Opening Greetings & Theme Of Understanding

SPEAKER_06

Peace and welcome back. Welcome back, Freeman's Affairs Radio. And right out the gate, I want to say that we are greatly appreciative of you pressing that button and tapping back in with us again on this great sunrise today, March 3rd of 2026. The numerical focus will be understanding. But before we get into that, before I go we go into that, we got today, we got today. We got my man up here, my brother, my big brother, I always call him. We got King in the house with us. And I want y'all to welcome him in and go ahead, King. Do your thing, man. Give us the peace. Give us the peace and give us the numerical focus for the day.

SPEAKER_07

Peace, the numerical focus for the day is understanding. The month is understanding, the day is understanding. And we know the understanding is the elevation, the culmination of knowledge that we seek and obtain, and the wisdom that is derived from that knowledge. However, the understanding is decreed. The babies, the best part of knowledge and wisdom. And it's the mass that is used in order to develop our culture. A culture of understanding. Peace.

Honoring Lineage: Bios Of William Casby And Frankie Lymon

SPEAKER_06

That is peace. That is peace. And bro, we got so much to cover. We got so much to cover. Things happening around the world and we gotta touch. We usually try to stay focused on subject matters and concerns about our lineage. However, we can't just stick our heads in the sand and act like there's not a world going on around us. And we have to pay attention to that because it affects everything. You know, we just we had war now. We had war. And these things affect the the markets. It affects your the people getting up going to work every day that that's working from check to check. Pay period to pay period. It affects the banks, it affects the the the food markets. So we can't just go around, you know, and just act like there's nothing else going on. But before I get into that, there's this two there's two um bios, because I try to give the bios up here every week. And I started it some time ago, but I would I would stop and pick it back up. I recently just started it again because of the Black History Month thing, and I said that I will continue doing it during the course of the show. And it's gonna it's gonna be a a a this is gonna be an institution, a part of the show. You understand? Each week we'll do a bio or two because there's so many people, and and we'll explain later on when we get into the meat of our discussion up here today. We'll get into that and I'll tell you why I'm doing that. But um one of the bios today I want people to go and and and look up is is uh is a man named William Casby. He was uh at the time of the I'm looking at the photo here, at the time of the photo, he he was 106 years old. However, he lived to 113. And he was he was born into slavery and um in this in this particular picture he's holding his his three times great-grandchild he's holding in that picture. And um I think that child was born in the 19 early 1960s. So he lived, he lived a long time. And this is part of uh this is part of the the argument we make for things like reparations and stuff like that, when they tell us, oh, that was so long ago, and this and that, and and try to um because they don't want us talking about it, so they try to make it where oh it's so long ago, why y'all still talking about it? But this man was holding his great his great grand great great great grandchild in his arms, and he was born into slavery. You see how ironic that is? And the other the other bio that I want people to go look up, because we I don't have time to re we don't have time, we got so much up here, we really don't have time to go into the the meat and potatoes of the bios this week. So that's why I'm giving you the references to go look up. His name is William Casby, and the other bio is uh a singer by the name of Frankie Lyman. Now he's a very interesting, he died very young, 25 years old, died of a heroin overdose, but his journey was was something to behold. He was uh one of the first, I believe, um, black pop artists. Or or should I say crossover artists? What is the word I'm looking for? Is it pop artist? Yeah, crossover. That's it. He he was one of the first crossovers, right? And this is before he was doing live shows, every the white people thought he was he was white the way he was singing. And when he would do shows, I I don't know if you ever seen this king. When he was doing shows, the the white girls would be screaming and screaming and screaming, and then when he came out on stage and he's as he singing, you could see this the facial expressions changing. I don't know if you ever seen that video.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, I've seen it.

Breaking News: Strikes In Iran And Regional Stakes

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, and they was like, they couldn't believe that this was this this sound was coming from this this black kid. He was a a young kid. And they Frankie Lyman and the Teenagers. Frankie Lyman and the Teenagers. That was the name of the group. And he was the lead for that group, and he had a he had a tumultuous uh tailspin spiraled down into into the to the to the narcotics, and he it was just a tragic story, and they found him he had overdosed of Harron in uh in his grandmother's bathroom. But a very interesting story nonetheless. And um as I said, we got a lot to get into. We're gonna we're gonna start with this uh we're gonna we're gonna start with this um this this this uh recent attack in um excuse me. Recent attack in Iran. Um everybody's talking about, so now let's uh let's see can we get get get some um get some uh uh a clip of soundbite in here. Hold on just a second.

SPEAKER_01

Um posting this just now, stating that the Israeli Air Force is now launching a new wave of strikes against Tehran. We had some video that we played out a short time ago of one of those strikes from earlier this morning. But as we continue to take a look at the development of Operation ethnic fury, I mean, this is not going to let up President Trump stating that this mission could last days, if not we hear this new information. Can you talk about you know the goals of these military operations? And also on the flip side, Iran continuing to retaliate as well.

SPEAKER_03

I think I think that's I don't think this is going to go away very quickly. Um first of all, and and as far as the concern, it's a little unusual that these buildings are doing to fight. It is roughly 5 30 p.m. Um in Israel and in Iran. Um so it's a little unusual that that that these drugs would be done at this hour. Um more of them tend to be done overnight. Um but it what it also shows you what it also tells you is that um the the Israelis and the Americans have air cover, that there's very they have very little concern over Iranian uh myself defense system um surface of the air missile. So uh that's one thing that it tells you but it also tells you that there's there's a lot of targets um where the both the Americans and the Israelis willing to to attack both personnel and they're trying to get to all of the rocket launchers because we've seen the the Iranians of missiles and connected in Dubai and the UAE and Bahrain and Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Most of those have caused no damage and have been repelled, but but in Dubai they have now uh overnight there was uh a big attack in the road to about 15 kilometers from from uh Georgia. Um these attacks are gonna continue. This is not something that's going to be over anything. We don't know yet the full theory of what the reality will be.

