Sorry, you gotta go, immediately removed. 194 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:18.240 You know, I had to explain to somebody the other day. 195 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:19.639 They were like, so, I mean, but how can you 196 00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:24.440 like boycott a whole country easily? Easily when the entire 197 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.960 country was engineered to be hateful, demonic. 198 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:27.679 People, That's how. 199 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:32.000 And the ones who are not are few and far between. 200 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.399 And I have a whole theory that they're all neurodiversient. 201 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:37.000 But that's another conversation for another time. Let's find out 202 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:38.559 what our word of the day is. 203 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:44.279 Bedlam. 204 00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:53.039 The word of the day is bedlam, bed la, m uproar, confusion. 205 00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:54.759 It is a noun. 206 00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:58.720 Okay, it is a noun, So let's write it in 207 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:02.960 our log book while you all are writing sentences using 208 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:06.639 the word bedlam, b ed l a M. 209 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:10.320 It's a noun that means uproar, confusion. 210 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:14.639 We're gonna be talking about how Minnesota has been stepping 211 00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:18.759 up the bedlam. Okay, Minnesota is stepping up the bedlam, 212 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:20.399 and I'm so proud of them because I don't know 213 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.759 about y'all, but a lot of people did not think 214 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:24.360 that Minnesota had it in them, and I had to 215 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:30.200 remind that Minnesota burned down a precinct. Okay, Minneapolis said, no, 216 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.879 George Floyd was ours. You didn't get to take him 217 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:38.279 like that. So uproar and bedlam. Liz g says, the 218 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:42.360 entirety of you as domestic policy is bedlam. 219 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:46.159 You know what's you know what's actually true? Though? Is 220 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:46.919 that's not true. 221 00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:53.960 Whatever you think looks like chaos is organized confusion. Anytime 222 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.240 you think it's not making sense, it's because they don't 223 00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.759 want you to think it makes sense. Trust me, The 224 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.080 people who are at the hand at the helm, who 225 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.519 are the powers that be, know exactly what the heck 226 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:06.600 they're doing. And I don't know why I somehow know 227 00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:08.960 what they're doing too, because then that scares me because 228 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:10.399 I'm like, oh my god, am I one of them? 229 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:12.320 But I mean, I do have massa in my system. 230 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.480 It's just nothing I can do about it. Okay, there's 231 00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:18.559 nothing I can do about it. All right, let's see 232 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:21.240 and Indigo Hand says it was bedlam in the dining 233 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:21.919 room today with. 234 00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:23.000 Six cats and a ruckus. 235 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:28.480 I understand, and I know about it. 236 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:27.279 Jess says. 237 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:29.879 My ADHD meds have been on back order for a 238 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:34.120 month and my interior state could currently easily be described 239 00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:37.159 as bedlam. I'm so sorry about that, Jess. I hope 240 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:42.000 they can get that together. That is very frustrating. Israel 241 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:44.600 has some nerve running commercials with all the bedlam they 242 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:45.720 calls around the world. 243 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:48.600 Listen again, it's not Israel. 244 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.279 It is a higher force at work that just uses 245 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:58.039 Israel and the United States. The data courier says, etymologically, 246 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.559 it is derived from the word Bethlehem. 247 00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:10.879 Really, but there was no room for a bed You 248 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:11.759 get it, bedlam? 249 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:15.440 No, okay, I tried, all right, last one, last one. 250 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.360 Come on, y'all, give me one most sentence, Give me 251 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:22.879 one most sentence. 252 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:26.080 Give me one more, Give me one. 253 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:30.399 Ma DJ blessed out in the d said, there is 254 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:31.919 so much bedlam around the world. 255 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:34.120 The small amounts of peace are appreciated. 256 00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:36.840 Well, since you asked for a small amount of piece 257 00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:39.399 before we bring our guests up, I'm gonna give all 258 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:42.360 of us, including our guests, a small amount of joy 259 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:45.840 because I just think this is this is the cutest 260 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:47.159 thing I've seen in quite some time. 261 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:52.399 Oh gooy, how you do it? 262 00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:57.559 All right? 263 00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:04.440 One more time?

Keith Porter Junior is a 285 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:26.640 because the memory is still with us and his journey 286 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.200 is not complete, is a hold on. 287 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:31.240 I want a different picture. 288 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:35.960 Father, a forty three year old father of two fatally 289 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:40.079 shot by an ICE officer on New Year's Eve outside 290 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:43.119 of his apartment complex. And this is according to LA 291 00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:49.720 federal officials, which means a cab and apparently what took place, 292 00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:51.880 according to them, is that gunshots are fired into the 293 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:57.079 air and an ICE official came through. And there's no 294 00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:59.200 reason why any of this should have happened. So I 295 00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:02.880 don't really care to voice whatever they said, because whatever 296 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.440 they said is a lie. So I would be more 297 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:10.759 interested in hearing what has to be really amplified, which 298 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:14.839 is coming from Jane and doctor Malina, who are working 299 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:20.519 to bring the ICE agent to justice who committed this 300 00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:26.079 act of aggression and killing, and their entire existence is 301 00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:31.640 in unjust, so to see it go to this length 302 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:35.599 is of course expected. And I don't think a lot 303 00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:38.400 of people knew about Keith Porter's killing because there was 304 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:42.000 no video attached to it. And when they're in a 305 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:47.400 good killing happened, you all really worked to bring Keith 306 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:52.799 Porter's name and this story to the to oppression level 307 00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:55.519 in the media, because I know a lot of people 308 00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:58.319 really did not know. So let's continue that work. And 309 00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:01.039 Jane and doctor Malina, you have the floor. 310 00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:05.079 Sure, So miss Tyler, why don't you I call her 311 00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:08.240 Miss Tyler because she works at my kids school. She's 312 00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:18.519 my children's teacher counselor. And right now, okay, yet, but. 313 00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:23.599 Look at that window. That's a school windows, the gate 314 00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:24.200 on the back. 315 00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:27.839 Missus Tyler. One of the beautiful things is we were 316 00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:31.359 already in beloved community. Since she's talking about doctor King, 317 00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:34.440 we were already in beloved community. She's a part of 318 00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:37.039 the movement, a part of Black Lives Matter Los Angeles, 319 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:39.559 a part of the Black Student Achievement Plan. And this 320 00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:42.720 was her cousin who was killed by this off duty 321 00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:47.200 ice agent whose name now know to be Brian Palacios. 322 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:50.640 And so, Mss Tyler, why don't you start by telling 323 00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:53.119 your cousin's story. 324 00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:58.400 Yeah, who, I'm already heavy this morning. 325 00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:02.920 I apologize, ever apologize for that. So we'll help you, 326 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:05.079 We'll carry you. Okay, thank you. 327 00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:09.759 My cousin was a loving, kind human being. He was 328 00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:13.039 the girl dad, father of two daughters. He was his 329 00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:17.480 mother's only son. And I know people are probably tired 330 00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:20.599 of hearing me use the word amazing, but that word 331 00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:26.519 actually applies to some people, and Keith was absolutely amazing. 332 00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:31.759 He brought joy wherever he went. He was always the 333 00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:35.279 one to uplift his people around him, even if you 334 00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:40.240 were a stranger, and telling of who he was, even 335 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:42.400 the fact that he had only been in his apartment 336 00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:46.440 complex for eleven months and all of those people knew him, 337 00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:49.480 and it was a large complex. It's a large complex, 338 00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:52.839 and they all knew exactly who he was and all 339 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:55.920 had good things to say about him, and that's who 340 00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:58.319 he's been since he was a little boy. You know. 341 00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:03.279 They really stole a black man off of this planet 342 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:06.759 that had so much more to give, and he had 343 00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:09.440 so much more to give to his daughters and to 344 00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:12.799 his mother and to us as his family. And so 345 00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:18.640 on New Year's Eve, Keith was expecting some company and 346 00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:22.000 had sent his girlfriend out to get some food for 347 00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:26.920 the evening, and in the interim, you know, he heard 348 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.519 people outside celebrating already, and he had just got licensed 349 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:34.559 for a new rifle. And you know, I know people 350 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:38.400 have varying opinions on shooting firearms in the air in 351 00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:42.240 a celebratory manner, but as it stands, that's what my 352 00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:46.119 cousin went outside to do he let off a few 353 00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:50.680 shots and one of his neighbors that happened to be 354 00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:54.319 an off duty Ice agent who was in his apartment 355 00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:55.440 doing who knows what. 356 00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:58.920 Brian Pelasios, who. 357 00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:01.279 We do now know for a fact, is a racist, 358 00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:05.960 is a child abuser, is homophobic, and so many other 359 00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:09.880 nasty things about himself, is the person that took it 360 00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:14.920 upon himself to leave his apartment, hunt through the apartment 361 00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:18.079 complex to find where he had heard the shots. Saw 362 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:22.759 my cousin with his rifle, engaged him, and I know 363 00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:25.920 Keith disliked me. Probably you're you know, you're a stranger. 364 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.160 Mind your own business. You know, he was no imminent 365 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:32.920 threat to anyone else. He was actually in the process 366 00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:36.759 of returning to his home. And this officer went back inside, 367 00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.079 got his tactical gear, got fully dressed in his tactical gear, 368 00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:46.559 got his service pistol, ran back through the apartment complex, 369 00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:51.559 found my cousin and shot him dead. After he killed 370 00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:57.920 my cousin, the police response was horrendous. They came out 371 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:02.160 at least about nine cars deep, is what the apartment 372 00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:05.359 complex tenants have said. And I was privileged to receive 373 00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:10.039 videos as well, they're out there in their tactical gear 374 00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:13.400 while my cousin's body is laying down there in the brain, 375 00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:17.799 and they're calling for Keith Porter to surrender or shelter 376 00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:22.039 in place. You cannot do both. First of all, that's oxymoronic. 377 00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:26.759 There was no medical aid rendered. We don't even know 378 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:29.880 if he was already dead or on his last breath, 379 00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:34.599 and could have at least been saved charging for the 380 00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:38.680 unlawful firing in the air of a firearm. We would 381 00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:41.640 have much rather seen him catch a charge than to 382 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:46.359 have left this earth after the fact. They never had 383 00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:49.880 this officer surrender his service pistol, They never did a 384 00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:53.759 sobriety check, they never took him in for proper interrogation. 385 00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:56.559 He went back into his home and went to sleep 386 00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.240 that night. And so from the beginning to the in 387 00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:04.240 there was no value placed on my cousin by this maniac, 388 00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:08.200 and there's been no value placed on his life by 389 00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:11.759 the police department, by d. A. Hopman, and by the 390 00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:15.759 people who are in position to actually arrest and convict 391 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.599 this murderer. The only reason we know who he is 392 00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:25.680 now is because of current court filings and litigation naming 393 00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:29.599 him as an abuser, as a racist, and as the 394 00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:32.880 man that killed my cousin that night. The people who 395 00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:36.920 have witnessed what happened are scared for themselves and scared 396 00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:42.480 for their family because we're dealing with a fascist Trump regime, and. 397 00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:44.319 So here we are. 398 00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:49.039 We are doing our best to bring light to what 399 00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:52.960 has happened and to get our community and our elected 400 00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:59.240 officials to pressure Da Hakman to arrest this man, to 401 00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:03.119 press charge to prosecute him because he is nothing less 402 00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:04.039 than a murderer. 403 00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:09.920 Thank you so much for sharing, and thank you all 404 00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:12.759 in the comments for being respectful. I removed the person 405 00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:17.359 who wasn't because they are a waste of space. I 406 00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:21.000 know that, doctor Malina, you sent me an image. 407 00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:22.279 Wait, I have it right here. 408 00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:27.839 Can you talk about the work that Black Lives Matter 409 00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:32.519 Grassroots is doing to rally around Keith Porter his family 410 00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:35.039 and bring justice. 411 00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:39.440 Sure, so I'll just uplift again that you know, Miss 412 00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:42.279 Tyler is a beloved member of our community. 413 00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:42.799 She is. 414 00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:47.319 You can hear it from her. She's just a treasure 415 00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:51.319 in this world. She every time I talk about her, 416 00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:54.599 I cry because she personally saved my middle daughter's life. 417 00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:59.240 That she my daughter was on track too. They had 418 00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:02.880 called police on her in school over and over and 419 00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:06.319 over again. And it's Miss Tyler who pulled themar into 420 00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:09.599 her fullest self. And it's Miss Tyler is the reason 421 00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:13.160 that Amara is now a standout college sophomore at Clark 422 00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:18.440 Atlanta University. So okay, So you know, building beloved community 423 00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:22.079 is so important, and so my heart breaks for Miss 424 00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:26.960 Tyler and also the entire Keith Porter family. You know, 425 00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:30.079 so many of us have children that didn't grow up 426 00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:33.759 with dads like Keith Porter. Keith Porter was a girl dad. 427 00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:39.039 Like when you hear his daughter, there's some really painful 428 00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:44.160 video that's baman, really painful video that's online of his 429 00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:51.400 older daughter. What we see happening, and Miss Tyler articulated 430 00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:55.599 it so well is a double murder of Keith Porter. 431 00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:01.039 So you know, we have demands that we want Brian 432 00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:05.640 Pelasio's named. He was named by community, not named by LAPD, 433 00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:09.079 not named by the DA, not named by any elected 434 00:27:09.119 --> 00:27:11.960 official who knew who he was because he gave a 435 00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:15.640 statement on that night, right so they could have named him. 436 00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:18.839 Then he wasn't arrested. That's our second demand that he'd 437 00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:23.000 be arrested. Third demand is that he'd be prosecuted. Fourth 438 00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:28.160 is that they quit with the character assassination. So instead 439 00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:33.039 of uplifting Keith, is this amazing human being that Miss 440 00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:36.759 Tyler laid him out to be. They called him an 441 00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:41.200 active shooter, they called him a suspect, and they touted 442 00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:46.359 the killer as a hero. So we got to be 443 00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:49.200 very clear that they have to quit with this process 444 00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:52.519 of double murder where they steal someone's life and then 445 00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:57.279 they assassinate their character, and then the last demand is 446 00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:01.640 abolish ice. This is a danger, not just to the 447 00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:04.759 people that they're snatching up in the streets. Ice is 448 00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:08.400 a clear and present danger. Even when they go home 449 00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:11.839 and are supposed to have their tactical gear off and 450 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:16.000 their weapons down, they're still stealing the lives of black people. 451 00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:20.680 And so we've been in the streets doing memorials. We've 452 00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:22.920 had two in Los Angeles and I saw in the 453 00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:25.839 comments thank you for doing the memorial in Baltimore. 454 00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:28.200 I saw and all around the country. 455 00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:30.759 As they get Keith Porter's name, they're lifting him up. 456 00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:34.000 We need that spirit work. Please continue to do that. 457 00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:41.559 We're also though, demanding that LAPD arrest Brian Palasios, and 458 00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:46.640 so we have a petition TinyURL dot com slash sign 459 00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:50.640 for Keith. We're asking people to sign that petition and 460 00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:54.200 we intend to deliver it to the Chief of Police 461 00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:57.759 and the Police Commission next Tuesday. We're already at over 462 00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:01.680 twelve thousand signatures. Want that number to continue to go 463 00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:05.279 up so they can't act like nobody cares, and then 464 00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:10.440 we're protesting on Wednesdays. Today, we'll be protesting outside the 465 00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:14.799 District Attorney's office. Just days after Keith was killed, we 466 00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:18.039 were able to call the district Attorney, Nathan Hockman, who 467 00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:22.079 is an absolute fascist, call him into a community meeting 468 00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:25.480 and say we demand that Keith Porter be charged. He 469 00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:26.680 tried to act. 470 00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:29.680 Like one no, Brian Palasio. 