1
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Talking to the beepa.

2
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:24.280
<v Speaker 2>Decogonizing mind, connecting them downs.

3
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:27.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm shine, you.

4
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:49.679
<v Speaker 1>Should deep shot. I want to talk about truth because

5
00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I feel so do y'all?

6
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:03.439
<v Speaker 4>Like?

7
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:06.159
<v Speaker 1>Why okay?

8
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Who in here is still talking about voting as like

9
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:32.599
<v Speaker 2>a method? You know? Like these people killed another person today?

10
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 2>Are y'all still on some like if we just vote

11
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 2>the right person, we're good. I need to know, like

12
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.400
<v Speaker 2>like they pop buddy right there?

13
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 1>So are y'all still on that? Are y'all still paying taxes?

14
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 2>Like?

15
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>What? What?

16
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:02.560
<v Speaker 2>What?

17
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:03.159
<v Speaker 1>Actually?

18
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.280
<v Speaker 2>No, you don't need Malcolm X. You don't need Malcolm X.

19
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:24.919
<v Speaker 2>Y'all don't even okay, let me let me not, let

20
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:25.759
<v Speaker 2>y'all work me up.

21
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Let me not, let y'all work me up.

22
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 2>So okay, how many of y'all feel capable of identifying

23
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.599
<v Speaker 2>a true truth that's not in front of your face?

24
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:09.639
<v Speaker 1>So this is a dumb question.

25
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:12.719
<v Speaker 2>Why wouldn't we need a leader that actually comes outside

26
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:19.120
<v Speaker 2>and aids us? Do you see an individual leader in Minnesota?

27
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:21.520
<v Speaker 1>And the people who.

28
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Say that have absolutely Like, I don't think y'all even

29
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.120
<v Speaker 2>know what Malcolm X did.

30
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 1>That's the comedy for me.

31
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:34.800
<v Speaker 2>People be running Malcolm X's name all the time, acting

32
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:41.319
<v Speaker 2>as if Malcolm X was, you know, out here leading marches.

33
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:42.919
<v Speaker 1>Alcohl like Malcolm X.

34
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Like I always see this, I always see this, like

35
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:56.639
<v Speaker 2>Malcolm X's You know, first of all, Malcolm X was

36
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:59.719
<v Speaker 2>able to be assassinated because folks wasn't messing with Malcolm X.

37
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.520
<v Speaker 2>So let's start there, all right, That's what he was

38
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.960
<v Speaker 2>able to be assassinated. Malcolm X wasn't doing marches and

39
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:12.840
<v Speaker 2>getting arrested.

40
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 1>What are y'all talking about?

41
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:22.160
<v Speaker 2>That's not what he was doing. Malcolm X was with

42
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 2>the nation. Malcolm X was strolling up with the nation

43
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:35.519
<v Speaker 2>with the FOI the Fruit of Islam, an organized, militarized,

44
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:45.959
<v Speaker 2>trained force. Malcolm X wasn't at the Montgomery boycott. Malcolm

45
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:51.759
<v Speaker 2>X wasn't at Selma. He was doing something else. So like,

46
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:55.680
<v Speaker 2>I just need everybody to like understand that y'all be

47
00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:00.879
<v Speaker 2>making up romanticized versions of things and it's really not

48
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:05.560
<v Speaker 2>helpful to you, Which is why I said truth matters,

49
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:15.519
<v Speaker 2>because even the concept of the Black Panthers has been misrepresented, disrepresented, etc.

50
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:26.319
<v Speaker 2>And when you all talk about the past so often,

51
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.959
<v Speaker 2>you're doing so without regarding the fact that we have covered.

52
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.279
<v Speaker 1>An immense amount.

53
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Of ground technologically in terms of changes and shifts.

54
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.319
<v Speaker 1>Say her name is reserved for black women killed by

55
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the police. Stop saying that.

56
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:51.240
<v Speaker 2>In an alignment with Renee good. Stop Say her name

57
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:57.519
<v Speaker 2>was created a movement created by Professor Kimberlee Crenshaw in

58
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:01.680
<v Speaker 2>the wake of Brianna. Okay, so like, cut it out,

59
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Breonna Taylor, So please, truth matters. These things matter, and

60
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:14.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna tell you particularly why they matter, because we

61
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:19.920
<v Speaker 2>live in a time where the distruth, where the falsehoods

62
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:28.199
<v Speaker 2>are actively being weaponized against you. So when you know

63
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:32.480
<v Speaker 2>something is being used against you, it has to become

64
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:44.879
<v Speaker 2>your commitment, your imperative that things are presented the way

65
00:06:44.920 --> 00:07:13.519
<v Speaker 2>that they are meant to be. Get this FBA bullshit

66
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:18.079
<v Speaker 2>out of my comments, all that foundational Black American FBA shit.

67
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.480
<v Speaker 2>That's FBI that was created by a nigga who don't

68
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:22.759
<v Speaker 2>give a fuck about black people.

69
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:35.839
<v Speaker 1>So again, I want to ask.

70
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:40.959
<v Speaker 2>Who in in here really thinks that they have the

71
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:47.480
<v Speaker 2>ability to read between the lines, because I feel like

72
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:51.319
<v Speaker 2>one of the things that's happening is so many folks.

73
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Are genuinely.

74
00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Tie tied to a sense of security that prevents them

75
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:09.160
<v Speaker 2>from being able to take the next step forward, Like

76
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.519
<v Speaker 2>when I see people say like, this is why we

77
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:18.360
<v Speaker 2>have to vote for, you lost me. The minute you

78
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.199
<v Speaker 2>say this is why we have to vote for, You've

79
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:25.560
<v Speaker 2>lost me. You've lost me. Anyone who still believes in

80
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.639
<v Speaker 2>electoral politics in twenty twenty six, I'm looking.

81
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:29.399
<v Speaker 1>At you confused.

82
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.799
<v Speaker 2>In twenty twenty six, the year of the All Gods

83
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:38.200
<v Speaker 2>and the New, I'm I'm genuinely like, how how can

84
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:43.080
<v Speaker 2>you still consider electoral politics to be a system that

85
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.840
<v Speaker 2>is of use for change?

86
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:56.159
<v Speaker 1>It's not how? And so the question becomes with then

87
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.559
<v Speaker 1>what do we do well?

