Speaker 1: Grand Rising, Kevin.

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 2: Hey, Corl Nelson, Grand Rising, Indeed, Happy Black History Month.

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: How are you feeling today?

14
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm still learning and I'm I'm just fascinating some of

15
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: the stuff that I learn each and every day.

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, that's right, because get this, somebody said, the

17
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: mind is like a knife, right, and if you stop

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: sharping and stop sharpening the knife, it gets dull. And then,

19
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: as Jane Brown said, a dul knife just can't cut it.

20
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: You're talking now.

21
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: And saying nothing. So you got to keep learning.

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: Man, there's you know a board mine ages faster. So

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: you found the fountain loop of youth rather, yeah, it

24
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: keeps you young.

25
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: About the kind was sort of where Rick Mathews was

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: talking about yesterday. You know, you're talking about exercise. He's

27
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: talking about physical exercise, but we also emotionally a mental

28
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: exercise you should do as well.

29
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 2: Well yeah, yeah, and in conclusion with that, you've got

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: to take the time to exercise or you're forced with

31
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: time for illness.

32
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's what he said. Yeah, man, well you all.

33
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: Have to continue to observe that. And today is the

34
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: fourth day of February, and hope all is well.

35
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: Isn't this the day that.

36
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: The lady on the bus, Harriet not the lady who

37
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: refused to sit on the bus? And pardon me, my

38
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: mind is Rosa Parks? This is this the day historically

39
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: that she she chose not.

40
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: To No, this is the end of the year. It

41
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: was close.

42
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: I thought it was February fourth is because.

43
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: No, it might be her birthday something like that.

44
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: Oh okay, all right, I got to get more accurate

45
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: with these thoughts. Thoughts come and they now they're beginning

46
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 2: to jail together.

47
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: But I'm continually thinking information overload, information overload.

48
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: I've got a great blank history story for you later

49
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: on today. But first, Trump is going to revive plans

50
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: for the statue garden featuring two hundred and fifty American heroes.

51
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 2: So the question is who's he gonna include. It was

52
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: outlined in the twenty twenty executive orders, so I guess

53
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: he's finally getting around to it, and he plans to

54
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 2: start with Christopher Columbus. Got any thoughts on that?

55
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: Yeah? Is he gonna put Marcus Garvey up there? That's

56
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: my question? Oh well, Christopher club was was was he

57
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: an Italian? Or you know, let's be real the wind up?

58
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: Put Marcus Covey off there and then he'll get my attention.

59
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: But anyway, go ahead, I mean I could go down

60
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: the list.

61
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: Kobe Bryant is on the list, if you know, if

62
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 2: we're talking about black Americans, George Washington, Carver, uh Ray Charles.

63
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 2: So he's including a few according to this list, Nat

64
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 2: King Cole and Davy Crockett. What okay, that's the guy

65
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: that fought at the Alamo too, Yeah, fought against the Spanish.

66
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: And Frederick Douglas. He's got him mentioned as well. So

67
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: there are a few there are a few, even Duke Ellington.

68
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: But when I hear that that that's that man, that

69
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: means it's gonna be probably thousands, because we, you know, proportionally,

70
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: we don't get a large slice of the pie. When

71
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: he comes to stuff like that, that means it's gonna

72
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: be a whole bunch of other folks too, be sprinkled in.

73
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: This is merely a list, so you know, you still

74
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: need what is it, sculptors to create these statues, and

75
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: so that's based on availability as well. And it sounds

76
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 2: like billions of dollars just to name a few of them, including.

77
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Kevin. Let me just interrupt. I think the

78
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: American people want him to just reduce prices. We don't

79
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: care about building, you know, additions to the White House

80
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: or building the the Triumph, you know, to that he

81
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: wants to build a toss building in the in the district.

82
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: People don't care about all that. Doing the rose card

83
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: just make my so I can eat, you know, somebody

84
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: better tell him that, but go ahead.

85
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they say that he's trying to make this

86
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: his Mount Rischmore. You see why, why that's what he's

87
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: trying to do. That's what he's trying that's his attempt

88
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: at that, Yeah, exactly.

89
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know, he tried to get a Mount Rushmo.

90
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: They told me it wouldn't stand because the way it's built,

91
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: they cannot add another face up there. So so I

92
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: guess that's what I He wants to make sure that

93
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: when he's gone. There's so many things about Trump to

94
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, the Kennedy Center, to try to get the

95
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: football stadium he wants to get in DC named after him.

96
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: He wants everything named after him. I understand he's going

97
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: into the real estate business as well. So I called

98
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: it the grifting.

99
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: And never mind Jay Winter Night Wolf. He has a

100
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: Sunday show here and and he said that that was

101
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 2: sacred land anyway that they built Mount Rushmore on. So

102
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: maybe they're trying to finally honor the treaty by not

103
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: adding any anymore heads to Mount Rushmore.

104
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: M He'll probably start his own That's probably what he

105
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: wants to do.

106
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 2: Hey, Look, so what I want to do is not

107
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: take up all of your time. I want to get

108
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 2: into the black history moment. And I wanted to ask you,

109
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: do you recall the youngest millionaire at the she was

110
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 2: called the youngest Black millionaire. She was called the youngest

111
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 2: black colored girl in the world. Her name her name

112
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: was Susan Rector. She was a twelve year old millionaire.

113
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: No did not know what's her story?

114
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: Well, well, it's a long story. I'm gonna give you

115
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 2: the reader's digest version, mind you. And she was born

116
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: March third, nineteen oh two, near the all black town

117
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: of Tafft in Indian Territory, which would later become part

118
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: of Oklahoma. Her parents, Rose and Joseph Rector were black

119
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: descendants of people enslaved by the Creek tribe. Under the

120
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: Treaty of eighteen sixty six, Sarah and her siblings were

121
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: entitled to land allotments as Creek freedmen. And so the

122
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 2: story goes, I'm just gonna kind of recite it from memory.

123
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: I read it yesterday, And so the story goes that

124
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: her family was impoverished, but they had land that they

125
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: inherited through that Indian tribe. And because of that, her

126
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: father Joseph tried to Joseph Rector was wanted to sell

127
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: the land, but no one would buy it because they

128
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: didn't want to buy lamb from getting colored people. And

129
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: so they continued to struggle a struggle, and then Rector

130
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: came up with the idea of the cell to Standard

131
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: Oil Company in nineteen eleven, and so two years later

132
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: the independent driller struck oil on the property. Now that

133
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: yielded twenty five hundred barrels per day, which was three

134
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: hundred dollars a day, but in today's money that's ten

135
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a day that they were making. So overnight,

136
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: Sarah became known as the richest young colored girl in America,

137
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: and she was receiving royalties exceeding eleven thousand dollars a day.

138
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: E call, are you doing the Matthew? Stay with me now?

139
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: So right right? So then under the laws at that time,

140
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: a white guard was appointed to manage her estate because

141
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: her parents had passed away, right, But this bothered W. E. B.

142
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: Du Bois and Booker T.

143
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: Washington, and they got involved, and Dubois established the Children's

144
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: Department of the NAACP, and Booker T. Washington helped her

145
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: attend Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, so because apparently she had

146
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: enough funds to do that. At the ripe young age

147
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: of fifteen years old, and shortly after gaining independence, Sarah

148
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: and her family moved to Kansas City, Missouri. She purchased

149
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: an impressive stone house. She was able to hang out

150
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: with notables like, oh man, I missed it. So she

151
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: used to hang out with celebrities. She held all kinds

152
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 2: of great parties, and.

153
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: She that happens when you have that kind of money.

154
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: The celebrities had come of the day, probably the boys

155
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: and all of those guys, and you know they are

156
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: Jesse Jackson's of the day.

157
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: Right on all of your invites, that they are SVP

158
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 2: right away. And so then because of the Great Depression

159
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: in the twenties, her wealth was diminished quite a bit,

160
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 2: but she did still live comfortably and she was buried

161
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: in black Jack Cemetery in Taft.

162
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: But she do that money passed down. Kevin was the

163
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: generation wealth of relatives of today. If she has any

164
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: do they are they still in the money.

165
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: Well, well, there's nothing here in my research about the descendants.

166
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: But the Rector Mansion still stands today as a reminder

167
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: of her remarkable journey. And there was a movie done

168
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: called Sarah's Oil chronicling her journey. And so that is

169
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: the way it is. Carl on the fourth of February

170
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: and happy Black History Month here, I guess the standing by.

171
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: All right, thank you. That's a great story. I hope

172
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: she did have some generational wealth. That's what we need

173
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: to build to our topic. We got more, We got more.

174
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: It's a whole month and I plan to just reveal

175
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: all of these unknowns.

176
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 3: Man.

00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: It's a good Yeah, that's why I said, I'm still learning.

185

Speaker 1: of my friends and acquaintances that have checked out, they've

186
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: rolled out, you know. So I guess it's it's when

187
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: you reach a certain age of stuff like this happens.

188

Speaker 1: But yeah, so we're still here, so we still got

189
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: a purpose.

00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 3: And the thing is he's actually, you know, not just

241
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 3: talking and talk. He's out there actually mentoring other young people,

242
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 3: teaching them how to go into business. He wrote several

243
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 3: books about it as well, and a few locations around

244
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 3: Baltimore that actually you know that he has his water system.

245
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 3: I mean, his water is all over the place, and

246
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 3: so we are here to help him to expand his territory.

247
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,040

00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: youngest Black millionaire, the sister who inherited her money from oil,

249
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: and you know, and apparently shouldn't have generational wealth. But

250
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: when you start this early, he's got to have somebody

251
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: behind him who's influencing. Is it is his dad or

252
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: is his mom or.

253
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 3: Yes, you know it. We're very close with film. But

254
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 3: you know, I talked to his father as well, and

255
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 3: and and the thing about them too, he listened to

256
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 3: his son and and he's given him a lot. He

257
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 3: just made sure that you know, everything is straight and

258
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 3: everything like that. But they had such a great relationship

259
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 3: and they honor each other. That's what I love about

260
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 3: them to the most. He honors his father, and his

261
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,280

311
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 3: and they would grow up to be powerful young men

312
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 3: and women.

313
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's we do have to protect them because but

314
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: there's so many other youngsters that we see. David. You

315
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: go on any corner in any city, major city in

316
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 1: America and you'll see how young brothers, you know, just

317
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: just send around, you know, just doing nothing because they

318
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: don't know what to do, have no skills, have no

319
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: thoughts and thinking about tomorrow. And here you have a youngster,

320
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: a teenager, written books, already, has created got his own business. Wow,

321
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: that's that's an inspirational story. And then using what he did,

322
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: he knows he can become a motivational speaker to encourage

323
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: other young people to do the same thing. I think

324
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: that's outstanding. That's truanding young man right there.

325
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 3: Yes, and I totally agree. And and so that's that's

326
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 3: one of our mission with the National Black Army Team

327
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 3: needs is to find our young people, uh to bring

328
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 3: exposure to them, mentorship to him, and most importantly listen

329
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 3: to him. You know, they have so much to say,

330
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 3: you know, but like I said, a lot of our children,

331
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: because we don't pour nothing into them, we won't get

332
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 3: too much out of them. And so that's why I

333
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 3: say again, it's so important. And you know, you know,

334
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 3: if you like I say, I'm a senior citizen, old dad,

335
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 3: they call it. But you know, we have grandchildren, nieces,

336
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 3: nephews and neighbors. You know, it takes a village, and

337
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 3: we have so many powerful elders out there that can

338
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 3: pour into these young folks. Sometimes that's all it takes,

339
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 3: just a kind word, just to sit a young person down,

340
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 3: talk to him, reason with them, guide them. And I

341
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 3: guarantee you because they're hungry, they're looking for so much

342
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 3: and they you know, and unfortunately a lot of these

343
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 3: children are left to themselves in the system, the streets

344
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 3: takes all of them, but that we don't.

345
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: Streaks will, that's for sure, and the streets have taken

346
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: on many of our young people. That so, yeah, I'd

347
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: love to talk to that young man because you know,

348
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: we need because a lot of times people are like him.

349
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: They don't get they don't get the exposure they should.

350
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: All the people are the youngsters who are doing something

351
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: that they shouldn't be doing. They're the ones that makes

352
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: the news. They are the ones that the people talk about,

353
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: and some of the people look up to them because

354
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: they think it's cool what they're doing. What this young

355
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: man do, young man is doing, this is really really cool,

356
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: you know because just thinking back of what you were doing,

357
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: you were thirteen and fourteen, and I mentioned that David

358
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: Mumps coming up next, and it's ironically this is that's

359
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: the topic that he's going to talk about. We weren't

360
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: even thinking about having a business, having a business writing books.

361
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: That's what a lot of folks did that not you know,

362
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: the young black man growing up. You know, that's that's

363
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: that's out of your dreams. That's it's inconceivable. You know,

364
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: we've got adults who can and even the you know,

365
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: aspired to do that right now. So I'm glad that

366
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: he's joined your team with the Black Unity newspaper because

367
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll able to, you know, be able to

368
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: contribute a lot to the newspaper and especially for our

369
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: young people.

370
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 3: Oh yes, yes he does, you know, on that same subject.

371
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 3: You know, you know, going back to my day when

372
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 3: I was thirteen, fourteen years old, See this is you know,

373
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 3: you know, you just say certain things about a system

374
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 3: that's in place. But unfortunately, and I don't know because

375
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,719
Speaker 3: I can't look through the eyes of the young people today,

376
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 3: but they don't look too good from where I sit.

377
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 3: But when I was coming there wasn't too good then either,

378
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 3: you know, because when I was eleven, twelve, thirteen, that

379
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 3: was around sixty two sixty three. The country was in

380
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 3: the uproar. The Black Power movement was going forth. They

381
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 3: had all types of college campuship, the Vietnam War was

382
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 3: going on, and all of this stuff. Everybody was hating

383
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 3: on everybody. Black people was in such a state of

384
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 3: you know, segregation and discrimination and all of these kinds

385
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 3: of things. And I was one of the young men

386
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 3: took the blood of that. I went to a predominant

387
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 3: white moved to a predominant white community that I moved

388
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 3: on and went to a predominant white school, and man,

389
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 3: it was not good for me. So I ended up

390
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 3: going the other way because I ended up becoming a

391
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 3: teenager alcoholic, to be quite frank with you, because of

392
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 3: those conditions, because I thought something's wrong with me. And

393
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 3: I'm quite sure if I thought that, well, I can't

394
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 3: even imagine what these young people are thinking today. Where

395
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 3: are our elders, where are our people who's standing up

396
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,719
Speaker 3: for us? Why they allowed me to be out on

397
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 3: this corner. Nobody's saying nothing, nobody's doing nothing. So I

398
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 3: can't make to say. I can't even imagine. But I

399
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 3: do know that I have made a difference. I will

400
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 3: continue to make a difference because because I do recall

401
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 3: from whence I come from, I haven't forgotten. And that's

402
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: why I continue to reach out to as many young people.

403
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 3: I don't care what situation they're in, the in the

404
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 3: penal institutions, on the corners, you know, in the church,

405
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 3: wherever they are, you know, I'm always willing to, you know,

406
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 3: just just to talk to them, to find out where

407
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 3: they're at, how I can assist them. And I for

408
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 3: enough of us to do that, you know it will

409
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 3: make a difference.

410
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, hold up, all righty there David at twenty seven

441
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,479
Speaker 3: Wow, thank you brother Bill. And you know, fairs changes

442
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 3: no robbery as they say, uh and and and hearing

443
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 3: this from Bill, because Bill is a true soldier. I

444
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 3: met Bill when I first came on the scene. I

445
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 3: heard of him before I either met him, and he's

446
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 3: been out there on the front lines, not here and

447
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 3: only here in Baltimore, but in Saint Louis as well.

448
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 3: Bill one of those people he'll go whip over without you.

449
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 3: Bill stand up for righteousness, say he don't seek money, recognition,

450
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 3: he's just a true soldier who is committed and and

451
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 3: so that's why he and I kind of you know,

452
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 3: birds of a feather as they say, and we make

453
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 3: a powerful team because we are both like I said, uh,

454
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 3: family members of the black men, unifying black men, and

455
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 3: we have done so much and we will continue to

456
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 3: do something. But you know again, uh, it's people like you,

457
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 3: call Bill, so many of us out there and and

458
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 3: Call said something earlier in medium. That's why I love

459
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 3: this show. We don't get opportunity to see us in

460
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 3: the spotlight, in the highlights in the medium, and when

461
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 3: they do show us in the media says a very

462
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 3: negative way. And so that's why it's so important to

515
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: And the tweeter is talking about a young man who's

518
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: And he's also a motivational speaker. He's encouraging young youngsters

519
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: to be like him. You know, we just think about

520
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: it and this again, I keep mentioning it. How the

521
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: ancestors are working with us this morning, because that's what

522
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: our next guest, that doctor David Miller. His project is

523
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: what would you tell you your fourteen or fifteen year

524
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: old self? That's a challenge she what would you tell yourself?

525
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: Do you remember what you were thinking about thirteen fourteen?

526
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: Were you thinking about running a business, writing books, being

527
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: a motivational speaker? You know, most of I don't know

528
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: if the boys it's all sports or thirteen fourteen then

529
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 1: bubt so are you're thinking about girls for brothers? That's

530
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: that's what the conversations we were having. It's either sports,

531
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: cars or girls. There were always three camps, and you

532
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: always fell into one of those camps. None of us

533
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: were talking about writing books or owning a company. That

534
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: was that was that was just the way out of there.

535
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: We didn't, you know, we didn't. We didn't know anybody

536
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: who owned who wrote books. We didn't know anybody who

537
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: owned companies. So that was something that we we couldn't

538
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: think that we could achieve. So kudo us to this

539
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,000

Speaker 6: to me. So thank you.

564
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 3: And brother Hike, I just want to say this in

565
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 3: kudos to you as well. I've known high Key since

566
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 3: he was a young man. He's still a young man,

567
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 3: but you know I remember from being a vendor to

568
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 3: traveling the world and he's one of the general that

569
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 3: instrumental and help taking this paper around the world all

570
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 3: over the United States. He his brother's like, this is

571
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 3: what unity is all about. Like brother Bill Hawki is

572
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 3: so many others. You know, we all rolled up. Ossibly

573
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 3: we have a comedy cause. And I'm just going to

574
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 3: say this. You know, the National Black Unity Music is

575
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 3: not a David Murphy. I like to tell people come

576
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 3: from divine inspiration, God himself and the thing it's about us,

577
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 3: not about me. It's about uplifting black melanated people with

578
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 3: solution oriented and from me and so and this is

579
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 3: what you call a true collective because this is paper

580
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 3: is so unique because everybody like Bill high Ki and

581
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 3: everybody else. Not only do they put their information in there,

582
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 3: but they helped pay for the publication. They put everybody

583
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 3: pull their resources together, definitely, and call I heard you

584
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 3: say by advertising. But the way the National Black Unity

585
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,239
Speaker 3: is supported is by us. Everybody in they take care

586
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 3: of their own page. And that's how we was able

587
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 3: to sustain ourselves. And that's why, and that's one of

588
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 3: the reasons why we, you know, do not have to

589
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 3: depend on anybody else but ourselves. And plus of course God.

590
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 3: And so it's again brother Haik, thank you so much

591
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 3: because like I said, this brother has taken this paper

Speaker 6: No.

671
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 1: Thirteen away from the top. No, no, thank you David

672
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: for what you do. Because you know, the stories that

673
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 1: we hear. The other folks control most of the media,

674
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: as you know, so the stories we hear about our

675
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: young people, we all think that they're all, you know,

676
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: head heading to jail or something. You know, that's the

677
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: story that's being told. That's what they want us to believe.

678
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: They don't want us to believe that we've got young

679
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: men as brilliant as this young man right now, Carnor.

680
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,959
Speaker 1: It's starting out heads and shoulders above many many, even

681
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: many adults. Because I didn't know what I wanted to

682
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: do at eighteen nineteen twenty, and they were growing up

683
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: and they had either you know, go to college or

684
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: go to Vietnam. So that was an easy choice. But

685
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: this because you know, and I understand when people in

686
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 1: their teenage years or even the early twenties haven't figured

687
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: out what their purpose is in life. But this young

688
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: man at thirteen and fourteen has figured out. This is

689
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: my slice of the poet. This is what I'm gonna do.

690
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: And not only just being a writer, two books under

691
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: his belt, already working with you, writing in the newspaper,

692
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: a motivational speaker, and has a company. He's running a company. Family.

693
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: We've got to support this young man. We've got to

694
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: support it.

695
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 3: I just had one more thing. She was another young man.

696
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 3: He's aged twenty six. He's a producer, movie producer. And

697
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 3: this you know man, and look, I've seen over the years,

698
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 3: I've seen many people that has come my way, you know,

699
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 3: had these film production companies, and I've seen being worth

700
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 3: and some of its very good. But this yeng man

701
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 3: at the age of twenty said, I think he put

702
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 3: out the best worker I have ever seen for a

703
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 3: young black man. And his name is Darius Anderson. They

704
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 3: call a smooth X and he's in the publication as well.

705
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 3: And uh and if anybody want to know about this

706
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 3: young man, because you know, just call me up because

707
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 3: he will actually send you some of his work and

708
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 3: it is so amazing. But then again, because he's in

709
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 3: this type of industry and he's very articulate as well,

710
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 3: and he did not he know he was approached by

711
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 3: Hollywood and everything to sell his soul, so to speak,

712
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 3: to do adair Way, and he refused and and and

713
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 3: now he's suffering because you know, he could have you know,

714
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 3: he could have sold his soul. But he wants to say,

715
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 3: stay true to himself, stay true to the cause. And

716
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 3: I'm on board with this young man because, like I say,

717
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 3: his work is excellent, his attitude is great, he's very articulate,

718
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 3: and he's extremely talented. And say, this is the kind

719
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 3: of stuff. Like you say, media do not show people

720
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 3: like this. I mean, damn, media don't. But it's up

721
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 3: to us to highlight, to put a spotlight on our

722
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 3: young people because that can say and this is one

723
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 3: of the reasons why they do it this way, because

724
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 3: they don't want people to see, you know, because just

725
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 3: like this young man, Carter is sparing other people. And

726
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 3: so you know, can you imagine a massive amount of people,

727
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,439
Speaker 3: young people in sparing other young people to do better

728
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 3: for themselves? What a different cause? You know where I say,

729
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 3: this is Black History Month. You got my brother David

730
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 3: Miller coming on. See, these are people that's been on

731
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 3: the front lines and they know what they know. But

732
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 3: at the same time, we know, no matter what we

733
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 3: have been through, the disparities and everything else, it's fate

734
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 3: of all this stuff how we come out, and we

735
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 3: still come above out, you know, the climate that we're in.

736
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 3: But like I said, with this young man, because this

737
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 3: young man had his father and his life who poured

738
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 3: into this young man and the young man received it.

739
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 3: And so can you imagine, like I said, all of

740
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 3: these young men running around here with no leadership, nobody

741
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,479
Speaker 3: guiding them, you know, a single family, homes and stuff.

742
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 3: That's why it's up to us black men, black women.

743
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 3: It takes the village to reach out to our young

744
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 3: people because they are they are diamonds their uniqueness.

745
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: And we can break that cycle, you know, yeah, David,

746
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: And we can break that cycle that you just mentioned,

747
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: because you know we we have, as you mentioned, we

748
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: have some brilliant brothers and sisters in our community at

749
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: all levels, at all levels, but they get skipped over

750
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: with nobody does it. So it's us in the media.

751
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: We have to highlight them and let our people know

752
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: we're not the caricature that you see in the mainstream

753
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: meter they try to portray of us. You know, we're

754
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: not all hoods and gangsters and hoes and all that

755
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. That's that's what they try to say

756
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: that we are. We are not that, unfortunately, David, you know,

757
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: people who come here from all over the planet, that's

758
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: what that's what they think about us. They never hear

759
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: about it. A young brother like Carter or this young

760
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: filmmaker that you're telling us about. And and for him,

761
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: the filmmaker brother, it's it's it's crucial that we get

762
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: behind him because he's got the technique that can show

763
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: us in a right light as the other folks want

764
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: to show us all the negativity. He's We're counted on him.

765
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: You know, there's only so many Spike Lee's out there.

766
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: There's only who's gonna do movies for us, you know,

767
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: you know the many if you know, the story haves

768
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 1: Spike for it to get the Malcolm X movie in,

769
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: whether we think about it, at least it was created

770
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: by black hens, you know, because you never know, telling,

771
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 1: no telling what he would do if somebody else had

772
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: done that Malcolm X movie, how would come out? But

773
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying as to say all of that, we have

774
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: to support these young people who have this talent, who

775
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: show the talent, have the initiative and a moving forward.

776
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: So tell us a bit more about the young man

777
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: who's the movie maker, who's twenty six.

780
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 3: articulate and very concerned about his people, our people, but

781
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 3: he's kind of you know, discouraged because he's not getting

782
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 3: the support that he has hoped to find. And you know,

783
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,800

00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 3: not only tell our stories, but to have somebody who

817
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 3: can document it now, I mean and and so that.

818
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,400

Speaker 1: Please do so, and David, let me highlight you and

825
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,919
Speaker 1: stix away from the town there for finding these young

826
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: people that are doing things, you know, because you could,

827
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: you could put the paper with the folks are do

828
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: all the yump, we're doing all the negative stuff that

829
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,240
Speaker 1: mainstream media likes to talk about. They like to highlight

830
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: that as if to say we're all like that. That's

831
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: what they do when they see someone us doing something inappropriately,

832
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,879
Speaker 1: they highlight it as saying, this is how we are,

833
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: this is who they are as a people. They don't

834
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: give the Carters or this young man jaris, They don't

835
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: give them space, they don't interview them, put them on

836
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: the other because they don't want the people to know

837
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,720
Speaker 1: that we have these brilliant young people, brilliant young minds

838
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: in our community, because they've got us typecast one way

839
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: and they want the whole world to see that. So

840
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: it's up to us who have platforms like this is

841
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: what I'm doing, what you're doing to showcase these young

842
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: people that at least our people people listen to us

843
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: and read your newspaper, know that that's not what they

844
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: see in the mainstream media. Is not the full story.

845
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: It's not who we are as a people. In totality,

846
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: we do have some brilliant, brilliant, brilliant young minds who

847
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: are coming up.

848
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,919
Speaker 3: Yes, I totally agree with you. And you know, if

849
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 3: we don't know by now, they gonna do what they

850
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 3: do what they do. But it's up to us to

851
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 3: start doing what we need to do for ourselves. And

852
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 3: as we know, they didn't have not come to do

853
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 3: anything for us yet. So it's up to us to

00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 3: do what we need. And we have the resources, we

897
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: two young men who are doing extraordinary things. And you

898
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: know what, David, they shouldn't be extraordinary. This should be

899
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: the norm for us, and in some quarters of our

900
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: society it is. But they just do not get the exposure.

901
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: And you just heard the piece that our owner Ms.

902
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: Caffy Hughes said about black media, because there's all kinds

903
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: of black media that's out there. There's all the kinds

904
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: of black newspapers, and they just do their job in

905
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: a perfunctory way, just reporting the news where they they

906
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: don't celebrate our people. They don't understand that what their

907
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: presence is. Once you're behind the mic or you behind

908
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: that that computer to put out information about our people.

909
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: They don't understand their role. You know, they're still doing

910
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: it as a chocolate White chocolates. If you will, if

911
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,240
Speaker 1: you understand what I'm saying, you get what I'm saying.

912
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: They don't understand that what their role is to champion

913
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: our people. They don't get it yet. You know, I

914
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: know because they we go to journalism school. This is

915
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: what they teach us who how to do. So we've

916
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 1: got to play by the rules. You know. It's just

917
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: like a black doctor or black accountant. They don't do

918
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: it on the black side. They don't say, this is

919
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: my people. This is what I got to do for

920
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: my folks, this is me, this is these are me,

921
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: These are my people. This is what I gotta do.

922
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: I gotta do something different, little extra for them because

923
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: these are my folks. It ain't you know, I'm not

924
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 1: gonna you know, regurgerate what I learned in med school,

925
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: what I learned an accounting class where I learning jeral

926
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: him school because he worked for the white folks. Those

927
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: those institutions weren't built for us. So those of you

928
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: have all these great degrees and all that, try to

929
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: figure out how you can use it to help our people.

930
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: Let me get off my soapbox. I just you know,

931
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of inspired by what miss Hughes just said

932
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: about us as the media, what we our role as

933
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: the media in your thoughts, David, Well.

934
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you this, you need to steal on

935
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 3: that soap bos because it needs to be heard. There

936
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 3: is a conversation we need to have. And if it not,

937
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 3: like I said, if it's not us, then who if

938
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 3: not now didn't win. It's up to us to save

939
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 3: us and so and again, you know, you know, but

940
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 3: one good things happened because of the crimate that we're

941
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 3: in in this political climate. Then there's a lot of

942
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 3: people finally realizing that they are black and other Native

943
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 3: people and that they know that they don't matter to

944
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 3: certain groups of people. And it's all right. Forgiveness is

945
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 3: a powerful thing, and you know, we need to just

946
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 3: come back home, you know, like you say, turn our minds,

947
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 3: you know, undue to colonized mindset and come back home

948
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 3: and take care of our own because again, if it

949
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 3: had not been for people like the Cathes and our grandparents,

950
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 3: the Marcus Guards and stuff like that, you would not

951
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 3: have had that opportunity and so you know, instead of

952
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 3: paying folk, you need to pay something forward. Look reached

953
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,919
Speaker 3: back into our young people, invested them, Take some time,

954
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 3: talk to them. It's worth it. I mean, you know

955
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 3: something you can't even put a price on. It's a

956
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 3: conversation sometimes to make a world of a it's to

957
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 3: a young persons to show that your pay It makes

958
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 3: a world of difference.

959
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, because we got the other folks for them.

960
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: Race versus is you know, instinctive for them. Then they

961
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: think of they're freeble first, protecting their people, hiring them,

962
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,439
Speaker 1: giving them the benefit of the doubt. We talked about

963
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 1: the young man who shot up the church in Charleston.

964
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 1: You know they didn't seem as a murderer. Uh you know,

965
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: they weren't got to a Hamburger. It was one of

966
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: our people. He'd beyond of the jail right away. That's

967
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: how they think, and that's how we have to think.

968
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: We have to be more like Garvey Race first, you know.

969
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: But some folks that it's that that bothers them because

970
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 1: that self hate is there. They can't it's hard for

971
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: them to love another black person because we ben programmed

972
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,720
Speaker 1: to hate each other. So much so. It's it's sometimes

973
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: the roughest person that you get when you have in

974
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: these conversations. It's a person who looks like you because

975
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: they've been so so brainwashed all the way to the right.

976
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 1: They love they love the other person more than they

977
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: love themselves. And those are for the black nigers as

978
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,359
Speaker 1: well out there because they love that man, but they

979
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: don't they can't love a black woman who is running

980
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: in the race. I just let me you get me

981
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,280
Speaker 1: back on my sapbox, let me get off here. But David,

982
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: let me talk about you, because you haven't an event

983
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: this weekend.

984
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, again, we're hosting our breakfast. I think this

985

00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 3: the breakfast and what we do we invite black men

987

Speaker 3: and boys to a better There's no charge we do

988
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 3: except donations. We provide the breakfast, and what we do

989
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 3: we just have conversations. We introduce ourselves to each other.

990
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 3: We uplift those who have businesses and service. We recognize

991
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 3: one another and a lot of great things that have

992
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 3: come from out of these breakfast. One of the things

993
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 3: came out is the National Black Unity Team. That's how

994
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 3: me and Bill got started with the National Black Unity News.

