 --> 01:57:05,840 Speaker 9: to peachful protest protests in the First Amendment to the Constitution, 2081 01:57:06,360 --> 01:57:09,600 Speaker 9: you can't be anti government or anti what people are 2082 01:57:09,720 --> 01:57:12,440 Speaker 9: doing if you will say you believe in Martin Luther 2083 01:57:12,560 --> 01:57:15,480 Speaker 9: King Jr. As you approach his birthday, and he talked 2084 01:57:15,640 --> 01:57:18,720 Speaker 9: over and over again about civil disobedience. When they tried 2085 01:57:18,760 --> 01:57:21,160 Speaker 9: to keep him from doing the protests, whether they were 2086 01:57:21,240 --> 01:57:23,680 Speaker 9: in Selmo, whether they were in Montgomery, or whether they 2087 01:57:23,680 --> 01:57:26,160 Speaker 9: were in other places, they say the law doesn't allow 2088 01:57:26,160 --> 01:57:28,520 Speaker 9: and he got locked up because they say, you're evaluating 2089 01:57:28,600 --> 01:57:32,320 Speaker 9: the law by having these particular protests. And then doctor 2090 01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:34,600 Speaker 9: King came back and said, if they send you to jail, 2091 01:57:34,680 --> 01:57:38,320 Speaker 9: go to jail. Turn that from a dungeon of shame 2092 01:57:38,480 --> 01:57:43,120 Speaker 9: into a a den of justice and equality. So those 2093 01:57:43,200 --> 01:57:45,800 Speaker 9: things that are happening today are consistent with what we've 2094 01:57:45,840 --> 01:57:49,600 Speaker 9: done historically, and especially as we approach doctor King's birthday, 2095 01:57:49,720 --> 01:57:51,920 Speaker 9: many of us should understand that, as I said earlier 2096 01:57:52,040 --> 01:57:56,800 Speaker 9: in the first part when we had this discussion, the 2097 01:57:56,960 --> 01:58:00,200 Speaker 9: lack of understanding history and the lack of connecting the 2098 01:58:00,360 --> 01:58:05,160 Speaker 9: dots in history is where we are not able to 2099 01:58:05,200 --> 01:58:08,280 Speaker 9: come up with certain solutions. We are angry, we're emotional 2100 01:58:08,320 --> 01:58:10,800 Speaker 9: about it, and that's when we should be angry. But 2101 01:58:10,920 --> 01:58:13,520 Speaker 9: emotion isn't angry, it's not a solution. And then after 2102 01:58:13,560 --> 01:58:15,840 Speaker 9: we get angry about it about the shooting that happened 2103 01:58:15,880 --> 01:58:18,800 Speaker 9: in Minneapolis, because if it happened there, it'll happen over 2104 01:58:18,880 --> 01:58:21,960 Speaker 9: and over again. The recent video where the ICE agent 2105 01:58:22,040 --> 01:58:24,080 Speaker 9: said to the lady, you people should learn from what 2106 01:58:24,200 --> 01:58:27,520 Speaker 9: happened the other day. If we don't stand up against that, 2107 01:58:27,680 --> 01:58:29,560 Speaker 9: if we don't say something about that, if we don't 2108 01:58:29,560 --> 01:58:32,240 Speaker 9: come up with strategies, like a civil lawsuit that allows 2109 01:58:32,400 --> 01:58:36,640 Speaker 9: us all the documents are so associated with the federal investigation, 2110 01:58:37,360 --> 01:58:39,880 Speaker 9: by law, it requires that they turn that over to 2111 01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:42,720 Speaker 9: us in the discovery process. If we don't come up 2112 01:58:42,760 --> 01:58:44,320 Speaker 9: with strategies, and we just going to be a bunch 2113 01:58:44,360 --> 01:58:45,040 Speaker 9: of angry people. 2114 01:58:46,040 --> 01:58:48,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. Twenty nine away from the tough air doctor Tyren 2115 01:58:48,360 --> 01:58:52,800 Speaker 1: powss I guess the family retired FBI agent doctor Powers though, 2116 01:58:52,840 --> 01:58:57,800 Speaker 1: but of JD. Vance says that the ICE official ICE 2117 01:58:57,920 --> 01:59:02,080 Speaker 1: agent was a federal war is a fairly employee. Also, 2118 01:59:02,200 --> 01:59:09,960 Speaker 1: he says that he's granted absolute immunity. The federals who 2119 01:59:10,040 --> 01:59:15,360 Speaker 1: shot the lady in Minneapolis granted immunity, So how does 2120 01:59:15,400 --> 01:59:18,200 Speaker 1: that compart with what you're saying about finding. 2121 01:59:17,880 --> 01:59:21,400 Speaker 9: The civil with two things. You're suing the agency and 2122 01:59:21,480 --> 01:59:25,200 Speaker 9: you're suing them for not properly training their offices and agents. 2123 01:59:25,240 --> 01:59:27,280 Speaker 9: And let me say this, I'm not saying the outcome 2124 01:59:27,320 --> 01:59:29,400 Speaker 9: will be in your favor. I'm saying you'll get the 2125 01:59:29,560 --> 01:59:33,560 Speaker 9: documents and the investigation and the details of the investigation. 2126 01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:37,760 Speaker 9: You'll get discovery materials because you're suing the agency, even 2127 01:59:37,800 --> 01:59:40,000 Speaker 9: if you add the officer to it, and he has 2128 01:59:40,040 --> 01:59:42,680 Speaker 9: immunity in this particular case because he's a federal agent, 2129 01:59:43,480 --> 01:59:46,440 Speaker 9: which is not completely true. Because as an FBI agent, 2130 01:59:46,520 --> 01:59:49,040 Speaker 9: I had to get a million dollar policy to protect 2131 01:59:49,080 --> 01:59:52,560 Speaker 9: myself against lawsuits in case we were sued for excessive 2132 01:59:52,600 --> 01:59:55,360 Speaker 9: force and so on and so forth. The agency suggested 2133 01:59:55,440 --> 01:59:59,280 Speaker 9: that the Special Agents Association, which is a kind of 2134 01:59:59,560 --> 02:00:03,600 Speaker 9: semi quase a union for special agents in the FBI, 2135 02:00:04,560 --> 02:00:09,160 Speaker 9: requested or ask agents to get these million dollar policies 2136 02:00:09,240 --> 02:00:11,880 Speaker 9: to protect ourselves against lawsuits. But let's say you sue 2137 02:00:11,960 --> 02:00:16,520 Speaker 9: the agency and you're saying that, Okay, the officer if JD. Vans, 2138 02:00:16,560 --> 02:00:19,120 Speaker 9: want to argue this argument, and let's say he says 2139 02:00:19,200 --> 02:00:23,160 Speaker 9: that the agent had immunity. You're saying, we're suing the 2140 02:00:23,200 --> 02:00:25,880 Speaker 9: agency because they didn't properly train him. So he want 2141 02:00:25,960 --> 02:00:29,720 Speaker 9: the training documents of ICE to show how they train 2142 02:00:29,800 --> 02:00:31,880 Speaker 9: their officers. How do they train them and use of force? 2143 02:00:32,240 --> 02:00:35,240 Speaker 9: How are they training we're dealing with or stopping a vehicle? 2144 02:00:35,520 --> 02:00:38,760 Speaker 9: How do they train them in reassessing after they shoot? 2145 02:00:38,800 --> 02:00:42,040 Speaker 9: This woman was shot multiple times? All use of force training, 2146 02:00:42,080 --> 02:00:44,240 Speaker 9: I don't care where you do it, whether it's at FLEXI, 2147 02:00:44,320 --> 02:00:48,200 Speaker 9: which is the Federal Center for Training Federal Officers, or 2148 02:00:48,320 --> 02:00:51,880 Speaker 9: Chronicle Virginia with the DA and the FBI. Trade says 2149 02:00:51,920 --> 02:00:54,000 Speaker 9: that you shoot to stop, you don't shoot to kill. 2150 02:00:54,320 --> 02:00:57,640 Speaker 9: So after your shot, if the thread is no longer present, 2151 02:00:57,720 --> 02:00:59,880 Speaker 9: then you can't keep shooting. So he would have to 2152 02:01:00,080 --> 02:01:02,960 Speaker 9: even explain that. So what I'm saying is the outcome 2153 02:01:03,080 --> 02:01:06,080 Speaker 9: may not be in the favor of the citizens, but 2154 02:01:06,320 --> 02:01:10,400 Speaker 9: they would have to detail their thinking and that detailing 2155 02:01:10,600 --> 02:01:14,760 Speaker 9: of their thinking, how it is consistent or inconsistent with policy? 2156 02:01:15,280 --> 02:01:18,160 Speaker 9: Did they stop? Did he stop shooting? Did he reassess 2157 02:01:18,240 --> 02:01:21,400 Speaker 9: the situation? Did he try to avoid contact? Because de 2158 02:01:21,600 --> 02:01:25,520 Speaker 9: escalation policies and training for federal offices, which ICE is 2159 02:01:25,680 --> 02:01:28,160 Speaker 9: a part of who train that FLEXI says that you 2160 02:01:28,320 --> 02:01:30,360 Speaker 9: have to de escalate, which means you should move out 2161 02:01:30,400 --> 02:01:33,520 Speaker 9: of the way of danger if you can. We want 2162 02:01:33,600 --> 02:01:35,920 Speaker 9: those policies given out to the public, not just for 2163 02:01:36,000 --> 02:01:40,280 Speaker 9: this particular situation, because clearly this is happening and more 2164 02:01:40,360 --> 02:01:43,480 Speaker 9: than Minneapolis is happening with black people every day across 2165 02:01:43,520 --> 02:01:47,000 Speaker 9: the city, state, nation, and country, with local state agencies 2166 02:01:47,040 --> 02:01:50,840 Speaker 9: and federal agencies. But at least that process of going 2167 02:01:50,920 --> 02:01:53,720 Speaker 9: through this and it's okay, he has immunity, but we 2168 02:01:53,880 --> 02:01:56,520 Speaker 9: are saying that he wasn't trained properly. We're suing the 2169 02:01:57,200 --> 02:02:01,080 Speaker 9: people who train the ice officials. We're issuing FLEXI Center, 2170 02:02:01,120 --> 02:02:03,360 Speaker 9: who train officers, and we want to see what they're training. 2171 02:02:03,360 --> 02:02:05,120 Speaker 9: And in fact, if you wanted to do that, you 2172 02:02:05,160 --> 02:02:07,200 Speaker 9: could go to their website now and go Use of 2173 02:02:07,240 --> 02:02:10,040 Speaker 9: Force Training for FLEXI, which is the Federal Law Enforcement Center, 2174 02:02:10,240 --> 02:02:13,120 Speaker 9: and see exactly what their policies in training are when 2175 02:02:13,160 --> 02:02:15,160 Speaker 9: they come to use of force, even when dealing with 2176 02:02:15,280 --> 02:02:18,520 Speaker 9: stopping a vehicle. So we want them to have to 2177 02:02:18,560 --> 02:02:21,640 Speaker 9: give explanations. And if you've ever been involved in a 2178 02:02:21,720 --> 02:02:25,720 Speaker 9: court case, cases sometimes settle out of court, but then 2179 02:02:25,800 --> 02:02:28,720 Speaker 9: the process leading up to that settlement. One side in 2180 02:02:28,800 --> 02:02:31,960 Speaker 9: the other asks for discovery, because what they're trying to 2181 02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:34,480 Speaker 9: say is if this go to trial, we're going to 2182 02:02:34,560 --> 02:02:37,280 Speaker 9: reveal all of this. So during the discovery process they say, 2183 02:02:37,360 --> 02:02:39,920 Speaker 9: we want the training records for the officer who is 2184 02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:42,200 Speaker 9: involved in the shooting, because even if we can't sue him, 2185 02:02:42,240 --> 02:02:44,760 Speaker 9: we want to say the trainers that the academy didn't 2186 02:02:44,800 --> 02:02:47,600 Speaker 9: train them properly, that the training policies need to be trained, 2187 02:02:47,880 --> 02:02:51,080 Speaker 9: that the curriculum needs to be changed and it needs 2188 02:02:51,080 --> 02:02:54,120 Speaker 9: to be enhanced, that the de escalation policy needs to 2189 02:02:54,120 --> 02:02:57,000 Speaker 9: be changed. So there's other things that you get out 2190 02:02:57,120 --> 02:03:00,920 Speaker 9: of the legal process that doesn't ness necessarily into the 2191 02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:04,640 Speaker 9: outcome you want, but it may prevent this from happening. Again, 2192 02:03:04,920 --> 02:03:06,760 Speaker 9: that's the strategies you have to put in place. And 2193 02:03:06,800 --> 02:03:09,960 Speaker 9: I understand the anger. I really do understand the anger. 2194 02:03:10,200 --> 02:03:12,720 Speaker 9: There's no reason for someone to lose their life in 2195 02:03:12,760 --> 02:03:13,919 Speaker 9: this particular situation. 2196 02:03:14,280 --> 02:03:14,720 Speaker 10: And get me. 2197 02:03:14,800 --> 02:03:18,200 Speaker 9: I've trained police officers, I was a federal agent myself. 2198 02:03:19,040 --> 02:03:21,320 Speaker 9: There was no reason for this woman in leader or life. 2199 02:03:21,520 --> 02:03:23,680 Speaker 9: But at the very least take it a part step 2200 02:03:23,760 --> 02:03:26,800 Speaker 9: by step. Did he reassess after the first shot, what 2201 02:03:27,040 --> 02:03:29,320 Speaker 9: made him feel that she would steal a threat after 2202 02:03:29,400 --> 02:03:33,640 Speaker 9: the first shot. Now, even if they argue, which is 2203 02:03:33,880 --> 02:03:38,880 Speaker 9: an illogical argument if you're looking at the video presentation, 2204 02:03:39,000 --> 02:03:41,000 Speaker 9: but even if they argue that did he stop and 2205 02:03:41,080 --> 02:03:45,240 Speaker 9: assess consistent with use of force training and firearms training, 2206 02:03:45,600 --> 02:03:47,840 Speaker 9: after the first shot, what was the second shot for? 2207 02:03:48,200 --> 02:03:51,400 Speaker 9: What was the third shot for? Because accessive force cannot 2208 02:03:51,480 --> 02:03:54,840 Speaker 9: necessarily happen just when you take the first shot. If 2209 02:03:54,880 --> 02:03:56,840 Speaker 9: you take a second shot, you can say that the 2210 02:03:57,000 --> 02:04:00,160 Speaker 9: second shot was excessive, even if the first shot was. Yes, 2211 02:04:00,200 --> 02:04:02,080 Speaker 9: the fact, those are the kind of things that you 2212 02:04:02,160 --> 02:04:04,600 Speaker 9: can bring out in the kind of legal actions that 2213 02:04:04,680 --> 02:04:07,280 Speaker 9: you take. But again, it has to be more than anger. 2214 02:04:07,600 --> 02:04:10,200 Speaker 9: We've got all these lawyers. We have brilliant lawyers across 2215 02:04:10,280 --> 02:04:15,280 Speaker 9: this country who handle wrongful death lawsuits. We've seen it 2216 02:04:15,360 --> 02:04:19,400 Speaker 9: over and over again in cases, and they can pursue this. 2217 02:04:19,880 --> 02:04:22,640 Speaker 9: And if the court's pushed back, then at least try it. 2218 02:04:22,920 --> 02:04:26,240 Speaker 9: Try a strategic move rather than a rhetorical move and 2219 02:04:26,320 --> 02:04:27,600 Speaker 9: speeches and presentations. 2220 02:04:28,320 --> 02:04:29,720 Speaker 1: All right, we come from and break, let me come 2221 02:04:29,760 --> 02:04:31,640 Speaker 1: back though. We got a bunch of folks, got questions 2222 02:04:31,680 --> 02:04:34,040 Speaker 1: for you. But also my question to you is is 2223 02:04:34,120 --> 02:04:38,760 Speaker 1: that standard training the officers in front of an automobile 2224 02:04:38,800 --> 02:04:41,320 Speaker 1: in a car to stop the car. And two, how 2225 02:04:41,360 --> 02:04:43,880 Speaker 1: do you explain the fact that he fired he was 2226 02:04:43,880 --> 02:04:46,400 Speaker 1: shooting of this woman and he still had the ability 2227 02:04:46,440 --> 02:04:48,640 Speaker 1: to turn on his cell phone and take a picture 2228 02:04:48,760 --> 02:04:50,920 Speaker 1: of what was going on. I'll could you address that 2229 02:04:51,000 --> 02:04:53,200 Speaker 1: as well when we get back, Family, Youtubo can join 2230 02:04:53,240 --> 02:04:55,800 Speaker 1: our conversation with doctor Tyrone Powers.

