The Doc and Carolyn Podcast!

SPEAKER_05 0:02

Welcome to the show. It's the Doc and Carolyn Podcast, episode 134. We're still here. We're still here.

SPEAKER_04 0:08

Much to the dismay of plenty of people.

SPEAKER_05 0:11

Right, maybe. I'm very um I've been very reflective this week. It's my birthday week, and I have really uh been deep in thought about a couple of things that I want to share with you. One of them is I'm full of hope and full of joy. You are. And it goes against uh the narrative. We're disciples of Yeshua, we're disciples of Jesus. The scripture that came to mind for me this week is do not be conformed to this world. It's Romans 12 2. Do not be conformed to the thinking and the ways of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. And as it relates to my birthday week, I feel like there's a a way that we're supposed to think about retirement. There's a way we're supposed to think about our lives and our and our physicality and our health uh after the age of 60.

SPEAKER_04 0:57

Who's over 60?

SPEAKER_05 0:59

Man, I'm on Medicare. This is this is the most awesome thing ever. It's it's it's awesome. Why?

SPEAKER_04 1:05

Can I say I'm still a spring chicken?

SPEAKER_05 1:07

Yeah, you are. Yeah, you are. I saw somebody post on Facebook the other day, you know, you don't understand, you know, what's going on in my life. I'm about to hit 30. I'm about to turn through. Oh my word. Yeah, yeah. And and I looked at that as only. Yeah, and and I looked at it and just said, well, you know, that is a milestone of sorts, you know, and then 40 and 50. And so I don't want to get all conspiratorial, but I just think it's it's subliminal messaging in a way.

SPEAKER_04 1:32

Well, I mean, we are the sickest population on the planet, I think.

SPEAKER_05 1:36

Yes. So if you begin at it, would it be called intervention? Let's say if you're if you're approaching, you know, a new milestone, you know, you can make small changes and and and the whole experience, I mean, kind of speaking for myself, but staying active, getting out, walking, eating right. I mean, I I'm shocked, I'm blown away by how different it's possible to feel, how to be energetic and how to wake up and look forward to the day. That's right.

SPEAKER_04 2:08

The four most important things for your health are your food, your movement, your sleep, and managing your stress. If you can get those things in order, how strict you are with those things is gonna determine how quickly you turn things around. Because when I went to see the nurse practitioner I was working with, she was shocked when I went back for my six-month visit. She was just her, I could tell on her face when she walked in the door, she said, My God, how much weight have you lost? You look so fantastic, and da-da-da-da-da. And that was no medication. I just changed my diet, started getting more exercise, started getting more sleep, and I took a few supplements that she put me on.

SPEAKER_05 2:54

Yeah, I'm I never changed my my exercise part. I mean, I've always been pretty active. You know, always been. And, you know, I've added a lot more uh strength training, and that's only because I feel so much better. I just, I mean, I'll knock out 250 push-ups in a day, you know, or you know, 120 or 1500 a week. That I mean, to me, that's crazy. Crazy. I never thought, you know, at this age, there's no way I would have thought that.

SPEAKER_04 3:21

People call me all the time and ask me what supplement can I take for such and such? It doesn't matter what supplement you take if you don't change the foundations. You can take 50 different supplements, and if you don't change the foundations, they're not gonna do anything. I'm Carolyn Kilgore, founder and provider at TrueHealing Healthcare.net.

SPEAKER_05 3:40

Why functional medicine?

SPEAKER_04 3:42

Because you're more than just a list of symptoms. Traditional care often masks the problem, but functional medicine digs deeper to find the root cause.

SPEAKER_05 3:50

What makes true healing health care different?

SPEAKER_04 3:53

We move away from the one size fits all approach. We look at your environment and your lifestyle to create a roadmap tailored specifically for you.

SPEAKER_05 4:01

What if someone really wants to make a change?

SPEAKER_04 4:04

If you're tired of feeling fine and want to start feeling great, it's about proactive wellness, not just reactive treatment.

