<v Speaker 2>So first and foremost, thank you for joining us.

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 4>Appreciate it. Yes, again, like I said, it would have

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 4>been you know, sooner. But like you said, you know,

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 4>it all happens for a reason. I'm just thankful to

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 4>be here. Man. That's a fact. That's a fact. So

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:09.519
<v Speaker 4>let's let's let's kick it off. You know, it's interesting.

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Because our platform is based on you know, economics, finances,

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 2>business and a friend of mine shout out to Val

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 2>She's actually one of the people that inspired me to

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 2>get into social media, and she was she was like, Yo,

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you are aware of this, but

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 2>there's a whole movement on black Twitter about how black

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 2>capitalism is actually bad and it's not good. And she

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.359
<v Speaker 2>was like, I want I don't want your platform to

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 2>not get ahead of this curve, like at the very least,

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 2>y'all should address it. And I'm like, all right, you know,

0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.640
<v Speaker 2>we're open source platform. We don't really take opinions. We

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:42.679
<v Speaker 2>get people different and I'm like, you know, I thought

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 2>about it. I'm like, I personally might not subscribe to that,

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 2>but let me let me hear. Let me ask, so

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 2>are you familiar with that sentiment and what are your

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 2>thoughts on black capitalism?

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, I'll say this first of all, capitalism is capitalism.

0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 4>That's just, you know, plain and clear all the way

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 4>around the ward. But I'm not too familiar with it.

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.359
<v Speaker 4>I do know when it comes to capitalism and using

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 4>the leverage of society for economic gains, depending on what

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.799
<v Speaker 4>it is, products, business, et cetera, it has ups and downs.

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 4>I know that. I know capitalism has been used for

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 4>the majority in the negative way as it pertains to

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.919
<v Speaker 4>our people when it comes to what has been done

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 4>to our people on the part of major businesses and corporation.

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 4>So I know that. But then again, it can be used,

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 4>you know, in a good way, in a beneficial way,

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 4>but it depends upon how you do it, and it

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 4>has to be based on integrity and really caring for

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 4>the people more than money, you know what I'm saying. So,

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 4>I mean, that's I'll leave it at that. That's pretty

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 4>much all I can say on that.

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's why I feel I kind of feel like

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 2>it's everything in life is a balance. And you know,

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 2>we talk about capitalism, socialism. I think there's good and

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 2>bad parts of everything, but I mean we're in a

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 2>capitalistic society, whether we hate it.

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 4>And love it.

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 2>So I mean it's kind of like either participate or

0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 2>sit on the sideline, but the game is still going

0:03:59.280 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 2>to be played.

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 4>That's not how you use it, all right.

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Let me ask you this, because a lot of people,

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 2>I think speak about things that they might hear and

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 2>they don't really have a full understanding. Like me personally,

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 2>I never really like to talk about stuff that I

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.720
<v Speaker 2>don't have a full understanding of. A I don't want

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 2>to just embarrass myself and be. I don't want to

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 2>spread false information. But you actually you're you're a very

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 2>knowledgeable guy.

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 4>I can tell you read a lot.

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, So when we talk about these things as

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 2>far as the I m F and the international monetary

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 2>system and different banks and things of that nature, can

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 2>you give us a.

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 4>Se it's getting heated. Can you give.

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.159
<v Speaker 2>Us an education on what that because, like you said,

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 2>you see that a lot. I see that a lot

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 2>on social media and a lot of conspiracy theories. And

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm one of these people where I kind

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 2>of I hate conspiracy theories, but some of them are true.

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, It's like, it's just it is what it is.

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 2>So how does that affect the day to day, average

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 2>working class person who's not at the top of the mountain.

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.840
<v Speaker 2>As far as economics, I'll say this first of all

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 2>at this time, because we are in the age of information,

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 2>which is again, like you said, things have to be balanced.

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.480
<v Speaker 4>There's a good and there's a bad, extremely on both ends.

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 4>Now when it comes to this, because now people are

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.559
<v Speaker 4>literally living their lives based upon what they need. Fact,

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 4>they're gonna run outside, Okay, so COVID, All right, COVID

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 4>If I run outside, button naked. You're gonna have somebody

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:35.919
<v Speaker 4>doing this and this is real talk. This is all

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 4>dangerous thing. So you got to be careful everybody with

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 4>what you post. First of all. Secondly, there are conspiracy

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 4>documentarians Okay, that's a shout out to doctor West Mohaman,

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 4>people who actually have the documented evidence to back up

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:55.239
<v Speaker 4>what they're talking about. I'm more so on that area, okay,

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 4>where we were with the conspiracy documents, where with the

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 4>realist when it comes to what's really going on. But

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 4>we stick away from all the conspiracy theories. I can

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:05.840
<v Speaker 4>sift through them. Trust me when I say there are

0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 4>so many, there's there's there's so many you want to

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 4>never get out of.

0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:13.480
<v Speaker 3>It's crazy.

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.159
<v Speaker 4>It's crazy. So be careful with.

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:20.359
<v Speaker 3>Which I'm only saying it because we encountered one like

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 3>a couple of weeks ago and it was just like, Yo,

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.479
<v Speaker 3>where where did you get this from? And I was like,

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 3>all right, now we'll talk. I put it this way.

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 4>Conspiracy theorists pretty much, if they can cause controversy, can

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:38.800
<v Speaker 4>grab attention, they will. These are people who want to

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 4>see they were the truth secrets for the majority. Some

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 4>of them can go extremely overboard, wearing aluminum caps all day,

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, looking at you like, you know, are you

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.799
<v Speaker 4>a human, You're a reptilian? You know what, you're clone

0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 4>your clones. So and when you go into that realm,

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.360
<v Speaker 4>it really doesn't matter what color you are, black, white, whatever.

0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 4>People are just really in that realm. So I'll say,

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 4>be very careful of who you're listening to, and if

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 4>you are a person with a large platform, be careful

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 4>about fact check. Fact check at least five times. You

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 4>want to cross reference and cross reference and cross reference

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 4>and cross reference. And now that that's another thing. When

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 4>it comes to facts, you gotta make sure you cross

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 4>reference things because sometimes things can sound really believable, bro,

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.239
<v Speaker 4>and depending on who says it, it can sound very convincing.

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.000
<v Speaker 4>We're charismatic and I saw it yesterday. I saw it.

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 4>You know it's like, okay, I gotta believe them. It's

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.360
<v Speaker 4>like no, no, no, no, no. Check it for yourself,

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 4>because if you have influence over people, you will literally

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 4>control their lives. And if they go out and do

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 4>something they hurt themselves, that's on your hands. I mean, really,

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 4>we gotta be responsible. So just be careful with the

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 4>conspiracy theories, but check things. You know, don't be what

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 4>mens far Khan calls a lazy learner. Don't be a

0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 4>surface learn If you really want to learn about that,

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 4>you want to post it, okay, go go take an

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 4>extra twenty thirty minutes and really fact check it. If

0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 4>you're gonna post it, don't just post it to get

0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 4>some damn views and likes. See all, we got to

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 4>stop being holes for likes. Yeah, not being holes for likes.

<v Speaker 4>We've heard worse, be heard worse. It's real. Got we

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 4>gotta really pull away from that because that's really what

0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:11.080
<v Speaker 4>it is today.

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:11.240

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.400

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 4>million followers, But be careful. I've seen some stuff from

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.079
<v Speaker 4>certain artists and celebrities and I was like, what the

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.480
<v Speaker 4>hell did you just post? And I'll be like, if

0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.439
<v Speaker 4>I can get in touch with them, I will know,

0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.080
<v Speaker 4>because that's what you're supposed to be. Just publicly, Basha.

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 4>That's another thing. Oh y'all saw this, crazy niggas.

0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 3>When they call you on the private line, you can.

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 4>Reach out to them personally because they may not know.

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot of celebrities, brother, who come to me

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 4>for consulting about things because they really didn't know. And

0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.079
<v Speaker 4>I tell them, no, no, no, that's that's not that's

0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 4>not true. Let me seeing you the facts on that,

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:02.599
<v Speaker 4>and then they see it they're like, oh, man, I

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.439
<v Speaker 4>was about to make a big mistake on that one,

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 4>you know. So we have to we have to have

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 4>enough love for one another to make sure we put

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 4>out what is proper, what's right, what's factual, and with

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.199
<v Speaker 4>solutions preferably if you can. If there's another problem, you're

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.360
<v Speaker 4>gonna post post it with a solution if you can.

0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 4>Because that's another thing everybody right now, we know all

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 4>the damn problems in the world. Bro, It's so many

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.319
<v Speaker 4>negative things going on, but we need some positive to

0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.320
<v Speaker 4>go with it, like you said, to keep that balance.

0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 4>So the IMF, what's to deal with that International Monetary Fund? Okay,

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.720
<v Speaker 4>so here we go, y'all. Some of y'all know about

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 4>this no manterary of fund you're talking about the organization

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 4>that funds countries. They give loans out to countries and

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 4>they basically enslave countries. This is pretty much what they do.

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:43.679
<v Speaker 4>So they say, listen, uh, you know, it's kind of

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.960
<v Speaker 4>like a it's like a rich pimp organization. I'm going

0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:49.880
<v Speaker 4>to say it like that. It's not slanger damn, it's

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.319
<v Speaker 4>what it is. So they go in loan money and

0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 4>they say, this is your lump sum here, pay it

0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.079
<v Speaker 4>back and increments of this amount, you know, every year,

0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 4>every month or whatever, and this is what you can

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 4>use for whatever, you know, building your economy, building this

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 4>your businesses et cetera, to stimulate it whatever. And that's

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 4>what they do. The issue is when they put a

0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 4>high level of interest on these things that is impossible

0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 4>for these countries to pay back. Now as a part

0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 4>of the agreements, that they default or if they break

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.960
<v Speaker 4>the agreement, then there are other options that kick in. Okay, well,

0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 4>we can take control of your ports, we can take

0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 4>control of your airports, we can take control of this

0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:30.959
<v Speaker 4>or that if you default on the loan. You see

0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 4>what I'm saying. This is this is the criminal stuff

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.439
<v Speaker 4>that they do, and they've done it to countries or

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 4>all throughout Africa and all throughout the world. They know

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.679
<v Speaker 4>what they're doing, you know, them, along with the other

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.679
<v Speaker 4>banks and national banks and who loan money at high

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.760
<v Speaker 4>interests to control foreign nations and foreign leaders, to get

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 4>them under the control and under the umbrella of those

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.559
<v Speaker 4>who they control. So then you'll see other countries and

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.439
<v Speaker 4>nations doing some craziest hell stuff to their citizens and

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.679
<v Speaker 4>to their people in order. But it's like it's not them.

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.839
<v Speaker 4>They're being controlled and now the people who owned them

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.679
<v Speaker 4>are now writing their policies. Do you understand I'm saying,

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 4>that's the power behind economics. You gotta understand what's going on.

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.720
<v Speaker 4>And you'd have to be like Fidel Castro in Cuba.

0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 4>You have to stand on integrity and say I'd rather

0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 4>not take nothing from you and stand on integrity for

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 4>my people. He was willing to do that, and of

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.960
<v Speaker 4>course America put sanctions on them, wouldn't allow the countries

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 4>to help them. They're still recycling cars from the sixties and.

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 3>The seventies broke fact, they're still doing that.

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 4>They're like, hold on, don't throw that away. What you doing?

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:28.839
<v Speaker 4>We could put that here, don't don't you know, it's

0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:32.319
<v Speaker 4>a serious thing because they have that much integrity. We

0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 4>will not be pimped. We will not be enslaved, you know,

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 4>for a foreign nation that does not have our interest,

0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.679
<v Speaker 4>our best interest. So you know, that's that's really what

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 4>the IMF does and what it is. Has it done

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 4>some good. I'm sure it has done some good. The

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.720
<v Speaker 4>issues that we have people at that level. It's usually

0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 4>backed by special interest groups who have a wicked intent

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.199
<v Speaker 4>and they have demonstrated that in what they do to

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 4>our countries.

0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:57.679
<v Speaker 3>It's a lot.

0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:01.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, now in a nutshell much. Make sure you study more.

0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:02.559
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot more information to learn about it.

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.960
<v Speaker 2>But definitely, and it sounds I'm interested to get your

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 2>take on what you said. A lot sounds like what

0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 2>China is currently doing all over the world. And it's

0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.719
<v Speaker 2>interesting because we've all we spoke about China, especially like

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.079
<v Speaker 2>what they're doing in Africa and the Caribbean. But we

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.600
<v Speaker 2>spoke to an entrepreneur in Nigeria, like he's actually lives

0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:19.439
<v Speaker 2>in Nigeria, and I asked him, like, you know, what's

0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 2>your thoughts on it. He's like, honestly, you know, China's

0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:27.319
<v Speaker 2>doing what's in the best interest of China. But it's

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.040
<v Speaker 2>business at the end of the day. It's not like

0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.160
<v Speaker 2>nobody's coming and putting a gun to anybody's head and

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:33.880
<v Speaker 2>making them do this and things of that nature. So

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.679
<v Speaker 2>they was like, you know, we have to you know,

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 2>kind of have some accountability leadership and the public and

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 2>things that nature. So how do you feel about it,

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 2>because that's another hot topic as far as China.

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm glad you said that. As it pertains to what

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.679
<v Speaker 4>the brother who lives Nigeria said, because a lot of

0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:52.920
<v Speaker 4>the leaders have been bought out, it's nothing that people

0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.719
<v Speaker 4>really got to understand when they say, well, China, China, China.

0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.199
<v Speaker 4>It's like hold on. First of all, many of the

0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 4>African leaders have been bought out. They have literally taken

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.199
<v Speaker 4>the money from China, just like they took money from America,

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.960
<v Speaker 4>just like they took money from other nations Europe, et cetera,

0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.199
<v Speaker 4>to allow them to come in and do whatever it

0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 4>is they want to do with the different agreements, whatever

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 4>those agreements may be. The issue is that many people

0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:17.839
<v Speaker 4>in Africa, and I meet with a lot of them.

0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 4>I've been awarded by a number of African organizations, international

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.680
<v Speaker 4>organizations for my humanitarian work or my activism. They tell

0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 4>me to my face, they say, brother, brother, brother, you

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.319
<v Speaker 4>need to understand that a lot of our leaders have

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:35.240
<v Speaker 4>sold out. They have and they hate it. Brother. They're like,

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.599
<v Speaker 4>we do our best to stand as a people, to

0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.319
<v Speaker 4>stand as you know, I'm Zimbabwean or I'm Gyananian or

0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm Nigerian. But then some of them are just like, well,

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.160
<v Speaker 4>this is a new world. It's a new time. You know,

0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:47.480
<v Speaker 4>it's a new time. You know, if they want to

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.079
<v Speaker 4>come in and give us money, fine, they don't look

0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 4>at the fact that you can pull your resources together.

0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.719
<v Speaker 4>You live, you have the wealth under your feet. You

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 4>see what I'm saying. You can access that and you

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 4>can use it independently to work with your other African

0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 4>brothers in African nations. But again, because you have a

0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:04.960
<v Speaker 4>outside foreign power that has come in and has divided

0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.680
<v Speaker 4>you from one another, has come in usurp your power,

0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:11.600
<v Speaker 4>killed your leaders, put in CIA agents in the place

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.040
<v Speaker 4>of certain leaders. This is America's foreign policy. Because that

0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.839
<v Speaker 4>also has a lot to do with economics. You definitely

0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 4>want to look at that. You have to read a

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.720
<v Speaker 4>book by the name of the Confessions of an Economic

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 4>hit Man, where they talk about how they set up

0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:28.200
<v Speaker 4>coops to get rid of Oh yeah, they do that.

0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:32.480
<v Speaker 4>Did it with Libya, They did it with Iraq, they

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:34.560
<v Speaker 4>did any nation that does not agree with the foreign

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.360
<v Speaker 4>policies to allow them to have access to the wealthy.

0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:42.560
<v Speaker 4>Colonel Kadafi, Oh yeah, Colonel Momafi. Can you talk about that, sir? No,

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:48.080
<v Speaker 4>that's sorry. See whatever you need, brother, I'm just saying

0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.440
<v Speaker 4>you're ready for it. I'll say it again this way.

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 4>The African leaders who have not sold out, we thank you,

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 4>stan strong brothers, because I know a lot of you

0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.000
<v Speaker 4>who follow my network and this network and other networks.

0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.920
<v Speaker 4>You're watching, you listening. You have to maintain integrity and

0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:05.520
<v Speaker 4>as far as con said, stand strong. Stand strong. If

0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 4>you must die on that, then you must down that.

0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 4>But stand strong for the people, for Africa, for the nation,

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 4>for us as a diaspora to not sell out to

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 4>this enemy, because they do not have our best interests

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 4>at hand. They don't. They don't care about us. That's

0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.400
<v Speaker 4>the point. China has their own interests. Like you said,

0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.280
<v Speaker 4>it's China, and that's business. You agree to it. It's business,

0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 4>So I can't argue with that. However, a lot of

0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:28.360
<v Speaker 4>nations in Africa. Now, a lot of countries are now

0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 4>the rethinking that. Now they're trying to come out of deals. Now,

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.000
<v Speaker 4>they're trying to figure out a way to get around it. Like, okay,

0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:36.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, we didn't read this section of this part

0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:39.120
<v Speaker 4>of this subsectionments like a record contract.

0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:41.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, man, you know them three sixty d they

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:43.800
<v Speaker 3>got for the country.

0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 4>Lawyer. Two years later you're like, no, did you know

0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:48.000
<v Speaker 4>about that?

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:49.520
<v Speaker 3>My country back.

0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 4>Got me. I didn't know that. Bringing that that independent

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 4>what it's called audit those auditors. So that's what's happening now.

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.720
<v Speaker 4>But again, if we stand strong, if you make the

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 4>agreements with China, you're going to have to go along

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 4>with the agreement or find a way to get out

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:06.440
<v Speaker 4>of it. But we have to stand strong as the people.

0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:07.840
<v Speaker 4>At the end of the day, we must do for

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.720
<v Speaker 4>self or some of the consequences. We have the power,

0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:14.240
<v Speaker 4>we have the wealth. We just need the unity. That's

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.600
<v Speaker 4>all we need. Okay. So that's all I really got

0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 4>to say on that, because at the end of the day,

0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.120
<v Speaker 4>a lot of those countries really did get involved willingly,

0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:24.800
<v Speaker 4>and that's the issue. And I'm not saying I'm not

0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.960
<v Speaker 4>saying anything negative about China because it's business. And I

0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.680
<v Speaker 4>will never say China is worse than America. So let's

0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 4>never get that twists people like China China. I stop it.

0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:35.760
<v Speaker 4>We're still done with stuff America right now, from Breonna

0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:37.720
<v Speaker 4>Taylor all the way down as being murdered. China ain't

0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 4>out here killing black folk. Okay, all right, so let's

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.600
<v Speaker 4>just make that clear. But in everybody else when it

0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 4>comes to that type of situation. But Libya, now, are

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:50.440
<v Speaker 4>you sure you want to go into that just I

0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 4>mean it is economics, brother, there was. I mean he

0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:54.840
<v Speaker 4>did a beautiful job, you know, Colonel will Margadafi may

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 4>I lobby. Please. First of all, I don't listen to

0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:02.400
<v Speaker 4>Western media about foreign leaders. That's the first thing. I

0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:05.080
<v Speaker 4>don't listen to what America has to say about a

0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 4>Libyan leader, America has to say about a Mexican leader,

0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:12.119
<v Speaker 4>Hawaiian leader, Chinese, because again, America has their own interests,

0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.040
<v Speaker 4>just like China has their own. Everyone has their own,

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.760
<v Speaker 4>So I'd rather listen to their media because they do

0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:21.080
<v Speaker 4>have media. Some of y'all don't know Africa has buildings.

