Speaker 1: My leak bus has how the knowledge you want, but
Speaker 1: has how the knowledge you need. Bus. Yeah, they have
Speaker 1: all the books that the whole wild world want to
Speaker 1: read my leg Bus. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to Malik's Book Show,
Speaker 1: bringing a world together with books, culture and community. Hi,
Speaker 1: my name is Milik, your host of Malik's Bookshelf. Hey,
Speaker 1: I have some controversial questions for Melik's mail Bag that
Speaker 1: I'm going to address on this episode. Um, there's a
Speaker 1: couple of areas that I don't like to spend a
Speaker 1: whole lot of time on, and that's politics and religion.
Speaker 1: But some things politically affects all of us. And that's
Speaker 1: why I did my episode last week called Big Text Censorship,
Speaker 1: because this is an ongoing issue in America. More, I
Speaker 1: guess receipts that Elon Moss had released again on Monday
Speaker 1: might be another dump again on Day, but the last
Speaker 1: two weeks more receipts about the censorship, about shadow banning,
Speaker 1: and about the big tech interfering in the election by
Speaker 1: silencing messages that are in opposition to the Democratic Party. So, um,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna address those uh questions I got from the
Speaker 1: mail bag Malik's mail Bag But I'm also releasing an
Speaker 1: interview I've done with Commander Dale Brown, who wrote a
Speaker 1: book called The Detroit Urban Survival Chronicles Protection survival stories
Speaker 1: of domestic abuse, death, robbery, and violence. So I interviewed him.
Speaker 1: He also came to Malik Books and did a demonstration
Speaker 1: on tactics, uh, how to evade a knife, a gun
Speaker 1: and things of that type. And it was very impressive
Speaker 1: because with very little force and certain pressure points on
Speaker 1: your body, you know, you can do push around someone
Speaker 1: twice as big as you with very little ease, and
Speaker 1: you can remove a gun and a knife if you
Speaker 1: if you're in a position to defend yourself from someone
Speaker 1: who's attacking you. But this was an extraordinary interview of
Speaker 1: someone who has over thirty years experience of defending the community.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna feature that interview on here. And I'm
Speaker 1: also gonna talk about the Win of wonder Land event
Speaker 1: that we hosted this last week. We did a Win
Speaker 1: the winter Land book giveaway, so stay tuned for this
Speaker 1: epl toe, which I'm gonna call Don't Drink the kool Aid,
Speaker 1: Don't Drink the kool Aid, Big Day, the Big Day.
Speaker 1: Commander Dale Brown is at Maliegue Books and as always
Speaker 1: I gotta interview them from a podcast, Maliek's bookshow, bringing
Speaker 1: the world together with books, culture and community. The name
Speaker 1: of the book is Detroit Urban Survival Chronicles, Protecting survivals
Speaker 1: stories of domestic abuse, death, robbery and violence. Well, Dale,
Speaker 1: let's jumped right into it. You know, Um, talk to
Speaker 1: me about what a reader can find in this book
Speaker 1: and why this book is so important in this era
Speaker 1: that we live in. In A reader is going to
Speaker 1: find in this book the actual stories of how we
Speaker 1: used our system, the training system I created and why
Speaker 1: I created it, because it talks about the violence UH
Speaker 1: that was being perpetrated by violent criminals, violent individuals, and gangs,
Speaker 1: and then how we actually rescue people and protected families
Speaker 1: from these gangs and how we still do this very day.
Speaker 1: So right now, my company protects UH approximately five thousand
Speaker 1: families UH twenty four day, seven days a week. And
Speaker 1: we started to me seven years ago. And so what
Speaker 1: this book is about is just telling the stories of
Speaker 1: how and why the training system exists and how the
Speaker 1: training UH is gonna help you protect yourself from your
Speaker 1: family because it helped us. So it's literally the how
Speaker 1: to book how to create safety safely for your family,
Speaker 1: for your community, your corporation, anywhere in the world. Well,
Speaker 1: share your background because obviously you offering a lot of
Speaker 1: strategic tactical you know, things that can help people survive,
Speaker 1: saving their lives and so forth. So talk to them
Speaker 1: about your background because I think that's important. Yes, my
Speaker 1: background is uh uh in a lot of different martial arts.
Speaker 1: So I trained a lot of martial arts. I was
Speaker 1: a kid to one adulthood, uh, and then I was
Speaker 1: licensed prive investigator when I got of the military, and
Speaker 1: I was airborn paratroupe from the military. So what I
Speaker 1: did was I mixed together several different knowledges, and that
Speaker 1: was areas of knowledge that was primarily the understanding of
Speaker 1: the skill set from that I learned from martial arts.
