He 41 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: called Green wacky and a trader who has repeatedly complained 42 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: despite record achievements for our country under his watch. 43 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 3: And you know that word trader is huge, you know. 44 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 2: As far as in a real government act. You know 45 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 2: that that's actually something that people can be convicted. 46 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: For, right right, But you know what, they've been having problems. 47 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: There's excuse him there and all this is taking place 48 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: because the victims, the so called victims alleged victims of 49 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: ways they're gonna be, uh, they're gonna be on Capitol 50 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: Hill this morning. And she's met with them and she's 51 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: heard their stories what happened to them with it when 52 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: they were young girls. And I think it moved her 53 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: and it moves some of the women into GOP. And 54 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: that's why they've taken the stance. And now, you know, 55 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: I guess, I guess the title wave has turned against 56 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. So he says, you know, I'll support it, 57 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 1: I'll sign it if the Senate agrees to you. The 58 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: question is, well, how many Republican senators will will cross 59 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: over and say open up the files? So that's a 60 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: big question, right, I see what you're saying. And what 61 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: about never mind this Epstein files thing. According to NPR News, 62 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: after months of infighting, the House GOP could vote today 63 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: to release the files, and like you said, how many 64 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: of them will crossover. 65 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 2: It's a bipartisan effort, which has been led by Representative 66 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: Thomas Massey from Kentucky and Roe Connon from California, was 67 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: long fought by Trump and Republican leadership from reaching the 68 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 2: House floor, and as recently as last week, White House 69 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: officials met with Representative Lauren Bobert of Colorado about her 70 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 2: support for releasing the files, but her position was unchanged 71 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: After the meeting. On Monday, Trump told reporters at the 72 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: White House so that the Senate can take up the 73 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 2: bill as well, and that he'll sign it if it passes. 74 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: And the measure, if passed, would compel the Justice Department 75 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 2: to release all of its files on the convicted sex defender, 76 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: the late Jeffrey Epstein within thirty days. 77 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 3: And the President says, I'm all for it. 78 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: Right he who knows if the Justice Department will release 79 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: them though, you know, if they have an option not to, 80 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: so even if he signs here, they'll say, well, an 81 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: excuse they were using, Kevin WHI was the fact that 82 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: they didn't want to expose that some of the young 83 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: women who were involved might might come under attack. But 84 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: now these women are coming up and say, hey, I'm 85 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: not fearing for my life. This is what happened to me, 86 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: and I want to tell my story, and they're going 87 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: to do that this morning before the vote. They get 88 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: a chance to speak, right, they had to do that. 89 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: That's why I think that's why he you know, he 90 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: turned around and made a decision because he the tide 91 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: was against him, and of course he saw what happened, 92 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,239 Speaker 1: the blue wave that hit the Republicans in the last 93 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: election earlier this month, she sawbody he's not going to support. 94 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: He's not going to support some people who who approve 95 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: the vote, you know. But that I guess he's testing 96 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: his strength. Now does he really have command of the 97 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: Maga folks, because when we're talking about is the Maga community, 98 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 1: and they're really upset and because they saw you know, 99 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: it's not it's not just this though, and that's it's 100 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: just not the Epstein files, because he was supposed to 101 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: be America first, and they've seen that they're not seeing. 102 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: They seeing that Trump is doing you know, eighting in 103 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: other countries and not America first. Then you know what 104 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: he did. He did another reversal too, is you know 105 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: his nickname on Wall Street Taco, you know, with the tariffs. 106 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: So you talked about a turkey being expensive one of 107 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: the things for the Thanksgiving dinner. It's being expensive, So 108 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: he rolled back the tariffs on some certain items. So 109 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: then again he caved in again. So he's having a 110 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: bad month. 111 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 2: I would say, wow, man, And they say that the 112 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 2: crimes of Epstein exposed a double standard of justice. Like 113 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 2: you're saying, we're rich and powerful men and women evade repercussions. 114 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: That they Yeah, but you know, for black folks pep all, 115 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: we've almost known that there's two kinds of justice in 116 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,239 Speaker 1: this country, justice and justice, you know, So there's nothing 117 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: new for us. 118 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: They Richard Bryar right there, right, just us man Well, 119 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 2: Texas A and M in other news, according to News One, 120 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 2: Texas A and M professors need approval to talk about 121 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 2: race and gender. This new policy comes after Texas AM 122 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 2: and AM fired a professor for teaching about gender identity 123 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: in the children's literature class earlier this year. 124 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: Your thoughts, again, it's part of the cultural wars, you know, 125 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: and what they used these culture wars to say that, 126 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: and it's part of in the backdrop of that caviny. 127 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: It is this evangelical Christians who say they're Christians, and 128 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: you know, some people question whether they're really Christians. I 129 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: can't remember which one of our guests that they're not 130 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: really Christians, you know, but if they were Christians, they 131 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: wouldn't some of the things that they're embracing, they would 132 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: not if they believed in what Jesus said, they would 133 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: not be embracing that. So this is just part of 134 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: the culture wars to frame the Democratic Party as a 135 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: party a group of people who like dysfunctional sexual dysfunction 136 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: and that kind of stuff. That's that's all. This is 137 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: part of that's helping to frame that. And I know 138 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: most most people they don't want transgenders to be on 139 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: the same team with, you know, or use the same 140 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: bathroom with girls. You know, most most folks don't want that, 141 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: whether you're a Democrat or Republican. 142 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 4: But they figured out a. 143 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: Way to frame it that all Democrats are like that, 144 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: and that's not true, but it's good for them. 145 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 2: Well, no, this is about this is about teaching gen ideology, 146 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 2: and they're saying that it hasn't been taught in the 147 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 2: school ever, and so uh, they're saying that the professors 148 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 2: must now seek approval from the school president to discuss 149 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 2: any topic related to raised and gender. 150 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 3: It's more about editing, you know. 151 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 2: I would look at it as you hand in your story, 152 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: you hand in your report of what you're going to 153 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 2: talk about, and the president of the school who's going 154 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 2: to take the hit, would would just be able to 155 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 2: know what's going on. 156 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 3: Don't you think that? They said the new rule, But 157 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 3: what what do. 158 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: You think concerns is more gender or race? You know, 159 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: we see they're trying to scrub the history books of 160 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: what our accomplishments in this country, So they are they 161 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: more concerned about that or whether, you know, teaching people 162 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: about homosexuality? So you know, we didn't ever know. Again, 163 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: it's these gender, these culture wars that they're very good 164 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: at fighting. 165 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 7: Well. 166 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 2: The policy says no academic course taught at Texas at 167 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 2: and can advocate race or gender ideology or topics related 168 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: to sexual orientation or gender identity without approval. 169 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: So so what does that mean So they can't teach 170 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: black history? Is that you know, put the gender thing 171 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: to the side for the moment. Does that mean they 172 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: can't teach black history? Is at the cause because that's 173 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: where they're going after two. 174 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 2: Cents inter pretention of that, it means run it past 175 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 2: the president of the college before you teach it is 176 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 2: the way I see that, and the way this article 177 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 2: is written. They say, Now, it's crazy how Republicans spent 178 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 2: so long whining about safe spaces and raised kids who 179 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 2: can't deal with hearing ideas that challenge their preconceived notions, 180 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 2: and the video predictively spurred outrage amongst the Texan. Texas 181 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 2: Republicans but have continually tried to censor what's taught in 182 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 2: both K through twelve schools and higher education, and Texas 183 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 2: Governor Greg Abbitt demanded that McCall and, educated with over 184 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 2: a decade of experience, be fired from her job. And 185 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 2: so if they don't run it past the president, then 186 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 2: then that takes away their ability. Did have a lawsuit 187 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 2: the way I see it, But right and what he does, 188 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 2: he puts him on the hot seat too, because then they'll, yeah, 189 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 2: and came out of his job. We'll threaten with hold 190 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 2: federal funding to the school. So you know, he's got 191 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 2: to make a decision. It's basically it's on him, you know. 192 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 2: That's how I read that. 193 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 3: Sure, Well, at the end of the day, when you 194 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 3: work for somebody, sometimes they might want to. 195 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 2: Know what you're talking about, while at the same time 196 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 2: I do see the bigger picture of what you're saying. 197 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: This it becomes a precedent for other colleges to teach you. 198 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: Know, or don't't see what they're done with other colleges. 199 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: But when you hire professors came in that they're qualified, 200 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: you already you know, vetting them before you hired them, 201 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: and now you're going to tell them what to do, 202 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: how to teach, what to say, what to speak, you know. Yeah, 203 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: you hire these guys and they've been teaching, probably been 204 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: teaching for quite some time, and all of a sudden, 205 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: the new rules come in because we've got a new administration. 206 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 4: That's what it sounds like to me. 207 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 7: Yeah. 208 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 2: Man, the world is really changing right before our eyes. 209 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 2: It's the eighteenth of November.

Wherever they're negative is 223 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 6: always positive at So anyway, I'm happy to be here. 224 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: Call Let me ask you this though, brother, saying before 225 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: you get before you get started, brother, single let me 226 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: ask you this though. All the situation that Kevin was 227 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: talking about, all this stuff that's gone on in Washington, 228 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: it seems like we're left out. Is that good for 229 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: us to just sit by and watch them just you know, 230 00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: self destruct? 231 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 6: Say that again, Carl, all. 232 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: This situation that's going on in Washington, the fighting and fighting, 233 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: especially with the Republicans, is it good for black folks 234 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: to sit this one out? 235 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 6: You know your Urugu is going to do with Rugu 236 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 6: is going to do. And what I mean by that 237 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 6: is we as African people need to understand that we've 238 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 6: been under the yoke of white supremacy for a long time. However, 239 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 6: longer time than that, we were in peace and harmony 240 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 6: around the world. So there is going to always be corruption. 241 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 6: But our ancestors actually saw a whole lot of things 242 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 6: that we didn't haven't even seen that are terrible, and 243 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 6: they came through. We are going to make it through 244 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 6: regardless to whatever Urugu does. But it is important for 245 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 6: African people to focus on what we're going to do 246 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 6: to uplift and control our own destiny and not depend 247 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 6: on your Rugu or the system of white supremacy to 248 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 6: do anything for us, because it is not designed. It 249 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 6: was never designed to be for us. And you know, 250 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 6: I like to call this Democratic Party the Democratic Party, 251 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 6: and I like to call the Republican Party the Reptilian 252 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 6: Party because technically speaking, even though they have differences, they 253 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,479 Speaker 6: work in conjunction to uphold the system of white supremacy 254 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 6: on the back of people of color, particularly African people. 255 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 6: So we as Garbyites, need to overstand that nothing can 256 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 6: be done to us. When we know who we are, 257 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 6: we rise up. But because we don't know who we are, 258 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 6: we are conditioned to follow the oppressive, which we think 259 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 6: we can find solutions or harmony in systems that they 260 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 6: have created, never going to happen. Garby taught us, Malcolm 261 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 6: taught us, Patricia Mumba taught us, and so many others. 262 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 6: Nanny Helen Burrows, Amy Jax Garby, all those ancestors that 263 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 6: have laid down the path is who we should be 264 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 6: looking at for the work that they do, finding out 265 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 6: what our missions are and to move forward. That's why 266 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 6: I said I wanted to talk about some things that 267 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 6: are going on to the good because we get so 268 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 6: caught up in the corruption and the confusion. And yeah, 269 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 6: it's tough, but if our ancestors made it through the 270 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 6: evils of the Transatlantic slave trade and guide us the 271 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 6: way we are today, we can make it through what 272 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 6: is going on today. In this so called so called 273 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 6: twenty twenty five Plan of Yurugu. What we have seen 274 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 6: in this year is an example of work that they've 275 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 6: been trying to put together to try to set us 276 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 6: back because they see us moving forward, they see us 277 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 6: waking up. Unfortunately, not enough of us understand who we 278 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 6: are and have pulled together to pull our own resources 279 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 6: together and build suffer liantly. And I'm not just talking 280 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 6: about in the US today, all around the world and 281 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 6: so but I have faith in our young people and 282 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 6: despite what you might see or hear about, there are 283 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 6: great things going on. For an example, this past Friday, 284 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 6: I had the honor and pleasure with a whole lot 285 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 6: of other Africans. 286 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: Are you a hold that story right there?

I am a television producer. 417 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 8: One of the things that I do, one of the many, 418 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 8: one of the many. I'm a television producer, a creator, 419 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 8: a director, and I've always, always, we talked about the 420 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 8: fact that we grew up in a world where if 421 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 8: you think about it, let's think about it for one minute, 422 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 8: and I want everybody online, everybody that's listening, to think 423 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 8: about this for one minute. 424 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 7: Right. 425 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 8: As far as black people, black movies, black stories, uh 426 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 8: and fantasy quote unquote fantasy stories, let's say quote unquote 427 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 8: fantasy stories, because for our ancestors, magic and things are 428 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 8: not fantasy. They're not even supernatural, they're just natural. 429 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 7: Right. 430 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 8: But as far as things that you've seen in the media, 431 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 8: right file right, you only seen really up until recently, 432 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 8: you've seen The Wiz. Think about that, The Wiz since 433 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 8: nineteen seventy something. That was the last time you saw 434 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 8: a movie a show that was all black cast, acting, magic, music, 435 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 8: you know, mystical things going on, right, anything close to Sciphi. 436 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 8: It wasn't even necessarily a sci fi movie, right, But 437 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 8: since then you haven't really seen anything. It's one of 438 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 8: the reasons why when Black Panther dropped, not only did 439 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 8: the black world erupt, the entire world erupted. Because the 440 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 8: entire world saw that magic. They saw that said, hold up, 441 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 8: that's real, that's us. That's who we are, no matter 442 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 8: what was going on in our community at the time, 443 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 8: no matter what's going on, the matter the detrimental things 444 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 8: that are going on. We saw Black Panther. The kids 445 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 8: saw Black Panther, the young people, and was like, yo, 446 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 8: I identify with that. 447 00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 9: That is who we are. 448 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 8: We are that magic, we are that power. They are 449 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 8: we are that shrimp. But can you imagine that since 450 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 8: the six since the seventies and beyond, and I'm talking 451 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 8: about something that was a major commercial product that the 452 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 8: whole world saw. We saw the Wiz, and the Whiz 453 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:21,959 Speaker 8: was amazing to me. But white dominated Hollywood produce Star Wars. 454 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 8: I mean they produced numerous movies before that. They had 455 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 8: Star Trek. I mean, we've had Harry Potter, We've had 456 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 8: we've had unlimited, unlimited series that fed directly into the 457 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 8: minds of young white people specifically, but everybody Black people. 458 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 8: Black kids had that was their goal to as well, 459 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 8: not just white kids, but the only thing that we 460 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 8: could identify with as black kids because it was the 461 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 8: only thing that was offered to us in the major 462 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 8: commercial way was these major white productions that showed white people. 463 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 8: So in these side five other worldly environments and creative spaces. Right, 464 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 8: But at this point in time, because of having access 465 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 8: to some tools like AI, besides the fact that Hollywood 466 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 8: and it's a lot of black people out there that 467 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 8: are creators that have these ideas, right, besides the fact 468 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 8: that Hollywood would not have green lit these these films 469 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 8: and TV shows that center around black folks and other 470 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 8: places and spiritual places and magic. We didn't We did 471 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 8: not have that opportunity to create those kinds of things 472 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 8: in a big way that would have reached the audiences. 473 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 8: We could have done it in a lot of different 474 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 8: kinds of smaller ways when I'm talking about in the big, 475 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 8: big way. But now with the access that we all 476 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 8: have to some of this AI technology, we can tell 477 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 8: stories that Hollywood would have never green liit that were 478 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 8: always inside of us, and that's sort of the thing 479 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 8: that's happening with our story Spirits and Spaceships, Spirits and Relationships.

Our series is about other dimensions where black 509 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 8: people have not necessarily gone through the same atrocities that 510 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 8: we've gone through here in the Americas and in these 511 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 8: other dimensions. Right, they're recognizing that on other timelines that 512 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 8: black people are going through atrocities, and they're coming to 513 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 8: those timelines keeping in and they're saying, Yo, we have 514 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 8: to stop some of these atrocities. But at the same time, 515 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 8: they're realizing that there's some divine things going on, but 516 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 8: there's certain individuals they must grab up, take back to 517 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 8: their world, train and bring back because there's a bigger 518 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 8: universe and there's multiple dimensions where there are different things 519 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 8: going on that we have to save in order to 520 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 8: bring alignment and balance back through the universe and universes 521 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 8: and totality. Now, I know I got really big and 522 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 8: really really really really expansive on that. But what we 523 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 8: did on Friday is we did part two of our 524 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 8: of our episodes. And what happened was last year when 525 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 8: we did part one people, yeah, part two of our series. 526 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 8: I'm sorry, but last year when we did part one, 527 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 8: we kind of introduced some of the characters. But then 528 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 8: this this Friday, we exploded in the in the part 529 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 8: two and people were just stunned. And part of the 530 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 8: reason they were stuned is because we utilized AI instead 531 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 8: of traditional methods of telling the stories. I'm still an editor. 532 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 8: We had to edit it and put it together using 533 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 8: some of the AI videos that we were able to 534 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 8: create and create this this this story, and it basically 535 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 8: stunned people. Stunned the crowd and they were absolutely amazed 536 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 8: at what they were able to see. When you saw 537 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 8: when people saw Black Panther just from the movie Black Panther, 538 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 8: just from the standpoint of the science fiction elements, from 539 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 8: the visual element, people were amazed. People identified with it 540 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 8: from a power standpoint, to see us in the position 541 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 8: of power, see us in the position of having worlds 542 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 8: that never were influenced by the corruption of you know, 543 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 8: European control and things of that nation. So AI, I mean, 544 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 8: excuse me, the spirits and space its tapped into that reality. 545 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 8: So this is our series that we're bringing to the 546 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 8: world and we're bringing to the youth, et cetera. 547 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: All right, Hold, that's all right there, yeah, Hold all right, 548 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: fellas step asid and get caught up with the ladies 549 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: news when we come back.

