Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to Malik's bookshelf, 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:20.520 bringing a world together with books, culture and community, changing 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:23.560 the world with one book at a time. I've done 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:27.159 this on this episode. I've done a few interviews I 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:28.080 wanted at the air. 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:30.720 But I know what everybody's talking about. 0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:36.239 Everybody's talking about Hurricane Hallaane, the. 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:40.240 Election, and always Donald Trump. 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:40.919 You know it. 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:45.080 He probably is the most talked about character in the world. 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:46.520 I don't think that there's. 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:51.720 A last name more known in the world today than Trump. 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:58.080 It's incredible to watch over these years just all that 0:00:58.120 --> 0:00:58.840 has happened. 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:03.640 We're talking impeach me, We're talking about trials, We're talking 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:09.280 about a number of issues that have plagged and has 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.160 handicapped Trump. 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:13.480 They've tried to throw them in jail. 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:18.959 They've tried that Russian propaganda, the Russian Gate, where they 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:20.199 trumped up. 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.240 Charges that he was working with the Russians. 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.800 They spent probably fifty sixty seventy one hundred million dollars 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.479 trying to make this case and that didn't work. 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.960 I mean, I've never seen a man more. 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.240 Viserted and tried to annihilate in the media than any 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:41.280 other part. I thought, you know, Milcael, Max Martin, Luther King, Lewis, 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:47.440 Ferri Khan, Elijah Muhammad, the corn Tail pro program with 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:48.600 Jago Hoover. 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:56.200 And all the FBI cointail programs that tried to undermine them. 0:01:56.400 --> 0:02:00.720 I thought that that was worse. I'm be honest, I've. 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:05.040 Never seen a white being there be more persecuted than 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.079 Donald Trump in my lifetime. No have I ever read 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:12.320 any other figure that has been more persecuted than Donald Trump. 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:13.680 Listen, I'm not trying to defend. 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.480 I mean, people love him, people hate him. He's probably 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.840 the most loved white man in America, and he's also 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:25.040 the most hated white man probably in America. 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:25.280 If not the world. 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:30.360 There's a ninety eight percent of all the negative coverage, 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.800 all the information when they talk about Trump is ninety 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:35.360 eight percent. 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:37.320 I saw the Harvard Poles and all. 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:38.000 These other poles. 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.040 They say ninety eight percent of all the coverage on 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.320 Donald Trump is negative. 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:44.079 Negative. 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:51.320 He has been convicted in a court of law in New. 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:57.240 York, and anytime anybody embraces Trump, they're persecuted, they're shamed that. 0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.760 You know, it's a lot so when they survey in, 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.880 they don't want to tell you that they with Trump. 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:04.520 They don't want to tell you that they're gonna vote 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.960 for them, They're gonna vote their economy. They don't want 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.160 to tell you that some of the issues that they 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.280 stand with Trump, they don't want to tell you that 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.320 they agree. Like I talk to a lot of black 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:20.120 people right not about Trump, but about the word success. Like, 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.320 I don't know too many people that I've come across 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:27.359 that has created a real estate being their empire as 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:32.600 well as a social media being their business. You throw 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.680 Trump off the social media, he creates his own social media, 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.600 and it's evaluation of his social media truth. 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.680 Social is in the beings now. 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.880 To me, you gotta study that success because it's a 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.880 lot of people who has thrown off social media. Aleix Jones, 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.120 Farry Kahn, a whole lot of people, and they eat 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:52.920 built no social. 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:56.920 Media platform, no media outlet to get their voice and 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:58.360 their message and their word out. 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:02.200 You know, I'm afraid about this freedom of speech because 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.400 I think it's an assault on freedom of speech. We 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.640 don't have to like what you say. Like, if you 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:09.800 don't like what I'm saying, you could turn the channel. 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.040 But to say I shouldn't have a right to say it, 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.160 I think it's just our right wrong censorship. I don't 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:19.039 believe in censorship. I believe in age appropriate reading or 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.239 things you know, But I don't believe that you should 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.520 be censoring people because you don't like what they say. 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:25.880 There's a lot of stuff I don't like being said, 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.039 but that doesn't mean I just turned the channel, or 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.080 change or change the book. Why sit there and try 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:35.400 to persecute people, shame people for how they. 