Speaker 1: Then uh some of the disciplines from from the military,
Speaker 1: and then I mixed that with my understanding of law,
Speaker 1: because in order for you defend yourself legally, you have
Speaker 1: to know the law, otherwise what you're doing could be
Speaker 1: considered illegal. So really good people that are not the
Speaker 1: bad guys are actually in prison right now simply because
Speaker 1: it could not articulate their use of force properly. So
Speaker 1: my original reason, my impetus for teaching was I thought
Speaker 1: would be a great business. The reason I switched from
Speaker 1: a business model to a community service model was because
Speaker 1: this girl got chased off a bridge. Her name was
Speaker 1: Delete Award. She was snatched out of a car in
Speaker 1: front of crowd of people, her and her daughter, teenage
Speaker 1: daughter in her car. They pulled the mother out, they
Speaker 1: stripped her clothes as three men they stripped river close.
Speaker 1: She jumped off the bridge, the Bellow Bridge, to escape
Speaker 1: these men, and she died in the water as a result.
Speaker 1: And I thought, if I had some people on that
Speaker 1: on that bridge, if I had trained the mother, then
Speaker 1: I could have provided them with the knowledge they needed
Speaker 1: to protect themselves and stop the horrible event from happening.
Speaker 1: And I didn't, I know, I had no way to
Speaker 1: get to them because at that time I was just
Speaker 1: teaching my system to those who could afford it, and
Speaker 1: so I was teaching downtown Detroit. I just created some students.
Speaker 1: I started building up a good student um group, diverse group,
Speaker 1: and Uh, I decided that was not important when that
Speaker 1: girl got changed to the bridge. What what made me
Speaker 1: UH realize that my life's purpose was that I'm in Detroit,
Speaker 1: and I believe that's what my purpose was, to be
Speaker 1: the person could bring the knowledge. And then when I
Speaker 1: end up on the East Side, purpose is important, purposes everything.
Speaker 1: So now I believe that was my purpose. And then
Speaker 1: so I go to train the people, and then I
Speaker 1: find out something else that even if I trained the people,
Speaker 1: if they're dealing with a gang, they need more than
Speaker 1: just training. So I created an organization from the streets
Speaker 1: Detroit by getting volunteers from the neighborhood. I got them
Speaker 1: free apartments from the building owners. I made a deal
Speaker 1: with the building owner. Uh, that's really rich to say,
Speaker 1: you give me a firm, give me a facilities so
Speaker 1: I can use a school, give me one free apartment
Speaker 1: each building, and I will uh stop these home invasion
Speaker 1: murders that are killing your um prosperity. The first time
Speaker 1: I mentioned to him, he said, no, he's not interested.
Speaker 1: He's he's rich, but he's not also rich because he
Speaker 1: doesn't waste money. He doesn't spend money on the people
Speaker 1: that are paying him. So there's not enough lighting, there's
Speaker 1: not good doors, there's no security essentially for the people
Speaker 1: who live there. And we're talking about ten buildings and
Speaker 1: one square block proxibly five hundred homes, and uh, of
Speaker 1: those you're at a vacancy. So you're talking about, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: two or fifty families. When you should have a thriving
Speaker 1: community a five hundred dwellings filled. You have two fifty
Speaker 1: dwellings filled in this in this one square block. And
Speaker 1: what I did was I told the building owner, you
Speaker 1: know I can help. He said he wasn't interested. He
Speaker 1: said to him, it doesn't make sense that one guy
Speaker 1: with a dog and a rifle could do something that
Speaker 1: the charge Detroit Police Department could not do. For the
Speaker 1: twenty years that he's been owning these building. He said,
Speaker 1: he's not making any money, so he doesn't not interested
Speaker 1: in spending money on safety for these for the people
Speaker 1: live there. And I said, well, you know, I get
Speaker 1: your point. And I thought about it. I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: what what could one person do with a dog and
Speaker 1: a rifle the police department care? I was like, man,
Speaker 1: that doesn't make sense. I was like, what am I thinking?
Speaker 1: You got to make him a believer? No, I I
Speaker 1: didn't believe. Now. I was like, right, that was a
Speaker 1: good question, All right, I could be killed out here
Speaker 1: I didn't think about it. I was like, well, you
Speaker 1: know what, I was going to die as an airborne paratrooper.
Speaker 1: I was going to give up my life for no
Speaker 1: good reason. So I would definitely be doing doing myself
Speaker 1: a good service and the community good service if I
Speaker 1: died for these families, they might have one if I
Speaker 1: killed even one of these criminals were killing the families, right,
Speaker 1: These are rapist, Robert, murderous individuals and games. If I
Speaker 1: would have died killing them, was that's what would happen, Bob,
Speaker 1: what I thought it was gonna happen. I thought that
Speaker 1: they were going to escalate the level of force with
Speaker 1: firearms and knives and guns and multile aggressors to the
Speaker 1: point where I have to kill them, and in that
Speaker 1: process I was going to be killed. So I believe
Speaker 1: that was going to happen. So I didn't believe there
Speaker 1: was gonna be a future. So we're talking about nineties.
