1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: I'm a real people, real celebrity. The morning everybody is

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: DJ mvy Angela Ye, Charlomagne the God. We are the

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club and we have a special, special, amazing guest

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: with us this morning. Special guests a lot, but we

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: really have a very special guest absolutely here today, the

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: Honorable Minister Lewis firecon ladies and gentlemen. Yes, good morning, sir.

7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: Good morning to you, sir, eighty two years young. Look

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,959
Speaker 1: better than all of us. Now when the last time

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: you did? Uh? I guess terrestrial radio? Oh earlier this

10
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: year w VOKA in Chicago. I don't do much um

11
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: um interviews or whatnot. I always um have felt since

12
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: the seventies are eighties. When I did interviews the media,

13
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: they sent their best at me, and when they could

14
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: not defeat our arguments, they decided to ban me from television,

15
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: and they banned me from going to black colleges and

16
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: even white colleges to deliver a message. So, for all

17
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: intents and purposes, many people thought I had died because

18
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: they didn't see me on television. But that's been changing

19
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: now and for me to be on your show, it's

20
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: a great honor to me because the audience that I'm

21
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: really interested in is our young people. Absolutely, and I

22
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: thank God that you gave me this opportunity. Our young

23
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: people represent the strongest and the best generation that we've

24
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: ever had. They're not the wisest, but they are the

25
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: best because they are failest right. And when you see

26
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: fearless young men and women, that's the generation that God's

27
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: hand is on, because that's the generation that will fulfill

28
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: the promise of the ancestors who died struggling for true freedom,

29
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: justice and liberation. But the young are the generation that

30
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: will deliver on that promise with the right leadership. I want,

31
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: I want to bring it back because the bad thing

32
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: about yourself is you're not in the history books. Like

33
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: they've banned you from social study, so you have to

34
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: google everything, and with googling you and learning your information.

35
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: You're from Harlem and you started off as a musician,

36
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: and you went to Boston, and then while you were

37
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: out in Chicago, explain to the people how you got

38
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: involved with the Nation Islam. I was a musician. I

39
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: grew up with the violin and then I learned that

40
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: I could sing and I sang ballads. My parents being

41
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: from the Caribbean. I learned to sing Calypso music, and

42
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: I had many recordings and played in nightclubs. And I

43
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: was in Chicago at a nightclub called the Blue Angel,

44
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: and I was the featured performer. The name of the

45
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: show was Calypso Follies. And this was in nineteen fifty four,

46
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: and I heard at that time that there was a

47
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: Saviour's Day convention. Some of my friends brought me there

48
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: in February of fifty five and I heard Elijah Muhammad.

49
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: I wasn't quite ready to join a new religion, but

50
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: I was upset as a Christian because I wondered why

51
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: white Christians treated Black Christians so badly and yet said

52
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: we were all from the same God. That didn't ring

53
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: well with me, and my pastor never addressed the condition

54
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: of racism in America and the suffering of black people

55
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: under that kind of tyranny. So when I heard Elijah Mohammad,

56
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: I took out my form and it got lost. But

57
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: I still wasn't quite ready. But when I came back

58
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: to New York, where I was living, I went to

59
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: the mosque and I heard Brother Malcolm, and you know,

60
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: Elijah Muhammad said that God was a man, and when

61
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: I heard Malcolm, I said, maybe this is he, because

62
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: I never heard a black man talk like he talked.

63
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: So I became a Muslim and a student under him.

64
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: And today, of course, we are at that point in

65
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: our development where we are being forced now to consider

66
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: which is the way forward. Singing in, waiting, in, crying

67
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: in praying in has not worked, marches have not worked,

68
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: and the oppression in the tyranny is getting worse. So

69
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: we decided on the twentieth anniversary of the Million Man

70
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: March to return to the capital. The first time we

71
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: went it was on atonement, reconciliation, responsibility. We warned black

72
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: men to accept the responsibility of being a man and

73
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: standing up for our women and our children and creating

74
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: that sense of strong family again. But this time, well,

75
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: I'll put it like this. Elijah Muhammad said to me

76
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: one day, one day, I'm going to call a march,

77
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: and that march will be for justice. And he said

78
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: it won't be like the march in sixty three where

79
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: people were laughing and frolicking and having a good time.

80
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: When you say you're going for justice and jobs, that's

81
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: no time the party. That's the time to be serious

82
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: because the cry for justice against the forces who uphold injustice,

83
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: how you got to have a mind. Now, what are

84
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: you going to do to move the forces of injustice

85
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: if they won't bow to the truth that should bring justice?

86
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: And at that point, we're in the valley of decision.

87
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: We've been living in the valley of the shadow of death,

88
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: but we've been doing the dying. So we got some

89
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: serious decisions to make as a people. And I intend

90
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: to put that before the Congress, before the government, before

91
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice, the President, but more importantly, to

92
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: put it before us as a people. What are we

93
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: going to do to prepare a future for our children

94
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: and our grandchildren? Do you have children? Four? How about you?

95
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: I will six year girl and one on the way.

96
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: May God bless those children to have a future. Yes, sir,

97
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: I just want to keep them off reality TV. Well,

98
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: we got to keep them off a lot of things,

99
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: But the main thing is a decision that we as

100
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: parents make. Every generation that we've produced has confronted white racism.

101
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: Every generation. It doesn't get better. We're fifty years now

102
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: from the March on Washington with Doctor King and the

103
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: Civil rights movement and a few months ago we were

104
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: in Selma celebrating Bloody Sunday that made Lyndon Baines Johnson

105
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: sign of voting rights bill in Congress. Did that, and

106
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen the Supreme Court comes back and guts

107
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: the protection aspect of the bill. So where are we?

108
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: Can we really keep going like this? Or is it

109
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: better since we're gonna die anyway? Why not make a

110
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: difference and pay the price to be free? I saw

111
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: you back in November. You said you gave a speech

112
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: and you spoke on the riots in Ferguson, and you

113
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: said you feel people will only listen to black concerns

114
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: if it's violence against white people. I didn't quite say

115
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: it like that. Well, I don't want to miss quote.

116
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: You know I'm here for you. I'm not that other

117
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: kind of media. The only thing they want to know

118
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: is when they kill us, are you all gonna be peaceful?

119
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: We should we be? That's a question we gotta keep

120
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: asking ourselves. Everybody that stands up for us, they say,

121
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: is this going to be a peaceful demonstration? How can

122
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: peace be there if there's no justice there and the

123
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: government is weak to stand up for us, and we

124
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: pay the taxes of these people that shoot us down.

125
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: We pay the taxes for an education that does not

126
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: educate us properly that we can come out of school

127
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: and do something for ourselves. We gotta go back and

128
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: beg them for what we could unite and do for ourselves.

129
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: We've got some serious decisions to make now. When you

130
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: say that, I understand, and I feel you. But part

131
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: of my problem is I feel like they don't look

132
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: at us until the riots happen. But I see so

133
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: many of us, young black individuals getting arrested, getting those

134
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: fs on our records, and then later on in life.