SPEAKER_05 4:11

What's the deal with telemedicine?

SPEAKER_04 4:13

As long as you're 18 and have an internet connection, you can have a visit in the privacy of your own home or anywhere else in Texas. We're able to order labs or prescribe or whatever else you need.

SPEAKER_05 4:24

True Healing Healthcare.net for the great state of Texas.

SPEAKER_04 4:30

You want to hear something really stupid?

SPEAKER_05 4:33

Do I? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 4:34

When I was probably late 20s, thoughts like, oh, well, I'm too old to start doing that now, would cross my mind.

SPEAKER_05 4:42

When you were in your twenties?

SPEAKER_04 4:44

In my twenties. How ridiculous was that?

SPEAKER_05 4:48

Yeah, yeah. Don't be conformed to the thinking of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. The other thing was the race thing. We did the show last week about Carmelo Anthony and uh had uh the lead attorney who is a prominent figure on on YouTube kind of talk about the case from a different perspective. But I gotta tell you, and Kimberly Kimberly Blakes is is a published author. She does a beautiful podcast called the Faith Frame Perspective, and uh she does a YouTube channel. Kimberly Blakes is a friend of this podcast. And she's going to do a thing on on our feature called the Kingdom Minute, and she's going to talk about the fact, and she says in her in her piece that there is no institutional racism, that it's a lie. And I am going to concur with that. I'm going, there is no systemic racism. It does not exist. It is a tool. It's been propagated and it's been used as a psychological operation.

SPEAKER_04 5:49

I think at one point there was.

SPEAKER_05 5:51

Yeah, we're not talking about one point. I'm talking about now. I'm talking about now.

SPEAKER_04 5:55

But now all laws in the system are ensure that that doesn't happen.

SPEAKER_05 6:03

Well, let's play uh antagonist on both of our points. So what people, what what what I will say to what you just said is well, yeah, the laws exist, but you can't uh you can't stop people. People will do it within the law. People will do it within the framework of their employment or within their influence.

SPEAKER_04 6:20

So they're always gonna be idiots.

SPEAKER_05 6:21

So that's the point. So what that's the point. So so if you if you look if you look at my picture on the Facebook page, you'll say, okay, well, well, what this guy's of dubious color, but uh let me just tell you this black is on my birth certificate. A dubious color. What I'm saying is is light skin. I'm a light-skinned fellow, okay? And my sister's light, my mom is my complexion. Your dad is not light. My dad is not light at all, right? He's he's and and again on my book on my birth certificate, it says black. Now, I just want to tell you my personal experience about something. I have only experienced. Now, again, I'm 65, so I I have a little bit of of experience in the workplace, not only in in just broadcasting, I went through the whole gambit in broadcasting, worked with a bunch of different people of a bunch of different races, a lot of white folks, white owners. And as a police officer, I went through the ranks of the police department. I got a uh a patrol officer, a specialist, got promoted to sergeant, and so I went through that whole system 25 years. So if there's racism in either one of those uh areas, I would know. I would have experienced it. I would have experienced it. So I had two prevailing attitudes. When I did study world history, I knew that Egypt and and and the great kings of Africa had to be part of, you know, this is the way I reason within my own head that that must be part of my own heritage. I I associate it with that. I don't care what the uh what they were teaching in school about slavery and what my descendants were doing and the and the history and 1619 and all that. I didn't associate with that. I never have. And maybe I got that from my father.

SPEAKER_04 8:05

So when you were in school, did it and you you were being taught those things, did it make you resentfully?

SPEAKER_05 8:14

It wasn't like it was. I don't think the 1619 resentment, hatred, hatred, Marxist teaching was in the school system, was in the Department of Education then. I talked to my grandmother all the time. I talked to her. My my grandmother was born in 1900. When I was uh at some stage in school, I talked to her about her life. I had to pick a person to do an essay on. And I chose my grandmother, who always had a Bible open. I've I've said this before, but anytime I would go visit her, she always had a Bible open. She was the first person to ever tell me that you can read this from cover to cover. And I think that came because I asked her. One time I visited her and said, uh, you know, Mama, you always had that Bible open. You ever read it cover to cover? And she was like, sure. I've read it a few times. She said, You can too.