It's called AI and Black People. 664 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 8: I gotta say that because no very important, and you 665 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 8: can go to AI and Black People dot com and 666 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,359 Speaker 8: find that information because there's no book or very few 667 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:43,760 Speaker 8: sources like that that's totally dedicated to talking about AI 668 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 8: UH through black people specifically, and about the ups, the downs, 669 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,400 Speaker 8: the positive, the negatives, and ultimately how we can use 670 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 8: it to our benefits I mean UH. And then of course, 671 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 8: in additions to that, there are various organizations cheching creative 672 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 8: organizations that offer different kind of training. But it needs 673 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 8: to be more, especially when it comes comes to black people. 674 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,319 Speaker 8: And we talked about that when it comes to black 675 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 8: people and specifically technology. But the flip side of that 676 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 8: is that, as you know, black people have always been 677 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 8: on the cutting edge of technology since before ancient Egypt, 678 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 8: since Adam's Calendar South Africa, which is predated Stoneheads by 679 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 8: about twenty five thousand and seventy thousand. Some people say 680 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 8: seventy thousand years. We've always been We're on the cutting 681 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 8: edge and the creators, and we're the foundation of high technology. 682 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 8: And your youth right now has been utilizing technology. If 683 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 8: you look at youth of even everything from a cell 684 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 8: phone to video games, they're utilizing technology. They're farther ahead 685 00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 8: than we often realize when it comes to technology. It's 686 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,080 Speaker 8: just that right now, in the current situation, you don't 687 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 8: see us having to access to being the driver's seat 688 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 8: of creating the technology. And what happens is we wund 689 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 8: up being the consumers rather than the creators on a 690 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,800 Speaker 8: large scale. And so my book, for example, is about 691 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 8: promoting the idea that we're using it regardless. So we 692 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 8: need to be on the driver's seat and be the 693 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 8: creators and reap the positive benefits of the creation of 694 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 8: the technology and point the technology in a way that's 695 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 8: beneficial to us, the beneficial to the world long term 696 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 8: as opposed to destructives to us and destructives to the 697 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:39,359 Speaker 8: world long term. 698 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,800 Speaker 1: So all right, let me check it and ask you 699 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: this brother Obia. Ten minutes away from the top of 700 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 1: they out just AI level of playing field because you 701 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 1: know production in Hollywood used to do you shout a 702 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,800 Speaker 1: lot of money just to get in that game. Just 703 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: now with AI, does that make the plane field levels 704 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: so other folks you can get involved as well? 705 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,400 Speaker 8: Oh my god, it levels it in a whole lot 706 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,360 Speaker 8: of ways that couldn't have happened before. 707 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 9: You know. 708 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 8: Pilo Pari, for example, and we talked about this in 709 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 8: a book. He was about to do eight hundred million 710 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 8: dollar upgrade of his studio and when he found out 711 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 8: about an application called Sora, which is a video application 712 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,320 Speaker 8: created by open Ai, which is the same company that 713 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,240 Speaker 8: created the popular app cat GPT, which I'm sure people 714 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,839 Speaker 8: online are using chat GPT. We can talk about chat 715 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 8: GPT a little bit more. But after he found out 716 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 8: about this this app stra and this was last or 717 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 8: a year and a half a half ago, Sora was 718 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 8: a video generation app, which means basically that you put 719 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 8: a prompt into or instructions that you want or a 720 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 8: question that you want AI to answer for you. And 721 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 8: in Sora's case, since it's a video app, you say, 722 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 8: for example, create a picture or I'm sorry, created a 723 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,800 Speaker 8: video of a bumblebee landing on a flo and in 724 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 8: a couple of seconds, hey, I can create that image. Now. 725 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 8: Back in the day, if you wanted to create a 726 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 8: bumble bee on a flower, you had to go buy 727 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 8: a camera. We had to go find a bubble train 728 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 8: a couple of bumble bees, and that's kind of impossible. 729 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 8: That you had to go to an environment to the down, 730 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 8: have proper lighting, have a camera crew, have a certain 731 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 8: amount of money, etc. To create that production and create 732 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 8: that reality. But now you can do it in about 733 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 8: thirty second, not even thirty seconds with this app called Sora. 734 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 8: But that was when so one point Oh came out. 735 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 8: But now we're at Sora too, and it's doing stuff 736 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 8: even faster and even more incredible in terms of the 737 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 8: visuals are concerned. And now they even had sound effects 738 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,359 Speaker 8: and stuff like that. So yes, as far as it's 739 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,200 Speaker 8: a level in the playing field. What you're going to 740 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 8: have is moving forward. And you know, us creating our 741 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,839 Speaker 8: series Spirits and Spaceships is an example of that. I've 742 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 8: all we have always wanted to create mystical sci fi 743 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,880 Speaker 8: movies taking place in other worlds and magic and stuff 744 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 8: like that, but it was difficult. Uh, you have to 745 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,439 Speaker 8: have access to to to to an image that looks 746 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 8: like another planet. You have to have access to mountains 747 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 8: and far places and access to this to be able 748 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 8: to shoot that stuff and be able to get all 749 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,400 Speaker 8: these actors and all these images together. It takes a 750 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 8: lot of time and a lot of money, and Hollywood 751 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 8: would has not greenlit these kind of projects. Hollywood has 752 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 8: green lit projects that depicted black people as thugs often 753 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 8: you know, to pick the black people in other kinds 754 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 8: of ways. But now, because of the technology, you can 755 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 8: create your own stories far easier without having to go 756 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 8: through Hollywood. And what's going to happen is besides not 757 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,759 Speaker 8: just me in a in a in a coffee house 758 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 8: typing up a story and creating it in the way 759 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 8: that I want. They're going to be kids, your kids, 760 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 8: your grandkids are going to be in school creating story. 761 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,239 Speaker 8: They're already doing it, but they're gonna educate not just 762 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 8: two second stories, that they're gonna be able to create 763 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,719 Speaker 8: long form movies and plays. And that's what we're doing 764 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:11,879 Speaker 8: with Spiritual Space. 765 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 6: It yeah, real short. I just want to kind of 766 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,320 Speaker 6: so people that are listening can really be clear. This 767 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 6: is very important for us to relate to how AI 768 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 6: ancestral intelligence meets AI artificial intelligence and utilize Absolutely, I 769 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,239 Speaker 6: want to say that again. It's very important. Tony Brown 770 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,319 Speaker 6: and I talk about this all the time. It's very 771 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 6: important for us to recognize as conscious Africans living now 772 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 6: and carrying out our mission, how ancestral intelligence is something 773 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 6: that is within us that we can bring up and 774 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 6: like what Obi is doing and others is utilizing artificial 775 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 6: intelligence to create stories that will help raise the consciousness 776 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 6: and move forward. So the answer to the question call 777 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:12,239 Speaker 6: that you had is absolutely much better. And now that 778 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 6: we stay in front of the game. That's why it's 779 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:18,280 Speaker 6: important to get the book AI and Black People Because 780 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 6: me a lay person that don't know holly anything about 781 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 6: artificial intelligence, what I saw Friday, I was totally motivated. 782 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 6: It rolls up my electricity because what Obi and his 783 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 6: family were able to do is put together a story 784 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 6: utilizing artificial intelligence and bringing in ancestral intelligence and bringing 785 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 6: a story forward that will resonate with us as people. 786 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:51,280 Speaker 6: So we don't need Hollyweird in this regard, all right, Hold. 787 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 1: I thought right there, Brother singh and Brother Obi Holly family. 788 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 1: Brother Obi Holly is an AI producer. We got to 789 00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:58,880 Speaker 1: step aside for a few moments and check the traffic 790 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:00,919 Speaker 1: and weather and not different cities.

You know, 803 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 1: AI is getting a lot of pushback from the Hollywood 804 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,280 Speaker 1: industry because it says it's eliminating a lot of jobs. 805 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 1: But for us, we weren't getting those jobs in the 806 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,840 Speaker 1: first place, so they think the fight for us is 807 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,400 Speaker 1: sort of different. So how do you see any pushback 808 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 1: of people saying, you know, you taking people's jobs. Here 809 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 1: we talk about crafts, We've talked about stage hands, you know, lighting, 810 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 1: production writers, the whole nine yards, and you could just 811 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 1: you could do all of those jobs in ones just 812 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,320 Speaker 1: by sitting in front of your computer. 813 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,799 Speaker 4: So do you get any pushback at all? 814 00:44:59,600 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 7: Oh? 815 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:01,880 Speaker 8: No, of course it's going to be pushed back in 816 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 8: general as regarding AI and jobs in Hollywood or jobs 817 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,960 Speaker 8: just in production period. I mean, you know, we do 818 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:15,680 Speaker 8: normal productions that aren't AI insensors, and we are doing 819 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 8: AI productions as well. The reality is that everyone in 820 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,440 Speaker 8: America who has had a cell phone or has used GPS, 821 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,920 Speaker 8: or who has i mean had a smart refrigerator or 822 00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 8: had a smart TV in the last twenty years, has 823 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 8: been using AI. And the reality is that we all 824 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,320 Speaker 8: have participated in the programming or training of the AI 825 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 8: models through our lifestyle. Every time we got on Google 826 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 8: Maps to go somewhere, we were doing it. We all, 827 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 8: just in the last couple of years, have been taken 828 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,839 Speaker 8: aback by this thing that we call generative AI, where 829 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,920 Speaker 8: we can use a prompt and put in something that 830 00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 8: we want, be it a picture, it to help us 831 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 8: and to create a document, and then it responds with 832 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 8: an answer. That thing has been the thing. These these 833 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,759 Speaker 8: extremely new language models that AI users, where it can 834 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,840 Speaker 8: recognize English language to a degree and give you an answer. 835 00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 8: These are the things that have been kind of have 836 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,280 Speaker 8: that have rattled the industry and are going to shape 837 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,520 Speaker 8: every single industry. And there's no way around it. There's 838 00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,440 Speaker 8: no way. There's absolutely no way around it. Whether you're 839 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,719 Speaker 8: talking about in Hollywood, or you're talking about in the 840 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,719 Speaker 8: car industry, or you're talking about in every industry. It's 841 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:37,239 Speaker 8: going to abruptly change the industry. And so my thing 842 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,799 Speaker 8: is that we have to be on the cutting edge 843 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,040 Speaker 8: of where things are going, as opposed to be as 844 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 8: far as far as black people is concerned, as opposed 845 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,520 Speaker 8: to being the last people to understand and get on 846 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,120 Speaker 8: something and being left behind. Think about it like this, 847 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,120 Speaker 8: Because of AI, they're gonna be a lot of black 848 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,480 Speaker 8: jobs at risk. Jobs that black people have, be it 849 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 8: at a grocery store, be it at a cashier, be 850 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 8: it across the board, not just in Hollywood, so how 851 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:10,600 Speaker 8: do we participate in where this thing goes as opposed 852 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,279 Speaker 8: to becoming victims of where this thing goes? And the 853 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,400 Speaker 8: way to participate is to be a part of it 854 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:20,120 Speaker 8: in some in some aspects, or to be there's also 855 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,840 Speaker 8: going to be a kind of a counterculture, just like 856 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 8: Vinyl records, for example, where people know that when MP 857 00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 8: CDs came out, everybody was like, hey, man, CDs are cool. 858 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,879 Speaker 8: Vinyl disappeared, right, and then a few years later MP 859 00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:39,880 Speaker 8: three MP three's came out. CDs disappeared, but now guess what, 860 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,359 Speaker 8: Vinyl's back, and now it's a kind of a cult 861 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 8: niche thing. So there's another thing where you can be 862 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,920 Speaker 8: on the total opposite side and represent that which is 863 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:54,800 Speaker 8: totally non artificial intelligence and still make a living for yourself, 864 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 8: et cetera. But we're we're right now. We're in the 865 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:02,600 Speaker 8: height of the AI kind of revolution changing things. It's 866 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 8: the same thing with any technology. When the Internet came out, 867 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,400 Speaker 8: people said, hey man, no one's gonna go to a 868 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:13,279 Speaker 8: library again, and this tweeted that I know young a 869 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 8: lot of young people that never go to the library. 870 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 8: If they want to ask a question, they get on 871 00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,960 Speaker 8: Google to ask a question. I'm sure you got friends 872 00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,879 Speaker 8: like that, right, They asked their questions from something their 873 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:27,920 Speaker 8: phone in their pockets. But overall, libraries had to shift 874 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:32,879 Speaker 8: because the industry was disrupted, but libraries are still here. 875 00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 8: Same thing with the cab industry. I mean a lot 876 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:39,000 Speaker 8: of us know people in the cab industry that had 877 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:43,480 Speaker 8: cabs and you know, were severely affected when cabs were 878 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:48,000 Speaker 8: replaced by ubers and lists. They're not entirely replaced. It replaced, right, 879 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,000 Speaker 8: but every I mean a lot of us can't even remember. 880 00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:52,800 Speaker 8: Some of some of our kids that are people that 881 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,879 Speaker 8: are teenagers that are twenty one years old, never drove 882 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,080 Speaker 8: a cab. They only drove an uber or a lift. 883 00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,960 Speaker 8: While they shot the cab industry. On the flip side, 884 00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,239 Speaker 8: it created a lot of jobs for people that didn't 885 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:05,879 Speaker 8: have no other way to get a job that could 886 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:07,640 Speaker 8: drive all night long and pick people up at the 887 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:11,759 Speaker 8: airport and utilize it their own schedule. So with all 888 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,960 Speaker 8: these changes that happened, there's going to be disruption, and 889 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,239 Speaker 8: at the same time, there's going to be for people 890 00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 8: that are thinking, that are smart, that are involved, that 891 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:23,880 Speaker 8: are trying to figure out what's the next thing, And 892 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:28,279 Speaker 8: we Black folk are extremely creative. There's going to be 893 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:32,920 Speaker 8: a new way of people that can have to take 894 00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,840 Speaker 8: advantage of what's going on and taking it to the 895 00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:40,560 Speaker 8: next phase and new entrepreneurs. It doesn't mean the technology 896 00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 8: don't change the industries the jobs. Like you said, absolutely, 897 00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 8: they're definitely going to be affecting the jobs because thing 898 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:52,320 Speaker 8: is this, The thing is this, It's happened regardless. Hollywood, 899 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 8: for example, is going to there's no way they can 900 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:59,239 Speaker 8: exist in this world where any kid can create a 901 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:04,480 Speaker 8: Disney quality movie uh and and put it out there. 902 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:09,719 Speaker 8: So they're gonna have to adjust unfortunately, fortunately depend upon 903 00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:11,800 Speaker 8: how you look at it. And the other thing about 904 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,760 Speaker 8: it is my greatest thing about it is in Africa, 905 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:19,160 Speaker 8: for example, in the Caribbean, and I live in in 906 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:25,040 Speaker 8: Los Angeles, we don't have uh in Detroit, in Cleveland 907 00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 8: and Cincinnati and uh you know the south side of 908 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 8: Chicago there aren't movie studios. But guess where there are. 909 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,239 Speaker 8: The kids got laptops. Young people got laptops, and they'll 910 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,080 Speaker 8: be able to tell stories they never were able to, 911 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 8: never able to create. 912 00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,359 Speaker 1: Right, And I get where you're going, but that begs 913 00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,320 Speaker 1: my question. I'm glad you go there, brother Obi, because 914 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,880 Speaker 1: you're right that we're in the digital revolution right now. 915 00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,319 Speaker 1: You know, people are not caning around cash as well, 916 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,319 Speaker 1: they're using you know, credit cards, and then that's gonna 917 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,920 Speaker 1: be gone pretty soon. But the Mata, I'm not sure 918 00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,160 Speaker 1: how old you are if you remember the mata, uh 919 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,000 Speaker 1: the matar in the shit what it was where they 920 00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,440 Speaker 1: try to figure out they figured out for black folks, 921 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,840 Speaker 1: it's distribution. We don't have a mechanism for people to 922 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,239 Speaker 1: buy our products. You talked about the Caribbean, you talked 923 00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,280 Speaker 1: about south Side, Chicago and Cleveland, all these different cities. 924 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,400 Speaker 1: But if people don't know, how are you going to 925 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,680 Speaker 1: get know that? When you do these movies, how are 926 00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,000 Speaker 1: the folks and on the content, how are they going 927 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:23,040 Speaker 1: to know that they exist? That's what Marta was trying 928 00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:24,880 Speaker 1: to do because we make a lot of stuff, we 929 00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:26,719 Speaker 1: just don't know who makes them and we want to 930 00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:28,759 Speaker 1: support our folks, but we just don't know how to 931 00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:30,880 Speaker 1: reach them. So how are you gonna how are you 932 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,200 Speaker 1: going to cross that hurdle? Because when you make these movies, 933 00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:34,920 Speaker 1: how are you going to reach the people who needs. 934 00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:35,120 Speaker 4: To see them? 935 00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:38,840 Speaker 8: Well, well, there's gonna be a couple of things that's 936 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,520 Speaker 8: going on. As far as that's concerned, distribution has always 937 00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 8: been the thing that's always the power play, right. I mean, 938 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:49,279 Speaker 8: I know that recently on Instagram, I can't remember the 939 00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:54,400 Speaker 8: organization Africa I don't called Africa Stream or something. The 940 00:51:54,600 --> 00:52:00,040 Speaker 8: United States government recently pulled them off of Instagram. And 941 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,440 Speaker 8: they were doing a lot of positive stuff. They were 942 00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:06,240 Speaker 8: talking about truck or ray over in uh Raquina, fasso, 943 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:08,640 Speaker 8: et cetera. And they were doing all kinds of real 944 00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,360 Speaker 8: positive uplooking stuff. But on Instagram, people a platform that 945 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,800 Speaker 8: we just think it's some free platform, right, they just 946 00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:19,800 Speaker 8: pulled pulled the whole, uh their whole company off of 947 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 8: there and and denied them them access. The same thing 948 00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:26,120 Speaker 8: with you know, the same thing. Kinds of things can 949 00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,680 Speaker 8: happen on Facebook and all these things. But all these 950 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:32,800 Speaker 8: companies I just mentioned are we're always white owned companies 951 00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,880 Speaker 8: that never had necessarily black interests at heart. You know, 952 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 8: you don't want it black people to get involved and 953 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,720 Speaker 8: be on these platforms, but these were not black owned companies, 954 00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,839 Speaker 8: and so we have to be in the driver's fy 955 00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,000 Speaker 8: of this technology. We can't just utilize I mean, all 956 00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,160 Speaker 8: of us, you know, we we throw an event, we 957 00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:56,239 Speaker 8: utilize Facebook, we show an event, we utilized Instagram to 958 00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:58,200 Speaker 8: get the word out, But we're not throwing an event 959 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:03,239 Speaker 8: utilizing social media product that we've created and have have 960 00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,359 Speaker 8: control over. Not yet, not in a large, large, large 961 00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:10,479 Speaker 8: scale yet. I know Isaac Cay's's Sun who created fan Base, 962 00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,960 Speaker 8: which you've you know, raising money for it to try 963 00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,239 Speaker 8: to get popular, et cetera, et cetera, which is a 964 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,840 Speaker 8: social media platform. But we have to be in the 965 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,200 Speaker 8: driver's set and the creation of that. So on one level, 966 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:28,160 Speaker 8: we have distribution. As the technology becomes even more u popular, 967 00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:34,640 Speaker 8: we'll have opportunity to popularize our own distribution outlets. It's 968 00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,520 Speaker 8: number that's number like number one, number two. But also 969 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:42,879 Speaker 8: as the popular as the technology becomes more popular, these 970 00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:47,319 Speaker 8: streaming services and stuff are going to have to recognize 971 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:51,279 Speaker 8: and and be like, man, this content is popular. If 972 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,280 Speaker 8: you can make it popular, they're gonna want to stream 973 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,000 Speaker 8: your stuff. That's amazing because the end of the day, 974 00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,959 Speaker 8: they they're trying to generate dollars, So let. 975 00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,239 Speaker 6: Me try them in here, could Obi call That's a 976 00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,520 Speaker 6: very good question. But that's why it's very important. That's 977 00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,200 Speaker 6: why this topic is called state of the race. So 978 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:12,040 Speaker 6: when we start talking about certain things, we always depend 979 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,880 Speaker 6: too much on the oppressor to move forward. We need 980 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:21,520 Speaker 6: to create tech the necessary things we need to move forward. 981 00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,600 Speaker 6: That's why I started the whole show off talking about 982 00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,480 Speaker 6: the race first convention because all of the issues that 983 00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,480 Speaker 6: we're talking about right now, we are talking about coming 984 00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,759 Speaker 6: up with solutions to how we can move forward. So 985 00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:40,080 Speaker 6: our technological table was seriously looking at that, not only 986 00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:44,320 Speaker 6: how you can create ways to distribute positive content to 987 00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:48,080 Speaker 6: our people black owned back controls, but how you can 988 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:52,239 Speaker 6: secure it. Obi gave a very good example of a 989 00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,800 Speaker 6: very powerful company coming out of East Africa that was 990 00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:59,560 Speaker 6: rolling and kicking our real positive information and because they 991 00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:06,280 Speaker 6: were U European or Urugu of vehicles, they were completely 992 00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 6: taken off. So that means we as African people need 993 00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,239 Speaker 6: to be ahead of the game and create the kind 994 00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:17,880 Speaker 6: of technology, create the kind of science that is required 995 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:21,080 Speaker 6: for us to move forward where that don't happen. And 996 00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:25,000 Speaker 6: I want to make it real clear, anything positive that 997 00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:27,400 Speaker 6: is going on for African people needs to connect with 998 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:31,920 Speaker 6: other things positive because we are we are a cradle. 999 00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:34,880 Speaker 6: I mean, there is no human beings that exists in 1000 00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,120 Speaker 6: the world that can not come from us. So there 1001 00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,920 Speaker 6: is nothing that we cannot create, but we've been so 1002 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:46,120 Speaker 6: programmed to let the other fellow control how we move forward. 1003 00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,600 Speaker 6: Like let's look at the Internet for example. If you 1004 00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:52,279 Speaker 6: look at the creative ability of African people, there would 1005 00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,880 Speaker 6: be no Internet without the creativity of our people. But 1006 00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,920 Speaker 6: the question is who controls it. So I just want 1007 00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:02,040 Speaker 6: to make that clear. So listen must understand Carl. Everything 1008 00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:05,560 Speaker 6: we need can be put in place for us to 1009 00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:11,279 Speaker 6: move forward, particularly the ways to distribute positive content. So 1010 00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,560 Speaker 6: it's not like one area. We need to connect all 1011 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:16,640 Speaker 6: of these areas. That's why we're talking about the state 1012 00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:19,200 Speaker 6: of the race. And I don't want to push us 1013 00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,440 Speaker 6: too forward into the future. But we got Quansa coming up, 1014 00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:28,480 Speaker 6: and you're talking to two of folks who are connected 1015 00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:32,000 Speaker 6: to a large collective that have been doing Quansa for years. 1016 00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,320 Speaker 6: And on the thirtieth we're going to do Near and 1017 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,560 Speaker 6: on the twenty eighth by Brother Obia Sand they're going 1018 00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:43,239 Speaker 6: to do that Quansa event. So it's about connecting with 1019 00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,840 Speaker 6: other brothers and sisters, not just in the US of A, 1020 00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,360 Speaker 6: but even in Africa. They have creative ability to create 1021 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,800 Speaker 6: what we need so we have our own world going forward. Remember, 1022 00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:58,920 Speaker 6: the Pyramids were built by our ancestors, and I want 1023 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,920 Speaker 6: to say that the pyramids were built by our answers. 1024 00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:05,480 Speaker 6: So it is nothing that we cannot build when we 1025 00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,560 Speaker 6: know who we are and we put our mind to it. Anyway, 1026 00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:10,640 Speaker 6: I'll stop there because I'm very pumped up. 1027 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,480 Speaker 4: I had I got you fifteen. 1028 00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,120 Speaker 1: As to the top of the our family, that's brother 1029 00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:19,240 Speaker 1: saying go Bay's gave heed and is along with brother 1030 00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,440 Speaker 1: Obi Holly. He's an AI producer out in Hollywood, and 1031 00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:26,040 Speaker 1: we're talking about we're using the new technology to work 1032 00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,120 Speaker 1: for us. And one of the things that we just 1033 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:31,320 Speaker 1: discussed we need our own platform. Just this morning, right 1034 00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,280 Speaker 1: now as we speak, there's a platform called cloud Flare. 1035 00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:37,600 Speaker 1: This is where websites likes ex forming on his Twitter 1036 00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:41,840 Speaker 1: and film reviewing site, letterboxes on aram message because it's 1037 00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:45,560 Speaker 1: down right now. So, brother Obi, how can we create 1038 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:49,440 Speaker 1: our own platform? And then once we created, how can 1039 00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,280 Speaker 1: we get the message out that this is ours and 1040 00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:53,320 Speaker 1: get our people to support it because you know, there's 1041 00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:55,800 Speaker 1: some folks in our communities still think that the white 1042 00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,880 Speaker 1: man's ici is cold, is water wet, and is sugar sweeter. 1043 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,040 Speaker 1: We got to convince those folks to come over. 1044 00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:02,040 Speaker 4: How can we do that? 1045 00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:05,160 Speaker 7: You know. 1046 00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:07,040 Speaker 5: Right now? 1047 00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:09,080 Speaker 8: We have to, we have to, we have to just 1048 00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:14,760 Speaker 8: do it. We actually one of het rid projects is 1049 00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:16,920 Speaker 8: the creation of a platform. I don't want to get 1050 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:20,600 Speaker 8: into all of that right now on the phone, unfortunately, but. 1051 00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:25,200 Speaker 1: I try to hold up thought right there and think 1052 00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:26,560 Speaker 1: about that because we've got to step aside for a 1053 00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,000 Speaker 1: few moments. And when you come back, I'll let you 1054 00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,560 Speaker 1: explain that.

