00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 4: Y'all.

6
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: This is episode eighty five of Native Lampod, where we

7
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: give you our breakdown on all things politics and culture.

8
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: Where your hosts, unless say, changed from last week, Tiffany Cross.

9
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 3: Angela Rode, and I'm Andrew Gillan. What's up, y'all?

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 5: Ag Andrew, what are we talking about today?

11
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 4: Well?

12
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 3: Great question.

13
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: I will yield to you first what you want to

14
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: what you want to talk about?

15
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 6: Okay.

16
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 5: I am a little nervous about what's happening in Iran,

17
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 5: but not so much about what's happening there. I'm really

18
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 5: curious about how it impacts us. So, like, what happens

19
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 5: if you know, a nuke hits the United States, or

20
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 5: or what happens if it's just the fall of society

21
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 5: and government is not functioning. How will we survive? And

22
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 5: I'm interested in that because Angela, I'm at the state

23
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 5: of the people who are had a whole simulation around

24
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 5: what would happen, and I haven't been able to stop

25
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 5: thinking about it.

26
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: Interesting, Angela, what's up?

27
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 4: Well?

28
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 7: I want to make sure that I give you all

29
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 7: the video that we can drop on this show, by

30
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 7: the way, from that simulation. But I also I want

31
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 7: to talk about survival skills. I know we have a

32
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 7: guest joining us to talk about just that, and it

33
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 7: feels very urgent to me that we're a little unprepared.

34
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 7: I don't know if it's my homeland security background or what,

35
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 7: but you go to Ready dot gov right now and

36
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 7: they've even taken down a national Infrastructure security report that

37
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 7: we would normally go to to rely on for what

38
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 7: happens if the electric group is attacked.

39
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 3: Well, then I watch all to survive.

40
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: Finally, y'all, I think I love for us to just

41
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: get a little conversation going about what happened this week

42
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: in New York's very important race for mayor. So let's

43
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: get into it. Well, y'all heard what we're talking about today.

44
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: But before we get going, we want to remind you

45
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: that if you like this show and you want to

46
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: show us some support, the easiest way is to give

47
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: us a rating, leave a comment, text an episode to

48
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,200

Speaker 5: hear from him.

60
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 8: Hated of Lamb folks is Ernest Champelle. Once again, I'm

61
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 8: inside today, so it's not gonna be loud and noisy

62
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 8: like you guys clown me on before. But anyway, just

63
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 8: want to make a comment about why it's important that

64
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 8: black people are concerned about Iran, Israel and now the

65
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 8: United States war.

66
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 4: You remember.

67
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 8: World War two. That war was fought in Europe, but

68
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 8: when the United States got pulled into it, hundreds of

69
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 8: thousands of black gis and clean. Both my grandfathers and

70
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 8: a great uncle, and I'm sure you guys have relatives

71
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 8: who were in the war got drawn into it, they

72
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 8: got drafted into it. They had to go fight. It's

73
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 8: fast forward to the Vietnam War and the Korean War.

74
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 8: Black people had to go fight. Let's fast forward again

75
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 8: and the Iraq War, and once again, young brothers had

76
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 8: to go fight. And I remember living in Washington, d C.

77
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 8: Near the old Walter Reed and I would see soldiers

78
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 8: coming back who lost their legs, and these young men

79
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 8: were mad and angry, and so a lot of people like, well,

80
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 8: you know, I got to deal with issues in here

81
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 8: in America, but you got to understand everything's related, especially

82
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 8: when it comes to economics. So get ready for gas

83
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 8: prices to go up, because the Iranians are gonna cut

84
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 8: off the Spicott and whatever oil's passing through that straight

85
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 8: up horror moves is gonna get stuck because you've got

86
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 8: all this fighting.

87
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 5: Ernest, well, thank you for that, and we thank you

88
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 5: for being inside. We clowned you with with love, my

89
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 5: brother the.

90
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 6: Same way in the middle of our intro.

91
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,239
Speaker 5: We we uh yes, and we we are so grateful

92
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 5: that you take the time, want to listen to us

93
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 5: every week, but also to drop a video and uh

94
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 5: offer your questions and commentary. And that's such a good

95
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 5: point that he made, because should Congress and the President

96
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 5: reinstate the military draft, our boys would would be at

97
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 5: risk first, and so you know could at bone spurs

98
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 5: as we know did not. He was a dodge or

99
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 5: draft dodger. Uh and Donald Trump, but he is all

100
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 5: too willing to put us in a position to have

101
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 5: our boys go and fight an award that they did

102
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 5: not start. So thank you, thank you for that perspective.

103
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 5: This is why we like having conversation with our viewers

104
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 5: and we love hearing your points. Andrew. I'm concerned because

105
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 5: the last time we were all together, the United States

106
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 5: had not bombed Iran the Foord, Oh site. Now we

107
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 5: understand that we have not even really disrupted their nuclear process.

108
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 5: So at this point I am thinking about That's why

109
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 5: at the State of the People tour in Baltimore, one

110
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 5: of my favorite parts, we were just walking through a

111
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 5: group of us me Joy read the Mario Solomon Simmons.

112
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 5: We were just walking through and Michael Harriet and his

113
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 5: wife Karen and Angela said, do you guys even know

114
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 5: what you're walking through? We were like, no, what is this?

115
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 5: It was like just shells with empty food, and it

116
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 5: was an entire simulation of what happens should society fall,

117
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 5: and Iran is not the only way that society can

118
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 5: fall if a nuke gets If we get hit by

119
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 5: a nuke, the coastal cities are done. All of us

120
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 5: live in coastal cities, and so you might have a

121
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 5: situation where it's just Middle America that's left. There's no

122
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 5: functioning government. What does that look like? So I'm a

123
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 5: little nervous about it.

124
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 3: I don't know.

125
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 5: I want to hear from Andrew, but Angela, I want

126
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 5: to hear from you because you were talking about in

127
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 5: our pre production call some five point plan or five

128
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 5: action plan or something. So I'm just curious what y'all

129
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 5: think about all of that, and how nervous y'all are.

130
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 6: Andrew, are you going?

131
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 3: I thought you okay, whomever you go.

132
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 7: Okay, Andrew sink is Lencoln, so I would just say yeah.

133
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 6: So I was just like, you know, just in case

134
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 6: in case of christ.

135
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: I got the issues out of order I was taking,

136
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: So you go, okay.

137
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 6: No worries.

138
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 7: So what we did in Baltimore was create like what

139
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 7: is commonly been known as tabletop exercises or I was

140
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 7: calling it a five points activation. And the reason we

141
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 7: did this is to ensure that our folks could get

142
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 7: ready again. We spend a lot of time telling people

143
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 7: all of the things that can happen, and you know,

144
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 7: all of the crises that we are just write one

145
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 7: step away from experiencing, but not a lot of time

146
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 7: on how we prepare for them.

147
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 6: So all of this is inevitable.