SPEAKER_04 9:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 9:01

And but when I talked to my father or my uncles about it, they'd be like, man, you can't read that.

SPEAKER_04 9:04

You can't understand that.

SPEAKER_05 9:05

You can't understand that thing. So she was she was very inspirational in that way. But regarding the essay that I met with her to talk about, she never once brought up racism, a racist incident ever, not a single time. Interesting. And my dad, I talked to my dad extensively, and he would talk about segregation, Jim Crow. There were water fountains, bathrooms you couldn't go in. So he had his own experiences, but he never, you know, my dad was a business owner and uh, you know, military veteran. So he had a different attitude about it. And maybe I picked up on that because I never felt like um that anybody was superior. Anybody. I just didn't, I was not taught that. I was not felt to feel uh or taught to feel uh inferior in any way, and I never looked at it that way, ever. In fact, I came to the conclusion that anybody that that that's racist, racism is such a such a shallow um way of determining character. It's so it's you know, by skin color. So I figured anybody that's stupid can never be a threat to me. I'm I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding.

SPEAKER_04 10:20

No, I agree. I agree.

SPEAKER_05 10:21

I really I I really used to feel that way. Okay, well, if you if you show some hostility towards me, go ahead. Be hostile. I don't give you permission to have any power to control how I feel. I remove that kind of authority away from you to affect my feelings. And especially the way about especially the way I feel about myself. The N-word has no power on me. You could call me a pillow, okay. You what? I know this framework, you call me a what? But my point is that no word has that kind of power over me. And I and I and and but it does. This this race thing, this sinister, this Marxist, this training, this manipulation does have an impact on some, and I don't know why.

SPEAKER_04 11:12

I don't know. It's really sad to me that there's such a focus on that. No matter what happens, there's always a focus on it.

SPEAKER_05 11:21

So you said there's a focus. Where does that focus come from? Where is it emanating from? Who's putting the focus on it? Well, you're getting it through the media. You must have to do that. Right.

SPEAKER_04 11:29

The media, the education system, the, you know, all the all the they people.

SPEAKER_05 11:36

So so right. So so the they people are focusing on race and always propagating race for what purpose? What benefit? Division. What do you what now?

SPEAKER_04 11:47

Division.

SPEAKER_05 11:48

Division, right? Right, right, right.

SPEAKER_04 11:50

Because if citizens are at each other's throats, we're not focusing on all of the fraud and all of the nonsense that the government's doing.

SPEAKER_05 11:59

Right. Plus, if I can convince you that you're a victim, then you need my help.

SPEAKER_04 12:03

Right, right.

SPEAKER_05 12:05

If I can convince you that listen, they are trying to destroy you, but I'm on your side. Yeah. So you just hang tight. Let me get about $500 million. I'm gonna keep $400, I'm gonna keep $499 million for myself, and then take the other mill and split that with my friends, and and you just keep on keeping on. Right. And we're gonna keep telling you what the problem is.

SPEAKER_04 12:25

Exactly. Yeah, you would think with all the money, all the time, something, homelessness, things like that, that that could be solved with all the money that has been spent, that could have been solved decades ago.

SPEAKER_05 12:38

And I just have never ever, and and the thing is, the the saying used to be back in the day when I was growing up, you know, I gotta work twice as hard. So so work twice as hard. Here's another thing I don't get. Professional athletes, for example, this is probably the best example. If I'm a pro athlete and I'm and I'm coaching my team, we've lost to this team 12 years in a row. So as the head coach going into game number 13, what do you think I tell my my athletes? What do I tell my players going into this game?

SPEAKER_04 13:14

You're gonna try to give them a positive attitude about it because if they go in thinking, oh, well, we've already lost 13 games, then Then it's over, right? Right. It's over before they even get on the field.