SPEAKER_01

Let's talk about the the goals from the the US and Israel. You were talking about these are very targeted strikes. We're taking a look weaponly, we're taking a look at some of the top leaders. The supreme leader was killed, 40 of the top leaders were uh also killed in the initial strike. When we take a look at where Iran stands right now in terms of mission accomplished for the United States and Israel, where do we stand with that?

SPEAKER_03

Uh we don't stand anywhere yet. We we don't know. It is far too early. If we want regime change, then the the protesters or people in in Iran are going to need to take control of at least one or two major institutions of government, most likely the army or the IRGC, which is the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Those are really the the the hardcore people, so it's unlikely that it'll be the IRGC.

SPEAKER_06

All right, King. Let's uh I'm gonna I'm gonna pause this. Hold on. Oh, wait a minute. Yeah, I'm gonna pause this and get get um let's let's uh chop it up a little bit about that and and where where this is going and you know because we've been warned about these things, we've been warned. And actually, Minister Farrakhan spoke on this. He spoke on this, he he released a statement on this. Um where you at with this, man.

SPEAKER_07

Um really is the the same play that they've been doing. You know, the the is it really's uh the small hats or jaywalkers, whatever you want to call them. Um able to manipulate us into believing that that the war against them or the beef with against Iran, Iraq, and them is somehow a war against all the Western powers, right? So they get someone else to fight their battles for, like they get a somebody bigger because Israelis have the fourth largest military in the world behind America, um Britain, and um France, right? They have the most nuclear weapons all of that, and they don't want to get nuclear weapons because they've been common enemies for so long. So the same play they play, they'll say, okay, they have this weapons of mass destruction, we gotta go in there and kill them. That's what they did to them the uh Bush and um the Bush presidency, and now they're doing the same thing again. They're going in there and they bombing. They say they're going in there to bomb because they want to stop them from developing a nuclear weapon, so they use something that they know to scare the people so much that they're gonna back them up. Because nobody wants a state that you have been sanctioned as a terrorist, the number one terrorist uh supporter in the world to have control of nuclear weapons. So they say that's the reason we're going there and bombing. But then when you pull the labels back and pull the shit off, you look at what really happened, they went in there and made targeted attacks on the leaders. They killed the leader of the revolutionary guard, they kill the the I killed, yeah. They kill him, they kill his deputy, they kill his, I think, his daughter and and one of his grandchildren, something like that. So they just using the cover of a weapon of mass destruction of stopping them from getting again in order to go in there and take out their leaders and destabilize them to keep them from overrunning is it really government? They they trick everybody else into fighting the fight for.

Strategy, Narratives, And Regime Change Talk

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. See, this thing with Iran, this thing with Iran goes back what what what 70 years now? 70 years. This these these tensions between you uh this government and and the uh the Iranian government goes back 70 years. Uh when they first ride with the Shah. And that would that started in what 1953? When when they uh when they uh they they uh I think they did they know in 79 they they they overthrew um that that government over there overthrew the shah. Yeah. Uh with what with the help of the United States. When the Ayatollah Khomeini. I'll never for I'll never forget that man. As long as I live, I'll never forget him. I'll never forget that man. That that face, I still can see it just as vividly as I did back then. When he told, when he told, when they um they had those exiles here in America from from over there, and they wanted to go back, he said, you could send them back. And when they got back, he lined them up at the airport and killed every one of them.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, that's right. You know, they had the hostage crisis. Yeah, the hostage crisis.

SPEAKER_06

Jesse Jackson went over there and got some of them. Right. And that's not how ironic is that. He just he just left us. And uh that was um that was crazy because uh he told Reagan, he said, you can send you can come over here if you want to. He said it ain't gonna be what you think it is. And they went over there, bit just as bit bold and brass as they wanted to be. They went over there and they got they they they ran up out of there holding up they they pants with shoestrings. Because um they couldn't, they couldn't navigate the terrain out there, and uh uh it was a lot of sandstorms and stuff like that. So they got whipped on the ground. They actually got whipped on the ground, and they had to go to airstrikes. And um that thing escalated all the way up into 2020 uh with this uh with this new leader. That new leader they just uh laid him out. But yeah, this Khomeini, something something other Khomeini, yeah. Kamina, Kamana, yeah. Um now this is uh I don't think this is gonna be what everybody thinks. You know, you're just gonna squash these people. I don't know, but I know I've been I've been watching the markets and and a lot of things, petroleum and gold and stuff is going crazy.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, because there's a there's a street that's over there in Iran where they said 20% of the oil that's used around the world comes through that street. And if the Iranians are able to block that streak, then that would cause a lot of everything to go up because you know once the price of oil goes up, everything else comes right up, like a domino effect.

SPEAKER_06

Man, look at what these tariffs have been doing. Now, I'm not complaining about the tariffs, but you go in the store with a hundred hours, you might leave out with two bags. I'm talking about in the grocery store. So family is it's having an effect. The other thing, real quick, we're gonna move from that, and the other thing I wanted to get get your opinion on before we go into the uh to the Trump thing, the State of the Union the other night, because we got we gotta get some wreck on that. We gotta get some wreck. But before that, I wanna talk, I wanna get to this thing with with um this this new mayor we got here in New York City, where you and I reside. This this ma'am Donnie, now he's catching, he's catching the flames right now because he ran on this and that. See, and I I I text my my grandmother, well, my my my lady's grandmother the other night, because her and I are very close, and we she loves to talk politics with me. She loves to see what I think about certain things, and I told her that I didn't vote for the guy, I didn't lie, I didn't say anything against him. Uh he's a nice, he seems like a nice young kid, you know, polite kid. But the things he was running on, socialism does not work. It throughout history, socialism has has proven that it cannot work. And that's what he ran on. Now, the I think New York City is is what a 96.3 billion dollars in debt? New York City, the five boroughs. 96.3 billion.