148
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 7: It seems to me that our most reasonable service is

149
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 7: getting people, at least prime to think about how they

150
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 7: would respond. So our first activation point was a store,

151
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 7: a convenience store where there was nothing left on the

152
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 7: shelves and they were in the middle of a food

153
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 7: and water supply shortage. How do you respond if there's

154
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 7: no food on the shelves, and even in the convenience store,

155
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 7: y'all know that, Like if you can't find nothing else,

156
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 7: that's seven eleven my head. At toilet paper, you're looking

157
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 7: for people experienced that during the pandemic. So if you

158
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 7: go there and there's nothing, now, what do you do

159
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 7: you know? Do you know about the black vendor that

160
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 7: sells toilet paper? Can you order a in bulk? Do

161
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 7: you know about the folks down the street that have

162
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 7: a natural spring and you can get bottled spring water.

163
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 7: Do you know about the local black farmers that produce

164
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 7: different types of crops and produce and you know all

165
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 7: of these things? Do you know about them? Are you

166
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 7: connected to them? The second point was whe where the

167
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 7: electric grid was attacked and power had been out for

168
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 7: thirty days, we had someone acting. Eugene was acting. Even

169
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 7: the battery operated candles, like people will be like, oh, well,

170
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 7: I'll be good because I have these candles. What happens

171
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 7: if you don't have to write batteries?

172
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 6: You know? What are you going to eat?

173
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 7: Do you have the type of meals where you can

174
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 7: put mix it with hot water and you now have

175
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 7: meals for.

176
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 6: A little while? Do you have enough bottled water?

177
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 4: Like?

178
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 6: What are all those things?

179
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 7: The third point was if the cell phone towers are

180
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 7: down completely and there's no internet either. We rely on

181
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 7: these things so that we can organize ourselves around this.

182
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 6: I can call my parents.

183
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 7: Don't worry if I can't drive because the power goes

184
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 7: out in my car it's stuck in the garage, I'll

185
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 7: call it uper.

186
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 6: Are you whose number do you read?

187
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 5: Do you even remember? Like I don't remember a lot

188
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 5: of people's numbers anymore. When we remember a week of

189
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 5: dial right, right.

190
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 6: That's it? So whose numbers do you know by heart?

191
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 6: If you can't?

192
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 7: If you have those phone numbers but the cell phone

193
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 7: towers are down, do you have a satellite phone?

194
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 6: Did you know about satellite phones?

195
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 4: Right?

196
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 7: The next bunker or the next activation was a bunker.

197
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 7: If there's a white supremacist attack like the J sixers,

198
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 7: who are basically running the country at this point, attack

199
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 7: black folks just like they're doing or wearing random ice

200
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 7: where uniforms. You don't even know if these are actual

201
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 7: ice officers. What happens if the attack comes to your

202
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 7: front door or at least on your block. Are you prepared?

203
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 7: Do you know how to defend yourselves? Do you have

204
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 7: the tools necessary to defend yourselves? The final activation point,

205
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 7: which I thought was the most scary, and we're starting

206
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 7: to see it become more and more real every day,

207
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 7: is the ice holding facility and officers were grabbing people

208
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 7: off the line as they came through and zip tying

209
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 7: them and sitting them along the floor. We had a

210
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 7: surveillance that and what happens. There was a recording that said,

211
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 7: you're at an ice holding facility, you don't have any rights.

212
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 7: You don't have a call you can make. You can't

213
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 7: call your lawyer. Bathroom breaks are at nine am and

214
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 7: five pm, and we'll give you water when we have it.

215
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 7: There's no food right now. How do you respond in

216
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 7: an environment like that? How do you know to get

217
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 7: your folks out? Do you know where to find them?

218
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 7: Is there some what is the thing that we put

219
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 7: together to ensure that from dread Scott the deportation?

220
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 6: As LDF said right, that we actually.

221
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 7: Have some type of protection of our citizenship ship which

222
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 7: is hanging in the balance right now.

223
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, so those are the part points. That's amazing. I'm

224
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 5: scared again, but that's amazing.

225
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 7: Well, the idea is not to scary the ideas to

226
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 7: force us in the conversations where we think about how

227
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 7: we solve for them.

228
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 6: They are scary. Tip, I'm not gonna lie to you.

229
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 7: But for me, the one thing that gave me solace

230
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 7: besides the ice one which is really scary and I

231
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 7: don't have a saft for it.

232
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 6: We do have.

233
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 7: Answers for most of those. They're expensive too, you know,

234
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 7: like can we have it? Can we all pull together

235
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 7: by a generator if if you know, if the electric

236
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 7: grid goes out can we do that?

237
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 5: So anyway, well, Andrew doesn't have a sink right now,

238
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 5: so what I'm curious.

239
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 6: How are you.

240
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 3: Gyard?

241
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 5: And you know I don't have buterations though, because you

242
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 5: have three children, you have a wife, and to be

243
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 5: honest with you, look forgive me feminists if this sounds sexist,

244
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 5: but truly, if there is a man around, we all

245
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 5: look into you like you got to figure out. I'm

246
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 5: gonna take care of myself. But I wouldn't be if

247
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 5: I was at your house, Andrew, I would be looking

248
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 5: at you. You have to figure out how to get

249
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 5: us out of here safely, and then your whole family

250
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 5: is gonna be looking to you in that moment, Daddy

251
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 5: and husband, what's your plan for us to get out

252
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 5: of here safely?

253
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: And as we know, we've all got lots of friends

254
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: single and otherwise that you know you had a household,

255
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: you got to care for the whole thing.

256
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 3: I was just trying to explain to my.

257
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: Kids how uh they have to set the example when

258
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: their friends come over for how to treat our home,

259
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: because if you don't know how to take care of

260
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: your home and set the expectation that if you drop

261
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: a thing that's food on the floor, you should pick

262
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: it up immediately because we don't want that squished into

263
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: the wood floor of our home, you know, to take

264
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: some pride in that, but to take that to its

265
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: logical extension, we do have to be prepared.

266
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 3: What I was thinking about when I.

267
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: Was listening to some of the scenario playing is that

268
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: it doesn't require a war for us to get to

269
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: the point where we have to rely on these things.

270
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I live in Florida.

271
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 3: We deal with hurricanes.

272
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: I mean it feels like, you know, year round, and

273
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: in some ways it's many years round because you know,

274
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: in some instances you're three four years later still trying

275
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: to recover from a storm that that affected your home

276
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: back then. And yes, crises also show up. But I

277
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: think this is important and this is why our guests

278
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: who will be bringing on a few I think is

279
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: going to be relevant for our audience, and that is

280
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: you just never know. And in the context of war,

281
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: when we are seeing nations and nation states move away

282
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: from you know, wars showing up in the form of

283
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: military troops, you know, landing and disembarking and walking down streets,

284
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: that's gonna be our home front issue visa ve look

285
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: at what we see happening under this president in California

286
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,119
Speaker 1: and elsewhere.

287
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 3: But when you deal with players that.

288
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: Are not as let's say vast as the United States

289
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: with regard to as military capacity, there are many of

290
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: them are going to the systems that disrupt the things

291
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: that we rely on every single day. So what happens

292
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: if through the push of a button over the internet

293
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: from anywhere, someone can shut your grid down, someone can

294
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: contaminate your water system where you live, someone can decide

295
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: that they're going to play with the lights at this

296
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: intersection and that intersection and turn out the whole city.

