Peace and welcome back to Freeman's Affairs Radio. We back again this week. We're gonna try to shake the table up a little bit. Let me get that out the way. Drinking a little hot tea. But yeah, family, welcome back, welcome back, and thank you so much for tapping back in, tapping back in with us this week. As we, like I said, we attempt to shake the table a little bit. And today is January 27th, 2026. And the numerical focus for today is wisdom God. Wisdom God is the numerical focus. And that will bring us to Born. Right? I'm sitting here, I'm smiling to myself because I remember the mantra we used to use many, many years ago. Wise words, weighs and actions when it came to wisdom. Wise words weighs and actions. Um there can be an argument made for that. Some of that is true to it to an extent. Um, but I I I've come to realize in my journey that you have to, you can't always paint everything with a broad stroke with a brush of a bro, one broad stroke. You have to look at individuals in their in their solid in their solitude when they're alone. Because a lot of times we can make bold proclamations in public because of whatever pressures or expectations that may be upon us. But the main thing is is to observe a person in their solitude when they're alone and how they act or how they interact with their families in their private life. You know, and this can pretty much tell you what it really is. And when we get later on in this into the show, we can we can revisit that and see how people may change up under certain circumstances, or because of situational events, right? But we we're not gonna waste too much time on that right here, but we will the things that I wanna, you know, it's a lot going on with with in the entertainment world. You got the beefs in in black entertainment and uh celebrity gossip and all that stuff, and it's it's some of it is entertaining, some of it is is very uh unfortunate. But what I want to focus on here, what I want to focus on right now, at this particular first part of the opening segment, is and it's gonna tie into other things concerns in our community, and that is nobody's really talking about our women. And when I say our women, I'm talking about black women, the foundational black American women in the healthcare system that that overall affects the black society in totality. Right? There's not a whole lot of talk about that. And it it's really alarming to me when I sit back and uh in in in my solitude at times and I reflect on these things and I think about them. And what are we doing to protect our women that's giving birth to our children to the next generations? Right? Do we ever stop and just think about that? Now I wanna I've addressed this before in in um you know podcasters before, but but this really I think needs much more attention. And uh wanna bring in some some news, a little bit, a few clips, and we we can get into them. Hold on.
SPEAKER_14:Continue to impact disadvantaged populations. Well, news to you. McKenzie has more on how black women are more at risk than ever before.
SPEAKER_02:Life expectancy, mortality rates, and health disparities are affecting black women in America at an alarming rate.
SPEAKER_11:I just want to raise up Malcolm X's quote in the 1960s, where he said the most disrespected person in America is the black woman. The most unprotected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America is the black woman.
unknown:Dr.
SPEAKER_02:Shawneed Seeley Jefferson is an associate professor at Ohio State University. She says more needs to be done to save the lives of black women here in Mississippi and across the country.
SPEAKER_11:There's a lot more that needs to be done to address the root causes of these inequities in health. And that has never been done because what we see is worsening inequities in population health over time.
SPEAKER_02:According to the CDC, black women are three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than their white counterparts.
SPEAKER_11:Compared to other industrialized nations, the United States, the rates of maternal mortality in the United States are increasing and they are not increasing in our peer countries, which says something very specific, especially when the majority of pregnancy-related deaths are preventable.
SPEAKER_02:Dr. Seeley Jefferson says representation is important, and that encouraging African Americans to enter the healthcare field is just one way to combat the crisis.
SPEAKER_16:Now that right there, I I can't speak for anyone else, but to me, these things are alarming. And this is why, this is why right now in the in the this reset that we're doing, this delineation and the resetting, all this is very important to our concerns. Now, this is a big concern that that there's there's not a lot of conversation about. And for the life of me, uh I can't I can't really grasp the the understanding of why you know um we have these politicians that they come around every election cycle and they looking for the votes and they looking for this and they looking for that, looking for us to be out there marching, looking for us to be out there backing up these illegals, and I'm this is gonna segue into that. But the thing is why y'all don't address this. Yeah, you'll get on the Congress floor and you'll you know, the little, the little, what's that little chick name, the Jasmine Crockett chick, she'll say some catchy phrases and stuff like that, but there's really nothing being done on a government governmental level to address these disparities in the health health care industry, in the medical field, the medical industry. There's not what is being done now. There is organizations, there's organizations that um that address these things, but we it need there's this legislation that needs to be done to help with um uh uh doolas and stuff. Uh, you have this thing uh frontline doulas for for black women. Let me see if I can find that.
SPEAKER_13:And now one organization is trying to help. CBS's Elise Preston takes a look at a service in Los Angeles that's providing black women with a doula. That's a trained professional to guide them through the birthing process.
SPEAKER_05:Breathe in, two, three. Carrie Brunanz is counting down to when she and her partner Jeremy welcomed their first child, a baby boy. The healthy, expectant mother feared she would have to deliver at just 24 weeks. After having some early contractions, she says doctors misdiagnosed her with an open cervix. That was just like unnecessary and it was just hard. Bernans who felt her concerns over medications she was prescribed were being ignored, switched doctors and got a doula through Frontline Doolas, a community program that provides free access to care for black mothers in Los Angeles.
SPEAKER_18:I also wanted a black woman too. I wanted someone that can understand me, understand what I was going through, understand my body.
SPEAKER_05:According to the CDC, black women in the U.S. are nearly three times more likely to die from pregnancy complications than white women. Contributing factors include health inequities, mistreatment, and underlying chronic conditions. Doula Felicia Francis Edwards fights to improve those outcomes by advocating for families and providing physical, emotional, and informational support. According to studies, mothers who use doula's are less likely to require a C-section or use pain medication, and their babies are less likely to have a low birth weight. But doula services can cost upwards of$5,000, and most aren't covered by insurance. How do you think you would feel if you did not have your doula?
