0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 2>The whole wild world one up read Malague. But welcome, Welcome,

0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to Malik's Bookshelf, Bringing a world together with books.

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Culture and community.

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Hi, my name is Malik, your host of Malik's Bookshelf,

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Bringing a world together with one book at a time. Well,

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:32.199
<v Speaker 2>this election show enough didn't bring the world together, and

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't anticipate it will. This country is divided at

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:40.559
<v Speaker 2>its core, and now they Trump won the election.

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.159
<v Speaker 1>All day long, every major.

0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 2>News station is trying to dissect the outcome of this

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 2>last election twenty twenty four. Trump won by a landslide.

0:00:53.640 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 2>He had a coalition of black, Hispanic Whites, women enough

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>to not only win the electoral college, but when by

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 2>millions of votes the popular vote, which hasn't happened for

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 2>a Republican in quite some time.

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>This was a blowout.

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 2>A landslide, an electoral college landslide, and a popular vote

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:23.760
<v Speaker 2>which gives him what they call a mandate or some

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.679
<v Speaker 2>type of clarity on the policies that he want to

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 2>bring forth. But let me say illusion of inclusion. Everybody

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:34.959
<v Speaker 2>dissecting that. I'm not a politician. I don't like to

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.640
<v Speaker 2>talk politics. I don't like to talk with religion. It

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 2>dividsesed people. I'm trying to bring people together, one book

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 2>at a time. But this election, a lot of people

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 2>want to say it was he wanted because of racism

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 2>and that, which which means that in this country out

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 2>of three hundred something, meaning he probably is going to

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 2>get over eighty million votes when they finished counting, you're

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 2>telling me that a one third of this country is

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 2>flat out racist.

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>You know. Listen, America is a lot.

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Of things, but it has changed over the decades in

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.959
<v Speaker 2>the right direction, in the sense that blacks are twenty

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 2>five percent more likely to be more wealthier in this country,

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 2>become millionaires or what have you than any other place

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 2>on this planet. That says a lot about the changes.

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Is it perfect? No?

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Is it?

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.240
<v Speaker 2>God has problems, Yes, And I think a lot of

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 2>the problems is because and I'm black and I'm a

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 2>black man.

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I believe that do for yourself.

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 2>You're supposed to do for yourself what you can do,

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 2>rather than depending on somebody. I think there's a lot

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.920
<v Speaker 2>of things that we can do as black people, independent

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 2>of the government of America to change our condition and

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 2>reality and make things prosperous and better.

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Instead of complaining what the government does not do.

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 2>I open Elik books why to do something about the

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 2>lifeack of information, the lack of love of self, us

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 2>looking at ourselves and disrespecting our own self, our own community.

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Because I believe how you view yourself as direct relationship

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 2>on how you treat yourself and your community and those

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 2>around you. So I didn't complain about it. I did

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 2>something about it. No more excuses. There are a lot

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.640
<v Speaker 2>of things we can do. It's the sky falling. No,

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 2>we have survived worse. Whatever you think about Trump, bottom

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 2>line is this, we have survived worse. There have been

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 2>white supremists like George Washington Thomas Jender have been president

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 2>and they were enslavers and owned slaves. So we have

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 2>gotten through that, which says a lot about how we

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 2>can get through this. Whatever you might think of Trump,

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:55.440
<v Speaker 2>whatever the percentage of Hispanics, women and Blacks that voted

0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 2>him in. You know, I'm been in the book business

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 2>for a long time, and I know women can rule

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 2>the world. Why because we've had net Fa Teeny Claire Pacha,

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 2>These were giants ancient times. They have had women in Europe.

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 2>There have been queens and have ruled Queen Mary of

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 2>Britain or Queen Elizabeth from Britain. So there have been

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:26.159
<v Speaker 2>women that have ruled great empires, great nations such as Britain,

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 2>Ancient Egypt, and all throughout Europe. So women can rule,

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:36.720
<v Speaker 2>and women are very intelligent and they're very smart. I

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:42.480
<v Speaker 2>don't think that Trump won because of.

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>His him being who he is in him.

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 2>He won because of a lot of people are feeling

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 2>the economy.

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.120
<v Speaker 1>He won because a lot of people.

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Don't want boys competing or men competing against girls. There

0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 2>are a lot of other issues that people need to address. Listen, Usually,

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 2>if you're in the center, you typically appeal to most people.

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 2>Extreme views do not get the majority of the people.

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.000
<v Speaker 1>He's about to get more.

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 2>He's more popular now, He's gotten more votes than he

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 2>did four years ago in twenty sixteen. Why we need

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 2>to study that for to hear all this rhetoric and

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.480
<v Speaker 2>the Democratic Party they don't want to look in the

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 2>mirror and address some of their policies, and the way

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 2>they campaign is, you know, they don't want to see

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:40.160
<v Speaker 2>what's on the handwriting that's on the wall. It's a

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.359
<v Speaker 2>lot of people in this country don't like the direction

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 2>that's going in. They don't like the policies of the

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 2>present leader. That's the bottom line, and the people spoke,

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 2>and that's why. You know, I don't like the high

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 2>guys present. I don't like going in and having to

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>pay the kind of money I gotta pay for for

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't like the inflation that's going on. I don't

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 2>like the fact that my sales is down a certain

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 2>percentage because the economy are you know, people are holding

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 2>on to their moneyes and so the retail industry is down.