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:35.960 Think they want to. 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.839 I do believe there's a movement here just trying to 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:44.280 silence people who think different and think out the box. 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.080 There never would have been a Martin. 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.440 Luther King, there never would have been milcaelm X, there 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:54.440 never would have been anybody who stands up for justice. 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:56.000 If you silence free. 0:04:56.080 --> 0:05:00.320 That's the bedrock principle, the First Amendment rights, the Bill 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:01.400 of Rights in America. 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.480 To me, that's what make America different. 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.760 From any other nation on the planet. The right to 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:10.719 say what you believe and think. And I'm not saying 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:15.920 that there's not consequences because you know that's being unrealistic. 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:17.800 But what I'm saying is you should have a right 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:22.520 to say it, and like freedom doesn't happen without consequences. 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.800 I'm not saying that there's no consequence for saying certain things. 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.360 There are limits, but you should be allowed to say 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.599 it and not be censored because you don't like what 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:33.320 a person say. 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.800 That's a difference like this, ain't. 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:40.599 Yelling fire in a theater and causing a riot and 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.040 people get hurt. You know, yeah, that's a you know 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.600 you the free speech don't protect that. No, these people 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:49.480 who want to go on college cap and just speak, 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:53.080 you know that, people who disagree with climate change and 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.919 you being silenced because they don't want you to speak 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:57.960 your mind and your. 0:05:57.839 --> 0:05:58.560 Heart about that. 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:03.360 There are people we'll get certain things about abortion and 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.840 a being attacked for speaking in mind that people think different. 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.480 About the war in Israel, the war in Russia. 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.960 But if you think different, what happens is you'll persecutre 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.640 There people who think certain things, believe in reparations. 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.000 Shouldn't you have a right to talk about it. 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.239 You don't have to agree with it, but you can't 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.640 say America and I did episode on reparation. Man, This 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.760 in the eighty something trillion dollars is what they calculate 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:34.280 from all the horrific attacks and murders and rapes and 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:41.760 oppression that has taken place for centuries in America, and 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.720 the Constitution reduced black people to property knowing that they 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.400 knew we were human beings, and they want to act 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.480 as though the diamagions that was done. 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.839 You know, it's not violid. You know, there's no statute 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:59.520 of limitation on rape, on murder, on murder, onslavement. There's 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.760 no stat limitation. You did what you did. 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.479 And free education and free health care is not payment 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:14.080 for generational destruction. We have to have generational change for 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.640 enough to improve the quality of life of black people 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:22.200 and the former enslavers and slaves of America. And that's 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.400 a legitimate conversation that needs to be had, whether you 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:29.720 agree with it or not. But it's not a looney 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:30.760 tune subject. 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.840 No, there there. 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:33.720 It is a. 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.440 Concrete fact that. 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.960 Enslaving occurred in America and that black people was oppressed 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:47.040 and a slave for centuries and murdered and raped and oppressed. 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:54.280 So this is a legitimate legal conversation in time is 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.960 not going to erase that fact. You can try to erase, 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.280 but it ain't all right. And there are people suffering 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:07.240 in America. Traumatic slavery syndrome exists, just like the same 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.960 trauma that exists when people go to war and people 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.920 are suffering, We have trauma. A lot of Black people 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:19.960 are still suffering from trauma. You know, when PDD beat Cassie, 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:24.480 that's traumatic slavery being passed on. You don't beat down 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.840 no woman like that, But that's how black people was 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.960 beat down, and our women was beat down doing slavery. 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:31.640 The slave master beat our. 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:33.960 Women like that in front of the men, and a 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.000 lot of men think that that's the way to deal 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.760 with that woman and control that woman. Just because a 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.760 lot of this domestic violence just happening all across in 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:42.760 the black community. 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:47.120 There's a lot has to do with trauma from slavery. 