If you want to 1060 00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:44,440 Speaker 1: buy black, and this is what we're trying to do. 1061 00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:48,200 Speaker 6: I work with Mata cal so I understand clearly what 1062 00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,240 Speaker 6: you're talking about. I work with Ken Bridges and now 1063 00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:51,400 Speaker 6: I understand. 1064 00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:54,400 Speaker 1: But hold up thing right there, brother saying, we got 1065 00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:55,760 Speaker 1: to take a short break and I'll let you explain 1066 00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:57,160 Speaker 1: that when we get back.

I 1074 00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:18,080 Speaker 1: guess his brother Seng Goo bay A, he's a Garvey act. 1075 00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,520 Speaker 1: You've heard him here before. And also introducing us to 1076 00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:24,000 Speaker 1: a brother Obi Holly. He's an AI producer's making sci 1077 00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,960 Speaker 1: fi films out in Hollywood and it's doing it for us. 1078 00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:29,920 Speaker 1: And before we left, the brother Seng was going to 1079 00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:31,680 Speaker 1: explain to us what the Marta For those of you 1080 00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:35,080 Speaker 1: who don't know what Martar Group was with of course 1081 00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:37,320 Speaker 1: you knows Ken Bridges and al Wellington. Those are the 1082 00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:41,600 Speaker 1: fellows who were spirit leading Marta. Because we have some 1083 00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:44,800 Speaker 1: brilliant folks around the country, around the world who manufacture stuff, 1084 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:46,240 Speaker 1: but we just don't know who they are. We just 1085 00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:48,000 Speaker 1: don't know how to reach them. And this is what 1086 00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:51,360 Speaker 1: that was the Martars goal. So brother sengud to tell 1087 00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,600 Speaker 1: the folks explained it with what what Martar was. Because 1088 00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,600 Speaker 1: if brother Obi's making these these sci fi flicks that 1089 00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:58,960 Speaker 1: we should support and love and we want to watch, 1090 00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:01,080 Speaker 1: but if we don't know on how to get to them, 1091 01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:03,160 Speaker 1: how he can reach us, then that's a problem. We 1092 01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:04,600 Speaker 1: have to we have to you know, we have to 1093 01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,760 Speaker 1: make that connection there and bringing that gap ahead and 1094 01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,000 Speaker 1: explained at first, I. 1095 01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:15,680 Speaker 6: Must held up our ancestors brother brother Kenbridges and Al Wellington, 1096 01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,400 Speaker 6: two geniuses who came up with the concept of Marta. 1097 01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:22,200 Speaker 6: But they set at the feet of Gary's That's what 1098 01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,360 Speaker 6: a lot of people don't know. They set at the 1099 01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:28,720 Speaker 6: feet of Garveyites. The Robinson brothers, Calvin and Edward Robinson 1100 01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:32,600 Speaker 6: out of Philadelphia, powerful, just like Doc Ben and Doc Clark. 1101 01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,520 Speaker 6: They created a whole lot of things. But that's how 1102 01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:39,680 Speaker 6: Martar came into existence. After the million Man March, there 1103 01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:43,160 Speaker 6: was a Wellington group and Ken Bridges and Al Wellington 1104 01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,840 Speaker 6: had a group established that supported the million Man March. 1105 01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:51,280 Speaker 6: After the Millionaire March in nineteen ninety five, Marta was established. 1106 01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:57,200 Speaker 6: Martar was essentially a race first distribution, a network distributing 1107 01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:01,760 Speaker 6: products made and created by black people. And so I 1108 01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:03,520 Speaker 6: don't want to go too into it because it's a 1109 01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:06,680 Speaker 6: whole show. But the fact of the matter is there 1110 01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 6: are people who are still who work with MATA, who 1111 01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,480 Speaker 6: are working on other ways and means of distributing products. 1112 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:17,320 Speaker 6: And there are other groups, not just in the United 1113 01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:20,120 Speaker 6: States but around the world that are working on similar projects. 1114 01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:24,240 Speaker 6: But MATA was a rape first gobyit network that was 1115 01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:27,920 Speaker 6: established primarily in Philadelphia, New Jersey, but spread it all 1116 01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:31,080 Speaker 6: across the country. Brother Haki who comes in here, a 1117 01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:34,120 Speaker 6: lot myself and a whole lot of us people in Chicago, 1118 01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,440 Speaker 6: a lot of people who created product black products were 1119 01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:40,560 Speaker 6: able to distribute them through the network that was created 1120 01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:43,720 Speaker 6: by MACA. So I'll leave it to that call. But 1121 01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:47,520 Speaker 6: what my point is, just like Ken Bridges and al 1122 01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:52,160 Speaker 6: Wellington were geniuses, economic geniuses that created the network, there 1123 01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:55,520 Speaker 6: are other brothers and sistants alive today that have those 1124 01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:59,560 Speaker 6: kind of engineering and economic skills that are creating ways 1125 01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:02,480 Speaker 6: and means to provide ways and means. You heard Brother 1126 01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:05,480 Speaker 6: Obie say that he couldn't go too into depth about 1127 01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:08,040 Speaker 6: some of the things that are being worked on because 1128 01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:10,680 Speaker 6: anything that we put in place, we have to be 1129 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:14,480 Speaker 6: able to control it and push it forward so other 1130 01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:17,440 Speaker 6: people can gain it and get from it. And that's 1131 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,600 Speaker 6: what I happened Friday with what would happened with the 1132 01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:25,240 Speaker 6: Spiritual Spaceship is everybody that saw it was extremely motivated. 1133 01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:29,400 Speaker 6: Like our engineer brother Harold, brother Haru, he saw it. 1134 01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:32,240 Speaker 6: He was totally motivated. And I just want to thank 1135 01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:36,960 Speaker 6: Obi and his family for being so visionary to take 1136 01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:41,920 Speaker 6: on the ability to utilize AI and continue to do 1137 01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:45,200 Speaker 6: the creative work. Because what people do not understand is 1138 01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,760 Speaker 6: not only do they understand how to use AI, they 1139 01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,920 Speaker 6: use their creative genius to create art and culture. And 1140 01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,400 Speaker 6: I wanted Obi before he gets off, to talk a 1141 01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:56,560 Speaker 6: little bit about that because I know his instance, he 1142 01:02:56,680 --> 01:03:00,880 Speaker 6: does a lot of production and he has a holly girls, 1143 01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:05,680 Speaker 6: his daughters that are absolutely fabulous. So I'll stopped on 1144 01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,040 Speaker 6: that point because I really want people to hear a 1145 01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:11,320 Speaker 6: little more about you know, the AI and how important 1146 01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:15,120 Speaker 6: it is to get Obi's books. You know, AI and 1147 01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:19,120 Speaker 6: black people, AI and black people very important, all. 1148 01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:19,840 Speaker 4: Right, brother Obi? 1149 01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:23,600 Speaker 1: But first of all, Brother, what what triggered What was 1150 01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:25,920 Speaker 1: it that made you want to get into this field 1151 01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:28,520 Speaker 1: and tell our story? What was it that that you know, Well, 1152 01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:31,640 Speaker 1: this sparked, you're interesting, get into AI to tell our story. 1153 01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:39,040 Speaker 8: That's funny you asked that question. I always knew, says 1154 01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:39,360 Speaker 8: a kid. 1155 01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:39,440 Speaker 6: You. 1156 01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:43,640 Speaker 8: My name is Obie, right, so you know, the primary 1157 01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,520 Speaker 8: character in the movie Star Wars back in the day 1158 01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:50,680 Speaker 8: was Obi ben Kenobi Obi Wan. So ever since the 1159 01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:55,440 Speaker 8: seventy people let me call me obi Wan. So that's 1160 01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,160 Speaker 8: one of my nicknames. And right, and as you know, 1161 01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:04,920 Speaker 8: Star Wars is uh Android, you're gonna say so, I'm sorry, no, no, no, 1162 01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:06,040 Speaker 8: go ahead, You're good. 1163 01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:06,560 Speaker 7: Okay. 1164 01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:11,600 Speaker 8: You know it's a sci fi uh you know, movie series, 1165 01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:15,800 Speaker 8: et cetera. And so I've always been on on on 1166 01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:17,640 Speaker 8: the cutting edge of that. I've always been on a 1167 01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:22,919 Speaker 8: cutting edge of spirituality, African spirituality as well as looking 1168 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:25,040 Speaker 8: into the into the future. I remember back in the day, 1169 01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:28,120 Speaker 8: I went to a Nation House by Toto Nation House 1170 01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:31,840 Speaker 8: Positive Action Center. Shout out to I J. Mayhe's fly 1171 01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:35,400 Speaker 8: a piece into all the great people that created that 1172 01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:41,160 Speaker 8: magnificent institution for young African people. And we started a 1173 01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:44,120 Speaker 8: computer club. I'm not even gonna get getting to my age, 1174 01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,520 Speaker 8: but we started a computer club back in the day 1175 01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,280 Speaker 8: when it was about the Commodore sixty four and the 1176 01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,200 Speaker 8: VIC twenty, and people didn't even know where the A 1177 01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:54,760 Speaker 8: lot of people didn't even know what the computer was actually, 1178 01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:58,760 Speaker 8: and so we were always kind of ahead of the 1179 01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,320 Speaker 8: game as far as what was going on. So that 1180 01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:04,040 Speaker 8: put me in the frame of mind to be able 1181 01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:08,640 Speaker 8: to recognize friends, I would say faster than not everybody, 1182 01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,320 Speaker 8: but faster than some people. And I saw early on 1183 01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:15,320 Speaker 8: with this AI thing that this was going to be 1184 01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,120 Speaker 8: a major game changer. And I've done that in the 1185 01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:21,200 Speaker 8: past with different things, but I said, yeah, this is 1186 01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,560 Speaker 8: going to be a major game changer, just like the 1187 01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:26,880 Speaker 8: Internet was a major game changer. I'm just like Uber 1188 01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:29,400 Speaker 8: and lists were major game changers. I knew this was 1189 01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:31,760 Speaker 8: going to be a major game changer. And my thing 1190 01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:36,040 Speaker 8: is I did not want Black people to be the 1191 01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:41,640 Speaker 8: last to know or to simply be the consumers historically, 1192 01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:44,040 Speaker 8: And we talked about this in a book. Even though 1193 01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:49,720 Speaker 8: we went through the four hundred year slave trade, slave 1194 01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:53,520 Speaker 8: trade and Jim Crow, we still managed to come through 1195 01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:59,200 Speaker 8: with our brilliant and basically event everything from a technological 1196 01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:00,919 Speaker 8: love well. I mean, I don't know how many people 1197 01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:03,040 Speaker 8: could go through what Black people with would still come 1198 01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:06,000 Speaker 8: out being instrumental in the creation of the Internet, and 1199 01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,680 Speaker 8: the instrumental in the creation of this mechanical thing, this 1200 01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:11,480 Speaker 8: technical thing. So let you know that this idea that 1201 01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:15,080 Speaker 8: black people ain't technical people or not in the technology, 1202 01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:16,120 Speaker 8: that's that's the fart. 1203 01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:17,360 Speaker 7: We're the creators of it. 1204 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:22,640 Speaker 8: Like Barba single Baya said, we create the pyramids and pyramids, 1205 01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:28,400 Speaker 8: civilizations and you know, agriculture and writing and all kinds 1206 01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:30,640 Speaker 8: of things. So as far as being able to create, 1207 01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:34,560 Speaker 8: that's always been something that we did. And even though 1208 01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:39,360 Speaker 8: the society has attempted to position us to not paying 1209 01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:43,080 Speaker 8: positions of power as far as technology is concerned in 1210 01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:46,200 Speaker 8: terms of the creation or ownership of that creation, let's 1211 01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:51,200 Speaker 8: make that key ownership. I said, you know what, I 1212 01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:54,120 Speaker 8: gotta do something that's going to help reposition us and 1213 01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:57,440 Speaker 8: put us in our rightful place. We're the creators, the founders, 1214 01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:03,240 Speaker 8: the originators of technology, spirituality first and special intelligence first. 1215 01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:10,720 Speaker 8: But our technology was always used historically and traditionally come 1216 01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:13,400 Speaker 8: out of Africa and then all over the world to 1217 01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:19,000 Speaker 8: push forward our spiritual agendas, to push forward the concept 1218 01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:22,000 Speaker 8: of us realizing our greatest and for its potential and 1219 01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:25,360 Speaker 8: spiritual bands first and so I said, I'm not gonna 1220 01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:26,280 Speaker 8: let these people. 1221 01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:30,200 Speaker 7: Not allow us. 1222 01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:34,080 Speaker 8: Let me create something that's going to position us to 1223 01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:38,240 Speaker 8: be able to utilize the technology, get in on the 1224 01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:41,720 Speaker 8: ground level and instead of just being consumers like a 1225 01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:46,480 Speaker 8: lot of us consumed video games, all these things. We consume. Netflix, 1226 01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:53,280 Speaker 8: we consume, Amazon, we consume, I mean, Ahbo Max, we consume, consume, consume. 1227 01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:56,760 Speaker 8: Said not, We're gonna be on the creating side of it. 1228 01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:59,080 Speaker 8: So that's what AI and Black People the book is 1229 01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:02,080 Speaker 8: about create so that we can mean a power position 1230 01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:05,480 Speaker 8: and so that ultimately we can help shape the future 1231 01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:09,400 Speaker 8: because it's here regardless if we like it, don't like it, 1232 01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,320 Speaker 8: realize it or not, and it's going to affect it. 1233 01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:16,200 Speaker 8: It's already a second folks in so many ways, job wise, 1234 01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:18,519 Speaker 8: et cetera, et cetera. So we need to be in 1235 01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:20,800 Speaker 8: the driver's seat of where it goes, and not just 1236 01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:27,280 Speaker 8: that if we can't complain about these algorithms, for example, 1237 01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:31,000 Speaker 8: I mean, think about it like this, These algorithms and 1238 01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:34,000 Speaker 8: these are the systems that are used that are basically 1239 01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:38,240 Speaker 8: the direction for the AI applications that we use. Be 1240 01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:42,200 Speaker 8: it a GPS application, be it a mid journey application 1241 01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:44,800 Speaker 8: that creates a beautiful picture for you, be it chat, 1242 01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:50,080 Speaker 8: GPT that helps you write an article. These algorithms are 1243 01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:54,639 Speaker 8: trained and are training themselves based on information that's out there, 1244 01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:58,479 Speaker 8: largely based on data sets for example, where that come 1245 01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:02,519 Speaker 8: off the Internet, random information on the Internet, all kinds 1246 01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:05,960 Speaker 8: of information. And if that information on the Internet has 1247 01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:11,760 Speaker 8: been steeped in racism and the white supremacy worldview, that's 1248 01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:18,840 Speaker 8: gonna come out in your AI results, whether you know 1249 01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:22,680 Speaker 8: what understand it or not, in a subtle way or 1250 01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:25,040 Speaker 8: in a non subtle way. And I give you an example. 1251 01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,600 Speaker 8: I when I first started utilizing AI, you know, I 1252 01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:31,960 Speaker 8: would type in and I just use this as a 1253 01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:35,280 Speaker 8: clear example, ancient Egyptian. I need an ancient Egyptian woman 1254 01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:38,400 Speaker 8: walking down by the pyramids, and they would always come 1255 01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:42,639 Speaker 8: out white. Okay, And I mean you would go, I'd 1256 01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:46,680 Speaker 8: go to multiple sites and type this in and they 1257 01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:48,960 Speaker 8: would come out white. Why would they come out white? Well, 1258 01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:55,639 Speaker 8: the information they're drawing on is predominantly sources that keep 1259 01:09:56,120 --> 01:10:00,599 Speaker 8: projecting the same bias, incorrect use of ancient egypt people 1260 01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:03,960 Speaker 8: in culture. Well, the people that are creating these applications 1261 01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:06,960 Speaker 8: have no vested interests in that in creating and telling 1262 01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:10,599 Speaker 8: the true story. Right, So this is another reason why 1263 01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:14,160 Speaker 8: we have to be involved in the technology and creating 1264 01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:18,599 Speaker 8: it so we can put our product, our ideas, our 1265 01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:22,200 Speaker 8: concepts to reality to the forefront. So the algorithms drawn 1266 01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:26,320 Speaker 8: on information that is crucial and important and true and 1267 01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:32,000 Speaker 8: represents us as opposed to this hype that's going on 1268 01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:36,880 Speaker 8: where these stallacies are being perpetuated through the AI algorithms. 1269 01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:41,320 Speaker 8: Because as AI grows in height and people start creating 1270 01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:45,080 Speaker 8: new companies day after day, day after day, they're utilizing 1271 01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:48,160 Speaker 8: a lot of the same information, and they're perpetuating the 1272 01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:52,160 Speaker 8: same information. So the AI algorithm that I ask to 1273 01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:54,840 Speaker 8: draw a picture of ancient Egyptian walking down by the 1274 01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:58,040 Speaker 8: pyramids will keep coming out white or this kind of 1275 01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:02,720 Speaker 8: non black, you know, kind of characters. And it did 1276 01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:04,840 Speaker 8: it over and over again. Now here's the crazy thing, right, 1277 01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:09,719 Speaker 8: Even if you talk to the so called white scholars, 1278 01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:12,320 Speaker 8: they'll tell you, hey, man, you know ancient Egyptians. It'll 1279 01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:15,200 Speaker 8: be like, relax, ancient Egyptians. The original intradiption was some 1280 01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:17,960 Speaker 8: multi race kind of thing. Well, I'm like, all right, 1281 01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:21,560 Speaker 8: well that ain't true. The foundation of ancients was not 1282 01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:23,960 Speaker 8: multi race but let's say it. What was So then 1283 01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:26,240 Speaker 8: we're the black people in these pictures you're supposed to 1284 01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:30,280 Speaker 8: be drawing me. I've typed the question that fifty times 1285 01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:33,120 Speaker 8: you keep coming up with white ancient Egyptians. 1286 01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:33,960 Speaker 10: You see what I'm saying. 1287 01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:37,439 Speaker 8: So when you start seeing stuff like that, well, let. 1288 01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:39,519 Speaker 1: Me shull me here for a second, brother, Obie, at 1289 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:41,600 Speaker 1: twenty seven minutes away from the top, there are we 1290 01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:46,200 Speaker 1: have some exceptionally gifted, talented people in all kinds of businesses, 1291 01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:48,960 Speaker 1: but they're not working for us. They're working for the 1292 01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:53,760 Speaker 1: other folks. How can we convince them? Because you could 1293 01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:56,320 Speaker 1: be over working for them too with your talent what 1294 01:11:56,439 --> 01:11:58,320 Speaker 1: you're doing. But you decide to come and help us 1295 01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:01,880 Speaker 1: and help help our community doing what you're doing with 1296 01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:06,400 Speaker 1: AI and you know, delivering movies about for our people. 1297 01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:10,160 Speaker 1: How do we convince those who are because I'm telling 1298 01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:12,120 Speaker 1: you we we just probably don't know them, but you 1299 01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:13,920 Speaker 1: know it comes out later in the wash it it 1300 01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:15,760 Speaker 1: was a black person or a sister or a brother 1301 01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:19,320 Speaker 1: did this. I'm talking about globally, But they're working for 1302 01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:21,479 Speaker 1: the other folks. And this is on all levels, not 1303 01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:25,160 Speaker 1: just in AI, but in banking and business and all 1304 01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:27,599 Speaker 1: of that, How do we convince those folks to come 1305 01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:29,879 Speaker 1: and give back or work for our community. 1306 01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:32,920 Speaker 8: Hey, that's a great question. 1307 01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:38,479 Speaker 7: You know. Part of it is. 1308 01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:44,800 Speaker 8: We have to be educated on it. We have to 1309 01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:48,320 Speaker 8: educate ourselves, and we have to keep setting the example 1310 01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:51,000 Speaker 8: and going out and doing things like creating spirits and 1311 01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:53,840 Speaker 8: spaceship so that people start to see that there are 1312 01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:59,120 Speaker 8: other possibilities, and these other possibilities aren't necessarily always easy 1313 01:12:59,240 --> 01:12:59,439 Speaker 8: to do. 1314 01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:00,280 Speaker 3: You know. 1315 01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:05,760 Speaker 8: First of all, there's a level of consciousness and commitment 1316 01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:10,240 Speaker 8: that goes into doing what we're doing. And I'm not 1317 01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:12,920 Speaker 8: patting ourselves on the back or anything like that, but 1318 01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:16,960 Speaker 8: there's a level of wakefulness as far as everything that's 1319 01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,479 Speaker 8: going on, and not everybody's there. Not all black people 1320 01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:25,040 Speaker 8: are there yet, and many will not will not be there. 1321 01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:30,760 Speaker 8: But that's a part of the foundation of it. I mean, 1322 01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:34,160 Speaker 8: I did a spin at since I've been on the 1323 01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:37,120 Speaker 8: West Coast. You know, I have a whole a family 1324 01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:39,880 Speaker 8: out here, obviously, and we had Chipped. My wife and 1325 01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:43,559 Speaker 8: I had children and our whole team holly girls. They're 1326 01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:45,920 Speaker 8: growing up now. But I've done jobs. I took a 1327 01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:51,519 Speaker 8: job for Google one time doing working with Google Maps, 1328 01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:54,439 Speaker 8: and I went to Google and I was at powow 1329 01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:59,639 Speaker 8: Alto Coupertino and that whole area and that whole complex 1330 01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:04,240 Speaker 8: between uh LA and uh San Francisco area, and I worked, 1331 01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:07,160 Speaker 8: was at the cafeteria and I saw the population and 1332 01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:10,439 Speaker 8: I saw who was in there. With regards to was 1333 01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:12,680 Speaker 8: where the black people. There is very hue, you know, 1334 01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:15,920 Speaker 8: but there are. But but I'm sure those black folks 1335 01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:19,519 Speaker 8: Virginia's are doing amazing things. And what's happening is these 1336 01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:24,160 Speaker 8: people are are getting you know, getting paid to you know, 1337 01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:28,200 Speaker 8: to uh to express this talent, being in AI, being 1338 01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:31,680 Speaker 8: in technology, being in engineering, and there's always going to 1339 01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:34,639 Speaker 8: be a challenge a lot of times when it comes 1340 01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:41,960 Speaker 8: to bringing that talent back to us where it may 1341 01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:46,040 Speaker 8: may matter, or giving it, you know, somewhere else where 1342 01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:50,720 Speaker 8: you getting paid, get getting that checked. So every now 1343 01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:54,040 Speaker 8: and then some people say, hey, man, you know you've 1344 01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:56,800 Speaker 8: heard this before. Celebrities need to support, and there was 1345 01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:59,599 Speaker 8: there's no celebrity support on some creative projects. I remember 1346 01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:02,720 Speaker 8: when Spike he was doing X, he was able to 1347 01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:06,320 Speaker 8: generate celebrity of support to get his product and its 1348 01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:10,760 Speaker 8: projects done. But that's not always easy because you think, hey, man, 1349 01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:13,560 Speaker 8: we got enough billionaires, enough millionaires to be able to 1350 01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:16,599 Speaker 8: get these products off the ground and back the distribution, 1351 01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:21,439 Speaker 8: get our distribution done so that people can see our product, 1352 01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:24,760 Speaker 8: and so that the artists and or the creators can 1353 01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:28,719 Speaker 8: feed their families. So, you know, there's always that dilemma, 1354 01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:32,520 Speaker 8: But at the core of it is a consciousness. 1355 01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:33,320 Speaker 7: I think that. 1356 01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:35,760 Speaker 8: So no matter how you journey in life, you've got 1357 01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:37,920 Speaker 8: to take a job here, take a job there. In 1358 01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:39,760 Speaker 8: the back of your mind, on the forefront of your mind, 1359 01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:43,680 Speaker 8: you're always thinking about how you can give back and 1360 01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:48,960 Speaker 8: create and uplift through whatever technology that you're using. 1361 01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:51,840 Speaker 1: Right then, we've got to step aside for a few 1362 01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:53,680 Speaker 1: moments and check the news. Well we come back though, 1363 01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,240 Speaker 1: question let me put the question this way, man, do 1364 01:15:56,360 --> 01:15:59,200 Speaker 1: you think conscious brothers and sisters will get hired by 1365 01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:03,120 Speaker 1: stay with your production Hollywood?