0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:29.320
<v Speaker 4>They're still living in huts, brother Hudson, stop showing them

0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:30.879
<v Speaker 4>commercials with the little children with the stomach, so I

0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:36.399
<v Speaker 4>would flies on them. Dollar bro the technology. I mean,

0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.400
<v Speaker 4>come on. So I had to say that because people

0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:42.680
<v Speaker 4>really be tripped. But in Libya under Colonel Mulmakadafi, it

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:48.200
<v Speaker 4>was free. Wow, that's the old song there is. There

0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:52.119
<v Speaker 4>was free health care, there was free education. When you

0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:54.640
<v Speaker 4>got married, he would give the family anywhere between five

0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.560
<v Speaker 4>to twenty five thousand dollars for getting married. If you

0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.280
<v Speaker 4>wanted to till land and grow your own food, would

0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:02.600
<v Speaker 4>give you a tractor, give you seeds and give you

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:04.399
<v Speaker 4>a certain plot of land for you to grow your

0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:06.879
<v Speaker 4>own food. If you wanted to go to school in

0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 4>a foreign nation or to another country, go abroad, Libya

0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.400
<v Speaker 4>would sponsor that. They would pay for your room on board,

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 4>they would pay for the tuition, and whatever country you

0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 4>went to. All of these things America ain't knowing as

0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:25.560
<v Speaker 4>a country, as a country free, free, and I'm not

0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:31.560
<v Speaker 4>saying that free, horrible free, good healthcare. Before Colonel moulmagadav

0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:33.200
<v Speaker 4>he took over the leadership of Libya, it was the

0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:37.000
<v Speaker 4>poorest country. After he took over the leadership and started

0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.080
<v Speaker 4>to work on it, it became the most wealthy country

0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:43.119
<v Speaker 4>in Africa had zero debt. It owed no one the

0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.480
<v Speaker 4>I m F. He didn't know any other foreign countries,

0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.720
<v Speaker 4>European countries. No, they were free of debt, debt free.

0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.920
<v Speaker 4>See that right there. That lets me know. Ah, no

0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:54.680
<v Speaker 4>one A they attacked him, called him a dictator. You know,

0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:56.280
<v Speaker 4>so he's a horrible this is and horrible that. But

0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.720
<v Speaker 4>wait a minute, he's doing for his people what America

0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.399
<v Speaker 4>claims she's doing for her. You're not doing any of this.

0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:03.640
<v Speaker 4>You're not even doing a thirtieth of what they're doing.

0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.399
<v Speaker 4>So it's like, how can you be so hypocritical to

0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:07.920
<v Speaker 4>even try to open your mouth and talk about a

0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:10.480
<v Speaker 4>leader over there who's actually giving his people these different

0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:12.760
<v Speaker 4>things that you say you're giving yours. Not that's not

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:15.360
<v Speaker 4>how it goes. So he built it into an economic

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:17.840
<v Speaker 4>power that was independent, and he was gonna come together

0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:21.399
<v Speaker 4>with the other over fifty three countries in Africa to

0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 4>create a joint currency African Union and African Union, which

0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:28.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean, bro, when you're talking about money and economics,

0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:30.320
<v Speaker 4>that is the most powerful move that could have ever

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:32.560
<v Speaker 4>been done on the planet. Because then he would have

0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:35.800
<v Speaker 4>removed they would bankrupt the European pound, they would bankrupt

0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:37.760
<v Speaker 4>the American dollar, they will bankrupt the Chinese you n

0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.720
<v Speaker 4>they bankrupt every other former currency because you are backing

0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:44.160
<v Speaker 4>your wealth based off of the mineral resources underneath your feet.

0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.800
<v Speaker 4>And Africa got all of them. Everybody gonna bow down

0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:50.639
<v Speaker 4>to the African currency. And it was like, hell no,

0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:52.680
<v Speaker 4>we're not gonna do that. Hell no, we're not gonna

0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:54.440
<v Speaker 4>do that. We are not gonna have no niggas on

0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:56.879
<v Speaker 4>no paper. And you go, I'm gonna have to use that.

0:19:57.119 --> 0:19:59.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm just being real, Okay, we're not We're not gonna

0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.080
<v Speaker 4>have that, you know. And again because a lot of

0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:04.000
<v Speaker 4>people know about this, but a lot of people didn't,

0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:06.480
<v Speaker 4>and that we don't understand that when it comes to

0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:10.680
<v Speaker 4>economics and money, color becomes less important. At the top.

0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:13.480
<v Speaker 4>There's some black people who's helping to push evil, there's

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:15.880
<v Speaker 4>some Arabs doing it, there's some Chinese, there's some white.

0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.040
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot of people at the top, and that

0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:20.520
<v Speaker 4>color line becomes less important. It becomes power.

0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Now in a different language than you said the same message, appreciate,

0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:32.199
<v Speaker 2>He said the same thing, exact thing.

0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:36.200
<v Speaker 4>Power only respects power. So if I got a billion

0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:37.880
<v Speaker 4>and you got a billion, we can sit at the table.

0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:40.480
<v Speaker 4>But if I'm black and you white, okay, well it's like, okay,

0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.480
<v Speaker 4>well we want to buy this right about your color?

0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:45.320
<v Speaker 4>Right now? Even if I did, it don't matter.

0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:47.600
<v Speaker 3>Were talking about money, talking about some money, exactly know

0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:49.919
<v Speaker 3>what I'm saying. This was a history lesson, So speaking

0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:52.320
<v Speaker 3>of economics, because I suppose you prior to this, but

0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:55.600
<v Speaker 3>can we talk about the internal banking families of Europe?

0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Can we give a history of that? And so that

0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:00.440
<v Speaker 3>when when I talked about the young gentlemen who came,

0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.000
<v Speaker 3>he was speaking about some some theories they came up,

0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:04.600
<v Speaker 3>and I was just like, that's interesting because I've never

0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:06.960
<v Speaker 3>heard him talk like that before. And maybe you know,

0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:09.840
<v Speaker 3>he doesn't have all the knowledge, So can you enlighten

0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:10.240
<v Speaker 3>us all?

0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:12.160
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, yeah, I'll give a little bit here. First

0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:14.440
<v Speaker 4>of all, people try to argue and say that it

0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:17.440
<v Speaker 4>is a conspiracy theory when you are talking about David Rockefeller,

0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:21.359
<v Speaker 4>when you're talking about the Federal Reserve Act of nineteen thirteen.

0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:24.879
<v Speaker 4>This is actual fact. There's nothing, there's no theoretical anything

0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:27.199
<v Speaker 4>behind it. They met off the coast of Jecky Island

0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:30.120
<v Speaker 4>of Georgia. They met off the coast on a small island.

0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:33.680
<v Speaker 4>You're talking about David Rockefeller and some other individuals to

0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:36.000
<v Speaker 4>come up with a way where they could take control

0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:38.879
<v Speaker 4>over the monetary policies of America. The Federal Reserve has

0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:41.359
<v Speaker 4>nothing to do with the United States Constitution. It states

0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:44.320
<v Speaker 4>in the United States Constitution that Congress shall hold the

0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:47.240
<v Speaker 4>right to print the money, and so forth and so on.

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:50.040
<v Speaker 4>But who is the Federal Reserve. They have nothing to

0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:52.640
<v Speaker 4>do with America. They are a gangster group, a third

0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 4>party who came in and they took over these banking

0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:59.280
<v Speaker 4>systems from Europe, and then they gradually moved into the

0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:01.320
<v Speaker 4>rest of the planet. By the time they got to America,

0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:04.240
<v Speaker 4>that's when nineteen thirteen came along with the passing of

0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:07.760
<v Speaker 4>the Federal Reserve Act. And once that happened, all of

0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:11.160
<v Speaker 4>the power to print money, coin, money, etc. Turned over

0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:14.920
<v Speaker 4>into the Federal Reserve, and no longer Congress. It used

0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:18.359
<v Speaker 4>to say a silver certificate at the top of the dollar.

0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:21.479
<v Speaker 4>It said silver certificate, meaning oh, this is back by

0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:25.480
<v Speaker 4>silver okay, or it was back by goal okay. But

0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:29.960
<v Speaker 4>then it switched to Federal Reserve. Note what the hell

0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:33.000
<v Speaker 4>does that mean? And now the money system is not

0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:35.200
<v Speaker 4>under the people, it's not under Congress, it's not under

0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:38.440
<v Speaker 4>our control per se. It's under the control of a

0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:42.520
<v Speaker 4>third party gangster group organization that uses it to control

0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:46.200
<v Speaker 4>and enslave the planet. That's what that is about. Hence

0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:49.159
<v Speaker 4>why the economy is so high. They use war to

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:52.440
<v Speaker 4>make money. But if they use the war to make money,

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:55.280
<v Speaker 4>then the dollar goes further into debt, therefore having less

0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:59.560
<v Speaker 4>worth higher inflation. So what a dollar's worth today ain't nothing.

0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:03.000
<v Speaker 4>It's nothing compared to what it was back then. Yeah,

0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:06.040
<v Speaker 4>you know America currently on Wall Street they're saying it's

0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:07.879
<v Speaker 4>a little over twenty two to twenty three trillion dollars

0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:10.440
<v Speaker 4>in debt. Well, no, that's not true. They're not adding

0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:13.359
<v Speaker 4>in medicaid, medical all those things that illus that they

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:15.840
<v Speaker 4>have for all these other nations. America's over seventy trillion

0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:18.359
<v Speaker 4>dollars in debt and it's growing every day. They're printing

0:23:18.480 --> 0:23:21.480
<v Speaker 4>millions every day, which means you print more, the money

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:23.720
<v Speaker 4>becomes less and less and less and less and less valuable.

0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:26.880
<v Speaker 4>That's why. Also people need to start looking at gold.

0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:29.480
<v Speaker 4>Hence whid gold is so high right now? Yeah, this week,

0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:31.000
<v Speaker 4>you know what I'm saying all the time, my silver

0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:32.879
<v Speaker 4>is going up, even though some people say that I

0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:35.920
<v Speaker 4>don't buy silver, But the pre nineteen thirty three silver

0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:39.679
<v Speaker 4>coins in particular, you should be buying because those are

0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:41.720
<v Speaker 4>worth about I think it costs about twenty three twenty

0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:43.720
<v Speaker 4>five dollars per coin. So you want to get some

0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:47.040
<v Speaker 4>of those. Why because the dollar brother is about to

0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:50.240
<v Speaker 4>become completely obsolete. It's about to get to a point

0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:52.760
<v Speaker 4>like it got over in Europe where they were having

0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:55.040
<v Speaker 4>positive in the middle of the street. You know, it

0:23:55.200 --> 0:23:58.200
<v Speaker 4>was burning, you know, smoking cigars, likely with the money.

0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:01.119
<v Speaker 4>I know some of y'all like, man ain't going happened. Listen, bro,

0:24:02.680 --> 0:24:06.600
<v Speaker 4>They're talking about this economic gap because of the pandemic.

0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:09.520
<v Speaker 4>Nearly forty million people weren employed just a couple months

0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:12.400
<v Speaker 4>ago in America. So you're gonna give a stimulus check

0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:15.760
<v Speaker 4>to forty million people. You're not gonna give ten dollars

0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:17.720
<v Speaker 4>to forty million people, you see what I'm saying. So

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:22.520
<v Speaker 4>you're giving millions, billions trillions that you don't have to

0:24:22.680 --> 0:24:24.359
<v Speaker 4>people who are not working, and then you shut it

0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:27.160
<v Speaker 4>down again, which is why you know Trump and everyone

0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:29.240
<v Speaker 4>else wanted to open it up they're like, listen it,

0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:31.720
<v Speaker 4>it don't matter if people get sick. Either we going

0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:34.840
<v Speaker 4>down hereonomically or were going down physically and health wise.

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:37.439
<v Speaker 4>We gotta choose one. So they'd rather open up the economy,

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:39.640
<v Speaker 4>let some people get sick and die, but to allow

0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:42.359
<v Speaker 4>us the economy to thrive and survive, because it is

0:24:42.520 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 4>upside down, you know what I'm saying, that's what it is.

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:48.240
<v Speaker 4>So but it all started again with the national banking

0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:52.240
<v Speaker 4>families of Europe and then of course pushing for war

0:24:52.480 --> 0:24:55.160
<v Speaker 4>to make more money, sending people to die. More war,

0:24:55.480 --> 0:24:58.399
<v Speaker 4>more money, more interest, et cetera, et cetera, And that

0:24:58.520 --> 0:25:00.520
<v Speaker 4>is what it has been since nine thirteen.

0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's interesting because a lot of people might not realize,

0:25:04.040 --> 0:25:06.879
<v Speaker 2>like you said that the Federal Reserve Bank is not

0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:09.680
<v Speaker 2>it's not it's not a government agency. It's just fed

0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:14.920
<v Speaker 2>It's like it's like it's like FedEx, like like you

0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:17.720
<v Speaker 2>would just automatically think it's it's federal and they print

0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:20.960
<v Speaker 2>money and they so just by default you would think, okay,

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:23.560
<v Speaker 2>it's part of it's part of the government, but it's

0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:25.560
<v Speaker 2>actually not part of the government at all at all.

0:25:25.960 --> 0:25:29.200
<v Speaker 4>And it's interesting, not at all. Anybody who's dealing with economics.

0:25:29.240 --> 0:25:30.680
<v Speaker 4>I mean, this is this is the show. Y'all watch

0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:32.439
<v Speaker 4>you know, y'all watch these brothers. They give you a game.

0:25:32.480 --> 0:25:34.280
<v Speaker 4>They give you as much game as possible. That was

0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:37.040
<v Speaker 4>possibly some of the most important game they could give

0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:40.679
<v Speaker 4>you is to understand the difference between the Federal Reserve

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:44.560
<v Speaker 4>and the government when it comes to money, the monetary system.

0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:47.520
<v Speaker 4>That's why bigcoin is so important. Some people talk about

0:25:47.520 --> 0:25:50.280
<v Speaker 4>that always that the economists in America will say, all

0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:53.320
<v Speaker 4>consocrat because it's not controlled. It's a universal currency. You

0:25:53.400 --> 0:25:56.159
<v Speaker 4>can't control it. You can transfer anywhere. They're like, uh no,

0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:58.040
<v Speaker 4>it's bad because we want you to stick with the

0:25:58.080 --> 0:26:02.639
<v Speaker 4>American dollar. That's gone. That's done for it. Okay, so

0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 4>now you have to look at other forms of currency

0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:08.280
<v Speaker 4>and be very wise about looking at other currency, investing

0:26:08.320 --> 0:26:11.760
<v Speaker 4>in other currency, and moving your money around. Really, I

0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:14.000
<v Speaker 4>gotta start pulling your stuff out of the bank and

0:26:14.040 --> 0:26:15.600
<v Speaker 4>the minute I ain't trying to go against what y'all

0:26:15.640 --> 0:26:17.639
<v Speaker 4>don't know. Just say you thought you got on that,

0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:19.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, you let me know, but be very mindful.

0:26:19.720 --> 0:26:22.320
<v Speaker 4>Just understand that, you know, don't put all of your

0:26:22.320 --> 0:26:24.800
<v Speaker 4>money in one location that is controlled by the Federal

0:26:24.800 --> 0:26:26.280
<v Speaker 4>Reserve or any of its bank you know, you know what,

0:26:26.640 --> 0:26:27.080
<v Speaker 4>you know what A.

0:26:27.920 --> 0:26:29.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if people notice, but there's a shortage

0:26:29.840 --> 0:26:35.440
<v Speaker 2>of coins. Yeah, that's interesting. And b Yeah the bank

0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:38.280
<v Speaker 2>thing is interesting because it's like, all right, what's the

0:26:38.359 --> 0:26:40.560
<v Speaker 2>odds of bank having not enough money? Until they don't

0:26:40.560 --> 0:26:45.000
<v Speaker 2>have enough money? Because it's good in Greece. In Greece

0:26:45.000 --> 0:26:47.600
<v Speaker 2>a few years ago they shut the banks down. They

0:26:47.720 --> 0:26:49.880
<v Speaker 2>made a stop on ATM run because people was trying

0:26:49.880 --> 0:26:53.880
<v Speaker 2>to So it's like theoretically, like if you have ten

0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:56.479
<v Speaker 2>million dollars, the bank doesn't have ten million. That's why

0:26:56.520 --> 0:26:58.640
<v Speaker 2>they only ensure two hundred and fifty thousand. So if

0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:04.520
<v Speaker 2>you go, we dropped that, you literally yeah, you literally can't. Yeah,

0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:06.880
<v Speaker 2>it's the FDI c ensured, so you could literally only

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:08.479
<v Speaker 2>take up to a certain amount. And then they got

0:27:08.560 --> 0:27:12.560
<v Speaker 2>to like actually order others because there's there's regional banks

0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:15.280
<v Speaker 2>for the Federal Reserve like this, the Federal Reserve regional

0:27:15.280 --> 0:27:17.920
<v Speaker 2>banks like Saint Louis, New York, LA. Like there's different regions,

0:27:17.920 --> 0:27:20.680
<v Speaker 2>so they have to order the money. And then this

0:27:20.840 --> 0:27:23.400
<v Speaker 2>is kind of a more involved conversation, but that kind

0:27:23.440 --> 0:27:26.000
<v Speaker 2>of goes with the interest rates, right, because they charged

0:27:26.160 --> 0:27:30.000
<v Speaker 2>the regular retail banks money to actually bother so when

0:27:30.000 --> 0:27:32.120
<v Speaker 2>they lower their interest rates, when they raise the interest rates,

0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:33.280
<v Speaker 2>it all comes into play.

0:27:33.119 --> 0:27:34.480
<v Speaker 4>And making money off your money, right.

0:27:34.640 --> 0:27:36.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's one of the things that was I mean

0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:38.719
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people said that to us, and hopefully

0:27:38.760 --> 0:27:40.960
<v Speaker 3>people get the message. But like money is a tool

0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:43.800
<v Speaker 3>to get assets, having it sitting in the bank does

0:27:43.920 --> 0:27:45.639
<v Speaker 3>mean anything. I know, Like Fernando had told us that

0:27:45.680 --> 0:27:47.280
<v Speaker 3>and it stuck with my mind when you just said that,

0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 3>it was like, Yo, every dollar is a worker to me,

0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:51.640
<v Speaker 3>So I gotta put that on that work.

0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:53.720
<v Speaker 4>To put it to work and let it make money

0:27:53.800 --> 0:27:54.040
<v Speaker 4>for you.

0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:54.399
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:27:54.480 --> 0:27:57.080
<v Speaker 4>That's that's where the investments and the assets come in.

0:27:57.280 --> 0:27:59.680
<v Speaker 4>Own something that builds and it's in its value and

0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:02.240
<v Speaker 4>create and it's worth. That's what we have to look at. Again,

0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:04.320
<v Speaker 4>most of the people in the hood y're like, look,

0:28:04.359 --> 0:28:10.960
<v Speaker 4>I got forty dollars, bro for the next week. Fact,

0:28:11.040 --> 0:28:13.040
<v Speaker 4>what can I do with this? That's why we have

0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:15.679
<v Speaker 4>to now pull our resources. We don't have a choice, bro.

0:28:15.800 --> 0:28:18.600
<v Speaker 4>We have to practice group economics. There is no choice here,

0:28:19.080 --> 0:28:20.640
<v Speaker 4>There's none. Most of the people in the hood don't

0:28:20.680 --> 0:28:22.520
<v Speaker 4>have two hundred dollars to stay family. And I know

0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:25.080
<v Speaker 4>it may sound crazy for some people, it's like no, no, no, seriously,

0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:27.359
<v Speaker 4>even the money that we do have, we're spending it

0:28:27.440 --> 0:28:30.640
<v Speaker 4>in the wrong direction. But we have to now look at, Okay,

0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:33.639
<v Speaker 4>what can we afford to put in the pot? Depending

0:28:33.680 --> 0:28:35.560
<v Speaker 4>on what block we're on, depending on what hood we

0:28:35.680 --> 0:28:37.680
<v Speaker 4>from the hoods, y'all gotta come together and start putting

0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:40.560
<v Speaker 4>money in the pot. Whatever crib blood, hood essays, whatever,

0:28:40.720 --> 0:28:43.720
<v Speaker 4>and start putting your dollars together so everyone can work

0:28:43.720 --> 0:28:45.080
<v Speaker 4>a little and no one have to work a lot,

0:28:45.120 --> 0:28:46.480
<v Speaker 4>and then you can start buying up things. You know,

0:28:46.560 --> 0:28:47.000
<v Speaker 4>it's crazy.