Speaker 1: When I discovered that there was no protection, There was
Speaker 1: no one coming. The entire the entire protection was me
Speaker 1: and whatever volunteers like, right, And I didn't think that.
Speaker 1: I thought it was the police. I thought, you, all
Speaker 1: that we need to do is call the police, and
Speaker 1: then we tell the police what happened. The police can
Speaker 1: come there, and then police can provide us with the
Speaker 1: safety that we needed. But when you call the police,
Speaker 1: they might come the next day. That's correct or not
Speaker 1: at all, based on level of threat. That's for that's
Speaker 1: being UH conveyed to them through the nine one system.
Speaker 1: So instead of complaining, what I did was I created
Speaker 1: this this alternative option, which is VIPERS. VIPER stands for
Speaker 1: Violence Intervention Protective Emergency Response System. It's a bodyguard training system,
Speaker 1: and I got volunteers in the community. I convinced the
Speaker 1: building owner give me six months. I said, you lost
Speaker 1: seventy thousand dollars last month when the girl got murdered.
Speaker 1: And usually always girls getting murdered, almost always menners getting shot.
Speaker 1: Girls are getting murdered. But every time that happens, this
Speaker 1: guy loses about seventy thousand income. And I found this
Speaker 1: out from the building owners UH secretary manager. She told
Speaker 1: me he lost seventy thousand last month. People moved out
Speaker 1: when the girl got murdered. So I said, you know what,
Speaker 1: let me, let me do what I can do for you.
Speaker 1: So it's not that it's what is there's no protection,
Speaker 1: so it's not crime infested. What's happening is because there's
Speaker 1: no protection, there's no one to keep people alive. That
Speaker 1: means that if your daughter's being threatened, your son is
Speaker 1: being threatened, your family is being threatened, then there's no
Speaker 1: one to stop you from from actually being killed by
Speaker 1: the people threatening you. So it's not urban violence, it's
Speaker 1: really uh the opportunity is being built for them that
Speaker 1: are predatory. In some cases is just misunderstandings. Other times
Speaker 1: just abusive people that have no uh, no one to
Speaker 1: tell them to stop and then when to stop them.
Speaker 1: So essentially what I did was I got to building
Speaker 1: owner and I said, give me six months to stop
Speaker 1: your losses. Give me six months stop at home invasion murders.
Speaker 1: He was like, you know what, I don't believe it's
Speaker 1: gonna work, but I'll give you six months. So I
Speaker 1: got a free apartment, I got a free office, I
Speaker 1: got two thousand a month, and I got a free
Speaker 1: apartment and ten buildings. And then I got volunteers in
Speaker 1: the community and I trained them and they got a
Speaker 1: free apartment and I trained that. We trained every day
Speaker 1: all day. You only have to protect their building and
Speaker 1: then they respond if necessary. And then we had you know,
Speaker 1: ten people you know always said these people in and
Speaker 1: so it was concentrating. I didn't have any money, right,
Speaker 1: was just nothing for dog food and supplies and equipment. Right,
Speaker 1: So we were successful. Then we stopped all the home
Speaker 1: invasion and murders and as a result, the police department
Speaker 1: had nine one calls go down from three hundred down
Speaker 1: to thirty a month. And that was me because we
Speaker 1: always called police for every situation. And if police get
Speaker 1: there before we you know, we have to take action,
Speaker 1: that's fine. But what happens is normally, um, whatever situation is,
Speaker 1: we'll call the police for whatever violence screaming, someone chasing someone, uh,
Speaker 1: someone kicking in someone's door, we have to take actions
Speaker 1: which called it's called action circumstances. Due to action circumstances,
Speaker 1: we have to protect someone. That means legally we're taking
Speaker 1: action now as vigilantes, now, as usurping authority, we're going
Speaker 1: into uh protect someone because there was no other choice.
Speaker 1: We already called the police. The police cannot be here yet,
Speaker 1: so in in in the interim period before the police
Speaker 1: can arrive, we protect the family. Okay, you de escalating
Speaker 1: whatever we physically dominated, threat, beat them down, shoot them
Speaker 1: staff and whatever needs to be done. Were we done
Speaker 1: before the police get there, if it's necessary, or save life?
Speaker 1: So nothing, So we're talking. Uh so you confront them
Speaker 1: with with violence too. We confront them with extreme violence,
Speaker 1: not violence of extreme violence. Their their level of violence
Speaker 1: was significant less than ours. So I came to them
Speaker 1: with thirty rounds, with laser, flashlight, scope and all guys
Speaker 1: unnecessary things so that they could be petrified of the
Speaker 1: reality of a negative decision. And as a result, we
Speaker 1: were able to shock their brain into believing they could
Speaker 1: not win. So now they don't look at me as
Speaker 1: a woman, child, old person or someone they could believe that.