995
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 3: There's so many great things have happened just because we

996
00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 3: have come together great bread, to get the reason with

997
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 3: one another, uplift one another, and to remind ourselves our

998
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 3: roles in our homes, our communities, in our village, and

999
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 3: these conversations need to be had. But you know, it's

1000
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 3: not just about talking, it's about implement it's about doing it.

1001
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 3: And so we try to surround ourselves with people who

1002
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 3: are making a change or making differences. And for those

1003

00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 3: with black men.

00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,040

00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: you for what you do man. Thank you for spotlighting

1025
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: these young brothers that are you're taking on as you're

1026
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: wing and because not only becoming young writers, journalists, but

1027
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: also business people as well. So I really want to

1028
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: thank you for doing that. David.

1029
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 3: Can I add one more thing? See you're getting caught.

1030
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 3: I appreciate you, you know, you know your support. But

1031
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 3: you know again, these young folks inspired me. And let

1032
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,879
Speaker 3: me tell you something. Those who are horse elders you are,

1033
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 3: don't know. One of the worst things that can happen

1034
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 3: to an elder is to go through his grave and

1035
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:08,439
Speaker 3: then not share the information or or or the gifts

1036
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 3: in talent that God has given them to it to

1037
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 3: our people, especially our young people, and that's why I

1038
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,359
Speaker 3: seek young people. God has truly blessed me with gifts

1039
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 3: and talent, and I nurtured those gifting talents over the years.

1040
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 3: And I am honored and privilege of privilege to me

1041
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 3: to serve our young people because you know what, if

1042
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 3: it had not been for my elders, my family who

1043
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 3: supported me, I would not be doing things what I'm

1044
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 3: doing today. So I'm just paying it forward. But that's

1045
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 3: that's what it takes. It takes the village. We need

1046
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 3: to support one enough and and and and again. Race first,

1047
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 3: because guess what everybody else doing it. If we don't

1048
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 3: take care of our own first, how can we know

1049
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,359
Speaker 3: how can we serve anybody else? And if we don't

1050
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 3: render it, we then gave ourselves to other people. Now

1051
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 3: we need to get away from that. Car was saying

1052
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,760
Speaker 3: that colonized mindset. We need to renew our min said Cathy,

1053
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 3: you she just said the church in the media. You know,

1054
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 3: we have to put information the black media's called stated,

1055
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 3: we need to support that those who are putting out

1056
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 3: information that's going to highlight us and the church. You know,

1057
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 3: it's good to talk about behind and by, but you know,

1058
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 3: again the church need to get back the where they

1059
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,479
Speaker 3: were and had these type of meetings and conversations about

1060
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 3: how we should uplift us love one anothers because it's

1061
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 3: difficult for like I say, black people, like you say,

1062
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:33,879
Speaker 3: have has been taught to dislike ourselves. But the main thing,

1063
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 3: I just want to leave everybody on here. Look, I

1064
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 3: hope you know, I just want to say it this way.

1065
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 3: Would you say to somebody else what you say to yourself?

1066
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,280
Speaker 3: Would you actually say what you actually say to yourself?

1067
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 3: Almost on a daily basis, I'm this, and I'm that.

1068
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 3: I ain't this and I ain't that. Learn to love

1069
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 3: yourself because when you learn to love yourself and like yourself,

1070
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 3: then you able to put walk to everybody else. But

1071
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 3: that b said. Back to your call, Shay.

1075
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,800
Speaker 1: I'm still learning. I'm just I'm just grateful for this

1076
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,240
Speaker 1: conversations just have with David Murphy about our young people.

1077
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 1: It's so gratifying to wake up in the morning and

1078
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: hear our young people doing great things. And this is

1079
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 1: what brings us to you is you know, I did

1080
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 1: not know that David Murphy was going to talk about

1081
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 1: that because I know what you were going to discuss.

1082
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,839
Speaker 1: I mean about how do we visit our youth? And

1083
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: this is kind of what David Murphy started us. So

1084
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,280
Speaker 1: share that with us, because this is your latest project.

1085
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 1: You've written several books, but this is your latest project,

1086
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:43,280
Speaker 1: So share that with us, David Miller.

1087
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 9: So, so shout out to the you know, Baltimore, DC

1088
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 9: and surrounding listening community, and shout out to David Murphy

1089
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 9: and Bill Gooden and some of those other great brothers

1090
00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 9: who've been hosting both black men and boys for gatherings

1091
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 9: in Baltimore over a prolonged period of time. And that's something,

1092
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 9: you know, that's much needed. So call myself and a

1093
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 9: and a really good brother out of Raleigh, North Carolina,

1094
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 9: brother named Antoine Medley, had been trying to figure out

1095
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 9: over time, you know, ways to create deeper levels of

1096
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:30,319
Speaker 9: engagement among black men and boys, and and and and

1097
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 9: ways that we can begin to have more sustained intergenerational

1098
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 9: conversations across generations. Oftentimes you hear that the young don't

1099
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 9: listen to the old, and the old don't listen to

1100
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 9: the young. So we've launched an amazing book project for

1101
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 9: black men. You know, oftentimes we don't necessarily hear the

1102
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,760
Speaker 9: voices from black men. So we are launching a book

1103
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 9: project well underway called Letters to My Thirteen year Old Self,

1104
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:12,919
Speaker 9: Letters to My thirteen year Old Self, Wisdom, Wounds and Wins.

1105
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 9: So we're asking.

1106
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 3: Black men.

1107
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:21,439
Speaker 9: Over the age of twenty one years old to share

1108
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 9: your wisdom, your wounds, and your wins. We want you

1109
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 9: to go back and think. Think back to when you

1110
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 9: were thirteen years old.

1111
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 5: And you know you.

1112
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 9: Were living in the Bronx, or you were thirteen years

1113
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 9: old and you were living on the South side of Chicago,

1114
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 9: when you were thirteen years old and you were growing

1115
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 9: up in Barry Farms in DC off of Emerson Avenue

1116
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 9: or Pikesville and wherever you were raised, think back to

1117
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 9: when you were thirteen, and what wisdom would you have

1118
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 9: given yourself? What wisdom would you give your thirteen year

1119
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 9: old self? And so carl into the listening audience, this

1120
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 9: is a powerful anthology for black men. It's a gift

1121
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 9: from black men to black boys. And so we are

1122
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 9: pulling together this anthology, we're going to curate about two

1123
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 9: hundred and fifty letters from black men sharing their wisdom

1124
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 9: to their thirteen year old self. And so that's the

1125
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 9: project that we've been working on for some time now,

1126
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 9: and we just released it about four weeks ago and

1127
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 9: we're well on paced to collect about two hundred and

1128
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 9: fifty letters from black men sharing advice to your thirteen

1129
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 9: year old self.

1130
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: And Davey, can you share some of the advices these

1131
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: brothers giving their thirteen year old selves of this morning?

1132
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, And so one of the things car on to

1133
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 5: the listening audience.

1134
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 9: We've been super intentional in terms of our outreach and dissemination.

1135
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 9: While we have posted stuff on traditional social media platforms

1136
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 9: like Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, you know, we've also reached

1137
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 9: out to brothers that we've worked with. I've done a

1138
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 9: lot of work throughout the DC metropolitan area and across

1139
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 9: the country with particularly men who have had enormous challenges

1140
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 9: in their life, whether it's you know, related to substance

1141
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 9: abuse or issues with incarceration.

1142
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 5: So we have been really strategic and reaching out.

1143
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 9: The brothers of all aspects of life, Brothers with advanced degrees,

1144
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 9: brothers with no degrees, even brothers who you know made

1145
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 9: just coming home from a situation of incarceration. Because we

1146
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 9: believe everybody's reflection on their life is super important, and

1147
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 9: I help feature generations of young people. For example, a

1148
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 9: couple of days ago, I talked to a really good

1149
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 9: friend of mine.

1150
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: I just want David hold that story right there, because

1151
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: we've got to step auside for a few months. When

1152
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 1: you come back, I don't want to break your rhythm.

1153
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 1: We'll come back. I'll let you tell that story. Family.

1159
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: from the sisters as well. What would you tell them

1160
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 1: now that you know that you're older, you're an adult,

1161
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,400

1168
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 1: work week with our guest, doctor David Miller from Baltimore's

1169
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 1: written the book. It's actually a project. Well he's doing

1170

Speaker 1: is asking you to tell what would you tell your

Speaker 1: would you have it to your thirteen year old old self?

1174
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: Or what would you differently what you did at thirteen?

1175
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 1: So David, beforey left, you was about to tell us,

1176
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 1: tell us a little story. So I'll let you do that.

1177
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, thanks Carling for those that are just listening. In

1178
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 9: the title of the book is called Letters to My

1179
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 9: thirteen year o Self, Wisdom, Wounds and Winds, And our

1180
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 9: goal is to spark an inter generational dialogue among young

1181
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 9: and old. And this is an opportunity for black men

1182
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 9: to exercise their voice and to be able to share.

1183
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 3: Wisdom.

1184
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 9: If you could, if you could go back to your

1185
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 9: thirteen neuro self, what would you what would you share?

1186
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 9: And as I was saying before we went to break,

1187
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 9: we've been super intentional in terms of our outreach and

1188
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 9: dissemination of information. So while we're looking for brothers of

1189
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 9: all walks of life, you know, we we've specifically done

1190
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 9: some outreach to some of them that we've worked with

1191
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 9: over the years. So, for example, I reached out to

1192
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 9: a brother who I know who is a former member

1193
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 9: of the Crypts in Little Rock, Arkansas. He was featured

1194
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 9: in a documentary called Banging in Little Rock, and I

1195
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 9: had a conversation with him like what advice would you

1196
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 9: would you give your thirteen year old self? And so

1197
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 9: our goal is to put an anthology out on the

1198
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 9: street that is diverse in terms of thought, that is

1199
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 9: diverse in terms of perspectives. And so we are asking

1200
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 9: black men from every walk of life to consider what

1201
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 9: advice would you give your thirteen year old self? And

1202
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 9: we believe, Carl, that this is for us. It's a gift,

1203
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 9: if you will, to those young brothers that are coming

1204
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 9: up now, some who have not had the life affirming relationship,

1205
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 9: some who may or may not have had a life

1206
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 9: affirming relationship with their father or grandfather, or for even

1207
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 9: some of those young brothers who do have a relationship

1208
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 9: with their father, maybe they're things that they may not

1209
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 9: necessarily be able to talk to their dad or other

1210
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 9: men in their life about. So this anthology is almost

1211
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 9: like a gift, if you will, to a younger generation

1212
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 9: of black boys who are thinking manhood over the next

1213
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 9: you know, five to ten years.

1214
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 1: And that's interesting you mention that because many roll so many,

1215
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 1: well some of our young brothers grew up without a

1216
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: father in the home. So have you heard stories of that?

1217
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 1: How did they compensate without the dad being there while

1218
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 1: they were in their teenage years before you know, they

1219
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 1: reached thirteen, they're reaching pubacy, so they how did they

1220
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 1: navigate through all of that?

1221
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 9: And I think, man, the way that this book is

1222
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 9: is going to be laid out and presented and it's

1223
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 9: literally going to be a gift because the subtitle of

1224
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 9: the book is Wisdom, Wounds and Wins. And so even

1225
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 9: reading some of the letters that men have already written,

1226
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 9: men indicate the challenges that they had, you know, growing

1227
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 9: up shade with out a father. One on one particular

1228
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 9: brother out of New Orleans talked about the challenges that

1229
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 9: he faced growing up in a tough New Orleans neighborhood,

1230
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 9: but he gravitated he gravitated to a boys and girls

1231
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 9: club and he met a He met a coach at

1232
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 9: the boys and girls club who basically mentored him to

1233
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 9: Hampton University. He met this guy as a as a

1234
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 9: coach at a boys and girls club in New Orleans,

1235
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 9: and he had a mentor mental relationship with this coach

1236
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 9: to help him get to Hampton University. So those are

1237
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 9: some of the kinds of of nuggets and jewels that

1238
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 9: people sending us.

1239
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 1: You know, I had a conversation some time ago out

1240
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 1: about this with a young woman who was wearing her

1241
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: children boys, and she says, one of them woke up

1242
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 1: one morning and he's mom. His voice was changing. She's like,

1243
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 1: oh my god, you know, he's a man. And he

1244
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 1: looked startled because she was startled what came out of

1245
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 1: his mouth, because all of a sudden, he's got this

1246
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 1: deep bate, you know, this Barry White sound coming out

1247
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 1: to his mom, and she's used to his high pitch.

1248
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: She's realizing now this child is becoming a man, and

1249
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 1: his father wasn't around, and she was runnering what were

1250
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 1: the steps that she would take. So I just want

1251
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: to share that story with you because this is basically

1252
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 1: what we're talking about when when at that age, as

1253
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 1: young men, we're growing up, what do we do if

1254
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: there's no daddy in the home. Are you getting a

1255
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: lot of those stories, David, I mean we are.

1256
01:05:56,200 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 9: I mean, but the stories are diverse. I think oftentimes happens.

1257
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 9: What happens Carl is we we are brought into the

1258
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:08,959
Speaker 9: mythology that black men are absent and that that.

1259
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 5: Black men are not in the lives of their children, when.

1260
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 9: We are from even from a data perspective, we know

1261
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 9: black fathers are more involved in their lives, in the

1262
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 9: lives of their children than men of other racial groups.

1263
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 9: And so what we're finding and what we already have

1264
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 9: started to receive are sort of a diverse perspective. In

1265
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 9: terms of advice, some of the advice indicates.

1266
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 5: Dad may or may not have been as active as

1267
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 5: he should have been.

1268
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 3: Uh.

1269
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 5: For example, one of the pieces.

1270
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 9: That we got from a brother on the West Coast

1271
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:50,000
Speaker 9: a couple of days ago, where is he would have

1272
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 9: he would have gone back at thirteen and forgiven his

1273
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 9: dad for not being in the home. But it wasn't

1274
01:06:56,360 --> 01:07:00,160
Speaker 9: until he found out dad's story. Because a lot of times,

1275
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 9: Carl children grow up when mom and dad are not together.

1276
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:06,680
Speaker 9: A lot of times children only get one side of

1277
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 9: the story.

1278
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 5: So this brother talked about he blamed his dad.

1279
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 9: He's angry at his dad for his dad not necessarily

1280
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 9: being in the home. And so again the reality is

1281
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 9: there's some diverse thought and there's some very diverse stories

1282
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 9: that we're capturing in this new book.

1283
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 5: And again for those that may and just you, then you.

1284
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 9: Know, we're calling out to Lotty Dotting and everybody there

1285
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:35,040
Speaker 9: ways that brothers can support letters to my thirteen year

1286
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 9: old self, wisdom, rules and wins, And it's a gift.

1287
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 9: It's a gift from older black men to younger black

1288
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 9: boys and men. And so we're super, super excited. Carl

1289
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 9: brothers are texting me now from all over the country

1290
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 9: listening to the broadcast.

1291
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 5: My good brother out of Brooklyn just hit me up.

1292
01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 9: He said he's ready to sit down on his computer

1293
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 9: and bang something out and share.

1294
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 5: And so the word is getting out.

1295
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 1: Oh good, because you know, I think what we're gonna

1296
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 1: have or what you're gonna have, you probably know it already.

1297
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 1: It's sort of a generational thing because what happened when

1298
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 1: I was thirteen, it would be different from what was

1299
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 1: going on in your thirteen what was going on at

1300
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:19,640
Speaker 1: thirteen for other young men who were over thirteen in

1301
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:22,280
Speaker 1: different parts of the country or outside of the country scene,

1302
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 1: So our signal goes out all the way over now

1303
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,880
Speaker 1: through the internet, so they we're all experiencing different things.

1304
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:29,640
Speaker 1: Are you getting a lot of that as well? Or

1305
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 1: is it a lot of you know, there's just a

1306
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:34,799
Speaker 1: similar you know, thirteen year old teenager trying to figure

1307
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 1: out how to be an adult or wants to be

1308
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:38,559
Speaker 1: an adult kind of stories.

1309
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 3: No, it is. It is diverse.

1310
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 5: Man got a brother out of an elder.

1311
01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 9: Out of Spokechane Washington, eighty three years old, and he

1312
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 9: was he's sharing his letter to his thirteen year old self,

1313
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 9: and his letter is reflective of the time period that

1314
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:02,559
Speaker 9: he grew reppon. We're also intentional about getting you know,

1315
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 9: younger men. You have to be over the age of

1316
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 9: twenty one, and so again you see some diversity in

1317
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 9: terms of you know, I wish I could go back

1318
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:18,920
Speaker 9: and kind of you know, you know, spend more time

1319
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:23,640
Speaker 9: focused on school versus video games, and so you do

1320
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 9: see a lot of diversity, and you do see some

1321
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 9: really interesting nuances based on the generations in terms of

1322
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:35,679
Speaker 9: you know, the number of men who may cemit who

1323
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:37,759
Speaker 9: are eldest, because we because we also looking.

1324
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:39,920
Speaker 5: For grandfather great grandfathers.

1325
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 9: Because the wisdom that we need to share with young

1326
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 9: black males is so critically important. And while young brothers

1327
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 9: need to hear from young men in their twenties, they

1328
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 9: also need to hear from men in their eighties and nineties.

1329
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:58,600
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you thirty minutes to have the

1330
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 1: top family just checking in. I guess there's David Mailer,

1331
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 1: doctor David Millery. He's the latest project. You know it's

1332
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 1: an author, he's the latest project. Is what would you

1333
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 1: tell your thirteen year old self? What would you now?

1334
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:10,360
Speaker 1: And I want the sisters to get chime in as well.

1335
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:12,639
Speaker 1: If you're listening, what would you tell your thirteen year

1336
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 1: old self now that you're an adult? And the question

1337
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 1: I have for you, David, if the response is sort

1338
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: of regional, are you getting a different response from the

1339
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 1: brothers in the south, say from on the East coast

1340
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: and the West coast or or the Midwest, or are

1341
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 1: they generally all the same.

1342
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 9: Actually today when we where we kind of go and

1343
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 9: do some weekly reviews the letters that are coming in,

1344
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:40,800
Speaker 9: are coming in from all over the country. Not as

1345
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:44,640
Speaker 9: many from the West coast, but that will pick up

1346
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 9: because we have some colleagues and folk we know, you know,

1347
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 9: in the Oakland area and then Los Angeles, a great

1348
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:56,879
Speaker 9: deal of submissions from the southern part of the United States,

1349
01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 9: you know, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and definitely East

1350
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 9: Coasts is East Coastes is well represented. Talk to talk

1351
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 9: to some brothers in Toronto about two weeks ago because

1352
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 9: I was doing pre COVID, I was doing some work,

1353
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 9: uh with with some black organizations in Toronto. So we

1354
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 9: got black men in Toronto that will be chiming in.

1355
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 9: Got a couple of good brothers in the UK who

1356
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 9: will who will be chiming in from London and from Liverpool.

1357
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:31,880
Speaker 5: So so the.

1358
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 9: Advice that we're going to be sharing in this in

1359
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 9: this awesome anthology will be extremely heart selt cold as

1360
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 9: well as in many respects extremely provocative. You know, many

1361
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:54,519
Speaker 9: of the brothers have talked about early sexual experiences at thirteen,

1362
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 9: not not not ready. If they could do if they

1363
01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:00,639
Speaker 9: could have go back and do it all over again,

1364
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 9: they wouldn't have had sex at thirteen, or they you know,

1365
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 9: they would have been a better studio. They would have

1366
01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 9: listened to their parents, you know more.

1367
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:11,720
Speaker 5: Or they would have you know, focused.

1368
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:15,599
Speaker 9: On hanging out with a more positive peer group. So

1369
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:21,799
Speaker 9: the responses are very rich and extremely diverse in terms

1370
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:26,800
Speaker 9: of when I say diverse, in terms of like life experiences,

1371
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:32,639
Speaker 9: socioeconomic backgrounds. You mentioned region, and geography. So again we'll

1372
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:36,599
Speaker 9: have ample representation from black men throughout the United States

1373
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 9: from the south to northwest. But at the same time,

1374
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 9: we got some some brothers and internationally who are also

1375
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:51,080
Speaker 9: found out about what we're doing and willing to share.

1376
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 1: All right, twenty eight or away from the top of

1377
01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 1: the let's talk about sex. That scave body's attention now.

1378
01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 1: Since the brothers are confession what they do with thirteen,

1379
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 1: are you hearing what kind of wild or are they

1380
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:05,000
Speaker 1: wild stories? Are they just sex? Is same sex? Is

1381
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:08,360
Speaker 1: it sex with the olders, the sex with relatives? Is

1382
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 1: this sort of a confessional thing, David, that you're hearing

1383
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 1: on the issue of sex or is it sex with

1384
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 1: just at the same age or what are you hearing?

1385
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 5: Well, I don't want to share everything because you got it.

1386
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:22,639
Speaker 9: We definitely want to give people to get the book,

1387
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:25,160
Speaker 9: and we're going to be you know, touring the country

1388
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 9: and every man who submits a letter and once the

1389
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:32,719
Speaker 9: letter is approved as a you know, vetting process, they'll

1390
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:35,639
Speaker 9: actually get a free copy of the book.

1391
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:39,560
Speaker 5: Again, the the.

1392
01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:46,000
Speaker 9: Letters that the brothers have been sharing have been extremely diverse,

1393
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 9: hard hitting, powerful and really sharing deep thought and insight

1394
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 9: because Carlings, you know, when you get an opportunity to

1395
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 9: sit down and kind of reflect and think back to

1396
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 9: when you were a younger person, particularly thirteen fourteen years old,

1397
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:06,759
Speaker 9: which is a very pivotal time in our boys' life

1398
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:09,599
Speaker 9: for many of us. We started liking girls at thirteen,

1399
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:12,960
Speaker 9: you know, we started to explore a little bit more.

1400
01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 1: I hope we haven't lost David sound like his call

1401
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:23,519
Speaker 1: drop thirteen. We always looked at that he talked about girls.

1402
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 1: Of course at thirteen, and it was looked to you

1403
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:29,000
Speaker 1: we thought were older boys, but they're nothing but twelfth graders.

1404
01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 1: But they had more experience than we had as as teenagers.

1405
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 1: As thirteen and fourteen years old were I think it

1406
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: was sports, you know, like I mentioned, we want to

1407
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:39,559
Speaker 1: play be the point guard for the Knicks or something.

1408
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 1: But it was all as sports or cars or girls

1409
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:45,479
Speaker 1: and then we were we thought these guys were were adults,

1410
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:47,320
Speaker 1: but they were in the high schoo they were in

1411
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:49,280
Speaker 1: high school. You know, we're thirteen years old. So we

1412
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:51,719
Speaker 1: looked up to them that talked to talking about sex

1413
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:54,720
Speaker 1: and love and girls and that was their conversation. So

1414
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 1: in my group that we had three camps. One camp

1415
01:14:57,320 --> 01:14:59,760
Speaker 1: we talked about cars. A group of guys were just

1416
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:02,080
Speaker 1: all about cars or different cars and all that. And

1417
01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:05,599
Speaker 1: then you have another guy that just sports, just about sports,

1418
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:09,360
Speaker 1: basketball or football. Those are two main topics. Then the

1419
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:13,200
Speaker 1: other camp was girls and and we used to move

1420
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 1: through the three different camps, you know. And this was

1421
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,720
Speaker 1: sitting on especially in the summertime, just sitting on the

1422
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:23,280
Speaker 1: sidewalk and having these conversations. That was that was of

1423
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 1: my thirteen year old growing up. But what are yours?

1424
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:31,320
Speaker 1: David Miller's guest family and he's this is his latest project.

1425
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:33,759
Speaker 1: What would you tell your thirteen year old self? So, David,

1426
01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:35,840
Speaker 1: before I'll let you finish your thought, because we sort

1427
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:38,799
Speaker 1: of dropped you in mid sentence.

1428
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:43,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, somehow, somehow we got disconnected. I was just saying.

1429
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 10: At thirteen, for a lot of us, you know, many

1430
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 10: of us started to to you know, start to like

1431
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:53,280
Speaker 10: girls at thirteen, starting to realize as kind of a

1432
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 10: preteen or a team and girls are different or she

1433
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 10: you know, she's she's so cute, or she smells good

1434
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 10: or whatever. And you know, for a lot of thirteen

1435
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:06,440
Speaker 10: year old boys, you get to explore your general environment

1436
01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 10: a little bit more. So maybe it at ten years old,

1437
01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 10: you could only be you know, five blocks away from

1438
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:16,280
Speaker 10: your house, and then maybe at eleven, twelve, thirteen, you know,

1439
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 10: you are venturing further out. I remember at thirteen, you know,

1440
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:24,599
Speaker 10: we riding bikes all over the city. We ten miles

1441
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 10: away from my house on my bike in different you know, neighborhoods.

1442
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:32,280
Speaker 10: And so I think that that's the beauty of the

1443
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:35,639
Speaker 10: project that we are that we're doing for Black Man

1444
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 10: Letters to your thirteen year old self, that it is

1445
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:42,160
Speaker 10: going to be diverse. So while some brothers may talk about,

1446
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:46,519
Speaker 10: you know, they had their first kiss at thirteen, or

1447
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:49,439
Speaker 10: they had their first sexual experience at thirteen, what advice

1448
01:16:49,479 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 10: would they have given themselves, Because in a few of

1449
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 10: the pieces that we've already read, a couple brothers admitted

1450
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:58,719
Speaker 10: that they had sex for the first time at thirteen,

1451
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:04,120
Speaker 10: but they were not physically or emotionally ready for that experience.

1452
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:07,439
Speaker 10: But as we talk call a couple of days ago,

1453
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 10: a lot of times because of the peer pressure from

1454
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 10: some of the older boys, they felt like they had

1455
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 10: to have sex at twelve and thirteen, and so again,

1456
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:18,880
Speaker 10: I think that that kind of also adds to the

1457
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 10: richness and the diversity and the scope of the project

1458
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:28,720
Speaker 10: that their brothers are sharing stories about everything from what

1459
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 10: they would have done differently in terms of relationships with

1460
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:35,680
Speaker 10: their parents, you know, forgiveness, things that they would have

1461
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 10: done in school, you know, sports, The topics and the

1462
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 10: and the letters are extremely diverse in terms of ideas.

1463
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:51,320
Speaker 1: All right, twenty three Away from the topic, I step

1464
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:53,639
Speaker 1: aside and check the news, trafficking, weather in a different city.

1465
01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:54,240
Speaker 1: So I'll come back.

1466
01:17:54,240 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 3: Then.

1467
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 1: I want to ask you why thirteen, because you know,

1468
01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 1: two more years, it's a whole different you're in you know,

1469
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:02,400
Speaker 1: you're different, You're you're a teenager in fully fact that

1470
01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 1: you know, the Spanish people have the Conincierra for the girls,

1471
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:08,799
Speaker 1: Bob Mitzler for the Jewish people, and in our culture

1472
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 1: sometimes we have the rights of passage when you get

1473
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 1: to that age. So why thirteen? I'll let you explain

1474
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:16,040
Speaker 1: that when we get back family YouTube and get in

1503
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:24,320
Speaker 1: Before we left it for the news updates, my question

1504
01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:26,720
Speaker 1: to you was why thirteen? Because I know you do

1505
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 1: a rights of passage thing as well as I mentioned

1506
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 1: the Jews through the Barbitch and bat Mitzvah and and

1507
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:35,280
Speaker 1: the other folks. The Latinas do it. What do they

1508
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:37,639
Speaker 1: call it quin stierio or something I'm over and pronounce

1509
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:41,680
Speaker 1: it correctly when they get to the Yeah, So why

1510
01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:43,719
Speaker 1: did you make it? Why didn't you make it closer

1511
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 1: to those those that age lin So.

1512
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 10: Even at just a shout out to the Baltimore Write

1513
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 10: sur Passage Initiative, which I'm one of the co leads,

1514
01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 10: we just believe man, thirteen is just such a critical age,

1515
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:04,680
Speaker 10: you know for young black males, particularly based on some

1516
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 10: of the things that I've always have shared and my

1517
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:11,960
Speaker 10: you know, twenty plus years of experience working with this population.

1518
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 10: Again at thirteen, call that transition from pre teen to teenager.

1519
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:22,040
Speaker 10: Many boys really start to like girls.

1520
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 3: Again.

1521
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:27,719
Speaker 10: We start to explore our general environment a little bit more.

1522
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:32,000
Speaker 10: We're starting to get ready to make that transition from

1523
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 10: middle school to high school, which is which is a

1524
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:41,799
Speaker 10: extremely challenging transition when boys leave, you know, the middle

1525
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:44,519
Speaker 10: school and go into high school. And so we just

1526
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:50,599
Speaker 10: thought that thirteen was such a you know, critically important age,

1527
01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 10: and then when I think about my own life, you know,

1528
01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:57,679
Speaker 10: you know, being thirteen, you know, really struggling in school,

1529
01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:02,559
Speaker 10: you know, trying to figure out, you know, ultimately, you know,

1530
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:04,760
Speaker 10: what would be my you know, direction. A lot of

1531
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 10: young men are grappling with both sports and academics and

1532
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:14,080
Speaker 10: home life. Again at thirteen, even with some of the

1533
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:18,160
Speaker 10: letters that we've already received, some of the boards, some

1534
01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 10: of the some of the men talk about they wish

1535
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:23,040
Speaker 10: they would have forgiven one or more of their parents

1536
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:26,880
Speaker 10: at thirteen, as they begin to learn as they as

1537
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:29,720
Speaker 10: they begin to grow and become more mature, and they

1538
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:33,479
Speaker 10: begin to learn more about the challenges that their parents

1539
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 10: had to go through when they were growing up, and

1540
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 10: so that's one of the reasons why we've settled on

1541
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 10: that on that magical age.

1542
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:45,880
Speaker 5: Of thirteen twelve.

1543
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:47,639
Speaker 1: Way from the topic, I'm just gonna tweet from Reggie

1544
01:21:47,680 --> 01:21:49,880
Speaker 1: Ready says, at thirteen, he was wondering what was he

1545
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 1: doing in school? Nobody told him why he's going to school.

1546
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 1: He wants to know if you've if you've you know,

1547
01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 1: received a similar reports.

1548
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:00,120
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, that's that's a that's a big one. And

1549
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:03,439
Speaker 10: at thirteen, you start to really question like the meaning

1550
01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:07,240
Speaker 10: of life, you know, as a as a thirteen you know,

1551
01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:09,680
Speaker 10: you're old black boy. Why am I Why am I

1552
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:14,120
Speaker 10: even doing this? You know, this stuff that they got me,

1553
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 10: you know.

1554
01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:16,400
Speaker 3: Doing at school?

1555
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:20,720
Speaker 10: Is is it relevant? Is it gonna help me make money?

1556
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:26,240
Speaker 10: You know Juwanza the ancestor, doctor Juwanza kan Jufful, you know,

1557
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 10: talked about that third grade syndrome. A lot of these

1558
01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:34,919
Speaker 10: boys by thirteen have already like disconnected. I know at thirteen,

1559
01:22:35,320 --> 01:22:37,840
Speaker 10: I was already and I, you know, grew up great

1560
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:41,000
Speaker 10: parents or whatever the case may be. Mom was an educator.

1561
01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:45,639
Speaker 10: I was already disconnected from school at thirteen, not thinking

1562
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 10: that school was relevant or that it could make a

1563
01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 10: difference in my future life.