Yeah, 1391 01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:10,360 Speaker 8: how do. 1392 01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:14,320 Speaker 1: Conscious brothers and sists get involved? Do you think they'll 1393 01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:16,080 Speaker 1: hire a conscious brother insistent? 1394 01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:20,840 Speaker 8: I mean, you know, if you walk around with your 1395 01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:24,920 Speaker 8: consciousness on your sleeve, you ain't getting paid through Hollywood 1396 01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:27,240 Speaker 8: unless Hollywood finds some way to get paid through you. 1397 01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:30,519 Speaker 8: They're not running to collect people with a certain kind 1398 01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:34,120 Speaker 8: of cognuans that doesn't make them any money. In their mind, 1399 01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:36,639 Speaker 8: they don't necessarily want to tell those stories off the top, 1400 01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:43,000 Speaker 8: not at all. However, back on the distribution things, and 1401 01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:46,240 Speaker 8: I'm gonna try to say these real quick AI tools 1402 01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:49,599 Speaker 8: that are in existence right now are neither good nor 1403 01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:52,800 Speaker 8: bad necessarily, it depends on how to utilize them. What 1404 01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:55,439 Speaker 8: you're gonna see and in their future is these AI 1405 01:17:55,680 --> 01:18:02,400 Speaker 8: tools are going to be our new distribution platform. And 1406 01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:05,120 Speaker 8: they're gonna because they're growing so quickly, and i mean 1407 01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:09,439 Speaker 8: I'm talking about far faster than exponential growth, These tools 1408 01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:12,519 Speaker 8: themselves are going to be the platforms. So we as 1409 01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:14,639 Speaker 8: black people, got to create these tools. 1410 01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:15,639 Speaker 7: We create, these. 1411 01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:19,439 Speaker 8: Tools will be in the distribution sheet number. Netflix started off, 1412 01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:23,040 Speaker 8: as you know, you mail in some money and then 1413 01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:27,400 Speaker 8: they send you a VHS or a DVD back in 1414 01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:31,200 Speaker 8: the day, and now it's morphed into a major distribution platform. 1415 01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:34,920 Speaker 8: But because it's on the Internet, you two can have 1416 01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:40,240 Speaker 8: a major distribution platform. And so AI is actually going 1417 01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:43,200 Speaker 8: to make it easier for you to have your own 1418 01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:48,519 Speaker 8: distribution platform if that's what you choose to do the Internet. 1419 01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:52,760 Speaker 8: Never before in history has there been an opportunity. You know, 1420 01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:55,760 Speaker 8: distribution has always been in the thing you always back 1421 01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:57,240 Speaker 8: in the day, you know, you had to have a 1422 01:18:57,320 --> 01:19:01,200 Speaker 8: relationship with satellite, you had to have a relationship if 1423 01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:04,160 Speaker 8: you were in music with all the record stores, et cetera, 1424 01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:07,200 Speaker 8: et cetera. A number four in history has it been 1425 01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:12,559 Speaker 8: potentially easy as easy it is as it is today. 1426 01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:15,200 Speaker 8: Not that it's easy, but it's never been as easy 1427 01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:18,080 Speaker 8: to today get on a You can use AI to 1428 01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:21,920 Speaker 8: create a website that's a distribution platform. Now you don't 1429 01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:24,160 Speaker 8: have no followers yet, Now you got to figure out 1430 01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:28,240 Speaker 8: how to fumbel them to your website, which black folks 1431 01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:31,360 Speaker 8: have been geniuses at figuring out how to get distribution. 1432 01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:34,719 Speaker 8: Right there in DC, you got the legend Holly Grima 1433 01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:37,400 Speaker 8: when he dropped his film stan Kopa back in the 1434 01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:41,439 Speaker 8: eighties nineties, Right I mean, he went church to church 1435 01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:46,600 Speaker 8: to tell the story and he created his own distribution 1436 01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:50,160 Speaker 8: outlet in order to get those stories out. Now, they 1437 01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:52,240 Speaker 8: might not have made one hundred million dollars in the 1438 01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:54,600 Speaker 8: first couple of years, but believe it or not, not 1439 01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:59,360 Speaker 8: right now, with the distribution possibilities of the the Internet, 1440 01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:04,120 Speaker 8: of creating your own Netflix and creating your own getting 1441 01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:07,719 Speaker 8: together with some people of like mine, and creating outlets, 1442 01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:12,200 Speaker 8: you can actually create these networks. Like I said, Isaac 1443 01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:16,640 Speaker 8: Hayes's son has one creator called fan Base, which is 1444 01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:21,800 Speaker 8: a social media platform. Facebook is a distribution platform. It's 1445 01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:25,360 Speaker 8: just distributing conversations and stuff like that. And for a minute, 1446 01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:28,559 Speaker 8: Facebook was distributing you know, video content. 1447 01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:28,920 Speaker 7: Well. 1448 01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:35,280 Speaker 8: Fan Base, Isaac Hayes's son's company, is a social media 1449 01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:39,719 Speaker 8: platform where you know, artists can go about distributing their songs, 1450 01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:42,840 Speaker 8: their music, video clips, et cetera. So it all depends 1451 01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:46,400 Speaker 8: on just how the type of programming that you want 1452 01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:50,000 Speaker 8: to distribute and also having the patience to put together 1453 01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:52,920 Speaker 8: the money to put together the financial models to get 1454 01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:56,679 Speaker 8: those things out there. Like you said yourself, Miss Carter, 1455 01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:59,880 Speaker 8: you have the talent, but it's now it's a matter 1456 01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:04,760 Speaker 8: of utilizing that talent, combined with our expertise and our 1457 01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:07,880 Speaker 8: understanding of some of these new tools in order to 1458 01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:11,560 Speaker 8: get those images and ideas out there. And that absolutely 1459 01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:13,560 Speaker 8: is very important. At the end of the day, you 1460 01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:17,080 Speaker 8: cannot tell your story the way you want it to 1461 01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:21,040 Speaker 8: be told by going through people who have who don't 1462 01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:23,040 Speaker 8: have your interest at heart, in no type of way. 1463 01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:25,760 Speaker 8: And we keep seeing that that being told over and 1464 01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:27,719 Speaker 8: over and over and over and over again. 1465 01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:29,400 Speaker 4: Brothers. 1466 01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:34,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, Obi, I'm just listening to Obi.

And I'm not I'm not a judgement where 1507 01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:40,559 Speaker 8: someone's level of consciousness is, but people that I would 1508 01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:43,600 Speaker 8: perceive as being conscious brothers. There's a there's an organization 1509 01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:46,599 Speaker 8: that we work with, African Artists Association, the Three A's, 1510 01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:50,880 Speaker 8: which is pushing just the game forward in terms of 1511 01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:57,520 Speaker 8: just being in production and being of African descent in Hollywood. 1512 01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:01,280 Speaker 8: And they're an excellent organization and they bring people from 1513 01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:05,120 Speaker 8: all over the diaspora together to work on productions, not 1514 01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:08,200 Speaker 8: just AI productions, but I mean all kind of productions, uh, 1515 01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:12,400 Speaker 8: film productions, documentaries, stories about Africa, things that you've never, never, 1516 01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:15,439 Speaker 8: never seen before.

And my wife pointed this out to me, 1522 01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:35,000 Speaker 8: she should, you know, everybody has a different role, everybody 1523 01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:36,560 Speaker 8: has a different has a destiny. You're going to have 1524 01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:40,800 Speaker 8: some people that are consciousness oriented who work inside the 1525 01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:43,880 Speaker 8: system and bring in that good intel back to us 1526 01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:45,479 Speaker 8: so that we can up our game. 1527 01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:46,120 Speaker 7: Right. 1528 01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:48,120 Speaker 8: But then you have some people that work inside the 1529 01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:50,920 Speaker 8: system and they bringing in the intel, their consciousness level 1530 01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:53,720 Speaker 8: is maybe not not not there yet and that's not 1531 01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:56,080 Speaker 8: their destiny. But then there's some people who work outside 1532 01:24:56,120 --> 01:25:00,920 Speaker 8: of these different systems, and you know, they're piece of 1533 01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:06,120 Speaker 8: stuff together on the grassroot with consciousness and building new concepts, 1534 01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:08,840 Speaker 8: the new constructs to try to move move, move the 1535 01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:12,680 Speaker 8: game forward.

He taught that in college, told 1805 01:39:26,120 --> 01:39:28,519 Speaker 1: people to become critical thinkers. And that's what we're trying 1806 01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:30,439 Speaker 1: to do every day here, trying to make people think 1807 01:39:30,479 --> 01:39:33,760 Speaker 1: for themselves.

The uh you know, the over three hundred 1828 01:40:49,680 --> 01:40:55,120 Speaker 7: thousand black federal workers being dismissed, being fired, you know, 1829 01:40:55,360 --> 01:41:01,840 Speaker 7: the serious attack on black museums, on the since Smithsonian, 1830 01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:07,439 Speaker 7: on the African American Museum, cultural all the cultural production 1831 01:41:07,760 --> 01:41:10,479 Speaker 7: that black folk have done in this country.

All of that's in danger now. So the 1835 01:41:26,760 --> 01:41:30,960 Speaker 7: youth are going to have to come up with another 1836 01:41:31,120 --> 01:41:36,639 Speaker 7: game plan to respond to the to this new danger. 1837 01:41:37,720 --> 01:41:41,720 Speaker 7: If there is no new plan, what we have been 1838 01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:44,240 Speaker 7: doing for the last three hundred years kind of goes 1839 01:41:44,280 --> 01:41:48,360 Speaker 7: in their toilet, because you have the you know, the 1840 01:41:48,760 --> 01:41:53,840 Speaker 7: taking charge of the government by people who don't seem 1841 01:41:53,880 --> 01:41:58,280 Speaker 7: to care about law, They don't seem to care about spiritualities. 1842 01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:02,920 Speaker 7: They only care about power, the only care about I'm 1843 01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:07,400 Speaker 7: in charge. I'm going to force onto you whatever I 1844 01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:10,800 Speaker 7: want to. A young folk are going to have to 1845 01:42:10,880 --> 01:42:15,240 Speaker 7: come up with a different plan, a plan for uh, 1846 01:42:15,680 --> 01:42:18,960 Speaker 7: you know, which may include AI, which may include a 1847 01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:21,400 Speaker 7: whole lot of new stuff. But they're going to have 1848 01:42:21,479 --> 01:42:26,639 Speaker 7: to come up with a new plan for what black 1849 01:42:26,720 --> 01:42:29,360 Speaker 7: folk have to have if we're going to spend this country. 1850 01:42:31,200 --> 01:42:34,479 Speaker 1: Thank you that part Dr Horn about him. If we 1851 01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:36,320 Speaker 1: stay in this country because some folks want to cut 1852 01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:38,560 Speaker 1: and run, are you opposed to that or do you 1853 01:42:38,600 --> 01:42:39,599 Speaker 1: think we should stay in fight? 1854 01:42:39,880 --> 01:42:43,000 Speaker 7: Oh, I'm not opposed to that at all. I'm not 1855 01:42:43,960 --> 01:42:46,120 Speaker 7: and I'm not saying cut and run. I wouldn't put 1856 01:42:46,160 --> 01:42:51,840 Speaker 7: it that way. I think because we have gained a 1857 01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:55,519 Speaker 7: lot of wisdom and a lot of experience and what 1858 01:42:55,680 --> 01:43:02,120 Speaker 7: we've had to deal with in this hellhole called America, 1859 01:43:03,760 --> 01:43:08,000 Speaker 7: that we need to expand our options. What I'm what 1860 01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:15,800 Speaker 7: I'm advocating is that we need to get dual citizenships 1861 01:43:16,360 --> 01:43:20,280 Speaker 7: in other places in the world. In other words, we 1862 01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:24,400 Speaker 7: need to have a place to go if things get 1863 01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:31,120 Speaker 7: too crazy over here, if the Ice starts attacking Black 1864 01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:36,160 Speaker 7: folks like they are attacking Latinos, you know, we need 1865 01:43:36,240 --> 01:43:39,519 Speaker 7: to have another place to go. And so, yeah, we 1866 01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:49,759 Speaker 7: I'm advocating African citizenships for anybody interested in having another 1867 01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:52,640 Speaker 7: place to go. Ghana is a good place. You know. 1868 01:43:52,760 --> 01:43:59,880 Speaker 7: They have a very good program for dual citizenships here 1869 01:44:00,040 --> 01:44:02,519 Speaker 7: early on to uh. 1870 01:44:04,360 --> 01:44:07,479 Speaker 1: Yeah and hold doc, I just looked looked at the cocky. 1871 01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:09,320 Speaker 1: We got to take a break at seventeen after the top. 1872 01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:11,720 Speaker 1: Day'll let you finish your thought when we get back. 1873 01:44:12,240 --> 01:44:14,479 Speaker 1: You want to join our discussion with doctor David Horn, 1874 01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:16,200 Speaker 1: reach out to us at eight hundred and four or 1875 01:44:16,240 --> 01:44:19,200 Speaker 1: five zero seventy eight seventy six, and we took all 1876 01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:22,040 Speaker 1: these phone calls.

