New Year Focus On Equality

SPEAKER_05 0:22

Peace and welcome back. Welcome back to Freeman's Affairs Radio. Happy New Year to everybody. Welcome back. And uh we certainly hope it has been a happy new year for you all. Today, January 6th, 2026. The focus for today is equality. And in equality, we will find balance, harmony, fair-handedness, congruency, and equity, I want to say. Right? This is equality, how we understand equality. And equality will be the focus throughout the throughout the year in dealing with the freedmen in the FBA community. Let me say that. Let me say that. And you know, in this new year, you know, before we departed last week, we went through a through a couple of things. We didn't go through everything. We didn't get into the to the uh the whole bunch of the gossip and the the hip hop beefs and stuff like that. We we got we tried to cover some of the main things or main concerns of our community to close out the year. But looking ahead, what can we expect in the new year? What can we expect in 2026 to bring us? Well, for right now, we can we can expect from ourselves from ourselves to be our best selves, the freedmen I'm talking to, the freedmen, the FBA community. We can look forward to that. To doing the best we can in on an individual level to be the best person we can. Right? And if we do that individually, collectively, we can accomplish a lot and get a lot done. Let me try to get the bed back up in here because I really like that little tune. Yeah. And you know, the year is just starting out, the fresh new year is just starting out. The 2025 is in the rearview mirror. There's a lot of lessons to be learned from things that happened in 2025, and sometimes we will go to the well and extract those things that we need to draw from to help us propel forward in the new year of 2026. But right now, let me see how, because I got the show lined up. I had the show lined up. And um right here, this city where I reside, we have a new mayor, uh, Mayor Mon Mamdani. He's been sworn in January 1st, and he's he's in now, and um how will that affect um the foundationals? Let me see. Can I go into that first? Let me just uh give me one second. One second. We're just gonna go into the inauguration speech of Mondani. Hold on, just a second.

unknown 4:21

Hold on.

SPEAKER_10 4:26

Humbled by the faith that you have placed in me and honored to serve as either your 111th or 112th mayor of New York City. But I do not stand alone. I stand alongside you, the tens of thousands of you gathered here in lower Manhattan, warmed against the January chill by the resurgent flame. I stand alongside countless more New Yorkers watching from cramped kitchens and flushing and barbershops in East New York, from cell phones propped against the dashboards of park taxi cabs at LaGuardia, from hospitals in Mutt Haven, and libraries in the bodyum that have too long known only neglect. I stand alongside construction workers in steel-toed boots and halum-covered vendors whose knees ache from working all day.

Those in a rush.