Market Shock: Oil, Gold, And The Strait Chokepoint

NYC Politics: Promises, Budgets, And Congestion Pricing

SPEAKER_07

I didn't know it was that much. I know I didn't know the number, but I know they I know he said that um I don't think I think 96 might have been the total budget. But I think that he said uh Eric Adams blew a$12 billion hole in the budget. And because of that, he wasn't gonna be able to fulfill his campaign promises, right? But me myself, if if I vote, right, I don't just vote because we vote, you know, I have to uh vet the candidates, see what you know, what they agree with, what the what their um the um the line of reason is what they're gonna do about certain issues. What are the issues that they're gonna bring to the table? And when I look at it, I don't look at it based on the promises they make. You know, I vote based on what they've already done. So if somebody like many comes up and he wants to run for me, and he's gonna say, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that, I'm gonna do that. I don't get moved by that. You know, because you can they say anything in the world to get elected. They'll say anything. Anything they think that's gonna push them poll numbers up and make people vote for them, they'll say. He came out saying, uh, he wants to have free buses. Right? Only time they got free buses in in New York is during COVID. Because the and and that was because the the bus drivers was were catching COVID and they didn't have enough to run the system. So they said, okay, we're gonna cut off the front part and everybody can go through the rear, and it'll be free since you can't come through the front pair, it's free. That's the only time I would see. Now, how is he gonna have free buses in New York? And we don't even, we're not even able to drive below 60th Street without paying a congestion price, right? They basically put a toll on the East River bridges because they they said it was they didn't want to do it because there was no toll plaza, but once they got the the um the cameras up and running out of collective toll, right. Then they said, okay, now we could put congestion prices as soon as they come over the bridge, bam, you get hit.$15 or$9 or whatever it is, right? And they they they said they were they expected to collect five hundred million dollars. And they've actually collected$550 million. You know, so in that sense, to them, that's a success, right? But it's really a a pyramid victory because you lost more than you gained. You gained$550 million, but now all those people that gotta pay, they're not gonna vote for you again. You know, you're gonna have problems when it comes time for the next election. And and the governor is the one that pushed it so hard. And they push these things based on the fact that New York is a, uh, especially the the five boroughs, is a primarily Democratic place. They're gonna vote Democrat no matter what. You know, and because of that, Democrats don't have to give you nothing. They take it for granted. They say, Yeah, they're gonna vote democratically, so we don't have to give them nothing, we don't have to offer nothing. And Republicans, they ain't gonna offer you nothing because they know you're not gonna vote for it, because you're a democratic city, so you already know that. Between a rock and a hard place. It's the same thing that happened on a national scale with uh the last presidential election, which was why they didn't get the turnout that they thought they was gonna get, you know, because people were like sick of the whole thing. They said, listen, I'd rather not vote for anybody than to vote for either one of the people that's running. It's like you got a choice, but you don't really have a choice, because both choices are not gonna be in your best interest. So if I want to vote for somebody, I want to vote for somebody who has a proven track record of doing things, you know, rather than somebody just gonna come up here and say, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that. Because they never do. They never do. They just get in, and then maybe it's because, like, in in the case with Mangani, he had all these ideas about things he wanted to do. He wanted to other um and they were good ideas. Other than free buses, he wanted to extend um the pre-daycare or something like that, for three years old. Yes, yeah, yeah. Down to two years old or something like that, so that, you know, you wouldn't have to pay for daycare if you were eligible for children as young as two years old so that you can go back to work, you know. Right. And that would help a lot of working class people because the cost of daycare is can be astronomical, especially when you have more than one child. So these kind of things appeal to people, right? The only problem is they promises. You know, and you can't just keep voting on promises and not getting them, because after every man's election, it's the same thing. They promise, promise, promise, they don't do nothing. Then they say they're gonna put congestion prices in in order to keep the the uh in order to fund the MTA, they put congestion prices in, and then they raise the fare. You know, it's crazy. Then they cut the bus lines, you know. But um, I don't know, we'll see what happens. You know, it doesn't look good so far. You know, as far as all the titles, the labels they give it, socialism, the fascism, all that. When it all boils down to it is how much more are you gonna be able to advance yourself based on the policies that they put in place? That's what the people want. Give the people what they want.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, it comes down to economics. It comes down, bottom line, economics. And here's the thing, right? You said something that was that that I I think most people will will gloss over. But I but up here we pay attention. You said something about the promises you make, and now he has to go back on. See, it's it's good that you you vet these candidates beforehand because you can see what they've done in the past, you can see what their policies are, what they've already done. Now he promised that he was gonna come in and tax the rich. You can't do that. That governor is not gonna allow you because now she's gonna override everything you do when you start talking about these these uh big conglomerates and these big tycoons and stuff like that. She's up for re-election in November. She's not gonna subsidize the economy. She's not gonna do it. She can pinch you off a little a couple of millionaire, billion or two there here and there like that, but she cannot be allowed to, she she's not going to to foot and and and fund that those bills that you that those proposals that you setting forth because she's up for re-election. Now that leaves you, you have to now in turn raise property taxes on on these um on these homeowners and these these uh building owners and stuff like that. Now, you said something. Our people don't, we're very politically remedial. And I've said that I think I said it last week, and I'm saying it again up here today, and it's gonna ru uh ruffle some feathers and make some people annoyed with what I'm saying, but I have to say it because it's the truth. We're very remedial when it comes down to the to vetting these people and looking at our interests. Now these people out here crying about they they they scared because if this guy raises raises the the tax at nine and a half percent, a lot of these people will be forced to sell their properties for far less than the market value, and they're gonna lose money. Then you you put the the taxes on these these building owners and you freeze the rent. How are you gonna do that? Let me tell you something. This building I live in right now, this this elevator has been broke, to my knowledge, ever since Friday. The elevator's broke. It's uh Monday, I mean uh Tuesday. The elevator's still broken. That elevator has been broken since Friday. It's still broke. Now, luckily, I'm on the second floor, so you know, I I don't like go, I don't like being living high up in the sky like that. So you ain't gonna get you ain't gonna get me past the third floor. You understand? So, so you know, I'm I'm I'm able to go out, do run my little errands, and run back in, and you know, I don't really have to worry about an elevator. The only thing is, I can't get down to the laundry room, and you know, I'm not gonna run up and down, so I I gotta put the laundry on hole or or take it to the uh to the to the Chinese laundry and let them do it.