0:28:47.440 --> 0:28:49.480
<v Speaker 2>I feel like we're the only people that have to

0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:51.960
<v Speaker 2>be convinced about cooker economics because everything else. Because like

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:53.800
<v Speaker 2>I went to this Indian wedding a friend of mine

0:28:53.920 --> 0:28:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Indian is my first comcod in Indian wedding. So it's

0:28:55.920 --> 0:28:57.720
<v Speaker 2>a whole week experience. If you ever been to an

0:28:57.720 --> 0:29:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Indian wedding, it's like and he will seek. So they

0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:02.840
<v Speaker 2>had like a it was like a whole thing. So

0:29:02.960 --> 0:29:04.920
<v Speaker 2>the whole So the long story short is like where

0:29:04.920 --> 0:29:07.200
<v Speaker 2>he lives in New Jersey, Like that's where like the

0:29:07.280 --> 0:29:10.840
<v Speaker 2>whole town is all seeks and they have an interesting

0:29:10.960 --> 0:29:13.400
<v Speaker 2>thing where they own like motels. They're own like one

0:29:13.480 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 2>hundred motels and yeah, and then like he was explaining

0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:18.880
<v Speaker 2>to me the process. So it's like one person from

0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:20.880
<v Speaker 2>India comes, they buy a hotel, then they send enough

0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:23.200
<v Speaker 2>money for the next person to come, and then they

0:29:23.320 --> 0:29:26.560
<v Speaker 2>work in the hotel. They learn the business of the hotel,

0:29:26.960 --> 0:29:29.160
<v Speaker 2>and then the other people give them money to start

0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:31.640
<v Speaker 2>their hotel. When they get enough money, they pay it

0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:33.240
<v Speaker 2>back and then it's like a whole thing and that

0:29:33.320 --> 0:29:35.760
<v Speaker 2>they just run it back again. So I see that

0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:38.800
<v Speaker 2>in other cultures and it's just like it's interesting to

0:29:38.920 --> 0:29:42.280
<v Speaker 2>me because that's group economics. But for us, it's still

0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:45.240
<v Speaker 2>something that we kind of have to really be convinced

0:29:45.320 --> 0:29:48.840
<v Speaker 2>and understand. So how do we how do we get

0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:51.720
<v Speaker 2>away from from that mindset and really move in to

0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:54.040
<v Speaker 2>make it normal, Like make group economics normal.

0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:55.920
<v Speaker 4>It has to be promoted and it has to be

0:29:56.440 --> 0:29:59.760
<v Speaker 4>it has to be talked about more by those of

0:29:59.840 --> 0:30:02.360
<v Speaker 4>us practice it in a positive way. We gotta we

0:30:02.440 --> 0:30:04.840
<v Speaker 4>gotta brag about that, like, yeah, bro, I put my

0:30:04.920 --> 0:30:07.040
<v Speaker 4>family on like I said it this way. This book

0:30:07.800 --> 0:30:10.200
<v Speaker 4>was edited, it was written by me black man. Then

0:30:10.240 --> 0:30:13.160
<v Speaker 4>it was edited by black women. Then my product manager

0:30:13.480 --> 0:30:17.760
<v Speaker 4>black women, which is my sister. Then her two sons

0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:21.000
<v Speaker 4>they are employed as the packagers, so we employed them.

0:30:21.160 --> 0:30:23.440
<v Speaker 4>Then I have my my mother, and I have I

0:30:23.480 --> 0:30:26.080
<v Speaker 4>think two cousins who also work for me. I employed

0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:28.040
<v Speaker 4>my own family. You know what I'm saying, Black women

0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:31.160
<v Speaker 4>for the majority, but black people period. That's it. I said,

0:30:31.160 --> 0:30:33.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm not about to employ nobody else. I'm employing my family.

0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:35.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm anna free all up so that we can invest

0:30:35.480 --> 0:30:36.560
<v Speaker 4>in each other and then we can go ahead and

0:30:36.600 --> 0:30:38.240
<v Speaker 4>build on something else. And we are building on something

0:30:38.280 --> 0:30:39.840
<v Speaker 4>else now, you know what I'm saying. That's how it's

0:30:39.880 --> 0:30:41.640
<v Speaker 4>supposed to be. I'm not playing no games out there

0:30:41.720 --> 0:30:43.600
<v Speaker 4>because a lot of black people in families who are

0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:43.880
<v Speaker 4>doing this.

0:30:43.960 --> 0:30:44.720
<v Speaker 3>It's great pride in that.

0:30:44.800 --> 0:30:47.560
<v Speaker 4>Come on, bro, I'm gonna say it again. We're doing

0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:48.400
<v Speaker 4>that right now.

0:30:48.600 --> 0:30:49.920
<v Speaker 3>They have to be. You know.

0:30:50.040 --> 0:30:52.840
<v Speaker 2>It's we don't trust each other, and we can still

0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:56.720
<v Speaker 2>we can stimulate each other's economy even with us like so,

0:30:56.800 --> 0:30:59.360
<v Speaker 2>they see me and Troy as the host of early Aleisia,

0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:02.480
<v Speaker 2>but it's more than us. So we have Mike who

0:31:02.600 --> 0:31:05.880
<v Speaker 2>does all of our technical stuff. We all grew up together.

0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Another one of our friendship more he just left, but

0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:11.240
<v Speaker 2>he's ahead of our marketing. So then Mike's brother is like,

0:31:11.400 --> 0:31:13.200
<v Speaker 2>he edits because I write, but I'm not the best

0:31:13.240 --> 0:31:16.720
<v Speaker 2>for grammar. So he's our editor for our writing. And

0:31:16.800 --> 0:31:20.000
<v Speaker 2>then his other brother actually edits our videos. He DTAs

0:31:20.000 --> 0:31:22.440
<v Speaker 2>our live events. So it's like, why would we pay

0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:24.880
<v Speaker 2>somebody else. We could stimulate each We all come from

0:31:24.880 --> 0:31:27.440
<v Speaker 2>the same neighborhood, so now we stimulate in each other's economy,

0:31:27.800 --> 0:31:30.160
<v Speaker 2>and ultimately it's only going to come back to all

0:31:30.240 --> 0:31:32.520
<v Speaker 2>of us anyway and make all of us stronger as

0:31:32.560 --> 0:31:34.960
<v Speaker 2>opposed to trying to, you know, work with this person

0:31:35.120 --> 0:31:37.720
<v Speaker 2>and that person, and it's like by before you know it,

0:31:37.960 --> 0:31:40.240
<v Speaker 2>like you don't even understand what's going on. And I

0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:42.480
<v Speaker 2>feel like people will take more pride and they'll they'll

0:31:42.640 --> 0:31:45.800
<v Speaker 2>go to extra amount because now it actually makes sense

0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:48.280
<v Speaker 2>where it's like his brother's gonna work harder for him

0:31:48.920 --> 0:31:50.920
<v Speaker 2>because he know he wants him to be successful. Right,

0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:53.200
<v Speaker 2>it's not just a random person who you just outsource.

0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:54.760
<v Speaker 2>And it's like, I'll get it to it when I

0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:56.520
<v Speaker 2>can get to it, man, I'll say I'll say two

0:31:56.560 --> 0:31:58.640
<v Speaker 2>things in this. First of all, we as a people

0:31:58.760 --> 0:32:01.200
<v Speaker 2>have to be willing to work. That's like, we gotta

0:32:01.200 --> 0:32:03.040
<v Speaker 2>be real about this. This is what the accountability that.

0:32:05.120 --> 0:32:09.000
<v Speaker 4>If I put you on, be on, don't give me

0:32:09.080 --> 0:32:11.360
<v Speaker 4>a bad name. And I'm doing my best to keep

0:32:11.400 --> 0:32:13.960
<v Speaker 4>this thing afloat. Don't come in like, man, what a bag.

0:32:14.080 --> 0:32:16.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm trying to get the bag you can't get. There's

0:32:16.040 --> 0:32:19.240
<v Speaker 4>plenty of bag. We're talking like it's only one bag. Like, no,

0:32:19.360 --> 0:32:21.280
<v Speaker 4>you gotta keep adding to the Okay, we're gonna give

0:32:21.280 --> 0:32:23.240
<v Speaker 4>your bag. It's gonna be empty at first. You're gonna

0:32:23.240 --> 0:32:27.080
<v Speaker 4>add I'm gonna switch a lot of rappers talking. You're

0:32:27.080 --> 0:32:28.720
<v Speaker 4>gonna add to it. And us as a people, we

0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:30.520
<v Speaker 4>are the bad. That's what we got to get through.

0:32:31.080 --> 0:32:32.040
<v Speaker 3>We are value.

0:32:32.400 --> 0:32:34.400
<v Speaker 4>This come on the value. We have to add to that.

0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:36.920
<v Speaker 4>So we we add to that piece. And we have

0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:40.600
<v Speaker 4>to be pride for or proud and thankful and happy

0:32:40.640 --> 0:32:42.440
<v Speaker 4>to work for one another. If I'm working one brother,

0:32:42.520 --> 0:32:44.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm working with my brother. And we have to treat

0:32:44.560 --> 0:32:46.640
<v Speaker 4>the people that work with us fairly too. We gotta

0:32:46.680 --> 0:32:48.480
<v Speaker 4>have love, we gotta have respect, we have to have trust.

0:32:48.920 --> 0:32:50.880
<v Speaker 4>One major reason why we don't trust when it comes

0:32:50.880 --> 0:32:54.560
<v Speaker 4>to money. It's really a traumatic thing that has been

0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:56.920
<v Speaker 4>passed down generationally as a part of what happened with

0:32:57.000 --> 0:33:00.240
<v Speaker 4>us with the Freedman's Bank. The Freeman's Bank when black

0:33:00.280 --> 0:33:03.320
<v Speaker 4>folks we were technically slaves, but they're not or whatever,

0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:06.400
<v Speaker 4>and we became free, et cetera. We were putting our

0:33:06.400 --> 0:33:09.160
<v Speaker 4>money into Freeman's Bank. Okay, so we're putting our money

0:33:09.160 --> 0:33:10.480
<v Speaker 4>in there, in our savings and all that. And after

0:33:10.520 --> 0:33:14.120
<v Speaker 4>a certain point they just took all our money and

0:33:14.920 --> 0:33:16.560
<v Speaker 4>they're like, but no, you can't get your money back

0:33:16.640 --> 0:33:18.280
<v Speaker 4>now that's it boomed. So our money is going out

0:33:18.320 --> 0:33:20.240
<v Speaker 4>of like we're like, okay, hold on, hold on. So

0:33:20.320 --> 0:33:23.120
<v Speaker 4>we were rushing now hearing about that Russian. Just take

0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:24.720
<v Speaker 4>whatever our money, take it out and just spend it.

0:33:24.920 --> 0:33:26.800
<v Speaker 4>Just spend it, spend and spend it because they're gonna

0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:28.320
<v Speaker 4>take it from me. So I gotta spend it to

0:33:28.400 --> 0:33:31.880
<v Speaker 4>get some assets, something physical, you know, So so now

0:33:31.920 --> 0:33:33.600
<v Speaker 4>I have to. It's it's a traumatic thing. That's why

0:33:33.600 --> 0:33:36.560
<v Speaker 4>we just spend, spend, spend, spend. We don't save because

0:33:36.560 --> 0:33:38.680
<v Speaker 4>we think, damn it, if I don't buy something, I'm

0:33:38.680 --> 0:33:41.479
<v Speaker 4>gonna lose it. That's really it's a deep traumatic thing

0:33:41.560 --> 0:33:43.280
<v Speaker 4>that happens. But especially in the hood. We gotta buy

0:33:43.280 --> 0:33:45.120
<v Speaker 4>the sneakers, we gotta buy the necklace, we gotta buy this,

0:33:45.440 --> 0:33:51.320
<v Speaker 4>not realize most of that jurious fake I'm not talking

0:33:51.360 --> 0:33:54.400
<v Speaker 4>about ones that I know personally, it's really you know,

0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:56.800
<v Speaker 4>so we don't want to give our people this fake

0:33:57.680 --> 0:34:00.920
<v Speaker 4>hope of aspirations in something that does an add value,

0:34:00.960 --> 0:34:03.200
<v Speaker 4>doesn't add wealth, doesn't build up us as a people.

0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:06.040
<v Speaker 4>And really, when you're putting people on, when you're buying

0:34:06.120 --> 0:34:08.600
<v Speaker 4>up land in real estate and you're going into technology

0:34:08.640 --> 0:34:11.200
<v Speaker 4>and business and all of that, it takes time. But

0:34:11.400 --> 0:34:14.399
<v Speaker 4>it is the most long lasting. That little quick dollar

0:34:14.440 --> 0:34:18.080
<v Speaker 4>ain't nothing. It is how long it's the longevity, the consistency.

0:34:18.160 --> 0:34:21.200
<v Speaker 4>Can you create what you create generational wealth like motels

0:34:21.239 --> 0:34:24.000
<v Speaker 4>and stuff like that. Bro, that's never ending. Yeah, you

0:34:24.000 --> 0:34:25.920
<v Speaker 4>see what I'm saying, And that's families that do that,

0:34:26.040 --> 0:34:27.839
<v Speaker 4>families and they eating for the rest of their life.

0:34:28.040 --> 0:34:30.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm tired of this whole get the bag noble. I

0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:33.320
<v Speaker 4>want to get get the business the business, okay, and

0:34:33.360 --> 0:34:36.759
<v Speaker 4>then build from there and just keep going until you know,

0:34:36.840 --> 0:34:38.439
<v Speaker 4>we achieve that generational wealth.

0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:41.440
<v Speaker 3>So speaking, expelled rappers and obviously get the bag is

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:43.800
<v Speaker 3>that's one of the slangs. What are your thoughts in

0:34:43.800 --> 0:34:46.239
<v Speaker 3>the accountability and responsibility that they have, because I mean,

0:34:46.280 --> 0:34:47.960
<v Speaker 3>I feel like you might be just like a generation

0:34:48.000 --> 0:34:49.600
<v Speaker 3>below us when it came to the music. We always

0:34:49.640 --> 0:34:52.359
<v Speaker 3>talk about how it raised us. What are your thoughts

0:34:52.360 --> 0:34:54.560
<v Speaker 3>on that? Just generation rappers?

0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:56.640
<v Speaker 4>People listen to y'all, that's just what we have to

0:34:56.760 --> 0:34:59.279
<v Speaker 4>get through our head. The children listen to what rappers say.

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:02.719
<v Speaker 4>Out of what you say, sim Lean percoset. Okay, they're

0:35:02.719 --> 0:35:03.920
<v Speaker 4>gonna send Lean and percoset that.

0:35:05.320 --> 0:35:08.239
<v Speaker 3>Unfortunately, it's what you do as an influencer.

0:35:08.600 --> 0:35:11.480
<v Speaker 4>Most people who are rappers, you know, they like, Look,

0:35:11.480 --> 0:35:13.359
<v Speaker 4>I didn't signed up to be no leader. Yeah you did,

0:35:13.560 --> 0:35:16.000
<v Speaker 4>sadly you did the moment you decided to be in

0:35:16.120 --> 0:35:19.440
<v Speaker 4>front of people. You in front of people, and people

0:35:19.560 --> 0:35:21.520
<v Speaker 4>like what you say. So they nine times out of

0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:23.600
<v Speaker 4>ten are gonna want to do what you say to do.

0:35:23.840 --> 0:35:25.919
<v Speaker 4>They're gonna want to act like how you act, dress

0:35:25.960 --> 0:35:28.279
<v Speaker 4>how you dress, go where you go. That's what it is.

0:35:28.400 --> 0:35:30.920
<v Speaker 4>If I'm interested in you, I see what you got on.

0:35:31.160 --> 0:35:33.920
<v Speaker 4>I like that because I like you. It's the personality

0:35:33.960 --> 0:35:35.680
<v Speaker 4>attached to it. I like the personality. I want to

0:35:35.719 --> 0:35:38.080
<v Speaker 4>be like the personality. It's a psychological game that we

0:35:38.400 --> 0:35:39.960
<v Speaker 4>have to understand that we're playing. So you've got to

0:35:40.000 --> 0:35:43.040
<v Speaker 4>be very accountable when you're doing what you're doing. Just

0:35:43.160 --> 0:35:47.040
<v Speaker 4>the athletes, the rappers, the actresses, the actress, everybody gotta

0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:49.800
<v Speaker 4>be accountable because people are watching you. So regardless of

0:35:49.840 --> 0:35:51.279
<v Speaker 4>whether or that's you feel like you signed them to

0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:54.719
<v Speaker 4>be a influencer or a leader, you are that. Now.

0:35:54.800 --> 0:35:57.560
<v Speaker 4>Are you doing it properly? Maybe not, but you have

0:35:57.600 --> 0:35:59.560
<v Speaker 4>to understand people are gonna follow what you do and

0:35:59.640 --> 0:36:01.920
<v Speaker 4>what you say. So we just got to take responsibility

0:36:01.960 --> 0:36:02.439
<v Speaker 4>for that broke.

0:36:03.560 --> 0:36:05.640
<v Speaker 2>So you're a member of the Nation of Islam. So

0:36:05.719 --> 0:36:08.439
<v Speaker 2>I was talking off camera as far as I don't

0:36:08.480 --> 0:36:11.200
<v Speaker 2>think that the Nation Islam people really understand as far

0:36:11.239 --> 0:36:14.680
<v Speaker 2>as one of the founding principles of it was an

0:36:14.800 --> 0:36:19.200
<v Speaker 2>economic structure like it had when it first started in

0:36:19.280 --> 0:36:23.399
<v Speaker 2>the sixties even fifties. You know a lot of restaurants, Yes,

0:36:24.480 --> 0:36:27.440
<v Speaker 2>it was. It was importing fish, I believe from Peru,

0:36:28.320 --> 0:36:33.600
<v Speaker 2>with boats and trucks, farms, schools. That was like the

0:36:33.640 --> 0:36:35.600
<v Speaker 2>whole thing in the slogan was like do for self.

0:36:36.280 --> 0:36:38.520
<v Speaker 2>So economics was always a big part of it. So

0:36:39.960 --> 0:36:41.879
<v Speaker 2>can you enlighten the people on that, because, like I said,

0:36:41.880 --> 0:36:43.759
<v Speaker 2>they might have heard about the Nation Islam, they might

0:36:43.840 --> 0:36:46.960
<v Speaker 2>have had some preconceived notions, but they might not have

0:36:47.160 --> 0:36:49.480
<v Speaker 2>known that part. As far as the business structure.

0:36:49.200 --> 0:36:51.240
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, but I'll say this when it comes to our people,

0:36:51.400 --> 0:36:53.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, when it comes to us as a group,

0:36:53.600 --> 0:36:55.600
<v Speaker 4>the number one thing is to make sure you keep

0:36:55.640 --> 0:36:59.320
<v Speaker 4>our people economically undermined, thiss enfranchised, keep them out of

0:36:59.360 --> 0:37:01.719
<v Speaker 4>the market, make sure we don't have the ability to

0:37:01.800 --> 0:37:04.520
<v Speaker 4>access capital large amounts of money so that we can

0:37:04.600 --> 0:37:07.400
<v Speaker 4>do for self. That's been the overall legenda of this system. However,

0:37:07.760 --> 0:37:10.319
<v Speaker 4>the most honoraby Lajah Muhammad came up with something called

0:37:10.360 --> 0:37:13.640
<v Speaker 4>the Economic Blueprint, where he said five cents a day,

0:37:14.160 --> 0:37:17.319
<v Speaker 4>thirty five cents a week, less than twenty dollars a year,

0:37:17.400 --> 0:37:19.720
<v Speaker 4>and we all pour that money and pull it together

0:37:20.040 --> 0:37:22.600
<v Speaker 4>so that we can have a practicing group economic system

0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:24.279
<v Speaker 4>where we can buy our own farm land, where we

0:37:24.280 --> 0:37:26.920
<v Speaker 4>can establish own businesses, et cetera, et cetera. So he

0:37:27.160 --> 0:37:30.360
<v Speaker 4>started that and the do for self or suffer the

0:37:30.480 --> 0:37:33.920
<v Speaker 4>consequences is specifically what he said, he learned a lot

0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:36.360
<v Speaker 4>of what he learned from when it comes to economics,

0:37:36.480 --> 0:37:39.680
<v Speaker 4>from the honorable Marcus Mosaic Garviy with the entire you know,

0:37:39.760 --> 0:37:42.320
<v Speaker 4>the movement under the Garviai movement, which was very successful

0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:45.440
<v Speaker 4>as we all know. So by implementing this, the Nation

0:37:45.520 --> 0:37:48.840
<v Speaker 4>of Islam rolls, as I said, not only with farms

0:37:48.840 --> 0:37:53.359
<v Speaker 4>as you brought up, importing fish, schools, businesses. We had

0:37:53.600 --> 0:37:56.200
<v Speaker 4>sewing companies, you know, clothing companies, all these things, and

0:37:56.239 --> 0:37:58.680
<v Speaker 4>of course employing all of our own people. And it

0:37:58.800 --> 0:38:01.680
<v Speaker 4>grew into an over eight see million dollar economy with

0:38:01.760 --> 0:38:04.880
<v Speaker 4>the Nation of Islam Alan talking about in the sixties,

0:38:05.280 --> 0:38:07.160
<v Speaker 4>you know what I'm saying. So the do for self

0:38:07.239 --> 0:38:10.360
<v Speaker 4>still stands today. We still practice that today. We actually

0:38:10.520 --> 0:38:13.040
<v Speaker 4>when the government came in and pretty much destroyed everything,

0:38:13.640 --> 0:38:16.160
<v Speaker 4>removed our schools, removed everything, you know, arrested a lot

0:38:16.200 --> 0:38:19.120
<v Speaker 4>of the people. They did not want it to be

0:38:19.239 --> 0:38:21.200
<v Speaker 4>known that that was that there was an independent group

0:38:21.280 --> 0:38:25.040
<v Speaker 4>of black people, intelligent thinkers, peaceful people. You're not gonna

0:38:25.080 --> 0:38:27.319
<v Speaker 4>mess with us, you know, but we are peaceful who

0:38:27.360 --> 0:38:29.920
<v Speaker 4>are doing for self and establishing our own everything, just

0:38:29.960 --> 0:38:31.960
<v Speaker 4>how everyone else is doing. Chinese are doing it, and

0:38:32.040 --> 0:38:34.320
<v Speaker 4>he is doing it, Jewish people doing it. And the

0:38:34.440 --> 0:38:37.040
<v Speaker 4>issue was that for us in particular, because we wanted

0:38:37.080 --> 0:38:39.680
<v Speaker 4>to separate and establish our own everything, that became a problem.

