36
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 4: been you know, sooner. But like you said, you know,

37
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 4: it all happens for a reason. I'm just thankful to

38

39
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 4: let's let's let's kick it off. You know, it's interesting.

40
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: Because our platform is based on you know, economics, finances,

41
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: business and a friend of mine shout out to Val

42
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: She's actually one of the people that inspired me to

43
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: get into social media, and she was she was like, Yo,

44
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if you are aware of this, but

45
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: there's a whole movement on black Twitter about how black

46
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: capitalism is actually bad and it's not good. And she

47
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 2: was like, I want I don't want your platform to

48
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 2: not get ahead of this curve, like at the very least,

49
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: y'all should address it. And I'm like, all right, you know,

50
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: we're open source platform. We don't really take opinions. We

51
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 2: get people different and I'm like, you know, I thought

52
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: about it. I'm like, I personally might not subscribe to that,

53
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: but let me let me hear. Let me ask, so

54
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: are you familiar with that sentiment and what are your

55
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: thoughts on black capitalism?

56
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I'll say this first of all, capitalism is capitalism.

57
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 4: That's just, you know, plain and clear all the way

58
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 4: around the ward. But I'm not too familiar with it.

59
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 4: I do know when it comes to capitalism and using

60
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 4: the leverage of society for economic gains, depending on what

61
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 4: it is, products, business, et cetera, it has ups and downs.

62
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 4: I know that. I know capitalism has been used for

63
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 4: the majority in the negative way as it pertains to

64
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 4: our people when it comes to what has been done

65
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 4: to our people on the part of major businesses and corporation.

66
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 4: So I know that. But then again, it can be used,

67
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: you know, in a good way, in a beneficial way,

68
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 4: but it depends upon how you do it, and it

69
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 4: has to be based on integrity and really caring for

70
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 4: the people more than money, you know what I'm saying. So,

71
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 4: I mean, that's I'll leave it at that. That's pretty

72
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 4: much all I can say on that.

73
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I feel I kind of feel like

74
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: it's everything in life is a balance. And you know,

75
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: we talk about capitalism, socialism. I think there's good and

76
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: bad parts of everything, but I mean we're in a

77
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: capitalistic society, whether we hate it.

78
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 4: And love it.

79
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: So I mean it's kind of like either participate or

80
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: sit on the sideline, but the game is still going

81
00:03:59,280 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: to be played.

82
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 4: That's not how you use it, all right.

83
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, because a lot of people,

84
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: I think speak about things that they might hear and

85
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: they don't really have a full understanding. Like me personally,

86
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: I never really like to talk about stuff that I

87
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 2: don't have a full understanding of. A I don't want

88
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: to just embarrass myself and be. I don't want to

89
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: spread false information. But you actually you're you're a very

90
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: knowledgeable guy.

91
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 4: I can tell you read a lot.

92
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, So when we talk about these things as

93
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: far as the I m F and the international monetary

94
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: system and different banks and things of that nature, can

95
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: you give us a.

96
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 4: Se it's getting heated. Can you give.

97
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 2: Us an education on what that because, like you said,

98
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: you see that a lot. I see that a lot

99
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 2: on social media and a lot of conspiracy theories. And

100
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: you know, I'm one of these people where I kind

101
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: of I hate conspiracy theories, but some of them are true.

102
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, It's like, it's just it is what it is.

103
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: So how does that affect the day to day, average

104
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: working class person who's not at the top of the mountain.

105
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 2: As far as economics, I'll say this first of all

106
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: at this time, because we are in the age of information,

107
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: which is again, like you said, things have to be balanced.

108
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 4: There's a good and there's a bad, extremely on both ends.

109
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 4: Now when it comes to this, because now people are

110
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,559
Speaker 4: literally living their lives based upon what they need. Fact,

111
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 4: they're gonna run outside, Okay, so COVID, All right, COVID

112
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 4: If I run outside, button naked. You're gonna have somebody

113
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 4: doing this and this is real talk. This is all

114
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 4: dangerous thing. So you got to be careful everybody with

115
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 4: what you post. First of all. Secondly, there are conspiracy

116
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 4: documentarians Okay, that's a shout out to doctor West Mohaman,

117
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 4: people who actually have the documented evidence to back up

118
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,239
Speaker 4: what they're talking about. I'm more so on that area, okay,

119
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 4: where we were with the conspiracy documents, where with the

120
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 4: realist when it comes to what's really going on. But

121
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 4: we stick away from all the conspiracy theories. I can

122
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 4: sift through them. Trust me when I say there are

123
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 4: so many, there's there's there's so many you want to

124
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 4: never get out of.

125
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

126
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 4: It's crazy. So be careful with.

127
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 3: Which I'm only saying it because we encountered one like

128
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago and it was just like, Yo,

129
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 3: where where did you get this from? And I was like,

130
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 3: all right, now we'll talk. I put it this way.

131
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 4: Conspiracy theorists pretty much, if they can cause controversy, can

132
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 4: grab attention, they will. These are people who want to

133
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 4: see they were the truth secrets for the majority. Some

134
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 4: of them can go extremely overboard, wearing aluminum caps all day,

135
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 4: you know, looking at you like, you know, are you

136
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,799
Speaker 4: a human, You're a reptilian? You know what, you're clone

137
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 4: your clones. So and when you go into that realm,

138
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 4: it really doesn't matter what color you are, black, white, whatever.

139
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 4: People are just really in that realm. So I'll say,

140
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 4: be very careful of who you're listening to, and if

141
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 4: you are a person with a large platform, be careful

142
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 4: about fact check. Fact check at least five times. You

143
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 4: want to cross reference and cross reference and cross reference

144
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 4: and cross reference. And now that that's another thing. When

145
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 4: it comes to facts, you gotta make sure you cross

146
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 4: reference things because sometimes things can sound really believable, bro,

147
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,239
Speaker 4: and depending on who says it, it can sound very convincing.

148
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: We're charismatic and I saw it yesterday. I saw it.

149
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 4: You know it's like, okay, I gotta believe them. It's

150
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 4: like no, no, no, no, no. Check it for yourself,

151
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 4: because if you have influence over people, you will literally

152
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 4: control their lives. And if they go out and do

153
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 4: something they hurt themselves, that's on your hands. I mean, really,

154
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 4: we gotta be responsible. So just be careful with the

155
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 4: conspiracy theories, but check things. You know, don't be what

00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 4: A lot of celebrities, a lot of y'all just starting

170
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 4: to step into being an intellectual. So you're learning, and

171
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,240

00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 4: million followers, But be careful. I've seen some stuff from

174
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 4: certain artists and celebrities and I was like, what the

Speaker 4: I can get in touch with them, I will know,

177
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 4: because that's what you're supposed to be. Just publicly, Basha.

178
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 4: That's another thing. Oh y'all saw this, crazy niggas.

179
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: When they call you on the private line, you can.

180
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 4: Reach out to them personally because they may not know.

181
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 4: There's a lot of celebrities, brother, who come to me

182
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 4: for consulting about things because they really didn't know. And

183
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 4: I tell them, no, no, no, that's that's not that's

184
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 4: not true. Let me seeing you the facts on that,

185
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,599
Speaker 4: and then they see it they're like, oh, man, I

186
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 4: was about to make a big mistake on that one,

187
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 4: you know. So we have to we have to have

188
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 4: enough love for one another to make sure we put

189
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 4: out what is proper, what's right, what's factual, and with

190
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 4: solutions preferably if you can. If there's another problem, you're

191
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 4: gonna post post it with a solution if you can.

192
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 4: Because that's another thing everybody right now, we know all

193
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 4: the damn problems in the world. Bro, It's so many

194
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 4: negative things going on, but we need some positive to

195
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 4: go with it, like you said, to keep that balance.

196
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 4: So the IMF, what's to deal with that International Monetary Fund? Okay,

197
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 4: so here we go, y'all. Some of y'all know about

198
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 4: this no manterary of fund you're talking about the organization

199
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 4: that funds countries. They give loans out to countries and

200
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 4: they basically enslave countries. This is pretty much what they do.

201
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 4: So they say, listen, uh, you know, it's kind of

202
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 4: like a it's like a rich pimp organization. I'm going

203
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 4: to say it like that. It's not slanger damn, it's

204
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 4: what it is. So they go in loan money and

205
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 4: they say, this is your lump sum here, pay it

206
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 4: back and increments of this amount, you know, every year,

207
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 4: every month or whatever, and this is what you can

208
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 4: use for whatever, you know, building your economy, building this

209
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 4: your businesses et cetera, to stimulate it whatever. And that's

210
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 4: what they do. The issue is when they put a

211
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 4: high level of interest on these things that is impossible

212
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 4: for these countries to pay back. Now as a part

213
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 4: of the agreements, that they default or if they break

214
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 4: the agreement, then there are other options that kick in. Okay, well,

215
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 4: we can take control of your ports, we can take

216
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 4: control of your airports, we can take control of this

217
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 4: or that if you default on the loan. You see

218
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. This is this is the criminal stuff

219
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 4: that they do, and they've done it to countries or

220
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 4: all throughout Africa and all throughout the world. They know

221
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 4: what they're doing, you know, them, along with the other

222
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 4: banks and national banks and who loan money at high

223
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 4: interests to control foreign nations and foreign leaders, to get

224
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 4: them under the control and under the umbrella of those

225
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 4: who they control. So then you'll see other countries and

226
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 4: nations doing some craziest hell stuff to their citizens and

227
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 4: to their people in order. But it's like it's not them.

228
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 4: They're being controlled and now the people who owned them

229
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 4: are now writing their policies. Do you understand I'm saying,

230
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 4: that's the power behind economics. You gotta understand what's going on.

231
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 4: And you'd have to be like Fidel Castro in Cuba.

232
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 4: You have to stand on integrity and say I'd rather

233
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 4: not take nothing from you and stand on integrity for

234
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 4: my people. He was willing to do that, and of

235
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 4: course America put sanctions on them, wouldn't allow the countries

236
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 4: to help them. They're still recycling cars from the sixties and.

237
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: The seventies broke fact, they're still doing that.

238
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 4: They're like, hold on, don't throw that away. What you doing?

239
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 4: We could put that here, don't don't you know, it's

240
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 4: a serious thing because they have that much integrity. We

241
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 4: will not be pimped. We will not be enslaved, you know,

242
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 4: for a foreign nation that does not have our interest,

243
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 4: our best interest. So you know, that's that's really what

244
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 4: the IMF does and what it is. Has it done

245
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 4: some good. I'm sure it has done some good. The

246
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 4: issues that we have people at that level. It's usually

247
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 4: backed by special interest groups who have a wicked intent

248
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 4: and they have demonstrated that in what they do to

249
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 4: our countries.

250
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 3: It's a lot.

251
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, now in a nutshell much. Make sure you study more.

252
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 4: There's a lot more information to learn about it.

253
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: But definitely, and it sounds I'm interested to get your

254
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: take on what you said. A lot sounds like what

255
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: China is currently doing all over the world. And it's

256
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 2: interesting because we've all we spoke about China, especially like

257
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 2: what they're doing in Africa and the Caribbean. But we

258
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: spoke to an entrepreneur in Nigeria, like he's actually lives

259
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 2: in Nigeria, and I asked him, like, you know, what's

260
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: your thoughts on it. He's like, honestly, you know, China's

261
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 2: doing what's in the best interest of China. But it's

262
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: business at the end of the day. It's not like

263
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: nobody's coming and putting a gun to anybody's head and

264
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: making them do this and things of that nature. So

265
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 2: they was like, you know, we have to you know,

266
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: kind of have some accountability leadership and the public and

267
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: things that nature. So how do you feel about it,

268
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 2: because that's another hot topic as far as China.

269
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 4: I'm glad you said that. As it pertains to what

270
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 4: the brother who lives Nigeria said, because a lot of

271
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 4: the leaders have been bought out, it's nothing that people

272
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 4: really got to understand when they say, well, China, China, China.

273
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 4: It's like hold on. First of all, many of the

274
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 4: African leaders have been bought out. They have literally taken

275
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 4: the money from China, just like they took money from America,

276
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 4: just like they took money from other nations Europe, et cetera,

277
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 4: to allow them to come in and do whatever it

278
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 4: is they want to do with the different agreements, whatever

279
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 4: those agreements may be. The issue is that many people

280
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 4: in Africa, and I meet with a lot of them.

281
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 4: I've been awarded by a number of African organizations, international

282
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 4: organizations for my humanitarian work or my activism. They tell

283
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 4: me to my face, they say, brother, brother, brother, you

284
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 4: need to understand that a lot of our leaders have

285
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 4: sold out. They have and they hate it. Brother. They're like,

286
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,599
Speaker 4: we do our best to stand as a people, to

287
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 4: stand as you know, I'm Zimbabwean or I'm Gyananian or

288
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 4: I'm Nigerian. But then some of them are just like, well,

289
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 4: this is a new world. It's a new time. You know,

290
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 4: it's a new time. You know, if they want to

291
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 4: come in and give us money, fine, they don't look

292
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 4: at the fact that you can pull your resources together.

