Speaker 2: We ain't seen a Keisha Excel turbot with a satin

Speaker 2: Keep those pesky blacks in their place. Our bodies and
Speaker 2: minds have been colonized. Like every day that we fail
Speaker 2: to empathize, we are willfully being used as tools for.
Speaker 1: Our own demise.
Speaker 2: And anyone telling you that caring for others has been
Speaker 2: our weakness doesn't know what strength is. I am forever
Speaker 2: indebted to Palestine.

Speaker 2: country was engineered to be hateful, demonic.
Speaker 1: People, That's how.
Speaker 2: And the ones who are not are few and far between.
Speaker 2: And I have a whole theory that they're all neurodiversient.
Speaker 2: But that's another conversation for another time. Let's find out
Speaker 2: what our word of the day is.
Speaker 1: Bedlam.
Speaker 2: The word of the day is bedlam, bed la, m uproar, confusion.
Speaker 1: It is a noun.
Speaker 2: Okay, it is a noun, So let's write it in
Speaker 2: our log book while you all are writing sentences using
Speaker 2: the word bedlam, b ed l a M.
Speaker 1: It's a noun that means uproar, confusion.
Speaker 2: We're gonna be talking about how Minnesota has been stepping
Speaker 2: up the bedlam. Okay, Minnesota is stepping up the bedlam,
Speaker 2: and I'm so proud of them because I don't know
Speaker 2: about y'all, but a lot of people did not think
Speaker 2: that Minnesota had it in them, and I had to
Speaker 2: remind that Minnesota burned down a precinct. Okay, Minneapolis said, no,
Speaker 2: George Floyd was ours. You didn't get to take him
Speaker 2: like that. So uproar and bedlam. Liz g says, the
Speaker 2: entirety of you as domestic policy is bedlam.
Speaker 1: You know what's you know what's actually true? Though? Is
Speaker 1: that's not true.
Speaker 2: Whatever you think looks like chaos is organized confusion. Anytime
Speaker 2: you think it's not making sense, it's because they don't
Speaker 2: want you to think it makes sense. Trust me, The
Speaker 2: people who are at the hand at the helm, who
Speaker 2: are the powers that be, know exactly what the heck
Speaker 2: they're doing. And I don't know why I somehow know
Speaker 2: what they're doing too, because then that scares me because
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, am I one of them?
Speaker 2: But I mean, I do have massa in my system.
Speaker 2: It's just nothing I can do about it. Okay, there's
Speaker 2: nothing I can do about it. All right, let's see
Speaker 2: and Indigo Hand says it was bedlam in the dining
Speaker 2: room today with.
Speaker 1: Six cats and a ruckus.
Speaker 2: I understand, and I know about it.
Speaker 1: Jess says.
Speaker 2: My ADHD meds have been on back order for a
Speaker 2: month and my interior state could currently easily be described
Speaker 2: as bedlam. I'm so sorry about that, Jess. I hope
Speaker 2: they can get that together. That is very frustrating. Israel
Speaker 2: has some nerve running commercials with all the bedlam they
Speaker 2: calls around the world.
Speaker 1: Listen again, it's not Israel.
Speaker 2: It is a higher force at work that just uses
Speaker 2: Israel and the United States. The data courier says, etymologically,
Speaker 2: it is derived from the word Bethlehem.
Speaker 1: Really, but there was no room for a bed You
Speaker 1: get it, bedlam?
Speaker 2: No, okay, I tried, all right, last one, last one.
Speaker 2: Come on, y'all, give me one most sentence, Give me
Speaker 2: one most sentence.
Speaker 1: Give me one more, Give me one.
Speaker 2: Ma DJ blessed out in the d said, there is
Speaker 2: so much bedlam around the world.
Speaker 1: The small amounts of peace are appreciated.
Speaker 2: Well, since you asked for a small amount of piece
Speaker 2: before we bring our guests up, I'm gonna give all
Speaker 2: of us, including our guests, a small amount of joy
Speaker 2: because I just think this is this is the cutest
Speaker 2: thing I've seen in quite some time.
Speaker 4: Oh gooy, how you do it?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: One more time? What we're time? What we're time? Gay?
Speaker 1: How do you do it?
Speaker 2: This group?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 1: Baby?
Speaker 2: I love that little baby. Let's bring our guess up
Speaker 2: for blaggery news.
Speaker 1: Y'all bags.
Speaker 8: Bag Yes, welcome, Welcome back to the show, Doctor Malina
Speaker 8: Abdullah and Jon is.
Speaker 9: That from Jeanne.
Speaker 1: You don't gotta shake your head with it?
Speaker 2: I got you with you, goddamn said.
Speaker 1: It's early over here, but I'm rich.
Speaker 2: Janey Tyler, thank you all so much for joining us
Speaker 2: today to lift up Keith Porter.
Speaker 1: So I want to just give you all some background
Speaker 1: the audience.
Speaker 2: For those who don't know, Keith Porter Junior is a
Speaker 2: forty three year old and I like to speak about
Speaker 2: people in the present, even though they are no longer
Speaker 2: with us in the physical. Keith Porter Junior is a
Speaker 2: because the memory is still with us and his journey
Speaker 2: is not complete, is a hold on.
Speaker 1: I want a different picture.
Speaker 2: Father, a forty three year old father of two fatally
Speaker 2: shot by an ICE officer on New Year's Eve outside
Speaker 2: of his apartment complex. And this is according to LA
Speaker 2: federal officials, which means a cab and apparently what took place,
Speaker 2: according to them, is that gunshots are fired into the
Speaker 2: air and an ICE official came through. And there's no
Speaker 2: reason why any of this should have happened. So I
Speaker 2: don't really care to voice whatever they said, because whatever
Speaker 2: they said is a lie. So I would be more
Speaker 2: interested in hearing what has to be really amplified, which
Speaker 2: is coming from Jane and doctor Malina, who are working
Speaker 2: to bring the ICE agent to justice who committed this
Speaker 2: act of aggression and killing, and their entire existence is
Speaker 2: in unjust, so to see it go to this length
Speaker 2: is of course expected. And I don't think a lot
Speaker 2: of people knew about Keith Porter's killing because there was
Speaker 2: no video attached to it. And when they're in a
Speaker 2: good killing happened, you all really worked to bring Keith
Speaker 2: Porter's name and this story to the to oppression level
Speaker 2: in the media, because I know a lot of people
Speaker 2: really did not know. So let's continue that work. And
Speaker 2: Jane and doctor Malina, you have the floor.
Speaker 6: Sure, So miss Tyler, why don't you I call her
Speaker 6: Miss Tyler because she works at my kids school. She's
Speaker 6: my children's teacher counselor. And right now, okay, yet, but.
Speaker 1: Look at that window. That's a school windows, the gate
Speaker 1: on the back.
Speaker 6: Missus Tyler. One of the beautiful things is we were
Speaker 6: already in beloved community. Since she's talking about doctor King,
Speaker 6: we were already in beloved community. She's a part of
Speaker 6: the movement, a part of Black Lives Matter Los Angeles,
Speaker 6: a part of the Black Student Achievement Plan. And this
Speaker 6: was her cousin who was killed by this off duty
Speaker 6: ice agent whose name now know to be Brian Palacios.
Speaker 6: And so, Mss Tyler, why don't you start by telling
Speaker 6: your cousin's story.
Speaker 9: Yeah, who, I'm already heavy this morning.
Speaker 1: I apologize, ever apologize for that. So we'll help you,
Speaker 1: We'll carry you. Okay, thank you.
Speaker 9: My cousin was a loving, kind human being. He was
Speaker 9: the girl dad, father of two daughters. He was his
Speaker 9: mother's only son. And I know people are probably tired
Speaker 9: of hearing me use the word amazing, but that word
Speaker 9: actually applies to some people, and Keith was absolutely amazing.
Speaker 9: He brought joy wherever he went. He was always the
Speaker 9: one to uplift his people around him, even if you
Speaker 9: were a stranger, and telling of who he was, even
Speaker 9: the fact that he had only been in his apartment
Speaker 9: complex for eleven months and all of those people knew him,
Speaker 9: and it was a large complex. It's a large complex,
Speaker 9: and they all knew exactly who he was and all
Speaker 9: had good things to say about him, and that's who
Speaker 9: he's been since he was a little boy. You know.
Speaker 9: They really stole a black man off of this planet
Speaker 9: that had so much more to give, and he had
Speaker 9: so much more to give to his daughters and to
Speaker 9: his mother and to us as his family. And so
Speaker 9: on New Year's Eve, Keith was expecting some company and
Speaker 9: had sent his girlfriend out to get some food for
Speaker 9: the evening, and in the interim, you know, he heard
Speaker 9: people outside celebrating already, and he had just got licensed
Speaker 9: for a new rifle. And you know, I know people
Speaker 9: have varying opinions on shooting firearms in the air in
Speaker 9: a celebratory manner, but as it stands, that's what my
Speaker 9: cousin went outside to do he let off a few
Speaker 9: shots and one of his neighbors that happened to be
Speaker 9: an off duty Ice agent who was in his apartment
Speaker 9: doing who knows what.
Speaker 4: Brian Pelasios, who.
Speaker 9: We do now know for a fact, is a racist,
Speaker 9: is a child abuser, is homophobic, and so many other
Speaker 9: nasty things about himself, is the person that took it
Speaker 9: upon himself to leave his apartment, hunt through the apartment
Speaker 9: complex to find where he had heard the shots. Saw
Speaker 9: my cousin with his rifle, engaged him, and I know
Speaker 9: Keith disliked me. Probably you're you know, you're a stranger.
Speaker 9: Mind your own business. You know, he was no imminent
Speaker 9: threat to anyone else. He was actually in the process
Speaker 9: of returning to his home. And this officer went back inside,
Speaker 9: got his tactical gear, got fully dressed in his tactical gear,
Speaker 9: got his service pistol, ran back through the apartment complex,
Speaker 9: found my cousin and shot him dead. After he killed
Speaker 9: my cousin, the police response was horrendous. They came out
Speaker 9: at least about nine cars deep, is what the apartment
Speaker 9: complex tenants have said. And I was privileged to receive
Speaker 9: videos as well, they're out there in their tactical gear
Speaker 9: while my cousin's body is laying down there in the brain,
Speaker 9: and they're calling for Keith Porter to surrender or shelter
Speaker 9: in place. You cannot do both. First of all, that's oxymoronic.
Speaker 9: There was no medical aid rendered. We don't even know
Speaker 9: if he was already dead or on his last breath,
Speaker 9: and could have at least been saved charging for the
Speaker 9: unlawful firing in the air of a firearm. We would
Speaker 9: have much rather seen him catch a charge than to
Speaker 9: have left this earth after the fact. They never had
Speaker 9: this officer surrender his service pistol, They never did a
Speaker 9: sobriety check, they never took him in for proper interrogation.
Speaker 9: He went back into his home and went to sleep
Speaker 9: that night. And so from the beginning to the in
Speaker 9: there was no value placed on my cousin by this maniac,
Speaker 9: and there's been no value placed on his life by
Speaker 9: the police department, by d. A. Hopman, and by the
Speaker 9: people who are in position to actually arrest and convict
Speaker 9: this murderer. The only reason we know who he is
Speaker 9: now is because of current court filings and litigation naming
Speaker 9: him as an abuser, as a racist, and as the
Speaker 9: man that killed my cousin that night. The people who
Speaker 9: have witnessed what happened are scared for themselves and scared
Speaker 9: for their family because we're dealing with a fascist Trump regime, and.
Speaker 6: So here we are.
Speaker 9: We are doing our best to bring light to what
Speaker 9: has happened and to get our community and our elected
Speaker 9: officials to pressure Da Hakman to arrest this man, to
Speaker 9: press charge to prosecute him because he is nothing less
Speaker 9: than a murderer.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for sharing, and thank you all
Speaker 2: in the comments for being respectful. I removed the person
Speaker 2: who wasn't because they are a waste of space. I
Speaker 2: know that, doctor Malina, you sent me an image.
Speaker 1: Wait, I have it right here.
Speaker 2: Can you talk about the work that Black Lives Matter
Speaker 2: Grassroots is doing to rally around Keith Porter his family
Speaker 2: and bring justice.
Speaker 6: Sure, so I'll just uplift again that you know, Miss
Speaker 6: Tyler is a beloved member of our community.
Speaker 10: She is.
Speaker 6: You can hear it from her. She's just a treasure
Speaker 6: in this world. She every time I talk about her,
Speaker 6: I cry because she personally saved my middle daughter's life.