SPEAKER_05 13:25

So wait a minute. So so what you're telling me is don't tell my players, my athletes, that listen, you done lost every game for the last 13. It's systemic, it's systemic losery. And you can't overcome that. You you you know, you're just you know, there's only so much you can do because they're holding you back. The other team is that much better than you, and you just cannot overcome.

SPEAKER_04 13:50

You might as well not even leave the room.

SPEAKER_05 13:52

You might as well not even get out of the locker room because they've won the last 13 years. That's the history. So it's over for us. The white the white man, your people, Carolyn, is keeping me down.

SPEAKER_04 14:04

Yeah, I must have missed those meetings because I mean, but I don't know how that's happening.

SPEAKER_05 14:09

But um, a winning mindset does not recognize color. And here's some news for you everybody is not going to like you. Nope. Everyone is not going to like you. They will have all kinds of there are people that won't like you because you're a woman, Carolyn. What? There are people that don't like me. They won't like you because your hair is long. They, if you cut it, they won't like it because it's too short.

SPEAKER_04 14:34

Yeah, there are lots of people who don't like me for all kinds of reasons. Yeah. And I'm okay with it.

SPEAKER_05 14:39

Well, wait a minute. Does the fact that somebody doesn't like you, does that stop you from doing what you trying to do?

SPEAKER_04 14:45

No.

SPEAKER_05 14:46

Uh-uh. Me neither. Me neither.

SPEAKER_04 14:48

And I don't care if it's Can I sleep like a baby too.

SPEAKER_05 14:50

And the thing is, is when you I was talking about being a light-skinned brother earlier in the podcast, that I get it from both sides.

SPEAKER_04 14:57

Yeah, you do. I really do.

SPEAKER_05 14:59

You really do. You know, because I'm not black enough for black folks, and I'm not, you know, and then if you're a racist, and and I guess it's races of both of both colors, is really what uh what it really is. Yeah. Um, because the and plus the whole fallacy about black folks can't be racist. That's a I mean, really, if you look up the definition, maybe you need a dictionary. Because if you look at the definition of what racism is, anybody can be that.

SPEAKER_04 15:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 15:25

It's a sin. It's just another character flaw.

SPEAKER_04 15:29

It's not shocking. I mean, because people who are living in the world, you would expect that. But what is shocking to me is when people who say they're Christians, that's when they start dividing by race, because you know, there are a few scriptures that they must have missed.

SPEAKER_05 15:50

Right. Right. So when um how how did it make you feel? Because it happened really within my own family when some of the stuff was happening through the police incidents and George Floyd and all of this nonsense about Michael Brown. That was a lie, you know, what would you know what was a hands up, don't shoot? All of that was a lie. All of that was propagated by the media. That was uh uh a false witness. The the witness came forward and said, Yeah, I saw Michael Brown, and he said he had his hands up, and he said, hands up, don't shoot. That was a lie. That was made up, it's been debunked. You can read and you can pull and read the police deport uh report for yourself. The point being, you cannot trust the media, you cannot trust the narrative. You have to go through your own experience. I've had a family member who's sitting who's sitting on like five beautiful wooded acres with a boat, an RV, a helicopter.

SPEAKER_04 16:49

I don't think there's a helicopter.

SPEAKER_05 16:51

A sub in the garage.

SPEAKER_04 16:54

I think you're exaggerating.

SPEAKER_05 16:56

But if you talk to him, but if you talk to I I've I've I've listened to so many stories about how, man, you know, I just can't make it. I just can't, I just can't get it, get ahead because, you know, black man can't get ahead. And I'm looking out the window at the acres and the deer and the in the airplanes. I'm like, I'm and I look look at him and I look back out the window. I'm like, but but it's but but I do give him a pass.

SPEAKER_04 17:21

And the reason being is because he did live in a time where we're 20 years apart.

SPEAKER_05 17:27

I know we're 20 years apart.

SPEAKER_04 17:29

I know, but you've heard some of the stories that he's told us.