293
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 4: You live, you have the wealth under your feet. You

294
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 4: see what I'm saying. You can access that and you

295
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 4: can use it independently to work with your other African

296
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 4: brothers in African nations. But again, because you have a

297
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 4: outside foreign power that has come in and has divided

298
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 4: you from one another, has come in usurp your power,

299
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 4: killed your leaders, put in CIA agents in the place

300
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 4: of certain leaders. This is America's foreign policy. Because that

301
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 4: also has a lot to do with economics. You definitely

302
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 4: want to look at that. You have to read a

303
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 4: book by the name of the Confessions of an Economic

304
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 4: hit Man, where they talk about how they set up

305
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 4: coops to get rid of Oh yeah, they do that.

306
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 4: Did it with Libya, They did it with Iraq, they

307
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 4: did any nation that does not agree with the foreign

308
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 4: policies to allow them to have access to the wealthy.

309
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 4: Colonel Kadafi, Oh yeah, Colonel Momafi. Can you talk about that, sir? No,

310
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 4: that's sorry. See whatever you need, brother, I'm just saying

311
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 4: you're ready for it. I'll say it again this way.

312
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 4: The African leaders who have not sold out, we thank you,

313
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 4: stan strong brothers, because I know a lot of you

314
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 4: who follow my network and this network and other networks.

315
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 4: You're watching, you listening. You have to maintain integrity and

316
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 4: as far as con said, stand strong. Stand strong. If

317
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 4: you must die on that, then you must down that.

318
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 4: But stand strong for the people, for Africa, for the nation,

319
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 4: for us as a diaspora to not sell out to

320
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 4: this enemy, because they do not have our best interests

321
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 4: at hand. They don't. They don't care about us. That's

322
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 4: the point. China has their own interests. Like you said,

323
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 4: it's China, and that's business. You agree to it. It's business,

324
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 4: So I can't argue with that. However, a lot of

325
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 4: nations in Africa. Now, a lot of countries are now

326
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 4: the rethinking that. Now they're trying to come out of deals. Now,

327
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 4: they're trying to figure out a way to get around it. Like, okay,

328
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 4: you know, we didn't read this section of this part

329
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 4: of this subsectionments like a record contract.

330
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, man, you know them three sixty d they

331
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 3: got for the country.

332
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 4: Lawyer. Two years later you're like, no, did you know

333
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 4: about that?

334
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: My country back.

335
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 4: Got me. I didn't know that. Bringing that that independent

336
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 4: what it's called audit those auditors. So that's what's happening now.

337
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 4: But again, if we stand strong, if you make the

338
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 4: agreements with China, you're going to have to go along

339
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 4: with the agreement or find a way to get out

340
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 4: of it. But we have to stand strong as the people.

341
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, we must do for

342
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 4: self or some of the consequences. We have the power,

343
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 4: we have the wealth. We just need the unity. That's

344
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 4: all we need. Okay. So that's all I really got

345
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 4: to say on that, because at the end of the day,

346
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 4: a lot of those countries really did get involved willingly,

347
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 4: and that's the issue. And I'm not saying I'm not

348
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 4: saying anything negative about China because it's business. And I

349
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 4: will never say China is worse than America. So let's

350
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 4: never get that twists people like China China. I stop it.

351
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 4: We're still done with stuff America right now, from Breonna

352
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 4: Taylor all the way down as being murdered. China ain't

353
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 4: out here killing black folk. Okay, all right, so let's

354
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 4: just make that clear. But in everybody else when it

355
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 4: comes to that type of situation. But Libya, now, are

356
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 4: you sure you want to go into that just I

357
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 4: mean it is economics, brother, there was. I mean he

358
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 4: did a beautiful job, you know, Colonel will Margadafi may

359
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 4: I lobby. Please. First of all, I don't listen to

360
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 4: Western media about foreign leaders. That's the first thing. I

361
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 4: don't listen to what America has to say about a

362
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 4: Libyan leader, America has to say about a Mexican leader,

363
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 4: Hawaiian leader, Chinese, because again, America has their own interests,

364
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 4: just like China has their own. Everyone has their own,

365
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 4: So I'd rather listen to their media because they do

366
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 4: have media. Some of y'all don't know Africa has buildings.

367
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 4: They're still living in huts, brother Hudson, stop showing them

368
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 4: commercials with the little children with the stomach, so I

369
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 4: would flies on them. Dollar bro the technology. I mean,

370
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 4: come on. So I had to say that because people

371
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 4: really be tripped. But in Libya under Colonel Mulmakadafi, it

372
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 4: was free. Wow, that's the old song there is. There

373
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 4: was free health care, there was free education. When you

374
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 4: got married, he would give the family anywhere between five

375
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 4: to twenty five thousand dollars for getting married. If you

376
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 4: wanted to till land and grow your own food, would

377
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 4: give you a tractor, give you seeds and give you

378
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 4: a certain plot of land for you to grow your

379
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 4: own food. If you wanted to go to school in

380
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 4: a foreign nation or to another country, go abroad, Libya

381
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 4: would sponsor that. They would pay for your room on board,

382
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 4: they would pay for the tuition, and whatever country you

383
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 4: went to. All of these things America ain't knowing as

384
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 4: a country, as a country free, free, and I'm not

385
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 4: saying that free, horrible free, good healthcare. Before Colonel moulmagadav

386
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 4: he took over the leadership of Libya, it was the

387
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 4: poorest country. After he took over the leadership and started

388
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 4: to work on it, it became the most wealthy country

389
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 4: in Africa had zero debt. It owed no one the

390
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 4: I m F. He didn't know any other foreign countries,

391
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 4: European countries. No, they were free of debt, debt free.

392
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 4: See that right there. That lets me know. Ah, no

393
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 4: one A they attacked him, called him a dictator. You know,

394
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 4: so he's a horrible this is and horrible that. But

395
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 4: wait a minute, he's doing for his people what America

396
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 4: claims she's doing for her. You're not doing any of this.

397
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 4: You're not even doing a thirtieth of what they're doing.

398
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 4: So it's like, how can you be so hypocritical to

399
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 4: even try to open your mouth and talk about a

400
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 4: leader over there who's actually giving his people these different

401
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 4: things that you say you're giving yours. Not that's not

402
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 4: how it goes. So he built it into an economic

403
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 4: power that was independent, and he was gonna come together

404
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 4: with the other over fifty three countries in Africa to

405
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 4: create a joint currency African Union and African Union, which

406
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 4: I mean, bro, when you're talking about money and economics,

407
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 4: that is the most powerful move that could have ever

408
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 4: been done on the planet. Because then he would have

409
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 4: removed they would bankrupt the European pound, they would bankrupt

410
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 4: the American dollar, they will bankrupt the Chinese you n

411
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 4: they bankrupt every other former currency because you are backing

412
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 4: your wealth based off of the mineral resources underneath your feet.

413
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 4: And Africa got all of them. Everybody gonna bow down

414
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 4: to the African currency. And it was like, hell no,

415
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 4: we're not gonna do that. Hell no, we're not gonna

416
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 4: do that. We are not gonna have no niggas on

417
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 4: no paper. And you go, I'm gonna have to use that.

418
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 4: I'm just being real, Okay, we're not We're not gonna

419
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 4: have that, you know. And again because a lot of

420
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 4: people know about this, but a lot of people didn't,

421
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 4: and that we don't understand that when it comes to

422
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 4: economics and money, color becomes less important. At the top.

423
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 4: There's some black people who's helping to push evil, there's

424
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 4: some Arabs doing it, there's some Chinese, there's some white.

425
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 4: There's a lot of people at the top, and that

426
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 4: color line becomes less important. It becomes power.

427
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: Now in a different language than you said the same message, appreciate,

428
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 2: He said the same thing, exact thing.

429
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 4: Power only respects power. So if I got a billion

430
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 4: and you got a billion, we can sit at the table.

431
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 4: But if I'm black and you white, okay, well it's like, okay,

432
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 4: well we want to buy this right about your color?

433
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 4: Right now? Even if I did, it don't matter.

434
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 3: Were talking about money, talking about some money, exactly know

435
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. This was a history lesson, So speaking

436
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 3: of economics, because I suppose you prior to this, but

437
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 3: can we talk about the internal banking families of Europe?

438
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 3: Can we give a history of that? And so that

439
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 3: when when I talked about the young gentlemen who came,

440
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 3: he was speaking about some some theories they came up,

441
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 3: and I was just like, that's interesting because I've never

442
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 3: heard him talk like that before. And maybe you know,

443
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 3: he doesn't have all the knowledge, So can you enlighten

444
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 3: us all?

445
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, I'll give a little bit here. First

446
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 4: of all, people try to argue and say that it

447
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 4: is a conspiracy theory when you are talking about David Rockefeller,

448
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 4: when you're talking about the Federal Reserve Act of nineteen thirteen.

449
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 4: This is actual fact. There's nothing, there's no theoretical anything

450
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 4: behind it. They met off the coast of Jecky Island

451
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 4: of Georgia. They met off the coast on a small island.

452
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 4: You're talking about David Rockefeller and some other individuals to

453
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 4: come up with a way where they could take control

454
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 4: over the monetary policies of America. The Federal Reserve has

455
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 4: nothing to do with the United States Constitution. It states

456
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 4: in the United States Constitution that Congress shall hold the

457
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 4: right to print the money, and so forth and so on.

458
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 4: But who is the Federal Reserve. They have nothing to

459
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 4: do with America. They are a gangster group, a third

460
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 4: party who came in and they took over these banking

461
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 4: systems from Europe, and then they gradually moved into the

462
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 4: rest of the planet. By the time they got to America,

463
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 4: that's when nineteen thirteen came along with the passing of

464
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 4: the Federal Reserve Act. And once that happened, all of

465
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 4: the power to print money, coin, money, etc. Turned over

466
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 4: into the Federal Reserve, and no longer Congress. It used

467
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 4: to say a silver certificate at the top of the dollar.

468
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,479
Speaker 4: It said silver certificate, meaning oh, this is back by

469
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 4: silver okay, or it was back by goal okay. But

470
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 4: then it switched to Federal Reserve. Note what the hell

471
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 4: does that mean? And now the money system is not

472
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 4: under the people, it's not under Congress, it's not under

473
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 4: our control per se. It's under the control of a

474
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 4: third party gangster group organization that uses it to control

475
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 4: and enslave the planet. That's what that is about. Hence

476
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 4: why the economy is so high. They use war to

477
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 4: make money. But if they use the war to make money,

478
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 4: then the dollar goes further into debt, therefore having less

479
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 4: worth higher inflation. So what a dollar's worth today ain't nothing.

480
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 4: It's nothing compared to what it was back then. Yeah,

481
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 4: you know America currently on Wall Street they're saying it's

482
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 4: a little over twenty two to twenty three trillion dollars

483
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 4: in debt. Well, no, that's not true. They're not adding

484
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 4: in medicaid, medical all those things that illus that they

485
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 4: have for all these other nations. America's over seventy trillion

486
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 4: dollars in debt and it's growing every day. They're printing

487
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 4: millions every day, which means you print more, the money

488
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 4: becomes less and less and less and less and less valuable.

489
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 4: That's why. Also people need to start looking at gold.

490
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 4: Hence whid gold is so high right now? Yeah, this week,

491
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying all the time, my silver

492
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 4: is going up, even though some people say that I

493
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 4: don't buy silver, But the pre nineteen thirty three silver

494
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 4: coins in particular, you should be buying because those are

495
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 4: worth about I think it costs about twenty three twenty

496
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 4: five dollars per coin. So you want to get some

497
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 4: of those. Why because the dollar brother is about to

498
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 4: become completely obsolete. It's about to get to a point

499
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 4: like it got over in Europe where they were having

500
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 4: positive in the middle of the street. You know, it

501
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 4: was burning, you know, smoking cigars, likely with the money.

502
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 4: I know some of y'all like, man ain't going happened. Listen, bro,

503
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 4: They're talking about this economic gap because of the pandemic.

504
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 4: Nearly forty million people weren employed just a couple months

505
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 4: ago in America. So you're gonna give a stimulus check

506
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 4: to forty million people. You're not gonna give ten dollars

507
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 4: to forty million people, you see what I'm saying. So

508
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 4: you're giving millions, billions trillions that you don't have to

509
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 4: people who are not working, and then you shut it

510
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 4: down again, which is why you know Trump and everyone

511
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 4: else wanted to open it up they're like, listen it,

512
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 4: it don't matter if people get sick. Either we going

513
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 4: down hereonomically or were going down physically and health wise.

514
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 4: We gotta choose one. So they'd rather open up the economy,

515
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 4: let some people get sick and die, but to allow

516
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 4: us the economy to thrive and survive, because it is

517
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 4: upside down, you know what I'm saying, that's what it is.

518
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 4: So but it all started again with the national banking

519
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 4: families of Europe and then of course pushing for war

520
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 4: to make more money, sending people to die. More war,

521
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 4: more money, more interest, et cetera, et cetera, And that

522
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 4: is what it has been since nine thirteen.

523
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting because a lot of people might not realize,

524
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 2: like you said that the Federal Reserve Bank is not

525
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 2: it's not it's not a government agency. It's just fed

526
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 2: It's like it's like it's like FedEx, like like you

527
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 2: would just automatically think it's it's federal and they print

528
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 2: money and they so just by default you would think, okay,

529
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: it's part of it's part of the government, but it's

530
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 2: actually not part of the government at all at all.

531
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 4: And it's interesting, not at all. Anybody who's dealing with economics.

532
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 4: I mean, this is this is the show. Y'all watch

533
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 4: you know, y'all watch these brothers. They give you a game.