Speaker 6: That she my daughter was on track too. They had
Speaker 6: called police on her in school over and over and
Speaker 6: over again. And it's Miss Tyler who pulled themar into
Speaker 6: her fullest self. And it's Miss Tyler is the reason
Speaker 6: that Amara is now a standout college sophomore at Clark
Speaker 6: Atlanta University. So okay, So you know, building beloved community
Speaker 6: is so important, and so my heart breaks for Miss
Speaker 6: Tyler and also the entire Keith Porter family. You know,
Speaker 6: so many of us have children that didn't grow up
Speaker 6: with dads like Keith Porter. Keith Porter was a girl dad.
Speaker 6: Like when you hear his daughter, there's some really painful
Speaker 6: video that's baman, really painful video that's online of his
Speaker 6: older daughter. What we see happening, and Miss Tyler articulated
Speaker 6: it so well is a double murder of Keith Porter.
Speaker 6: So you know, we have demands that we want Brian
Speaker 6: Pelasio's named. He was named by community, not named by LAPD,
Speaker 6: not named by the DA, not named by any elected
Speaker 6: official who knew who he was because he gave a
Speaker 6: statement on that night, right so they could have named him.
Speaker 6: Then he wasn't arrested. That's our second demand that he'd
Speaker 6: be arrested. Third demand is that he'd be prosecuted. Fourth
Speaker 6: is that they quit with the character assassination. So instead
Speaker 6: of uplifting Keith, is this amazing human being that Miss
Speaker 6: Tyler laid him out to be. They called him an
Speaker 6: active shooter, they called him a suspect, and they touted
Speaker 6: the killer as a hero. So we got to be
Speaker 6: very clear that they have to quit with this process
Speaker 6: of double murder where they steal someone's life and then
Speaker 6: they assassinate their character, and then the last demand is
Speaker 6: abolish ice. This is a danger, not just to the
Speaker 6: people that they're snatching up in the streets. Ice is
Speaker 6: a clear and present danger. Even when they go home
Speaker 6: and are supposed to have their tactical gear off and
Speaker 6: their weapons down, they're still stealing the lives of black people.
Speaker 6: And so we've been in the streets doing memorials. We've
Speaker 6: had two in Los Angeles and I saw in the
Speaker 6: comments thank you for doing the memorial in Baltimore.
Speaker 1: I saw and all around the country.
Speaker 6: As they get Keith Porter's name, they're lifting him up.
Speaker 6: We need that spirit work. Please continue to do that.
Speaker 6: We're also though, demanding that LAPD arrest Brian Palasios, and
Speaker 6: so we have a petition TinyURL dot com slash sign
Speaker 6: for Keith. We're asking people to sign that petition and
Speaker 6: we intend to deliver it to the Chief of Police
Speaker 6: and the Police Commission next Tuesday. We're already at over
Speaker 6: twelve thousand signatures. Want that number to continue to go
Speaker 6: up so they can't act like nobody cares, and then
Speaker 6: we're protesting on Wednesdays. Today, we'll be protesting outside the
Speaker 6: District Attorney's office. Just days after Keith was killed, we
Speaker 6: were able to call the district Attorney, Nathan Hockman, who
Speaker 6: is an absolute fascist, call him into a community meeting
Speaker 6: and say we demand that Keith Porter be charged. He
Speaker 6: tried to act.
Speaker 1: Like one no, Brian Palasio.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm sorry, Brian Pelasio's be charged. We didn't know
Speaker 6: his name Keith Porter's killer, so then we didn't know
Speaker 6: his name. We asked that he'd be charged, and Nathan
Speaker 6: Hockman essentially said no, And so we're gonna make sure
Speaker 6: we're on his head until Brian Palasios is prosecuted, is charged.
Speaker 6: The DA in this county has been bought and paid
Speaker 6: for by police associations and by police special interests, and
Speaker 6: we're here to say that the peaceeople will demand justice,
Speaker 6: and we demand justice lastly, and then I'll be quiet.
Speaker 6: We also, okay, I want to be clear that it's
Speaker 6: we we mourn and rage for the murder of Renee
Speaker 6: good right, We more like it's terrible. It's terrible. I've
Speaker 6: shed real tears for her. She is who we need
Speaker 6: when we talk about accomplices for black freedom. Right, And
Speaker 6: nobody has said Keith Porter. Even here in Los Angeles,
Speaker 6: we have a so called black mayor who just finally
Speaker 6: uttered Keith Porter's name and said nothing.
Speaker 9: She appointed me, finally said his name and relegated him
Speaker 9: to one sentence, and then moved on.
Speaker 6: Thirty nineteen days after his killing. She said his name nineteen.
Speaker 2: There is a lady who there was fires and she
Speaker 2: was getting off the plane and they got none to say.
Speaker 2: She know not, got none to say about nothing unless
Speaker 2: it's gonna put something in her pockets.
Speaker 6: So she's running for reelection. No, yes, all, yes, So
Speaker 6: we should all remember that she's running for reelection. How
Speaker 6: dare any of these elected officials call themselves leaders. The
Speaker 6: only person who substantively has lifted up Keith Porter that
Speaker 6: I've seen is Ayana Presley all the way over in Boston. Yeah,
Speaker 6: she's the only elected who substantively lifted up Keith Porter's name.
Speaker 6: And so we need to make sure that these are
Speaker 6: not our leaders. If you can't fight for justice in
Speaker 6: your own city, I'm thinking about in la in your
Speaker 6: own city, if you can't fight for justice. Oh and
Speaker 6: we've had some non black elected officials. What's interesting is
Speaker 6: we have three black members of city Council. But it
Speaker 6: was our were brown comrade e Ony sis Hernandez that
Speaker 6: invited Keith Porters in Keith Porter's family and to open
Speaker 6: the session in his name. And so we're demanding that
Speaker 6: they make demands and say that we want justice in
Speaker 6: the name of Keith Porter.
Speaker 1: And so that's what's moving.
Speaker 6: For King Day, we got a spot in the parade
Speaker 6: and we turned the parade into a march and order
Speaker 6: and Ms. Tyler was on the mic half the day
Speaker 6: lifting up Keith Porter's name, and we said there will
Speaker 6: be no parades in King's name with a terrible DA
Speaker 6: and l a p D marching in a parade and
Speaker 6: Keith Porter relegated to quiet. So we made sure we
Speaker 6: weren't quiet. And we're grateful for the people the people
Speaker 6: of la and the people around the world world are
Speaker 6: starting to lift Keith Port.
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to add.
Speaker 2: I mean, the idea of political people being politicians being
Speaker 2: considered leaders was given to us, but not experienced by us.
Speaker 1: They've never been leaders.
Speaker 2: They are mouthpieces for the establishment and for a greater
Speaker 2: effort at suppression and repression. The leaders are folks like yourself,
Speaker 2: Doctor Malina, myself and Mssus Tyler, because ultimately we're talking
Speaker 2: and touching the people, and the people have more power
Speaker 2: and reality than anyone, which is why they are repressed
Speaker 2: so consistently. And I just want to commend you all
Speaker 2: and thank you all for, even in the throes of
Speaker 2: your grief, you know, really focusing that anger and that
Speaker 2: grief in the direction of upliftment. And it's it's such
Speaker 2: a difficult thing to do because it's so much easier
Speaker 2: to just you know, go inside. But we are in
Speaker 2: a time where someone like Keith Porter's murder is not
Speaker 2: simply just it's not it's not simply just an injustice
Speaker 2: for your family that is felt by your family.
Speaker 1: This is it should It's global.
Speaker 2: This, this tyranny that we're experiencing is not the first
Speaker 2: of its kind. It's a continuance. We've been seeing it,
Speaker 2: uh for the past two and a half years in
Speaker 2: Palestine on a high level, on a completely uncontested level
Speaker 2: in terms of justice. And you know, I keep trying
Speaker 2: to tell people we are already living in apartheid because
Speaker 2: this man was able to fatally take the life of
Speaker 2: your cousin and suffer no consequences. He hasn't even suffered
Speaker 2: any It sounds like he hasn't even suffered any inconvenience, right,
Speaker 2: you know, just the inconvenience of being detained.
Speaker 1: Not at all.
Speaker 9: And and that's the biggest travesty right there. And you know,
Speaker 9: and all I can say is thank you for being
Speaker 9: so kind and even the acknowledgment of how painful this is.
Speaker 9: I don't know how not to fight, you know, so
Speaker 9: for mine especially, Oh, my foot is staying on the gas.
Speaker 9: You know, I can go, you know, please, you know,
Speaker 9: people ignore the tears because they're gonna come, They're gonna flow,
Speaker 9: and I'm gonna fight all the way through them. I
Speaker 9: don't know how to fight, and I have to do
Speaker 9: my foot on the gas.
Speaker 6: We don't.
Speaker 1: Like fire, like, those are not tears. Of weakness. Those
Speaker 1: are like I'm trying because I'm curious. It's rage.
Speaker 9: It's rage, Make no mistake about anything else. What I
Speaker 9: feel is rage. And it has taken all of my
Speaker 9: composure to make sure that I show up in the
Speaker 9: ways that I do, because how, you know, how dare
Speaker 9: them position that man right behind us? You know, like
Speaker 9: even with that the disrespect, and even thinking that that
Speaker 9: man would be lined up in a parade and doctor
Speaker 9: King's honor behind us with posters d a hawkman with
Speaker 9: my cousin's pictures plastered all over everything and all of
Speaker 9: the other victims to state sanctioned violence, and they have
Speaker 9: the gall to put him right behind us, right behind me,
Speaker 9: you know, And so we let him have it.
Speaker 6: And unfortunately.
Speaker 9: I watched and he started recording us back and was
Speaker 9: laughing like this is a joke to him, and this
Speaker 9: is this is not who we need in LA. Just
Speaker 9: like we got rid of Jackie Lacy, We're gonna get
Speaker 9: rid of him too.
Speaker 6: That's right, that's right. And I just say too that
Speaker 6: we're hearing a lot of people finally say abolish ice,
Speaker 6: and we say abolish ice. We lift that up, and
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say this and miss Tyler, Uh, rescue me
Speaker 6: if you need to. But it's important that we remember
Speaker 6: these elected officials, these local elected officials try to act
Speaker 6: like it's only ice. What we've seen with.
Speaker 2: Keith, it's important to remember they have addresses. But keep going,
Speaker 2: keep going, keep going.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, that too, But they act like l A
Speaker 6: PD is an answer to ice. That Oh, let let's
Speaker 6: have local law enforcement. No, local law enforcement are the
Speaker 6: protectors of ice. Yes, they are protectors of the murderers
Speaker 6: of our people. Local law enforcement are the primary ones there.
Speaker 1: We all so it's not uh huh may even here.
Speaker 9: You know, we worked hard to remove school police from
Speaker 9: our campuses, and now our superintendent has allowed administrators to
Speaker 9: bring them back on our campuses as the first line
Speaker 9: against ice, even though we've established sanctuary teams built into
Speaker 9: our community that are assigned spots to then come and
Speaker 9: no tofy the school of ice activity. Even the school
Speaker 9: district has used this as an opportunity to ignore the
Speaker 9: trauma of our black and brown students and bring school
Speaker 9: police back on our campuses. So everybody is complicit.
Speaker 2: I mean, you have Gavin heard some saying that there's
Speaker 2: no such saying that there isn't a genocide in Palestine.
Speaker 2: So even the folks who folks have I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: on a tear today about democrats because I'm so tired
Speaker 2: of talking about democrats and I'm just like, we have
Speaker 2: to stop acting like they're different.
Speaker 1: But the truth is all of these folks.
Speaker 2: Are sharing one main goal, which is how to repress
Speaker 2: and suppress any level of individual thought or individual freedom.
Speaker 2: And they have to start with the kids. So that's
Speaker 2: how that begins.
Speaker 6: So I'm sorry, Doc, I didn't mean to cut you. No, No,
Speaker 6: that's right. You did it better than me. I mean,
Speaker 6: that's the point. All the all the policing agents are
Speaker 6: the same, right, That's one of the chants in the streets,
Speaker 6: right that lapd kkk IOF. They're all the same. They're
Speaker 6: all the same. And so the answer to ice is
Speaker 6: not LAPD. The answer to abolishing ice also needs to
Speaker 6: lead us to say, well, what actually keeps communities safe?
Speaker 6: And for black folks, it's never been police, it's been
Speaker 6: more community resources. It's been making sure we have I said,
Speaker 6: you saved Damara's life, right, what if every pool had
Speaker 6: a miss Tyler?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 6: And so we need to be very very clear about
Speaker 6: that that when we say abolish ice, that needs to
Speaker 6: also be tied to an overall call to abolish all
Speaker 6: of the bs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will put this forth and you already said it.