SPEAKER_05 17:33

But but okay, listen, so people, okay, okay, I get that. And maybe and and you're and I think you're right about this. Uh I think I would just allow him to have his own experiences and determine the amount of trauma or not was associated with it.

SPEAKER_04 17:47

But when you have folks that are talking about the oppression right, when you're born in 2020, or if you're born in the 2000s at all, and you're talking about that, that's listen, I've been around all of my family members.

SPEAKER_05 18:04

Ain't that we're on threads, we communicate, we're on Facebook, we're in private chats. Uh, we talk one-on-one. We've been talking about about thank over Thanksgiving for nobody has ever come to the Thanksgiving table in 40 years and sat down and said, Man, I show, man, I was in, I was trying to buy a jacket and somebody, you know, uh lit a cross in the you know, in the dressing room. It was horrible. It just, listen, it doesn't happen. In fact, like Juicy Smolet in Chicago, they are paying people to commit racist acts because they cannot find enough racism to have it become a part of the news cycle. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Why not be about excellence? When you are excellent, you cannot be oppressed. You can't be.

SPEAKER_04 18:53

Yeah. It's the same when I hear women talking about how we don't have any rights. I'm like, what are you talking about?

SPEAKER_05 19:00

Same, exact same.

SPEAKER_04 19:01

I have the right to do whatever I want. Exactly right. What you're doing.

SPEAKER_05 19:04

Now let me ask you this. So, what if you do run into a fellow, let's say you're working in uh in your healthcare uh practice and you have an oversight physician, anything like that, and he begins to treat you in a way that's misogynistic. So, what do you do about that? Do you just fold? Do you close your practice and say, Oh, I'm oppressed?

SPEAKER_04 19:25

No, I'm gonna push back. And I mean, when I worked in the fuel industry, I worked with all kinds of jerks.

SPEAKER_05 19:32

Yeah, I talked to my sons and I said, listen, uh, life is like this. Not everybody's gonna like you.

SPEAKER_04 19:36

Nope.

SPEAKER_05 19:37

And who cares why? Okay, you don't like me because I'm black. Okay, so and if you and we're if we're doing business, listen, I can take my business elsewhere. Correct. And no problem, no harm, no foul. You like who you like, and I'm gonna bug out and go someplace else. I don't have to do business with you. And and quite frankly, it's so it's such a weak mindset that there's nothing else that can be uh, you know, if you if you're gonna try to perpetrate violence, I'm far more likely to run into violence if I go into neighborhoods with people that look like me. Quite frankly, that's the reality of it. Because again, I was I worked the hood, I worked there 25 years in these neighborhoods. I know where the danger is. You know, you can't, you can't you can't talk nonsense to me. That's the thing. You cannot, and in racism and oppression today, right now, I'm and again, I'm saying, I'm not saying there aren't white people that won't like black people. So what? You don't have to like me. And there are white people, there are black people that don't like white people.

SPEAKER_04 20:37

Lots, yeah, and I don't care. Right, right, right. I mean, I've been called nasty things, said nasty things too, and I just I don't care.

SPEAKER_05 20:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 20:52

It used to hurt my feelings. Like the first time somebody called me a racist, I'm like, what? Well, you call me a what?

SPEAKER_05 21:00

Yeah, I mean, it's so ridiculous. Because it's not a good thing. I mean, I'm not, right?

SPEAKER_04 21:05

And but now I'm just like, whatever.

SPEAKER_05 21:07

But back in the day, I mean, just just for the sake of people that that listen to the show all the time, so when would y'all do because you you come from a whole family of whites. Yeah, mostly. When would y'all do your uh your oppressions? When would you when would you do your oppressions? Would you no when would because you would y'all roll out like on a regular basis or would it be random?

SPEAKER_04 21:30

Every Wednesday, I guess. So ridiculous.