297
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: What it is that we do to to to survive that?

298
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: Because when it gets real real, y'all, and this is

299
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: really what the power of that kind of warfare suggests,

300
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: is that their intention is to turn people against people.

301
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: So you take away people's food for long enough, we

302
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: become pretty much a pariah, and they are going to

303
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: survive for ourselves and for our families. And when it

304
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,359
Speaker 1: gets even more scarce, even deadlier, and more harmful, decisions

305
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: start to get made. Because what do we all know

306
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: to be the truth at the base of all humanity,

307
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: and that is that a man wants to survive, the

308
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: body is built to do such a thing, and you'll

309
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: you'll do whatever is required in order to survive. So

310
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: looking forward to looking forward to that, that that conversation.

311
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 5: All right, it's time to pay some bills. Don't go anywhere, guys,

312
00:14:50,120 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 5: We'll be right back on the other side of his break. Well,

313
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 5: I just I want to say quickly because I want

314
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 5: to talk about the mayoral race really quickly. But I

315
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 5: just want to say, during the Holocaust, like you had

316
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 5: older people snatching food from babies because it was this

317
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 5: primitive survival instincts that kicked in that you needed to eat.

318
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 5: I am down here in one of those black towns

319
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 5: I told you all about, at the home of Michael Harriet.

320
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 5: And when I tell you, guys like his whole setup,

321
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 5: like they are growing. They're on to Angela's everything. Angela

322
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 5: was saying, I was thinking, I feel so safe right now.

323
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 5: If something happened right now, we do have all the

324
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 5: things Angela talked about there. It sits on twenty two

325
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 5: acres of land. There are multiple gardens, so we could survive,

326
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 5: sustain ourselves. Here, I'm saying, we like I live with

327
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 5: Michael inn. But we have literally I'm hiding things here

328
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 5: so I don't have to pack them every time I come,

329
00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 5: but they get there. And that's another thing. If you

330
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 5: have to flee your area and airports are down, everybody's

331
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 5: going to be on the train tracks, everybody's going to

332
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 5: be on the highway. Are you the kind of person

333
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 5: that builds community, community or you the kind of person

334
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 5: that fights for your own individual survival? I think I'm

335
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 5: the kind of person. I know I'm the kind of

336
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 5: person who would build community. You're welcome to walk with us.

337
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 5: But being here, they are pretty much off the grid.

338
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 5: The house runs on well water. They're growing potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, everything.

339
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 5: This house is well protected. I'll say that because I

340
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 5: don't know if Michael harry One means a lot of

341
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 5: his business, but it's well protected like we would all be.

342
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: When we talk with our guests, that we can dig

343
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: into what are the advantages for those folks who aren't

344
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: living in more ruralized areas and still want to survive,

345
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: but they don't have the land to grow their own.

346
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 5: They need blocks from the White House. Andrews, right, I

347
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 5: know you know very well. I don't know if I

348
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 5: feel safer there or do I say, like more of

349
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 5: a target, you know? And I can't because in DC,

350
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 5: you all know you will see snipers on the roof.

351
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 5: That's not that's normal, you know, because like, oh, a

352
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 5: dignitary is probably coming down this street today, and you

353
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 5: know clearly that's the secret service, you know, Will Iranians

354
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 5: or not? I don't want to depend on Iranians. Will

355
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 5: any enemy say I'm going to try to take out

356
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 5: this white house and like Calisi, who cares who's in

357
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 5: the surrounding area? Or will it be a bunch of

358
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 5: sleeper cells awakened and individuals committing random acts of violence

359
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 5: and trying to be prepared for both? And I live alone,

360
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 5: so you know, getting plans of action among our social groups.

361
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 5: If the network is down, it's like, okay, you got

362
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 5: an hour after something happens to walk to my house

363
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 5: and then we're going to flee gas stations if you

364
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 5: don't have gas for your car, like how well you dart?

365
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 5: The gas stations are going to be packed.

366
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: So anyway, yeah, questions, Yeah, we got all the questions.

367
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 3: I think we hope we'll get to and so to get.

368
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: Y'all some answers as we as we bring our guests on.

369
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 3: But before we get there.

370
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: Mondani, in case you missed it, don't be embarrassed. There

371
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: was a race held this week in New York. The

372
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: pretty big deal for those in the city of New

373
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: York because it included, well hel a bunch of candidates,

374
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: one of which was the former governor of New York,

375
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo, who had been leading the race the entire time.

376
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: And then as a result of the elections, when people

377
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: got out to be able to decide, they told us

378
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: what they wanted. Let's run this clip and see see

379
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: what people shows.

380
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 9: Republicans are slamming Mom Donnie as anti capitalism and anti

381
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 9: Semitic for criticizing Israel, which he denies.

382
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: He says he's focused on the cost of living.

383
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 9: We have won because New Yorkers have stood up for

384
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 9: a city they can afford, a city where they can

385
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 9: do more than just struggle, one where those who toil

386
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 9: in the night can enjoy the fruits of their labor

387
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 9: in the day.

388
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 4: Yeah.

389
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: So, so we saw and and got to hear. The

390
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: news media on the introduction to Zoran's speech, wanted to

391
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: type the typecast this race as sort of being about, uh, frankly,

392
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: the big national issues, and it sounds to me, based

393
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: off of the little and very limited following that I

394
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: was able to do from you know, just you know,

395
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: down here in Florida, it sounded to me like this

396
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: brother really leaned into the everyday issues that appear to

397
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: be showing up for people. How do I, you know,

398
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: get groceries and under Trump's economy, uh, and still be

399
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: able to enjoy the quality of life that I thought

400
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: I was going to enjoy, you know, living here. They're

401
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: talking about housing, They're talking about rent rates, and how

402
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: it is that corporate New York has really taken over

403
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: so much of the real estate and made it quite

404
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: unaffordable for regular everyday people, uh to to to to

405
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: live in the city. I just wanted to quickly share

406
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: with y'all that some of the uh, the the surprise

407
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: and the outcome of this race was was really born

408
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: about because the money advantage was so significant obviously for

409
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: uh the former governor. The former governor also in the

410
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:27,479
Speaker 1: lead up to the election, over Mandani enjoy significant Black

411
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: support throughout the city. He began to close the spread

412
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: of support amnks black voters throughout New York and the

413
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: lead up to the election, collapsing that quite a bit

414
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: and obviously running away with it. I'm curious to know

415
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: from from the two of you real quick is whether

416
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: or not you think this has greater implications for the

417
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: City of New York or is there a message here

418
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: for Democrats as they figure out how it is they

419
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: run and win elections again.

420
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 5: Yes, there is a message here. So I have to say,

421
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 5: because I understand if you don't live in New York,

422
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 5: you might be thinking, well, why do I care about

423
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 5: the New York City mayoral race? But it's so important

424
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 5: because to me, it shows that you can still inspire people.

425
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 5: He ran on a very progressive platform. He was a

426
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 5: state assemblyman, lived an immigrant, lived in Queens, born in Uganda.

427
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 5: He was a part of this like rap group. So

428
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 5: there are all these videos of him with like all

429
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 5: this flavor, you know, rapping with in this rap group.