Demographics And Disaggregation

Rent Freezes And Early Policies

SPEAKER_05 5:34

Okay, we're not gonna go into the whole speech. I just wanted to give y'all a little bit, a little light tap of uh his inauguration address. And as I stated in the opening in regard to him, what would this how is this gonna affect or how is it what can black Americans expect from this mayor? To be honest with you, to be quite honest with you, I really it's it's way too early to tell. I know now the first thing this did there let me let me say this first, right? There's not a whole lot of foundational uh black Americans left in uh New York City, the five boroughs. I think Manhattan, um there's little pockets of Brooklyn and Queens that have that still have foundational people because uh New York City has become a place of immigrants, very uh immigrant dominated population, very uh immigrant heavy. So there's not a whole lot of foundational left here in New York City, the five boroughs. I think maybe Staten Island, you know, some of the you know, what do they have over there, Staten Island, projects like uh Stapleton and those kind of places. But my thing is it's not a whole lot of us here. Maybe a couple of million, you know, maybe I don't know, a million, um maybe seven hundred thousand, maybe a million. I don't I'm I can't it's hard to to really uh approximate the number. You know, and this this is why we we're trying to get uh certain bills uh disaggregated and and so we can know these numbers and know where our people are at because as as I said, this is a very heavy, heavy foreign uh immigrant populated um city and where black immigrants are concerned and mostly heavy, heavy Caribbean uh presence. It's African to a degree. There's a lot of them here, but it's very dominated by the Caribbean. Um especially boroughs like Brooklyn and Queens and the Bronx. Very heavy with with the uh with the Caribbean uh community. And a lot of foundations have left the city. Upstate those who are still in New York, they've moved to Syracuse and Buffalo and upstate, you know, the you know, the the uh the upstate areas, the counties upstate and um Long Island, there is a presence out there also in some pockets and and uh uh Nassau, Suffolk County. But most most of our folks have moved back south or either out west to um places like Texas and Arizona or some parts of the Midwest, mostly Houston, a lot of a lot of heavy presence of New Yorkers have have um migrated to Houston, the Houston area, and then mostly down south in the southern belt in the Bible Belt states, the Carolinas, Georgia, Georgia, heavy, heavy, and uh Alabama and places like that, Virginia, and um so there's not there's not like it once was where we were heavy hair, you know, we had a very uh big strong hole on the city at one point in time, and it you know, all the way up into the late 80s, early 90s, even up into the mid-90s. That's when people started pretty much packing it in around the mid-90s. People started really leaving New York City and uh moving out to other states and and whatnot, things like that. So he is talking about this man, ma'am Dan, ma'am Danny. I'm speaking about this man is talking about um he day one he f uh rent freezes for stabilized apartments. There will be rent freezes, and I think he has put that into effect uh effect. Also, also there was some there was some uh some uh executive orders that he I gotta look into it, and I don't have the the the the notes up here with me about that. Some kind of executive orders that went against the the Jewish community of uh of some kind of non-supporter of the Jewish community. I don't wanna say too much here because I said as I said, I don't have the notes up here with me, but I'm gonna be speaking on that because I'm gonna be following his uh his his very first early days of his administration because you know he's already backed off some of the talk. This guy, you know, he's they call him a communist, a socialist, or whatever like that. And he's already backed off some of the talk. He did have a a White House meeting with with uh the President Trump. And um I don't I I'm not sure as to sure what that was about or what kind of I guess it was kind of a warming up because they know he's gonna be the mayor. And and Trump did have a sort of a a warmer relationship with the former mayor, Eric Adams. And um, so I don't know what that was about, but he said he's you know he wants wants to make transportation, free buses, and things of that nature. And um I don't know if if uh what's the response of gov of the governor of New York State. I haven't really dug into her responses to a lot of the things that he wants to institute during his administration. Certainly in the early, the early part in the first days. So we got we gotta see this. We gotta see. But it was a lot of people at the inauguration. City Hall was definitely uh there was big crowds out there, and you know, it's good. He's an interesting guy, if nothing else, he's an interesting guy. So yeah. But that's uh that's the thing we're gonna keep an eye on here in the in the uh in in my city, the city I reside in, okay? So yeah. All right, well, what else do we have here? What else do we have? Okay, covered that agenda for FBAs. Like I said, we don't know what to expect from him, and uh we'll see. We'll see. I know because the city is is has been widely unaffordable, and this is why a lot of people left. So that is that may be a good sign, him putting a a um rent freeze on the stabilized uh rent stabilized buildings. So it could be a good thing. I don't know how it's gonna work out. I I haven't really dug into it to see what what would be the negatives from it, because you know it's always gonna be a negative. When you do something like that, it's gonna be a negative. And uh I don't know how accountable he will hold landlords and owners of these properties. You see, so we we'll see. But anyway, but anyway, family, the big story, the big kahuna story, the big thing is everybody's been talking, it's been in the news cycles and trending, and it's everywhere, and you would have to be living in a cave not to understand um the some say a capture, some saying it's an abduction uh by the US government against uh Nicholas Maduro, the Venice former Den Venezuelan president. Well, I shouldn't say former because well let me say Nicholas Maduro, the the president of uh Ven Venezuela, right? He's been um like I said, some say captured, some say abducted. So let's um but to um yesterday was his first day in court, and let's see if we can get anything from that.

unknown 13:58

Hold on.

SPEAKER_07 13:59

In Venezuela, this is the video here again. This is happening just literally in the last maybe five minutes or so, uh, speaking to the Venezuelan National Assembly at the same time that his father, in this in this split screen, is in court in Manhattan and New York City to face these U.S. broad charges. I want to go to Gabe Gutierrez, our man on the ground in Colombia. And Gabe, uh, this is a family matter for the Maduro family. You look at Celia Flores, of course, the uh Venezuelan first lady who is also facing charges in this indictment, somebody who has been an influential figure in Venezuela in her own right, former attorney general there. She had obviously been part of the legislative branch. This is her being walked in, as you can see by federal officials as she arrived on U.S. soil. Uh, she has also obviously retained an attorney here, has a defense attorney, and is facing charges alongside her husband case.