0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:44.440
<v Speaker 4>So we still have it today. Schools, we have farms. Security. Oh,

0:38:44.600 --> 0:38:45.520
<v Speaker 4>security all day long.

0:38:47.840 --> 0:38:48.960
<v Speaker 3>We'll get that, we'll get that.

0:38:50.680 --> 0:38:53.440
<v Speaker 4>You get it twisted, you know. But we have a

0:38:53.480 --> 0:38:55.359
<v Speaker 4>lot of these things still established. We have the number

0:38:55.400 --> 0:38:58.200
<v Speaker 4>one black news publication in the world, the Final Call

0:38:58.320 --> 0:39:02.279
<v Speaker 4>newspaper independently, you know, produced, published and promoted by us,

0:39:02.680 --> 0:39:06.200
<v Speaker 4>with local, national, and international news about different topics and subjects,

0:39:06.239 --> 0:39:07.480
<v Speaker 4>including economics.

0:39:07.680 --> 0:39:07.840
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:39:08.000 --> 0:39:11.279
<v Speaker 4>So, yeah, man, it's a beautiful thing. It was a

0:39:11.520 --> 0:39:15.880
<v Speaker 4>larger circumstance back then, but once it came down, we

0:39:16.000 --> 0:39:17.879
<v Speaker 4>of course resurrected it and that we are still going.

0:39:18.040 --> 0:39:22.879
<v Speaker 4>How did you said? The government kind of squashed it? Yeah,

0:39:23.120 --> 0:39:24.799
<v Speaker 4>how'd that go? And time?

0:39:24.880 --> 0:39:26.319
<v Speaker 3>What's the timeframe we're talking about?

0:39:26.360 --> 0:39:29.440
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, you're talking about in the late sixties, early

0:39:29.760 --> 0:39:32.480
<v Speaker 4>seventies where they came in. Of course, when the most

0:39:32.480 --> 0:39:36.279
<v Speaker 4>taanabilaged Mohammad departed in the mid nineteen seventies, that's when

0:39:36.320 --> 0:39:39.080
<v Speaker 4>a lot of different things started happening. Businesses started shutting down.

0:39:39.120 --> 0:39:41.600
<v Speaker 4>They started to go in. You know, certain people left

0:39:41.640 --> 0:39:43.959
<v Speaker 4>and became discouraged. You know, once you once you feel

0:39:44.000 --> 0:39:47.120
<v Speaker 4>that your leader has departed, it's very you know, disheartened,

0:39:47.160 --> 0:39:49.000
<v Speaker 4>it's heartbreaking. So a lot of people left, the businesses,

0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:51.080
<v Speaker 4>a lot of businesses shut down, a lot of companies

0:39:51.920 --> 0:39:55.120
<v Speaker 4>started to buy out businesses and companies. The schools. They

0:39:55.160 --> 0:39:58.600
<v Speaker 4>were arresting the teachers of the Mohamma University at the time,

0:39:58.640 --> 0:40:02.120
<v Speaker 4>because we faught to have independent schooling. In large part

0:40:02.200 --> 0:40:04.440
<v Speaker 4>in America is because of the most Unabeliga Muhammad that

0:40:04.560 --> 0:40:07.880
<v Speaker 4>independent schooling even exists him, Sister Claire Mahama weed, that

0:40:08.080 --> 0:40:09.759
<v Speaker 4>was something that we fought for because he said, of

0:40:09.880 --> 0:40:12.560
<v Speaker 4>our people want to learn education about us, we must

0:40:12.600 --> 0:40:14.880
<v Speaker 4>be taught by our own just how everyone else does that.

0:40:15.239 --> 0:40:17.520
<v Speaker 4>So again that was a problem. So these are different

0:40:17.600 --> 0:40:19.719
<v Speaker 4>components that the government came in and said we're gonna

0:40:19.760 --> 0:40:22.880
<v Speaker 4>take that, take that, remove that, buy that out, etcetera.

0:40:23.160 --> 0:40:25.560
<v Speaker 4>You know, arrest these people, et cetera, et cetera. So

0:40:25.640 --> 0:40:29.600
<v Speaker 4>it was a large pool and economically that was a

0:40:29.680 --> 0:40:31.800
<v Speaker 4>major thing that they said we're gonna snatch this, and

0:40:31.840 --> 0:40:33.840
<v Speaker 4>they try to come up with things saying well, this

0:40:34.000 --> 0:40:35.960
<v Speaker 4>is done illegally, and this is illegaland we're gonna take

0:40:36.000 --> 0:40:38.080
<v Speaker 4>this and taxes and whatever. You know, they just tried

0:40:38.120 --> 0:40:40.880
<v Speaker 4>to find any way to destroy the base and the foundation.

0:40:41.120 --> 0:40:44.880
<v Speaker 4>So they were successful partially, but again because because of

0:40:45.000 --> 0:40:47.279
<v Speaker 4>Minister Farakhan and all the work of the believers at

0:40:47.320 --> 0:40:49.800
<v Speaker 4>that time in the late seventies and the eighties, we

0:40:49.920 --> 0:40:52.399
<v Speaker 4>were able to resurrect it and re establish everything. We're

0:40:52.440 --> 0:40:54.880
<v Speaker 4>still coming back up, but we were seriously able to

0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:57.400
<v Speaker 4>come back something that usually is devastating.

0:40:57.480 --> 0:40:59.439
<v Speaker 3>Now I've heard you say before you were born into

0:40:59.480 --> 0:41:01.480
<v Speaker 3>the nation. Can you talk about that journey? Because I

0:41:01.640 --> 0:41:04.640
<v Speaker 3>know that you've been studying and obviously teaching as well,

0:41:04.680 --> 0:41:07.560
<v Speaker 3>but I know you went into political science in college.

0:41:07.800 --> 0:41:09.040
<v Speaker 3>What's that journey been like for you?

0:41:09.400 --> 0:41:12.120
<v Speaker 4>I'll say this, being born, first born Compton, the youngest

0:41:12.120 --> 0:41:16.440
<v Speaker 4>of ten children. You said, well, attitude, man, we got

0:41:16.480 --> 0:41:18.960
<v Speaker 4>some big families. So I'm the youngest of ten children,

0:41:19.080 --> 0:41:22.840
<v Speaker 4>five boys, five girls, and growing up in Compton. We

0:41:23.160 --> 0:41:26.640
<v Speaker 4>went to Mahana Mastam fifty four in Compton, that's the

0:41:26.719 --> 0:41:29.239
<v Speaker 4>Compton Mosque. So I was praying in Arabic before I

0:41:29.280 --> 0:41:32.120
<v Speaker 4>prayed in English. I was waking up five am, washing

0:41:32.560 --> 0:41:34.400
<v Speaker 4>my hands, feed ankles for a blution and all that,

0:41:34.440 --> 0:41:36.279
<v Speaker 4>praying on the rug with the compass on it. I

0:41:36.320 --> 0:41:37.759
<v Speaker 4>didn't even know what I was saying when I was

0:41:37.760 --> 0:41:39.439
<v Speaker 4>two and three years old, but that's what I was doing.

0:41:40.680 --> 0:41:43.600
<v Speaker 4>All of our last names are Islam, so that's really

0:41:43.640 --> 0:41:49.440
<v Speaker 4>interesting to the airport right now. Boring into it, Man,

0:41:49.520 --> 0:41:51.960
<v Speaker 4>it was a different lifestyle because we were all known.

0:41:52.280 --> 0:41:54.719
<v Speaker 4>Our house was known as the Muslims, like we was

0:41:54.800 --> 0:41:57.840
<v Speaker 4>known as those the Muslims in the community. So everybody

0:41:57.880 --> 0:42:00.719
<v Speaker 4>everything was cool. You came around our house, everybody's respectful.

0:42:00.880 --> 0:42:02.279
<v Speaker 4>They saw us walk down the street. All the dined them.

0:42:02.320 --> 0:42:04.080
<v Speaker 4>The moves was don't give them no port, you know,

0:42:04.680 --> 0:42:06.719
<v Speaker 4>like that's how it was funny, But that's how that's

0:42:06.719 --> 0:42:08.400
<v Speaker 4>how it was when we grew up. That was the lifestyle.

0:42:08.520 --> 0:42:10.640
<v Speaker 4>You know, it was a beautiful thing. And so from

0:42:10.719 --> 0:42:13.400
<v Speaker 4>that point up until about the age of seven or

0:42:13.440 --> 0:42:15.719
<v Speaker 4>eight is when I was practicing going to mass et cetera.

0:42:16.080 --> 0:42:18.480
<v Speaker 4>Our stepfather, who was the one that brought us into Islama,

0:42:18.520 --> 0:42:20.600
<v Speaker 4>was arrested and brought to jail. So when he was

0:42:20.640 --> 0:42:23.600
<v Speaker 4>taking to jail, family collapsed. Different things happened you know,

0:42:23.800 --> 0:42:25.840
<v Speaker 4>gang banging was something that occurred with some of my

0:42:25.920 --> 0:42:29.320
<v Speaker 4>brothers and some of my family cousins. My oldest sister

0:42:30.040 --> 0:42:33.040
<v Speaker 4>was on She ended up on skid row on crack

0:42:33.080 --> 0:42:36.360
<v Speaker 4>cocaine for about fifteen years. So she's still alive. Thankfully,

0:42:36.440 --> 0:42:38.239
<v Speaker 4>she made it through. She's cleaning and I'm thankful for that.

0:42:38.360 --> 0:42:42.480
<v Speaker 4>But this is the clock the circumstances that were happening

0:42:42.640 --> 0:42:45.360
<v Speaker 4>around our family. So at that point, no one was

0:42:45.400 --> 0:42:47.120
<v Speaker 4>going to the Maas anymore. So it was just me

0:42:47.200 --> 0:42:49.920
<v Speaker 4>and my mother. And then from there we actually went

0:42:49.960 --> 0:42:53.160
<v Speaker 4>into the Christian church because she was going to a

0:42:53.280 --> 0:42:55.600
<v Speaker 4>program when she was an atropathic doctor, et cetera. And

0:42:55.719 --> 0:42:58.800
<v Speaker 4>she was having her people go to this program, her clients,

0:42:59.160 --> 0:43:02.960
<v Speaker 4>and at that program she met up with a Christian

0:43:03.280 --> 0:43:05.800
<v Speaker 4>pastor and so they were doing things, working out a

0:43:05.840 --> 0:43:08.040
<v Speaker 4>lot of you know, situations for different patients and stuff

0:43:08.120 --> 0:43:10.239
<v Speaker 4>like that. And you know, I said, well, this is

0:43:10.400 --> 0:43:12.160
<v Speaker 4>where we're gonna be at. I was like nineteen years old,

0:43:12.200 --> 0:43:13.799
<v Speaker 4>So she said, okay, you know that we're gonna be at,

0:43:13.800 --> 0:43:16.080
<v Speaker 4>et cetera. And I was learning the Bible at that point,

0:43:16.280 --> 0:43:18.719
<v Speaker 4>so I started learning the Quran, et cetera. Praying there

0:43:18.800 --> 0:43:21.160
<v Speaker 4>a big in a nation. Then I'm now in the

0:43:21.200 --> 0:43:23.560
<v Speaker 4>Christian Church for a certain period of time. Then after

0:43:23.600 --> 0:43:25.319
<v Speaker 4>that boom circle all the way back now and back.

0:43:25.239 --> 0:43:25.600
<v Speaker 3>In the nation.

0:43:25.960 --> 0:43:28.720
<v Speaker 4>Like that's how literally just in a nutshell.

0:43:28.360 --> 0:43:32.600
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty Have have your other siblings are they have

0:43:32.760 --> 0:43:36.040
<v Speaker 2>they come back to the nation or they love the nation?

0:43:36.320 --> 0:43:39.400
<v Speaker 4>But to my knowledge, none of them are in a

0:43:39.640 --> 0:43:41.880
<v Speaker 4>mosque to my knowledge, but most of them they live

0:43:41.920 --> 0:43:44.160
<v Speaker 4>in different states. Those cities still got the last name

0:43:44.160 --> 0:43:46.640
<v Speaker 4>Miss Slim say Aslam Lake and they're like, we Muslim,

0:43:46.760 --> 0:43:48.880
<v Speaker 4>we you know, we love a nation. Let a minister.

0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:50.920
<v Speaker 4>It is what it is. You see what I'm saying.

0:43:50.960 --> 0:43:53.680
<v Speaker 4>So where in the building or not, Islam is right here.

0:43:54.160 --> 0:43:57.120
<v Speaker 4>So the building is not where the building is what

0:43:57.239 --> 0:43:59.319
<v Speaker 4>makes you a Muslim. It's what you practice, It's how

0:43:59.360 --> 0:44:01.440
<v Speaker 4>you live your life. That's what it is. So you know,

0:44:01.520 --> 0:44:02.520
<v Speaker 4>that's why I love my family.

0:44:02.560 --> 0:44:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Man. We all type like that, all right, Yeah, that's interesting,

0:44:05.960 --> 0:44:08.920
<v Speaker 2>especially on the on the West Coast. I feel like,

0:44:09.680 --> 0:44:12.719
<v Speaker 2>well just in general, but like from ice Cube, like

0:44:12.840 --> 0:44:15.400
<v Speaker 2>it's been influences in the music as far as with

0:44:15.560 --> 0:44:19.800
<v Speaker 2>the nation is not specifically, so always felt like, you

0:44:19.880 --> 0:44:23.440
<v Speaker 2>know it had a stronghold as far as like you know.

0:44:24.920 --> 0:44:27.160

<v Speaker 4>a tall brother. First of all, people don't know he

0:46:48.480 --> 0:46:50.040
<v Speaker 4>was a tall brother. I was taller than him, but

0:46:50.080 --> 0:46:52.279
<v Speaker 4>he was a tall brother all right. And he wasn't

0:46:52.280 --> 0:46:54.400
<v Speaker 4>no joke. He was very humble. He talked to everybody,

0:46:54.400 --> 0:46:57.239

<v Speaker 4>always in the hood, not saying that, you know, other

0:47:14.360 --> 0:47:16.920
<v Speaker 4>organizations are not. There's a lot of groups that are.

0:47:17.040 --> 0:47:18.839

0:47:51.440 --> 0:47:54.359
<v Speaker 4>He was mentoring in for about good over seven years,

0:47:54.440 --> 0:47:57.160
<v Speaker 4>and he would call him and ask him questions about economics,

0:47:57.239 --> 0:47:59.759
<v Speaker 4>about business, about you know, the brotherhood and just get

0:47:59.800 --> 0:48:02.480
<v Speaker 4>it by being a man, et cetera. So that economic

0:48:02.520 --> 0:48:04.759
<v Speaker 4>piece in him going out and studying bitcoin, all that

0:48:04.840 --> 0:48:07.000
<v Speaker 4>kind of stuff was in the large part because of

0:48:07.080 --> 0:48:08.960
<v Speaker 4>the nation and what he was learning from what we

0:48:09.040 --> 0:48:11.600
<v Speaker 4>were doing. You see what I'm saying. So just him

0:48:11.800 --> 0:48:14.440
<v Speaker 4>as a brother man, it was it was a powerful

0:48:14.480 --> 0:48:16.920
<v Speaker 4>thing being around him. He was very intelligent. That's another thing.

0:48:17.440 --> 0:48:20.560
<v Speaker 4>People really be sleeping on the hood, man, They really

0:48:21.080 --> 0:48:23.080
<v Speaker 4>really think we're ignorant. How it. I'm from Compton, you know,

0:48:23.200 --> 0:48:26.319
<v Speaker 4>he's La. He's ill trying, and he's out in LA.

0:48:26.320 --> 0:48:27.960
<v Speaker 4>It's a lot of brothers and sisters coming out the hood.

0:48:27.960 --> 0:48:30.520
<v Speaker 4>You're all from New York. And so when people see us.

0:48:30.840 --> 0:48:33.839
<v Speaker 4>It's very interesting how they approach you because they really

0:48:33.880 --> 0:48:36.279
<v Speaker 4>think you don't know a damn thing, and it's like, nah,

0:48:36.680 --> 0:48:38.839
<v Speaker 4>I got a lot of knowledge down here, you know, like, really,

0:48:38.920 --> 0:48:41.640
<v Speaker 4>don't don't play on me. He was he wasn't He

0:48:41.800 --> 0:48:45.279
<v Speaker 4>wasn't flamboyant, he wasn't boastful, you know. But if you

0:48:45.400 --> 0:48:49.480
<v Speaker 4>try to test him, he'll flex on him. So you like,

0:48:49.600 --> 0:48:51.239
<v Speaker 4>let you no, no, no, I know something, bro, you

0:48:51.520 --> 0:48:54.160
<v Speaker 4>sit down. But he would more so show it rather

0:48:54.239 --> 0:48:56.680
<v Speaker 4>than talking. And that's something I really respect about the brother.

0:48:56.760 --> 0:48:58.919
<v Speaker 4>He was just consistent, did the work, and he built

0:48:58.920 --> 0:49:00.680
<v Speaker 4>an empire that really with a lot of people in

0:49:00.680 --> 0:49:00.960
<v Speaker 4>the hood.

0:49:01.160 --> 0:49:03.279
<v Speaker 3>That's the fact. That's one of the quotes that you said.

0:49:03.320 --> 0:49:05.600
<v Speaker 3>You said that the greatest soldiers sometimes come from the

0:49:05.640 --> 0:49:08.080
<v Speaker 3>worst areas, and so you've made a concerted effort to

0:49:08.160 --> 0:49:10.719
<v Speaker 3>go back into these areas. I saw your answer, so

0:49:10.760 --> 0:49:11.920
<v Speaker 3>I had to talk about it because when you went

0:49:11.920 --> 0:49:15.640
<v Speaker 3>in Chicago, we drove by Old Block, like, yo, that's

0:49:15.680 --> 0:49:17.719
<v Speaker 3>old Block. But I saw you inside there, and like

0:49:17.760 --> 0:49:19.480
<v Speaker 3>you said, when when when you see people from the nation,

0:49:19.560 --> 0:49:21.520
<v Speaker 3>it's just a certain level of respect that you give.

0:49:21.680 --> 0:49:23.640
<v Speaker 3>What was the experience like Old block bro.

0:49:23.760 --> 0:49:26.320
<v Speaker 4>First of all, the security guard looked at us, like,

0:49:28.440 --> 0:49:31.279

<v Speaker 4>whole COVID and security stuff. So we go in. The

0:50:00.400 --> 0:50:04.840
<v Speaker 4>first thing we see is four five children playing outside.