430
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 5: He's she a Muslim married to a Syrian woman, and

431
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 5: it's such an important story in transparency. Uh, we have

432
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 5: a friend in the race, well, somebody we know who

433
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 5: I would call a friend in the race anyway, Angela, y'all,

434
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 5: if you're listening, Angela's making a face anyway, Okay, okay,

435
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 5: I have a friend in the race, and I really

436
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 5: value people who have conviction in their beliefs, and Mondani

437
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 5: had conviction in his beliefs when they asked that he

438
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 5: is not running for leadership in Israel, he is running

439
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 5: for leadership in New York City. And the way the media,

440
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 5: the political elite, the donor class all tried to crush

441
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 5: this man's campaign because he did not have some undying

442
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 5: loyalty to Israel. He defends Israel's right to exist, just

443
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 5: as he does with the Palestinian people. And so the

444
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 5: friend that I have in the race hedged a little

445
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 5: bit and completely reverse something he was highly critical of Israel.

446
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,719
Speaker 5: And then because all this pressure around him, he walked

447
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 5: back his words and it's like, oh, well, I didn't

448
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 5: mean that when I said it, and it was disappointing

449
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 5: to see. So I was out loud and proud and

450
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 5: happy to support Mundani in this race. And to me,

451
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 5: why it matters if you don't live in New York.

452
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 5: It just shows you can be who you are authentically,

453
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 5: and if you jump out there and take a chance

454
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 5: and run for office, support somebody who's running for office

455
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 5: takes some sort of action, there can be victory. All

456
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 5: you people who ask about third parties, well, third party parties,

457
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 5: you're very seduced by the president. Can we elect the

458
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 5: president who's a third party? Mandannie happens to be a Democrat,

459
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 5: but a third party person could have run on that

460
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 5: same platform and won this race. It wasn't about the party.

461
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 5: It was about what he was saying, making public transportation,

462
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 5: free freezing rent, and those things resonated with the people

463
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 5: of New York. So I love it.

464
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 4: I love it.

465
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's going to be more to

466
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: watch here, everybody. So if you're listening, know that these

467
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: were the primary races that were held this past week,

468
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: and that there is still a possibility that candidate Cuomo,

469
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: former governor of New York, may file to run in

470
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: this race and go to the general election by running

471
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: as an independent, and so lots to watch.

472
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 5: Cuomo. Don't do that. And if New York you have

473
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 5: a chance to send a message to the America right

474
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 5: now by doing something progressive. And I applaud you all

475
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 5: for electing Mandannie as your candidate that you're taking to battle,

476
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 5: but please do not put Andrew Cloma. He and Trump

477
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 5: share the same donors. It's like we always say white

478
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 5: supremacy is nonpartisan, not that he's a white supremacist, but

479
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 5: they share a lot of the same supporters. So AnyWho, Angela,

480
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 5: I know you live in Seattle and you're like, I

481
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 5: am not really into this mayoral race. But what I

482
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 5: think you are into is the message it sends.

483
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 6: Yes, I will tell you.

484
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 7: The one thing that I've been following on social especially

485
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 7: is the number of folks who have felt encouraged by this.

486
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 7: You know, it's really hard to come out of November

487
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 7: last year and not feel all the hopelessness and be like, well,

488
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 7: what do we have to do? Like there's no point.

489
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 7: And also it gives me I have some questions about

490
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,719
Speaker 7: these election results still because I don't understand from I'm

491
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 7: talking about from November, not from the man winning yesterday

492
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 7: or sorry this week. I I want people to remember

493
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 7: that there's always something we can do, even when it

494
00:24:58,600 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 7: does feel hopeless.

495
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 6: You might not be able to see it, but you know,

496
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 6: the Bible talks about.

497
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 7: Midnight, and a lot of us are raising the church

498
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 7: and we always hear that midnight is the darkest hour.

499
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 7: But you know, Don has to break at some point,

500
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 7: So congratulations to New York on the dawn breaking sooner

501
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 7: for y'all than the rest of us. But the Don

502
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 7: is breaking, it sounds.

503
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 5: Like, Okay, guys, on the other side of this break,

504
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 5: we're going to talk about survival of the fittest. And

505
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 5: I don't mean in the gym, I mean in the streets.

506
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 5: Don't go anywhere. We'll tell you what we're talking about

507
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 5: on the other side. All right, time for our guests,

508
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 5: and I'm so so excited. We all are so excited

509
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 5: to welcome Sharon Ross, better known as an Afro Vivalist,

510
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 5: and yes, we're going to get into all of what

511
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 5: that means. Sharon Ross, thank you so much for joining us.

512
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 5: You would do a much better job saying what you

513
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 5: do and what is an AFRO. Before you joined the show,

514
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 5: we were all talking about how we're concerned about surviving

515
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 5: when all of the structural parts of society have collapsed.

516
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 5: What does that look like? And you walk it like

517
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 5: you're talking because you don't just teach about that life,

518
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 5: you're living that life. So walk us through who you

519
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 5: are and what is an afro biblist.

520
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 4: Everybody, I'm AFRO biblist. I am a African American survivalist.

521
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 4: Put that together and it's Afro biblist. So I came

522
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 4: up with that because I am a I am my

523
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 4: father's son. Growing up, he was a marine and my

524
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 4: little sister was too prissy to hang out with him,

525
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 4: and I was the tomboy. So that's why I say

526
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 4: I'm my father's son. And he is the one who

527
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 4: started me on my journey to learning how to hunt,

528
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 4: learning how to protect myself. I grew up in a

529
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 4: all white community with which is where I ended up today,

530
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 4: and I had to learn how to survive in an

531
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 4: all white community in the early seventies. So I grew

532
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 4: up hunting with him and fishing and learning how to

533
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 4: harvest animals and all of that. And after I graduated

534
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 4: from high school, I moved on to Houston and then

535
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 4: came back here because that was a culture shock in

536
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 4: Houston for me. It was too many, too many people

537
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 4: and not enough woods for me, so I had to

538
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 4: come back, and long story short, in my thirties, I

539
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 4: decided that well, it was around Katrina that the aha

540
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 4: moment came upon me and said, I do not want

541
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 4: to be like them. Suffering. I want to prepare and

542
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 4: get ready for whatever it is to come my way.

543
00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 4: And so that's where my journey started, on preparing and

544
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 4: being a prepper and getting back out in the woods

545
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 4: and hunting and doing my journey. People thought I was crazy.

546
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 4: I've lost many, many friends because of it. But granted

547
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 4: they're slowly coming back because they're realizing I'm not that

548
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 4: crazy lady anymore, all right. And and so I started,

549
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 4: you know, teaching a little bit to other people about it.

550
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 4: It was it was hard to get other people, you know,

551
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 4: ten years ago, sorry about my dog, ten.

552
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 3: Years ago, love it welcome, ten years ago, to.

553
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 4: Try to get people to understand that, hey, something may

554
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,239
Speaker 4: happen to us here in the Pacific Northwest, especially you know,

555
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 4: the big earthquake that the Pacific Northwest is supposed to have.