1564
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:53,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I concur with Reggie because you know, those

1565
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:55,720
Speaker 1: is who we started questioning why am I going to

1566
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 1: church as well not to school? You started questioning things,

1567
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:03,880
Speaker 1: especially you know for me growing up in going to church,

1568
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 1: especially on Easter, like three hours you got to figure

1569
01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:09,080
Speaker 1: out way and you're watching the clock and you know

1570
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:12,200
Speaker 1: why am I doing this? You're right? So Ritchie, thank

1571
01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 1: you for that tweet, you know, because she's wondering what's

1572
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 1: your school? Forth? It was was it our parents fault?

1573
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 1: And I tell us because they say you're going to

1574
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 1: church or you going to school? Parents then say this

1575
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:24,320
Speaker 1: is why you're going to school, this is why we

1576
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:27,160
Speaker 1: go to church. I think that's what they fell short.

1577
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:28,120
Speaker 1: Some of our parents.

1578
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 3: Well I wouldn't say our parents sell short.

1579
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 10: I think our parents did what their parents did. And

1580
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:38,639
Speaker 10: so with this project, you know, letters to my thirteen

1581
01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:43,040
Speaker 10: year old self, wisdom, wounds and winds. You know, the

1582
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 10: black men that are submitting letters have an opportunity to

1583
01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:49,559
Speaker 10: be reflective. You know what advice would you give your

1584
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 10: thirteen yourself? I was laughing called because I remember my

1585
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:55,559
Speaker 10: parents were making me and my brother go to church

1586
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:58,360
Speaker 10: and we'd be sitting in church for like three hours,

1587
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:00,880
Speaker 10: and we would be like, yo, why are we here?

1588
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 3: You know?

1589
01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:06,080
Speaker 10: And so it wasn't it wasn't made relevant, it wasn't

1590
01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:11,160
Speaker 10: made playing. And so again I think, I think at thirteen,

1591
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:15,520
Speaker 10: again you start to explore more of your general surroundings.

1592
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:19,040
Speaker 10: You start to ask more why questions. You know, why

1593
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 10: am I doing this?

1594
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:20,840
Speaker 3: You know?

1595
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:23,360
Speaker 10: Why do we have to go here? I remember my

1596
01:24:23,439 --> 01:24:26,160
Speaker 10: parents wanted me to learn how to play the piano.

1597
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:28,639
Speaker 10: Why y'all want me to learn the piano? I want

1598
01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:31,600
Speaker 10: to be on the basketball court, right, And so a

1599
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:37,240
Speaker 10: lot of these questions start to emerge at thirteen. And

1600
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:39,080
Speaker 10: like I said before, call let me let me give

1601
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 10: off the website because I know I've been sharing some

1602
01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:46,200
Speaker 10: some content. Let us to my thirteen dot com. So

1603
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:50,800
Speaker 10: let us to my number thirteen dot com. Let us

1604
01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 10: to my thirteen dot com. And this is a project.

1605
01:24:56,240 --> 01:25:00,000
Speaker 10: I am one of the editors, along with an accept

1606
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:05,600
Speaker 10: optional brother out of Rileigh, North Carolina, Antoine Medley, And

1607
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 10: this is our gift, you know, to young black males.

1608
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:11,679
Speaker 10: I mean, I have a son, and when I look

1609
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:13,960
Speaker 10: at my son, I look at him now as a man.

1610
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:18,040
Speaker 10: But I also think back to when he was a

1611
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:23,960
Speaker 10: very impressionable pre teen and a teenager. And so, you know,

1612
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 10: we believe that this project is going to be a

1613
01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:30,559
Speaker 10: gift to younger black males. And it's letters L E

1614
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 10: T T E R S two T O M Y

1615
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:37,080
Speaker 10: the number thirteen dot com.

1616
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:39,400
Speaker 1: All right, ate away from the topic. I got a

1617
01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:42,200
Speaker 1: tweet for you. It's a long tweet, but the essence

1618
01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:45,240
Speaker 1: of it is basically I'm just part of it says,

1619
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:47,800
Speaker 1: have you come across parents who are concerned that at

1620
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:50,280
Speaker 1: thirteen that child might be gay? And how to address that?

1621
01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:52,840
Speaker 1: And he goes on to say, what have you got

1622
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:57,640
Speaker 1: any response from from people who were questioning their sexuality

1623
01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:00,320
Speaker 1: where they male or female? Did you get any of those?

1624
01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:05,639
Speaker 10: We've gotten one or two. Now, Now keep in mind,

1625
01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:09,120
Speaker 10: we haven't gone through all of the letters, because it's

1626
01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:11,320
Speaker 10: a lot. We haven't we haven't. We haven't had a

1627
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:14,840
Speaker 10: chance to go through every single letter. That will be

1628
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:18,320
Speaker 10: a process where we'll be going through every single letter,

1629
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:21,920
Speaker 10: will vet every single letter, will reach out to every

1630
01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:25,040
Speaker 10: black man who submits a letter. This is some you know,

1631
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:27,519
Speaker 10: there's some things that you have to sign off on

1632
01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:30,560
Speaker 10: that you agree to participate in the project. And that

1633
01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:34,960
Speaker 10: your letter will be included in our anthology. Each black

1634
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:39,000
Speaker 10: man who writes a letter, you will get a free copy,

1635
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:41,439
Speaker 10: you know, of the book. When the book drops by

1636
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:44,240
Speaker 10: in September, you'll get a You'll get a free copy.

1637
01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 10: But but but again, Carl, until your listening audience, the

1638
01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:57,040
Speaker 10: responses have been and continue to be deeply profound, rich

1639
01:26:57,200 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 10: in terms of insight of what men when they sing back,

1640
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:04,240
Speaker 10: you know too, when they were thirteen.

1641
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:06,639
Speaker 3: But then a.

1642
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:10,280
Speaker 10: Lot of a lot of the content, Karl is just

1643
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 10: real simple advice.

1644
01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 11: You know.

1645
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:15,120
Speaker 10: One brother was like, Yo, I just wish I would

1646
01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:18,320
Speaker 10: have listened to my mom. I was mad at my

1647
01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:22,559
Speaker 10: mom because dad and mom was always beefing. If I

1648
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:25,400
Speaker 10: could go back and give my my thirteen year old

1649
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:29,679
Speaker 10: self some advice, I would give my parents grace because

1650
01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:35,800
Speaker 10: they were young when they had me. Simple but also profound.

1651
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:41,559
Speaker 1: Man, Oh yeah, because you know at thirteen again, yes,

1652
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:44,759
Speaker 1: you're right. You're questioning why am I here? What's what's

1653
01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 1: the purpose?

1654
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:47,559
Speaker 10: You questioned it everything at thirteen?

1655
01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:50,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what do we do with this? Are you right?

1656
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:52,400
Speaker 1: Because a lot of our parents said, you said you're

1657
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:55,280
Speaker 1: going to church, you know? Or are you going to school?

1658
01:27:55,320 --> 01:27:58,160
Speaker 1: And not telling it. You tell in the car, Yeah,

1659
01:27:58,200 --> 01:28:00,280
Speaker 1: get in the car, go ahead, you're going and.

1660
01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:06,200
Speaker 10: You going to camp, right? You know, I remember my

1661
01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:10,360
Speaker 10: parents used to make us go to vacation Bibles, Bibles, camp,

1662
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:13,840
Speaker 10: Bible thing on on in the summertime. Yo, I want

1663
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:16,880
Speaker 10: to be on the basketball court, like I'm not. I

1664
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:19,000
Speaker 10: want to be out there with my friends. And you

1665
01:28:19,120 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 10: got me going to vacation Bible school. So a lot

1666
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:26,560
Speaker 10: of the why questions at thirteen, you begin to do.

1667
01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:29,599
Speaker 10: You begin to realize, I'm I'm, I'm, I'm I'm on

1668
01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:33,920
Speaker 10: this journey right, I'm gonna be going to high school, right,

1669
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:36,640
Speaker 10: I'm I'm I'm looking at them older dudes on the

1670
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:39,639
Speaker 10: basketball court. Well, I'm looking at the older black men

1671
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:42,840
Speaker 10: in my neighborhood. While I'm moving around, I'm starting to

1672
01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:48,040
Speaker 10: explore my general surroundings more. And so we believe thirteen

1673
01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:53,800
Speaker 10: is an extremely pivotal point in a in a in

1674
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:57,960
Speaker 10: a young black male's development. And so we're just asking

1675
01:28:58,439 --> 01:29:03,080
Speaker 10: black men they share your reflection in a letter. Now,

1676
01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:06,320
Speaker 10: you don't have a whole lot of wiggle room. You know,

1677
01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:09,680
Speaker 10: the submissions. It has to be one hundred words or

1678
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,120
Speaker 10: less because we're not. You don't have time to tell

1679
01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:14,760
Speaker 10: your whole life story and you went in the military

1680
01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:17,960
Speaker 10: and then you lived in Chicago. We want you to

1681
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:21,400
Speaker 10: get to the meeting potatoes. We want you to zero

01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:24,519
Speaker 10: in on what what advice you would give your thirteen

1683
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:28,840
Speaker 10: year old self. And so the book project is Letters

1690
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:56,960

1691
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:59,479
Speaker 10: like to write call, but this is an opportunity for

1692
01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:03,160
Speaker 10: you to watch and be reflective based on your story.

1693
01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:06,439
Speaker 10: And so we're super excited. The book will probably be

1694
01:30:06,760 --> 01:30:12,360
Speaker 10: released in September. Every man who submits a letter and

1695
01:30:12,520 --> 01:30:15,960
Speaker 10: we accept a letter, you'll get a free copy of

1696
01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:19,080
Speaker 10: the book. And just you're super excited calling. As I

1697
01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:22,920
Speaker 10: said before, this book is pretty much a love letter

1698
01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:24,520
Speaker 10: to young black males.

1699
01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:26,439
Speaker 3: That's what it is.

1700
01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:29,360
Speaker 5: It's a love Let.

1701
01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:30,800
Speaker 1: Me do this because it's three minutes away from the

1702
01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:32,120
Speaker 1: top of that, we're to take a traffick in at

1703
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:34,280
Speaker 1: different cities. I got another tweet question and tweeter says,

1704
01:30:34,680 --> 01:30:36,719
Speaker 1: at thirteen he thought he was always going to be thirteen.

1705
01:30:36,760 --> 01:30:39,640
Speaker 1: He never thought he would grow up. It's always I guess,

1706
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:42,439
Speaker 1: kind of like the Peter Pan syndrome. The Michael Jackson

1707
01:30:42,479 --> 01:30:44,400
Speaker 1: always thought he's going to be a child. I want

1708
01:30:44,439 --> 01:30:46,439
Speaker 1: to address that when we get back family, you two

1709
01:30:46,439 --> 01:30:48,640
Speaker 1: can get it on. This conversation with David Millan is

1710
01:30:48,680 --> 01:30:51,000
Speaker 1: the project. What would you tell your thirteen year old self?

1711
01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:53,040
Speaker 1: Now as an adult? What would you tell yourself at thirteen?

1712
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:54,640
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, just got a tweet the young man

1713
01:30:55,080 --> 01:30:56,960
Speaker 1: he thought he was gonna be thirty's that's it, it

1714
01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:59,120
Speaker 1: would never grow up. What are your thoughts. We'll take

1715
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:01,160
Speaker 1: a calls after we check the news, trafficking, weather, and

1716
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:04,719
Speaker 1: also the sports as well. That's next and Grand Rising

1717
01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:06,920
Speaker 1: family facts are sticking with us on this Wednesday morning,

1718
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:08,800
Speaker 1: hump Day. We're halfway through the work week with our

1719
01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:10,920
Speaker 1: guest that David Miller coming up. We're gonna speak with

1720
01:31:10,960 --> 01:31:12,840
Speaker 1: the Faith Brothers and later on we can talk to

1721
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:15,640
Speaker 1: mart from Anaheim. But David, the question the tweet I

1722
01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:19,080
Speaker 1: got from I guess it was an adult. It must

1723
01:31:19,080 --> 01:31:21,400
Speaker 1: have be an adult. He says, at thirteen, he thought

1724
01:31:21,400 --> 01:31:24,040
Speaker 1: he would be a child, He'd be thirteen continuously he

1725
01:31:24,080 --> 01:31:26,880
Speaker 1: would never grow up. Are you getting your reports like

1726
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:27,919
Speaker 1: that for your project?

1727
01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:37,639
Speaker 10: Yeah, and that's not an uncommon thought, and sadly call

1728
01:31:37,760 --> 01:31:40,400
Speaker 10: into the listening audience. And again we also call it

1729
01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:44,120
Speaker 10: the kind of the Peter Pan syndrome. A lot of

1730
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:47,639
Speaker 10: us never grow up. And one of the reasons why

1731
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:50,800
Speaker 10: a lot of us never grow up is because we

1732
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:55,400
Speaker 10: don't necessarily have the role modeling the guidance and instruction.

1733
01:31:56,240 --> 01:32:01,120
Speaker 10: And so you know this, this anthology, this gift to

1734
01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:05,439
Speaker 10: young Black males, this love letter, if you will, that

1735
01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:09,080
Speaker 10: we're working on to young black males, is an opportunity

1736
01:32:09,160 --> 01:32:15,240
Speaker 10: for black men of all right, for life to share

1737
01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:17,559
Speaker 10: letters to their younger self.

1738
01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:21,280
Speaker 1: Okay, so how can folks get involved in the project.

1739
01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:26,559
Speaker 10: David hit us up on the website Letters to my

01:32:55,120 --> 01:33:00,080
Speaker 1: thanks David Miller for Baltimore. This project is what would

1750
01:32:59,920 --> 01:33:02,439
Speaker 1: you tell your thirteen year old self? Now you're an adult,

1751
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,080
Speaker 1: you know, with thirteen, what were you doing? That's the

1752
01:33:05,160 --> 01:33:07,960
Speaker 1: current Manning grand Rising, what you were doing?

1753
01:33:08,640 --> 01:33:10,400
Speaker 7: So good to be with you, my brother, Good to

1754
01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:12,479
Speaker 7: be on the program today.

1755
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:15,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you remember what you were doing at thirteen?

1756
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:19,559
Speaker 1: Were you stunning your career as a pastor?

1757
01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:27,320
Speaker 7: Absolutely not. At thirteen, I was. I was going into

1758
01:33:27,520 --> 01:33:31,719
Speaker 7: high school and already experimenting on a lot of things.

1759
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:35,599
Speaker 7: I was trying to fill a hole in my heart

1760
01:33:35,800 --> 01:33:39,479
Speaker 7: that only God can feel based on some things that

1761
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:43,600
Speaker 7: happened to me in my childhood. And so I was

1762
01:33:44,080 --> 01:33:45,240
Speaker 7: in an interesting place.

1763
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:45,720
Speaker 10: You know.

1764
01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:47,960
Speaker 7: I was one of those kids, as you probably know,

1765
01:33:48,080 --> 01:33:50,799
Speaker 7: that always went to church because it wasn't an option.

1766
01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:54,240
Speaker 7: You know, nowadays little billy can can choose, but we

1767
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:56,080
Speaker 7: didn't have a choice. So I was in church, but

1768
01:33:56,680 --> 01:33:59,080
Speaker 7: outside of church, I lived a double life. I was

1769
01:33:59,280 --> 01:34:02,240
Speaker 7: a double eight just before before I even knew what

1770
01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:04,599
Speaker 7: it was because I was going to church and smiling

1771
01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:09,120
Speaker 7: and memorizing Bible verses. But I was also drinking on

1772
01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:13,080
Speaker 7: the side, an experiment, starting to experiment with with weed.

1773
01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:16,240
Speaker 7: But then I was a great student, I mean, you know,

1774
01:34:16,280 --> 01:34:18,360
Speaker 7: so I was just I was juggling a lot of stuff,

1775
01:34:18,400 --> 01:34:21,000
Speaker 7: trying to find trying to find myself. So I did

1776
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:25,479
Speaker 7: a lot early as an early teen, and then I

1777
01:34:25,520 --> 01:34:28,280
Speaker 7: gave my life to Christ as a sixteen year old,

1778
01:34:29,160 --> 01:34:32,639
Speaker 7: sixteen seventeen year old. So I'm thankful that I made

1779
01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:35,840
Speaker 7: it through that, through that period because a lot of

1780
01:34:35,880 --> 01:34:39,599
Speaker 7: my friends either didn't make it or you know, they

1781
01:34:39,680 --> 01:34:42,960
Speaker 7: became fathers really early and mothers really early. I had

1782
01:34:43,640 --> 01:34:46,080
Speaker 7: I could think of three or four girls in middle

1783
01:34:46,160 --> 01:34:50,400
Speaker 7: school that had babies. So you know, I'm just thankful

1784
01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:53,760
Speaker 7: that the Lord helped me through that. And I realized

1785
01:34:54,080 --> 01:34:58,360
Speaker 7: my value and work wasn't depending on what I could

1786
01:34:58,400 --> 01:35:00,439
Speaker 7: do for others, but what Christ is done for me.

1787
01:35:00,520 --> 01:35:02,519
Speaker 7: And when I realized that he gave his life for me,

1788
01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:06,240
Speaker 7: my response was, well, the least I could do is

1789
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:08,280
Speaker 7: give my give my life to you and live for you.

1790
01:35:08,360 --> 01:35:11,840
Speaker 7: And that's what I decided to do. That was September

1791
01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:13,679
Speaker 7: the fifteenth, nineteen eighty five.

1792
01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:18,479
Speaker 1: Do you remember why, because you had a choice past

1793
01:35:18,520 --> 01:35:19,920
Speaker 1: the car, when you could have stood out of the

1794
01:35:19,920 --> 01:35:24,080
Speaker 1: streets and chasing girls, smoking weed, drinking. What made you

1795
01:35:24,479 --> 01:35:27,280
Speaker 1: Why didn't you go in that direction? What was it

1796
01:35:27,320 --> 01:35:30,360
Speaker 1: that you think that you can share with us?

1797
01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:34,400
Speaker 7: Because none of those things brought complete fulfillment. It was

1798
01:35:34,479 --> 01:35:40,479
Speaker 7: just it was just a spiral deeper into what I believe.

1799
01:35:40,600 --> 01:35:42,880
Speaker 7: I really believed that if I had not made that

1800
01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:48,160
Speaker 7: decision that Sunday evening at that youth revival, I probably

1801
01:35:48,240 --> 01:35:51,160
Speaker 7: would have spun off and tried something else. And that's

1802
01:35:51,280 --> 01:35:56,880
Speaker 7: you know, early eighties, you know, that's when the crack

1803
01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:59,640
Speaker 7: and all of these other things are coming into our community,

1804
01:36:00,200 --> 01:36:03,080
Speaker 7: and and I'm sure I would have. I probably would

1805
01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:06,920
Speaker 7: have got caught up in that aide was starting to

1806
01:36:07,240 --> 01:36:12,479
Speaker 7: to to, you know, come into our community, and I

1807
01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:16,120
Speaker 7: could have easily contracted that. I mean, there's just a

1808
01:36:16,120 --> 01:36:18,880
Speaker 7: lot of things I believe that I was everything I

1809
01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:22,559
Speaker 7: was trying. Never didn't make me, didn't satisfy me, didn't

1810
01:36:22,600 --> 01:36:26,960
Speaker 7: fulfill me. To this day, I don't drink because I

1811
01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:30,240
Speaker 7: drank so much as a kid, and I only drank

1812
01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:33,080
Speaker 7: to get drunk. I never knew about wine pairings and

1813
01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:36,439
Speaker 7: tastings and things like that, and and and it doesn't

1814
01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:40,400
Speaker 7: do anything for me now because just that lifestyle just

1815
01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:44,439
Speaker 7: ruined that for me in those early days, because I

1816
01:36:44,479 --> 01:36:47,400
Speaker 7: was trying to feel a void. But I found when

1817
01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:52,280
Speaker 7: I found Christ, that void was filled and I felt

1818
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:56,920
Speaker 7: I felt pure love and that love is what I

1819
01:36:56,920 --> 01:36:59,639
Speaker 7: had been longing for. It's not but it's not found

1820
01:36:59,720 --> 01:37:03,840
Speaker 7: in a bottle of riches wilde Irish roads, while y'all

1821
01:37:03,880 --> 01:37:07,000
Speaker 7: don't know nothing about that, the listeners, but it wasn't

1822
01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:11,559
Speaker 7: found There wasn't found in the marijuana purchase from Jamaica, Joe.

1823
01:37:12,240 --> 01:37:14,879
Speaker 7: It wasn't found in, you know, in the arms of

1824
01:37:14,920 --> 01:37:16,840
Speaker 7: all the young ladies I was trying to sleep with

1825
01:37:16,920 --> 01:37:20,040
Speaker 7: and all of that. So when I found true love

1826
01:37:21,080 --> 01:37:23,840
Speaker 7: and I found purpose for my life, I found Christ.

1827
01:37:23,880 --> 01:37:26,520
Speaker 7: That's when I was I just was, you know, determined

1828
01:37:26,520 --> 01:37:29,880
Speaker 7: to live for him. And it hasn't I haven't been

1829
01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:32,760
Speaker 7: perfect because you know, I've sinned of course since then,

1830
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:36,400
Speaker 7: and I still sin. But the Bible says when we sin,

1831
01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:38,880
Speaker 7: if we confess our sins, He's faithful and just to

1832
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:41,720
Speaker 7: forgive us of our sins. And to cleanses from all

1833
01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:46,360
Speaker 7: of our unrighteousness. So it's been a walk of trusting God.

1834
01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:48,559
Speaker 7: And when you miss the mark, that's what sin means.

1835
01:37:48,600 --> 01:37:50,840
Speaker 7: When you miss the mark, you get back, You get

1836
01:37:50,880 --> 01:37:53,439
Speaker 7: back up, get back in line, and give it to

1837
01:37:53,560 --> 01:37:56,599
Speaker 7: him and turn away from it so that you can

1838
01:37:56,680 --> 01:37:57,240
Speaker 7: keep going.

1839
01:37:58,280 --> 01:38:00,360
Speaker 1: You know, I'm glad you shared your story with us

1840
01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:02,720
Speaker 1: because so many of us in the people in the

1841
01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:06,800
Speaker 1: black community have a stereotical idea of what the black

1842
01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:09,000
Speaker 1: pastor is. But I gotta ask you this question, though,

1843
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:11,960
Speaker 1: past the kurry, at what point, though, did you make that?

1844
01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:15,360
Speaker 1: What was it? Was it something special? Because you, like

1845
01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:17,080
Speaker 1: you said, he could have went left that you went right.

1846
01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:19,479
Speaker 1: What was it? Was there something that happened in your

1847
01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:22,200
Speaker 1: life that made you say, I'm gonna give up the

1848
01:38:22,200 --> 01:38:26,000
Speaker 1: weed smoking, chasing women and running around like that and

1849
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to go to church. Something happened that.

1850
01:38:29,160 --> 01:38:34,280
Speaker 7: You know, wasn't it wasn't a traumatic one traumatic event.

1851
01:38:34,439 --> 01:38:36,840
Speaker 7: I mean, there was a lot of other little things,

1852
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:39,280
Speaker 7: but but you know, the typical stuff growing up in

1853
01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:42,120
Speaker 7: the black community. You know, I was just you know,

1854
01:38:42,400 --> 01:38:44,880
Speaker 7: like I said, I was an academic student as well,

1855
01:38:44,920 --> 01:38:48,679
Speaker 7: and and I'm just kind of doing the math, seeing

1856
01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:52,800
Speaker 7: the disparities even even you know, actually I actually recognize

1857
01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:56,439
Speaker 7: the disparities in our in my community, in the educational system,

1858
01:38:57,439 --> 01:38:59,519
Speaker 7: and just trying to find, you know, there's got to

1859
01:38:59,520 --> 01:39:02,599
Speaker 7: be some answers to why these things are happening. I

1860
01:39:02,640 --> 01:39:07,080
Speaker 7: was in a science contest across in the city and

1861
01:39:07,160 --> 01:39:09,599
Speaker 7: it was held at another school, of predominantly white school,

1862
01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:12,880
Speaker 7: probably in all white school. And when I went into

1863
01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:15,200
Speaker 7: their school and in their science lab, all of their

1864
01:39:15,240 --> 01:39:19,960
Speaker 7: burners worked, you know, they had new textbooks and the

1865
01:39:20,280 --> 01:39:22,879
Speaker 7: most modern microscopes and all of that, and we always

1866
01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:26,040
Speaker 7: had what seemed to be hand me downs, and and

1867
01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:29,800
Speaker 7: in my high school, Carls, This is a god honest truth.

1868
01:39:29,880 --> 01:39:32,759
Speaker 7: Every year of my high school, from freshmen to senior,

1869
01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:35,920
Speaker 7: when we would get our textbooks which were passed down,

1870
01:39:37,040 --> 01:39:39,839
Speaker 7: there was always at least one student in my class

1871
01:39:40,320 --> 01:39:43,120
Speaker 7: that saw either their parents' name in one of the

1872
01:39:43,200 --> 01:39:46,840
Speaker 7: textbooks or a distant relative in the textbooks. That's how

1873
01:39:47,360 --> 01:39:50,559
Speaker 7: much it had been passed down and used. And all

1874
01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:52,840
Speaker 7: of those things. I'm you know, I'm just saying something

1875
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:56,040
Speaker 7: not right with that, and something not right in the world,

1876
01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:58,559
Speaker 7: and all of these questions and things. I think it

1877
01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:03,760
Speaker 7: was just a search what Victor Frankel's book, search for Man,

1878
01:40:03,840 --> 01:40:07,599
Speaker 7: search for meaning. But I was just trying to search,

1879
01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:09,639
Speaker 7: you know, knowing, you know, growing up in the church

1880
01:40:09,680 --> 01:40:13,160
Speaker 7: tradition and hearing hearing preachers preats, trying not to pay

1881
01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:15,880
Speaker 7: attention to them. But I was still processing, I think,

1882
01:40:16,439 --> 01:40:19,519
Speaker 7: as just as a as a young man, and that

1883
01:40:19,680 --> 01:40:23,040
Speaker 7: processing just led me to like, there's got to be

1884
01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:28,000
Speaker 7: something more. And when I begin to lean into God

1885
01:40:28,080 --> 01:40:33,040
Speaker 7: and trusting him, and he gave me the ability to

1886
01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:35,920
Speaker 7: begin to change. And my change, I tell the young

1887
01:40:35,920 --> 01:40:41,519
Speaker 7: people wasn't instantaneous, because you know, I still went to

1888
01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:44,759
Speaker 7: a to a house party after I became a Christian,

1889
01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:49,080
Speaker 7: and I think like shortly after and I you know,

1890
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:51,160
Speaker 7: before I knew it, I was back to doing what

1891
01:40:51,240 --> 01:40:53,240
Speaker 7: I had always done. But it's kind of like I

1892
01:40:53,280 --> 01:40:56,599
Speaker 7: had forgotten that quick that I gave my heart to Christ.

1893
01:40:56,600 --> 01:40:59,040
Speaker 7: But you know, he was patient with me and and

1894
01:40:59,080 --> 01:41:02,200
Speaker 7: he loved me. In the different for instance that time afterwards,

1895
01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:06,400
Speaker 7: was that I was feeling sorry for what I was doing,

1896
01:41:06,479 --> 01:41:08,320
Speaker 7: and not just something in me knew that it wasn't

1897
01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:11,840
Speaker 7: right anymore, that I couldn't live a double life anymore,

1898
01:41:13,160 --> 01:41:16,160
Speaker 7: and I just begin to change and ask him to

1899
01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:19,320
Speaker 7: help you to change, and slowly he did. I can't pinpoint.

1900
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:21,920
Speaker 7: I can pinpoint the day I gave my life to Christ,

1901
01:41:21,920 --> 01:41:25,200
Speaker 7: September fifteenth, nineteen eighty five. But I can't pinpoint the

1902
01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:32,080
Speaker 7: last joint I smoked. I can't pinpoint the last bottle

1903
01:41:32,120 --> 01:41:36,120
Speaker 7: of Mad Dog twenty twenty that I drank. I can't

1904
01:41:36,160 --> 01:41:39,200
Speaker 7: pinpoint the last girl I slept with. But I just

1905
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:42,040
Speaker 7: know that as the old song, the things of the

1906
01:41:42,080 --> 01:41:45,680
Speaker 7: world begin to grow strangely dim as I begin to

1907
01:41:45,720 --> 01:41:46,519
Speaker 7: trust the Lord.

1908
01:41:47,920 --> 01:41:50,000
Speaker 1: Wow, what a story I'm thinking for share. I'm being

1909
01:41:50,040 --> 01:41:52,120
Speaker 1: so candid with us because again, you know, some of

1910
01:41:52,240 --> 01:41:55,120
Speaker 1: us have a steretical idea of what a black peature is.

1911
01:41:55,400 --> 01:41:58,720
Speaker 1: I think you guys, you know, we see you are

1912
01:41:58,800 --> 01:42:01,800
Speaker 1: that's all you will ever been. Yes, you're you're a

1913
01:42:01,880 --> 01:42:06,040
Speaker 1: choiet boy, a youth pastor, you have to pay the

1914
01:42:06,080 --> 01:42:08,280
Speaker 1: sun in school, you know, all that kind of stuff.

1915
01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:09,920
Speaker 1: But you you had a different kind of life because

1916
01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:13,400
Speaker 1: you could have been a gangster, but somehow, uh, you

1917
01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:15,040
Speaker 1: may have moved in the other way.

1918
01:42:15,120 --> 01:42:18,040
Speaker 3: So I'm I appreciate That's what I think.

1919
01:42:18,520 --> 01:42:21,160
Speaker 7: I you know, I think it's it's kind of an

1920
01:42:21,200 --> 01:42:25,160
Speaker 7: indictment upon the church and upon pastors where we just

1921
01:42:25,240 --> 01:42:28,280
Speaker 7: have to we have to be authentic and genuinely who

1922
01:42:28,280 --> 01:42:30,760
Speaker 7: we are, and we've got to tell our story in

1923
01:42:30,800 --> 01:42:35,160
Speaker 7: a way that this generation can hear us. I'm going

1924
01:42:35,200 --> 01:42:40,080
Speaker 7: into my twenty fifth year of pastoring here in Pasadena,

1925
01:42:40,720 --> 01:42:45,840
Speaker 7: and I remember Brother Carl twenty five years ago coming

1926
01:42:45,920 --> 01:42:48,080
Speaker 7: and come to a new area of the West Coast

1927
01:42:48,080 --> 01:42:50,160
Speaker 7: and all of this. And but I was asking the Lord,

1928
01:42:50,200 --> 01:42:55,040
Speaker 7: what's the best contribution I can make to my church's church.

1929
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:59,960
Speaker 7: I'm a young pastor, first time senior pastor. What contribution

1930
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:02,480
Speaker 7: and can I make them my church into my community?

1931
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:07,360
Speaker 7: And I just heard in my heart the voice of

1932
01:43:07,400 --> 01:43:10,200
Speaker 7: the Lord in my prayer time saying to me, be

1933
01:43:10,439 --> 01:43:14,400
Speaker 7: genuinely you. And that was kind of liberating because I

1934
01:43:14,439 --> 01:43:17,599
Speaker 7: was trying to again figure out how to be a pastor.

1935
01:43:17,600 --> 01:43:20,519
Speaker 7: Do I preach like Fred Price, walk around with the

1936
01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:23,559
Speaker 7: Bible and teach and never raise my voice, or do

1937
01:43:23,640 --> 01:43:27,800
Speaker 7: I take them off the runway and take them up

1938
01:43:27,840 --> 01:43:31,960
Speaker 7: into the clouds like Bishop Blake used to do and landed.