471 00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:33.079 Yeah, I'm sorry, Brian Pelasio's be charged. We didn't know 472 00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:35.960 his name Keith Porter's killer, so then we didn't know 473 00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:38.519 his name. We asked that he'd be charged, and Nathan 474 00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:43.559 Hockman essentially said no, And so we're gonna make sure 475 00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:49.400 we're on his head until Brian Palasios is prosecuted, is charged. 476 00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:53.240 The DA in this county has been bought and paid 477 00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:58.240 for by police associations and by police special interests, and 478 00:29:58.319 --> 00:30:02.759 we're here to say that the peaceeople will demand justice, 479 00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:05.880 and we demand justice lastly, and then I'll be quiet. 480 00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:14.839 We also, okay, I want to be clear that it's 481 00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:20.079 we we mourn and rage for the murder of Renee 482 00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:25.480 good right, We more like it's terrible. It's terrible. I've 483 00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:28.680 shed real tears for her. She is who we need 484 00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:33.880 when we talk about accomplices for black freedom. Right, And 485 00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:39.880 nobody has said Keith Porter. Even here in Los Angeles, 486 00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:44.640 we have a so called black mayor who just finally 487 00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:48.160 uttered Keith Porter's name and said nothing. 488 00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:53.000 She appointed me, finally said his name and relegated him 489 00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:55.000 to one sentence, and then moved on. 490 00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:01.519 Thirty nineteen days after his killing. She said his name nineteen. 491 00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:04.359 There is a lady who there was fires and she 492 00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:06.200 was getting off the plane and they got none to say. 493 00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:08.359 She know not, got none to say about nothing unless 494 00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:09.799 it's gonna put something in her pockets. 495 00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:16.799 So she's running for reelection. No, yes, all, yes, So 496 00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:20.359 we should all remember that she's running for reelection. How 497 00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:24.920 dare any of these elected officials call themselves leaders. The 498 00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:29.079 only person who substantively has lifted up Keith Porter that 499 00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:34.240 I've seen is Ayana Presley all the way over in Boston. Yeah, 500 00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:39.359 she's the only elected who substantively lifted up Keith Porter's name. 501 00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:43.119 And so we need to make sure that these are 502 00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:46.079 not our leaders. If you can't fight for justice in 503 00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:49.200 your own city, I'm thinking about in la in your 504 00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:52.319 own city, if you can't fight for justice. Oh and 505 00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:56.119 we've had some non black elected officials. What's interesting is 506 00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:59.519 we have three black members of city Council. But it 507 00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:03.640 was our were brown comrade e Ony sis Hernandez that 508 00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:07.720 invited Keith Porters in Keith Porter's family and to open 509 00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:12.319 the session in his name. And so we're demanding that 510 00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:15.599 they make demands and say that we want justice in 511 00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:16.720 the name of Keith Porter. 512 00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:18.400 And so that's what's moving. 513 00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:21.920 For King Day, we got a spot in the parade 514 00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:28.240 and we turned the parade into a march and order 515 00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:32.079 and Ms. Tyler was on the mic half the day 516 00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:36.160 lifting up Keith Porter's name, and we said there will 517 00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:40.240 be no parades in King's name with a terrible DA 518 00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:44.079 and l a p D marching in a parade and 519 00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:48.720 Keith Porter relegated to quiet. So we made sure we 520 00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:53.279 weren't quiet. And we're grateful for the people the people 521 00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:55.799 of la and the people around the world world are 522 00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:57.119 starting to lift Keith Port. 523 00:32:57.640 --> 00:32:58.839 That's what I wanted to add. 524 00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:04.519 I mean, the idea of political people being politicians being 525 00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:08.240 considered leaders was given to us, but not experienced by us. 526 00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:09.400 They've never been leaders. 527 00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:15.759 They are mouthpieces for the establishment and for a greater 528 00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:20.279 effort at suppression and repression. The leaders are folks like yourself, 529 00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:27.720 Doctor Malina, myself and Mssus Tyler, because ultimately we're talking 530 00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:31.160 and touching the people, and the people have more power 531 00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:35.119 and reality than anyone, which is why they are repressed 532 00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:39.920 so consistently. And I just want to commend you all 533 00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:42.880 and thank you all for, even in the throes of 534 00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:48.279 your grief, you know, really focusing that anger and that 535 00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:53.079 grief in the direction of upliftment. And it's it's such 536 00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:56.279 a difficult thing to do because it's so much easier 537 00:33:56.279 --> 00:33:58.920 to just you know, go inside. But we are in 538 00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:05.119 a time where someone like Keith Porter's murder is not 539 00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:10.719 simply just it's not it's not simply just an injustice 540 00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:13.159 for your family that is felt by your family. 541 00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:15.840 This is it should It's global. 542 00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:20.480 This, this tyranny that we're experiencing is not the first 543 00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:22.920 of its kind. It's a continuance. We've been seeing it, 544 00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:25.440 uh for the past two and a half years in 545 00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:29.960 Palestine on a high level, on a completely uncontested level 546 00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:32.320 in terms of justice. And you know, I keep trying 547 00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:37.719 to tell people we are already living in apartheid because 548 00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:43.280 this man was able to fatally take the life of 549 00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:47.760 your cousin and suffer no consequences. He hasn't even suffered 550 00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:52.760 any It sounds like he hasn't even suffered any inconvenience, right, 551 00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:56.719 you know, just the inconvenience of being detained. 552 00:34:57.599 --> 00:34:58.320 Not at all. 553 00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:02.679 And and that's the biggest travesty right there.

I 561 00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:30.800 don't know how to fight, and I have to do 562 00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:32.599 my foot on the gas. 563 00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:34.880 We don't. 564 00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:40.639 Like fire, like, those are not tears. Of weakness. Those 565 00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:44.360 are like I'm trying because I'm curious. It's rage. 566 00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:49.079 It's rage, Make no mistake about anything else. What I 567 00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:52.599 feel is rage. And it has taken all of my 568 00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:56.280 composure to make sure that I show up in the 569 00:35:56.320 --> 00:36:00.760 ways that I do, because how, you know, how dare 570 00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:05.480 them position that man right behind us? You know, like 571 00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:08.880 even with that the disrespect, and even thinking that that 572 00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:12.599 man would be lined up in a parade and doctor 573 00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:19.679 King's honor behind us with posters d a hawkman with 574 00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:23.519 my cousin's pictures plastered all over everything and all of 575 00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:28.079 the other victims to state sanctioned violence, and they have 576 00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:32.119 the gall to put him right behind us, right behind me, 577 00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:35.599 you know, And so we let him have it. 578 00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:37.920 And unfortunately. 579 00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:42.480 I watched and he started recording us back and was 580 00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:45.559 laughing like this is a joke to him, and this 581 00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:49.039 is this is not who we need in LA. Just 582 00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:52.320 like we got rid of Jackie Lacy, We're gonna get 583 00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:53.079 rid of him too. 584 00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:59.800 That's right, that's right. And I just say too that 585 00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:05.599 we're hearing a lot of people finally say abolish ice, 586 00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:10.239 and we say abolish ice. We lift that up, and 587 00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:13.840 I'm gonna say this and miss Tyler, Uh, rescue me 588 00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:19.039 if you need to. But it's important that we remember 589 00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:23.320 these elected officials, these local elected officials try to act 590 00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:26.039 like it's only ice. What we've seen with. 591 00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:30.039 Keith, it's important to remember they have addresses. But keep going, 592 00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:30.840 keep going, keep going. 593 00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:36.960 Yeah, no, that too, But they act like l A 594 00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:41.199 PD is an answer to ice. That Oh, let let's 595 00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:45.639 have local law enforcement. No, local law enforcement are the 596 00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:49.559 protectors of ice. Yes, they are protectors of the murderers 597 00:37:49.559 --> 00:37:53.800 of our people. Local law enforcement are the primary ones there. 598 00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:59.360 We all so it's not uh huh may even here. 599 00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:02.800 You know, we worked hard to remove school police from 600 00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:08.079 our campuses, and now our superintendent has allowed administrators to 601 00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:12.400 bring them back on our campuses as the first line 602 00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:17.159 against ice, even though we've established sanctuary teams built into 603 00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:24.039 our community that are assigned spots to then come and 604 00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:27.760 no tofy the school of ice activity. Even the school 605 00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:31.880 district has used this as an opportunity to ignore the 606 00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:34.559 trauma of our black and brown students and bring school 607 00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:37.840 police back on our campuses. So everybody is complicit. 608 00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:41.039 I mean, you have Gavin heard some saying that there's 609 00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:43.840 no such saying that there isn't a genocide in Palestine. 610 00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:48.039 So even the folks who folks have I mean, I'm 611 00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:50.440 on a tear today about democrats because I'm so tired 612 00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:52.280 of talking about democrats and I'm just like, we have 613 00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:54.000 to stop acting like they're different. 614 00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:57.360 But the truth is all of these folks. 615 00:38:57.000 --> 00:39:01.840 Are sharing one main goal, which is how to repress 616 00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:08.079 and suppress any level of individual thought or individual freedom. 617 00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:11.360 And they have to start with the kids. So that's 618 00:39:11.480 --> 00:39:12.440 how that begins. 619 00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:16.280 So I'm sorry, Doc, I didn't mean to cut you. No, No, 620 00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:19.039 that's right. You did it better than me. I mean, 621 00:39:19.079 --> 00:39:22.639 that's the point. All the all the policing agents are 622 00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:25.480 the same, right, That's one of the chants in the streets, 623 00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:30.960 right that lapd kkk IOF. They're all the same. They're 624 00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:36.960 all the same. And so the answer to ice is 625 00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:42.360 not LAPD. The answer to abolishing ice also needs to 626 00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:45.920 lead us to say, well, what actually keeps communities safe? 627 00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:49.800 And for black folks, it's never been police, it's been 628 00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:54.519 more community resources. It's been making sure we have I said, 629 00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:58.760 you saved Damara's life, right, what if every pool had 630 00:39:58.800 --> 00:39:59.599 a miss Tyler? 631 00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:00.280 Right? 632 00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:04.119 And so we need to be very very clear about 633 00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:07.280 that that when we say abolish ice, that needs to 634 00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:12.760 also be tied to an overall call to abolish all 635 00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:13.559 of the bs. 636 00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:21.920 Yeah, I will put this forth and you already said it. 637 00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:26.639 But the work you all are doing is how ice 638 00:40:26.679 --> 00:40:32.239 gets abolished, Because in my from what I have deduced, 639 00:40:33.119 --> 00:40:38.000 the abolishing of these systems, these organized movements against the people, 640 00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:40.519 is not going to come from the people who are 641 00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:44.079 benefiting from it. It's going to come from making it 642 00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:47.519 impossible for those for those to thrive. It's going to 643 00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:52.159 come from making it impossible for them to exist, right, 644 00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:57.000 and for just rendering it irrelevant. And it takes real 645 00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:01.920 imaginative work at the point in order to figure that out, 646 00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:04.960 because we've been so trained to just think that the 647 00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:07.519 system is here to be used in some type of way. 648 00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:11.440 But the system itself is so completely effective at being 649 00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:17.559 defective that we find ourselves when we use it, we 650 00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:22.239 almost entangle ourselves into its perfunctoriness. 651 00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:31.400 I got words today, and that's from educator. Yeah, and 652 00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:33.360 so I am. 653 00:41:33.119 --> 00:41:39.119 I really find myself every day working within the mindset 654 00:41:39.239 --> 00:41:45.400 of imagination on how we as communities step up even 655 00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:50.840 more than just preserving each other, you know, in terms 656 00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:54.280 of food in terms of education, et cetera. But and 657 00:41:54.400 --> 00:42:00.039 also like really thinking strategically about how we undermine the 658 00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:04.440 these organizations. We're smart, We really are smarter than them. 659 00:42:04.440 --> 00:42:07.280 These are not smart people. We got to get in 660 00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:09.480 our Kevin McAllister, Okay, we got to get in. 661 00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:10.159 Our home alone. 662 00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:19.440 Like we should really all be traveling with marbles. Everyone 663 00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:21.679 should just have a pocket of marbles. 664 00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:26.679 I always thought, you know, crazy glue is a really 665 00:42:26.800 --> 00:42:32.800 unutilized web with the whole If everybody had crazy. 666 00:42:33.800 --> 00:42:36.079 Like gorilla glue, girls should have really took us to 667 00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:40.519 a whole other level knowledge. And I say that, like, 668 00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:46.679 you know, jokingly literally alsois also seriously and also figuratively 669 00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:51.480 in the sense that the methodologies that we consider have 670 00:42:51.559 --> 00:42:56.320 to expand in terms of how we defunct, how we 671 00:42:56.880 --> 00:43:01.719 get these folks defunct, how we render them, and how 672 00:43:01.719 --> 00:43:04.880 we render them really impervious to our harms. And it's 673 00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:08.480 gonna take us really figuring out ways to fortify ourselves 674 00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:10.320 that we haven't considered before. 675 00:43:10.880 --> 00:43:15.119 And I think that for people watching that feels big sometimes, 676 00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:20.559 but it's not. It's just saying no, like like Nancy Reagan, 677 00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:21.880 but just say no. 678 00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:24.199 They're actually worked for me, I ain't gonna lie. I 679 00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:26.239 literally was like, I'm afraid of drugs forever. 680 00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:31.639 We were at Police Commission last Tuesday and they decided 681 00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:34.960 to shut it down and not allow public comment and 682 00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:39.400 we just said no, no, we're not we're not leaving. 683 00:43:39.679 --> 00:43:42.840 They were like, get out, it's over, and we said. 684 00:43:42.599 --> 00:43:45.519 No, and soot over and we announced it. 685 00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:48.599 Now it's a people's public comment. You get out and 686 00:43:48.679 --> 00:43:50.039 guess what they did. 687 00:43:50.199 --> 00:43:50.719 They left? 688 00:43:51.639 --> 00:43:56.280 They did you know, we did poetry and we had 689 00:43:56.400 --> 00:43:59.599 people talking and we talked about you took up space. 690 00:43:59.800 --> 00:44:01.199 And that's all. 691 00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:05.880 If everybody does that, and I'll actually lift up. There's 692 00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:09.480 one more person who's in elected office who doesn't like 693 00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:11.800 to be called a politician, who was a member of 694 00:44:11.800 --> 00:44:17.840 the LMLA, also Isaac Bryan, who also has been regularly 695 00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:20.679 using his platform and being in the streets for Keith 696 00:44:20.719 --> 00:44:24.639 Porter wherever you are. In My point in raising him 697 00:44:24.760 --> 00:44:27.159 is just to say, wherever you are, you can be 698 00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:31.119 more beholden to that whack ass seat that you hold 699 00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:35.360 than you are to the people. You're only there because 700 00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:38.880 the people thought you could do something for us. Wherever 701 00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:41.360 you are. If you're a teacher, if you are a 702 00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:45.440 male carrier. If you work it, I mean, I love hearing. 703 00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:47.679 A big controversy, Amanda, I don't know if you heard 704 00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:52.840 about it was sheriff walked into Starbucks. Nobody should go 705 00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:56.239 to Starbucks, but they do. Went into Starbucks and ordered 706 00:44:56.239 --> 00:44:59.719 a cup of coffee, and then Barista drew a picture of. 707 00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:08.079 A p Yes. Yes, I was like, yeah, that's what 708 00:45:08.280 --> 00:45:15.840 you can do. Do that, rowing their day, rowing on. 709 00:45:16.599 --> 00:45:21.679 They put out a whole statement about how that hurt 710 00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:25.800 the deputy's feelings. Yeah, good, hurt. 711 00:45:26.039 --> 00:45:28.840 Yeah, but that's honestly, folks. Really So. 712 00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:33.079 I had an exchange with somebody because they were like, 713 00:45:33.119 --> 00:45:34.960 stop thinking that you're hurting these folks feelings. 714 00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:37.159 It's not going to do anything. And I'm like, yes 715 00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:38.280 it does. 716 00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:40.800 These people are fragile af that's why they go and 717 00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:43.519 get these jobs that they can feel like they are strong. 718 00:45:43.800 --> 00:45:48.800 These are mentally flimsy people, like I said, they're they're nucleus. 719 00:45:48.840 --> 00:45:51.280 The walls of their nuclei are made of filo paper. 720 00:45:51.679 --> 00:45:53.480 This is the type of things I'm talking about, Like, 721 00:45:53.519 --> 00:45:57.000 that's figurative marbles to throw off somebody. He was messed 722 00:45:57.079 --> 00:46:00.320 up all day. He himself in the foot at some 723 00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:02.320 point in that day, he was messed up all day. 724 00:46:02.519 --> 00:46:03.320 He couldn't get it. 725 00:46:03.320 --> 00:46:04.960 Up that night when he went to go with his 726 00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:09.119 wife like he was probably in ambles. And you know what, 727 00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:11.159 he also can't go back to that Starbucks now because 728 00:46:11.159 --> 00:46:12.480 he feels some type of way so. 729 00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:14.239 Affected that person. 730 00:46:14.360 --> 00:46:17.400 Good, Make them most comfortable wherever they are, make them 731 00:46:17.440 --> 00:46:21.679 uncomfortable in their own skin. Anything that you think is 732 00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:23.079 too small, it's not. 733 00:46:24.039 --> 00:46:27.519 Listen, the mental violence that has been put on us 734 00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:32.159 forever is not impossible for us to reflect back to 735 00:46:32.199 --> 00:46:36.119 these folks. Don't get it twisted. Their physical strength. First 736 00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:39.199 of all, this man is not strong. This is not 737 00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:43.760 a strong person.