88
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.759
<v Speaker 2>I am a very big believer that when you identify

89
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.279
<v Speaker 2>that a system is not effective, you then have to

90
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:13.480
<v Speaker 2>look at, well, what makes that system function. And then

91
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:17.480
<v Speaker 2>once you identify what makes that system function, you then

92
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:27.039
<v Speaker 2>have to figure out how to deplete or demolish those

93
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:32.840
<v Speaker 2>things that make the system function. This is not a

94
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:41.480
<v Speaker 2>world that always had capitalism. Capitalism is new. Do you

95
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:48.120
<v Speaker 2>understand how new capitalism is? How new you are? This

96
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:49.919
<v Speaker 2>is not a word. Oh my, I don't want to

97
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:51.440
<v Speaker 2>do not I don't.

98
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Want to see nothing here about democrats. I don't want

99
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.120
<v Speaker 1>to see nothing here about democrats.

100
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:02.039
<v Speaker 2>Because I need y'all to stop thinking that democrats or anything. Please,

101
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:09.159
<v Speaker 2>like I'm holding my titties. Please please stop. Ooh, someone said,

102
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.080
<v Speaker 2>tone it down, blocked, get out of here, like please?

103
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Are real? Do you ever ask yourself.

104
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Where did the Constitution and the Bill of Rights come from?

105
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:49.080
<v Speaker 1>No, because you've been.

106
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:58.559
<v Speaker 2>Told that it came from these guys who got together

107
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:09.759
<v Speaker 2>and put it together. What I said about Kiki Palmer

108
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:14.279
<v Speaker 2>was insane. She's been an example of hard work that

109
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:14.879
<v Speaker 2>pays off.

110
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:17.960
<v Speaker 1>The fuck did I say about Kiki Palmer?

111
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:28.480
<v Speaker 2>I want you to think about this. I want you

112
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:30.679
<v Speaker 2>to really think about this tonight. I want you to

113
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.120
<v Speaker 2>go to sleep thinking about this. I want you to

114
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:43.159
<v Speaker 2>ask yourself, genuinely, how much of what you have been

115
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:49.840
<v Speaker 2>told recently has been the truth?

116
00:11:52.320 --> 00:12:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay? Then I want you to ask yourself how much

117
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:13.480
<v Speaker 1>of what you were taught about the last sixty years

118
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:19.279
<v Speaker 1>was true?

119
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Right?

120
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I want you to ask yourself that.

121
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:31.159
<v Speaker 2>How much about the last sixty years has been true?

122
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Right?

123
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Because what happens is you've been told something and then

124
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:38.399
<v Speaker 2>like twenty years later, you find out like, oh dang,

125
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:39.759
<v Speaker 2>that's not how that happened.

126
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:50.799
<v Speaker 1>So do you think honestly.

127
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:58.159
<v Speaker 2>That if what you've been told in the last twelve

128
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:03.480
<v Speaker 2>months wasn't true, and that what you haven't and what

129
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.759
<v Speaker 2>you've been told in the last sixty years.

130
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:12.919
<v Speaker 1>Majority of it wasn't true.

131
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Do you honestly think that anything told to you by

132
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:30.919
<v Speaker 2>this country's controlled media, by its controlled systems.

133
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:35.559
<v Speaker 1>Are the truth?

134
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:44.159
<v Speaker 2>Now, what I want you to do is ask yourself

135
00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:53.480
<v Speaker 2>this question. I hope you're writing these down. Why would

136
00:13:53.519 --> 00:14:03.679
<v Speaker 2>people empower want people who do don't have power to

137
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:20.919
<v Speaker 2>know the truth of their efforts. I want these questions

138
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:23.919
<v Speaker 2>to be used as an exercise because you are going

139
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:29.600
<v Speaker 2>to be bombarded with falsehoods. You are currently being bombarded

140
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:31.600
<v Speaker 2>with falsehoods, and it is.

141
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:36.039
<v Speaker 1>Going to require you to be fearless.

142
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Because in order for you to know the truth, you're

143
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:47.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna have to understand that you're not safe. And that's

144
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:51.639
<v Speaker 2>the lie that you've been telling yourself, and it's the

145
00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:59.759
<v Speaker 2>lie they've been telling you that you're safe, that these

146
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:03.759
<v Speaker 2>peop people who are in positions of power.

147
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Care about you.

148
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:18.080
<v Speaker 2>So if you know that they're not telling you the truth,

149
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:26.000
<v Speaker 2>they're not really caring about you. The lie that we

150
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:32.840
<v Speaker 2>tell ourselves is that they're not that bad. They can't

151
00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:37.480
<v Speaker 2>be that bad, even when it's staring us in the face.

152
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:46.039
<v Speaker 2>You're going to have to see the truth for what

153
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:52.080
<v Speaker 2>it is, and it's gonna be scary. I saw a

154
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:57.919
<v Speaker 2>man shot and kill today, and I saw them lie

155
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:09.759
<v Speaker 2>about it within ten fucking minutes. And people will still

156
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:17.120
<v Speaker 2>want to have a conversation about Republicans and Democrats. And

157
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:20.080
<v Speaker 2>then I want you to ask yourself, are any of

158
00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:31.440
<v Speaker 2>the people that you see in power smart people? I mean,

159
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:36.919
<v Speaker 2>really ask yourself that not only rich. I want you

160
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:42.919
<v Speaker 2>to ask yourself, are any of these people smart people?

161
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:50.799
<v Speaker 1>The reason this is so imperative.

162
00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Is because when you are an educator, right and someone

163
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:05.039
<v Speaker 2>turns in a paper and its seeds their capabilities, you immediately.

164
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Know that someone else aided them. You immediately know they

165
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:14.319
<v Speaker 1>didn't do this as themselves.

166
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:25.960
<v Speaker 2>This is an imperative peace to resistance understanding that the

167
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:32.440
<v Speaker 2>people that y'all keep blaming are not the ones running

168
00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:33.599
<v Speaker 2>the show.

169
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:36.480
<v Speaker 1>They're the ones carrying it out.