1939
01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:34,400
Speaker 7: You know, Bishop Blake could take off and land in

1940
01:43:34,439 --> 01:43:36,880
Speaker 7: about forty minutes. And that was amazing. It was all

1941
01:43:36,880 --> 01:43:40,280
Speaker 7: of these models. Rick Warren down in saddle back. He

1942
01:43:40,360 --> 01:43:44,360
Speaker 7: wore a Hawaiian shirt and had about twenty five thousand people.

1943
01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:46,920
Speaker 7: You know, I'm looking at all of these models. Who

1944
01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:49,600
Speaker 7: do I go after? And the Lord said, no, you

1945
01:43:49,680 --> 01:43:53,439
Speaker 7: be genuinely you. I was a youth pastor for many years,

1946
01:43:53,439 --> 01:43:57,200
Speaker 7: sixteen years before that, so I knew how to relate

1947
01:43:57,240 --> 01:43:57,639
Speaker 7: to youth.

1948
01:43:57,720 --> 01:43:57,880
Speaker 3: Well.

1949
01:43:57,880 --> 01:44:00,960
Speaker 7: I knew that just like with you, they didn't care

1950
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:03,000
Speaker 7: how much you know until they know how much you care.

1951
01:44:03,640 --> 01:44:07,200
Speaker 7: So I knew that that was a good formula. And

1952
01:44:07,560 --> 01:44:10,640
Speaker 7: I added that to my arsenal and in being a

1953
01:44:10,680 --> 01:44:13,760
Speaker 7: pastor and just and just telling people the truth, and

1954
01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:15,920
Speaker 7: and putting my laundry out there too. You know, we

1955
01:44:15,960 --> 01:44:18,920
Speaker 7: want everybody else to tell theirs and and and but

1956
01:44:18,920 --> 01:44:21,719
Speaker 7: but if we begin to tell where God brought us from,

1957
01:44:21,800 --> 01:44:24,479
Speaker 7: and the other piece house. I can get on this,

1958
01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:26,240
Speaker 7: I can go for a while on this. But the

1959
01:44:26,280 --> 01:44:30,080
Speaker 7: other piece, Brother Carl, is not letting people elevate you.

1960
01:44:30,920 --> 01:44:34,360
Speaker 7: I think that's a dangerous thing in the ministry when

1961
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:38,400
Speaker 7: we allow people to be our hype men and hype women,

1962
01:44:38,479 --> 01:44:41,120
Speaker 7: and and we're the best thing since slice bread and

1963
01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:44,559
Speaker 7: and and you know I'm not you know, I don't

1964
01:44:44,600 --> 01:44:47,559
Speaker 7: want to mock the church. Enough people do that, but

1965
01:44:48,080 --> 01:44:51,000
Speaker 7: you know, I call them the grand Pooba chairs, and

1966
01:44:51,360 --> 01:44:54,800
Speaker 7: the pastor has his own chalice, and everybody else drinks

1967
01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:57,799
Speaker 7: out of plastic bottles, and all of these kind of things.

1968
01:44:58,720 --> 01:45:01,599
Speaker 7: I just think sometime they take away from the real

1969
01:45:01,680 --> 01:45:06,720
Speaker 7: message and the real life examples that people need. I

1970
01:45:06,760 --> 01:45:10,639
Speaker 7: spent yesterday last last night, I was I was looking

1971
01:45:10,680 --> 01:45:12,080
Speaker 7: at my watch because it's like, man, I got to

1972
01:45:12,080 --> 01:45:14,880
Speaker 7: get up early. But I went to a senior night

1973
01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:19,240
Speaker 7: for for one of our senior girls who's a cheerleader.

1974
01:45:20,240 --> 01:45:23,360
Speaker 7: And then after that about watching half of the game

1975
01:45:23,439 --> 01:45:26,040
Speaker 7: and being there to take pictures for her senior night,

1976
01:45:26,160 --> 01:45:28,840
Speaker 7: I went over to another high school where another one

1977
01:45:28,880 --> 01:45:31,960
Speaker 7: of our young men was playing in a basketball game

1978
01:45:32,120 --> 01:45:36,880
Speaker 7: with with his with their city rivalry, and just showing up,

1979
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:39,640
Speaker 7: you know, showing up is half of the battle. And

1980
01:45:39,680 --> 01:45:41,960
Speaker 7: I'm being there for people. And then when you do that,

1981
01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:45,519
Speaker 7: that opens the door for authentic ministry and times of

1982
01:45:45,640 --> 01:45:49,280
Speaker 7: need and just people are more willing to walk with you,

1983
01:45:49,680 --> 01:45:52,000

Speaker 7: you know, give yourself that way in a genuine way.

1985

1997
01:46:28,320 --> 01:46:30,200
Speaker 1: With our guest, the fifty percent of the Faith Brothers

1998
01:46:30,200 --> 01:46:32,120
Speaker 1: past the Curring Manning, we're going to talk about Lent.

1999
01:46:32,479 --> 01:46:35,400
Speaker 1: That's that's coming up in I guess in about two weeks.

2000
01:46:35,520 --> 01:46:37,040
Speaker 1: But I got to ask you this question, Pastor corn

2001
01:46:37,040 --> 01:46:39,599
Speaker 1: because you were a young pastor and you you weren't

2002
01:46:40,080 --> 01:46:42,000
Speaker 1: you didn't go to the traditional route because you said

2003
01:46:42,080 --> 01:46:43,960
Speaker 1: you did what you did, but then you found you

2004
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:48,720
Speaker 1: found God, you found Jesus. When you're officiating because you're

2005
01:46:48,720 --> 01:46:50,840
Speaker 1: in LA so it's got to be some lot of

2006
01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:53,320
Speaker 1: gang bangers there you have to do, and you've probably

2007
01:46:53,320 --> 01:46:56,080
Speaker 1: done quite a bit of gang funerals. Is there a

2008
01:46:56,240 --> 01:46:58,840
Speaker 1: challenge in doing a funeral as a pastor for a

2009
01:46:59,040 --> 01:47:02,160
Speaker 1: for a gang banger than it is for somebody who's

2010
01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:04,519
Speaker 1: lived in full life? Is there a challenge for you

2011
01:47:04,680 --> 01:47:07,759
Speaker 1: to funeralize them?

2012
01:47:07,800 --> 01:47:09,320
Speaker 12: You know, that's a great question.

2013
01:47:09,479 --> 01:47:10,160
Speaker 3: I don't.

2014
01:47:10,240 --> 01:47:13,120
Speaker 7: I've never thought of it as a challenge. I've thought

2015
01:47:13,120 --> 01:47:15,880
Speaker 7: of it as an opportunity. And I have done a

2016
01:47:15,880 --> 01:47:18,240
Speaker 7: lot of them, almost kind of known as the gang

2017
01:47:18,960 --> 01:47:23,879
Speaker 7: funeral pastor. And that's just because you know, I remember

2018
01:47:23,960 --> 01:47:27,120
Speaker 7: several several years ago, one of the first police officer

2019
01:47:27,160 --> 01:47:30,000
Speaker 7: involved shootings, the first one that I got involved in,

2020
01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:33,519
Speaker 7: I had just begun. I was preaching at my church

2021
01:47:33,600 --> 01:47:36,840
Speaker 7: about how the church needs to be more concerned about

2022
01:47:36,840 --> 01:47:39,639
Speaker 7: the entire community, not just about when one of our

2023
01:47:39,720 --> 01:47:42,559
Speaker 7: loved ones die, right, and then we all come together

2024
01:47:42,640 --> 01:47:45,680
Speaker 7: and rally around someone or in our families. But I

2025
01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:49,559
Speaker 7: remember saying, we need to open the obituary every every

2026
01:47:49,600 --> 01:47:52,320
Speaker 7: every day, and when we see somebody who lost a

2027
01:47:52,400 --> 01:47:55,439
Speaker 7: loved one, find that person administered to them and all

2028
01:47:55,479 --> 01:47:57,760
Speaker 7: of those kind of things. And that was one of

2029
01:47:57,800 --> 01:48:00,600
Speaker 7: my ushers that took my word seriously, believe.

2030
01:48:00,320 --> 01:48:00,680
Speaker 8: It or not.

2031
01:48:00,800 --> 01:48:00,960
Speaker 6: Right.

2032
01:48:01,479 --> 01:48:04,200
Speaker 7: And there was a shooting on the corner of Washington

2033
01:48:04,200 --> 01:48:09,479
Speaker 7: and Mentone. Officers shot a young man eleven times, eight

2034
01:48:09,520 --> 01:48:11,479
Speaker 7: times in the back while he was on the ground.

2035
01:48:12,280 --> 01:48:14,559
Speaker 7: They said he had a gun. There was no gun,

2036
01:48:14,840 --> 01:48:16,760
Speaker 7: and the police were out in front of it, you know,

2037
01:48:17,160 --> 01:48:20,519
Speaker 7: putting their spin on it like they like, like it's

2038
01:48:20,560 --> 01:48:24,200
Speaker 7: done often times. But she called me and said, Pastor,

2039
01:48:24,280 --> 01:48:26,840
Speaker 7: these these young people out here, they don't know what

2040
01:48:26,880 --> 01:48:29,679
Speaker 7: to do. This This young man, Leroy Barnes was just shot.

2041
01:48:30,160 --> 01:48:32,840
Speaker 7: And I got to the field to the to the corner,

2042
01:48:32,880 --> 01:48:35,760
Speaker 7: which was a field where all of that they were

2043
01:48:35,760 --> 01:48:39,120
Speaker 7: all gathering all of this red. You know, Pasadena is

2044
01:48:39,160 --> 01:48:41,200
Speaker 7: a PDL, so he got a lot of red. That's

2045
01:48:41,240 --> 01:48:45,320
Speaker 7: the bloods. This gang impacted youth. I don't know if

2046
01:48:45,320 --> 01:48:47,280
Speaker 7: they were all in gangs, but you know that my

2047
01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:50,240
Speaker 7: first introduction, it seemed like they that that was kind

2048
01:48:50,280 --> 01:48:52,840
Speaker 7: of the theme. And they were just walking around, some

2049
01:48:52,880 --> 01:48:55,000
Speaker 7: of them with Kurt. They were so angry that police

2050
01:48:55,040 --> 01:48:57,360
Speaker 7: were a couple of streets over. They didn't want to

2051
01:48:57,360 --> 01:48:59,960
Speaker 7: start anything. Else because they knew that the community was

2052
01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:03,240
Speaker 7: in an uproar. But I saw these young people in

2053
01:49:03,280 --> 01:49:05,880
Speaker 7: the field, like not knowing what to do, and it

2054
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:08,639
Speaker 7: immediately came to my mind the image of the scripture

2055
01:49:08,680 --> 01:49:11,280
Speaker 7: that says Jesus went through the towns and villages preaching,

2056
01:49:11,600 --> 01:49:13,439
Speaker 7: and it says and when he looked upon the people,

2057
01:49:13,520 --> 01:49:18,200
Speaker 7: he saw them helpless and harassed, like sheep without a shepherd.

2058
01:49:18,680 --> 01:49:20,720
Speaker 7: And that's the image that I got when I saw

2059
01:49:20,760 --> 01:49:24,280
Speaker 7: these young people just in this field, and I didn't

2060
01:49:24,280 --> 01:49:26,000
Speaker 7: know what to do. I didn't come from a gang culture,

2061
01:49:26,040 --> 01:49:29,160
Speaker 7: but I just in that moment, I just said, you know,

2062
01:49:29,200 --> 01:49:31,920
Speaker 7: I'm praying. Of course, Lord help me, didn't I just said,

2063
01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:33,240
Speaker 7: did anybody pray yet?

2064
01:49:33,400 --> 01:49:33,479
Speaker 12: No?

2065
01:49:33,680 --> 01:49:35,840
Speaker 7: I said, It was like, no, we didn't. They take

2066
01:49:35,880 --> 01:49:38,120
Speaker 7: a hand. I just started, grab a hand, grab a hand,

2067
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:40,439
Speaker 7: grin and before you know it, there's a big circle

2068
01:49:40,520 --> 01:49:43,360
Speaker 7: in this field, and I just let everybody in the

2069
01:49:43,439 --> 01:49:45,439
Speaker 7: prayer and I said, Lord, we don't know what to do,

2070
01:49:45,479 --> 01:49:47,880
Speaker 7: we don't know what's going on, and we don't need

2071
01:49:47,960 --> 01:49:55,160
Speaker 7: this type of abuse and brutality whatever. I prayed. And

2072
01:49:55,640 --> 01:49:58,800
Speaker 7: then after that, shortly after that, the family asked me

2073
01:49:58,880 --> 01:50:02,040
Speaker 7: to officiate the fear. Then I'm out in front of

2074
01:50:02,080 --> 01:50:05,160
Speaker 7: the news and all of these kinds of things. But

2075
01:50:05,240 --> 01:50:09,000
Speaker 7: that's how it started. So and every time, Carl, it's

2076
01:50:09,040 --> 01:50:13,720
Speaker 7: a privilege because you're helping someone in their time of

2077
01:50:13,880 --> 01:50:16,680
Speaker 7: loss and grief. I was just at these games I

2078
01:50:16,720 --> 01:50:20,800
Speaker 7: told you about last night, the person I came to see,

2079
01:50:20,840 --> 01:50:23,000
Speaker 7: the young man his parents like, you know, are you

2080
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:26,240
Speaker 7: a celebrity? Because everybody was stopping me And I'm hugging people,

2081
01:50:26,280 --> 01:50:30,599
Speaker 7: Hey pastor, Hey pastor. And I know most of them

2082
01:50:30,600 --> 01:50:34,000
Speaker 7: from the community, from serving them at a time of loss,

2083
01:50:34,880 --> 01:50:38,280
Speaker 7: because every one of them is a child of God

2084
01:50:38,320 --> 01:50:41,760
Speaker 7: and he loves them. And the Bible says in saw

2085
01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:44,679
Speaker 7: I'm One sixteen fifteen that the Lord cares deeply when

2086
01:50:44,680 --> 01:50:48,760
Speaker 7: his loved ones die, and everybody on this earth is

2087
01:50:48,800 --> 01:50:51,439
Speaker 7: a loved one of the Lord, so we have to

2088
01:50:51,520 --> 01:50:54,160
Speaker 7: care for everyone the same way. I feel sad. This

2089
01:50:54,200 --> 01:50:56,320
Speaker 7: is the last thing I'll say, because I'm answering long

2090
01:50:56,439 --> 01:50:59,000
Speaker 7: kind of But the sadness I feel that these types

2091
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:01,280
Speaker 7: of funerals is because and I say to them, my

2092
01:51:01,680 --> 01:51:04,479
Speaker 7: friends from the streets, I say, what breaks my heart

2093
01:51:04,560 --> 01:51:07,519
Speaker 7: is that we only see each other at these types

2094
01:51:07,560 --> 01:51:12,640
Speaker 7: of funerals, which tells me that you only know the God.

2095
01:51:12,360 --> 01:51:13,160
Speaker 12: Of the funeral.

2096
01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:17,000
Speaker 7: So if their experience with God is only in a

2097
01:51:17,080 --> 01:51:21,679
Speaker 7: funeral setting, it's sadness. It's it's not understanding what has happened,

2098
01:51:21,720 --> 01:51:24,879
Speaker 7: because they'll come and put a forty ounce in the casket,

2099
01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:27,679
Speaker 7: or they'll all deck themselves out in red and blue

2100
01:51:27,720 --> 01:51:31,400
Speaker 7: and decorate the caskets and all of that, and then

2101
01:51:31,439 --> 01:51:34,040
Speaker 7: they'll get, you know, as high as a cais. And

2102
01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:37,160
Speaker 7: I say, don't use your loved one's death to give

2103
01:51:37,160 --> 01:51:42,080
Speaker 7: you an excuse to just wild out. No, it's an

2104
01:51:42,080 --> 01:51:46,360
Speaker 7: opportunity to sober ourselves and realize that we've got to

2105
01:51:46,400 --> 01:51:51,280
Speaker 7: be prepared to die, because there is there is an

2106
01:51:51,360 --> 01:51:55,080
Speaker 7: eternity that awaits everybody. According to the Gospel of John,

2107
01:51:55,680 --> 01:51:59,160
Speaker 7: some will rise to eternal life and others will rise

2108
01:51:59,200 --> 01:52:01,920
Speaker 7: to eternal dowmn there. So I tell them, look, heaven

2109
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:04,800
Speaker 7: isn't Heaven isn't what they show us on TV. And

2110
01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:08,080
Speaker 7: hell isn't either. The devil is not in a red

2111
01:52:08,520 --> 01:52:11,040
Speaker 7: three piece sus with a pitchfork and a six pack

2112
01:52:11,040 --> 01:52:15,000
Speaker 7: of co forty five and and all of these kinds

2113
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:18,080
Speaker 7: of things. But we've got to be prepared for how

2114
01:52:18,080 --> 01:52:21,120
Speaker 7: we're going to spend eternity. So it's it's an honor

2115
01:52:21,360 --> 01:52:25,160
Speaker 7: I can. I consider it an extreme privilege to walk

2116
01:52:25,200 --> 01:52:28,200
Speaker 7: with the family and their time of grief. It breaks

2117
01:52:28,200 --> 01:52:31,880
Speaker 7: my heart. It gives me more passion to live right

2118
01:52:32,040 --> 01:52:35,400
Speaker 7: and to model integrity in the community because I know

2119
01:52:35,680 --> 01:52:40,640
Speaker 7: people are watching my life and then it and then it,

2120
01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:44,240
Speaker 7: and it helps me to keep the main thing, the

2121
01:52:44,320 --> 01:52:48,120
Speaker 7: main thing right. It's it's souls for the kingdom. I

2122
01:52:48,120 --> 01:52:50,600
Speaker 7: don't want anybody, as the scripture said, it's not the

2123
01:52:50,600 --> 01:52:53,400
Speaker 7: Lord's will that anyone would perish. I don't want anybody

2124
01:52:53,439 --> 01:52:55,479
Speaker 7: to go to hell. But I want them to know

2125
01:52:55,560 --> 01:52:57,920
Speaker 7: a loving savior who gave his life for them so

2126
01:52:57,960 --> 01:53:00,720
Speaker 7: that we could have life right here on earth and

2127
01:53:01,080 --> 01:53:02,720
Speaker 7: eternally with him.

2128
01:53:03,240 --> 01:53:05,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but at the same time, do you recognize that

2129
01:53:05,080 --> 01:53:08,000
Speaker 1: they're watching you. They want to see you stumble, They

2130
01:53:08,040 --> 01:53:09,720
Speaker 1: want to see you go hit a joint, or hear

2131
01:53:09,760 --> 01:53:14,559
Speaker 1: that you're found in some uncompromising position with some female

2132
01:53:14,560 --> 01:53:17,200
Speaker 1: it's not your wife, or you know, or you curse

2133
01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:20,160
Speaker 1: somebody out, or you know, use use language that you

2134
01:53:20,160 --> 01:53:23,280
Speaker 1: shouldn't use. Is that a sort of pressure or you

2135
01:53:23,439 --> 01:53:25,080
Speaker 1: just or you're just impervious to all of that.

2136
01:53:26,120 --> 01:53:28,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, well it's not a pressure. I'm not doing it

2137
01:53:28,120 --> 01:53:31,400
Speaker 7: for them. I'm doing it to please the Lord. You know,

2138
01:53:31,560 --> 01:53:33,559
Speaker 7: at the end of at the end of my journey,

2139
01:53:33,600 --> 01:53:36,679
Speaker 7: I want to hear him say to me, well done,

2140
01:53:37,000 --> 01:53:42,400
Speaker 7: thou good and faithful servant. So so my my my

2141
01:53:42,560 --> 01:53:45,640
Speaker 7: life and how I live my life. I wanted to

2142
01:53:45,680 --> 01:53:48,840
Speaker 7: be consistent with the scripture and with God's what He's

2143
01:53:48,880 --> 01:53:52,080
Speaker 7: given the everything He's given me to live. The scripture says,

2144
01:53:52,120 --> 01:53:55,240
Speaker 7: God has given us everything to live a godly life,

2145
01:53:55,320 --> 01:53:57,680
Speaker 7: to live for Him. So He's given us what we

2146
01:53:57,840 --> 01:54:01,400
Speaker 7: what we need. So I'm doing that for self, But

2147
01:54:01,479 --> 01:54:05,519
Speaker 7: I am aware that people are watching as they should

2148
01:54:06,320 --> 01:54:09,800
Speaker 7: and leaders ought to be as the Scripture says above reproach.

2149
01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:11,320
Speaker 7: That's why you know, I'm kind of hired on my

2150
01:54:11,360 --> 01:54:15,040
Speaker 7: brothers and sisters on the cloth, because that's an expectation

2151
01:54:15,160 --> 01:54:19,320
Speaker 7: if you're going to carry this responsibility of shepherding people,

2152
01:54:20,280 --> 01:54:24,439
Speaker 7: and that includes a community. So we ought to be

2153
01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:28,760
Speaker 7: the same person at two am in the morning on

2154
01:54:28,800 --> 01:54:32,840
Speaker 7: a Saturday night as we are at eleven am in

2155
01:54:32,920 --> 01:54:35,880
Speaker 7: the pulpit on a Sunday morning. And if there's any

2156
01:54:35,880 --> 01:54:38,800
Speaker 7: inconsistency in our life and in our walk. We've got

2157
01:54:38,840 --> 01:54:43,320
Speaker 7: to reconcile that with our creator, with the Lord, and

2158
01:54:43,360 --> 01:54:45,920
Speaker 7: then we've got to change. We've just got to We've

2159
01:54:45,960 --> 01:54:48,280
Speaker 7: got to change it. Like I said, I haven't been perfect,

2160
01:54:49,440 --> 01:54:53,040
Speaker 7: but I do understand my assignment. I do know that

2161
01:54:53,160 --> 01:54:55,960
Speaker 7: people are watching him. In my twenty fifth year here,

2162
01:54:56,200 --> 01:55:00,480
Speaker 7: in thirty five years in full time pastoral ministry, Brother Carl,

2163
01:55:00,920 --> 01:55:04,640
Speaker 7: I've had people say things like, oh, Pastor, you know

2164
01:55:04,920 --> 01:55:07,240
Speaker 7: I was doing this and that, but I remember you said,

2165
01:55:07,520 --> 01:55:11,040
Speaker 7: I mean something I said fifteen years ago that really

2166
01:55:11,200 --> 01:55:13,920
Speaker 7: was a turning point in their lives. Or I saw

2167
01:55:13,960 --> 01:55:16,600
Speaker 7: you that. One of my deacons to this day, she

2168
01:55:17,120 --> 01:55:19,720
Speaker 7: joined the church years ago. She said, I saw you

2169
01:55:20,400 --> 01:55:23,120
Speaker 7: in a shirt and tie, hop out of your car

2170
01:55:23,600 --> 01:55:27,200
Speaker 7: and help push somebody into the gas station. And when

2171
01:55:27,240 --> 01:55:29,280
Speaker 7: I saw you do that, I was like, you know what,

2172
01:55:29,760 --> 01:55:33,040
Speaker 7: I can follow this man, he's living it. So things

2173
01:55:33,080 --> 01:55:35,320
Speaker 7: like that that, you know, I wasn't aware let me

2174
01:55:35,400 --> 01:55:37,800
Speaker 7: jump out of this car. It might be somebody here

2175
01:55:37,840 --> 01:55:40,080
Speaker 7: who would join my church if they saw me helping

2176
01:55:40,120 --> 01:55:43,240
Speaker 7: somebody else. No, I did it, Brother Carl, because I've

2177
01:55:43,280 --> 01:55:48,040
Speaker 7: been stranded before. I've been stranded and didn't have anybody

2178
01:55:48,080 --> 01:55:51,040
Speaker 7: to help or tried to push myself. And I understand

2179
01:55:51,040 --> 01:55:54,000
Speaker 7: that we all need help, we all need a push.

2180
01:55:54,320 --> 01:55:57,160
Speaker 7: So that's the motivation for me. It's not trying to

2181
01:55:57,880 --> 01:56:01,240
Speaker 7: be something that I'm not to anybody, or being aware

2182
01:56:01,240 --> 01:56:04,120
Speaker 7: that everybody's watching, which I know that's true, but I

2183
01:56:04,120 --> 01:56:06,720
Speaker 7: don't focus on that. I'm trying to I'm trying to

2184
01:56:06,760 --> 01:56:09,839
Speaker 7: live my life in a way that please. The scripture

2185
01:56:09,840 --> 01:56:13,080
Speaker 7: says find out what pleases the Lord, and one of

2186
01:56:13,080 --> 01:56:18,000
Speaker 7: the things that I believe what pleases him is doing

2187
01:56:18,040 --> 01:56:20,560
Speaker 7: his will and being obedient. You know, you can have

2188
01:56:20,600 --> 01:56:22,560
Speaker 7: a child the scripture. You can have a child out

2189
01:56:22,560 --> 01:56:24,440
Speaker 7: of if you got two children, one of them says

2190
01:56:24,520 --> 01:56:26,600
Speaker 7: yes sir, yes ma'am and then doesn't do what you

2191
01:56:26,680 --> 01:56:29,520
Speaker 7: tell them to do, and then the other one doesn't

2192
01:56:29,520 --> 01:56:31,840
Speaker 7: say much, but they actually do what you tell them

2193
01:56:31,840 --> 01:56:36,160
Speaker 7: to do. Well, that child is the one that will

2194
01:56:36,200 --> 01:56:38,760
Speaker 7: bring more joy to the father's heart because they're doing

2195
01:56:38,800 --> 01:56:40,200
Speaker 7: what he told you to do.

2196
01:56:42,400 --> 01:56:44,360
Speaker 1: Wow, thank you for sharing those stories with us, you know,

2197
01:56:44,360 --> 01:56:47,560
Speaker 1: because he's talk about Lent and hopefully we get tens

2198
01:56:47,600 --> 01:56:49,200
Speaker 1: to talk about Lentin. That's coming up in a couple

2199
01:56:49,240 --> 01:56:52,920
Speaker 1: of weeks for Christians. But Sean and Jersey has a

2200
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:55,520
Speaker 1: question for you. He's online one Grand Rising showing you

2201
01:56:55,600 --> 01:56:56,800
Speaker 1: on the past of money.

2202
01:56:58,920 --> 01:57:03,080
Speaker 3: Morning. Yes, let me ask you.

2203
01:57:03,240 --> 01:57:05,440
Speaker 11: Let me ask you a question. I'm sorry that your

2204
01:57:05,560 --> 01:57:07,680
Speaker 11: partner is not because I want to ask both of y'all.

2205
01:57:07,880 --> 01:57:11,680
Speaker 11: First of all, do you think without religion this would

2206
01:57:11,720 --> 01:57:14,720
Speaker 11: be a safer world?

2207
01:57:15,760 --> 01:57:15,960
Speaker 10: Call?

2208
01:57:16,040 --> 01:57:18,440
Speaker 11: I got like three questions for him to work with me.

2209
01:57:18,520 --> 01:57:22,560
Speaker 1: Call all right, Well, ask all three and he'll respond

2210
01:57:22,560 --> 01:57:22,800
Speaker 1: to him.

2211
01:57:24,480 --> 01:57:27,520
Speaker 11: They come off of how he answers one question, and

2212
01:57:27,560 --> 01:57:30,120
Speaker 11: that's the problem. I want to have a nice little

2213
01:57:30,160 --> 01:57:33,200
Speaker 11: conversation with him because he's a religious man.

2214
01:57:33,520 --> 01:57:35,040
Speaker 3: You had you talk about games.

2215
01:57:35,240 --> 01:57:38,440
Speaker 1: That's the question. Because we're racing the clock, you kicking.

2216
01:57:38,840 --> 01:57:40,720
Speaker 7: Let me just let me just say this, brother Sean,

2217
01:57:40,800 --> 01:57:43,840
Speaker 7: Maybe this will help you me.

2218
01:57:45,280 --> 01:57:45,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I.

2219
01:57:47,560 --> 01:57:47,760
Speaker 9: Know what.

2220
01:57:51,440 --> 01:57:54,240
Speaker 7: I mean that that will give you, you know, direction

2221
01:57:54,320 --> 01:57:57,760
Speaker 7: as to what to ask me next. Right when you

2222
01:57:57,840 --> 01:58:00,000
Speaker 7: say religious man, I never claimed to be a really

2223
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:04,320
Speaker 7: religious man. Religion, from Jesus's definition, is taking care of

2224
01:58:04,360 --> 01:58:07,480
Speaker 7: widows and orphans and doing what's right in that sense.

2225
01:58:07,920 --> 01:58:09,000
Speaker 7: I do aim for that.

2226
01:58:09,520 --> 01:58:15,040
Speaker 11: But my children people are over the embalming widows and orphans.

2227
01:58:15,760 --> 01:58:19,000
Speaker 7: Right, So that's not that's not that's not true religion.

2228
01:58:19,440 --> 01:58:22,400
Speaker 7: My goal in my life, as I was saying, is

2229
01:58:22,440 --> 01:58:27,120
Speaker 7: not so much religion, but relationships. My relationship with with

2230
01:58:27,720 --> 01:58:31,360
Speaker 7: my heavenly Father the only one that I strive to please,

2231
01:58:31,440 --> 01:58:35,880
Speaker 7: and it's relationship with humanity, with my neighbor. Right, Jesus said,

2232
01:58:36,440 --> 01:58:38,320
Speaker 7: there's two things that we got to do. Love the

2233
01:58:38,360 --> 01:58:40,760
Speaker 7: Lord with all your mind, heart, soul and strength. And

2234
01:58:40,800 --> 01:58:43,440
Speaker 7: love your neighbor as yourself. When that's not fleshed out,

2235
01:58:43,480 --> 01:58:46,680
Speaker 7: whether it's in our own personal lives or or in

2236
01:58:46,720 --> 01:58:50,760
Speaker 7: our world, our our other neighbors around this globe, then

2237
01:58:50,760 --> 01:58:53,800
Speaker 7: I've got a problem with that. That's not the ultimate

2238
01:58:53,880 --> 01:58:58,280
Speaker 7: display of anything that will lead to people's redemptions. And

2239
01:58:58,320 --> 01:58:59,440
Speaker 7: I reject that notion.

2240
01:59:01,040 --> 01:59:04,400
Speaker 11: Okay, So you so you believe that we are okay

2241
01:59:04,440 --> 01:59:06,920
Speaker 11: with religion in the world. You're talking about cripping blood.

2242
01:59:06,920 --> 01:59:09,800
Speaker 11: That's what's going on over there, cripping blood. So if

2243
01:59:10,200 --> 01:59:13,360
Speaker 11: you so you think religion is okay in the world, See,

2244
01:59:13,400 --> 01:59:16,600
Speaker 11: I think we'll be safer if there was no religion,

2245
01:59:16,640 --> 01:59:18,760
Speaker 11: and there was no religion in this country, we could

2246
01:59:18,800 --> 01:59:21,000
Speaker 11: shift them off to another country somewhere.

2247
01:59:21,520 --> 01:59:23,640
Speaker 3: If there was no religion in this country, we will

2248
01:59:23,680 --> 01:59:25,160
Speaker 3: be a lot safer.

2249
01:59:25,480 --> 01:59:29,640
Speaker 7: Everybody I've met, I gave you my definition of religion.