SPEAKER_07

Go ahead. How how long have they been talking about taxing the rich and then it never worked? It never works. I remember uh uh Kotch when he was man, he was talking, oh, we gotta have a tax, uh we want to put a 5% tax on the rich and the corporations to help fund this. And they say, yeah, you put a tax on, we're moving out. We're gonna take our businesses and we're gonna move to Jersey or we're gonna move somewhere else, and that killed that. It's the same play. Every um man that comes in, or uh, if you have some um city council members that say we should tax the rich, it never goes anywhere. You know, why people thought this guy it was gonna go somewhere is beyond me because it's not. And the other thing is you got uh, like you said, um her campaign is coming up. So for re-election. And where do you think she gets her campaign dollars from? She don't get it from the from the working class people on the street. They might break off of five, ten, twenty, twenty-five, fifty dollars. But when it comes down to the big money, the big money comes from the rich. It comes over the table and it comes under the table. And it don't come for free. You know, it comes so that when people start saying this, hey, are we gonna tax the rich? She can jump up and say, no, no, no. They'll just look at her and say, okay, remember, you got this contribution. Now, if you want this contribution again, you know, you better take care of this. You know, that's what it's about, man.

SPEAKER_06

This is what I just this is what I just said. She's up for re-election. She ain't giving up, she ain't getting up off no paper, man. Not at those numbers. She's not going to do it. This is the same thing.

SPEAKER_07

These people that could control these corporations, and these are the ones that that are making the laws, and they make the laws in their favor so they can keep getting money and they can protect the money that they have, you know. And they they the way they make the laws through the lobbyists. You know, they have lobbyists that are in all the state houses, you know, and they go to these politicians when it's time to vote and say, this is what you need to vote for, you know? And who knows what goes over the table or under the table. But this is what happens. You know, every once in a while, some of them get caught and, you know, wind up going to jail. But it still happens. For the majority of the time, they don't get caught. It just keeps rolling. It's what it is. It is what it is, you know. But if we understand it, then it won't be such a surprise to us when they don't do the things that they say they're gonna do. You know, today is understanding, and we understand what's going on. You know, now the only way that we can correct that is by having our own candidates, you know, and we support our candidates all the way up. You know, so okay, you did this, that was a good thing. We're gonna uh reward you with our vote for your next election. And when they get in there, watch them, see what they do there. If they do some good things there based on the level we're at, we're gonna reward them with our vote for the next election. So they keep moving higher and higher, then we'll know that we got a candidate that came from the grassroots and we supported them all the way up, and he got our back. But then if he he he he turned left, we can tell him, okay, time to turn right. Or else when it comes time for this next election, we ain't gonna have your back, you know. Just stop doing things out of uh a sentiment, you know, and for some kind of false sense of loyalty, like we have to do it because uh our our parents said that we had to vote Democrat, you know, because maybe during their time, you know, the candidates that were being vetted were doing things. But right now, they ain't doing nothing, and they ain't getting my vote until they give us some tangibles.

SPEAKER_06

Well, well, Lyndon Lyndon Lyndon B. Johnson said it, well, allegedly said it, and it holds true. When they passed the civil rights, the 1965 Civil Rights Act, he said we if we do this, we will have those Negroes. He didn't use the, I don't think he used the word Negroes. He might have used monkey. We had these monkeys monkeys voting Democrat for the next 200 years. Without a doubt. And and I've talked to people, I've talked to people in my family. Uh spoke just recently, I had a conversation with a with a female, and she told me her grandmother told her that she was born a Democrat and she gonna die one. And this was back in the early 70s. She she told this child this. And why would you do that? Why would you do that when now we're gonna go ahead. You said it.

Taxing The Rich, Donors, And Lobby Power

SPEAKER_07

We are politically remedial, you know. And that's something that needs to be elevated. You know, we have to, and it starts at um the grassroots level. You know, you start going to these little uh meetings in your neighborhood, but it's it's not it could be a homeowners association meeting, it could be a city council meeting, it could be a state senators meeting, you know. But even if you're not, you don't know exactly what's going on, just go. When you hear there's a meeting, just go. You go, you got intelligence, you got a brain, and you listen and you see what's going on, you know. But you have to come, you have to become active in all these little um committee meetings and these activities that's going on, you know. Geez, can't you? You're telling me today how she does that. She goes to every little meeting and signs her name, and she this is what she was told to do by her elders, who were very, you know, politically active. You know, you have to go. Uh how is she gonna learn? If not, you will stay, like you said, politically remedial.