556
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 4: I mean, we're twelve years behind, so they're saying we're

557
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 4: supposed to have a big one. Even with people knowing

558
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 4: that I was still the crazy cu Cooh conspiracy theorists

559
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 4: all of that, and so slowly people started asking me

560
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 4: to join them and get presentations and classes and whatnot.

561
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 4: And uh, when it came to COVID, people were going

562
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 4: crazy in my office on Oh my god, I need

563
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 4: to go get supplies. And I was telling people then

564
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 4: before it got to the States, because I I don't

565
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 4: watch local news. I watch international news, and international news

566
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 4: was telling us the truth. So I was telling people,

567
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 4: y'all really need to uh take this COVID thing that's

568
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 4: going over in China seriously because it's going to come

569
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 4: to us. And they're like, yeah, whatever, you're you're stupid,

570
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 4: you're crazy, you know what. Whatever, And uh so I

571
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 4: started ordering my my respiratory mask and and everything that

572
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 4: I was needing, and they already knew that I was prepping.

573
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 4: So I was. I had my food, I had water,

574
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,239
Speaker 4: I was good to go. I was good to go.

575
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 5: Well, you were smart to do that. I'm so so

576
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 5: sorry didn't just because we're tight on time, but you

577
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 5: were so smart to do that. But I definitely want

578
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 5: Angela to be able to jump in and ask you

579
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 5: a question because she just did this great simulation and

580
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 5: we want our to equip our audience with some specifics

581
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 5: of what they need. So Angela, I'm tossing it to you.

582

Speaker 7: Thank you so much, Tip and Sharon for joining us today.

583
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 7: You had my ears perk up when you said Pacific Northwest.

584
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 7: I'm born and raised in Seattle, and I moved back

585
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 7: home last summer full time. I've been split in time

594
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 7: to say that I think it's really important.

595
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 4: Yes, let me just say to be in my group,

596

Speaker 4: on coming, if you get the invitation to join me

598
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 4: on my sixty five acres, you have to have a

599
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 4: year's supply for every person in your family or you're not.

600
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 7: Getting this is This is excellent, Sharon, this is perfect.

601
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,160

602
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 7: prepared yourself to survive? I hear you saying sixty five

603
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 7: acres when you say a year's worth of supplies, walk

604
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 7: us through this like we slow and low kids, we

605
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 7: don't know, So talk to us about how we prepare

606
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 7: and we get sharing afro vibilists ready. We want to

607
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,239
Speaker 7: get it ready, we want to get it right. So

608
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 7: tell us what I'm taking notes, What are the supplies

609
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 7: we need for a year?

610
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 3: Or is that where you would start?

611
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 4: Where you start is in your kitchen. Look through your

612
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 4: cabinets and find any and all shelf life stable foods

613
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 4: meaning rice, beans, canned foods, dried foods, which is the

614
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 4: high or freeze drive foods. Pull all of that out,

615
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 4: put it in a tote and put it aside. And

616
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 4: that's where you're gonna start with your pantry supplies. And

617
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 4: then after that, you want to start going to your

618
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 4: food pantries. If you look up I think if you

619
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 4: google food pantries near me, it'll pop up every food

620
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 4: pantry in the United States and you can literally find

621
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 4: what's in your area. I would guarantee, I would suggest

622
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 4: that you go to every pantry that you can that

623
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 4: will allow you to get food. The fastest way to

624
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 4: build up your pantry supplies is going to a food pantry.

625
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 4: Save your money for now, because you're gonna need a generator,

626
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 4: You're gonna need water purification systems. And if this war

627
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 4: pops off, you're gonna need a full face mask with

628
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 4: the respiratory uh filters. There's a lot. So I always

629
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 4: tell people to try to save your money and utilize

630
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 4: the food pantries first. Now people look at me and

631
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 4: say like, oh, but I'm I work full time. You know,

632
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 4: I'm taking for other from other people. But keep in

633
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 4: mind that from me. I used to work volunteer at pantries.

634
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 4: We threw away a lot of people, a lot of

635
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 4: food because people have the nerve to be picky. You're

636
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 4: getting free food and they have the nerve to be

637
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 4: and so at the end of the day we would

638
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 4: have to throw that food out. So I still recommend.

639
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 7: You reference sharing a generator and a water purification system.

640
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 7: A lot of folks talk about not getting generators because

641
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 7: they're cost prohibitive. Can you talk to us about reasonably

642
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 7: priced generators, reasonably priced systems?

643
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 6: No, we're here, Can you hear us?

644
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 4: I can hear you.

645
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 7: Yes, Okay, So I was saying in your remarks you

646
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 7: mentioned getting a generator in a water purification system.

647
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:13,439
Speaker 6: Can you talk to us.

648
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 7: About reasonably priced water and water purification systems and generators?

649
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,240
Speaker 7: And if that is, what is required for your years

650
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 7: long supply to go on your sixty five acres.

651
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna kind of eliminate my sixty five acres

652
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 4: from it because I'm fully now and you guys are

653
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 4: just starting. You can't start where I'm at. So I

654
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 4: would say, use your water catchments. Also, use your roofing.

655
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 4: If you're living on a house, use the water from

656
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 4: your gutter and to have that drain into a fifty

657
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 4: five gallon water barrel. And because you can use that

658
00:34:55,280 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 4: water later on to purify it, to drink, to you

659
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 4: bathe in and whatnot. And then the best, I like,

660
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 4: the best water purification system would be Soyer, which is

661
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 4: s A W y e R. They have a household

662
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 4: system that you can use set up to your system

663
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 4: and it's a drip system that goes into a container

664
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 4: that you would need to use a generator. If you're

665
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 4: living in a house and the electricity goes down, you're

666
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 4: gonna need one of those. And right now generators are

667
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,919
Speaker 4: a hot item because people who are going through these

668
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 4: natural disasters are buying generators. I mean I have five.

669
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 4: I mean people are like, yeah, you're doing too much,

670
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 4: but you know what, I have a backup, my backup,

671
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 4: to my backup, to my backup. I mean when I

672
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 4: find them on sale, I buy them. So there you

673
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 4: got your water purification system, you got your generator. And

674
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 4: another thing I would also recommend is a solar generator.

675
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 4: So you go out and buy I use. Let me

676
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 4: show you I am now plugged into.

677
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: Jackery and and say more about jackeriye, say it again.

678
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 3: Can you explain that.

679
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 4: Is a solar generator. So you hook this to your

680
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,439
Speaker 4: solar panels and it will charge and it will get

681
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 4: full up to one hundred percent. I don't know if

682
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 4: you can see that, but I have seventy four percent

683
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 4: on here.

684
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: But when I play, it'll hold the electric power, it'll

685
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: hold it.

686
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 4: And this is a little one. This is just from

687
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 4: my laptop my cell phone. But I have a bigger

688
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 4: one that's over there that's running, that's being charged right

689
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 4: now for the generator. And that's the one that I

690
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 4: use at night. So during the day I use this

691
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:02,439
Speaker 4: fallen and then the larger one I use at night.

692
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 4: So during the day, when the generator is running, I'm

693
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 4: running the big one to make sure that's one hundred percent.