SPEAKER_18:I don't want to think about that. I probably would feel a bit more lost for sure.
SPEAKER_16:Yeah, check this out, family. It's not only, it's it's not only a thing of um financial, because this thing is all across the board, whether you you come from money or not. Yeah, I almost had to sneeze there. I didn't want to sneeze in the mic, but if I catch it, excuse me in advance. Anyway, this thing, um I'm gonna play some clips here uh concerning Beyoncé and Serena Williams, and these people have money, and they still had problems with their pregnancy um dealing with the medical industry. Hold on.
SPEAKER_03:Um, with her with her twins. Serena Williams almost died, uh, it seems from uh, you know, a blood clot. Um and so to your point, it doesn't matter whether, you know, you won a Grammy, you won a grand slam.
SPEAKER_19:One day, back in May, actually, I found this big mess on my neck. I was mortified by it, and I got test and everything you can imagine, everything was negative, and it turns out I had what they called uh cyst, a brachial cyst, to be exact. Um, so I ended up having to get it removed, and uh, it was so big it was the size of a grapefruit and the size of a grapefruit, we all know.
SPEAKER_17:But now that Serena Williams is no stranger to medical scares. She tells her stories, hoping that this will help others, and it will. She was very open, you may recall, about her new near-death experience after giving birth to her baby daughter Olympia, who's now six, when doctors found a blood clot after she alerted nurses that something's off, she was sort short of breath short of breath, and the nurses said, no, no, no, you're fine. She insisted on being tested, and then they realized she needed to have immediate surgery right away.
SPEAKER_16:See, right then and there, right then and then that that was that was Gail King r reporting on that. But right then and there, see, that's that's one of the problems. It's almost like in that industry, in the medical industry, when it comes to the black women, that they are some some strange, mysterious way, they are immune to any kind of pain. They don't feel nothing, and Serena Williams had to tell them, listen, there's something wrong here. And they was like, no, it's just this, this, and that. And this is very personal for me because um back in um back in 2001, um I lost my mother and um she was down in the state of South Carolina in the hospital, and she had went to the emergency, they came and got her an amalapse. Um one I believe it was one Friday. One Friday. I was down there visiting. Fortunately, I was there visiting and she took ill and they came and got her in amalapse, and you know, they took her to the hospital, and we went there that that that that day, that afternoon, to, you know, follow the amylapse to see what was going on or whatever, and everything seemed to be all right. She was having some issues breathing, there was some fluid or something in her lungs or whatever the case might be. And the next day I went to the hospital early. I went up there to go see her early. First thing and I noticed her speech was slurred and and uh her um there was something off. And I I this was a Saturday morning and I called to the to the nurse to the nurse that was on on duty and I said, There's something wrong. It seems it appears to me she stroked because her sp speech was she knew who I was and everything. She was con she was cognizant and she knew I was and you know and everything like that, but it it it had seemed that that there was there was something really off and I and it appeared to me that there was there was it might have been a stroke, and so when I uh alerted the nurse about it, she said no no, it's just the medication, and you know, the resident doctor isn't here because it's the weekend, so we got some residents that's feeling in, you know, now this is a white woman. And um I really got upset with with my father because I told him and I told my sister that listen, don't trust these people, but do not stay on top of this. It's like no, no, these are professional people, you know, because my fo you know, my father's a baby boomer and they come from that era, you know. Anything white folks say, you know, just don't don't don't don't don't don't shake the table. Don't don't don't don't don't stir up nothing. They know what they're doing, they professionals. And I said, no, no, no, no, no. There's something wrong. When you know your loved one and you know them and their habits and their and their um their norms, you know when something is off. And and these these uh medical people paid it no mind. And subsequently, they realized later on down the line, I had by the time I had left and came back to New York, but I was keeping in touch and trying to, you know, every day you calling and seeing what's going on. And it came out that she had indeed had some a series of many strokes, right? Due to the due to the oxygen cut off for the breathing, there was fluid on her lungs, so it was a lot of complications going on. But this but this thing had put a strain on the other organs of the body. It put a strain and it was causing other complications. So as the weeks were progressing, things were going on and on and on, and and this could have been avoided had she had the the proper um analysis or the proper care for what she she was supposed to be actually removed from that hospital and took into a specialist hospital down in Charleston for her condition. This is what I found out through my research later on. But water under the bridge, that's that is that is a gone thing. It happened and she's no longer here. But we're still dealing with these things, with these uh disparities. And when these women are going to these hospitals are giving birth, and they're telling these these nurses and alerting the medical staff that they're in pain and they're you know, this is going on, that's going on, and they'll tell you, no, no, no, it's just this, it's just that, you know, it's just the medication, and you know, don't worry about it. You know, we we got you, and everything like that. And these women are uh having these difficulties in these births. Right here in New York, in Wood Hall Hospital, there, this young woman went in to give birth, man, and died. Not and not just her, it was several others in Wood Hall Hospital. Go into the hospital and die. But for some odd reason or another, this is not a conversation on the floors of Congress. You know, this is not a conversation. We're talking, we we they on Congress on the Congress floor in any Senate hearings talking about e uh battling over foreign nationals. And they wonder why we're not getting involved or we don't want to, we really because we have our own, we have our plate full with our own issues. I was having a conversation with a with a with a friend of mine. Shout out to you, Dayshawn, Deshaun Musgrove, down in Florida, my man. And we wanted on a topic about Israel and Palestine. I usually don't get up here and comment on those things because that's not my affair. I myself, just like the rest of the world, see what's going on. We he we listen to the news, we look at what's going on, we see the the reports, and that's what it is. The