Speaker 2: But the work you all are doing is how ice
Speaker 2: gets abolished, Because in my from what I have deduced,
Speaker 2: the abolishing of these systems, these organized movements against the people,
Speaker 2: is not going to come from the people who are
Speaker 2: benefiting from it. It's going to come from making it
Speaker 2: impossible for those for those to thrive. It's going to
Speaker 2: come from making it impossible for them to exist, right,
Speaker 2: and for just rendering it irrelevant. And it takes real
Speaker 2: imaginative work at the point in order to figure that out,
Speaker 2: because we've been so trained to just think that the
Speaker 2: system is here to be used in some type of way.
Speaker 2: But the system itself is so completely effective at being
Speaker 2: defective that we find ourselves when we use it, we
Speaker 2: almost entangle ourselves into its perfunctoriness.
Speaker 1: I got words today, and that's from educator. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: so I am.
Speaker 2: I really find myself every day working within the mindset
Speaker 2: of imagination on how we as communities step up even
Speaker 2: more than just preserving each other, you know, in terms
Speaker 2: of food in terms of education, et cetera. But and
Speaker 2: also like really thinking strategically about how we undermine the
Speaker 2: these organizations. We're smart, We really are smarter than them.
Speaker 2: These are not smart people. We got to get in
Speaker 2: our Kevin McAllister, Okay, we got to get in.
Speaker 1: Our home alone.
Speaker 2: Like we should really all be traveling with marbles. Everyone
Speaker 2: should just have a pocket of marbles.
Speaker 6: I always thought, you know, crazy glue is a really
Speaker 6: unutilized web with the whole If everybody had crazy.
Speaker 2: Like gorilla glue, girls should have really took us to
Speaker 2: a whole other level knowledge. And I say that, like,
Speaker 2: you know, jokingly literally alsois also seriously and also figuratively
Speaker 2: in the sense that the methodologies that we consider have
Speaker 2: to expand in terms of how we defunct, how we
Speaker 2: get these folks defunct, how we render them, and how
Speaker 2: we render them really impervious to our harms. And it's
Speaker 2: gonna take us really figuring out ways to fortify ourselves
Speaker 2: that we haven't considered before.
Speaker 6: And I think that for people watching that feels big sometimes,
Speaker 6: but it's not. It's just saying no, like like Nancy Reagan,
Speaker 6: but just say no.
Speaker 1: They're actually worked for me, I ain't gonna lie. I
Speaker 1: literally was like, I'm afraid of drugs forever.
Speaker 6: We were at Police Commission last Tuesday and they decided
Speaker 6: to shut it down and not allow public comment and
Speaker 6: we just said no, no, we're not we're not leaving.
Speaker 6: They were like, get out, it's over, and we said.
Speaker 1: No, and soot over and we announced it.
Speaker 6: Now it's a people's public comment. You get out and
Speaker 6: guess what they did.
Speaker 11: They left?
Speaker 6: They did you know, we did poetry and we had
Speaker 6: people talking and we talked about you took up space.
Speaker 4: And that's all.
Speaker 6: If everybody does that, and I'll actually lift up. There's
Speaker 6: one more person who's in elected office who doesn't like
Speaker 6: to be called a politician, who was a member of
Speaker 6: the LMLA, also Isaac Bryan, who also has been regularly
Speaker 6: using his platform and being in the streets for Keith
Speaker 6: Porter wherever you are. In My point in raising him
Speaker 6: is just to say, wherever you are, you can be
Speaker 6: more beholden to that whack ass seat that you hold
Speaker 6: than you are to the people. You're only there because
Speaker 6: the people thought you could do something for us. Wherever
Speaker 6: you are. If you're a teacher, if you are a
Speaker 6: male carrier. If you work it, I mean, I love hearing.
Speaker 6: A big controversy, Amanda, I don't know if you heard
Speaker 6: about it was sheriff walked into Starbucks. Nobody should go
Speaker 6: to Starbucks, but they do. Went into Starbucks and ordered
Speaker 6: a cup of coffee, and then Barista drew a picture of.
Speaker 1: A p Yes. Yes, I was like, yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: you can do. Do that, rowing their day, rowing on.
Speaker 6: They put out a whole statement about how that hurt
Speaker 6: the deputy's feelings. Yeah, good, hurt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's honestly, folks. Really So.
Speaker 2: I had an exchange with somebody because they were like,
Speaker 2: stop thinking that you're hurting these folks feelings.
Speaker 1: It's not going to do anything. And I'm like, yes
Speaker 1: it does.
Speaker 2: These people are fragile af that's why they go and
Speaker 2: get these jobs that they can feel like they are strong.
Speaker 2: These are mentally flimsy people, like I said, they're they're nucleus.
Speaker 2: The walls of their nuclei are made of filo paper.
Speaker 2: This is the type of things I'm talking about, Like,
Speaker 2: that's figurative marbles to throw off somebody. He was messed
Speaker 2: up all day. He himself in the foot at some
Speaker 2: point in that day, he was messed up all day.
Speaker 1: He couldn't get it.
Speaker 2: Up that night when he went to go with his
Speaker 2: wife like he was probably in ambles. And you know what,
Speaker 2: he also can't go back to that Starbucks now because
Speaker 2: he feels some type of way so.
Speaker 1: Affected that person.
Speaker 9: Good, Make them most comfortable wherever they are, make them
Speaker 9: uncomfortable in their own skin. Anything that you think is
Speaker 9: too small, it's not.
Speaker 2: Listen, the mental violence that has been put on us
Speaker 2: forever is not impossible for us to reflect back to
Speaker 2: these folks. Don't get it twisted. Their physical strength. First
Speaker 2: of all, this man is not strong. This is not
Speaker 2: a strong person. This okay, that that that person is
Speaker 2: filled with jelly. Okay, this is not a strong person
Speaker 2: eating smores right, And somebody on here gonna be like
Speaker 2: your body shaming. Yes, I am body shaming this individual
Speaker 2: right here, because they should be ashamed in every way
Speaker 2: and any way possible. And I promise you that's the
Speaker 2: part that he's most in secure part. So that's the
Speaker 2: part that you got to hee.
Speaker 6: And the reason we wanted the photo and the name
Speaker 6: is there is nowhere in this world that he should
Speaker 6: be able to go and feel comfortable. Correct, he should
Speaker 6: not be able to feel comfortable. His name is Brian Plazio's.
Speaker 6: He shouldn't be able to walk into his favorite food shop.
Speaker 6: He shouldn't be able to ride the bus or what.
Speaker 6: He shouldn't be able to walk the streets and feel comfortable.
Speaker 6: He is a murderer and he should be called the
Speaker 6: murderer wherever he goes.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 9: So if you happen to be where around Northridge, Sherwood,
Speaker 9: Sherwood Forest in the valley and you see that man,
Speaker 9: shame him, shame him. They've, like I said, we don't
Speaker 9: know if they've pceed him up now, you know, or
Speaker 9: if he's still in that complex where the elders say
Speaker 9: they no longer feel safe with him there. If you
Speaker 9: see that man, shame him, tell him to turn himself in.
Speaker 2: You know, there's a saying that goes there's some hoes
Speaker 2: in this house.
Speaker 1: If you see them, point them out.
Speaker 2: M m m. Well, y'all, I thank you all so
Speaker 2: much for sharing with us and for giving us the
Speaker 2: opportunity to uplift Keith. And this right here, lets y'all
Speaker 2: know where you can go and sign the petition.
Speaker 1: And before we go, I would love.
Speaker 2: To uplift Keith even further by giving us the opportunity
Speaker 2: to hear him speak in his own words.
Speaker 12: I don't blame anybody. I'm not negative, like I have
Speaker 12: a wonderful speak. You know what I'm saying. I love
Speaker 12: and I love for it. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 12: and I'm gonna keep on doing it because that's just
Speaker 12: the way of life.
Speaker 11: I love God.
Speaker 12: I am a very godly person and that's something'a continue
Speaker 12: to live my life. Mm I got two beautiful younger
Speaker 12: little girls out here, and i'm'a raise them the way
Speaker 12: that I'm supposed to. You know what I'm saying. I pray,
Speaker 12: I talk to my brothers. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 12: talk to God family, because at the end of the day,
Speaker 12: that's all I really got. But I feel rich though.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 12: I wake up every morning and I try to put
Speaker 12: on the best of fabrics that I got every single day.
Speaker 12: No matter if I got a dollar in my pocket,
Speaker 12: no matter if I got ten million dollars in my pocket.
Speaker 11: You will never know.
Speaker 12: Cause I'm not broken yet, and it's gonna be hard to.
Speaker 1: Break me.
Speaker 12: Cause I have a strong spirit. I grew up with
Speaker 12: a whole lot of love. I know it's the whole
Speaker 12: lot of people that love me out here, you know
Speaker 12: what I mean.
Speaker 9: Thank y'all so much, and.
Speaker 2: Thank you, love you, miss Tyler, love you, Miss Tyler,
Speaker 2: and I.
Speaker 9: Love you guys.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Amanda.
Speaker 9: They needed to see that, they needed to hear him.
Speaker 9: They need to know who Keith Porter was and who
Speaker 9: was stolen from this earth.
Speaker 1: Will continue to do that work.
Speaker 6: We say his name, Keith Porter, Keith Porter, Keith Porter.
Speaker 2: Thank y'all, and we will continue to do this work.
Speaker 2: And we send you all the strength and vibration to
Speaker 2: continue in this work and to be lifted not broken
Speaker 2: in the same way that Keith is.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you, Oh Gomory, how you doing.
Speaker 2: All right? When people say it's not that deep, it's
Speaker 2: always deeper. And one of the things that the video
Speaker 2: of Keith really speaks to is.
Speaker 1: The taking of light from this space.
Speaker 2: And every time that we are seeing that done, it
Speaker 2: is furthering that efforts of the powers that be to
Speaker 2: convince us that we are not deserving of being here, of.
Speaker 1: Being in love, being in peace, of being.
Speaker 2: In charge of our own existence and destiny. And I
Speaker 2: saw a white lady on my comments today say that
Speaker 2: the Earth will be better without us, and I said,
Speaker 2: keep that white bullshit out of my face, because humans
Speaker 2: was living with the earth in harmony for quite some
Speaker 2: time when we were preserving life, when we where upholding
Speaker 2: the preservation of connection. And what this earth is suffering
Speaker 2: from is a cancer of colonizers. That's what this earth
Speaker 2: is suffering from. Colonizers were born from someplace up there
Speaker 2: in Europe, and that cancer continued to grow. And that's
Speaker 2: the definition of cancer. It's a cell that continues to
Speaker 2: multiply without limitation. And I am trying to really get
Speaker 2: you all to see beyond your own limitations. The the
Speaker 2: taking of Keith Porter's life is not simply just the
Speaker 2: taking of a brother's life in.
Speaker 1: Los Angeles by an ice agent.
Speaker 2: That may be the end of the thread, but it
Speaker 2: connects to a much bigger nexus of hatred and that
Speaker 2: network and nexus of nature that comes down the line
Speaker 2: and it ends at Keith Porter, but it ends at
Speaker 2: so many of us, on so many regular bases. And
Speaker 2: so when we do our analysis and we only come
Speaker 2: up to, well, that's Trump's America. When we do our
Speaker 2: analysis and we only come up to, oh, well, you
Speaker 2: know that's racism. We're not digging deep enough, so we
Speaker 2: will not be effective.
Speaker 1: At the root.
Speaker 2: There is a spin mairitual force at work to eradicate
Speaker 2: life and light. So when people ask me what do
Speaker 2: we do, you have to first be able to wrap
Speaker 2: your head around the grandeur of that and your role
Speaker 2: in beating it, and that you have a role. Yes,
Speaker 2: you have a role.
Speaker 1: You're like a nerve ending of the earth.
Speaker 2: You're feeling it, fight it. We have to expand immediately.
Speaker 2: We have to see Keith Porter and his murder as
Speaker 2: not just an offense to a black man in America.
Speaker 2: That is an offense to humanity. That's how you have
Speaker 2: to see it. That's an a defense to the earth
Speaker 2: that you live on. It's an offense to existence. And
Speaker 2: until you allow yourself to break out of the limitations
Speaker 2: of only your individual journey, you will not be effective
Speaker 2: in finding safety for yourself. I promise you you won't.
Speaker 2: You have to be fearless in the intake of your understanding.
Speaker 2: Like Miss Debbie said, you have to wake up your spirit.
Speaker 2: We have to wake up our spirit. It's bigger. It's
Speaker 2: bigger than anything that you have been told. And I
Speaker 2: want you to hear what I mean by that, because
Speaker 2: you've only been told enough to keep you useful. Everybody
Speaker 2: out here thinking.
Speaker 1: It matters who you vote for.