135
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: It's almost like because we stand up, they give us

136
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: nothing after and we we can't have anything after because

137
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: we have a felony on our record. We can't get

138
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: a job, we can't help raise our children, we can't

139
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: do a lot of those things. So what can we do.

140
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: We have to decide do you still want to live

141
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: under that no, or do we want to confront the

142
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: government and say, like Moses said to Pharaoh, let my

143
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: people go damn it. If we can't get justice, if

144
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: we can't have peace, if our children are dying in

145
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: the streets and there's no redress for our grievances. Why

146
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: the hell should we stay here and continue to live

147
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: like this and then join an army and go somewhere

148
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: and fight for the same damn enemy that's doing what

149
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: he's doing to us. We got to make a decision.

150
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: And there's not much time left to play with life

151
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: and to play with the future of our children. And

152
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: all these weak leaders that are apologists for tyranny, they

153
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: have to get out of the way. Because our children

154
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: are angry. I would not mislead them in their anger

155
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: to do something to get them killed or slaughtered. But

156
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: there is a verse in the Quran that says persecution

157
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: is worse than slaughter. Look at your brother, the Palestinians

158
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: in Gaza. They have nothing. So no court of redress

159
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: has addressed the grievances of the Palestinian people. So these

160
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: are children with stones in their hands against tanks and

161
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: against the armed might of Disraeli defense force. But they

162
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: don't care because they're dead already. So now Israel is

163
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: looking bad all over the world for what they're doing

164
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: to the Palestinians. And now coming out of Crimea, coming

165
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: out of Russia, coming out of China, there's anger over there.

166
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 1: For what America is allowing to have done to us.

167
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: So America's looking bad because we want to go all

168
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: over the world telling other people about their denial of

169
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: human rights. And we're the biggest criminals of all to

170
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: black and brown and poor people. So it's time now,

171
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: somebody gotta make a decision. When you did the million

172
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: man march in nineteen ninety five, is you think twenty

173
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: years later, in twenty fifteen, we still have to march

174
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: for justice. As you think things will get better. No,

175
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: I never thought it would get better just by marching.

176
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: But the enemy is so frightened. We called for one million,

177
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: and nearly two million men showed up. That's an army.

178
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: I didn't rile the army up and say let's go fight.

179
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: I said, look at this. This was the most peaceful

180
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: demonstration in the largest gathering of black men anywhere in

181
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: the world. They went back home to their families, to

182
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:39,239
Speaker 1: their wives, to their children. We took twenty five thousand

183
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: offerings and gave them homes, brothers and sisters registered to vote.

184
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: What did we get out of it? We helped our

185
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: brother get in office, and we were so excited and

186
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: proud to have our first black president. And then when

187
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: our brothers in Baltimore, I mean, that's a city where

188
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: black folk have been catching hell for a long time.

189
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: When they rise up, our president refers to them as

190
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: thugs and criminals. I wanna say to brother Barack, you

191
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: know when the highest office in the land can look

192
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: at our children and call them thugs and criminals, and

193
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: unwittingly he's sentencing them to death by the forces that

194
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: deal with thugs and criminals. They're not thugs, they're not criminals.

195
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: They're angry young people and older people who have stores

196
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: in the community. We should own the stores and serve

197
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: our own needs. But you have Koreans there now. They

198
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: serve us well. We get hair, we get nails, we

199
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: get our feet done. They don't respect us. We have

200
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: Palestinians and Arabs. They're serving us regardless to their suffering

201
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: back in their homeland. They don't handle us with the

202
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: respect of somebody that's taken money out of our community

203
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: and they don't leave nothing in the black community. They

204
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: take them our money and they go build Korea town,

205
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: they go build other towns while we're sitting here with nothing.

206
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: All of this gotta stop. And the only one that's

207
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: gonna stop. It is us. But the war that we

208
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: gotta fight is on two fronts. We can't go to

209
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: Washington and tell the government, step up, you stop killing us.

210
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: And Mayor Giuliani comes up and says, seventy of the

211
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: people that die in the hood are black people killing

212
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: black people. He's not lying. So we've got to go

213
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: in our community and straighten that out. They are not

214
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: guilty in our community. This is what you call social engineering.

215
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: The enemy planned this and did it, and pardon me.

216
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: You know, I'm very passionate because I don't have no

217
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: time to waste. I'm an old man, and I don't

218
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: see for the round with the truth. Because we don't

219
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: have time for diplomatic language. We gotta say it like

220
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: it is and then back it up with our lives

221
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: if necessary. I'm eighty two. I don't know how much

222
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: time I got, but I want to leave this world

223
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: with our people in a better state. But sometimes it's

224
00:18:55,080 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: gonna take the sacrifice of life to produce a better tomorrow.

225
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: So the tea Party, not the present political tea party,

226
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: but the tea party that in Boston dumped all the

227
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: tea that they used to make money in the harbor.

228
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: That was a criminal act from the vantage point of

229
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: King George. But on the side of those who were

230
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: suffering under the tyranny of the Crown of England, it

231
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: was an act of rebellion that led to a war

232
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: that brought America into existence. So I'm saying this to

233
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: our president and to others. These are not thugs and criminals.

234
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: They have been put in a condition by thugs and

235
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: by criminals. Now let me bring them to the witness

236
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: stand and see who these criminals are. Just a minute. Brother,

237
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: By the way, I didn't know my spirit would be

238
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: like this. I'm not lying. I'm speaking now, but there's

239
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: another power driving me to say these things because it

240
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: is time that they be said. And we can't back

241
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: up all these leaders that want to lead black people

242
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: in this hour. Speak truth to power and be willing

243
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: to back truth up with your life, then change will come.

244
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: But listen to this, brother. I'm an old man, now,

245
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: don't you keep saying that. I look at this, Look

246
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: at this, brother. When I was a young boy living

247
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: in Boston, there were always factories in the inner city

248
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: for the less educated worker that he could have a job,

249
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: bring home some money, take care of his family. We

250
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: had church, school, neighborhood. We had gangs then, but we

251
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: never killed one another. But look at this. Forty years ago,

252
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: I was overseas in Africa. I came back to America

253
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: and I read in the newspapers that they said we

254
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: should not put money into the inner cities because the

255
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: inner cities are ready to explode. All of a sudden,

256
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: the factories the inner cities began to close, government reaches,

257
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: trade agreements, and money or factories leave America go to

258
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: Third World countries where the labor market is cheap. So

259
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: when the jobs close down in the inner cities, the

260
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: black man, who is unskilled labor is left in the lurch. Now,

261
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, drugs come in. We become involved

262
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: in crime as the only way to make a living

263
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: when you don't know how to make a job for yourself.

264
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: Who steps into that picture. And I'll quote the Bible

265
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: better because I want you to really see this. Paul said,

266
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: we wore not against flesh and blood, but against principalities

267
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: and powers, and the rulers of the darkness of this

268
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: world and spiritual wickedness in high places. This social engineering

269
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: didn't come from little white people. This social engineering came

270
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: from the very top of the socio economic ladder. Reagan

271
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: was a great anti communist human being, and when the

272
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: Sandinistas arose in Nicaragua, Reagan did not want that area

273
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: to become socialist or communist. He went to Congress asked

274
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: Congress to back him to fight against the rise of

275
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: the and Dnistas in Nicaragua. Congress turned him down. So

276
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: Reagan went to King Fahad in Saudi Arabia and got

277
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: ten million dollars. But that wasn't enough. So the CIA

278
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: under Bush George H. W. Bush, they brought drugs through

279
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: Freeway Rick into America and crack cocaine was developed. Any

280
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: time black people become conscious, drugs are entered into the equation.