Palestinians and and Israelis, they have the conflict. This this is nothing new, right? And this brother was trying to explain to me why we as black people uh should be taken up for injustice all over the world. That is first of all, that is not logical. It's not a logical uh stance, it's not strategic. And it's not even it's not even practical to have that that type of um that type of outlook. Let me get a bet in here because I'm getting feeling dry. So yeah, you know, and I I explained to him, man, we have an we've we have more than enough real estate in our track record. As Americans, as Heritage Americans, is Tucker Carlson put it. Right? Tucker Carlson and the guy, James Fishback, I think that's his name. They were having that conversation and calling us heritage Americans. And we are rightly slow. Rightly so, we are indeed heritage Americans. The black Americans, Foundationals, Freedmen. We are heritage Americans. Heritage Americans. Make no mistakes about it. I'm talking too loud on this mic because my levels are coming up here. But yeah. So I explain, I'm trying to explain to the brother like we have more than enough real estate in our track record and historically documented where we have fought for everyone. We've taken up everyone else's causes for decades. And it has depleted our beneficial um status. It has depleted that. How could I say the word? What is the word I'm looking for? Our moral compass is concerned. You know, because we our real estate, our moral real estate here in America is what has kept this country afloat. Think about it. I want you to think about that. Our moral compass and our moral position has what's kept America in grace, if you can call it that. Because the world had been looking at us and our fight and journey and struggles. Think about that. I'm not sitting up here capping. I'm not. Believe me, I'm not sitting up here trying to cap or trying to sound like I'm some kind of what you call it. You know, I just wanted to, because I went to um, I went to the uh what is let me see if can I find this thing? Nope, that's not what I want. I'm gonna go to because because I I typed this thing up in the chat in the uh in the uh AI thing, right? Let me see what it says here. Okay, because I had asked, I had I I put the question. So let me let me I asked the chat, like what what how is it beneficial, how would it be beneficial, beneficial to black Americans, the descendants of the emancipated, to involve ourselves in in the Palestine uh Israeli conflict. And the short answer was here, this is what they answered me with. The short answer here is there is no inherent benefit for American dis for American descendants of the emancipated inserting themselves into Palestine-Israeli conflict unless it directly serves our material material, political, or strategic interests. And most of the most of the time it doesn't. And they gave it a breakdown. This is a clear breakdown. First of all, it's not our lineage struggle. The conflict between Israel and Palestine is territorial, religious, ethnic, and geopolitical, geopolitical. It's not rooted in chattel slavery, post-emancipation sabotage, Jim Crow, lineage-based reparative claims. None of that. Those are all unresolved issues. Empathy versus obligation. This see, this is the thing we gotta think of. We can have empathy for people, but our obligation is to ourselves. First, moral outrage without leverage is unpaid labor. Many black Americans are pulled into the issue through social media, morality campaigns, emotional imagery, pressure to pick a side. But ask the hard question what do we gain in return? Certainly no political no policy concessions, no reparation support, land resources or any type of protections, anti-lynching enforcement, voting or economic uh guarantees at all. Meanwhile, our issues remain unfunded, unsupported, and unresolved. That's not solidarity, that's extraction. There's no solidarity. And Dr. John Henry Clark told us a long time ago, we have no friends. And I believe that. I really believe that. Now are there some individuals who have sympathy and empathy for us on some levels, and they may they may lend their voice at certain points in of time. Yes, I've seen that, but on the collective, no. Not at all. On the collective, none. So and it goes, let me see here. Let me open it up again. It says here, other groups advocate for themselves first. No other other, no other group pauses its own agenda to carry out, to carry ours. Sacrifices, political capital for black lineage claims, um, centers, freedmen issues and their movements. Then there's none of this talk, none of our issues are ever talked about in any of these other struggles. Right, even right now, we see this is this is evident that it's going on right now. They're not talking about nothing to do with us. They just want us out there marching, and hopefully, I can play the clip up here of what's going on up there in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is um with the with the recent police shootings up there, law enforcement shootings of white citizens and the white community is is really there they are in a in a whirlwind right now with that situation going on up there. And I'm it was one clip where I could hear I could hear old Reven Al back there. No justice, no peace. I could hear that, I could hear those chants, man. Y'all better go sit down somewhere. But let me let us continue with this. And talking to this, it says here, um they may express sympathy, but sympathy has never paid a bill or changed any statute. And this is correct. Never when it comes down to any legal statute or any legislation and change is nothing. Sympathy and empathy changes nothing, right? So the stoic position is, and I I'm I'm I try to prime myself around being a stoic. You know, I've seen so much. The reason why I've seen that, I've seen so much that nothing really excites me anymore. Nothing really. Nothing that's going on shocks me. It has no shock value to me. So I'm very stoic when it comes. So people say, well, you're heartless or you you're emotionless. No, it's not that. You become so numb to things that you start right away when something happens, you start trying to analyze what happened, what the situation is, and what's the resolution. I'm not getting caught up into oh my god, this, oh man, did you see what happened? Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Same thing when when you're in traffic and you might be on the highway driving and you see a big accident on the side of the road. It might be a tractor trailer, a couple of cars bent up and smashed up. You see the emergency vehicles out there, the the medic medical vehicles and the police lights flashing and everything. People will slow down traffic and it'll be slowed down for miles because people are looking to see what's going on. Instead of you minding your business, drive. The people that need to be there are there. There's nothing you can do for those people on the side of that road. There's nothing. Whatever casualties or injured people may be, the the necessary um people are there. The rescue people or medical people or whatever, they are there. Law enforcement is there. What what are you what are you getting out of slowing down, looking to see how bad it is, how gory, where's the blood at? Where just go drive your vehicle, man. Focus on the road. You got we got traffic backed up for two or three exits because of this accident. Now, these people on the side that they don't move everything to the side of the road. The traffic is free to go, but people are still looking and they're slowing down to look to see what happened. There's nothing you can do about that. So that's that's the stoic position is to just keep moving. Yes, you aware of the lights, and there was something that bad took place here, you you gotta keep going. There's nothing you can do. You're gonna pull over and and go investigate. Drive your vehicle. If if you're a praying person, you say your little prayer for who may ever been a victim or casualty, you say the prayer for the families or whatever, and you hope everything is all right, but you gotta keep going. So this is what we mean, right? Then it goes on further to say, um, so the story position is is observe, understand, and do not overextend. When would engagement make sense? This is the question that is raised. Only under very specific conditions, if U.S. foreign policy trade or trade-offs directly affect black Americans materially, if a coalition offers explicit, written, enforceable support for freedmen's specific demands, if engagement advances our leverage, not just our emotions, absence for that. Silence is not ignorance, it's discipline. Neutrality is not apathy. You can acknowledge human suffering, reject civilian harm, refuse propaganda without marching, donating, arguing online, trying to try uh tying your identity to someone else's war. Stoicism is knowing where your responsibility ends. The bottom line is for American descendants of emancipated, our priority is unfinished business at home. Our political capital is limited. I just said that. Not your focused, right? And that's where we at with that. And then I I um went into the um the un the unreported things about black women, you know, in the maternal um in the in the healthcare industry, right? And then this the stats are right here, the stats are right here. And um that says I went into that a little bit, and it says these things stay widely underreported. The quiet truth is medical disparities affecting foundational black Americans, FB often collapsed into people of color or minority categories, erasing lineage, framed as individual behavior instead of structural neglect, studied academically but never translate into media language, politically inconvenient because they apply state liability. They imply state liability. Institutions like this, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and National Institutes of Health already have the data. What's missing is a nar is a narrative pressure. That's that's where we come in at. The narrative pressure. Being that these things are not talked about, we talk about everything except our issues, right? The things that are affecting us, the diabetes, the high blood pressure, um, the the first and foremost, the women's health care. Man, we you know, let's not fool ourselves up here. Let's not fool ourselves up here and think that we can create a society for foundationals without our women. These are the first teachers and nurturers of the children, of our children. So if we're not doing everything we can to protect them, right, to build a nucleus around that, we ain't doing nothing, man. And I'm sitting here running my mouth, I'm sitting here running my mouth, but I want to get some things done legislatively, legislatively, that will protect our women. This doula program is a is a is a great start. But as you heard in the report, the financing for it can be very expensive. Upwards of five thousand dollars, five, seven thousand dollars for this type of care. But the women need it. So why not create legislation that will address that in the insurances? We're talking about all this other crap, these illegals now and stuff, you know, these foreign nationals. But we got a big fight here, man. We got we, you know, I'm not gonna feed somebody outside of my home. I'm gonna give them a dozen eggs and a loaf of bread so they can eat for the next couple days. Meanwhile, I I got I got um a bottle of water in my refrigerator and and and a tray of ice cubes in the freezer. No vegetables, no meat, no nothing. Nothing's going on, nothing but water and ice cubes in the freezer. But I just gave somebody outside my home, because they're hungry, a whole loaf of bread and a dozen of eggs so they could eat for the next couple of days. Does that make sense? It's not even it's not logical, it's not practical. And we gotta be practical and logical about what's going on with us. We first, America first, right? And then then our lineage first, our women first, our children first. Because the women are giving birth to the children. We gotta take care of them. And I want more, I want more talk about this. I want I want this I want this in the narrative out front. Later for Jasmine Crockett and all of Jazzy, her little stunts and on the Congress floor and uh with her eyelashes and shaking her head and all with all the little catchy phrases. Never mind all that. Never mind that. Never mind all this goofy other stuff that's going on. Never mind that. Who are giving birth to the children and they're being mistreated and neglected in these institutions, in these hospitals, when they go for for prenatal care and different things like that, and they're explaining to these people they may be having a pain or some type of discomfort. Let's look into that. Oh no, don't worry about it. We got we we you know, we we got the we got all the information. We know what we're doing. Yeah, of course you know what you're doing. Back to the lessons, remember? The story of Yaqub and how how the devil was graft that was brought into existence. The nurses and the babies putting needles in the heads of the babies. That did that stuff didn't come out of a vacuum. It didn't come out of thin air. There was some definite, definite science to those proclamations. Right? So, yeah, family. Now, um, what else we got here? What else we got here? Oh, I did, I did want to play, I wanted to go into the you know, this thing here where people have us out here, they want us to be out here protesting and different things like that. Yeah, and for the for the uh, I have documents here from the CDC, from the Pew Research Center concerning um the uh disparity in childbirth. I have all of that stuff. That documentation is right here. So any of you email us or anything like that and you want the information, I will gladly get up here and turn the mic on and speak about it. But moving forward, moving forward, we want to go up to um want to go up to um Minneapolis, Minneapolis, Minnesota up there. And what's been going on, you know, there's been there's been recent um unalivings of some citizens there. And these have been, you had you the week or two ago, you had the Renee Good woman who was shot in Unalived by ICE agents, and now this guy, um Alex uh uh pretis. So let's go, let's go first, let's go to Sab Sabby. She has some very interesting uh takes on this stuff. Hold on a second.