2250
01:59:29,640 --> 01:59:31,240
Speaker 7: I guess I would need to know what you're deaf

2251
01:59:31,400 --> 01:59:33,880
Speaker 7: because you just said I said it would be okay

2252
01:59:33,880 --> 01:59:36,400
Speaker 7: for religion in the world. I didn't say that. I said,

2253
01:59:36,400 --> 01:59:41,520
Speaker 7: if religion was the true definition of religion, that's that's biblical,

2254
01:59:42,480 --> 01:59:47,120
Speaker 7: does not go against I believe what you're really actually saying.

2255
01:59:47,760 --> 01:59:49,480
Speaker 7: So I didn't say it's okay.

2256
01:59:49,400 --> 01:59:52,000
Speaker 11: That comes from the Bible, because everybody don't practice that.

2257
01:59:53,000 --> 01:59:53,680
Speaker 7: No, they don't.

2258
01:59:53,760 --> 01:59:56,080
Speaker 3: That's right over that's the start of the Bible. You

2259
01:59:56,200 --> 01:59:58,200
Speaker 3: got Buddhists over there killing people.

2260
01:59:58,280 --> 02:00:02,480
Speaker 11: What's that over there? In minimal so they don't practice

2261
02:00:02,520 --> 02:00:03,160
Speaker 11: what comes.

2262
02:00:02,920 --> 02:00:03,720
Speaker 3: Out of the Bible.

2263
02:00:04,640 --> 02:00:07,360
Speaker 11: I don't Spride was yelling about time. I'm gonna just

2264
02:00:07,400 --> 02:00:10,360
Speaker 11: say this and go since car yelling about time is

2265
02:00:11,480 --> 02:00:13,480
Speaker 11: I think we'd be a lot safe. As I said before,

2266
02:00:13,840 --> 02:00:18,360
Speaker 11: if there was nobody practice practice anything that they call

2267
02:00:18,760 --> 02:00:22,400
Speaker 11: religion religion in this world, we will be a lot safer.

2268
02:00:22,600 --> 02:00:25,320
Speaker 3: And for the for the.

2269
02:00:25,120 --> 02:00:27,960
Speaker 11: People in this country not to speak out against seventy

2270
02:00:28,000 --> 02:00:31,840
Speaker 11: thousand what I just read, mostly women and children.

2271
02:00:31,560 --> 02:00:33,760
Speaker 3: Dying over there. See, I don't pick a side.

2272
02:00:33,760 --> 02:00:35,840
Speaker 11: I grew up in New York and both treated me

2273
02:00:36,000 --> 02:00:39,080
Speaker 11: and my family terrible, the Arabs and the Jews. But

2274
02:00:39,200 --> 02:00:42,320
Speaker 11: when I look at the situation, I go, you're out man.

2275
02:00:42,440 --> 02:00:45,440
Speaker 11: After a while you go, no mars, no more, no

2276
02:00:45,600 --> 02:00:49,120
Speaker 11: more that. Even just as a human, I say, well,

2277
02:00:49,240 --> 02:00:52,360
Speaker 11: damn you. You don't got your foot on it neck.

2278
02:00:52,440 --> 02:00:54,440
Speaker 11: Take the foot off your neck. Guess that's somebody like

2279
02:00:54,480 --> 02:00:57,920
Speaker 11: myself who's only violent when I have to be even me.

2280
02:00:58,280 --> 02:01:00,760
Speaker 11: It's saying who grew up in the eighties in nineties,

2281
02:01:00,760 --> 02:01:03,360
Speaker 11: and you know how violent that was, even me who

2282
02:01:03,360 --> 02:01:06,400
Speaker 11: grew up around now, I said, seventy thousand women and children.

2283
02:01:06,480 --> 02:01:09,680
Speaker 11: No one's speaking out against it, including you. I'll speak

2284
02:01:09,680 --> 02:01:12,400
Speaker 11: out against this that type of starn't camp out, no immigration,

2285
02:01:12,520 --> 02:01:15,040
Speaker 11: no immigration, rage suit. I'm back and forth. I can't

2286
02:01:15,040 --> 02:01:17,720
Speaker 11: care about that. But I do look at a situation.

2287
02:01:17,840 --> 02:01:21,080
Speaker 11: Even though I say I don't have a sign, when

2288
02:01:21,080 --> 02:01:21,360
Speaker 11: are you?

2289
02:01:21,520 --> 02:01:24,640
Speaker 7: When I beg you, brother John, I don't know. I

2290
02:01:24,720 --> 02:01:26,800
Speaker 7: know we haven't spoken a lot, but I do care

2291
02:01:26,840 --> 02:01:29,360
Speaker 7: about the innocent killing of women and trildren. And I

2292
02:01:29,360 --> 02:01:29,920
Speaker 7: never said that.

2293
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:30,480
Speaker 12: I didn't.

2294
02:01:30,800 --> 02:01:32,680
Speaker 7: I really do it breaks my heart, and I preach

2295
02:01:32,760 --> 02:01:36,040
Speaker 7: about it. I preach about it from the pulpit, and

2296
02:01:36,120 --> 02:01:40,160
Speaker 7: I also mobilize my community to make sure that we

2297
02:01:40,400 --> 02:01:43,080
Speaker 7: our voice is being heard for those who can't speak

2298
02:01:43,120 --> 02:01:46,240
Speaker 7: for themselves. According to Proverbs thirty one eight and nine,

2299
02:01:46,640 --> 02:01:48,680
Speaker 7: who says, speak up for those who can't speak for

2300
02:01:48,720 --> 02:01:51,760
Speaker 7: themselves and ensure that they get justice. And I do

2301
02:01:51,880 --> 02:01:55,520
Speaker 7: believe that's the responsibility of all of us. So I

2302
02:01:55,560 --> 02:01:56,520
Speaker 7: really i'ma go on.

2303
02:01:56,640 --> 02:01:59,120
Speaker 11: I'm gonna go on this. Just please, when y'all talk

2304
02:01:59,280 --> 02:02:03,200
Speaker 11: clipping blood, just talk about it in a state same way,

2305
02:02:03,440 --> 02:02:07,200
Speaker 11: mean and nasty and against it, and talk about non violence.

2306
02:02:07,240 --> 02:02:09,720
Speaker 11: A call had people only took about non balance non

2307
02:02:09,800 --> 02:02:11,920
Speaker 11: violence now. But I'm believe in violence if you act

2308
02:02:12,360 --> 02:02:15,000
Speaker 11: like I said, but look at what's going on over there.

2309
02:02:15,200 --> 02:02:16,200
Speaker 3: If you're not gonna.

2310
02:02:15,960 --> 02:02:17,800
Speaker 11: Speak about what's going on over there, I don't want

2311
02:02:17,800 --> 02:02:18,800
Speaker 11: to hear about cripon blood.

2312
02:02:18,840 --> 02:02:19,520
Speaker 3: Have a good date.

2313
02:02:20,600 --> 02:02:24,000

Speaker 1: junior son Mark Fuller will also check in as well.

2328
02:02:55,720 --> 02:02:57,240
Speaker 1: So if you are in Baltimore, make sure you keep

2329
02:02:57,280 --> 02:03:00,160
Speaker 1: your radio locked in tight on ten ten WLB. If

2330
02:03:00,280 --> 02:03:03,840
Speaker 1: in the GMV, we're on fourteen fifty w L. All right,

2331
02:03:03,840 --> 02:03:06,120
Speaker 1: Pastor Manning, I know you want to respond to what

2332
02:03:06,240 --> 02:03:06,520
Speaker 1: we hear.

2333
02:03:06,840 --> 02:03:11,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, I appreciate. I appreciate the caller, and I'm not

2334
02:03:11,840 --> 02:03:15,120
Speaker 7: claiming this is his opinion, but I just the way

2335
02:03:15,160 --> 02:03:19,120
Speaker 7: I'm I was hearing him. I believe, like like Sean's

2336
02:03:19,680 --> 02:03:24,560
Speaker 7: original question and the following statements, many people have trouble

2337
02:03:24,640 --> 02:03:29,920
Speaker 7: reconciling what's happening in the world and the Christians response

2338
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:34,280
Speaker 7: to it. Right. I heard one person call it selective

2339
02:03:34,360 --> 02:03:39,920
Speaker 7: outrage and to say that just we took religion out,

2340
02:03:40,080 --> 02:03:41,960
Speaker 7: would that be the answer. I would just ask what

2341
02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:45,280
Speaker 7: would be your your personal solution, because we all have

2342
02:03:45,520 --> 02:03:47,880
Speaker 7: you know, and and and I take a little issue too.

2343
02:03:48,960 --> 02:03:54,120
Speaker 7: I wasn't relegating my my my passion or ministry the

2344
02:03:54,200 --> 02:03:56,680
Speaker 7: crypts and bloods, no, you. I was responding to a

2345
02:03:56,760 --> 02:04:00,760
Speaker 7: question that you asked me directly about doing gang funerals.

2346
02:04:00,760 --> 02:04:04,080
Speaker 7: And I've done funerals for both. But a lot of

2347
02:04:04,120 --> 02:04:07,440
Speaker 7: the outrage that sounded like from my brother was it

2348
02:04:07,560 --> 02:04:11,480
Speaker 7: was about what's happening over I don't know, God's in Israel.

2349
02:04:11,880 --> 02:04:15,400
Speaker 7: And then I just thought, wow, it's interesting that he

2350
02:04:15,440 --> 02:04:18,840
Speaker 7: didn't mention the Sudanese civil war that's happening right now,

2351
02:04:20,880 --> 02:04:23,920
Speaker 7: or or or the things that have happened in northern

2352
02:04:24,000 --> 02:04:29,640
Speaker 7: Nigeria that that doesn't get the press, where you know,

2353
02:04:29,760 --> 02:04:33,960
Speaker 7: people are being killed and and and and being displaced

2354
02:04:34,120 --> 02:04:37,120
Speaker 7: million twelve million, I think in Sudanese civil war over

2355
02:04:37,160 --> 02:04:41,080
Speaker 7: twelve million people displaced because of war, but but nothing's

2356
02:04:41,120 --> 02:04:44,720
Speaker 7: mentioned there. So everybody can choose something. I'm just saying,

2357
02:04:44,760 --> 02:04:49,440
Speaker 7: whatever you choose, whatever whatever grabs your heart, do with

2358
02:04:49,480 --> 02:04:52,840
Speaker 7: the fullness of your heart, doing with passion, and strive

2359
02:04:52,960 --> 02:04:57,240
Speaker 7: to make a difference as opposed to you know, talk

2360
02:04:57,320 --> 02:05:01,080
Speaker 7: about it, but but be about it. And I applaud

2361
02:05:01,160 --> 02:05:06,240
Speaker 7: any effort towards that, towards you know, bringing peace or

2362
02:05:06,280 --> 02:05:07,280
Speaker 7: being agent of peace.

2363
02:05:07,840 --> 02:05:08,400
Speaker 3: I don't.

2364
02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:12,680
Speaker 7: I choose not to respond with violence. I don't respond

2365
02:05:13,680 --> 02:05:17,160
Speaker 7: to violence with violence. That's just a choice that I've made.

2366
02:05:17,200 --> 02:05:19,920
Speaker 7: You can talk about me for doing that. But I

2367
02:05:20,440 --> 02:05:25,880
Speaker 7: believe that I've been very successful in being able to

2368
02:05:25,920 --> 02:05:32,360
Speaker 7: reach a community devastated by a fire, devastated by police brutality,

2369
02:05:32,400 --> 02:05:35,360
Speaker 7: and to make a difference in this small portion of

2370
02:05:35,400 --> 02:05:38,000
Speaker 7: the world that I believe the Lord's called me to.

2371
02:05:38,200 --> 02:05:41,480
Speaker 7: So I just encourage other people to do the same.

2372
02:05:42,320 --> 02:05:44,760
Speaker 1: All right, all right, sixteen away from the topee reason,

2373
02:05:44,760 --> 02:05:46,320
Speaker 1: what we're going to tell you I was Lent, because

2374
02:05:46,400 --> 02:05:48,720
Speaker 1: that's the holiday or is it a holiday? I'll let

2375
02:05:48,720 --> 02:05:51,640
Speaker 1: you explain what Lent is. The family coming up in

2376
02:05:51,640 --> 02:05:55,360
Speaker 1: two weeks and also Ramadana at the same time for

2377
02:05:55,720 --> 02:05:59,920
Speaker 1: our friends who celebrate or into Islam. So past the

2378
02:06:00,040 --> 02:06:03,280
Speaker 1: coming around, what is lent. And because you're whatre, I

2379
02:06:03,280 --> 02:06:07,440
Speaker 1: hear about Lynn, I think about connivalent, you know, because partying,

2380
02:06:07,480 --> 02:06:11,480
Speaker 1: and then everybody gets religious after the big party. So

2381
02:06:11,680 --> 02:06:13,560
Speaker 1: explain to us what is Lynn? How did that come about?

2382
02:06:13,640 --> 02:06:14,280
Speaker 1: Is it biblical?

2383
02:06:15,360 --> 02:06:21,920
Speaker 7: Well, well, lent, the phrase lent and what we really

2384
02:06:21,960 --> 02:06:24,640
Speaker 7: referred to as lent is not is not biblical, is

2385
02:06:24,680 --> 02:06:28,839
Speaker 7: not mentioned in the Bible at all. The the word

2386
02:06:30,720 --> 02:06:34,520
Speaker 7: is a is an Anglo Saxon word that means spring.

2387
02:06:36,160 --> 02:06:41,040
Speaker 7: But it has become known in the in the Christian

2388
02:06:41,080 --> 02:06:45,120
Speaker 7: world around the fourth century, I believe when it was

2389
02:06:45,200 --> 02:06:52,680
Speaker 7: introduced as a way to to practice No I can't

2390
02:06:52,680 --> 02:06:54,560
Speaker 7: think of the right word, but but just to humble,

2391
02:06:54,880 --> 02:06:59,600
Speaker 7: humble oneself to to use. So so, although Lynn is

2392
02:06:59,600 --> 02:07:08,640
Speaker 7: not bibl the practices that that is connected with lent, fasting, prayer, generosity,

2393
02:07:08,720 --> 02:07:12,480
Speaker 7: all of those things are definitely biblical and exemplified in

2394
02:07:12,520 --> 02:07:14,880
Speaker 7: the life of Christ and in the early Church.

2395
02:07:14,960 --> 02:07:15,680
Speaker 12: But ln is not.

2396
02:07:15,880 --> 02:07:18,600
Speaker 7: And then one of the challenges even with the whole

2397
02:07:18,640 --> 02:07:25,760
Speaker 7: concept of lent, like you said, is people have misconstrued

2398
02:07:26,280 --> 02:07:33,240
Speaker 7: those biblical disciplines to try to, you know, shape them

2399
02:07:33,240 --> 02:07:37,760
Speaker 7: into making or getting something from God. And the Church

2400
02:07:37,840 --> 02:07:40,440
Speaker 7: has to be very careful even you know, we just

2401
02:07:40,600 --> 02:07:43,200
Speaker 7: we every every New Year, we do about twenty one

2402
02:07:43,320 --> 02:07:47,360
Speaker 7: days of consecration and prayer as a church, just corporately,

2403
02:07:47,440 --> 02:07:49,640
Speaker 7: so that we can all be on the same page

2404
02:07:49,680 --> 02:07:52,880
Speaker 7: and pray together and keep the main thing the main thing.

2405
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:56,600
Speaker 7: But you know, I have to tell people and remind myself,

2406
02:07:56,880 --> 02:08:01,000
Speaker 7: you don't fast and pray to change God or to

2407
02:08:01,040 --> 02:08:04,880
Speaker 7: get God to do something. Those types of disciplines are helpful,

2408
02:08:05,440 --> 02:08:09,760
Speaker 7: I found to change me, to give me a better perspective,

2409
02:08:09,800 --> 02:08:13,160
Speaker 7: to quiet my soul, to turn my plate over, to

2410
02:08:13,280 --> 02:08:16,040
Speaker 7: turn the TV off and and turn the social media

2411
02:08:16,160 --> 02:08:20,960
Speaker 7: off so that I can just have a clearer ear

2412
02:08:21,680 --> 02:08:24,840
Speaker 7: towards heaven and make sure that I'm aligned with what

2413
02:08:24,920 --> 02:08:28,080
Speaker 7: God has for me. I believe that's the intention of Lent.

2414
02:08:28,200 --> 02:08:30,560
Speaker 7: But you know, I mean, think about it, if we

2415
02:08:31,560 --> 02:08:35,320
Speaker 7: just thinking of Marti Grass and Carnival, if we have

2416
02:08:35,520 --> 02:08:42,200
Speaker 7: Lent begins traditionally on what they call Ash Wednesday, right,

2417
02:08:42,560 --> 02:08:46,720
Speaker 7: That's when it starts. People go to some churches, Catholic

2418
02:08:46,920 --> 02:08:53,040
Speaker 7: and Episcopal churches, they they they do an ash, they

2419
02:08:53,080 --> 02:08:56,120
Speaker 7: do a cross on people's foreheads. So on Ash Wednesday,

2420
02:08:56,160 --> 02:08:59,280
Speaker 7: you go into places, you see people with this ashy

2421
02:08:59,360 --> 02:09:03,160
Speaker 7: cross on forehead saying, you know, basically symbolizing or I

2422
02:09:03,200 --> 02:09:06,920
Speaker 7: went to service to begin Lent today, But if the

2423
02:09:07,040 --> 02:09:11,360
Speaker 7: day before you use that to party, to eat as

2424
02:09:11,440 --> 02:09:13,840
Speaker 7: much as you can fat Tuesday and things like this,

2425
02:09:14,040 --> 02:09:17,720
Speaker 7: what's really happening in that exchange. I'm gonna eat a

2426
02:09:17,760 --> 02:09:21,920
Speaker 7: lot because I know I'm supposed to be fasting and changing.

2427
02:09:23,040 --> 02:09:27,240
Speaker 7: To me, that type of interchange is not as helpful

2428
02:09:27,280 --> 02:09:29,480
Speaker 7: as we may think it is. As a matter of fact,

2429
02:09:29,520 --> 02:09:32,680
Speaker 7: I was challenged this year, even in our time of

2430
02:09:32,720 --> 02:09:37,320
Speaker 7: fasting and consecration to I remember my pastor growing up

2431
02:09:37,320 --> 02:09:41,240
Speaker 7: would talk about living a fasted life, and I said,

2432
02:09:41,280 --> 02:09:43,040
Speaker 7: you know what I want to go after, not just

2433
02:09:43,160 --> 02:09:47,280
Speaker 7: twenty one days or forty days like Lent represents leading

2434
02:09:47,360 --> 02:09:51,400
Speaker 7: up to resurrection Sunday. But what if we purpose to

2435
02:09:51,440 --> 02:09:54,839
Speaker 7: live a fasted life, meaning a life that was yielded

2436
02:09:54,920 --> 02:10:01,440
Speaker 7: to Christ and that was intentional about spiritual discipline all

2437
02:10:01,560 --> 02:10:04,640
Speaker 7: year long, as opposed to twenty one or forty days.

2438
02:10:05,040 --> 02:10:07,360
Speaker 7: What difference would that make? So That's what I'm kind

2439
02:10:07,360 --> 02:10:11,560
Speaker 7: of going after now. But so, but let you know, again,

2440
02:10:12,520 --> 02:10:18,000
Speaker 7: one of those practices that the early Church implemented, I

2441
02:10:18,080 --> 02:10:22,920
Speaker 7: believe to try to encourage people to remain discipline and

2442
02:10:24,160 --> 02:10:26,720
Speaker 7: seek God and things like that. Although it's not biblical,

2443
02:10:26,800 --> 02:10:30,280
Speaker 7: I don't think I personally don't think anything's wrong with it.

2444
02:10:30,400 --> 02:10:33,080
Speaker 7: But I also think that we have to go deeper

2445
02:10:33,120 --> 02:10:36,720
Speaker 7: in our own faith journey to know what God has

2446
02:10:36,720 --> 02:10:38,080
Speaker 7: for us and to be able to hear and the

2447
02:10:38,120 --> 02:10:40,440
Speaker 7: respond to His voice at all times.

2448
02:10:41,240 --> 02:10:44,320
Speaker 1: All right, turn away from the topic you mentioned. Resurrection Sunday.

2449
02:10:44,360 --> 02:10:47,880
Speaker 1: Some people call it Easter. Who does what we call

2450
02:10:47,960 --> 02:10:50,320
Speaker 1: it growing up as Easter? Why he is land always

2451
02:10:50,360 --> 02:10:52,880
Speaker 1: forty days though before Easter? Who decided that?

2452
02:10:54,960 --> 02:10:55,120
Speaker 3: Well?

2453
02:10:55,160 --> 02:10:58,640
Speaker 7: A part of the dates and the timing when you

2454
02:10:58,680 --> 02:11:02,800
Speaker 7: read the scriptures are connected to some of the the

2455
02:11:02,920 --> 02:11:08,160
Speaker 7: Jewish traditions in the scripture as well, like Passover. You know,

2456
02:11:08,160 --> 02:11:11,760
Speaker 7: when Jesus entered Jerusalem during Passover, all of these times

2457
02:11:11,800 --> 02:11:15,600
Speaker 7: and and dates were and and this is when I

2458
02:11:15,640 --> 02:11:17,920
Speaker 7: wish doctor j was on the line with us. But

2459
02:11:18,480 --> 02:11:24,440
Speaker 7: they aligned with the fulfillment of prophecy even in the

2460
02:11:24,480 --> 02:11:28,360
Speaker 7: Old Testament that Jesus came and fulfilled and the way

2461
02:11:28,480 --> 02:11:32,800
Speaker 7: that he he carried himself. We were talking about that earlier, right,

2462
02:11:32,840 --> 02:11:36,120
Speaker 7: the way that he carried himself actually was was checking

2463
02:11:36,240 --> 02:11:41,400
Speaker 7: boxes as to what the Old Testament prophets foretold that

2464
02:11:41,440 --> 02:11:49,160
Speaker 7: the Messiah would do and would be. The Jewish faith

2465
02:11:50,720 --> 02:11:52,920
Speaker 7: said that the Messiah would come. I mean, you know,

2466
02:11:53,000 --> 02:11:56,080
Speaker 7: the the thought was that the Messiah would come and

2467
02:11:56,080 --> 02:12:01,640
Speaker 7: and save Israel. But Jesus came me and mild. They

2468
02:12:01,680 --> 02:12:03,640
Speaker 7: thought he might come on a white horse and just

2469
02:12:03,720 --> 02:12:06,880
Speaker 7: take over, but Jesus rode in on a donkey. I mean,

2470
02:12:06,920 --> 02:12:12,000
Speaker 7: all of these kind of contradicted their perception. And that's

2471
02:12:12,040 --> 02:12:15,080
Speaker 7: the thing. That's what I was saying about original caller.

2472
02:12:16,200 --> 02:12:19,960
Speaker 7: You know, our perception is one thing, but what God

2473
02:12:20,120 --> 02:12:23,400
Speaker 7: intends is something that many times those mysteries go a

2474
02:12:23,440 --> 02:12:27,320
Speaker 7: little deeper than even what we've been taught. So so

2475
02:12:28,440 --> 02:12:32,320
Speaker 7: you know, Easter Resurrection Sunday. I actually I you know,

2476
02:12:32,480 --> 02:12:38,240
Speaker 7: sometimes I'll say Easter, but many times I'll say Resurrection

2477
02:12:38,440 --> 02:12:43,680
Speaker 7: Sunday because for me, the whole thing hinges on Christ

2478
02:12:44,880 --> 02:12:47,400
Speaker 7: being raised from the from the dead from the grave

2479
02:12:47,440 --> 02:12:52,560
Speaker 7: in three days, three days after his crucifixion. So but Easter, again,

2480
02:12:52,600 --> 02:12:55,080
Speaker 7: as you know we've talked about on this show many times,

2481
02:12:55,880 --> 02:12:59,760
Speaker 7: was a pagan holiday, and even Christmas, all of these

2482
02:12:59,760 --> 02:13:03,120
Speaker 7: things that we have integrated into the life of the

2483
02:13:03,200 --> 02:13:07,840
Speaker 7: church again, I believe in an attempt to not be

2484
02:13:08,160 --> 02:13:10,240
Speaker 7: like the world, but almost to win the world, and

2485
02:13:10,280 --> 02:13:15,320
Speaker 7: to oppose some of the pagan rituals and holidays by

2486
02:13:16,280 --> 02:13:20,240
Speaker 7: having authentic Christian celebrations and helping turn people's hearts and

2487
02:13:20,320 --> 02:13:24,840
Speaker 7: minds back to God's intent for us. We just have

2488
02:13:24,960 --> 02:13:28,000
Speaker 7: to be careful that the object of our affection is

2489
02:13:28,040 --> 02:13:34,240
Speaker 7: not these holidays and rabbits and chocolate and all of

2490
02:13:34,280 --> 02:13:36,600
Speaker 7: these other things, because they have some of them have

2491
02:13:36,880 --> 02:13:42,240
Speaker 7: a twisted history that sometimes even in the Christian faith

2492
02:13:42,280 --> 02:13:45,000
Speaker 7: we just buy hook line and sinker. But we have

2493
02:13:45,120 --> 02:13:47,680
Speaker 7: to we have to seek the scriptures for ourselves. We

2494
02:13:47,760 --> 02:13:52,200
Speaker 7: have to pursue a relationship with God for ourselves, and

2495
02:13:52,240 --> 02:13:54,400
Speaker 7: then we have to I believe, join with those of

2496
02:13:54,480 --> 02:13:57,920
Speaker 7: light precious faith, meaning get connected to some other people

2497
02:13:58,400 --> 02:14:00,440
Speaker 7: who are trying to make Heaven their home as well,

2498
02:14:00,480 --> 02:14:05,520
Speaker 7: and grow together and work out your salvation together. Sometimes

2499
02:14:05,520 --> 02:14:07,440
Speaker 7: that even means not agreeing on everything.

2500
02:14:08,680 --> 02:14:10,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me ask you jump in and ask you this.

2501
02:14:10,120 --> 02:14:11,680
Speaker 1: I ate away from the tough air. You mentioned their

2502
02:14:11,720 --> 02:14:14,160
Speaker 1: pagan holidays, which is true, But do you tell that

2503
02:14:14,200 --> 02:14:17,040
Speaker 1: from the pulpits you tell you the people in your church,

2504
02:14:17,080 --> 02:14:20,640
Speaker 1: and the Easter, you know, is a pagan holiday, and

2505
02:14:20,760 --> 02:14:22,320
Speaker 1: Christmas is a pagan holiday.

2506
02:14:22,960 --> 02:14:26,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, I suppose I wanted to share those things because

2507
02:14:26,960 --> 02:14:29,440
Speaker 7: it's important for them to know. You know, you know,

2508
02:14:29,520 --> 02:14:32,280
Speaker 7: you can easily. You know, I grew up, I guess

2509
02:14:32,560 --> 02:14:34,560
Speaker 7: yet not even I guess. I grew up thinking that

2510
02:14:34,800 --> 02:14:38,960
Speaker 7: Christ was born on December to twenty fifth. But of course,

2511
02:14:39,080 --> 02:14:42,400
Speaker 7: you know, now I know that's that's not the actual

2512
02:14:42,480 --> 02:14:44,520
Speaker 7: day he was born. Is the day that was chosen

2513
02:14:44,560 --> 02:14:49,640
Speaker 7: to celebrate his birth. And some of those reasons were

2514
02:14:49,760 --> 02:14:54,920
Speaker 7: to up pose and refuse some pagan holidays and rituals

2515
02:14:54,960 --> 02:14:57,240
Speaker 7: that had taken over that time of year. But so

2516
02:14:58,520 --> 02:15:02,000
Speaker 7: for me, I emphasized the greater truth is he was born.

2517
02:15:02,360 --> 02:15:04,280
Speaker 7: As a matter of fact, you know, as they said,

2518
02:15:04,280 --> 02:15:07,200
Speaker 7: And remember the Living Color the TV show, the guy

2519
02:15:07,240 --> 02:15:08,880
Speaker 7: that said, I wrote a song about it. Want to

2520
02:15:08,920 --> 02:15:11,920
Speaker 7: hear it? Here goes as a matter of fact, this

2521
02:15:12,800 --> 02:15:17,920
Speaker 7: past Christmas, I wrote a song called Born because I think,

2522
02:15:18,120 --> 02:15:21,400
Speaker 7: you know, we get lost in the hooplah, you know,

2523
02:15:21,520 --> 02:15:25,480
Speaker 7: the cells and the red nose deer and all of

2524
02:15:25,520 --> 02:15:27,760
Speaker 7: these things. But the real meaning of Christmas, as the

2525
02:15:27,760 --> 02:15:31,440
Speaker 7: Winers used to sing is Christ. So I think it's

2526
02:15:31,480 --> 02:15:34,640
Speaker 7: important in all of these places and spaces to emphasize

2527
02:15:36,760 --> 02:15:39,280
Speaker 7: what God really intends for his people and to tell

2528
02:15:39,320 --> 02:15:41,360
Speaker 7: them the truth about how we get to some of

2529
02:15:41,360 --> 02:15:45,840
Speaker 7: these other practices. I don't believe it's totally wrong or

2530
02:15:46,280 --> 02:15:52,440
Speaker 7: or immoral or wicked to utilize these spaces in places

2531
02:15:52,480 --> 02:15:56,040
Speaker 7: to to help redeem people, or to redeem even things

2532
02:15:56,080 --> 02:15:59,760
Speaker 7: that were used. In one way the Bible talks about

2533
02:16:00,160 --> 02:16:03,840
Speaker 7: for someone who used to steal, Paul says, if you

2534
02:16:03,960 --> 02:16:08,120
Speaker 7: used to steal, don't steal anymore, but use your hands

2535
02:16:08,160 --> 02:16:12,840
Speaker 7: to do good. So if you stop stealing, didn't take

2536
02:16:12,880 --> 02:16:14,840
Speaker 7: cut off your hands and don't use them anymore. Use

2537
02:16:14,880 --> 02:16:17,480
Speaker 7: those same hands that used to steal, you can use

2538
02:16:17,520 --> 02:16:19,640
Speaker 7: them to do good. Do good for people now. And

2539
02:16:19,680 --> 02:16:22,040
Speaker 7: I think that's the way we ought to be thinking

2540
02:16:22,480 --> 02:16:26,680
Speaker 7: about how we can even redeem our past life. Right.

2541
02:16:27,040 --> 02:16:29,280
Speaker 7: I don't take joy in sharing with you the things

2542
02:16:29,320 --> 02:16:32,040
Speaker 7: I used to do at thirteen, But if at any

2543
02:16:32,080 --> 02:16:36,039
Speaker 7: way me sharing it can help somebody else avoid some

2544
02:16:36,120 --> 02:16:40,280
Speaker 7: of those pitfalls and maybe turn to Christ earlier than

2545
02:16:40,320 --> 02:16:43,800
Speaker 7: I did without having to experience some of that heartache,

2546
02:16:43,840 --> 02:16:46,000
Speaker 7: then my living will not be in vain.

2547
02:16:47,240 --> 02:16:49,800
Speaker 1: Well, we appreciate you being candid about your past life,

2548
02:16:50,240 --> 02:16:52,680
Speaker 1: but it's still your life. As you say, past life,

2549
02:16:52,879 --> 02:16:55,360
Speaker 1: but it's still your life, still part of your journey.

2550
02:16:55,360 --> 02:16:57,280
Speaker 1: I got a tweet question for you, five away from

2551
02:16:57,280 --> 02:17:00,720
Speaker 1: the top. Tweet it says, please ask The Bible says

2552
02:17:00,800 --> 02:17:03,840
Speaker 1: the Jews built the pyramids of mud and straw. He

2553
02:17:03,879 --> 02:17:05,640
Speaker 1: wants to know is that true? Who is that fiction?