281
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: Because the church can't hold young people no more, education

282
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: can't hold them anymore, so let's make them drug addicts.

283
00:24:54,560 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: And then now biological and chemical weapons AIDS. Where did

284
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: that come from? That? Our women are the number one

285
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: purveyors of age virus. That's not an accident. Excuse me

286
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: for my passion, but I'm telling you, man, we are

287
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: living in the very valley of the shadow of death.

288
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: And if somebody doesn't rise up to tell the truth

289
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: and marshal the forces for justice. Then we're going to

290
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:32,959
Speaker 1: be like this when your young girls yours become women.

291
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: And by the way, having a baby today is a

292
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: disaster because the minute the baby is born, now they

293
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: want to take the child from you and give it

294
00:25:47,160 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: an injection, some kind of vaccination or some kind of chemical.

295
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: Robert Kennedy Jr. Was at my home a week or

296
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: so ago, and Bobby Kennedy Jr. Was representing a man

297
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: in the Center for Disease Control who blew the whistle

298
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: that the CDC was responsible for developing a vaccine that

299
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: is genetically prepared or concocted to affect black males. This

300
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:49,239
Speaker 1: is the Bible kill the male, spared the female. And

301
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: it's going on right now. They're take your baby. They're

302
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: sneaking in the ward where the baby is born. If

303
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: the parents are not looking to take the baby and

304
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: inject them with what what are they injecting them with?

305
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 1: According to Bobby Kennedy and the research and scientists, then

306
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:17,959
Speaker 1: injecting them with vaccines that are high in mercury, and

307
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: this mercury starts eating at the cells of the brain.

308
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: They realize their world is finished. There's no more white

309
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: supremacy ruling. That's over. We are awakening. Now you're gonna

310
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: have to compete with awakened black men and women, awakened

311
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: brown men and women, awakened red men and women, and

312
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: awakened poor white people. You're not gonna play the game

313
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: over the masses of the people anymore. And that's why

314
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: the big new Brazinski said, it is easier to kill

315
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:02,959
Speaker 1: a million people than to control a million people. They've

316
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: lost control, but they're killing through food vaccines. I'm not

317
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: saying you shouldn't take a vaccine, but you shouldn't be

318
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: stupid and think that the same man that gave the

319
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: Indians small pox through blankets, that that same man has

320
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: your interests at heart. When he says we have a

321
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 1: vaccine for you, you better wake up and look up.

322
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: So I'm saying that because Bobby Kennedy can't get support

323
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: because the pharmaceuticals have bought off Congress. Did you hear me?

324
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: He can't he can't get a congressman, a senator to

325
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: bring him before Congress and subpoena the whistle blow blower

326
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: from CDC because the pharmaceuticals have bought off the Congress.

327
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: I said, mister Kennedy, how formidable are your opposers? He

328
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: had a chemist there, he had a billionaire there who's

329
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: a philanthropist. And the billionaire looked at me and said,

330
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: it's very difficult. I mean, I see, And then he

331
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: said I could get on CNN tonight. He was on

332
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: Bill Maher's show, but he said, I they won't allow

333
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: me to say this. Say you can say anything else

334
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: because the pharmaceuticals have bought off the media. I said, well,

335
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: what about black preachers, Since it's it's directed against black males,

336
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: what are we doing? He said, I'm sorry, they're not

337
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: responding either. Some of us have been paid off by

338
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: the farm parmaceutical companies. I said, well, what about the

339
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: Congressional Black Caucus. He said, I'm sure they would like

340
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: to help, but they're weak. So that's why he showed

341
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: up at my door. Am I the only man that

342
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: don't fare death to speak truth to power? Don't? I

343
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: have strong brothers and sisters out there that will stand

344
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: with me. I'm prepared to go alone because if God

345
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: is with me, I'm still the winner. It's just me

346
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: and God. But it's a shame that we are so corrupt,

347
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: so in love with money, that we will sell out

348
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: the future of our people for dollar. Bill, Well, what

349
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: are you gonna do when the dollar crashes? That's on

350
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: the way. So all of you who betray each other

351
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: for a dollar, who kill each other for a dollar,

352
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: who are bought off by a dollar, but you're gonna

353
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: have to find another medium of exchange because the dollar

354
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: in a little while won't be worth a dime. So

355
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, brothers, I don't all this long, but man,

356
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: I'm so full. It's dangerous when you get me on

357
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: your show. Why do you think? Um? You know a

358
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: lot of artists now aren't afraid to stand with you

359
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: publicly because a lot of people used to like to

360
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: talk to you in private because, like you said, they

361
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: thought it would mess up their money. Like he said,

362
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: before we thought he was dead. We didn't see him anymore,

363
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: we didn't hear him anymore. But now artists will stand

364
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: by you a lot of Like you said, a lot

365
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: of artists wouldn't stand by you because they would mess

366
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: up their bottom line, which is the dollar. A consciousness now,

367
00:31:53,920 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: there's a consciousness, especially in our young rappers. Did you

368
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: know that there was a conspiracy. Oh, brothers, I'm so

369
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: full let it out. You know, there was a meeting

370
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles with some very powerful men and they

371
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: were meeting. According to what I heard of record executives,

372
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: these men that were meeting were now the owners of

373
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: private prisons. It's like when you build a hotel, you're

374
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: looking for occupancy. So you're not going to build a

375
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: thousand bed hospital if you don't think you can attract

376
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: a thousand people every week or every day to stay

377
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: in your hotel. So they're building private prisons now. And

378
00:32:53,400 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: these men wanted the music executives to turn the rap

379
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: of men like KRS One Big Daddy Cane public enemy,

380
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: those conscious lyrics. They wanted to change it to gangster rap.

381
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: This didn't happen accidentally, they allowed that to develop promoted beefs.

382
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: So then we start shooting each other. We end up

383
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: where in prison felony. When you're in prison, who do

384
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: you work for? Because the thirteenth Amendment says that we

385
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: are free if we don't get into trouble, but if

386
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: we are arrested and found guilty of a crime, our

387
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: citizenship goes out the window. That's in the thirteenth Amendment.

388
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: This man does not give you anything where you don't

389
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: look in it and find a trick waiting for you.

390
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: So now here we are in prison, working for IBM,

391
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: working for motor Rolla, working for companies with skills. Now

392
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: that they teach us in prison that we can make

393
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 1: money for corporate interests that pay money to the prison

394
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,720
Speaker 1: man that owns the prison, and when we come out

395
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: of prison, there's no work for us. Even though we

396
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: were working for these big corporations while we were in prison.

397
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: Once we are out, we can't work no more. That's

398
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: forcing us into behavior that they can say we're criminal.