0:50:05.640 --> 0:50:07.720
<v Speaker 4>The first thing you think when they talk about Chicago

0:50:07.880 --> 0:50:10.160

0:54:45.560 --> 0:54:47.520
<v Speaker 2>of like the slums in New York, like you think

0:54:47.560 --> 0:54:50.840
<v Speaker 2>of housing projects, which is like you know, tenement buildings

0:54:50.920 --> 0:54:54.360
<v Speaker 2>that they're very large, like twenty stories, fifteen stories. But

0:54:54.920 --> 0:54:58.719
<v Speaker 2>we're driving through South Central it looks like a nice

0:54:58.760 --> 0:55:01.520
<v Speaker 2>neighborhood like in reality. You know, it's like it's like

0:55:01.600 --> 0:55:02.920
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of surprising because it's like.

0:55:04.320 --> 0:55:06.239
<v Speaker 4>We got our hoods. No no, no, I'm just no

0:55:06.320 --> 0:55:06.440
<v Speaker 4>no no.

0:55:06.640 --> 0:55:07.719
<v Speaker 2>So what I'm saying, it's like, you know what I

0:55:07.800 --> 0:55:12.960
<v Speaker 2>mean as far as the I feel like sometimes the

0:55:13.120 --> 0:55:17.560
<v Speaker 2>mindset like can place a good neighborhood and make it bad.

0:55:17.840 --> 0:55:18.399
<v Speaker 4>Like you know what I'm saying.

0:55:18.440 --> 0:55:20.600
<v Speaker 2>It's like the resources might be there to actually make

0:55:20.640 --> 0:55:25.200
<v Speaker 2>it a good neighborhood, but you know, other elements can

0:55:25.280 --> 0:55:27.520
<v Speaker 2>turn into a bad neighborhood. But on the outside looking

0:55:27.600 --> 0:55:31.440
<v Speaker 2>in it doesn't necessarily fit the description of what a

0:55:31.560 --> 0:55:32.880
<v Speaker 2>slum or bad neighborhood.

0:55:33.320 --> 0:55:37.080
<v Speaker 3>It's not a foravilla, you know what I mean, especially

0:55:37.120 --> 0:55:37.840
<v Speaker 3>if you grew up in it.

0:55:38.360 --> 0:55:39.840
<v Speaker 4>You know, you can't really tell the difference. A lot

0:55:39.880 --> 0:55:41.359
<v Speaker 4>of these children, like I said, when I was walking

0:55:41.400 --> 0:55:43.560
<v Speaker 4>in there and just watching them play around throw football

0:55:43.560 --> 0:55:45.040
<v Speaker 4>and we threw the football around with him and everything,

0:55:45.200 --> 0:55:47.480
<v Speaker 4>they didn't they couldn't tell we in the limited project.

0:55:48.640 --> 0:55:51.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's like that bubble mentality. It's like, yo, I

0:55:51.440 --> 0:55:54.600
<v Speaker 3>wish and working in the city, it was like I

0:55:54.719 --> 0:55:56.719
<v Speaker 3>lived eight miles from where I was teaching, So I

0:55:56.840 --> 0:55:58.399
<v Speaker 3>was like, I used in my mind, like I really

0:55:58.400 --> 0:56:00.120
<v Speaker 3>wish these kids could just see what eight miles the

0:56:00.160 --> 0:56:02.719
<v Speaker 3>way it looks like, like just eight miles away, like

0:56:02.840 --> 0:56:05.840
<v Speaker 3>just a bus ride away, how much different life looks

0:56:06.520 --> 0:56:08.200
<v Speaker 3>because they just live in this bubble world where it's

0:56:08.239 --> 0:56:10.160
<v Speaker 3>like this is all they know, but a lot of them.

0:56:10.520 --> 0:56:12.920
<v Speaker 2>But also it goes back I said to appreciation, because

0:56:12.960 --> 0:56:15.920
<v Speaker 2>like we talk about Harlem and it's like, all right,

0:56:17.560 --> 0:56:20.759
<v Speaker 2>you see it's being gentified at a very alarming rate,

0:56:21.239 --> 0:56:23.200
<v Speaker 2>and you see best stop being gentified at a very

0:56:23.200 --> 0:56:26.520
<v Speaker 2>alarming rate. But it's like a lot of times we

0:56:26.640 --> 0:56:30.319
<v Speaker 2>don't fully appreciate it until it's actually being taken right,

0:56:30.360 --> 0:56:32.800
<v Speaker 2>because it's like even in New York, like there's projects,

0:56:32.840 --> 0:56:35.480
<v Speaker 2>but then there's a neighborhood called Stuyvesant Town, so Stuyvesant

0:56:35.520 --> 0:56:38.080
<v Speaker 2>toown literally looks like projects. It's the same thing, but

0:56:38.400 --> 0:56:41.560
<v Speaker 2>that's not probably it's not public housing. It's just regular

0:56:41.600 --> 0:56:43.520
<v Speaker 2>people live the even wealthy people live there. But the

0:56:43.680 --> 0:56:48.160
<v Speaker 2>upkeep of the buildings are way better. So it's like

0:56:48.280 --> 0:56:51.440
<v Speaker 2>it's it's an interesting dynamic because it's like, all right,

0:56:51.520 --> 0:56:53.839
<v Speaker 2>so that now like even where in where we live

0:56:53.880 --> 0:56:56.359
<v Speaker 2>in our neighborhood, there's a public housing project and they've

0:56:56.360 --> 0:56:59.920
<v Speaker 2>they've turning it into luxury buildings, but they're keeping the

0:57:00.080 --> 0:57:01.920
<v Speaker 2>residents there and then they're like, it's gonna be like

0:57:02.000 --> 0:57:03.960
<v Speaker 2>mixed use. So the theory I was talking to the

0:57:04.000 --> 0:57:05.680
<v Speaker 2>one of developers and he was like, the theory behind

0:57:05.719 --> 0:57:07.400
<v Speaker 2>it is that if you give people a sense of

0:57:07.520 --> 0:57:10.640
<v Speaker 2>pride where they live, they're gonna take better care of it.

0:57:11.320 --> 0:57:15.640
<v Speaker 2>And now the mindset of I'm living in the project,

0:57:15.800 --> 0:57:18.480
<v Speaker 2>so I don't mind it being bad is that and

0:57:18.560 --> 0:57:21.640
<v Speaker 2>now I'm living in luxury so it's a responsibility to upkeep.

0:57:21.720 --> 0:57:23.280
<v Speaker 2>So what I'm saying is that I just think that

0:57:23.920 --> 0:57:26.680
<v Speaker 2>we should have that same mindset no matter what, because

0:57:26.680 --> 0:57:29.480
<v Speaker 2>it's upkeep. Because even I see like the nation, like

0:57:29.520 --> 0:57:31.480
<v Speaker 2>you pick up garbage on the streets and stuff like this,

0:57:31.640 --> 0:57:34.440
<v Speaker 2>like little stuff like that, like just literally littering. You

0:57:34.440 --> 0:57:37.640
<v Speaker 2>don't really think about it, but it goes a long way,

0:57:38.360 --> 0:57:40.920
<v Speaker 2>know it. It's like the whole It's like a domino fact.

0:57:41.240 --> 0:57:42.920
<v Speaker 3>I think. I think that's one of the conversations we had.

0:57:42.960 --> 0:57:44.200
<v Speaker 3>It was like, Yo, if I gave you a Bentley,

0:57:44.200 --> 0:57:45.840
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna treat it like a Bentley. If I gave

0:57:45.880 --> 0:57:47.600
<v Speaker 3>you a Toyota, You're not gonna treat it like it

0:57:47.640 --> 0:57:49.400
<v Speaker 3>was a Bentley. You just going to look said Toyota.

0:57:49.480 --> 0:57:51.640
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying exactly.

0:57:51.960 --> 0:57:54.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, see that, like you said, made a very good

0:57:54.560 --> 0:57:56.520
<v Speaker 4>point when you said, we don't appreciate things until they're

0:57:56.560 --> 0:57:58.680
<v Speaker 4>taken away from us. That's a big deal because now

0:57:58.720 --> 0:58:01.280
<v Speaker 4>people are talking about gentrification. But it's like like you said,

0:58:01.280 --> 0:58:03.320
<v Speaker 4>you be you know, litering, you be doing all kinds

0:58:03.320 --> 0:58:05.240
<v Speaker 4>of throwing stuff out the window. You don't even you

0:58:05.320 --> 0:58:07.560
<v Speaker 4>don't clean up around the neighborhood. You know, like this

0:58:07.720 --> 0:58:10.000
<v Speaker 4>is this is yours, but if you don't treat it

0:58:10.080 --> 0:58:11.960
<v Speaker 4>like it's yours, then of course somebody else is gonna

0:58:12.000 --> 0:58:13.720
<v Speaker 4>claim it. You know, right now we have on eighty

0:58:13.760 --> 0:58:17.080
<v Speaker 4>eighth and Vermont over in LA, these new housing units

0:58:17.200 --> 0:58:20.800
<v Speaker 4>that they just put up, and I'm like, okay, it's

0:58:20.840 --> 0:58:22.960
<v Speaker 4>usually a lot of homeless right there. It's a lot

0:58:23.000 --> 0:58:25.479
<v Speaker 4>of neighborhoods right there, those right down street from Vermont

0:58:25.560 --> 0:58:29.400
<v Speaker 4>and Manchester Central, that's South Central, this is LA. I'm like, so,

0:58:30.320 --> 0:58:32.480
<v Speaker 4>who the hell invested right there in that in that

0:58:32.600 --> 0:58:35.120
<v Speaker 4>area because I know we didn't do it. Secondly, who's

0:58:35.120 --> 0:58:36.520
<v Speaker 4>going to be living in there? Because I know it's

0:58:36.520 --> 0:58:38.360
<v Speaker 4>not going to be us living there. So to me,

0:58:38.440 --> 0:58:40.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm like to see, now we got to change thisself

0:58:40.320 --> 0:58:42.120
<v Speaker 4>because the moment they start coming back in, we can't

0:58:42.160 --> 0:58:44.240
<v Speaker 4>complain because it's too late. Now. We need to be

0:58:44.360 --> 0:58:47.040
<v Speaker 4>pooling our resources, our money right now and start to

0:58:47.160 --> 0:58:49.120
<v Speaker 4>buy up piece by piece, And which is what we

0:58:49.600 --> 0:58:51.400
<v Speaker 4>are doing. You know, some of us are doing it,

0:58:51.560 --> 0:58:53.160
<v Speaker 4>others are not doing it. But as a people, we

0:58:53.160 --> 0:58:55.200
<v Speaker 4>got to get into that mentality of yeah, you may

0:58:55.280 --> 0:58:57.360
<v Speaker 4>not have all the money as an individual, right you

0:58:57.480 --> 0:58:59.600
<v Speaker 4>live in the projects, you got twenty dollars. Though you

0:58:59.680 --> 0:59:02.760
<v Speaker 4>got next door they got twenty each person the projects,

0:59:02.800 --> 0:59:04.360
<v Speaker 4>y'all can come up with a twenty. We're gonna all

0:59:04.400 --> 0:59:06.680
<v Speaker 4>put that together and we can start buying up plots

0:59:06.760 --> 0:59:08.280
<v Speaker 4>of land and then we can start building on it.

0:59:08.440 --> 0:59:09.800
<v Speaker 4>That's how the mentality is supposed to be.

0:59:10.080 --> 0:59:12.360
<v Speaker 3>Then it becomes ours right now, it doesn't become something

0:59:12.400 --> 0:59:14.000
<v Speaker 3>with renting, And it was like, oh, we can't pass that.

0:59:14.200 --> 0:59:17.760
<v Speaker 2>We also we interviewed Chris Senegal. He's a realitate developer

0:59:17.840 --> 0:59:20.280
<v Speaker 2>in Houston, Texas. So what he's doing is interesting. He

0:59:20.360 --> 0:59:22.480
<v Speaker 2>brought like a whole block in the Fifth Ward, which

0:59:22.560 --> 0:59:24.640
<v Speaker 2>at the time was a really bad neighborhood. It was

0:59:24.680 --> 0:59:27.760
<v Speaker 2>like prostitutions, liquor stores, and it was pretty dilapidated.

0:59:27.840 --> 0:59:28.040
<v Speaker 4>So he.

0:59:29.600 --> 0:59:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Re renovated the whole block townhouses. But what he's doing

0:59:32.800 --> 0:59:35.200
<v Speaker 2>is that so it's like, all right, Usually somebody from

0:59:35.360 --> 0:59:38.320
<v Speaker 2>the hood does good. They become a doctor, a lawyer, whatever.

0:59:38.360 --> 0:59:39.840
<v Speaker 2>They moved to the suburbs. So he's like, all right,

0:59:39.880 --> 0:59:42.240
<v Speaker 2>those people that are originally from the Fifth Ward that

0:59:42.400 --> 0:59:46.000
<v Speaker 2>moved to the suburbs, he's like recruiting them to come back.

0:59:46.520 --> 0:59:48.240
<v Speaker 2>So it's like you know what I mean, Like now

0:59:48.520 --> 0:59:52.280
<v Speaker 2>you bringing back So it's not even like you're compromising

0:59:52.880 --> 0:59:56.760
<v Speaker 2>the economy because but now it's raising But now it's

0:59:56.760 --> 0:59:59.320
<v Speaker 2>helping everybody because the school system and that. But it's

0:59:59.320 --> 1:00:02.080
<v Speaker 2>people that actually care for the community and a part

1:00:02.120 --> 1:00:03.880
<v Speaker 2>of the culture because it came from it. As opposed

1:00:03.920 --> 1:00:05.440
<v Speaker 2>to somebody it just has nothing to do with the

1:00:05.480 --> 1:00:06.160
<v Speaker 2>community at all.

1:00:06.240 --> 1:00:08.200
<v Speaker 4>Build up the hood and not a band in the hood.

1:00:08.480 --> 1:00:09.920
<v Speaker 4>That's how it is. You know, a lot of us.

1:00:10.000 --> 1:00:11.400
<v Speaker 4>See the funny thing is now a lot of people

1:00:11.440 --> 1:00:13.680
<v Speaker 4>who left the hood now to look into the hood

1:00:13.680 --> 1:00:16.000
<v Speaker 4>because the activists have become the celebrities.

1:00:19.360 --> 1:00:19.800
<v Speaker 3>Come down there.

1:00:21.200 --> 1:00:23.280
<v Speaker 4>Shouldn't have left, right, But that's that's the It shouldn't

1:00:23.320 --> 1:00:25.720
<v Speaker 4>take all that. But now I'm very proud of that

1:00:25.760 --> 1:00:27.800
<v Speaker 4>brother for doing that, because that's exactly what needs to happen.

1:00:27.960 --> 1:00:30.800
<v Speaker 4>Whatever hood you came from, it's really like adopt the hood.

1:00:31.400 --> 1:00:34.520
<v Speaker 4>That's yours. What you're doing Like it's like a newborn

1:00:34.560 --> 1:00:36.800
<v Speaker 4>baby you just left it. No, it's your hood. Is

1:00:36.840 --> 1:00:39.120
<v Speaker 4>where you came from. It's what gave you your foundation,

1:00:39.240 --> 1:00:40.840
<v Speaker 4>good or bad, what up to make you what you are.

1:00:41.040 --> 1:00:42.960
<v Speaker 4>So going adopted you don't have to buy everything, but

1:00:43.080 --> 1:00:45.040
<v Speaker 4>at least buy something, and like you said, start to

1:00:45.080 --> 1:00:47.720
<v Speaker 4>renovate it, revamped, re establish it, and build it up

1:00:47.720 --> 1:00:49.800
<v Speaker 4>so that the hood's value can go up. People can

1:00:49.880 --> 1:00:52.000
<v Speaker 4>feel good, like, damn, that's in. That's in the hood. Man,

1:00:52.400 --> 1:00:54.680
<v Speaker 4>that looks good. Somebody might tag on it. You got

1:00:54.760 --> 1:00:58.760
<v Speaker 4>to handle them. It's a process. It's a process.

1:00:58.800 --> 1:01:01.000
<v Speaker 3>And once you start doing that, like like big business said,

1:01:01.040 --> 1:01:03.400
<v Speaker 3>like you are the comps, right so now like this

1:01:03.600 --> 1:01:06.200
<v Speaker 3>house is yours, the one next door, y'all own it,

1:01:06.320 --> 1:01:09.120
<v Speaker 3>y'all set the comps, every appreciation of the neighborhood goes up.

1:01:09.160 --> 1:01:11.000
<v Speaker 4>Hire the people in the hood. Man at homeless, dude,

1:01:11.200 --> 1:01:13.240

1:01:13.240 --> 1:01:15.360

<v Speaker 4>can help the paint whatever. That's how it is. We

1:01:33.080 --> 1:01:35.240
<v Speaker 4>think a little too deep when it comes to this.

1:01:35.280 --> 1:01:37.880
<v Speaker 4>Stuff is very very very simple. A couple hundred dollars

1:01:37.920 --> 1:01:40.040
<v Speaker 4>can go a long way for one person to help

1:01:40.120 --> 1:01:41.760
<v Speaker 4>them and their family. And you can give them a

1:01:41.840 --> 1:01:43.840
<v Speaker 4>job that takes maybe less than two hours to train

1:01:43.920 --> 1:01:46.680
<v Speaker 4>them to do that will help to go towards the collective.

1:01:46.680 --> 1:01:48.040
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying. It's real simple stuff.

1:01:48.080 --> 1:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Man.

1:01:48.320 --> 1:01:50.160
<v Speaker 2>You brought up a good point where you just said

1:01:50.240 --> 1:01:54.600
<v Speaker 2>that the activist has become the celebrities and don't get mad,

1:01:54.760 --> 1:01:58.520
<v Speaker 2>all right, No, it's true, especially with social media, the

1:01:58.600 --> 1:02:01.560
<v Speaker 2>rise of social media. So I see a lot of

1:02:01.640 --> 1:02:04.320
<v Speaker 2>stuff that you do, and and but one thing that

1:02:04.840 --> 1:02:07.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm interested in is like you're branding, because like I

1:02:07.640 --> 1:02:10.600
<v Speaker 2>feel like you've branded yourself your own way. It's kind

1:02:10.640 --> 1:02:12.040
<v Speaker 2>of like like, I don't know if you you've ever

1:02:12.080 --> 1:02:13.120
<v Speaker 2>heard a Wallow to succesven.

1:02:13.160 --> 1:02:14.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, yeah, I love my brother.

1:02:14.280 --> 1:02:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's my god. That's my got shout to Wallow.

1:02:16.280 --> 1:02:19.120
<v Speaker 2>He's being on the podcast as well, so but another one.

1:02:19.160 --> 1:02:21.080
<v Speaker 2>He's just very interesting. He has an interesting story and

1:02:21.120 --> 1:02:23.120
<v Speaker 2>he came out. He's a motivational speaker and he did

1:02:23.160 --> 1:02:25.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty years in jail. So but you're you're branding yourself

1:02:26.600 --> 1:02:31.160
<v Speaker 2>from a political standpoint, an activist standpoint, but it's still

1:02:31.640 --> 1:02:34.560
<v Speaker 2>it's still a brand, right, So like, what was your

1:02:34.640 --> 1:02:37.240
<v Speaker 2>thought process behind that? Did you originally set out to

1:02:37.440 --> 1:02:40.200
<v Speaker 2>become a social media influencer and how did you how

1:02:40.240 --> 1:02:41.080
<v Speaker 2>did you build that brand?