Back to my question about training, because you 2262 02:06:23,520 --> 02:06:28,520 Speaker 1: said you trained officers. Yes, Is that a standard procedure 2263 02:06:28,560 --> 02:06:31,680 Speaker 1: for them to get in front of the car the 2264 02:06:31,800 --> 02:06:34,600 Speaker 1: vehicle instead of going to the side. And why why 2265 02:06:34,640 --> 02:06:37,120 Speaker 1: couldn't he shout out the tires or something to stop her? 2266 02:06:37,120 --> 02:06:38,840 Speaker 1: And why can't they just let it go? And Chaser, 2267 02:06:39,480 --> 02:06:42,480 Speaker 1: is that required that the headshot the kill shot and 2268 02:06:42,560 --> 02:06:43,080 Speaker 1: take her out? 2269 02:06:43,520 --> 02:06:46,560 Speaker 9: Your thoughts, well, two things. Know that you're absolutely right, 2270 02:06:46,720 --> 02:06:48,680 Speaker 9: and that's why I think it's so important that from 2271 02:06:48,840 --> 02:06:53,400 Speaker 9: a legal standpoint, we get a copy of their particular policies, 2272 02:06:53,400 --> 02:06:55,080 Speaker 9: and I think some of them you can get directly 2273 02:06:55,120 --> 02:06:59,000 Speaker 9: from Flexi's website. You can actually go for their useful policy. 2274 02:06:59,080 --> 02:07:00,640 Speaker 9: Not only do they have the use for a policy, 2275 02:07:00,680 --> 02:07:03,640 Speaker 9: they've had training videos on Flexi's website, which is the 2276 02:07:03,720 --> 02:07:07,320 Speaker 9: federal law enforcement agency that does the training and Georgia 2277 02:07:07,520 --> 02:07:11,440 Speaker 9: for a federal office including ICE. You're absolutely right. You 2278 02:07:11,520 --> 02:07:13,720 Speaker 9: don't stand in front of a vehicle. You de escalate 2279 02:07:13,800 --> 02:07:18,400 Speaker 9: the situation and remember each shot and is the use 2280 02:07:18,440 --> 02:07:22,240 Speaker 9: of force, So you can actually dissect them separately from 2281 02:07:22,280 --> 02:07:25,320 Speaker 9: the first shot to the second shot if you argue, 2282 02:07:25,520 --> 02:07:27,520 Speaker 9: which I don't think you can in this particular case 2283 02:07:27,680 --> 02:07:29,960 Speaker 9: based on what I've seen so far that the first 2284 02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:33,160 Speaker 9: shot was justified, then you have to justify the second shot, 2285 02:07:33,400 --> 02:07:36,800 Speaker 9: the third shot. You have to justify not immediately because 2286 02:07:36,920 --> 02:07:41,840 Speaker 9: training dictates that you immediately render medical aid, not necessarily 2287 02:07:41,960 --> 02:07:44,880 Speaker 9: wait for medical aid to come. But the police officers 2288 02:07:44,920 --> 02:07:49,200 Speaker 9: and the ice agents are trained to immediately administer medical aid. 2289 02:07:49,320 --> 02:07:52,880 Speaker 9: Did that happen or did it not happen? So to 2290 02:07:53,080 --> 02:07:56,760 Speaker 9: dissect this particular case step by step, from him being 2291 02:07:56,760 --> 02:07:58,840 Speaker 9: in front of the vehicle, from the shots e five, 2292 02:07:59,000 --> 02:08:02,640 Speaker 9: from whether they was the escalation techniques, whether he had 2293 02:08:02,720 --> 02:08:04,520 Speaker 9: to do it at the time that he did it. 2294 02:08:05,000 --> 02:08:07,120 Speaker 9: All of that needs to be dissected in a very 2295 02:08:07,400 --> 02:08:11,800 Speaker 9: logical and strategic way, even as we are emotionally engaged 2296 02:08:11,800 --> 02:08:15,280 Speaker 9: in the fact that someone lost their life. Remember, all policing, 2297 02:08:16,080 --> 02:08:19,720 Speaker 9: whether it's on the federal level, state, local level, is 2298 02:08:19,800 --> 02:08:22,320 Speaker 9: supposed to be interested in the sanctity of human life. 2299 02:08:22,360 --> 02:08:24,760 Speaker 9: So the number one thing is to preserve human life. 2300 02:08:25,080 --> 02:08:29,640 Speaker 9: And that preservation of human life applies for the police officer, 2301 02:08:30,200 --> 02:08:35,160 Speaker 9: the victim, or the perpetrator. So your objective in any 2302 02:08:35,400 --> 02:08:39,000 Speaker 9: confrontation or any engagement is a sanctity of human life. 2303 02:08:39,040 --> 02:08:42,520 Speaker 9: So it has to be extraordinary. Extreme situations for you 2304 02:08:42,640 --> 02:08:46,720 Speaker 9: to justify using deadly force and then using it multiple times, 2305 02:08:46,760 --> 02:08:49,280 Speaker 9: because remember, it's not just the first shot that whether 2306 02:08:49,360 --> 02:08:51,440 Speaker 9: that was deadly forced or not, it's whether the second 2307 02:08:51,480 --> 02:08:54,600 Speaker 9: shot was it deadly? Was that excessive? Did the first 2308 02:08:54,680 --> 02:08:57,240 Speaker 9: shot accomplish what you thought you were going to accomplish, 2309 02:08:57,320 --> 02:09:01,080 Speaker 9: If that's your justification, was the third shot necessary? Because 2310 02:09:01,160 --> 02:09:05,080 Speaker 9: police officers are trained to reassess to see if whatever 2311 02:09:05,240 --> 02:09:09,600 Speaker 9: actually they took initially mitigated the danger or the situation 2312 02:09:09,760 --> 02:09:12,600 Speaker 9: which they say that they perceived at the time they 2313 02:09:12,680 --> 02:09:15,960 Speaker 9: took that first set. And to answer your again, to 2314 02:09:16,040 --> 02:09:18,480 Speaker 9: go back to your first question more directly, Oh, you're 2315 02:09:18,520 --> 02:09:20,839 Speaker 9: absolutely not trained to be in front of a vehicle. 2316 02:09:21,320 --> 02:09:25,840 Speaker 9: You're absolutely trained and tactical measures and then there's crossfire. 2317 02:09:25,880 --> 02:09:29,080 Speaker 9: There's all contactical measures that could come out if you 2318 02:09:29,240 --> 02:09:32,080 Speaker 9: pursued this in a civil matter. Again, even if he 2319 02:09:32,240 --> 02:09:35,520 Speaker 9: has absolute immunity for the police officers. Okay, so now 2320 02:09:35,560 --> 02:09:37,680 Speaker 9: we want to talk about the agency. Now, we want 2321 02:09:37,720 --> 02:09:39,960 Speaker 9: to talk about the training. Now we want to talk 2322 02:09:40,000 --> 02:09:43,120 Speaker 9: about misfeasans and mouth seasons and the way they trained 2323 02:09:43,160 --> 02:09:44,880 Speaker 9: the particular office or the way they put them on 2324 02:09:44,960 --> 02:09:47,320 Speaker 9: the street. At the very least we were again to 2325 02:09:47,480 --> 02:09:51,360 Speaker 9: dissect this so beyond it's important to look at it 2326 02:09:51,480 --> 02:09:54,680 Speaker 9: as the tragedy of this particular incident. But beyond the 2327 02:09:54,800 --> 02:09:59,200 Speaker 9: tragedy of this incident, it's an opportunity to bring this 2328 02:09:59,320 --> 02:10:02,760 Speaker 9: information to the why the public for all police shootings 2329 02:10:03,080 --> 02:10:05,920 Speaker 9: and all engagement of this type, what should officers be doing? 2330 02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:08,440 Speaker 9: I mean, the Supreme Court ruled and Graham versus Connor 2331 02:10:08,800 --> 02:10:11,360 Speaker 9: on what has to happen and the use of force cases? 2332 02:10:11,400 --> 02:10:14,760 Speaker 9: They weren't they were talking about the case of Graham 2333 02:10:14,840 --> 02:10:17,600 Speaker 9: and Connor, but because it's the Supreme Court, they was 2334 02:10:17,680 --> 02:10:20,840 Speaker 9: addressing all use of force cases across the nations. So 2335 02:10:20,920 --> 02:10:24,800 Speaker 9: they're not governed by what the Department of Justice decide 2336 02:10:25,160 --> 02:10:28,840 Speaker 9: or whether the Attorney General decide. They're governed by case 2337 02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:33,919 Speaker 9: law in terms of when is forced excessive, necessary and justified. 2338 02:10:35,920 --> 02:10:37,600 Speaker 1: And one more question for it take the cause you 2339 02:10:37,680 --> 02:10:40,640 Speaker 1: mentioned too, they're supposed to render aid. Who was understood 2340 02:10:40,680 --> 02:10:43,120 Speaker 1: that some of the agents were there were blocking the 2341 02:10:43,440 --> 02:10:46,920 Speaker 1: emergency medical folks who were coming to help this woman. 2342 02:10:47,640 --> 02:10:51,000 Speaker 9: Is that's against policy? The policy says that you even 2343 02:10:51,080 --> 02:10:54,640 Speaker 9: if it's a perpetrator of a crime. I was said, 2344 02:10:54,680 --> 02:10:57,320 Speaker 9: as an expert witness in a casion Prince George's County, 2345 02:10:58,240 --> 02:11:01,720 Speaker 9: even if you were the officers to an individual to 2346 02:11:01,800 --> 02:11:04,080 Speaker 9: the ground and he ended up being paralyzed from the 2347 02:11:04,160 --> 02:11:08,280 Speaker 9: neck down, and even by policy of every agency, even 2348 02:11:08,320 --> 02:11:12,200 Speaker 9: by the Department of Justice best practices policy, after you 2349 02:11:12,400 --> 02:11:15,360 Speaker 9: take that action, because remember it is not your position 2350 02:11:15,520 --> 02:11:18,200 Speaker 9: to take a human life. Is your position to stop 2351 02:11:18,280 --> 02:11:21,680 Speaker 9: an action to preserve life. So immediately after you stop 2352 02:11:21,760 --> 02:11:25,280 Speaker 9: the threat or what you perceive as a threat or 2353 02:11:25,320 --> 02:11:28,440 Speaker 9: what you articulate was a threat, your job then is 2354 02:11:28,480 --> 02:11:31,120 Speaker 9: to preserve human life. The goal is a sanctity of 2355 02:11:31,240 --> 02:11:34,040 Speaker 9: human life. This is not a military operation. Remember we 2356 02:11:34,120 --> 02:11:36,760 Speaker 9: had the Posse Comma Tatis Act, which says we cannot 2357 02:11:36,840 --> 02:11:39,520 Speaker 9: use the military and the civilian population. The reason why 2358 02:11:39,640 --> 02:11:43,080 Speaker 9: that act was passed was for this very situation. Because 2359 02:11:43,360 --> 02:11:46,160 Speaker 9: police officers are supposed to be trained that the sanctity 2360 02:11:46,240 --> 02:11:50,360 Speaker 9: of human life is first and foremost, not necessarily putting 2361 02:11:50,440 --> 02:11:53,480 Speaker 9: someone down or killing someone. So even if you can 2362 02:11:53,560 --> 02:11:56,800 Speaker 9: say I need I used justified force because this was necessary. 2363 02:11:56,840 --> 02:12:01,800 Speaker 9: Immediately after that, once the threat is abated, you'll be quiet, 2364 02:12:01,920 --> 02:12:05,440 Speaker 9: and you are trained, is it is neglect of duty. 2365 02:12:05,520 --> 02:12:09,720 Speaker 9: You are trained to immediately render aid, not to You 2366 02:12:09,760 --> 02:12:12,400 Speaker 9: could call the EMTs, you can call for medical help, 2367 02:12:12,600 --> 02:12:14,520 Speaker 9: you can see if there's a doctor president, But the 2368 02:12:14,680 --> 02:12:18,760 Speaker 9: officer involved or the other officers there are required by 2369 02:12:18,880 --> 02:12:24,320 Speaker 9: their training and by policy to immediately administer aid because 2370 02:12:24,360 --> 02:12:28,280 Speaker 9: the goal is sanctity of human life. You can't be 2371 02:12:28,400 --> 02:12:32,120 Speaker 9: the judge jury and the executioner. Police officers get to 2372 02:12:32,200 --> 02:12:35,760 Speaker 9: make the arrest. There's a quow process, the court gets 2373 02:12:35,840 --> 02:12:36,760 Speaker 9: decide the sentence. 2374 02:12:36,880 --> 02:12:37,280 Speaker 6: You can't. 2375 02:12:37,680 --> 02:12:40,760 Speaker 9: You can't be the judge, jury and the executioner. Your 2376 02:12:40,920 --> 02:12:42,760 Speaker 9: goal is the sanctity of human life. 2377 02:12:43,600 --> 02:12:46,080 Speaker 1: All right? Interested tape on that for take I just 2378 02:12:46,160 --> 02:12:48,080 Speaker 1: want to mention this to somebody. You're sent me this information. 2379 02:12:48,200 --> 02:12:52,480 Speaker 1: Collins Suntana. It's just said that she's one of his relatives, 2380 02:12:52,520 --> 02:12:54,680 Speaker 1: and his family's gonna announce if they will cover all 2381 02:12:54,720 --> 02:12:57,400 Speaker 1: their funeral expenses because she's related to him. So he 2382 02:12:58,040 --> 02:13:00,160 Speaker 1: was doing a concert and he mentioned that that the 2383 02:13:00,200 --> 02:13:04,160 Speaker 1: woman who got shot uh in Minneapolis. So I mean, 2384 02:13:04,200 --> 02:13:06,200 Speaker 1: let's let's go take the calls now. After hearing that 2385 02:13:06,600 --> 02:13:08,800 Speaker 1: eight hundred and four or five zero seventy eight seven 2386 02:13:08,840 --> 02:13:11,360 Speaker 1: six money mics online one he's calling from Baltimore. Money 2387 02:13:11,400 --> 02:13:13,200 Speaker 1: banke your question for doctor Powers. 2388 02:13:15,240 --> 02:13:17,240 Speaker 12: Good morning, Carl, Good morning, doctor Powers. 2389 02:13:17,680 --> 02:13:18,200 Speaker 3: Good morning. 2390 02:13:19,560 --> 02:13:22,120 Speaker 12: All right, First Car, let me address your to something 2391 02:13:22,200 --> 02:13:24,200 Speaker 12: that you said. You said that Trump was gonna put 2392 02:13:24,240 --> 02:13:27,120 Speaker 12: sanctions on the Brick nations. First of all, the Brick 2393 02:13:27,280 --> 02:13:32,520 Speaker 12: nations just their combine, their combination of being Brazil, Russia, India, 2394 02:13:32,560 --> 02:13:36,400 Speaker 12: and China and African countries as well as Middle Eastern countries. 2395 02:13:37,080 --> 02:13:40,840 Speaker 12: They have a trading block that surpasses the US. So 2396 02:13:40,960 --> 02:13:44,320 Speaker 12: that nonsense that Trump is talking is strictly just nonsense. 2397 02:13:44,680 --> 02:13:47,560 Speaker 12: They can't enforce powers on them. They have the economic 2398 02:13:47,640 --> 02:13:50,720 Speaker 12: power to shut down the United States. They trade with 2399 02:13:50,880 --> 02:13:54,680 Speaker 12: more countries, more population than the US.