694
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 4: Once it gets to one hundred percent, I disconnect it,

695
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 4: turn it off, and then when it gets to night time,

696
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 4: I turn it back on. And that's what I use

697
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 4: at night if I want to watch a movie or

698
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 4: something like that. But Jackery, I recommend this one I

699
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 4: found on sale for one ninety nine. The bigger ones

700
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 4: they can be in the thousands, but I recommend them

701
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 4: because they will come with your solar panels and they

702
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 4: work great when.

703
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 3: I have That's good advice.

704
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 4: When I have the Jackerie plugged into the solar panels.

705
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 4: Believe it or not, they charge faster on the solar

706
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 4: panels by the sun than they do from the generator. Wow.

707
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 1: So what I'm share in Yes, I have a quick

708
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: question as we were thinking about our listeners all across

709
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: the country you had alluded to in your earlier statements.

710
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: If this war pops off, there are all kinds of

711
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: scenarios that can lead people wherever they are in the country,

712
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: whether they're living lifestyles similar to yours or in more

713
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: urbanized areas, or they could be you know, in rural

714
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 1: south but collected to the grid system, and so everything

715
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: is pretty much provided when it comes to an urban service,

716
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: if you will. So, as we think about the kinds

717
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 1: of scenarios that might lead people sort of down this road.

718
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear you articulate what maybe just some

719
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: of those might be. And then second, if we accept

720
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: that to be the case and we want to then

721
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: make preparation, what would you recommend You mentioned you know,

722
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: you're clearly at a much more advanced level, But for

723
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 1: the rest of us that are out here who are

724
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: comfortably where we are and just don't want to put

725
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: at risk really life and health should emergencies, you know,

726
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: impact us, what kind of guidance would you offer around

727
00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: getting started.

728
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 4: So it gets started other than what I've already spoke

729
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 4: about is yes, Because so what I think is going

730
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 4: to happen is our enemies out there know that our

731
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 4: power grid sucks, they know it's bad, they know it's

732
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 4: one hundred years old, et cetera. So I don't think

733
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 4: and I hope that they won't nuke us, if you

734
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 4: know what I mean about doing a ground attack. What

735
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 4: I think may happen is they'll set something off above

736
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 4: our atmosphere and that will take down our whole grid

737
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 4: once they do, or they will attack the substations. So

738
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 4: we've got fifty five thousand substations in the New United States.

739
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 4: All they have to do is take out nine nine

740
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 4: to take out the whole country. Okay, So that's why

741
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 4: it's important to get a solar system set up, get

742
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 4: your solar s up and ready to go, just in case,

743
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 4: because you know they can't put out the sun. Well

744
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 4: they might, but the sun's going to be there for us.

745
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 4: Then the electricity will be if an attack is taken

746
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 4: upon us here in the United States.

747
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 5: There's also things like ham communicating via radio like Ham radio,

748
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 5: and but even just trying to find each other in

749
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 5: the immediate aftermath of something happening. I've bore witness of

750
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 5: this myself. I was at CNN at the time nine

751
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 5: to eleven happened, and you could not get in or

752
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,760
Speaker 5: out of DC. It was complete gridlock. I was angel.

753
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 5: I believe you were still in DC when an earthquake

754
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 5: happened and you weren't there. This was like twenty ten,

755
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 5: twenty eleven. I thought you were still living there then,

756
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 5: But there was an earthquake that happened in DC that

757
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 5: reached d C and you another time where you couldn't

758
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 5: really get in or out. My question is about weaponry

759
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 5: because as black people, we are in a unique position where, yes,

760
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 5: we can fear and Iranian regime wanting to defend their

761
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 5: land by striking us here domestically. However, we also have

762
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 5: homegrown terrorism that is now operating out of the White House,

763
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 5: that has emboldened white nationalists, that actually employs white nationalists

764
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 5: within the administration. And so in terms of defending ourselves,

765
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 5: I'm curious your thoughts on can you hear me, miss Ross?

766
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 5: Are you still there?

767
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 4: Yes?

768
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 5: Okay, So in terms of defending ourselves, you know, I'm

769
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 5: learning how to shoot a shotgun, but what kind of

770
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 5: weaponry should we be thinking about, if any? Obviously in

771
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 5: states where it's legal and going through a legal process, right.

772
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 4: So I was just gonna say, if any, find first

773
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 4: find out if what you can carry, Go out and

774
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 4: get your license to carry. Number one, be legal about it.

775
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 4: Number two, go out and find I would suggest to

776
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 4: go to a range and just sample different firearms and

777
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 4: see what you're comfortable with before you go out and purchase.

778
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 4: And then once you purchase, go join a class and

779
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 4: learn how to use that firearm properly. It's really important

780
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 4: because you know, you still got people out there who

781
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 4: think they can hold their guns like this, you know,

782
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 4: and that ain't the right way to hold a gun,

783
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 4: you know, And you got to learn the importance of

784
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 4: that gun being on safety and why it should be

785
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 4: on safety at all times until you're able, until you're

786
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 4: wanting to use it. So take those steps first and

787
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 4: start researching what type of firearms you want, if anything,

788
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 4: you would want any something small enough to be on

789
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 4: your person so you can be able to conceal it

790
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 4: when you're going into a crowd or you know, going

791
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 4: into the stores or whatnot, because a lot of people

792
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 4: still will they'll freak out when they, you know nowadays,

793
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 4: when they see someone walking through the store, you know,

794
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 4: with the gun on them. You know, you want to

795
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 4: make sure that it's concealed, and it will just cause

796
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 4: your problems in the future if if you're exposing yourself

797
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 4: because you know, you got people out there, who are

798
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,479
Speaker 4: you know, gonna be panicking or whatnot, thinking you're gonna

799
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 4: shoot up the store or whatever. So be careful with that.

800
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 5: The dog agrees with you and.

801
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 7: Sharing I was gonna I was gonna ask. So you

802
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 7: talked about the pantry, we talked about property. We haven't

803
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 7: really talked as much about produce or the other things

804
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 7: that we need to ensure that we're okay. So I

805
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 7: don't know if folks if there's a way that folks

806
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 7: can tap in with you and learn, like what is

807
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 7: that down that list you know of things that people

808
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 7: need to survive for a year, whether they're on your

809
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 7: property or not. What does that look like? Give in

810
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 7: the crisis that is looming, we want to ensure that

811
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 7: our audience, our listening audience, and their family.

812
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 6: Members are okay.

813
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 7: I've learned a lot about satellite phones recently and the

814
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 7: importance of AVA ass to that tip just talked about radio.

815
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 6: What are the other things that we.

816
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 7: Really need to be leaning into in these treacherous times.

817
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,399
Speaker 4: You want to make sure that you have all of

818
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 4: your medications prescriptions if you can get if you have

819
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 4: to take a medication on a regular basis, talk to

820
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 4: your doctor and see if you can get a minimum

821
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:36,240
Speaker 4: of a three month supply. And start stalking up on meds,

822
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 4: even over the counter medications. When you're going to the

823
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 4: stores and you find you know, allergy medicines, diarrhea medicines

824
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 4: that are on sale byom and just start stocking up

825
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 4: on them, I stalked up on toothbrushes. So my routine

826
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 4: when I was in the city before I moved here

827
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 4: to my homestead, I would go to the dollar store,

828
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 4: grocery outlet and ace hardware. They were like on each corner.