170
00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Roland Martin doesn't want me on his show because Roland

171
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Martin is still out here simping for Democrats. Roland Martin

172
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:50.440
<v Speaker 2>owes me a fucking apology because I've been a real one,

173
00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:53.400
<v Speaker 2>say in the real shit while the whole time these

174
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:57.559
<v Speaker 2>motherfuckers called it harm reduction instead of saying, yo.

175
00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Are you niggas gonna actually do something stop this? But

176
00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:04.000
<v Speaker 1>they can't. They can't do nothing to stop this.

177
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.759
<v Speaker 2>Because they're run and paid for by the same people.

178
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:17.279
<v Speaker 2>So no, I will not be going on Roland Martin

179
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:23.640
<v Speaker 2>show because these people have spent years.

180
00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:26.559
<v Speaker 1>And I'm pissed about it because I was.

181
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:31.519
<v Speaker 2>One of the people being convinced that we gotta be Democrats,

182
00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:34.519
<v Speaker 2>we gotta vote for the Democrats. They have me questioning

183
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:42.279
<v Speaker 2>my intelligence. Only though, do further research and speak to

184
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:47.480
<v Speaker 2>people outside of the black infosphere and understand that home

185
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:51.160
<v Speaker 2>war now, this is not.

186
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:58.480
<v Speaker 1>This is not for us. We are being used. We're

187
00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:01.039
<v Speaker 1>not being useful, being used.

188
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:14.960
<v Speaker 4>M hm, Roland Martin, Angela ride Joy read all of them.

189
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:16.039
<v Speaker 1>Can't. We can't.

190
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:18.599
<v Speaker 2>We can't tell people not to push a genocide because

191
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:21.000
<v Speaker 2>then we'll end up getting a president who's going to

192
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:24.200
<v Speaker 2>be really bad for us. I mean, I just I woo.

193
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:34.559
<v Speaker 2>I should have put flower in that of me the

194
00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:35.319
<v Speaker 2>stalk out of it.

195
00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:36.160
<v Speaker 1>God damn it.

196
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:56.119
<v Speaker 2>This whole thing has been an exercise in bamboozlement since

197
00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:01.759
<v Speaker 2>its beginning. The United States begins as a bamboos as

198
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:06.720
<v Speaker 2>an exercise in bamboozlement. And we are only now at

199
00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:12.079
<v Speaker 2>a point where there's enough information for people to be

200
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:15.400
<v Speaker 2>able to now put things together. And this is why

201
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:19.200
<v Speaker 2>TikTok is now owned by a Zionist. This is why

202
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:25.480
<v Speaker 2>they're all saying the same thing about Zionism, which is

203
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:27.240
<v Speaker 2>we got to get folks to stop looking at the

204
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:31.559
<v Speaker 2>internet because they're really realizing that Zionism is a bad thing. Yeah,

205
00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:36.400
<v Speaker 2>and it's been running the show since day one. It

206
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:41.920
<v Speaker 2>may have been called something different. Did you get bamboozled

207
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:42.880
<v Speaker 2>in Christianity?

208
00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:44.599
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely?

209
00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:51.359
<v Speaker 2>Yes. None of this is pure and that's the key

210
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:53.920
<v Speaker 2>thing that not enough of us are understanding.

211
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:13.079
<v Speaker 1>None of this is pure. So therefore you have to

212
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:14.480
<v Speaker 1>fortify yourself.

213
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:28.559
<v Speaker 2>There you go, Tyrant for Colorant, What do I think

214
00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:33.319
<v Speaker 2>needs to happen? Is happening in Minnesota? It is a

215
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:38.680
<v Speaker 2>leader full movement. It is a leader full movement. It

216
00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:42.319
<v Speaker 2>is people who are out there not because someone told

217
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:44.640
<v Speaker 2>them to be, but because their spirit told them to be.

218
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:49.000
<v Speaker 2>That's why they're out there, because their spirit and soul

219
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:52.680
<v Speaker 2>said I should be out here, Yeah, I should be

220
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:56.079
<v Speaker 2>out here, Not because the ninety two percent said so

221
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:59.160
<v Speaker 2>or not to no because they said that's what I

222
00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:02.559
<v Speaker 2>should be. And all those white people who are out there,

223
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:07.119
<v Speaker 2>and anybody else who felt who felt they should join them.

224
00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:11.160
<v Speaker 2>I am praying. I am sending them energy. I am

225
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:12.920
<v Speaker 2>speaking into.

226
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Existence their protection, all of the things. I love.

227
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:23.240
<v Speaker 2>When people say, well, you ain't outside, I just did

228
00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:25.920
<v Speaker 2>a free book tour. I just did a free book

229
00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:29.039
<v Speaker 2>tour where I went all around this goddamn country and

230
00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:32.480
<v Speaker 2>spoke into the spirit for free. So give me a

231
00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:44.200
<v Speaker 2>fucking break. You ain't never seen Malcolm X on a

232
00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:45.000
<v Speaker 2>front line.

233
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what I'm talking. Y'all.

234
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:51.559
<v Speaker 2>Ain't never seen Malcolm X, quote unquote out there, y'all

235
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:54.240
<v Speaker 2>be in your minds, Malcolm X is a black panther.

236
00:22:57.079 --> 00:22:59.960
<v Speaker 2>That's how people imagine Malcolm X. The in people's mind,

237
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Malcolm X is a black panther. I'm like, everything you've

238
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:09.440
<v Speaker 2>seen about Malcolm X is him speaking at a podium

239
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:13.559
<v Speaker 2>or him speaking on an interview.

240
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:16.200
<v Speaker 1>And then they'll come and say to me, you ain't

241
00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:16.960
<v Speaker 1>doing shit.

242
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Like you can't see the other comments because Instagram considers

243
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:47.039
<v Speaker 2>me a extremist. I saw someone say that we're living

244
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:52.799
<v Speaker 2>in the twilight zone. They're taking down the signs about

245
00:23:52.799 --> 00:24:00.960
<v Speaker 2>slavery from the Parks Department. The twilight zone is the

246
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:04.359
<v Speaker 2>portion of time that we've been living in where the

247
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:09.039
<v Speaker 2>country even bothered to pretend it wasn't racist. That is

248
00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:14.319
<v Speaker 2>the twilight zone. The rest of this time is what

249
00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:18.599
<v Speaker 2>this country actually is and what it has been seeking

250
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:19.039
<v Speaker 2>to be.