SPEAKER_02 14:50

Yeah, the trend handle is incredibly influential. It's uh bit of an understatement, really. Nicolas Maduro calls her Selita and in the land.

SPEAKER_05 14:59

Let's see if we go to the actual court proceedings of yesterday. Let's see if we can get it, get, get some um get some uh stuff on that.

SPEAKER_06 15:09

Taking us back out to another image that we have here. Uh trying to see, I do believe that could be Nicolas Maduro that you see being led back there, but we're not entirely sure. This camera is really far, so we're just gonna keep this live image up here on your screen. But there you can see that a military member's law enforcement agents are directing uh what looks to be Austin Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro. Yes, he is on his way there to the New York City courtroom, and that does appear to be him. He is going to be lifted into that helicopter that is there stationed at the prison, where he will be appearing before a judge at 12 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, that is noon today. Cameras are not allowed inside the courtroom, but as you just saw, reporters are there standing by to let us know what happened inside. Now, before his capture, Maludo and his allies claimed U.S. hostility was motivated by lust for Venezuela's rich oil and mineral resources. This I'm also attributing to some reporting courtesy of the Associated Press. The U.S. seized Maludo and his wife in a military operation on Saturday, capturing them in their home on a military base. President Trump said the U.S.

SPEAKER_05 16:28

Let's go to another clip. That's not really what I want. Let me see if I get something in here.

SPEAKER_00 16:32

New York City police are removing barricades outside of the federal courthouse where Nicholas Maduro just pleaded not guilty to uh narco-terrorism and drug trafficking charges. Maduro said he is innocent and a decent man. He also insisted that he's still the president of Venezuela and said he was captured illegally. Now, his wife was also in court with him. She had bandages on her face that her lawyer says she sustained those injuries during the capture. Now, this was an arraignment, so it was largely procedural. We didn't hear legal arguments. However, his lawyer did question the legality of his arrest. Maduro and his wife will remain in custody. Their next court date is in March.

SPEAKER_09 17:13

We just got news that Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro has pled not guilty to the four counts he's facing related to narco-terrorism and weapons charges. His wife, Celia, has also pled not guilty. According to reports from inside the courtroom, the judge said, Are you Nicholas Maduro? Yes. Anything that you say here can be used against you. How do you plead? He said, I'm innocent, I'm a decent man, I am president. The defense lawyer says it's a plea of not guilty to all counts. The defense lawyer is Barry Pollack of Washington, D.C., who's been known for representing Julian Assange and negotiating his release after the WikiLeaks charges. The uh deputy says, Have you seen the indictment? And Madurova says he has seen it but not read it. He says, Has have you discussed it with your lawyer? Madurova says, partially, how do you plead? Madurova says, I'm innocent. I'm not guilty of anything that is mentioned here. Maduro also told the judge he's been captured and that he considers himself a prisoner of war. The judge pretty much shunted that conversation aside to get to the legal matter at hand. So again, prosecutors here at the Southern District of New York have been working on this for decades. The global cartels investigation began in the early 2000s, and in 2011 there were indictments related to these Venezuelan leaders. The first indictment with Nicholas Maduro named in 2020. And basically, you've got prosecutors saying they ran this massive drug trafficking and human smuggling scheme with some of the biggest drug organizations in Latin America in order to fuel, they say, Maduro's power grab in Van Venezuela. We're waiting for more details from our producer inside the courtroom, but for now that's where things stand, Scott.