And I promise you that's the 743 00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:04.000 part that he's most in secure part. So that's the 744 00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:04.719 part that you got to hee. 745 00:47:04.840 --> 00:47:07.639 And the reason we wanted the photo and the name 746 00:47:07.880 --> 00:47:11.159 is there is nowhere in this world that he should 747 00:47:11.159 --> 00:47:14.719 be able to go and feel comfortable. Correct, he should 748 00:47:14.760 --> 00:47:18.199 not be able to feel comfortable. His name is Brian Plazio's. 749 00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:22.480 He shouldn't be able to walk into his favorite food shop. 750 00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:25.920 He shouldn't be able to ride the bus or what. 751 00:47:26.079 --> 00:47:29.280 He shouldn't be able to walk the streets and feel comfortable. 752 00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:32.239 He is a murderer and he should be called the 753 00:47:32.360 --> 00:47:33.800 murderer wherever he goes. 754 00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:34.960 Yep. 755 00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:40.159 So if you happen to be where around Northridge, Sherwood, 756 00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:44.519 Sherwood Forest in the valley and you see that man, 757 00:47:45.760 --> 00:47:50.760 shame him, shame him. They've, like I said, we don't 758 00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:54.400 know if they've pceed him up now, you know, or 759 00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:57.480 if he's still in that complex where the elders say 760 00:47:57.559 --> 00:48:00.559 they no longer feel safe with him there. If you 761 00:48:00.719 --> 00:48:04.880 see that man, shame him, tell him to turn himself in. 762 00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:10.719 You know, there's a saying that goes there's some hoes 763 00:48:10.840 --> 00:48:11.559 in this house. 764 00:48:12.280 --> 00:48:14.840 If you see them, point them out. 765 00:48:16.039 --> 00:48:19.199 M m m.

When people say it's not that deep, it's 813 00:51:35.840 --> 00:51:42.960 always deeper. And one of the things that the video 814 00:51:43.159 --> 00:51:45.360 of Keith really speaks to is. 815 00:51:47.960 --> 00:51:52.320 The taking of light from this space. 816 00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:58.199 And every time that we are seeing that done, it 817 00:51:58.280 --> 00:52:07.360 is furthering that efforts of the powers that be to 818 00:52:07.519 --> 00:52:14.440 convince us that we are not deserving of being here, of. 819 00:52:14.280 --> 00:52:21.840 Being in love, being in peace, of being. 820 00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:33.840 In charge of our own existence and destiny. And I 821 00:52:33.840 --> 00:52:36.400 saw a white lady on my comments today say that 822 00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:38.639 the Earth will be better without us, and I said, 823 00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:46.280 keep that white bullshit out of my face, because humans 824 00:52:46.360 --> 00:52:51.880 was living with the earth in harmony for quite some 825 00:52:52.039 --> 00:53:03.599 time when we were preserving life, when we where upholding 826 00:53:06.719 --> 00:53:23.599 the preservation of connection. And what this earth is suffering 827 00:53:23.679 --> 00:53:29.760 from is a cancer of colonizers. That's what this earth 828 00:53:29.800 --> 00:53:36.239 is suffering from. Colonizers were born from someplace up there 829 00:53:36.239 --> 00:53:40.559 in Europe, and that cancer continued to grow. And that's 830 00:53:40.599 --> 00:53:43.800 the definition of cancer. It's a cell that continues to 831 00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:53.639 multiply without limitation. And I am trying to really get 832 00:53:53.679 --> 00:53:59.960 you all to see beyond your own limitations. The the 833 00:54:00.199 --> 00:54:02.599 taking of Keith Porter's life is not simply just the 834 00:54:03.480 --> 00:54:05.280 taking of a brother's life in. 835 00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:07.559 Los Angeles by an ice agent. 836 00:54:09.880 --> 00:54:13.239 That may be the end of the thread, but it 837 00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:23.320 connects to a much bigger nexus of hatred and that 838 00:54:23.400 --> 00:54:26.519 network and nexus of nature that comes down the line 839 00:54:26.519 --> 00:54:28.800 and it ends at Keith Porter, but it ends at 840 00:54:28.840 --> 00:54:31.840 so many of us, on so many regular bases. And 841 00:54:31.880 --> 00:54:35.239 so when we do our analysis and we only come 842 00:54:35.320 --> 00:54:38.920 up to, well, that's Trump's America. When we do our 843 00:54:38.920 --> 00:54:41.719 analysis and we only come up to, oh, well, you 844 00:54:41.760 --> 00:54:50.599 know that's racism. We're not digging deep enough, so we 845 00:54:50.679 --> 00:54:52.000 will not be effective. 846 00:54:57.159 --> 00:54:57.800 At the root. 847 00:54:59.039 --> 00:55:03.800 There is a spin mairitual force at work to eradicate 848 00:55:03.960 --> 00:55:08.880 life and light. So when people ask me what do 849 00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:12.119 we do, you have to first be able to wrap 850 00:55:12.199 --> 00:55:20.079 your head around the grandeur of that and your role 851 00:55:21.280 --> 00:55:27.880 in beating it, and that you have a role. Yes, 852 00:55:31.039 --> 00:55:31.679 you have a role. 853 00:55:31.719 --> 00:55:36.360 You're like a nerve ending of the earth. 854 00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:46.079 You're feeling it, fight it. We have to expand immediately. 855 00:55:48.159 --> 00:55:52.960 We have to see Keith Porter and his murder as 856 00:55:53.000 --> 00:55:55.599 not just an offense to a black man in America. 857 00:55:55.719 --> 00:55:58.800 That is an offense to humanity. That's how you have 858 00:55:58.880 --> 00:56:01.320 to see it. That's an a defense to the earth 859 00:56:01.719 --> 00:56:09.239 that you live on. It's an offense to existence. And 860 00:56:09.400 --> 00:56:14.360 until you allow yourself to break out of the limitations 861 00:56:15.679 --> 00:56:20.960 of only your individual journey, you will not be effective 862 00:56:21.079 --> 00:56:24.360 in finding safety for yourself. I promise you you won't. 863 00:56:26.519 --> 00:56:31.239 You have to be fearless in the intake of your understanding. 864 00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:52.519 Like Miss Debbie said, you have to wake up your spirit. 865 00:56:57.519 --> 00:57:03.840 We have to wake up our spirit. It's bigger. It's 866 00:57:03.880 --> 00:57:08.960 bigger than anything that you have been told. And I 867 00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:11.760 want you to hear what I mean by that, because 868 00:57:11.800 --> 00:57:22.280 you've only been told enough to keep you useful. Everybody 869 00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:23.440 out here thinking. 870 00:57:23.599 --> 00:57:24.800 It matters who you vote for. 871 00:57:41.519 --> 00:57:45.559 There it is Brandon see that he was threatened by 872 00:57:45.679 --> 00:57:51.840 Keith Porter's joy. I want you to understand the real 873 00:57:51.920 --> 00:57:55.039 depth of that, because you'll see a line like that 874 00:57:55.559 --> 00:57:57.320 and you may just be like, oh, yeah, exactly. 875 00:57:57.360 --> 00:58:01.440 Word. No, this is. 876 00:58:05.119 --> 00:58:10.800 This is a very actually, really visceral concept to really 877 00:58:10.920 --> 00:58:21.119 grasp because the families that run the world find joy 878 00:58:21.400 --> 00:58:23.679 in harm. 879 00:58:24.519 --> 00:58:27.000 And they have been effective at. 880 00:58:30.679 --> 00:58:39.920 Exporting that throughout the globe and throughout generations in order 881 00:58:39.960 --> 00:58:45.239 to stay in power. This is very on a basic level. 882 00:58:45.599 --> 00:58:55.400 It is Star Wars, and it is the dark side. 883 00:58:55.639 --> 00:59:04.760 That's you know, the forces. You feel the force because 884 00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:08.159 the force is something we're gonna talk about a little later, 885 00:59:08.440 --> 00:59:13.440 like what actually energy shifting is what smiling does. Like 886 00:59:13.480 --> 00:59:16.400 we're gonna get into that because we need to be 887 00:59:16.599 --> 00:59:23.440 doing actual spirit work with our bodies, because these bodies 888 00:59:23.519 --> 00:59:29.920 right here are really powerful, and it seems like all 889 00:59:29.960 --> 00:59:38.599 the wrong people know that, all the wrong people know that. 890 00:59:52.719 --> 01:00:09.199 Let's see how black I feel today. 891 01:00:09.599 --> 01:00:14.199 You do whatever it's necessary, you know, That's what We've 892 01:00:14.239 --> 01:00:21.480 always done whatever came naturally. If if the situation colls 893 01:00:21.480 --> 01:00:22.480 for this, you do that. 894 01:00:22.840 --> 01:00:23.280 You do this. 895 01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:27.280 If it costs for that, you do that. We all 896 01:00:27.320 --> 01:00:28.039 know what we're doing. 897 01:00:34.440 --> 01:00:35.440 That's Ibby Lincoln. 898 01:00:36.880 --> 01:00:39.079 If you don't know about Ibbie Lincoln, Ibby Lincoln it 899 01:00:39.159 --> 01:00:44.920 was is was an incredible jazz singer and her and 900 01:00:45.000 --> 01:00:50.599 her husband Max Roach put some incredible music together and 901 01:00:50.639 --> 01:00:53.880 made some incredible music together. And I employ you to 902 01:00:54.239 --> 01:01:06.480 check out their album we Insist and really understand the 903 01:01:06.599 --> 01:01:09.840 music that was being made in the time of the 904 01:01:09.840 --> 01:01:12.360 sixties and the seventies and how. 905 01:01:12.239 --> 01:01:17.840 It was literal voice from spirit. 906 01:01:18.800 --> 01:01:23.880 And when you hear Abby Lincoln on we Insist, man, listen, 907 01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:29.000 you understand that it is not. 908 01:01:31.280 --> 01:01:32.760 By coincidence that the. 909 01:01:32.760 --> 01:01:39.480 Music that we hear now has no range, it has 910 01:01:39.679 --> 01:01:46.920 no movement. The music we hear now is frequencied out 911 01:01:47.639 --> 01:01:48.719 frequency lists. 912 01:01:51.599 --> 01:01:55.679 And this music that they made was music made from love. 913 01:01:55.960 --> 01:02:03.000 They were married and uh you know they would fly 914 01:02:05.719 --> 01:02:09.840 look at me, Max Roach. 915 01:02:09.719 --> 01:02:12.599 Was not no play, was not no game on them drums, 916 01:02:13.880 --> 01:02:18.880 all right, not no game. One of my favorite jazz 917 01:02:18.880 --> 01:02:20.760 songs of all time. 918 01:02:21.760 --> 01:02:25.239 You do whatever it's necessary is by. 919 01:02:25.119 --> 01:02:28.400 Ibbi Lincoln well sang by Abbie Lincoln. Once it's brother, 920 01:02:28.480 --> 01:02:31.880 Can you spare a dime? Ones? 921 01:02:32.119 --> 01:02:44.400 I built a railroad, made it road, made it race 922 01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:48.239 against time. 923 01:02:50.280 --> 01:03:00.639 Once I built a railroad.