Speaker 2: There it is Brandon see that he was threatened by
Speaker 2: Keith Porter's joy. I want you to understand the real
Speaker 2: depth of that, because you'll see a line like that
Speaker 2: and you may just be like, oh, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Word. No, this is.
Speaker 2: This is a very actually, really visceral concept to really
Speaker 2: grasp because the families that run the world find joy
Speaker 2: in harm.
Speaker 1: And they have been effective at.
Speaker 2: Exporting that throughout the globe and throughout generations in order
Speaker 2: to stay in power. This is very on a basic level.
Speaker 2: It is Star Wars, and it is the dark side.
Speaker 2: That's you know, the forces. You feel the force because
Speaker 2: the force is something we're gonna talk about a little later,
Speaker 2: like what actually energy shifting is what smiling does. Like
Speaker 2: we're gonna get into that because we need to be
Speaker 2: doing actual spirit work with our bodies, because these bodies
Speaker 2: right here are really powerful, and it seems like all
Speaker 2: the wrong people know that, all the wrong people know that.
Speaker 13: Let's see how black I feel today.
Speaker 14: You do whatever it's necessary, you know, That's what We've
Speaker 14: always done whatever came naturally. If if the situation colls
Speaker 14: for this, you do that.
Speaker 15: You do this.
Speaker 14: If it costs for that, you do that. We all
Speaker 14: know what we're doing.
Speaker 1: That's Ibby Lincoln.
Speaker 2: If you don't know about Ibbie Lincoln, Ibby Lincoln it
Speaker 2: was is was an incredible jazz singer and her and
Speaker 2: her husband Max Roach put some incredible music together and
Speaker 2: made some incredible music together. And I employ you to
Speaker 2: check out their album we Insist and really understand the
Speaker 2: music that was being made in the time of the
Speaker 2: sixties and the seventies and how.
Speaker 1: It was literal voice from spirit.
Speaker 2: And when you hear Abby Lincoln on we Insist, man, listen,
Speaker 2: you understand that it is not.
Speaker 1: By coincidence that the.
Speaker 2: Music that we hear now has no range, it has
Speaker 2: no movement. The music we hear now is frequencied out
Speaker 2: frequency lists.
Speaker 1: And this music that they made was music made from love.
Speaker 1: They were married and uh you know they would fly
Speaker 1: look at me, Max Roach.
Speaker 2: Was not no play, was not no game on them drums,
Speaker 2: all right, not no game. One of my favorite jazz
Speaker 2: songs of all time.
Speaker 14: You do whatever it's necessary is by.
Speaker 2: Ibbi Lincoln well sang by Abbie Lincoln. Once it's brother,
Speaker 2: Can you spare a dime? Ones?
Speaker 16: I built a railroad, made it road, made it race
Speaker 16: against time.

Speaker 18: don't I don't go to other people's neighborhood and try
Speaker 18: and incumidate them.
Speaker 15: I protect my people.
Speaker 6: Are you going to get your name?
Speaker 18: No, I'm okay with that. Our neighborhoods showing up. You
Speaker 18: guys have a lot of people out here right at
Speaker 18: least thirty or more forty or fifty.
Speaker 4: That's pretty good for a quick turning.
Speaker 1: This photo of January sixth, Lake Long getting boy Jack.
Speaker 19: We're just trying to help pick up some I release
Speaker 19: stay tennis.
Speaker 1: You know they're left out the.
Speaker 4: Gold and you can get some supplies, get.
Speaker 1: Them home whatever they need. It's a cold day, you
Speaker 1: could be on your couch watching a football game, your
Speaker 1: feet up.
Speaker 19: That's exactly what I'd be doing, to be honest. But
Speaker 19: it's uh, it's who else is going to do it.
Speaker 1: We just at this point it's not the police.
Speaker 19: We need the people.
Speaker 1: They're not just going after criminals.
Speaker 19: They're going door to door and they're.
Speaker 9: Targeting any black and brown person they can find, and
Speaker 9: all of America is next.
Speaker 10: Why do you?
Speaker 1: Why do you?
Speaker 12: Why do you want instead of like being in your warm,
Speaker 12: cozy house.
Speaker 9: Because there's a point where white's got to stand up
Speaker 9: and recognize that there is a white person problem and
Speaker 9: we need to represent our black and brown neighbors and
Speaker 9: disavow maga.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we need to put an end.
Speaker 20: To this.
Speaker 1: Sas.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into some sixty second headlines. Let's
Speaker 2: start quickly and when I'm okay, so we're going to
Speaker 2: do sixty second headlines differently. I really want to just
Speaker 2: be able to move through them and go back to
Speaker 2: what the sixty second headlines title was really supposed to
Speaker 2: be about, which is I'm giving you headlines in sixty seconds.
Speaker 2: So I want us to really just barrel through these
Speaker 2: and really just.
Speaker 1: Get to the bottom of what's up.
Speaker 2: Let's start with the MPLS cops playing themselves.
Speaker 1: Listen to this.
Speaker 18: Okay, good morning everyone, I'm Mark really police chief. The
Speaker 18: City of Brooklyn Park. Behind me is a bunch of
Speaker 18: amazing police chiefs that are here in support of a
Speaker 18: very short, but very important message that we want to
Speaker 18: share with you. What you won't hear from many of
Speaker 18: us today is rhetoric of abolish ICE or that there
Speaker 18: shouldn't be immigration enforcement. The truth is immigration enforcement is
Speaker 18: necessary for national security and for local security, but how
Speaker 18: it's done is extremely important. In fact, we have a
Speaker 18: long history of working exceptionally well with our federal partners,
Speaker 18: including ICE agents, and we have seen the best of
Speaker 18: them performed their job extremely well in the past. With
Speaker 18: that said, recently, as the last two weeks, we as
Speaker 18: law enforcement community, have been receiving endless complaints about civil
Speaker 18: rights violations and our streets from US citizens. What we're
Speaker 18: hearing is they're being stopped in traffic stops or on
Speaker 18: the street with no cause and being forced to demand
Speaker 18: paperwork to determine if they are here legally. As this
Speaker 18: went on over the past two weeks, we started hearing
Speaker 18: from our police officers the same complaints as they fell
Speaker 18: victim to this while off duty. Every one of these
Speaker 18: individuals is a person of color who has had this
Speaker 18: happen to them. In Brooklyn Park, one particular officer that
Speaker 18: shared her story with me was stopped as she passed
Speaker 18: ice going down the roadway. When they boxed her in,
Speaker 18: they demanded her paperwork, of which she's a US citizen
Speaker 18: and clearly would not have any paperwork.
Speaker 2: The irony of this is not lost on me, but
Speaker 2: it is definitely lost on them.
Speaker 1: I find it absolutely.
Speaker 2: Helllary, are we supposed to build ba for y'all?
Speaker 1: Because we absolutely do not.
Speaker 2: The cops say, invading folks, they stay doing too much
Speaker 2: and they are absolutely a tool of oppressors to continue oppression.
Speaker 2: Let's go on down to Miami and look at these
Speaker 2: Miami vice holes. Came up to a woman's house because
Speaker 2: of a comment that she left on the the internets to.
Speaker 9: Make sure it's you.
Speaker 19: We're not sure.
Speaker 9: That your account.
Speaker 6: I refuse to answer her questions without my lawyer president,
Speaker 6: So I really don't know how to answer that.
Speaker 4: Like I said, speech, this is.
Speaker 12: America, and I agree with we're just trying to see
Speaker 12: that you then we're not talking to the right person.
Speaker 11: We want to go see the right How can I
Speaker 11: help you? So pretty much, it's just a statement that
Speaker 11: was made.
Speaker 21: As far as you know, remain it says the guy
Speaker 21: who consistently calls for the death of all Palestinians tried
Speaker 21: to shut down a feeder for showing a movie that
Speaker 21: hurt his feelings and.
Speaker 20: Refuses to stand up for the LGBTQ community in any
Speaker 20: way even leave the room when they vote.
Speaker 21: And on related matters.
Speaker 19: Want you to know that you're all welcome.
Speaker 21: Clown face clown face conference.
Speaker 2: These people came up to this lady house because of
Speaker 2: a comment she made about the mayor of Miami. She
Speaker 2: is a veteran and this is not something new. However,
Speaker 2: folks are really beginning to understand that the United States
Speaker 2: and this concept of free speech is just a ruse.
Speaker 2: It's the same way that Israel presents the rules like
Speaker 2: they are some democratic nation.
Speaker 1: No, they are not. Only certain folks.
Speaker 2: Get access to the rights everyone else. It is just
Speaker 2: a suggestion. And the sooner that you understand that, than
Speaker 2: maybe the more mad enough you'll get to actually challenge
Speaker 2: the folks who put this in place. And I can
Speaker 2: tell you it is not the forefathers, Benjamin Franklin and such.
Speaker 2: All right, let's keep it moving, because it really is
Speaker 2: the folks who have built up Israel. And that's what
Speaker 2: they went to go to the lad lady's house to
Speaker 2: talk about. And then they have the nerve to now
Speaker 2: have Israel in Patagonia burning down parts of Argentina and Chile.
Speaker 11: Israel right, Porto.
Speaker 18: Portolao, no ghetto, nah.
Speaker 1: Get the really look at this footage. Absolutely the pipe.
Speaker 4: Israel right, people are the same.
Speaker 11: No, but we don't really don't know. I close it.
Speaker 11: I have to we have to do we go when.
Speaker 1: Incent Argentina put Israel, when I said Incentu's provocast for
Speaker 1: suposteros toist that Israeli Argentina.
Speaker 17: I doesn't know, you know, died through Mosca.
Speaker 1: But I look on.
Speaker 2: Now, these are all different people in Argentina and Chili
Speaker 2: and Chile speaking of the destruction that Israelis are doing
Speaker 2: to their land. You have to also understand, though, that
Speaker 2: this goes back to when Theodore Herzel back in the
Speaker 2: late eighteen hundreds was looking for a place for Zionists
Speaker 2: to set up shop and said, well what about and
Speaker 2: what about Argentina. And they had a whole plan to
Speaker 2: go to Argentina. It didn't pop off, and they ended
Speaker 2: up over in Fallestine. However, there are still plans to
Speaker 2: usurp Argentina, because the Zionist plan is not simply to
Speaker 2: just have the region of the East.
Speaker 1: No, they want the world.
Speaker 2: They want the world, and they have spent literally a century,
Speaker 2: almost at this point, seventy five years brainwashing an entire
Speaker 2: army and generations of an army of drones who respond
Speaker 2: to particular language and to particular dedic to particular demands
Speaker 2: and to particular orders, and do whatever needs to be
Speaker 2: done for the sake of Israel.
Speaker 1: Even if it is.
Speaker 2: Completely demeaning to anybody else, and that includes burning the land. Now,
Speaker 2: Jabier Melay, who is now the president of Argentina, is
Speaker 2: a Zionist. He is a Zionist. He was bailed out
Speaker 2: by Trump and you're like by Trump. Actually, no, he
Speaker 2: was bailed out by the United States, by the Central Bank.
Speaker 2: He was bailed out by the Zionists that run the world.
Speaker 2: Because the goal is to have the world be under
Speaker 2: one currency.
Speaker 1: That's the goal.
Speaker 2: To be able to suppress everyone at the same time,
Speaker 2: you're not even gonna have dollars. They're gonna be able
Speaker 2: to say no, not you. That's the goal, complete domination.
Speaker 2: It's for shit. Anytime you see these movies where it
Speaker 2: looks like stuff is beyond your scope of comprehension, no
Speaker 2: that they're doing that to try and convince you that
Speaker 2: that's not what they're actually doing.
Speaker 1: They want you to think it's fantasy, it's real.
Speaker 2: And you know what, what you always have to remember
Speaker 2: is that if everything is connected, everything is connected. So
Speaker 2: if they have capabilities that they've been able to harness
Speaker 2: and master to harm, then you better believe that there
Speaker 2: are folks who have capabilities who have figured out how
Speaker 2: to harness and master them to help.
Speaker 1: And Palestinians define that on a regular basis.
Speaker 5: Look at these folks, I'm gonna has to get in
Speaker 5: when't you will look at the rule and not ful
Speaker 5: Look for.
Speaker 2: So the people who are listening on the podcast, I
Speaker 2: will translate for you. They are saying that basically what
Speaker 2: they do is they are taking the rubble that has
Speaker 2: been left behind and they are having to put it
Speaker 2: through small crushers because they don't have the large crushers.
Speaker 1: But they are breaking it down to create bricks in
Speaker 1: order to rebuild it.
Speaker 5: And they can head.
Speaker 1: They're doing this manually.
Speaker 11: Or ben hat.