399
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: We're not the criminal. The criminals out of one that

400
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: create the conditions that turn us into less than what

401
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 1: we could be. So I want to expose all of

402
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: this so and I have been doing it. So the

403
00:34:54,120 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: young rappers they say, d'am you know, excuse me, farkon,

404
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: this is real. I say, yes, brother. I was with

405
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: brother Snoop and I was telling my brother how you

406
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 1: rappers are the new leaders. You're the real leaders of

407
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: the people. The rapper doesn't think he's a leader, but

408
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: he's got followers all over the world. The biggest preachers

409
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: don't have as many followers as one rapper. So it's

410
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: the question, now, how can we get you to rap

411
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: where intelligence is coming through the lyrics with a beat

412
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: that begins to open the minds of people. Our people

413
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: want better and they'll do better if they're shown better.

414
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:58,720
Speaker 1: So my brothers that are rappers, I'm speaking now specifically

415
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: of Snoop. I have an album coming out, by the way,

416
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 1: and I just finished it. What you're doing, oh man,

417
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: I'm doing a lot of stuff. Now you're singing on

418
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: that you're talking, Yeah, okay, it's it's the minister's life

419
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: in music. Elijah Muhammad asked me to give it up,

420
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: and I did, and I gave up what I my

421
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: talent was because the word that he taught meant more

422
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: to me than my music, because the word would stimulate

423
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 1: consciousness among our people that would allow us to be

424
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: better by learning to love each other, learning to your

425
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: night with each other, learning to pool our resources to

426
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 1: do some constructive things for each other and for ourselves.

427
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: So just before he left us in seventy two, I

428
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: brought my violence then out to Chicago and I played

429
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: for him and he said, boy, he said, you really

430
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: can play that thing. So A week or so later,

431
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: he called me back out to Chicago and he told

432
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 1: me bring your violin. And when I went out, it

433
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: was a little Ishmael who is now my assistant. He

434
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: was a little boy then, and his brother Russeul and Ahmed,

435
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: and they put on a skit and then his wife,

436
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: mother Taneta Muhammad, she played the piano, and then he says, well,

437
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: why don't you play the violin? And I got up

438
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 1: and played, and I noticed a frown on his face.

439
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: He said, brother, isn't that the same song you played

440
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 1: the last time you were here. I said yes, sir,

441
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: he said, well, don't you know anything new? So he

442
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 1: was putting me back in my music. See, the violin

443
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: is such a very difficult instrument to play, but you

444
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: can't play classical music and not grow into a universal mind.

445
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: And that's why music is loved all over the world,

446
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: because it is a universal language. Well, why did Elijah

447
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: Muhammad put me back on this music? Do you mind

448
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: my going into you know, when he asked me to

449
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: give up music, I made a song that was inspired

450
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 1: by brother Malcolm. He used to write for the Amsterdam

451
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: News and his column was the Angry black Man, and

452
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: this week he wrote a column, A white man's heaven

453
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: is a black man's hell. So I took that title

454
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: and made a song, and in the sixties it was

455
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: an underground hit. In fact, it's what converted Muhammad Ali.

456
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: And when you when Mohammed was, before he was Muhammed,

457
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: he was castious clay. But you meet him. He would

458
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:30,439
Speaker 1: start off, while we call negroes, while we're deaf, dumb

459
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 1: and blind. Why is everybody making progress yet we seem

460
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: to be lagging so far behind. That's the way the

461
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: song starts. It was really wrapped in fifty six. Would

462
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: you mean Kanye gonna remix it? What's going on? He

463
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: got a surprise coming. So look, I come back to this.

464
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 1: I was talking to Snoop, I said, Snoop, I would

465
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: love to see you make a rap to take young

466
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: people away from government leaders who are using their patriotism

467
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: and their zeal for evil and making them think they're

468
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: making the world safe for America. Anytime you got a

469
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 1: president that's a liar, did you hear me? That would

470
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: lie to the American people that Saddam Hussein had weapons

471
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 1: of mass destruction and colon power. Our brother was used

472
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: because he had integrity. They put him before the UN

473
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: and he backed the line that was concocted by the

474
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: intelligence community. So all these young men and women went

475
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:19,280
Speaker 1: to war on the basis of a lion, A lion Afghanistan,

476
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: a lie in Iraq. And what's the result of that lie?

477
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: Almost the whole treasury of America was destroyed prosecuting a

478
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 1: war that was not for democracy or patriotism or anything noble.

479
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: It was for oil and the reserve oil that was

480
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: in Iraq. America wanted control of it and they wanted

481
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 1: to plant bases there because they feared the rise of Iran.

482
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: So you got soldiers that are being used all over

483
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: the world that are young. We got ten year olds

484
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: in Africa being used as soldiers, killing each other at

485
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 1: ten years old for no real, honorable, noble purpose. So

486
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: I said, Snoop, you know, if if we could make

487
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: a rap that helps our young people to see the

488
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: value of their lives, that they shouldn't allow their lives

489
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: to be used by governments. And then when they come

490
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: home from Iraq, they get no support. So my brother

491
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: went away and he came back with a song Let's

492
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: change the world. And I loved the song, so much

493
00:42:55,680 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: that I made it the theme of the album. Let's

494
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: change the world. That's who you are, brother, that's who

495
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 1: you are. That's who you are, sister, That's who our

496
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: young people are. This world is finished, but we have

497
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 1: been chosen by God to be the cornerstone of a

498
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 1: brand new reality. And it's time now for us to

499
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 1: come in and clean up and let's go to work, man,

500
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,839
Speaker 1: to build a real government that's by the people, of

501
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: the people and for the people, because this one is not.

502
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: But love to get your take on something that we've

503
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: been discussing at work a lot. When people get successful,

504
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: some of our artists, they leave where they came from

505
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: and they're like, don't go back, you know, to the

506
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: hood because it's danger is you don't want to go there,

507
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: just stay away, no reason to be there. And I

508
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: would love to hear what you have to say about that. Well,

509
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: if that's the attitude, that's a bad attitude. What do

510
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: you mean I can't go back to where I came from,

511
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: where I was nurtured. So I've got money and I

512
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: want to live in a better a neighborhood, live in

513
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: a bigger home. There's nothing wrong with that. But what

514
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: happens when we are like that, we don't see our

515
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: connection and go back and lift that community out of

516
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: which we emerged. Elijah Muhammad said this, and I say

517
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: this to our president, my dear brother, Elijah Muhammad said,

518
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:44,720
Speaker 1: no one man can rise above the condition of his people.

519
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,439
Speaker 1: You have become the president of the United States and

520
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: went on television to start tweeting. And how did they

521
00:44:55,760 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: treat you? They called you at every turn. They talked

522
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: about you, talked about your wife, talked about your children.

523
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: You cannot escape being who you are no matter what

524
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: kind of power you think you have. Soon you be

525
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: coming back home. We'll make you a real president of

526
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: a real nation that I think you can lead in

527
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 1: a better direction. The Black nation is coming up. We

528
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: want a nation of our own, and we will have

529
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: it by the grace of God. Or without a home.