Maduro’s Capture And Court Updates

SPEAKER_05 18:58

Do we actually expect today, Contessa, that we will now I just want to speak on a little bit of that because if you're unaware of this, he has been indicted since 2020. He's been indicted on on some drug charges. Now, just maybe I don't even know if it was a year ago, but sometime a little while ago, President Trump was saying that that uh he was uh push, you know, he was trafficking fentanyl, and that was the big talk, he trafficking fentanyl, fentanyl, fentanyl, fentanyl. Come to find out, fentanyl is not, has not, nor is or ever has been manufactured in Venezuela. In fact, m uh the the nearest manufacturer of of the drug, the the fentanyl drug, is is three thousand miles away from Venezuela. So uh uh so what they did with the indictment I'm not sure if they went into the indictment here, but it was it's cocaine. They now they switched it from fentanyl to cocaine. Now, let me say this. This is my posture on it, how I'm looking at it. This dude, he by all accounts, he was a bad dude. By all accounts. He was a crooked, uh, bad leader for his people and whatever, you know, things of that nature, he wasn't a good person. So uh, but I want you to understand this. I want you to understand this. The U.S. government, because everybody's saying Trump went in there and did this. You know, you know the uh the um the MAGA crowd, the white MAGA crowd, they they oh Trump went in there, you know, he's a bad man. He went in there and took this guy and did this and did oh, Trump Trump, Trump. Then the bootlickers, the black MAGA bootlickers and the and the butt crack kissers, they right behind, yeah, Trump, man, I'm all for it, man. This guy, man, he's this guy's he's a terrible leader's a dictator, and uh, you know, you know how they are, the bootlicking uh black MAGA. But here's the thing anyone that thinks that that that for whatever reason that this Venezuelan government, the people of Venezuela are gonna be better off, or you know, because they they were very poor, the inflation was was, I think, uh marked up by 300% inflation there, food scarce, kept the people there poor and in need, that's not gonna change. Anybody that thinks that way because they got this guy and locked him up and and you know, putting him through the kangaroo court system, that's those those people are gonna be better off economically. You're sadly mistaken now. What I will say on this, what I would the guy's a bad guy now, by all accounts, from what I've researched and read about him and studied about him, he's a bad guy. No doubt about it. Right? But this government is not interested in those people helping those people over there. We all know why they're there. I mean, we can play like, oh no. Now, this is United States is my country, and with all its dark past and its faults, this is the the country that I that I live in. This is my home. I love my home. You know, the the the the the good of it because there is some good here. I'm not one of these people sit up here and you know bash America and bash. Yeah, they have a dark past, very dark, dark and and gory past, the things they've done, the blood on the soil. We all know this. But there are some great here too, and there's some great people here, past and present. So with that said, with that said, these politicians and these people these power brokers, these big higher-up power brokers, they they're the ones. When things get messed up, you have to, as they always say, and it's becoming cliche, I understand that, but it's it's always said, just follow the money. Follow the money. And we'll see just what's happening. And that's what you have to pay attention to. Now, usually when I get up here, we speak about Freeman, FBA, our things that's affecting our community directly. And this this here is a world event that's going to have huge implications. And let me say this also this is not going to work out so great for President Trump. This this is not. So, all of you MAGAs, and especially you the black MAGAs, who love to put them little stupid hats on and them t-shirts on and make America great again, and all of this, and Trump can't do no wrong. He just, you know, just you know, every time you step in a in a pile of doodle, Trump, I'll be there to lick your boots. That's the black MAGA crowd. Let me say this to you. This is not going to fare well for him or the MAG MAGA Republicans. A lot of people are upset about this. A lot of people, because you already, in mid-sentence, you've changed your tune and went from fentanyl to cocaine. Right? Because you remember back when he was on the campaign trail, he was dead set on stopping fentanyl from coming into the country. And Venezuela was one of the places he was talking about. Then they do the research and find out, oh, that's not actually true. It's not manufactured there. Now, there's a lot of cocaine and stuff that goes through that country and it dealings with those, with those uh officials there. This is something we're not gonna pretend like it's not something that that's not a thing. We're not gonna pretend that. We know it's a thing. Um we've did we've been here before. We've been here with Panama. They did this was very, even though there's there's a there's very strong differences in in the two, between the two, um uh Maduro and and and uh Manuel Noriega. Remember, remember that? Remember that? That was the senior Bush. They um they had to go into uh a Vatican Embassy to get him and they tortured him into surrender. That was in 1989, right? That was that was the the elder Bush, President Bush, uh against uh Panama's uh man Manuel Noriega. And they and um they finally got him. And then um it was uh in two back in 2003, it was George W. Bush, the son, with uh against Iran and Saddam Hussein. Remember, we gotta go in there and get the weapons of mass destruction. We are responsible to keep the world safe against this madman. We have to go in there and destroy his weapons of mass destruction. Well, we still wait for those weapons. Let me get a music bag back in here. Hold on. We still waiting for those weapons. Right? Turn it down just a little bit. We still working in the office up here and trying to get things together. Oh boy, but we'll we'll get there, family. We'll get there. And um I got a piece of good news for you and won't share, but I want to I want to get through this real quick. So, yeah. Uh that that was in 2003, weapons of mass destruction. And then in 2011, under Barack Hussein Obama, it was against Libya and General Moamar Gaddafi. That thing, that really bothered me. That bothered me because he took all of his cues from Hillary Clinton. And and when they killed Moamar Gaddafi, they celebrated and they murdered his two, I think, two of his sons. That one got to me uh uh quite a bit. That one, that one I felt that one. But it's all been the same thing. Now, Saturday passed, Jason Black from the Black Authority did a broadcast. I know it was Sunday. I listened to the to the Saturday broadcast. I also listened to the Sunday broadcast. And his thing was that the America done went full gangster on this thing. But we seen this before. Yes, it was a gangster move. Let me tell you something. You know how they caught this dude? Because people were saying, well, how did they his military didn't help or nothing? And people were saying he had to be sold out from the with from within his own uh military. They had to assist U.S. in capturing him. No, they had the technology to go in there and turn all the power off. For so many millions of people, they just turned the place dark and went in there and got it. People got the technology to do that. They can put the lights out anywhere, including here. Right? They went in there and got this guy. And that Venezuela is sitting on the on the largest oil reserve in the entire world, on the globe. That that Venezuela oil reserve is the hugest oil reserve in the entire world. And from what I'm understanding, it is the best quality oil, the better, even better than Saudi Arabia. Right? Go figure that, family. Go figure that. Need we could really go into this? Right? Each time. I just relayed it out to you. 1989, 2003, that was Panama, then it was Iran. What was over there in Iran? Oil. Right? Then Mohammed Gaddafi, he, you know what he was doing. He was, he was, uh, they was getting ready to move the whole world away from them from the American dollar. And the American dollar was gonna collapse because he was making his own currency for Africa there, for that part of Africa. Remember? Now this. Now this. Venezuela. Right? I want to I want to play a little bit for my sister um Sabrina Savati, Sabby Sab. She does excellent work and fair use, by the way, fair use. I want to use a little bit of her. She she did a she did some reporting on this. Hold on a second.

