What's up, y'all? 0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:28.000 Ag Andrew, what are we talking about today? 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:28.520 Well? 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:29.200 Great question. 0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:31.440 I will yield to you first what you want to 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:32.680 what you want to talk about? 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:34.960 Okay. 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:40.760 I am a little nervous about what's happening in Iran, 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:43.360 but not so much about what's happening there. I'm really 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:48.720 curious about how it impacts us. So, like, what happens 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.159 if you know, a nuke hits the United States, or 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:54.680 or what happens if it's just the fall of society 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:58.520 and government is not functioning. How will we survive? And 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.600 I'm interested in that because Angela, I'm at the state 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:04.959 of the people who are had a whole simulation around 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:06.600 what would happen, and I haven't been able to stop 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:07.200 thinking about it. 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:08.640 Interesting, Angela, what's up? 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:09.600 Well? 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:11.480 I want to make sure that I give you all 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.200 the video that we can drop on this show, by 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.960 the way, from that simulation. But I also I want 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:20.399 to talk about survival skills. I know we have a 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:23.760 guest joining us to talk about just that, and it 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.440 feels very urgent to me that we're a little unprepared. 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.360 I don't know if it's my homeland security background or what, 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.640 but you go to Ready dot gov right now and 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:35.039 they've even taken down a national Infrastructure security report that 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.200 we would normally go to to rely on for what 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.120 happens if the electric group is attacked. 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:40.480 Well, then I watch all to survive. 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:42.840 Finally, y'all, I think I love for us to just 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:46.360 get a little conversation going about what happened this week 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:51.960 in New York's very important race for mayor. So let's 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:57.760 get into it. Well, y'all heard what we're talking about today. 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.000 But before we get going, we want to remind you 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.520 that if you like this show and you want to 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:06.240 show us some support, the easiest way is to give 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.440 us a rating, leave a comment, text an episode to 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:13.200 a friend, or just tell somebody about Native Lampod.

In advance, we're counting on you to help 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:15.880 us repad the word. 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:21.520 Andrew, speaking of spreading the word, we actually one of 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:25.960 our regular viewers who sends in questions all the time. 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.040 I just want to remind the viewers please send in 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.399 a video of yourselves with questions comments.

We are not three people talking 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.239 at you. So we so appreciate when y'all send in videos. 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.679 And this brother has sent in a lot, so let's 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:45.280 hear from him. 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.919 Hated of Lamb folks is Ernest Champelle. Once again, I'm 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.960 inside today, so it's not gonna be loud and noisy 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.800 like you guys clown me on before. But anyway, just 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.040 want to make a comment about why it's important that 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:01.240 black people are concerned about Iran, Israel and now the 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:02.280 United States war. 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:04.400 You remember. 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:09.960 World War two. That war was fought in Europe, but 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:15.400 when the United States got pulled into it, hundreds of 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:19.800 thousands of black gis and clean. Both my grandfathers and 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:23.600 a great uncle, and I'm sure you guys have relatives 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.320 who were in the war got drawn into it, they 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.720 got drafted into it. They had to go fight. It's 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.840 fast forward to the Vietnam War and the Korean War. 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:37.840 Black people had to go fight. Let's fast forward again 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:42.000 and the Iraq War, and once again, young brothers had 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.560 to go fight. And I remember living in Washington, d C. 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.960 Near the old Walter Reed and I would see soldiers 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.600 coming back who lost their legs, and these young men 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:54.080 were mad and angry, and so a lot of people like, well, 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:55.520 you know, I got to deal with issues in here 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.760 in America, but you got to understand everything's related, especially 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.680 when it comes to economics. So get ready for gas 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:05.400 prices to go up, because the Iranians are gonna cut 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.880 off the Spicott and whatever oil's passing through that straight 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.520 up horror moves is gonna get stuck because you've got 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:12.720 all this fighting. 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.039 Ernest, well, thank you for that, and we thank you 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:20.200 for being inside. We clowned you with with love, my 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:21.840 brother the. 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:25.080 Same way in the middle of our intro. 