251
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:23.079
<v Speaker 1>From its inception.

252
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Those of us who grew up in the eighties and nineties,

253
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:30.960
<v Speaker 2>we got to grow up in the twilight zone. Millennials

254
00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:34.039
<v Speaker 2>grew up in a twilight zone. We got to grow

255
00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:39.799
<v Speaker 2>up at a time where blackness was everywhere. Like somehow

256
00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:44.200
<v Speaker 2>we like slip through a wrinkle in time.

257
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:50.759
<v Speaker 1>And that wrinkle is closed.

258
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:55.640
<v Speaker 2>I was on Insecure and I remember doing an interview

259
00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:57.319
<v Speaker 2>and someone was like, you know, I feel like we're

260
00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:00.319
<v Speaker 2>in a black renaissance. I was like, why, They're like,

261
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:03.039
<v Speaker 2>because there's so much black television. I'm like, what are

262
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:06.559
<v Speaker 2>you talking about? Like, because you're interviewing me and I'm

263
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:09.960
<v Speaker 2>on a black TV show. I'm on a black TV show.

264
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:11.240
<v Speaker 1>And when we do our read.

265
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:15.799
<v Speaker 2>Throughs, the writers have to laugh so loud at every

266
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:20.640
<v Speaker 2>joke because all of the executives are white people. Maybe

267
00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:24.359
<v Speaker 2>aside from one or two, but all of the decision

268
00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:27.440
<v Speaker 2>making executives are white people, and so they have to

269
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:30.880
<v Speaker 2>laugh extra loud at the jokes because those people don't

270
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:32.359
<v Speaker 2>understand the humor of.

271
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:33.160
<v Speaker 1>The show.

272
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Because they're literally not black. No, black people have not

273
00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:52.200
<v Speaker 2>always known this country was fascist. This is another farce

274
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:55.039
<v Speaker 2>that we need to get clear. Black people in this

275
00:25:55.160 --> 00:26:03.920
<v Speaker 2>country have not thought or existed as a monolith ever. Ever,

276
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:13.240
<v Speaker 2>there have always been black folks who are advancing the

277
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:19.480
<v Speaker 2>effort of fascism, and there have always been black folks

278
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:23.480
<v Speaker 2>who say, sh we see the fascism, but.

279
00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:26.079
<v Speaker 1>You're doing too much.

280
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:56.160
<v Speaker 5>They killed that man in cold blood today, but you

281
00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:03.279
<v Speaker 5>know what, I.

282
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Live in New York and they let that man, Daniel Penny,

283
00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:08.599
<v Speaker 2>kill that houseless man on that train in cold blood

284
00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:11.400
<v Speaker 2>cause it's a cold blooded place.

285
00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:17.160
<v Speaker 1>This is a cold blooded place. Don't lie to yourself.

286
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Don't lie to yourself like you're able to, just like

287
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:23.279
<v Speaker 2>you aren't able to just walk by houseless people and

288
00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:24.680
<v Speaker 2>drive by houseless.

289
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:25.359
<v Speaker 1>People and not care nothing.

290
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Like if we're gonna be talking about truth, like keep

291
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:35.759
<v Speaker 2>it a buck, you feel me, keep it a buck.

292
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Now. This is a cold ass place.

293
00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:47.799
<v Speaker 2>And people sat there and watched that nigga kill Jordan

294
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:58.839
<v Speaker 2>Neely cause he was talking loud. Do you even think

295
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:08.400
<v Speaker 2>twice when you see a houseless person outside? I had

296
00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:13.039
<v Speaker 2>an ex who used to be so bothered by how

297
00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:22.039
<v Speaker 2>bothered I was about others. This used to really annoy him, like,

298
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:43.839
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, this is a coal last place, This

299
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:45.319
<v Speaker 2>a coald ass place.

300
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:49.160
<v Speaker 1>How are you gonna warm it up?

301
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:58.720
<v Speaker 2>M Like, for a second, I really got in my

302
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:01.640
<v Speaker 2>head because it was like, like, they really murk buddy

303
00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:06.400
<v Speaker 2>today and I'm over here in my feelings, man, if

304
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:11.519
<v Speaker 2>your feelings Amanda, And then I remembered no, no, because

305
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:16.319
<v Speaker 2>my feelings are what have kept me from being able

306
00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:28.720
<v Speaker 2>to stay indoctrinated. So my feelings do matter and I

307
00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:31.079
<v Speaker 2>gotta protect them. And that's what made me come on

308
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:38.240
<v Speaker 2>here to talk to y'all. You should be horrified today.

309
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:43.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh thanks mister shar If Shara and the new movement

310
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:47.319
<v Speaker 2>should always be asking yourself, what would I have done

311
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:50.359
<v Speaker 2>if I was there? What would I have done? What

312
00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:52.119
<v Speaker 2>would I have done if I was there? Would I've

313
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:57.000
<v Speaker 2>run when the gun went off? What would I have done?

314
00:29:57.359 --> 00:29:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Have I talked to my kids about what's going on?

315
00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:04.839
<v Speaker 1>People asking you think this is the beginning of a

316
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:05.440
<v Speaker 1>civil war.

317
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:25.400
<v Speaker 2>A civil war is when, well, they'll they'll they'll say

318
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:28.200
<v Speaker 2>it's when opposing ideologies, but that's not really what it is.

319
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:35.920
<v Speaker 2>It's when one group feels like they're losing power.

320
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:39.079
<v Speaker 1>And so.

321
00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:49.039
<v Speaker 2>They strike up arms to retain power. But the piece

322
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:54.880
<v Speaker 2>of the pie that continues to be overlooked is that

323
00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:59.400
<v Speaker 2>there is a group above those groups that benefits from that,

324
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:04.599
<v Speaker 2>and we have.

325
00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Yet to address those people. Y'all Catholics.

326
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Let the Catholic Church keep going after they pediphiled all

327
00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:20.519
<v Speaker 2>them kids.

328
00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:24.839
<v Speaker 1>You know how crazy that is. Y'all niggas kept going

329
00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:25.359
<v Speaker 1>to church.

330
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:43.480
<v Speaker 2>That's crazy. That's crazy, that's crazy. That's the type of

331
00:31:43.519 --> 00:31:44.519
<v Speaker 2>shit I'm talking about.