But doctor powers. Aren't most politicians lawyers? 2412 02:14:26,800 --> 02:14:31,320 Speaker 12: Doesn't the NAACP have lawyers? Doesn't the Democratic Party have lawyers? 2413 02:14:31,400 --> 02:14:35,760 Speaker 12: Doesn't the Urban League have lawyers? Doesn't the Congressional Black 2414 02:14:35,800 --> 02:14:37,120 Speaker 12: Caucus have lawyers? 2415 02:14:37,200 --> 02:14:37,360 Speaker 1: Now? 2416 02:14:37,960 --> 02:14:40,800 Speaker 12: I know you're not a lawyer, but how come all 2417 02:14:40,840 --> 02:14:44,920 Speaker 12: of these entities have trained lawyers but none of them 2418 02:14:45,000 --> 02:14:48,480 Speaker 12: have represented us on this simple fact before? With the 2419 02:14:48,880 --> 02:14:52,440 Speaker 12: murder Freddie Grave, with the murder George Floyd, Why haven't 2420 02:14:52,480 --> 02:14:55,120 Speaker 12: they brought this up? And why are they neglecting the 2421 02:14:55,200 --> 02:14:58,560 Speaker 12: black community? If they take money from the black community, 2422 02:14:58,800 --> 02:15:02,040 Speaker 12: they take votes from the black community. Can you answer that? 2423 02:15:02,160 --> 02:15:06,080 Speaker 12: Why they're will the blectorus what I call it? How 2424 02:15:06,160 --> 02:15:10,040 Speaker 12: come they haven't informed us that haven't enacted these policies themselves. 2425 02:15:10,600 --> 02:15:15,360 Speaker 12: Why haven't they brought lawsuits demanders our discovery in these cases? 2426 02:15:16,760 --> 02:15:17,040 Speaker 1: All right? 2427 02:15:18,000 --> 02:15:20,400 Speaker 9: A couple yeah, good, good question. A couple of things. 2428 02:15:20,440 --> 02:15:24,760 Speaker 9: Most politicians are not lawyers. And unfortunately, politicians get elected 2429 02:15:24,800 --> 02:15:27,640 Speaker 9: on their popularity, not on their substance, not on their ability, 2430 02:15:27,760 --> 02:15:30,760 Speaker 9: not on their content, And not on their understanding. So 2431 02:15:31,120 --> 02:15:33,280 Speaker 9: if someone is popular and they sound good to us, 2432 02:15:33,320 --> 02:15:36,160 Speaker 9: it's like church on Sunday morning. We're gonna say a man, 2433 02:15:36,240 --> 02:15:39,440 Speaker 9: whether we check their qualifications and background or not. But 2434 02:15:39,600 --> 02:15:45,000 Speaker 9: the organizations that you're talking about, the NAACP, the SELC, 2435 02:15:45,360 --> 02:15:48,440 Speaker 9: the other organizations that we're talking about, do have lawyers 2436 02:15:49,040 --> 02:15:52,640 Speaker 9: on staff. Secondly, I will say this, there have been 2437 02:15:52,720 --> 02:15:56,240 Speaker 9: individual lawsuits in these particular cases, and during the course 2438 02:15:56,320 --> 02:16:00,080 Speaker 9: of those individual lawsuits because in some of them, so 2439 02:16:00,200 --> 02:16:02,360 Speaker 9: even some of the ones you've just mentioned, served as 2440 02:16:02,360 --> 02:16:05,760 Speaker 9: an expert witness during trial, they have brought out these 2441 02:16:05,840 --> 02:16:08,320 Speaker 9: issues because every time I do a report as an 2442 02:16:08,360 --> 02:16:12,560 Speaker 9: expert witness, I'd go to the policies, the practices, the training, 2443 02:16:13,040 --> 02:16:15,560 Speaker 9: so on and so forth. I get the discovery material. 2444 02:16:15,920 --> 02:16:19,920 Speaker 9: It is brought out in individual cases, but it's not publicized. 2445 02:16:19,960 --> 02:16:22,520 Speaker 9: That's why that's again I go back to the significance 2446 02:16:22,560 --> 02:16:26,320 Speaker 9: of the Carl Nelson Show. It's not publicized because, for example, 2447 02:16:26,400 --> 02:16:29,520 Speaker 9: if I go to trial, I was the expert witness 2448 02:16:29,560 --> 02:16:31,760 Speaker 9: on the Korean Games case in Baltimore County. If I 2449 02:16:31,800 --> 02:16:34,320 Speaker 9: go to trial on that particular case, and I think 2450 02:16:34,360 --> 02:16:36,800 Speaker 9: it was Ken Ravenol and Jawnd de Gordy was the 2451 02:16:36,879 --> 02:16:40,240 Speaker 9: internal in that case. And the outcome is what it comes. 2452 02:16:40,320 --> 02:16:42,720 Speaker 9: The jury found that the police officers were wrong for 2453 02:16:42,800 --> 02:16:45,680 Speaker 9: shooting her and the wrong for debt. The citizens still 2454 02:16:45,800 --> 02:16:48,600 Speaker 9: want know the particulars of the case, the policies that 2455 02:16:48,720 --> 02:16:51,080 Speaker 9: I reviewed, so on and so forth, unless they go 2456 02:16:51,200 --> 02:16:52,880 Speaker 9: look at the case now. When I served as an 2457 02:16:52,879 --> 02:16:56,560 Speaker 9: expert witness for the anton Black case, which became Black 2458 02:16:56,720 --> 02:16:59,960 Speaker 9: Laws in the state of Maryland, the ACLU not only 2459 02:17:00,160 --> 02:17:04,320 Speaker 9: me publish my expert report, so you walking through just 2460 02:17:04,400 --> 02:17:07,840 Speaker 9: what I'm walking through now, when it's forced necessary, how 2461 02:17:07,920 --> 02:17:10,960 Speaker 9: is it justified? But they published that whole report on 2462 02:17:11,080 --> 02:17:16,000 Speaker 9: their website and they actually had me and evaluate the 2463 02:17:16,080 --> 02:17:18,960 Speaker 9: police departments use of force policy for the three departments 2464 02:17:19,000 --> 02:17:22,520 Speaker 9: that were involved and the death of Antoine Black, and 2465 02:17:22,680 --> 02:17:26,040 Speaker 9: then they put up the recommendations that we made in 2466 02:17:26,120 --> 02:17:29,800 Speaker 9: regards to training the USU force policy on the ACLU website, 2467 02:17:29,879 --> 02:17:33,080 Speaker 9: so it is out there, the acl you have published 2468 02:17:33,879 --> 02:17:37,360 Speaker 9: the recommendations. I rewrote the use of force policy for 2469 02:17:37,440 --> 02:17:40,200 Speaker 9: the Henderson, NEVDA Police Department. I was hired by judge 2470 02:17:40,200 --> 02:17:44,000 Speaker 9: in Philadelphia to reevaluate the use of force policies for 2471 02:17:44,080 --> 02:17:48,000 Speaker 9: the Department of Philadelphia. But it's an individual cases, and 2472 02:17:48,600 --> 02:17:51,800 Speaker 9: the average citizen don't know whether they're up on websites 2473 02:17:52,120 --> 02:17:54,840 Speaker 9: or don't know there exist or haven't been walked through it, 2474 02:17:55,080 --> 02:17:58,720 Speaker 9: unless they've been part of a jury, or unless they 2475 02:17:58,760 --> 02:18:01,680 Speaker 9: are the families or the end of vigil who is 2476 02:18:02,160 --> 02:18:06,240 Speaker 9: filing a suit for wrongful death or accessive force, or 2477 02:18:06,520 --> 02:18:09,080 Speaker 9: unless the lawyers decide to publish it, or less one 2478 02:18:09,160 --> 02:18:12,280 Speaker 9: of the organizations that you talk about decide to publish it. 2479 02:18:12,440 --> 02:18:14,959 Speaker 9: But it does come out in discovery in these cases, 2480 02:18:15,000 --> 02:18:16,840 Speaker 9: and there have been many of these cases which have 2481 02:18:17,000 --> 02:18:19,640 Speaker 9: gone to civil lawsuits. Some of them have been settled 2482 02:18:19,680 --> 02:18:22,440 Speaker 9: out of court. But during the course of trials, all 2483 02:18:22,520 --> 02:18:25,880 Speaker 9: of that information that I just talked about, you know, 2484 02:18:25,959 --> 02:18:29,200 Speaker 9: the fact that police officers required to reassess after each 2485 02:18:29,560 --> 02:18:31,640 Speaker 9: part of the use of force that they are required 2486 02:18:31,720 --> 02:18:34,959 Speaker 9: to use the escalation techniques. First, they as to require 2487 02:18:35,080 --> 02:18:37,320 Speaker 9: to say, why do we need that many offers to 2488 02:18:37,400 --> 02:18:38,760 Speaker 9: hold them down? Why do we put them in a 2489 02:18:38,840 --> 02:18:43,240 Speaker 9: prone position knowing about position or affixiation? Why was that necessary? 2490 02:18:43,600 --> 02:18:45,920 Speaker 9: All of that does come out during trial. All of 2491 02:18:46,000 --> 02:18:49,000 Speaker 9: that is in the trial transcripts and in some cases, 2492 02:18:49,080 --> 02:18:51,200 Speaker 9: like in the case of the ACLU, they do publish 2493 02:18:51,240 --> 02:18:53,800 Speaker 9: it on their website. And again they published my entire 2494 02:18:54,280 --> 02:18:57,320 Speaker 9: expert report in the Antoine Black case when he was 2495 02:18:58,160 --> 02:19:00,560 Speaker 9: when he lost his life with three different agencies on 2496 02:19:00,600 --> 02:19:02,920 Speaker 9: the Eastern Shore, and why we have Black law. 2497 02:19:03,040 --> 02:19:06,400 Speaker 1: Now, all right, we'll come up on a break. So 2498 02:19:06,520 --> 02:19:10,280 Speaker 1: let me ask this question. Yeah, let me ask this question. 2499 02:19:10,360 --> 02:19:13,200 Speaker 1: Four away from the top of real quick. The sheriff 2500 02:19:13,240 --> 02:19:15,520 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia said that any of the I sations come 2501 02:19:15,640 --> 02:19:19,120 Speaker 1: and act inappropriately, or she's going to sue them, or 2502 02:19:19,160 --> 02:19:21,760 Speaker 1: she's going to arrest them, and she's incurred the wrath 2503 02:19:21,840 --> 02:19:25,440 Speaker 1: of the White House. She has just done her thing 2504 02:19:25,600 --> 02:19:28,080 Speaker 1: without you know, making a proclamation of your thoughts. 2505 02:19:29,000 --> 02:19:31,640 Speaker 9: Well, I think I think either one is okay, because listen, 2506 02:19:31,720 --> 02:19:34,800 Speaker 9: when police officer's she's ahead of a police agency, when 2507 02:19:34,840 --> 02:19:38,040 Speaker 9: police officers are talking to general citizens. I think even 2508 02:19:38,120 --> 02:19:40,879 Speaker 9: even Bates that this PAS attorney here in Baltimore say 2509 02:19:40,920 --> 02:19:43,040 Speaker 9: if you do this, this is going to happen. So 2510 02:19:43,120 --> 02:19:47,000 Speaker 9: I don't think it's it's out of out of order 2511 02:19:47,120 --> 02:19:50,320 Speaker 9: for her to say, this is my plan, this is 2512 02:19:50,440 --> 02:19:52,720 Speaker 9: the policy we're putting in place to deal with these 2513 02:19:52,760 --> 02:19:57,600 Speaker 9: particular incidents, especially as citizens are being killed or harmed 2514 02:19:57,720 --> 02:19:59,560 Speaker 9: or so on and so forth. We're going to make 2515 02:19:59,640 --> 02:20:04,040 Speaker 9: you follow the law in this particular jurisdiction. There's nothing 2516 02:20:04,080 --> 02:20:04,880 Speaker 9: wrong with her saying that. 2517 02:20:04,959 --> 02:20:05,080 Speaker 12: Now. 2518 02:20:05,160 --> 02:20:10,320 Speaker 9: She may definitely get the backlash, but you know, from 2519 02:20:10,400 --> 02:20:14,760 Speaker 9: the Trump administration. But at some point, and we can 2520 02:20:14,840 --> 02:20:17,640 Speaker 9: talk about this further during this conversation, we have to 2521 02:20:17,720 --> 02:20:19,640 Speaker 9: not be afraid of the backlash. I think what we're 2522 02:20:19,680 --> 02:20:22,000 Speaker 9: hearing now with the silence of the Congression of Black 2523 02:20:22,080 --> 02:20:25,680 Speaker 9: Caucus on these issues, everything from the international issues from 2524 02:20:25,760 --> 02:20:29,000 Speaker 9: Venezuela and Nigeria, the Dominican Republic and all the other 2525 02:20:29,120 --> 02:20:32,760 Speaker 9: threats that Trump is making, the silence is remarkable. Remember, 2526 02:20:32,879 --> 02:20:36,680 Speaker 9: and again I say this, Carl, and I know you've 2527 02:20:37,000 --> 02:20:38,720 Speaker 9: got a number of shows lined up. Was we had 2528 02:20:38,760 --> 02:20:42,400 Speaker 9: to doctor Martin Luther King's birthday. Doctor King say injustice 2529 02:20:42,600 --> 02:20:45,200 Speaker 9: anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, and he said 2530 02:20:45,280 --> 02:20:48,840 Speaker 9: in the end, I won't remember the actions of my enemies, 2531 02:20:49,160 --> 02:20:52,680 Speaker 9: but I will remember the silence of my friends, the 2532 02:20:52,800 --> 02:20:55,080 Speaker 9: people who should have said something, even if there were 2533 02:20:55,160 --> 02:20:58,360 Speaker 9: consequences and replication. We're not a people. All of our 2534 02:20:58,879 --> 02:21:01,360 Speaker 9: leaders that we talk about, whether it was Marcus Garvey 2535 02:21:01,520 --> 02:21:04,320 Speaker 9: or w. E. B. Du Boors or the honorable Elijah 2536 02:21:04,360 --> 02:21:06,720 Speaker 9: Muhammad or Malcolm Max and Martin Luther King. These people 2537 02:21:06,800 --> 02:21:11,080 Speaker 9: face consequences and repercussions, but standing up for right right. 2538 02:21:11,120 --> 02:21:12,840 Speaker 1: I le's right there, Dodor Powers. You got to step 2539 02:21:12,879 --> 02:21:15,240 Speaker 1: aside so our stations can identify themselves down the line 2540 02:21:15,280 --> 02:21:17,040 Speaker 1: per the FCC.

Doctor Tyrone Powers, 2559 02:22:13,920 --> 02:22:16,560 Speaker 18: could you just confirmed with me? So I come with 2560 02:22:16,720 --> 02:22:20,600 Speaker 18: receipts for Renee Nicole good. I come with the receipts 2561 02:22:20,640 --> 02:22:24,920 Speaker 18: of the policies the Department of Homeland Security ICE policies. 2562 02:22:25,440 --> 02:22:30,560 Speaker 18: They have a procedure that's known as an ex anti procedure. 2563 02:22:31,240 --> 02:22:34,280 Speaker 18: It's usually in a lot of high risk, particular types 2564 02:22:34,320 --> 02:22:38,880 Speaker 18: of jobs, nuclear operator for instance. Instead of them jumping 2565 02:22:39,000 --> 02:22:42,640 Speaker 18: up in an emergency and reacting and being gun ho 2566 02:22:43,320 --> 02:22:46,120 Speaker 18: there is a procedure in place that keeps them kind 2567 02:22:46,120 --> 02:22:49,040 Speaker 18: of in checking in line and keeps them out of 2568 02:22:49,360 --> 02:22:52,560 Speaker 18: harm's way and keeps the operation out of harm's way. 2569 02:22:52,600 --> 02:22:56,120 Speaker 18: And in this particular situation, all the policies show that 2570 02:22:56,360 --> 02:22:59,720 Speaker 18: this officer should have not stood in the way to 2571 02:23:00,000 --> 02:23:04,320 Speaker 18: create a deadly for situation, and it also states that 2572 02:23:04,440 --> 02:23:08,080 Speaker 18: he should have de escalated to avoid that type of situation. 2573 02:23:09,000 --> 02:23:12,040 Speaker 18: So all of this shows that he truly went against 2574 02:23:12,080 --> 02:23:16,280 Speaker 18: the policy. And now, besides the ex anti policies that 2575 02:23:16,360 --> 02:23:19,680 Speaker 18: are in place, this really comes at a higher level. 2576 02:23:19,800 --> 02:23:23,480 Speaker 18: This comes from what they known as the top down component, 2577 02:23:23,879 --> 02:23:28,000 Speaker 18: because the president is pushing Ice and pushing his Department 2578 02:23:28,040 --> 02:23:33,959 Speaker 18: of Homeland Security secretary to be this you know, brute force, 2579 02:23:34,360 --> 02:23:37,920 Speaker 18: you know, this gestapo on the people. Yes, I agree 2580 02:23:38,000 --> 02:23:42,480 Speaker 18: that there should be some rounding up and getting you know, 2581 02:23:42,680 --> 02:23:46,200 Speaker 18: these criminals off the streets, including those who are legally here. 2582 02:23:46,600 --> 02:23:47,120 Speaker 9: I'm one of the. 2583 02:23:47,160 --> 02:23:49,960 Speaker 18: Biggest persons on my radio show that talk about MS 2584 02:23:50,040 --> 02:23:53,320 Speaker 18: thirteen and the removal of MS thirteen because I saw 2585 02:23:53,440 --> 02:23:56,880 Speaker 18: the threat early years ago here in Baltimore City with 2586 02:23:57,040 --> 02:24:00,680 Speaker 18: several incidences that jumped out that the officer were reporting 2587 02:24:00,760 --> 02:24:03,280 Speaker 18: to us that were gang related with MS thirteen, and 2588 02:24:03,280 --> 02:24:05,320 Speaker 18: I was saying, well, how could they possibly be here 2589 02:24:05,720 --> 02:24:08,640 Speaker 18: unless they were coming up here illegally, and so yes, 2590 02:24:08,800 --> 02:24:11,440 Speaker 18: round them up, I agreed, but they shouldn't be this 2591 02:24:11,560 --> 02:24:15,040 Speaker 18: gstopo force that is violating rights and in some cases 2592 02:24:15,360 --> 02:24:16,280 Speaker 18: killing citizens. 2593 02:24:16,360 --> 02:24:19,440 Speaker 7: She was murdered, and I don't know. 2594 02:24:19,520 --> 02:24:22,880 Speaker 18: How officers could argue against me, and I apologize to 2595 02:24:22,959 --> 02:24:26,840 Speaker 18: my friend, Officer Action Jackson, who served over twenty years 2596 02:24:26,879 --> 02:24:29,440 Speaker 18: in Baltimore City. I apologized to them, you know, because 2597 02:24:29,440 --> 02:24:31,360 Speaker 18: we got into a heated argument but I'm glad that 2598 02:24:31,440 --> 02:24:35,880 Speaker 18: there's officers stepping up, and even those and different levels 2599 02:24:36,680 --> 02:24:39,080 Speaker 18: of law enforcement that are stepping up to say that 2600 02:24:39,240 --> 02:24:41,800 Speaker 18: this was wrong, that this was not justified, and that 2601 02:24:41,959 --> 02:24:44,440 Speaker 18: this officer's actions could have been different. And I think 2602 02:24:44,480 --> 02:24:47,519 Speaker 18: that he was suffering from what they call trauma toophobia, 2603 02:24:48,080 --> 02:24:51,160 Speaker 18: trauma tophobia. He just had an incident the year previous 2604 02:24:51,520 --> 02:24:54,680 Speaker 18: in that same area, I believe, in that same city, 2605 02:24:55,120 --> 02:24:57,840 Speaker 18: you know, where he was dragged by a vehicle. So 2606 02:24:58,280 --> 02:25:01,800 Speaker 18: he could have still been technically dealing with that mentally, 2607 02:25:02,400 --> 02:25:04,880 Speaker 18: and it could have you know, put him at risk 2608 02:25:04,959 --> 02:25:06,760 Speaker 18: and put the public at risk because he was still 2609 02:25:06,840 --> 02:25:08,880 Speaker 18: dealing with the fact that he was an officer that 2610 02:25:09,000 --> 02:25:11,920 Speaker 18: was traumatized on the job for that very same thing, 2611 02:25:12,160 --> 02:25:15,480 Speaker 18: a vehicle coming at him. So, you know, you know, 2612 02:25:15,560 --> 02:25:19,320 Speaker 18: I'm sorry for the loss of renaming Nicole Good and 2613 02:25:19,920 --> 02:25:22,520 Speaker 18: hopefully this is a learning lesson. But this starts at 2614 02:25:22,560 --> 02:25:25,280 Speaker 18: the top. This starts at the president. The president is 2615 02:25:26,000 --> 02:25:28,879 Speaker 18: the main commander in chief that is pushing the federal 2616 02:25:28,959 --> 02:25:32,960 Speaker 18: agencies to be aggressive like this and to violate constitutional laws. 2617 02:25:33,480 --> 02:25:35,400 Speaker 1: All right, let's give me a chance for thanks station. 