530
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:38,479
Speaker 1: What I like to say is, you know, you gotta

531
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 1: get out, you gotta give back, and you gottascribe to

532
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: make it better. Because I feel like you know, it

533
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: is dangerous for young brothers like us when you do

534
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 1: get to a certain level, because you do have certain

535
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: people that we grew up with who do want to

536
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: cause us harm. So we just can't be out there

537
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: hanging on the corner, hanging in the hood like that.

538
00:45:54,880 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 1: I mean, see what has happened to us? Brother? See

539
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: when you make it, the question is now, how are

540
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 1: we making it? It's like fifty crabs in a barrel.

541
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: One crab trying to get up and another one pulls

542
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: it down. But the barrel maker and the crab master,

543
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 1: he go in the barrel and pull a crab up

544
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: and put it on the top of the barrel and

545
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: make the other crabs think you can get there too.

546
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: And what they do They use the successful ones to

547
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 1: lead us to think that America is for us, that

548
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: as I made it, you two can make it. Stop

549
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 1: telling that lie. When you are a great basketball player,

550
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: you are a great basketball player in a plantation owned

551
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: by your enemy, and you a rich slave. Did you

552
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: see the brothers running up and down trying to make

553
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: it into the NFL? Well, what was that? That's like

554
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: your great great grandfather standing on an auction block. Show

555
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: me your muscle. Oh, this is a strong and you

556
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: run around, squeezes behind and look at his muscle. How

557
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: much can I get for this one? That's what you

558
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: are today. You're nothing but a show horse. I'm not

559
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:29,280
Speaker 1: putting you down. I love you, But don't you ever

560
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 1: think that these people that make you millionaires love you.

561
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: They give it to you, and five years after you're

562
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: out of the league, you're broke, you're busted, you're sick. No,

563
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 1: none of them will ever teach you how to marshal

564
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: your money. They pull their resources and buy up things

565
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: that make a difference, create jobs. You use your money

566
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,760
Speaker 1: to put something in the hood. That's your giving back,

567
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: a little basketball court or a little community center. We

568
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: applaud you for that, but we would applaud you more

569
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 1: if you say, brother, how many million you got? I

570
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 1: got a few, You got a few, You got a few.

571
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: Let's pull our money and buy up America. Since America

572
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:25,959
Speaker 1: is for sale, how you gonna create jobs? And all

573
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 1: this land is out here ready to be bought, and

574
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: we don't pull our money and buy real value, which

575
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: is real estate, and the real estate is land. From

576
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: the land comes everything. So yes, brother, they prey on

577
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: you because when you come home, you got money, and

578
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: so your homies here shali man. Man. You know, man,

579
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: you're making it. I'm glad you're making it. Brother. You

580
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 1: know how we do I'm glad you make it, but

581
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 1: you know I have a little problem. I need a

582
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: little help, absolutely, and everybody now didn't know. You need

583
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: the same kind of help. And if you don't do it,

584
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,439
Speaker 1: you're not real. Oh he ain't really now you didn't

585
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: grow the and walked away from us, and now you

586
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: think you better than us. You didn't change doing us, see,

587
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: and then they attack you. That's what they did with

588
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: our brother Um from the Celtics, Antonina Walker, yes see.

589
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: And they do it to rappers as well. But you

590
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: know why they do that because you have and they don't.

591
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:40,720
Speaker 1: And the enemy makes you the buffer between their wicked

592
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: machinations using our sports figures are entertainers. They give you

593
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: what they call it um endorsements, right all right now,

594
00:49:55,880 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 1: on my shoe, if it's a if it's an Nike,

595
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: my brother Michael is on it. Where's it made? Made overseas?

596
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: How much did it cost? So you got young brown people,

597
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: yellow people, black people making Nike for eight or nine

598
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: dollars and it's coming back here and you go into

599
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 1: shopping mall. What are you paid for your shoes? Two

600
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:33,919
Speaker 1: hundred dollars? So everybody making a profit and Nike think

601
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: they well, you know, Michael, we gave him a big,

602
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: a big endorsement, but Nike ain't given nothing to black people.

603
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: That's why when I say or else, they got to

604
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 1: be a way to make them responsible to the people

605
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: who make them rich. You know, if you go to

606
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: church and Raven expect you, yes, a brother, come on,

607
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: and you know tithing is ten percent of what the

608
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: Lord bless you. We're tithing should be ten percent of

609
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:17,919
Speaker 1: what we the lords bless these major companies with. But

610
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 1: as long as a few individuals get fat, the masses

611
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: still stay poor and skinny. We gotta change that reality.

612
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 1: And that's why we're going to Washington to say it's

613
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 1: justice or else. What can we do? Like when we're

614
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 1: in positions where we do work for these companies, what

615
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: should we be doing with the resources we get from

616
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: these companies? What the money from these companies? Basically, we

617
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: should learn the value of pooling our resources. As an individual,

618
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: we can't do much right now. Magic Johnson, it's a

619
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 1: very rich brother. But Magic didn't put up all those Starbucks.

620
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: Magic was called in to bring his money to join

621
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:16,959
Speaker 1: with others with money, and they put up Starbucks. He's

622
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 1: a partner in that he gets something. I want to

623
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: shout out to my brother Mayweather. I really admire my brother.

624
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 1: I just think about this Mayweather. Money, money, money, Mayweather.

625
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 1: Look here, brother, money. As long as Bob Barum had you,

626
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: he was making the money. Give you something. But look

627
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:56,399
Speaker 1: at what happened when you jumped him. You wanted to

628
00:52:56,440 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: fight with de la Joya, and you asked this man

629
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 1: for twenty million. He said, oh that kind of money.

630
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 1: Don't even Maxis. See, the white man will always tell

631
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 1: you that crap to keep you satisfied with nothing while

632
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: they take everything for themselves. That's why you don't hear

633
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: them going broke. You don't hear them with their children

634
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: not able to get a decent education. They sucked the

635
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: blood out of you black people to maintain a heavy,

636
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 1: high lifestyle, and they don't buy Buggatti's or whether you

637
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 1: call that car Buggatti, you Buggatti. But look, my dear brother,

638
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: I noticed that Warren Buffett was coming around you. I

639
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: know he's a very wise man in business, but I

640
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 1: know these people are looking at you and the money

641
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: that you have amasked. They don't of you. In fact,

642
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: they really hate the fact that you could dump Barbararum

643
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:11,800
Speaker 1: and now are running five hundred million, six hundred million,

644
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 1: going toward a billion dollars that you've made on your own.

645
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: They didn't give you no endorsements. They didn't give you nothing.

646
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: So they can tell you that maybe you can't read

647
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: or you can write, but you can think. And you

648
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 1: outthought them. Michael Jackson, your brother, he outthought them. He

649
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: became dangerous because he owned the catalog of Elvis Presley

650
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: and the Beatles, and all they were trying to do

651
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:47,320
Speaker 1: was take it from him. And they want to take

652
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 1: your wealth. Please, brother, be careful because when they ask

653
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:58,479
Speaker 1: you to invest and you invest in in in Burger King,

654
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 1: don't do that, brother, they ain't not feeding your people.