The 996 01:07:37.239 --> 01:07:40.199 City of Brooklyn Park. Behind me is a bunch of 997 01:07:40.239 --> 01:07:42.840 amazing police chiefs that are here in support of a 998 01:07:42.960 --> 01:07:45.239 very short, but very important message that we want to 999 01:07:45.280 --> 01:07:48.760 share with you. What you won't hear from many of 1000 01:07:48.800 --> 01:07:53.639 us today is rhetoric of abolish ICE or that there 1001 01:07:53.639 --> 01:07:58.239 shouldn't be immigration enforcement. The truth is immigration enforcement is 1002 01:07:58.280 --> 01:08:02.719 necessary for national security and for local security, but how 1003 01:08:02.719 --> 01:08:06.280 it's done is extremely important. In fact, we have a 1004 01:08:06.320 --> 01:08:10.079 long history of working exceptionally well with our federal partners, 1005 01:08:10.519 --> 01:08:13.599 including ICE agents, and we have seen the best of 1006 01:08:13.639 --> 01:08:18.479 them performed their job extremely well in the past. With 1007 01:08:18.560 --> 01:08:23.560 that said, recently, as the last two weeks, we as 1008 01:08:23.680 --> 01:08:28.600 law enforcement community, have been receiving endless complaints about civil 1009 01:08:28.720 --> 01:08:34.960 rights violations and our streets from US citizens. What we're 1010 01:08:35.000 --> 01:08:39.000 hearing is they're being stopped in traffic stops or on 1011 01:08:39.079 --> 01:08:42.840 the street with no cause and being forced to demand 1012 01:08:43.399 --> 01:08:49.039 paperwork to determine if they are here legally. As this 1013 01:08:49.119 --> 01:08:52.159 went on over the past two weeks, we started hearing 1014 01:08:52.199 --> 01:08:55.319 from our police officers the same complaints as they fell 1015 01:08:55.399 --> 01:08:59.520 victim to this while off duty. Every one of these 1016 01:08:59.560 --> 01:09:03.039 individuals is a person of color who has had this 1017 01:09:03.079 --> 01:09:07.920 happen to them. In Brooklyn Park, one particular officer that 1018 01:09:08.159 --> 01:09:11.560 shared her story with me was stopped as she passed 1019 01:09:11.600 --> 01:09:15.359 ice going down the roadway. When they boxed her in, 1020 01:09:15.439 --> 01:09:18.800 they demanded her paperwork, of which she's a US citizen 1021 01:09:18.880 --> 01:09:20.600 and clearly would not have any paperwork. 1022 01:09:21.479 --> 01:09:24.920 The irony of this is not lost on me, but 1023 01:09:25.000 --> 01:09:27.279 it is definitely lost on them. 1024 01:09:27.920 --> 01:09:30.239 I find it absolutely. 1025 01:09:30.239 --> 01:09:38.239 Helllary, are we supposed to build ba for y'all? 1026 01:09:38.479 --> 01:09:42.000 Because we absolutely do not. 1027 01:09:42.520 --> 01:09:46.119 The cops say, invading folks, they stay doing too much 1028 01:09:46.159 --> 01:09:50.840 and they are absolutely a tool of oppressors to continue oppression. 1029 01:09:51.079 --> 01:09:53.119 Let's go on down to Miami and look at these 1030 01:09:53.119 --> 01:09:57.399 Miami vice holes. Came up to a woman's house because 1031 01:09:57.439 --> 01:10:01.920 of a comment that she left on the the internets to. 1032 01:10:02.079 --> 01:10:02.640 Make sure it's you. 1033 01:10:02.760 --> 01:10:03.560 We're not sure. 1034 01:10:06.119 --> 01:10:06.840 That your account. 1035 01:10:09.319 --> 01:10:12.119 I refuse to answer her questions without my lawyer president, 1036 01:10:12.560 --> 01:10:14.680 So I really don't know how to answer that. 1037 01:10:16.079 --> 01:10:18.319 Like I said, speech, this is. 1038 01:10:18.319 --> 01:10:22.560 America, and I agree with we're just trying to see 1039 01:10:22.600 --> 01:10:24.279 that you then we're not talking to the right person. 1040 01:10:24.319 --> 01:10:25.960 We want to go see the right How can I 1041 01:10:26.000 --> 01:10:28.199 help you? So pretty much, it's just a statement that 1042 01:10:28.319 --> 01:10:28.640 was made. 1043 01:10:28.680 --> 01:10:32.560 As far as you know, remain it says the guy 1044 01:10:32.680 --> 01:10:36.199 who consistently calls for the death of all Palestinians tried 1045 01:10:36.239 --> 01:10:38.119 to shut down a feeder for showing a movie that 1046 01:10:38.199 --> 01:10:39.680 hurt his feelings and. 1047 01:10:39.640 --> 01:10:42.279 Refuses to stand up for the LGBTQ community in any 1048 01:10:42.279 --> 01:10:44.720 way even leave the room when they vote. 1049 01:10:44.760 --> 01:10:46.600 And on related matters. 1050 01:10:46.680 --> 01:10:48.680 Want you to know that you're all welcome. 1051 01:10:49.239 --> 01:10:50.840 Clown face clown face conference. 1052 01:10:51.760 --> 01:10:54.399 These people came up to this lady house because of 1053 01:10:54.439 --> 01:10:57.680 a comment she made about the mayor of Miami. She 1054 01:10:57.840 --> 01:11:02.039 is a veteran and this is not something new. However, 1055 01:11:02.119 --> 01:11:05.039 folks are really beginning to understand that the United States 1056 01:11:05.039 --> 01:11:08.000 and this concept of free speech is just a ruse. 1057 01:11:08.359 --> 01:11:10.840 It's the same way that Israel presents the rules like 1058 01:11:10.880 --> 01:11:12.439 they are some democratic nation. 1059 01:11:12.640 --> 01:11:15.520 No, they are not. Only certain folks. 1060 01:11:15.239 --> 01:11:19.199 Get access to the rights everyone else. It is just 1061 01:11:19.319 --> 01:11:22.760 a suggestion. And the sooner that you understand that, than 1062 01:11:22.840 --> 01:11:25.640 maybe the more mad enough you'll get to actually challenge 1063 01:11:25.640 --> 01:11:27.239 the folks who put this in place. And I can 1064 01:11:27.279 --> 01:11:31.079 tell you it is not the forefathers, Benjamin Franklin and such. 1065 01:11:31.239 --> 01:11:34.439 All right, let's keep it moving, because it really is 1066 01:11:34.479 --> 01:11:37.199 the folks who have built up Israel. And that's what 1067 01:11:37.279 --> 01:11:38.840 they went to go to the lad lady's house to 1068 01:11:38.880 --> 01:11:41.439 talk about. And then they have the nerve to now 1069 01:11:41.760 --> 01:11:47.359 have Israel in Patagonia burning down parts of Argentina and Chile. 1070 01:11:49.039 --> 01:11:56.199 Israel right, Porto. 1071 01:11:55.560 --> 01:12:04.720 Portolao, no ghetto, nah. 1072 01:12:03.600 --> 01:12:13.520 Get the really look at this footage. Absolutely the pipe. 1073 01:12:16.159 --> 01:12:18.720 Israel right, people are the same. 1074 01:12:19.359 --> 01:12:23.479 No, but we don't really don't know. I close it. 1075 01:12:23.600 --> 01:12:27.359 I have to we have to do we go when. 1076 01:12:31.880 --> 01:12:38.000 Incent Argentina put Israel, when I said Incentu's provocast for 1077 01:12:38.039 --> 01:12:41.000 suposteros toist that Israeli Argentina. 1078 01:12:42.079 --> 01:12:48.319 I doesn't know, you know, died through Mosca. 1079 01:12:50.840 --> 01:12:51.439 But I look on. 1080 01:12:53.960 --> 01:12:57.840 Now, these are all different people in Argentina and Chili 1081 01:12:58.359 --> 01:13:03.439 and Chile speaking of the destruction that Israelis are doing 1082 01:13:03.520 --> 01:13:05.960 to their land. You have to also understand, though, that 1083 01:13:06.079 --> 01:13:09.079 this goes back to when Theodore Herzel back in the 1084 01:13:09.199 --> 01:13:12.319 late eighteen hundreds was looking for a place for Zionists 1085 01:13:12.359 --> 01:13:14.800 to set up shop and said, well what about and 1086 01:13:15.039 --> 01:13:18.079 what about Argentina. And they had a whole plan to 1087 01:13:18.119 --> 01:13:20.720 go to Argentina. It didn't pop off, and they ended 1088 01:13:20.800 --> 01:13:24.960 up over in Fallestine. However, there are still plans to 1089 01:13:25.279 --> 01:13:29.199 usurp Argentina, because the Zionist plan is not simply to 1090 01:13:29.399 --> 01:13:32.000 just have the region of the East. 1091 01:13:32.319 --> 01:13:34.279 No, they want the world. 1092 01:13:35.079 --> 01:13:40.000 They want the world, and they have spent literally a century, 1093 01:13:40.079 --> 01:13:45.319 almost at this point, seventy five years brainwashing an entire 1094 01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:49.399 army and generations of an army of drones who respond 1095 01:13:50.319 --> 01:13:56.199 to particular language and to particular dedic to particular demands 1096 01:13:57.279 --> 01:14:04.359 and to particular orders, and do whatever needs to be 1097 01:14:04.520 --> 01:14:06.239 done for the sake of Israel. 1098 01:14:06.439 --> 01:14:07.840 Even if it is. 1099 01:14:08.000 --> 01:14:14.800 Completely demeaning to anybody else, and that includes burning the land. Now, 1100 01:14:14.920 --> 01:14:18.920 Jabier Melay, who is now the president of Argentina, is 1101 01:14:19.000 --> 01:14:23.560 a Zionist. He is a Zionist. He was bailed out 1102 01:14:23.800 --> 01:14:27.119 by Trump and you're like by Trump. Actually, no, he 1103 01:14:27.279 --> 01:14:29.760 was bailed out by the United States, by the Central Bank. 1104 01:14:29.800 --> 01:14:33.600 He was bailed out by the Zionists that run the world. 1105 01:14:35.279 --> 01:14:39.000 Because the goal is to have the world be under 1106 01:14:39.319 --> 01:14:40.479 one currency. 1107 01:14:40.680 --> 01:14:41.479 That's the goal. 1108 01:14:42.319 --> 01:14:44.720 To be able to suppress everyone at the same time, 1109 01:14:44.960 --> 01:14:48.039 you're not even gonna have dollars. They're gonna be able 1110 01:14:48.079 --> 01:14:52.399 to say no, not you. That's the goal, complete domination. 1111 01:14:52.560 --> 01:14:56.279 It's for shit. Anytime you see these movies where it 1112 01:14:56.359 --> 01:14:59.720 looks like stuff is beyond your scope of comprehension, no 1113 01:15:00.039 --> 01:15:01.840 that they're doing that to try and convince you that 1114 01:15:01.960 --> 01:15:03.439 that's not what they're actually doing. 1115 01:15:04.199 --> 01:15:07.000 They want you to think it's fantasy, it's real. 1116 01:15:08.520 --> 01:15:11.239 And you know what, what you always have to remember 1117 01:15:11.720 --> 01:15:15.439 is that if everything is connected, everything is connected. So 1118 01:15:15.600 --> 01:15:18.760 if they have capabilities that they've been able to harness 1119 01:15:18.880 --> 01:15:21.880 and master to harm, then you better believe that there 1120 01:15:21.920 --> 01:15:24.960 are folks who have capabilities who have figured out how 1121 01:15:25.039 --> 01:15:27.439 to harness and master them to help. 1122 01:15:27.479 --> 01:15:30.680 And Palestinians define that on a regular basis. 1123 01:15:30.800 --> 01:15:49.920 Look at these folks, I'm gonna has to get in 1124 01:15:50.479 --> 01:15:57.960 when't you will look at the rule and not ful 1125 01:15:58.119 --> 01:15:58.520 Look for. 1126 01:16:01.039 --> 01:16:02.880 So the people who are listening on the podcast, I 1127 01:16:02.920 --> 01:16:05.960 will translate for you. They are saying that basically what 1128 01:16:06.119 --> 01:16:10.119 they do is they are taking the rubble that has 1129 01:16:10.199 --> 01:16:13.000 been left behind and they are having to put it 1130 01:16:13.079 --> 01:16:16.960 through small crushers because they don't have the large crushers. 1131 01:16:17.239 --> 01:16:21.479 But they are breaking it down to create bricks in 1132 01:16:21.720 --> 01:16:23.600 order to rebuild it. 1133 01:16:27.880 --> 01:16:29.279 And they can head. 1134 01:16:31.920 --> 01:16:34.520 They're doing this manually. 1135 01:16:38.520 --> 01:16:39.279 Or ben hat. 1136 01:16:51.000 --> 01:16:54.640 They then remove the impurities in order to produce bricks, 1137 01:16:55.039 --> 01:16:58.960 and they have created cementless bricks. And if you're wondering 1138 01:16:59.319 --> 01:17:01.720 why I'm playing video of someone speaking a language that 1139 01:17:01.920 --> 01:17:04.520 you don't speak, it's because I want us to get 1140 01:17:04.640 --> 01:17:10.199 comfortable hearing other tongues. I want us to get comfortable 1141 01:17:10.680 --> 01:17:14.960 hearing other language. I don't want us to continue to 1142 01:17:15.039 --> 01:17:16.520 be living in our own silos. 1143 01:17:17.279 --> 01:17:22.319 Cool, come on and tell me as Publigusta fiel As 1144 01:17:22.399 --> 01:17:27.720 meant to miss with Saba mash, I think I'm an. 1145 01:17:29.960 --> 01:17:40.159 Msala. Come on, stead Halia pr Fallus. 1146 01:17:41.000 --> 01:17:45.479 So they have made the bricks without cement, but instead 1147 01:17:45.800 --> 01:17:50.279 using items and resources that are actually available. 1148 01:17:49.760 --> 01:18:00.159 In yeaf Worth degree. But Fansen Setenaer and. 1149 01:18:02.960 --> 01:18:07.000 And the bricks that they've made are so ingenious because 1150 01:18:07.800 --> 01:18:12.119 they do not require plastering or finishing. They are able 1151 01:18:12.239 --> 01:18:17.640 to be laid down, mortared and that's it. Lego bricks. 1152 01:18:22.079 --> 01:18:24.399 You're literally lego bricks, y'all. 1153 01:18:30.199 --> 01:18:32.239 So for those of you who may not know about 1154 01:18:32.319 --> 01:18:34.760 building homes, one of the things that can be so 1155 01:18:34.880 --> 01:18:39.079 difficult is routing electricity because when you're building, you have 1156 01:18:39.239 --> 01:18:43.199 to find spaces in the in the in the walls 1157 01:18:43.279 --> 01:18:45.760 to be able to run plumbing and electricity. So what 1158 01:18:45.960 --> 01:18:49.840 they have engineered here are bricks that have holes in 1159 01:18:50.000 --> 01:18:53.439 the center that line up so that it is easy 1160 01:18:53.560 --> 01:18:59.000 to run electricity and plumbing. This is actually beyond innovative 1161 01:18:59.039 --> 01:19:02.560 for Palestinians, and this is a form of building that 1162 01:19:02.680 --> 01:19:05.239 can be innovative for the world when we look at 1163 01:19:05.319 --> 01:19:08.760 Africa and how they are still living in mud huts 1164 01:19:08.840 --> 01:19:12.520 because it makes sense for the climate. This right here 1165 01:19:13.000 --> 01:19:16.159 is we are witnessing innovation in real time that will 1166 01:19:16.279 --> 01:19:17.119 last for a time. 1167 01:19:18.399 --> 01:19:22.439 Heat and Ma'm publishing sir, we see the technical. 