2618 02:25:36,160 --> 02:25:38,520 Speaker 9: No, I don't disagree with him. I don't disagree with 2619 02:25:38,600 --> 02:25:41,200 Speaker 9: him at all. And then during the time that I 2620 02:25:41,360 --> 02:25:43,920 Speaker 9: served as a special agent with the FBI, I worked 2621 02:25:46,640 --> 02:25:49,200 Speaker 9: organized crime and international crime. And I know they are 2622 02:25:49,200 --> 02:25:51,880 Speaker 9: people here in the United States or even threatened their 2623 02:25:51,920 --> 02:25:54,360 Speaker 9: families are threatened back home by groups who say either 2624 02:25:54,440 --> 02:25:57,240 Speaker 9: you give us a portion. To be quite frank with you, 2625 02:25:57,320 --> 02:26:00,440 Speaker 9: there was a store in Annapolis, Maryland where the owner 2626 02:26:00,440 --> 02:26:03,840 Speaker 9: of the store had to keep paying these members off 2627 02:26:03,920 --> 02:26:06,039 Speaker 9: because his family was back in one of the Latin 2628 02:26:06,040 --> 02:26:08,560 Speaker 9: American countries and they were threatened to harm them back there. 2629 02:26:08,879 --> 02:26:12,000 Speaker 9: I don't think that. I think that initially, when this 2630 02:26:12,240 --> 02:26:15,080 Speaker 9: president indicated that he was going at the violent criminals 2631 02:26:15,120 --> 02:26:17,680 Speaker 9: and murderers and rapists, people were okay. But I think 2632 02:26:17,720 --> 02:26:21,279 Speaker 9: what you're seeing now is something totally different and outside 2633 02:26:21,360 --> 02:26:23,160 Speaker 9: the realm of that. And even all of that has 2634 02:26:23,200 --> 02:26:24,880 Speaker 9: to be done in the course of the law. And 2635 02:26:24,959 --> 02:26:28,240 Speaker 9: there's no police officer who went into policing for the 2636 02:26:28,400 --> 02:26:31,840 Speaker 9: right reasons to serve and protect, to preserve the sanctity 2637 02:26:31,920 --> 02:26:36,960 Speaker 9: of human life, to make communities safer, that can justify 2638 02:26:38,160 --> 02:26:40,320 Speaker 9: after looking at this particular case, this is just on 2639 02:26:40,400 --> 02:26:42,520 Speaker 9: the face of it, looking at the details of this case, 2640 02:26:42,800 --> 02:26:45,520 Speaker 9: it can justify any action like this. You can't just 2641 02:26:45,560 --> 02:26:47,320 Speaker 9: go out and shoot anybody. That's not why you join 2642 02:26:47,360 --> 02:26:49,560 Speaker 9: the police. But this is not You're not any war 2643 02:26:49,720 --> 02:26:51,840 Speaker 9: zone like the military. Again, that's why I mentioned the 2644 02:26:52,200 --> 02:26:57,680 Speaker 9: posse comma tarti sac and I think that again these 2645 02:26:57,760 --> 02:27:00,240 Speaker 9: agencies and not just these agencies, because I mean, let 2646 02:27:00,280 --> 02:27:02,640 Speaker 9: me just say this, and I'm not being critical, but 2647 02:27:02,720 --> 02:27:06,240 Speaker 9: I'm giving solutions as we always tried to do. When 2648 02:27:06,280 --> 02:27:09,440 Speaker 9: I come on call all these megachurches, you've got to 2649 02:27:09,560 --> 02:27:12,520 Speaker 9: say something, you know, Doctor King. Again, all of them 2650 02:27:12,520 --> 02:27:14,640 Speaker 9: are going to be celebrating Doctor King coming up. And 2651 02:27:14,720 --> 02:27:18,600 Speaker 9: Doctor King said, at some point, silence become betrayal. Remember 2652 02:27:18,760 --> 02:27:21,920 Speaker 9: it was doctor Kings And I know every year on 2653 02:27:22,000 --> 02:27:23,879 Speaker 9: his birthday we played that I have a dream speech 2654 02:27:23,959 --> 02:27:26,760 Speaker 9: that was in nineteen sixty three. He lived all the 2655 02:27:26,800 --> 02:27:31,520 Speaker 9: way to nineteen sixty eight. Doctor King said that even 2656 02:27:31,560 --> 02:27:33,879 Speaker 9: when he was talking about the Vietnam War, talking about 2657 02:27:33,879 --> 02:27:36,240 Speaker 9: what's happening in Venezuela, and he wasn't even talking about 2658 02:27:36,240 --> 02:27:39,320 Speaker 9: the leaders. He was talking about the actions. And he said, 2659 02:27:39,560 --> 02:27:42,360 Speaker 9: imagine a pastor or a preacher from a por pit 2660 02:27:42,760 --> 02:27:45,119 Speaker 9: said to United States that we are criminals in that war. 2661 02:27:45,160 --> 02:27:48,000 Speaker 9: We've committed more war crimes than any nation in the world. 2662 02:27:48,240 --> 02:27:51,440 Speaker 9: And he said, I love this country too much. He said, 2663 02:27:51,480 --> 02:27:53,560 Speaker 9: God didn't call America to do what he's doing in 2664 02:27:53,600 --> 02:27:57,680 Speaker 9: the world today. Imagine if we had more pastors, mega pastors, 2665 02:27:57,720 --> 02:27:59,720 Speaker 9: the ones we see on television, the one we see 2666 02:27:59,720 --> 02:28:02,360 Speaker 9: in church in our community, standing in a poor pit 2667 02:28:02,480 --> 02:28:06,280 Speaker 9: and says this is ungodly, this is wrong. Imagine we 2668 02:28:06,360 --> 02:28:11,880 Speaker 9: don't give doctor King enough credit. Imagine a pastor by 2669 02:28:12,000 --> 02:28:14,920 Speaker 9: doctor King being willing to say that this country is 2670 02:28:15,000 --> 02:28:17,680 Speaker 9: involved in criminal acts. You want to know why he 2671 02:28:17,840 --> 02:28:23,199 Speaker 9: was assassinated. Imagine that kind of urge, strength, urge and wisdom. Again, 2672 02:28:23,240 --> 02:28:25,960 Speaker 9: we don't even talk about him saying that when he 2673 02:28:26,040 --> 02:28:28,680 Speaker 9: said that the Black Church had more had a zeo 2674 02:28:28,800 --> 02:28:31,359 Speaker 9: for God, not according to knowledge, they had more religion 2675 02:28:31,440 --> 02:28:33,120 Speaker 9: in their hands and feet than in their heart and 2676 02:28:33,160 --> 02:28:35,200 Speaker 9: their heads. He said, as a Belli and Christians in 2677 02:28:35,240 --> 02:28:37,000 Speaker 9: the world, And if a bell and Christians stood up, 2678 02:28:37,120 --> 02:28:38,960 Speaker 9: we will put a stop through all of this stuff 2679 02:28:38,959 --> 02:28:40,959 Speaker 9: we're dealing with. They're not going to play that speech 2680 02:28:41,000 --> 02:28:42,960 Speaker 9: on doctor Martin Luther king birthday. They're gonna play that 2681 02:28:43,000 --> 02:28:45,680 Speaker 9: I have a dream speech, not as he matured and 2682 02:28:45,760 --> 02:28:48,840 Speaker 9: begin to say, and he told his own organization that 2683 02:28:49,000 --> 02:28:52,600 Speaker 9: you never measure your morality by the bottom line on 2684 02:28:52,720 --> 02:28:55,959 Speaker 9: your checkbook just because the federal government won't give you money, 2685 02:28:56,080 --> 02:28:57,880 Speaker 9: or you won't get money for donors, and you won't 2686 02:28:57,920 --> 02:29:00,280 Speaker 9: get money for this. That's not the business that we're in. 2687 02:29:00,800 --> 02:29:03,560 Speaker 9: That's the Doctor King who would assassinated at thirty nine 2688 02:29:03,680 --> 02:29:06,000 Speaker 9: years of age. That's what he was saying. That's the 2689 02:29:06,040 --> 02:29:08,960 Speaker 9: speeches they won't play after the nineteen sixty three speech. 2690 02:29:09,240 --> 02:29:12,160 Speaker 9: But here's my point. My point is that what is 2691 02:29:12,320 --> 02:29:17,360 Speaker 9: happening across this nation and across this world requires a 2692 02:29:17,520 --> 02:29:21,760 Speaker 9: concerted effort by all the black churches. Especially you can 2693 02:29:21,800 --> 02:29:24,520 Speaker 9: go outside the black churches, because we have a history 2694 02:29:24,640 --> 02:29:27,280 Speaker 9: of that. We have a history of realizing they were 2695 02:29:27,320 --> 02:29:31,320 Speaker 9: going to be consequences and repercussions. Again, whether it's Birmingham, Alabama, 2696 02:29:31,560 --> 02:29:36,920 Speaker 9: or Selma, Alabama, or Montgomery, Alabama or Chicago, Illinoi's we 2697 02:29:37,000 --> 02:29:40,000 Speaker 9: have a history of saying that the only way we 2698 02:29:40,160 --> 02:29:42,680 Speaker 9: put a stop to this is to speak up on it. Again. 2699 02:29:43,400 --> 02:29:47,560 Speaker 9: Back to doctor King. At some point, silence becomes betrayal. 2700 02:29:47,920 --> 02:29:50,880 Speaker 9: It's no longer nice, it's no longer that's not our battle, 2701 02:29:50,920 --> 02:29:53,080 Speaker 9: or I'm not getting involved in that, because Doctor King 2702 02:29:53,160 --> 02:29:58,040 Speaker 9: said injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. He said, 2703 02:29:58,080 --> 02:30:00,760 Speaker 9: at some point, silence, whether it's from the Black Church, 2704 02:30:01,040 --> 02:30:04,240 Speaker 9: whether it's from our fraternities and our sororities, whether it's 2705 02:30:04,280 --> 02:30:08,040 Speaker 9: from the NAACP or these other organizations, whether it's from 2706 02:30:08,080 --> 02:30:11,800 Speaker 9: the Congressional Black Caucus or any other entity, at some point, 2707 02:30:12,440 --> 02:30:16,400 Speaker 9: silence becomes betrayal. And again back to his statement that 2708 02:30:17,520 --> 02:30:20,160 Speaker 9: in the end, I won't remember the actions of my enemies, 2709 02:30:20,280 --> 02:30:22,800 Speaker 9: but I will remember the silence of my friends. As 2710 02:30:22,840 --> 02:30:23,520 Speaker 9: I went through that. 2711 02:30:24,520 --> 02:30:25,720 Speaker 1: Ten and a half of the top thing, I got 2712 02:30:25,760 --> 02:30:27,640 Speaker 1: a bunch of folk from across the country, got questions 2713 02:30:27,680 --> 02:30:30,680 Speaker 1: for you, Doctor Powers, and let's go to Cleveland truth Tellers. 2714 02:30:30,720 --> 02:30:32,840 Speaker 1: There he's on line three, Grand Rising Truth telling you 2715 02:30:32,840 --> 02:30:34,119 Speaker 1: a question for Doctor Powers. 2716 02:30:35,000 --> 02:30:40,240 Speaker 15: Grant Grand Rising quasy, Doctor Powers, Doctor Powers.

But let 2722 02:30:52,320 --> 02:30:54,800 Speaker 15: me say this, Doctor Powers, I love all the information 2723 02:30:54,879 --> 02:30:56,280 Speaker 15: you're giving out.

They allowed the sexual offender to 2731 02:31:22,280 --> 02:31:25,199 Speaker 15: stalk me for the last five years. Anyway, I filed 2732 02:31:25,240 --> 02:31:29,680 Speaker 15: a lawsuit in the county court. They removed it, unknown 2733 02:31:29,720 --> 02:31:31,880 Speaker 15: to my knowledge, to the federal court. I didn't know 2734 02:31:31,920 --> 02:31:34,280 Speaker 15: they removed it to the federal court until a young 2735 02:31:34,360 --> 02:31:37,200 Speaker 15: brother came to my house, knocked on my door. He 2736 02:31:37,400 --> 02:31:40,279 Speaker 15: filed a lawsuit against the same judge and the Cleanton police, 2737 02:31:40,520 --> 02:31:43,840 Speaker 15: and he wanted to combine federal lawsuits. I say, yeah, man, 2738 02:31:43,920 --> 02:31:45,959 Speaker 15: let me check on it. You know, we'd get together, 2739 02:31:45,959 --> 02:31:47,320 Speaker 15: we would talk so forth and so on. But I 2740 02:31:47,360 --> 02:31:49,720 Speaker 15: got to do my homework. Anyway, I talked to the 2741 02:31:49,760 --> 02:31:52,080 Speaker 15: federal court. They told me I had to file the 2742 02:31:52,440 --> 02:31:55,040 Speaker 15: many complaint. I fired a many complaint two or three 2743 02:31:55,080 --> 02:31:59,440 Speaker 15: weeks ago. I just got the decision back Friday. They 2744 02:31:59,560 --> 02:32:03,800 Speaker 15: died the case. And then the judge even wrote, pursuing 2745 02:32:03,920 --> 02:32:06,680 Speaker 15: the twenty eight USC so forth so on, that an 2746 02:32:06,720 --> 02:32:09,920 Speaker 15: appeal from decision cannot be taken in good safe. See. 2747 02:32:10,200 --> 02:32:12,920 Speaker 15: The problem is we don't have people that stand up 2748 02:32:12,959 --> 02:32:16,000 Speaker 15: for us, like you say, silences betrayal. I've been betrayed. 2749 02:32:16,040 --> 02:32:18,400 Speaker 15: That's why I can't vote no more, Doctor Powers. I 2750 02:32:18,480 --> 02:32:21,760 Speaker 15: can't get in this. Our own people man abuse us, 2751 02:32:22,080 --> 02:32:24,920 Speaker 15: take advantage of us, They sell us out, they offer 2752 02:32:25,000 --> 02:32:27,440 Speaker 15: us up to these white folks in his criminal justice system. 2753 02:32:27,640 --> 02:32:30,480 Speaker 15: I've been an innocent man, been pleaded in my case. 2754 02:32:30,800 --> 02:32:34,320 Speaker 15: I've had black lawyers steal my money, paying thousands of dollars. 2755 02:32:34,760 --> 02:32:37,320 Speaker 15: One black lawyer wouldn't either meet with me no more. 2756 02:32:37,360 --> 02:32:40,680 Speaker 15: After I paid him. His white secretary started dogging me out. 2757 02:32:40,959 --> 02:32:44,640 Speaker 1: The man, Yeah, because a bunch of folks want to 2758 02:32:44,680 --> 02:32:45,080 Speaker 1: talk to him. 2759 02:32:45,920 --> 02:32:48,000 Speaker 15: I want to say, is doctor Powers? Number one do 2760 02:32:48,120 --> 02:32:52,360 Speaker 15: you teach a course? And number two? How is it 2761 02:32:52,440 --> 02:32:55,600 Speaker 15: that black folks gonna move forward when when we betrayed 2762 02:32:55,600 --> 02:32:58,080 Speaker 15: by our own folks, and our own folks are scared 2763 02:32:58,080 --> 02:33:00,520 Speaker 15: to get involved. We got black folks like me and 2764 02:33:00,680 --> 02:33:03,720 Speaker 15: poor black folks filing federal lawsuits don't have no idea 2765 02:33:03,800 --> 02:33:06,640 Speaker 15: what they're doing because we're trying to fight for our sales. 2766 02:33:06,959 --> 02:33:07,560 Speaker 15: Thank you man. 2767 02:33:09,800 --> 02:33:11,959 Speaker 9: But just briefly, because I know you got callers called, 2768 02:33:12,040 --> 02:33:15,320 Speaker 9: but just briefly, that was and I think Carl you 2769 02:33:15,440 --> 02:33:17,920 Speaker 9: asked that questionarily or maybe one of the callers that 2770 02:33:18,040 --> 02:33:20,360 Speaker 9: that was the role of the organizations because there are 2771 02:33:20,480 --> 02:33:23,760 Speaker 9: people who can't afford attorneys, and there are attorneys. I 2772 02:33:23,879 --> 02:33:25,840 Speaker 9: know Judge Bell, when he was the Chief Judge of 2773 02:33:25,959 --> 02:33:28,680 Speaker 9: the Maryland Court of Appeals at the time, which was 2774 02:33:28,720 --> 02:33:32,240 Speaker 9: the highest court in the state of Maryland, would require 2775 02:33:32,440 --> 02:33:36,720 Speaker 9: lawyers to take some pro bono cases, lawyers through out 2776 02:33:36,760 --> 02:33:39,160 Speaker 9: the state of Maryland to take some pro bono cases, 2777 02:33:39,200 --> 02:33:42,080 Speaker 9: because he's absolutely right, not everyone can get the kind 2778 02:33:42,120 --> 02:33:45,000 Speaker 9: of legal representation that they need. But at some point 2779 02:33:45,120 --> 02:33:49,400 Speaker 9: that was the purpose of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, 2780 02:33:49,480 --> 02:33:54,040 Speaker 9: which was separate from the NAACP that Marshall was part of. 2781 02:33:54,080 --> 02:33:56,560 Speaker 9: The naac Legal Defense Fund. He was in that part 2782 02:33:56,600 --> 02:33:59,400 Speaker 9: of the NAACP, so he just did legal cases. He 2783 02:33:59,440 --> 02:34:03,000 Speaker 9: didn't and south and civil disobedience. He didn't do protests. 2784 02:34:03,320 --> 02:34:06,560 Speaker 9: His job was a group of lawyers who just handled 2785 02:34:06,680 --> 02:34:11,119 Speaker 9: legal matters, and that was at one point what they did. 2786 02:34:11,280 --> 02:34:12,760 Speaker 9: And that's why it's important for us to know that 2787 02:34:12,879 --> 02:34:15,840 Speaker 9: history because maybe now we can ask these organizations, do 2788 02:34:16,080 --> 02:34:19,080 Speaker 9: the SELC or the NAACP or the Urban League have 2789 02:34:19,200 --> 02:34:22,280 Speaker 9: a legal defense fund which is separate from everything else 2790 02:34:22,360 --> 02:34:25,119 Speaker 9: they do, which allows them to take on these cases 2791 02:34:25,959 --> 02:34:28,480 Speaker 9: for people who can't afford to go forward. Because it's 2792 02:34:28,720 --> 02:34:33,560 Speaker 9: very important that we fight this battle on multiple levels. 2793 02:34:33,640 --> 02:34:36,560 Speaker 9: The civil disobedience is the aspect of it, the legal 2794 02:34:36,640 --> 02:34:39,000 Speaker 9: aspect of it, and then we publish the results of 2795 02:34:39,080 --> 02:34:42,000 Speaker 9: the different findings that come out, whether it's through some 2796 02:34:42,560 --> 02:34:45,480 Speaker 9: website that we have common in the community, or whether 2797 02:34:45,560 --> 02:34:47,800 Speaker 9: we talk about that again if we have been doing 2798 02:34:48,160 --> 02:34:51,000 Speaker 9: on a Carl Nelson show. But I don't like the 2799 02:34:51,360 --> 02:34:53,600 Speaker 9: blanket thing that there are no black lawyers who are 2800 02:34:53,640 --> 02:34:56,360 Speaker 9: doing anything, because they are, they're organizations, they are people 2801 02:34:56,400 --> 02:34:59,880 Speaker 9: who are doing everything. It's just that we don't have 2802 02:35:00,000 --> 02:35:02,480 Speaker 9: we have the ability to connect with them always because 2803 02:35:02,480 --> 02:35:04,240 Speaker 9: we don't know they exist. And that's one of the 2804 02:35:04,320 --> 02:35:06,480 Speaker 9: things that we had to work on, all right. 2805 02:35:06,600 --> 02:35:09,160 Speaker 1: Fifteen A, that's top there, Eric said, calling next he's 2806 02:35:09,280 --> 02:35:12,280 Speaker 1: online four he's calling from Forestville and Maryland. Grind rising 2807 02:35:12,440 --> 02:35:14,279 Speaker 1: Eric here with doctor Powers. 2808 02:35:15,760 --> 02:35:21,240 Speaker 13: Grind Can you here be mister Nelson and doctor Powell. Yes, okay, yeah, 2809 02:35:21,520 --> 02:35:24,160 Speaker 13: grand rise to both of you. Think let's take my call. 2810 02:35:25,120 --> 02:35:29,360 Speaker 13: I had two questions or comments to make. One was 2811 02:35:30,440 --> 02:35:37,240 Speaker 13: basically Keith Keith Porter. Why do you think that Keith 2812 02:35:37,320 --> 02:35:43,320 Speaker 13: Porter case hasn't got any notoriety in terms of what 2813 02:35:43,520 --> 02:35:52,160 Speaker 13: happened to him versus Nicole Goods case? And the other 2814 02:35:52,200 --> 02:35:56,840 Speaker 13: one is obviously the one in Missus Tennessee. And why 2815 02:35:57,280 --> 02:36:04,440 Speaker 13: why not with Paul young b One to be have 2816 02:36:04,560 --> 02:36:07,440 Speaker 13: a decent decree on the city with all the corruptions 2817 02:36:07,480 --> 02:36:11,440 Speaker 13: that goes on in Memphis, Tennessee. He makes up excuses 2818 02:36:11,640 --> 02:36:14,000 Speaker 13: how much it's gonna cause for them to have a 2819 02:36:14,040 --> 02:36:16,400 Speaker 13: decent decree about that. But like I said, the first 2820 02:36:16,480 --> 02:36:22,000 Speaker 13: question is how come mister Porter's case hasn't gotten in 2821 02:36:22,040 --> 02:36:24,680 Speaker 13: the notoriety at all? Very little, if any? 2822 02:36:26,440 --> 02:36:28,480 Speaker 9: Well, two things, I'll have. 2823 02:36:28,560 --> 02:36:30,400 Speaker 1: That though right there, Dodor Pallace, we're gonna step aside. 2824 02:36:30,560 --> 02:36:32,080 Speaker 1: I want to break you rid him, So we'll take 2825 02:36:32,080 --> 02:36:34,000 Speaker 1: the break and we come back and respond to Eric's question. 2826 02:36:34,080 --> 02:36:35,920 Speaker 1: So seventeen after the top of that, family, you two 2827 02:36:35,959 --> 02:36:37,840 Speaker 1: can get in on this conversation with our guest, that 2828 02:36:37,959 --> 02:36:40,640 Speaker 1: doctor Tyrone Palace.