SPEAKER_02 21:36

Welcome to this Kingdom Minute with your host, Kimberly Blakes on the Doc and Carolyn podcast. Why is it that black folks can come from other countries, from other places, come here and farm, exceed in business and education and everything else? It's because it's your mind. We all live in our own world comprised of what we believe. And because you believe you're a victim, this is the way you're gonna live your entire life. Life. But as I have said before, you're gonna have to stand in front of God. What you gonna tell him? Ain't gonna be no white man there. He there's no good, there's not gonna be a scapegoat at all. Because when Jesus died, he leveled the playing field. That means that anything anybody can do, you can do. Ain't nobody disenfranchised. There is no systematic racism because when somebody decides that they wanna start a business, become a multimillionaire, get free of whatever, they do it. How is it that they do it? But there's so much systematic racism. That is your excuse in case you fail because you don't have any faith in yourself and you don't have any faith in God. Thank you for tuning in to this Kingdom Minute with your host, Kimberly Blakes, on the Doc and Carolyn podcast. You can find me on Facebook at Kimberly Blakes, and I also have a podcast called The Faith Frame Perspective. I'll see you guys there.

SPEAKER_05 22:49

And we promise every week to give you an update on crypto uh and BTC uh Bitcoin.

SPEAKER_04 22:54

It has not been very pretty.

SPEAKER_05 22:56

No, it's gone down several thousand dollars. It's down to about sixty-two. It's still volatile, but listen, there is a lot to know about this. There is a lot happening that isn't necessarily in the mainstream. If you're not looking and paying attention, this is all happening right under the radar. And I have a bit of uh Michael Saylor here. He owns strategy. This is this uh Michael Saylor is a billionaire entrepreneur, a technologist, and best selling author.

SPEAKER_04 23:29

Didn't he invest a lot of his company?

SPEAKER_05 23:31

Yeah, he owns more Bitcoin than any other company on the on the planet. And uh check out what he's saying here about the sector.

SPEAKER_00 23:39

Right now, obviously, in terms of the market itself, Bitcoin is in a pretty bearish state from a price point of view. I mean, from from your point, what still really excites you right now around Bitcoin, and I guess what upsets you about Bitcoin?

SPEAKER_01 23:53

I've been in the community in the business about six years. There have been five brutal drawdowns. So about once every year, there's a drawdown, some worse than others, but it's not uncommon. You know, so I don't get disillusioned by the fact that it's it's volatile and we have we have pullbacks. It's really to be expected. What's exciting this year is you see, Bitcoin has never been stronger. Like the the Bitcoin identity as the world's digital capital network, the dominant digital monetary network of the world. So Bitcoin itself is alive and healthy. It's never been more embraced. Accounting treatments, tax treatments, banking support, institutional support is greater than ever. So that's the first thing that's exciting. The second thing that's exciting is the formation of the digital credit market. Digital credit was non-existent 12 months ago, and it has gone from nothing to more than $11 billion as an asset class. So something that something that's growing a billion dollars a month and or more is an interesting thing.

SPEAKER_05 25:00

And so So he says 12 months ago, this sector, the digital credit thing, didn't exist.

SPEAKER_04 25:06

No, I thought it was one month ago.

SPEAKER_05 25:08

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sorry, one month ago. Yeah. It didn't exist. Now it has an $11 billion valuation with expectation that it's going to uh generate revenue of a billion dollars a month. Wow. How can you how you better find out about this? I mean, for real though. And next week we're going to uh I found out just by poking around if you don't have time to keep up with what's happening with AI, what's happening with uh augmented reality, and what's happening with with cryptocurrency, uh, we're gonna do a show next week that's gonna focus a little bit on skilled trades. They're building these huge data centers.

SPEAKER_04 25:50

I'm really interested in that.

SPEAKER_05 25:51

Well, this is well, yeah, if you have a student or a family member who's a middle schooler or somebody that's about to go into high school, listen, this is important because they're building these gigantic trade centers, uh, these AI data centers. I said trade centers, but it's data centers. There is a huge uh demand coming for electricians, people that can do HVAC, and so forth and so on.