1168 01:19:27.560 --> 01:19:40.800 Vinicipular les soup man, we start doing. 1169 01:19:43.199 --> 01:19:46.640 They recruit workers who have been displaced to help with 1170 01:19:46.720 --> 01:19:50.680 the constructions. So individuals can contribute rubble, they can contribute 1171 01:19:50.760 --> 01:19:54.039 utility networks. They can contribute to actually breaking down the rubble. 1172 01:19:57.680 --> 01:20:03.600 Come and the idea woman in Betan, did you saman year? 1173 01:20:17.760 --> 01:20:20.239 So this is the Green Rock Project. You can learn 1174 01:20:20.279 --> 01:20:22.760 more about them online. I just wanted to share that 1175 01:20:22.880 --> 01:20:24.840 with you because I know that it can feel so 1176 01:20:25.319 --> 01:20:30.560 distabilitating how often we are looking at destruction and degradation. However, 1177 01:20:30.680 --> 01:20:35.079 remember that everything is everything in in the midst of 1178 01:20:35.159 --> 01:20:39.359 destruction and degradation, there is there is always someone somewhere. 1179 01:20:39.439 --> 01:20:41.720 There is light because the earth still exists and the 1180 01:20:41.840 --> 01:20:43.600 Earth is a giver of life and light. 1181 01:20:44.000 --> 01:20:47.039 And let me just tell you, I feel like all people. 1182 01:20:47.039 --> 01:20:50.760 Of indigenous origin have like specific kind of like gifts 1183 01:20:50.840 --> 01:20:53.279 that they are able to get to bring. And then 1184 01:20:53.359 --> 01:20:57.119 Palestinians when it comes to engineering, I think they might 1185 01:20:57.199 --> 01:20:57.800 got it, y'all. 1186 01:20:59.079 --> 01:20:59.920 I think the I think for. 1187 01:21:00.199 --> 01:21:02.199 Steam, I got it on the engineering. I think they 1188 01:21:02.239 --> 01:21:06.199 may got it. Black American indigenous folks, I think we 1189 01:21:06.319 --> 01:21:08.760 got it on the arts because we we we coming 1190 01:21:08.800 --> 01:21:10.439 with the music we got. I think we got it 1191 01:21:10.520 --> 01:21:13.359 on the music, the amount of different types of music 1192 01:21:13.439 --> 01:21:17.640 we have made that have changed up the entire world. Okay, 1193 01:21:17.960 --> 01:21:19.000 I think we got it on that. 1194 01:21:19.640 --> 01:21:21.800 I think we do. But when it comes when it 1195 01:21:22.439 --> 01:21:22.720 when it. 1196 01:21:22.800 --> 01:21:29.840 Come to engineering, god, now may they they really been 1197 01:21:29.920 --> 01:21:32.920 doing it. So I wanted to share that with you 1198 01:21:33.000 --> 01:21:35.560 all because I know that it can be so frustrating. 1199 01:21:35.600 --> 01:21:38.640 It can really feel like what we got that, dude, 1200 01:21:40.199 --> 01:21:43.119 But we're gonna keep doing. Are y also with me 1201 01:21:43.199 --> 01:21:44.439 for these sixty second headlines? 1202 01:21:50.079 --> 01:21:54.039 All right? Because we got one more. Let's actually we 1203 01:21:54.119 --> 01:21:54.680 have two more. 1204 01:21:55.039 --> 01:21:55.079 So. 1205 01:21:55.279 --> 01:21:58.439 Mark Carney, who is the leader over there in Canada, 1206 01:21:58.600 --> 01:22:00.880 had this to say about the United States. 1207 01:22:01.439 --> 01:22:04.840 To the story of the International Rules Base Order was 1208 01:22:04.920 --> 01:22:05.680 partially false. 1209 01:22:07.720 --> 01:22:10.720 Sorry, I need to change that. He is the Prime Minister. 1210 01:22:11.199 --> 01:22:12.039 They are not leaders. 1211 01:22:12.039 --> 01:22:14.600 They're actually followers who are carrying out an agenda that 1212 01:22:14.720 --> 01:22:15.359 was handed to them. 1213 01:22:15.720 --> 01:22:18.880 We knew the story of the International Rules Base Order 1214 01:22:19.079 --> 01:22:23.840 was partially false, that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient, 1215 01:22:24.359 --> 01:22:30.319 that trade rules were enforced asymmetrically, and we knew that 1216 01:22:30.479 --> 01:22:33.800 international law applied with varying rigor depending on the identity 1217 01:22:33.880 --> 01:22:38.760 of the accused or the victim. This fiction was useful. 1218 01:22:39.520 --> 01:22:44.680 An American hegemony, in particular, helped provide public goods, open 1219 01:22:44.760 --> 01:22:49.159 sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security, and support 1220 01:22:49.279 --> 01:22:54.000 for frameworks for resolving disputes. So we placed the sign 1221 01:22:54.159 --> 01:22:58.920 in the window, we participated in the rituals, and we 1222 01:22:59.159 --> 01:23:02.960 largely of calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality. 1223 01:23:04.520 --> 01:23:09.399 This bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We 1224 01:23:09.720 --> 01:23:12.279 are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition. 1225 01:23:13.520 --> 01:23:17.720 Over the past two decades, a series of crises in finance, health, energy, 1226 01:23:17.760 --> 01:23:21.560 and geopolitics have laid bare the risks of extreme global integration. 1227 01:23:22.399 --> 01:23:26.760 But more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration 1228 01:23:27.039 --> 01:23:32.640 as weapons. Tariffs's leverage, financial infrastructure is coercion, supply chains 1229 01:23:32.680 --> 01:23:37.880 as vulnerabilities to be exploited. You cannot live within the 1230 01:23:38.000 --> 01:23:42.720 lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the 1231 01:23:42.880 --> 01:23:45.239 source of your subordination. 1232 01:23:46.920 --> 01:23:47.279 Nazi. 1233 01:23:47.439 --> 01:23:49.640 Some of y'all thinking that this man is being brave, 1234 01:23:50.800 --> 01:23:54.279 and I just want to always remind you that you 1235 01:23:54.479 --> 01:23:59.039 are not watching someone who is speaking from their individual 1236 01:23:59.159 --> 01:24:03.520 decision making power. Folks like this are able to get 1237 01:24:03.600 --> 01:24:07.039 in power because they are going to be willing to 1238 01:24:07.319 --> 01:24:11.239 carry out the Powers that Bes agenda. Thank you, Emma. 1239 01:24:11.560 --> 01:24:13.520 Someone wrote his speech. Side note. 1240 01:24:13.600 --> 01:24:15.119 I remember going on a date one time with this 1241 01:24:15.199 --> 01:24:16.720 guy who was like, you know, I. 1242 01:24:17.000 --> 01:24:21.000 Just love Barack Obama and I was like, oh, okay, 1243 01:24:22.239 --> 01:24:23.800 you know what did you love about Barack? And he 1244 01:24:23.920 --> 01:24:26.359 was like, oh my god, he was such an incredible speaker. 1245 01:24:26.439 --> 01:24:29.880 I mean, he was just so amazing as a speaker. 1246 01:24:30.000 --> 01:24:33.319 And I was like, I mean, you know that he 1247 01:24:34.479 --> 01:24:36.119 did not write his speeches correct. 1248 01:24:36.920 --> 01:24:37.920 The date was never the same. 1249 01:24:38.279 --> 01:24:41.039 This is the gaffer from Insecure who who ended up 1250 01:24:41.079 --> 01:24:42.560 crying later on the date, like. 1251 01:24:44.600 --> 01:24:46.119 I just ruined his whole vision. 1252 01:24:46.520 --> 01:24:49.239 But Mark Carney here, and what he's saying is that 1253 01:24:49.600 --> 01:24:52.399 they're not gonna mess with the USA anymore because the 1254 01:24:52.520 --> 01:24:56.039 mess with of the USA is done. They're done, and 1255 01:24:56.119 --> 01:24:59.319 they're making deals with China. And here's what I theorize 1256 01:24:59.359 --> 01:25:04.319 is actually had happening. The United States has run its 1257 01:25:04.760 --> 01:25:09.039 UH has basically overrun its time as a useful tool 1258 01:25:09.399 --> 01:25:12.600 for these Zionist powers that be, and thus they are 1259 01:25:12.720 --> 01:25:16.479 going to tank the United States in order to save 1260 01:25:16.600 --> 01:25:19.520 it via Israel. And that is how We're going to 1261 01:25:19.560 --> 01:25:21.680 see regime change in the United States, and nothing is 1262 01:25:21.720 --> 01:25:25.840 going to be the same. Nothing is going to be 1263 01:25:25.920 --> 01:25:28.760 the same. And all of you, all who do not 1264 01:25:28.920 --> 01:25:31.359 believe in Zionism or who do not think it is 1265 01:25:31.399 --> 01:25:34.079 a power that is going to affect you, are going 1266 01:25:34.159 --> 01:25:36.319 to have to fight it head on because it's going 1267 01:25:36.399 --> 01:25:39.640 to be in your face every day because the global 1268 01:25:40.159 --> 01:25:44.239 course is moving. And when we're seeing these things that happen, 1269 01:25:44.359 --> 01:25:48.279 if it don't make sense, it's because it don't make sense. 1270 01:25:53.880 --> 01:25:56.680 That is what I theorize is happening. And when you 1271 01:25:56.840 --> 01:25:58.680 see folks that are. 1272 01:26:00.439 --> 01:26:06.119 You're seeing the co opting of protests in other places, 1273 01:26:06.640 --> 01:26:08.560 you think they're not going to do that here. 1274 01:26:08.640 --> 01:26:11.920 You think they're not trying to do it here, of course. 1275 01:26:12.279 --> 01:26:14.439 And the astrology girlies will all tell you, we just 1276 01:26:14.479 --> 01:26:16.680 had Laura Chung here last week that we are in 1277 01:26:16.880 --> 01:26:19.880 the year of end of Empire, and these people believe 1278 01:26:19.920 --> 01:26:20.680 in astrology. 1279 01:26:21.000 --> 01:26:25.560 They literally worship Saturn. Literally. I'm not saying that as 1280 01:26:25.680 --> 01:26:29.000 like a as like something to just say out my neck. 1281 01:26:30.920 --> 01:26:35.079 The people who run the world identify as a sect 1282 01:26:35.239 --> 01:26:41.039 of Jewish people, and the Sabbath is about Saturn. Come on, 1283 01:26:45.439 --> 01:26:55.359 wake up, we're being run and thus, Okay, so now 1284 01:26:55.479 --> 01:26:57.600 we have this person. What happens if you're wrong? 1285 01:26:57.720 --> 01:26:57.880 Though? 1286 01:26:58.319 --> 01:27:00.960 Israel's an American occupied government, not the other way around. 1287 01:27:01.079 --> 01:27:04.319 I'm not wrong, so you don't have to worry about that. 1288 01:27:05.680 --> 01:27:10.399 I am not wrong. And there's literally, I mean, such. 1289 01:27:10.199 --> 01:27:18.000 An abundance of evidence that disputes what you're saying. I'm 1290 01:27:18.039 --> 01:27:21.920 not making this up. Any theory I have comes from evidence, 1291 01:27:23.439 --> 01:27:26.640 and then my intuition backs it up. 1292 01:27:33.039 --> 01:27:41.399 Come on, So when we see these things, these. 1293 01:27:41.840 --> 01:27:48.399 Moments, Oh, somebody said, I'm a narcissist. I love how 1294 01:27:48.520 --> 01:27:54.560 y'all do not know what narcissm is. I really love 1295 01:27:54.640 --> 01:27:57.039 that y'all do not know what narcissism is. Let's just 1296 01:27:57.079 --> 01:28:00.720 take a quick side quest to talk about what narcissism is. 1297 01:28:01.760 --> 01:28:08.079 Narcissism is the inability to be corrected when you have 1298 01:28:08.399 --> 01:28:16.680 committed harm. Okay, that's what narcissism is. Narcissism is not 1299 01:28:16.840 --> 01:28:22.319 being right because you're right. Narcissism, as Kimberly is pointing 1300 01:28:22.319 --> 01:28:26.159 out as well, is also the absence of empathy. It 1301 01:28:26.279 --> 01:28:30.600 is the inability to see the other person as you. 1302 01:28:32.319 --> 01:28:36.560 That is what narcissism is. Nobody who has spent even 1303 01:28:36.640 --> 01:28:40.560 a modicum of time consuming my content could ever confidently 1304 01:28:40.680 --> 01:28:44.840 say that I am made narcissist. I cry way too 1305 01:28:45.319 --> 01:28:53.279 much about other people's pain to be considered a narcissist. No, 1306 01:28:54.359 --> 01:28:56.680 when I have been told that I have harmed somebody, 1307 01:28:57.439 --> 01:29:05.079 I receive it course correct, and I practice restorative justice practices. Now, 1308 01:29:05.359 --> 01:29:07.439 the thing about it is there have been times where 1309 01:29:07.479 --> 01:29:12.039 people are actually weaponizing those accusations, as we have seen 1310 01:29:12.119 --> 01:29:15.640 with folks claiming to be anti with folks accusing people 1311 01:29:15.680 --> 01:29:20.199 of being anti Semitic, that's a real thing. People will 1312 01:29:20.279 --> 01:29:23.600 try to use your empathy against you because they know 1313 01:29:23.960 --> 01:29:27.560 that you are empathetic, and so they will actually instead 1314 01:29:27.600 --> 01:29:30.720 of uh so, what they will do is they will 1315 01:29:30.880 --> 01:29:31.760 use your empathy. 1316 01:29:34.640 --> 01:29:38.359 So don't get me out here trying to call me 1317 01:29:39.239 --> 01:29:41.680 a narcissist because I. 1318 01:29:41.760 --> 01:29:46.520 Refuse to capitulate to someone else's accusation of my erroneousness. 1319 01:29:46.760 --> 01:29:50.640 I am not wrong, and I'm not gonna say that 1320 01:29:50.720 --> 01:29:52.960 I'm wrong because it makes you feel comfortable. 1321 01:29:54.119 --> 01:29:58.359 I know when I'm wrong and I know when i'm right. 1322 01:29:59.399 --> 01:30:04.039 And I also don't be speaking on shit, you know, Like, 1323 01:30:04.159 --> 01:30:05.840 if people want to tell me I'm wrong. You gotta 1324 01:30:05.880 --> 01:30:13.079 give me the reason why, and they'll be like, oh, oh, 1325 01:30:15.439 --> 01:30:23.199 now I know, So let's get back on track. We 1326 01:30:23.439 --> 01:30:29.640 had a brother stand up and expel his light into Oh, 1327 01:30:29.680 --> 01:30:33.079 don't get me started on, Lord Denethorpe.