Speaker 2: They then remove the impurities in order to produce bricks,
Speaker 2: and they have created cementless bricks. And if you're wondering
Speaker 2: why I'm playing video of someone speaking a language that
Speaker 2: you don't speak, it's because I want us to get
Speaker 2: comfortable hearing other tongues. I want us to get comfortable
Speaker 2: hearing other language. I don't want us to continue to
Speaker 2: be living in our own silos.
Speaker 22: Cool, come on and tell me as Publigusta fiel As
Speaker 22: meant to miss with Saba mash, I think I'm an.
Speaker 11: Msala. Come on, stead Halia pr Fallus.
Speaker 2: So they have made the bricks without cement, but instead
Speaker 2: using items and resources that are actually available.
Speaker 22: In yeaf Worth degree. But Fansen Setenaer and.
Speaker 2: And the bricks that they've made are so ingenious because
Speaker 2: they do not require plastering or finishing. They are able
Speaker 2: to be laid down, mortared and that's it. Lego bricks.
Speaker 1: You're literally lego bricks, y'all.
Speaker 2: So for those of you who may not know about
Speaker 2: building homes, one of the things that can be so
Speaker 2: difficult is routing electricity because when you're building, you have
Speaker 2: to find spaces in the in the in the walls
Speaker 2: to be able to run plumbing and electricity. So what
Speaker 2: they have engineered here are bricks that have holes in
Speaker 2: the center that line up so that it is easy
Speaker 2: to run electricity and plumbing. This is actually beyond innovative
Speaker 2: for Palestinians, and this is a form of building that
Speaker 2: can be innovative for the world when we look at
Speaker 2: Africa and how they are still living in mud huts
Speaker 2: because it makes sense for the climate. This right here
Speaker 2: is we are witnessing innovation in real time that will
Speaker 2: last for a time.
Speaker 11: Heat and Ma'm publishing sir, we see the technical.
Speaker 22: Vinicipular les soup man, we start doing.
Speaker 2: They recruit workers who have been displaced to help with
Speaker 2: the constructions. So individuals can contribute rubble, they can contribute
Speaker 2: utility networks. They can contribute to actually breaking down the rubble.
Speaker 22: Come and the idea woman in Betan, did you saman year?
Speaker 2: So this is the Green Rock Project. You can learn
Speaker 2: more about them online. I just wanted to share that
Speaker 2: with you because I know that it can feel so
Speaker 2: distabilitating how often we are looking at destruction and degradation. However,
Speaker 2: remember that everything is everything in in the midst of
Speaker 2: destruction and degradation, there is there is always someone somewhere.
Speaker 2: There is light because the earth still exists and the
Speaker 2: Earth is a giver of life and light.
Speaker 1: And let me just tell you, I feel like all people.
Speaker 2: Of indigenous origin have like specific kind of like gifts
Speaker 2: that they are able to get to bring. And then
Speaker 2: Palestinians when it comes to engineering, I think they might
Speaker 2: got it, y'all.
Speaker 1: I think the I think for.
Speaker 2: Steam, I got it on the engineering. I think they
Speaker 2: may got it. Black American indigenous folks, I think we
Speaker 2: got it on the arts because we we we coming
Speaker 2: with the music we got. I think we got it
Speaker 2: on the music, the amount of different types of music
Speaker 2: we have made that have changed up the entire world. Okay,
Speaker 2: I think we got it on that.
Speaker 1: I think we do. But when it comes when it
Speaker 1: when it.
Speaker 2: Come to engineering, god, now may they they really been
Speaker 2: doing it. So I wanted to share that with you
Speaker 2: all because I know that it can be so frustrating.
Speaker 2: It can really feel like what we got that, dude,
Speaker 2: But we're gonna keep doing. Are y also with me
Speaker 2: for these sixty second headlines?
Speaker 1: All right? Because we got one more. Let's actually we
Speaker 1: have two more.
Speaker 15: So.
Speaker 2: Mark Carney, who is the leader over there in Canada,
Speaker 2: had this to say about the United States.
Speaker 15: To the story of the International Rules Base Order was
Speaker 15: partially false.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I need to change that. He is the Prime Minister.
Speaker 1: They are not leaders.
Speaker 2: They're actually followers who are carrying out an agenda that
Speaker 2: was handed to them.
Speaker 15: We knew the story of the International Rules Base Order
Speaker 15: was partially false, that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient,
Speaker 15: that trade rules were enforced asymmetrically, and we knew that
Speaker 15: international law applied with varying rigor depending on the identity
Speaker 15: of the accused or the victim. This fiction was useful.
Speaker 15: An American hegemony, in particular, helped provide public goods, open
Speaker 15: sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security, and support
Speaker 15: for frameworks for resolving disputes. So we placed the sign
Speaker 15: in the window, we participated in the rituals, and we
Speaker 15: largely of calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality.
Speaker 15: This bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We
Speaker 15: are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.
Speaker 15: Over the past two decades, a series of crises in finance, health, energy,
Speaker 15: and geopolitics have laid bare the risks of extreme global integration.
Speaker 15: But more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration
Speaker 15: as weapons. Tariffs's leverage, financial infrastructure is coercion, supply chains
Speaker 15: as vulnerabilities to be exploited. You cannot live within the
Speaker 15: lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the
Speaker 15: source of your subordination.
Speaker 1: Nazi.
Speaker 2: Some of y'all thinking that this man is being brave,
Speaker 2: and I just want to always remind you that you
Speaker 2: are not watching someone who is speaking from their individual
Speaker 2: decision making power. Folks like this are able to get
Speaker 2: in power because they are going to be willing to
Speaker 2: carry out the Powers that Bes agenda. Thank you, Emma.
Speaker 2: Someone wrote his speech. Side note.
Speaker 1: I remember going on a date one time with this
Speaker 1: guy who was like, you know, I.
Speaker 2: Just love Barack Obama and I was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: you know what did you love about Barack? And he
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, he was such an incredible speaker.
Speaker 2: I mean, he was just so amazing as a speaker.
Speaker 2: And I was like, I mean, you know that he
Speaker 2: did not write his speeches correct.
Speaker 1: The date was never the same.
Speaker 2: This is the gaffer from Insecure who who ended up
Speaker 2: crying later on the date, like.
Speaker 1: I just ruined his whole vision.
Speaker 2: But Mark Carney here, and what he's saying is that
Speaker 2: they're not gonna mess with the USA anymore because the
Speaker 2: mess with of the USA is done. They're done, and
Speaker 2: they're making deals with China. And here's what I theorize
Speaker 2: is actually had happening. The United States has run its
Speaker 2: UH has basically overrun its time as a useful tool
Speaker 2: for these Zionist powers that be, and thus they are
Speaker 2: going to tank the United States in order to save
Speaker 2: it via Israel. And that is how We're going to
Speaker 2: see regime change in the United States, and nothing is
Speaker 2: going to be the same. Nothing is going to be
Speaker 2: the same. And all of you, all who do not
Speaker 2: believe in Zionism or who do not think it is
Speaker 2: a power that is going to affect you, are going
Speaker 2: to have to fight it head on because it's going
Speaker 2: to be in your face every day because the global
Speaker 2: course is moving. And when we're seeing these things that happen,
Speaker 2: if it don't make sense, it's because it don't make sense.
Speaker 1: That is what I theorize is happening. And when you
Speaker 1: see folks that are.
Speaker 2: You're seeing the co opting of protests in other places,
Speaker 2: you think they're not going to do that here.
Speaker 1: You think they're not trying to do it here, of course.
Speaker 2: And the astrology girlies will all tell you, we just
Speaker 2: had Laura Chung here last week that we are in
Speaker 2: the year of end of Empire, and these people believe
Speaker 2: in astrology.
Speaker 1: They literally worship Saturn. Literally. I'm not saying that as
Speaker 1: like a as like something to just say out my neck.
Speaker 2: The people who run the world identify as a sect
Speaker 2: of Jewish people, and the Sabbath is about Saturn. Come on,
Speaker 2: wake up, we're being run and thus, Okay, so now
Speaker 2: we have this person. What happens if you're wrong?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 2: Israel's an American occupied government, not the other way around.
Speaker 1: I'm not wrong, so you don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 1: I am not wrong. And there's literally, I mean, such.
Speaker 2: An abundance of evidence that disputes what you're saying. I'm
Speaker 2: not making this up. Any theory I have comes from evidence,
Speaker 2: and then my intuition backs it up.
Speaker 1: Come on, So when we see these things, these.
Speaker 2: Moments, Oh, somebody said, I'm a narcissist. I love how
Speaker 2: y'all do not know what narcissm is. I really love
Speaker 2: that y'all do not know what narcissism is. Let's just
Speaker 2: take a quick side quest to talk about what narcissism is.
Speaker 2: Narcissism is the inability to be corrected when you have
Speaker 2: committed harm. Okay, that's what narcissism is. Narcissism is not
Speaker 2: being right because you're right. Narcissism, as Kimberly is pointing
Speaker 2: out as well, is also the absence of empathy. It
Speaker 2: is the inability to see the other person as you.
Speaker 2: That is what narcissism is. Nobody who has spent even
Speaker 2: a modicum of time consuming my content could ever confidently
Speaker 2: say that I am made narcissist. I cry way too
Speaker 2: much about other people's pain to be considered a narcissist. No,
Speaker 2: when I have been told that I have harmed somebody,
Speaker 2: I receive it course correct, and I practice restorative justice practices. Now,
Speaker 2: the thing about it is there have been times where
Speaker 2: people are actually weaponizing those accusations, as we have seen
Speaker 2: with folks claiming to be anti with folks accusing people
Speaker 2: of being anti Semitic, that's a real thing. People will
Speaker 2: try to use your empathy against you because they know
Speaker 2: that you are empathetic, and so they will actually instead
Speaker 2: of uh so, what they will do is they will
Speaker 2: use your empathy.
Speaker 1: So don't get me out here trying to call me
Speaker 1: a narcissist because I.
Speaker 2: Refuse to capitulate to someone else's accusation of my erroneousness.
Speaker 2: I am not wrong, and I'm not gonna say that
Speaker 2: I'm wrong because it makes you feel comfortable.
Speaker 1: I know when I'm wrong and I know when i'm right.
Speaker 2: And I also don't be speaking on shit, you know, Like,
Speaker 2: if people want to tell me I'm wrong. You gotta
Speaker 2: give me the reason why, and they'll be like, oh, oh,
Speaker 2: now I know, So let's get back on track. We
Speaker 2: had a brother stand up and expel his light into Oh,
Speaker 2: don't get me started on, Lord Denethorpe. You know what Isabelle?
Speaker 1: Please? Isadel please?
Speaker 2: We already are on a side quest and now you're
Speaker 2: taking me to Minnesiath.
Speaker 1: Don't. I don't have time to go to Minnestiath right now.
Speaker 1: Shout out to all my lord of the rings. There
Speaker 1: is one ring to rule them, one ring to bind them.
Speaker 1: Actually hold on, hold on.
Speaker 2: To them, one ring to bind them, one ring in
Speaker 2: the darkness, find them.
Speaker 1: Okay, we can move on now, next story.
Speaker 20: Mat At the end of the day, it's bigger than me.
Speaker 20: When things that are going on makes people uncomfortable, I
Speaker 20: imagine how those people feel. I think that's the biggest thing.
Speaker 20: I have no affiliation, no connection to these people other
Speaker 20: than the fact that I'm a human being and you
Speaker 20: have a heart, and you a human being. You can
Speaker 20: see what's going on in the world, and you check
Speaker 20: yourself real quick, even when I'm walking off this field.
Speaker 20: That's the type of stuff that goes to my head
Speaker 20: that I have to check myself when I'm seeing it
Speaker 20: crying about football when it's people who are dying every
Speaker 20: single day.
Speaker 1: So that is a zz Al Shaiir and he is
Speaker 1: literally being fined right now.
Speaker 2: Because this man put on his face tape that says
Speaker 2: stop the genocide. And what they're asking him is like,
Speaker 2: why do you do it? He's like, because it's a
Speaker 2: genocide and it need.
Speaker 1: That's that.
Speaker 2: So here he is with the tape and you know
Speaker 2: this is his kneeling situation. Now if you ask me,
Speaker 2: he should have been doing it every day once you
Speaker 2: start it. But nonetheless, you know, we we're going to
Speaker 2: make sure that we highlight those who are bringing light,
Speaker 2: those who are bringing love. We're going to make sure
Speaker 2: that we are not only talking about the negative wildness
Speaker 2: that's going on in this world, but that we are
Speaker 2: lifting up the positive because it is a force and
Speaker 2: it's out here, and they will try to convince you
Speaker 2: that it is not effective, and it is effective and
Speaker 2: it will be if we can all consciously believe in it.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 2: Shout out to Minnesota because they are coming forward with
Speaker 2: a forceful effort on.