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:29.239 We we uh yes, and we we are so grateful 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.520 that you take the time, want to listen to us 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:35.120 every week, but also to drop a video and uh 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.680 offer your questions and commentary. And that's such a good 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:42.200 point that he made, because should Congress and the President 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:48.080 reinstate the military draft, our boys would would be at 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:52.520 risk first, and so you know could at bone spurs 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.440 as we know did not. He was a dodge or 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.800 draft dodger. Uh and Donald Trump, but he is all 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.160 too willing to put us in a position to have 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:05.360 our boys go and fight an award that they did 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.919 not start. So thank you, thank you for that perspective. 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.680 This is why we like having conversation with our viewers 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:15.159 and we love hearing your points. Andrew. I'm concerned because 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.320 the last time we were all together, the United States 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:23.280 had not bombed Iran the Foord, Oh site. Now we 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:28.680 understand that we have not even really disrupted their nuclear process. 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.520 So at this point I am thinking about That's why 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:34.800 at the State of the People tour in Baltimore, one 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.440 of my favorite parts, we were just walking through a 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:41.839 group of us me Joy read the Mario Solomon Simmons. 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.200 We were just walking through and Michael Harriet and his 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.839 wife Karen and Angela said, do you guys even know 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:48.880 what you're walking through? We were like, no, what is this? 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.760 It was like just shells with empty food, and it 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:58.040 was an entire simulation of what happens should society fall, 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.400 and Iran is not the only way that society can 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.440 fall if a nuke gets If we get hit by 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.080 a nuke, the coastal cities are done. All of us 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.359 live in coastal cities, and so you might have a 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:12.240 situation where it's just Middle America that's left. There's no 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.680 functioning government. What does that look like? So I'm a 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:16.599 little nervous about it. 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:17.160 I don't know. 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.680 I want to hear from Andrew, but Angela, I want 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.240 to hear from you because you were talking about in 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.000 our pre production call some five point plan or five 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.080 action plan or something. So I'm just curious what y'all 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.040 think about all of that, and how nervous y'all are. 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:31.160 Andrew, are you going? 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:35.800 I thought you okay, whomever you go. 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:44.760 Okay, Andrew sink is Lencoln, so I would just say yeah. 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:46.479 So I was just like, you know, just in case 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:47.960 in case of christ. 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.039 I got the issues out of order I was taking, 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:51.719 So you go, okay. 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:51.960 No worries. 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:56.560 So what we did in Baltimore was create like what 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.960 is commonly been known as tabletop exercises or I was 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:03.160 calling it a five points activation. And the reason we 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.080 did this is to ensure that our folks could get 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:09.080 ready again. We spend a lot of time telling people 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.720 all of the things that can happen, and you know, 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:16.600 all of the crises that we are just write one 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.840 step away from experiencing, but not a lot of time 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:20.040 on how we prepare for them. 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.280 So all of this is inevitable. 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.560 It seems to me that our most reasonable service is 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.200 getting people, at least prime to think about how they 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:32.720 would respond. So our first activation point was a store, 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:36.320 a convenience store where there was nothing left on the 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.040 shelves and they were in the middle of a food 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.960 and water supply shortage. How do you respond if there's 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.280 no food on the shelves, and even in the convenience store, 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.440 y'all know that, Like if you can't find nothing else, 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.800 that's seven eleven my head. At toilet paper, you're looking 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.800 for people experienced that during the pandemic. So if you 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.800 go there and there's nothing, now, what do you do 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:58.240 you know? Do you know about the black vendor that 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.160 sells toilet paper? Can you order a in bulk? Do 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.680 you know about the folks down the street that have 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.000 a natural spring and you can get bottled spring water. 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.040 Do you know about the local black farmers that produce 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.160 different types of crops and produce and you know all 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:14.000 of these things? Do you know about them? Are you 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:17.480 connected to them? The second point was whe where the 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.800 electric grid was attacked and power had been out for 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:24.240 thirty days, we had someone acting. Eugene was acting. Even 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.200 the battery operated candles, like people will be like, oh, well, 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.200 I'll be good because I have these candles. What happens 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:30.440 if you don't have to write batteries? 