332
00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Nuts.

333
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Miranda for what you all are doing in Minnesota.

334
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:35.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm just saying, like that's the equivalent of like,

335
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:39.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Comlin didn't have anything to.

336
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:55.599
<v Speaker 1>Do with the genocide. Crazy crazy. Minnesota's are still outside.

337
00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:00.160
<v Speaker 2>Because I saw they had built up a barricade with

338
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:01.160
<v Speaker 2>the trash cans.

339
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:39.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm reading the comments.

340
00:33:39.039 --> 00:34:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, everybody in Minneapolis, you are a testament, you are

341
00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:27.719
<v Speaker 2>an inspiration.

342
00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:31.239
<v Speaker 1>And for the record, they always were.

343
00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:35.639
<v Speaker 2>Minneapolis burnt down the precinct during George Floyd. Okay, I

344
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:44.280
<v Speaker 2>don't think y'all remember that. And when we're talking about leaders,

345
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:49.320
<v Speaker 2>these people are not leaders who consider themselves politicians.

346
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:52.000
<v Speaker 1>They're not leaders. If they was really about it, they

347
00:34:52.000 --> 00:35:01.119
<v Speaker 1>would be like, you know what, fuck this shit. There

348
00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:03.679
<v Speaker 1>should be ship leaking all over the place right now.

00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Somebody's talking about we need Jesus, do we Where is he?

350
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Y'all keep thinking Jesus is gonna come down from the sky.

351
00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:27.440
<v Speaker 1>If you need Jesus.

352
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:32.199
<v Speaker 2>And you need to activate Jesus in your body, if it's.

353
00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Flesh of my flesh, then He's already in you. Who

362
00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:33.960
<v Speaker 2>For the record, I ask myself every day, am I

363
00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:39.199
<v Speaker 2>doing enough? Because because I honestly feel like I feel

364
00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:41.519
<v Speaker 2>like my My role in this is to figure out

365
00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:47.519
<v Speaker 2>what to do, and the process of that feels like stasis.

366
00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I do.

367
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:17.719
<v Speaker 2>I love beverages. I don't mean drinks. I just mean beverages.

368
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:53.679
<v Speaker 6>I'm gonna eat this meal that I made.

369
00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:55.599
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow is Sunday.

370
00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:59.119
<v Speaker 2>On Sundays, I get up and I do my twenty

371
00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:01.280
<v Speaker 2>minutes of movement, but I do twenty minutes of like

374
00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:17.519
<v Speaker 2>mountain climbers. Someone said, I know I'll be dead before

375
00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:18.119
<v Speaker 2>it gets better.

376
00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:18.679
<v Speaker 1>I won't be.

377
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:24.559
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm, I won't be dead before it gets better.

378
00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:25.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna see it get better.

379
00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you that I'm not claiming that I was.

380
00:39:33.079 --> 00:39:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I was claiming that before, but I'm not claiming that

381
00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:35.719
<v Speaker 1>no more.

382
00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:39.239
<v Speaker 2>I was at the YMCA and this lady was talking

383
00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:40.960
<v Speaker 2>about she was going to the birthday party of one

384
00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:45.000
<v Speaker 2>hundred and seven year old woman. Now, by the way,

385
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:47.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm I don't really want to live through one hundred

386
00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:50.440
<v Speaker 2>and seven. But I was talking to the old ladies

387
00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:55.199
<v Speaker 2>and they were like, yeah, I mean they seventy five,

388
00:39:55.320 --> 00:39:58.320
<v Speaker 2>they young compared to this life. They talk about that

389
00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:06.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to do a party for a from sell them.

390
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:08.800
<v Speaker 2>And then one of them said she was from South Africa,

391
00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:15.480
<v Speaker 2>and y'all, it took ooh man, it took everything.

392
00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:21.920
<v Speaker 1>In me not to turn that conversation up.

393
00:40:25.559 --> 00:40:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Because that lady was in her seventies and you know

394
00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:31.800
<v Speaker 2>she was there for apartheid.

395
00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:45.400
<v Speaker 1>I had to really choose. I had to choose peace.

396
00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I had to choose peace because I really could have

397
00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:57.599
<v Speaker 1>turned it up, y'all. It was one against foe. I

398
00:40:57.639 --> 00:41:02.880
<v Speaker 1>can handle that. One against foe. I could handle that.

399
00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:11.440
<v Speaker 2>But I say, you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna let

400
00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:13.559
<v Speaker 2>it ride.

401
00:41:14.760 --> 00:41:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll say, I'm gonna let this lady live.

402
00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:18.480
<v Speaker 2>But I made a pact with myself that if I

403
00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:23.920
<v Speaker 2>catch you again, I'm gonna be like, so, when you

404
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:26.840
<v Speaker 2>were living in apartheid South Africa, what was your role?

405
00:41:33.639 --> 00:41:34.039
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm.

406
00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:39.960
<v Speaker 2>So that's that's that's at the ready, y'all. I got

407
00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:45.119
<v Speaker 2>that in my back pocket. Next time I see her. Bam,

408
00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:46.199
<v Speaker 2>I thought I was.

409
00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:47.199
<v Speaker 1>Slipping, didn't you.

410
00:41:47.239 --> 00:41:56.159
<v Speaker 2>Nope, I'll see your take on twenty Yeah, she said that,

411
00:41:56.519 --> 00:41:59.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, because I'll be in there and they don't

412
00:41:59.159 --> 00:42:00.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, they don't know that they don't know the story,

413
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:04.159
<v Speaker 2>they don't know what it is. Someone said, how do

414
00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:10.880
<v Speaker 2>I sustain my hope for the future, because I really

415
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:13.800
<v Speaker 2>do be getting what I want and I don't want the.

416
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Shit to end.

417
00:42:18.239 --> 00:42:20.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't want I don't want to ship the end.

418
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:25.599
<v Speaker 2>If none of us collectively don't want to ship to end,

419
00:42:26.079 --> 00:42:29.320
<v Speaker 2>then we will create what we need to do to

420
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:30.360
<v Speaker 2>stop it from ending.

421
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:32.079
<v Speaker 1>Collective consciousness.