1:02:41.080 --> 1:02:43.360
<v Speaker 4>How did that happen? I'd say this, first of all,

1:02:43.800 --> 1:02:47.160
<v Speaker 4>I never intended to be no social media influencer, not

1:02:47.480 --> 1:02:52.360
<v Speaker 4>even closed. I've been doing this work, meaning activism, being

1:02:52.400 --> 1:02:54.880
<v Speaker 4>a researcher, educator. I've been doing this since I was

1:02:54.920 --> 1:02:57.920
<v Speaker 4>eleven years old in the hood in Compton, specifically at

1:02:57.920 --> 1:03:01.640
<v Speaker 4>a nonprofit social betterment literacy program. That's why I was

1:03:01.640 --> 1:03:03.479
<v Speaker 4>working since I was eleven years old. So the people

1:03:03.560 --> 1:03:05.880
<v Speaker 4>coming into the program was black Mexicans, people who were

1:03:05.920 --> 1:03:08.280
<v Speaker 4>on drugs, people who were on probation just got out

1:03:08.320 --> 1:03:10.400
<v Speaker 4>of jail, trying to get their children back, people who

1:03:10.440 --> 1:03:14.160
<v Speaker 4>couldn't read, couldn't write, people who were having to go

1:03:14.280 --> 1:03:16.160
<v Speaker 4>to this program in order for them to get their

1:03:16.200 --> 1:03:17.959
<v Speaker 4>children back, in order for them to get their rights

1:03:18.000 --> 1:03:20.720
<v Speaker 4>back or whatever. All this stuff. This is what I've

1:03:20.760 --> 1:03:24.120
<v Speaker 4>been doing since I was eleven years old. So teaching people,

1:03:24.320 --> 1:03:26.920
<v Speaker 4>educating people, cleaning up, you know, the community, being in

1:03:27.000 --> 1:03:28.880
<v Speaker 4>the community. All this stuff is what I've been doing

1:03:29.000 --> 1:03:32.160
<v Speaker 4>long before Instagram was even created in twenty twelve, you

1:03:32.240 --> 1:03:34.280
<v Speaker 4>know what I'm saying. So that's why when people talk

1:03:34.320 --> 1:03:35.880
<v Speaker 4>to me, they're like, man, how do you study? And

1:03:35.960 --> 1:03:37.920
<v Speaker 4>it just comes so naturally because I do it in

1:03:38.040 --> 1:03:41.480
<v Speaker 4>real life. Like some of y'all started on social media, right,

1:03:42.000 --> 1:03:43.440
<v Speaker 4>starting on social media. Now they trying to bring it

1:03:43.480 --> 1:03:45.400
<v Speaker 4>to the street. I started in the street and brought

1:03:45.400 --> 1:03:47.920
<v Speaker 4>it to social media. That's the difference. And that's not

1:03:48.040 --> 1:03:50.360
<v Speaker 4>to belittle anybody, you know, it's the beauty is good.

1:03:50.680 --> 1:03:53.920
<v Speaker 4>Wherever we are good, keep progressing. But I started and

1:03:54.040 --> 1:03:56.800
<v Speaker 4>in still in the street as an educator, you know, activist,

1:03:56.840 --> 1:04:02.360
<v Speaker 4>et cetera, researcher. So I saw social media and I noticed, okay, well, man,

1:04:02.400 --> 1:04:04.600
<v Speaker 4>if I can educate the people, I know, our attention

1:04:04.680 --> 1:04:09.320
<v Speaker 4>span kind of short. We got sixty seconds speaking of

1:04:09.360 --> 1:04:11.840
<v Speaker 4>ass so we can do something with this. And like

1:04:11.960 --> 1:04:14.720
<v Speaker 4>you said, so I started doing videos and it started

1:04:14.760 --> 1:04:16.800
<v Speaker 4>flying real quick. I was like, oh, well, dang, okay,

1:04:17.000 --> 1:04:18.440
<v Speaker 4>well I guess this is what I'm gona start doing

1:04:18.600 --> 1:04:21.000
<v Speaker 4>just to help the people more than my immediate environment.

1:04:21.320 --> 1:04:23.920
<v Speaker 4>And it took off. So I mean, I just you know, now,

1:04:23.960 --> 1:04:30.240
<v Speaker 4>they they haven't shut me down yet, so I'm surprised.

1:04:30.240 --> 1:04:31.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm still I'm really surprised.

1:04:31.960 --> 1:04:34.160
<v Speaker 3>It's still let me no shadows bands yet, No shadows

1:04:34.160 --> 1:04:34.560
<v Speaker 3>bands yet.

1:04:35.280 --> 1:04:37.120
<v Speaker 4>They let you rock your videos a lot of views,

1:04:37.280 --> 1:04:37.640
<v Speaker 4>I see that.

1:04:38.400 --> 1:04:41.640
<v Speaker 3>So, speaking of social media and it's positive or negative impact,

1:04:42.520 --> 1:04:45.720
<v Speaker 3>one of the things you said is that right now

1:04:46.000 --> 1:04:49.560
<v Speaker 3>this might be the most ignorant generation despite having the

1:04:49.680 --> 1:04:52.720
<v Speaker 3>most access and resources to information. Sir, can you go

1:04:52.760 --> 1:04:53.360
<v Speaker 3>into that a little bit?

1:04:53.440 --> 1:04:56.400
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, this generation, first of all, as far as concess

1:04:56.520 --> 1:05:00.360
<v Speaker 4>is the most powerful generation that has ever been produced. One.

1:05:01.000 --> 1:05:03.520
<v Speaker 4>We don't fear this system. We don't really care about

1:05:03.560 --> 1:05:05.880
<v Speaker 4>what white people got to say. We really don't care

1:05:05.880 --> 1:05:08.080
<v Speaker 4>about what anyone has to say. As this generation, we

1:05:08.160 --> 1:05:11.440
<v Speaker 4>really are just ripe and ready to do whatever needs

1:05:11.480 --> 1:05:13.440
<v Speaker 4>to be done for our freedom. All we need is

1:05:13.720 --> 1:05:17.880
<v Speaker 4>proper guidance, that's it. So we have the whole world

1:05:18.480 --> 1:05:21.520
<v Speaker 4>in our hands, but we don't know where to go.

1:05:22.040 --> 1:05:24.919
<v Speaker 4>We look at at nothing, but you know, working take

1:05:25.280 --> 1:05:29.760
<v Speaker 4>whatever hit the role all day and I love, so

1:05:29.800 --> 1:05:31.280
<v Speaker 4>I can't hate on that. But at the same time,

1:05:31.320 --> 1:05:34.560
<v Speaker 4>it's like, damn, we can utilize this to make some change, bro.

1:05:34.600 --> 1:05:36.640
<v Speaker 4>I mean, we can cause a create an entire revolution

1:05:37.120 --> 1:05:38.720
<v Speaker 4>just from this, you know what I'm saying. So we

1:05:38.840 --> 1:05:41.880
<v Speaker 4>need just the right guidance. So the ignorance meaning the

1:05:41.960 --> 1:05:44.120
<v Speaker 4>lack of information and the lack of knowledge, So we

1:05:44.360 --> 1:05:46.760
<v Speaker 4>lack the knowledge about a lot of things, what's going

1:05:46.800 --> 1:05:50.040
<v Speaker 4>on politically, economically, agriculturally, with us as a people, with

1:05:50.160 --> 1:05:52.400
<v Speaker 4>us as a nation, with us as a society. So

1:05:52.520 --> 1:05:55.000
<v Speaker 4>we have to give them the knowledge that they need

1:05:55.280 --> 1:05:57.200
<v Speaker 4>and then give them the guidance because we got all

1:05:57.240 --> 1:05:59.200
<v Speaker 4>the access to the information. So if I say, look,

1:06:00.000 --> 1:06:03.640
<v Speaker 4>hashtag you know black cash mob twenty twenty, which is

1:06:03.680 --> 1:06:07.520
<v Speaker 4>my hashtag, hashtag black cash Mob twenty twenty, all black

1:06:07.560 --> 1:06:10.960
<v Speaker 4>owned businesses spending on all black everything you send it

1:06:11.040 --> 1:06:14.560
<v Speaker 4>around that gets ten thousand, forty thousand shares. So you

1:06:14.760 --> 1:06:19.360
<v Speaker 4>just created an entire revolutionary constructive change, and a lot

1:06:19.440 --> 1:06:21.760
<v Speaker 4>of people can access and they can follow it, and

1:06:21.840 --> 1:06:24.200
<v Speaker 4>they can progressively do something in their community wherever they are.

1:06:24.480 --> 1:06:26.400
<v Speaker 4>They're not next to you, They in another city, another state,

1:06:26.440 --> 1:06:28.680
<v Speaker 4>and other country, but they are being involved in something

1:06:28.760 --> 1:06:32.000
<v Speaker 4>that you originated that spreads across the ethers of the universe.

1:06:32.040 --> 1:06:34.760
<v Speaker 4>That right there, bro is that's the power we have.

1:06:35.000 --> 1:06:37.600
<v Speaker 4>Now we just have to keep them being guided in

1:06:37.680 --> 1:06:39.480
<v Speaker 4>the right direction. That's the only thing I.

1:06:39.600 --> 1:06:40.120
<v Speaker 3>Know what to look for.

1:06:40.560 --> 1:06:42.280
<v Speaker 4>That's it. They just need to know, like what what

1:06:42.400 --> 1:06:43.440
<v Speaker 4>do I do? Where do I go?

1:06:43.800 --> 1:06:45.520
<v Speaker 2>I want to I want to ask you about Kingdom playing.

1:06:45.560 --> 1:06:47.040
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk about your book as well. Yes,

1:06:47.240 --> 1:06:49.160
<v Speaker 2>but I have one question before.

1:06:50.440 --> 1:06:50.880
<v Speaker 4>Ais.

1:06:50.960 --> 1:06:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Artificial intelligence is something that we've talked about a lot

1:06:56.560 --> 1:07:00.440
<v Speaker 2>on our platform. And because I remember, like in New York,

1:07:00.640 --> 1:07:03.280
<v Speaker 2>there's tolls, a lot of tolls, yes, and I remember

1:07:03.320 --> 1:07:05.600
<v Speaker 2>when those were jobs people you know, you would give

1:07:05.640 --> 1:07:07.440
<v Speaker 2>them five dollars and they give you four dollars back

1:07:07.520 --> 1:07:09.360
<v Speaker 2>or whatever and they break the change for your next

1:07:09.720 --> 1:07:12.520
<v Speaker 2>They stood in the booth all day, summertime, winner and

1:07:13.120 --> 1:07:15.439
<v Speaker 2>they got paid fifteen dollars an hour whatever they got paid.

1:07:15.480 --> 1:07:17.760
<v Speaker 4>And that was a job for a lot of people.

1:07:18.200 --> 1:07:21.880
<v Speaker 2>And there's no Everything is through cameras now and they

1:07:21.960 --> 1:07:23.920
<v Speaker 2>take pictures and they send you either easy pass or

1:07:23.960 --> 1:07:25.880
<v Speaker 2>they send you a bill and the mail. And now

1:07:25.920 --> 1:07:29.040
<v Speaker 2>we see with Amazon ghost stores where there's no cashiers

1:07:29.080 --> 1:07:30.280
<v Speaker 2>and you just walk out the store.

1:07:30.280 --> 1:07:30.919
<v Speaker 4>It's just Yeah.

1:07:31.040 --> 1:07:35.240
<v Speaker 2>So Andrew Yang spoke about this, he got a lot

1:07:35.280 --> 1:07:38.120
<v Speaker 2>of publicity for it when he said that, you know,

1:07:38.200 --> 1:07:40.919
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be an economic title wave. I believe

1:07:40.960 --> 1:07:45.040
<v Speaker 2>he said an economic title wave that's gonna it's unproportionately

1:07:45.160 --> 1:07:49.280
<v Speaker 2>hit the black and brown communities because unfortunately, these are

1:07:49.320 --> 1:07:52.760
<v Speaker 2>the people that have most of the lower paying jobs

1:07:52.840 --> 1:07:54.440
<v Speaker 2>and manual jobs.

1:07:54.520 --> 1:07:54.640
<v Speaker 3>Right.

1:07:55.840 --> 1:07:58.800
<v Speaker 2>What are your thoughts on artificial technology? How do we

1:07:58.840 --> 1:08:00.360
<v Speaker 2>get on the right because I look got it like

1:08:00.400 --> 1:08:02.920
<v Speaker 2>it's not going anywhere. It's only going to be So

1:08:03.120 --> 1:08:05.600
<v Speaker 2>it's like we can complain about it's taking up jobs,

1:08:05.800 --> 1:08:08.080
<v Speaker 2>or we can try to get on a different side

1:08:08.120 --> 1:08:11.680
<v Speaker 2>of this thing. But it's a real situation and it's

1:08:11.720 --> 1:08:14.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna only more and more jobs I think are just

1:08:14.680 --> 1:08:17.880
<v Speaker 2>going to be lost because it's just more efficient from

1:08:17.880 --> 1:08:19.800
<v Speaker 2>a business standpoint. So what's your thoughts on that?

1:08:20.160 --> 1:08:23.679
<v Speaker 4>I'll say it this way. That's where when your first question,

1:08:23.880 --> 1:08:27.000
<v Speaker 4>first question dealing with capitalism, now we are back at

1:08:27.080 --> 1:08:30.120
<v Speaker 4>it now on the negative end, because if you're willing

1:08:30.240 --> 1:08:35.559
<v Speaker 4>to hire a robot versus a man who has been

1:08:35.600 --> 1:08:37.720
<v Speaker 4>doing this for twenty years, probably went to school for it,

1:08:37.920 --> 1:08:40.320
<v Speaker 4>or if it's just a warehouse job. He's a good worker.

1:08:40.720 --> 1:08:42.880
<v Speaker 4>You know, he comes in on time. Young brother, he's

1:08:42.960 --> 1:08:44.960
<v Speaker 4>like twenty five years old. You know, we got two children.

1:08:45.160 --> 1:08:47.680
<v Speaker 4>He works hard, that's what he does. You'd rather not

1:08:47.840 --> 1:08:50.519
<v Speaker 4>do that because of the higher liability, et cetera. He

1:08:50.560 --> 1:08:53.280
<v Speaker 4>may get injured, sue you whatever. All right, I put

1:08:53.320 --> 1:08:56.160
<v Speaker 4>a robot there, business wise, sounds very sound. I mean

1:08:56.520 --> 1:09:00.400
<v Speaker 4>robot gets you know, beat up, whatever, don't matter. A robot,

1:09:00.680 --> 1:09:02.640
<v Speaker 4>I just make buy another one whatever, or I have

1:09:02.720 --> 1:09:07.599
<v Speaker 4>insurance on it. Sounds amazing. Here's a problem, how many robots?

1:09:08.960 --> 1:09:11.880
<v Speaker 4>How many jobs? First of all, do you think it

1:09:11.960 --> 1:09:16.040
<v Speaker 4>will take for the system to understand that eventually it's

1:09:16.080 --> 1:09:18.640
<v Speaker 4>going to hit you, the rich, the people making all

1:09:18.640 --> 1:09:20.519
<v Speaker 4>the money, because after a certain point, you can't have

1:09:20.640 --> 1:09:23.479
<v Speaker 4>robots for everything. This is what these futuristic movies come

1:09:23.560 --> 1:09:25.280
<v Speaker 4>into play. When it comes to all the way from

1:09:25.400 --> 1:09:28.280
<v Speaker 4>terminator all the way over to I robot. It's I'm

1:09:28.320 --> 1:09:31.280
<v Speaker 4>dropping lot of names, all these different things where people

1:09:31.360 --> 1:09:34.760
<v Speaker 4>have to understand. The moment you start making technology and

1:09:34.840 --> 1:09:38.360
<v Speaker 4>you give it artificial intelligence, you're now delving into the

1:09:38.439 --> 1:09:41.519
<v Speaker 4>area of God. After a certain point, like giving robots

1:09:41.720 --> 1:09:45.759
<v Speaker 4>citizenship in Saudi Arabia. Now you got a driver's license.

1:09:45.800 --> 1:09:47.240
<v Speaker 4>Now it's like, okay, we'll hold on, hold on, see

1:09:47.240 --> 1:09:52.760
<v Speaker 4>what what you doing? What are you doing? There is

1:09:52.800 --> 1:09:55.160
<v Speaker 4>a limit here, Like let's say, we have to maintain

1:09:55.280 --> 1:09:59.360
<v Speaker 4>our humanity. Money cannot be your God. That's why some

1:09:59.439 --> 1:10:01.280
<v Speaker 4>people they say they believe in God. But people when

1:10:01.280 --> 1:10:03.920
<v Speaker 4>it comes to money, some of them believe in God, gold,

1:10:04.040 --> 1:10:08.599
<v Speaker 4>oil and drugs. God not actual you know, the Supreme Being, etc.

1:10:09.080 --> 1:10:11.200
<v Speaker 4>You have to look at your humanity here is that

1:10:11.439 --> 1:10:14.040
<v Speaker 4>much money worth it? Well, I just got I gotta

1:10:14.080 --> 1:10:16.040
<v Speaker 4>have I gotta be a billionaire, a trillionaire and all that.

1:10:16.160 --> 1:10:18.880
<v Speaker 4>But at the expense of people who actually live their lives.

1:10:19.160 --> 1:10:22.559
<v Speaker 4>This is where that evil and wicked type of mentality goes.

1:10:22.600 --> 1:10:24.439
<v Speaker 4>So we have to be very mindful here. You can

1:10:24.520 --> 1:10:27.320
<v Speaker 4>still employ people, have your robots, etcetera. But if you

1:10:27.360 --> 1:10:29.640
<v Speaker 4>want to have robot technology, okay, good, help them go

1:10:29.720 --> 1:10:32.240
<v Speaker 4>clean up the neighborhoods. Send robots to go help the

1:10:32.280 --> 1:10:37.000
<v Speaker 4>people who are homeless, people who are you know, medically handicapped, etcee.

1:10:37.080 --> 1:10:38.920
<v Speaker 4>That there are many different areas that we need. But

1:10:39.000 --> 1:10:41.600
<v Speaker 4>y'all gonna send it to the jobs to take it

1:10:41.880 --> 1:10:44.559
<v Speaker 4>away from the people who actually working hard to take

1:10:44.600 --> 1:10:46.800
<v Speaker 4>care of their family. So I'm not interested in the

1:10:46.920 --> 1:10:49.280
<v Speaker 4>way they're doing it. The issue is that they're going

1:10:49.360 --> 1:10:51.240
<v Speaker 4>to keep doing it as long as the people allow it,

1:10:51.400 --> 1:10:54.120
<v Speaker 4>and also as long as the people keep putting their

1:10:54.479 --> 1:10:57.599
<v Speaker 4>hands out for these jobs rather than doing for self,

1:10:58.000 --> 1:11:00.160
<v Speaker 4>rather than pooling your resources with your own community, your

1:11:00.200 --> 1:11:02.280
<v Speaker 4>own people, and setting up your own companies, your own

1:11:02.360 --> 1:11:06.320
<v Speaker 4>jobs to where you will survive because this whole economic situation, Bro,

1:11:07.080 --> 1:11:10.400
<v Speaker 4>Blacks and Mexicans, for the majority, we are the warehouse workers,

1:11:10.760 --> 1:11:13.360
<v Speaker 4>We are the bus boys, We are the ones who

1:11:13.479 --> 1:11:16.200
<v Speaker 4>work for these cab companies. We are the ones who

1:11:16.479 --> 1:11:19.719
<v Speaker 4>work being waiters and waitresses and all this kind of stuff,

1:11:19.720 --> 1:11:22.120
<v Speaker 4>all of these jobs. Bro, the people who do sub

1:11:22.160 --> 1:11:24.479
<v Speaker 4>with all this stuff, we are the workers for that.

1:11:24.880 --> 1:11:27.439
<v Speaker 4>So pretty much all of those they can replace with robots.

1:11:27.600 --> 1:11:28.920
<v Speaker 4>And they have looked at that. That's why he was

1:11:28.960 --> 1:11:30.880
<v Speaker 4>saying that. Jay, he was like, you know, I think

1:11:30.920 --> 1:11:33.120
<v Speaker 4>he said about the year was say twenty fifty or

1:11:33.160 --> 1:11:35.960
<v Speaker 4>twenty thirty two, one of those two. He said, A

1:11:36.120 --> 1:11:38.400
<v Speaker 4>large chunk of the jobs are going to be replaced

1:11:38.439 --> 1:11:41.400
<v Speaker 4>by robots because that's they're projecting it, because they're planning it,

1:11:41.840 --> 1:11:44.599
<v Speaker 4>and it's very sound. So again, we got to get

1:11:44.640 --> 1:11:46.880
<v Speaker 4>back to us building our own things and doing for

1:11:47.080 --> 1:11:51.200
<v Speaker 4>self because the corporate pocracy, this corporate government and system,

1:11:51.520 --> 1:11:53.040
<v Speaker 4>they are going to do what they want to do,

1:11:53.160 --> 1:11:56.000
<v Speaker 4>but if they don't have our cooperation and our involvement,

1:11:56.280 --> 1:11:57.880
<v Speaker 4>then it won't affect us. We got to pull out

1:11:57.920 --> 1:12:00.280
<v Speaker 4>of this system, bro, and establish our own the only

1:12:00.320 --> 1:12:01.160
<v Speaker 4>way we're going to survive this.