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:32.680 You know? What are you going to eat? 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.320 Do you have the type of meals where you can 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.200 put mix it with hot water and you now have 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:36.839 meals for. 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:38.880 A little while? Do you have enough bottled water? 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:39.080 Like? 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:40.200 What are all those things? 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.559 The third point was if the cell phone towers are 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:48.120 down completely and there's no internet either. We rely on 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.160 these things so that we can organize ourselves around this. 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:52.240 I can call my parents. 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.560 Don't worry if I can't drive because the power goes 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:56.880 out in my car it's stuck in the garage, I'll 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:57.559 call it uper. 0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:59.920 Are you whose number do you read? 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.000 Do you even remember? Like I don't remember a lot 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:04.679 of people's numbers anymore. When we remember a week of 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.680 dial right, right. 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.320 That's it? So whose numbers do you know by heart? 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:10.120 If you can't? 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.760 If you have those phone numbers but the cell phone 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.120 towers are down, do you have a satellite phone? 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:16.880 Did you know about satellite phones? 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:17.160 Right? 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:21.160 The next bunker or the next activation was a bunker. 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.160 If there's a white supremacist attack like the J sixers, 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:27.040 who are basically running the country at this point, attack 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.640 black folks just like they're doing or wearing random ice 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.760 where uniforms. You don't even know if these are actual 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.560 ice officers. What happens if the attack comes to your 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.439 front door or at least on your block. Are you prepared? 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.160 Do you know how to defend yourselves? Do you have 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:45.000 the tools necessary to defend yourselves? The final activation point, 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.000 which I thought was the most scary, and we're starting 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:48.800 to see it become more and more real every day, 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:54.040 is the ice holding facility and officers were grabbing people 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.760 off the line as they came through and zip tying 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.360 them and sitting them along the floor. We had a 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:02.480 surveillance that and what happens. There was a recording that said, 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:06.520 you're at an ice holding facility, you don't have any rights. 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:08.720 You don't have a call you can make. You can't 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.400 call your lawyer. Bathroom breaks are at nine am and 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.880 five pm, and we'll give you water when we have it. 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.959 There's no food right now. How do you respond in 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.240 an environment like that? How do you know to get 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.200 your folks out? Do you know where to find them? 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.280 Is there some what is the thing that we put 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.640 together to ensure that from dread Scott the deportation? 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:30.199 As LDF said right, that we actually. 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:33.520 Have some type of protection of our citizenship ship which 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:34.920 is hanging in the balance right now. 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.320 Yeah, so those are the part points. That's amazing. I'm 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:39.840 scared again, but that's amazing. 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:42.920 Well, the idea is not to scary the ideas to 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.439 force us in the conversations where we think about how 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:46.280 we solve for them. 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.240 They are scary. Tip, I'm not gonna lie to you. 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.560 But for me, the one thing that gave me solace 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:52.760 besides the ice one which is really scary and I 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:54.000 don't have a saft for it. 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:54.720 We do have. 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.880 Answers for most of those. They're expensive too, you know, 0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:59.960 like can we have it? Can we all pull together 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:03.240 by a generator if if you know, if the electric 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:04.600 grid goes out can we do that? 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.160 So anyway, well, Andrew doesn't have a sink right now, 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.160 so what I'm curious. 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:12.120 How are you. 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:15.320 Gyard? 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:20.160 And you know I don't have buterations though, because you 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.160 have three children, you have a wife, and to be 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:26.080 honest with you, look forgive me feminists if this sounds sexist, 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.160 but truly, if there is a man around, we all 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:31.439 look into you like you got to figure out. I'm 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.920 gonna take care of myself. But I wouldn't be if 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:35.840 I was at your house, Andrew, I would be looking 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.720 at you. You have to figure out how to get 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:42.080 us out of here safely, and then your whole family 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.480 is gonna be looking to you in that moment, Daddy 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.360 and husband, what's your plan for us to get out 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:48.960 of here safely? 