422
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Everything that's happening is happening because it's manifesting. The people

423
00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:41.800
<v Speaker 2>in power have just gotten a stronger collective consciousness than us,

424
00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:51.039
<v Speaker 2>and they have spent centuries now perfecting the power of

425
00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:56.159
<v Speaker 2>the earth to keep us unable to have that collective consciousness.

426
00:42:57.679 --> 00:42:59.559
<v Speaker 1>So when people ask me like how do you keep

427
00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:03.880
<v Speaker 1>your home? Because I mean, I've thought about it, do

428
00:43:03.960 --> 00:43:07.039
<v Speaker 1>I want to her to end? And then I was

429
00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:10.599
<v Speaker 1>like no, because I like doll thins.

430
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:18.800
<v Speaker 2>So no, they got us all distracted with all types

431
00:43:18.800 --> 00:43:19.559
<v Speaker 2>of nonsense.

432
00:43:20.679 --> 00:43:28.840
<v Speaker 1>No I don't. I don't want it to end.

433
00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:32.320
<v Speaker 2>So if enough of us are just like shit, I

434
00:43:32.320 --> 00:43:36.719
<v Speaker 2>don't want this shit to end, neither the universe conspires

435
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:38.159
<v Speaker 2>to give you what you need.

436
00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:48.039
<v Speaker 1>I believe that.

437
00:43:50.199 --> 00:43:53.079
<v Speaker 2>I should have because there's just certain like like for

438
00:43:53.159 --> 00:43:55.360
<v Speaker 2>all types of purposes, I should have been pregnant by

439
00:43:55.360 --> 00:43:58.800
<v Speaker 2>a drug dealer by now, like that should have happened,

440
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:03.760
<v Speaker 2>that the odds were there, didn't happen?

441
00:44:04.440 --> 00:44:21.639
<v Speaker 1>Wasn't my story? Have I had terrible things happened to me? Absolutely? Absolutely?

442
00:44:23.119 --> 00:44:28.760
<v Speaker 2>However, I know that I walk a path of pure goodness.

443
00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:38.440
<v Speaker 2>That's always my goal. So I have to believe that

444
00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:40.000
<v Speaker 2>that means something.

445
00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh y'all, So yeah, I'm telling you.

446
00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:49.400
<v Speaker 2>The fact that I did not end up having a

447
00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:51.119
<v Speaker 2>baby by drug you learn having a visit to prison

448
00:44:51.159 --> 00:44:56.519
<v Speaker 2>with the with the baby is is mind boggle shocking, shocking,

449
00:44:56.960 --> 00:44:57.719
<v Speaker 2>mind boggling.

450
00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:04.480
<v Speaker 1>You can only attribute that to one thing. There's a

451
00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:06.000
<v Speaker 1>bigger purpose, there's a bigger path.

452
00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:41.519
<v Speaker 2>So soone said, they just through the phone, people ask

453
00:45:41.599 --> 00:45:44.159
<v Speaker 2>dumb ass questions, why were you ever dating drug dealers?

454
00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Because they're sexy, they have like built in swade and

<v Speaker 1>Hello.

457
00:46:06.079 --> 00:46:46.719
<v Speaker 2>I also grew up on nineties hip hop. Hello, thank

458
00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:47.760
<v Speaker 2>you Milon Malona.

459
00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Like, I mean, it's just like, come on.

460
00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:03.199
<v Speaker 2>Someone just asked, was it was it in New Yorker?

461
00:47:03.239 --> 00:47:14.760
<v Speaker 2>CALLI New York Detroit? The bay La a smattering. I

462
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:19.400
<v Speaker 2>never knew anything about their business. I never was involved.

463
00:47:20.760 --> 00:47:24.480
<v Speaker 2>It was always like this thing they do, and I

464
00:47:24.480 --> 00:47:27.519
<v Speaker 2>think the mystery was also very.

465
00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:44.079
<v Speaker 7>Like, see you look how many people in here?

466
00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:44.360
<v Speaker 8>Yeah?

467
00:47:44.400 --> 00:47:47.639
<v Speaker 1>I have my time when a drug dealer? Yeah?

468
00:47:47.960 --> 00:48:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, so have they. I asked you all

469
00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:05.880
<v Speaker 2>to ask yourself some questions before you go to sleep,

470
00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:10.599
<v Speaker 2>and I want you to remember what those questions were.

471
00:48:14.440 --> 00:48:23.840
<v Speaker 2>The number one question is why would the people in power.

472
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:28.039
<v Speaker 1>Allow you?

473
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:31.159
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm gonna put it differently, why would the people

474
00:48:31.320 --> 00:48:44.039
<v Speaker 2>empower tell you the truth? Why would the people empower

475
00:48:44.760 --> 00:48:46.679
<v Speaker 2>tell you the truth?

476
00:48:53.639 --> 00:48:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I want you to ask yourself.

477
00:48:57.880 --> 00:49:08.039
<v Speaker 2>Why or how can those who are so obviously inept

478
00:49:10.719 --> 00:49:22.000
<v Speaker 2>carry out such a grand operation. And the third question

479
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:28.840
<v Speaker 2>I want you to ask yourself is do I understand

480
00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:41.320
<v Speaker 2>power and control? Because I couldn't see what the fuck

481
00:49:41.400 --> 00:49:46.119
<v Speaker 2>shit really was until I realized that my concept of

482
00:49:46.199 --> 00:49:50.119
<v Speaker 2>power and control was based on my own perspective, and

483
00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:53.360
<v Speaker 2>I am not someone who seeks power and control, so

484
00:49:53.519 --> 00:49:57.880
<v Speaker 2>that is going to be a super limited understanding. In

485
00:49:58.039 --> 00:50:01.679
<v Speaker 2>order to understand the power and control being held over me,

486
00:50:02.159 --> 00:50:06.320
<v Speaker 2>I had to expand my consciousness of what people are

487
00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:09.280
<v Speaker 2>looking for who seek power and control.

488
00:50:12.760 --> 00:50:15.800
<v Speaker 1>And I can tell you.

489
00:50:19.679 --> 00:50:22.639
<v Speaker 2>When you start to open your mind, it is scary

490
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:27.920
<v Speaker 2>because you're like what, yes, and you have to keep

491
00:50:27.960 --> 00:50:36.679
<v Speaker 2>pushing further to see the expanse because your version is

492
00:50:36.760 --> 00:50:47.079
<v Speaker 2>typically not gonna be the one. I understand we have

493
00:50:47.360 --> 00:50:48.760
<v Speaker 2>very specific things.