534
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 4: They give you as much game as possible. That was

535
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 4: possibly some of the most important game they could give

536
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 4: you is to understand the difference between the Federal Reserve

537
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 4: and the government when it comes to money, the monetary system.

538
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 4: That's why bigcoin is so important. Some people talk about

539
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 4: that always that the economists in America will say, all

540
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 4: consocrat because it's not controlled. It's a universal currency. You

541
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 4: can't control it. You can transfer anywhere. They're like, uh no,

542
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 4: it's bad because we want you to stick with the

543
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 4: American dollar. That's gone. That's done for it. Okay, so

544
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 4: now you have to look at other forms of currency

545
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 4: and be very wise about looking at other currency, investing

546
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 4: in other currency, and moving your money around. Really, I

547
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 4: gotta start pulling your stuff out of the bank and

548
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 4: the minute I ain't trying to go against what y'all

549
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 4: don't know. Just say you thought you got on that,

550
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 4: you know, you let me know, but be very mindful.

551
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 4: Just understand that, you know, don't put all of your

552
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 4: money in one location that is controlled by the Federal

553
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 4: Reserve or any of its bank you know, you know what,

554
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 4: you know what A.

555
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if people notice, but there's a shortage

556
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 2: of coins. Yeah, that's interesting. And b Yeah the bank

557
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 2: thing is interesting because it's like, all right, what's the

558
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: odds of bank having not enough money? Until they don't

559
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: have enough money? Because it's good in Greece. In Greece

560
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 2: a few years ago they shut the banks down. They

561
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 2: made a stop on ATM run because people was trying

562
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 2: to So it's like theoretically, like if you have ten

563
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,479
Speaker 2: million dollars, the bank doesn't have ten million. That's why

564
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 2: they only ensure two hundred and fifty thousand. So if

565
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 2: you go, we dropped that, you literally yeah, you literally can't. Yeah,

566
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 2: it's the FDI c ensured, so you could literally only

567
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,479
Speaker 2: take up to a certain amount. And then they got

568
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 2: to like actually order others because there's there's regional banks

569
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: for the Federal Reserve like this, the Federal Reserve regional

570
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 2: banks like Saint Louis, New York, LA. Like there's different regions,

571
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 2: so they have to order the money. And then this

572
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 2: is kind of a more involved conversation, but that kind

573
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 2: of goes with the interest rates, right, because they charged

574
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 2: the regular retail banks money to actually bother so when

575
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 2: they lower their interest rates, when they raise the interest rates,

576
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 2: it all comes into play.

577
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 4: And making money off your money, right.

578
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one of the things that was I mean

579
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,719
Speaker 3: a lot of people said that to us, and hopefully

580
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 3: people get the message. But like money is a tool

581
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 3: to get assets, having it sitting in the bank does

582
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 3: mean anything. I know, Like Fernando had told us that

583
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 3: and it stuck with my mind when you just said that,

584
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 3: it was like, Yo, every dollar is a worker to me,

585
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 3: So I gotta put that on that work.

586
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 4: To put it to work and let it make money

587
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 4: for you.

588
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 3: You know.

589
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 4: That's that's where the investments and the assets come in.

590
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 4: Own something that builds and it's in its value and

591
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 4: create and it's worth. That's what we have to look at. Again,

592
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 4: most of the people in the hood y're like, look,

593
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 4: I got forty dollars, bro for the next week. Fact,

594
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 4: what can I do with this? That's why we have

595
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 4: to now pull our resources. We don't have a choice, bro.

596
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 4: We have to practice group economics. There is no choice here,

597
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 4: There's none. Most of the people in the hood don't

598
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 4: have two hundred dollars to stay family. And I know

599
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 4: it may sound crazy for some people, it's like no, no, no, seriously,

600
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 4: even the money that we do have, we're spending it

601
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 4: in the wrong direction. But we have to now look at, Okay,

602
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 4: what can we afford to put in the pot? Depending

603
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 4: on what block we're on, depending on what hood we

604
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 4: from the hoods, y'all gotta come together and start putting

605
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 4: money in the pot. Whatever crib blood, hood essays, whatever,

606
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 4: and start putting your dollars together so everyone can work

607
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 4: a little and no one have to work a lot,

608
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 4: and then you can start buying up things. You know,

609
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 4: it's crazy.

610
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 2: I feel like we're the only people that have to

611
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 2: be convinced about cooker economics because everything else. Because like

612
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 2: I went to this Indian wedding a friend of mine

613
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 2: Indian is my first comcod in Indian wedding. So it's

614
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 2: a whole week experience. If you ever been to an

615
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 2: Indian wedding, it's like and he will seek. So they

616
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 2: had like a it was like a whole thing. So

617
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 2: the whole So the long story short is like where

618
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: he lives in New Jersey, Like that's where like the

619
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: whole town is all seeks and they have an interesting

620
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: thing where they own like motels. They're own like one

621
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 2: hundred motels and yeah, and then like he was explaining

622
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 2: to me the process. So it's like one person from

623
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: India comes, they buy a hotel, then they send enough

624
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 2: money for the next person to come, and then they

625
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 2: work in the hotel. They learn the business of the hotel,

626
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 2: and then the other people give them money to start

627
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: their hotel. When they get enough money, they pay it

628
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 2: back and then it's like a whole thing and that

629
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 2: they just run it back again. So I see that

630
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 2: in other cultures and it's just like it's interesting to

631
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 2: me because that's group economics. But for us, it's still

632
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 2: something that we kind of have to really be convinced

633
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 2: and understand. So how do we how do we get

634
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 2: away from from that mindset and really move in to

635
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 2: make it normal, Like make group economics normal.

636
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 4: It has to be promoted and it has to be

637
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 4: it has to be talked about more by those of

638
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 4: us practice it in a positive way. We gotta we

639
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 4: gotta brag about that, like, yeah, bro, I put my

640
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 4: family on like I said it this way. This book

641
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 4: was edited, it was written by me black man. Then

642
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 4: it was edited by black women. Then my product manager

643
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 4: black women, which is my sister. Then her two sons

644
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 4: they are employed as the packagers, so we employed them.

645
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 4: Then I have my my mother, and I have I

646
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 4: think two cousins who also work for me. I employed

647
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 4: my own family. You know what I'm saying, Black women

648
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 4: for the majority, but black people period. That's it. I said,

649
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 4: I'm not about to employ nobody else. I'm employing my family.

650
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 4: I'm anna free all up so that we can invest

651
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 4: in each other and then we can go ahead and

652
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 4: build on something else. And we are building on something

653
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 4: else now, you know what I'm saying. That's how it's

654
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 4: supposed to be. I'm not playing no games out there

655
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 4: because a lot of black people in families who are

656
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 4: doing this.

657
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 3: It's great pride in that.

658
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 4: Come on, bro, I'm gonna say it again. We're doing

659
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 4: that right now.

660
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 3: They have to be. You know.

661
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 2: It's we don't trust each other, and we can still

662
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 2: we can stimulate each other's economy even with us like so,

663
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 2: they see me and Troy as the host of early Aleisia,

664
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: but it's more than us. So we have Mike who

665
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 2: does all of our technical stuff. We all grew up together.

666
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 2: Another one of our friendship more he just left, but

667
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 2: he's ahead of our marketing. So then Mike's brother is like,

668
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 2: he edits because I write, but I'm not the best

669
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 2: for grammar. So he's our editor for our writing. And

670
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 2: then his other brother actually edits our videos. He DTAs

671
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 2: our live events. So it's like, why would we pay

672
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 2: somebody else. We could stimulate each We all come from

673
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 2: the same neighborhood, so now we stimulate in each other's economy,

674
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 2: and ultimately it's only going to come back to all

675
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 2: of us anyway and make all of us stronger as

676
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 2: opposed to trying to, you know, work with this person

677
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 2: and that person, and it's like by before you know it,

678
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 2: like you don't even understand what's going on. And I

679
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 2: feel like people will take more pride and they'll they'll

680
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 2: go to extra amount because now it actually makes sense

681
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 2: where it's like his brother's gonna work harder for him

682
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 2: because he know he wants him to be successful. Right,

683
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 2: it's not just a random person who you just outsource.

684
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: And it's like, I'll get it to it when I

685
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 2: can get to it, man, I'll say I'll say two

686
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 2: things in this. First of all, we as a people

687
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 2: have to be willing to work. That's like, we gotta

688
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 2: be real about this. This is what the accountability that.

689
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 4: If I put you on, be on, don't give me

690
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 4: a bad name. And I'm doing my best to keep

691
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 4: this thing afloat. Don't come in like, man, what a bag.

692
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 4: I'm trying to get the bag you can't get. There's

693
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 4: plenty of bag. We're talking like it's only one bag. Like, no,

694
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 4: you gotta keep adding to the Okay, we're gonna give

695
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 4: your bag. It's gonna be empty at first. You're gonna

696
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 4: add I'm gonna switch a lot of rappers talking. You're

697
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 4: gonna add to it. And us as a people, we

698
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 4: are the bad. That's what we got to get through.

699
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 3: We are value.

700
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 4: This come on the value. We have to add to that.

701
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 4: So we we add to that piece. And we have

702
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 4: to be pride for or proud and thankful and happy

703
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 4: to work for one another. If I'm working one brother,

704
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 4: I'm working with my brother. And we have to treat

705
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 4: the people that work with us fairly too. We gotta

706
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 4: have love, we gotta have respect, we have to have trust.

707
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 4: One major reason why we don't trust when it comes

708
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 4: to money. It's really a traumatic thing that has been

709
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 4: passed down generationally as a part of what happened with

710
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 4: us with the Freedman's Bank. The Freeman's Bank when black

711
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 4: folks we were technically slaves, but they're not or whatever,

712
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 4: and we became free, et cetera. We were putting our

713
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 4: money into Freeman's Bank. Okay, so we're putting our money

714
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 4: in there, in our savings and all that. And after

715
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 4: a certain point they just took all our money and

716
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 4: they're like, but no, you can't get your money back

717
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 4: now that's it boomed. So our money is going out

718
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 4: of like we're like, okay, hold on, hold on. So

719
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 4: we were rushing now hearing about that Russian. Just take

720
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 4: whatever our money, take it out and just spend it.

721
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 4: Just spend it, spend and spend it because they're gonna

722
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 4: take it from me. So I gotta spend it to

723
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 4: get some assets, something physical, you know, So so now

724
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 4: I have to. It's it's a traumatic thing. That's why

725
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 4: we just spend, spend, spend, spend. We don't save because

726
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 4: we think, damn it, if I don't buy something, I'm

727
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,479
Speaker 4: gonna lose it. That's really it's a deep traumatic thing

728
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 4: that happens. But especially in the hood. We gotta buy

729
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 4: the sneakers, we gotta buy the necklace, we gotta buy this,

730
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 4: not realize most of that jurious fake I'm not talking

731
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 4: about ones that I know personally, it's really you know,

732
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 4: so we don't want to give our people this fake

733
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 4: hope of aspirations in something that does an add value,

734
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 4: doesn't add wealth, doesn't build up us as a people.

735
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 4: And really, when you're putting people on, when you're buying

736
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 4: up land in real estate and you're going into technology

737
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 4: and business and all of that, it takes time. But

738
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 4: it is the most long lasting. That little quick dollar

739
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 4: ain't nothing. It is how long it's the longevity, the consistency.

740
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 4: Can you create what you create generational wealth like motels

741
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 4: and stuff like that. Bro, that's never ending. Yeah, you

742
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 4: see what I'm saying, And that's families that do that,

743
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 4: families and they eating for the rest of their life.

744
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 4: I'm tired of this whole get the bag noble. I

745
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 4: want to get get the business the business, okay, and

746
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 4: then build from there and just keep going until you know,

747
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 4: we achieve that generational wealth.

748
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 3: So speaking, expelled rappers and obviously get the bag is

749
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 3: that's one of the slangs. What are your thoughts in

750
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 3: the accountability and responsibility that they have, because I mean,

751
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 3: I feel like you might be just like a generation

752
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 3: below us when it came to the music. We always

753
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 3: talk about how it raised us. What are your thoughts

754
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 3: on that? Just generation rappers?

755
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 4: People listen to y'all, that's just what we have to

756
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 4: get through our head. The children listen to what rappers say.

757
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 4: Out of what you say, sim Lean percoset. Okay, they're

758
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 4: gonna send Lean and percoset that.

759
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, it's what you do as an influencer.

760
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 4: Most people who are rappers, you know, they like, Look,

761
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 4: I didn't signed up to be no leader. Yeah you did,

762
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 4: sadly you did the moment you decided to be in

763
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 4: front of people. You in front of people, and people

764
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 4: like what you say. So they nine times out of

765
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 4: ten are gonna want to do what you say to do.

766
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,919
Speaker 4: They're gonna want to act like how you act, dress

767
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 4: how you dress, go where you go. That's what it is.

768
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 4: If I'm interested in you, I see what you got on.

769
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 4: I like that because I like you. It's the personality

770
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 4: attached to it. I like the personality. I want to

771
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 4: be like the personality. It's a psychological game that we

772
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 4: have to understand that we're playing. So you've got to

773
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 4: be very accountable when you're doing what you're doing. Just

774
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 4: the athletes, the rappers, the actresses, the actress, everybody gotta

775
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 4: be accountable because people are watching you. So regardless of

776
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 4: whether or that's you feel like you signed them to

777
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 4: be a influencer or a leader, you are that. Now.