SPEAKER_08 30:41

Understand. So I thought it's important to show that and this part here, where um Mr. Trump said in an interview on Fox that Mr. Maduro wanted to negotiate in the final days before U.S. forces, I'm gonna say, kidnapped him, and Trump rejected it. I didn't want to negotiate. I said nope, we gotta do it. So just a reminder there, folks. Like I said, we have been here uh before. And so now Rodriguez is now installed basically as the president, at least for now. She's the leader in charge in Venezuela. And I want you to hear what she says here again. Uh, she was the vice president, Del C Rodriguez. She's been sworn in as the president. Listen to what she said.

SPEAKER_10 31:32

The vice president who has just been sworn in as the president of Venezuela. Let's uh listen in to this media conference.

SPEAKER_09 31:39

This means and what our energy resources mean. So this National Defense Council is hereby activated, commissioned, and we are awaiting the constitutional chamber.

SPEAKER_05 31:50

I'm going to rewind this a little bit because this is not what I actually wanted. So I'm going to rewind it a little bit. Give me one second.

From Fentanyl Claims To Cocaine Charges

SPEAKER_08 31:55

Fentanyl. Fentanyl is not even produced in Venezuela. But you don't have to believe me. Just look at what Wallace says. Drug traffickers in South America do not produce or traffic fentanyl. What's going on here? It says, especially in Northwest, 3,000 miles from Venezuela, as the only significant source of illicit fentanyl and fentanyl uh analog significantly affecting the United States during the preceding calendar year. The analysis concluded on September 3rd, 2025. There is no proof that fentanyl is manufactured or trafficked from Venezuela or anywhere else in South America. I have been saying this over and over again. Fentanyl is not produced in South America. Yet Donald Trump and Marco Rubio and Pam Bonnie and all of them said it. So it must be true, according to their supporters. Now people bring up cocaine. Now, why were they bringing up cocaine? Because now all of a sudden it's not fentanyl that is in the indictment report. This was released earlier Sunday morning. The U.S. indictment of Maduro cites cocaine smuggling, trade in which Venezuela's role is believed to be modest. So it went from fentanyl to cocaine. Experts have said that Venezuela is not a major producer, not a major drug producer, but rather a minor cocaine transit country with most of the cocaine flowing through headed to Europe. Right here. Now, why is this important? Because Nicholas Maduro will stand trial here in the United States. And the trial, again, according to the indictment, which has flipped from fentanyl to cocaine, because people went through the indictment and saw that there were fentanyl is not there. It's cocaine that's there. So it's now flipped to cocaine. The trial that is going to take place here, the US government basically has to prove that Nicholas Maduro was trafficking cocaine to the United States. But all the other reports don't show that that is the case. That there was very little cocaine coming from Venezuela, and what was coming from it, the majority was going to Europe. So for all the people who are pushing back and saying, no, no, no, he's right to go take them down because of the drug, drug, drug, drug, drug, drug drugs. Well, that will be something that the US government will have to prove in court. Now, I have very little faith in our justice system. So I think if they want something to stick, they'll find a way to make it stick. But if they cannot and are not willing to go that far, the trial will happen. They'll have no evidence, no proof. Maduro will be acquitted, he'll make some type of deal or agreement with Donald Trump and the administration. And the U.S. government will have a leader installed in Venezuela that they want. And that'll be the end of that. The drug claim also takes me back to Manuel Noriega. There are similarities between the two, for those who are not aware. Before Maduro, there was Noriega. The Venezuela leader is now in U.S. custody. Decades earlier, the U.S. deposed the strong now.