As I mentioned, doctor Horne is 1880 01:44:28,840 --> 01:44:32,200 Speaker 1: at Panapricus and a critical thinking scholar. He taught critical 1881 01:44:32,240 --> 01:44:35,479 Speaker 1: thinking and college. This is something that we we implore 1882 01:44:35,560 --> 01:44:37,799 Speaker 1: folks to do on this program to be critical thinkers. 1883 01:44:37,880 --> 01:44:40,559 Speaker 1: You think for yourself, free your mind, is what we say, 1884 01:44:40,600 --> 01:44:42,920 Speaker 1: and that's what that means. Think for yourself. And this 1885 01:44:43,080 --> 01:44:46,000 Speaker 1: is what doctor doctor Horn teaches or taught in the 1886 01:44:46,040 --> 01:44:48,920 Speaker 1: collegiate level. Doctor Horn, you've given us some ideas for 1887 01:44:48,960 --> 01:44:51,000 Speaker 1: folks who you know because she says that things get crazy. 1888 01:44:51,040 --> 01:44:53,439 Speaker 1: Every time we think it can get crazy, it goes 1889 01:44:53,479 --> 01:44:56,519 Speaker 1: to another level. You know, you think, wow, is it 1890 01:44:56,920 --> 01:44:58,840 Speaker 1: this is we stave haven't been a full year yet 1891 01:44:59,439 --> 01:45:00,520 Speaker 1: with this is administration. 1892 01:45:00,880 --> 01:45:04,080 Speaker 7: But you're saying for the films who they had a plan. 1893 01:45:05,120 --> 01:45:07,479 Speaker 1: Right, But well, I understand that all that plan is 1894 01:45:07,520 --> 01:45:11,000 Speaker 1: almost twenty twenty five. Project twenty twenty five. Well, all 1895 01:45:11,040 --> 01:45:14,719 Speaker 1: the the homemarks of that plane were just about completing, 1896 01:45:14,840 --> 01:45:16,559 Speaker 1: so they've got to take it to the next level. 1897 01:45:16,600 --> 01:45:19,040 Speaker 1: So we will wait and see what whatever that is. 1898 01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:21,680 Speaker 1: Because obviously they've succeeded in what they said they were 1899 01:45:21,720 --> 01:45:23,680 Speaker 1: going to do, So what's the next level? So most 1900 01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:25,560 Speaker 1: of us who've seen that when falling, what's going on 1901 01:45:25,680 --> 01:45:27,840 Speaker 1: a waiting for what's the next step because, as we 1902 01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:30,840 Speaker 1: mentioned Project twenty twenty five outline, they told us what 1903 01:45:30,880 --> 01:45:33,280 Speaker 1: they're going to do, and they've accomplished most of it, 1904 01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:34,960 Speaker 1: at least ninety percent of what they're going to do, 1905 01:45:35,280 --> 01:45:37,400 Speaker 1: So let's see what's what's the next level. But you're 1906 01:45:37,400 --> 01:45:39,519 Speaker 1: saying that for us folks, for folks who want to 1907 01:45:39,560 --> 01:45:42,639 Speaker 1: stay here, though we should, we should also have a plan, correct, 1908 01:45:42,920 --> 01:45:43,639 Speaker 1: we must. 1909 01:45:43,640 --> 01:45:47,000 Speaker 7: We must have a plan. Yeah, we we we we 1910 01:45:47,160 --> 01:45:53,000 Speaker 7: need to lay out exactly what we need to be 1911 01:45:53,320 --> 01:46:01,000 Speaker 7: successful and productive and if we want to call that happy, 1912 01:46:01,840 --> 01:46:08,320 Speaker 7: we must have our plans for our development for us. 1913 01:46:08,760 --> 01:46:12,720 Speaker 7: We cannot depend on other people to take care of us. 1914 01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:17,479 Speaker 7: We cannot depend on people who are not us to 1915 01:46:17,680 --> 01:46:25,160 Speaker 7: be mindful of us. Yeah. And so what I'm advocating 1916 01:46:25,479 --> 01:46:32,799 Speaker 7: is wherever forward thinking African people live in this country, 1917 01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:37,160 Speaker 7: we need to be having think tanks. We need to 1918 01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:47,600 Speaker 7: have a series of sessions where folk who understand the 1919 01:46:47,800 --> 01:46:52,760 Speaker 7: necessity of laying out a plan to move forward have 1920 01:46:52,920 --> 01:46:55,639 Speaker 7: to get together and work that out, not get together 1921 01:46:55,680 --> 01:46:57,679 Speaker 7: and call each other a bunch of names. Not crazy. 1922 01:46:58,720 --> 01:47:02,439 Speaker 7: This is now the time to lay out plans to 1923 01:47:02,560 --> 01:47:06,200 Speaker 7: move forward. So, yeah, I'm advocating that. We Let me 1924 01:47:06,280 --> 01:47:09,080 Speaker 7: give you an example in California. You know, we still 1925 01:47:09,120 --> 01:47:14,559 Speaker 7: have a number of folks who are advocating reparations as 1926 01:47:14,640 --> 01:47:17,519 Speaker 7: we do another part of the country. And that's great, 1927 01:47:18,120 --> 01:47:22,080 Speaker 7: but right now that's not on the table for the 1928 01:47:22,240 --> 01:47:27,360 Speaker 7: people who are in charge of state government. They have 1929 01:47:28,280 --> 01:47:31,160 Speaker 7: talked a little about it, they've shown some interest, and 1930 01:47:31,280 --> 01:47:36,040 Speaker 7: now they've moved on. If reparations are still part of 1931 01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:41,240 Speaker 7: our agenda still part of our plan for the future. 1932 01:47:41,520 --> 01:47:44,000 Speaker 7: We need to lay out there's steps in that plan 1933 01:47:44,080 --> 01:47:47,639 Speaker 7: because nobody else is paying attention. In spite of all 1934 01:47:47,800 --> 01:47:51,880 Speaker 7: that we have were in California, the study, you know, 1935 01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:56,400 Speaker 7: the legislative interest. We have not gotten it and it's 1936 01:47:56,479 --> 01:48:02,760 Speaker 7: not going to come unless we we African folk, sit down, 1937 01:48:04,240 --> 01:48:07,439 Speaker 7: parley we not. We need to sit down, respect each 1938 01:48:07,479 --> 01:48:10,160 Speaker 7: other and lay out some plans. Not argue and call 1939 01:48:10,200 --> 01:48:12,479 Speaker 7: it judge of a bunch of names. We need to 1940 01:48:12,600 --> 01:48:16,360 Speaker 7: plan to move forward. Yeah, that's what i'mnavigating. 1941 01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:20,160 Speaker 1: Well, you know, the plans for reparation as have they've 1942 01:48:20,200 --> 01:48:22,559 Speaker 1: fallen by the wayside. They waned a little bit because 1943 01:48:22,600 --> 01:48:24,280 Speaker 1: of what's going on in the country right now. 1944 01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:30,759 Speaker 7: They have waned because we got stale. We got stale 1945 01:48:30,880 --> 01:48:35,920 Speaker 7: and what we were asking, we've been focused on white people. 1946 01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:39,000 Speaker 7: You did us wrong. You have to admit that you 1947 01:48:39,120 --> 01:48:44,320 Speaker 7: did us wrong and and and show us some digest. 1948 01:48:44,680 --> 01:48:48,240 Speaker 7: You have to show us some kind of payment, some 1949 01:48:48,479 --> 01:48:52,120 Speaker 7: kind of result of your feeling sorry. In other words, 1950 01:48:52,400 --> 01:48:57,000 Speaker 7: set up a commission to study who was and was 1951 01:48:57,120 --> 01:49:01,160 Speaker 7: not a slave and where they're am sisters, where they're 1952 01:49:01,479 --> 01:49:05,840 Speaker 7: where their family members now live. So they can be compensated. 1953 01:49:06,520 --> 01:49:09,000 Speaker 7: We need you to do that. Well, white people have 1954 01:49:09,160 --> 01:49:13,000 Speaker 7: decided no, we're not going to do that, so do 1955 01:49:13,160 --> 01:49:15,280 Speaker 7: we And since we don't have any plans to make 1956 01:49:15,360 --> 01:49:18,400 Speaker 7: them do it, we need to come up with some 1957 01:49:18,560 --> 01:49:23,360 Speaker 7: alternative plans that we are going to be successful. And 1958 01:49:23,520 --> 01:49:26,760 Speaker 7: we have not done that in California yet. We are 1959 01:49:26,840 --> 01:49:36,280 Speaker 7: still attacking black legislators who cannot get passed what we 1960 01:49:36,400 --> 01:49:39,719 Speaker 7: think needs to be passed. So you got black folks 1961 01:49:39,800 --> 01:49:47,320 Speaker 7: from the community going to the state capital, basically grabbing 1962 01:49:48,200 --> 01:49:54,679 Speaker 7: state legislators, black state legislators, buy their coat, their coat, 1963 01:49:54,840 --> 01:49:55,880 Speaker 7: arms and stuff. 1964 01:49:55,840 --> 01:49:55,920 Speaker 5: And. 1965 01:49:57,600 --> 01:50:01,360 Speaker 7: Basically fussing at them, attacking them, calling a lot of 1966 01:50:01,400 --> 01:50:06,240 Speaker 7: their names because they were unsuccessful in getting the other 1967 01:50:06,840 --> 01:50:11,439 Speaker 7: white legislators and the governor to give us what we 1968 01:50:11,520 --> 01:50:15,519 Speaker 7: said we wanted. It didn't happen last year, it did 1969 01:50:15,600 --> 01:50:18,519 Speaker 7: not happen this year. It's not going to happen next 1970 01:50:18,640 --> 01:50:22,519 Speaker 7: year unless we change our plan. We need to have 1971 01:50:22,640 --> 01:50:24,720 Speaker 7: a plan to move forward, and we don't really have that. 1972 01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:29,160 Speaker 7: Too much action out left planning twenty. 1973 01:50:28,920 --> 01:50:31,360 Speaker 1: Eight After top that with doctor David Horn, Doctor Horne 1974 01:50:31,439 --> 01:50:33,280 Speaker 1: is telling us we need a plan family. We just 1975 01:50:33,320 --> 01:50:35,920 Speaker 1: don't have a plan. We're just floating through life without 1976 01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:38,120 Speaker 1: a plan. Other folks, they always have a plan, and 1977 01:50:38,439 --> 01:50:40,519 Speaker 1: we're part of their planning, so they stay on colder. 1978 01:50:40,960 --> 01:50:42,680 Speaker 1: That's what Neelie Fuller's been teaching. 1979 01:50:42,479 --> 01:50:42,760 Speaker 10: Us to do. 1980 01:50:43,320 --> 01:50:46,280 Speaker 1: Eight hundred and four five zero seventy eight seventy six. 1981 01:50:46,360 --> 01:50:49,080 Speaker 1: John is calling from DC as a question for doctor 1982 01:50:49,120 --> 01:50:52,000 Speaker 1: Hornet's on line one Grand Rising Johnny on with doctor 1983 01:50:52,080 --> 01:50:53,719 Speaker 1: horn Hey. 1984 01:50:53,640 --> 01:50:58,840 Speaker 7: Brother, are you doing the Grand Rising?

The authority of 1988 01:51:12,160 --> 01:51:19,120 Speaker 9: the state over its people resides in its war power policies. Now, 1989 01:51:19,360 --> 01:51:25,759 Speaker 9: it's been an ongoing controversial conversation on this show. Should 1990 01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:30,960 Speaker 9: our young people or people in general, go into the 1991 01:51:31,160 --> 01:51:36,040 Speaker 9: military as they're moving these troops right now, as we're 1992 01:51:36,120 --> 01:51:42,639 Speaker 9: speaking into Venezeuela planning an unjust war to take these 1993 01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:47,679 Speaker 9: people's oil, What say you, sir, to our young people, 1994 01:51:48,200 --> 01:51:53,439 Speaker 9: about participating in this genocidal war they're planning in this 1995 01:51:53,640 --> 01:51:58,519 Speaker 9: military unjustly? What do you say that's it. 1996 01:52:00,120 --> 01:52:00,320 Speaker 8: Won? 1997 01:52:01,120 --> 01:52:08,400 Speaker 7: The participation in the seizing of anybody else's property we 1998 01:52:08,640 --> 01:52:15,120 Speaker 7: need to stay away from. But joining your military is 1999 01:52:15,360 --> 01:52:22,200 Speaker 7: a quality job, quality employment. So we don't want to 2000 01:52:22,240 --> 01:52:25,120 Speaker 7: tell our youth not to take good jobs. But I 2001 01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:31,160 Speaker 7: agree with you that the leadership of the American military 2002 01:52:32,560 --> 01:52:36,120 Speaker 7: is incompetent. It's crazy, I mean, except should not be 2003 01:52:36,240 --> 01:52:41,200 Speaker 7: in charge of anybody's military. The issue that you were 2004 01:52:41,320 --> 01:52:45,519 Speaker 7: raising about Venezuela, that goes back to the Monroe Doctrine, 2005 01:52:46,720 --> 01:52:50,519 Speaker 7: already back to eighteen twenty three when it was decided 2006 01:52:50,600 --> 01:52:56,479 Speaker 7: by the American president at the time that South America, 2007 01:52:56,600 --> 01:53:00,839 Speaker 7: Central America, the Caribbean islands, they belong to this country, 2008 01:53:01,840 --> 01:53:05,080 Speaker 7: you know, because we are bigger and stronger than anybody else. 2009 01:53:05,920 --> 01:53:09,400 Speaker 7: We are in charge and we can come to any 2010 01:53:09,520 --> 01:53:11,920 Speaker 7: of your areas and take what we want from you. 2011 01:53:12,600 --> 01:53:16,400 Speaker 7: That's been part and part of the American government since 2012 01:53:16,439 --> 01:53:22,439 Speaker 7: the nineteenth century. Most presidents have not enforced that idea, 2013 01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:26,280 Speaker 7: although it was always understood. The president we have now 2014 01:53:26,560 --> 01:53:29,839 Speaker 7: because you have to know how to be president is shaking. 2015 01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:36,240 Speaker 7: During that jinguistic shaking, what we called sword rattling, you're 2016 01:53:36,280 --> 01:53:40,720 Speaker 7: doing that again talking about I'm stronger than you, so 2017 01:53:40,800 --> 01:53:43,559 Speaker 7: I'll take what i want. I'll push you around. They 2018 01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:46,920 Speaker 7: are murdering people. They're not having in their trials. They're 2019 01:53:46,960 --> 01:53:53,160 Speaker 7: not deciding that we have real evidence against you as 2020 01:53:53,200 --> 01:53:58,120 Speaker 7: a drug trafficker. We're just blowing people up out of 2021 01:53:58,200 --> 01:54:01,600 Speaker 7: the water so that we can and didn't lead that 2022 01:54:02,880 --> 01:54:08,840 Speaker 7: to try an attempted to takeover of a country that 2023 01:54:08,960 --> 01:54:13,160 Speaker 7: we believe we own. Anyway, America owned everything here. That's 2024 01:54:13,200 --> 01:54:18,599 Speaker 7: what the Monroe Doctrine said. In terms of young people 2025 01:54:19,360 --> 01:54:24,160 Speaker 7: joining a military, which may order them to go and 2026 01:54:24,360 --> 01:54:29,559 Speaker 7: seize other people's property. Uh, now, I'm not in favor 2027 01:54:29,600 --> 01:54:32,560 Speaker 7: of that at all. But I am in favor of 2028 01:54:32,680 --> 01:54:38,560 Speaker 7: young people getting jobs, and the military is a very 2029 01:54:38,640 --> 01:54:39,280 Speaker 7: decent job. 2030 01:54:41,760 --> 01:54:44,560 Speaker 1: Got you, Thanks John, Thanks your call. But you know, 2031 01:54:44,720 --> 01:54:47,480 Speaker 1: doctor Horne, going back to some of the other you know, 2032 01:54:48,120 --> 01:54:51,360 Speaker 1: save Vietnam for example, and I think that we swear 2033 01:54:51,440 --> 01:54:54,360 Speaker 1: John was going with this question where our people, our 2034 01:54:54,440 --> 01:54:56,720 Speaker 1: brothers at the time, we'll put on the front line, 2035 01:54:57,320 --> 01:54:58,200 Speaker 1: and we. 2036 01:54:58,320 --> 01:55:04,160 Speaker 7: Took them and Dad very very quickly, you know, seconds 2037 01:55:04,680 --> 01:55:08,240 Speaker 7: from getting to out of the boat. If you got 2038 01:55:08,280 --> 01:55:11,480 Speaker 7: out of the boat, we were killed. Yeah. That and 2039 01:55:11,600 --> 01:55:13,720 Speaker 7: I don't remember Vietnam. I was supposed to be going 2040 01:55:13,760 --> 01:55:15,200 Speaker 7: to Vietnam, and I refused to go. 2041 01:55:17,960 --> 01:55:19,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, but some of these younger folks don't know what 2042 01:55:20,040 --> 01:55:22,720 Speaker 1: happened in Vietnam. There's a whole you know. They joined 2043 01:55:22,760 --> 01:55:26,000 Speaker 1: the military. Kevin is one of them, and they had 2044 01:55:26,200 --> 01:55:29,320 Speaker 1: they had a good time, they weren't. You know, Kevin, 2045 01:55:29,360 --> 01:55:32,200 Speaker 1: you can chine in if you want. He went into 2046 01:55:32,280 --> 01:55:35,720 Speaker 1: the Navy. But it was a different era then, you know, 2047 01:55:36,080 --> 01:55:39,520 Speaker 1: from the folks. I remember Vietnam as well. 2048 01:55:40,280 --> 01:55:40,520 Speaker 4: People. 2049 01:55:40,800 --> 01:55:43,320 Speaker 1: Look, I remember in peace driving around my neighborhood looking 2050 01:55:43,360 --> 01:55:46,440 Speaker 1: for folks. Some brothers who had got out and disappeared, 2051 01:55:47,040 --> 01:55:51,160 Speaker 1: and the brothers who came back, every single one of 2052 01:55:51,160 --> 01:55:53,800 Speaker 1: them seemed to have some sort of problem, emotional problem, 2053 01:55:54,560 --> 01:56:01,000 Speaker 1: you know, that physical problem and an agent orange and 2054 01:56:01,080 --> 01:56:03,480 Speaker 1: all that was was taking place. So I think it's 2055 01:56:03,560 --> 01:56:06,160 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a generational thing whether or not you 2056 01:56:06,200 --> 01:56:08,640 Speaker 1: should join the military. Because you said, you mentioned there 2057 01:56:08,680 --> 01:56:11,440 Speaker 1: was there was there's great things or great advantages when 2058 01:56:11,520 --> 01:56:13,640 Speaker 1: he joined the military. But at one time, correct me 2059 01:56:13,640 --> 01:56:16,280 Speaker 1: if I'm wrong though, that when our folks went joined 2060 01:56:16,280 --> 01:56:18,480 Speaker 1: the military, when they got back, the GI bill was 2061 01:56:18,520 --> 01:56:20,760 Speaker 1: they didn't get the rewards of the GI build and 2062 01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:24,160 Speaker 1: the Whites Builtic folks got the rewards of the GI Bill. 2063 01:56:24,320 --> 01:56:25,520 Speaker 4: Do you have any information about that? 2064 01:56:26,320 --> 01:56:30,360 Speaker 7: And now you're quite right. The even though the GI 2065 01:56:30,520 --> 01:56:34,880 Speaker 7: Bill was supposed to cover any American who has served, 2066 01:56:36,360 --> 01:56:40,200 Speaker 7: for the most part, people who had to implement the 2067 01:56:40,360 --> 01:56:43,920 Speaker 7: GI Bill were like the same people who were implementing 2068 01:56:44,400 --> 01:56:48,520 Speaker 7: insurance policies and building policies and different parts of the 2069 01:56:49,320 --> 01:56:53,480 Speaker 7: country there racious attal. So a lot of folks who 2070 01:56:54,400 --> 01:56:58,080 Speaker 7: were veterans, were black veterans, did not get a chance 2071 01:56:58,200 --> 01:57:01,680 Speaker 7: to enjoy, you know, the GI Bill, you know, get 2072 01:57:01,760 --> 01:57:04,000 Speaker 7: money to go to college, get money to buy a house, 2073 01:57:04,080 --> 01:57:09,720 Speaker 7: get money to provide for a family. Again, that was 2074 01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:13,520 Speaker 7: not because the legislation was not there. That was not 2075 01:57:13,840 --> 01:57:16,240 Speaker 7: because it was not in the plan. It was because 2076 01:57:16,320 --> 01:57:21,040 Speaker 7: of the people who were implementing they were racist. And yeah, 2077 01:57:21,120 --> 01:57:22,920 Speaker 7: we did not get a lot of what we were 2078 01:57:22,920 --> 01:57:28,400 Speaker 7: supposed to have gotten. And I would imagine since being 2079 01:57:28,520 --> 01:57:31,040 Speaker 7: in the military means that you have to follow the 2080 01:57:31,240 --> 01:57:37,320 Speaker 7: orders of somebody else, that we will not get everything 2081 01:57:37,400 --> 01:57:42,720 Speaker 7: that we need for our own development by joining the 2082 01:57:43,360 --> 01:57:46,040 Speaker 7: American military. But again it is a decent job. 2083 01:57:47,600 --> 01:57:49,120 Speaker 1: Well, I got a tweet for you at twenty six 2084 01:57:49,160 --> 01:57:51,360 Speaker 1: away from the Top down two that says Marco Rubio 2085 01:57:51,480 --> 01:57:54,240 Speaker 1: is leading this charge. He has known that Trump has 2086 01:57:54,320 --> 01:57:57,320 Speaker 1: been trying to build resorts in Cuba and Venezuela for years. 2087 01:57:57,840 --> 01:58:00,200 Speaker 1: And the answer is always know and that person it's 2088 01:58:00,200 --> 01:58:02,040 Speaker 1: the answer is not to join them, not to get 2089 01:58:02,080 --> 01:58:06,360 Speaker 1: involved in the fight. If the troops are sent to Venezuela, 2090 01:58:06,440 --> 01:58:08,400 Speaker 1: troops on the ground, that is because he's saying that 2091 01:58:08,680 --> 01:58:12,680 Speaker 1: we've got warships in the Caribrian surrounding there. Trend down 2092 01:58:12,760 --> 01:58:15,720 Speaker 1: Tobago is giving them an okay to have their worships there. 2093 01:58:16,040 --> 01:58:19,120 Speaker 1: So for some people say no, so so who are 2094 01:58:19,120 --> 01:58:22,320 Speaker 1: the people are saying yes, Uh, the. 2095 01:58:24,360 --> 01:58:29,000 Speaker 7: The people who basically are agreeing with part of what 2096 01:58:29,080 --> 01:58:32,480 Speaker 7: I said about. Look, joining your military is a job. 2097 01:58:32,760 --> 01:58:36,120 Speaker 7: It has a lot of developmental steps. You do have 2098 01:58:36,240 --> 01:58:41,760 Speaker 7: to follow somebody else's order, but it is good for 2099 01:58:42,920 --> 01:58:44,960 Speaker 7: you know, the rewards that come out of it in 2100 01:58:45,120 --> 01:58:49,440 Speaker 7: terms of building a family, that kind of thing. I'm 2101 01:58:49,520 --> 01:58:56,040 Speaker 7: not a military person, but and when they give you 2102 01:58:56,880 --> 01:59:00,280 Speaker 7: an order which is against your principles, you have to 2103 01:59:00,360 --> 01:59:02,120 Speaker 7: be able to step back and say I'm not doing that. 2104 01:59:03,400 --> 01:59:05,520 Speaker 7: But you know that's very hard to do. You know, 2105 01:59:05,600 --> 01:59:09,760 Speaker 7: once you are in the military, it's a diceary situation. 2106 01:59:10,080 --> 01:59:13,280 Speaker 7: It is a come see, comes out kind of thing. 2107 01:59:13,360 --> 01:59:19,000 Speaker 7: It's not. There is no definitive answer anybody can give 2108 01:59:19,080 --> 01:59:22,800 Speaker 7: you for you should join the military or you should 2109 01:59:22,840 --> 01:59:26,200 Speaker 7: not join the military. There is no definitive answer. 2110 01:59:27,440 --> 01:59:28,760 Speaker 4: Yeah. And there's the stories too. 2111 01:59:28,840 --> 01:59:31,880 Speaker 1: Now they route into up immigrants on documented immigrants, and 2112 01:59:31,920 --> 01:59:35,800 Speaker 1: there's a few who were promised the citizenship once they 2113 01:59:35,920 --> 01:59:37,920 Speaker 1: joined the military and fought for this country one and 2114 01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:41,520 Speaker 1: got a purple heart and got kicked out as the 2115 01:59:42,280 --> 01:59:44,840 Speaker 1: country renegged on those promises. And those are the people 2116 01:59:44,880 --> 01:59:47,560 Speaker 1: are supposed to be fighting for us. Your thoughts though, 2117 01:59:47,720 --> 01:59:48,560 Speaker 1: that that's. 2118 01:59:48,480 --> 01:59:52,640 Speaker 7: Because we have leadership right now which does not respect 2119 01:59:54,200 --> 01:59:58,080 Speaker 7: the military. You know, you have people who who never served. 2120 01:59:58,840 --> 02:00:02,760 Speaker 7: Trump never served. He was a draft dodger. Uh, heakesleft, 2121 02:00:03,160 --> 02:00:06,360 Speaker 7: you know. Basically the little he has done in the military, 2122 02:00:06,400 --> 02:00:09,440 Speaker 7: he had an under damn bank. He he has been 2123 02:00:09,520 --> 02:00:13,600 Speaker 7: in almost an hour an hour two c kind of person. 2124 02:00:14,480 --> 02:00:17,760 Speaker 7: The you you know, the military is right now being 2125 02:00:17,880 --> 02:00:21,800 Speaker 7: led by non military people, and that is their problem 2126 02:00:22,240 --> 02:00:26,880 Speaker 7: because they want to misuse the military. The military can 2127 02:00:27,040 --> 02:00:30,520 Speaker 7: be a force for good, but in the hands of 2128 02:00:31,600 --> 02:00:35,920 Speaker 7: criminals and in the hands of wrongdoers, the military can 2129 02:00:36,040 --> 02:00:41,520 Speaker 7: be misused, and this particular military in the United States 2130 02:00:42,280 --> 02:00:46,880 Speaker 7: is right now the most powerful military in history. Does 2131 02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:51,400 Speaker 7: not mean they cannot be defeated, but it has a 2132 02:00:51,520 --> 02:00:54,680 Speaker 7: lot of weapons, more weapons than anybody else, including to 2133 02:00:54,720 --> 02:00:59,360 Speaker 7: show their union or China and China is close though. 2134 02:01:00,080 --> 02:01:02,040 Speaker 1: Hold that thought right there, doctor, We're gonna step aside 2135 02:01:02,040 --> 02:01:03,920 Speaker 1: for a few moments and we talked about the military family. 2136 02:01:03,960 --> 02:01:07,040 Speaker 1: I remember Geronimo Pratt. He went to Vietnap, learned how 2137 02:01:07,440 --> 02:01:09,680 Speaker 1: how to fight, and came back and taught the brothers 2138 02:01:09,880 --> 02:01:10,960 Speaker 1: in the streets how to fight. 2139 02:01:11,160 --> 02:01:11,840 Speaker 4: What are your thoughts? 2140 02:01:11,920 --> 02:01:13,560 Speaker 1: Reach out to us at eight hundred and four or 2141 02:01:13,560 --> 02:01:16,400 Speaker 1: five zero seventy eight seventy six and we take your 2142 02:01:16,400 --> 02:01:19,480 Speaker 1: phone calls next and Grand Rising family, thanks for rolling 2143 02:01:19,520 --> 02:01:21,480 Speaker 1: with us on this Tuesday morning with our guest doctor 2144 02:01:21,600 --> 02:01:23,840 Speaker 1: David Horn.