778
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 4: Are you doing it properly? Maybe not, but you have

779
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 4: to understand people are gonna follow what you do and

780
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 4: what you say. So we just got to take responsibility

781
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:02,439
Speaker 4: for that broke.

782
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 2: So you're a member of the Nation of Islam. So

783
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,439
Speaker 2: I was talking off camera as far as I don't

784
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 2: think that the Nation Islam people really understand as far

785
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 2: as one of the founding principles of it was an

786
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 2: economic structure like it had when it first started in

787
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 2: the sixties even fifties. You know a lot of restaurants, Yes,

788
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 2: it was. It was importing fish, I believe from Peru,

789
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 2: with boats and trucks, farms, schools. That was like the

790
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 2: whole thing in the slogan was like do for self.

791
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 2: So economics was always a big part of it. So

792
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 2: can you enlighten the people on that, because, like I said,

793
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 2: they might have heard about the Nation Islam, they might

794
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 2: have had some preconceived notions, but they might not have

795
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 2: known that part. As far as the business structure.

796
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 4: Absolutely, but I'll say this when it comes to our people,

797
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 4: you know, when it comes to us as a group,

798
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 4: the number one thing is to make sure you keep

799
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 4: our people economically undermined, thiss enfranchised, keep them out of

800
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 4: the market, make sure we don't have the ability to

801
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 4: access capital large amounts of money so that we can

802
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 4: do for self. That's been the overall legenda of this system. However,

803
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 4: the most honoraby Lajah Muhammad came up with something called

804
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 4: the Economic Blueprint, where he said five cents a day,

805
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 4: thirty five cents a week, less than twenty dollars a year,

806
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,720
Speaker 4: and we all pour that money and pull it together

807
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 4: so that we can have a practicing group economic system

808
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 4: where we can buy our own farm land, where we

809
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 4: can establish own businesses, et cetera, et cetera. So he

810
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 4: started that and the do for self or suffer the

811
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 4: consequences is specifically what he said, he learned a lot

812
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 4: of what he learned from when it comes to economics,

813
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 4: from the honorable Marcus Mosaic Garviy with the entire you know,

814
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 4: the movement under the Garviai movement, which was very successful

815
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 4: as we all know. So by implementing this, the Nation

816
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 4: of Islam rolls, as I said, not only with farms

817
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 4: as you brought up, importing fish, schools, businesses. We had

818
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 4: sewing companies, you know, clothing companies, all these things, and

819
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 4: of course employing all of our own people. And it

820
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 4: grew into an over eight see million dollar economy with

821
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 4: the Nation of Islam Alan talking about in the sixties,

822
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. So the do for self

823
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 4: still stands today. We still practice that today. We actually

824
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 4: when the government came in and pretty much destroyed everything,

825
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 4: removed our schools, removed everything, you know, arrested a lot

826
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 4: of the people. They did not want it to be

827
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 4: known that that was that there was an independent group

828
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 4: of black people, intelligent thinkers, peaceful people. You're not gonna

829
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 4: mess with us, you know, but we are peaceful who

830
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 4: are doing for self and establishing our own everything, just

831
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 4: how everyone else is doing. Chinese are doing it, and

832
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 4: he is doing it, Jewish people doing it. And the

833
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 4: issue was that for us in particular, because we wanted

834
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 4: to separate and establish our own everything, that became a problem.

835
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 4: So we still have it today. Schools, we have farms. Security. Oh,

836
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 4: security all day long.

837
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 3: We'll get that, we'll get that.

838
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 4: You get it twisted, you know. But we have a

839
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 4: lot of these things still established. We have the number

840
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 4: one black news publication in the world, the Final Call

841
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 4: newspaper independently, you know, produced, published and promoted by us,

842
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 4: with local, national, and international news about different topics and subjects,

843
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 4: including economics.

844
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 2: You know.

845
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 4: So, yeah, man, it's a beautiful thing. It was a

846
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 4: larger circumstance back then, but once it came down, we

847
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 4: of course resurrected it and that we are still going.

848
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 4: How did you said? The government kind of squashed it? Yeah,

849
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 4: how'd that go? And time?

850
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 3: What's the timeframe we're talking about?

851
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you're talking about in the late sixties, early

852
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 4: seventies where they came in. Of course, when the most

853
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 4: taanabilaged Mohammad departed in the mid nineteen seventies, that's when

854
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 4: a lot of different things started happening. Businesses started shutting down.

855
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 4: They started to go in. You know, certain people left

856
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,959
Speaker 4: and became discouraged. You know, once you once you feel

857
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 4: that your leader has departed, it's very you know, disheartened,

858
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 4: it's heartbreaking. So a lot of people left, the businesses,

859
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 4: a lot of businesses shut down, a lot of companies

860
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 4: started to buy out businesses and companies. The schools. They

861
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 4: were arresting the teachers of the Mohamma University at the time,

862
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 4: because we faught to have independent schooling. In large part

863
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 4: in America is because of the most Unabeliga Muhammad that

864
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 4: independent schooling even exists him, Sister Claire Mahama weed, that

865
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 4: was something that we fought for because he said, of

866
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 4: our people want to learn education about us, we must

867
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 4: be taught by our own just how everyone else does that.

868
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 4: So again that was a problem. So these are different

869
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 4: components that the government came in and said we're gonna

870
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 4: take that, take that, remove that, buy that out, etcetera.

871
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 4: You know, arrest these people, et cetera, et cetera. So

872
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 4: it was a large pool and economically that was a

873
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 4: major thing that they said we're gonna snatch this, and

874
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 4: they try to come up with things saying well, this

875
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 4: is done illegally, and this is illegaland we're gonna take

876
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 4: this and taxes and whatever. You know, they just tried

877
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 4: to find any way to destroy the base and the foundation.

878
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 4: So they were successful partially, but again because because of

879
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 4: Minister Farakhan and all the work of the believers at

880
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 4: that time in the late seventies and the eighties, we

881
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 4: were able to resurrect it and re establish everything. We're

882
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 4: still coming back up, but we were seriously able to

883
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 4: come back something that usually is devastating.

884
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,439
Speaker 3: Now I've heard you say before you were born into

885
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 3: the nation. Can you talk about that journey? Because I

886
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 3: know that you've been studying and obviously teaching as well,

887
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 3: but I know you went into political science in college.

888
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 3: What's that journey been like for you?

889
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 4: I'll say this, being born, first born Compton, the youngest

890
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 4: of ten children. You said, well, attitude, man, we got

891
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 4: some big families. So I'm the youngest of ten children,

892
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 4: five boys, five girls, and growing up in Compton. We

893
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 4: went to Mahana Mastam fifty four in Compton, that's the

894
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 4: Compton Mosque. So I was praying in Arabic before I

895
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 4: prayed in English. I was waking up five am, washing

896
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 4: my hands, feed ankles for a blution and all that,

897
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 4: praying on the rug with the compass on it. I

898
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 4: didn't even know what I was saying when I was

899
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,439
Speaker 4: two and three years old, but that's what I was doing.

900
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 4: All of our last names are Islam, so that's really

901
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 4: interesting to the airport right now. Boring into it, Man,

902
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 4: it was a different lifestyle because we were all known.

903
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 4: Our house was known as the Muslims, like we was

904
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 4: known as those the Muslims in the community. So everybody

905
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 4: everything was cool. You came around our house, everybody's respectful.

906
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 4: They saw us walk down the street. All the dined them.

907
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 4: The moves was don't give them no port, you know,

908
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 4: like that's how it was funny, But that's how that's

909
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 4: how it was when we grew up. That was the lifestyle.

910
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 4: You know, it was a beautiful thing. And so from

911
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 4: that point up until about the age of seven or

912
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 4: eight is when I was practicing going to mass et cetera.

913
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 4: Our stepfather, who was the one that brought us into Islama,

914
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 4: was arrested and brought to jail. So when he was

915
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 4: taking to jail, family collapsed. Different things happened you know,

916
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 4: gang banging was something that occurred with some of my

917
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 4: brothers and some of my family cousins. My oldest sister

918
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 4: was on She ended up on skid row on crack

919
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 4: cocaine for about fifteen years. So she's still alive. Thankfully,

920
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 4: she made it through. She's cleaning and I'm thankful for that.

921
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 4: But this is the clock the circumstances that were happening

922
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 4: around our family. So at that point, no one was

923
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 4: going to the Maas anymore. So it was just me

924
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 4: and my mother. And then from there we actually went

925
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 4: into the Christian church because she was going to a

926
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 4: program when she was an atropathic doctor, et cetera. And

927
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 4: she was having her people go to this program, her clients,

928
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 4: and at that program she met up with a Christian

929
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 4: pastor and so they were doing things, working out a

930
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 4: lot of you know, situations for different patients and stuff

931
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 4: like that. And you know, I said, well, this is

932
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 4: where we're gonna be at. I was like nineteen years old,

933
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 4: So she said, okay, you know that we're gonna be at,

934
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 4: et cetera. And I was learning the Bible at that point,

935
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 4: so I started learning the Quran, et cetera. Praying there

936
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 4: a big in a nation. Then I'm now in the

937
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 4: Christian Church for a certain period of time. Then after

938
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 4: that boom circle all the way back now and back.

939
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 3: In the nation.

940
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,720
Speaker 4: Like that's how literally just in a nutshell.

941
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 2: That's pretty Have have your other siblings are they have

942
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 2: they come back to the nation or they love the nation?

943
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 4: But to my knowledge, none of them are in a

944
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 4: mosque to my knowledge, but most of them they live

945
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 4: in different states. Those cities still got the last name

946
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 4: Miss Slim say Aslam Lake and they're like, we Muslim,

947

948
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 4: It is what it is. You see what I'm saying.

949
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 4: So where in the building or not, Islam is right here.

950
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 4: So the building is not where the building is what

951
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 4: makes you a Muslim. It's what you practice, It's how

952
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,440

Speaker 4: like y'all always in the hood. Only was I see

1013
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 4: always in the hood, not saying that, you know, other

1014
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 4: organizations are not. There's a lot of groups that are.

1015
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 4: He was just saying, you know, I rock with y'all.

1016
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 4: And he learned the economic piece because a lot.

1017
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 3: Of people say, definitely get all that you know.

1018
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, bro. He studied Message to the Black Man,

1019
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 4: which is a book that he gave t I t

1020
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 4: I asked him, Okay, what book do you recommend, like

1021
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,399
Speaker 4: which one first, he said, Mester, the black Man read

1022
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 4: that one, and then there it goes over the economic blueprint.

1023
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 4: So he would get mentored by the Western Region Representative

1024
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 4: of the Nation of Islam, whose former name is Minister

1025
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 4: Tony Muhammad. His name now is Minister Minister Malik I

1026
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 4: do a Malix, said Muhammad, So he would be his mentor.

1027
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 4: He was mentoring in for about good over seven years,

1028
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 4: and he would call him and ask him questions about economics,

1029
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 4: about business, about you know, the brotherhood and just get

1030
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 4: it by being a man, et cetera. So that economic

1031
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 4: piece in him going out and studying bitcoin, all that

1032
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 4: kind of stuff was in the large part because of

1033
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 4: the nation and what he was learning from what we

1034
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 4: were doing. You see what I'm saying. So just him

1035
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 4: as a brother man, it was it was a powerful

1036
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 4: thing being around him. He was very intelligent. That's another thing.

1037
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 4: People really be sleeping on the hood, man, They really

1038
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 4: really think we're ignorant. How it. I'm from Compton, you know,

1039
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 4: he's La. He's ill trying, and he's out in LA.

1040
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 4: It's a lot of brothers and sisters coming out the hood.

1041
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 4: You're all from New York. And so when people see us.

1042
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 4: It's very interesting how they approach you because they really

1043
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 4: think you don't know a damn thing, and it's like, nah,

1044
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 4: I got a lot of knowledge down here, you know, like, really,

1045
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 4: don't don't play on me. He was he wasn't He

1046
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 4: wasn't flamboyant, he wasn't boastful, you know. But if you

1047
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 4: try to test him, he'll flex on him. So you like,

1048
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 4: let you no, no, no, I know something, bro, you

1049
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 4: sit down. But he would more so show it rather

1050
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 4: than talking. And that's something I really respect about the brother.

1051
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,919
Speaker 4: He was just consistent, did the work, and he built

1052
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 4: an empire that really with a lot of people in

1053
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 4: the hood.

1054
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 3: That's the fact. That's one of the quotes that you said.

1055
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 3: You said that the greatest soldiers sometimes come from the

1056
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 3: worst areas, and so you've made a concerted effort to

1057
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 3: go back into these areas. I saw your answer, so

1058
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 3: I had to talk about it because when you went

1059
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 3: in Chicago, we drove by Old Block, like, yo, that's

1060
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 3: old Block. But I saw you inside there, and like

1061
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 3: you said, when when when you see people from the nation,

1062
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 3: it's just a certain level of respect that you give.

1063
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 3: What was the experience like Old block bro.

1064
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,320
Speaker 4: First of all, the security guard looked at us, like,

1065
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 4: y'all you're trying to come in all sue it is

1066
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,600

1067
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,000

00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 4: mindset of our brothers because they couldn't believe it, like

00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 4: West Coast. He told us to take him to the hood,

1148
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 4: and I said, don't give me no downtown nice little No,

00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:07,839
Speaker 4: at what the news is saying is the worst here.