655
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:10,319
Speaker 1: Well you would die probably in sixty days if you

656
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: just ate Burglar Kid. So don't give your people what

657
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: you can't use yourself. So, mister Buffett, I'm surprised at

658
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 1: you guiding my brother like that. I think. Brother, if

659
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 1: they try to get you to invest in stocks and barns,

660
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 1: be careful, brother, because if the stock market crash, all

661
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:38,800
Speaker 1: your money go down. The two No. Man, let's invest

662
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: in land, get as much as we can because from

663
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: the land comes, food, clothing, shelter, everything we need comes

664
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 1: out of the earth like we do. So I just

665
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: want to shout out to your brother, don't let the

666
00:55:55,600 --> 00:56:00,800
Speaker 1: blood suckers come near you now, because you a wise

667
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: man who became rich without their assistance, but with the

668
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 1: skillful use of your mind. Don't go to sleep because

669
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 1: rich white people say they like you. Well, you know, minister,

670
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons. One of the reason may where

671
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 1: they don't get a lot of endorsements is because it

672
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: is criminal history. Oh excuse me, it's all right. It's

673
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: all right, talk brothers. All right, it's the breakfast club.

674
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: Anything goes, It's all right, it's all right. We're gonna

675
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,439
Speaker 1: earn our title, the title of the world most Nati

676
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: this morning show. We're gonna earn it this morning. Brother,

677
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: that's BS. I have to say this. Man Um. You know,

678
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: brother Kennedy, his father Um was in bootlegging. Joe Kennedy.

679
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 1: Was that criminal behavior back in those days when it

680
00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 1: was prohibition. Yeah, that's right. So he made a lot

681
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: of money, so did Dutch Shultz. He was a Jewish criminal.

682
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 1: He died peacefully with all his money. How you mean

683
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,919
Speaker 1: to tell me if we get into little trouble. You're

684
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 1: not gonna give me an endorsement with all the criminal behavior.

685
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 1: See for me without five domestic violence charges now against women? Yeah,

686
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: yes's up. Oh that's that's that's too bad. Man. Look

687
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: some of them discharging you. You know I'm in Look, man,

688
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 1: you really need a lawyer. I ain't talking about a

689
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: punk lawyer. You need a man like me to go

690
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: to bath for you. Because look what's the brother's name

691
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 1: that they just let back in the league. Yeah, and

692
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: he got to I've learned, you know my lesson. Man,

693
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:07,919
Speaker 1: Shut up? You beat that behind. My behind will beat

694
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 1: many times. And I'm not too bad. I ain't never

695
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 1: been arrested, but that that may change. But you want

696
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: to arrest me for drugs or for criminal activity, You'll

697
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 1: arrest me for speaking truth to power. You'll arrest me

698
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 1: for uniting our people, and if necessary, we'll do what

699
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 1: is necessary to be done in order to pass on

700
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: to our next generation the freedom that we've never had

701
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: and the justice that we've never had. Keep doing what

702
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: you're doing. The army is rising. And by the way,

703
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 1: the dry bones in the valley, when they finally heard

704
00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 1: the word of God, they stood up what exceedingly great army.

705
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: So you know this is this is madness. They want

706
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 1: to make an example of you because you went to prison.

707
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 1: I don't think no man should be the woman, not

708
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: one of us. Now. I smacked my wife once. She

709
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 1: smacked me back, and I never hit that woman again.

710
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 1: And we've been married sixty one years. You know, sometime

711
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: a man can't handle a woman more. Most of them

712
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 1: are smarter. They study us, and they can push a

713
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: button with their tongue that will make you want to

714
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: go to nut City. Absolutely, but don't do it. Don't

715
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: be your woman. She is your second self. We got

716
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 1: to honor and respect her and lift her. But look

717
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:09,479
Speaker 1: at this. My mother whipped me and she would ask

718
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 1: me did I do A or B? And I would lie,

719
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: so she would beat me for what I did. Didn't

720
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 1: beat me for Lyne. And there was a little West

721
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: Indian woman from Barbados who used to visit my mother.

722
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 1: And when they thought I was asleep, of course I

723
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 1: was listening. So my little I call her a mama

724
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: from Barbados. She said to my mother, Yeah, I'm Mazie.

725
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: You know. I was beating Darnley behind and the boy

726
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: crying out like I was killing me on. The neighbor

727
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 1: called the police. On the police show up at my door,

728
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: a big Irish cop. I said, come in, we heard

729
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 1: that there was screaming here. She said, yes, I was

730
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 1: disciplining my child. And she looked at the Irish cop.

731
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: She said, did your mother beat you? He said, oh, yes, ma'am.

732
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 1: He said, you see that stick upon your side and

733
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 1: that gun upon your hip. I beat in mine today,

734
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 1: so you won't have to beat in with that tomorrow,

735
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 1: So I won't you starting there while I beat him

736
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 1: ross And she got that boy out from under the

737
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 1: bed and beat the hell out of him in the

738
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 1: presence of the police. So how the hell you're gonna

739
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 1: tell me I can't beat my child? But if I

740
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 1: do anything, and even before I do it, you pull

741
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 1: that damn stick out and rub it all over my

742
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: head and take this to the court. And showed him

743
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 1: the back of black men and women beaten on the plantation.

744
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:11,479
Speaker 1: What the hell was that? Don't let these people tell

745
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 1: you you can't do when that's all they do. But

746
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: don't mistreat your children. Don't beat them out of anger

747
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: and frustration. But sometime a good spanking helps. So these

748
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 1: white people, and they tell you you shouldn't hit, you

749
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,920
Speaker 1: shouldn't do this. That's why your children ain't worth a

750
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 1: damn that teachers beating kids in school. That's they beat me.

751
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 1: When I was coming up, there was corporal punishment. They

752
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 1: had what they call a rattan. It was a like

753
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 1: a small piece that looked like bamboo, and they soaked

754
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: it in water. And if I did something wrong, they

755
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 1: take me in the dressing room and I had to

756
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 1: put my hands out and they would beat my hands

757
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: with that red tan. Yeah. So look, man, the Bible

758
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: ain't wrong. Don't spare the rod and spoil the child.

759
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 1: If you have to touch them up, go ahead. I've

760
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 1: been touched up, and I'm not a bad man, and

761
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: I touched mine up and they're doing all right. Lord,

762
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't let this man tell me a damned thing

763
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 1: about how to raise children. You know how to make

764
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 1: a slave. And you made sure you made us afraid

765
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 1: of you with what you would do to us violently.

766
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: So don't you ever talk to us about not spanking

767
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: our children. And didn't want to bring us into court

768
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: and shame us for using a switch. What did grandma say, Boy,

769
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 1: go over there? And get that switch off, the chair

770
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 1: off the tree. Even Charleston, South Carolina. Just now, man, yes, now,

771
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 1: one of the biggest misconceptions about you, ministers. No, people

772
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 1: like to say he hates white people, he hates Jewish people.

773
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: Thank you. No, I'm not a hater. I'm not in

774
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 1: trouble because I hate. If I was a hater of you,

775
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 1: out to kill a lot of you, did you hear me?