2554
02:17:08,000 --> 02:17:10,840
Speaker 7: The Jews built the peeriments of mud and straw. I

2555
02:17:10,920 --> 02:17:17,519
Speaker 7: know that the story of the Exodus beginning with God

2556
02:17:18,480 --> 02:17:23,160
Speaker 7: calling Moses to go and redeem his people, and the

2557
02:17:23,200 --> 02:17:26,280
Speaker 7: hardship and the slavery that they were in for hundreds

2558
02:17:26,320 --> 02:17:29,480
Speaker 7: of years leading up to that, a part of it.

2559
02:17:29,520 --> 02:17:33,879
Speaker 7: The scripture talks about how Pharaoh even texts them even

2560
02:17:33,959 --> 02:17:37,680
Speaker 7: greater by the way he told them how they had

2561
02:17:37,680 --> 02:17:41,119
Speaker 7: to produce the bricks and all of those kinds of things.

2562
02:17:43,800 --> 02:17:49,200
Speaker 7: So in that sense, that was the Israelite people. But

2563
02:17:49,360 --> 02:17:53,720
Speaker 7: I don't know if I'm able to say that the

2564
02:17:53,800 --> 02:17:56,920
Speaker 7: Jews built the pyramid. I've never heard. I've never heard that.

2565
02:17:57,000 --> 02:18:00,199
Speaker 7: I've never read or studied that the Jews actually built

2566
02:18:00,200 --> 02:18:04,080
Speaker 7: the pyramid pyramids. You know, we talked about the pyramids

2567
02:18:04,120 --> 02:18:05,160
Speaker 7: we talk about Egypt.

2568
02:18:07,040 --> 02:18:08,640
Speaker 1: Thought. Right now, I'm looking at the clock here past

2569
02:18:08,680 --> 02:18:10,360
Speaker 1: the manning, and I'll let you finish your thought. On

2570
02:18:10,400 --> 02:18:11,959
Speaker 1: the other side, we got to take a short break.

2571
02:18:12,000 --> 02:18:14,440
Speaker 1: Sauce stations can identify themselves down the line. It's four

2572
02:18:14,440 --> 02:18:16,640
Speaker 1: minutes away from the top of our family. You want

2573
02:18:16,640 --> 02:18:18,400
Speaker 1: to reach us eight hundred and four or five zero

2574
02:18:18,480 --> 02:18:21,440
Speaker 1: seventy eight seventy six or ticket phone calls next and

2575
02:18:21,480 --> 02:18:23,520
Speaker 1: grand Rising family. Thanks for staying with us on this

2576
02:18:23,560 --> 02:18:26,240
Speaker 1: Wednesday morning. It's a hump day. That means we're halfway

2577
02:18:26,240 --> 02:18:29,080
Speaker 1: through the work week. From now, it's downhill all the way.

2578
02:18:29,480 --> 02:18:31,440
Speaker 1: I guess just past the Curry manning and the Mark

2579
02:18:31,520 --> 02:18:33,640
Speaker 1: manner is on deck, so we get to mark Momentaril,

2580
02:18:33,680 --> 02:18:35,480
Speaker 1: let's finish up with past the curring. So past the

2581
02:18:35,520 --> 02:18:37,039
Speaker 1: Curry Manneral, I let you finish your thoughts.

2582
02:18:37,879 --> 02:18:40,039
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was going to say that that there is

2583
02:18:40,080 --> 02:18:44,720
Speaker 7: no historical evidence or archaeological evidence that the Jews Jews

2584
02:18:44,720 --> 02:18:49,480
Speaker 7: built the pyramids, and even our understanding of pyramids, that's

2585
02:18:49,480 --> 02:18:51,520
Speaker 7: a whole nother deep dive. I think that I would

2586
02:18:51,600 --> 02:18:56,400
Speaker 7: encourage our listeners to research and to and to know

2587
02:18:56,640 --> 02:19:02,240
Speaker 7: because I'm finding out even more more about pyramids, that

2588
02:19:02,600 --> 02:19:06,480
Speaker 7: there's more pyramids in Sudan than in Egypt. But again

2589
02:19:06,600 --> 02:19:09,360
Speaker 7: we associate the pyramids in Egypt with the story of

2590
02:19:09,400 --> 02:19:12,640
Speaker 7: Moses and Pharaoh, and that that gets all the hype.

2591
02:19:12,680 --> 02:19:16,120
Speaker 7: But pyramids were common all throughout the world. And there's

2592
02:19:16,120 --> 02:19:19,640
Speaker 7: even pyramids that were found in the Americas, as you

2593
02:19:19,800 --> 02:19:25,679
Speaker 7: know that that have a lot of African characteristics to them.

2594
02:19:25,800 --> 02:19:28,800
Speaker 7: So that even speaks of some believing that you know

2595
02:19:28,879 --> 02:19:33,119
Speaker 7: that our people were here first and traveled here way before.

2596
02:19:34,280 --> 02:19:39,320
Speaker 7: Well Columbus never discovered anything, but before you know that

2597
02:19:39,320 --> 02:19:43,440
Speaker 7: that historical account that we were taught in our school books.

2598
02:19:43,600 --> 02:19:47,080
Speaker 7: So just studying the scripture says study to show yourself

2599
02:19:47,120 --> 02:19:49,720
Speaker 7: approval of workmen, the need of not be a shamed

2600
02:19:49,800 --> 02:19:52,680
Speaker 7: rightly dividing the word of truth, which always says to

2601
02:19:52,760 --> 02:19:55,640
Speaker 7: me that the word of truth can also be wrongly divided.

2602
02:19:56,080 --> 02:20:00,840
Speaker 7: But it's incumbent upon us to seek the scriptures for

2603
02:20:00,879 --> 02:20:03,360
Speaker 7: the true meanings and for what God is really saying

2604
02:20:03,360 --> 02:20:04,600
Speaker 7: to us to his people.

2605
02:20:05,440 --> 02:20:08,080

02:20:53,720 --> 02:20:56,280
Speaker 1: real name and not really from Anaheim. But Mark is

2622
02:20:56,440 --> 02:20:59,080
Speaker 1: keeping us above the learning curve back in the day,

2623
02:20:59,120 --> 02:21:01,560
Speaker 1: so we had to have give him a non diplume

2624
02:21:02,160 --> 02:21:04,120
Speaker 1: so they wouldn't figure out who he was. He was

2625
02:21:04,120 --> 02:21:06,720
Speaker 1: giving us dropping all this knowledge on us and some

2626
02:21:06,760 --> 02:21:08,600
Speaker 1: of the stuff that you heard that Dick Gregory said

2627
02:21:08,959 --> 02:21:12,160
Speaker 1: or Steve Kocher said, they actually got it from Martham

2628
02:21:12,160 --> 02:21:14,560
Speaker 1: Anaheim because he couldn't he couldn't reveal himself and they

2629
02:21:14,560 --> 02:21:17,120
Speaker 1: couldn't reveal what he told him as well. Having said

2630
02:21:17,160 --> 02:21:18,840

Speaker 8: When you say cold, all cool.

2641
02:21:46,080 --> 02:21:47,600
Speaker 1: I would say twenties, thirties.

2642
02:21:49,440 --> 02:21:51,240
Speaker 8: Oh man, I don't know what I'm gonna do. It's

2645
02:22:02,040 --> 02:22:04,680

02:22:14,040 --> 02:22:14,680

2651
02:22:15,520 --> 02:22:17,440
Speaker 3: So I like that.

02:22:18,800 --> 02:22:21,959

2657
02:22:36,760 --> 02:22:39,440
Speaker 8: share on this show this morning. Do your own research,

2658
02:22:39,640 --> 02:22:41,640
Speaker 8: and I challenge any of you to be able to

2659
02:22:41,640 --> 02:22:44,360
Speaker 8: come back and say that I provided would you provided

2663
02:22:57,360 --> 02:22:59,879
Speaker 8: Does that name ring a bell for you?

2664
02:23:00,040 --> 02:23:00,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

2665
02:23:00,280 --> 02:23:01,440
Speaker 1: Watergate Day?

2666
02:23:01,520 --> 02:23:03,879
Speaker 8: It is for you folks out there too young to remember.

2667
02:23:04,879 --> 02:23:07,640
Speaker 8: If I hadn't been for Frank Will's keen observation as

2668
02:23:07,680 --> 02:23:10,320
Speaker 8: a security guard, it would have never led to the

2669
02:23:10,320 --> 02:23:14,520
Speaker 8: infamous Watergate scandal. And mister Nelson today is his name day.

2670
02:23:15,120 --> 02:23:16,879
Speaker 8: Had he still been with us, he would be seventy

2671
02:23:16,920 --> 02:23:19,520
Speaker 8: eight years young. And I was living over in a

2672
02:23:19,520 --> 02:23:23,160
Speaker 8: Marine Corps based Quantico at that time, and the Washington

2673
02:23:23,160 --> 02:23:25,760
Speaker 8: Post was the first job I had where they were

2674
02:23:25,760 --> 02:23:27,840
Speaker 8: actually taking on Social Security out of my check, So

2675
02:23:27,840 --> 02:23:30,680
Speaker 8: I remember those days well. I want to thank you,

2676
02:23:30,760 --> 02:23:34,080
Speaker 8: mister Nelson for giving me this opportunity because I think

2677
02:23:34,120 --> 02:23:35,760
Speaker 8: what I'm going to share with the listeners is an

2678
02:23:35,760 --> 02:23:40,560
Speaker 8: important thing. I'm not here to discuss the Epstein Files.

2679
02:23:41,840 --> 02:23:46,360
Speaker 8: I told this radio audience back in twenty fifteen all

2680
02:23:46,400 --> 02:23:50,879
Speaker 8: about the Epstein Files, So you know, I don't understand

2681
02:23:51,200 --> 02:23:56,400
Speaker 8: what is it. It is now what nine years, eleven

2682
02:23:56,480 --> 02:23:59,400
Speaker 8: years later, eleven years later, and people are acting shocked

2683
02:23:59,400 --> 02:24:02,960
Speaker 8: about the follows. I don't know why I'm here today

2684
02:24:03,040 --> 02:24:05,720
Speaker 8: because on Martin Luther King Junior Day, mister Nelson had

2685
02:24:05,760 --> 02:24:10,039
Speaker 8: me come on and the last caller was Pam from

2686
02:24:10,120 --> 02:24:13,520
Speaker 8: Upper Marlborough and she called in and she said, if

2687
02:24:13,520 --> 02:24:16,480
Speaker 8: this nation is going back to the days before FDR,

2688
02:24:17,240 --> 02:24:20,320
Speaker 8: what are we to do? But you know, I had

2689
02:24:20,400 --> 02:24:23,240
Speaker 8: very little time to respond to her question. So thank you, Pam,

2690
02:24:23,360 --> 02:24:25,320
Speaker 8: because I hope today I would be able to share

2691
02:24:26,200 --> 02:24:28,480
Speaker 8: some of what I think would help some of us

2692
02:24:29,000 --> 02:24:30,880
Speaker 8: and what to do. But before I get into that,

2693
02:24:30,920 --> 02:24:33,000
Speaker 8: mister Nelson, I have to go back and discuss something

2694
02:24:33,040 --> 02:24:36,280
Speaker 8: that has been discussed on your show by several different

2695
02:24:36,320 --> 02:24:40,120
Speaker 8: callers and guests and during the past three weeks, and

2696
02:24:40,160 --> 02:24:45,520
Speaker 8: that's the posse commatatus actor. Unlike what many who appear

2697
02:24:45,600 --> 02:24:52,040
Speaker 8: on this show seem to believe, active duty US Armed

2698
02:24:52,120 --> 02:24:59,000
Speaker 8: Forces personnel can be used against US citizens. You folks

2699
02:24:59,080 --> 02:25:03,039
Speaker 8: don't believe me. Go back to nineteen thirty two. You

2700
02:25:03,160 --> 02:25:09,160
Speaker 8: had World War One vets, White World War One vets

2701
02:25:10,120 --> 02:25:12,560
Speaker 8: who were camped outside the White House because they never

2702
02:25:12,600 --> 02:25:17,880
Speaker 8: received their promise bonus benefits having served in World War One.

2703
02:25:18,200 --> 02:25:24,960
Speaker 8: And you had generals like Patent Pershing, Eisdenhower MacArthur riding

2704
02:25:25,000 --> 02:25:29,000
Speaker 8: on horseback with US troops following behind them, and they

2705
02:25:29,160 --> 02:25:32,840
Speaker 8: burned down their shacks and they shot them down like dogs.

2706
02:25:34,160 --> 02:25:35,960
Speaker 8: So I don't know what world folks are living in.

2707
02:25:36,200 --> 02:25:38,480
Speaker 8: I bring it up a little closer. In nineteen fifty seven,

2708
02:25:38,959 --> 02:25:43,840
Speaker 8: Arkansas had the desegregation crisis. Eisenhower sent active duty armed

2709
02:25:43,840 --> 02:25:48,320
Speaker 8: forces down because he said it was an exception to

2710
02:25:48,360 --> 02:25:51,800
Speaker 8: the Posse Commettatus Act. Even here in La mister Nelson.

2711
02:25:51,840 --> 02:25:55,080
Speaker 8: During the nineteen ninety two civil unrest in the Riots,

2712
02:25:55,520 --> 02:26:02,240
Speaker 8: Daddy Bush had already signed what Congress had modified to

2713
02:26:02,320 --> 02:26:05,200
Speaker 8: the Possecommatatas Act. Not what I said to you, folks.

2714
02:26:05,520 --> 02:26:12,119
Speaker 8: The Posse Komatatus Act was modified in nineteen ninety two. Now,

2715
02:26:12,520 --> 02:26:14,840
Speaker 8: a lot of people were very angry at Daddy Bush

2716
02:26:15,120 --> 02:26:18,519
Speaker 8: because even though he federalized the National Guard, he refused

2717
02:26:18,560 --> 02:26:21,119
Speaker 8: to allow those active due to the US Marines Long

2718
02:26:21,160 --> 02:26:24,080
Speaker 8: Beach Naval base has gone out, but they were all

2719
02:26:24,400 --> 02:26:26,959
Speaker 8: stationed there at Long Beach Naval Base just waiting to

2720
02:26:27,000 --> 02:26:31,360
Speaker 8: come into LA to slaughter black and brown folks who

2721
02:26:31,440 --> 02:26:33,960
Speaker 8: were in the uprising. In fact, that's one of the

2722
02:26:33,959 --> 02:26:36,879
Speaker 8: reasons why Daddy Busch didn't get reelected. The two main

2723
02:26:36,879 --> 02:26:39,600
Speaker 8: regions he didn't get reelected. It was one he refused

2724
02:26:39,600 --> 02:26:41,720
Speaker 8: to send active due to the US milk marines in

2725
02:26:42,000 --> 02:26:44,840
Speaker 8: LA and then during the Persian Gulf War he refused

2726
02:26:44,840 --> 02:26:47,600
Speaker 8: to go all the way to Baghdad. So for you, folks,

2727
02:26:47,640 --> 02:26:49,680
Speaker 8: because I know there's a lot of research warriors out there.

2728
02:26:49,879 --> 02:26:52,560
Speaker 8: If you want an idea of what I'm talking about,

2729
02:26:53,040 --> 02:26:59,920
Speaker 8: one study the Houston Plan and as each USTN Houston Plan.

2730
02:27:01,040 --> 02:27:06,080
Speaker 8: When Nixon was president, he completely suspended all Bill of

2731
02:27:06,200 --> 02:27:11,520
Speaker 8: Rights and the entire US Constitution for five days before

2732
02:27:11,640 --> 02:27:14,680
Speaker 8: other people came in and forced him to shut it down.

2733
02:27:15,000 --> 02:27:20,640
Speaker 8: It's been done before, folks. Study REX eighty four. Now

2734
02:27:20,680 --> 02:27:23,680
Speaker 8: that stood for Ready Next Exercise eighty four because nineteen

2735
02:27:23,720 --> 02:27:26,000
Speaker 8: eighty four was when they were doing it. Oli North

2736
02:27:26,120 --> 02:27:29,320
Speaker 8: was behind that right out here Saint Louis Obispo. During

2737
02:27:29,360 --> 02:27:33,400
Speaker 8: the Iran Contra hearings before Senator Daniel in away from

2738
02:27:33,480 --> 02:27:38,119
Speaker 8: Hawaii quickly cut Oli North off. He stated how they

2739
02:27:38,200 --> 02:27:43,400
Speaker 8: had a plan to round up thirty million blacks, and

2740
02:27:43,440 --> 02:27:47,440
Speaker 8: then of course this Operation Garden plot. Even during the

2741
02:27:47,440 --> 02:27:51,200
Speaker 8: civil unrest in nineteen ninety two, mister Nelson, you had

2742
02:27:51,280 --> 02:27:54,680
Speaker 8: National Guard troops here in LA whose orders and I

2743
02:27:54,720 --> 02:27:58,520
Speaker 8: saw some of them that were stamped Operation Garden plot.

2744
02:27:58,560 --> 02:28:00,720
Speaker 8: So if you don't know about the Houston plant, and

2745
02:28:00,800 --> 02:28:03,720
Speaker 8: if you don't know about REX eighty four, an Operation

2746
02:28:03,840 --> 02:28:07,080
Speaker 8: Garden plot, do some homework before you come on this

2747
02:28:07,240 --> 02:28:10,160
Speaker 8: radio show and give people missed information about the Posse

2748
02:28:10,240 --> 02:28:13,920
Speaker 8: Commatitis Act. The Posse Commatitis Acts is null and void,

2749
02:28:13,959 --> 02:28:17,480
Speaker 8: and it doesn't matter. Donald Trump has immunity, he can

2750
02:28:17,520 --> 02:28:20,000
Speaker 8: do whatever he wants. We living under an authoritarian rule,

2751
02:28:20,760 --> 02:28:21,080
Speaker 8: of course.

2752
02:28:21,080 --> 02:28:21,280
Speaker 3: You know.

2753
02:28:21,440 --> 02:28:24,960
Speaker 8: My whole thing about the nineteen ninety two was the

2754
02:28:25,000 --> 02:28:27,680
Speaker 8: only church here in LA that you saw on television

2755
02:28:27,800 --> 02:28:31,000
Speaker 8: was the house negroes over at the first day and

2756
02:28:31,080 --> 02:28:33,879
Speaker 8: me you know, the ones who were paid by FEMA.

2757
02:28:34,040 --> 02:28:37,320
Speaker 8: You know, the same church where the high ranking elder

2758
02:28:37,400 --> 02:28:41,400
Speaker 8: Julia Butler was the guy responsible for framing Vietnam War

2759
02:28:41,440 --> 02:28:45,600
Speaker 8: hero and later Black panther Geronimo Pratt. So I'm just

2760
02:28:45,680 --> 02:28:47,600
Speaker 8: letting you folks know I will never lie to you.

2761
02:28:47,800 --> 02:28:51,160
Speaker 8: Do your own research. So what can we do? How

2762
02:28:51,160 --> 02:28:55,200
Speaker 8: do we address Pam from Upper Marlborough's question, Mister Nelson,

2763
02:28:55,320 --> 02:28:57,119
Speaker 8: Let's start with the youth, because I heard some guests

2764
02:28:57,160 --> 02:29:00,960
Speaker 8: this morning talking about the youth. When my daughter was

2765
02:29:01,000 --> 02:29:03,760
Speaker 8: five and my son was three, I became a single parent.

2766
02:29:04,680 --> 02:29:08,240
Speaker 8: I never use the word kid because I have no

2767
02:29:08,360 --> 02:29:10,840
Speaker 8: goats in my family. So if you want to start

2768
02:29:10,840 --> 02:29:13,000
Speaker 8: on what we can do, let's start with our own house.

2769
02:29:13,959 --> 02:29:17,840
Speaker 8: Stop using these words that are denigrating to our own

2770
02:29:17,840 --> 02:29:21,360
Speaker 8: family members. I never use the word race because race

2771
02:29:21,440 --> 02:29:25,039
Speaker 8: is a social construct. I never use words like white

2772
02:29:25,120 --> 02:29:29,560
Speaker 8: supremacy because white folks are not supreme. Even in the

2773
02:29:29,600 --> 02:29:33,039
Speaker 8: Marine Corps, I never used the word superior officer. I

2774
02:29:33,160 --> 02:29:36,720
Speaker 8: use the word senior officer just because some guy outright

2775
02:29:36,760 --> 02:29:38,959
Speaker 8: me didn't mean he was superior to me. So we

2776
02:29:39,000 --> 02:29:41,000
Speaker 8: have to be careful even the words we choose to

2777
02:29:41,080 --> 02:29:43,119
Speaker 8: use every day. I'm not even going to get into

2778
02:29:43,160 --> 02:29:45,240
Speaker 8: words like dougs and all this other stuff when you

2779
02:29:45,240 --> 02:29:46,960
Speaker 8: folks don't even know where those words come from and

2780
02:29:47,040 --> 02:29:49,440
Speaker 8: what they really mean. And then we go around proudly

2781
02:29:49,480 --> 02:29:52,199
Speaker 8: calling ourselves thugs for life and all this other garbage.

2782
02:29:52,959 --> 02:29:57,760
Speaker 8: I never taught my children about hate in regards for

2783
02:29:57,800 --> 02:30:00,080
Speaker 8: them to go out and hate other people. But I

2784
02:30:00,080 --> 02:30:02,760
Speaker 8: did teach them about hate in regardless to what they

2785
02:30:02,800 --> 02:30:06,320
Speaker 8: may incur. You're not protecting your children by not telling

2786
02:30:06,360 --> 02:30:07,960
Speaker 8: them what it's like to be black and as big

2787
02:30:08,000 --> 02:30:11,440
Speaker 8: as a nation. Before age five, both of my children

2788
02:30:11,520 --> 02:30:14,280
Speaker 8: already knew that they wasn't they would be called, as

2789
02:30:14,320 --> 02:30:17,520
Speaker 8: Marshall Clark called it in the Simpson trial, the N word.

2790
02:30:17,959 --> 02:30:20,040
Speaker 8: And by the way, mister Nelson, they both heard that

2791
02:30:20,120 --> 02:30:23,199
Speaker 8: word before age seven, And because I had already talked

2792
02:30:23,240 --> 02:30:27,039
Speaker 8: to them by age five, it didn't have the impact

2793
02:30:27,120 --> 02:30:31,920
Speaker 8: that their ignorant white schoolmates thought it would. We never

2794
02:30:32,120 --> 02:30:38,000
Speaker 8: celebrated Halloween, and I never bought my children any presents

2795
02:30:38,120 --> 02:30:42,720
Speaker 8: for Christmas. God, what a terrible parent I am. They

2796
02:30:42,840 --> 02:30:46,080
Speaker 8: learned at the early age that Jesus Christ was a Palestinian.

2797
02:30:46,200 --> 02:30:47,760
Speaker 8: How about that, folks, who do you think they're killing

2798
02:30:47,800 --> 02:30:50,600
Speaker 8: over there right now? That he was not born on

2799
02:30:50,640 --> 02:30:54,120
Speaker 8: December twenty fifth, And all those guys and Leonardo da

2800
02:30:54,160 --> 02:30:58,440
Speaker 8: Vinci's the Last Supper painting, those are the Vinci's relatives

2801
02:30:58,480 --> 02:31:01,480
Speaker 8: and friends in Italy, and you folks got this white

2802
02:31:01,560 --> 02:31:05,320
Speaker 8: Jesus on the wall because it's taken from Da Vinci's photograph. Oh,

2803
02:31:05,400 --> 02:31:08,520
Speaker 8: I saw Jesus in my toast this morning. None of

2804
02:31:08,560 --> 02:31:10,720
Speaker 8: us know what Jesus looks like, but even in the

2805
02:31:10,720 --> 02:31:13,120
Speaker 8: Bible they said he had it here like Lamb's wool.

2806
02:31:14,760 --> 02:31:18,240
Speaker 8: My children also learned about Santa Claus. They know Santa

2807
02:31:18,240 --> 02:31:22,560
Speaker 8: Claus is a demonic Teutonic sprite. We never even drank

2808
02:31:22,600 --> 02:31:27,640
Speaker 8: the soft drink sprite because the word literally means disembodied spirit,

2809
02:31:28,320 --> 02:31:33,240
Speaker 8: which Santa Claus was. Folks hell, no pun intended. Even

2810
02:31:33,280 --> 02:31:36,600
Speaker 8: the soft drink sprite was advertised as I like the

2811
02:31:36,720 --> 02:31:41,240
Speaker 8: sprite in you, right in your face. They're telling you

2812
02:31:41,240 --> 02:31:45,280
Speaker 8: you're drinking their spirit inside of you. And we folks

2813
02:31:45,360 --> 02:31:49,080
Speaker 8: go out there and perpetuate this stuff. I never bought

2814
02:31:49,080 --> 02:31:52,160
Speaker 8: my son any toys that had firearms or edge weapons,

2815
02:31:52,879 --> 02:31:56,279
Speaker 8: because they're not items that should be used to minimize

2816
02:31:56,360 --> 02:31:59,440
Speaker 8: killing or death. The first toys that ever bought my

2817
02:31:59,520 --> 02:32:03,000
Speaker 8: daughter legos. Because most women in this country are never

2818
02:32:03,040 --> 02:32:05,240
Speaker 8: exposed at an early age to the types of jobs

2819
02:32:05,640 --> 02:32:09,160
Speaker 8: that can garner the real good salaries. And mister Nelson,

2820
02:32:09,200 --> 02:32:11,680
Speaker 8: as we're talking right now, there are all these people saying,

2821
02:32:11,680 --> 02:32:16,160
Speaker 8: you know what, we should just eliminate college because there

2822
02:32:16,160 --> 02:32:18,400
Speaker 8: are people today getting jobs who have nothing more than

2823
02:32:18,400 --> 02:32:21,520
Speaker 8: a GED or high school diploma, and they're getting jobs

2824
02:32:21,520 --> 02:32:23,320
Speaker 8: that they're making more money than all these folks who

2825
02:32:23,360 --> 02:32:27,320
Speaker 8: are straddled with their college debts. While I never bought

2826
02:32:27,320 --> 02:32:31,600
Speaker 8: my children any toys that had firearms or edge weapons,

2827
02:32:32,680 --> 02:32:35,760
Speaker 8: both of my children were enrolled in martial arts classes

2828
02:32:35,800 --> 02:32:40,720
Speaker 8: by age five. By age six, they both were familiar

2829
02:32:40,840 --> 02:32:45,480
Speaker 8: with real firearms. Mister Nelson, my daughter had her first

2830
02:32:45,520 --> 02:32:50,680
Speaker 8: personal pistol at the age of seven. And you folks

2831
02:32:50,760 --> 02:32:52,640
Speaker 8: are sitting here to small toad, Well, what we were doing.

2832
02:32:52,640 --> 02:32:56,520
Speaker 8: We were thirteen. You're kind of late by thirteen, folks.

2833
02:32:57,360 --> 02:32:59,640
Speaker 8: At age seven, she was already going to school and

2834
02:32:59,680 --> 02:33:02,000
Speaker 8: showing of her shooting targets, and all her little white

2835
02:33:02,000 --> 02:33:05,480
Speaker 8: friends at school were all envious. And since this nation

2836
02:33:05,600 --> 02:33:10,800
Speaker 8: thrives on corporate capitalism, my children were playing scrabble, Monopoly

2837
02:33:10,920 --> 02:33:13,440
Speaker 8: and other similar games by the age of six so

2838
02:33:13,440 --> 02:33:15,840
Speaker 8: they would know how to survive. I'm not a big

2839
02:33:15,879 --> 02:33:19,520
Speaker 8: time corporate fascist capitalists, but this is the society we

2840
02:33:19,560 --> 02:33:22,280
Speaker 8: live in, so I had to teach them and provide

2841
02:33:22,280 --> 02:33:24,240
Speaker 8: them with the skills so they can go out there

2842
02:33:24,240 --> 02:33:27,039
Speaker 8: in the world and know how to play the game.

2843
02:33:28,160 --> 02:33:30,680
Speaker 8: Don't hate the players, hate the game. And as you know,

2844
02:33:30,760 --> 02:33:35,560
Speaker 8: mister Nelson, my daughter two years ago had a best

2845
02:33:35,560 --> 02:33:38,000
Speaker 8: selling book where she now has come back and she's

2846
02:33:38,000 --> 02:33:40,760
Speaker 8: written a book for other women detailing what it was

2847
02:33:40,840 --> 02:33:43,320
Speaker 8: like for her being the only high ranking black female

2848
02:33:43,360 --> 02:33:47,320
Speaker 8: while working in these distilled in the distillery industry. So

2849
02:33:48,600 --> 02:33:51,840
Speaker 8: I never patronized crap like Dave and Busters or Chuck

2850
02:33:51,879 --> 02:33:56,359
Speaker 8: E Cheese. Those are the places that program your children

2851
02:33:56,480 --> 02:34:01,560
Speaker 8: at an early age to become compulsive of gamblers. And

2852
02:34:01,600 --> 02:34:04,160
Speaker 8: that's where you take your young children where they got

2853
02:34:04,200 --> 02:34:06,520
Speaker 8: all the flashing lights in the buzzes and they're hitting

2854
02:34:06,560 --> 02:34:10,000
Speaker 8: on the dopamine. And you wonder why today gambling is

2855
02:34:10,040 --> 02:34:12,760
Speaker 8: the number one addiction in this country. And every week

2856
02:34:12,800 --> 02:34:15,440
Speaker 8: now we're hearing gamblings, especially now that since college players

2857
02:34:15,480 --> 02:34:18,560
Speaker 8: are getting paid every week now there's another gambling scamble,

2858
02:34:18,600 --> 02:34:22,200
Speaker 8: either in professional sports or in college and university sports.

2859
02:34:22,720 --> 02:34:25,680
Speaker 8: I never had any alcoholic beverages in my residence, and

2860
02:34:25,720 --> 02:34:28,480
Speaker 8: I got rid of my cable television in nineteen eighty

2861
02:34:28,560 --> 02:34:32,480
Speaker 8: nine when my first child was born, and I didn't

2862
02:34:32,480 --> 02:34:35,360
Speaker 8: even remember this, mister Nelson until about four years ago.

2863
02:34:35,520 --> 02:34:37,920
Speaker 8: My daughter was on some social media site and she

2864
02:34:38,000 --> 02:34:42,600
Speaker 8: was telling all her friends how her father never allowed

2865
02:34:42,640 --> 02:34:47,720
Speaker 8: them to watch any television show or film that didn't

2866
02:34:47,760 --> 02:34:51,119
Speaker 8: have black actors or black directors. So when we come

2867
02:34:51,160 --> 02:34:52,440
Speaker 8: back from the break, I will.

2868
02:34:52,280 --> 02:34:55,720
Speaker 1: Continue this all right, seventeen half of the top Faft family,

2869
02:34:55,760 --> 02:34:57,360
Speaker 1: call up a couple of friends on them all from

2870
02:34:57,440 --> 02:35:00,000
Speaker 1: animes on the radio. They'll appreciate it, they'll thank you,

2871
02:35:00,120 --> 02:35:03,480
Speaker 1: and anything that Mark says, check it out because it's real.

2872
02:35:03,560 --> 02:35:06,960
Speaker 1: Mark's being giving us this information for years, and everything

2873
02:35:06,959 --> 02:35:09,720
Speaker 1: he said has come true, even in fact that we're

2874
02:35:09,760 --> 02:35:11,640
Speaker 1: going to have a civil war on World War three.