494
00:50:48.559 --> 00:50:50.519
<v Speaker 1>We need to deal with in this immediate moment.

495
00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:56.159
<v Speaker 2>Not paying taxes, not voting on an electoral level, challenging

496
00:50:56.199 --> 00:51:00.840
<v Speaker 2>those on a local level to either be servants, or

497
00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:05.519
<v Speaker 2>not creating systems of food and mutual aid, et cetera. Yes,

498
00:51:07.239 --> 00:51:10.159
<v Speaker 2>I also understand that my role as to while we're

499
00:51:10.199 --> 00:51:15.880
<v Speaker 2>doing that, continue expanding the wonderment and imagination and innovation

500
00:51:16.119 --> 00:51:19.320
<v Speaker 2>mind because an empire is falling and one is coming

501
00:51:19.360 --> 00:51:22.519
<v Speaker 2>in its place, and we cannot allow that.

502
00:51:26.119 --> 00:51:27.119
<v Speaker 1>We cannot allow that.

503
00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:33.039
<v Speaker 2>So I want you all to question, to ask yourself

504
00:51:33.119 --> 00:51:39.360
<v Speaker 2>those questions, and let me.

505
00:51:39.320 --> 00:51:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Tell you.

506
00:51:43.679 --> 00:51:49.400
<v Speaker 2>What you lose in a false sense of safety.

507
00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:51.639
<v Speaker 1>You will gain.

508
00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:59.119
<v Speaker 2>Encourage and confidence as you push through. So Papino asked,

509
00:51:59.159 --> 00:52:01.880
<v Speaker 2>where do we find it the answers to power and control?

510
00:52:06.239 --> 00:52:07.800
<v Speaker 1>How much do you know about.

511
00:52:07.519 --> 00:52:13.039
<v Speaker 2>The presidents of the United States? How much do you

512
00:52:13.159 --> 00:52:20.000
<v Speaker 2>know about the Vatican? How much do you know about

513
00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:22.639
<v Speaker 2>the Secretaries of Defense of the United States.

514
00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:26.760
<v Speaker 1>These are people who seek power.

515
00:52:29.760 --> 00:52:38.199
<v Speaker 2>There has been an immense amount of education, of writing

516
00:52:38.880 --> 00:52:46.559
<v Speaker 2>and documentaries done on these people. How much do you

517
00:52:46.719 --> 00:52:54.480
<v Speaker 2>know about billionaires like JP Morgan? Where did the Astors

518
00:52:54.559 --> 00:53:02.400
<v Speaker 2>get their money? The Rothschilds, the rock a Feller? How

519
00:53:02.480 --> 00:53:08.360
<v Speaker 2>much do you know about Queen Victoria? About the British Empire.

520
00:53:11.320 --> 00:53:15.119
<v Speaker 2>These are the beginning because when you are able to

521
00:53:15.239 --> 00:53:19.880
<v Speaker 2>start understanding how these people think, you begin to conceptualize

522
00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:23.119
<v Speaker 2>how little you mean to their world, and that should

523
00:53:23.199 --> 00:53:32.239
<v Speaker 2>piss you the fuck off. Carnegie Vanderbilt, you know, the

524
00:53:32.280 --> 00:53:40.400
<v Speaker 2>show The Gilded Age is literally romanticizing for you the

525
00:53:40.440 --> 00:53:45.599
<v Speaker 2>making of the billionaire class. They're putting them in pretty dresses.

526
00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:53.960
<v Speaker 2>They're showing you their myopic surface, frivolous arguments and trivialities,

527
00:53:54.599 --> 00:53:57.719
<v Speaker 2>and then you're watching it like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeh.

528
00:53:57.639 --> 00:54:00.000
<v Speaker 1>No, they're brainwashing you.

529
00:54:02.360 --> 00:54:06.440
<v Speaker 2>All of that shit that you're watching is not fantasy.

530
00:54:06.599 --> 00:54:10.119
<v Speaker 2>The Gilded Age is literally about how the United States

531
00:54:10.159 --> 00:54:16.239
<v Speaker 2>became the next New World. That's where the billionaire class

532
00:54:16.320 --> 00:54:25.840
<v Speaker 2>came from.

533
00:54:43.039 --> 00:54:44.440
<v Speaker 1>You know what's funny.

534
00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:46.840
<v Speaker 2>I saw someone of her saying, that's why they had

535
00:54:46.880 --> 00:54:49.960
<v Speaker 2>bunkers and private islands. I'm gonna tell you why I

536
00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:52.719
<v Speaker 2>think they have bunkers and private islands. I don't think

537
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:56.679
<v Speaker 2>they have bunkers and private islands because the earth is

538
00:54:56.719 --> 00:55:01.119
<v Speaker 2>gonna have a natural disaster. I think they have bunkers

539
00:55:01.119 --> 00:55:03.280
<v Speaker 2>in private islands because they know that we're gonna rise

540
00:55:03.360 --> 00:55:07.599
<v Speaker 2>up and they're gonna run. I think that's why they

541
00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:09.079
<v Speaker 2>have bunkers in private islands.

542
00:55:09.760 --> 00:55:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's because they're.

543
00:55:10.760 --> 00:55:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Gonna drop an atomic bomb. I think it's because they

544
00:55:15.320 --> 00:55:18.639
<v Speaker 2>know that we actually do have power.

545
00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:26.239
<v Speaker 1>We don't know that. We don't know that.

546
00:55:31.039 --> 00:55:35.360
<v Speaker 2>History channel exactly. The men who built America, thank you, Fifi.

547
00:55:36.639 --> 00:55:37.639
<v Speaker 1>We don't know that.

548
00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:43.000
<v Speaker 2>And when you see Arab states capitulating, and you see

549
00:55:43.079 --> 00:55:46.519
<v Speaker 2>these other countries, you know, like your man who's trying

550
00:55:46.559 --> 00:55:48.400
<v Speaker 2>to stay step in and it are and I.

551
00:55:48.360 --> 00:55:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Think his name is Polavi.