1:12:01.439 --> 1:12:03.360
<v Speaker 3>To be honest with you, that's crazy that you said that.

1:12:03.360 --> 1:12:06.080
<v Speaker 3>I actually really wrote that down the gold, oil and drugs,

1:12:06.240 --> 1:12:08.680
<v Speaker 3>because that's a conversation Shotty and out we always have,

1:12:08.760 --> 1:12:10.640
<v Speaker 3>and I'm like, yo, you can't serve two masses and

1:12:10.680 --> 1:12:12.760
<v Speaker 3>so like that used to be like like my brother

1:12:12.880 --> 1:12:14.360
<v Speaker 3>he's actually a pastor now, but we used to have

1:12:14.520 --> 1:12:16.639
<v Speaker 3>this conversation like you can't serve two masses. You're gonna

1:12:16.680 --> 1:12:18.479
<v Speaker 3>love one and hate the other. That would lead to

1:12:18.560 --> 1:12:24.839
<v Speaker 3>like a three hour conversation about money. Yeah, yeah, exactly before.

1:12:24.600 --> 1:12:28.120
<v Speaker 4>We go there, be interested in technology, let me not,

1:12:28.280 --> 1:12:30.720
<v Speaker 4>you know, Like that's what I got to say. Be

1:12:31.120 --> 1:12:34.600
<v Speaker 4>invested in it, learn it, understand how it works, and

1:12:34.640 --> 1:12:36.640
<v Speaker 4>then also use it for us as a people. We

1:12:36.800 --> 1:12:39.559
<v Speaker 4>need to have technology when it comes to virtually everything,

1:12:39.720 --> 1:12:42.200
<v Speaker 4>we just don't need to overwhelmingly use it to where

1:12:42.200 --> 1:12:44.080
<v Speaker 4>we say, okay, good, I'm gonna use all this technology

1:12:44.360 --> 1:12:47.320
<v Speaker 4>and not give the way for my brothers and sisters

1:12:47.360 --> 1:12:49.000
<v Speaker 4>to make their own money and to have a livelihood.

1:12:49.080 --> 1:12:51.120
<v Speaker 4>Not let's use it to help us to maintain a

1:12:51.160 --> 1:12:53.200
<v Speaker 4>livelihood and to medlhood. That's what we have to do.

1:12:53.280 --> 1:12:55.920
<v Speaker 4>So we have to use it for the progressive way

1:12:56.160 --> 1:12:59.840
<v Speaker 4>rather than it, you know, being a heavy, wicked capitalistic way.

1:13:00.280 --> 1:13:01.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna just make all this and I'll give it

1:13:02.000 --> 1:13:03.800
<v Speaker 4>damn if you eat or you eat, it's all about me.

1:13:04.360 --> 1:13:07.680
<v Speaker 2>So, speaking speaking of technology, Kingdom Pay Yes, sir? What

1:13:07.880 --> 1:13:09.519
<v Speaker 2>is can we talk about Kingdom Pay.

1:13:09.600 --> 1:13:14.679
<v Speaker 4>Yes, sir? Kingdom Pay partially owned Branti Jackson, another brother myself.

1:13:15.080 --> 1:13:21.120
<v Speaker 4>It is the black owned version of cash app, Venmo, PayPal,

1:13:21.400 --> 1:13:26.639
<v Speaker 4>et cetera. People, it's like finally legit. Yes, it's legit.

1:13:27.560 --> 1:13:30.000
<v Speaker 4>Some of the top people in the top companies, people

1:13:30.040 --> 1:13:32.280
<v Speaker 4>who have been training these companies have been doing this

1:13:32.520 --> 1:13:35.960
<v Speaker 4>for a long time. Very powerful. It's it's I mean,

1:13:36.240 --> 1:13:38.920
<v Speaker 4>it almost seemed impossible, you know, when I was approached

1:13:38.960 --> 1:13:40.519
<v Speaker 4>with that idea, and when they brought it to men,

1:13:40.560 --> 1:13:41.800
<v Speaker 4>they said, brother, this is what we're doing, this is

1:13:41.880 --> 1:13:43.920
<v Speaker 4>what it is, and everything's set up, and I just

1:13:44.040 --> 1:13:47.000
<v Speaker 4>I was like, finally, because this is what it means

1:13:47.040 --> 1:13:48.519
<v Speaker 4>to do for self. We need to be able to

1:13:48.600 --> 1:13:51.240
<v Speaker 4>have a way to transfer in sind and receive our

1:13:51.280 --> 1:13:53.240
<v Speaker 4>own money. Because if we start getting our own money, cool,

1:13:53.240 --> 1:13:55.439
<v Speaker 4>But if we're still transferring and using their systems with

1:13:55.600 --> 1:13:58.320
<v Speaker 4>which to move it, then they still have our control

1:13:58.520 --> 1:14:00.880
<v Speaker 4>or they still we're still to their control. So we

1:14:01.000 --> 1:14:02.720
<v Speaker 4>have to have a way to move around all the money.

1:14:02.880 --> 1:14:05.240
<v Speaker 4>So Kingdom paid, That's what it is. And it's because

1:14:05.520 --> 1:14:08.880
<v Speaker 4>Kingdom pays. It's not about your religious group. It's about

1:14:08.960 --> 1:14:11.600
<v Speaker 4>do you believe in God, the kingdom, you know, the

1:14:12.240 --> 1:14:14.320
<v Speaker 4>king dome, the King that sits on the dome of

1:14:14.400 --> 1:14:16.920
<v Speaker 4>your mind, whatever you call God him it hurt or whatever.

1:14:17.040 --> 1:14:19.000
<v Speaker 4>Do you just believe that there's a supreme being boom,

1:14:19.080 --> 1:14:21.879
<v Speaker 4>That's all that matters. We're not about all that nonsense,

1:14:21.960 --> 1:14:24.759
<v Speaker 4>because again, when it comes to money, the color lines

1:14:24.840 --> 1:14:27.080
<v Speaker 4>don't shouldn't matter. But when it comes to the control

1:14:27.240 --> 1:14:30.720
<v Speaker 4>of your money, everyone should have their ability to control.

1:14:30.479 --> 1:14:32.920
<v Speaker 3>Their own Listen, So Kingdom pays through an app and

1:14:33.000 --> 1:14:33.479
<v Speaker 3>a website.

1:14:34.840 --> 1:14:37.280
<v Speaker 4>It's right now, it is about to launch. It's a

1:14:37.320 --> 1:14:38.920
<v Speaker 4>soft launch right now we're talking about it. You know

1:14:39.000 --> 1:14:41.560
<v Speaker 4>it is go download it, definitely, but and it is

1:14:41.640 --> 1:14:43.880
<v Speaker 4>free to download, same thing as cash paper, all of that,

1:14:44.479 --> 1:14:46.320
<v Speaker 4>and it does all of the same things. And you

1:14:46.439 --> 1:14:48.880
<v Speaker 4>also are able to invest in bitcoin. You're able to

1:14:48.920 --> 1:14:50.880
<v Speaker 4>have your digital wallet, all the same stuff that you

1:14:51.520 --> 1:14:53.600
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, no, it's it's legit, y'all. Definitely got to

1:14:53.640 --> 1:14:56.760
<v Speaker 4>check it out, Maneah, when it drops, let us when

1:14:56.800 --> 1:14:58.040
<v Speaker 4>it officially drops, let us know.

1:14:58.120 --> 1:14:58.320
<v Speaker 3>And we.

1:15:00.080 --> 1:15:00.240
<v Speaker 4>Sure.

1:15:01.160 --> 1:15:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of crypto, I've seen you spoke about crypto a lot.

1:15:04.880 --> 1:15:07.439
<v Speaker 2>What are your thoughts on on crypto? We have in

1:15:07.520 --> 1:15:10.160
<v Speaker 2>my mind, I'll had some some some experiences with our

1:15:10.240 --> 1:15:10.960
<v Speaker 2>own crypto.

1:15:11.040 --> 1:15:12.519
<v Speaker 3>You kind of talked about we got to find some

1:15:12.640 --> 1:15:14.639
<v Speaker 3>new currencies, and I'm like, all right, well, what's what's

1:15:14.640 --> 1:15:15.439
<v Speaker 3>your thoughts on crypto?

1:15:16.240 --> 1:15:17.840
<v Speaker 4>Well, first of all, there's so many of them, man,

1:15:18.439 --> 1:15:20.840
<v Speaker 4>And now I mean it started with one uh and

1:15:20.920 --> 1:15:24.080
<v Speaker 4>from understanding, was created by a Japanese man who goes

1:15:24.160 --> 1:15:27.040
<v Speaker 4>under another alias so that he wouldn't be tracked and traced.

1:15:27.280 --> 1:15:33.719
<v Speaker 4>Because this is something that this guy.

1:15:35.520 --> 1:15:37.280
<v Speaker 3>Ud never get your name right, and now he got

1:15:37.360 --> 1:15:37.680
<v Speaker 3>that one.

1:15:39.160 --> 1:15:42.080
<v Speaker 4>But it's it's it's a trip man, because now you're

1:15:42.080 --> 1:15:45.640
<v Speaker 4>looking at a currency that is universal, that can be

1:15:45.720 --> 1:15:46.799
<v Speaker 4>used virtually anywhere.

1:15:47.240 --> 1:15:50.280
<v Speaker 3>That is a very dangerous thing for game changes.

1:15:50.360 --> 1:15:51.960
<v Speaker 4>Oh that's a game change because it's like wait, wait wait.

1:15:52.080 --> 1:15:54.040
<v Speaker 4>And in America there are certain places where have a

1:15:54.160 --> 1:15:59.160
<v Speaker 4>teams now Las Vegas, Atlanta, Atlanta. So it's like it's legit,

1:15:59.560 --> 1:16:02.719
<v Speaker 4>it's real. When it first started, you know, ten twenty

1:16:02.840 --> 1:16:04.760
<v Speaker 4>years ago, I believe a little over ten years ago,

1:16:04.880 --> 1:16:06.800
<v Speaker 4>people were investing in it. The big coins were like

1:16:06.840 --> 1:16:08.960
<v Speaker 4>I think a dollar. Some of them were like thirty

1:16:09.000 --> 1:16:12.040
<v Speaker 4>forty cents, maybe two or three dollars. People who invested

1:16:12.080 --> 1:16:13.960
<v Speaker 4>in that ten years ago are millionaires.

1:16:14.000 --> 1:16:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Now there's a guy you're you know the pizza story. Yeah,

1:16:17.600 --> 1:16:19.679
<v Speaker 2>so there's a guy Thabay. It's not familiar. When bitcoin

1:16:19.720 --> 1:16:21.880
<v Speaker 2>first came out, this guy he was like just testing

1:16:21.960 --> 1:16:25.000
<v Speaker 2>out bitcoin and it was a pizza rea and he

1:16:25.120 --> 1:16:28.559
<v Speaker 2>exchanged with the equivalent. He brought a slice of pizza

1:16:28.680 --> 1:16:31.880
<v Speaker 2>with I think the amount of bitcoin that he had

1:16:32.040 --> 1:16:34.639
<v Speaker 2>now I think would have been worth like eighteen million dollars.

1:16:34.400 --> 1:16:36.799
<v Speaker 3>Something like that, eighteen eighteen million dollars.

1:16:36.640 --> 1:16:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Eighteen million dollars pizza pot. So that's uh wow, talk

1:16:41.200 --> 1:16:43.800
<v Speaker 2>about a mistake. But it's crazy because bitcoin. We've talked

1:16:43.800 --> 1:16:46.600
<v Speaker 2>about bitcoin on the platform before, but it's one of

1:16:46.680 --> 1:16:50.000
<v Speaker 2>these things that's quietly creeping. It's almost that like twelve thousand.

1:16:50.120 --> 1:16:51.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, definitely was over eleven.

1:16:52.120 --> 1:16:55.360
<v Speaker 2>It peaked at twelve twenty thousand years ago, and then

1:16:55.439 --> 1:16:57.320
<v Speaker 2>he crashed and then he got lower as like thirty

1:16:57.360 --> 1:16:59.840
<v Speaker 2>seven hundred a few months ago. But now it's like

1:17:00.160 --> 1:17:02.840
<v Speaker 2>rising like upwards of close to twelve thousand.

1:17:02.600 --> 1:17:06.560
<v Speaker 4>On the law. Nobody's watching, nobody's even talking about it.

1:17:07.320 --> 1:17:08.880
<v Speaker 4>And that's why we have to you know, when I

1:17:09.000 --> 1:17:11.240
<v Speaker 4>when I talk about it, and there are different forms

1:17:11.280 --> 1:17:12.479
<v Speaker 4>of it. That's the main thing people have to know.

1:17:12.560 --> 1:17:15.320
<v Speaker 4>There are so many different forms of so many different names,

1:17:15.360 --> 1:17:20.000
<v Speaker 4>et cetera. Be mindful, be educated, get with people who

1:17:20.000 --> 1:17:23.519
<v Speaker 4>are experienced in that. That's you can lose everything. You

1:17:23.600 --> 1:17:25.839
<v Speaker 4>can buy this and it's gone tomorrow.

1:17:26.720 --> 1:17:28.920
<v Speaker 3>We are we are proponents of that. And like we

1:17:28.960 --> 1:17:30.960
<v Speaker 3>tell everybody the other time, we have lost money. We've

1:17:31.040 --> 1:17:33.840
<v Speaker 3>literally lost money. Like we we try to make a

1:17:33.880 --> 1:17:36.920
<v Speaker 3>trade and it disappeared to send it to the wrong

1:17:37.200 --> 1:17:41.760
<v Speaker 3>address and disappeared. Like literally, it's in crypto space.

1:17:42.960 --> 1:17:45.240
<v Speaker 4>That kind of stuff happens to Yeah, just be again,

1:17:45.320 --> 1:17:49.120
<v Speaker 4>be careful, be mindful. Have somebody who's experienced, really experienced,

1:17:49.160 --> 1:17:52.000
<v Speaker 4>successfully experienced, and then work with them and then start

1:17:52.120 --> 1:17:56.920
<v Speaker 4>start low. Don't be don't toss your whole damns my savings.

1:17:57.320 --> 1:18:00.240
<v Speaker 3>Do not just go. Yeah, and that's what you you

1:18:00.760 --> 1:18:02.880
<v Speaker 3>are willing to lose. Exactly when I knew that it

1:18:03.000 --> 1:18:06.560
<v Speaker 3>was real, and I forget the CEO of Ripple, but

1:18:06.640 --> 1:18:08.160
<v Speaker 3>they had asked him this question. He was like, yo,

1:18:08.240 --> 1:18:11.120
<v Speaker 3>what's the fastest way to get money from San Francisco

1:18:11.200 --> 1:18:13.960
<v Speaker 3>to London? And somebody said a wire transfer them It

1:18:14.080 --> 1:18:16.639
<v Speaker 3>was like nope, it's going to take two to three days.

1:18:16.720 --> 1:18:18.160
<v Speaker 3>They like, put it through the bank. They were like, no,

1:18:18.360 --> 1:18:21.439
<v Speaker 3>that type of money doing like over two hundred thousand's

1:18:21.439 --> 1:18:23.720
<v Speaker 3>going to take seven to ten. And he's like, you know,

1:18:23.800 --> 1:18:26.000
<v Speaker 3>the fastest way, get on a plane with two hundred

1:18:26.000 --> 1:18:28.680
<v Speaker 3>and fifty thousand and go to London. That's the fastest way.

1:18:28.760 --> 1:18:30.560
<v Speaker 3>That's real, and that's why we have cryptocurrency.

1:18:30.720 --> 1:18:34.760
<v Speaker 4>That's real, that's real. You see in mind, you see people,

1:18:34.840 --> 1:18:36.640
<v Speaker 4>are you gotta understand this when it comes to the

1:18:36.680 --> 1:18:39.920
<v Speaker 4>physical money and the crypto again, be smart about both.

1:18:40.360 --> 1:18:42.360
<v Speaker 4>The gold you gotta look at it again because we

1:18:42.479 --> 1:18:44.880
<v Speaker 4>see gold is rising. The silver coins of pre nineteen

1:18:44.920 --> 1:18:47.240
<v Speaker 4>thirty three silver coins, you gotta look at those. You know,

1:18:47.360 --> 1:18:50.519
<v Speaker 4>there are different things that you have to look at because,

1:18:50.960 --> 1:18:52.800
<v Speaker 4>as I said, the American dollar is going down. So

1:18:52.920 --> 1:18:55.680
<v Speaker 4>because of that, now you're forced. We're forced to look

1:18:55.680 --> 1:18:57.240
<v Speaker 4>at other forms of currency. We just have to be

1:18:57.280 --> 1:18:59.479
<v Speaker 4>smart about which ones we choose and how much we

1:18:59.600 --> 1:19:02.200
<v Speaker 4>invest in each one. You know, whichever one has been

1:19:02.320 --> 1:19:04.840
<v Speaker 4>seen to be the most valuable, the most solid, the

1:19:04.920 --> 1:19:08.360
<v Speaker 4>longest record. Gold never's gonna lose value, right, that's the

1:19:08.400 --> 1:19:11.400
<v Speaker 4>physical asset, good silver, et cetera. And whatever other ones

1:19:11.439 --> 1:19:14.000
<v Speaker 4>that you have seen that have that type of longevity.

1:19:14.160 --> 1:19:15.559
<v Speaker 4>Those are the ones you want to stick with first.

1:19:15.600 --> 1:19:17.240
<v Speaker 4>And then of course you can look at the other

1:19:17.320 --> 1:19:19.599
<v Speaker 4>forms of currency. You liveing in Africa, they check those out.

1:19:19.600 --> 1:19:22.040
<v Speaker 4>You're living in Mexico, you're living in wherever. Look at

1:19:22.080 --> 1:19:24.680
<v Speaker 4>how you can invest in transfer into those. When I

1:19:24.760 --> 1:19:27.240
<v Speaker 4>went to China, I didn't know that I was supposed

1:19:27.240 --> 1:19:30.560
<v Speaker 4>to go to the currency exchange area in the international

1:19:30.680 --> 1:19:32.519
<v Speaker 4>termin of the airport. I didn't know I was supposed

1:19:32.520 --> 1:19:34.080
<v Speaker 4>to give them my like two three hundred bucks there

1:19:34.120 --> 1:19:35.760
<v Speaker 4>and then they'll give me back the currency, you know,

1:19:35.840 --> 1:19:37.880
<v Speaker 4>Chinese currency. I know that I'm on a plane, like

1:19:37.880 --> 1:19:40.400
<v Speaker 4>four hundred dollars in American currency. I get out there China,

1:19:40.400 --> 1:19:43.559
<v Speaker 4>I'm trying to buy some food and they're like looking

1:19:43.560 --> 1:19:45.280
<v Speaker 4>at me, like they look at you crazy.

1:19:45.320 --> 1:19:47.800
<v Speaker 3>Your money's no good here man.

1:19:47.880 --> 1:19:50.200
<v Speaker 4>That's when I said, oh, I get it now, Okay.

1:19:50.280 --> 1:19:52.639
<v Speaker 4>See when you leave the country, you feel it. It's

1:19:52.680 --> 1:19:57.160
<v Speaker 4>a big difference, especially like America's dollars is not accepted everywhere.

1:19:57.320 --> 1:20:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, China, Europe because it's strongly Europe is stronger.

1:20:01.320 --> 1:20:02.880
<v Speaker 4>Even in Europe. It is crazy because I was in

1:20:02.960 --> 1:20:04.960
<v Speaker 4>Europe and I was in France.

1:20:05.360 --> 1:20:07.040
<v Speaker 2>I tried to use an American dollar and they was

1:20:07.040 --> 1:20:08.760
<v Speaker 2>looking at me like I was crazy, like because it's

1:20:08.840 --> 1:20:10.280
<v Speaker 2>less worse than the euro.

1:20:10.760 --> 1:20:11.839
<v Speaker 4>So I had to get euros.