Speaker 1: Friday, Come Trump, we fucking with you. Get out of Minnesota.
Speaker 19: Important doesn't feel like a strong enough word for what
Speaker 19: this means this coming Friday. It's exciting to consider the
Speaker 19: power that people's pocketbook, as they say.
Speaker 23: Has We're trying to rather them people together to walk
Speaker 23: the streets to kind of like shut down businesses, shut
Speaker 23: down everything pretty much because we want to get ice
Speaker 23: out of here.
Speaker 2: It's a protest that allows us to remember how big
Speaker 2: our community can be, as strong as it can be
Speaker 2: when we come together.
Speaker 1: You have to stand up. This is not normal. We
Speaker 1: should not normalize this type of behavior.
Speaker 14: The people have power in this country.
Speaker 18: So that's what it's going to take is all of
Speaker 18: us coming together, how many each other's backs.
Speaker 2: Hopefully the rest of the country can see that this walkout,
Speaker 2: this strike has an impact with a big or small.
Speaker 23: We built this shit, you know what I'm saying. We
Speaker 23: made this from a from a brown up. We can
Speaker 23: take this shit down and take it back. We're human beings.
Speaker 19: Bro.
Speaker 1: You gotta have herd here, Bro, you feel me. It's
Speaker 1: got to have them heard.
Speaker 23: Bro. You can't just put all of us in one
Speaker 23: one circle and try to make us pain us as criminals.
Speaker 24: Bro.
Speaker 1: It's real hard work.
Speaker 5: As Somalia's Mexicans.
Speaker 1: White people all it. Broyet Eyeshot of Minnesota.
Speaker 2: Shout out to Breakthrough News for always doing the damn
Speaker 2: thing and big up to the homie uh Eugene per Year.
Speaker 2: Should I be watching Naruto? You know, I never watched Naruto?
Speaker 2: Should I be watching nut Like? Is that something I
Speaker 2: need to bring into my life? I mean, let me know,
Speaker 2: because I I keep having Naruto like come across my
Speaker 2: consciousness and then I'm just like, but I don't know
Speaker 2: if I should, if I if I.
Speaker 1: Really need to?
Speaker 2: Okay, so everyone is saying yes, Okay, So if I
Speaker 2: have to choose between Naruto and I'm one Piece, which
Speaker 2: one because both of them, both of them require commitment.
Speaker 1: Okay, so which one? Let's do?
Speaker 2: I mean, we may have to do a poll because
Speaker 2: one Piece is like fifty years long. Okay, So no Uto,
Speaker 2: you guys are all right, it looks like Naruto. Okay,
Speaker 2: all right, Okay, because Jeremiah said one Piece doesn't get
Speaker 2: good until episode three hundred, and that's all I needed
Speaker 2: to hear. Okay, So all right, I'm I'm gonna start Naruto. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna.
Speaker 1: Start n Utto. I mean I've been looking for something
Speaker 1: to really commit to.
Speaker 2: I've been doing a got rewatch, but I don't watch
Speaker 2: every episode because some of them I'm just like, I
Speaker 2: can do without this. I've seen Okay, how many times
Speaker 2: are we gonna be these white women?
Speaker 1: I mean really, you know what I mean? I mean really,
Speaker 1: so big.
Speaker 2: Ups to Minnesota and stepping up and stepping out. And
Speaker 2: we had Minnesota high quality whites earlier in the show.
Speaker 2: Shout out to everybody. He was just now joining us
Speaker 2: as we were about to get into the twelve o'clock
Speaker 2: hour here at Views from Amanda Land. If you are
Speaker 2: just joining us, then you missed that. Earlier we were
Speaker 2: joined by doctor Malina Abdullah and Ms Tyler, cousin of
Speaker 2: Keith Porter, the brother in Los Angeles who was fatally
Speaker 2: gunned down by an off duty Ice officer who lived
Speaker 2: in his apartment complex. This is on New Year's Eve,
Speaker 2: and we had a great conversation lifting up Keith Porter's
Speaker 2: name and the work that they are doing in California
Speaker 2: and that folks are doing all over the nation to
Speaker 2: keep his name lifted and to attempt to get justice
Speaker 2: served for his life being stolen by these ice agents.
Speaker 2: I also want to remind you that it's very necess
Speaker 2: to remember the language of abolish ice. Abolish ice.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: So also, just coming back to Naruto, like, y'all are
Speaker 2: talking about filler episodes, so.
Speaker 1: Should I not watch? Like what the filler episodes are
Speaker 1: gonna bother me? So this is what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try because like Avatar has filler episodes, but
Speaker 2: the filler episodes and Avatar I appreciate, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. Oh wow, there's a list online of Naruto
Speaker 2: filler episodes. Okay, But then people are saying, no, you
Speaker 2: do need to watch the filler episodes. So okay, I mean,
Speaker 2: I can't tell from y'all if you like the filler
Speaker 2: episodes or not because.
Speaker 1: People that are like, there's all a lot of filler.
Speaker 1: So I've seen this might get me, this might get
Speaker 1: me dissed. I've seen.
Speaker 2: The first live action episode of One Piece and I
Speaker 2: was like, that means nothing. Okay, So they all are
Speaker 2: like Avatar filler was fire. The atsuki fillers are important, Okay,
Speaker 2: the live action ain't it all?
Speaker 1: Right? I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: See, now you have Rolando, who actually loves the filler
Speaker 2: episodes in Naruto.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so I'm gonna try.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's all I'm I mean, I'm acting like
Speaker 2: I'm making like a really big decision here, but it's
Speaker 2: really like it.
Speaker 1: If I like it, I like it.
Speaker 2: If I don't, I don't. And that's it, all right?
Speaker 2: So how did y'all like sixty second headlines this go around?
Speaker 2: This is how we're going to be doing it moving forward,
Speaker 2: just running through them, getting it to the getting to
Speaker 2: the meat of things.
Speaker 1: You feel me getting to the meat of things.
Speaker 2: I also wanted to just I really feel like I
Speaker 2: want to start a segment that's like just a read
Speaker 2: something about a read, like because I really love when
Speaker 2: people get read down. And this video of this woman
Speaker 2: in Zambia who is the Minister of Labor Social Secretary reading.
Speaker 1: Down this Chinese warehouse owner is worth watching.
Speaker 4: I don't want characters like you.
Speaker 17: We are here to find out we are interested in
Speaker 17: your investment in this country. You're an investor if here
Speaker 17: that's a contractor contractor.
Speaker 11: There are rules that.
Speaker 17: Government contracts in this country, right, and when we come
Speaker 17: on the site, we've got a rights and demandate brings
Speaker 17: us here to come and take the welfare of the workers.
Speaker 17: If these workers are well taken care of, you will
Speaker 17: be more productive. You will be able to finish those
Speaker 17: houses faster than you are finishing.
Speaker 14: Now.
Speaker 17: Okay, people start pointing a finger at you because of
Speaker 17: your arrogors. So these I've got an umbrella within which
Speaker 17: they operate, just like you are. Also, you're also operating
Speaker 17: under an umbrella of the lord's umber. So when we
Speaker 17: have come to hear the employees, it is our time.
Speaker 17: And when we ask you questions to clarify, you have
Speaker 17: the obligation to answer, not arrogantly, not chicky, but in
Speaker 17: a normal professional man. If you're a profession not you're
Speaker 17: looking away and you go heahy, not here, not here,
Speaker 17: not here, don't even retort when I'm talking.
Speaker 5: You have your own time to speak.
Speaker 17: Okay, So when I'm asking.
Speaker 4: This, one's not answer.
Speaker 17: When do you eat your time? As you weren't engaged
Speaker 17: to hear DC was talking to you, I'm talking to them.
Speaker 17: What makes you want to dump?
Speaker 1: And go ahead?
Speaker 5: Pay attention to the DC.
Speaker 11: I'm talking to the.
Speaker 4: Read dumn.
Speaker 1: That was from twenty twenty two. That was from twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two.
Speaker 2: Read them on down y'all just took him, took him
Speaker 2: now took him?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: Oh man, Well, before we uh get into the next segment,
Speaker 2: I want to play for you all this uh, this
Speaker 2: segment of doctor Martin Luther King from my show.
Speaker 1: What would the ancestors say?
Speaker 2: Now, we just had doctor Rotin Luther King's birthday celebration
Speaker 2: on the nineteenth observed here in the United States, and
Speaker 2: I wanted to just remember that the doctor King that
Speaker 2: got a celebration birthday, that birthday is not about doctor King.
Speaker 2: That birthday is about pacifying the people. That man would
Speaker 2: not have wanted a birthday, I promise you. Apparently the
Speaker 2: next sermon that he was about supposed to give was
Speaker 2: why America is going to Hell? And he was assassinated
Speaker 2: before he was able to give the sermon. It is
Speaker 2: also said that the person who killed him ended up
Speaker 2: not being able to be linked to the weapon. So
Speaker 2: eye witnessed testimonies also said that they saw other people
Speaker 2: moving in bushes, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. You know, and we
Speaker 2: just have to know and understand that everything we're told
Speaker 2: is a lie. So like, why would they tell the
Speaker 2: truth about that.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Why why would they tell
Speaker 1: the truth about that? They wouldn't. There's no reason to
Speaker 1: tell the truth about that.
Speaker 2: We know from the FBI files that came out that
Speaker 2: there was immense efforts to do everything in their power
Speaker 2: to create dissension between doctor Martin Luther King and everyone
Speaker 2: around him, the same way that there was immense efforts
Speaker 2: to create dissension amongst the Panthers.
Speaker 1: And while I'm talking about the Panthers, can I also just.
Speaker 2: Like I keep seeing people using the word infighting. Like
Speaker 2: if I say, hey, I don't know if this person's
Speaker 2: actually what they are. We need to really look into this.
Speaker 2: People are like, you're starting infighting. That's not what infighting is.
Speaker 2: Infighting is creating conflict for the sake of conflict. Infighting
Speaker 2: is people within the same effort disagreeing to a point
Speaker 2: of inability to move forward.
Speaker 1: That's what infighting is.
Speaker 2: Inquiry is not infighting, and for what it's worth, it's
Speaker 2: a real quick route to the truth.
Speaker 1: So I made a video about that.
Speaker 2: Dude from the Black Panthers in Philadelphia, and I put
Speaker 2: that in quotes Black Panthers in Philadelphia. I made a
Speaker 2: video about that dude three days ago, he should have
Speaker 2: been vetted and proven.
Speaker 1: To be what he is by now he is not.
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that a little later.
Speaker 2: But let's let me just show y'all some doctor king
Speaker 2: real quick, because I'm really proud of the work that
Speaker 2: I did for what would the ancestors say? And for
Speaker 2: this live stream that we did for Life from lat
Speaker 2: and getting to share it with you guys finally is
Speaker 2: really exciting.
Speaker 1: And we have the audiobook coming in March, so look
Speaker 1: out for that. Also. I think it's.
Speaker 2: Important to remember that you know the work that I'm doing,
Speaker 2: the work that you're seeing me do, etc. Like you
Speaker 2: guys are the source. So I love that you guys
Speaker 2: continue to support my work and that you are bringing
Speaker 2: new people to the place to support the work as well,
Speaker 2: because without the new folks, I'd just be draining y'all,
Speaker 2: and I don't want to drain nobody. He had been
Speaker 2: a very prim and proper Negro.
Speaker 1: However, and where do we go from here?
Speaker 2: Community or chaos? The last book he wrote before being
Speaker 2: assassinated on that fateful balcony in Memphis, Tennessee. He laments
Speaker 2: that a year after the voting rights Act had passed.
Speaker 2: Though the law changed, the.
Speaker 1: American sentiment toward the Negro had not.
Speaker 2: This was the burning house that Mlka Junior feared he'd
Speaker 2: integrated his people into. We're so are often sold a
Speaker 2: version of doctor King that is palatable to the oppressor,
Speaker 2: one that depicts him as like an obedient subject, passively
Speaker 2: asking for their rights on bended kneeses like please some.
Speaker 1: All right, sir? Why is this audio not playing? That
Speaker 1: is so annoying? Stand bye?
Speaker 2: Someone asks if we can meditate for fifteen minutes together?
Speaker 1: That's not really what this show I I for.
Speaker 2: Okay, the answer is no, just because I don't like meditating.