I just wanted somebody tweeted in response 2154 02:01:47,080 --> 02:01:49,160 Speaker 1: to that tweet who said that Donald Trump was trying 2155 02:01:49,200 --> 02:01:53,280 Speaker 1: the Trump's administration's trying to build resorts in Venezuela and Cuba. Well, 2156 02:01:54,080 --> 02:01:57,600 Speaker 1: from a conversation with marcol Manham says, no, they want 2157 02:01:57,640 --> 02:02:00,240 Speaker 1: the oil that's there. They want the minerals that are 2158 02:02:00,280 --> 02:02:03,000 Speaker 1: in Venezuela, and it's it's only one place that they 2159 02:02:03,040 --> 02:02:05,240 Speaker 1: can be refined to us by the Koch brothers. So 2160 02:02:05,800 --> 02:02:08,960 Speaker 1: that's a connection there. They're really not you know, they're 2161 02:02:09,000 --> 02:02:11,840 Speaker 1: talking about regime change. They're not talking about peace. You know, 2162 02:02:13,400 --> 02:02:14,920 Speaker 1: it's covered with all that. So I want to get 2163 02:02:14,920 --> 02:02:15,680 Speaker 1: your thoughts on that. 2164 02:02:17,720 --> 02:02:20,000 Speaker 7: Well, I agree he had a little to do with peace. 2165 02:02:21,360 --> 02:02:25,320 Speaker 7: This has to do with again, if people go back 2166 02:02:25,360 --> 02:02:31,200 Speaker 7: and look at the Monroe Doctrine that was established in 2167 02:02:31,360 --> 02:02:39,200 Speaker 7: this country by President Monroe in eighteen hundreds, you see 2168 02:02:39,280 --> 02:02:45,680 Speaker 7: this whole idea that America, United States is in charge 2169 02:02:46,400 --> 02:02:49,760 Speaker 7: of the entire hemistry. You know, it's like that that 2170 02:02:49,920 --> 02:02:54,160 Speaker 7: attitude that Trump had about this is not the Gulf 2171 02:02:54,200 --> 02:02:56,960 Speaker 7: of Mexico. This is the Gulf of America. All of 2172 02:02:57,040 --> 02:02:59,840 Speaker 7: this is American. We can do what we want with 2173 02:03:00,240 --> 02:03:06,480 Speaker 7: any area or any territory within our realm. This is 2174 02:03:06,520 --> 02:03:09,600 Speaker 7: a continuation of that. This is not just about oil. 2175 02:03:11,160 --> 02:03:16,920 Speaker 7: This is about control and dominance. It is the fatal 2176 02:03:17,200 --> 02:03:20,440 Speaker 7: flaw of white people being in charge. If you look 2177 02:03:20,560 --> 02:03:28,240 Speaker 7: back at the history of so called Western civilization, for 2178 02:03:28,560 --> 02:03:41,120 Speaker 7: every development forward, for every civilized development forward, education, religion, housing, infrastructure, etc. 2179 02:03:41,840 --> 02:03:44,800 Speaker 7: For every one of those developments that have been this 2180 02:03:45,000 --> 02:03:48,280 Speaker 7: backward step, somebody had to be in charge of the 2181 02:03:48,400 --> 02:03:52,200 Speaker 7: military and dominate. We have to take what we want, 2182 02:03:52,320 --> 02:03:54,320 Speaker 7: We have to force people to do what we want, 2183 02:03:55,360 --> 02:03:59,760 Speaker 7: and they end up killing everybody. The history of white 2184 02:03:59,800 --> 02:04:03,680 Speaker 7: people for being in charge is death and destruction because 2185 02:04:03,760 --> 02:04:08,480 Speaker 7: eventually we are going to try to force people to 2186 02:04:08,600 --> 02:04:10,760 Speaker 7: do what we want when we want them to do it. 2187 02:04:10,840 --> 02:04:13,680 Speaker 7: And that's where we are right now. That's why we 2188 02:04:13,840 --> 02:04:17,560 Speaker 7: need another option. We need to figure out what are 2189 02:04:17,600 --> 02:04:20,600 Speaker 7: we going to do if they go If they go 2190 02:04:20,800 --> 02:04:23,960 Speaker 7: crazy as we think they're going to go, they're going 2191 02:04:24,040 --> 02:04:26,600 Speaker 7: to do. It's not just about the aill in Venezuela. 2192 02:04:26,760 --> 02:04:30,040 Speaker 7: This is just about American power. We can do what 2193 02:04:30,120 --> 02:04:33,160 Speaker 7: we want with whoever we want, whenever we want to. 2194 02:04:33,760 --> 02:04:37,720 Speaker 7: That's that logic, logical power. 2195 02:04:38,520 --> 02:04:40,760 Speaker 1: Fifteen away from the top of our Doctor Horn Johnny's 2196 02:04:40,760 --> 02:04:43,160 Speaker 1: calling from Long Beach out in California is online one 2197 02:04:43,320 --> 02:04:46,720 Speaker 1: grand Rising Johnny on with doctor Horns. 2198 02:04:46,960 --> 02:04:47,840 Speaker 12: Take take my call. 2199 02:04:48,400 --> 02:04:49,040 Speaker 6: Where is to you? 2200 02:04:49,160 --> 02:04:49,400 Speaker 11: Doctor? 2201 02:04:49,680 --> 02:04:50,520 Speaker 8: You know, doctor Horn? 2202 02:04:50,600 --> 02:04:51,200 Speaker 7: I am. 2203 02:04:52,840 --> 02:04:56,520 Speaker 8: Doctor Doctor Small was done last month and and uh 2204 02:04:56,720 --> 02:05:00,480 Speaker 8: we this discussion was about as well U great. 2205 02:05:00,320 --> 02:05:01,200 Speaker 7: Brothers joining them? 2206 02:05:01,680 --> 02:05:02,080 Speaker 8: Can hear me? 2207 02:05:03,080 --> 02:05:05,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, I can give you a great a great scholar 2208 02:05:05,360 --> 02:05:06,560 Speaker 7: and right. 2209 02:05:06,520 --> 02:05:08,960 Speaker 8: If doctor and he was talking about, you know, the people, 2210 02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:12,160 Speaker 8: the young young men should join the military.

Okay, they don't know it, 2218 02:05:33,800 --> 02:05:36,160 Speaker 8: just like you know all that I was seeking out 2219 02:05:36,200 --> 02:05:39,080 Speaker 8: because I had already talked to veterans, you know, when 2220 02:05:39,120 --> 02:05:40,840 Speaker 8: I was working this place, and there they were saying 2221 02:05:40,880 --> 02:05:42,920 Speaker 8: it's like the opportunity that you can have after you 2222 02:05:43,040 --> 02:05:46,480 Speaker 8: get out of the military, right, and and I took 2223 02:05:46,560 --> 02:05:49,040 Speaker 8: and I took those off.

And 2224 02:05:49,360 --> 02:05:51,760 Speaker 8: you know, you know, yeah, you know, I stood I 2225 02:05:51,840 --> 02:05:54,120 Speaker 8: stood up when you were saying about the orders that 2226 02:05:54,360 --> 02:05:57,040 Speaker 8: that you know that weren't right, you know, I about 2227 02:05:57,080 --> 02:05:59,880 Speaker 8: the systems. I bought the system because it's like you know, 2228 02:06:00,280 --> 02:06:03,000 Speaker 8: in the military, you know, it has to be you know, 2229 02:06:04,160 --> 02:06:06,920 Speaker 8: a lawful order. It's not that you know, some some 2230 02:06:07,040 --> 02:06:08,920 Speaker 8: person tell you to do something and you say, waiting, mane, 2231 02:06:08,960 --> 02:06:11,840 Speaker 8: that's not right. You can challenge that. But there's a 2232 02:06:11,920 --> 02:06:15,520 Speaker 8: chain of command. I had so happy I bucked the 2233 02:06:15,560 --> 02:06:17,120 Speaker 8: chain of the chain of command. I went straight to 2234 02:06:17,240 --> 02:06:21,200 Speaker 8: the top because I know that along the way, along 2235 02:06:21,240 --> 02:06:22,560 Speaker 8: the way, it's not gonna by the time it gets 2236 02:06:22,600 --> 02:06:24,320 Speaker 8: to that person at the top, it's gonna be it's 2237 02:06:24,360 --> 02:06:26,840 Speaker 8: gonna be distorted.

But 2240 02:06:37,520 --> 02:06:41,400 Speaker 8: it's okay, you know, because the type of discharge that 2241 02:06:41,480 --> 02:06:46,120 Speaker 8: I got is still allowed me to pursue my education. Okay, 2242 02:06:46,440 --> 02:06:49,360 Speaker 8: you know, and and and and you know but but 2243 02:06:49,440 --> 02:06:51,080 Speaker 8: it was something that was going on on the base 2244 02:06:51,160 --> 02:06:53,680 Speaker 8: because we had a town hall, okay, and when people 2245 02:06:53,800 --> 02:06:56,280 Speaker 8: came from DC and we talked, and it's like, and 2246 02:06:56,360 --> 02:06:58,080 Speaker 8: I was one of these people that spoke up. I 2247 02:06:58,240 --> 02:07:01,120 Speaker 8: know I had a target on my back care because 2248 02:07:01,160 --> 02:07:05,960 Speaker 8: I was doing the right thing. You know, actually understand 2249 02:07:06,040 --> 02:07:08,720 Speaker 8: bro right, And it's like, you know, it's the same 2250 02:07:08,800 --> 02:07:11,040 Speaker 8: thing when you come to the police. Should we join 2251 02:07:11,080 --> 02:07:11,720 Speaker 8: the police force? 2252 02:07:15,320 --> 02:07:15,440 Speaker 6: Uh? 2253 02:07:17,920 --> 02:07:22,760 Speaker 7: Well, look, uh it's it's it is a job. But uh, 2254 02:07:23,640 --> 02:07:28,879 Speaker 7: you the police are a bit different from the regular 2255 02:07:29,040 --> 02:07:34,760 Speaker 7: military in that, you know, the action is right in 2256 02:07:34,840 --> 02:07:36,320 Speaker 7: your face every day. 2257 02:07:37,400 --> 02:07:37,520 Speaker 11: Uh. 2258 02:07:38,000 --> 02:07:44,040 Speaker 7: And the police force in this country was established to 2259 02:07:44,280 --> 02:07:48,919 Speaker 7: control black folk. It was not right established to control everybody, 2260 02:07:49,080 --> 02:07:52,080 Speaker 7: just black folks. The military is a lot broader. But 2261 02:07:52,800 --> 02:07:56,880 Speaker 7: the again, joining a police force is a job and 2262 02:07:57,080 --> 02:07:59,880 Speaker 7: can be a very good job. That's that's some decent 2263 02:08:00,040 --> 02:08:03,200 Speaker 7: black policeman. That's some decent white policeman. It depends on 2264 02:08:03,320 --> 02:08:07,920 Speaker 7: where you are, policeman. It depends on where you decide 2265 02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:15,320 Speaker 7: to join that particular military. But again, what is your 2266 02:08:15,520 --> 02:08:19,120 Speaker 7: aim once you join? Is it just to get paid? 2267 02:08:19,720 --> 02:08:22,320 Speaker 7: Is it just to have one a uniform? Is it 2268 02:08:22,480 --> 02:08:26,120 Speaker 7: to increase your respect in the community. What is your 2269 02:08:26,280 --> 02:08:32,040 Speaker 7: plan for joining either police force or regular military unit. 2270 02:08:32,360 --> 02:08:38,360 Speaker 7: If you want to have a good entree to money 2271 02:08:38,720 --> 02:08:43,760 Speaker 7: and to credit unions and to insurance after your service, 2272 02:08:44,360 --> 02:08:46,800 Speaker 7: joining the military maybe a good idea for you.

I had 2280 02:09:06,120 --> 02:09:08,720 Speaker 8: a plan because actually, you know, it was a plan 2281 02:09:08,840 --> 02:09:11,400 Speaker 8: that you know, I was looking out after after I 2282 02:09:11,480 --> 02:09:13,080 Speaker 8: got out. Well, I can go to school, you know, 2283 02:09:13,280 --> 02:09:16,480 Speaker 8: and get it there you go. But it like, and 2284 02:09:16,600 --> 02:09:19,320 Speaker 8: that's what I did, you know. So But but you know, 2285 02:09:19,880 --> 02:09:21,920 Speaker 8: I know sometimes you know, I know some people who 2286 02:09:22,280 --> 02:09:25,160 Speaker 8: you know, I understand that they had feelings about well, 2287 02:09:25,240 --> 02:09:27,360 Speaker 8: you know, we shouldn't go serve and get a place. 2288 02:09:27,440 --> 02:09:30,080 Speaker 8: That's that's you know, got their foot on our neck. 2289 02:09:30,240 --> 02:09:32,960 Speaker 8: But the thing is, it was it was I was 2290 02:09:33,000 --> 02:09:36,280 Speaker 8: doing it for me. I wasn't doing it for nobody else, right, all. 2291 02:09:36,240 --> 02:09:41,640 Speaker 1: Right, right, thanks Johnny. But doctor Horn is it. Well, 2292 02:09:41,680 --> 02:09:43,680 Speaker 1: look at the police upon for for example, is it 2293 02:09:44,520 --> 02:09:46,240 Speaker 1: Is it because some of the officer are more blue 2294 02:09:46,280 --> 02:09:47,960 Speaker 1: than black of some of the black officers? 2295 02:09:48,600 --> 02:09:49,280 Speaker 4: Is that the case? 2296 02:09:53,840 --> 02:09:57,920 Speaker 7: The thing about police, and I mean you know, we 2297 02:09:58,000 --> 02:10:02,920 Speaker 7: could have uh two or three or ten sessions just 2298 02:10:03,080 --> 02:10:06,040 Speaker 7: on the police, black folk and the police. But the 2299 02:10:06,120 --> 02:10:10,120 Speaker 7: police in the United States was established to help control 2300 02:10:10,200 --> 02:10:14,560 Speaker 7: black folk. I mean they that's even the written history. 2301 02:10:15,040 --> 02:10:18,840 Speaker 7: They were set up to control black folk, to keep 2302 02:10:18,920 --> 02:10:23,880 Speaker 7: us on a plantation of one sort or another. And 2303 02:10:24,480 --> 02:10:28,600 Speaker 7: the way the police have developed all over this country, 2304 02:10:29,800 --> 02:10:32,880 Speaker 7: they have focused on black people as criminals. Black people 2305 02:10:33,920 --> 02:10:38,600 Speaker 7: are going to resist our attempt to control them, so 2306 02:10:38,760 --> 02:10:40,720 Speaker 7: we got to be ready to punish them and put 2307 02:10:40,760 --> 02:10:47,240 Speaker 7: them in prison. Every police force in every jurisdiction in 2308 02:10:47,360 --> 02:10:53,320 Speaker 7: this country does not adhere totally to that. But every 2309 02:10:53,800 --> 02:10:57,960 Speaker 7: police force in this country it's part of that whole 2310 02:10:58,200 --> 02:11:02,160 Speaker 7: history that it was established to control black folks. So 2311 02:11:02,360 --> 02:11:05,440 Speaker 7: you join a police force in a decent place, you 2312 02:11:05,520 --> 02:11:11,640 Speaker 7: can maybe uh not get bowled over by that particular agenda, 2313 02:11:12,080 --> 02:11:15,680 Speaker 7: but you will be touched by that agenda because that's 2314 02:11:15,680 --> 02:11:16,280 Speaker 7: what police do. 2315 02:11:18,000 --> 02:11:20,200 Speaker 1: Got you ate away from the top of Dr Horn 2316 02:11:20,280 --> 02:11:23,360 Speaker 1: andres calling from LA's online to Grand Rising Andre with 2317 02:11:23,440 --> 02:11:24,000 Speaker 1: doctor Horn. 2318 02:11:24,640 --> 02:11:27,920 Speaker 8: Rising called Grand Rising, doctor Horn, I know we're running out, 2319 02:11:28,000 --> 02:11:31,720 Speaker 8: brother doing I'm doing well.