1151
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 4: Bring me there. That's why I want to go, because

1152
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 4: that's that's that's home for us. So when we got

1153
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 4: in there, bro, it was like they just couldn't believe.

1154
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 4: And they said, y'all not selling us nothing. Y'all ain't

1157
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 4: And that's that's love, bro. And after that we had

1158
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:25,360
Speaker 4: a conversation. We were there for about a good two hours.

1159
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 4: They was like, look, man, whenever y'all come in the

1160
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 4: old block, bro, hit us up. We're gonna get all

1161
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:30,800

1162
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 4: them whatever y'all want to do, man, because that's that's love.

1163
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 3: That's how it should be, that's how that's representation like,

1164
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 3: and that's kind of what you've been saying from the beginning.

1165
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,919
Speaker 3: It's just like, Yo, a lot of times we don't

1166
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 3: aspire to be things because we've never seen it. So

1167
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 3: like to see that type of love and coming to

1168
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 3: your neighborhood. That's what that should be the response to it.

1169
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 4: And it was different, different brothers from different neighborhoods in

1170
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 4: different cities and different states. So two brothers from Baltimore,

1171
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 4: one brother from Compson, and one brother from Chicago. First

1172
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 4: of all, y'all not fighting, that's really y'all. And the secondly,

1173
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 4: you'll all came in here with the same message, and

1174
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 4: it's all about love and just talking to each other

1175
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 4: and building up each other. We talked about business and

1176
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 4: economics with them, we did yeah, you know, and we

1177
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 4: talked about brotherhood. We talked about bringing unity to the

1178
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 4: hood and what y'all doing, How what do you need

1179
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 4: help with? Like what do y'all need? Y'all got food

1180
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:14,800
Speaker 4: in here, you got water? Like what's going on? And

1181
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 4: they were just educating and they said, man, y'a allesome,

1182
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 4: y'all someome world brothers. Man. So they all gave us

1183
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 4: the number. They said, but whenever y'all need to come

1184
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 4: up and here, we'll take you wherever the people are

1185
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 4: who need food. We know where the elders live at

1186
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 4: with the children that y'all let us know. Bro we're

1187
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 4: gonna we're gonna bring you all rounds. You see what

1188
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 4: I'm saying.

1189
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, man, yeah, I mean that's what it's about.

1190
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 2: It's about touching the people and you can't be afraid

1191
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 2: of your own people. And it's interesting too because it's

1192
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 2: like different different environments. Is like, because even you know,

1193
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 2: we're from New York, so you know, like you think

1194
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 2: of like the slums in New York, like you think

1195
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,840
Speaker 2: of housing projects, which is like you know, tenement buildings

1196
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 2: that they're very large, like twenty stories, fifteen stories. But

1197
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 2: we're driving through South Central it looks like a nice

1198
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 2: neighborhood like in reality. You know, it's like it's like

1199
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 2: it's kind of surprising because it's like.

1200
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 4: We got our hoods. No no, no, I'm just no

1201
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 4: no no.

1202
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 2: So what I'm saying, it's like, you know what I

1203
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 2: mean as far as the I feel like sometimes the

1204
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 2: mindset like can place a good neighborhood and make it bad.

1205
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:18,399
Speaker 4: Like you know what I'm saying.

1206
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 2: It's like the resources might be there to actually make

1207
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 2: it a good neighborhood, but you know, other elements can

1208
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 2: turn into a bad neighborhood. But on the outside looking

1209
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 2: in it doesn't necessarily fit the description of what a

1210
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 2: slum or bad neighborhood.

1211
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 3: It's not a foravilla, you know what I mean, especially

1212
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 3: if you grew up in it.

1213
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 4: You know, you can't really tell the difference. A lot

1214
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:41,359
Speaker 4: of these children, like I said, when I was walking

1215
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 4: in there and just watching them play around throw football

1216
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 4: and we threw the football around with him and everything,

1217
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 4: they didn't they couldn't tell we in the limited project.

1218
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like that bubble mentality. It's like, yo, I

1219
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 3: wish and working in the city, it was like I

1220
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 3: lived eight miles from where I was teaching, So I

1221
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:58,399
Speaker 3: was like, I used in my mind, like I really

1222
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 3: wish these kids could just see what eight miles the

1223
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 3: way it looks like, like just eight miles away, like

1224
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 3: just a bus ride away, how much different life looks

1225
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 3: because they just live in this bubble world where it's

1226
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 3: like this is all they know, but a lot of them.

1227
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 2: But also it goes back I said to appreciation, because

1228
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 2: like we talk about Harlem and it's like, all right,

1229
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 2: you see it's being gentified at a very alarming rate,

1230
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 2: and you see best stop being gentified at a very

1231
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 2: alarming rate. But it's like a lot of times we

1232
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:30,319
Speaker 2: don't fully appreciate it until it's actually being taken right,

1233
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,800
Speaker 2: because it's like even in New York, like there's projects,

1234
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 2: but then there's a neighborhood called Stuyvesant Town, so Stuyvesant

1235
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 2: toown literally looks like projects. It's the same thing, but

1236
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 2: that's not probably it's not public housing. It's just regular

1237
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 2: people live the even wealthy people live there. But the

1238
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 2: upkeep of the buildings are way better. So it's like

1239
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 2: it's it's an interesting dynamic because it's like, all right,

1240
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 2: so that now like even where in where we live

1241
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,359
Speaker 2: in our neighborhood, there's a public housing project and they've

1242
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 2: they've turning it into luxury buildings, but they're keeping the

1243
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 2: residents there and then they're like, it's gonna be like

1244
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 2: mixed use. So the theory I was talking to the

1245
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 2: one of developers and he was like, the theory behind

1246
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 2: it is that if you give people a sense of

1247
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 2: pride where they live, they're gonna take better care of it.

1248
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 2: And now the mindset of I'm living in the project,

1249
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 2: so I don't mind it being bad is that and

1250
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 2: now I'm living in luxury so it's a responsibility to upkeep.

1251
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 2: So what I'm saying is that I just think that

1252
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 2: we should have that same mindset no matter what, because

1253
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 2: it's upkeep. Because even I see like the nation, like

1254
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 2: you pick up garbage on the streets and stuff like this,

1255
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 2: like little stuff like that, like just literally littering. You

1256
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 2: don't really think about it, but it goes a long way,

1257
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 2: know it. It's like the whole It's like a domino fact.

1258
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 3: I think. I think that's one of the conversations we had.

1259
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 3: It was like, Yo, if I gave you a Bentley,

1260
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 3: you're gonna treat it like a Bentley. If I gave

1261
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 3: you a Toyota, You're not gonna treat it like it

1262
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 3: was a Bentley. You just going to look said Toyota.

1263
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying exactly.

1264
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, see that, like you said, made a very good

1265
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 4: point when you said, we don't appreciate things until they're

1266
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 4: taken away from us. That's a big deal because now

1267
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 4: people are talking about gentrification. But it's like like you said,

1268
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 4: you be you know, litering, you be doing all kinds

1269
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 4: of throwing stuff out the window. You don't even you

1270
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 4: don't clean up around the neighborhood. You know, like this

1271
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 4: is this is yours, but if you don't treat it

1272
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 4: like it's yours, then of course somebody else is gonna

1273
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 4: claim it. You know, right now we have on eighty

1274
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 4: eighth and Vermont over in LA, these new housing units

1275
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 4: that they just put up, and I'm like, okay, it's

1276
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 4: usually a lot of homeless right there. It's a lot

1277
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,479
Speaker 4: of neighborhoods right there, those right down street from Vermont

1278
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 4: and Manchester Central, that's South Central, this is LA. I'm like, so,

1279
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 4: who the hell invested right there in that in that

1280
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 4: area because I know we didn't do it. Secondly, who's

1281
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 4: going to be living in there? Because I know it's

1282
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 4: not going to be us living there. So to me,

1283
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 4: I'm like to see, now we got to change thisself

1284
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 4: because the moment they start coming back in, we can't

1285
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 4: complain because it's too late. Now. We need to be

1286
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 4: pooling our resources, our money right now and start to

1287
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 4: buy up piece by piece, And which is what we

1288
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 4: are doing. You know, some of us are doing it,

1289
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 4: others are not doing it. But as a people, we

1290
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 4: got to get into that mentality of yeah, you may

1291
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 4: not have all the money as an individual, right you

1292
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 4: live in the projects, you got twenty dollars. Though you

1293
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 4: got next door they got twenty each person the projects,

1294
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 4: y'all can come up with a twenty. We're gonna all

1295
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 4: put that together and we can start buying up plots

1296
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 4: of land and then we can start building on it.

1297
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 4: That's how the mentality is supposed to be.

1298
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 3: Then it becomes ours right now, it doesn't become something

1299
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 3: with renting, And it was like, oh, we can't pass that.

1300
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 2: We also we interviewed Chris Senegal. He's a realitate developer

1301
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 2: in Houston, Texas. So what he's doing is interesting. He

1302
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 2: brought like a whole block in the Fifth Ward, which

1303
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 2: at the time was a really bad neighborhood. It was

1304
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 2: like prostitutions, liquor stores, and it was pretty dilapidated.

1305
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 4: So he.

1306
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 2: Re renovated the whole block townhouses. But what he's doing

1307
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 2: is that so it's like, all right, Usually somebody from

1308
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 2: the hood does good. They become a doctor, a lawyer, whatever.

1309
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 2: They moved to the suburbs. So he's like, all right,

1310
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 2: those people that are originally from the Fifth Ward that

1311
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 2: moved to the suburbs, he's like recruiting them to come back.

1312
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 2: So it's like you know what I mean, Like now

1313
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 2: you bringing back So it's not even like you're compromising

1314
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 2: the economy because but now it's raising But now it's

1315
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 2: helping everybody because the school system and that. But it's

1316
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 2: people that actually care for the community and a part

1317
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 2: of the culture because it came from it. As opposed

1318
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 2: to somebody it just has nothing to do with the

1319
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 2: community at all.

1320
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 4: Build up the hood and not a band in the hood.

1321
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 4: That's how it is. You know, a lot of us.

1322
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 4: See the funny thing is now a lot of people

1323
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 4: who left the hood now to look into the hood

1324
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 4: because the activists have become the celebrities.

1325
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 3: Come down there.

1326
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 4: Shouldn't have left, right, But that's that's the It shouldn't

1327
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 4: take all that. But now I'm very proud of that

1328
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 4: brother for doing that, because that's exactly what needs to happen.

1329
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 4: Whatever hood you came from, it's really like adopt the hood.

1330
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 4: That's yours. What you're doing Like it's like a newborn

1331
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 4: baby you just left it. No, it's your hood. Is

1332
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 4: where you came from. It's what gave you your foundation,

1333
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 4: good or bad, what up to make you what you are.

1334
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 4: So going adopted you don't have to buy everything, but

1335
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 4: at least buy something, and like you said, start to

1336
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 4: renovate it, revamped, re establish it, and build it up

1337
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 4: so that the hood's value can go up. People can

1338
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 4: feel good, like, damn, that's in. That's in the hood. Man,

1339
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 4: that looks good. Somebody might tag on it. You got

1340
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 4: to handle them. It's a process. It's a process.

1341
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 3: And once you start doing that, like like big business said,

1342
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 3: like you are the comps, right so now like this

1343
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 3: house is yours, the one next door, y'all own it,

1344
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 3: y'all set the comps, every appreciation of the neighborhood goes up.

1345
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 4: Hire the people in the hood. Man at homeless, dude,

1346
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 4: hire him. Since you're sitting right here, all right, I'm

1347
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 4: gonna make you the person who watches Take this radio

1348
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 4: and if you see anybody trunk tag, go ahead, radio

1349
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 4: or let us know. We're gonna pay you a couple

1350
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 4: hundred a week to start. We're gonna clean you up

1351
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 4: something serious.

1352
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 3: Hire them.

1353
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. Look at you're gonna work

1354
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 4: for me. You don't need whatever. Just come on, boom,

1355
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 4: You're gonna work here. When you need a job, be fifteen,

1356
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 4: Come on, we got something, you can sweep, buve, you

1357
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 4: can help the paint whatever. That's how it is. We

1358
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 4: think a little too deep when it comes to this.

1359
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 4: Stuff is very very very simple. A couple hundred dollars

1360
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 4: can go a long way for one person to help

1361
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 4: them and their family. And you can give them a

1362
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 4: job that takes maybe less than two hours to train

1363
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 4: them to do that will help to go towards the collective.

1364
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. It's real simple stuff.

1365
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: Man.

1366
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 2: You brought up a good point where you just said

1367
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 2: that the activist has become the celebrities and don't get mad,

1368
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 2: all right, No, it's true, especially with social media, the

1369
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 2: rise of social media. So I see a lot of

1370
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 2: stuff that you do, and and but one thing that

1371
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 2: I'm interested in is like you're branding, because like I

1372
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 2: feel like you've branded yourself your own way. It's kind

1373
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 2: of like like, I don't know if you you've ever

1374
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 2: heard a Wallow to succesven.

1375
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, I love my brother.

1376
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my god. That's my got shout to Wallow.

1377
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 2: He's being on the podcast as well, so but another one.