That was from twenty 1520 01:41:24.159 --> 01:41:24.600 twenty two. 1521 01:41:25.600 --> 01:41:30.359 Read them on down y'all just took him, took him 1522 01:41:30.399 --> 01:41:31.880 now took him? 1523 01:41:32.199 --> 01:41:32.359 Now? 1524 01:41:35.760 --> 01:41:40.760 Oh man, Well, before we uh get into the next segment, 1525 01:41:40.960 --> 01:41:45.479 I want to play for you all this uh, this 1526 01:41:46.319 --> 01:41:50.920 segment of doctor Martin Luther King from my show. 1527 01:41:51.239 --> 01:41:52.600 What would the ancestors say? 1528 01:41:53.159 --> 01:41:56.880 Now, we just had doctor Rotin Luther King's birthday celebration 1529 01:41:57.039 --> 01:41:59.840 on the nineteenth observed here in the United States, and 1530 01:42:00.079 --> 01:42:04.840 I wanted to just remember that the doctor King that 1531 01:42:05.159 --> 01:42:10.039 got a celebration birthday, that birthday is not about doctor King. 1532 01:42:10.640 --> 01:42:14.680 That birthday is about pacifying the people. That man would 1533 01:42:14.720 --> 01:42:21.880 not have wanted a birthday, I promise you. Apparently the 1534 01:42:22.800 --> 01:42:26.720 next sermon that he was about supposed to give was 1535 01:42:27.479 --> 01:42:35.359 why America is going to Hell? And he was assassinated 1536 01:42:35.840 --> 01:42:40.239 before he was able to give the sermon. It is 1537 01:42:40.359 --> 01:42:45.239 also said that the person who killed him ended up 1538 01:42:45.800 --> 01:42:50.279 not being able to be linked to the weapon. So 1539 01:42:51.159 --> 01:42:55.039 eye witnessed testimonies also said that they saw other people 1540 01:42:55.239 --> 01:42:58.880 moving in bushes, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. You know, and we 1541 01:42:59.079 --> 01:43:01.920 just have to know and understand that everything we're told 1542 01:43:02.000 --> 01:43:03.359 is a lie. So like, why would they tell the 1543 01:43:03.439 --> 01:43:04.000 truth about that. 1544 01:43:06.479 --> 01:43:08.840 You know what I mean? Why why would they tell 1545 01:43:08.840 --> 01:43:11.199 the truth about that? They wouldn't. There's no reason to 1546 01:43:11.239 --> 01:43:12.039 tell the truth about that. 1547 01:43:13.760 --> 01:43:16.680 We know from the FBI files that came out that 1548 01:43:16.840 --> 01:43:23.239 there was immense efforts to do everything in their power 1549 01:43:24.520 --> 01:43:27.239 to create dissension between doctor Martin Luther King and everyone 1550 01:43:27.279 --> 01:43:29.479 around him, the same way that there was immense efforts 1551 01:43:29.680 --> 01:43:31.520 to create dissension amongst the Panthers. 1552 01:43:32.279 --> 01:43:35.920 And while I'm talking about the Panthers, can I also just. 1553 01:43:36.439 --> 01:43:40.880 Like I keep seeing people using the word infighting. Like 1554 01:43:41.000 --> 01:43:44.079 if I say, hey, I don't know if this person's 1555 01:43:44.119 --> 01:43:46.199 actually what they are. We need to really look into this. 1556 01:43:46.439 --> 01:43:51.479 People are like, you're starting infighting. That's not what infighting is. 1557 01:43:53.119 --> 01:43:58.159 Infighting is creating conflict for the sake of conflict. Infighting 1558 01:43:58.520 --> 01:44:02.720 is people within the same effort disagreeing to a point 1559 01:44:02.800 --> 01:44:04.600 of inability to move forward. 1560 01:44:05.159 --> 01:44:06.199 That's what infighting is. 1561 01:44:06.800 --> 01:44:12.119 Inquiry is not infighting, and for what it's worth, it's 1562 01:44:12.159 --> 01:44:13.600 a real quick route to the truth. 1563 01:44:14.359 --> 01:44:16.640 So I made a video about that. 1564 01:44:16.760 --> 01:44:20.960 Dude from the Black Panthers in Philadelphia, and I put 1565 01:44:21.000 --> 01:44:23.199 that in quotes Black Panthers in Philadelphia. I made a 1566 01:44:23.279 --> 01:44:27.880 video about that dude three days ago, he should have 1567 01:44:27.920 --> 01:44:29.119 been vetted and proven. 1568 01:44:29.000 --> 01:44:31.039 To be what he is by now he is not. 1569 01:44:32.600 --> 01:44:34.039 So we'll talk about that a little later. 1570 01:44:38.680 --> 01:44:42.039 But let's let me just show y'all some doctor king 1571 01:44:42.119 --> 01:44:44.439 real quick, because I'm really proud of the work that 1572 01:44:44.520 --> 01:44:47.159 I did for what would the ancestors say? And for 1573 01:44:47.279 --> 01:44:49.239 this live stream that we did for Life from lat 1574 01:44:49.800 --> 01:44:53.479 and getting to share it with you guys finally is 1575 01:44:53.560 --> 01:44:54.279 really exciting. 1576 01:44:54.359 --> 01:44:57.640 And we have the audiobook coming in March, so look 1577 01:44:57.680 --> 01:45:03.279 out for that. Also. I think it's. 1578 01:45:03.199 --> 01:45:10.319 Important to remember that you know the work that I'm doing, 1579 01:45:10.479 --> 01:45:12.960 the work that you're seeing me do, etc. Like you 1580 01:45:13.079 --> 01:45:18.039 guys are the source. So I love that you guys 1581 01:45:18.079 --> 01:45:20.720 continue to support my work and that you are bringing 1582 01:45:20.840 --> 01:45:23.840 new people to the place to support the work as well, 1583 01:45:24.000 --> 01:45:28.000 because without the new folks, I'd just be draining y'all, 1584 01:45:28.039 --> 01:45:32.039 and I don't want to drain nobody. He had been 1585 01:45:32.239 --> 01:45:33.800 a very prim and proper Negro. 1586 01:45:33.880 --> 01:45:35.439 However, and where do we go from here? 1587 01:45:35.560 --> 01:45:39.199 Community or chaos? The last book he wrote before being 1588 01:45:39.279 --> 01:45:43.840 assassinated on that fateful balcony in Memphis, Tennessee. He laments 1589 01:45:44.239 --> 01:45:47.079 that a year after the voting rights Act had passed. 1590 01:45:47.760 --> 01:45:49.800 Though the law changed, the. 1591 01:45:49.840 --> 01:45:52.840 American sentiment toward the Negro had not. 1592 01:45:54.319 --> 01:45:57.560 This was the burning house that Mlka Junior feared he'd 1593 01:45:57.560 --> 01:46:01.079 integrated his people into. We're so are often sold a 1594 01:46:01.239 --> 01:46:04.319 version of doctor King that is palatable to the oppressor, 1595 01:46:04.640 --> 01:46:08.840 one that depicts him as like an obedient subject, passively 1596 01:46:09.000 --> 01:46:12.680 asking for their rights on bended kneeses like please some. 1597 01:46:12.880 --> 01:46:23.600 All right, sir? Why is this audio not playing? That 1598 01:46:23.840 --> 01:46:31.079 is so annoying? Stand bye? 1599 01:46:34.359 --> 01:46:37.199 Someone asks if we can meditate for fifteen minutes together? 1600 01:46:37.479 --> 01:46:40.680 That's not really what this show I I for. 1601 01:46:41.119 --> 01:46:43.119 Okay, the answer is no, just because I don't like meditating. 1602 01:46:43.279 --> 01:46:44.920 So I'm just I was about to give you a 1603 01:46:44.960 --> 01:46:47.760 whole thing, but I just I don't like meditating. It's 1604 01:46:47.800 --> 01:46:54.319 not my it's not my jam and uh so no, 1605 01:46:56.760 --> 01:47:03.600 but I respect it, but I just it's uh no, 1606 01:47:05.520 --> 01:47:15.880 And fifteen minutes is like a really long time when 1607 01:47:15.920 --> 01:47:18.319 people do what this woman just did right here. What 1608 01:47:19.920 --> 01:47:25.880 that's annoying? Just so you know, lady Desiree, that's annoying. No, 1609 01:47:26.199 --> 01:47:28.600 I don't like meditating. And when you say some shit 1610 01:47:28.680 --> 01:47:31.279 you don't like that, I like, I promise you I'm 1611 01:47:31.319 --> 01:47:35.159 not going to respond that way because it's annoying. Meditating 1612 01:47:35.640 --> 01:47:47.039 is something done in many, many forms, and you said 1613 01:47:47.079 --> 01:47:50.119 that in a completely different comment. Do y'all realize I'm 1614 01:47:50.199 --> 01:47:52.840 I'm I'm do y'all realize that, like you are not 1615 01:47:52.960 --> 01:47:57.439 living in a vacuum. I'm doing a show and you're commenting. 1616 01:47:58.279 --> 01:48:00.920 So when you comment everything that comes your brain into 1617 01:48:01.000 --> 01:48:03.960 the chat and you think that I'm catching everything that 1618 01:48:04.039 --> 01:48:05.560 you say, you're wrong. 1619 01:48:07.199 --> 01:48:09.119 Okay, there's a chat of four. 1620 01:48:09.119 --> 01:48:14.920 Hundred and eighty three people here, so no, you didn't 1621 01:48:14.960 --> 01:48:16.119 say that in the same phrase. 1622 01:48:16.319 --> 01:48:19.640 You actually said, what meditating is a must? And then 1623 01:48:19.680 --> 01:48:20.720 a couple later. 1624 01:48:20.920 --> 01:48:24.199 You said, I respect it though, And you don't respect 1625 01:48:24.239 --> 01:48:27.479 it though, because you literally responded like that, And I 1626 01:48:27.600 --> 01:48:29.560 just want you to know that's annoying. 1627 01:48:32.359 --> 01:48:34.840 I got up this morning and did twenty minutes of yoga. 1628 01:48:36.159 --> 01:48:38.600 I hate yoga, still did it though. 1629 01:48:40.000 --> 01:48:42.560 I did it, y'all because I've been doing twenty minutes 1630 01:48:42.600 --> 01:48:47.119 of movement every day. Every day I do twenty minutes 1631 01:48:47.159 --> 01:48:51.319 of movement, and it's been working wonders. But I'm also 1632 01:48:51.439 --> 01:48:53.560 now in the phase where my body is like, oh, so. 1633 01:48:53.720 --> 01:48:56.840 We we're still gonna do We're gonna keep doing this. 1634 01:48:59.359 --> 01:49:04.119 My body is like the novelty is over. My body 1635 01:49:04.199 --> 01:49:05.319 is now like huh. 1636 01:49:07.199 --> 01:49:10.359 Yes, And I went and swam yesterday, and let me 1637 01:49:10.479 --> 01:49:13.319 tell y'all, and yes, the swimming is my meditation for real. 1638 01:49:13.840 --> 01:49:18.640 And when I'm swimming, I'm getting so much stronger, y'all. 1639 01:49:19.039 --> 01:49:23.000 Before I could only do four laps, and yesterday I 1640 01:49:23.079 --> 01:49:24.319 did sets of five laps. 1641 01:49:24.359 --> 01:49:25.199 And the goal. 1642 01:49:25.199 --> 01:49:29.359 Eventually is to be able to just swim NonStop for 1643 01:49:29.439 --> 01:49:32.039 twenty minutes. I hope one day I can get there 1644 01:49:32.399 --> 01:49:37.079 where I can swim non stop for twenty minutes, because 1645 01:49:37.119 --> 01:49:39.479 basically there's three modes of swimming I do, like It'll 1646 01:49:39.520 --> 01:49:43.439 be freestyle, back backstroke, and then I'll do like a 1647 01:49:43.520 --> 01:49:47.000 backstroke without my arms, where I'm just like paddling my legs, 1648 01:49:47.039 --> 01:49:49.199 and that's really like my rest mode. So I really 1649 01:49:49.279 --> 01:49:51.840 don't ever stop for real, for real, but I consider 1650 01:49:51.920 --> 01:49:54.319 that to be the rest. And I want to reach 1651 01:49:54.359 --> 01:49:56.000 a point where I don't even have to do day. 1652 01:49:56.560 --> 01:49:59.439 I'm either front stroking a big stroking, front stroking a 1653 01:49:59.520 --> 01:49:59.960 big stroke. 1654 01:50:00.079 --> 01:50:00.680 Get pause. 1655 01:50:01.439 --> 01:50:06.119 Actually, I think there's a pause called for that. So 1656 01:50:06.239 --> 01:50:14.880 I did yoga this morning, and uh, he's about said 1657 01:50:15.000 --> 01:50:18.680 I have crazy upper body straight I do, though. 1658 01:50:24.520 --> 01:50:39.000 I actually do. I'm like really really strong. Oh my god. 1659 01:50:40.560 --> 01:50:50.560 All right, Nick attack, let's get into this video. I've 1660 01:50:50.560 --> 01:50:55.199 been trying to show y'all my gay A had been 1661 01:50:55.359 --> 01:50:57.800 a very prim and proper Negro. However, and where do 1662 01:50:57.920 --> 01:50:58.520 we go from here? 1663 01:50:58.640 --> 01:50:59.800 Community or chaos? 1664 01:51:00.640 --> 01:51:03.600 The last book he wrote before being assassinated on that 1665 01:51:03.760 --> 01:51:08.000 fateful balcony in Memphis, Tennessee. He laments that, a year 1666 01:51:08.199 --> 01:51:12.199 after the Boden Rights Act had passed, though the law changed, 1667 01:51:12.800 --> 01:51:13.800 the American. 1668 01:51:13.479 --> 01:51:15.920 Sentiment toward the Negro had not. 1669 01:51:17.399 --> 01:51:20.640 This was the burning house that MLK Junior feared he'd 1670 01:51:20.640 --> 01:51:24.640 integrated his people into. We're so often sold a version 1671 01:51:24.720 --> 01:51:27.880 of doctor King that is palatable to the oppressor, one 1672 01:51:27.920 --> 01:51:32.439 that depicts him as like an obedient subject, passively asking 1673 01:51:33.159 --> 01:51:36.560 for their rights on bended knees like Pisa, all right, sir, 1674 01:51:37.439 --> 01:51:40.159 rather than forcefully demanding them when in actuality, he was 1675 01:51:40.199 --> 01:51:44.000 only twenty six at the start of the Montgomery Boycott, 1676 01:51:45.640 --> 01:51:47.439 and by his death he was thirty nine. You know 1677 01:51:47.520 --> 01:51:51.399 how much you changed and that amount of time, Like 1678 01:51:51.520 --> 01:51:57.640 I was dating drug dealers a twenty six, I still 1679 01:51:57.840 --> 01:52:06.760 was at thirty nine though MLK may have started seeking integration. 1680 01:52:07.039 --> 01:52:13.720 He eventually saw through the guys and understood that it 1681 01:52:13.880 --> 01:52:19.239 was capitalism that was allowing racism to subsist. He began 1682 01:52:19.359 --> 01:52:23.640 to support the labor unions. He questioned government allocation of resources. 1683 01:52:24.479 --> 01:52:27.960 He advocated for reparations where we cut in the check. 1684 01:52:28.279 --> 01:52:31.079 It was after all of this when he had evolved 1685 01:52:31.079 --> 01:52:33.439 into Martin Luther, the King. 1686 01:52:35.319 --> 01:52:37.960 That this nation thought to be rid of him. 1687 01:52:40.479 --> 01:52:41.800 I want you to know that you can check out 1688 01:52:41.840 --> 01:52:44.399 the full two and a half hour show, but heading 1689 01:52:44.439 --> 01:52:47.960 on over to Patreon Amanda Seals.