552
00:55:49.679 --> 00:55:53.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, you see places like Elsa Lador and the

553
00:55:53.920 --> 00:55:57.480
<v Speaker 2>guy who's trying to run shit Hodudahs and Nigeria.

554
00:55:57.559 --> 00:55:58.360
<v Speaker 1>You see these folks.

555
00:55:58.400 --> 00:56:00.440
<v Speaker 2>These are just folks who are like, oh well, if

556
00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:02.400
<v Speaker 2>they're getting in on colonialism, then I want a piece

557
00:56:02.400 --> 00:56:03.000
<v Speaker 2>of the pie too.

558
00:56:03.039 --> 00:56:05.000
<v Speaker 1>That's it. That's it.

559
00:56:05.480 --> 00:56:17.400
<v Speaker 2>They're just bottom feeders, they're scavengers. You have to get

560
00:56:17.639 --> 00:56:20.960
<v Speaker 2>a spiritual base. And I will tell you one last thing.

561
00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:33.559
<v Speaker 2>So much of what we have charted our course on

562
00:56:34.079 --> 00:56:39.960
<v Speaker 2>to make this life make sense is about belief, having

563
00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:45.480
<v Speaker 2>faith in that which we can't see, aligning ourselves to

564
00:56:46.920 --> 00:56:54.719
<v Speaker 2>structures of spirit that soothe us. And I want you

565
00:56:54.800 --> 00:56:58.519
<v Speaker 2>to know that when it comes to the connection of

566
00:56:58.639 --> 00:57:02.440
<v Speaker 2>the human and the earth, it does not require belief.

567
00:57:04.679 --> 00:57:09.880
<v Speaker 2>It is very clearly recorded. When it comes to the

568
00:57:09.880 --> 00:57:13.440
<v Speaker 2>connection of the earth and the universe, it does not

569
00:57:13.559 --> 00:57:21.000
<v Speaker 2>require belief. It is very finitely recorded the Fibonacci spiral,

570
00:57:22.280 --> 00:57:25.559
<v Speaker 2>the mirrored images of our physical beings to that which

571
00:57:25.599 --> 00:57:31.039
<v Speaker 2>is in nature. And when you see this, it allows

572
00:57:31.079 --> 00:57:39.519
<v Speaker 2>you to perhaps not abandon your beliefs, but to bolster

573
00:57:39.599 --> 00:57:48.039
<v Speaker 2>them to something sturdy. And what is necessary right now

574
00:57:48.400 --> 00:57:55.480
<v Speaker 2>is sturdiness. That is where you will find your ability

575
00:57:55.760 --> 00:57:58.960
<v Speaker 2>to grasp the truth that you will need to understand

576
00:57:59.239 --> 00:58:02.639
<v Speaker 2>to be effected in actually saving this place that we've

577
00:58:02.639 --> 00:58:04.719
<v Speaker 2>decided is worth saving because we love dolphins.

578
00:58:06.039 --> 00:58:08.639
<v Speaker 3>This episode of Amanda Amplified is brought to you.

598

599
00:59:17.920 --> 00:59:19.280

603

604
00:59:45.320 --> 00:59:51.159
<v Speaker 8>look Josh like her. And then the white boys at

605
00:59:51.159 --> 00:59:54.599
<v Speaker 8>that summinary school, they thought they could be scared.

606

<v Speaker 1>Watch all down, I shall y'all. Hm.

607

608
01:00:12.039 --> 01:00:18.760
<v Speaker 9>of your coolery. It all points back to pinpoint. You

609
01:00:18.800 --> 01:00:22.079
<v Speaker 9>were mistreated by the negroes in your young life, and

610
01:00:22.119 --> 01:00:27.280
<v Speaker 9>now everyone has to suffer. However, let me clarify for you.

611
01:00:28.920 --> 01:00:32.519
<v Speaker 9>It is white folks that build a world where your

612
01:00:32.519 --> 01:00:37.679
<v Speaker 9>mamma couldn't raise you. It's white folks built a world

613
01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:40.679
<v Speaker 9>that taught your granddaddy to beat you the way he

614
01:00:40.760 --> 01:00:45.320
<v Speaker 9>had been beaten. It's white folks that had fellow black

615
01:00:45.400 --> 01:00:49.639
<v Speaker 9>children chiding you for the darkness of your beautiful brown skin.

616
01:00:51.079 --> 01:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>It's white folks that kept you up at night hollering

617
01:00:53.480 --> 01:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>nigger hard are through the dorm.

618
01:00:57.760 --> 01:01:01.840
<v Speaker 9>It's white folks that had the Anther's protesting and white

619
01:01:01.840 --> 01:01:05.360
<v Speaker 9>felt white cops that met them with the violence that

620
01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:06.440
<v Speaker 9>turned you into.

621
01:01:06.280 --> 01:01:08.000
<v Speaker 1>What you have become now.

622
01:01:09.960 --> 01:01:14.360
<v Speaker 9>But instead of using your brilliance to stop them, you

623
01:01:14.440 --> 01:01:19.760
<v Speaker 9>outdid them like that of Christ himself. You offered up

624
01:01:19.800 --> 01:01:23.199
<v Speaker 9>your body and your mind, and it's being used to

625
01:01:23.360 --> 01:01:25.159
<v Speaker 9>further humankind's demise.

626
01:01:28.880 --> 01:01:29.480
<v Speaker 1>What do you know?

627
01:01:30.960 --> 01:01:31.199
<v Speaker 2>Hmm?

628
01:01:32.320 --> 01:01:35.119
<v Speaker 9>I know you got into Holy Cross aided by affirmative action.

629
01:01:35.639 --> 01:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>You don't know me. I had to take care of myself.

630
01:01:39.519 --> 01:01:42.079
<v Speaker 1>I had to chart my own course. I had no one.

631
01:01:42.719 --> 01:01:46.639
<v Speaker 2>I had to be brave and courageous and seven.

632
01:01:46.719 --> 01:01:48.519
<v Speaker 1>It got me into rooms you would have never been in.

633
01:01:48.760 --> 01:01:51.559
<v Speaker 9>It got me on private jets and got my niece's

634
01:01:51.599 --> 01:01:52.599
<v Speaker 9>college paid for.

635
01:01:52.960 --> 01:01:57.199
<v Speaker 1>What do you know about sacrifice? Neither? I was asive.