1378
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 2: He's just very interesting. He has an interesting story and

1379
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 2: he came out. He's a motivational speaker and he did

1380
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 2: twenty years in jail. So but you're you're branding yourself

1381
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 2: from a political standpoint, an activist standpoint, but it's still

1382
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 2: it's still a brand, right, So like, what was your

1383
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 2: thought process behind that? Did you originally set out to

1384
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 2: become a social media influencer and how did you how

1385
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 2: did you build that brand?

1386
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 4: How did that happen? I'd say this, first of all,

1387
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 4: I never intended to be no social media influencer, not

1388
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 4: even closed. I've been doing this work, meaning activism, being

1389
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 4: a researcher, educator. I've been doing this since I was

1390
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 4: eleven years old in the hood in Compton, specifically at

1391
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 4: a nonprofit social betterment literacy program. That's why I was

1392
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:03,479
Speaker 4: working since I was eleven years old. So the people

1393
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 4: coming into the program was black Mexicans, people who were

1394
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 4: on drugs, people who were on probation just got out

1395
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 4: of jail, trying to get their children back, people who

1396
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 4: couldn't read, couldn't write, people who were having to go

1397
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 4: to this program in order for them to get their

1398
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:17,959
Speaker 4: children back, in order for them to get their rights

1399
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 4: back or whatever. All this stuff. This is what I've

1400
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 4: been doing since I was eleven years old. So teaching people,

1401
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 4: educating people, cleaning up, you know, the community, being in

1402
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 4: the community. All this stuff is what I've been doing

1403
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 4: long before Instagram was even created in twenty twelve, you

1404
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So that's why when people talk

1405
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 4: to me, they're like, man, how do you study? And

1406
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 4: it just comes so naturally because I do it in

1407
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 4: real life. Like some of y'all started on social media, right,

1408
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 4: starting on social media. Now they trying to bring it

1409
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 4: to the street. I started in the street and brought

1410
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 4: it to social media. That's the difference. And that's not

1411
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 4: to belittle anybody, you know, it's the beauty is good.

1412
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 4: Wherever we are good, keep progressing. But I started and

1413
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 4: in still in the street as an educator, you know, activist,

1414
01:03:56,840 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 4: et cetera, researcher. So I saw social media and I noticed, okay, well, man,

1415
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 4: if I can educate the people, I know, our attention

1416
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 4: span kind of short. We got sixty seconds speaking of

1417
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 4: ass so we can do something with this. And like

1418
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 4: you said, so I started doing videos and it started

1419
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 4: flying real quick. I was like, oh, well, dang, okay,

1420
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 4: well I guess this is what I'm gona start doing

1421
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 4: just to help the people more than my immediate environment.

1422
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 4: And it took off. So I mean, I just you know, now,

1423
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 4: they they haven't shut me down yet, so I'm surprised.

1424
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 4: I'm still I'm really surprised.

1425
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 3: It's still let me no shadows bands yet, No shadows

1426
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 3: bands yet.

1427
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 4: They let you rock your videos a lot of views,

1428
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:37,640
Speaker 4: I see that.

1429
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 3: So, speaking of social media and it's positive or negative impact,

1430
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 3: one of the things you said is that right now

1431
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 3: this might be the most ignorant generation despite having the

1432
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 3: most access and resources to information. Sir, can you go

1433
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 3: into that a little bit?

1434
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 4: Absolutely, this generation, first of all, as far as concess

1435
01:04:56,520 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 4: is the most powerful generation that has ever been produced. One.

1436
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 4: We don't fear this system. We don't really care about

1437
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 4: what white people got to say. We really don't care

1438
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 4: about what anyone has to say. As this generation, we

1439
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 4: really are just ripe and ready to do whatever needs

1440
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 4: to be done for our freedom. All we need is

1441
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 4: proper guidance, that's it. So we have the whole world

1442
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 4: in our hands, but we don't know where to go.

1443
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:24,919
Speaker 4: We look at at nothing, but you know, working take

1444
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 4: whatever hit the role all day and I love, so

1445
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 4: I can't hate on that. But at the same time,

1446
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 4: it's like, damn, we can utilize this to make some change, bro.

1447
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 4: I mean, we can cause a create an entire revolution

1448
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 4: just from this, you know what I'm saying. So we

1449
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 4: need just the right guidance. So the ignorance meaning the

1450
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 4: lack of information and the lack of knowledge, So we

1451
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 4: lack the knowledge about a lot of things, what's going

1452
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 4: on politically, economically, agriculturally, with us as a people, with

1453
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 4: us as a nation, with us as a society. So

1454
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 4: we have to give them the knowledge that they need

1455
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 4: and then give them the guidance because we got all

1456
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 4: the access to the information. So if I say, look,

1457
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 4: hashtag you know black cash mob twenty twenty, which is

1458
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 4: my hashtag, hashtag black cash Mob twenty twenty, all black

1459
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 4: owned businesses spending on all black everything you send it

1460
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 4: around that gets ten thousand, forty thousand shares. So you

1461
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 4: just created an entire revolutionary constructive change, and a lot

1462
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 4: of people can access and they can follow it, and

1463
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 4: they can progressively do something in their community wherever they are.

1464
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 4: They're not next to you, They in another city, another state,

1465
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 4: and other country, but they are being involved in something

1466
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 4: that you originated that spreads across the ethers of the universe.

1467
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 4: That right there, bro is that's the power we have.

1468
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 4: Now we just have to keep them being guided in

1469
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 4: the right direction. That's the only thing I.

1470
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 3: Know what to look for.

1471
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 4: That's it. They just need to know, like what what

1472
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 4: do I do? Where do I go?

1473
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 2: I want to I want to ask you about Kingdom playing.

1474
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 2: I want to talk about your book as well. Yes,

1475
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:49,160
Speaker 2: but I have one question before.

1476
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 4: Ais.

1477
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 2: Artificial intelligence is something that we've talked about a lot

1478
01:06:56,560 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 2: on our platform. And because I remember, like in New York,

1479
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 2: there's tolls, a lot of tolls, yes, and I remember

1480
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 2: when those were jobs people you know, you would give

1481
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 2: them five dollars and they give you four dollars back

1482
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 2: or whatever and they break the change for your next

1483
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 2: They stood in the booth all day, summertime, winner and

1484
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:15,439
Speaker 2: they got paid fifteen dollars an hour whatever they got paid.

1485
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 4: And that was a job for a lot of people.

1486
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 2: And there's no Everything is through cameras now and they

1487
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:23,920
Speaker 2: take pictures and they send you either easy pass or

1488
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 2: they send you a bill and the mail. And now

1489
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 2: we see with Amazon ghost stores where there's no cashiers

1490
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 2: and you just walk out the store.

1491
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:30,919
Speaker 4: It's just Yeah.

1492
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 2: So Andrew Yang spoke about this, he got a lot

1493
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 2: of publicity for it when he said that, you know,

1494
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,919
Speaker 2: it's going to be an economic title wave. I believe

1495
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 2: he said an economic title wave that's gonna it's unproportionately

1496
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 2: hit the black and brown communities because unfortunately, these are

1497
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 2: the people that have most of the lower paying jobs

1498
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 2: and manual jobs.

1499
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 3: Right.

1500
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,800
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on artificial technology? How do we

1501
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 2: get on the right because I look got it like

1502
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:02,920
Speaker 2: it's not going anywhere. It's only going to be So

1503
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 2: it's like we can complain about it's taking up jobs,

1504
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 2: or we can try to get on a different side

1505
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 2: of this thing. But it's a real situation and it's

1506
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 2: gonna only more and more jobs I think are just

1507
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 2: going to be lost because it's just more efficient from

1508
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 2: a business standpoint. So what's your thoughts on that?

1509
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:23,679
Speaker 4: I'll say it this way. That's where when your first question,

1510
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 4: first question dealing with capitalism, now we are back at

1511
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 4: it now on the negative end, because if you're willing

1512
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 4: to hire a robot versus a man who has been

1513
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,720
Speaker 4: doing this for twenty years, probably went to school for it,

1514
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 4: or if it's just a warehouse job. He's a good worker.

1515
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 4: You know, he comes in on time. Young brother, he's

1516
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 4: like twenty five years old. You know, we got two children.

1517
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:47,680
Speaker 4: He works hard, that's what he does. You'd rather not

1518
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 4: do that because of the higher liability, et cetera. He

1519
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 4: may get injured, sue you whatever. All right, I put

1520
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:56,160
Speaker 4: a robot there, business wise, sounds very sound. I mean

1521
01:08:56,520 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 4: robot gets you know, beat up, whatever, don't matter. A robot,

1522
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:02,640
Speaker 4: I just make buy another one whatever, or I have

1523
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:07,599
Speaker 4: insurance on it. Sounds amazing. Here's a problem, how many robots?

1524
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 4: How many jobs? First of all, do you think it

1525
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 4: will take for the system to understand that eventually it's

1526
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:18,640
Speaker 4: going to hit you, the rich, the people making all

1527
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 4: the money, because after a certain point, you can't have

1528
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 4: robots for everything. This is what these futuristic movies come

1529
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 4: into play. When it comes to all the way from

1530
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 4: terminator all the way over to I robot. It's I'm

1531
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 4: dropping lot of names, all these different things where people

1532
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 4: have to understand. The moment you start making technology and

1533
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 4: you give it artificial intelligence, you're now delving into the

1534
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 4: area of God. After a certain point, like giving robots

1535
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:45,759
Speaker 4: citizenship in Saudi Arabia. Now you got a driver's license.

1536
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 4: Now it's like, okay, we'll hold on, hold on, see

1537
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:52,760
Speaker 4: what what you doing? What are you doing? There is

1538
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 4: a limit here, Like let's say, we have to maintain

1539
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 4: our humanity. Money cannot be your God. That's why some

1540
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 4: people they say they believe in God. But people when

1541
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,920
Speaker 4: it comes to money, some of them believe in God, gold,

1542
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:08,599
Speaker 4: oil and drugs. God not actual you know, the Supreme Being, etc.

1543
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 4: You have to look at your humanity here is that

1544
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 4: much money worth it? Well, I just got I gotta

1545
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 4: have I gotta be a billionaire, a trillionaire and all that.

1546
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,880
Speaker 4: But at the expense of people who actually live their lives.

1547
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:22,559
Speaker 4: This is where that evil and wicked type of mentality goes.

1548
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:24,439
Speaker 4: So we have to be very mindful here. You can

1549
01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:27,320
Speaker 4: still employ people, have your robots, etcetera. But if you

1550
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:29,640
Speaker 4: want to have robot technology, okay, good, help them go

1551
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 4: clean up the neighborhoods. Send robots to go help the

1552
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 4: people who are homeless, people who are you know, medically handicapped, etcee.

1553
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 4: That there are many different areas that we need. But

1554
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,600
Speaker 4: y'all gonna send it to the jobs to take it

1555
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 4: away from the people who actually working hard to take

1556
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 4: care of their family. So I'm not interested in the

1557
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 4: way they're doing it. The issue is that they're going

1558
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 4: to keep doing it as long as the people allow it,

1559
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 4: and also as long as the people keep putting their

1560
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:57,599
Speaker 4: hands out for these jobs rather than doing for self,

1561
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,160
Speaker 4: rather than pooling your resources with your own community, your

1562
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 4: own people, and setting up your own companies, your own

1563
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 4: jobs to where you will survive because this whole economic situation, Bro,

1564
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 4: Blacks and Mexicans, for the majority, we are the warehouse workers,

1565
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 4: We are the bus boys, We are the ones who

1566
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 4: work for these cab companies. We are the ones who

1567
01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:19,719
Speaker 4: work being waiters and waitresses and all this kind of stuff,

1568
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:22,120
Speaker 4: all of these jobs. Bro, the people who do sub

1569
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 4: with all this stuff, we are the workers for that.

1570
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 4: So pretty much all of those they can replace with robots.

1571
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 4: And they have looked at that. That's why he was

1572
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:30,880
Speaker 4: saying that. Jay, he was like, you know, I think

1573
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 4: he said about the year was say twenty fifty or

1574
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 4: twenty thirty two, one of those two. He said, A

1575
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:38,400
Speaker 4: large chunk of the jobs are going to be replaced

1576
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:41,400
Speaker 4: by robots because that's they're projecting it, because they're planning it,

1577
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:44,599
Speaker 4: and it's very sound. So again, we got to get

1578
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 4: back to us building our own things and doing for

1579
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 4: self because the corporate pocracy, this corporate government and system,

1580
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:53,040
Speaker 4: they are going to do what they want to do,

1581
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 4: but if they don't have our cooperation and our involvement,

1582
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:57,880
Speaker 4: then it won't affect us. We got to pull out

1583
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 4: of this system, bro, and establish our own the only

1584
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 4: way we're going to survive this.

1585
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, that's crazy that you said that.

1586
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:06,080
Speaker 3: I actually really wrote that down the gold, oil and drugs,

1587
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:08,680
Speaker 3: because that's a conversation Shotty and out we always have,

1588
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:10,640
Speaker 3: and I'm like, yo, you can't serve two masses and

1589
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 3: so like that used to be like like my brother

1590
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 3: he's actually a pastor now, but we used to have

1591
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:16,639
Speaker 3: this conversation like you can't serve two masses. You're gonna

1592
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 3: love one and hate the other. That would lead to

1593
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:24,839
Speaker 3: like a three hour conversation about money. Yeah, yeah, exactly before.