SPEAKER_06

But see, King, here's the problem. Here's the problem. We them them folks did a hell of a job on our minds because we brought into the lie and we keep buying into it. Because most of the time, right now, just that that was at one time where you was just talking about where people were active in activism and political things and structure and stuff like that. They were they were very active. I can remember that. But now we come into a time, people the talk we talking up here right now, if you don't have a mind chiseled out for that, for this kind of talk and appreciation or or an inquisitiveness about yourself, this kind of talk is boring. Right. See, because um, I don't want, I don't really want to hear. I want um what they what they were talking about on love and hip hop. Turn it out. You understand what I'm saying? Because we want to be sex and violence. Right, we're controlled. We want to be entertained all the fucking time. You understand? Just just constantly like children, be entertained. You know, nobody don't want to do no work now. Now, I put out something out here, uh call to action. Two weeks ago, I put it out, and I heard back from one person, and it was a a light type of thing. He gingerly skipped around and it went right into something else. But, you know, we gotta do, we gotta do these things. We gotta get out of here. We gotta keep pounding on the history and keep telling because they're trying to erase the history, and we gotta keep telling that. That's this is why I get up here and do the bios and tell you to go check this one, go check that one. And I'm gonna continue to do it because I want to pound home the importance of telling our story because we come from a very historical, great, great lineage.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, look look at the look at the look at the event that we that we attended last week. You know, that was a beautiful thing, right? Oh, yeah, yes. Yes. We had a lot of different fellows there from you know, the Yuhuru movement, you had the December 12th movement, the the Peace Initiative, you had Hood Therapy, it was it was hosted by Hood Therapy, you know, then you had the pull-ups for peace, man. It was organizations that I wasn't familiar with. Even the the the uh UNIA was there. You know what I mean? Right, right. There were so many different, you know, people there that we was exposed to, you know. Uh and and and these things go on, but if you're not, if like you said, if you don't have uh a thirst for that type of knowledge and that kind of activism, these kind of things they seem boring to you, you know, and at the same time you'll wonder why you're suffering and you don't what understand. Because understanding comes from knowledge and wisdom. And the only way you're gonna get the knowledge, you have to be there. You have to be active, you know, in order to really know. Anything else you get is just secondary. You know, it may be the truth, but it's not gonna hit you the same way because you didn't experience it for yourself. It's not gonna be implanted on your brain in the same fashion, you know.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, because now somebody got mad with me because I was laughing at them people who were staying out there. I don't know if you're familiar with this this dude from Queens, this James Johnson guy, but he was one of the protesters out there talking in the in the uh in the in the uh bullhorn to him. Yeah, from Cambria Heights. Yeah, Cambridge Heights. Now they had, I think it's some kind of homeowners association they had out there. They was they had a rally out there, and these people out there telling, you know, expressing their their grief about this nine and a half percent. And I'm sitting there, I'm laughing, I'm saying, but you motherfuckers voted for this. You lined up in the polls, you lined up and took your ass in that, in that, in that poll booth, and you pressed the blue button.

Civic Literacy: From Meetings To Tangibles

SPEAKER_07

You voted for the power. You voted for he was able, he was able to convince you that he was gonna be able to put more money in your pocket. Right? That's the thing he was talking about. You would wind up with more money in your pocket, but when he got in there and he realized the reality of what was going on, and that they had he had a$12 billion budget gap to close, then he said, Okay, I'm sorry. I can't put more money in your pocket. I gotta take some money out your pocket now. You know, and that's what happened. And they were and Kray Heights is it's a it's a bedroom community. There's nothing but homes there. Everybody that lives there gotta pay property taxes. So, you know, but like you said, this is who you voted for. This is what happened when you vote on promises instead of voting on accomplishments. Now, if he would have been able to show where in the past he has done something that put more money in your pocket, you know, then okay. Then you say, okay, well, let's give him a chance and see what he's gonna do. And if he don't do it, we're gonna tell him to turn left and get up out of here. You know, that's how I think voting should happen. Maybe it's just me. I don't know.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, you're right. I agree with it. I agree with it. I agree. Because um, we we two got them, we two man, we so behind the the eight ball in this thing, we so behind it. But you know, people will learn. And that this is why the younger, this is why they can't understand why how in the hell did Trump get 21% of the black vote.

SPEAKER_05

How?

SPEAKER_06

Because of you.

SPEAKER_05

Because of you.

SPEAKER_06

And this people tired of the stupidness that y'all cut now. We're gonna get into that a little bit real quick, uh, but you know, they're saying that that that that for the for the 2028 campaign, that um they they the only one they have in the front right now is Kamala Harris. They got they got uh they got this Gavin Newsom guy behind her, but he he's flopping everywhere he goes. This dude just flops and shoots himself in the foot. He can't get out of here.

SPEAKER_07

You know what he said the other day, right?

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But the the the thing about it is these folks will get right up in there, go in that booth. They they go to get to these voting polls, especially the elderly, they like to get these little buttons. I voted early. I voted today, you know, and they smile and got their little buttons on, and they waving their little flags, and they take their ass right up in there and vote for them folks. Now you run her again. If you I can almost promise this, and I'm I might be wrong. I might be wrong, family, but I can almost promise you if they run that woman again, the Democrats won't win another general election another 30 years for another 30 years. If they run that woman again. And and and God dog it if Trump just put one piece of legislation together, if that MAGA uh crowd put one piece of legislation together that's specifically uh geared towards uh the foundational people, the freedmen. I don't care what it is. If it's specifically for us, they can forget it. It's a rap. It's over. They'll never win another election. You understand? Because they they already uh they already showed, I was looking at something the other day about the Gronk did a polling about the uh the general election map come 2028 and how the states are looking. It's not good. They're trying to gloss over these midterms, and I think they're gonna get I think they're gonna get blown out in the midterms also. But if they if they if they get blown out in the midterms, if they don't have a good midterm showing out, that 2028 r run is gonna be it's gonna be a wrap. It's ain't gonna be no sense in them even going. And if they run that woman again, if they run her again, that's tell they're telling you we don't have anything. The only thing we have is Trump is racist. Exactly. That's the only thing they got right now is Trump is racist.

SPEAKER_07

Really?

SPEAKER_06

They got nothing but they they don't talk about they don't talk about the the funding, the the 250 what m uh billion dollars, the million dollars for um HBCUs annually that he signed into. Right? They don't talk about they don't talk about when when when Jesse Jackson was running, he was gonna he was supposed to run then too. But he he turned it down. He said, No, Jesse Jackson is my friend. I'm not gonna run. And the friendship that that's why Jesse, if you notice, Jesse Jackson never really said nothing about Trump. Never. He never forgot that. Well, all you can hear is oh, Trump is racist. Trump. He might be, but so what? I don't care nothing about that. I'm talking about the policies. I don't care nothing about how he feels as opposed to. Hell, I might not like him.

SPEAKER_07

But that's any politician that's running that wants an FBA vote. You're gonna have to do one or both of two things. You're gonna have to create and distribute reparations for the descendants of freedmen. Right? Are you gonna have to create an anti-crime hate bill for black Americans? This is what's gonna have to happen. If not, I don't wanna hear nothing, man, because FBI statistics shows that we receive more hate crimes than any other group in America. And we deserve to hate other groups have hate crimes. We're the ones that don't have hate crimes. You know, and we need a hate crime bill, you know, so that we can punish those, uh, have more teeth in punishing those who try to harm us or who do harm us. You know? And as far as the reparations, that's not a gift. That is money that's owed. Okay. Um, we are our ancestors that slaved in this country and built this country for 300 years. This country became what it came because of free labor. We want to pay for that. We want to be paid for that.