Oil, BRICS, And U.S. Strategy

SPEAKER_05 35:28

You get the idea, right? There it is. There it is. Now, before this happened, Maduro was actually talking to China because there were talks even in past times, recent times, about Venezuela joining the BRICS. You know what the BRICS are, right? I think Russia's involved with them, China, India, I believe it is, and some other places. And they they their whole thing is to pitch away from the American dollar. Now, that deal with the oil there, if China, this whole thing was to block China away from dealing with that oil over there in Venezuela, because if that would have happened, the US dollar, United States dollar is already vastly declining. It has declined a good bit, and it is can still continuing to decline. In order for them to to to to kind of put a put a stop in the leak in the boat from the water leaking into the boat, they have you know they need the this oil, they need these resources. So this is in my early estimization of things and analysis of things, this is why they're making these moves like this. Now, these some bold gangster ass moves, don't get me wrong. This is some bad, bad, bold stuff. Now, what is the position of the foundations and the freedmen on this? It's like I always say every week, you know, when the Sinners movie was movie was out last summer, I went and um I went to the theater to see it a couple times, and they had merchandise. When you buy the merchandise, I got the cup. I still have my cup, the big large cup, you know, for the beverage, and I still have the big huge, big, huge tin popcorn holder. So I'm gonna be getting out my center's popcorn bowl and my cup, and I'm gonna be sitting back with me some popcorn, just watching this thing, because if all you gotta do is listen to us. See, the world don't want to listen to us. Us, the foundationals, the freedmen, we don't already told y'all how gangster this government is. When you look to our history and we've told you what these people are people are capable of, what this government is capable of, and the lengths that they're in depths that they will go to to do and get what they want. But you know, the talk is oh, you black Americans, you have this perpetual victimhood mentality. You're perpetual victims. All you do is talk about slavery and how bad the government is and how bad the white man is. All you do is just complain, complain, complain. You need to just get up off your butts, pull yourself up by your bootstraps, go to work, stop complaining, save your money, and stop buying uh Gucci and all of this other stuff, and stop buying guns to kill each other, go to work and be just good, decent taxpaying citizens, and you and life will be great for you. Right? Now the world is seeing. So now we just sitting back with the popcorn and in the and your little lemonade or whatever you're sipping on. You might have a little hesitant in there or whatever, you know, whatever to your liking. But we just sitting back sipping in and munching on the popcorn and watching the movie. Because we've told you. We have told you and forewarned you of how wicked the powers of this of this nation is. We've warned, we've told you, and you've you've mocked us, you've scorned us, and told us to stop complaining and being victims, perpetual as the boot, the boot licks love to tell you, just perpetual victims. And you don't want to take accountability. You know, they be shaking their head, and yeah, so yeah, so yeah, now go figure. Go figure. Now, see, one thing you gotta remember this um there was a late that that that uh Maria Machado lady, she was, you know, because in Venezuela you have Just like in these other nations, you have your dark and your light, your blanco, your white, uh South Americans, and and they wanted United States to come in here. So that's why you have some people reporting that the Venezuelans are happy that this is going, that this is happening because um these people, you know, they were horrible people by all accounts. Uh Maduro and those guys, they his people, they they they were some rough people. They they did they were some bad people. And they've done they've done some things to those folks over there, which is you know, it's none of my business, really. So I don't have a concern about that. But yeah, family.