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:53.800 People snapping ingrams, thing impediments keeping us from change, and 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:55.800 it has to be addressed. These are a lot of 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.840 terminal mental issues that have to be addressed that are 0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:02.640 not being and it's all over this country. And all 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.240 I'm saying, I'm not excusing Big B Diddy, but what 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:09.400 I'm saying is is the actors though the effects of 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.440 slavery from generation the generation telling black people there nothing, 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.160 ain't gonna never do nothing, ain't gonna never be nothing, 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.680 And all you're supposed to do is take this black 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:22.480 job we created, which is digging it, shoveling shit, picking 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.559 up garbage that you can't be. You know, That's what 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:29.000 when Obama won president, that's why that was so important 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.160 because it showed black people you don't have to do 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:35.360 all those set aside black jobs that are in America. 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.000 You can be something different. You could be the doctor, 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.120 you can be the engineer. You could be the President 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.520 of America. You could be you know, the person who's 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:47.000 over all the museums and the arch You can be 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.360 over telecommunicator, you could be a CEO. 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.000 You could be all those great things in America. 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.000 And you don't have to be just a trash truck 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.240 driver and shoveling shit and picking up cotton and all 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:03.120 the the jobs that nobody want to do. You know, 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.120 like at these filtering plays, you know people have to 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.400 jump in the shit and fix a lot of those 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:11.040 filtering places where all the sanitizer, all the ways go to. 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:12.960 You don't have to do all that you could do 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:17.839 other things. And I think that that's a conversation that 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.920 gotta be had, not not have, because people tend to 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.960 think that all we bent over backwards for these black 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.520 folks and they still complaining, you ain't white. 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.800 America ain't been over backwards for no man. 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:32.920 Black people are resilient and with black excellence is occur 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:38.280 because of all the sacrifices that we made. No matter 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:40.600 what obstacles that were put in our way. 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.320 We over We did what we. 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.920 Needed to do to become that lawyer in that doctor, 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:52.400 despite like in the aerospace hidden figures, despite Katherine Johnson, 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:57.240 the human computer people going wanted to work on IBM machines. 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.840 I know the history. I'm a bookstore. We are resilience 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:05.640 Black people, and we are stepped up. We have forged through. 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:07.760 The oppression and the raciystem. 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.679 And they write books about how we. 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.800 Find joy black joy despite everything that we've been through. 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:16.079 And all I'm saying. 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:20.240 Is is the topics of the day are voting and 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:21.120 voting got power. 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:22.559 The only gonna get that twisted. 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.640 Now, that's why they spend a lot of money, people 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.079 trying to control the flow of money. 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.400 The cold flow of these contracts. 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.280 It's a lot of money involved, it's a lot of 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:34.360 power involved. 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.439 But black folks typically. 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.680 We don't know who really to vote for because they 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.760 use our vote to elect their officials and they do 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:45.840 very little for us. And that's why it's disheartening because 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.240 we don't seem to make progress that we vote. We 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:54.079 got more politicians in America than any other culture, ethnicity, 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:58.000 or group, and yet over ten thousand black politicians and 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.600 yet nothing has changed. And that's been going on since 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:01.760 nineteen sixties. 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.720 So what's the problem. The problem is there is no 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:10.160 black agenda, There is no real help. 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.840 They dangle what they want to do, but don't do 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:15.520 once we vote them in power. 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:16.680 It's a problem. 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:20.040 I think all black people should be independent. Make people 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:23.000 do for us to get our vote. We should be independent. 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.199 I'm not saying don't vote, but we need to learn 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.440 how to vote. We need to learn that that that 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.680 we can have so much more and do so much more. 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:37.959 So we gotta work on. Okay, let me get back 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:43.160 to this. I'm talking to black male were taxing. 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:47.040 Were talking. He has his own little radio program as. 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:53.640 Well, and we're talking about the meaning of success, all right, 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.720 and I just said, listen, man. The basic definition is 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:01.000 what Webster says to a com it's your goal. If 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:04.040 I set out to win the United States presidency and 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.800 I win, that's success. 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.199 Now if I set out. 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:13.840 To create a being their company and I do it. 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:14.479 That's success. 