Speaker 1: This went viral. This went viral because now in its
Speaker 1: whole community talking about the potential of extreme violence being
Speaker 1: met with their violence and them being untrained, now that
Speaker 1: they're thinking twice about making moves, Well, what it is
Speaker 1: that not just untrained? There? There there what drives them
Speaker 1: as low priority. So for them, there the rape, robbing,
Speaker 1: and murdering families because they have opportunity. Once they believe
Speaker 1: there's no opportunity, once they believe it's been denied, they
Speaker 1: don't want to do it anymore. So what I offered
Speaker 1: them was pain and suffering. Right, I offer them immediacy.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna respond right now when when the senior citizens
Speaker 1: are calling, when the single moms are calling about being
Speaker 1: um home invaded and raped by a female gang, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna respond right now, when men are laying in the
Speaker 1: weight to attack females in the building, When there are
Speaker 1: men in the building that are assaulting people going in
Speaker 1: their homes without even masks, they wouldn't even They're not
Speaker 1: even like they're not trying to get away. They would
Speaker 1: knock on your door and tell you to check it
Speaker 1: in to to rob you in a group of men
Speaker 1: like you can't you know, like it's like a weird movie.
Speaker 1: Like in a movie the bad guys like trying to
Speaker 1: get away. These guys are walts waltzing. They were not
Speaker 1: even trying. This is there's no threat. And when when
Speaker 1: the police got there, there was still no threat. Which
Speaker 1: I'm a carjacking eighty year old man. There's a storybo
Speaker 1: eight year old man and getting car jacked in here,
Speaker 1: and the police, uh, they showed up and the eight
Speaker 1: year old man was just told to go to the the
Speaker 1: apartment with bleeding mouth, and uh, the guy who who
Speaker 1: Who's who? Pistol whipped him? Who I have a rifle
Speaker 1: on in the hallway. When the police get there, he
Speaker 1: was allowed to leave and go downstairs into an apartment
Speaker 1: each other. They were not interested in enforcing laws in
Speaker 1: any these situations. And what I did instead was I
Speaker 1: decided that instead of blaming the police or being a victim,
Speaker 1: I decided to take charge of the situation and create
Speaker 1: a change, positive change. So I explained to them that
Speaker 1: this will no longer be tolerated. We're not going to
Speaker 1: have that. It's a good place for families to lives.
Speaker 1: Where I live. My rightful covers from here to here
Speaker 1: to here to here, So all these streets are covered.
Speaker 1: These for streets. You're gonna do Mayham where somewhere else,
Speaker 1: but on these streets right here where I live, you're
Speaker 1: gonna not be able to harm these families. Twenty far
Speaker 1: as day, seven days a week. I can sum that up.
Speaker 1: Never be to the aggressive, but fight with those who
Speaker 1: fight with you, Yes, And what that means that you
Speaker 1: have to So if I want them not to aggress,
Speaker 1: I may have to make them believe that they will
Speaker 1: not win. If they believe they can win, they're gonna
Speaker 1: try and they can't win. Therefore I'd be actually setting
Speaker 1: them up to to have to kill them. So I
Speaker 1: can all say is that in the community, cleaning up
Speaker 1: the community, I was able to do it without killing
Speaker 1: anyone there. So in that community where I start on
Speaker 1: the east Side, which they called crack Alley, this area
Speaker 1: was so bad they just believe. They just believe it
Speaker 1: couldn't change. The people live there believe it, and the
Speaker 1: police believe it could not change. And so once I
Speaker 1: got rid of those nine one calls, the police started
Speaker 1: supporting us. The police were like, well, whatever you do,
Speaker 1: and I'm not getting any legal complaints. There's no federal complaints,
Speaker 1: there's no state complaints, there's no lawsuits against police department.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to you know, the police department began
Speaker 1: to support us very positive as a result of Yeah,
Speaker 1: as as a result of the fact that we were
Speaker 1: creating positive for the community in general. And when you
Speaker 1: create a safe place for the families, that occupancy goes
Speaker 1: from to a waiting list. That means that what you
Speaker 1: do by protecting the people is you create prosperity. So
Speaker 1: you make rich people richer by making poor people safer.
Speaker 1: Say that again, you make rich people richer by making
Speaker 1: poor people safer. So that's never heard that before. But
Speaker 1: that's profound. That's profound. That that's purpose of the book
Speaker 1: to share with you how that happens, because it's a
Speaker 1: naturally occurring outcome. So I'm not a nonprofit. I get
Speaker 1: money for protecting rich people. Rich people fund everything I do.
Speaker 1: I started with a dog and a rifle and no money.
Speaker 1: Now I got boats and armored vehicles on kinds of
Speaker 1: cars and things. Prosperity right, But that came from that
Speaker 1: came from protecting people. So successfully protecting people means there's
Speaker 1: a profit. So I don't need any handouts. I don't
Speaker 1: need anything from the government. No one gives me anything.