Speaker 2: So I'm just I was about to give you a
Speaker 2: whole thing, but I just I don't like meditating. It's
Speaker 2: not my it's not my jam and uh so no,
Speaker 2: but I respect it, but I just it's uh no,
Speaker 2: And fifteen minutes is like a really long time when
Speaker 2: people do what this woman just did right here. What
Speaker 2: that's annoying? Just so you know, lady Desiree, that's annoying. No,
Speaker 2: I don't like meditating. And when you say some shit
Speaker 2: you don't like that, I like, I promise you I'm
Speaker 2: not going to respond that way because it's annoying. Meditating
Speaker 2: is something done in many, many forms, and you said
Speaker 2: that in a completely different comment. Do y'all realize I'm
Speaker 2: I'm I'm do y'all realize that, like you are not
Speaker 2: living in a vacuum. I'm doing a show and you're commenting.
Speaker 2: So when you comment everything that comes your brain into
Speaker 2: the chat and you think that I'm catching everything that
Speaker 2: you say, you're wrong.
Speaker 1: Okay, there's a chat of four.
Speaker 2: Hundred and eighty three people here, so no, you didn't
Speaker 2: say that in the same phrase.
Speaker 1: You actually said, what meditating is a must? And then
Speaker 1: a couple later.
Speaker 2: You said, I respect it though, And you don't respect
Speaker 2: it though, because you literally responded like that, And I
Speaker 2: just want you to know that's annoying.
Speaker 1: I got up this morning and did twenty minutes of yoga.
Speaker 1: I hate yoga, still did it though.
Speaker 2: I did it, y'all because I've been doing twenty minutes
Speaker 2: of movement every day. Every day I do twenty minutes
Speaker 2: of movement, and it's been working wonders. But I'm also
Speaker 2: now in the phase where my body is like, oh, so.
Speaker 1: We we're still gonna do We're gonna keep doing this.
Speaker 1: My body is like the novelty is over. My body
Speaker 1: is now like huh.
Speaker 2: Yes, And I went and swam yesterday, and let me
Speaker 2: tell y'all, and yes, the swimming is my meditation for real.
Speaker 1: And when I'm swimming, I'm getting so much stronger, y'all.
Speaker 2: Before I could only do four laps, and yesterday I
Speaker 2: did sets of five laps.
Speaker 1: And the goal.
Speaker 2: Eventually is to be able to just swim NonStop for
Speaker 2: twenty minutes. I hope one day I can get there
Speaker 2: where I can swim non stop for twenty minutes, because
Speaker 2: basically there's three modes of swimming I do, like It'll
Speaker 2: be freestyle, back backstroke, and then I'll do like a
Speaker 2: backstroke without my arms, where I'm just like paddling my legs,
Speaker 2: and that's really like my rest mode. So I really
Speaker 2: don't ever stop for real, for real, but I consider
Speaker 2: that to be the rest. And I want to reach
Speaker 2: a point where I don't even have to do day.
Speaker 2: I'm either front stroking a big stroking, front stroking a
Speaker 2: big stroke.
Speaker 1: Get pause.
Speaker 2: Actually, I think there's a pause called for that. So
Speaker 2: I did yoga this morning, and uh, he's about said
Speaker 2: I have crazy upper body straight I do, though.
Speaker 1: I actually do. I'm like really really strong. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: All right, Nick attack, let's get into this video. I've
Speaker 2: been trying to show y'all my gay A had been
Speaker 2: a very prim and proper Negro. However, and where do
Speaker 2: we go from here?
Speaker 1: Community or chaos?
Speaker 2: The last book he wrote before being assassinated on that
Speaker 2: fateful balcony in Memphis, Tennessee. He laments that, a year
Speaker 2: after the Boden Rights Act had passed, though the law changed,
Speaker 2: the American.
Speaker 1: Sentiment toward the Negro had not.
Speaker 2: This was the burning house that MLK Junior feared he'd
Speaker 2: integrated his people into. We're so often sold a version
Speaker 2: of doctor King that is palatable to the oppressor, one
Speaker 2: that depicts him as like an obedient subject, passively asking
Speaker 2: for their rights on bended knees like Pisa, all right, sir,
Speaker 2: rather than forcefully demanding them when in actuality, he was
Speaker 2: only twenty six at the start of the Montgomery Boycott,
Speaker 2: and by his death he was thirty nine. You know
Speaker 2: how much you changed and that amount of time, Like
Speaker 2: I was dating drug dealers a twenty six, I still
Speaker 2: was at thirty nine though MLK may have started seeking integration.
Speaker 2: He eventually saw through the guys and understood that it
Speaker 2: was capitalism that was allowing racism to subsist. He began
Speaker 2: to support the labor unions. He questioned government allocation of resources.
Speaker 2: He advocated for reparations where we cut in the check.
Speaker 2: It was after all of this when he had evolved
Speaker 2: into Martin Luther, the King.
Speaker 1: That this nation thought to be rid of him.
Speaker 2: I want you to know that you can check out
Speaker 2: the full two and a half hour show, but heading

Speaker 1: You love Doctor King. What is it about the drug dealers?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Also Richela has entered the chat. She said, I was
Speaker 2: driving so I couldn't talk much.
Speaker 15: What is it?
Speaker 4: What is it about the hustlers?
Speaker 1: I don't somebody decode that for me? Is that what
Speaker 1: it is?
Speaker 22: Denise?
Speaker 1: The no fear, their confidence, no, the dealing JURYM I mean.
Speaker 2: That's what it is, Emma. Anti establishment. Yeah, it's very that.
Speaker 2: It's very anti establishment. It's actually not anti capitalists. Drug
Speaker 2: dealers are the most capitalists, but they're anti establishment capitalists.
Speaker 2: They're like, I'm gonna get it without I'm gonna get
Speaker 2: it from you, but not boy like for you.
Speaker 1: Does that I don't know. There's the rebel element of it. Nay,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: They actually do answer to it. They answer to a
Speaker 2: lot of folks, unless you dating like Chapo. They answer
Speaker 2: into folks. Listen, they're answering with their lives, to be
Speaker 2: quite on it. Yeah, so, and as Hamid said, it's
Speaker 2: constant fear. But let's bring it back. That's really what
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 1: That's the swag. Yeah, it's the tims and the rugged demeanor.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Jack now brought it back for us.
Speaker 2: If they're not answering, they're already in trouble. Okay, man, listen, well,
Speaker 2: Buddha girl, let me expound upon that. It's not that
Speaker 2: the United States has always been in the drug game,
Speaker 2: but the Zionists have always been in the drug game,
Speaker 2: because the English have always been in the drug game,
Speaker 2: because Honey child, they was peddling that opium, okay, and
Speaker 2: then when they wasn't doing it with China, they was
Speaker 2: doing it with Afghanistan, with the US. So the drug
Speaker 2: game always been on one, all right. And I just
Speaker 2: think that when a lot of to bring this all
Speaker 2: back to MLK. So doctor Martin Luther King, like I said,
Speaker 2: was twenty six and then thirty nine, and by the
Speaker 2: end of his life he was speaking very differently, okay.
Speaker 10: Willingness to give the white peasants from Europe and economic base,
Speaker 10: and yet it refused to give its black peasants from Africa,
Speaker 10: who came here involuntarily in chains and had worked free
Speaker 10: for two hundred and forty four years any kind of
Speaker 10: economic base. And so emancipation for the Negro was really
Speaker 10: freedom to hunger. It was freedom to the winds and
Speaker 10: rains of heaven. It was freedom without food to eat
Speaker 10: or land to cultivate, and therefore it was freedom and famine.
Speaker 10: At the same time, when white Americans tell the Negro
Speaker 10: to lift himself by his own bootstraps, they don't look
Speaker 10: over the legacy of slaver and segregation. I believe we
Speaker 10: ought to do all we can and seek to lift
Speaker 10: ourselves by on bootstraps. But it's a cruel jest to
Speaker 10: say to a bootless man that he ought to lift
Speaker 10: himself by his on bootstraps. And many Negroes, by the
Speaker 10: thousands and millions, have been left bootless as a result
Speaker 10: of all of these years of oppression.
Speaker 2: And as now, this was not a speech Adrian, it
Speaker 2: was an interview that he did with a reporter. So
Speaker 2: doctor Martin Luther King and Malcolm X people have pitted
Speaker 2: against each other by nature of of course, this idea
Speaker 2: that you can only exist one way. However, I want
Speaker 2: to bring something to your attention that you may not
Speaker 2: have thought about. When Malcolm X entered the movement, he
Speaker 2: had already lived an entire life. He had been Detroit Red,
Speaker 2: he went to prison, and when he was Detroit Red
Speaker 2: living in Boston, he was in the underworld, and he
Speaker 2: saw the darkness of the world. He saw how dark
Speaker 2: it can get. He saw evil face to face. His
Speaker 2: father was killed by the clan. His mother was then
Speaker 2: rendered insane and taken away from him. He had already
Speaker 2: experienced darkness beyond theory, beyond allegory, but within his actual bones.
Speaker 2: And thus, when he was brought to the light via
Speaker 2: the study of the Nation of Islam and entered into
Speaker 2: the movement, he was carrying with him an intrinsic knowledge
Speaker 2: that came to meet his theory, and those two things
Speaker 2: mary each other and created the person that we came
Speaker 2: to love and respect. When we meet Martin Luther King Junior,
Speaker 2: he has not met darkness at that level yet. When
Speaker 2: we meet doctor Martin Luther King Junior, he is coming
Speaker 2: from a preserved community of blackness, where his father is
Speaker 2: the Reverend Martin Luther King Junior, and is a known
Speaker 2: person in the community for leadership. Now, yes, of course
Speaker 2: there is racism. Of course there is Jim Crow, don't
Speaker 2: get me wrong. However, there is still a very h
Speaker 2: there's a limited life experience to align with the allegory.
Speaker 1: That he's learning from his theology studies.
Speaker 2: And then he goes and he sees the world, and
Speaker 2: then he goes and he goes in front of the actual.
Speaker 1: Hate and race on a whole other level, and he
Speaker 1: is j and he is beaten.
Speaker 2: He has seen people that he knows to be good
Speaker 2: people murdered, and he starts to witness the darkness that
Speaker 2: Malcolm already had in his own life. And so by
Speaker 2: the time he gets to thirty nine, he has the
Speaker 2: same wisdom. And Malcolm, by the time he's assassinated, has
Speaker 2: gone and seen the world and now has the ability
Speaker 2: to understand, oh, there is kindness beyond our blackness, and
Speaker 2: we need to come together as a global understanding. And
Speaker 2: now they are actually in alignment, and that would have
Speaker 2: been an incredible force.
Speaker 1: For all of us, and that is why they were
Speaker 1: removed from this earth.
Speaker 2: Once you are able to align your experience and your
Speaker 2: theory and allegory, you come into awakening. That is why
Speaker 2: it is important to travel, That is why it is
Speaker 2: important to have people around you that have different perspectives,
Speaker 2: and that is why it is important to challenge yourself
Speaker 2: to go into spaces of uncomfortability, to stretch you, to
Speaker 2: let yoursels manifest in different environments. And we see this
Speaker 2: doctor King in his book The Last One Before he passed.
Speaker 1: Where do we go from here? Chaos or community? This
Speaker 1: is the book.
Speaker 2: This is what he should be remembered by, not simply
Speaker 2: by his dreams, but by his revelation, because the dream
Speaker 2: was the speech.
Speaker 1: This book right here is the revelation. It's the understanding.
Speaker 2: That's where we want to meet people at Like, don't
Speaker 2: talk to me about what I was saying four years ago,
Speaker 2: because I'm in the revelation phase, and that's where you
Speaker 2: want to meet people, that's where you want to come
Speaker 2: together with them. A lot of folks are not in
Speaker 2: the revelation phase, but they got a lot to say.
Speaker 2: And that's why I don't want to talk to them.
Speaker 2: People I want to talk. I don't want to talk
Speaker 2: with them. I want to talk to them if they
Speaker 2: want to hear me. I've heard it phrased as butterflies
Speaker 2: talking to caterpillars, and you can tell the difference. Now, listen,
Speaker 2: just because you're a caterpillar don't mean that you ain't trying.
Speaker 1: To become a butterfly. And that is when you are
Speaker 1: just consuming knowledge because you know there's somewhere else for
Speaker 1: you to go. So I feel like it's just.
Speaker 2: Important, important to not have those who have spoken for
Speaker 2: us and lived before us be presented to us by
Speaker 2: those who don't even want us to live. Okay, as
Speaker 2: we are living, I want us to find methods and
Speaker 2: ways to manage the world that we are in. And
Speaker 2: so we're gonna get into our level us up posthumous
Speaker 2: guest for the day are So today's level us of
Speaker 2: guests is a posthumous appearance by the great Late Dick Gregory.
Speaker 4: And you're coming on.