829
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 4: That's what I called my prepper corner. And I would

830
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 4: go into grocery outlet and tell myself, Okay, my limit

831
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 4: is a dollar ninety nine, and if I can buy

832
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 4: something for a dollar ninety nine, I can get as

833
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 4: many as I want. So I would find toothbrush packets

834
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 4: for dollar ninety nine, toothpaste, those dental floss things, you know,

835
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 4: anything for a dollar ninety nine and under, and I

836
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 4: would buy those. Anything, any canned foods that was a

837
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:42,240
Speaker 4: dollar ninety nine, I'd buy any medications. And then sometimes

838
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 4: I'd go in and say, okay, today's my five dollar limit.

839
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 4: I can buy anything five dollars or less and find

840
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,280
Speaker 4: them on sale. And that's another good way to stock

841
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 4: up there. You know you want to get a lot

842
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 4: of your personal hygiene items, start stocking up on that,

843
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 4: on your soaps, on your detergents. I make my own

844
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 4: laundry detergent, which consists of borax baking soda, a washing

845
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 4: powder soot soap, and then a scented what do you

846
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 4: call those? You know, the scented Yeah, the smell good.

847
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 4: If you get those, you combine all those two together

848
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 4: one tablespoon I'm sorry, one uh one fourth cup is

849
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 4: good enough for a whole load, so you don't need

850
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 4: to use a lot of it. Oh and I also

851
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 4: put oxyclean in that mixture too, so you don't need

852
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 4: a lot of it. And it lasts a long time.

853
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 4: I'm on a three gallon bucket that I made and

854
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,760
Speaker 4: it's I'm still I've still got like a year left

855
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 4: of use from that. So things like that. Think about

856
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 4: your soaps because if you go out and buy those

857
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,280
Speaker 4: big soaps, you know, the big block soaps you can take,

858
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 4: you can cut those down to like the Hotel fiaps.

859
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,439
Speaker 4: So one of those big soaps can bring can get

860
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 4: you twelve of the Hotel five soaps, you know what

861
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 4: I mean? So think that way. Think always think, Okay,

862
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 4: if I'm going to buy this, how long is it

863
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 4: going to last me? And then can I stretch it?

864
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 4: How long? How long can I stretch it out? That

865
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 4: makes sense?

866
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, sharing your advice has been really really good for us,

867
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 1: and we know we've got to get you out of

868
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: here soon.

869
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 3: But I wanted to just ask if.

870
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: There are resources that you would recommend folks access from

871
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: wherever they live. If it's going to a website that

872
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: you find particularly helpful, or if there's an organization that

873
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: you've connected with that you might want to recommend that

874
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: folks go to to get more information. I love if

875
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: you could do that, and then I didn't hear the

876
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 1: answer to it, so I just want to ask it

877
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: one more time, and that is for radio communication. If

878
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: satellites were to go down, are we talking analog? What

879
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,720
Speaker 1: do you recommend for being able to be connected via coms?

880
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 4: Satellites will evangel go down? I think Ham radios are good.

881
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 4: I do have my HAMD radio license, but there is

882
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 4: a radio etiquette to it. So you need to join

883
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 4: a class and learn what that etiquette is because it

884
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 4: is FCC license and it is against the law to

885
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 4: not follow their etiquette. And then if you don't want

886
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 4: to use a HAM radio, find a radio that's got

887
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 4: a long range to it where and then give each

888
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,760
Speaker 4: one of those to your team members and then start

889
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 4: practicing the use it, start creating your own code, so

890
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 4: you only you and your team will know what that

891
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 4: code means. Okay, satellite phones, that's an iffy iffy because

892
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 4: they're really expensive and then they have an expensive monthly service.

893
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 4: So unless you are using that every single day to

894
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 4: get your money's worth out of it, satellite phones can

895
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 4: be kind of iffy iffy. There is an app on

896
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 4: your phones. I think it's called zel o z E

897
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 4: l l O and it's a walkie talkie system. So

898
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 4: go on your phone and get find the apps that

899
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 4: are off grid apps that you can communicate with two

900
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 4: other people and you can set your all your team

901
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:44,280
Speaker 4: members up on that and you be able to utilize

902
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 4: your your utilize that app through your phone off grid

903
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 4: when the grid is down, so your phone may be

904
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 4: you may not be able to make a call, but

905
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 4: you'll be able to use that app as a radio

906
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 4: to call your members.

907
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: Excellent advice and I'm loving that you're you're recommending that

908
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: you get practice with this before an emergency hits. Yeah,

909
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: and then resources was the was it was the other

910
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: resources that you'd recommend.

911
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 4: Which which one to learn more about what it means

912
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:18,479
Speaker 4: survive right now?

913
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 3: Survived so of course.

914
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 4: You know go to my website. Really, so my website

915
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 4: is it's it's a disaster because I had a web

916
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 4: designer doing it and now he's gone and I can't

917
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 4: get to my website. I can't update it, but it's

918
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 4: still information there to go to get current, go to

919
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 4: my Facebook page afro Bibleist Facebook page, and I do

920
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 4: have lists on there that has a full list of

921
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 4: what you need to survive, a full list. I even

922
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 4: asked chat GPT about it and it's on there and

923
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 4: Jack chat GPT has a good list and I shared

924
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 4: that list. So when you want to find anything current

925
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 4: when it comes to prepping or any kind of knowledge

926
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 4: that I'm putting out there, most likely I'm going to

927
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:15,760
Speaker 4: put it on my Facebook page first because I'm still

928
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,240
Speaker 4: trying to get access.

929
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 7: To and I'm sharing one last thing. Oh sorry, no,

930
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 7: I didn't mean to go off. I was going to say,

931
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 7: we just did this process where we got experts, policy

932
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 7: experts from a variety of fields to contribute to our

933
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:37,320
Speaker 7: black papers, policy initiative process through State of the People,

934
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 7: and we don't have one on survival skill. So I

935
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 7: would love if you would consider doing a black paper

936
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 7: on that to help expose our audience and our people,

937
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 7: our communities to what's needed to be able to survive.

938
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 7: Right now, your list, the other things that you feel

939
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 7: comfortable sharing, we would love to have you. I would

940
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 7: connect you to doctor David Johns, who's the editor in

941
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 7: chief of that process.

942
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: Okay, well, listeners, you all have heard it direct here

943
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: from the expert.

944
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 3: Herself and what it means to survive.

945
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: Well, as far as I'm concerned, you ain't said a

946
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:15,800
Speaker 1: silly thing yet. All of it makes sense for survival

947
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 1: and we want to make sure that we are and

948
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: we and our listeners are equipped for whatever the condition

949
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 1: might be, you know, getting off the grid and living

950
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 1: you know, more independently might be some folks's aim and

951
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: others that just might be I don't know what might

952
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: come right and how do I make sure I protect

953
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: my family and myself. We thank you so much for

954
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: being so generous with your time, miss sharing, and want

955
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 1: to make sure that you leave any contact information with

956
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: us that we can share with the listeners that you

957
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: are willing to, so that folks have a way that

958
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: they can get directly to you. And of course, as

959
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 1: you mentioned before, following you on your Facebook page.