0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Why because there's no growth, Americans spending more money than

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:23.600
<v Speaker 2>it's taken in and therefore there has created a problem

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:29.040
<v Speaker 2>with people not having disposable income. So the bottom line is,

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:35.480
<v Speaker 2>enough people voted to bring President Trump back to deal

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 2>with inflation, to deal with wars around the world, to

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 2>deal with the problems that are plaguing America. And you know,

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:49.720
<v Speaker 2>they didn't feel that Kamala Harris had the ability to

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 2>do what to address the issues that are before us,

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 2>and so enough people voted against her.

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.280
<v Speaker 1>And now they want to dissect this.

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 2>What did Trump do to attract large numbers of blacks,

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:08.840
<v Speaker 2>particularly black men, large number of Hispanic men and Hispanics

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 2>in general, and large numbers of course white men.

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Of course he.

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Gonna win the day on that right. But he also

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>got a strong percentage of white women. So what is

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 2>it about Trump that he appealed to that element?

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 1>I want to read something somebody sent me. They sent

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>me this.

0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:33.680
<v Speaker 2>What so many failed to understand is that MAGA is

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 2>not about Donald Trump.

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 1>MAGA is about America.

0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 2>We the people were searching for someone, anyone willing to

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 2>fight corruption and preserve freedom.

0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 1>We found that in Donald Trump. He's our voice. You see.

0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 2>It's not a cult, it's a revolution. Make America great again. Now,

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 2>someone sent that to me because I asked them what

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:59.680
<v Speaker 2>was it about Donald Trump that Americans like?

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 1>And someone sent that to me, so I wanted to read.

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Those are not my words, Those are the words of

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 2>somebody who sent me this paragraph that they found.

0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I guess this is circulating all over social media. So

0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>the mac of movement is not about Donald Trump. It's

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 1>it is a movement though.

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 2>That's the thing, because he's gotten stronger over the years

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 2>and not weaker.

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 1>And he's been convicted he's been.

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Spoken ninety eight percent of all the negative media or

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 2>ninety eight percent of the media coverage on Trump. They

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:40.640
<v Speaker 2>say it's negative. So the thing is, what isn't it

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.720
<v Speaker 2>about him that appeals to these people? And someone wrote

0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.480
<v Speaker 2>this paragraph that sent it to me that I just read.

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 2>So because I don't know, I don't know what's making

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 2>him for I don't know what's causing black men, Hispanic men,

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 2>enough white women to vote.

0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Because a typical politician would.

0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:04.439
<v Speaker 2>Be, you know, thrown out of office or never been

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 2>able to be elected with the things that Donald Trump

0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:14.280
<v Speaker 2>says and does. But they say that's a window of.

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Why racism exists.

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Now, I do feel that there's certain things that Trump

0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.720
<v Speaker 2>has said and did that has like peeled the layers

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 2>of America back and expose some certain things on the

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:32.440
<v Speaker 2>inside because he's taking on some of the greatest enemies

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 2>that have plagged black progress in America. Now you don't

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:41.079
<v Speaker 2>have to agree with this, but the Corntail program that

0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:46.840
<v Speaker 2>was designed to undermine black organizations was started by the FBI,

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 2>and it undermined black leaders, black organizations. Now you see

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Trump fighting the FBI, you see Trump fighting the CIA,

0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.839
<v Speaker 2>you see Trump fighting like I said, corruption in.

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 1>The government or whatever.

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 2>A lot of our black organizations were destroyed and.

0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.120
<v Speaker 1>The law was used to undermine them.

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:13.600
<v Speaker 2>And the same way they're persecuting Donald Trump is the

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.480
<v Speaker 2>way they persecuted a lot of black leaders in the

0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:20.000
<v Speaker 2>black organizations. And they have books out and they called

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:26.679
<v Speaker 2>Corntail pro the FBI pro on Black Leadership, Black organization.

0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 2>These are real books and these documents have come out

0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:35.600
<v Speaker 2>and been placing the book to show you know, the attack.

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 2>They went after Martin Luther King and did certain things

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:43.400
<v Speaker 2>by trying to get him, by spying on him illegally

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.680
<v Speaker 2>and trying to use that to undermine him. So this

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:54.680
<v Speaker 2>corntail pro, this covert operation, is clandestine operation that the FBI,

0:10:54.760 --> 0:11:01.920
<v Speaker 2>the CIA users was doing that towards black organizations, black leaders.

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Now it's a term they call it. They call it lawfare.