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:19.679 And if I create too being their companies, that's double success. 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.559 And I said that the brother, how do you define success? 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.040 And he went off to tell me it's based upon 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:30.120 mals and ethics, And I said, brother, that's not the dictionary. 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.319 It's just the compass of goal. If America set out 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:36.080 to build a new world, did they do it? Yes? 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.040 Did they enslave people to do it? Yet? 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.360 Did they commit genocide on the Yes? But that don't 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:42.720 have nothing to do with the fact. 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:44.480 That's more ethic. 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:48.400 That's some methodology and tactics and strategies that they used 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:52.559 that allowed them to be successful. But they are successful 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:58.000 regardless of the oppression, regardless of the murders and the 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:02.240 rape and the slave and the genocide of the Indians. 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:05.960 They America, the new world was built, and the greatest 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.040 nation on the planet was a stop of the United 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:17.000 States of America, the biggest economy in the world. 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:12.440 The. 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:18.600 Most cherished nation on the planet, got more nuclear weapons, 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:24.480 more technological advantages. Just you know, hey, we could debate morality, 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.000 we could debate ethics, but that don't have nothing to 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:28.840 do with if you successful or not. 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:31.160 The worst success. 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:34.880 Simply means the accomplished gold and they don't talk about 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.680 the tactics and the strategies that you implement. 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.280 And they might be horrifying, and they are. 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:44.480 But I'm like, you can't tell me Donald Trump is 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:45.359 not successful. 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:46.840 I don't care how much you hate them. 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.480 This dude built to being their companies, a real estate 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:56.080 empire being their company, and a true social media that's success. 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.360 Whether you like it or not, that's success and that 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:00.360 need to be study. 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.880 Because he didn't complain about being thrown off of social media. 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:07.560 He created his own. I respect that. I don't have 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:11.760 to agree with him in every element. But the man 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:12.600 is successful. 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.680 He's gonna be studied both in the political, business and 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:21.280 marketing world, probably for centuries because he's. 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:22.560 Like an anominee outlier. 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.280 I mean, the man is a winner. 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:30.560 And the reality is that we have to study success, 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.280 whether we like the methods or not. 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:38.200 The thing is that's how you learn. You learn through 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.280 your failures and you learn through. 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:49.560 People winning and accomplishing and evolving into what we consider success. 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:51.160 You gotta study that. 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:55.400 Sitting around here, I'm debating him on whether or not 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.760 Trump is success. I said, man, listen, I'm not gonna 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.600 be deceived. You don't get to where you got. That 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.120 man smarter than me, ain't even put together. 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:05.160 I ain't no being there. 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:09.840 All I'm saying is he is. You can't be stupid 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.600 and be that successful, all right. No one gets to 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:14.560 the levels they got and say they're stupid. 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:15.000 All right. 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.360 You got to be have some measure of intelligence, can't. 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:22.480 You don't have to agree with with his method, but 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:24.840 the point is you can't say the man not successful. 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.200 That's the point you're deceiving yourself. 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:32.480 And that's called deception intelligence when you deceive your own 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.880 self to rationalize your belief. And that's what a lot 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.640 of people are doing because they basing it on emotion 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:40.240 and not actual fight. 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.560 It's a fight the man is a being there. It's 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.320 a fight that he created to be in their companies. 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.200 It's a fight that the man ain't stupid. It's a 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:51.160 fight that he's highly intelligent. Whether you agree with him 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.880 or not. It's a fight that the dude has charisma. Otherwise, 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.240 how could you get hundreds of thousands of people to 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:58.000 come out. 0:16:57.840 --> 0:16:58.840 And listen to him? 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.120 All Right, you could say that he's off script and 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:05.119 all that. The point is the man is entertaining. People 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:05.560 come out. 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:07.760 They love him. He's the most loved. 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:10.920 Person in American also probably the most hated in America, 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:11.840 if not the world. 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:15.480 His name is recognized all over the world. And I'm just. 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.200 Calling a spade a spade. I'm not trying to defend them. 