960
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 4: So feel free so one thing before I give that

961
00:52:56,520 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 4: announcement is also go hit your second supply stores like

962
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 4: your Goodwills and whatnot, and start purchasing shoes for your

963
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,479
Speaker 4: children that are one, two, three, four sizes too big.

964
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 4: Shoes and clothes. If you got infants, go buy them secondhand,

965
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 4: get them washed, and put those aside, because when it

966
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 4: comes to that there's we're gonna be suffering in the

967
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 4: next six months to a year and beyond. So make

968
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 4: sure that you've got enough clothes. Go out and buy

969
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 4: your blankets. Go get the second hand blankets and then

970
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 4: wash them and then put them away. You can find

971
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 4: more information like I said, on me at afrobiblist dot com,

972
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 4: afroviolists on YouTube, which I don't do a lot, afro

973
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 4: biblists on Instagram and Facebook.

974
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 5: Like I said, perfect, Thank you so much, Afrovibleist. We

975
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 5: learned a lot. Thank you so much for doing all right. Well,

976
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 5: I'm going to get all my supplies to make sure

977
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 5: we're good and on the other side of this break,

978
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 5: we're going to tell you what we need you guys

979
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 5: to do this week. Don't go anywhere, y'all.

980
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,359
Speaker 1: We have had a full show and still so much

981
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 1: to talk about, but want to make sure that we

982
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: get the chance to issue what our audiences and joys

983
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 1: hearing from each of us each weekend.

984
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 3: That is, what are your tegaways?

985
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: Give me your CTA answer, Latiff, what do you want

986
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 1: us to do or know?

987
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 7: Mine is to find five people in your city whose

988
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:47,320
Speaker 7: phone numbers you could memorize and who you can stay

989
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 7: connected to in a time of crisis. I would definitely

990
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 7: encourage that that's mine for this week.

991
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,720
Speaker 5: That's a good one. Well, I want to thank everybody

992
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 5: from my last CTA. So many people have sent me

993
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 5: vegan recipes and v ideas. I don't know what I'm

994
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 5: gonna do in an apocalyptic America trying to be vegan,

995
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 5: so I want to stay with the survival theme though,

996
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 5: because we got so much good information from our guests,

997
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,319
Speaker 5: I would say my CTA is learned. The earth is

998
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 5: so generous with what the earth offers us. So even

999
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 5: if you're in the city, learn gardening, like learn how

1000
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 5: to grow your own food, grow tomatoes, grow an avocado,

1001
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 5: this great protein, grow onions, like herbs, all of those things. Yeah,

1002
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 5: I think that's a good idea because who knows what

1003
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 5: tomorrow is going to bring so yeah, let's get back

1004
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:40,720
Speaker 5: to like being self sufficient just within ourselves.

1005
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 1: I love that mine is I guess I don't know,

1006
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 1: maybe personal, but maybe I think hopefully applicable outside of individual,

1007
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: and that is I would Last night I participated in

1008
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 1: a call for a relative who is right now and surgery.

1009
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: I won't say money details, but a watching my phone

1010
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: for the updates that are coming and knowing that God's

1011
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 1: doing he he what he must do and we'll do

1012
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 1: for successful surgery. But what it reminded me of as

1013
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 1: we all were on the zoom talking last night, was

1014
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: how the history and our community of really secretive or

1015
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: being secretive around our health, keeping it very close to

1016
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 1: the vest. That the time that you are learning about

1017
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: a relative being gravely ill is when a relative is

1018
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: called and saying you need to call us and such

1019
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:31,319
Speaker 1: because you know they're on their last And I just

1020
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 1: thought about how it has built a real trauma scar

1021
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: for me when I get the update the call, because

1022
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 1: now I associate somebody's health update with you know, you

1023
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: know they're on their way out, and you know, my

1024
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: dad's very much came like that. I mean, we had

1025
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: just finished the race for governor and he had just

1026
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: been campaigning, and then it's like everybody keeps things from

1027
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: you out of protecting and to keep it close.

1028
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 3: But what I wanted to salute was this this hopeful.

1029
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: Energy within our community of being more transparent around ours

1030
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: and our family members health journeys. I don't mean the

1031
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: broadcast it, but amongst with each other, so that we

1032
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 1: can kind of disrupt this cycle of secrecy there that

1033
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 1: is very deadly and I think creates something I didn't

1034
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 1: really realize or really associate before, which is a real

1035
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: trauma in me about health and health updates and whether

1036
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: or not the only time you share is when somebody's

1037
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: about to tap out. And and and I think we've

1038
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: I think that tradition is deadly. I think is much

1039
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: more in the spirit of who we truly are as

1040
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 1: a people to be sharing with our with our with

1041
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: our with our close people so that they can champion

1042
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 1: and pray for us uh and help to keep us

1043
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 1: on the straight and narrow as we all try to

1044
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: navigate this life and live the best of it. So

1045
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: that's my scene today.

1046
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 5: I like that I don't know why we're so secretive,

1047
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 5: especially with black folks. Yeah, you know, I mean like

1048
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 5: our grandparents, like I didn't want to worry anybody, you.

1049
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 3: Know, absolutely my dad was that way. He didn't want

1050
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 3: to load on.

1051
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: And if they weren't, it was like, you got enough

1052
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 1: to deal with in your life, you know, you don't

1053
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 1: have to do, you know, deal with mine either. And

1054
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: then some of it is like a little shame. You know,

1055
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: maybe he didn't go to his doctor every year, and

1056
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: so maybe he thought by having, you know, avoided all

1057
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: that stuff, that that he was in some way part

1058
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: responsible for the situation.

1059
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 3: I mean any number of things.

1060
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:32,919
Speaker 1: Y'all may have ideas out there listeners, family around while

1061
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 1: we do that, and I.

1062
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 3: Do think we got to do a better job of

1063
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 3: just lifting it up.

1064
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 1: Angela, you've exhibited and been very transparent, you know, I

1065
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: think and beyond with with our listening audiences as you're

1066
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: navigating it very personally. But I was talking to my

1067
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: sister and just completely lost control last night in the

1068
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 1: conversation because when I got the note about joining the Zoom,

1069
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: I thought that this, you know, I'm like, you know,

1070
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,439
Speaker 1: what is am I just learning that there's something here

1071
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 1: that about to happen?

1072
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 3: And I was afraid about joining.

1073
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: And the truth is is Our family has worked really

1074
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: hard over the last couple of years since the passing

1075
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: of both my dad and his brother's illness and my

1076
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 1: grandmother and grandfather.

1077
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 3: That we have got to do a better job.

1078
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 1: Of one just as a family and being in concert

1079
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 1: and connection, but two as we all grow older our

1080
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: health and how we can support each other through it.

1081
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1082
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 5: I love that. Well, this is why we encourage you

1083
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 5: all to please tell a friend about the show, because

1084
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 5: I you know, we don't know everyone who listens, but

1085
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 5: we know most of y'all who listen, we have the

1086
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 5: same background. There's a lot of commonality here, so hopefully

1087
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 5: and listen to this conversation. It will invite somebody to

1088