2875
02:35:11,680 --> 02:35:14,560
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? Eight hundred four five zero seventy

2876
02:35:14,600 --> 02:35:17,640
Speaker 1: eight seventy six your calls next, every thanks for staying

2877
02:35:17,640 --> 02:35:20,280
Speaker 1: with us on this Wednesday morning with a rare appearance

2878
02:35:20,280 --> 02:35:22,480
Speaker 1: from Mark from Anaheim. So Mark, I'm gonna let you

2879
02:35:22,520 --> 02:35:24,039
Speaker 1: finish your thought well.

2880
02:35:23,840 --> 02:35:26,400
Speaker 8: Thank you, sir. So before the break, I was just saying, hell,

2881
02:35:26,480 --> 02:35:30,040
Speaker 8: you know, when my son was three and my daughter

2882
02:35:30,120 --> 02:35:33,880
Speaker 8: was five, I became a single parent. So I never

2883
02:35:33,959 --> 02:35:36,720
Speaker 8: allowed alcohol beverages in my residence as long as my

2884
02:35:36,800 --> 02:35:38,800
Speaker 8: children were living with me. I got rid of my

2885
02:35:38,840 --> 02:35:42,840
Speaker 8: cable television when my first child was born. My children

2886
02:35:42,879 --> 02:35:45,879
Speaker 8: were forbidden to watch any television shows of films that

2887
02:35:45,920 --> 02:35:50,000
Speaker 8: did not have black actors or black directors. And being

2888
02:35:50,000 --> 02:35:52,240
Speaker 8: out here in southern California, you know, we knew lots

2889
02:35:52,280 --> 02:35:58,240
Speaker 8: of people in Hollywood, Babylon. I never allowed my children

2890
02:35:58,280 --> 02:36:02,160
Speaker 8: to get into modeling or in Hollywood Babylon. And it's

2891
02:36:02,240 --> 02:36:04,760
Speaker 8: just sad that you want to talk about sex, traffic

2892
02:36:04,800 --> 02:36:06,920
Speaker 8: and all this other garbage. Man, the things that these

2893
02:36:06,959 --> 02:36:09,920
Speaker 8: young children have been exposed to and had had done

2894
02:36:09,920 --> 02:36:13,680
Speaker 8: to them by these people in Hollywood. While some are

2895
02:36:13,720 --> 02:36:16,440
Speaker 8: listening and probably shaking their heads, I'm just going to

2896
02:36:16,520 --> 02:36:20,640
Speaker 8: tell you, by age ten, both of my independent children

2897
02:36:21,120 --> 02:36:25,240
Speaker 8: had no problem being home alone. They took the public

2898
02:36:25,320 --> 02:36:28,440
Speaker 8: Orange County Transit Authority bus to school when they were

2899
02:36:28,480 --> 02:36:34,680
Speaker 8: only six years old. And you know, as a young

2900
02:36:34,760 --> 02:36:39,840
Speaker 8: child living on Segregator John's Island, Miss Nelson, when September

2901
02:36:39,879 --> 02:36:43,520
Speaker 8: Clark Alice Wye Bernice Robinson weren't around to serve as

2902
02:36:43,520 --> 02:36:46,640
Speaker 8: a babysitter while my grandmother was cleaning houses for white people.

2903
02:36:47,520 --> 02:36:50,280
Speaker 8: When I was six years old, I was left at

2904
02:36:50,280 --> 02:36:53,400
Speaker 8: home and this is on segregated John's Island with it

2905
02:36:53,440 --> 02:36:56,640
Speaker 8: which was infested by the Ku Klux Klan. How did

2906
02:36:56,640 --> 02:36:59,800
Speaker 8: I ever survive? And now we got people who are

2907
02:36:59,840 --> 02:37:02,440
Speaker 8: on their parents' medical and dental plants till their age

2908
02:37:02,480 --> 02:37:07,960
Speaker 8: twenty six. Role models. Let's talk about role models. When

2909
02:37:07,959 --> 02:37:12,440
Speaker 8: my daughter was only one year old, already hanging on

2910
02:37:12,480 --> 02:37:18,600
Speaker 8: the wall above her crib was the mural by Hewless Maverick.

2911
02:37:19,000 --> 02:37:21,280
Speaker 8: For you folks who don't know that name, Hewless h

2912
02:37:21,400 --> 02:37:26,360
Speaker 8: u l s mav r Uk. He's from Turkey, but

2913
02:37:26,440 --> 02:37:30,920
Speaker 8: he loves black folks and he did a famous all

2914
02:37:31,040 --> 02:37:36,280
Speaker 8: black thirty five great Ladies. I had that over my

2915
02:37:36,400 --> 02:37:41,039
Speaker 8: daughter's crib when she was still one year old. That's

2916
02:37:41,080 --> 02:37:44,760
Speaker 8: what she saw as the first thing every morning when

2917
02:37:44,800 --> 02:37:48,000
Speaker 8: she woke up, whenever what time she woke up, because

2918
02:37:48,040 --> 02:37:51,440
Speaker 8: I wanted her to see black women who have been

2919
02:37:51,520 --> 02:37:56,160
Speaker 8: successful in spite of everything. That's who her role model.

2920
02:37:56,320 --> 02:38:00,640
Speaker 8: That's those were her role models from day one when

2921
02:38:00,680 --> 02:38:03,360
Speaker 8: I brought her home from the hospital. So I asked

2922
02:38:03,360 --> 02:38:07,120
Speaker 8: you folks that they're please choose your role models and

2923
02:38:07,160 --> 02:38:12,039
Speaker 8: your causes wisely stop relying on politicians to solve your problems.

2924
02:38:13,040 --> 02:38:19,720
Speaker 8: The word politician literally means liar, conniving, and by deceitful

2925
02:38:19,840 --> 02:38:23,760
Speaker 8: means That is the definition and a dictionary that was

2926
02:38:23,879 --> 02:38:27,960
Speaker 8: issued to me by the US federal government. As long

2927
02:38:27,959 --> 02:38:31,240
Speaker 8: as you folks keep relying on politicians who are liars,

2928
02:38:31,520 --> 02:38:34,959
Speaker 8: they're gonna lie to you. Now, mister Nelson, I'm from Charleston,

2929
02:38:35,000 --> 02:38:39,119
Speaker 8: South Carolina. I'm low country Geechee. I hope the folks

2930
02:38:39,160 --> 02:38:42,240
Speaker 8: out there listening to you we will stop idolizing people

2931
02:38:42,320 --> 02:38:46,600
Speaker 8: like Ellsworth Raymond Bumpy Johnson, who was also from Charleston.

2932
02:38:47,480 --> 02:38:51,040
Speaker 8: This guy was directly responsible for a minimum of forty murders,

2933
02:38:51,120 --> 02:38:53,440
Speaker 8: and I'm not even talking about all the people who

2934
02:38:53,480 --> 02:38:57,200
Speaker 8: die from an overdose of smack, now, mister Nelson. As

2935
02:38:57,200 --> 02:38:59,640
Speaker 8: soon as I was able to walk, I was often

2936
02:38:59,800 --> 02:39:02,760
Speaker 8: wanting the streets of Harlem until age five, because at

2937
02:39:02,800 --> 02:39:04,760
Speaker 8: age five is when I went down to John's Island

2938
02:39:05,080 --> 02:39:08,120
Speaker 8: to live with my grandmother. But before I left New

2939
02:39:08,160 --> 02:39:11,440
Speaker 8: York City, I had a close relative who was considered

2940
02:39:11,560 --> 02:39:15,080
Speaker 8: so bright that as a young child, all the family

2941
02:39:15,080 --> 02:39:19,000
Speaker 8: members called him the Professor. Well, whatever dreams that my

2942
02:39:19,080 --> 02:39:21,920
Speaker 8: family had for his future were snuffed out when he

2943
02:39:22,040 --> 02:39:25,879
Speaker 8: was only a teenager because he overdosed some smack that

2944
02:39:25,920 --> 02:39:29,720
Speaker 8: most likely came from Bumpy Johnson's connection. So if that's

2945
02:39:29,760 --> 02:39:31,560
Speaker 8: the kind of person you focus on a call in

2946
02:39:31,640 --> 02:39:34,840
Speaker 8: and idolize as using an example for some guy who's

2947
02:39:34,920 --> 02:39:38,040
Speaker 8: running from mayor in LA that speaks violues about what's

2948
02:39:38,080 --> 02:39:41,199
Speaker 8: wrong with us as a people. And now you folks

2949
02:39:41,240 --> 02:39:45,560
Speaker 8: are idolizing Don Lemon. I've come on mister Nelson Show

2950
02:39:45,640 --> 02:39:50,280
Speaker 8: since the nineteen nineties warning about the John Birch Society.

2951
02:39:51,600 --> 02:39:54,920
Speaker 8: I'll let me refresh your memory, folks, Don Lemon was

2952
02:39:54,959 --> 02:39:59,360
Speaker 8: a proud Republican who helped put John Bursus Society Ronald

2953
02:39:59,480 --> 02:40:02,520
Speaker 8: Reagan in the White House. Don't believe me, look it

2954
02:40:02,600 --> 02:40:06,480
Speaker 8: up for yourself. All Donald Trump is doing who's also

2955
02:40:06,600 --> 02:40:11,320
Speaker 8: John ber Society is simply finishing what Reagan's Iran contra

2956
02:40:11,440 --> 02:40:14,120
Speaker 8: war criminals started. And right now as I speak to you,

2957
02:40:14,280 --> 02:40:17,560
Speaker 8: all three branches of the federal government in DC are

2958
02:40:17,600 --> 02:40:22,000
Speaker 8: controlled by the John Bers Society, Council on National Policy,

2959
02:40:22,560 --> 02:40:26,600
Speaker 8: and Western Goals Foundation, along with their computer gig techs.

2960
02:40:26,840 --> 02:40:31,680
Speaker 8: The dark Enlightenment people are talking about nineteen eighty four

2961
02:40:31,800 --> 02:40:35,840
Speaker 8: surveillance from the Pallenteer. But they never discussed the connection

2962
02:40:35,959 --> 02:40:41,680
Speaker 8: between Iran contra war criminal Admiral John Point Dexter and

2963
02:40:41,800 --> 02:40:45,280
Speaker 8: the apartheid South African computer geeks like Peter Thiel and

2964
02:40:45,400 --> 02:40:51,480
Speaker 8: Elon Musk that goes back decades. In fact, Point Dexter

2965
02:40:51,600 --> 02:40:55,240
Speaker 8: is considered the father of surveillance with Palenteer in this country.

2966
02:40:55,680 --> 02:40:58,840
Speaker 8: These are all Iran conscious people who war criminals who

2967
02:40:58,920 --> 02:41:01,720
Speaker 8: come back. I guess Aline North won't come back. He's

2968
02:41:01,959 --> 02:41:05,880
Speaker 8: not that his wife's dead. He's married Fawn Hall. You know, folks,

2969
02:41:06,120 --> 02:41:08,480
Speaker 8: when Oli North was in charge of the war on

2970
02:41:08,600 --> 02:41:11,600
Speaker 8: drugs and Fawn Hall was doing the best cocaine off

2971
02:41:11,640 --> 02:41:14,520
Speaker 8: all these deaths right in his office. Well now they're married,

2972
02:41:14,600 --> 02:41:17,400
Speaker 8: So since he's already upset the NRA, he's probably just

2973
02:41:17,480 --> 02:41:19,960
Speaker 8: quietly fade away. But a lot of the stuff that's

2974
02:41:19,959 --> 02:41:26,120
Speaker 8: happening now, Ali North was the architect for let's be honest, folks,

2975
02:41:26,440 --> 02:41:31,720
Speaker 8: stop celebrating the lies with meaningless crap like Juneteenth as

2976
02:41:31,800 --> 02:41:36,320
Speaker 8: a national holiday, when right here in California during election

2977
02:41:36,560 --> 02:41:43,080
Speaker 8: year twenty twenty four, so called liberal California, the majority

2978
02:41:43,240 --> 02:41:48,800
Speaker 8: of voters voted against stop using jail and prison inmates

2979
02:41:48,800 --> 02:41:52,720
Speaker 8: for slave labor. You know, this is the same state

2980
02:41:52,720 --> 02:41:57,360
Speaker 8: where Attorney General Kambla. Harris, when the Supreme Court ordered

2981
02:41:57,360 --> 02:42:02,480
Speaker 8: her to reduce the population California prisons, she said, well,

2982
02:42:02,520 --> 02:42:04,640
Speaker 8: I can't do that because I need them to go

2983
02:42:04,640 --> 02:42:07,880
Speaker 8: out and fight though California wildfires. But that's who you

2984
02:42:07,920 --> 02:42:09,879
Speaker 8: all put on a pedestal and have running for president.

2985
02:42:11,120 --> 02:42:15,320
Speaker 8: You also have to learn how not to be a target.

2986
02:42:15,640 --> 02:42:17,360
Speaker 8: What I'm saying, don't go out of your way to

2987
02:42:17,360 --> 02:42:20,280
Speaker 8: be a target. Now, mister Nelson, I'm not going to

2988
02:42:20,320 --> 02:42:21,880
Speaker 8: say where she works because I know if I stay

2989
02:42:21,920 --> 02:42:23,960
Speaker 8: on this phone when she works, she'll lose her job.

2990
02:42:24,000 --> 02:42:25,640
Speaker 8: In fact, if I wanted to make one phone call,

2991
02:42:25,680 --> 02:42:28,600
Speaker 8: she would have lost her job. But last week I

2992
02:42:28,640 --> 02:42:31,520
Speaker 8: went to a certain location where I go on a

2993
02:42:31,560 --> 02:42:35,040
Speaker 8: regular basis, and every time this black woman is working there,

2994
02:42:36,200 --> 02:42:39,640
Speaker 8: I try to avoid her because she has no personality.

2995
02:42:39,680 --> 02:42:44,920
Speaker 8: She has the personality of a coal wet, greasy dish cloth. Okay,

2996
02:42:45,600 --> 02:42:49,280
Speaker 8: but on this particular occasion, I had to make contact

2997
02:42:49,320 --> 02:42:52,120
Speaker 8: with her. So you know, I'm being personal. I'm being fine.

2998
02:42:54,240 --> 02:42:57,520
Speaker 8: As always, she was rude, she was curt but in

2999
02:42:57,560 --> 02:43:02,160
Speaker 8: spite of all of her lacking and professional demeanor. I'm like,

3000
02:43:02,200 --> 02:43:04,160
Speaker 8: you know, let me help the sister out. I'm like,

3001
02:43:04,520 --> 02:43:06,840
Speaker 8: is that your vehicle parked out there in the parking lot?

3002
02:43:07,000 --> 02:43:07,320
Speaker 3: Yeah?

3003
02:43:07,360 --> 02:43:10,480
Speaker 8: Why, well, you do know in the state of California,

3004
02:43:11,040 --> 02:43:14,600
Speaker 8: you're not allowed to have any plastic or glass covering

3005
02:43:14,640 --> 02:43:18,920
Speaker 8: your license plates. Before I even got the words out

3006
02:43:18,959 --> 02:43:21,200
Speaker 8: of my mouth, mister Nelson, this is what this black

3007
02:43:21,200 --> 02:43:23,120
Speaker 8: woman says to me. I did that on my license

3008
02:43:23,120 --> 02:43:25,520
Speaker 8: plate for five years. I ain't never had no problem,

3009
02:43:25,760 --> 02:43:27,400
Speaker 8: so I know I'm not going to argue with her.

3010
02:43:27,879 --> 02:43:30,720
Speaker 8: I said, you won't. When you do have a problem,

3011
02:43:30,840 --> 02:43:34,400
Speaker 8: You're going to remember this conversation because Donald Trump's ice

3012
02:43:34,480 --> 02:43:38,000
Speaker 8: boys ain't playing now, mister Nelson, we just had a

3013
02:43:38,000 --> 02:43:41,760
Speaker 8: big controversial instat in here in Fullerton a week ago

3014
02:43:42,320 --> 02:43:45,680
Speaker 8: because Fullerton police now are being accused of assisting ice.

3015
02:43:46,800 --> 02:43:48,800
Speaker 8: And I won't say what she works, but I'll just

3016
02:43:48,800 --> 02:43:51,320
Speaker 8: say she was less than three miles from where that

3017
02:43:51,360 --> 02:43:54,280
Speaker 8: incident happened. We got ICE agents out here right now.

3018
02:43:55,400 --> 02:43:57,720
Speaker 8: I can't even believe she's been driving with those license

3019
02:43:57,760 --> 02:44:00,360
Speaker 8: plates for five years that she claims. And I don't

3020
02:44:00,360 --> 02:44:02,040
Speaker 8: believe it was five years because her vehicle is not

3021
02:44:02,080 --> 02:44:04,960
Speaker 8: even five years old. But what I'm saying to you

3022
02:44:05,720 --> 02:44:08,080
Speaker 8: the reason in California, and I think, mister Nelson, you

3023
02:44:08,080 --> 02:44:09,800
Speaker 8: and I had a discussion that even Florida and not

3024
02:44:09,879 --> 02:44:11,800
Speaker 8: has passed a similar law. Is that correct?

3025
02:44:12,560 --> 02:44:12,959
Speaker 1: Correct?

3026
02:44:13,640 --> 02:44:15,640
Speaker 8: Do you remember why I told you those kinds of

3027
02:44:15,720 --> 02:44:16,480
Speaker 8: laws will passed?

3028
02:44:17,360 --> 02:44:17,400
Speaker 9: No?

3029
02:44:18,480 --> 02:44:21,320
Speaker 8: Exactly? I like, are you putting me back on the spot, folks?

3030
02:44:21,360 --> 02:44:23,680
Speaker 8: The reason they don't want you to have this glass

3031
02:44:23,720 --> 02:44:26,960
Speaker 8: of plactic plastic covering over your license plate at night.

3032
02:44:27,440 --> 02:44:30,920
Speaker 8: If the patrol vehicle or any law enforcement vehicle is

3033
02:44:30,959 --> 02:44:34,000
Speaker 8: trying to read your license plates, the head lights reflect

3034
02:44:34,200 --> 02:44:36,959
Speaker 8: back then too, they can't read it. Now, this woman

3035
02:44:36,920 --> 02:44:40,560
Speaker 8: with mister Nelson, she not only had glass covering over

3036
02:44:40,600 --> 02:44:43,880
Speaker 8: her license plates, they were dark tinted. So that tells

3037
02:44:43,879 --> 02:44:46,280
Speaker 8: me she probably drives on the toll roads, doesn't pay them,

3038
02:44:47,120 --> 02:44:51,039
Speaker 8: and the surveillance cameras can't take her license plate. Why

3039
02:44:51,200 --> 02:44:53,360
Speaker 8: in Orange conye of California. Because I'm just going to

3040
02:44:53,400 --> 02:44:55,200
Speaker 8: tell you, folks, I've had my share of driving while

3041
02:44:55,280 --> 02:44:59,080
Speaker 8: black being pullover? Why would you go out of your way?

3042
02:44:59,480 --> 02:45:01,640
Speaker 8: All of her windows in her vehicle a dark tennant

3043
02:45:01,680 --> 02:45:04,720
Speaker 8: illegally and then she's going to have dark tenant covering

3044
02:45:04,800 --> 02:45:08,560
Speaker 8: over her license plate. She's just begging to be stopped,

3045
02:45:08,800 --> 02:45:13,240
Speaker 8: and with her attitude, she's gonna probably get dumped, if

3046
02:45:13,240 --> 02:45:16,000
Speaker 8: not worse. So I'm just asking you folks out there,

3047
02:45:16,360 --> 02:45:18,680
Speaker 8: don't go out of your way to be a target.

3048
02:45:19,840 --> 02:45:21,600
Speaker 8: That's crazy. With all the stuff going on in this

3049
02:45:21,640 --> 02:45:25,440
Speaker 8: country right now, learn how to win the battle, but

3050
02:45:25,520 --> 02:45:28,800
Speaker 8: don't win the war. Instead of getting in the faces

3051
02:45:28,840 --> 02:45:32,840
Speaker 8: of these law enforcement personnel, if you have a legitimate complaint,

3052
02:45:33,360 --> 02:45:36,400
Speaker 8: simply follow the directions and later on go to the

3053
02:45:36,440 --> 02:45:40,680
Speaker 8: station and file your complaint. Don't get in these guys'

3054
02:45:40,680 --> 02:45:43,720
Speaker 8: faces and then having them with their little man complex

3055
02:45:45,080 --> 02:45:48,000
Speaker 8: challenge their authority, and then you end up getting your ticket,

3056
02:45:48,920 --> 02:45:51,360
Speaker 8: the victim of a use of force, or worse, end

3057
02:45:51,440 --> 02:45:54,840
Speaker 8: up dead. You know, we always joke about these comedians

3058
02:45:54,840 --> 02:45:57,640
Speaker 8: who make these videos about what to do when you're

3059
02:45:57,680 --> 02:45:59,960
Speaker 8: on a traffic stop, and yet all of a sudden

3060
02:46:00,040 --> 02:46:01,800
Speaker 8: we got these protests and stuff, and you guys have

3061
02:46:01,840 --> 02:46:03,640
Speaker 8: seen the this throwing all that out the window and

3062
02:46:03,680 --> 02:46:06,600
Speaker 8: think you can say and do whatever you want. Please,

3063
02:46:07,680 --> 02:46:09,720
Speaker 8: now I'm gonna put you on this spot, mister Nelson.

3064
02:46:10,120 --> 02:46:12,600
Speaker 8: Is there anything that Ice is doing that we've been

3065
02:46:12,640 --> 02:46:17,360
Speaker 8: seeing on television that local cops haven't been doing to

3066
02:46:17,440 --> 02:46:20,600
Speaker 8: us since we've been on this you know, since you

3067
02:46:20,640 --> 02:46:24,360
Speaker 8: and I have been on this planet. Nope, So why

3068
02:46:24,720 --> 02:46:30,000
Speaker 8: exactly like this is something new? Seriously, So what I

3069
02:46:30,040 --> 02:46:33,720
Speaker 8: would like you folks please try to learn your history,

3070
02:46:33,920 --> 02:46:38,160
Speaker 8: our history, and pass it down the younger folks. Sadly,

3071
02:46:38,560 --> 02:46:42,320
Speaker 8: for more than two decades, when I was still on Fakebook,

3072
02:46:42,760 --> 02:46:46,240
Speaker 8: I was the administrator for a black history social media

3073
02:46:46,320 --> 02:46:50,879
Speaker 8: site and I entitled it Sepia Legacy, black History, not

3074
02:46:51,240 --> 02:46:55,560
Speaker 8: his story, mister Nelson, less than twenty percent of the

3075
02:46:55,600 --> 02:47:00,119
Speaker 8: people on that site were black, sixty percent were white,

3076
02:47:00,640 --> 02:47:04,560
Speaker 8: and the rest were either Latino and Asian. White folks

3077
02:47:04,600 --> 02:47:06,959
Speaker 8: are reading my stuff and learning about our history, but

3078
02:47:07,040 --> 02:47:10,959
Speaker 8: our own people aren't. Now, since I'm no longer on

3079
02:47:11,600 --> 02:47:14,280
Speaker 8: you know, since Zuckerberg kicks the ring, I'm no longer

3080
02:47:14,280 --> 02:47:17,440
Speaker 8: allowed to be on Instagram or Fakebook, so I'm on LinkedIn,

3081
02:47:17,480 --> 02:47:20,360
Speaker 8: where I see all these educated black people and they

3082
02:47:20,400 --> 02:47:25,400
Speaker 8: brag with their PhDs and all their degrees behind their names.

3083
02:47:25,840 --> 02:47:29,240
Speaker 8: And mister Nelson's sad to say, most of the black

3084
02:47:29,360 --> 02:47:32,760
Speaker 8: history that I see these educated black folks posting on

3085
02:47:32,800 --> 02:47:38,720
Speaker 8: LinkedIn is inaccurate. So when white folks see black folks

3086
02:47:38,760 --> 02:47:43,160
Speaker 8: saying something, they assume it's accurate when it's about black history.

3087
02:47:43,520 --> 02:47:45,640
Speaker 8: But you know, most of these highly educated black folks

3088
02:47:45,680 --> 02:47:48,640
Speaker 8: still repeat that Rosa Parks is the queen mother of

3089
02:47:48,680 --> 02:47:52,879
Speaker 8: the civil rights movement. My baby sit a September Clark

3090
02:47:52,959 --> 02:47:56,080
Speaker 8: on John's Island is the true queen mother of the

3091
02:47:56,080 --> 02:47:59,200
Speaker 8: civil rights movement. And I knew both Rosa Parks and

3092
02:47:59,280 --> 02:48:02,760
Speaker 8: September Clark. And many of these highly educated black folks

3093
02:48:02,840 --> 02:48:06,800
Speaker 8: on LinkedIn, they despised me when I share history dispelling

3094
02:48:06,879 --> 02:48:10,119
Speaker 8: their urban legends. And you know the sad thing about it,

3095
02:48:10,200 --> 02:48:11,960
Speaker 8: most of these folks who have these books out there,

3096
02:48:12,000 --> 02:48:14,400
Speaker 8: their books are nothing more than their thesis that they

3097
02:48:14,560 --> 02:48:18,560
Speaker 8: use to become PhDs or their masters. Then they turn

3098
02:48:18,600 --> 02:48:21,160
Speaker 8: it into a book like it's the gospel. And so

3099
02:48:21,280 --> 02:48:25,000
Speaker 8: much of it is misinformation and disinformation and outright lives

3100
02:48:25,680 --> 02:48:28,400
Speaker 8: so much to other. When I left LAPD, I returned

3101
02:48:28,400 --> 02:48:32,240
Speaker 8: to surfing. Now I was coaching and mentoring twelve to

3102
02:48:32,360 --> 02:48:35,560
Speaker 8: seventeen year old surfers from around the world who had

3103
02:48:35,600 --> 02:48:39,720
Speaker 8: little money, no coach, no sponsor. I never charged the

3104
02:48:39,800 --> 02:48:42,880
Speaker 8: dime for those of us out there who maybe are

3105
02:48:42,959 --> 02:48:46,160
Speaker 8: retired now take that time to go back and mentor

3106
02:48:46,240 --> 02:48:49,360
Speaker 8: other people. Now, the sad thing for me, mister Nelson,

3107
02:48:49,400 --> 02:48:52,080
Speaker 8: more than ninety five percent of my serfers were young females,

3108
02:48:52,560 --> 02:48:55,520
Speaker 8: and my only regret is that few black female surfers

3109
02:48:56,440 --> 02:48:58,400
Speaker 8: was you know, I never got to coach any of them.

3110
02:48:59,080 --> 02:49:02,160
Speaker 8: The ones who I did votes because most of my

3111
02:49:02,240 --> 02:49:05,840
Speaker 8: surfers were either from South America and that's Argentina, Chile,

3112
02:49:05,920 --> 02:49:09,640
Speaker 8: Costa Rica, Columbia, ecuadorf Rule in Venezuela. If they weren't

3113
02:49:09,680 --> 02:49:11,760
Speaker 8: from South America, they were probably from France or the

3114
02:49:11,840 --> 02:49:15,120
Speaker 8: French territories. And I did have two black females that

3115
02:49:15,240 --> 02:49:17,400
Speaker 8: I spent some time with from the continent of Africa.

3116
02:49:17,680 --> 02:49:20,920
Speaker 8: But if there was one regret that I had, because

3117
02:49:20,920 --> 02:49:22,440
Speaker 8: if a few folks to who don't know it and

3118
02:49:22,480 --> 02:49:26,080
Speaker 8: are not bragging, just fact in the past two Olympics,

3119
02:49:27,120 --> 02:49:29,760
Speaker 8: probably thirty percent of the females in both of those

3120
02:49:29,800 --> 02:49:33,280
Speaker 8: Olympics were female surfers who I have coached and mentored

3121
02:49:33,320 --> 02:49:36,400
Speaker 8: in the past. But you know, black folks can't swim.

3122
02:49:36,840 --> 02:49:38,760
Speaker 8: So I'm just saying, mister Nelson, there are a lot

3123
02:49:38,800 --> 02:49:41,040
Speaker 8: of things that we can do. And I was so

3124
02:49:41,080 --> 02:49:44,879
Speaker 8: happy this morning that the previous guests mentioned the word poohba.

3125
02:49:45,720 --> 02:49:49,560
Speaker 8: We got to stop this talented tenth mentality. As a

3126
02:49:49,680 --> 02:49:53,560
Speaker 8: US Marine, when I nconned bigotry, there were no blacks,

3127
02:49:53,600 --> 02:49:58,200
Speaker 8: including the National Naval Officers Association. They never assisted me

3128
02:49:58,680 --> 02:50:02,400
Speaker 8: because I was not a member some fraternity or Masonic organization.

3129
02:50:03,240 --> 02:50:08,560
Speaker 8: Same thing true at LAPD when I encountered bigotry, no blacks,

3130
02:50:08,680 --> 02:50:12,359
Speaker 8: including the Oscar Joel brying A Foundation. They never assisted

3131
02:50:12,400 --> 02:50:14,879
Speaker 8: me because I was not a member of some fraternity

3132
02:50:14,959 --> 02:50:17,880
Speaker 8: or a Masonic organization. Mister ns, I actually had OJB

3133
02:50:18,000 --> 02:50:20,400
Speaker 8: members hoping that I would lose my job, and I

3134
02:50:20,560 --> 02:50:23,800
Speaker 8: was a dues paying OJB member for more than two

3135
02:50:23,840 --> 02:50:27,480
Speaker 8: decades in the Marine Corps and LAPD. Why you folks

3136
02:50:27,520 --> 02:50:30,920
Speaker 8: are always talking this black stuff. It was decent white

3137
02:50:30,959 --> 02:50:34,040
Speaker 8: folks who came to my assistant when I was facing

3138
02:50:34,080 --> 02:50:38,520
Speaker 8: bigotry in those agencies. In fact, before I left LAPD,

3139
02:50:39,120 --> 02:50:42,040
Speaker 8: there was white folks who filed a lawsuit that I

3140
02:50:42,120 --> 02:50:45,880
Speaker 8: wasn't even aware of, and they filed it in behalf

3141
02:50:45,920 --> 02:50:49,520
Speaker 8: of me because they knew corrupt Bratton and his cronies

3142
02:50:49,720 --> 02:50:52,880
Speaker 8: and when I say cronies, those were all black LAPD

3143
02:50:52,959 --> 02:50:55,360
Speaker 8: deputy chiefs. When they were trying to run me out

3144
02:50:55,400 --> 02:50:59,560
Speaker 8: of LAPD, there was white folks who filed a lawsuit

3145
02:50:59,600 --> 02:51:01,959
Speaker 8: that I was even aware of, and the money I

3146
02:51:02,000 --> 02:51:04,600
Speaker 8: got from that laws who helped me sustain myself until

3147
02:51:04,640 --> 02:51:07,360
Speaker 8: I finally started getting my pension. So you folks can

3148
02:51:07,400 --> 02:51:09,520
Speaker 8: talk all this black stuff you want, but a lot

3149
02:51:09,600 --> 02:51:12,400
Speaker 8: of folks with your skins because they're skin folks don't

3150
02:51:12,400 --> 02:51:14,600
Speaker 8: mean their kinfolk. And I've dealt with a lot more

3151
02:51:14,720 --> 02:51:17,160
Speaker 8: negativity from people who look as I do than I

3152
02:51:17,240 --> 02:51:20,000
Speaker 8: have from people who don't look like I do. And

3153
02:51:20,040 --> 02:51:23,039
Speaker 8: how did the talent the tenth mentality workout last year?