SPEAKER_05

I I I think I talked about that a little bit last week. I If I can remember, I think I think I did go into that last week.

SPEAKER_07

You went heavily into it. That's what I remember it.

SPEAKER_06

But anyway, let's uh let's get a little soundbite from this here from the other night, the State of the Union, and we'll get into that and then we'll go into the stuff. Hold on, just a second.

2028 Forecasts, Kamala Prospects, And The Black Vote

SPEAKER_00

Some of the worst criminals anywhere in the world. The only thing standing between Americans and a wide open border right now is President Donald J. Trump and a great Republican paper. Now they have problems at the agency responsible for protecting Americans from terrorists and borders. Then we're demanding the full and immediate restoration of all funding for the border security, homeland security of the United States and also for helping people clean up their snow. We have no money because of the Democrats and it would be nice. We'd love to give you a hand and clean it up, but you give no money. Nobody's getting paid attention. We have to think about pretty large and open. One of the great things about the state of the union is how it gives Americans the children cleanly representatives, really believe.

SPEAKER_06

Let me pause it. Yeah. Now they they they clapped for a long that was a long standing ovation. That was a long one. And he ripped them, he ripped into them like nobody's done. He he gave he read them the ride act. And he told him, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Now you had that woman, Il Ilan, what's her name? Ilan Omar, something. Ilan Omar, whatever her name is, which I don't even think she should be even in the government like that. But she was heckling him, and another woman was heckling him, and he told him, Y'all ought to be ashamed of yourselves. How you see now the optics of that looks horrible. The optics of that is horrible.

SPEAKER_07

And they um they they made a wrong calculation with that move.

SPEAKER_06

Man, I don't know who you might as well not have. It would have been better, y'all not even come.

SPEAKER_07

Because, you know, but but they they they attempted to, they thought that they would embarrass him by sitting down and sitting silent and not clapping and not standing up for nothing that happened, you know.

SPEAKER_08

Right.

SPEAKER_07

But then, you know, he played them because he said something like if you believe that, you know, America should be returned or should be a great nation, then stand up, you know, and the Republican side stand up and they all sat down. Right. You know, that was a bad look for them. So he all he was doing was asking the question. It had nothing to do with any bipartisanship, you know. But by them sticking to a script that was just totally negative, like we're not gonna respond to nothing, we just gonna sit here, we ain't gonna stand up, we ain't gonna do nothing. And then he tore a uh a softball at them, and they missed it. They missed it, they missed it, you know, and it's it's just um it's amazing, man. You know, the things that that goes on and in these highest seats, uh so-called highest seats of government, because we know they're all just puppets anyway. And the people that really control the government, me, you and I don't even know their names, you know.

SPEAKER_06

But um, like the George Soros is in there. Yeah. Yeah. But um, yeah, that that that if if the Republicans put take that clip right there and stick it in their pocket, and they could play that in ads, or doing the doing the primaries and stuff all the way up until November. They can play that. And that will, that's enough to flip a lot of people.

Borders, Scandals, And The State Of The Union Optics

SPEAKER_07

And then when he was talking about the the Somali, the Somalis that was in uh, I think it was Minnesota, where they had got um, they had caught them, they were uh embezzling all of this money out of uh daycare. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And and the way they were doing it was crazy. They were just setting up shop and they wouldn't have anybody in there at all. And they were collecting all this money and sending it back to uh Somali. You know? And I'm told they were talking it was a lot of money, man. They're talking not necessarily. Billions, billions, billions, yeah. And then they talk about the about the uh uh that same that same woman, Ellen Omar. They said that in order to get her citizenship, that she married her brother. You know, and they they got all of this evidence of this fraud that they did, and now they want to claim that they're being discriminated against by the United States government, and they want reparations for that. They are demanding reparations for the discriminatory practices of the United States government by exposing them for being con artists.

SPEAKER_06

Well, I told you just before we started up here, we we were talking offline, and I told you I was listening to um brother over there at the street media, uh Bishop George Macon. And he was talking about that very same thing. And when I tell you that brother was cooking, now I don't like the way he runs his lives because he does he he's he does a good job, but he's his production is he's because he's doing everything by himself and he he he be doing a lot of hold up and oh let me get oh where did this go and making mistakes on the live like that and so you can't do you you you shouldn't do that when you're on live. But nonetheless, he was still when I say he was cooking that brother, man, that brother had that grease up to 450 man was frying. Because the whole play, the whole play right now, and this is why, and this with segue in segueing into the next and and final topic of the of the of the program, the play is why we getting all of this this uh grief and and attacking multitudes of attacks coming from the diaspora is because of that that that 2030 agenda thing with with the uh African Union and different places. They're gonna go to the UN, the United Nations to make a pitch for reparations, but they cannot do it without us. And this is why everybody is pulling their hair out about the delineation thing from the foundation of black Americans, and people are these people are losing their minds, it's cutting off a lot of money, it's cutting off a lot of money, and it's exposing a lot of things, and they can't run their plate to the UN, to the UN, United Nations without us. And if we're delineating, that kills the case right there. It kills it. This is why you have them coming up. I don't know if you've been paying attention to the different spaces online, but they're coming up with these little tropes about the 1700s and people coming from the Caribbean, and you know, they you know, it was a hand, maybe a handful of them that came and was set up here uh you know, in in the institution of chattel slavery. But see, here's the thing. Here's the thing, and and Tariq made a very good point of this. And also, Lady Lady Boulay, I don't know if you're familiar with that sister. Lady Boulay She's been cracking the atom on this, she's been cracking their behinds on this. But the main thing, the main thing they're doing, they're trying to uh put this trope in about the 1700s and infusing themselves into reparations talk. Right. So this is this is why you see the del the this delight semi-erasure going on, because if they can do if they can do that and pull it off, they they they may have they may have some legs to their claims, but they can't do that because just like Tariq said, we had an ethnogenesis here. And when people talk about division and why we're so divisive, well, you know my stance on that. Division is division is a mathematical operation that solves problems. So division is not necessarily a bad thing, it can be a good thing. But my point is this we were divided when you first put them folks in those dungeons in Almina Castle and that other castle in Sierra Leone. When you first decided to make deals with the West and put those people in those dungeons to wait for those ships to come and get them to bring them to the Americas, that's when the division started. That's when we was cut, that's when the ties were cut right there. Even before we got on these shores, that's when the deal was done and the ties were cut, and we're no longer we are not continental Africans. Uh, I don't, I don't, I don't we've been able to pinpoint where my great eight-time great-grandfather came from on my father's side. Uh that was Central Africa, the Angola-Congo area. Right now, today, you you go to those countries, man. Each one of those countries got a hundred something different tribes. I don't know who, I have nothing to do with those people. I don't know who they are. They don't know me. They're not offering any kind of citizenship. That that uh right to a bold thing, come back home and all that, that's a finesse. I don't want to hear nothing about that. But you go ahead.