SPEAKER_04:Push to the ground. Hold on, let me rewind that following what is going on with ICE in Minneapolis and across the country. Yesterday, a gentleman by the name of Alex Predus was killed by ICE agents. Now, before we get into the details, I want to play for you the statement that was given by Christy No. And then we're gonna show you what actually happened because this won't end well for the Trump administration. You have people who are conservatives that have changed their position once they saw the video footage, and it may come from people that you least likely expect, giving you the warning now. So let's get into what they said. This was Christy Gnome and Greg Bovino saying the exact same thing. So this goes to show you they had a script. Listen to this an individual approached the U.S.
SPEAKER_10:Border Patrol officer with a nine millimeter semi-automatic handgun. The officers attempted to disarm the individual, but the armed substance reacted violently.
SPEAKER_04:Go back. Listen to what they said happened, what he did. An individual approached the U.S.
SPEAKER_12:Border Patrol officer Patrol agent with a nine millimeter semi-automatic handgun semi-automatic handgun.
SPEAKER_04:Did not happen. Let's continue. The officers attempted to disarm the individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. Also did not happen. Line number two. Medics were on the scene. Did not, that's not the way it happened immediately and attempted to deliver medical aid to the subject, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
SPEAKER_10:The suspect also had two magazines with ammunition in them and dozens of rounds. He also had no idea. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill long.
SPEAKER_04:An individual okay. I wanted you to hear the statement that was given by them. Okay.
SPEAKER_16:Fair use, by the way. Fair use, fair use, fair use. But this is very important. Pay attention to this family.
SPEAKER_04:Here's another one. A lot of people are calling this out, too. Christy Nohm, listen to what she says here about protesters.
SPEAKER_10:And um, I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign.
SPEAKER_04:And she doesn't know any peaceful protesters that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign. People were pointing it out. Even conservatives are calling it out on social media. Kyle Rittenhouse showed up to a protest with a gun. Heavily armed protesters gather again at Michigan, Michigan Capitol to decry.
SPEAKER_16:You heard that? Kyle Rittenhouse showed up to a protest with an AR-15. And he unalived two people. But this this woman sitting here lying in this narrative, talking about she don't know of any protesters ever come to a protest carrying weapons and and uh other than you know they're supposed to only have signs, but she don't know of any. But let's get back to it. Let's get back to it, family.
SPEAKER_04:A at-home order. They showed up armed. We cannot forget also some, not all, but some of the January 6th protesters showed up armed. What the hell is Christy Noam talking about? People just just blatant lies. Now let's get into what actually happened. And I I gotta tell you, this guy, oh boy, we we saw them kill kill a white woman. They killed a white guy who was a veteran affairs nurse. And when people talk about America first, you can't get more American first than that. So let's start with the first one. Shout out to Stellar Man. Belligerent Ice Agent goes out of his way to shove the female bystanders.
SPEAKER_16:Check this out, family.
SPEAKER_04:He gets dragged away from her, jumped by six agents, disarmed, and then murdered. So let's see who actually escalated things, shall we? Here's the video. Right there. You see how he pushed that woman? Right here. What did she do? So once again, you see who is escalating. This woman didn't touch them. We have multiple videos to show you from different angles. She didn't touch them, they were recording, which you are legally allowed to do.
SPEAKER_16:She said illegally, but the term she's looking for is legally.
SPEAKER_04:Look who pushes again. The agent pushes. People are yelling, don't touch them. So do you see? There's the pepper spray. Do you see him pointing any weapon at them? No. His hand was in the air. He was raising his hand. He was basically trying to protect those women. Continue. This guy right here in the light gray jacket is a very important person and definitely should be questioned. We have to stop it here because obviously we are not going to show him being, you know, actually killed on this show. But that's one angle. Let's go to another angle because it's fair to have different points of view, right? Now, there was a woman who was recording that was wearing a pink jacket. Dropsite news shared it yesterday. Another angle of federal agents killing a Minnesota legal observer, which appears to come from the direction of the woman in the pink jacket filming from the sidewalk. So this was the angle that everyone was waiting to see. This is Alex right here in the brown coat. Watch this. Notice he had a cell phone in his hand. So at this point, Alex is filming what is happening. You don't see him have any weapon in his hand, none of that. Let's continue. So he pushed her onto the ground. So again, the way that Christy Nome tells this story is that Alex Prettis approached them armed as if he was the antagonizer here. He was not. So we see who instigated things. People were saying, well, they were filming ice. You are allowed to film in a public space. I know this because those of us that have done interviews and on the ground reporting, which I've done before as well, these are things we had to look up. I had to look up that information to see am I allowed to record here? Am I allowed to record there? You're allowed to do that. They were upset because they were being recorded. Let's continue. So you have pushed two people and now you pepper spray. This should have been the end of it here. If we want to get technical, let's continue. Alex is right here. He's trying to shield this woman. He's trying to protect that woman. Honestly. Now we pause here. We're going to get a close-up view as well. The guy right here in the gray jacket, what you saw him do was he was going through Alex's pockets, and that's when he realized again, oh, okay, this guy has a gun. He's got a gun. Let me take his gun. The guy in the gray jacket then grabs the gun from Alex's pocket and runs away with it. I'm going to show you the close-up. At this point in time, Alex no longer has a gun. He's been pepper spray, pushed to the ground, whatever it is they're trying to do to him on the ground, and they shot him anyway. Not only did they shoot him, they shot him multiple times while he was on the ground. Let's go to the next part here.