My 2322 02:11:39,840 --> 02:11:43,560 Speaker 8: first question is, uh, we know that the military uh 2323 02:11:43,840 --> 02:11:48,000 Speaker 8: has has has hesitations about occupying American cities. You know, 2324 02:11:48,120 --> 02:11:51,760 Speaker 8: that's uh against possi comatatis and all the rest. And 2325 02:11:52,080 --> 02:11:56,280 Speaker 8: they were full to do it. That is absolutely right. 2326 02:11:56,360 --> 02:11:59,280 Speaker 8: But Trump doesn't seem to care about any of that, unfortunately, 2327 02:11:59,680 --> 02:12:04,120 Speaker 8: And but and especially after the embarrassment with headstaff or 2328 02:12:04,160 --> 02:12:08,160 Speaker 8: whatever his name is rightly dealing with the military. Now, 2329 02:12:08,280 --> 02:12:11,240 Speaker 8: my question is with all of this glorying ones, since 2330 02:12:11,320 --> 02:12:12,600 Speaker 8: we appear to be acted. 2331 02:12:12,440 --> 02:12:16,200 Speaker 7: Like a third of like a unorganized owns a third 2332 02:12:16,240 --> 02:12:18,560 Speaker 7: world country. But no, no, no, you're right now, No, no, 2333 02:12:18,840 --> 02:12:22,800 Speaker 7: we we are acting like a third world country. The 2334 02:12:23,400 --> 02:12:26,880 Speaker 7: government in this country. Yeah, yeah, go ahead. 2335 02:12:27,000 --> 02:12:30,480 Speaker 8: So the question is, doctor Horn quickly one of two questions. 2336 02:12:30,600 --> 02:12:34,040 Speaker 8: Number one is uh, do you think the military at 2337 02:12:34,120 --> 02:12:36,520 Speaker 8: some point that this guy wants to be president for like, 2338 02:12:36,720 --> 02:12:39,480 Speaker 8: actually has to take come out and restore orders because 2339 02:12:39,520 --> 02:12:42,160 Speaker 8: he has the extreme court, he has the Senate, he 2340 02:12:42,280 --> 02:12:46,440 Speaker 8: has the House, and he has this delusional executive order 2341 02:12:46,800 --> 02:12:50,160 Speaker 8: agenda with Project twenty. Do you think that military may 2342 02:12:50,240 --> 02:12:52,920 Speaker 8: be in a position to just take over and re 2343 02:12:53,120 --> 02:12:56,840 Speaker 8: establish some sort of normalcy of democracy? Again, the second 2344 02:12:56,920 --> 02:12:59,360 Speaker 8: question is very quickly, you know, the time is short. 2345 02:13:00,240 --> 02:13:04,720 Speaker 8: Isn't blowing up civilions of people in isn't he subject 2346 02:13:04,800 --> 02:13:09,080 Speaker 8: to international U is not a war crime? International war 2347 02:13:09,200 --> 02:13:11,080 Speaker 8: crime that he should be held accountable? 2348 02:13:11,200 --> 02:13:11,920 Speaker 7: And the World Court. 2349 02:13:12,120 --> 02:13:14,920 Speaker 8: I mean, these are as far as we know, innocent 2350 02:13:15,200 --> 02:13:19,960 Speaker 8: fisherman from Venezuela in the Caribbean and attacking them. There 2351 02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:22,000 Speaker 8: are so many desk by Now, what do you say 2352 02:13:22,040 --> 02:13:27,240 Speaker 8: about those two questions? The US, Yes, sir, that's it. 2353 02:13:28,320 --> 02:13:32,720 Speaker 7: Okay, Let me let me take the second one first, 2354 02:13:33,080 --> 02:13:42,120 Speaker 7: Richard Harder, the United States, there's not fear the World Court, 2355 02:13:42,720 --> 02:13:48,880 Speaker 7: the United Nations, or any international entergy to to bring it, 2356 02:13:49,360 --> 02:13:52,040 Speaker 7: to bring it to court, or to bring it to 2357 02:13:52,880 --> 02:13:58,560 Speaker 7: any kind of punishment. Because the United States believes it 2358 02:13:58,800 --> 02:14:05,400 Speaker 7: has the greatest military in the world right now. They 2359 02:14:05,440 --> 02:14:09,960 Speaker 7: don't think any other international body can tell them what 2360 02:14:10,160 --> 02:14:14,840 Speaker 7: to do. Uh they Again, you we're dealing with a 2361 02:14:15,120 --> 02:14:19,800 Speaker 7: commander in chief who's basically ignorant. He has you know, 2362 02:14:19,920 --> 02:14:24,200 Speaker 7: he has not studied history at all. He barely graduated. 2363 02:14:24,480 --> 02:14:27,800 Speaker 7: It's alive when you start talking about he graduated from 2364 02:14:27,880 --> 02:14:32,920 Speaker 7: ward and he did not. Uh. The we we we 2365 02:14:33,400 --> 02:14:39,480 Speaker 7: we have a situation when you think you the baddest 2366 02:14:41,040 --> 02:14:45,640 Speaker 7: on the planet and then you don't fear anybody. Nobody 2367 02:14:45,720 --> 02:14:49,080 Speaker 7: can tell you, no, nobody can stop you if you've 2368 02:14:49,160 --> 02:14:53,360 Speaker 7: decided to go left or right. That's unfortunate that the 2369 02:14:53,520 --> 02:14:56,960 Speaker 7: United States is in that position. There is no other 2370 02:14:57,080 --> 02:15:03,160 Speaker 7: military on earth the United States fears, and there's no 2371 02:15:03,360 --> 02:15:07,080 Speaker 7: international body that they care about. The you know, the 2372 02:15:07,200 --> 02:15:10,960 Speaker 7: United States is not part of the international court. You know, 2373 02:15:11,120 --> 02:15:15,760 Speaker 7: so there's no there's no uh a jewelry verdict that 2374 02:15:15,880 --> 02:15:18,920 Speaker 7: can come out to punish the United States that we 2375 02:15:18,920 --> 02:15:24,960 Speaker 7: will pay any attention to it. You know, yeah, you know, yeah, 2376 02:15:25,360 --> 02:15:28,200 Speaker 7: the United States does not have to adhere to any 2377 02:15:28,280 --> 02:15:33,320 Speaker 7: international body. It does whatever it wants, and that's unfortunate. 2378 02:15:34,520 --> 02:15:37,640 Speaker 4: Uh could that be just a lack of respect though, 2379 02:15:38,280 --> 02:15:42,200 Speaker 4: doctor Horne, it's. 2380 02:15:42,080 --> 02:15:45,680 Speaker 7: Both a lack of respect and also at lack of 2381 02:15:46,400 --> 02:15:52,000 Speaker 7: being being part of the international entities that have any 2382 02:15:52,120 --> 02:15:56,160 Speaker 7: kind of cloud the in the United Nations, for example, 2383 02:15:56,600 --> 02:16:01,720 Speaker 7: a body which America the United States helped to set up. 2384 02:16:03,360 --> 02:16:05,640 Speaker 7: And you know you got you got you got uh 2385 02:16:06,000 --> 02:16:10,840 Speaker 7: uh well over two hundred and uh and and and 2386 02:16:11,000 --> 02:16:17,920 Speaker 7: fifty members of that body. The body cannot United Nations 2387 02:16:17,960 --> 02:16:20,160 Speaker 7: cannot tell the United States what to do. They cannot 2388 02:16:20,160 --> 02:16:23,960 Speaker 7: punish the United States. It cannot basically take anything from 2389 02:16:24,000 --> 02:16:29,040 Speaker 7: the United States. You can, you know, the the American 2390 02:16:29,200 --> 02:16:33,840 Speaker 7: dollar is the sovereign currency of the world. You cannot 2391 02:16:34,840 --> 02:16:37,280 Speaker 7: stop trading with the United States kind of thing. You 2392 02:16:37,320 --> 02:16:40,400 Speaker 7: cannot stop the United States from making money. And whatever 2393 02:16:40,520 --> 02:16:44,760 Speaker 7: you trade, whatever you do on your own right now, 2394 02:16:45,280 --> 02:16:48,840 Speaker 7: you should never have a bully who has no fear 2395 02:16:50,200 --> 02:16:53,520 Speaker 7: of anybody else that. 2396 02:16:54,080 --> 02:16:56,480 Speaker 1: You how you thought right there, I'll let you finish 2397 02:16:56,520 --> 02:16:58,760 Speaker 1: your thought back.

They were making an argument that they were 2439 02:19:21,520 --> 02:19:26,640 Speaker 7: being oppressed in South Africa, that the black majority was 2440 02:19:26,760 --> 02:19:33,560 Speaker 7: oppressing the white minority and taking their land and putting them, 2441 02:19:33,800 --> 02:19:38,039 Speaker 7: putting them in jail, that type of thing. And even 2442 02:19:38,120 --> 02:19:44,080 Speaker 7: though President the President President Ramaposa tried to explain uh 2443 02:19:44,320 --> 02:19:49,400 Speaker 7: to Trump and Hughes cabinet that that information was incorrect. 2444 02:19:50,520 --> 02:19:56,720 Speaker 7: There's no oppression of white folks in South Africa. You know, 2445 02:19:56,800 --> 02:19:58,840 Speaker 7: they're not trying to the black folks who are in 2446 02:19:58,920 --> 02:20:02,520 Speaker 7: charge of the government are not trying to seize the 2447 02:20:02,720 --> 02:20:06,760 Speaker 7: property of white people as they could because it's in 2448 02:20:06,800 --> 02:20:11,080 Speaker 7: the constitution. It says that the black government in South 2449 02:20:11,120 --> 02:20:14,120 Speaker 7: Africa can seize property from white people, but they have 2450 02:20:14,240 --> 02:20:18,840 Speaker 7: not done it anyway. Rama Posta tried to explain to 2451 02:20:18,879 --> 02:20:21,320 Speaker 7: Trump what you are seeing on the video is not 2452 02:20:21,480 --> 02:20:27,840 Speaker 7: correct information. That's not what's happening. Trump wouldn't listen. He 2453 02:20:27,840 --> 02:20:31,359 Speaker 7: wouldn't listen to the point that he has now designated 2454 02:20:33,320 --> 02:20:43,120 Speaker 7: African um entry into this country starting next year to 2455 02:20:43,240 --> 02:20:47,040 Speaker 7: be focused on white South Africans coming to the country 2456 02:20:47,080 --> 02:20:52,240 Speaker 7: and getting almost entertained your citizenship. He had made that 2457 02:20:52,480 --> 02:20:56,960 Speaker 7: order executive order that the white South Africans coming you 2458 02:20:57,000 --> 02:21:03,240 Speaker 7: should be designated refugees from discrimination and they should be 2459 02:21:03,360 --> 02:21:12,360 Speaker 7: given instant citizenship consideration. He's already made that decision foolishness 2460 02:21:12,800 --> 02:21:16,960 Speaker 7: based on incorrect information. You know, but Trump doesn't read 2461 02:21:17,040 --> 02:21:20,800 Speaker 7: a lot, and he does not get correct information even 2462 02:21:20,840 --> 02:21:28,080 Speaker 7: from the people around him in his cabinet. As the 2463 02:21:29,120 --> 02:21:34,320 Speaker 7: next head of the G twenty, and it may not occur. 2464 02:21:34,920 --> 02:21:38,480 Speaker 7: If Trump is pure president, the G twenty can vote 2465 02:21:39,000 --> 02:21:45,200 Speaker 7: to have another UH temporary president after around the Post's 2466 02:21:46,240 --> 02:21:49,080 Speaker 7: term is up. I don't think that. I don't think 2467 02:21:49,120 --> 02:21:53,160 Speaker 7: the G twenty people are going to vote for Trump 2468 02:21:53,280 --> 02:21:56,400 Speaker 7: to come and be the G twenty head even for 2469 02:21:56,480 --> 02:21:58,640 Speaker 7: a short time. I don't think they're going to do that. 2470 02:21:59,320 --> 02:22:00,760 Speaker 7: I think another vote. 2471 02:22:01,720 --> 02:22:04,200 Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on that as well. Also, some 2472 02:22:04,320 --> 02:22:06,760 Speaker 1: white South advacans since that came out, I said, they're 2473 02:22:06,760 --> 02:22:11,000 Speaker 1: not any distress in their country. They're not suffering, they're 2474 02:22:11,040 --> 02:22:13,480 Speaker 1: not being you know, the black people are not victimizing them. 2475 02:22:13,520 --> 02:22:16,600 Speaker 1: So they've rejected what what Trump and when. 2476 02:22:18,480 --> 02:22:22,120 Speaker 7: He won't listen to information, he only listens to what 2477 02:22:22,240 --> 02:22:25,800 Speaker 7: he feels, right, is telling him? 2478 02:22:25,959 --> 02:22:26,160 Speaker 4: Yeah? 2479 02:22:27,320 --> 02:22:30,840 Speaker 1: Exactly, Here's I got a tweet question for you, doctor Horne, 2480 02:22:30,879 --> 02:22:33,120 Speaker 1: and tweeter says, what what? What are black people's What 2481 02:22:33,280 --> 02:22:35,680 Speaker 1: is the black people plan? How are we going to 2482 02:22:35,760 --> 02:22:39,440 Speaker 1: survive without leadership? They can call and draft. Our sons 2483 02:22:39,480 --> 02:22:42,640 Speaker 1: and daughters are on the front line. Many of the 2484 02:22:42,680 --> 02:22:45,760 Speaker 1: government workers fired with black women. Why are why are 2485 02:22:45,879 --> 02:22:48,360 Speaker 1: we not organizing and trying to save ourselves? 2486 02:22:48,879 --> 02:22:49,000 Speaker 7: Uh? 2487 02:22:49,360 --> 02:22:51,600 Speaker 1: I guess it goes back to our original discussion about 2488 02:22:51,600 --> 02:22:55,600 Speaker 1: the plan. We need a plan and also pointing outbout leadership. 2489 02:22:56,040 --> 02:22:59,840 Speaker 1: Is there a vacuum leadership in the black community right now? 2490 02:23:00,800 --> 02:23:04,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, well there's no I wouldn't call it a vacuum leadership. 2491 02:23:05,000 --> 02:23:07,840 Speaker 7: There's a different kind of leadership you know, while we 2492 02:23:08,040 --> 02:23:12,000 Speaker 7: may have been we may have gotten used to singular 2493 02:23:12,080 --> 02:23:22,359 Speaker 7: people like a Jesse Jackson and Martin Luther King. You know. Anyway, 2494 02:23:22,920 --> 02:23:26,840 Speaker 7: while we may have gotten used to individual leaders like that, 2495 02:23:28,600 --> 02:23:35,120 Speaker 7: getting getting in the newspaper, doing conferences, you know, and 2496 02:23:35,640 --> 02:23:39,360 Speaker 7: doing the paperwork. We may have gotten used to that 2497 02:23:39,480 --> 02:23:45,000 Speaker 7: in the past. We need to have a rethinking. We 2498 02:23:45,080 --> 02:23:49,119 Speaker 7: need to have a sit down discussions with each other 2499 02:23:49,680 --> 02:23:52,240 Speaker 7: and decide on the leadership that we need for right now, 2500 02:23:52,560 --> 02:23:55,640 Speaker 7: not the leadership we've had, but the new leadership for 2501 02:23:55,840 --> 02:23:59,800 Speaker 7: the twenty first century. In every community where we have 2502 02:24:00,040 --> 02:24:02,800 Speaker 7: of right folks living, they need to take it upon 2503 02:24:02,879 --> 02:24:08,520 Speaker 7: themselves to have planning sessions with each other and lay 2504 02:24:08,640 --> 02:24:12,600 Speaker 7: out here's what we need to do to move into 2505 02:24:12,680 --> 02:24:14,720 Speaker 7: the future. Here's what we need to do for our 2506 02:24:14,840 --> 02:24:20,440 Speaker 7: children and for our own survival and our own success. 2507 02:24:22,560 --> 02:24:25,279 Speaker 7: We are the leaders leaders in the past or leaders 2508 02:24:25,320 --> 02:24:28,760 Speaker 7: in the past. We need leadership, twenty first century leadership 2509 02:24:28,840 --> 02:24:31,320 Speaker 7: right now. Every place where we live. 2510 02:24:31,440 --> 02:24:32,040 Speaker 9: We need to do that. 2511 02:24:34,360 --> 02:24:38,560 Speaker 1: And these leads, the next cadre of leaders that where 2512 02:24:38,560 --> 02:24:41,120 Speaker 1: are their ranks? Are these the leaders that we had, 2513 02:24:41,560 --> 02:24:44,520 Speaker 1: say in the sixties, seventies, even the nineties, were they 2514 02:24:44,680 --> 02:24:48,920 Speaker 1: cultivating where they're training other youngsters to pass the baton, 2515 02:24:48,920 --> 02:24:51,880 Speaker 1: because many of them, doctor Harnt, frankly, just don't want 2516 02:24:51,920 --> 02:24:54,000 Speaker 1: to give up the position. They're in, the pole position. 2517 02:24:54,080 --> 02:24:55,880 Speaker 1: They've been there for the longest and they don't want to, 2518 02:24:56,240 --> 02:24:58,360 Speaker 1: you know, turn it over to the young people. Younger people, 2519 02:24:58,720 --> 02:24:59,440 Speaker 1: how do you see that. 2520 02:25:00,400 --> 02:25:06,560 Speaker 7: Well, old leadership or elder leadership is still valuable. It 2521 02:25:06,680 --> 02:25:14,960 Speaker 7: can still provide advice and experience. But the elder leadership 2522 02:25:15,720 --> 02:25:19,119 Speaker 7: was good for what we were going through up through 2523 02:25:19,200 --> 02:25:27,600 Speaker 7: the nineteen nineties. For the twenty first century, African Americans 2524 02:25:27,640 --> 02:25:32,240 Speaker 7: are going through different problems. Maybe they are extensions of 2525 02:25:32,640 --> 02:25:34,879 Speaker 7: the old problems, but they are different. They look different, 2526 02:25:35,120 --> 02:25:41,160 Speaker 7: they act different. We need younger folk who are much 2527 02:25:41,280 --> 02:25:45,800 Speaker 7: more adapted, ai who were much more adapted the new 2528 02:25:45,920 --> 02:25:50,480 Speaker 7: social vocabulary. We need them to step forward because they 2529 02:25:50,520 --> 02:25:55,119 Speaker 7: can articulate what it is that's wrong and what we need, 2530 02:25:55,440 --> 02:26:00,680 Speaker 7: what we have to have to move forward. Are great 2531 02:26:00,959 --> 02:26:04,480 Speaker 7: for advice and for wisdom, and this is what worked before, 2532 02:26:05,920 --> 02:26:09,880 Speaker 7: but we need new leadership for this particular time. 2533 02:26:12,040 --> 02:26:14,640 Speaker 1: Gotcha in that minutes at the top there, Doctor Horne, 2534 02:26:14,959 --> 02:26:18,440 Speaker 1: Carl's calling us from northern Virginia is online.

But listen. 2543 02:26:35,600 --> 02:26:37,320 Speaker 8: Are you familiar with the. 2544 02:26:37,400 --> 02:26:41,920 Speaker 12: Black Leadership Family Plan for Unity, Survival and Progress of 2545 02:26:42,000 --> 02:26:46,400 Speaker 12: the Black People that was articulated and put into a 2546 02:26:46,680 --> 02:26:48,360 Speaker 12: document in nineteen eighty two. 2547 02:26:51,320 --> 02:26:53,279 Speaker 7: It was articulated by who. 2548 02:26:54,959 --> 02:26:58,840 Speaker 12: The Congressional Black Autics and other Black leaders that come 2549 02:26:58,920 --> 02:27:02,119 Speaker 12: together and they formulated a plant. They called it the Plan, 2550 02:27:02,360 --> 02:27:04,720 Speaker 12: and it was a twelve step plan that dealt with 2551 02:27:05,720 --> 02:27:12,879 Speaker 12: the twelve different areas of people activity that specific as 2552 02:27:12,920 --> 02:27:15,440 Speaker 12: far as what the Black church would do, what Black 2553 02:27:15,640 --> 02:27:16,720 Speaker 12: organizations could. 2554 02:27:16,560 --> 02:27:19,600 Speaker 7: Do, what our media should do. 2555 02:27:20,120 --> 02:27:23,360 Speaker 12: We talked about black politicians, It talked about it's folks 2556 02:27:23,400 --> 02:27:26,320 Speaker 12: specifically about what these people, all these different groups can 2557 02:27:26,360 --> 02:27:29,760 Speaker 12: do then even vote down our people activity that we 2558 02:27:29,879 --> 02:27:32,560 Speaker 12: could do each month. That's why it was in twelve 2559 02:27:33,200 --> 02:27:35,760 Speaker 12: It was in twelve sections and they had twelve months 2560 02:27:35,800 --> 02:27:38,840 Speaker 12: of different activity and they had different focuses like for 2561 02:27:39,360 --> 02:27:41,400 Speaker 12: for example, the month of November. We know it's a 2562 02:27:41,440 --> 02:27:44,360 Speaker 12: political month, so that was the month where people that's 2563 02:27:44,400 --> 02:27:47,240 Speaker 12: where the you know people would do their political action, 2564 02:27:47,600 --> 02:27:51,240 Speaker 12: but also where we would formulate a agenda to give 2565 02:27:51,360 --> 02:27:55,680 Speaker 12: to the candidate. So that we don't stay there ask 2566 02:27:55,959 --> 02:27:58,440 Speaker 12: what is the Democratic Party going to do for us? 2567 02:27:58,920 --> 02:28:02,680 Speaker 12: We tell them what we want, We give them our agenda. 2568 02:28:02,840 --> 02:28:05,760 Speaker 12: We don't let them to infect an agenda for us. 2569 02:28:06,600 --> 02:28:10,000 Speaker 12: And this wind was agreed to fund by it and 2570 02:28:10,120 --> 02:28:12,960 Speaker 12: like I said, the progression of black cout which they 2571 02:28:13,000 --> 02:28:15,720 Speaker 12: don't ever talk about this anymore, this was agreed to 2572 02:28:15,760 --> 02:28:18,320 Speaker 12: fund by the so called leagacy organizations. They don't talk 2573 02:28:18,320 --> 02:28:20,600 Speaker 12: about it anymore. Even though they said they were gonna 2574 02:28:20,600 --> 02:28:22,840 Speaker 12: follow it. This is not even it's not even to 2575 02:28:22,959 --> 02:28:25,160 Speaker 12: this day on the radio when you get all these 2576 02:28:25,200 --> 02:28:27,840 Speaker 12: people who are going at each other about their earning 2577 02:28:27,920 --> 02:28:30,039 Speaker 12: that and they said, we need a plan. We had 2578 02:28:30,120 --> 02:28:34,720 Speaker 12: a plane, okay, and our so called leadership has failed 2579 02:28:34,879 --> 02:28:38,360 Speaker 12: us in following the very plane they were supposed to 2580 02:28:38,440 --> 02:28:41,240 Speaker 12: put it they put out, but they just seemed to 2581 02:28:41,280 --> 02:28:43,600 Speaker 12: put it out and then they got put out. 2582 02:28:47,320 --> 02:28:49,920 Speaker 7: I know exactly what you mean. Yeah, I am aware 2583 02:28:49,959 --> 02:28:54,800 Speaker 7: of that plan. The what we need, what we need 2584 02:28:54,920 --> 02:28:59,960 Speaker 7: to do is to reintroduce this new generation to that plane. 2585 02:29:00,920 --> 02:29:08,080 Speaker 7: Uh it. It has not been widely disseminated, and the 2586 02:29:08,280 --> 02:29:14,240 Speaker 7: major issue with it is that it is a plan 2587 02:29:14,400 --> 02:29:19,560 Speaker 7: that focuses on participation in the electoral process, and which 2588 02:29:19,640 --> 02:29:21,760 Speaker 7: is great. I mean, we need to do that, but 2589 02:29:22,040 --> 02:29:25,080 Speaker 7: that's not all we you know. For example, let me 2590 02:29:25,480 --> 02:29:28,200 Speaker 7: let me give you a quick, a very quick example. 2591 02:29:29,400 --> 02:29:35,520 Speaker 7: In the whole our discussion about reparations, we have not 2592 02:29:36,200 --> 02:29:41,039 Speaker 7: focused on what doctor King taught us, taught us about 2593 02:29:41,160 --> 02:29:44,920 Speaker 7: back in nineteen fifty five and fifty six. When that 2594 02:29:45,080 --> 02:29:49,520 Speaker 7: is an economic entity that refuses to respect you, that 2595 02:29:49,760 --> 02:29:58,080 Speaker 7: refuses to acknowledge you are bringing money to them, boycott. 2596 02:29:59,520 --> 02:30:02,400 Speaker 7: If black folk in this country, or even in the 2597 02:30:02,440 --> 02:30:05,200 Speaker 7: city by city or state by state, if black folk 2598 02:30:05,240 --> 02:30:11,160 Speaker 7: in this country decided this Christmas or this New Year's 2599 02:30:12,640 --> 02:30:15,160 Speaker 7: or any other next year, if you want to do that, 2600 02:30:15,680 --> 02:30:18,400 Speaker 7: but if we decided we're not going to spend one penny, 2601 02:30:18,920 --> 02:30:21,280 Speaker 7: We're not going to go and buy a damn thing 2602 02:30:23,280 --> 02:30:28,120 Speaker 7: during that particular holiday season, we would be able to 2603 02:30:28,320 --> 02:30:33,560 Speaker 7: dictate whatever result we wanted. Black folk just kept their 2604 02:30:33,680 --> 02:30:38,520 Speaker 7: money to themselves, do not spend at any of these 2605 02:30:38,800 --> 02:30:44,119 Speaker 7: costcos and any other things. Economic boycotts worked when they 2606 02:30:44,200 --> 02:30:48,720 Speaker 7: are organized. Well, they worked in Alabama and they will 2607 02:30:48,760 --> 02:30:52,680 Speaker 7: still work in pasion this country. Now, that was not 2608 02:30:52,840 --> 02:30:55,800 Speaker 7: part of the Congression of Black Caucacer's plan. That needs 2609 02:30:55,840 --> 02:30:59,039 Speaker 7: to be added. But yeah, I am aware of the land. 2610 02:31:00,200 --> 02:31:03,000 Speaker 7: I am aware, and we need to look at it. 2611 02:31:04,320 --> 02:31:07,959 Speaker 12: Okay, let me just add this now.