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.760 I don't have to defend him. He could defend his 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:23.000 own stuff. He do quite well at that. But the 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:26.600 point I'm talking about is the man is successful, and 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.399 I'm not here to sit here and say he not. 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:32.440 I'm not gonna drink that kool aid and deceive myself. 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:36.120 I know what success is, and there are a lot 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:39.280 of things in America that are successful that I don't 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:42.879 agree with, but they're successful at it. You know, the 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:48.840 aerospace industry, well, the well, I mean, the military industrial 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:53.879 complict is second to none in the world. But you know, 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:57.400 I don't agree with all these weapons of mass destruction 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:02.399 because people don't build these weapons, not the intend to 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:03.399 use them if they have to. 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:05.679 So I'm concerned about that. 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.680 That's why I think last week I said what's more 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:13.800 likely to kill humanity, climate change or nuclear weapons? I 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:15.080 think nuclear weapons. 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:19.440 I think that humanity has shown. 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:24.639 Us that debauchery and the treachery and the onslaught and 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:28.560 the wickedness and the chicanery that they will do in 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.920 order to maintain power. History has shown us that through 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:36.879 the wars and through slaughter, I mean, the brutality then 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:42.880 I've witnessed from humanity, you know, is second to none. 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:47.439 And all I'm saying, I think is likely that the 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.800 Earth will be destroyed by nuclear before climate can change. 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:52.560 Yeah, you can wait around and. 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:58.240 Think that the existential threat to humanity is climate control. 0:18:58.440 --> 0:18:59.919 Over all these. 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:03.119 New weapons, man, you know that you go again drinking 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.400 that kool aid, drinking that kool aid. 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:08.639 They're you know, they are severe wars. 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:13.040 Russia's threatened to use in this proxy war where Ukraine. 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:17.199 America's over there fighting Russia through Ukraine. They threatened if 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:19.040 they do certain things that they gonna. 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:19.760 Use nuclear weapons. 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:22.960 Come on, man, they ain't build these weapons just for deterrent. 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:26.400 They built them that they would use them. And all 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:30.320 I'm saying is is I am not gonna drink that 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:34.200 kool aid and think that something's gonna take another hundred 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:37.200 to a thousand years to affect humanity on the Earth 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:42.359 like climate could change? Is gonna destroy your manity? Before 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:46.880 these weapons are mass extracting the human beings, have they 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:52.040 have done acts of brutality, like slavery, like wars, Come 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:56.840 on man. Leaders of this world have no problem trying 0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:59.320 to maintain power, and they would draw bombs on. 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:01.200 People in order to to do it. 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:08.240 Hiroshima Knakasaki, two atomic bombs dropped on civilians. All right, 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:11.120 People said, oh, well, we would have lost more. Look 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.359 at the rationalize. We would have lost more trying to 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:16.200 go and do a land invasion, So we just dropped 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:19.480 the bombs of terror and then get them to. 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:23.879 Surrender. See the rationale. 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:30.120 See that that they terrorized them, that's terror. The America 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.720 dropped two nuclear bombs on the Japanese. And don't ever 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:38.280 think they're gonna forget that you dropped them on civilians. 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:43.160 And yet they justified, they rationalized, they would rationalize using 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:43.960 these weapons. 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:45.240 So don't be. 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:49.920 Fooled that that's what is a threat to humanity before 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:55.880 climate change and making life hard by making everything electric 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:59.040 and we don't even have electric grid power going out 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:00.560 mentally apolergies one out the. 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:02.000 Other day for ours. 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:07.520 So we got some serious issues to solve and we 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:11.560 need to get to it. But anyway, this election is 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:15.320 coming up. Vote your conscious, don't be shamed, and. 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:16.480 Vote who you think. 0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:19.720 Uh they want somebody else want you to vote for. 0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:22.480 You vote for who you think is best for your site. 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:23.680 But study the facts. 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:27.520 Once again, don't be shamed. All these. 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:31.760 People try to put pressure on you to vote for 0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:35.000 that candidate. But you vote for a person by studying 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:36.840 the facts and what can and what can. 0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:39.159 Benefit you the most. 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:43.600 Like I said, neither party has done much for black people, 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:47.240 for Black America. They just use us as cannon fire 0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:49.919 to get into power and they don't do much. And 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:52.480 I don't and I don't expect that to change. But 0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:58.800