Twenty one minutes 2834 02:36:53,920 --> 02:36:55,600 Speaker 1: after the top of there, with that guest, the former 2835 02:36:55,879 --> 02:36:58,879 Speaker 1: FBI agent, doctor Tyrone Powers. Doctor Powers, do you remember 2836 02:36:58,920 --> 02:37:00,160 Speaker 1: the questions of Eric's. 2837 02:37:01,080 --> 02:37:03,640 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think I do. He was talking about why 2838 02:37:03,800 --> 02:37:06,680 Speaker 9: these other cases, the cases that he mentioned, were getting 2839 02:37:06,720 --> 02:37:11,920 Speaker 9: the same kind of publicity as this particular case with 2840 02:37:12,520 --> 02:37:16,680 Speaker 9: the killing of miss Good. And the only way these 2841 02:37:16,760 --> 02:37:19,040 Speaker 9: cases are going to get that kind of publicity is 2842 02:37:19,080 --> 02:37:21,200 Speaker 9: if we give them that kind of attention, doctor King. 2843 02:37:21,560 --> 02:37:25,680 Speaker 9: And again, I want to recognize his birthday coming up 2844 02:37:25,920 --> 02:37:27,960 Speaker 9: in a way that's more than just a day, a 2845 02:37:28,080 --> 02:37:31,039 Speaker 9: federal day off, or a shopping day, in the sense 2846 02:37:31,080 --> 02:37:33,119 Speaker 9: that he was such a brilliant man, and we keep 2847 02:37:33,200 --> 02:37:35,560 Speaker 9: reducing him to a dreamer, and yet he said he 2848 02:37:35,680 --> 02:37:38,360 Speaker 9: had one dream and every year we played I Have 2849 02:37:38,480 --> 02:37:40,720 Speaker 9: a Dream. Speech was is in nineteen sixty three as 2850 02:37:40,760 --> 02:37:44,400 Speaker 9: opposed to the years in which he lived after that. 2851 02:37:44,600 --> 02:37:47,840 Speaker 9: Doctor King was very strategic and making sure that he 2852 02:37:47,959 --> 02:37:50,840 Speaker 9: got attention to the matters that were important. That was 2853 02:37:50,879 --> 02:37:53,560 Speaker 9: the purpose of certain marches, that was the purpose of 2854 02:37:53,640 --> 02:37:56,840 Speaker 9: civil disobedience, that was the purpose of him going to 2855 02:37:57,000 --> 02:38:00,080 Speaker 9: jail and writing the Letter from the Birmingham Jail. And 2856 02:38:01,000 --> 02:38:03,480 Speaker 9: just as a quick aside, you got to I'm hoping 2857 02:38:03,560 --> 02:38:06,480 Speaker 9: that everyone here take this opportunity of his birthday to 2858 02:38:06,560 --> 02:38:08,720 Speaker 9: read the Letter from the Birmingham Jail when he said, 2859 02:38:08,760 --> 02:38:10,680 Speaker 9: the greatest threat to black people is not the q 2860 02:38:10,840 --> 02:38:14,600 Speaker 9: Cut clan or the White's citizen council, is moderate and 2861 02:38:15,280 --> 02:38:17,800 Speaker 9: moderate whites who wrap their hate and the garments of 2862 02:38:17,879 --> 02:38:19,680 Speaker 9: love and make you think they're loving you when they're 2863 02:38:19,720 --> 02:38:22,160 Speaker 9: really hating you. He said, your enemy. You can see 2864 02:38:22,200 --> 02:38:26,119 Speaker 9: them coming. And he said that it's moderate whites who 2865 02:38:26,200 --> 02:38:29,200 Speaker 9: believed that they could set the timetable for another man's freedom. 2866 02:38:29,320 --> 02:38:32,520 Speaker 9: So he choked every opportunity he could, even writing from 2867 02:38:32,560 --> 02:38:36,400 Speaker 9: a jail cell in the corners and the margins of 2868 02:38:36,440 --> 02:38:38,720 Speaker 9: a newspaper, because they wouldn't give them paper and then 2869 02:38:38,840 --> 02:38:41,520 Speaker 9: getting it out through Correta Scott King to get that 2870 02:38:41,680 --> 02:38:44,840 Speaker 9: out to the community so they could see what his 2871 02:38:45,000 --> 02:38:47,520 Speaker 9: concerns are. So the only way these things, and that's 2872 02:38:47,560 --> 02:38:50,640 Speaker 9: the beauty of the Carl Nelson's show, is that the 2873 02:38:51,240 --> 02:38:52,640 Speaker 9: only way we're going to they're going to get the 2874 02:38:52,760 --> 02:38:55,560 Speaker 9: attention that we need them to get is if we 2875 02:38:55,680 --> 02:38:59,600 Speaker 9: give them that particular attention in the meantime or not 2876 02:39:00,240 --> 02:39:03,560 Speaker 9: not but but and when other cases come up, like 2877 02:39:03,640 --> 02:39:06,760 Speaker 9: the good case, we can take their case that they're 2878 02:39:06,959 --> 02:39:10,920 Speaker 9: highlighting or information, or a case where they're highlighting information 2879 02:39:11,360 --> 02:39:14,320 Speaker 9: and dissect it and apply it to our community, even 2880 02:39:14,400 --> 02:39:17,080 Speaker 9: if that's not what the intent was. In other words, 2881 02:39:17,120 --> 02:39:20,039 Speaker 9: strategy says that even though you saw it, I'm going 2882 02:39:20,120 --> 02:39:22,200 Speaker 9: to use this as a means to an end, a 2883 02:39:22,320 --> 02:39:25,360 Speaker 9: greater end. Not that this is not important in and 2884 02:39:25,480 --> 02:39:27,760 Speaker 9: of itself, but I'm going to use this to highlight 2885 02:39:28,000 --> 02:39:30,200 Speaker 9: all the other killings that go on, all the other 2886 02:39:30,360 --> 02:39:33,879 Speaker 9: excessive use force cases, all the other cases when officers 2887 02:39:33,920 --> 02:39:35,959 Speaker 9: should have de escalated or moved out of the way. 2888 02:39:36,240 --> 02:39:38,120 Speaker 9: I'm going to use this case as a means to 2889 02:39:38,160 --> 02:39:41,000 Speaker 9: an end because while I want the other cases to 2890 02:39:41,040 --> 02:39:43,720 Speaker 9: get the attention that they need to get. While this 2891 02:39:43,959 --> 02:39:47,640 Speaker 9: is in the spotlight, I'm going to show you how 2892 02:39:47,720 --> 02:39:50,560 Speaker 9: I use this to get us to where we need 2893 02:39:50,640 --> 02:39:53,040 Speaker 9: to go with the other cases. And then as the caller, 2894 02:39:53,200 --> 02:39:55,520 Speaker 9: just then bring up those other cases so we can 2895 02:39:55,560 --> 02:39:57,840 Speaker 9: begin to look at them, begin to dissect them, and 2896 02:39:57,920 --> 02:40:01,360 Speaker 9: begin to talk about them. Didn't wait for others to 2897 02:40:01,600 --> 02:40:05,560 Speaker 9: highlight what was going on in our community, or not 2898 02:40:05,680 --> 02:40:07,920 Speaker 9: only doctor King, but the other leaders, whether it was 2899 02:40:08,320 --> 02:40:11,000 Speaker 9: the leaders here at t Newton and Eldis Clever, or 2900 02:40:11,120 --> 02:40:13,560 Speaker 9: whether it was a side of security. They didn't wait 2901 02:40:13,640 --> 02:40:19,280 Speaker 9: for other people to highlight the way we were being treated. 2902 02:40:19,680 --> 02:40:22,160 Speaker 9: They made sure that they found a means and a 2903 02:40:22,240 --> 02:40:25,440 Speaker 9: strategy and a method. And as I said earlier, anger 2904 02:40:25,560 --> 02:40:27,600 Speaker 9: is an emotion, and I see how we get angry, 2905 02:40:27,840 --> 02:40:30,640 Speaker 9: But anger is not a solution. Calling people out, calling 2906 02:40:30,720 --> 02:40:34,279 Speaker 9: people names, making fun of people, that's an emotional response, 2907 02:40:34,520 --> 02:40:36,920 Speaker 9: but that's not a strategy to change things. 2908 02:40:36,760 --> 02:40:37,280 Speaker 6: For the better. 2909 02:40:37,800 --> 02:40:40,360 Speaker 9: These people, if we go back and study this history 2910 02:40:40,440 --> 02:40:44,680 Speaker 9: in detail, they gave speeches. They talked doctor King, Gay's 2911 02:40:44,680 --> 02:40:46,680 Speaker 9: speech to these other people. They gave but they also 2912 02:40:46,879 --> 02:40:49,119 Speaker 9: had a strategy behind that. This is what we're gonna 2913 02:40:49,120 --> 02:40:51,760 Speaker 9: do next after we give this speech, this is what 2914 02:40:51,840 --> 02:40:54,279 Speaker 9: we're gonna do. After we do this, say they already 2915 02:40:54,360 --> 02:40:57,000 Speaker 9: had the next step of the process planned. So those 2916 02:40:57,080 --> 02:40:59,360 Speaker 9: cases don't get the attention because we don't give them 2917 02:40:59,360 --> 02:41:01,840 Speaker 9: the attention. We don't have a strategy to make sure, 2918 02:41:02,360 --> 02:41:05,040 Speaker 9: even if it's by using some other incident, that it 2919 02:41:05,160 --> 02:41:08,760 Speaker 9: get out and we're able to dissect another case by 2920 02:41:08,840 --> 02:41:11,720 Speaker 9: looking at this case, not to mitigate this case, but 2921 02:41:11,879 --> 02:41:15,400 Speaker 9: you elevate another case on the heels or on the back. 2922 02:41:15,280 --> 02:41:15,879 Speaker 13: Of this case. 2923 02:41:16,720 --> 02:41:18,400 Speaker 1: All right, twenty five off the top of I got 2924 02:41:18,440 --> 02:41:19,840 Speaker 1: a bunch of tweet questions. Let me do one of 2925 02:41:19,840 --> 02:41:23,080 Speaker 1: the tweet questions for you, doctor Powis. The tweeter says, 2926 02:41:23,200 --> 02:41:25,199 Speaker 1: is it legal for ICE agents to wear a mask 2927 02:41:25,800 --> 02:41:29,800 Speaker 1: under these circumstances? And if it is not, why hasn't 2928 02:41:29,840 --> 02:41:32,760 Speaker 1: the Governor's Association created a uniform policy to prevent them 2929 02:41:32,800 --> 02:41:36,000 Speaker 1: from wearing masks? Also, could a citizen legally say they 2930 02:41:36,080 --> 02:41:40,000 Speaker 1: felt threatened by ICE agents wearing masks and behaving belligerently 2931 02:41:40,400 --> 02:41:43,359 Speaker 1: and therefore shot an ICE agent? Would that a citizen 2932 02:41:43,480 --> 02:41:44,360 Speaker 1: have legal standing? 2933 02:41:45,360 --> 02:41:49,600 Speaker 9: Well, two things. Here's the thing that it's not illegal 2934 02:41:49,640 --> 02:41:51,600 Speaker 9: for them to wear masks, and they had justified it. 2935 02:41:51,720 --> 02:41:54,200 Speaker 9: They have tried to justify because they know it's a 2936 02:41:54,320 --> 02:41:56,840 Speaker 9: legitimate question. We wouldn't allow that for our local police 2937 02:41:56,840 --> 02:41:59,880 Speaker 9: departments because we have policiesm in place that doesn't allow that. 2938 02:42:00,120 --> 02:42:02,640 Speaker 9: We asked police officers to identify themselves evenen they make 2939 02:42:02,680 --> 02:42:05,240 Speaker 9: a traffic stop. But the ICE agents are saying that 2940 02:42:05,320 --> 02:42:07,600 Speaker 9: their lives will be in danger if they did that. 2941 02:42:07,800 --> 02:42:10,680 Speaker 9: So they're writing into their policy that this is a 2942 02:42:10,840 --> 02:42:14,800 Speaker 9: defense mechanism whether than a overt policy. And what they 2943 02:42:14,920 --> 02:42:18,760 Speaker 9: do to counteract the idea that I had on a mask, 2944 02:42:18,800 --> 02:42:20,280 Speaker 9: so they didn't know we were ICE. So they put 2945 02:42:20,320 --> 02:42:22,480 Speaker 9: them on a mask, and then they put on a 2946 02:42:22,680 --> 02:42:26,920 Speaker 9: vest or a or a jacket that says ICE, like 2947 02:42:27,000 --> 02:42:29,160 Speaker 9: the FBI. Do you put on a jacket to say FBI? 2948 02:42:29,320 --> 02:42:31,760 Speaker 9: So they take away the argument that I didn't know 2949 02:42:31,879 --> 02:42:34,160 Speaker 9: they were ICE because of the jacket. They take away 2950 02:42:34,240 --> 02:42:36,680 Speaker 9: that art. Now you could still argue that because anybody 2951 02:42:36,760 --> 02:42:39,160 Speaker 9: could get an ICE jacket or an FBI jacket, but 2952 02:42:39,320 --> 02:42:42,000 Speaker 9: they try to counter that argument. See this is what 2953 02:42:42,080 --> 02:42:45,039 Speaker 9: I mean by the strategy they're using against our emotion. 2954 02:42:45,200 --> 02:42:48,360 Speaker 9: They try to counter every argument they anticipate us making 2955 02:42:48,640 --> 02:42:50,600 Speaker 9: and then we've got to come back and counter that 2956 02:42:51,120 --> 02:42:54,840 Speaker 9: you're right with policy. The Governor's Association, the local mayors, 2957 02:42:55,280 --> 02:42:58,720 Speaker 9: the jurisdictions in which we in can come up with 2958 02:42:59,480 --> 02:43:03,800 Speaker 9: can come up with policy practices and statements. But they're 2959 02:43:03,840 --> 02:43:06,960 Speaker 9: too silent. I'm trying to tell you. Even here in Maryland, 2960 02:43:07,120 --> 02:43:10,879 Speaker 9: I mean the legislative black caucers, we're too silent. We've 2961 02:43:10,920 --> 02:43:13,600 Speaker 9: gotta we've got to at least get out there. You can. 2962 02:43:14,520 --> 02:43:16,680 Speaker 9: The congressmen from this area where it's squaw you see 2963 02:43:16,680 --> 02:43:19,120 Speaker 9: a full mas can get interviews every single day. They 2964 02:43:19,160 --> 02:43:20,879 Speaker 9: can go on every network they want to. 2965 02:43:20,879 --> 02:43:21,320 Speaker 12: Go on to. 2966 02:43:21,800 --> 02:43:24,080 Speaker 9: And I know there are consequences and repercussions. And I 2967 02:43:24,240 --> 02:43:27,880 Speaker 9: know from my background and the FBI working public corruption 2968 02:43:28,040 --> 02:43:31,119 Speaker 9: that some of them have some things and their background 2969 02:43:31,280 --> 02:43:34,440 Speaker 9: that they're being threatened with. If you take this stand, 2970 02:43:34,600 --> 02:43:38,520 Speaker 9: we will bring this out. Trump and his administration it's 2971 02:43:38,720 --> 02:43:43,440 Speaker 9: good at getting dirt on individuals and making them remain silent. 2972 02:43:43,560 --> 02:43:44,120 Speaker 7: They say that you. 2973 02:43:44,280 --> 02:43:46,600 Speaker 9: Can't you you don't necessarily have to agree with us, 2974 02:43:46,680 --> 02:43:48,680 Speaker 9: but you can't speak out. I know all that is 2975 02:43:48,720 --> 02:43:50,600 Speaker 9: in place, but these are the things we got to learn. 2976 02:43:50,760 --> 02:43:54,800 Speaker 9: Years ago, I did a workshop for a group of 2977 02:43:54,959 --> 02:43:58,640 Speaker 9: politicians in Chicago. They asked me to come up and 2978 02:43:58,680 --> 02:44:00,400 Speaker 9: I said, this is how they're going to at you. 2979 02:44:00,520 --> 02:44:03,160 Speaker 9: So when you first get in office, know that the 2980 02:44:03,280 --> 02:44:06,160 Speaker 9: people who you think are your friend are compiling things 2981 02:44:06,240 --> 02:44:09,520 Speaker 9: against you so that at some point they can silence you. 2982 02:44:09,879 --> 02:44:13,280 Speaker 9: And we got to tell our new politicians, young people 2983 02:44:13,320 --> 02:44:16,080 Speaker 9: who are running from office, that even though many people 2984 02:44:16,160 --> 02:44:19,519 Speaker 9: are smiling at you now, they are also gathering everybody's 2985 02:44:19,600 --> 02:44:21,600 Speaker 9: not your friend. You've got a small circle. You don't 2986 02:44:21,640 --> 02:44:25,040 Speaker 9: tell everybody everything because at some point that will be 2987 02:44:25,120 --> 02:44:28,000 Speaker 9: a weapon formed against you. And it's important for us. 2988 02:44:29,120 --> 02:44:32,000 Speaker 9: It is important for us to teach how young politicians 2989 02:44:32,080 --> 02:44:35,240 Speaker 9: that I'll say in closing from that standpoint, there was 2990 02:44:35,280 --> 02:44:38,600 Speaker 9: a local legislator who said to me specifically one on one, 2991 02:44:38,680 --> 02:44:40,480 Speaker 9: and I want out of now, but he said to 2992 02:44:40,520 --> 02:44:42,000 Speaker 9: me out, He said, Doc, I want to help you 2993 02:44:42,040 --> 02:44:44,280 Speaker 9: in any way. I can tell me how I can help, 2994 02:44:44,320 --> 02:44:46,840 Speaker 9: but I can't come out because they've got me on 2995 02:44:46,920 --> 02:44:49,560 Speaker 9: these tax issues and if I come out publicly, they're 2996 02:44:49,600 --> 02:44:51,520 Speaker 9: going to arrest me, charge me, and take me out 2997 02:44:51,560 --> 02:44:53,800 Speaker 9: of office on these tax issues. So I've made a 2998 02:44:53,959 --> 02:44:56,320 Speaker 9: compromise with them not to speak out, but tell me 2999 02:44:56,400 --> 02:44:58,600 Speaker 9: how I can help you in spite of that. And 3000 02:44:58,720 --> 02:45:01,760 Speaker 9: that's not just one politician who is in that position. 3001 02:45:02,160 --> 02:45:04,160 Speaker 9: That's the number of them is in that position. And 3002 02:45:04,240 --> 02:45:06,480 Speaker 9: we can prevent them from getting in that position if 3003 02:45:06,480 --> 02:45:09,640 Speaker 9: we just don't elect people, but prepare people for when 3004 02:45:09,680 --> 02:45:12,280 Speaker 9: they get elected. It is one thing parn J. Mitchell, 3005 02:45:12,480 --> 02:45:15,800 Speaker 9: the great Congressman from Maryland, probably the last great congressman 3006 02:45:15,840 --> 02:45:18,440 Speaker 9: we have from the state of Maryland, said at one 3007 02:45:18,480 --> 02:45:21,520 Speaker 9: point it's one thing to want power. It's another thing 3008 02:45:21,600 --> 02:45:22,760 Speaker 9: to know how to wield. 3009 02:45:22,520 --> 02:45:25,800 Speaker 1: It got you thirty after the top.