Speaker 1: I don't have any loans. And when you loan me anything,
Speaker 1: I built it through sweat equity. So the money I
Speaker 1: have comes from creating positive conditions for wealthy people. I
Speaker 1: make them pay a great deal of money to get
Speaker 1: no discounts. They pay double. Rich people pay double. That's
Speaker 1: my rule, and then I have money left over to
Speaker 1: protect all people, doesn't matter where they live, what their
Speaker 1: religion is, what their ethnicity is we protect all kinds
Speaker 1: of people in all communities, and we don't just protect
Speaker 1: you in Detroit. So we're ex The first prosecutor's office
Speaker 1: to actually ask us to protect people for free was
Speaker 1: Oakland County, and openly County is the richest community in Michigan.
Speaker 1: And these are women that are being tortured and terror
Speaker 1: terrorized and and uh attempted to be murdered by men
Speaker 1: that are wealthy, and they're in the suburbs, and there's
Speaker 1: no one to protect them out there either. We just
Speaker 1: think there is. There's no protection no matter where you live.
Speaker 1: When someone's coming to kill you, it's you and the killer,
Speaker 1: and the police can get there if they can. And
Speaker 1: police do get there, that's great, But unfortunately, the way
Speaker 1: crime works and violence, violence is here and now, and
Speaker 1: the police are gonna be coming for somewhere else. So
Speaker 1: you look at active shooters, most act shooters are killed
Speaker 1: by themselves, that are killed by responders. First responders are
Speaker 1: their way after the response, and so it's just it's
Speaker 1: just the way where it's not the police are bad
Speaker 1: or slow. It's the reality that no matter how fast
Speaker 1: the police get there, it's not gonna be fast enough
Speaker 1: to give example, in one of the home invasion situations,
Speaker 1: I got there in seven minutes as five minute went
Speaker 1: into a ladies house it was actually a paying client.
Speaker 1: Seven minutes, which is pretty fast. Uh. When I got there,
Speaker 1: there were three police cars and there's about ten officers
Speaker 1: already there. They beat me there by five minutes. They
Speaker 1: got to this house within two and a half three
Speaker 1: minutes of the alarm going off. They had left a
Speaker 1: raid uh to two blocks down from this house, so
Speaker 1: when the call came in they said to go two
Speaker 1: blocks over to respond to a home invasion. By the
Speaker 1: time they got there, with engines blaring, so you know
Speaker 1: they're flooring. You can hear the engines from you know,
Speaker 1: a mile away. So by the time they floored and
Speaker 1: got to the house, the criminals all heard the police
Speaker 1: cars coming and just took off and all scattered around
Speaker 1: the area they call. They didn't catch anyone. So that's
Speaker 1: an example of even being very fast to response situation,
Speaker 1: he still are not gonna win. That's why what's what
Speaker 1: matters is protection. If we don't want someone to do crime,
Speaker 1: to rape robin murder people, we have to go there
Speaker 1: before they rape Robin murder and prevent the rape, roberty, murder.
Speaker 1: And if we want our police to do that, we
Speaker 1: need to reward them for that. So that's something that
Speaker 1: we hope to hopefully support the futures, having businesses help
Speaker 1: support paying police officers bonuses for the things you want
Speaker 1: them to do, including training them. So I have a
Speaker 1: training program for how you're gonna beat the robert. How
Speaker 1: are you gonna beat the robbert to the crime where
Speaker 1: he already premeditating the plotting and planet right, And that's
Speaker 1: where you beat him at in the plotting and planet
Speaker 1: So if they don't believe they can rob, rape, and
Speaker 1: kill someone, they don't you have to beat them in
Speaker 1: their belief system. So the number of robberies in this
Speaker 1: mall of stores is probably very low. Why they don't
Speaker 1: believe they can get into the mall and get out
Speaker 1: of them all safely, so they don't do that. The
Speaker 1: same store being somewhere else could easily be robbed because
Speaker 1: it's inside of them all. So being inside of the
Speaker 1: mall gives you a degree of safety simply because the
Speaker 1: criminals don't know how they can get in and then
Speaker 1: get out. So we tactically using fear as a deterrent.
Speaker 1: Fear is that the deterrent they have to fear consequences.
Speaker 1: The moment they believe there's no consequences, they're actually going
Speaker 1: to try. So once you tell someone you know it's
Speaker 1: not that's not against the law, you can do that
Speaker 1: to someone and then you can't get caught. Most likely,
Speaker 1: once they even believe that, whether it's true or not,
Speaker 1: they're going to try something. So they have to believe
Speaker 1: that there's no opportunity. We call opportunity denial. Opportunity denial
Speaker 1: is the way to create safety safely. So once you
Speaker 1: create the idea that opportunity exists, you're actually creating violence.
Speaker 1: You're creating conflicts. That's kind of what's taking place in
Speaker 1: society right now with the UH. If you don't if
Speaker 1: you don't have a thousand dollars, you're still in I
Speaker 1: think you have to still more than a thousand dollars
Speaker 1: to even be arrested. I think that that creates a
Speaker 1: center correct if you if they know personals they can't
Speaker 1: get arrested, they're gonna be doing anything. But it's a
Speaker 1: bottom line. So what you gotta do is make it
Speaker 1: more difficult for them to UH be able to get access.