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.240 And as we know, we've all got lots of friends 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.600 single and otherwise that you know you had a household, 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:56.680 you got to care for the whole thing. 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:57.880 I was just trying to explain to my. 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.240 Kids how uh they have to set the example when 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.160 their friends come over for how to treat our home, 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:08.040 because if you don't know how to take care of 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.600 your home and set the expectation that if you drop 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.719 a thing that's food on the floor, you should pick 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.560 it up immediately because we don't want that squished into 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.400 the wood floor of our home, you know, to take 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:21.880 some pride in that, but to take that to its 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.360 logical extension, we do have to be prepared. 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:25.719 What I was thinking about when I. 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.480 Was listening to some of the scenario playing is that 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:30.679 it doesn't require a war for us to get to 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:32.400 the point where we have to rely on these things. 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:33.480 I mean, I live in Florida. 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:34.520 We deal with hurricanes. 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.199 I mean it feels like, you know, year round, and 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.960 in some ways it's many years round because you know, 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.640 in some instances you're three four years later still trying 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.440 to recover from a storm that that affected your home 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.800 back then. And yes, crises also show up. But I 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.280 think this is important and this is why our guests 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.839 who will be bringing on a few I think is 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.240 going to be relevant for our audience, and that is 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:01.480 you just never know. And in the context of war, 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:06.000 when we are seeing nations and nation states move away 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.280 from you know, wars showing up in the form of 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:15.559 military troops, you know, landing and disembarking and walking down streets, 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.600 that's gonna be our home front issue visa ve look 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.280 at what we see happening under this president in California 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:23.119 and elsewhere. 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:27.040 But when you deal with players that. 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.800 Are not as let's say vast as the United States 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.200 with regard to as military capacity, there are many of 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:38.000 them are going to the systems that disrupt the things 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:41.320 that we rely on every single day. So what happens 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.800 if through the push of a button over the internet 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.440 from anywhere, someone can shut your grid down, someone can 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:51.160 contaminate your water system where you live, someone can decide 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:55.760 that they're going to play with the lights at this 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:59.000 intersection and that intersection and turn out the whole city. 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.960 What it is that we do to to to survive that? 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.480 Because when it gets real real, y'all, and this is 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:09.680 really what the power of that kind of warfare suggests, 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.480 is that their intention is to turn people against people. 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:17.560 So you take away people's food for long enough, we 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.920 become pretty much a pariah, and they are going to 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:24.040 survive for ourselves and for our families. And when it 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:28.359 gets even more scarce, even deadlier, and more harmful, decisions 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.320 start to get made. Because what do we all know 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:34.560 to be the truth at the base of all humanity, 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.440 and that is that a man wants to survive, the 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:39.880 body is built to do such a thing, and you'll 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:43.360 you'll do whatever is required in order to survive. So 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.640 looking forward to looking forward to that, that that conversation. 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.080 All right, it's time to pay some bills. Don't go anywhere, guys, 0:14:50.120 --> 0:15:05.320 We'll be right back on the other side of his break. Well, 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.360 I just I want to say quickly because I want 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.360 to talk about the mayoral race really quickly. But I 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:13.440 just want to say, during the Holocaust, like you had 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.120 older people snatching food from babies because it was this 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.760 primitive survival instincts that kicked in that you needed to eat. 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.520 I am down here in one of those black towns 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:26.160 I told you all about, at the home of Michael Harriet. 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.040 And when I tell you, guys like his whole setup, 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:32.120 like they are growing. They're on to Angela's everything. Angela 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:34.840 was saying, I was thinking, I feel so safe right now. 