1:20:12.000 --> 1:20:14.720
<v Speaker 2>And then I went to London too, and then I

1:20:14.840 --> 1:20:16.920
<v Speaker 2>tried to use the euro and London and they looked

1:20:16.960 --> 1:20:19.400
<v Speaker 2>at me like I was crazy because the euro's worth

1:20:19.479 --> 1:20:20.240
<v Speaker 2>less than the pound.

1:20:20.320 --> 1:20:23.000
<v Speaker 4>Come on, so it's like, yes, it's a real thing.

1:20:23.080 --> 1:20:25.160
<v Speaker 4>You got to research it, and especially if you want

1:20:25.200 --> 1:20:27.479
<v Speaker 4>to travel, if you want to leave the country, you

1:20:27.680 --> 1:20:30.880
<v Speaker 4>have to understand, Okay, America's dollar is worth a dollar here,

1:20:31.760 --> 1:20:34.040
<v Speaker 4>one of the euros or is worth half a year. Okay,

1:20:34.040 --> 1:20:35.880
<v Speaker 4>so I need two American dollars for one year too,

1:20:35.920 --> 1:20:37.880
<v Speaker 4>you know, for example, then you have to look at, Okay,

1:20:37.880 --> 1:20:39.920
<v Speaker 4>how much money do I have to bring out there

1:20:40.040 --> 1:20:42.200
<v Speaker 4>to actually make the equivalent of what I think is

1:20:42.200 --> 1:20:44.200
<v Speaker 4>gonna be worth out here. You know, there's a lot

1:20:44.280 --> 1:20:46.600
<v Speaker 4>to understand, you know, But but we really do have

1:20:46.640 --> 1:20:48.439
<v Speaker 4>to look at other forms of currency, is my point.

1:20:48.479 --> 1:20:49.720
<v Speaker 4>We have to look at it like we don't have

1:20:49.800 --> 1:20:52.160
<v Speaker 4>a choice. Look at silver, look at gold, and again

1:20:52.560 --> 1:20:56.519
<v Speaker 4>different forms of bitcoin have experts or get training. That's

1:20:56.520 --> 1:20:57.960
<v Speaker 4>something that we're going to launch as well when it

1:20:58.000 --> 1:21:00.280
<v Speaker 4>comes to that in online academy for people to be

1:21:00.320 --> 1:21:03.360
<v Speaker 4>able to take trainings in those areas, because that's what

1:21:03.520 --> 1:21:05.360
<v Speaker 4>we need to learn. That that was what was real estate,

1:21:05.439 --> 1:21:07.479
<v Speaker 4>et cetera. But it's really that time, bro, So we

1:21:07.520 --> 1:21:08.719
<v Speaker 4>have to look at other forms of currency.

1:21:08.920 --> 1:21:12.080
<v Speaker 2>So message to the millennials, can you talk about can

1:21:12.120 --> 1:21:16.120
<v Speaker 2>you talk about the book and what it entails and yeah,

1:21:16.160 --> 1:21:18.839
<v Speaker 2>what's the science behind that message to the millennials?

1:21:18.840 --> 1:21:20.439
<v Speaker 4>If you if you flip it over on the back,

1:21:20.520 --> 1:21:25.360
<v Speaker 4>you'll see a picture of myself. You'll see Mostnoblajah Mohammed

1:21:25.439 --> 1:21:28.080
<v Speaker 4>and it's the Fara Khan because this book was inspired

1:21:28.120 --> 1:21:30.320
<v Speaker 4>by message to the black man HM. Okay, the same

1:21:30.360 --> 1:21:32.439
<v Speaker 4>book again that Nip gave to Ti, the same book

1:21:32.479 --> 1:21:34.599
<v Speaker 4>that was that's been read by well over ten million

1:21:34.680 --> 1:21:37.639
<v Speaker 4>people that has sparked the consciousness of millions of people.

1:21:38.120 --> 1:21:41.360
<v Speaker 4>And this one I said, Okay, for this generation, we

1:21:41.560 --> 1:21:45.439
<v Speaker 4>need to know about some of the top topics affecting

1:21:45.560 --> 1:21:47.960
<v Speaker 4>us as a people and then us as a human

1:21:48.040 --> 1:21:50.280
<v Speaker 4>family on the planet. I need to put something in

1:21:50.400 --> 1:21:53.760
<v Speaker 4>a book that if they shut my social media platforms down,

1:21:54.000 --> 1:21:56.080
<v Speaker 4>this will be a guide for this generation to help

1:21:56.160 --> 1:21:58.800
<v Speaker 4>them to navigate through what's going on. That's really what

1:21:58.960 --> 1:22:03.040
<v Speaker 4>I looked at. The tipping point for me was in

1:22:03.320 --> 1:22:07.200
<v Speaker 4>twenty eighteen. I believe are twenty seventeen pardon me, the

1:22:07.360 --> 1:22:11.800
<v Speaker 4>FBI classified black people black youth who are interested in

1:22:12.800 --> 1:22:15.679
<v Speaker 4>loving our people, being passionate, but also who are fearless

1:22:15.760 --> 1:22:18.000
<v Speaker 4>and who will stand up to police brutality. They are

1:22:18.080 --> 1:22:22.840
<v Speaker 4>now labeling us as bies or black identity extremists. It's like,

1:22:22.920 --> 1:22:25.160
<v Speaker 4>wait a minute, so you call it black identity extremists,

1:22:25.200 --> 1:22:28.000
<v Speaker 4>black identity extremists. So they came out with that, which

1:22:28.040 --> 1:22:31.400
<v Speaker 4>is basically cold, a cold term for co Intel Pro

1:22:31.720 --> 1:22:33.880
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty. You know where they're going to try to

1:22:33.880 --> 1:22:37.280
<v Speaker 4>infiltrate the black revolutionary groups and organizations that really are

1:22:37.400 --> 1:22:39.640
<v Speaker 4>us just standing up and saying we demand justice. You know,

1:22:39.680 --> 1:22:41.920
<v Speaker 4>we want freedom, we want equality. We're not trying to

1:22:41.920 --> 1:22:43.720
<v Speaker 4>go out here and kill police and kill white foot like,

1:22:43.800 --> 1:22:46.080
<v Speaker 4>that's not what we are about at all. But if

1:22:46.720 --> 1:22:49.280
<v Speaker 4>the people are to understand what's going on, they need

1:22:49.400 --> 1:22:52.800
<v Speaker 4>to have somebody to give them something specifically in this generation. One,

1:22:52.840 --> 1:22:56.360
<v Speaker 4>the generation doesn't read that much, okay, which it works

1:22:56.400 --> 1:22:58.240
<v Speaker 4>both sides of the brain, so reading is very important.

1:22:58.360 --> 1:23:00.280
<v Speaker 4>But two, I said, I got to give them something

1:23:00.320 --> 1:23:02.160
<v Speaker 4>that's going to go over social media. First of all,

1:23:02.160 --> 1:23:04.000
<v Speaker 4>because I couldn't find a book that was really going

1:23:04.040 --> 1:23:06.439
<v Speaker 4>over heavily social media. Chapter two is in there. The

1:23:06.520 --> 1:23:11.240
<v Speaker 4>book goes over tell live Vision programming. They're telling you lies,

1:23:11.600 --> 1:23:14.120
<v Speaker 4>and they're programming O visually by telling you lies. Okay,

1:23:14.479 --> 1:23:16.439
<v Speaker 4>they got that in there. It goes over some of

1:23:16.520 --> 1:23:20.360
<v Speaker 4>the mind control projects that are established through social media

1:23:20.400 --> 1:23:24.040
<v Speaker 4>and through television, et cetera. It goes over unity and

1:23:24.080 --> 1:23:26.439
<v Speaker 4>pulling our resources, our economics, and it goes over some

1:23:26.520 --> 1:23:32.040
<v Speaker 4>of the cities more than just Tosa, Oklahoma, more than

1:23:32.120 --> 1:23:34.560
<v Speaker 4>just rolls would, more than just central avenues here in

1:23:34.720 --> 1:23:36.439
<v Speaker 4>La More. It goes over a lot of the different

1:23:36.439 --> 1:23:39.200
<v Speaker 4>cities that we owned, where we were thriving, we were flourishing,

1:23:39.520 --> 1:23:41.320
<v Speaker 4>we have business cota. It goes over all of that.

1:23:41.479 --> 1:23:44.280
<v Speaker 4>That's the last chapter, which is talking about pulling our resources,

1:23:44.520 --> 1:23:47.000
<v Speaker 4>establishing our own everything, et cetera. It goes over a

1:23:47.080 --> 1:23:49.680
<v Speaker 4>lot of stuff, bro a lot of stuff that this

1:23:49.800 --> 1:23:52.519
<v Speaker 4>generation needs to know about that they can navigate through

1:23:52.760 --> 1:23:54.840
<v Speaker 4>this system. It's plain and simple. So I said, I

1:23:54.960 --> 1:23:56.800
<v Speaker 4>got to find a way to put it in a

1:23:56.880 --> 1:23:59.599
<v Speaker 4>physical form to get it out of here, because they're

1:23:59.600 --> 1:24:01.960
<v Speaker 4>going to sh shut us down. They're gonna censor us

1:24:01.960 --> 1:24:04.880
<v Speaker 4>at a certain point. Oh yeah, I know, So I know.

1:24:05.000 --> 1:24:06.360
<v Speaker 4>That's the other thing I was looking. I was looking

1:24:06.360 --> 1:24:09.040
<v Speaker 4>at the Congress who are trying to propose a bill

1:24:09.600 --> 1:24:13.559
<v Speaker 4>to censor anyone talking about conspiracy, anyone talking about any

1:24:14.520 --> 1:24:16.400
<v Speaker 4>type of conspiracy. Conspiracy is not a bad word. It

1:24:16.439 --> 1:24:18.880
<v Speaker 4>simply means when two or more groups of people organizations

1:24:18.880 --> 1:24:20.760
<v Speaker 4>are coming together to do something that is evil and

1:24:20.960 --> 1:24:24.320
<v Speaker 4>or wicked. That's what conspiracy means. So that's not bad. Now,

1:24:24.360 --> 1:24:28.040
<v Speaker 4>conspiracy theory is different, but conspiracy is not a bad thing.

1:24:28.120 --> 1:24:30.280
<v Speaker 4>So America's trying to cover herself by saying, we're gonna

1:24:30.280 --> 1:24:32.320
<v Speaker 4>take done all the videos on YouTube, We're gonna take

1:24:32.320 --> 1:24:34.439
<v Speaker 4>down the videos on Facebook, Instagram, et cetera where it's

1:24:34.479 --> 1:24:37.080
<v Speaker 4>talking about what we're actually doing, and we are going

1:24:37.160 --> 1:24:39.479
<v Speaker 4>to censor, which is destroying the freedom of speech, which

1:24:39.520 --> 1:24:42.439
<v Speaker 4>is in the First Amendment freedom of religion, speech, press, petition,

1:24:42.640 --> 1:24:45.080
<v Speaker 4>and assembly. I said, if they do that to this generation,

1:24:45.160 --> 1:24:48.519
<v Speaker 4>which is the social media generation, and we can't access

1:24:49.000 --> 1:24:51.240
<v Speaker 4>the truth entirely from those who are really bringing out

1:24:51.240 --> 1:24:53.960
<v Speaker 4>the facts, then damn it, they're gonna have their their

1:24:54.439 --> 1:24:58.599
<v Speaker 4>information completely sifted in control and they will be mentally manipulated.

1:24:58.640 --> 1:25:00.960
<v Speaker 4>I said, I can't let that happen. To put those

1:25:01.040 --> 1:25:03.519
<v Speaker 4>things in the book, and it has now been called

1:25:03.560 --> 1:25:07.200
<v Speaker 4>the number one handbook for this generation. It's been selling

1:25:07.479 --> 1:25:09.320
<v Speaker 4>very well. It was my first product. I've been doing

1:25:09.360 --> 1:25:11.080
<v Speaker 4>this work in the community, in the streets never had

1:25:11.120 --> 1:25:15.000
<v Speaker 4>any products. I've never been about products. I've been about

1:25:15.040 --> 1:25:16.760
<v Speaker 4>doing the community work. But you know, once you start

1:25:31.240 --> 1:25:33.000
<v Speaker 4>course you click the link my body on Instagram. But

<v Speaker 4>Rea islam dot com. It is not going through Amazon,

1:25:38.479 --> 1:25:43.760
<v Speaker 4>not giving the Derek Gray spoke to us about that.

1:25:44.720 --> 1:25:46.680
<v Speaker 4>Like you said, hire your family and let them do it.

1:25:46.720 --> 1:25:49.519
<v Speaker 4>Like I said, my packages, my my product handlers, my

1:25:49.560 --> 1:25:52.240
<v Speaker 4>product managers, all of them. That's my family. They like

1:25:52.640 --> 1:25:55.560
<v Speaker 4>they are paid to do that a living wage. You

1:25:55.600 --> 1:25:57.080
<v Speaker 4>see what I'm saying, Like, we can do that. And

1:25:57.240 --> 1:25:59.880
<v Speaker 4>so when you when you realize that you're buying this,

1:26:00.080 --> 1:26:02.720
<v Speaker 4>first of all the information that's in here, a lot

1:26:02.800 --> 1:26:05.559
<v Speaker 4>of people. Of course, I go over One major chapter

1:26:05.720 --> 1:26:09.120
<v Speaker 4>is chapter six. It's depopulation. Okay, it goes with genetically

1:26:09.160 --> 1:26:11.559
<v Speaker 4>modified organisms, it goes over vaccines, it goes a lot

1:26:11.600 --> 1:26:13.160
<v Speaker 4>of stuff like that. A lot of the information in

1:26:13.160 --> 1:26:15.400
<v Speaker 4>this book is very heavy information that I broke down

1:26:15.840 --> 1:26:20.880
<v Speaker 4>and as easily understandable ways as possible. But I've had

1:26:20.960 --> 1:26:24.720
<v Speaker 4>certain scientists read this, certain celebrities read this, and they

1:26:24.920 --> 1:26:29.080
<v Speaker 4>hit me and they're like, listen, that's some heavy stuff

1:26:29.160 --> 1:26:31.080
<v Speaker 4>in that book. Like that, that's some really heavy stuff,

1:26:31.080 --> 1:26:32.559
<v Speaker 4>which is why I said, I'm not putting this on Amazon.

1:26:32.560 --> 1:26:35.240
<v Speaker 4>I'll be damned they banned my book off the money

1:26:35.320 --> 1:26:37.200
<v Speaker 4>cut over everyth I'm like, nah, because now there are

1:26:37.240 --> 1:26:39.680
<v Speaker 4>families that rely on this. So people realize that when

1:26:39.680 --> 1:26:42.880
<v Speaker 4>they buy this book, you're getting knowledged, which is totally

1:26:42.960 --> 1:26:45.960
<v Speaker 4>invaluable and it's worth far more than what you purchase for.

1:26:46.080 --> 1:26:48.880
<v Speaker 4>But you're also supporting families too, Black families. You know

1:26:48.960 --> 1:26:51.800
<v Speaker 4>what I'm saying. That's what that's what y'all preach. That's

1:26:51.800 --> 1:26:54.320
<v Speaker 4>what y'all teach. That's what we have to continue to understand.

1:26:54.640 --> 1:26:56.960
<v Speaker 4>Is if there's something of value that is going to

1:26:57.000 --> 1:26:58.880
<v Speaker 4>bring you solutions to help you in your condition, and

1:26:59.000 --> 1:27:01.960
<v Speaker 4>you're helping your people the same time, that's what it's about.

1:27:02.240 --> 1:27:02.920
<v Speaker 4>You see what I'm saying.

1:27:03.000 --> 1:27:04.720
<v Speaker 3>So that's the win win right there, there's a win

1:27:04.760 --> 1:27:06.519
<v Speaker 3>win bro Yes.

1:27:06.400 --> 1:27:10.200
<v Speaker 4>Sir Resa Islam, it's been a pleasure rather been a pleasure.

1:27:10.400 --> 1:27:11.400
<v Speaker 3>This is well worth the wait.

1:27:11.479 --> 1:27:16.479
<v Speaker 4>Man, Man, man, my apologies man, but it's I'm honored again.

1:27:16.960 --> 1:27:19.640
<v Speaker 4>I love the interview, brothers. I love the fact that

1:27:19.760 --> 1:27:23.800
<v Speaker 4>you are educating our people about economics because from Marcus

1:27:23.880 --> 1:27:26.640
<v Speaker 4>Garvey down to Molijah Muhammad even all the way down

1:27:26.680 --> 1:27:29.760
<v Speaker 4>to our brother doctor Claude Anderson with power Nomics. You know,

1:27:30.000 --> 1:27:33.040
<v Speaker 4>we have to take this on and really stop being

1:27:33.439 --> 1:27:35.640
<v Speaker 4>the victim to everything that's going on. We can be

1:27:35.720 --> 1:27:38.040
<v Speaker 4>the ones who create, we can establish, we can build,

1:27:38.040 --> 1:27:39.800
<v Speaker 4>we can do this like it's really not hard. We

1:27:39.840 --> 1:27:41.640
<v Speaker 4>can't actually do so. I appreciate you brothers doing what

1:27:41.680 --> 1:27:43.760
<v Speaker 4>you're doing because I've been watching your network and y'all

1:27:43.800 --> 1:27:46.479
<v Speaker 4>be considered. I appreciate it, y'ad appreciate that.

1:27:47.240 --> 1:27:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Any any last words you want to leave the people,

1:27:49.680 --> 1:27:52.799
<v Speaker 2>how can they follow you on your social media, hands,

1:27:52.840 --> 1:27:53.880
<v Speaker 2>website and all that stuff.

1:27:54.000 --> 1:27:56.880
<v Speaker 4>Yes, sir, everything is under Resa Islam. Everything's on the

1:27:56.920 --> 1:27:59.920
<v Speaker 4>Resa Islam until it gets shut down, hopefully not, and

1:28:00.560 --> 1:28:02.080
<v Speaker 4>if they try to shut it down, I'm going to

1:28:02.120 --> 1:28:04.599
<v Speaker 4>be on other independent apps as well, and I'm serious

1:28:04.600 --> 1:28:06.240
<v Speaker 4>about that. But you know, it is what it is.

1:28:07.520 --> 1:28:09.800
<v Speaker 4>Continue to learn. Family. I just say that, continue to learn.

1:28:09.880 --> 1:28:12.800
<v Speaker 4>Don't be afraid pull your resources. Don't think that you

1:28:12.960 --> 1:28:14.919
<v Speaker 4>need to have a lot of money to be independent.

1:28:14.960 --> 1:28:16.840
<v Speaker 4>Don't think you need to continue to work for somebody.

1:28:16.880 --> 1:28:19.040
<v Speaker 4>When you can establish your own and do something for yourself.

1:28:19.360 --> 1:28:22.160
<v Speaker 4>You can come together as a group, your family, your friends,

1:28:22.240 --> 1:28:24.240
<v Speaker 4>the you know, like I said, whatever hood you're from,

1:28:24.439 --> 1:28:28.000
<v Speaker 4>and establish something, find the need, see the need of

1:28:28.040 --> 1:28:30.439
<v Speaker 4>the people, and provide a solution for it. It's real simple.

1:28:30.479 --> 1:28:32.120
<v Speaker 4>That's why you see the young brothers selling water on

1:28:32.160 --> 1:28:35.839
<v Speaker 4>the corners. You see people selling food, candy masks. Now everybody,

1:28:35.880 --> 1:28:38.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, they'd.

1:28:37.560 --> 1:28:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Find a way.

1:28:38.160 --> 1:28:41.200
<v Speaker 4>We won't find our economic kingpins, you know when we

1:28:41.240 --> 1:28:44.080
<v Speaker 4>want to like to do it. So just see the

1:28:44.160 --> 1:28:46.920
<v Speaker 4>need of the people and find a solution for it.

1:28:47.320 --> 1:28:49.519
<v Speaker 4>And you can make money off of helping your people

1:28:49.560 --> 1:28:52.479
<v Speaker 4>with something that they actually need. So don't think too

1:28:52.600 --> 1:28:55.160
<v Speaker 4>much about it. Really look at five things that you

1:28:55.240 --> 1:28:58.759
<v Speaker 4>can establish and bring your people together. Your family, your colleades, friends,

1:28:58.880 --> 1:29:01.720
<v Speaker 4>et cetera. And yeah, man, let's let's really come up

1:29:01.720 --> 1:29:03.719