But anyway, he said, uh, uh call that. 3025 02:46:13,280 --> 02:46:16,240 Speaker 17: Uh three, I think three or four of the board 3026 02:46:16,320 --> 02:46:18,199 Speaker 17: members are coming over to his school. 3027 02:46:19,320 --> 02:46:22,840 Speaker 1: And you know, and and go through his school favor 3028 02:46:22,879 --> 02:46:24,560 Speaker 1: because you've got some more folks w want to talk 3029 02:46:24,600 --> 02:46:27,320 Speaker 1: to Dr Powers. Can you you have a question for him? 3030 02:46:28,160 --> 02:46:29,120 Speaker 7: I absolutely do. 3031 02:46:29,800 --> 02:46:31,600 Speaker 17: Uh uh Dodor Powers. 3032 02:46:31,640 --> 02:46:32,400 Speaker 7: I read your book. 3033 02:46:32,879 --> 02:46:38,840 Speaker 17: But the legislature is getting ready to start Wednesday. They 3034 02:46:38,959 --> 02:46:44,760 Speaker 17: already got a bill that that wants to take juvenile 3035 02:46:45,280 --> 02:46:49,000 Speaker 17: not have juvenile crime if you've murdered somebody whatever, or 3036 02:46:49,080 --> 02:46:55,600 Speaker 17: not go to adult rich Gibson uh Young States attorney 3037 02:46:55,680 --> 02:46:58,840 Speaker 17: said that that's backwards. What do you think that we 3038 02:46:58,879 --> 02:47:01,320 Speaker 17: should be focusing on? And he said, we don't think 3039 02:47:01,360 --> 02:47:03,560 Speaker 17: about the victims. What do you think they should be 3040 02:47:03,640 --> 02:47:06,160 Speaker 17: focussed on? In the Annapolis As far as the juvenile 3041 02:47:06,400 --> 02:47:09,720 Speaker 17: justice reform, this that rank. 3042 02:47:11,840 --> 02:47:13,520 Speaker 9: Two thing I do is very quickly because I know 3043 02:47:13,560 --> 02:47:15,200 Speaker 9: we got other cause and it may be something for 3044 02:47:15,280 --> 02:47:17,120 Speaker 9: another day, but the reality of the matter is the 3045 02:47:17,160 --> 02:47:19,760 Speaker 9: purpose of the juvenile justice system. You got to go 3046 02:47:19,879 --> 02:47:22,480 Speaker 9: back to the origin of that was because that there 3047 02:47:22,560 --> 02:47:27,320 Speaker 9: was some conclusion that juveniles didn't have the mental capacity 3048 02:47:27,440 --> 02:47:29,920 Speaker 9: to make the same decisions as adults. And you got 3049 02:47:30,040 --> 02:47:32,680 Speaker 9: to remember that that was beneficue at the time that 3050 02:47:32,760 --> 02:47:35,720 Speaker 9: we were talking about majority of white citizens. You have 3051 02:47:35,800 --> 02:47:37,520 Speaker 9: to have a work permit because you couldn't make a 3052 02:47:37,600 --> 02:47:40,440 Speaker 9: right decision statutory rape if you at a certain age, 3053 02:47:40,480 --> 02:47:42,640 Speaker 9: you can't give consent, even because we're saying that you 3054 02:47:42,760 --> 02:47:45,360 Speaker 9: can't possibly make that decisions. So we have to go 3055 02:47:45,480 --> 02:47:47,960 Speaker 9: back to the origin of that, look at that, and 3056 02:47:48,040 --> 02:47:50,120 Speaker 9: then make the adjustments for that. I could get in 3057 02:47:50,280 --> 02:47:54,080 Speaker 9: more detail with that, but I know we got limited 3058 02:47:54,160 --> 02:47:56,160 Speaker 9: time and a number of other callers, but we got 3059 02:47:56,280 --> 02:47:57,720 Speaker 9: to look at the purpose of that. So we have 3060 02:47:57,840 --> 02:48:01,000 Speaker 9: to make sure that with all of this noise, because 3061 02:48:01,080 --> 02:48:03,840 Speaker 9: the majority of young people are doing the right thing, 3062 02:48:04,920 --> 02:48:07,800 Speaker 9: it is highlighted when it's us. But if you're a victim, 3063 02:48:07,879 --> 02:48:10,320 Speaker 9: and I do get that part too, it doesn't matter 3064 02:48:10,360 --> 02:48:12,320 Speaker 9: whether the majority are doing the right thing and you're 3065 02:48:12,440 --> 02:48:15,280 Speaker 9: victimized by one, you want something done about that. So 3066 02:48:15,400 --> 02:48:17,400 Speaker 9: there's a middle ground for that that I hope that 3067 02:48:17,480 --> 02:48:20,640 Speaker 9: they'll just say is take into consideration. And I think 3068 02:48:20,680 --> 02:48:22,680 Speaker 9: We're going to have to help them. I think they're 3069 02:48:22,720 --> 02:48:25,360 Speaker 9: going to We're going to have to help them with 3070 02:48:25,440 --> 02:48:28,640 Speaker 9: the research. Because remember, politicians are elected not based on 3071 02:48:28,879 --> 02:48:33,760 Speaker 9: their intelligence, even though this doesn't say they're not intelligence 3072 02:48:33,879 --> 02:48:36,640 Speaker 9: or they're expert in a certain field, but they have 3073 02:48:36,760 --> 02:48:39,039 Speaker 9: to be smart enough to go get the experts and say, 3074 02:48:39,120 --> 02:48:42,800 Speaker 9: how best do I handle this to preserve the reason 3075 02:48:42,920 --> 02:48:46,520 Speaker 9: that juvenile justice was created understanding that a male brain 3076 02:48:46,600 --> 02:48:49,120 Speaker 9: don't fully mature until twenty five to twenty six and 3077 02:48:49,200 --> 02:48:52,200 Speaker 9: a female brain to twenty two, how do I write 3078 02:48:52,280 --> 02:48:54,960 Speaker 9: a law or put this in place because it's not 3079 02:48:55,080 --> 02:48:58,800 Speaker 9: so dry Conian that it doesn't take that into consideration, 3080 02:48:58,959 --> 02:49:01,800 Speaker 9: but on the other hand, that it's not so liberal 3081 02:49:02,320 --> 02:49:05,160 Speaker 9: that it doesn't take into consideration that certain people are 3082 02:49:05,280 --> 02:49:06,280 Speaker 9: victimizing others. 3083 02:49:07,360 --> 02:49:09,880 Speaker 1: Got you twenty seven Away from the top with doctor 3084 02:49:09,920 --> 02:49:12,600 Speaker 1: Tyrone Powers, Thomas is reaching out to us. He's in Maryland? 3085 02:49:12,720 --> 02:49:16,000 Speaker 1: Is online too? Grand Rising? Thomas your question for doctor Powers? 3086 02:49:18,600 --> 02:49:18,800 Speaker 6: Yes? 3087 02:49:19,080 --> 02:49:19,600 Speaker 10: Can you hear me? 3088 02:49:21,720 --> 02:49:21,879 Speaker 6: Yes? 3089 02:49:22,000 --> 02:49:22,240 Speaker 1: Sure? 3090 02:49:24,840 --> 02:49:27,520 Speaker 10: First of all, thank you for bringing up doctor King, 3091 02:49:28,480 --> 02:49:32,400 Speaker 10: but will will we don't bring up is today is 3092 02:49:32,480 --> 02:49:36,640 Speaker 10: doctor Khala Muhammad's birthday? Who would have told us I 3093 02:49:36,879 --> 02:49:40,160 Speaker 10: for a life for a life. My question to you 3094 02:49:40,560 --> 02:49:45,920 Speaker 10: is on Meet the Press Sunday, they had the chief 3095 02:49:46,600 --> 02:49:51,720 Speaker 10: of Ice on and he was questioned about stealing money. 3096 02:49:51,879 --> 02:49:57,760 Speaker 10: Did the money he stole fifty thousand dollars? And he 3097 02:49:57,959 --> 02:50:01,480 Speaker 10: talked about he was asked the question that the audio 3098 02:50:02,680 --> 02:50:07,840 Speaker 10: that came out, one Ice agent was telling the lady 3099 02:50:08,440 --> 02:50:12,800 Speaker 10: to pull off, get out of here, and the other 3100 02:50:13,000 --> 02:50:16,200 Speaker 10: Ice agent was telling her to get out the car. 3101 02:50:17,760 --> 02:50:24,480 Speaker 10: So just because of that misdirection, should charges be brought 3102 02:50:24,560 --> 02:50:30,920 Speaker 10: up for that misdirection of confusion? Because if somebody one 3103 02:50:31,000 --> 02:50:34,880 Speaker 10: telling you go one time, you stay, Now she's killed, 3104 02:50:36,000 --> 02:50:38,320 Speaker 10: where is the mild practice in that? 3105 02:50:40,680 --> 02:50:43,960 Speaker 9: Yeah? Two things. First of all, under this administration, with 3106 02:50:44,080 --> 02:50:46,880 Speaker 9: this leadership, that is never going to happen. That's why 3107 02:50:46,920 --> 02:50:49,480 Speaker 9: I said we need to go a different strategy. A 3108 02:50:49,560 --> 02:50:52,360 Speaker 9: whole outopsy need to be done on that situation. Again, 3109 02:50:52,440 --> 02:50:55,200 Speaker 9: the Supreme Court has said, in any use of force cases, 3110 02:50:55,280 --> 02:50:57,760 Speaker 9: the totality of the circumstances, which means you get to 3111 02:50:57,840 --> 02:51:00,600 Speaker 9: look at every aspect of that particul the case. So 3112 02:51:00,680 --> 02:51:04,080 Speaker 9: that's going to require some kind of lawsuit. Again, the 3113 02:51:04,200 --> 02:51:07,360 Speaker 9: President is trying to counter that because he understand the 3114 02:51:07,400 --> 02:51:11,959 Speaker 9: strategy that I'm talking about on the US Attorney when 3115 02:51:11,959 --> 02:51:14,760 Speaker 9: they talked about absolute immunity. They're trying to discourage that. 3116 02:51:15,280 --> 02:51:17,840 Speaker 9: But the reality of the matter is absolute immunity doesn't 3117 02:51:17,879 --> 02:51:21,640 Speaker 9: necessarily protect the agency. So you can begin to proceed 3118 02:51:21,800 --> 02:51:23,600 Speaker 9: and go forward with this, or at least try to 3119 02:51:23,680 --> 02:51:26,480 Speaker 9: proceed and go forward with it, so that autopsy can 3120 02:51:26,560 --> 02:51:29,240 Speaker 9: be done on this case. And even if the outcome 3121 02:51:30,000 --> 02:51:31,960 Speaker 9: in this particular case is not what we want it 3122 02:51:32,040 --> 02:51:35,840 Speaker 9: to be, the autopsy in itself will help us tremendously. 3123 02:51:36,200 --> 02:51:38,480 Speaker 9: Like I said, some things are a means to an end. 3124 02:51:38,840 --> 02:51:41,480 Speaker 9: Some things aren't in in itself. Have people say all 3125 02:51:41,560 --> 02:51:43,240 Speaker 9: the time we doc that ain't going to do that 3126 02:51:43,320 --> 02:51:45,240 Speaker 9: and that ain't gonna result nothing I said, But some 3127 02:51:45,560 --> 02:51:48,920 Speaker 9: autopsis is a mean to a greater end rather than 3128 02:51:48,959 --> 02:51:51,039 Speaker 9: an end of itself. I think we started the program 3129 02:51:51,160 --> 02:51:54,240 Speaker 9: that they called we were talking about these general issues, 3130 02:51:54,280 --> 02:51:59,400 Speaker 9: what was happening in Venezuela, all these these toppling of 3131 02:51:59,480 --> 02:52:01,959 Speaker 9: governments all around the world, what's happening in Iran, which 3132 02:52:02,040 --> 02:52:06,560 Speaker 9: is absolutely unequivocally nothing but a Central Intelligence Agency operation 3133 02:52:07,080 --> 02:52:11,360 Speaker 9: because it happened before and it doesn't Let me just 3134 02:52:11,400 --> 02:52:14,760 Speaker 9: say this very quickly, We're not assessing the leadership of 3135 02:52:14,840 --> 02:52:17,360 Speaker 9: these particular countries. You may not like them. What we're 3136 02:52:17,400 --> 02:52:21,400 Speaker 9: assessing is the Eisenhoward doctrine, which allows you to topple 3137 02:52:21,480 --> 02:52:24,879 Speaker 9: governments unless they bow down to you and kiss your ring. 3138 02:52:25,640 --> 02:52:27,760 Speaker 9: But that kind of research is the research we need 3139 02:52:27,840 --> 02:52:31,000 Speaker 9: to do. That's what Congressional Black Coucer should be examining. 3140 02:52:31,240 --> 02:52:33,600 Speaker 9: And that's the strategies that we put in place, not 3141 02:52:33,680 --> 02:52:36,279 Speaker 9: just yelling about it, but what is the next step, 3142 02:52:36,440 --> 02:52:38,640 Speaker 9: What is the strategy that we go to deal with 3143 02:52:38,720 --> 02:52:40,680 Speaker 9: The Iranians know what's happening, and they know that's a 3144 02:52:40,760 --> 02:52:44,200 Speaker 9: Central Intelligence Agency operation. They've seen it before. It's been 3145 02:52:44,320 --> 02:52:47,040 Speaker 9: done there before. We saw it with patries, La Muma 3146 02:52:47,120 --> 02:52:49,520 Speaker 9: and the Congo. We saw it in every African nation. 3147 02:52:49,720 --> 02:52:52,880 Speaker 9: We saw it in Latin American countries when they were 3148 02:52:52,920 --> 02:52:56,480 Speaker 9: overthrown for corporate interests, and we saw the Eisenhoward doctrine. 3149 02:52:56,480 --> 02:52:59,000 Speaker 9: We simply said that the government, the country, the world 3150 02:52:59,040 --> 02:53:02,920 Speaker 9: should be run by capitalism and economics and the military 3151 02:53:03,240 --> 02:53:05,920 Speaker 9: should enforce that. It's the same doctor. There's nothing new 3152 02:53:06,040 --> 02:53:08,080 Speaker 9: under the sun. But you have to know that in 3153 02:53:08,280 --> 02:53:10,280 Speaker 9: order to come up with the proper measures to counter 3154 02:53:10,320 --> 02:53:11,279 Speaker 9: it as they did before. 3155 02:53:12,440 --> 02:53:14,280 Speaker 1: All right, we'll come up on a break. Thank you, Thomas. 3156 02:53:14,320 --> 02:53:16,560 Speaker 1: I asks you a question. Post this question, I'll let 3157 02:53:16,560 --> 02:53:18,800 Speaker 1: you respond when we get back. What we're seeing now 3158 02:53:19,200 --> 02:53:23,320 Speaker 1: is Donald Trump pulling out the Monroe doctrine. What we're 3159 02:53:23,320 --> 02:53:26,040 Speaker 1: seeing is that in line and what's going on now? 3160 02:53:26,120 --> 02:53:27,520 Speaker 1: And I let you explain that. We still got some 3161 02:53:27,560 --> 02:53:28,880 Speaker 1: more folks going to talk to you and got some 3162 02:53:28,959 --> 02:53:31,160 Speaker 1: tweets as well.