Speaker 25: When you laughing, and if you didn't do nothing but there,
Speaker 25: sit in the mirror for four hours once a week and.
Speaker 1: Did that, healing starts.
Speaker 4: Healing starts.
Speaker 25: You see, when I laugh, I use certain muscles, and
Speaker 25: those muscles pinch certain nerves, and those nerves trigger are
Speaker 25: all that's dropped into my body that keeps me younger.
Speaker 25: When I frown and tightened up, I use certain muscles
Speaker 25: and those muscles pin certain nerve that drops a gas
Speaker 25: into my body that will destroy the sales structure.
Speaker 1: So we are gonna do a smiling exercise.
Speaker 2: We're not gonna meditate for fifteen minutes, but we gonna
Speaker 2: smile for five minutes, well three minutes, because five minutes
Speaker 2: is a really long time.
Speaker 1: All right, everybody, let's get our smiles going. Hey, hey, hey, hey,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: Now, I want you in the comments to give me
Speaker 2: things that make you smile. I'll tell y'all things that
Speaker 2: make me smile, Seals make me smile, things that make
Speaker 2: me smile. Cars on don'ts, I love a vehicle on don'ts,
Speaker 2: things that make me smile, videos of people falling. I know,
Speaker 2: I know. And while you're doing this, wherever you are,
Speaker 2: I hope you're smiling, y'all. I hope you're smiling, y'all.
Speaker 2: Cats can't definitely make me smile.
Speaker 1: Sunsets. Okay, that's one.
Speaker 4: Minute down, y'all.
Speaker 1: We got two minutes to go standing up for marginalize people.
Speaker 1: I love it. Elephants make me smile.
Speaker 2: Since it as we're smiling, we're moving, we're letting that
Speaker 2: oil drop into our body. We're using those facial muscles
Speaker 2: that he talked about. Now, I want you to remember,
Speaker 2: sometimes bad things happened, and we are in a world
Speaker 2: where bad things are happening all the time.
Speaker 1: But we can still use smiling as.
Speaker 2: An exercise in the same way as yoga, even if
Speaker 2: it's not attached to our joy. That's why it is
Speaker 2: so important to understand the body. So when we think
Speaker 2: of things that may upset us, we can also challenge
Speaker 2: how we respond to those things by how we move
Speaker 2: our bodies. Now, I'm not saying that you need to
Speaker 2: smile at those things, but what I am saying is
Speaker 2: that you can create the practice of moving beyond those.
Speaker 1: Things into that which makes you smile.
Speaker 2: So when I would be recording and shooting for hours
Speaker 2: on end, one more minute, y'all, for hours on end,
Speaker 2: and I would need to keep up like this, Hey,
Speaker 2: I'm Amanda Seals. Let's get into the next guest, I
Speaker 2: would have to use some devices to bring this smile
Speaker 2: back to my face. And so mine was kittens and koalas,
Speaker 2: kittens and koalas. That became a mantra for the smile,
Speaker 2: kittens and kowalas, kittens and koalas, Because no matter how
Speaker 2: tired I am, no matter how frustrated.
Speaker 1: I am, no matter how sad I am I am,
Speaker 1: the thought of.
Speaker 2: Kittens and koalas kittens and kowalas kittens and koalas smiles
Speaker 2: on my face. I said, kittens and koalas kittens and
Speaker 2: koalas kittens and smiles on my face.
Speaker 1: I said, hey, hey, all right, we got thirty more seconds.
Speaker 4: Come on, y'all, smile it up.
Speaker 1: Smiles, smiles it up.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah, smile it up.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: Good job, good job.
Speaker 2: So remember that as a tool. Remember your body as
Speaker 2: a tool for challenging the effort to bring you into misery.
Speaker 2: Don't don't let this be something to tell you that
Speaker 2: you can't have grief. Yes, however, the dopamine gets unlicked
Speaker 2: because of you. You have chemicals in your body that
Speaker 2: get unlocked, and sometimes our bodies don't produce those chemicals
Speaker 2: at the level that we need you, and then we
Speaker 2: have to get medication, or we have to eat different food,
Speaker 2: or we may have to do a.
Speaker 1: Little bit more.
Speaker 2: You may need five minutes of smiling, but if you
Speaker 2: can try to give yourself three minutes of smile therapy
Speaker 2: every day, and I mean legit smile therapy every day.
Speaker 1: I will tell you when I was going through a depression,
Speaker 1: I learned about this and it saved me.
Speaker 2: It saved me because when you fake smile, you start laughing,
Speaker 2: because the fake smile of self is funny.
Speaker 1: You start cracking up at yourself fake smiling. Okay, you
Speaker 1: mean the merry life.
Speaker 2: So I want to give you all on this program
Speaker 2: ways in which you can genuinely and authentically address the
Speaker 2: system that is trying to keep you down. Sometimes that
Speaker 2: may be something physically in your body. Sometimes it might
Speaker 2: be something spiritual and mental and metaphysical, and sometimes it
Speaker 2: might be something actually tangibly radical. Nonetheless, that is what
Speaker 2: I consider to be a very very necessary aspect of.
Speaker 1: Where we're going, if we're going to keep going, you
Speaker 1: feel me ts So this week there's been a lot
Speaker 1: of chatter.
Speaker 2: About the use of the Black Panther name by a
Speaker 2: group in Philadelphia. We talked about it on the show
Speaker 2: last week, and we were all very excited. By the
Speaker 2: end of the day, I had spoken to the brother
Speaker 2: who was in the videos, and he I offered to
Speaker 2: come through when I'm in Philadelphia. He said that basically
Speaker 2: he's from Lansing, Michigan, and that he is who they
Speaker 2: send out to start chapters for the Black Panther Party.
Speaker 1: And he said that he.
Speaker 14: Is.
Speaker 2: I asked them, what would you what are What is
Speaker 2: a lesson that you all have learned this go round
Speaker 2: that you are applying. No, I said, what is a
Speaker 2: lesson that you have learned from the past Panthers that
Speaker 2: you are applying to the present. And he said, well,
Speaker 2: our recruitment takes longer. And you know, by the end
Speaker 2: of this conversation, what I had gathered was information, And
Speaker 2: for me, I'm showing up to the conversation with a
Speaker 2: blank slate. So I'm going to show up in kindness,
Speaker 2: and I'm going to show up in openness. And you know,
Speaker 2: I also thought that they were legitimate, so I'm showing
Speaker 2: up with the respect.
Speaker 1: That they are the Panthers. I then slept on it, and.
Speaker 2: By the next day, my intuition started to say, actually, no,
Speaker 2: that night, my intuition started to say that I couldn't
Speaker 2: even sleep, and then I forced myself to go to sleep.
Speaker 2: The next day, communication started coming to me that I
Speaker 2: hadn't even reached out for, and it was letting me
Speaker 2: know that he had not been co signed by the
Speaker 2: Panthers as a collective, but by an individual panther in Seattle,
Speaker 2: and that that panther had given him permission to use
Speaker 2: the panther's name and use their likeness in the work
Speaker 2: that he's doing.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: It's not to say that he hasn't done activism work
Speaker 2: in the past. It's not to say that they haven't
Speaker 2: passed out food. However, what I want to bring to
Speaker 2: our attention in this particular moment is the use of
Speaker 2: a trusted name, when what I want to bring to
Speaker 2: attention in this moment is the responsibility of using a
Speaker 2: trusted name. There is incredible weight attached to the Black
Speaker 2: Panther name and movement, because the Black Panthers were the largest,
Speaker 2: most organized resistance movement in this nation.
Speaker 1: To ever get them shooken up so much so that
Speaker 1: they put forth great effort.
Speaker 2: To disseminate them, to incriminate them, to exile them, to
Speaker 2: incarcerate them. They became prisoners of wars in this nation.
Speaker 1: So to lead with the.
Speaker 2: Black Panthers as your mantle carries something very big. It
Speaker 2: is not something to be used lightly. It is not
Speaker 2: pop culture. Seeing Beyonce have you know dancers dressed as
Speaker 2: Black Panthers in the NFL, that is a pop culture rendering.
Speaker 1: The Black Panthers are not pop culture.
Speaker 2: People like Swiss Beats and Alicia Keys dressing up as
Speaker 2: Black Panthers for Halloween is a pop culture rendering. The
Speaker 2: Black Panther Party is not pop culture. It is resistance.
Speaker 2: It is a revolutionary movement, a socialist, Marxist Leninist organization
Speaker 2: that was created for the protection and advancement of black
Speaker 2: people as well as calling for the end of oppression
Speaker 2: of all oppressed peoples. Therefore, we cannot simply just take
Speaker 2: whenever anybody calls themselves a black Panther as just bar none,
Speaker 2: because we also have to understand that this nation has
Speaker 2: a history of using black bodies to start and to
Speaker 2: wage their wars.
Speaker 1: And there is a war on the horizon.
Speaker 2: When you're seeing all the geopolitical movements that are happening
Speaker 2: around in the United States, is at the center of
Speaker 2: all of them, you better believe it'll be at the
Speaker 2: center of the war on the horizon. And who will
Speaker 2: be out there first? Well, they're incarcerating and deporting all
Speaker 2: of the round people. So who do you think they're
Speaker 2: trying to get out there to be used to co
Speaker 2: opt for their regime change.
Speaker 1: Yes, it will be us. Listen. The history is long.
Speaker 2: Haitians, specifically the Chazieu Volantel de Saint Domin were a
Speaker 2: regiment of free men of color that fought alongside American
Speaker 2: and French forces the ninth in the seventeen seventy nine
Speaker 2: Siege of Savannah during the American Revolution.
Speaker 1: They were there. We know about the black folks in
Speaker 1: the Civil War. We know that they then made slavery
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 2: They made slavery unlawful in the rebel States only remember
Speaker 2: this in the rebel States, only.
Speaker 1: So that they would garner the force of black freed.
Speaker 2: Slaves joining the Union, sorry, black runaway slaves joining the
Speaker 2: Union for their freedom.
Speaker 1: It was still legal in places like Ohio and Kentucky.
Speaker 1: Is it Kentucky or Missouri? It was still legal.
Speaker 2: However, they made the rebel States no longer lawful in
Speaker 2: slavery so that the black folks that were there would
Speaker 2: feel compelled to risk their lives to escape and put
Speaker 2: their lives on the line to attain freedom. There is
Speaker 2: a history of using black bodies to fight the wars
Speaker 2: in the United States. There is a war coming and
Speaker 2: there is an attempt to use black bodies. It will happen,
Speaker 2: and we have to be incredibly vigilant. At some point
Speaker 2: we have to learn. So when I see a brother
Speaker 2: out there dressed in the costume of a black panther, however,
Speaker 2: not being co signed by chairman fred Hampton Junior or
Speaker 2: by Fredrika Newton Willie, I mean Huey P. Newton's wife,
Speaker 2: who is still alive and was in my comment section
Speaker 2: saying thank you for posting this.
Speaker 1: No, when I see that my Yesha Newton, Huey P.
Speaker 1: Newton's niece, is literally taking legal action.
Speaker 2: Against this individual's set up because she's claiming that this
Speaker 2: is a possibility for defamation, I say we have to
Speaker 2: do this type of vigilance because we are consistently under.
Speaker 7: A psyop that studies us. Do you know that they
Speaker 7: study us, They know what we like, they know what
Speaker 7: we trust, and they use it.
Speaker 1: To use us.
Speaker 2: So, no, you can't be out here just throwing chairman
Speaker 2: in front of your name and throwing a beret on
Speaker 2: your head and talking about where the Black Panthers. You
Speaker 2: can do the work you're doing without using a name
Speaker 2: that hasn't been given to you through the access of
Speaker 2: the entire national organization. One Black Panther in Seattle cannot
Speaker 2: give this brother the credibility of the entire legacy of
Speaker 2: the Black Panther Party. And let me also a that
Speaker 2: when people were saying, well you should talk to him directly.
Speaker 2: I did talk to him directly, and then when I
Speaker 2: posted that video, he sent me DMS saying that I
Speaker 2: was two faced because I was nice when I spoke
Speaker 2: to him, but then I was bad mouthing him on
Speaker 2: the internet. And what I want to tell y'all is
Speaker 2: that everyone should be nice when they speak to you
Speaker 2: the first time, because they don't know what you really own. However,
Speaker 2: if from the time they spoke to you, they then
Speaker 2: learned that you own some bullshit, they have every right
Speaker 2: to speak truth to that, versus owing you some level
Speaker 2: of protection and cover that you are no longer deserving of.
Speaker 1: Got me fucked up? He Hey, gome now show you.
Speaker 2: Show your love, show your love, show you love.
Speaker 24: I say, be in the cash up bay, drop for supperbaday,