Let me ask you a question. 2672 02:33:55,360 --> 02:33:59,840 Speaker 8: Why does the US government, when they are just grown 2673 02:34:00,160 --> 02:34:03,800 Speaker 8: with another country, why do they impose economic extensions on it? 2674 02:34:06,280 --> 02:34:14,359 Speaker 7: Because they can. Because when you think you are all powerful, 2675 02:34:15,560 --> 02:34:21,520 Speaker 7: you are the great and powerful ours. You can do 2676 02:34:21,640 --> 02:34:25,879 Speaker 7: whatever you want to other entities until somebody has kicked 2677 02:34:25,879 --> 02:34:29,720 Speaker 7: your behind, I trip you down, I push you over 2678 02:34:29,840 --> 02:34:33,800 Speaker 7: the cliff, and you know you can be hurt until 2679 02:34:33,959 --> 02:34:36,240 Speaker 7: they have put you back in your place. You think 2680 02:34:36,360 --> 02:34:41,520 Speaker 7: you can run run the game with everybody. United States 2681 02:34:42,280 --> 02:34:47,440 Speaker 7: does not think that it's any entity bigger or more 2682 02:34:47,640 --> 02:34:52,760 Speaker 7: powerful than it is. Therefore, when you have a leader 2683 02:34:53,520 --> 02:34:57,240 Speaker 7: like the one who's in charge now, who is only 2684 02:34:57,480 --> 02:35:02,160 Speaker 7: used to pushing his way through logically feeling out a 2685 02:35:02,240 --> 02:35:05,720 Speaker 7: way to do it. When you have that kind of leadership, 2686 02:35:06,280 --> 02:35:09,880 Speaker 7: that's what you're going to get. I told you what 2687 02:35:10,040 --> 02:35:14,600 Speaker 7: to do, and so you do it. No, no, no, 2688 02:35:14,720 --> 02:35:15,160 Speaker 7: that's okay. 2689 02:35:15,520 --> 02:35:17,760 Speaker 6: Why do we do it first? 2690 02:35:17,920 --> 02:35:20,560 Speaker 8: If we're the biggest and most powerful bully on the earth, 2691 02:35:20,600 --> 02:35:22,600 Speaker 8: why don't we just go and smack them upside the 2692 02:35:22,680 --> 02:35:23,280 Speaker 8: head first? 2693 02:35:26,520 --> 02:35:29,560 Speaker 7: They are that's what they're doing your venezuela right now, 2694 02:35:31,040 --> 02:35:31,680 Speaker 7: that's what they're. 2695 02:35:31,600 --> 02:35:32,480 Speaker 8: Doing to Uh. 2696 02:35:34,200 --> 02:35:39,800 Speaker 7: But no, no, and they're doing that against the United 2697 02:35:39,840 --> 02:35:42,760 Speaker 7: States law. They're doing it against the law that they 2698 02:35:42,879 --> 02:35:48,320 Speaker 7: themselves have imposed. It's pretty bad when you know, I 2699 02:35:48,480 --> 02:35:53,280 Speaker 7: tell my children what to do and what not to 2700 02:35:53,400 --> 02:35:57,000 Speaker 7: do because I'm in charge, and then they see me 2701 02:35:57,160 --> 02:36:00,320 Speaker 7: doing it, they see me doing what I tell them 2702 02:36:00,400 --> 02:36:04,920 Speaker 7: not to do. That's not good leadership. That's not good parentage. 2703 02:36:05,600 --> 02:36:09,480 Speaker 7: That's the kind of leadership this country is imposing on 2704 02:36:09,600 --> 02:36:13,480 Speaker 7: the rest of the world. The United States does not 2705 02:36:13,600 --> 02:36:19,240 Speaker 7: think any other country, any group of countries, can stand 2706 02:36:19,360 --> 02:36:24,640 Speaker 7: up against us. You know how that feels? Right? My 2707 02:36:24,720 --> 02:36:26,200 Speaker 7: last Quesson, My. 2708 02:36:26,280 --> 02:36:30,120 Speaker 8: Last question is that when did you realize that the 2709 02:36:30,720 --> 02:36:34,160 Speaker 8: might that the black community has. I'm talking about financial wealth. 2710 02:36:34,520 --> 02:36:37,440 Speaker 8: When did you realize that we had it? And what 2711 02:36:37,520 --> 02:36:39,760 Speaker 8: I'm gonna say is that when I was seventeen, that 2712 02:36:39,959 --> 02:36:44,280 Speaker 8: was over forty three years ago, I realized that every 2713 02:36:44,360 --> 02:36:47,920 Speaker 8: other country we always imposed economic sanctions. And I never 2714 02:36:48,040 --> 02:36:52,080 Speaker 8: heard any of our political leaders since Martin Luther King 2715 02:36:52,320 --> 02:36:56,800 Speaker 8: talk about Boycotten And I'm advocating Boycotton lotteries right here 2716 02:36:57,240 --> 02:37:00,440 Speaker 8: in Maryland, in Northern Virginia to set the trend. If 2717 02:37:00,480 --> 02:37:03,520 Speaker 8: we understand that's how the lottery was used and what 2718 02:37:03,640 --> 02:37:06,840 Speaker 8: it's used for now. If we can't get cohesion about 2719 02:37:06,920 --> 02:37:10,720 Speaker 8: boycotting stores, at least we can boycott the lotteries. That 2720 02:37:10,840 --> 02:37:14,800 Speaker 8: way in property taxes go up. Counties don't get the revenue, 2721 02:37:15,080 --> 02:37:18,440 Speaker 8: schools don't get the funding, streets don't get clean, lights 2722 02:37:18,520 --> 02:37:22,520 Speaker 8: don't get put up, streets don't get paid. We gotta 2723 02:37:22,640 --> 02:37:25,120 Speaker 8: hurt them with the only real power we have. The 2724 02:37:25,240 --> 02:37:29,480 Speaker 8: boat no longer works for us because we're only three 2725 02:37:29,600 --> 02:37:32,760 Speaker 8: hundred thousand, I think, I mean, I mean three million, 2726 02:37:33,120 --> 02:37:35,920 Speaker 8: thirty million, I'm sorry, thirty million. That's a that's a 2727 02:37:36,160 --> 02:37:38,199 Speaker 8: that's a drop of water into the bucket. 2728 02:37:38,760 --> 02:37:41,680 Speaker 7: So we don't have power you talking about you're talking 2729 02:37:41,680 --> 02:37:43,720 Speaker 7: about in Maryland, and you're talking about in the country, 2730 02:37:44,959 --> 02:37:47,560 Speaker 7: in the country.

Right, But in 2733 02:37:53,760 --> 02:37:56,520 Speaker 7: the scheme of all things, we're a drop in the bucket. 2734 02:37:57,840 --> 02:38:01,360 Speaker 8: Yeah, well you're right about that. No, no, no, I'm 2735 02:38:01,360 --> 02:38:04,400 Speaker 8: gonna be honest, right, I'm right. I don't mean to 2736 02:38:04,440 --> 02:38:08,199 Speaker 8: get it none enough, none other people.

The power you 2739 02:38:15,240 --> 02:38:18,520 Speaker 8: have is in the purse. Your power is economic power. 2740 02:38:18,640 --> 02:38:20,680 Speaker 8: If you don't believe it, I'm saying, dot go on. 2741 02:38:20,840 --> 02:38:22,840 Speaker 8: I know you know it, but I'm trying to get 2742 02:38:22,879 --> 02:38:24,840 Speaker 8: this point across, and I've been trying to get across 2743 02:38:24,879 --> 02:38:27,760 Speaker 8: for the last thirty years. If you don't get money 2744 02:38:27,879 --> 02:38:31,080 Speaker 8: and understand the power of money, that's why this country 2745 02:38:31,120 --> 02:38:36,040 Speaker 8: imposes economic sanctions. It cripples these other countries economically. We 2746 02:38:36,200 --> 02:38:39,160 Speaker 8: can try cypple this country and bring them to their 2747 02:38:39,320 --> 02:38:42,800 Speaker 8: needs if we understand it.

As twenty twenty three, 2755 02:39:10,800 --> 02:39:14,480 Speaker 1: they estimated the forty eight point three million people self 2756 02:39:14,560 --> 02:39:17,840 Speaker 1: identified as black, So we make up fourteen point four 2757 02:39:18,120 --> 02:39:20,800 Speaker 1: percent of the country's population. And this is an increase 2758 02:39:20,840 --> 02:39:23,560 Speaker 1: as well, a thirty three percent increase since two thousand 2759 02:39:24,200 --> 02:39:26,560 Speaker 1: and those are the people identify because you know, they've 2760 02:39:26,600 --> 02:39:28,480 Speaker 1: got some folks who don't identify as black. 2761 02:39:29,920 --> 02:39:36,199 Speaker 11: A bunch of selfterfuse black folk right right, don't understand 2762 02:39:36,240 --> 02:39:37,720 Speaker 11: they don't understand that they're right. 2763 02:39:38,400 --> 02:39:40,480 Speaker 1: One.

A military coupdy tar 2769 02:39:56,520 --> 02:39:59,039 Speaker 1: may be necessary to ultimately get Trump out of office. 2770 02:39:59,040 --> 02:40:01,280 Speaker 1: And the person says, the true just clear that we 2771 02:40:01,360 --> 02:40:03,800 Speaker 1: won't have to vote again. He said because Trump said 2772 02:40:03,800 --> 02:40:05,600 Speaker 1: that himself. So he was saying that this may be 2773 02:40:06,000 --> 02:40:08,160 Speaker 1: the last election we had. Was the last election. And 2774 02:40:08,200 --> 02:40:10,440 Speaker 1: it also points out the fact that the East Wing 2775 02:40:10,600 --> 02:40:14,040 Speaker 1: is now. You don't fabricate, make a building, or to 2776 02:40:14,120 --> 02:40:17,000 Speaker 1: do something those kind of uh moves unless you plan 2777 02:40:17,120 --> 02:40:19,000 Speaker 1: to stay for quite some time. If you've got to 2778 02:40:19,040 --> 02:40:21,040 Speaker 1: give it up in two years ago, we build it. 2779 02:40:21,320 --> 02:40:24,880 Speaker 1: So all of those questions, he's talking about something that 2780 02:40:24,959 --> 02:40:26,880 Speaker 1: we never had in this country. I don't think. But 2781 02:40:27,000 --> 02:40:29,240 Speaker 1: maybe correct me if I'm wrong, Doctor you. 2782 02:40:30,600 --> 02:40:33,600 Speaker 7: You occurred your career.

Some people 2791 02:41:08,840 --> 02:41:12,720 Speaker 7: try to take over the city, a county, state. The 2792 02:41:12,920 --> 02:41:16,480 Speaker 7: military may come in to do that to put that down. 2793 02:41:16,600 --> 02:41:20,360 Speaker 7: But they're not going to put the government down. That's 2794 02:41:20,360 --> 02:41:22,640 Speaker 7: not going to happen in this country. That's not the 2795 02:41:22,720 --> 02:41:25,680 Speaker 7: military had basically does not even have that in his 2796 02:41:25,879 --> 02:41:28,920 Speaker 7: DNA in this country.

They're not going to do it. 2798 02:41:31,480 --> 02:41:36,440 Speaker 7: The trumpet would have to be removed another way, and. 2799 02:41:37,959 --> 02:41:38,600 Speaker 5: The way. 2800 02:41:40,640 --> 02:41:49,000 Speaker 7: That is logically capable of doing that, it's called kill 2801 02:41:49,000 --> 02:41:53,360 Speaker 7: you behinds to the to the vote to the voting center. 2802 02:41:53,600 --> 02:41:59,760 Speaker 7: In twenty twenty six, put in a majority of Senators 2803 02:42:00,680 --> 02:42:05,480 Speaker 7: and House of Representative members and impeach his ass out 2804 02:42:05,520 --> 02:42:09,879 Speaker 7: of out of power.

The the particular method that 2865 02:45:49,400 --> 02:45:56,440 Speaker 7: the Trump administration is using to show leadership is already 2866 02:45:56,560 --> 02:46:00,920 Speaker 7: showing cracks and that it is going to collapse, mainly 2867 02:46:01,040 --> 02:46:04,360 Speaker 7: because the price of living in this country is going 2868 02:46:04,440 --> 02:46:06,960 Speaker 7: to go It's going to go up too high. The 2869 02:46:07,040 --> 02:46:09,160 Speaker 7: price of everything and everything is going to go up. 2870 02:46:09,800 --> 02:46:15,440 Speaker 7: So yeah, that's that's gonna happen. Anyway.

He I'm 2873 02:46:26,440 --> 02:46:30,920 Speaker 7: not able to say what he did and what he 2874 02:46:31,000 --> 02:46:34,000 Speaker 7: did not do, but he was a lot more involved 2875 02:46:34,080 --> 02:46:37,960 Speaker 7: than he wants people to to believe. And the data 2876 02:46:38,720 --> 02:46:46,080 Speaker 7: will upsure that. And the Maga folk love the qan 2877 02:46:46,160 --> 02:46:50,360 Speaker 7: Noon idea more than they love him at Margaret Head 2878 02:46:50,360 --> 02:46:53,360 Speaker 7: of Green Base and other people have already demonstrated they 2879 02:46:53,520 --> 02:46:58,160 Speaker 7: are going to force the epstream evidence to come out 2880 02:46:59,000 --> 02:47:02,560 Speaker 7: is not going to be pretty. That is going to 2881 02:47:02,680 --> 02:47:07,960 Speaker 7: affect the the belief in his leadership. 2882 02:47:09,800 --> 02:47:10,440 Speaker 4: Right there though, the. 2883 02:47:11,000 --> 02:47:14,080 Speaker 1: Doctor Horne, how do we know that those files haven't 2884 02:47:14,120 --> 02:47:17,640 Speaker 1: been sanitized yet? And when when they're released, there'll just 2885 02:47:17,720 --> 02:47:20,440 Speaker 1: be a bunch of Democrats the names that are on there, 2886 02:47:20,440 --> 02:47:23,120 Speaker 1: because we know both both parties are involved were involved 2887 02:47:23,120 --> 02:47:25,640 Speaker 1: with Epstein. How do we know that they're not being 2888 02:47:25,760 --> 02:47:27,760 Speaker 1: cleaned before they release the. 2889 02:47:28,240 --> 02:47:38,760 Speaker 7: The files that are being uh handled by the Justice Department. Yeah, 2890 02:47:38,879 --> 02:47:42,680 Speaker 7: they have tied to clean those files, but those are 2891 02:47:42,760 --> 02:47:46,280 Speaker 7: not the only files. You got all of that data 2892 02:47:46,440 --> 02:47:52,840 Speaker 7: that just became public knowledge from the Epstein estate itself. 2893 02:47:53,560 --> 02:48:00,880 Speaker 7: You got fifty You got fifty thousand emails. So just 2894 02:48:01,000 --> 02:48:04,400 Speaker 7: from the sting people, you know about what he was 2895 02:48:04,520 --> 02:48:08,000 Speaker 7: talking about, how much you talked about Trump. Remember, they 2896 02:48:08,080 --> 02:48:10,600 Speaker 7: just came out and said it. In the steam files 2897 02:48:10,680 --> 02:48:16,880 Speaker 7: that have already been identified almost eighteen thousand times they 2898 02:48:16,959 --> 02:48:23,240 Speaker 7: mentioned Trump. Information is there here. It is, even though 2899 02:48:23,320 --> 02:48:27,480 Speaker 7: there's this wild attempt to try to control the information 2900 02:48:28,000 --> 02:48:30,879 Speaker 7: to try to keep people from finding out. This finding 2901 02:48:30,920 --> 02:48:35,280 Speaker 7: out that that attempt is not working and it's not 2902 02:48:35,440 --> 02:48:36,000 Speaker 7: going to work. 2903 02:48:37,959 --> 02:48:41,920 Speaker 1: So there, because you're right, he is in the FC files. 2904 02:48:41,959 --> 02:48:44,560 Speaker 1: It's it's just about almost admitted that. But it's what 2905 02:48:44,680 --> 02:48:47,520 Speaker 1: he did. I think that's what the country is holding 2906 02:48:47,560 --> 02:48:48,480 Speaker 1: their collective breath. 2907 02:48:48,800 --> 02:48:49,640 Speaker 4: How deep was. 2908 02:48:51,879 --> 02:48:56,920 Speaker 7: Well? That where the evidence about that that the Justice 2909 02:48:57,000 --> 02:49:03,440 Speaker 7: Department now controls that may have been whited out? But 2910 02:49:03,640 --> 02:49:11,240 Speaker 7: again there is other alredactidents, right, well, yeah redacted.

It's 2944 02:51:00,560 --> 02:51:04,200 Speaker 10: about a power abuse of power. And it's not just 2945 02:51:04,280 --> 02:51:08,360 Speaker 10: about those who Epstein traffic.

Let's not just think of 2951 02:51:27,560 --> 02:51:29,880 Speaker 10: those people, think about all of the people who are 2952 02:51:29,879 --> 02:51:32,920 Speaker 10: being trafficked to this day and have been continually trafficked 2953 02:51:32,959 --> 02:51:37,000 Speaker 10: every since this human trafficking way that we still suffer 2954 02:51:37,080 --> 02:51:40,800 Speaker 10: from has been going on.

As far as reparations, 2989 02:53:37,160 --> 02:53:39,800 Speaker 11: think about all the inventions that we came up with 2990 02:53:40,760 --> 02:53:44,080 Speaker 11: air condition where are these black companies at where's all 2991 02:53:44,160 --> 02:53:46,720 Speaker 11: these things we caught in gin and many many more. 2992 02:53:47,120 --> 02:53:49,480 Speaker 11: We need to put them on top of the debt 2993 02:53:49,560 --> 02:53:52,600 Speaker 11: of because you just took them white folks with their 2994 02:53:53,480 --> 02:53:57,000 Speaker 11: patent method. But we as people, we got to stop 2995 02:53:57,080 --> 02:54:00,000 Speaker 11: being afraid to say, hey, I'm not going to say 2996 02:54:00,280 --> 02:54:03,280 Speaker 11: nothing because I might lose mind. That's the fear. We 2997 02:54:03,520 --> 02:54:06,960 Speaker 11: fear our own truth. We live in our fears, and 2998 02:54:07,040 --> 02:54:09,920 Speaker 11: we got to start that for our children, for our 2999 02:54:10,000 --> 02:54:13,320 Speaker 11: future tomorrow.

The entire world is the African descendant. 3005 02:54:41,360 --> 02:54:44,560 Speaker 7: Everybody came from Africa. They don't want to admit that that, 3006 02:54:44,840 --> 02:54:49,440 Speaker 7: but even they did. As strange as they are, they 3007 02:54:49,600 --> 02:54:55,360 Speaker 7: will continue doing whatever they can to stay on top, 3008 02:54:56,800 --> 02:55:01,680 Speaker 7: to be the master, to be in check charge. That 3009 02:55:01,959 --> 02:55:06,720 Speaker 7: is their logic being in charge. In order for us 3010 02:55:07,200 --> 02:55:11,000 Speaker 7: to be able to combat that logic, we have to 3011 02:55:11,200 --> 02:55:15,840 Speaker 7: utilize what the brother is saying, our own internal strength 3012 02:55:17,280 --> 02:55:21,840 Speaker 7: right now in this country. That strength is much more 3013 02:55:22,000 --> 02:55:28,040 Speaker 7: economic than it is political. We need to organize ourselves 3014 02:55:28,280 --> 02:55:34,840 Speaker 7: economically to get better answers that we have gotten. We 3015 02:55:35,120 --> 02:55:40,880 Speaker 7: must plan economically to take back what we need from 3016 02:55:40,959 --> 02:55:43,760 Speaker 7: the society that are not giving us what we have earned. 3017 02:55:48,080 --> 02:55:50,560 Speaker 1: About Yeah, let me jump me here for a second, 3018 02:55:50,640 --> 02:55:52,560 Speaker 1: a ten away from the top, because freedom, it is 3019 02:55:52,760 --> 02:55:53,480 Speaker 1: something interesting. 3020 02:55:53,560 --> 02:55:53,879 Speaker 4: It said. 3021 02:55:53,959 --> 02:55:57,000 Speaker 1: Fear is that the technique that this administration is You 3022 02:55:57,800 --> 02:56:00,680 Speaker 1: afraid to say anything, anything that might be personal.