0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:11.760
<v Speaker 2>And a lot of blacks believe that and whites, you know,

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 2>believe that the lawfair against Trump. Blackfired because people in

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:22.000
<v Speaker 2>underserved community know what that feels like knowing because a

0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of Blacks feel the Black Panther Party was targeted

0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 2>this way lawfare, that the Nation of Islam as an

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 2>organization was targeted this way that the NAACP was targeted

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:36.480
<v Speaker 2>this way.

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 1>A lot of the Urban League.

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:43.560
<v Speaker 2>These are strong organizations that have helped many Black people.

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.080
<v Speaker 2>They have different ideologies, but a lot of black people

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 2>have benefited from these organizations, and a lot of blacks

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 2>feel that lawfair was used against these organizations to undermine

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 2>and to create division amongst black people, because black people

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 2>don't always all think alike, but we all share a

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:12.040
<v Speaker 2>common denominator which we live mostly in underserved communities, lack

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 2>of resources, liquor stores on every corner, and a lot

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.679
<v Speaker 2>of crime and drugs gained.

0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Violence, all of that.

0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 2>So most Blacks live in that environment and a lot

0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:29.600
<v Speaker 2>of these organizations attempted to try to make a difference

0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.079
<v Speaker 2>in these communities, to lift up Black people and change

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:37.960
<v Speaker 2>their lives by getting them to do for themselves and

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 2>to love themselves and to stand up and resist against

0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 2>oppression and Jim Crow and all the corruption and discrimination

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 2>and racism that was in America. Martin Luther King, a

0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of people involved in the movement where doctor King

0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:04.960
<v Speaker 2>would targeted by the cointail program. So this is a

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:11.040
<v Speaker 2>program that and I've come across information where because bookstores

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 2>are located throughout America and their meeting places and places

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:20.240
<v Speaker 2>that people go to get information that they that bookstores

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 2>were monitored and documented because these are places where seminars, workshops,

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 2>information and things like that. So there's documents how they

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 2>monitor bookstores all across this nation. And these are some

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 2>of the things that and I remember back in the day,

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.920
<v Speaker 2>I used to get calls at the store where people.

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:48.040
<v Speaker 1>And I see scrolling some of the social media right

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 1>now that.

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 2>Some people are targeted at bookstore all because they want

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 2>to promote a voice for black people.

0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I say, leak books, given voice to the voiceless. You know,

0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of.

0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 2>These books wasn't on the shelves of major bookstores. See

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.880
<v Speaker 2>so instead of talking about and complained about it, Malik

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:14.200
<v Speaker 2>opened up stores in order to give a voice to

0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:15.160
<v Speaker 2>a voiceless.

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.960
<v Speaker 1>So the Balbin Hills location.

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Is all black and brown, lat Black and Latino Children's

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 2>bookstore in Westville. Kov Semar's our general store dealing with

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.920
<v Speaker 2>a dought alway to children with children or one hundred

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.320
<v Speaker 2>percent of our future, because I believe that it's a

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 2>lot of trauma in our communities because of how you

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.280
<v Speaker 2>see yourself. How you view yourself is how you think

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.280
<v Speaker 2>about yourself. And you have to love yourself, to be

0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:46.480
<v Speaker 2>yourself and to do for yourself and to be a

0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 2>successful in America. So you know, all I'm saying is, yes,

0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:57.080
<v Speaker 2>America has come a long way. But how can a

0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.920
<v Speaker 2>person whom twenty four to seven, seven days week, the

0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 2>media lambasted Trump as a racist, as a convicted feeling,

0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:10.800
<v Speaker 2>and yet he won the president of the United States.

0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:15.200
<v Speaker 2>He carried the Senate and the House of represented my understanding,

0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:19.360
<v Speaker 2>and won the electoral College and as a blowout in

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:23.880
<v Speaker 2>one by landslide, you know, And this hasn't happened because

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:30.760
<v Speaker 2>the Republican Party has always labeled a sacred gated racist party.

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Yet how can someone like this win? That needs to

0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:39.520
<v Speaker 2>be studied and examined because the question is has America

0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:40.360
<v Speaker 2>ever changed?

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:41.240
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm not sure. For a long time I thought that,

0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure. I think a lot of people have

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 2>conservative views and they hide it how they feel. You know,

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.120
<v Speaker 2>you got a clan in a suit and you got

0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.320
<v Speaker 2>a clan in a white T shirt. They both have

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:07.960
<v Speaker 2>the same objective, white supremacy over every other culture and race. Now,

0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:13.560
<v Speaker 2>and what steps are they willing to tape depends on

0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:17.640
<v Speaker 2>the group and their ideology. But white people did not

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.720
<v Speaker 2>build this nation for it to be turned over to

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:24.360
<v Speaker 2>minorities and other groups. And they're gonna fight to the

0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:29.600
<v Speaker 2>death to keep this nation under white power, under white control.

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:33.600
<v Speaker 2>And so, like I said, I don't know how he won,

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:37.560
<v Speaker 2>but he won, and he won by a land slide.

0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.960
<v Speaker 1>So that's my podcast for this week.