Is that what 1707 01:53:50.840 --> 01:53:51.079 it is? 1708 01:53:51.159 --> 01:53:51.560 Denise? 1709 01:53:51.920 --> 01:54:04.399 The no fear, their confidence, no, the dealing JURYM I mean. 1710 01:54:06.119 --> 01:54:15.880 That's what it is, Emma. Anti establishment. Yeah, it's very that. 1711 01:54:19.560 --> 01:54:25.880 It's very anti establishment. It's actually not anti capitalists. Drug 1712 01:54:25.920 --> 01:54:31.840 dealers are the most capitalists, but they're anti establishment capitalists. 1713 01:54:31.840 --> 01:54:35.720 They're like, I'm gonna get it without I'm gonna get 1714 01:54:35.800 --> 01:54:39.000 it from you, but not boy like for you. 1715 01:54:39.520 --> 01:54:43.560 Does that I don't know. There's the rebel element of it. Nay, 1716 01:54:45.359 --> 01:54:45.840 I don't know. 1717 01:54:47.239 --> 01:54:50.920 They actually do answer to it. They answer to a 1718 01:54:50.960 --> 01:54:56.119 lot of folks, unless you dating like Chapo. They answer 1719 01:54:56.199 --> 01:54:59.439 into folks. Listen, they're answering with their lives, to be 1720 01:54:59.520 --> 01:55:11.199 quite on it. Yeah, so, and as Hamid said, it's 1721 01:55:12.840 --> 01:55:17.920 constant fear. But let's bring it back. That's really what 1722 01:55:18.039 --> 01:55:18.239 it is. 1723 01:55:23.079 --> 01:55:27.319 That's the swag. Yeah, it's the tims and the rugged demeanor. 1724 01:55:30.880 --> 01:55:36.239 I don't know, Jack now brought it back for us. 1725 01:55:36.920 --> 01:55:46.640 If they're not answering, they're already in trouble. Okay, man, listen, well, 1726 01:55:46.640 --> 01:55:48.720 Buddha girl, let me expound upon that. It's not that 1727 01:55:48.800 --> 01:55:50.600 the United States has always been in the drug game, 1728 01:55:50.640 --> 01:55:53.399 but the Zionists have always been in the drug game, 1729 01:55:53.600 --> 01:55:55.840 because the English have always been in the drug game, 1730 01:55:55.960 --> 01:56:01.960 because Honey child, they was peddling that opium, okay, and 1731 01:56:02.760 --> 01:56:04.640 then when they wasn't doing it with China, they was 1732 01:56:04.680 --> 01:56:07.800 doing it with Afghanistan, with the US. So the drug 1733 01:56:07.880 --> 01:56:13.039 game always been on one, all right. And I just 1734 01:56:13.159 --> 01:56:15.720 think that when a lot of to bring this all 1735 01:56:15.800 --> 01:56:21.800 back to MLK. So doctor Martin Luther King, like I said, 1736 01:56:21.920 --> 01:56:23.840 was twenty six and then thirty nine, and by the 1737 01:56:23.960 --> 01:56:29.000 end of his life he was speaking very differently, okay. 1738 01:56:30.000 --> 01:56:34.479 Willingness to give the white peasants from Europe and economic base, 1739 01:56:35.119 --> 01:56:38.720 and yet it refused to give its black peasants from Africa, 1740 01:56:38.800 --> 01:56:42.880 who came here involuntarily in chains and had worked free 1741 01:56:43.000 --> 01:56:45.560 for two hundred and forty four years any kind of 1742 01:56:45.680 --> 01:56:49.560 economic base. And so emancipation for the Negro was really 1743 01:56:49.680 --> 01:56:52.840 freedom to hunger. It was freedom to the winds and 1744 01:56:53.000 --> 01:56:55.560 rains of heaven. It was freedom without food to eat 1745 01:56:55.640 --> 01:56:58.439 or land to cultivate, and therefore it was freedom and famine. 1746 01:56:58.439 --> 01:57:01.680 At the same time, when white Americans tell the Negro 1747 01:57:01.920 --> 01:57:06.439 to lift himself by his own bootstraps, they don't look 1748 01:57:06.520 --> 01:57:10.840 over the legacy of slaver and segregation. I believe we 1749 01:57:10.920 --> 01:57:14.000 ought to do all we can and seek to lift 1750 01:57:14.079 --> 01:57:17.800 ourselves by on bootstraps. But it's a cruel jest to 1751 01:57:17.920 --> 01:57:20.199 say to a bootless man that he ought to lift 1752 01:57:20.319 --> 01:57:23.319 himself by his on bootstraps. And many Negroes, by the 1753 01:57:23.439 --> 01:57:27.479 thousands and millions, have been left bootless as a result 1754 01:57:27.640 --> 01:57:29.479 of all of these years of oppression. 1755 01:57:29.560 --> 01:57:33.680 And as now, this was not a speech Adrian, it 1756 01:57:33.760 --> 01:57:37.680 was an interview that he did with a reporter. So 1757 01:57:38.159 --> 01:57:42.119 doctor Martin Luther King and Malcolm X people have pitted 1758 01:57:42.319 --> 01:57:45.479 against each other by nature of of course, this idea 1759 01:57:45.560 --> 01:57:48.479 that you can only exist one way. However, I want 1760 01:57:48.560 --> 01:57:50.840 to bring something to your attention that you may not 1761 01:57:50.920 --> 01:57:56.880 have thought about. When Malcolm X entered the movement, he 1762 01:57:57.039 --> 01:58:02.239 had already lived an entire life. He had been Detroit Red, 1763 01:58:03.039 --> 01:58:05.920 he went to prison, and when he was Detroit Red 1764 01:58:06.319 --> 01:58:09.640 living in Boston, he was in the underworld, and he 1765 01:58:09.920 --> 01:58:14.199 saw the darkness of the world. He saw how dark 1766 01:58:14.279 --> 01:58:18.920 it can get. He saw evil face to face. His 1767 01:58:19.199 --> 01:58:23.560 father was killed by the clan. His mother was then 1768 01:58:23.720 --> 01:58:29.960 rendered insane and taken away from him. He had already 1769 01:58:30.520 --> 01:58:39.840 experienced darkness beyond theory, beyond allegory, but within his actual bones. 1770 01:58:41.239 --> 01:58:45.039 And thus, when he was brought to the light via 1771 01:58:45.920 --> 01:58:50.520 the study of the Nation of Islam and entered into 1772 01:58:50.640 --> 01:58:55.319 the movement, he was carrying with him an intrinsic knowledge 1773 01:58:55.399 --> 01:58:59.600 that came to meet his theory, and those two things 1774 01:58:59.680 --> 01:59:03.520 mary each other and created the person that we came 1775 01:59:03.680 --> 01:59:09.000 to love and respect. When we meet Martin Luther King Junior, 1776 01:59:09.800 --> 01:59:14.640 he has not met darkness at that level yet. When 1777 01:59:14.680 --> 01:59:17.359 we meet doctor Martin Luther King Junior, he is coming 1778 01:59:17.520 --> 01:59:22.239 from a preserved community of blackness, where his father is 1779 01:59:22.720 --> 01:59:27.000 the Reverend Martin Luther King Junior, and is a known 1780 01:59:27.640 --> 01:59:30.680 person in the community for leadership. Now, yes, of course 1781 01:59:30.760 --> 01:59:34.319 there is racism. Of course there is Jim Crow, don't 1782 01:59:34.359 --> 01:59:39.439 get me wrong. However, there is still a very h 1783 01:59:41.640 --> 01:59:46.399 there's a limited life experience to align with the allegory. 1784 01:59:45.960 --> 01:59:48.600 That he's learning from his theology studies. 1785 01:59:48.840 --> 01:59:53.119 And then he goes and he sees the world, and 1786 01:59:53.319 --> 01:59:56.880 then he goes and he goes in front of the actual. 1787 01:59:57.039 --> 01:59:59.439 Hate and race on a whole other level, and he 1788 01:59:59.600 --> 02:00:01.319 is j and he is beaten. 1789 02:00:01.680 --> 02:00:03.920 He has seen people that he knows to be good 1790 02:00:04.000 --> 02:00:08.079 people murdered, and he starts to witness the darkness that 1791 02:00:08.279 --> 02:00:11.920 Malcolm already had in his own life. And so by 1792 02:00:12.000 --> 02:00:15.800 the time he gets to thirty nine, he has the 1793 02:00:16.000 --> 02:00:21.319 same wisdom. And Malcolm, by the time he's assassinated, has 1794 02:00:21.439 --> 02:00:25.039 gone and seen the world and now has the ability 1795 02:00:25.159 --> 02:00:30.680 to understand, oh, there is kindness beyond our blackness, and 1796 02:00:30.840 --> 02:00:33.920 we need to come together as a global understanding. And 1797 02:00:34.159 --> 02:00:37.600 now they are actually in alignment, and that would have 1798 02:00:37.840 --> 02:00:40.600 been an incredible force. 1799 02:00:42.760 --> 02:00:45.199 For all of us, and that is why they were 1800 02:00:45.239 --> 02:00:46.159 removed from this earth. 1801 02:00:50.640 --> 02:00:54.199 Once you are able to align your experience and your 1802 02:00:54.319 --> 02:01:02.199 theory and allegory, you come into awakening. That is why 1803 02:01:02.479 --> 02:01:04.840 it is important to travel, That is why it is 1804 02:01:04.960 --> 02:01:10.479 important to have people around you that have different perspectives, 1805 02:01:11.439 --> 02:01:13.800 and that is why it is important to challenge yourself 1806 02:01:13.880 --> 02:01:19.720 to go into spaces of uncomfortability, to stretch you, to 1807 02:01:19.880 --> 02:01:34.520 let yoursels manifest in different environments. And we see this 1808 02:01:34.800 --> 02:01:38.920 doctor King in his book The Last One Before he passed. 1809 02:01:39.760 --> 02:01:44.119 Where do we go from here? Chaos or community? This 1810 02:01:45.039 --> 02:01:45.840 is the book. 1811 02:01:47.720 --> 02:01:53.439 This is what he should be remembered by, not simply 1812 02:01:53.520 --> 02:01:59.840 by his dreams, but by his revelation, because the dream 1813 02:02:00.439 --> 02:02:01.000 was the speech. 1814 02:02:01.680 --> 02:02:06.399 This book right here is the revelation. It's the understanding. 1815 02:02:08.399 --> 02:02:10.479 That's where we want to meet people at Like, don't 1816 02:02:10.479 --> 02:02:12.600 talk to me about what I was saying four years ago, 1817 02:02:13.079 --> 02:02:19.439 because I'm in the revelation phase, and that's where you 1818 02:02:19.479 --> 02:02:23.199 want to meet people, that's where you want to come 1819 02:02:23.279 --> 02:02:27.439 together with them. A lot of folks are not in 1820 02:02:27.600 --> 02:02:31.520 the revelation phase, but they got a lot to say. 1821 02:02:34.159 --> 02:02:36.119 And that's why I don't want to talk to them. 1822 02:02:36.159 --> 02:02:38.079 People I want to talk. I don't want to talk 1823 02:02:38.159 --> 02:02:39.960 with them. I want to talk to them if they 1824 02:02:40.039 --> 02:02:45.199 want to hear me. I've heard it phrased as butterflies 1825 02:02:45.279 --> 02:02:59.720 talking to caterpillars, and you can tell the difference. Now, listen, 1826 02:03:00.399 --> 02:03:02.600 just because you're a caterpillar don't mean that you ain't trying. 1827 02:03:02.439 --> 02:03:07.359 To become a butterfly. And that is when you are 1828 02:03:09.000 --> 02:03:16.359 just consuming knowledge because you know there's somewhere else for 1829 02:03:16.439 --> 02:03:32.199 you to go. So I feel like it's just. 1830 02:03:33.800 --> 02:03:39.680 Important, important to not have those who have spoken for 1831 02:03:39.880 --> 02:03:42.800 us and lived before us be presented to us by 1832 02:03:42.840 --> 02:03:48.640 those who don't even want us to live. Okay, as 1833 02:03:48.720 --> 02:03:55.399 we are living, I want us to find methods and 1834 02:03:55.560 --> 02:04:00.039 ways to manage the world that we are in. And 1835 02:04:00.159 --> 02:04:06.359 so we're gonna get into our level us up posthumous 1836 02:04:06.439 --> 02:04:24.800 guest for the day are So today's level us of 1837 02:04:24.960 --> 02:04:29.439 guests is a posthumous appearance by the great Late Dick Gregory. 1838 02:04:31.720 --> 02:04:32.359 And you're coming on. 1839 02:04:32.840 --> 02:04:35.079 When you laughing, and if you didn't do nothing but there, 1840 02:04:35.079 --> 02:04:38.640 sit in the mirror for four hours once a week and. 1841 02:04:38.720 --> 02:04:40.600 Did that, healing starts. 1842 02:04:41.520 --> 02:04:42.319 Healing starts. 1843 02:04:42.840 --> 02:04:47.640 You see, when I laugh, I use certain muscles, and 1844 02:04:47.760 --> 02:04:51.920 those muscles pinch certain nerves, and those nerves trigger are 1845 02:04:52.079 --> 02:04:55.600 all that's dropped into my body that keeps me younger. 1846 02:04:56.159 --> 02:04:59.560 When I frown and tightened up, I use certain muscles 1847 02:04:59.600 --> 02:05:02.720 and those muscles pin certain nerve that drops a gas 1848 02:05:02.840 --> 02:05:07.039 into my body that will destroy the sales structure. 1849 02:05:08.399 --> 02:05:11.439 So we are gonna do a smiling exercise. 1850 02:05:11.479 --> 02:05:13.720 We're not gonna meditate for fifteen minutes, but we gonna 1851 02:05:13.760 --> 02:05:16.479 smile for five minutes, well three minutes, because five minutes 1852 02:05:16.520 --> 02:05:17.199 is a really long time. 1853 02:05:17.880 --> 02:05:24.079 All right, everybody, let's get our smiles going. Hey, hey, hey, hey, 1854 02:05:25.079 --> 02:05:25.520 all right. 1855 02:05:26.640 --> 02:05:30.640 Now, I want you in the comments to give me 1856 02:05:31.760 --> 02:05:35.680 things that make you smile. I'll tell y'all things that 1857 02:05:35.800 --> 02:05:41.399 make me smile, Seals make me smile, things that make 1858 02:05:41.479 --> 02:05:46.239 me smile. Cars on don'ts, I love a vehicle on don'ts, 1859 02:05:46.439 --> 02:05:50.319 things that make me smile, videos of people falling. I know, 1860 02:05:51.000 --> 02:05:54.640 I know. And while you're doing this, wherever you are, 1861 02:05:54.680 --> 02:05:57.720 I hope you're smiling, y'all. I hope you're smiling, y'all. 1862 02:05:58.760 --> 02:06:02.000 Cats can't definitely make me smile. 1863 02:06:02.600 --> 02:06:06.960 Sunsets. Okay, that's one. 1864 02:06:06.880 --> 02:06:07.640 Minute down, y'all. 1865 02:06:07.720 --> 02:06:11.720 We got two minutes to go standing up for marginalize people. 1866 02:06:11.960 --> 02:06:14.039 I love it. Elephants make me smile. 1867 02:06:16.920 --> 02:06:20.520 Since it as we're smiling, we're moving, we're letting that 1868 02:06:20.680 --> 02:06:23.720 oil drop into our body. We're using those facial muscles 1869 02:06:23.760 --> 02:06:27.560 that he talked about. Now, I want you to remember, 1870 02:06:28.920 --> 02:06:33.279 sometimes bad things happened, and we are in a world 1871 02:06:33.359 --> 02:06:35.600 where bad things are happening all the time. 1872 02:06:36.680 --> 02:06:40.960 But we can still use smiling as. 1873 02:06:40.800 --> 02:06:45.159 An exercise in the same way as yoga, even if 1874 02:06:45.199 --> 02:06:50.520 it's not attached to our joy. That's why it is 1875 02:06:50.680 --> 02:06:55.680 so important to understand the body. So when we think 1876 02:06:55.760 --> 02:07:00.720 of things that may upset us, we can also challenge 1877 02:07:00.840 --> 02:07:05.359 how we respond to those things by how we move 1878 02:07:05.479 --> 02:07:08.920 our bodies. Now, I'm not saying that you need to 1879 02:07:09.079 --> 02:07:12.600 smile at those things, but what I am saying is 1880 02:07:12.680 --> 02:07:18.520 that you can create the practice of moving beyond those. 1881 02:07:18.399 --> 02:07:21.760 Things into that which makes you smile. 