Delineation, Reparations, And UN Agendas

SPEAKER_07

We are the only ones who expect you to be a melting pot. Everyone else can come in and maintain their culture, and they stay among themselves. They have their own little enclaves, you know. Um being who we are, when they come, we invite them in. Come on in. Join the picnic. Oh, you got some jerk chickens? Bring it to jerk chickens. You're gonna try, we'll try it out, you know. But what do they do? They go around, they was they go around and say, Oh, we're not black. I'm not black, I'm from the Caribbean. I'm Jamaican, I'm not black, I'm Haitian, I'm not black, I'm Dominican, you know. So we just look at and we laugh at stuff like that because we know. But then we got to the point where they started you know, elevating and getting into political positions and voting for policies against us, you know, trying to undermine our fight for reparations. And then we had to look and say, wait a minute, who are these people? You know, where are they from? This don't sound like somebody whose ancestors came up through slavery and we fighting for our reparations, you know, and they're upset because they can't join into that fight. You know, they want to be a part of that fight, you know, but instead of fighting their own reparations battle against the British, which they do have going on, you know, because they're here, they want to join in with our fight. And we're telling them, wait a minute, you said you're not black. You know, you don't you you don't identify with we we don't have no culture. You said we don't have no culture, you know. Okay, so you know what? You're right. We're gonna separate ourselves, delineate ourselves based on our lineage. And what is our lineage? This is who our parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great grandparents, all the way back. If you were here, and you had ancestors that were here during slavery, that would promise 40 acres and a mule, you're foundational black Americans. If you were here before the transatlantic slave trade, you're considered foundational black Americans. Okay, and we're not talking about Native Americans, the ones they so-called call Native Americans, because we know what the government did there. You know, these were black tribes, and what they did, they took those black tribes and they reclassified them as Negroes and put them into slavery in order to take away their right to the land. You know, we know this is, and this history shows it. They can try to hide it as much as they want through um taking it out of the history books and not teaching the kids about history, but we already know, and we're gonna spread it wide for everybody to know and understand. If you're foundational black Americans, you are entitled to payment for the suffering of your ancestors. This land was built with on uh and and and soaked and fertilized with the blood, sweat, and tears. And we want our paid so that we can take this money and build a future for our children. Okay, so don't come with us tell us you you just got here uh on on a Mariana boat lift in 1980 from Cuba, and you think you deserve it or founding for black American money? No, it don't work like that.

SPEAKER_06

Uh oh man, that's that's the ones the ones that left um out of Africa that was sold out of Africa 500 years ago, they didn't get no help from anybody over there.

SPEAKER_07

They got tortured, they had to fight, they had to work for free, live in shacks, you know what I'm saying? We had to create our own food out of scraps, you know, and make it into delicacy, and we built a culture of our own, you know, that's worldwide. The people are uh imitating all over the world. They can say whatever they want. The foundational black American culture is imitated all over the world through music, through food, through entertainment. Our inventions are worldwide, the traffic light, the light bulb, the electric car, all of that. Okay, you can say whatever you want. We know our history, and we're letting the world know our history, and the government is gonna have to pay. That's what it's all about.

SPEAKER_06

Right. Uh, I'm gonna play a little something from Lady Boulay and let you hear it. Because when I heard this, I was like, man, she got it. She hit it, she hit it. Hold on a second, hold on. Let me get this, let me get it ready.

SPEAKER_04

Whether we want to or not, or whether we agree with each other or not. And today I want to get some things straight about Black History Month because there is confusion out there about Black History Month and who it's for. But before we do that, take a look at this. I don't know if you can read this, but this is the former rapper. I guess he's a former rapper. And this came up on my TikTok page. And he's in the popcorn and laughing and read this cabinet. Somebody's saying that black Americans are the cool kids, and everybody's trying to get our attention. So if you want to know why everybody is coming for us, it's because somebody's saying that black Americans with a cool kid and everybody is trying to get our attention. Now let's get into the video. On the last day of Black History Month for 2026, some people are still getting it wrong.

SPEAKER_02

Black Eastern Month or Black Heritage Month was not only created for Black Americans. Black Americans are not the only group of people who can celebrate Black Heritage Month. Just because it was created by a black person who is quote unquote a foundational Black American, doesn't mean it was only for us. You want it worldwide exposure and you want it to celebrate the accomplishments of black people globally, worldwide.

SPEAKER_04

This is historically incorrect. And I don't know where this Black Heritage Month came from. I don't know if she made it up or if somebody else made it up. But we celebrate Black History Month. And I'm just going to give you the historical record, not something I made up, but what's documented about Black History Month. Black History Month didn't start as a global celebration. It didn't start as a document for a long holiday. And it definitely didn't start as something for everybody. It began as Negro History Week. And it had one very specific purpose. To honor the history of black Americans, depending on flavoring in the United States. In 1926, Dr. Carnival would have Negro History Week to correct the very American problem. Black Americans, the people who have interested the word influence in the United States, were being read from American history. The contributions of people whose ancestors were inflamed in the United States. It was also created to highlight the role of black Americans in shaping American society, law, culture, and democracy. It was never framed as a worldwide holiday. It was never meant to represent every black group on earth. It was a lineage-based observance.