SPEAKER_16:Well, we get the idea, family. I'm not going to play any more of it because we get the idea of it. And we, family, these stories are all too familiar for us, right? We know this. And we've been telling for decades. We've been telling the narrative. We've been explaining the narrative. Nobody listens. Oh, you, you know, you're violent. You ain't got no business out there protesting. You're protesting for nothing. And you're protesting for George Floyd. He was a criminal and a drug addict. And you're protesting Mike Brown. You're protesting this and that, Breonna Taylor, and all of this. You know, man. They talk about black fatigue. Well, we got white exhaustion. And um, first of all, these people out there, you know, they believe in the cause for whatever reason. I don't agree with their with their cause. I'm not getting out there um protesting for no foreign nationals. Because those same foreign nationals have a negative effect on my community, on my lineage. People of my lineage. So I'm not gonna, I'm not, you know, I'm all for these agents doing their job. What happened to this young man, Alex uh Pratis? I don't agree with that. This man didn't have, he wasn't the aggressor according to the video. You listening to to Sabi and salute Sabi Savati, she's very inspiring to me. I inspire to be uh on her level at some point and doing these reports and and covering these stories and and on doing this journalism. She she's she she's dynamite, man. She she really does her thing. So salute Savvy. Salute. I support her. I listen to her a lot. I send um donations into her for the work she does because it's very, very pivotal what she does. Very important work. So yeah. That's that's Sabi Savati on Sabby Sab uh YouTube channel. Very good sister, man. Very good. I've um have I ever spoken to her? I've communicated with her on her pro on her platform. You know, I never spoke to her. But yeah, so that's the thing. But I want to play something real quick here, and we're gonna move on to the last last part of the the uh today's program. And um I want to get a little something in here just for you to take with you. Let's see, can we get it? Let's see, can we get it in here? Give me one second, family. Give me a sec.
SPEAKER_00:For all the black Americans saying ice isn't our problem.
SPEAKER_01:Peace. How can you laugh at a time like this? How can you you joke and dance around and be easy at a time like this? How can you post videos living your life, loving your family, at a time like this? I saw a video of a black mutual of mine who was essentially asked those questions in response to him posting a funny post on the same day that Ice had taken yet another life. How can you? Now, this is someone who posted conscious content on the regular, along with other personal relatable content. But on this particular day, the question was, how could you? As if he was shirking a responsibility, with the implication that it should be all hands on deck. At a time like this, a time like what? To who? A time like the triangle trade, slavery, the Jim Crow era, the Holocaust, a time like the genocide, reconstruction, the civil rights era, a time like the crack era, the LA Rebellion, mass incarceration era, a time like what? And for who? Black Americans? People with disabilities? Palestinians? Congolese? Poor people? A time like what? For who? Now, to be clear, I am not an absolutist, and I am certainly not an isolationist. I'm not one of the this is not our problem, black folks. Most intelligent and informed black people know good and well that if they do that to y'all, they'll do worse to us. History has shown us as much. So we're gonna do what we do because it's what we have always had to do through generations of times like this, and trying to ring the alarm for those of you who wasn't trying to hear it until the time came that it was your turn. But we black parents have been sending our children out into the world knowing that they could get Emmett Till, they could get Trayvon Martin, they could get Mike Brown, and be villainized posthumously over a cigarello or a bottle of orange juice. And when we say that our lives matter, have many of you retort with all lives matter. People who are suspiciously silent at the moment, especially those of the White Lives Matter variety. One wonders why. But I digress. It has always been a time like this for us. Those of us who've had to learn to live and love and laugh under duress for the entirety of our time here. Generations of us who've always known what you were just now discovering. That it's not that to white supremacists we are nothing but collateral damage, it's that to white supremacists we are nothing. And now you know, white supremacy was not created for white people. White people were created for white supremacy. It will always be a time like this for people like us. And you, not like us. Unless you are black, and I don't mean everybody black. Stay out of black folks' comments trying to dictate how we cope at a time like this. For me, that means posting content that will inspire, not just enrage. I will continue to love, laugh, be the best me that I can be for those whom I'm here to serve. But it is not up to you to dictate how we do what we do at a time like this. We out here.