Speaker 1: So for example, if their glass here, if you have
Speaker 1: two doorways and you have to buzz them in or
Speaker 1: buzz them out, that's how you stop people from coming
Speaker 1: in and snatch stuff. They can't be but they gotta
Speaker 1: be buzzed out. Therefore they can't get out. So they
Speaker 1: know that. So what do is happen? Most while people
Speaker 1: there and then try to block the door? Right, one
Speaker 1: person block door, So you have to make sure that
Speaker 1: you have so far apart that you can block the door.
Speaker 1: That's at Walmart. I think they shed it all about
Speaker 1: four hundred million dollars. Well, most of the most of
Speaker 1: their theft is internal. Remember that. So in big companies
Speaker 1: eighty percent of shrink is internal. So every dollar they're
Speaker 1: talking about, remember eight of those dollars, it's really them,
Speaker 1: their employees doing that. So the managers working with security,
Speaker 1: working with these people. Where those people, not all of them,
Speaker 1: just like this store. So remember that theft is internal
Speaker 1: in all organizations, uh, in all types of companies. Okay,
Speaker 1: so one more, This book is about one thing, how
Speaker 1: you can learn from our journey over the past twenty
Speaker 1: seven years, UH to help you make good decisions for
Speaker 1: you and your family. But you're learning the actual stories
Speaker 1: from how we used our system and you can use
Speaker 1: it for your family, for your community as well. Commanded
Speaker 1: Brow appreciate and in interview about the Urban Survival Chronicles,
Speaker 1: the question is does the strategies work? They didn't. There
Speaker 1: will be no book. And you heard it from Commander
Speaker 1: Brown right here on my leak book show. Appreciate you,
Speaker 1: my brother. We had an amazing turnout at the Winter
Speaker 1: Wonderland book giveaway, overwhelming turnout from the community. The ball
Speaker 1: and Hills Creenshaw applies. The mall was just transformed into
Speaker 1: a community hub where people came from all over to

Speaker 1: it was just a fun event, a festive event, a

Speaker 1: amazing response. I understand that they might give out around
Speaker 1: twelve thousand toys, but we was able to give out
Speaker 1: around three thousand books. So give thanks, give thanks. So
Speaker 1: you know, one of the things about Melik's Bookshop bringing
Speaker 1: the world together with books, culture and community is the
Speaker 1: fact that, um, we're about community, and this week was
Speaker 1: a community event and uh and every it was festive,
Speaker 1: it was a holiday spirit. And you know, you can
Speaker 1: go on to social our social media Malik Books and
Speaker 1: follow us and you could see some of the the
Speaker 1: giveaways and what was taking place at the Winning Wonderland.
Speaker 1: So anyway, uh, that's all about community. Thank you. We're
Speaker 1: back with back with the Maliek's mail bag. I got
Speaker 1: some explosive questions that were emailed to me from Jaden
Speaker 1: and Windsor Hills Malik. After listening to big tech censorship,
Speaker 1: I had to write in I respect you as a businessman,
Speaker 1: a father, a husband, and a man of the community.
Speaker 1: But this ain't it. Brother. You said you're not taking aside,
Speaker 1: but all you're doing is reciting right wing talking points.
Speaker 1: Twitter took down new photos of Hunter Biden at the
Speaker 1: request of the Biden campaign. Who cares that validates Twitter's
Speaker 1: terms of service anyway? Also can Elon must be trusted
Speaker 1: to release all the files are just the ones that
Speaker 1: supposedly make the Democrats look bad. Your points about black
Speaker 1: people being silent are well taken, but Trump lost fair
Speaker 1: and square. Don't drink the kool aid. J You packed
Speaker 1: a loading question. I'm gonna try to do my best
Speaker 1: about the big text sense you shure. I'm glad you
Speaker 1: took an interest and wrote me, But hey, I don't
Speaker 1: know if I have enough time to ask you everything.
Speaker 1: I only even voted a certain amount of time to
Speaker 1: the Melik's mail bag. But listen, Jaden, I'm a black
Speaker 1: man in America then knows the history of both the
Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats. But no party right or left has
Speaker 1: been fair or just two black people on a consistent basis.
Speaker 1: We have gotten some inroads from both parties. There are
Speaker 1: issues that I identify both on the left and the right.