776
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 1: Go find me anyone that follows me that have killed

777
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 1: a white person or a jew. What's killing you is

778
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 1: the truth that's coming out of my mouth. And you

779
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 1: would like to, hey, somebody or get some fool to

780
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 1: try and kill me to satisfy you. That's how you

781
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:10,760
Speaker 1: do black men that you can't buy and you can't bend.

782
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 1: But don't come this way with that thought about killing

783
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: because you better think real good about that one. And

784
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm taking it all the way up to the President

785
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:29,240
Speaker 1: of the United States. Think well, because I'm not here

786
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: by myself of myself, there's a God back in me.

787
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 1: That's why I can talk like I talk without fear.

788
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 1: Then try me and see if there's a real God

789
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 1: behind me. What do you think about the president? Because

790
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 1: we all came. I was in love with my brother

791
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: and I still love him even when he denounced you.

792
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: Oh man, if I hated everybody that denounced man, I

793
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 1: would being bad shape. People denounce me because it may

794
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 1: them available to white people. I want a job, man,

795
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 1: if I denounce Farcon, they may let me in. It

796
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: was Hillary that pressed Barrock to denounce me. He didn't

797
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 1: want to denounce me. So remember now your time is coming,

798
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 1: miss Clinton. See how you take it. We are not

799
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 1: voting for white people just to vote. You mean to

800
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 1: put your vote in your pocket unless they can show

801
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:44,439
Speaker 1: you that they're worthy of it, not by playing some saxophone.

802
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 1: If you can't get justice, you can't get my vote.

803
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: If you can't help me to be better than what

804
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 1: I am, you can't get my vote. And that's where

805
01:06:56,480 --> 01:07:00,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna teach black people all over America this this

806
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 1: election season. You're not gonna use us like that. How

807
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 1: do we trust them? Because you know they're gonna come

808
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: and trust them. You know they're gonna come and talk

809
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 1: about police reform and tell everything we want to hear

810
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: what police reform exactly body cameras. Oh good, that's what

811
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 1: they say. Oh yeah. And then hold up just a minute.

812
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 1: I know you. Yeah, but it looks that way that

813
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 1: we shot the man all these times in the back.

814
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 1: It just looks that way. But you gotta be patient

815
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 1: when till all the facts are in. But you looking

816
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 1: at me, but we're watching the video. Yeah, understand. No, brother,

817
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: ain't no such thing as training a racist mind to

818
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 1: love you better. Don't let them sell you that mess.

819
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 1: Do you know what's going really going on? In nineteen

820
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 1: fifty six, Elijah Muhammad was in a debate with mister J. B. Stoner,

821
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 1: the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, and mister

822
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:08,000
Speaker 1: Muhammad was tanning him up, you know, And then in

823
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 1: the next round, mister Stoner said, one day soon, we

824
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 1: won't be wearing this robe and this little dunce hat.

825
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:32,559
Speaker 1: He said, we'll be in the police department. We'll be judges,

826
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 1: we'll be prosecutors, we'll be bankers. But we'll all have

827
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 1: the same mind that we have with these uniforms. On third,

828
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 1: good Marshal, was he not our first black member of

829
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court? Before he left, before he died, he said,

830
01:08:56,920 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 1: the clan used to wear white. Today they're wearing black.

831
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:08,880
Speaker 1: What did he mean that? The same racist mind that

832
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:13,680
Speaker 1: was in that little silly man down in Georgia and

833
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:20,440
Speaker 1: Alabama and Indiana Tennessee. Now they're in the police department.

834
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 1: They're in the judges a seat. So now a man,

835
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:29,639
Speaker 1: what you got a gun in your hand? A man?

836
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 1: You say, he you didn't know what he had in

837
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 1: his hand, so you shot him. Do you know what

838
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:41,040
Speaker 1: would happen if black people started acting like white police

839
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 1: World War three? Look at this? Just try this picture on.

840
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:51,559
Speaker 1: I'm a black man, but I own a pistol. I

841
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:57,639
Speaker 1: see a white man coming towards me in blue say,

842
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm terrified. What's that that he has

843
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:11,639
Speaker 1: in his hand? Okay, I go to court. Well, look,

844
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 1: I'm afraid these white people have been killing us ever

845
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 1: since we've been in America. So I had my pistol

846
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 1: and I was just afraid from my life. Try it on.

847
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 1: I bet you you wouldn't get the first base saying that, Well,

848
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 1: why would we let them get home? With that man?

849
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 1: We got to wake up as a people. Thank you

850
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:42,760
Speaker 1: for allowing me on your shoe. Brother, Now we appreciate you.

851
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 1: I do I want more? I got like two more questions. Okay,

852
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 1: but I mean I've never spoken so serious. No, no,

853
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:51,560
Speaker 1: this is good. Yeah. When when Kanye was on the

854
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 1: Brethas Club, he said he's doing a documentary about you

855
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 1: because he wants to help change some of the misconceptions

856
01:10:55,680 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 1: about you. Oh tonight may have really misconception back. But

857
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you. I don't hate Jews, nor do

858
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:10,840
Speaker 1: I hate white people. I hate what they do when

859
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 1: they don't treat us right. And that person is the

860
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:23,920
Speaker 1: person we deal with. That's not bad. All white people

861
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 1: haven't done that. But I say to white people, look,

862
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 1: you didn't do it. They said, yeah, that's right. We

863
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 1: didn't have nothing to do with slavery. Yeah, but because

864
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:43,800
Speaker 1: of slavery, when you immigrants came here, America was already

865
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:50,599
Speaker 1: built with the blood the sweat of my ancestors. So

866
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 1: you got what you got because your fathers gave us

867
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 1: what they gave us. And since you got here, an

868
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:04,679
Speaker 1: America has been the American dream for you, coming out

869
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 1: of Europe, coming out of Italy, Germany, Russia, wherever you

870
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 1: came from. This is your heaven, but it has been

871
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:26,599
Speaker 1: our hell. So when Harry Belafonte was with Doctor King,

872
01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:36,360
Speaker 1: and Doctor King looked very melancholy, and sad Harry Belafanti

873
01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:43,800
Speaker 1: went to him and said, Martin, why are you so melancholy?

874
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 1: Everybody else seems to be in such a good spirit,

875
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 1: you know. And mister Bellafante said that Doctor King said,

876
01:12:54,120 --> 01:13:01,919
Speaker 1: I fear that I am of grading my people into

877
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:09,680
Speaker 1: a burning house. So all those of you who are

878
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:16,200
Speaker 1: thinking about ten ten fifteen, the twentieth anniversary of the

879
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:21,559
Speaker 1: Million Man March, and you would like to coming and

880
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:27,440
Speaker 1: join us. It's not fair Khan alone. It's black pastors.

881
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:30,440
Speaker 1: I may lose them. I don't know what this broadcast.