3154
02:51:23,080 --> 02:51:27,160
Speaker 8: Because I saw thousands of black Fraternity and Masonic folks

3155
02:51:27,280 --> 02:51:29,760
Speaker 8: lose their federal jobs even though they throw up the

3156
02:51:29,800 --> 02:51:33,960
Speaker 8: same devil bathamint hand sign as Anton Leabay and Donald

3157
02:51:34,000 --> 02:51:36,680
Speaker 8: Trump threw up. So you know, missing us, we live

3158
02:51:36,680 --> 02:51:38,800
Speaker 8: in this filthy like Dick Gray, you used to always

3159
02:51:38,800 --> 02:51:41,720
Speaker 8: say how filthy this nation is. So it's no surprise

3160
02:51:41,800 --> 02:51:43,879
Speaker 8: to me. When we come back from the break, I'll

3161
02:51:43,879 --> 02:51:45,760
Speaker 8: finish this and get off my pedestal so we can

3162
02:51:45,760 --> 02:51:46,119
Speaker 8: take some.

3163
02:51:46,120 --> 02:51:49,039
Speaker 1: Calls but all right, twenty three away from the top

3164
02:51:49,040 --> 02:51:51,200
Speaker 1: of that with mar from Mannaheim Family, call up your

3165
02:51:51,200 --> 02:51:52,920
Speaker 1: friends and telling Mark's on the radio and we'll take

3166
02:51:52,959 --> 02:51:55,879
Speaker 1: your phone calls for him next and Grand Rising family,

3167
02:51:55,959 --> 02:51:58,600
Speaker 1: thanks for staying with us on this Wednesday morning here

3168
02:51:58,600 --> 02:52:01,360
Speaker 1: with Mark from Mannaheim. Let you finish your thoughts.

3169
02:52:01,640 --> 02:52:03,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, bit, you are putting me on the pedal sto

3170
02:52:04,440 --> 02:52:07,000
Speaker 8: what I was saying before the break, how did that

3171
02:52:07,080 --> 02:52:11,240
Speaker 8: talented tenth mentality work last year? Because I saw thousands

3172
02:52:11,280 --> 02:52:15,680
Speaker 8: of black fraternity and Masonic folks lose their federal jobs.

3173
02:52:16,120 --> 02:52:18,440
Speaker 8: And these are the people who are members of organizations

3174
02:52:18,480 --> 02:52:21,880
Speaker 8: who throw up the same demonic bathroom at hand sign

3175
02:52:21,959 --> 02:52:25,520
Speaker 8: as Anton LeVay from the Church of Satan, Donald Trump,

3176
02:52:25,800 --> 02:52:27,960
Speaker 8: and a whole bunch of other leaders. And I've got

3177
02:52:27,959 --> 02:52:31,879
Speaker 8: the photographs to prove it. So to me, with all

3178
02:52:31,920 --> 02:52:34,959
Speaker 8: this filth going on, there was no surprise that the

3179
02:52:35,040 --> 02:52:42,480
Speaker 8: film Sinners, which glorifies black followers of a white fallen angel,

3180
02:52:43,560 --> 02:52:46,760
Speaker 8: now has the record for the most Academy Award nominations.

3181
02:52:47,440 --> 02:52:49,760
Speaker 8: And today, mister Nelson, here right here in downtown LA

3182
02:52:50,320 --> 02:52:53,039
Speaker 8: there's a Catholic church that's going to hold a peace

3183
02:52:53,200 --> 02:52:57,360
Speaker 8: prayer for everybody to come and pray for peace because

3184
02:52:57,400 --> 02:53:02,240
Speaker 8: of all the recent ice rays. I will never step

3185
02:53:02,320 --> 02:53:06,320
Speaker 8: foot and the Lady of Angels Church in downtown LA

3186
02:53:07,400 --> 02:53:12,360
Speaker 8: because that church is built on top of a sacred

3187
02:53:12,640 --> 02:53:18,320
Speaker 8: burial ground for the Shoshone Native indigenous people. And when

3188
02:53:18,360 --> 02:53:22,160
Speaker 8: they protested that church being built there, the City of

3189
02:53:22,280 --> 02:53:25,800
Speaker 8: La with their corruption along with Mahoney, Cardinal Mahoney and

3190
02:53:25,800 --> 02:53:30,119
Speaker 8: the Catholic Church did it. Anyway, that's when Mike Riden

3191
02:53:30,360 --> 02:53:34,080
Speaker 8: was the mayor. You know, Knights of Malta ridden. So missing.

3192
02:53:34,280 --> 02:53:35,920
Speaker 8: What I'm saying is we just live in this whole

3193
02:53:35,959 --> 02:53:39,280
Speaker 8: total hypocrisy. We can come on this radio show and

3194
02:53:39,320 --> 02:53:42,400
Speaker 8: say what other folks are doing to us, we're doing

3195
02:53:42,440 --> 02:53:45,440
Speaker 8: it to ourselves. And there's nothing I'm sharing with you

3196
02:53:45,480 --> 02:53:48,600
Speaker 8: this morning that anybody couldn't find if they look it up.

3197
02:53:48,640 --> 02:53:52,480
Speaker 8: When it comes to Santa Claus Sprite, Christmas, Jesus Christ

3198
02:53:52,480 --> 02:53:56,680
Speaker 8: being a Palestinian. Okay, but you got that white Jesus

3199
02:53:56,680 --> 02:54:01,080
Speaker 8: in the wall. So I'm done, mister Nelson. I'm all

3200
02:54:01,360 --> 02:54:03,040
Speaker 8: is for anybody who would like to call in.

3201
02:54:03,959 --> 02:54:07,800
Speaker 1: All right, Jean's calling Eddies and Pikesville, Maryland. He's online one.

3202
02:54:07,800 --> 02:54:10,400
Speaker 1: He has a question for you, Jean grand Rise, you.

3203
02:54:10,360 --> 02:54:13,600
Speaker 13: Know with Mark from a great Yeah, great grand Rising. Guys, Mark,

3204
02:54:13,720 --> 02:54:16,680
Speaker 13: thank you very much for all you do. If I

3205
02:54:16,760 --> 02:54:20,120
Speaker 13: mentioned Barbara Rossa and I mentioned Martin Luser, we know

3206
02:54:20,240 --> 02:54:23,560
Speaker 13: Martin Luther king is, but his namesake Barbara Rossa, and

3207
02:54:23,600 --> 02:54:28,240
Speaker 13: if I also mentioned the Mediceese and the what were

3208
02:54:28,240 --> 02:54:31,920
Speaker 13: the other ones called the the people who control the

3209
02:54:31,920 --> 02:54:34,840
Speaker 13: popes of the Catholic Church. When people know who I'm

3210
02:54:34,840 --> 02:54:38,920
Speaker 13: talking about, Mark, But my main question is you think

3211
02:54:38,959 --> 02:54:42,920
Speaker 13: about the police. But my main question is centered around

3212
02:54:44,240 --> 02:54:47,959
Speaker 13: you know what okay out to be Wells.

3213
02:54:47,840 --> 02:54:48,200
Speaker 9: In the.

3214
02:54:49,720 --> 02:54:53,040
Speaker 13: What was it called the East Saint Louis Massacre. It

3215
02:54:53,120 --> 02:54:56,200
Speaker 13: book is like nineteen pages, I think. And she went

3216
02:54:56,240 --> 02:54:58,959
Speaker 13: there and as a journalist called, she went there and

3217
02:54:59,000 --> 02:55:03,240
Speaker 13: reported on a mass where the in the East Louis

3218
02:55:03,560 --> 02:55:08,959
Speaker 13: was the East Saint Louis, Illinois, where the Illinois National

3219
02:55:08,959 --> 02:55:13,240
Speaker 13: Guard came and killed black people. They shot him down

3220
02:55:13,320 --> 02:55:13,960
Speaker 13: like dogs.

3221
02:55:15,879 --> 02:55:16,840
Speaker 5: Another market.

3222
02:55:18,480 --> 02:55:19,920
Speaker 1: Because we got some more folks want to talk to

3223
02:55:19,959 --> 02:55:20,960
Speaker 1: them racing. Thank you.

3224
02:55:20,959 --> 02:55:24,600
Speaker 8: It's's interesting, missus Nelson that he mentions Ida b Wells

3225
02:55:24,640 --> 02:55:26,440
Speaker 8: because she's one of the black women that's in that

3226
02:55:26,680 --> 02:55:32,840
Speaker 8: thirty five women on the walls of my daughters. But sadly, brother,

3227
02:55:33,800 --> 02:55:37,279
Speaker 8: we know about some of these. That's in this country.

3228
02:55:37,720 --> 02:55:41,480
Speaker 8: That's like Wednesday. I'm not being facetious, and.

3229
02:55:41,520 --> 02:55:42,760
Speaker 3: It was not just black brought it up.

3230
02:55:42,800 --> 02:55:43,640
Speaker 13: I'm just following it up.

3231
02:55:43,680 --> 02:55:44,240
Speaker 3: You brought it up.

3232
02:55:44,640 --> 02:55:47,680
Speaker 8: So I'm just saying that's not unusual for this country.

3233
02:55:48,680 --> 02:55:54,520
Speaker 13: Oh no, no, it's not. It's very usual. Yeah, yeah, Brownsville, Texas.

3234
02:55:54,920 --> 02:55:59,480
Speaker 13: And then in Houston. Remember in Houston, actually American black

3235
02:55:59,600 --> 02:56:05,120
Speaker 13: soldiers is killed American white soldiers and some civilians and policemen,

3236
02:56:05,720 --> 02:56:09,640
Speaker 13: and they were they were executed, they were what do

3237
02:56:09,680 --> 02:56:12,360
Speaker 13: you call it a firing squad. They were killed on

3238
02:56:12,520 --> 02:56:16,360
Speaker 13: fier squads. A lot of them got life sentences in prison.

3239
02:56:16,720 --> 02:56:19,760
Speaker 13: And I've never heard any Black history months since it's

3240
02:56:19,800 --> 02:56:24,760
Speaker 13: been created, anybody talking about black people rising up and

3241
02:56:25,959 --> 02:56:28,879
Speaker 13: killing white people in America. Never hear those twoies.

3242
02:56:28,879 --> 02:56:30,440
Speaker 1: All right, Jean, let's give me my chance to respond.

3243
02:56:30,480 --> 02:56:31,840
Speaker 1: We got some other folks, got questions.

3244
02:56:31,879 --> 02:56:34,840
Speaker 8: I'm glad. I'm glad that the brother coined it in

3245
02:56:34,959 --> 02:56:40,920
Speaker 8: that sense. You go to white clubs, they love black bouncers.

3246
02:56:41,200 --> 02:56:46,080
Speaker 8: Why white girls asked stupid ma'am. Please get down, ma'am,

3247
02:56:46,240 --> 02:56:49,360
Speaker 8: Please get down, ma'am, please get down. White boy is

3248
02:56:49,360 --> 02:56:51,520
Speaker 8: a bouncer. He gonna tell that white girl one time

3249
02:56:51,640 --> 02:56:52,680
Speaker 8: and he's gonna knock her on her.

3250
02:56:55,879 --> 02:56:58,200
Speaker 1: Does Jane do us a favor? Think about other folks?

3251
02:56:58,280 --> 02:57:01,440
Speaker 13: Man, Come on, So what I'm just say, come out, goodbye,

3252
02:57:01,560 --> 02:57:03,560
Speaker 13: you listen off here, man, God bless.

3253
02:57:03,320 --> 02:57:03,920
Speaker 1: You, thank you.

3254
02:57:04,400 --> 02:57:06,400
Speaker 8: So what I'm saying is the Brothers brings up a

3255
02:57:06,440 --> 02:57:10,320
Speaker 8: good point. We make the greatest people who serve white

3256
02:57:10,360 --> 02:57:13,240
Speaker 8: folks because we mister, I'll just make this quick, because

3257
02:57:13,240 --> 02:57:16,640
Speaker 8: I know you get other calls. I've never known a

3258
02:57:16,840 --> 02:57:21,520
Speaker 8: black cop to shoot and kill an undercovered white coup

3259
02:57:21,720 --> 02:57:23,640
Speaker 8: or an off duty cop. But I can damn sure

3260
02:57:23,760 --> 02:57:25,280
Speaker 8: tell you a lot of stories the other way around.

3261
02:57:28,560 --> 02:57:30,879
Speaker 1: All right, twelve away from the top of Brother Calls

3262
02:57:30,959 --> 02:57:33,160
Speaker 1: has called for Waldolph on line too. He has a

3263
02:57:33,240 --> 02:57:35,200
Speaker 1: question for your grand Rising. Brother calls you on with

3264
02:57:35,320 --> 02:57:36,080
Speaker 1: mar from Anaheim.

3265
02:57:36,879 --> 02:57:40,320
Speaker 12: Grand Rising, Grand Rising, thank you for the information. Listen,

3266
02:57:41,080 --> 02:57:43,400
Speaker 12: I can I can validate what you said about the

3267
02:57:43,480 --> 02:57:47,040
Speaker 12: license plates not having the plexi glass or the glass

3268
02:57:47,120 --> 02:57:49,760
Speaker 12: over the license plates that gives them an excuse to

3269
02:57:49,800 --> 02:57:52,440
Speaker 12: stop you. I've had it done to me. But anyway,

3270
02:57:52,920 --> 02:57:57,840
Speaker 12: my question is that is with all the forces militarized

3271
02:57:57,920 --> 02:58:01,680
Speaker 12: against us, with the guns that is, uh, you got

3272
02:58:01,720 --> 02:58:04,800
Speaker 12: the army, the Navy, and so forth, You've got ice,

3273
02:58:05,320 --> 02:58:08,560
Speaker 12: and you've even got the state police and so forth,

3274
02:58:09,160 --> 02:58:12,560
Speaker 12: do we have any chance a snowball's chance in hell

3275
02:58:13,280 --> 02:58:16,920
Speaker 12: of defending ourselves with the far arms that we have

3276
02:58:17,840 --> 02:58:21,000
Speaker 12: in our own possession. It seems to me that that

3277
02:58:21,320 --> 02:58:26,400
Speaker 12: that that day has passed long past of us rising

3278
02:58:26,520 --> 02:58:29,640
Speaker 12: up with arms to try to do something to take

3279
02:58:29,720 --> 02:58:32,680
Speaker 12: over the government or to stop the oppression.

3280
02:58:33,320 --> 02:58:39,760
Speaker 8: So when you say we rise up, who's we, sir?

3281
02:58:40,920 --> 02:58:41,560
Speaker 1: What the callus?

3282
02:58:43,120 --> 02:58:45,640
Speaker 8: Okay, I'm just gonna go with it. If the brothers

3283
02:58:45,720 --> 02:58:48,680
Speaker 8: referring to we as black folks, let me get something

3284
02:58:48,760 --> 02:58:52,879
Speaker 8: perfectly clear to you. I have never, and I never

3285
02:58:53,040 --> 02:58:57,560
Speaker 8: will tell black people to rise up. I would tell

3286
02:58:57,959 --> 02:59:00,240
Speaker 8: no people to rise up. If you think you're going

3287
02:59:00,280 --> 02:59:02,880
Speaker 8: to go up against the US armed forces, you have

3288
02:59:03,000 --> 02:59:07,400
Speaker 8: been smoking some good weed. Okay. This civil war that

3289
02:59:07,520 --> 02:59:11,360
Speaker 8: I've been warning about has already begun. The first day

3290
02:59:11,440 --> 02:59:14,920
Speaker 8: after Donald Trump was announced as the winner, for more

3291
02:59:15,000 --> 02:59:19,280
Speaker 8: than a week, the number one Internet search was how

3292
02:59:19,400 --> 02:59:23,040
Speaker 8: can I change my vote because white folks realize they

3293
02:59:23,120 --> 02:59:26,440
Speaker 8: screwed up. Nobody's even talking about the twenty million people

3294
02:59:26,480 --> 02:59:31,200
Speaker 8: who has lost their medicarians anyway. These folks are angry

3295
02:59:31,320 --> 02:59:33,360
Speaker 8: and a lot of them are armed. The Civil War

3296
02:59:33,480 --> 02:59:35,920
Speaker 8: that I was talking about, and I've always been talking about,

3297
02:59:36,400 --> 02:59:39,200
Speaker 8: it's gonna be the white folks who fell for the

3298
02:59:39,400 --> 02:59:42,080
Speaker 8: lives of the John Burst Society for all these years,

3299
02:59:42,560 --> 02:59:45,440
Speaker 8: because it ain't about white, eight ain't about black now.

3300
02:59:45,480 --> 02:59:47,680
Speaker 8: I was a technical advisor on the film Deep Cover

3301
02:59:47,800 --> 02:59:50,840
Speaker 8: with Larry Fishburn and Jeff Goldbloom. That movie came out

3302
02:59:50,879 --> 02:59:54,080
Speaker 8: in nineteen ninety two, and Jeff Goldbloom is sitting there

3303
02:59:54,120 --> 02:59:56,920
Speaker 8: with the drug cartel for Mexico. He goes, there are

3304
02:59:57,040 --> 03:00:01,039
Speaker 8: no Mexicans, there are no Jews, there are no left

3305
03:00:01,120 --> 03:00:05,120
Speaker 8: black or white. There's just the money, the poor and

3306
03:00:05,320 --> 03:00:08,560
Speaker 8: the rich. We're both rich, so we ain't got no

3307
03:00:08,720 --> 03:00:12,600
Speaker 8: problem with each other. Let's go back to nineteen seventy six,

3308
03:00:13,360 --> 03:00:17,000
Speaker 8: the film Network. Everybody talks about a Murder's Hill. It

3309
03:00:17,040 --> 03:00:21,520
Speaker 8: ain't take it anymore. Nineteen seventy six, that movie told

3310
03:00:21,600 --> 03:00:26,039
Speaker 8: you there is no Russia, there is no United States,

3311
03:00:26,200 --> 03:00:31,240
Speaker 8: there is no China. There's only rubles petro dollars. We

3312
03:00:31,520 --> 03:00:34,640
Speaker 8: have been led to believe in this nationalism. We have

3313
03:00:34,800 --> 03:00:37,840
Speaker 8: been led to believe that it's black versus white, versus brown.

3314
03:00:38,040 --> 03:00:40,200
Speaker 8: That's one of the reasons Martin Luther King Junior was killed.

3315
03:00:40,600 --> 03:00:44,480
Speaker 8: He was fighting for everybody who was poor. And you

3316
03:00:44,600 --> 03:00:47,960
Speaker 8: folks are still talking this black crap. Unless we learn

3317
03:00:48,080 --> 03:00:51,480
Speaker 8: to get together, to unite as the ninety nine percent,

3318
03:00:52,520 --> 03:00:56,360
Speaker 8: we are doomed to fail. So I hope that answers

3319
03:00:56,400 --> 03:00:56,840
Speaker 8: this question.

3320
03:00:57,600 --> 03:00:59,640
Speaker 1: All right, not away from the top of a Sando's

3321
03:00:59,680 --> 03:01:02,760
Speaker 1: calling Atlanta has a question for you online, one grand

3322
03:01:02,840 --> 03:01:04,560
Speaker 1: rising Sandra. Your question from Mark.

3323
03:01:05,560 --> 03:01:08,440
Speaker 13: Yes, oh, Mark, I wanted to eat a spell.

3324
03:01:08,680 --> 03:01:11,520
Speaker 5: I think you talked about the Eustas plan. I think

3325
03:01:11,600 --> 03:01:12,280
Speaker 5: I may have that.

3326
03:01:12,440 --> 03:01:13,320
Speaker 13: Wrong, but you.

3327
03:01:15,200 --> 03:01:18,480
Speaker 8: Yes, ma'am, h us t o n It's just like

3328
03:01:18,560 --> 03:01:20,560
Speaker 8: the city of Houston. But there's no old before the

3329
03:01:20,720 --> 03:01:24,440
Speaker 8: u flks. You better study that plan. That's the worst

3330
03:01:24,480 --> 03:01:28,040
Speaker 8: one of all. That's the worst one of all. Oh

3331
03:01:28,080 --> 03:01:30,160
Speaker 8: and by the way, mister Nelson, you know we always

3332
03:01:30,200 --> 03:01:33,640
Speaker 8: talk about Fred Hampton. The main reason Fred Hampton was

3333
03:01:33,720 --> 03:01:37,560
Speaker 8: killed because he was bringing black, brown, white, everybody together,

3334
03:01:37,680 --> 03:01:41,720
Speaker 8: because they realized they had the same enemy. That's why

3335
03:01:41,760 --> 03:01:43,480
Speaker 8: he had to be taken out. You can't have no

3336
03:01:43,600 --> 03:01:47,080
Speaker 8: leader bringing everybody together. That's why Occupy Wall Street was

3337
03:01:47,879 --> 03:01:49,800
Speaker 8: for a while, was a threat because they said, we

3338
03:01:50,040 --> 03:01:53,440
Speaker 8: are the ninety nine percent. You are being manipulated by

3339
03:01:53,480 --> 03:01:54,080
Speaker 8: the one percent.

3340
03:01:56,600 --> 03:01:58,640
Speaker 1: So what you're saying, it's a game to play us

3341
03:01:58,680 --> 03:01:59,560
Speaker 1: all against each other.

3342
03:01:59,800 --> 03:02:02,280
Speaker 8: And it's always been a game. Mister Nelson's called Order

3343
03:02:02,360 --> 03:02:02,959
Speaker 8: out of Chaos.

3344
03:02:03,080 --> 03:02:03,160
Speaker 3: Now.

3345
03:02:03,200 --> 03:02:04,960
Speaker 8: You had a TV show back in the sixties, and

3346
03:02:05,000 --> 03:02:07,040
Speaker 8: I don't watch television anymore, but I think they may

3347
03:02:07,080 --> 03:02:11,199
Speaker 8: have come up with a remake where you had Maxwell

3348
03:02:11,240 --> 03:02:16,439
Speaker 8: Smart Get Smart. The two organizations were chaos and control.

3349
03:02:17,000 --> 03:02:20,880
Speaker 8: They create the chaos, we demand something be done about it,

3350
03:02:21,080 --> 03:02:23,600
Speaker 8: and we'll be willing to give up our rights by

3351
03:02:23,720 --> 03:02:26,480
Speaker 8: giving them control. They put it right in your face.

3352
03:02:27,760 --> 03:02:31,440
Speaker 8: Serious Hollywood, Babylon always tells you what's gonna happen, And

3353
03:02:31,560 --> 03:02:33,520
Speaker 8: you know it's sad because if you all want to

3354
03:02:33,520 --> 03:02:35,720
Speaker 8: see a movie, there was a great movie last year

3355
03:02:35,760 --> 03:02:38,400
Speaker 8: with a black woman. She was a former US Army

3356
03:02:38,959 --> 03:02:41,120
Speaker 8: never wanted to live on that forty acres that her

3357
03:02:41,200 --> 03:02:43,840
Speaker 8: family lived on in Canada when they escaped during slavery.

3358
03:02:44,280 --> 03:02:47,200
Speaker 8: But when whatever dystopia happened in this country. She went

3359
03:02:47,280 --> 03:02:52,000
Speaker 8: to Canada, and now she's got these young children and black, white,

3360
03:02:52,040 --> 03:02:55,960
Speaker 8: brown everybody on this farm, this forty acre land. And

3361
03:02:56,120 --> 03:02:58,440
Speaker 8: I don't hear anybody talking about this movie, mister Nelson.

3362
03:02:58,480 --> 03:03:01,680
Speaker 8: And this movie was unbudded leave a boat, but it

3363
03:03:01,800 --> 03:03:05,840
Speaker 8: shows you how you can possibly survive, regardless of what

3364
03:03:05,959 --> 03:03:08,280
Speaker 8: the reason for the dystopia, whether it's a civil war,

3365
03:03:08,680 --> 03:03:12,840
Speaker 8: a nuclear war, whatever. And you know it's sad. It

3366
03:03:13,000 --> 03:03:16,000
Speaker 8: was a movie's called forty Acres. But that black moment

3367
03:03:16,120 --> 03:03:18,400
Speaker 8: she kicked ass in that movie, mister Nelson.

3368
03:03:19,320 --> 03:03:22,160
Speaker 1: Yes, So in the remaining time, what do we do?

3369
03:03:22,240 --> 03:03:24,400
Speaker 1: Because if the like I said.

3370
03:03:24,240 --> 03:03:27,240
Speaker 8: Before, we got to start at home, and it doesn't

3371
03:03:27,280 --> 03:03:29,360
Speaker 8: start at thirteen. You got to start from day one

3372
03:03:29,440 --> 03:03:34,440
Speaker 8: with your children. But more importantly, folks, go out and

3373
03:03:34,560 --> 03:03:37,200
Speaker 8: start training. My children were taking martial arts at a

3374
03:03:37,240 --> 03:03:41,520
Speaker 8: young age. I tell people, take archery classes, go to

3375
03:03:41,720 --> 03:03:46,120
Speaker 8: axetrawing classes, any class on self defense. Start doing it, folks,

3376
03:03:46,160 --> 03:03:47,840
Speaker 8: because when these people take it to the streets and

3377
03:03:47,920 --> 03:03:50,400
Speaker 8: we have no electricity, you're not gonna be able to

3378
03:03:50,440 --> 03:03:52,560
Speaker 8: go to the supermarket, and they're gonna come to your

3379
03:03:52,560 --> 03:03:54,280
Speaker 8: house because they're gonna want you. What you have is

3380
03:03:54,600 --> 03:03:57,200
Speaker 8: remember I said in the last show, those zombie movies

3381
03:03:57,200 --> 03:03:59,920
Speaker 8: ain't about zombie movies. Those movies are getting you manally

3382
03:04:00,120 --> 03:04:02,720
Speaker 8: prepared for how you're going to survive. In fact, there's

3383
03:04:02,720 --> 03:04:05,160
Speaker 8: a great movie that is a Fighter Leaf Academy. We'll

3384
03:04:05,240 --> 03:04:09,280
Speaker 8: call a Battle after Another with Leonardo DiCaprio. That's that's

3385
03:04:09,280 --> 03:04:11,240
Speaker 8: a pretty good movie too. It's funny, but it's a

3386
03:04:11,280 --> 03:04:13,960
Speaker 8: pretty good movie on survival. But it shows you some

3387
03:04:14,200 --> 03:04:18,520
Speaker 8: hardcore black women who don't take no mess, you know.

3388
03:04:18,760 --> 03:04:21,280
Speaker 8: Oh and they love putting Gil Scott Heron's music in

3389
03:04:21,320 --> 03:04:24,800
Speaker 8: that in that film. So you know, what can we do?

3390
03:04:24,920 --> 03:04:27,320
Speaker 8: Mister Nelson, Like I've always said to you, you have

3391
03:04:27,480 --> 03:04:30,120
Speaker 8: your bug out bag, that's fine, but you also have

3392
03:04:30,280 --> 03:04:32,760
Speaker 8: to prepare yourself for the event that you might come

3393
03:04:32,840 --> 03:04:35,960
Speaker 8: under attack. Everybody should be taking martial arts. If you

3394
03:04:36,520 --> 03:04:41,760
Speaker 8: legally can get yourself a firearm, have knives, way start

3395
03:04:41,920 --> 03:04:44,280
Speaker 8: reading these prepper books. But you know, mister Nelson, since

3396
03:04:44,360 --> 03:04:47,200
Speaker 8: you said that, and since we know there are some

3397
03:04:47,240 --> 03:04:50,920
Speaker 8: people who are going to go out to protests, one

3398
03:04:51,000 --> 03:04:53,960
Speaker 8: of the best magazines before you guys go out on

3399
03:04:54,000 --> 03:04:58,640
Speaker 8: a protest, I strongly suggest you study the Prairie Land Defendants.

3400
03:04:58,720 --> 03:05:01,120
Speaker 8: Those are white folks and many of them have been

3401
03:05:01,160 --> 03:05:03,840
Speaker 8: in jail in Texas since July twenty twenty five, and

3402
03:05:04,400 --> 03:05:06,360
Speaker 8: I doubt most of your listeners ever heard of him.

3403
03:05:06,840 --> 03:05:10,440
Speaker 8: The Prairie Land Defendants find out why they are in

3404
03:05:10,640 --> 03:05:14,440
Speaker 8: jail because, like Don Lemon, he goes to Minneapolis and

3405
03:05:14,480 --> 03:05:17,440
Speaker 8: he's hanging out with this guy named Chris ostro Husco.

3406
03:05:18,120 --> 03:05:19,840
Speaker 8: He's a Nadia for hanging out with that guy. That

3407
03:05:19,920 --> 03:05:22,680
Speaker 8: guy is the biggest mouth of Minneapolis. Ice has hated

3408
03:05:22,720 --> 03:05:25,520
Speaker 8: that guy for months and he's in photographs with Chris

3409
03:05:25,600 --> 03:05:31,200
Speaker 8: ostro Husco. Come on, but there's a magazine Wired Magazine,

3410
03:05:31,879 --> 03:05:38,200
Speaker 8: June eleventh, twenty twenty five. I say that again, Wired Magazine,

3411
03:05:38,400 --> 03:05:43,920
Speaker 8: juni eleven, twenty twenty five, and the article is protesting tips,

3412
03:05:44,720 --> 03:05:49,360
Speaker 8: what to bring, how to act, and how to stay

3413
03:05:49,520 --> 03:05:53,760
Speaker 8: safe during a protest because a lot of folks are

3414
03:05:53,800 --> 03:05:56,199
Speaker 8: doing some stupid stuff out there that's giving Ice cart

3415
03:05:56,280 --> 03:06:00,160
Speaker 8: Blanche reason to round them up. And those folks, by

3416
03:06:00,160 --> 03:06:03,120
Speaker 8: the way, mister Nelson, in Texas, most of them are

3417
03:06:03,160 --> 03:06:06,280
Speaker 8: only in custody because they happen to be outside after

3418
03:06:06,360 --> 03:06:09,360
Speaker 8: a cop was shot. They rounded up everybody. And you

3419
03:06:09,440 --> 03:06:12,200
Speaker 8: know what Trump's using as his justification, Well, that's what

3420
03:06:12,360 --> 03:06:15,400
Speaker 8: Biden did on January sixth, twenty twenty one. He just

3421
03:06:15,560 --> 03:06:19,160
Speaker 8: rounded up anybody who was in the vicinity. That's why

3422
03:06:19,320 --> 03:06:21,400
Speaker 8: Don Lemon and them got rounded up. Now, I will

3423
03:06:21,480 --> 03:06:24,520
Speaker 8: say the four journalists that I saw arrested in Minneapolis

3424
03:06:24,560 --> 03:06:28,320
Speaker 8: are all happen to be black, but they ain't a

3425
03:06:28,360 --> 03:06:32,480
Speaker 8: black thing. See, they're gonna use black folks because most

3426
03:06:32,520 --> 03:06:34,520
Speaker 8: white folks in this country are still bigoted, whether they

3427
03:06:34,520 --> 03:06:36,680
Speaker 8: will admit it or not. They'll let Don Lemon and

3428
03:06:36,760 --> 03:06:39,960
Speaker 8: them go down. But once that becomes case law white folks,

3429
03:06:40,000 --> 03:06:44,400
Speaker 8: they're coming after you too. Love you, mister Nelson, Love

3430
03:06:44,440 --> 03:06:46,240
Speaker 8: your listeners. Stay strong, Stay black.

3431
03:06:47,560 --> 03:06:50,960
Speaker 1: Mark from allaheim A Hi Family classes dismissed. Stay strong,