Is this what we're 3176 02:54:07,360 --> 02:54:09,880 Speaker 1: seeing a reincarnation and if so, is it going to 3177 02:54:09,920 --> 02:54:11,240 Speaker 1: be the Trump doctrine. 3178 02:54:12,879 --> 02:54:15,920 Speaker 9: Well, it's kind of it's kind of an an If 3179 02:54:15,959 --> 02:54:18,680 Speaker 9: he's used in the Monroe doctrine, which was trying to 3180 02:54:18,879 --> 02:54:23,080 Speaker 9: keep the Europeans from colonizing places in the Americas, he's 3181 02:54:23,120 --> 02:54:26,360 Speaker 9: doing it in reverse because he's actually colonizing. That's what 3182 02:54:26,400 --> 02:54:29,200 Speaker 9: we're seeing all over the world, these proxy wars, the 3183 02:54:29,280 --> 02:54:33,080 Speaker 9: one in Iran, the one in Nigeria, the one in Venezuela. 3184 02:54:33,160 --> 02:54:37,680 Speaker 9: These proxy wars are a US is an opportunity for 3185 02:54:37,760 --> 02:54:42,560 Speaker 9: this administration to actually colonize and subordinate nations, not the 3186 02:54:43,840 --> 02:54:46,480 Speaker 9: exact opposite of the purpose of the Monroe doctrine was 3187 02:54:46,560 --> 02:54:50,240 Speaker 9: to keep the Europeans from interfering in American affairs and 3188 02:54:50,360 --> 02:54:52,959 Speaker 9: colonizing places in the United States of America. So he's 3189 02:54:52,959 --> 02:54:55,960 Speaker 9: actually doing it in reverse because he's actually, as I 3190 02:54:56,040 --> 02:54:59,080 Speaker 9: said before, he's more moving you more of the eisenhowerd 3191 02:54:59,120 --> 02:55:02,640 Speaker 9: doctrine under our Dallas and John Foster Dallas, who said 3192 02:55:02,680 --> 02:55:04,959 Speaker 9: that the US should rule the world by its economics 3193 02:55:05,000 --> 02:55:07,000 Speaker 9: and that should be enforced by the military. I mean, 3194 02:55:07,080 --> 02:55:09,560 Speaker 9: that's not new. And they actually went about the business 3195 02:55:09,600 --> 02:55:12,480 Speaker 9: of doing that again when they were topping all these 3196 02:55:12,560 --> 02:55:16,400 Speaker 9: governments in Africa and every place else in Latin America 3197 02:55:16,959 --> 02:55:19,880 Speaker 9: and taking out all these other leaders to this proxy 3198 02:55:19,959 --> 02:55:23,320 Speaker 9: war and then using excuses like for a case in Venezuela. 3199 02:55:23,480 --> 02:55:25,120 Speaker 9: It doesn't matter whether you like the leader or not, 3200 02:55:25,240 --> 02:55:27,240 Speaker 9: but the whole concept that we were doing this to 3201 02:55:27,320 --> 02:55:30,680 Speaker 9: deal with drugs. Now we're taking their oil. After for 3202 02:55:31,160 --> 02:55:33,920 Speaker 9: numerous years you said that the greatest threat to America 3203 02:55:34,000 --> 02:55:36,800 Speaker 9: in terms of drugs with China, and it's Sentanel but 3204 02:55:36,879 --> 02:55:40,640 Speaker 9: you damn surere now go dismasch the Chinese president. So 3205 02:55:40,840 --> 02:55:42,880 Speaker 9: you go to Venezuela and you use this as a 3206 02:55:43,000 --> 02:55:46,440 Speaker 9: pretext and now you're talking about controlling the oil. And 3207 02:55:46,520 --> 02:55:49,199 Speaker 9: there's no connection between the drug trade. 3208 02:55:48,959 --> 02:55:49,520 Speaker 10: And their oil. 3209 02:55:49,879 --> 02:55:53,120 Speaker 9: So it's more of a colonization of proxy war. And 3210 02:55:53,160 --> 02:55:56,440 Speaker 9: it's the Eisenhower doctrine. And even Eisenhower in the end 3211 02:55:56,560 --> 02:56:00,320 Speaker 9: recognized how horrific this was becoming, because he's the one 3212 02:56:00,360 --> 02:56:02,959 Speaker 9: that came up with the term the military industrial complex, 3213 02:56:03,280 --> 02:56:05,520 Speaker 9: and when he told the American citizens to be careful 3214 02:56:05,560 --> 02:56:08,280 Speaker 9: of the mixture of economic and the military, which is 3215 02:56:08,400 --> 02:56:13,960 Speaker 9: exactly what Trump is actually doing, and this administration is 3216 02:56:14,040 --> 02:56:17,000 Speaker 9: arsicually be doing all around the world, and with the 3217 02:56:17,120 --> 02:56:21,160 Speaker 9: distraction being in this particular country. You remember, the philosophy 3218 02:56:21,280 --> 02:56:24,080 Speaker 9: was always that you distract the people with sport and 3219 02:56:24,200 --> 02:56:27,000 Speaker 9: play and then you could That's why the Honorbolija Muhammad said, 3220 02:56:27,040 --> 02:56:29,120 Speaker 9: be very careful with sport and play because while you're 3221 02:56:29,120 --> 02:56:31,680 Speaker 9: watching the game, somebody's running a game on you. So 3222 02:56:31,760 --> 02:56:33,760 Speaker 9: he said very careful. He didn't say you can't like 3223 02:56:33,840 --> 02:56:35,840 Speaker 9: sport and play. He said, be very careful of the 3224 02:56:35,920 --> 02:56:39,000 Speaker 9: distraction that provides while other things are occurring. And that's 3225 02:56:39,000 --> 02:56:41,320 Speaker 9: what we're saying. We're seeing foxy wars all over the country. 3226 02:56:41,360 --> 02:56:44,440 Speaker 9: But the response to that. Having worked counterintelligence is going 3227 02:56:44,520 --> 02:56:47,480 Speaker 9: to be something that is going to impact this year, 3228 02:56:47,879 --> 02:56:51,240 Speaker 9: this country for generations. Remember, most of the things that 3229 02:56:51,400 --> 02:56:55,520 Speaker 9: prevented terrorism in this nation had come from intelligence given 3230 02:56:55,640 --> 02:56:59,840 Speaker 9: to our intelligence agencies by other nations, and if they 3231 02:57:00,000 --> 02:57:02,720 Speaker 9: stop sharing that information, then they're going to be more 3232 02:57:02,840 --> 02:57:05,560 Speaker 9: terrorist incidents in this nation. Intelligence have always been a 3233 02:57:05,640 --> 02:57:11,560 Speaker 9: quid pro quote. It always been the philosophy of Eisenhower 3234 02:57:11,600 --> 02:57:14,800 Speaker 9: and Truman. No permanent friends, no permanent enemies, just permanent interests, 3235 02:57:14,800 --> 02:57:16,200 Speaker 9: and as long as it was in the interests of 3236 02:57:16,280 --> 02:57:19,240 Speaker 9: other nations to make sure that the US wasn't harmed 3237 02:57:19,320 --> 02:57:22,680 Speaker 9: because it was directly connected to them, then they provided information. 3238 02:57:22,760 --> 02:57:25,480 Speaker 9: They provided information on the nine to eleven situation. They 3239 02:57:25,520 --> 02:57:28,640 Speaker 9: provide over three hundred terrorist attacks were stopped in the 3240 02:57:28,760 --> 02:57:31,800 Speaker 9: last couple of years based on information from these other nations. 3241 02:57:32,040 --> 02:57:34,480 Speaker 9: When the other nations, who are looking out for their 3242 02:57:34,600 --> 02:57:38,080 Speaker 9: interests no longer see the benefit of providing that information, 3243 02:57:38,480 --> 02:57:41,040 Speaker 9: then the consequences of repercussions are going to impact this 3244 02:57:41,240 --> 02:57:43,560 Speaker 9: nation for years, and it's going to unpact everybody here. 3245 02:57:43,840 --> 02:57:46,000 Speaker 9: It's just that we're not looking at you know, the 3246 02:57:46,040 --> 02:57:48,200 Speaker 9: Bibles that people without a vision or perished. We're not 3247 02:57:48,280 --> 02:57:50,959 Speaker 9: looking at the long term impact and effect. And even 3248 02:57:51,000 --> 02:57:53,879 Speaker 9: when we do, we have so many people who remain 3249 02:57:53,920 --> 02:57:56,800 Speaker 9: who are exercising their right to remain silent. And I 3250 02:57:56,840 --> 02:57:58,960 Speaker 9: will say that again of the Congression of Black clo 3251 02:57:59,000 --> 02:58:01,560 Speaker 9: because I'm not talking about individual congress people going on 3252 02:58:01,680 --> 02:58:03,720 Speaker 9: these shows like Meet the Press and speaking about it. 3253 02:58:04,040 --> 02:58:07,120 Speaker 9: I mean these entities holding mass press conferences is what 3254 02:58:07,200 --> 02:58:10,240 Speaker 9: we need now. The Black Church, as doctor King didn't 3255 02:58:10,280 --> 02:58:15,920 Speaker 9: don't celebrate Doctor King by mimicking his oratory, without mimicking 3256 02:58:16,000 --> 02:58:18,960 Speaker 9: his behavior. Again, Biblically, it says you will know them 3257 02:58:19,040 --> 02:58:22,360 Speaker 9: by their deeds, not by their words. So duplicate that 3258 02:58:22,520 --> 02:58:26,560 Speaker 9: by speaking out against these proxy wars all over the city, state, nation, 3259 02:58:26,720 --> 02:58:29,640 Speaker 9: and world, and what's happening in this particular nation in 3260 02:58:29,720 --> 02:58:32,720 Speaker 9: a strong way where you're willing, if necessary, to suffer 3261 02:58:33,160 --> 02:58:34,840 Speaker 9: some consequences of repercussions. 3262 02:58:35,600 --> 02:58:37,560 Speaker 1: Twelve away from the top of that, with doctor Powers, 3263 02:58:37,640 --> 02:58:40,000 Speaker 1: Carl is calling us from West Palm Beach in Florida's 3264 02:58:40,040 --> 02:58:43,480 Speaker 1: on line one, Grand Rising Carl and with doctor Powers. 3265 02:58:44,520 --> 02:58:47,600 Speaker 19: Grand Rising Family, Doctor Power, I wanted to look at it. 3266 02:58:47,600 --> 02:58:49,520 Speaker 19: You know, a lot of conversation has been going on 3267 02:58:49,720 --> 02:58:52,280 Speaker 19: right now. Should the black man join the military of 3268 02:58:52,360 --> 02:58:55,760 Speaker 19: the United States Army and those of us who understand 3269 02:58:55,800 --> 02:58:59,000 Speaker 19: that their America has a domestic policy, on the foreign policy, 3270 02:58:59,120 --> 02:59:01,879 Speaker 19: you will come up on the auspices of those who 3271 02:59:02,040 --> 02:59:06,600 Speaker 19: joined the domestic policy and supposed to be in a 3272 02:59:06,680 --> 02:59:08,880 Speaker 19: position so that we can get some real information, in 3273 02:59:08,959 --> 02:59:12,440 Speaker 19: which you always do. But I was hoping that before 3274 02:59:12,520 --> 02:59:14,920 Speaker 19: you leave the day that you could give some of 3275 02:59:15,040 --> 02:59:17,680 Speaker 19: us that are locked on the corners some of the drugs, 3276 02:59:17,760 --> 02:59:19,720 Speaker 19: some of the all of the crazy stuff that's going 3277 02:59:19,760 --> 02:59:24,560 Speaker 19: on in the black community. Would you tell us plainly 3278 02:59:24,959 --> 02:59:28,120 Speaker 19: what the county and teil pro program was, since that 3279 02:59:28,320 --> 02:59:31,160 Speaker 19: was the wall that was wised here domestically. And I 3280 02:59:31,240 --> 02:59:34,280 Speaker 19: think many times we blend both of them together, the 3281 02:59:34,440 --> 02:59:37,360 Speaker 19: domestic and the UH in the foreign policy, and we 3282 02:59:37,520 --> 02:59:40,920 Speaker 19: do ourselves with disservice because this coming Martin Luther King. 3283 02:59:41,120 --> 02:59:44,800 Speaker 19: Remember Martin Luther King was focused on the domestic policy, 3284 02:59:45,160 --> 02:59:47,920 Speaker 19: and I think we I know, we got to expand 3285 02:59:48,080 --> 02:59:50,440 Speaker 19: him to every to the whole world, but I think 3286 02:59:50,520 --> 02:59:52,560 Speaker 19: it would help those of us because a lot of 3287 02:59:52,640 --> 02:59:54,800 Speaker 19: our brothers don't listen to radio and stuff, but if 3288 02:59:54,800 --> 02:59:57,920 Speaker 19: they heard something plain and simple. And I was one 3289 02:59:58,000 --> 03:00:01,359 Speaker 19: that lastly, had you started to tour of the colleges 3290 03:00:01,400 --> 03:00:04,000 Speaker 19: and universities so that you could give that kind of 3291 03:00:04,040 --> 03:00:06,720 Speaker 19: information to our families, so that these younger people could 3292 03:00:06,760 --> 03:00:10,240 Speaker 19: assist in trying to establish some kind of real parameters 3293 03:00:10,520 --> 03:00:13,440 Speaker 19: of safety for ourselves. And that's that's my question. 3294 03:00:14,160 --> 03:00:16,280 Speaker 9: Yeah, I'll make this brief only because of the time 3295 03:00:16,440 --> 03:00:18,720 Speaker 9: and the reality of the man. And so I'm so 3296 03:00:18,840 --> 03:00:21,000 Speaker 9: impressed with our young people because when you make it 3297 03:00:21,080 --> 03:00:23,400 Speaker 9: plane walk through its step by step, and you're not 3298 03:00:23,520 --> 03:00:26,120 Speaker 9: doing name calling or so on and so forth, but 3299 03:00:26,200 --> 03:00:29,640 Speaker 9: you because they want to understand not only what's going on, 3300 03:00:29,920 --> 03:00:32,240 Speaker 9: but how they can work to change it. You can't 3301 03:00:32,440 --> 03:00:36,000 Speaker 9: just give people bad information and then have them hang 3302 03:00:36,120 --> 03:00:38,320 Speaker 9: up the phone or hang up or turn off their 3303 03:00:38,400 --> 03:00:41,200 Speaker 9: radio or turn off the internet and say things are 3304 03:00:41,320 --> 03:00:43,800 Speaker 9: really bad. You want to give them a solution to 3305 03:00:43,920 --> 03:00:46,360 Speaker 9: the problems. Otherwise they go to the bathroom. They could 3306 03:00:46,400 --> 03:00:48,760 Speaker 9: raise the blade and cut their risk. And so my 3307 03:00:50,240 --> 03:00:52,760 Speaker 9: engagement with young people have been to walk through this. 3308 03:00:52,959 --> 03:00:55,880 Speaker 9: And every time I walked through this with young people 3309 03:00:55,920 --> 03:00:59,200 Speaker 9: at colleges and universities across this nation and outside of 3310 03:00:59,280 --> 03:01:01,840 Speaker 9: this nation, into Bermuda, I actually went to Cuba, went 3311 03:01:01,879 --> 03:01:04,800 Speaker 9: to other places and walked them through this particular thing. 3312 03:01:05,280 --> 03:01:08,960 Speaker 9: They truly get it, you know. Coen taelpro was so effective. 