1594
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 4: We go there, be interested in technology, let me not,

1595
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:30,720
Speaker 4: you know, Like that's what I got to say. Be

1596
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:34,600
Speaker 4: invested in it, learn it, understand how it works, and

1597
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:36,640
Speaker 4: then also use it for us as a people. We

1598
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 4: need to have technology when it comes to virtually everything,

1599
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 4: we just don't need to overwhelmingly use it to where

1600
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:44,080
Speaker 4: we say, okay, good, I'm gonna use all this technology

1601
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 4: and not give the way for my brothers and sisters

1602
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 4: to make their own money and to have a livelihood.

1603
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 4: Not let's use it to help us to maintain a

1604
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:53,200
Speaker 4: livelihood and to medlhood. That's what we have to do.

1605
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 4: So we have to use it for the progressive way

1606
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 4: rather than it, you know, being a heavy, wicked capitalistic way.

1607
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 4: I'm gonna just make all this and I'll give it

1608
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 4: damn if you eat or you eat, it's all about me.

1609
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:07,680
Speaker 2: So, speaking speaking of technology, Kingdom Pay Yes, sir? What

1610
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 2: is can we talk about Kingdom Pay.

1611
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:14,679
Speaker 4: Yes, sir? Kingdom Pay partially owned Branti Jackson, another brother myself.

1612
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 4: It is the black owned version of cash app, Venmo, PayPal,

1613
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:26,639
Speaker 4: et cetera. People, it's like finally legit. Yes, it's legit.

1614
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 4: Some of the top people in the top companies, people

1615
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:32,280
Speaker 4: who have been training these companies have been doing this

1616
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:35,960
Speaker 4: for a long time. Very powerful. It's it's I mean,

1617
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 4: it almost seemed impossible, you know, when I was approached

1618
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 4: with that idea, and when they brought it to men,

1619
01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 4: they said, brother, this is what we're doing, this is

1620
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:43,920
Speaker 4: what it is, and everything's set up, and I just

1621
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 4: I was like, finally, because this is what it means

1622
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 4: to do for self. We need to be able to

1623
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 4: have a way to transfer in sind and receive our

1624
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,240
Speaker 4: own money. Because if we start getting our own money, cool,

1625
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:55,439
Speaker 4: But if we're still transferring and using their systems with

1626
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 4: which to move it, then they still have our control

1627
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:00,880
Speaker 4: or they still we're still to their control. So we

1628
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 4: have to have a way to move around all the money.

1629
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 4: So Kingdom paid, That's what it is. And it's because

1630
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 4: Kingdom pays. It's not about your religious group. It's about

1631
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:11,600
Speaker 4: do you believe in God, the kingdom, you know, the

1632
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 4: king dome, the King that sits on the dome of

1633
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:16,920
Speaker 4: your mind, whatever you call God him it hurt or whatever.

1634
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 4: Do you just believe that there's a supreme being boom,

1635
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:21,879
Speaker 4: That's all that matters. We're not about all that nonsense,

1636
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:24,759
Speaker 4: because again, when it comes to money, the color lines

1637
01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 4: don't shouldn't matter. But when it comes to the control

1638
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:30,720
Speaker 4: of your money, everyone should have their ability to control.

1639
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 3: Their own Listen, So Kingdom pays through an app and

1640
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:33,479
Speaker 3: a website.

1641
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 4: It's right now, it is about to launch. It's a

1642
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:38,920
Speaker 4: soft launch right now we're talking about it. You know

1643
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,560
Speaker 4: it is go download it, definitely, but and it is

1644
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 4: free to download, same thing as cash paper, all of that,

1645
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 4: and it does all of the same things. And you

1646
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 4: also are able to invest in bitcoin. You're able to

1647
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 4: have your digital wallet, all the same stuff that you

1648
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:53,600
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, it's it's legit, y'all. Definitely got to

1649
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 4: check it out, Maneah, when it drops, let us when

1650
01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:58,040
Speaker 4: it officially drops, let us know.

1651
01:14:58,120 --> 01:14:58,320
Speaker 3: And we.

1652
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:00,240
Speaker 4: Sure.

1653
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 2: Speaking of crypto, I've seen you spoke about crypto a lot.

1654
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on on crypto? We have in

1655
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 2: my mind, I'll had some some some experiences with our

1656
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 2: own crypto.

1657
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 3: You kind of talked about we got to find some

1658
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:14,639
Speaker 3: new currencies, and I'm like, all right, well, what's what's

1659
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 3: your thoughts on crypto?

1660
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:17,840
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, there's so many of them, man,

1661
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:20,840
Speaker 4: And now I mean it started with one uh and

1662
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:24,080
Speaker 4: from understanding, was created by a Japanese man who goes

1663
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:27,040
Speaker 4: under another alias so that he wouldn't be tracked and traced.

1664
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:33,719
Speaker 4: Because this is something that this guy.

1665
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 3: Ud never get your name right, and now he got

1666
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:37,680
Speaker 3: that one.

1667
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 4: But it's it's it's a trip man, because now you're

1668
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:45,640
Speaker 4: looking at a currency that is universal, that can be

1669
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:46,799
Speaker 4: used virtually anywhere.

1670
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:50,280
Speaker 3: That is a very dangerous thing for game changes.

1671
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:51,960
Speaker 4: Oh that's a game change because it's like wait, wait wait.

1672
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 4: And in America there are certain places where have a

1673
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 4: teams now Las Vegas, Atlanta, Atlanta. So it's like it's legit,

1674
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:02,719
Speaker 4: it's real. When it first started, you know, ten twenty

1675
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 4: years ago, I believe a little over ten years ago,

1676
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:06,800
Speaker 4: people were investing in it. The big coins were like

1677
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:08,960
Speaker 4: I think a dollar. Some of them were like thirty

1678
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 4: forty cents, maybe two or three dollars. People who invested

1679
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:13,960
Speaker 4: in that ten years ago are millionaires.

1680
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 2: Now there's a guy you're you know the pizza story. Yeah,

1681
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:19,679
Speaker 2: so there's a guy Thabay. It's not familiar. When bitcoin

1682
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 2: first came out, this guy he was like just testing

1683
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 2: out bitcoin and it was a pizza rea and he

1684
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:28,559
Speaker 2: exchanged with the equivalent. He brought a slice of pizza

1685
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:31,880
Speaker 2: with I think the amount of bitcoin that he had

1686
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:34,639
Speaker 2: now I think would have been worth like eighteen million dollars.

1687
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,799
Speaker 3: Something like that, eighteen eighteen million dollars.

1688
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:41,200
Speaker 2: Eighteen million dollars pizza pot. So that's uh wow, talk

1689
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 2: about a mistake. But it's crazy because bitcoin. We've talked

1690
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:46,600
Speaker 2: about bitcoin on the platform before, but it's one of

1691
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 2: these things that's quietly creeping. It's almost that like twelve thousand.

1692
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely was over eleven.

1693
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 2: It peaked at twelve twenty thousand years ago, and then

1694
01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 2: he crashed and then he got lower as like thirty

1695
01:16:57,360 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 2: seven hundred a few months ago. But now it's like

1696
01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:02,840
Speaker 2: rising like upwards of close to twelve thousand.

1697
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:06,560
Speaker 4: On the law. Nobody's watching, nobody's even talking about it.

1698
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:08,880
Speaker 4: And that's why we have to you know, when I

1699
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:11,240
Speaker 4: when I talk about it, and there are different forms

1700
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 4: of it. That's the main thing people have to know.

1701
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,320
Speaker 4: There are so many different forms of so many different names,

1702
01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 4: et cetera. Be mindful, be educated, get with people who

1703
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 4: are experienced in that. That's you can lose everything. You

1704
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:25,839
Speaker 4: can buy this and it's gone tomorrow.

1705
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 3: We are we are proponents of that. And like we

1706
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 3: tell everybody the other time, we have lost money. We've

1707
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:33,840
Speaker 3: literally lost money. Like we we try to make a

1708
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 3: trade and it disappeared to send it to the wrong

1709
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:41,760
Speaker 3: address and disappeared. Like literally, it's in crypto space.

1710
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:45,240
Speaker 4: That kind of stuff happens to Yeah, just be again,

1711
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 4: be careful, be mindful. Have somebody who's experienced, really experienced,

1712
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 4: successfully experienced, and then work with them and then start

1713
01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:56,920
Speaker 4: start low. Don't be don't toss your whole damns my savings.

1714
01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 3: Do not just go. Yeah, and that's what you you

1715
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:02,880
Speaker 3: are willing to lose. Exactly when I knew that it

1716
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:06,560
Speaker 3: was real, and I forget the CEO of Ripple, but

1717
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 3: they had asked him this question. He was like, yo,

1718
01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:11,120
Speaker 3: what's the fastest way to get money from San Francisco

1719
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 3: to London? And somebody said a wire transfer them It

1720
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:16,639
Speaker 3: was like nope, it's going to take two to three days.

1721
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 3: They like, put it through the bank. They were like, no,

1722
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 3: that type of money doing like over two hundred thousand's

1723
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:23,720
Speaker 3: going to take seven to ten. And he's like, you know,

1724
01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:26,000
Speaker 3: the fastest way, get on a plane with two hundred

1725
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,680
Speaker 3: and fifty thousand and go to London. That's the fastest way.

1726
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:30,560
Speaker 3: That's real, and that's why we have cryptocurrency.

1727
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:34,760
Speaker 4: That's real, that's real. You see in mind, you see people,

1728
01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:36,640
Speaker 4: are you gotta understand this when it comes to the

1729
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:39,920
Speaker 4: physical money and the crypto again, be smart about both.

1730
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:42,360
Speaker 4: The gold you gotta look at it again because we

1731
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 4: see gold is rising. The silver coins of pre nineteen

1732
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 4: thirty three silver coins, you gotta look at those. You know,

1733
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:50,519
Speaker 4: there are different things that you have to look at because,

1734
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:52,800
Speaker 4: as I said, the American dollar is going down. So

1735
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:55,680
Speaker 4: because of that, now you're forced. We're forced to look

1736
01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 4: at other forms of currency. We just have to be

1737
01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 4: smart about which ones we choose and how much we

1738
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 4: invest in each one. You know, whichever one has been

1739
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 4: seen to be the most valuable, the most solid, the

1740
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 4: longest record. Gold never's gonna lose value, right, that's the

1741
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 4: physical asset, good silver, et cetera. And whatever other ones

1742
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 4: that you have seen that have that type of longevity.

1743
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:15,559
Speaker 4: Those are the ones you want to stick with first.

1744
01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:17,240
Speaker 4: And then of course you can look at the other

1745
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:19,599
Speaker 4: forms of currency. You liveing in Africa, they check those out.

1746
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 4: You're living in Mexico, you're living in wherever. Look at

1747
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:24,680
Speaker 4: how you can invest in transfer into those. When I

1748
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:27,240
Speaker 4: went to China, I didn't know that I was supposed

1749
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:30,560
Speaker 4: to go to the currency exchange area in the international

1750
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:32,519
Speaker 4: termin of the airport. I didn't know I was supposed

1751
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 4: to give them my like two three hundred bucks there

1752
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:35,760
Speaker 4: and then they'll give me back the currency, you know,

1753
01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 4: Chinese currency. I know that I'm on a plane, like

1754
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:40,400
Speaker 4: four hundred dollars in American currency. I get out there China,

1755
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:43,559
Speaker 4: I'm trying to buy some food and they're like looking

1756
01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:45,280
Speaker 4: at me, like they look at you crazy.

1757
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 3: Your money's no good here man.

1758
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:50,200
Speaker 4: That's when I said, oh, I get it now, Okay.

1759
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:52,639
Speaker 4: See when you leave the country, you feel it. It's

1760
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:57,160
Speaker 4: a big difference, especially like America's dollars is not accepted everywhere.

1761
01:19:57,320 --> 01:20:00,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, China, Europe because it's strongly Europe is stronger.

1762
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:02,880
Speaker 4: Even in Europe. It is crazy because I was in

1763
01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 4: Europe and I was in France.

1764
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:07,040
Speaker 2: I tried to use an American dollar and they was

1765
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:08,760
Speaker 2: looking at me like I was crazy, like because it's

1766
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:10,280
Speaker 2: less worse than the euro.

1767
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:11,839
Speaker 4: So I had to get euros.

1768
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:14,720
Speaker 2: And then I went to London too, and then I

1769
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:16,920
Speaker 2: tried to use the euro and London and they looked

1770
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:19,400
Speaker 2: at me like I was crazy because the euro's worth

1771
01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 2: less than the pound.

1772
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:23,000
Speaker 4: Come on, so it's like, yes, it's a real thing.

1773
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:25,160
Speaker 4: You got to research it, and especially if you want

1774
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:27,479
Speaker 4: to travel, if you want to leave the country, you

1775
01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:30,880
Speaker 4: have to understand, Okay, America's dollar is worth a dollar here,

1776
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:34,040
Speaker 4: one of the euros or is worth half a year. Okay,

1777
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:35,880
Speaker 4: so I need two American dollars for one year too,

1778
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:37,880
Speaker 4: you know, for example, then you have to look at, Okay,

1779
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:39,920
Speaker 4: how much money do I have to bring out there

1780
01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 4: to actually make the equivalent of what I think is

1781
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,200
Speaker 4: gonna be worth out here. You know, there's a lot

1782
01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:46,600
Speaker 4: to understand, you know, But but we really do have

1783
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:48,439
Speaker 4: to look at other forms of currency, is my point.