1882 02:07:22.600 --> 02:07:26.399 So when I would be recording and shooting for hours 1883 02:07:26.439 --> 02:07:29.239 on end, one more minute, y'all, for hours on end, 1884 02:07:29.880 --> 02:07:32.159 and I would need to keep up like this, Hey, 1885 02:07:33.199 --> 02:07:37.399 I'm Amanda Seals. Let's get into the next guest, I 1886 02:07:37.439 --> 02:07:41.640 would have to use some devices to bring this smile 1887 02:07:41.920 --> 02:07:46.000 back to my face. And so mine was kittens and koalas, 1888 02:07:46.159 --> 02:07:49.520 kittens and koalas. That became a mantra for the smile, 1889 02:07:49.960 --> 02:07:53.560 kittens and kowalas, kittens and koalas, Because no matter how 1890 02:07:53.880 --> 02:07:57.920 tired I am, no matter how frustrated. 1891 02:07:57.279 --> 02:08:00.199 I am, no matter how sad I am I am, 1892 02:08:01.039 --> 02:08:02.399 the thought of. 1893 02:08:02.560 --> 02:08:06.640 Kittens and koalas kittens and kowalas kittens and koalas smiles 1894 02:08:06.640 --> 02:08:09.319 on my face. I said, kittens and koalas kittens and 1895 02:08:09.399 --> 02:08:12.199 koalas kittens and smiles on my face. 1896 02:08:12.279 --> 02:08:16.399 I said, hey, hey, all right, we got thirty more seconds. 1897 02:08:16.439 --> 02:08:18.479 Come on, y'all, smile it up. 1898 02:08:19.520 --> 02:08:21.000 Smiles, smiles it up. 1899 02:08:21.880 --> 02:08:23.560 Yeah yeah yeah, smile it up. 1900 02:08:25.279 --> 02:08:27.800 Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. 1901 02:08:28.159 --> 02:08:35.399 Good job, good job. 1902 02:08:38.800 --> 02:08:44.840 So remember that as a tool. Remember your body as 1903 02:08:44.880 --> 02:08:49.159 a tool for challenging the effort to bring you into misery. 1904 02:08:50.319 --> 02:08:54.319 Don't don't let this be something to tell you that 1905 02:08:54.439 --> 02:09:00.000 you can't have grief. Yes, however, the dopamine gets unlicked 1906 02:09:00.479 --> 02:09:06.439 because of you. You have chemicals in your body that 1907 02:09:06.600 --> 02:09:09.680 get unlocked, and sometimes our bodies don't produce those chemicals 1908 02:09:09.760 --> 02:09:11.399 at the level that we need you, and then we 1909 02:09:11.520 --> 02:09:15.159 have to get medication, or we have to eat different food, 1910 02:09:15.279 --> 02:09:16.640 or we may have to do a. 1911 02:09:16.680 --> 02:09:17.439 Little bit more. 1912 02:09:17.760 --> 02:09:20.920 You may need five minutes of smiling, but if you 1913 02:09:21.239 --> 02:09:25.520 can try to give yourself three minutes of smile therapy 1914 02:09:25.800 --> 02:09:32.239 every day, and I mean legit smile therapy every day. 1915 02:09:32.760 --> 02:09:35.920 I will tell you when I was going through a depression, 1916 02:09:36.920 --> 02:09:40.520 I learned about this and it saved me. 1917 02:09:42.560 --> 02:09:47.800 It saved me because when you fake smile, you start laughing, 1918 02:09:47.920 --> 02:09:49.760 because the fake smile of self is funny. 1919 02:09:55.039 --> 02:10:02.279 You start cracking up at yourself fake smiling. Okay, you 1920 02:10:02.439 --> 02:10:04.000 mean the merry life. 1921 02:10:08.399 --> 02:10:11.279 So I want to give you all on this program 1922 02:10:11.960 --> 02:10:18.880 ways in which you can genuinely and authentically address the 1923 02:10:19.000 --> 02:10:22.399 system that is trying to keep you down. Sometimes that 1924 02:10:22.560 --> 02:10:26.079 may be something physically in your body. Sometimes it might 1925 02:10:26.159 --> 02:10:29.800 be something spiritual and mental and metaphysical, and sometimes it 1926 02:10:29.960 --> 02:10:35.119 might be something actually tangibly radical. Nonetheless, that is what 1927 02:10:35.279 --> 02:10:40.119 I consider to be a very very necessary aspect of. 1928 02:10:40.199 --> 02:10:44.560 Where we're going, if we're going to keep going, you 1929 02:10:44.760 --> 02:11:01.039 feel me ts So this week there's been a lot 1930 02:11:01.079 --> 02:11:01.760 of chatter. 1931 02:11:03.079 --> 02:11:06.479 About the use of the Black Panther name by a 1932 02:11:06.560 --> 02:11:09.720 group in Philadelphia. We talked about it on the show 1933 02:11:09.840 --> 02:11:12.640 last week, and we were all very excited. By the 1934 02:11:12.800 --> 02:11:15.199 end of the day, I had spoken to the brother 1935 02:11:16.039 --> 02:11:21.600 who was in the videos, and he I offered to 1936 02:11:21.920 --> 02:11:26.199 come through when I'm in Philadelphia. He said that basically 1937 02:11:26.359 --> 02:11:29.800 he's from Lansing, Michigan, and that he is who they 1938 02:11:29.920 --> 02:11:32.800 send out to start chapters for the Black Panther Party. 1939 02:11:33.600 --> 02:11:36.199 And he said that he. 1940 02:11:38.119 --> 02:11:38.159 Is. 1941 02:11:38.560 --> 02:11:41.520 I asked them, what would you what are What is 1942 02:11:41.560 --> 02:11:43.640 a lesson that you all have learned this go round 1943 02:11:44.760 --> 02:11:48.960 that you are applying. No, I said, what is a 1944 02:11:49.039 --> 02:11:52.960 lesson that you have learned from the past Panthers that 1945 02:11:53.039 --> 02:11:56.640 you are applying to the present. And he said, well, 1946 02:11:56.760 --> 02:12:01.720 our recruitment takes longer. And you know, by the end 1947 02:12:01.760 --> 02:12:04.760 of this conversation, what I had gathered was information, And 1948 02:12:04.920 --> 02:12:08.079 for me, I'm showing up to the conversation with a 1949 02:12:08.199 --> 02:12:10.920 blank slate. So I'm going to show up in kindness, 1950 02:12:10.920 --> 02:12:13.239 and I'm going to show up in openness. And you know, 1951 02:12:13.359 --> 02:12:16.359 I also thought that they were legitimate, so I'm showing 1952 02:12:16.479 --> 02:12:19.760 up with the respect. 1953 02:12:20.199 --> 02:12:26.439 That they are the Panthers. I then slept on it, and. 1954 02:12:28.720 --> 02:12:33.039 By the next day, my intuition started to say, actually, no, 1955 02:12:33.159 --> 02:12:35.039 that night, my intuition started to say that I couldn't 1956 02:12:35.039 --> 02:12:37.960 even sleep, and then I forced myself to go to sleep. 1957 02:12:38.439 --> 02:12:42.039 The next day, communication started coming to me that I 1958 02:12:42.119 --> 02:12:46.159 hadn't even reached out for, and it was letting me 1959 02:12:46.319 --> 02:12:48.520 know that he had not been co signed by the 1960 02:12:48.600 --> 02:12:52.479 Panthers as a collective, but by an individual panther in Seattle, 1961 02:12:53.319 --> 02:12:56.840 and that that panther had given him permission to use 1962 02:12:56.960 --> 02:13:02.560 the panther's name and use their likeness in the work 1963 02:13:02.640 --> 02:13:03.279 that he's doing. 1964 02:13:04.239 --> 02:13:04.399 Now. 1965 02:13:04.760 --> 02:13:07.079 It's not to say that he hasn't done activism work 1966 02:13:07.119 --> 02:13:09.560 in the past. It's not to say that they haven't 1967 02:13:10.119 --> 02:13:13.039 passed out food. However, what I want to bring to 1968 02:13:13.159 --> 02:13:17.960 our attention in this particular moment is the use of 1969 02:13:18.079 --> 02:13:25.520 a trusted name, when what I want to bring to 1970 02:13:25.560 --> 02:13:29.800 attention in this moment is the responsibility of using a 1971 02:13:30.000 --> 02:13:39.479 trusted name. There is incredible weight attached to the Black 1972 02:13:39.600 --> 02:13:47.119 Panther name and movement, because the Black Panthers were the largest, 1973 02:13:47.279 --> 02:13:50.600 most organized resistance movement in this nation. 1974 02:13:50.880 --> 02:13:53.800 To ever get them shooken up so much so that 1975 02:13:53.960 --> 02:13:56.920 they put forth great effort. 1976 02:13:58.159 --> 02:14:05.319 To disseminate them, to incriminate them, to exile them, to 1977 02:14:05.760 --> 02:14:10.199 incarcerate them. They became prisoners of wars in this nation. 1978 02:14:11.359 --> 02:14:14.239 So to lead with the. 1979 02:14:14.319 --> 02:14:22.279 Black Panthers as your mantle carries something very big. It 1980 02:14:22.439 --> 02:14:24.439 is not something to be used lightly. It is not 1981 02:14:24.640 --> 02:14:29.880 pop culture. Seeing Beyonce have you know dancers dressed as 1982 02:14:29.920 --> 02:14:34.279 Black Panthers in the NFL, that is a pop culture rendering. 1983 02:14:34.680 --> 02:14:37.039 The Black Panthers are not pop culture. 1984 02:14:38.880 --> 02:14:42.560 People like Swiss Beats and Alicia Keys dressing up as 1985 02:14:42.600 --> 02:14:46.199 Black Panthers for Halloween is a pop culture rendering. The 1986 02:14:46.359 --> 02:14:55.800 Black Panther Party is not pop culture. It is resistance. 1987 02:14:57.319 --> 02:15:03.880 It is a revolutionary movement, a socialist, Marxist Leninist organization 1988 02:15:04.560 --> 02:15:08.359 that was created for the protection and advancement of black 1989 02:15:08.439 --> 02:15:13.880 people as well as calling for the end of oppression 1990 02:15:14.079 --> 02:15:21.520 of all oppressed peoples. Therefore, we cannot simply just take 1991 02:15:21.600 --> 02:15:25.920 whenever anybody calls themselves a black Panther as just bar none, 1992 02:15:26.800 --> 02:15:29.600 because we also have to understand that this nation has 1993 02:15:29.680 --> 02:15:35.239 a history of using black bodies to start and to 1994 02:15:35.439 --> 02:15:37.079 wage their wars. 1995 02:15:38.239 --> 02:15:41.479 And there is a war on the horizon. 1996 02:15:42.880 --> 02:15:45.920 When you're seeing all the geopolitical movements that are happening 1997 02:15:46.000 --> 02:15:48.159 around in the United States, is at the center of 1998 02:15:48.239 --> 02:15:50.520 all of them, you better believe it'll be at the 1999 02:15:50.600 --> 02:15:55.960 center of the war on the horizon. And who will 2000 02:15:56.000 --> 02:15:59.680 be out there first? Well, they're incarcerating and deporting all 2001 02:15:59.720 --> 02:16:03.720 of the round people. So who do you think they're 2002 02:16:03.760 --> 02:16:08.600 trying to get out there to be used to co 2003 02:16:08.840 --> 02:16:12.840 opt for their regime change. 2004 02:16:14.279 --> 02:16:20.760 Yes, it will be us. Listen. The history is long. 2005 02:16:22.159 --> 02:16:28.680 Haitians, specifically the Chazieu Volantel de Saint Domin were a 2006 02:16:28.800 --> 02:16:32.920 regiment of free men of color that fought alongside American 2007 02:16:33.479 --> 02:16:36.200 and French forces the ninth in the seventeen seventy nine 2008 02:16:36.239 --> 02:16:38.440 Siege of Savannah during the American Revolution. 2009 02:16:40.559 --> 02:16:43.719 They were there. We know about the black folks in 2010 02:16:43.760 --> 02:16:48.040 the Civil War. We know that they then made slavery 2011 02:16:49.920 --> 02:16:50.399 about it. 2012 02:16:50.760 --> 02:16:54.719 They made slavery unlawful in the rebel States only remember 2013 02:16:54.799 --> 02:16:56.360 this in the rebel States, only. 2014 02:16:57.799 --> 02:17:02.879 So that they would garner the force of black freed. 2015 02:17:02.719 --> 02:17:08.600 Slaves joining the Union, sorry, black runaway slaves joining the 2016 02:17:08.760 --> 02:17:10.440 Union for their freedom. 2017 02:17:12.280 --> 02:17:17.479 It was still legal in places like Ohio and Kentucky. 2018 02:17:19.000 --> 02:17:22.120 Is it Kentucky or Missouri? It was still legal. 2019 02:17:24.040 --> 02:17:27.319 However, they made the rebel States no longer lawful in 2020 02:17:27.440 --> 02:17:31.159 slavery so that the black folks that were there would 2021 02:17:31.200 --> 02:17:38.440 feel compelled to risk their lives to escape and put 2022 02:17:38.520 --> 02:17:43.719 their lives on the line to attain freedom. There is 2023 02:17:43.799 --> 02:17:48.600 a history of using black bodies to fight the wars 2024 02:17:48.760 --> 02:17:56.840 in the United States. There is a war coming and 2025 02:17:57.000 --> 02:17:59.920 there is an attempt to use black bodies. It will happen, 2026 02:18:01.399 --> 02:18:05.120 and we have to be incredibly vigilant. At some point 2027 02:18:06.239 --> 02:18:10.879 we have to learn. So when I see a brother 2028 02:18:11.040 --> 02:18:17.399 out there dressed in the costume of a black panther, however, 2029 02:18:17.600 --> 02:18:23.079 not being co signed by chairman fred Hampton Junior or 2030 02:18:23.200 --> 02:18:27.840 by Fredrika Newton Willie, I mean Huey P. Newton's wife, 2031 02:18:28.319 --> 02:18:30.879 who is still alive and was in my comment section 2032 02:18:31.079 --> 02:18:32.799 saying thank you for posting this. 2033 02:18:34.799 --> 02:18:40.079 No, when I see that my Yesha Newton, Huey P. 2034 02:18:40.239 --> 02:18:44.760 Newton's niece, is literally taking legal action. 2035 02:18:46.040 --> 02:18:50.719 Against this individual's set up because she's claiming that this 2036 02:18:50.959 --> 02:18:57.399 is a possibility for defamation, I say we have to 2037 02:18:57.600 --> 02:19:03.360 do this type of vigilance because we are consistently under. 2038 02:19:03.200 --> 02:19:09.440 A psyop that studies us. Do you know that they 2039 02:19:09.559 --> 02:19:11.959 study us, They know what we like, they know what 2040 02:19:12.079 --> 02:19:17.040 we trust, and they use it. 2041 02:19:19.040 --> 02:19:19.719 To use us. 2042 02:19:21.680 --> 02:19:25.920 So, no, you can't be out here just throwing chairman 2043 02:19:26.000 --> 02:19:29.040 in front of your name and throwing a beret on 2044 02:19:29.120 --> 02:19:33.200 your head and talking about where the Black Panthers. You 2045 02:19:33.360 --> 02:19:37.799 can do the work you're doing without using a name 2046 02:19:38.799 --> 02:19:43.760 that hasn't been given to you through the access of 2047 02:19:43.840 --> 02:19:48.360 the entire national organization. One Black Panther in Seattle cannot 2048 02:19:48.440 --> 02:19:54.319 give this brother the credibility of the entire legacy of 2049 02:19:54.440 --> 02:20:01.120 the Black Panther Party. And let me also a that 2050 02:20:01.239 --> 02:20:04.360 when people were saying, well you should talk to him directly. 2051 02:20:05.000 --> 02:20:07.600 I did talk to him directly, and then when I 2052 02:20:07.719 --> 02:20:11.200 posted that video, he sent me DMS saying that I 2053 02:20:11.440 --> 02:20:14.079 was two faced because I was nice when I spoke 2054 02:20:14.159 --> 02:20:16.760 to him, but then I was bad mouthing him on 2055 02:20:16.840 --> 02:20:19.719 the internet. And what I want to tell y'all is 2056 02:20:19.799 --> 02:20:23.239 that everyone should be nice when they speak to you 2057 02:20:23.479 --> 02:20:28.799 the first time, because they don't know what you really own. However, 2058 02:20:29.040 --> 02:20:33.159 if from the time they spoke to you, they then 2059 02:20:33.280 --> 02:20:37.360 learned that you own some bullshit, they have every right 2060 02:20:38.000 --> 02:20:42.639 to speak truth to that, versus owing you some level 2061 02:20:42.719 --> 02:20:45.959 of protection and cover that you are no longer deserving of. 2062 02:20:47.600 --> 02:21:06.120 Got me fucked up?