Speaker 1: I like the fact that Obama wanted to give universal
Speaker 1: health care. Now that might strike you, Jaden, but I
Speaker 1: like that idea. But I know for a fight. Historically
Speaker 1: in this country, the number one party who has wanted
Speaker 1: the censor free speech has always been the left, the Democrat,
Speaker 1: the liberals, and that has not changed to day. Jim
Speaker 1: Crow was started by the left. They would sick dogs,
Speaker 1: water holes on black people to sionist us, to put
Speaker 1: fear in us. The clue cause Klan was invented by
Speaker 1: the left to enforce fear in black people. So nothing
Speaker 1: has changed the date. Censorship is a known fight to
Speaker 1: be a strategy. The FBI and the murder in government
Speaker 1: has used the silence black people. Now, as far as
Speaker 1: me identify with certain points on the right, okay, hey,
Speaker 1: but that don't mean identify with the Republicans, I don't
Speaker 1: represent neither party because both parties have silence black people,
Speaker 1: oppressed black people, imprisoned black people, and have destroyed the
Speaker 1: black family. So don't put me in that trick bag. Jaden,
Speaker 1: I think you're drinking that cool aid. You think that
Speaker 1: the big texts companies are not colluding and conspond with
Speaker 1: this government. They're coordinating and writing service terms that are
Speaker 1: discriminating against different groups of people in different ideologies, simply
Speaker 1: because it don't fit the narrative. Now, you can believe
Speaker 1: Jaden all you want, but the way you think, and
Speaker 1: that's fine. But I'm under no illusion that it's all
Speaker 1: about power and what power comes control. They have to
Speaker 1: control this influence that is taking place on this social
Speaker 1: media and it's to their interests. They really believe, I'm
Speaker 1: talking about the gun believe this is in the best
Speaker 1: interests of America. That benefits their interests. It is not
Speaker 1: in the best interests of the society and the citizens
Speaker 1: because they are disseminating disinformation with the very definition of censorship.
Speaker 1: What it took down hunting Biden's new pictures. I think
Speaker 1: they should, but they ain't stopping all those new pictures
Speaker 1: with thongs, all these women's booty sticking wide old crotches,
Speaker 1: who spread it, you know, left to the right, But
Speaker 1: they ain't stopping none of that off of the social
Speaker 1: media is all kind of filth and decadous on this
Speaker 1: social media. They ain't stopping nothing that, they're not censoring
Speaker 1: none of that. But they're censoring people when it ain't
Speaker 1: in the best interests of the government. I see a
Speaker 1: whole lot of up on there that they allowed this
Speaker 1: hate speech towards black people and it's still posted. But
Speaker 1: that's okay because it ain't in the entrance of the
Speaker 1: government to stop the killing and stop the hate speech
Speaker 1: towards blacks. And so they guess what, So it's just
Speaker 1: laced in field in honeycomb with nothing but vile things
Speaker 1: against black people. New photos absolutely should be taken down,
Speaker 1: But that's not what they censored. What they censored was
Speaker 1: information about hit about our president, on Biden being involved
Speaker 1: in business dealings in Ukraine, China and different companies around
Speaker 1: the world, and the relationship that Biden had with his
Speaker 1: father and him being mentioned in there under many various
Speaker 1: terms like the big guy and so forth. Washington Post
Speaker 1: is a big paper, they don't publish. They can be
Speaker 1: sued for putting information out this false. And what took
Speaker 1: place was they were Sensor, a huge company, uh like
Speaker 1: Washington Post was Sensor and material was taken down only
Speaker 1: for two years later where all these major news payer
Speaker 1: and they're admitting that that laptop was legit number one,
Speaker 1: So why was it taken down? Yes, while Elon Musk
Speaker 1: is revealing all these receipts about the government FBI colluding,
Speaker 1: conspiring and manipulating and coordinating with the big tech companies
Speaker 1: the sensor information about Hunter Biden, about Trump or whatever.
Speaker 1: They ain't censoring all that hate speech against black people
Speaker 1: and all of them lives put all throughout the social
Speaker 1: media about black people and all that new this all
Speaker 1: over the social media, this causing licension behavior in society.
Speaker 1: Social media is a platform for people to put their
Speaker 1: information or content on their The social media is not
Speaker 1: supposed to be editing. What they're doing is editing, and
Speaker 1: that means they shouldn't be protected because they end in
Speaker 1: the business of entity. And that's where I believe that
Speaker 1: they're coming up against the free speech because they're editing content,
Speaker 1: they're controlling content, and so there I think that they're
Speaker 1: in violation and I think that they went too far.
Speaker 1: And Jayden, if you think that elections are fair, then
Speaker 1: you have truly drink kool aid. A no election fair.
Speaker 1: First of all, presidents are selected, not elected. I do
Speaker 1: not believe there are any fair and free elections. They
Speaker 1: all manipulate one way, shape or form, and the power
Speaker 1: structure that wants to control the outcome in these elections
Speaker 1: are heavily involved. They have done many polls since the
Speaker 1: presidential election, and the majority and make people believes something
Speaker 1: was wrong with this last election and that big Tech
Speaker 1: interfered in the presidential election in their censorship of the
Speaker 1: Hunter of Biden laptop. So, Jayden, thank you for your question.