SPEAKER_16:Yes, we are out here. And that's my exact sentiment. We have enough that we we've told, we've explained all of these things that's happening. You see these white people getting unalived by law enforcement. And from from what I understand, they these are these these are the um the Trump um ICE people doing this. They running up on people unaliving them. If you if you interfering with our operations, you're gonna get shot in your face several times. We know this already. Other people are starting to find this out. We knew this. We do this. You know? We do this. Let me see what I what's what else I got here. Because I don't I don't want to leave the leave nothing that we supposed to talk about today. And I'm telling you, black folks, stay your behinds home. Don't be out there and you can you can you can you can bookmark what I'm saying here. I don't care. And we'll come back at it uh next year, whatever you want to say about me. I'm telling my folks, people of my lineage, don't take your behinds out there protesting and getting in these people's face about what they're doing to these foreign nationals, these illegal foreign nationals. Now, if these people coming in the country legally in the right way, fine, fine, let them come here, but they're not coming here like that. And they come in here depleting our communities out of the resources that we supposed to be getting. You remember I reported on this stuff about a year ago. All of the the um the the the snap cards they were getting and these thousands of dollars in snap benefits and all of this stuff. And these people weren't even citizens here. So I don't want to listen, man. Listen, y'all go ahead with that. Y'all go ahead with that, bro. And um, yeah, so so we don't we don't we don't care nothing about none of that stuff. We don't care nothing about none of that. Let me let me see, can I find something else here I wanted to go into? Cause this dude, man, with Corey, hold on. Because I gotta get into that goofy stuff before we, because I know y'all want to hear about that. I already know. I I already know. Let me see, can I find it up here? Cause this stuff done got out of hand and it's crazy. It's crazy. It's really crazy. I mean, yeah, I got it. Anyway, I'm gonna play it in a second. But uh, are we done with everything else? Let me check the time. Yeah, that's pretty much it. We've been up here about almost an hour already. So yeah, that's that's uh that's pretty much it. Stay up behind zone. Don't be out there protesting and getting in these people's way and getting in their face and obstructing them from doing whatever it is they're assigned to do. We don't know the ins and outs and the pros and cons of it. I don't, me personally, I don't have anything against these um these foreign people, but if you hear a big lead, I want you to go home. I want you to go home and come back the right way. It's simple as that. And I'm not getting out there protesting, I'm not lending any of my energy or or our political uh fortitude or our political morale to anybody else but our concerns. It's like at the top of now we talked about the disparities disparities in in uh women, uh women giving uh childbirth, and we gotta that's one of the biggest issues to me. And it's it's very um it's it's it's becoming very focused in my mind. What what to do about this? How can we get some legislation to to address this? So I don't have time to be out there marching and carrying signs and shouting in bullhorns and stuff about some some foreign people that I know nothing about. You understand? So we're gonna we're gonna leave that right there. But moving on to the last part, we're gonna get ready to get out of here, moving on to the last part. You know, Corey Holcomb. You know, now I'ma say this, I'ma say this. The thing he said about the about the child, the daughter of Anton Daniels, I didn't agree with that. I I thought it was unnecessary, being that Corey is a comedian and he's very creative, and that's What he does. That's where you excel at. See, as I said last week, he had no business really having that conversation with Anton, but he didn't do his homework. And I think Corey was genuine in having a conversation with that fella. But if he'd have done his homework or anybody on his team had done their research on the guy, and they would have known that that guy is about clicks and views. He's another form of Charleston White. Everything is about clicks and views and how outrageous things you can say to agitate and and antagonize people. That's what that's his lane. That's what he's about. He's been very clever in building a brand off of that kind of tactic. He comes off like he's some kind of scholarly dude or something like that. There's nothing smart about him. He may be smart in a room of people that are not smart. He may seem smart. But to anyone with with with any uh cognitive stability in their minds or any kind of capabilities of of uh rational thinking and logic thinking, he seems like an idiot to me. I don't listen, I don't listen to his stuff. I have no interest, you know, because he's another one of these black so-called black conservatives that that that make his lick out of um punching down a black black society and and in particularly black women. And uh so he went up and he went and matched with with Corey and you know let him tell it, man, he man, I bullied that nigga. I bullied him as soon as I walked in the studio. I smell pussy because I know he's a he ain't nothing. I bullied that, I I cooked that nigga from the time I walked in the door. See, that's the that's the bravado that he displays. And Corey is not an intellectual at all. Corey's a comedian and a dark comedian at that. Right? I don't know why you picked that guy to go to go mess with, man. I don't know why, because now to Corey's credit, Anton said on the show, and when they was having that exchange, Anton said, I don't have no boundaries. He said, I ain't got no boundaries. So what are you crying for? The dude says something about your wife and your daughter. What are you crying for? Now, like I said, I don't agree with it because I think Corey could have he could have came up with something that didn't have to involve the kid, because the kid is a minor, she's a minor, and Corey posted, you know, they on the show there last week, he posted the picture of her and she looked like her father, and um you know he caught a lot man. Some people thought it was funny. I I I saw the humor in it, but at the same time, she's still a minor and it was unnecessary. Corey, you too creative. You could have you could have waxed that dude effortless effortlessly with just your humor. He gives you enough material and ammunition. Look at the dude, look at him. But Corey, Corey took that thing to another level, and he was like, you know, you brag on not having kids out of wedlock, and you've been married for two, two and a half decades, and you ain't never cheated on your wife. Who gonna cheat with you? Even with your money, bro. Even with the money you getting off of YouTube, don't know women want to have no kids with you. Cause they they bro, and when he showed that picture, I was like, oh my goodness, why? Why'd you do that, Corey? Why? That child had nothing to do with none of this stuff. And now, here's the hypocrisy in it. He talking about, oh, he had to snatch out of school and she was crushed by it. First of all, Corey films, he he broadcasters at 8 something after 8 p.m. Western uh Pacific time, right? On the East Coast, that's uh around 11:30 at night. You mean your daughter was up watching Corey Holcomb and she saw that and had a breakdown? According to him, she went to school, she was in the principal's office crying because you know people are teasing her and she's been doxxed and all of this. Well, bro, you didn't protect your your family. Corey spoke on his wife. I spoke on his wife last week. Now, I didn't call her out her name, I didn't call her an ugly woman. I just said she was she was about a five, maybe a five, strong five. Um, she's not an ugly, I don't think she's an ugly woman, but she's not a dime. Like this guy portrays his his everything about him is solid gold, like it's platinum. He don't mess with nothing beneath uh uh a hundred percent. You know, he don't, he don't, you know, everything he touched is just is shining with diamonds. And your wife is not a dime, bro. She's not even cute. She's not an ugly woman, but she ain't something you would say, yo, I gotta go high like that. I got yo. You seen Shorty? I got yo. Nah, it ain't that kind of it's not that. It's not that. And for you to talk about women the way you do and put down black women, and you've and he has said horrible things about women, black women and children. Horrible things. But now, and Corey, Corey just ain't stopped there. Let me play something for you here. Hold on a second. Hold on, let's get to it, family. Hold on.
SPEAKER_15:It's gay. I'm gonna tell you right now to your face. Oh, listen to what I'm trying to tell you, man.