And um, you know, that's what it's gonna be, family. That's what it's gonna be. Let me uh let me go into it here. Let me go into it here. Um, what else we got? Well, we were already went over that. What should be the focus for the freedmen in this new year? We we pretty much covered that. Oh, yeah, we did have a story, a little story that I found pretty interesting. And this is very important for us. There's a there was this this this uh this streamer, young kid, Aiden Ross. Um and he's been making very disparaging and disrespectful comments about the um the singer doshi. Doshi, yeah. Beautiful little sister, young black sister, beautiful. And he you know, he's and this is not the first time he's done it several times already. He's made very degrading remarks about her, calling all kind of bees and and just uh for going at her for no reason, no logical reason I could see, because she said she she she wrote in uh I think in her uh one of her ex-accounts or whatever she wrote, she don't never met the guy, she don't even know him. And he's making these statements about her, right? But here's the thing some some some Crip guy from uh what's this guy, Glasses Malone from out in LA, from out in California. He sent the kite and said, yo, man, you you stop talking about this sister, man. You stop, uh we gonna because you you know when these guys, these um these these white supremacist racist guys, they um hide behind their, you know, they got money and stuff, so they can hide. So you really can't get to them. But he said, Man, we're gonna press the dudes around you. Hold on, let me see if I find that. Give me one second.

SPEAKER_04 44:15

Motherfucking state, nigga. And you plan this shit. You can't call whack, you can't call the president. Can't nobody stop me from doing what I want to do. I'm telling you again, stop disrespecting that fucking lady. With some help, somebody help. Them hot boys coming through, somebody help. They got guns, they gonna shoot. So basically, what we're looking at here is that ain't a rum, even though he called Black 100 to come off for help.

SPEAKER_01 44:40

Yo, this dude named Glass is Luke and trap Radio threatening me. Okay, well, can you come glass and let him know the tee up and get off my PP? Thanks, bro.

SPEAKER_04 44:58

What we did notice with him is that he just continued to talk shit. And this continuously shows y'all that these motherfuckers don't give a shit because they don't understand consequences. And this is why you can't feel bad for them. It's gonna be whatever it's gonna be. Because these guys don't understand consequences, and they never gonna learn until some shit happens, man. That's just the way that this shit goes, right? So after he went on his whole rant calling glasses and them old, and then saying that, you know, they got baby mamas, uh, you know, they're ugly, that's why they wear glasses, you know, all the stuff you would expect a streamer like Aiden Ross to say. Well, Glasses Malone came back, and Glasses Malone basically is saying, whack can't stop me. So let's see what glasses had to say, because you already know where this is going. I say what I say. I say, look, cause, like, fool, stop talking about that lady. You don't stop calling that lady out her name, homie. A nigga gonna make it bad for you. And I know you're gonna make it really hard to get to you. So all them niggas around you, a nigga gonna do something to them. I'm gonna fuck which one of my homies I gotta organize. Like, if you know me, you know I've been doing this a long time, so my relationships are stellar, and I got enough attitude to do everything that I'm supposed to do because it's the right thing to do. So I kept it clean. I didn't disrespect a nigga, I didn't call that little nigga out his name, I didn't say nothing to cuz. I just talk to him like a man. So when he captures the stream and you start making content with what I'm saying, and I get it, because you're a streamer, you're a content creator, bro. Totally understand. But I'm a crip and I'm not a content creator. I'm not my young home, I'm not AD. AD from the hood, but he's like a content creator. And I'm a crip. I'm a crip that comes here and vocalizes his thoughts. I have not conceded the concept of being a content creator, no matter where it doesn't take me or where it takes me. So I'ma deal with things the way Crips would deal with things. I'm not gonna deal with them the way other people that make content with you deal with things. And I think that's one of the things that Aiden kind of needs to understand, and not just Aiden Ross, like people in general. I think when people see content creators, they see streamers, they get this idea that, oh, that's just another streamer. When the reality is, Aiden, y'all started with streaming shit. This is where y'all come from. This is how y'all were introduced to everybody through fing streaming. When you got other people who was doing shit before they started streaming. So this is where the shit gets confused, and you can really f your head up trying to f around and dabble in a world that you got no business in, trying to bring your streaming rules into that shit. This is why you have somebody like academics be like, oh, we just potting, we potting, we potting, we potting.