3313 03:01:09,040 --> 03:01:11,320 Speaker 9: I mean, we've got it. Sometime we got to admit 3314 03:01:11,760 --> 03:01:14,760 Speaker 9: it really destroyed a lot of our organizations. That destroyed 3315 03:01:14,800 --> 03:01:17,880 Speaker 9: a lot of our will. It destroyed it took us 3316 03:01:17,959 --> 03:01:21,360 Speaker 9: from seeing education as a priority. Again. We are in 3317 03:01:21,440 --> 03:01:24,840 Speaker 9: Baltimore City. We got a fifty sixty percent drop, all right, 3318 03:01:24,920 --> 03:01:27,240 Speaker 9: If we have a counted right in our schools and 3319 03:01:27,280 --> 03:01:29,920 Speaker 9: even people who are graduating and not being properly educated. 3320 03:01:29,959 --> 03:01:31,840 Speaker 9: Part of Coen Telpro was to make sure that we 3321 03:01:31,959 --> 03:01:35,960 Speaker 9: stay ignorant, just like Paul Pott did in Cambodia with 3322 03:01:36,080 --> 03:01:38,200 Speaker 9: the Camet Rouge when he was killing all people and 3323 03:01:38,240 --> 03:01:40,840 Speaker 9: getting rid of schools, and educate. Gebus, who was Hitler's 3324 03:01:41,240 --> 03:01:45,160 Speaker 9: propaganda specialists, said that the worst thing you can do 3325 03:01:45,320 --> 03:01:48,400 Speaker 9: is educate the population because once you educate them, they'll 3326 03:01:48,440 --> 03:01:51,439 Speaker 9: come up with counter measures for your policy and your dictatorship. 3327 03:01:51,760 --> 03:01:54,600 Speaker 9: That was Hitler's guy. So co and Telpro worked on 3328 03:01:54,800 --> 03:01:57,640 Speaker 9: so many levels that it has never ended. And when 3329 03:01:57,680 --> 03:02:01,080 Speaker 9: we look at our education system, drugs in our community, 3330 03:02:01,120 --> 03:02:04,280 Speaker 9: the drugs on our street, people go to drugs and 3331 03:02:04,320 --> 03:02:07,120 Speaker 9: alcohol to escape their reality because they've given up on 3332 03:02:07,320 --> 03:02:11,520 Speaker 9: changing their reality. And Cointelpro was designed to make us 3333 03:02:11,600 --> 03:02:14,480 Speaker 9: accept our reality and the only escape we would get 3334 03:02:14,720 --> 03:02:18,000 Speaker 9: was from Friday night parties, alcohol and drugs. And it 3335 03:02:18,520 --> 03:02:21,200 Speaker 9: was very effective an impactful for that for us to 3336 03:02:21,360 --> 03:02:25,200 Speaker 9: understand that as I walk young people through that, then 3337 03:02:25,240 --> 03:02:27,240 Speaker 9: they understand that, then they can counter that. So I 3338 03:02:27,280 --> 03:02:29,240 Speaker 9: think that's so important. I think you're right. I know 3339 03:02:29,360 --> 03:02:31,400 Speaker 9: we don't have time to cover in all the day. 3340 03:02:31,480 --> 03:02:34,320 Speaker 9: But when young people, you gotta make it plain to them. 3341 03:02:34,360 --> 03:02:38,080 Speaker 9: They don't want to hear you just condemn everything they 3342 03:02:38,160 --> 03:02:40,360 Speaker 9: want to know. Okay, yeah, this is bad. Now tell 3343 03:02:40,440 --> 03:02:43,240 Speaker 9: us how to fix it. Tell us what the solution is, 3344 03:02:43,640 --> 03:02:47,560 Speaker 9: because again emotion, anger is an emotion, but it's not 3345 03:02:47,680 --> 03:02:50,080 Speaker 9: a solution. So if you're going to point out things 3346 03:02:50,120 --> 03:02:52,560 Speaker 9: that are being done to us, then in your next 3347 03:02:52,720 --> 03:02:55,720 Speaker 9: breast or in your next lecture, and in your next conversation, 3348 03:02:56,160 --> 03:02:58,920 Speaker 9: tell me what I can do, starting tonite to counter that, 3349 03:02:59,320 --> 03:03:02,560 Speaker 9: because if not, you're making me more depressed. And I'm 3350 03:03:02,600 --> 03:03:05,600 Speaker 9: more likely my solution to what you were telling me 3351 03:03:05,800 --> 03:03:09,040 Speaker 9: is more likely to be drugs and alcohol than countermeasures 3352 03:03:09,080 --> 03:03:11,920 Speaker 9: and solutions and joining an organization and losties. 3353 03:03:12,760 --> 03:03:15,120 Speaker 1: All right, ate away from the top of a tweet 3354 03:03:15,160 --> 03:03:17,800 Speaker 1: from you from Lero and Louisiana says, a lot has 3355 03:03:17,879 --> 03:03:21,800 Speaker 1: been made about the words extra judicial killing. Can you 3356 03:03:21,920 --> 03:03:24,200 Speaker 1: ask doctor Powell if the woman that was killed in 3357 03:03:24,360 --> 03:03:28,879 Speaker 1: Minneapolis was that was that would be labeled as an 3358 03:03:29,000 --> 03:03:33,080 Speaker 1: extra judicial killing? And can he explain the words extra judicial? 3359 03:03:33,320 --> 03:03:36,480 Speaker 1: And did Ronald green encounter with the Louisiana State Police 3360 03:03:36,879 --> 03:03:38,439 Speaker 1: be labeled as an extra. 3361 03:03:39,680 --> 03:03:44,400 Speaker 9: Killing, just briefly extra traditional, meaning its outside of the 3362 03:03:45,480 --> 03:03:48,160 Speaker 9: justice system. So police officers are not supposed to be judge, 3363 03:03:48,200 --> 03:03:51,240 Speaker 9: jury and executioner. It is not their job to decide 3364 03:03:51,320 --> 03:03:54,800 Speaker 9: you're guilty or something. So I'm going to remove you 3365 03:03:54,920 --> 03:03:57,120 Speaker 9: from existence, or we're hearing that from the head of 3366 03:03:57,200 --> 03:04:00,400 Speaker 9: Homeland Security, we're heading that from the home. That's not 3367 03:04:00,520 --> 03:04:03,760 Speaker 9: your position. Your position is to follow the law. Now 3368 03:04:03,840 --> 03:04:06,600 Speaker 9: you get to defend your life in the process of 3369 03:04:06,720 --> 03:04:09,440 Speaker 9: following the law, but you don't get to decide who 3370 03:04:09,520 --> 03:04:12,640 Speaker 9: the bad people are. That's for the judicial system. Your 3371 03:04:12,720 --> 03:04:15,200 Speaker 9: system is to have primer face or evidence that I 3372 03:04:15,280 --> 03:04:17,400 Speaker 9: need to take some action to do it with the 3373 03:04:17,480 --> 03:04:20,520 Speaker 9: preservation of the sanctity of human life, using the least 3374 03:04:20,560 --> 03:04:23,520 Speaker 9: amount of force possible, and then let the court decide 3375 03:04:23,560 --> 03:04:29,480 Speaker 9: the rest. Extrasturi So, when you take away the ability 3376 03:04:29,520 --> 03:04:31,440 Speaker 9: of these people to face the court of law, when 3377 03:04:31,480 --> 03:04:34,039 Speaker 9: you're not arresting them but you are executing them, then 3378 03:04:34,040 --> 03:04:37,480 Speaker 9: you're outside the jurisdiction of the courts, or when you 3379 03:04:37,600 --> 03:04:41,240 Speaker 9: go beyond the laws, the policies and practices of this country. 3380 03:04:41,480 --> 03:04:43,800 Speaker 9: What's so remarkable to me is that the people who 3381 03:04:43,840 --> 03:04:45,680 Speaker 9: are on these shows, whether it's the head of the 3382 03:04:45,760 --> 03:04:49,520 Speaker 9: Department of Homeland Security or the head of ICE or 3383 03:04:49,600 --> 03:04:53,000 Speaker 9: these other individuals have no background in what they're talking about, 3384 03:04:53,080 --> 03:04:55,320 Speaker 9: but they just get to talk about it because they're 3385 03:04:55,520 --> 03:05:00,000 Speaker 9: in these positions. So they have no background or expertise 3386 03:05:00,320 --> 03:05:02,720 Speaker 9: and what they're talking about, and we accept it as truth, 3387 03:05:02,920 --> 03:05:04,840 Speaker 9: which is why we have to challenge it. Which is 3388 03:05:04,920 --> 03:05:08,680 Speaker 9: why I'm saying the organizations that we are closest associated with, 3389 03:05:08,760 --> 03:05:11,920 Speaker 9: whether it be the churches and the megachurches, the Underway CP, 3390 03:05:12,080 --> 03:05:15,520 Speaker 9: the SELC, the Congressional of Black Caucus, the Legislative Black Caucus, 3391 03:05:16,040 --> 03:05:18,600 Speaker 9: have to start speaking up and coming up with strategies 3392 03:05:18,640 --> 03:05:22,800 Speaker 9: and delivering those strategies to the citizens of this particular 3393 03:05:22,920 --> 03:05:26,680 Speaker 9: nation or in the communities, that community centers, that libraries, 3394 03:05:26,959 --> 03:05:29,480 Speaker 9: or the Paul Nelson. So not just say this is 3395 03:05:29,520 --> 03:05:32,120 Speaker 9: a problem I disagree with. Trump said, this is the solution, 3396 03:05:32,280 --> 03:05:33,840 Speaker 9: and this is what we're doing tomorrow morning. 3397 03:05:34,760 --> 03:05:36,600 Speaker 1: All right. In it remaining moments ago, I got to 3398 03:05:36,600 --> 03:05:38,600 Speaker 1: ask you about Greenland. Donald Trump says he's going to 3399 03:05:38,640 --> 03:05:41,880 Speaker 1: take it regardless either way, either by force. So the 3400 03:05:41,959 --> 03:05:44,400 Speaker 1: folks in Greenland and DeMoss, you can't buy it. We're 3401 03:05:44,480 --> 03:05:47,040 Speaker 1: not for sale. What would happen? What would happen with 3402 03:05:47,160 --> 03:05:51,560 Speaker 1: NATO if Donald Trump does go out and sees Greenland. 3403 03:05:51,680 --> 03:05:55,640 Speaker 9: Well, remember this, NATO and the United Nations endorse the 3404 03:05:55,760 --> 03:06:00,160 Speaker 9: assassination and removal of Patrice Lamumba in Africa. So what 3405 03:06:00,320 --> 03:06:02,760 Speaker 9: he has seen based on their history is that they 3406 03:06:02,800 --> 03:06:07,120 Speaker 9: are very weak in terms of resisting. They're very strong 3407 03:06:07,240 --> 03:06:09,440 Speaker 9: in talking and very weak and resistance. And when you 3408 03:06:09,760 --> 03:06:12,760 Speaker 9: do that, then you give him courage that he can 3409 03:06:12,840 --> 03:06:14,960 Speaker 9: go forward with this. And he's trying to force them 3410 03:06:15,000 --> 03:06:19,160 Speaker 9: to negotiate and otherwise going to use force. I don't 3411 03:06:19,200 --> 03:06:20,600 Speaker 9: know what he's going to do with that, but I 3412 03:06:20,760 --> 03:06:22,360 Speaker 9: know one thing that he won't be. 3413 03:06:27,440 --> 03:06:30,080 Speaker 1: Hopefully we haven't lost Doctor Powers. Sounds like if we 3414 03:06:30,160 --> 03:06:32,400 Speaker 1: may have lost him, Yeah, because we wanted to find 3415 03:06:32,400 --> 03:06:35,200 Speaker 1: out if that would trigger World War three because there's 3416 03:06:35,240 --> 03:06:38,160 Speaker 1: an Article five and NATO that you attack one of us, 3417 03:06:38,200 --> 03:06:40,760 Speaker 1: you attack all of us, and the NATO forces would 3418 03:06:40,760 --> 03:06:42,960 Speaker 1: have to join together. Seems like we may have lost 3419 03:06:43,040 --> 03:06:45,080 Speaker 1: Doctor Powers. And we've just got about a minute left. 3420 03:06:45,160 --> 03:06:47,080 Speaker 1: So I just want to tell you folks that if 3421 03:06:47,120 --> 03:06:49,400 Speaker 1: you want to pick up his book, Doctor Powers. Book 3422 03:06:49,480 --> 03:06:52,480 Speaker 1: is called Ice to My Soul. The Rise or decline 3423 03:06:52,520 --> 03:06:55,480 Speaker 1: of a black FBI agent and that doctor powers right now, 3424 03:06:55,800 --> 03:06:59,119 Speaker 1: he's a college professor. He was a former FBI agent. 3425 03:06:59,200 --> 03:07:01,000 Speaker 1: So I want to thank you for sharing all his 3426 03:07:01,120 --> 03:07:02,760 Speaker 1: thoughts this morning, because you know, some of the things 3427 03:07:02,800 --> 03:07:05,000 Speaker 1: that you can say, and some things, even though you're retired, 3428 03:07:05,040 --> 03:07:07,360 Speaker 1: I being some things you just can't say. But he 3429 03:07:07,440 --> 03:07:09,840 Speaker 1: shared it with us this morning. Family, that's it for 3430 03:07:09,920 --> 03:07:13,680 Speaker 1: the day. Clash is dismissed. Stay strong, stay positive, please 3431 03:07:13,879 --> 03:07:15,840 Speaker 1: please stay healthy. Is he about Kevin? 3432 03:07:17,680 --> 03:07:17,800 Speaker 7: Oh? 3433 03:07:17,920 --> 03:07:20,600 Speaker 1: Doctor parts? Okay, how much you finish and tell us 3434 03:07:20,640 --> 03:07:21,120 Speaker 1: to real quick. 3435 03:07:23,200 --> 03:07:24,400 Speaker 9: But I don't know what he'll do. I know he 3436 03:07:24,440 --> 03:07:27,039 Speaker 9: won't be restricted by them, because they've demonstrated a weakness. 3437 03:07:27,080 --> 03:07:29,039 Speaker 9: He's been the pretty much been able to bully the world, 3438 03:07:29,160 --> 03:07:32,320 Speaker 9: except for places like Russia, who are the people he admires, 3439 03:07:32,400 --> 03:07:36,480 Speaker 9: like Vladimir Putin and Benjamin nat Yautu who those people 3440 03:07:36,560 --> 03:07:38,960 Speaker 9: he can't bully. Other than that, he doesn't feel like 3441 03:07:39,040 --> 03:07:41,360 Speaker 9: he has any restrictions. So it'll be interesting to see 3442 03:07:41,520 --> 03:07:46,720 Speaker 9: whether we get enough pushback internally, domestically, or internationally to 3443 03:07:47,879 --> 03:07:52,400 Speaker 9: keep him from implementing fully this Eisenhower doctrine, which they 3444 03:07:52,440 --> 03:07:57,200 Speaker 9: were stopped from doing based on international pushback, local pushback, 3445 03:07:57,280 --> 03:08:00,640 Speaker 9: domestic pushback, and some congress people who had courage. 3446 03:08:01,720 --> 03:08:03,119 Speaker 1: Are we on the virgin of World War three? 3447 03:08:03,200 --> 03:08:03,640 Speaker 3: Do you see that? 3448 03:08:03,760 --> 03:08:05,440 Speaker 1: With the Donald Trump in the White House? 3449 03:08:08,080 --> 03:08:11,800 Speaker 9: You know, I think he would rather fight these proxy 3450 03:08:11,879 --> 03:08:15,280 Speaker 9: wars against nations that can't fight back. Notice that again, 3451 03:08:15,360 --> 03:08:19,119 Speaker 9: he is not snatching the president of the leader of China, 3452 03:08:19,240 --> 03:08:21,240 Speaker 9: even though he said fent no is being brought into 3453 03:08:21,320 --> 03:08:25,480 Speaker 9: this country. He knows who to fight against. I think 3454 03:08:25,560 --> 03:08:28,360 Speaker 9: many more nations will be trying to acquire nuclear weapons 3455 03:08:28,440 --> 03:08:32,840 Speaker 9: because we're not even talking about North Korea anymore or India. 3456 03:08:34,320 --> 03:08:36,280 Speaker 1: We never go out of here, dr bows it flat 3457 03:08:36,320 --> 03:08:38,000 Speaker 1: out of turn. But I thank you for sharing your 3458 03:08:38,040 --> 03:08:40,600 Speaker 1: thoughts with this morning. Family.