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.200 If something happened right now, we do have all the 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.960 things Angela talked about there. It sits on twenty two 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:43.640 acres of land. There are multiple gardens, so we could survive, 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.080 sustain ourselves. Here, I'm saying, we like I live with 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:53.120 Michael inn. But we have literally I'm hiding things here 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.120 so I don't have to pack them every time I come, 0:15:55.480 --> 0:16:00.200 but they get there. And that's another thing. If you 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.920 have to flee your area and airports are down, everybody's 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:05.880 going to be on the train tracks, everybody's going to 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:07.480 be on the highway. Are you the kind of person 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:10.160 that builds community, community or you the kind of person 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:12.840 that fights for your own individual survival? I think I'm 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:14.200 the kind of person. I know I'm the kind of 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:17.320 person who would build community. You're welcome to walk with us. 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:19.920 But being here, they are pretty much off the grid. 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:26.760 The house runs on well water. They're growing potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, everything. 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.280 This house is well protected. I'll say that because I 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.040 don't know if Michael harry One means a lot of 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:36.120 his business, but it's well protected like we would all be. 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:40.120 When we talk with our guests, that we can dig 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:44.760 into what are the advantages for those folks who aren't 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:49.720 living in more ruralized areas and still want to survive, 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:51.760 but they don't have the land to grow their own. 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.960 They need blocks from the White House. Andrews, right, I 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.080 know you know very well. I don't know if I 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.600 feel safer there or do I say, like more of 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:03.120 a target, you know? And I can't because in DC, 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.720 you all know you will see snipers on the roof. 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:07.919 That's not that's normal, you know, because like, oh, a 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.639 dignitary is probably coming down this street today, and you 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:14.840 know clearly that's the secret service, you know, Will Iranians 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.240 or not? I don't want to depend on Iranians. Will 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.680 any enemy say I'm going to try to take out 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.919 this white house and like Calisi, who cares who's in 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.320 the surrounding area? Or will it be a bunch of 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:31.399 sleeper cells awakened and individuals committing random acts of violence 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.200 and trying to be prepared for both? And I live alone, 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:39.160 so you know, getting plans of action among our social groups. 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.400 If the network is down, it's like, okay, you got 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:44.200 an hour after something happens to walk to my house 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:46.879 and then we're going to flee gas stations if you 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.120 don't have gas for your car, like how well you dart? 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:50.639 The gas stations are going to be packed. 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:56.240 So anyway, yeah, questions, Yeah, we got all the questions. 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.639 I think we hope we'll get to and so to get. 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.680 Y'all some answers as we as we bring our guests on. 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:03.320 But before we get there. 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.680 Mondani, in case you missed it, don't be embarrassed. There 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:10.720 was a race held this week in New York. The 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.040 pretty big deal for those in the city of New 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:17.240 York because it included, well hel a bunch of candidates, 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.240 one of which was the former governor of New York, 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:23.639 Andrew Cuomo, who had been leading the race the entire time. 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.399 And then as a result of the elections, when people 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.800 got out to be able to decide, they told us 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:33.200 what they wanted. Let's run this clip and see see 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:34.000 what people shows. 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:38.480 Republicans are slamming Mom Donnie as anti capitalism and anti 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:41.120 Semitic for criticizing Israel, which he denies. 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:43.639 He says he's focused on the cost of living. 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:47.760 We have won because New Yorkers have stood up for 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:53.960 a city they can afford, a city where they can 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:58.320 do more than just struggle, one where those who toil 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.639 in the night can enjoy the fruits of their labor 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:02.240 in the day. 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:03.639 Yeah. 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:08.359 So, so we saw and and got to hear. The 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:14.439 news media on the introduction to Zoran's speech, wanted to 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:19.840 type the typecast this race as sort of being about, uh, frankly, 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:24.360 the big national issues, and it sounds to me, based 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:28.280 off of the little and very limited following that I 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:30.040 was able to do from you know, just you know, 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:33.280 down here in Florida, it sounded to me like this 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:36.639 brother really leaned into the everyday issues that appear to 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:38.760 be showing up for people. How do I, you know, 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:42.639 get groceries and under Trump's economy, uh, and still be 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.760 able to enjoy the quality of life that I thought 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.800 I was going to enjoy, you know, living here. They're 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.680