SPEAKER_08:You want to talk about everybody else, wife, kids, and everybody? Or when somebody says something about you?
SPEAKER_16:Now, family, just to be give you a visual, I'm playing this audio for you. But Corey is in some kind of park or something, and he's sending a message to Anton, and he has a gorilla mask on, uh like a Halloween gorilla mask on. But check him out.
SPEAKER_06:Y'all got to go to therapy. Right? And so I'm looking at these women, and the women's breath say the kids is dirty and nasty, kids is dirty and nasty.
SPEAKER_08:Hey, look here, boy. I'm gonna give you alone. You leave me alone, I'ma leave you alone. But if you don't, it's gonna be my monkey baby.
SPEAKER_07:I'm a Christian face.
SPEAKER_15:I'ma tell you right now to your kids.
SPEAKER_08:You wanna talk about everybody else? What kids and everybody? Or will somebody say something about you?
SPEAKER_06:Y'all gotta go to therapy. And so I'm looking at these women, and the women's brothers say the kids is dirty and nasty, kids is dirty and nasty.
SPEAKER_08:Hey, look here, boy. I'm gonna give you alone. You leave me alone, I'ma leave you alone. But if you don't, it's gonna be more monkey baby.
SPEAKER_07:I'm a Christian first. I'm a Christian first.
SPEAKER_08:Yo, fam, yo, yo, this dude is yo, Corey is the nut.
SPEAKER_16:Yo, family, go look that up. I think it's in TikTok. It's a clip. Oh, type in Corey Hokum in the Gorilla Mask message to Anton. Family, I watched that thing like 10 times. Yo, my yo, I've my stomach was hurting. I was, yo, this dude got a gorilla mask on. He told him, yo, I'm gonna give you out. You leave me alone, I'm gonna leave you alone. But if you don't, it's gonna be some more monkey. And he's swinging on the thing, or he's making them the monkey sound. I'm like, yo, Corey is Corey's evil, man. Corey is just straight evil. But I mess with Corey. I like Corey Hokum. You know, he's having some controversy right now with some some chick or whatever. He has supposedly punched in the face. I seen the video, it didn't look like a punch to me or whatever. I'm not gonna get here to get into that. But Anton, bro, you picked the wrong dude, man. Yeah, you did your little thing and got your little clicks and views, and you ran up the the um the money and stuff with with that interview, that little stunt you did on his show. But man, what at what price was that worth it? Now you got you, you didn't protect your family, bro. You got your wife and your kids out there. Now you want you talking about lawsuits and all this, and you Christian and you want people to pray for you and your family. Who did you ever pray for when you was out here to speak? You I I played the audio for you where you were talking about black women and black children just now. But now somebody says something about your family. You want to run the court, go get lawyers and and press uh start lawsuits up, and your daughter needs therapy and all this. And I'm not, I'm not um again, it was unnecessary to do that with the with the child. I don't think that was necessary, but man, bro, you picked the wrong dude, man. That dude is dark, man. Corey goes talk. Corey talks about his own children. He talks bad about his own children. What make you throw what made you halfway think that you were safe? You know, you you you know, back to that that that that when you catch people in their solitude, you know, you was a humble dude when you first started out on the YouTube thing. And the more success you got, the more arrogant and and despicable you got. Right? Because you changed the money, that little bit of money changed you. Cause you're not you don't come from that. You're not used to that. You never you've been overlooked all your life. You've been called ugly because that is an ugly boy. Now I'm not saying I'm not sitting here saying I'm no pretty boy, I'm tall, dark-skinned dude, you know, fairly handsome. I as I've been told. Um, my woman is beautiful. So you know, I I'm not sitting here saying I'm no great looker or nothing like that, but my woman is beautiful. I mean, over the years now, she done she done put a little weight on, so you know, she thinks in all the right places, so don't get it twisted. But my woman is absolutely beautiful. You understand? So, so I ain't got no complaints. You know, I'm good. I'm good on that end. But bro, that's an ugly boy. That boy is Uga Lee. You understand? There should be a law against that man looking like he looked and he just that's why you need all of the the the$8,000 uh glasses on and the Rolex watch and and the Koogie Who's still wearing Coogie? That must be a Detroit thing. I don't know. We we've been gave that up since the since the 90s. We we done gave up the cooie thing. That's been over with since the late 90s. It's that's could early 2000s, that was done. And here it is 2026, and you you bragging on Coo G. But that's the you a lame. That pro furthermore proves you you how much of a lame you are. You walk around with Cooji and Timbs, you 43 years old, bro. Not saying it's nothing wrong with Timberlands, you know. I got a couple of pairs of Timbs, a few pairs. But I ain't walk that that don't mean nothing. It's it's we got a snow snow blizzard here in the East Coast in New York. It's snow everywhere outside. I'm gonna put them boats on and go walk. Yo, do run my errands and do what I gotta do. So I ain't out there trying to look apart. It don't mean nothing to me. I already did that. I did that when I was a teenager. We we looked apart. But anyway, we're gonna get ready to blow out of here, family. That was that was hilarious. That was hilarious. So, yeah, man, we're gonna we're gonna get in on and we're gonna get on out of here. Let y'all go. And uh again, once again, if you got any concerns, anything you want us to talk about, send us clips or any kind of data, information you want to send, hit us at freedman's affairs radio, gmail.com, and we're gonna be looking for that. And family, as my man Malik always says, respect life, love justice, cherish freedom, and treasure the peace. And we're gonna see y'all next week, and we'll come back and we'll shake the table up again and get it together, all right. Okay, peace.