882
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 1: But if I lost you, I never had you. If

883
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:40,639
Speaker 1: I gained the youth, I got it all. And that's

884
01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:45,839
Speaker 1: what God said. If you remember with those old people

885
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:52,640
Speaker 1: who loved Egypt, and when Joshua was spied out the

886
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 1: new land, the old one said, we're not going in

887
01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,240
Speaker 1: as long as them giants are in there. So you

888
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:03,760
Speaker 1: go and get them giants out of that land and

889
01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:09,800
Speaker 1: we'll go in. That God didn't like that, so he

890
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 1: allowed them to wander in the wilderness for forty years

891
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 1: until the elders died out, and he said, I'll take

892
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:24,680
Speaker 1: your children and they will inhabit the Promised Land and

893
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 1: the last day of doctor King's life. I want you

894
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 1: to remember, brothers and sisters. They didn't kill doctor King

895
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 1: because he had a dream. Excuse me, somebody sending me

896
01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:59,639
Speaker 1: a note. Didn't I say he died peacefully? Oh Dutch

897
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:05,280
Speaker 1: show it was Maya landscape or there's cousins. Thank you

898
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 1: for correcting me. Brother, No Dutch shots was killed, but

899
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:18,680
Speaker 1: Maya Lanski was a heck of a criminal and he

900
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:22,439
Speaker 1: died peacefully. But let me let me get to my

901
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 1: point now. The night that my brother gave his last speech,

902
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 1: this is what they quote tonight. I'm not fearing any

903
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 1: man because I've been to the mountaintop and I've looked

904
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 1: over and I've seen the promised land. I may not

905
01:15:55,400 --> 01:16:00,200
Speaker 1: get there with you, but we as a people will

906
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 1: get to the promised Land. In that year of his life,

907
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 1: he talked against the war in Vietnam. The government was

908
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 1: angry with him. But let's back up. On that same night,

909
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 1: this is what he said to his audience. He said,

910
01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:30,559
Speaker 1: we don't need to talk bad. We don't need to

911
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:37,920
Speaker 1: shoot guns or throw malato cocktails. Elijah Muhammad said the

912
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:42,280
Speaker 1: same thing. All we need to do is come into

913
01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 1: unity and fire the cannon of our unity. Doctor King said,

914
01:16:56,000 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 1: when we are in pain, we have to read distribute

915
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:10,719
Speaker 1: the pain. What do you mean, doctor King, he said,

916
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:19,479
Speaker 1: tonight in Memphis, m M. He said, don't buy Coca

917
01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 1: cola in Memphis. Don't buy sealed tests ice cream in Memphis.

918
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:37,000
Speaker 1: He said, what's the name of that bread, Jesse? Then

919
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 1: he said wonder bread. And the other bread hots bread.

920
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 1: He said, don't buy it. Once we are in pain,

921
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 1: let's redistribute the pain. Not with Molotov cocktails. But we

922
01:17:56,280 --> 01:18:00,559
Speaker 1: have one point three trillion dollars coming in into our

923
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 1: hands that they want in their pockets. If we deny

924
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:08,880
Speaker 1: it to them, we will give them pain. Doctor King

925
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 1: was telling us, take your money out of the white

926
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:17,320
Speaker 1: man's bank and put it in your own bank. We

927
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:23,599
Speaker 1: have insurance companies here in Memphis. Go and take out

928
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:32,200
Speaker 1: insurance with your own. Then he was killed that same night.

929
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 1: They were plotting on his life and they killed him.

930
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:45,400
Speaker 1: And after they assassinated him, they started doctoring his image

931
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:50,599
Speaker 1: because they wanted to leave us with Martin Luther King

932
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:58,240
Speaker 1: as a dreamer. So everything they said about him was

933
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:02,559
Speaker 1: his speech in six to three, but not his speech

934
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 1: in sixty seven in sixty eight. Can I read you

935
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:22,639
Speaker 1: what he said to SCLC in nineteen sixty seven, five

936
01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:27,639
Speaker 1: months before he was assassinated, maybe six or seven months.

937
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:39,960
Speaker 1: Hurry and bring it to me, a brother, ju, I

938
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 1: want to quote something from our brother. And I would

939
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 1: hope that you young brothers who only know doctor King

940
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 1: as a dreamer. I have a dream, but he woke up.

941
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 1: His dream was a nightmare. Listen to what he said.

942
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:09,800
Speaker 1: And I'd like to give you young people an assignment.

943
01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:16,720
Speaker 1: If you're coming to the twentieth anniversary, I want you

944
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:23,160
Speaker 1: to take some time and read the speeches of Martin

945
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 1: Luther King in the last year of his life. And

946
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:37,280
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King will grow you up into a reality.

947
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:42,519
Speaker 1: And then we who are alive today will take you

948
01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 1: where we believe doctor King would have taken you. Remember

949
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:55,720
Speaker 1: I spied the promise, not sky Land. Listen to this.

950
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:06,800
Speaker 1: Doctor King was quoting Hugo Victor Hugo, and Victor Hugo said,

951
01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:13,800
Speaker 1: if the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed.

952
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:19,080
Speaker 1: The guilty one is not he who commits the sin,

953
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:27,960
Speaker 1: but he who causes the darkness. The policy makers of

954
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:33,920
Speaker 1: the white society have caused the darkness. This is doctor King.

955
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 1: They created discrimination, they created slums, They perpetuate unemployment, ignorance,

956
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 1: and poverty. It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have

957
01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 1: committed crimes, but they are derivative crimes. They are born

958
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:04,400
Speaker 1: of the greater crimes of the white society. But there's

959
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:09,320
Speaker 1: another sentence here that should be with this when he

960
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:16,400
Speaker 1: said that the crimes that black people commit in a

961
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:24,560
Speaker 1: few days of rioting sinks into nothingness when you consider

962
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:30,799
Speaker 1: the hardened criminal activity that is used against our people.

963
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:38,760
Speaker 1: So I want to thank you, brother, and thank you

964
01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:45,840
Speaker 1: of the Charlemagne and my sister Angela. I hope that

965
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:57,080
Speaker 1: I didn't, you know, disturb the peace of it's beautiful

966
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:06,040
Speaker 1: breakfast club. I can't apologize for telling the truth, but

967
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:12,719
Speaker 1: I'm filled with passion and hurt because I don't want

968
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 1: us to pass on this condition to another generation that

969
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:22,519
Speaker 1: have to argue and fight with white people for nothing.

970
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:27,400
Speaker 1: If we're going to fight for something, let's get some

971
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:31,440
Speaker 1: of this earth that we can call our own. And remember,

972
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:37,120
Speaker 1: they promised us forty acres and a mule, and it

973
01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 1: was only four to five million of us then Now

974
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:48,840
Speaker 1: I think over forty acres with five million people, that's

975
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 1: two hundred million acres of land. Not with a mule today.

976
01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 1: But ye'll take the land. They can keep the mule. Yeah,

977
01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:04,959
Speaker 1: we take the tractors. But the point is every promise

978
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:10,800
Speaker 1: they made to us, they rent it. So can we

979
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:17,040
Speaker 1: listen to their words and and believe I don't think so.

980
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 1: Whatever we can get through the power of our unity,

981
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:26,599
Speaker 1: that you can believe in because with our unity will

982
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:30,800
Speaker 1: never have to fire a shot. Our unity will be

983
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:35,400
Speaker 1: able to give us the power to exercise that will

984
01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:40,280
Speaker 1: get us the justice that we see. Thank you, Thank you.

985
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:47,559
Speaker 1: There you have it. The Breakfast Club, the Honorable, that's right,