Black History Month: Purpose, Scope, And Misuse

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I wanted I wanted to pause it there. I wanted to pause it there, and we're going to talk about that. But the thing, the thing was, she went on to say later, she went on to say that the reason these people have such a problem with us with this delineation thing is because of proximity to whiteness. See, they were told, they were told back home, when they get here or when they come here, this is what you got to do. You got to get close to white people and leave them, leave them alone, leave them American blacks alone, get close to them and and and show them how you work good and everything and just be good. And you gonna get you gonna get your leg up. But see, when they when they got here, once they got here, King, the story was different. They seen the reality of it is. See, we have something that this is where the insecurities come at. Just like I played last week. I played that that clip of that girl when she went up on that podcast and talking about the dirty black Americans. Without even without any provocation, she did that. And the reason why she did that, because she thought she was in a room with another with mo with other Caribbeans. And she felt comfortable because that's what they do. Now I'm not saying all of them, but on a large scale, that's what they do. So she until she realized, oh wow, she didn't read the room, and these cats, they're Americans. And they taking offense to this. But she nonetheless, she double, she did double down, even though she she kind of she she toned down the abrasiveness, but she did double down. And those goofies up there started laughing and giggling, and yeah, but you know, because you know she had a thick old bottom on her. And and uh, you know, she was she a fairly decent looking girl. You know, people were saying, oh, how bad she was. She she didn't look, you know, she wasn't she wasn't an ugly woman. She wasn't an ugly woman at all. But she wasn't fine enough to be talking that kind of talk and and being able to stay in the room. Because I'd I'd have gave her walking papers. Uh you can go now because ain't nothing else to talk about. But my point is this they have this thing with them, so when they see us, automatically the insecurities come out. Because we remind them, we remind them we don't even want or desire the proximity like that. We don't even think about white proximity like that. Now the bootlickers and the coons do. But the average black person ain't thinking about white folks like that, but they do. And and and when they see us, it reminds them of their failure. So when they when they come here and they see you ain't you you can't replace you, you're not gonna be us. We have a direct relationship, whether we want it or not, with this, with this government. We're written into the constitution. Right? And that relationship it depicts those those those those this this government actually depends on us. We haven't realized that yet. That's why we still going inside these voting polls and these booths and and hitting the blue lever, because we haven't realized the power we have yet. Well, most of us anyway. But that is the thing, and Lady Boulay cracked that, she cracked that shit wide open. And I said on the hood, and I said, good gosh. I had I had to send her a DM and thank her because she cracked, she cracked that at them wide open. And that's what it is. That's exactly what it is. We remind them that they you're not gonna they're not gonna look when they talk about black folks, they looking at us. They're not gonna look at you. You're never gonna have the position that we have, ever. And that's what bothers them. That's why the tax come, you dirty black Americans, y'all lazy, y'all don't work hard. Y'all, you could say jump up and down until you blue in the face saying that stuff. You're not gonna be close to them like that. Never.

SPEAKER_07

And you know, you you know what, you know what I find so ironic about it? When they're in their country, let's take, you know, any country, let's say Nigeria, for instance, that they have Nigerian History Month in their country. They celebrate in Nigerian history. You don't have black Americans over there talking about, oh, this shouldn't be Nigerian history, this should be uh uh a black American Heritage Month. You know, if you want to create Black Heritage Month and have it uh give towards Nigeria, then so be it. You know, but don't try to change what what we have been uh forced to celebrate in order to remind our next generation of who and what we are because they were trying to erase us. You know, don't tell us we need to change it from Black History Month to Black Heritage Month. Because that's not what it is. You if you think that you know your history is strong enough, then you create a black heritage month right on the side of it. Take March, for instance. We got February Black History Month, you know, take March. All right, and and do your thing then make March Black Heritage Month and then everybody celebrate it. I try to uh uh shadow over something that's already established. Create your own. You know, if your own history is that strong and your culture is beautiful, I'm quite sure your culture is a beautiful culture. You know, take it, elevate it, and let the world see. But don't try to jump on something that's already established and then uh remix it so that that you're included. You know, if you want to join in to Black History Month and celebrate Black History of Foundation Black Americans, then fine. We ain't got a problem with that, you know. But if you don't try to change it to something that it's not, um and the system was right on point, you know, because Carter G. Woodson has started out as Black History Week, you know, and then it was elevated by us to Black History Month, which was also elevated by us. Our Black History Month, as we know, begins on January 1st, and it is on December 31st. That's what our Black History Month is. 365 days, and every four four years is 366. Because Black History is ours every day. You're not gonna give us the shortest month and say this is when you celebrate back. We celebrate our history every day. Point blank.

SPEAKER_06

This is why I instituted that that that segment, the bio segment in the in the um in the beginning of the of the program, because each week I want to give those bios so people can look at the greatness of the of the heritage, of the lineage. They can look at the great, because you know, enough people talk about the the underbelly or the undergird of of the society we we from or the lineage we from. And I want to give a positive spin on that. So I'm gonna do that up here every week. And some weeks I'm even gonna go in depth in into the bio, especially if it if it's uh attention-grabbing enough, you know, if it's very uh a very strong bio, I'm gonna go into it. So yeah, but that's Lady Boulet broke that thing down. She broke it down, and she I never heard it before. I've heard Tyreek and them touch on it like that, but I never heard it in that way where she put it. Now, I didn't play the part where she said that, you know, but she she she definitely, man, she split the atom on that. She said, that's where the insecurities come in at because we remind them, we remind them of just what they were supposed to do back home. So you coming over here, you coming over here telling us what we should be doing, but you why you ain't do it back there. Why you ain't do it? You understand?

SPEAKER_07

And our culture, our culture's resistance.

SPEAKER_06

Right. We that's it's it's embedded in our culture, the resistance. The way we talk, everything, everything we do, and the dance, the music, everything we do is is is designed around resistance.

SPEAKER_07