SPEAKER_03 47:27

From the Maino pull-up list, Maino, this is all potted. Bitch, we don't want to hear the dike, bitch, that's a white chick. Come from Philly, nothing attractive, just ain't a bunch of dumb shit, limited knowledge and limited vocabulary. Any of y'all niggas get mad? We're potting.

SPEAKER_04 47:40

Your world is the streaming world, but you gotta understand there's people that come from other worlds that step into the streaming world, whether you like it or not. And the way that they rules built, they don't abide by the same law.

Lessons From Noriega, Iraq, And Libya

SPEAKER_05 47:52

Okay, that's enough of that. And um, but you get the you get the point. You get the point now. This Aiden Ross dude, he's been very, become very comfortable, he's very wealthy, he's made a lot of money with the streaming things. He's a gamer like the Kai Sinat kid. And um, you know, they they that's the new thing now, streaming and gaming, you know, the big money. And these are young, very young people, very young. But again, as the brother was saying, and fair use, by the way, as the brother was saying, that um these guys are really street guys. Now, my thing to Glasses of Malone would be this is not the place to to air your thoughts, what you're thinking. I always go back to to the scene in the movie Godfather, when when when uh Don Vito called Sonny over and said, What's the matter for you? I think I think all that fluff you playing with that young girl is gone to your head. Never tell anybody outside the family what you're thinking. So when it comes to this particular situation, don't tell nobody what you're gonna do or what kind of moves you're trying to make. Just do it. Then you talk. Don't even talk about it then because again, where I come from, 30 seconds after you do something, five minutes later, you never talk about it again. You do something, me and you do something together, and we, you know, we whatever it is, you know, whatever kind of criminal activity it may have been or illegal or whatever, five minutes after it's done, we never discussed it again. Because if you bring it up to me, I'm asking, what do you man, what are you talking about? Yo, that thing we did the other day, man. You remember that thing we did? Nah, I don't know what man, what are you you look you losing your mind? What are you crazy or something, man? What are you talking about? Yo, man, I think you need to go get some help, man. You remember the thing we nah, I don't know what you're talking about, man. Because you're not supposed to discuss it. The same thing when you when you it's uh you might have a problem with somebody and you you you you know there might be some kind of beef going on. You don't want to tell anybody that you're looking for them or you're coming for them or you want to do something to them. Why would I alert you like that? That's putting me at a disadvantage. Now Glasses Malone has has has said that he knows he can't get to Aiden Ross, but those cats around because he got black guys around him, because Aiden Ross is Jewish. But he has black uh gamers and streamers around him that that make money with him, you know, they they're flunkies. And you know, they gig the, you know, everything he says, they're giggling, you know, the the bootlicks, the the normal bootlicks and and and and hangers on. Uh they think everything he says is funny and they laughing and giggling. So he said, I'm not gonna press you because I know I can't get to you. You you you probably walk around, you got ten bodyguards with you, you you you got a you got a um a convoy of cars everywhere you go, like the CIA or something. You you live in an undisclosed place, nobody knows how to get to you. You said I I might not have that type of reach to get to you. But them cats around you, they don't have the money you have. I'm gonna press them. They're gonna have a problem. Since they like to giggle and everything you say, and everything you say is so cute and bubbly, and they always giggling and making fun of everything. So they're gonna be the ones that get the get the pressure. But again, I I I understand that. But again, you don't talk about what you're gonna do. You just do it. You put the belt to ass and do it, and don't talk about it no more. That's the way, that's the way I know. That's the way I know. So, yeah, family, yeah. So what else? Do we got anything else? I think we're gonna, I think that's pretty much it. But again, family, once again, man, I hope we all had a happy new year and I hope it's gonna be a prosperous year. Again, uh send in, send in the uh, send in some emails. Tell us what's on your mind, and share your thoughts with us and your concerns, and maybe uh you got some things that maybe we got some things that that uh we you want us to talk about up here. So just uh, yeah. And um we're gonna leave you in the words of Malik. We're gonna leave you in the words of my man Malik. Must respect life, love justice, cherish freedom, and treasure the peace. And we're gonna see y'all again next week. And uh come on back and sit with us for a little bit and hang out, and we're gonna see what it is. We're gonna see what it is. All right, peace.