Speaker 1: I hope I was able to answer your questions from
Speaker 1: Elijah in South l A Malik, I think you need
Speaker 1: to brush up on the First Amendment. Free speech does
Speaker 1: not mean that every platform in the world is required
Speaker 1: to let you say whatever you want whenever you want.
Speaker 1: Twitter has rules, and if they are valuated, you are
Speaker 1: kicked off. It's simple. If you start doing anti semitic
Speaker 1: rents on your podcast, like Kanye I Heart Radio would
Speaker 1: stop putting it out. Can you be arrested for those rents? No,
Speaker 1: that is freedom of speech. Twitter isn't taking away anyone's
Speaker 1: First Amendment rights, and certainly not major political figures who
Speaker 1: can be on televisi whenever they want. Okay, that's a
Speaker 1: loaded question. Again, ELI appreciate it, thank you. But my
Speaker 1: main focus, like I said on the Big Tense sign ship,
Speaker 1: is the fact that we need to be aware that
Speaker 1: you know, people are being targeted on social media and
Speaker 1: being taken off, eliminated, suspended for views and points there
Speaker 1: are not once again acceptable to a certain party. Now
Speaker 1: as far as free speech, you know, I know you
Speaker 1: can't say like you in the theater. This is the classic.
Speaker 1: If you're in the theater and shout fire, there's no
Speaker 1: fire and people start stampede and running out and there's
Speaker 1: no firing. Somebody to get hurt. You can get arrested
Speaker 1: for that and know why because you put people in
Speaker 1: danger and you put people at risk, all right, So
Speaker 1: there are rules and parameters. All right, this is not
Speaker 1: the case. Okay, this is not people shouting fire. People
Speaker 1: have been sensored and eliminated off of social media simply
Speaker 1: because they didn't agree with certain things about the vaccination
Speaker 1: and they were censored and eliminated. People have spoken things
Speaker 1: about the government. The government didn't like It's Big Tech
Speaker 1: didn't like it, and they removed them from social media.
Speaker 1: So that's black people and that's white people. And in
Speaker 1: different have been censored because their views are different. Now
Speaker 1: it's not sometimes it's not. What you say is how
Speaker 1: you say it. And the thing is, anytime you're trying
Speaker 1: to speak to an audience, you need to speak in
Speaker 1: a way that you are effective and can communicate, all right,
Speaker 1: and you need to be aware of that. There's responsibility
Speaker 1: come with being free and therefore you need to meet
Speaker 1: those responsibilities. So when it comes to free speech, no,
Speaker 1: I don't think big tech had a right to edit
Speaker 1: people and take people things off. And they're able to
Speaker 1: get away with that because politicians are allowing them, not
Speaker 1: because they are an independent business. They are discriminating. That
Speaker 1: is my and this is how I see it. They
Speaker 1: are discriminating and they're getting away with it because politicians
Speaker 1: are not standing up to defend the rights of the
Speaker 1: people in America because it's to their benefit that they
Speaker 1: control the masters of the people and what they think
Speaker 1: and how they think. So when you say to me,
Speaker 1: Elijah that I need to brush over free speak, I
Speaker 1: think you need to because the small man today censor,
Speaker 1: the big man tomorrow censor, and that's exactly what has happened.
Speaker 1: You need to brush up on your First Amendment, because
Speaker 1: I'm not not under the illusion that when a person
Speaker 1: is empowered they want to control the way people think.
Speaker 1: They don't. They spend billions and billions it is to
Speaker 1: influence how you think, what you wear, what you say,
Speaker 1: how you men see the world. Hey, look, this is
Speaker 1: we're live in the world. You got to stop being
Speaker 1: living in a fairy tale. Power is power, and power
Speaker 1: people control many industries because of their power, and big
Speaker 1: Tech independently popped up this government just couldn't have it
Speaker 1: run wild and let anything and everything on there without
Speaker 1: controlling it. So that's what they're doing. They want to
Speaker 1: control what's being put on there. And it's under free speech,
Speaker 1: and there are discriminating because you can wear, like I said,
Speaker 1: you can wear thongs, you can be half new you
Speaker 1: could say some of the most filthiest things sexually and
Speaker 1: what beyond social media. But the minute you say something
Speaker 1: is pro black or anti government or against somebody's religious belief,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now you gotta what you gotta
Speaker 1: be sensive, all right, whof you know? And that's the
Speaker 1: argument here, And it ain't got nothing to do with
Speaker 1: protecting free speech. That's not what they're doing their sensory
Speaker 1: free speech, and it's bigger than all else. And the
Speaker 1: reality is that I knew years ago that day was
Speaker 1: going in this direction and that's exactly what they did.
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's my thoughts on these questions. Man. You know,
Speaker 1: like I said, um, I think it's important how you
Speaker 1: say things and what you say, and I think you
Speaker 1: need to choose your words carefully, absolutely, and some people
Speaker 1: do that better than other people. And I think that
Speaker 1: you know, um, big tech is violating our First Amendment right.
Speaker 1: And that's my take on that. Thanks for listening to