1784
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:49,720
Speaker 4: We have to look at it like we don't have

1785
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:52,160
Speaker 4: a choice. Look at silver, look at gold, and again

1786
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:56,519
Speaker 4: different forms of bitcoin have experts or get training. That's

1787
01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 4: something that we're going to launch as well when it

1788
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 4: comes to that in online academy for people to be

1789
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:03,360
Speaker 4: able to take trainings in those areas, because that's what

1790
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 4: we need to learn. That that was what was real estate,

1791
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:07,479
Speaker 4: et cetera. But it's really that time, bro, So we

1792
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:08,719
Speaker 4: have to look at other forms of currency.

1793
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:12,080
Speaker 2: So message to the millennials, can you talk about can

1794
01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 2: you talk about the book and what it entails and yeah,

1795
01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:18,839
Speaker 2: what's the science behind that message to the millennials?

1796
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:20,439
Speaker 4: If you if you flip it over on the back,

1797
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:25,360
Speaker 4: you'll see a picture of myself. You'll see Mostnoblajah Mohammed

1798
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:28,080
Speaker 4: and it's the Fara Khan because this book was inspired

1799
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 4: by message to the black man HM. Okay, the same

1800
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 4: book again that Nip gave to Ti, the same book

1801
01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:34,599
Speaker 4: that was that's been read by well over ten million

1802
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:37,639
Speaker 4: people that has sparked the consciousness of millions of people.

1803
01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:41,360
Speaker 4: And this one I said, Okay, for this generation, we

1804
01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:45,439
Speaker 4: need to know about some of the top topics affecting

1805
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:47,960
Speaker 4: us as a people and then us as a human

1806
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 4: family on the planet. I need to put something in

1807
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 4: a book that if they shut my social media platforms down,

1808
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:56,080
Speaker 4: this will be a guide for this generation to help

1809
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:58,800
Speaker 4: them to navigate through what's going on. That's really what

1810
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:03,040
Speaker 4: I looked at. The tipping point for me was in

1811
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:07,200
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen. I believe are twenty seventeen pardon me, the

1812
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:11,800
Speaker 4: FBI classified black people black youth who are interested in

1813
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:15,679
Speaker 4: loving our people, being passionate, but also who are fearless

1814
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 4: and who will stand up to police brutality. They are

1815
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:22,840
Speaker 4: now labeling us as bies or black identity extremists. It's like,

1816
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:25,160
Speaker 4: wait a minute, so you call it black identity extremists,

1817
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:28,000
Speaker 4: black identity extremists. So they came out with that, which

1818
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 4: is basically cold, a cold term for co Intel Pro

1819
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 4: twenty twenty. You know where they're going to try to

1820
01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 4: infiltrate the black revolutionary groups and organizations that really are

1821
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:39,640
Speaker 4: us just standing up and saying we demand justice. You know,

1822
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:41,920
Speaker 4: we want freedom, we want equality. We're not trying to

1823
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:43,720
Speaker 4: go out here and kill police and kill white foot like,

1824
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 4: that's not what we are about at all. But if

1825
01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:49,280
Speaker 4: the people are to understand what's going on, they need

1826
01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:52,800
Speaker 4: to have somebody to give them something specifically in this generation. One,

1827
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:56,360
Speaker 4: the generation doesn't read that much, okay, which it works

1828
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:58,240
Speaker 4: both sides of the brain, so reading is very important.

1829
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:00,280
Speaker 4: But two, I said, I got to give them something

1830
01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 4: that's going to go over social media. First of all,

1831
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 4: because I couldn't find a book that was really going

1832
01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:06,439
Speaker 4: over heavily social media. Chapter two is in there. The

1833
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:11,240
Speaker 4: book goes over tell live Vision programming. They're telling you lies,

1834
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:14,120
Speaker 4: and they're programming O visually by telling you lies. Okay,

1835
01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:16,439
Speaker 4: they got that in there. It goes over some of

1836
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:20,360
Speaker 4: the mind control projects that are established through social media

1837
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:24,040
Speaker 4: and through television, et cetera. It goes over unity and

1838
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:26,439
Speaker 4: pulling our resources, our economics, and it goes over some

1839
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:32,040
Speaker 4: of the cities more than just Tosa, Oklahoma, more than

1840
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:34,560
Speaker 4: just rolls would, more than just central avenues here in

1841
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 4: La More. It goes over a lot of the different

1842
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:39,200
Speaker 4: cities that we owned, where we were thriving, we were flourishing,

1843
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 4: we have business cota. It goes over all of that.

1844
01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:44,280
Speaker 4: That's the last chapter, which is talking about pulling our resources,

1845
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:47,000
Speaker 4: establishing our own everything, et cetera. It goes over a

1846
01:23:47,080 --> 01:23:49,680
Speaker 4: lot of stuff, bro a lot of stuff that this

1847
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,519
Speaker 4: generation needs to know about that they can navigate through

1848
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:54,840
Speaker 4: this system. It's plain and simple. So I said, I

1849
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:56,800
Speaker 4: got to find a way to put it in a

1850
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:59,599
Speaker 4: physical form to get it out of here, because they're

1851
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:01,960
Speaker 4: going to sh shut us down. They're gonna censor us

1852
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:04,880
Speaker 4: at a certain point. Oh yeah, I know, So I know.

1853
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 4: That's the other thing I was looking. I was looking

1854
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 4: at the Congress who are trying to propose a bill

1855
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 4: to censor anyone talking about conspiracy, anyone talking about any

1856
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 4: type of conspiracy. Conspiracy is not a bad word. It

1857
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:18,880
Speaker 4: simply means when two or more groups of people organizations

1858
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:20,760
Speaker 4: are coming together to do something that is evil and

1859
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 4: or wicked. That's what conspiracy means. So that's not bad. Now,

1860
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:28,040
Speaker 4: conspiracy theory is different, but conspiracy is not a bad thing.

1861
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 4: So America's trying to cover herself by saying, we're gonna

1862
01:24:30,280 --> 01:24:32,320
Speaker 4: take done all the videos on YouTube, We're gonna take

1863
01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 4: down the videos on Facebook, Instagram, et cetera where it's

1864
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 4: talking about what we're actually doing, and we are going

1865
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 4: to censor, which is destroying the freedom of speech, which

1866
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 4: is in the First Amendment freedom of religion, speech, press, petition,

1867
01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:45,080
Speaker 4: and assembly. I said, if they do that to this generation,

1868
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 4: which is the social media generation, and we can't access

1869
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:51,240
Speaker 4: the truth entirely from those who are really bringing out

1870
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 4: the facts, then damn it, they're gonna have their their

1871
01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:58,599
Speaker 4: information completely sifted in control and they will be mentally manipulated.

1872
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 4: I said, I can't let that happen. To put those

1873
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:03,519
Speaker 4: things in the book, and it has now been called

1874
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:07,200
Speaker 4: the number one handbook for this generation. It's been selling

1875
01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 4: very well. It was my first product. I've been doing

1876
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:11,080
Speaker 4: this work in the community, in the streets never had

1877
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:15,000
Speaker 4: any products. I've never been about products. I've been about

1878
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:16,760
Speaker 4: doing the community work. But you know, once you start

1879
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 4: realizing bills got to get paid, you got to find

1880
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:20,040
Speaker 4: a way to you know, hey, this is what it is.

1881
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 3: This is your first book.

1882

Speaker 2: You published it yourself, Yes, sir, self published. I created

1883
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:27,760

01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:29,080

1888
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:43,760
Speaker 4: not giving the Derek Gray spoke to us about that.

1889
01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:46,680
Speaker 4: Like you said, hire your family and let them do it.

1890
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:49,519
Speaker 4: Like I said, my packages, my my product handlers, my

1891
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:52,240
Speaker 4: product managers, all of them. That's my family. They like

1892
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:55,560
Speaker 4: they are paid to do that a living wage. You

1893
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:57,080
Speaker 4: see what I'm saying, Like, we can do that. And

1894
01:25:57,240 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 4: so when you when you realize that you're buying this,

1895
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:02,720
Speaker 4: first of all the information that's in here, a lot

1896
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:05,559
Speaker 4: of people. Of course, I go over One major chapter

1897
01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:09,120
Speaker 4: is chapter six. It's depopulation. Okay, it goes with genetically

1898
01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:11,559
Speaker 4: modified organisms, it goes over vaccines, it goes a lot

1899
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:13,160
Speaker 4: of stuff like that. A lot of the information in

1900
01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:15,400
Speaker 4: this book is very heavy information that I broke down

1901
01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 4: and as easily understandable ways as possible. But I've had

1902
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:24,720
Speaker 4: certain scientists read this, certain celebrities read this, and they

1903
01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:29,080
Speaker 4: hit me and they're like, listen, that's some heavy stuff

1904
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:31,080
Speaker 4: in that book. Like that, that's some really heavy stuff,

1905
01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:32,559
Speaker 4: which is why I said, I'm not putting this on Amazon.

1906
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:35,240
Speaker 4: I'll be damned they banned my book off the money

1907
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 4: cut over everyth I'm like, nah, because now there are

1908
01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:39,680
Speaker 4: families that rely on this. So people realize that when

1909
01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:42,880
Speaker 4: they buy this book, you're getting knowledged, which is totally

1910
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:45,960
Speaker 4: invaluable and it's worth far more than what you purchase for.

1911
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:48,880
Speaker 4: But you're also supporting families too, Black families. You know

1912
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. That's what that's what y'all preach. That's

1913
01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:54,320
Speaker 4: what y'all teach. That's what we have to continue to understand.

1914
01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:56,960
Speaker 4: Is if there's something of value that is going to

1915
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 4: bring you solutions to help you in your condition, and

1916
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:01,960
Speaker 4: you're helping your people the same time, that's what it's about.

1917
01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:02,920
Speaker 4: You see what I'm saying.

1918
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:04,720
Speaker 3: So that's the win win right there, there's a win

1919
01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:06,519
Speaker 3: win bro Yes.

1920
01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:10,200
Speaker 4: Sir Resa Islam, it's been a pleasure rather been a pleasure.

1921
01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:11,400
Speaker 3: This is well worth the wait.

1922
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:16,479
Speaker 4: Man, Man, man, my apologies man, but it's I'm honored again.

1923
01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:19,640
Speaker 4: I love the interview, brothers. I love the fact that

1924
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:23,800
Speaker 4: you are educating our people about economics because from Marcus

1925
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:26,640
Speaker 4: Garvey down to Molijah Muhammad even all the way down

1926
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:29,760
Speaker 4: to our brother doctor Claude Anderson with power Nomics. You know,

1927
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:33,040
Speaker 4: we have to take this on and really stop being

1928
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:35,640
Speaker 4: the victim to everything that's going on. We can be

1929
01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:38,040
Speaker 4: the ones who create, we can establish, we can build,

1930
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:39,800
Speaker 4: we can do this like it's really not hard. We

1931
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:41,640
Speaker 4: can't actually do so. I appreciate you brothers doing what

1932
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:43,760
Speaker 4: you're doing because I've been watching your network and y'all

1933
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 4: be considered. I appreciate it, y'ad appreciate that.

1934
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:49,639
Speaker 2: Any any last words you want to leave the people,

1935
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:52,799
Speaker 2: how can they follow you on your social media, hands,

1936
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:53,880
Speaker 2: website and all that stuff.

1937
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,880
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, everything is under Resa Islam. Everything's on the

1938
01:27:56,920 --> 01:27:59,920
Speaker 4: Resa Islam until it gets shut down, hopefully not, and

1939
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:02,080
Speaker 4: if they try to shut it down, I'm going to

1940
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:04,599
Speaker 4: be on other independent apps as well, and I'm serious

1941
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 4: about that. But you know, it is what it is.

1942
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:09,800
Speaker 4: Continue to learn. Family. I just say that, continue to learn.

1943
01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 4: Don't be afraid pull your resources. Don't think that you

1944
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:14,919
Speaker 4: need to have a lot of money to be independent.

1945
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:16,840
Speaker 4: Don't think you need to continue to work for somebody.

1946
01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 4: When you can establish your own and do something for yourself.

1947
01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:22,160
Speaker 4: You can come together as a group, your family, your friends,

1948
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 4: the you know, like I said, whatever hood you're from,

1949
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:28,000
Speaker 4: and establish something, find the need, see the need of

1950
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:30,439
Speaker 4: the people, and provide a solution for it. It's real simple.

1951
01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:32,120
Speaker 4: That's why you see the young brothers selling water on

1952
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:35,839
Speaker 4: the corners. You see people selling food, candy masks. Now everybody,

1953
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:38,200
Speaker 4: you know, they'd.

1954
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:38,000
Speaker 3: Find a way.

1955
01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:41,200
Speaker 4: We won't find our economic kingpins, you know when we

1956
01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:44,080
Speaker 4: want to like to do it. So just see the

1957
01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:46,920
Speaker 4: need of the people and find a solution for it.

1958
01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:49,519
Speaker 4: And you can make money off of helping your people

1959
01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:52,479
Speaker 4: with something that they actually need. So don't think too

1960
01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:55,160
Speaker 4: much about it. Really look at five things that you

1961
01:28:55,240 --> 01:28:58,759
Speaker 4: can establish and bring your people together. Your family, your colleades, friends,
