I want to hear from different voices. I don't want [music] to just hear from people that agree with me. We're about to dive into some even deeper, deeper topics. Ask a brother podcast. Ask a brother podcast.
Welcome to another episode of Ask a brother podcast. I'm your host, Jeff Saint James. You know, the [music] revolution is going to be because of us. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what's going on? What's going on?
Welcome to another episode of Ask a brother podcast. I am your host, Jeff Saint James. And listen, y'all, I am excited. I'm excited about this brother. I think he brings a lot to the table when it comes to one of the being one of the few intellectual giants, especially in the space of advocating on the behalf of people, Americans, black black people especially. I'm so excited for this to get this brother on.
So, real quick, man, although we've only been doing this channel for a year and 14 days exactly. Shout out to the 30,000, 39,354 subscribers since I last checked about 15, 20 minutes ago. Shout out to all of you. Shout out to the members, the members, the subscribers, everybody that's been engaging in the men's groups that we've started. Like, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely love the fact that you all have been supporting this brand, supporting this channel. And I'm so, so hyped about what's to come. Many, many announcements that we're going to be announcing in the very near future, potentially as early as this month. One announcement specific for the ladies, a couple major announcements specific for the channel. So excited about what's to come.
And remember, y'all, your boy is going to be going to Turkey next month. And I may decide I may do a little mini vlog and record some of my experience out there to just kind of let you guys know behind the scenes what's happening with that, for sure. Thank you all that watched my episode of my interview last night with Shape. Call me Shape the podcaster. And make sure you guys subscribe to his channel if you haven't. And remember, y'all, that tomorrow I'm going to do a final live for this week titled Ladies, Your Money Is Useless on Thursday tomorrow night. I believe 8:00, probably more than likely the same time, more or less.
So, if you are not a member, this is always a welcome for you to become a member of the channel. I will be notifying the members first what some of those key core announcements are in advance so that if they plan on signing up or engaging in the stuff that we're going to be releasing first, they'll get first dibs at being notified about it as well. So, when that happens, all members, regardless of tier, once we post it on YouTube, all the members will be the first to know and they'll be the first to be allowed to get access to being able to sign up for the things that we're going to be offering pretty soon.

So, quick things that are always say, y'all, always, always, always make sure that you like this video. Make sure that you share it with two to three people. I'm very excited about this particular individual having seen in some of his stuff for quite a while now, the last few years. I've learned and realized that he he brings a lot to the table when it comes to thinking, processing things, not just accepting what we're told to do, which is very much what I believe this channel is about, which is about intellectual diversity, political diversity, the ability for people to think through where they are, why how we've gotten here and what it is that we can do different and not waiting for what we tradition and society and the government just tell us what we're allowed to do. And Crew Fest 2009 is already kicking it off. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the $4.99.
So, I'm telling y'all, if y'all want more and more guests like this to come on, the super chats are always helpful. The engagement, always hyping the videos when they're made available for you to hype them, sharing them cuz as we continue to build this, we're moving on the road to get to close to 50,000 for sure. So, I appreciate and hey, somebody already heard me and posted from Atlanta to New York. Let me know that you guys are in the building. I'm hyped. I'm excited.

And no, it will not be not what y'all think in terms of a review. It's just going to let y'all know more specifically I looked at the science, but now it's time to try it myself and let you all know what I think about it personally. And man, hey, I may even allow the Mrs. to kind of give some feedback as well.
So, y'all, without further ado, and hey, I see Dr. James is in the building. Appreciate you, brother. Always showing love, always coming through, for sure. So, I'm going to say it again and I'm going to say it maybe three or four times throughout the interview. I'm going to try to pay a lot of attention to this brother because I like how he thinks. He thinks out of the box and I don't want to get too caught up in a lot of the comments and stuff. So, the only way I'm really going to pinpoint is is either really, really good comment or you've hit that super chat button to justify why it is that we're going to pick your particular comment or remark or question out of all the 50, hundreds that probably going to pop off over the course of this conversation.

The donations I always say is for those who are new, those who aren't members and maybe even those who aren't subscribers. But again, y'all, welcome to the show.
So, y'all, without further ado, uh with I get ready to introduce this guest, I'm going to say this respectfully, y'all. Um there's very few people who I've watched online and realized in listening to them that I wasn't as alone in my thoughts as I once maybe potentially thought. And I think this this brother, man, I think I think he brings the real, like the raw, the the uncon- version of truth in environments most unwilling and unable to even accept it. Um I think he is the product of what intellect can become when placed under pressure to succeed. And each time I've observed him get behind a microphone or a camera, I see a mind that is always working, always thinking, and always planning. And when I think about some of the legends from the past, like, I don't know, Fred Hampton, I often wonder if there are guys in this generation who I can see that same spirit in. And I think tonight's next guest is one of those individuals who I've sensed and seen that in him multiple times, especially when he's most passionate. And I'm excited, man. So, he's a real one. I'm excited to have him on coming on this evening to allow just two minds that refuse to allow their thoughts to be controlled by, you know, outside forces, the government, people, black people, white people. Like, we're going to try to think for ourselves. And I think this is going to be a really, really interesting discussion. So, please, please, please help me welcome to the stage Mr. Actually, let me let me let me put this together. Let me welcome to the stage from Let me get my sound effects up. Let me welcome to the stage the brother who I admire. I love what he's doing. Please, please, please welcome this brother to the stage, Mr. The Mr. Smart Guy. What's going on, sir? >> [applause] >>
How you doing, brother? Hey. Listen, brother, I cannot complain, cannot complain, man. Hey, welcome, welcome to the show, man. Oh, man, thank you. Thank you so much for having me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I appreciate it, for sure, man. So, real >> Is the camera getting you good? Yeah, you're great. You're great. Um so, for starters, man, how did you even start getting into like podcasts and these type of content platforms cuz before you were like rapping and you were doing other stuff like you were boxing rapping. >>
I still rap. I still I'm still rapping. I'm still I'm still boxing. Um so the podcast you know, I had a great relationship with um had a great relationship with Math Hoffa and at the time I think he was just getting started with his podcast. I was driving through I was driving through Harlem. I was driving through Harlem and I saw him filming. Right? You hear me? Mhm. Yeah, I hear you. Can you hear me? Yep. Okay. Um I saw him filming. Wait, say something cuz I don't know if I heard you. You hear me? I hear you. I hear you fine. Can you still hear me? >> mic on? Yeah. You want to say something back? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm here. You can't hear me? Oh, okay. Try coming Try Try coming in from your car. I don't know why it's not I can't hear you speak. Um okay. I can hear him fine. Hey, everybody in the audience, can you hear me? So So Math Hoffa he had a podcast. I saw him filming and I kind of just I kind of just was driving by I was driving by and I saw them filming and I just was being nosy and I just saw them filming and they had a conversation and I just interjected into the conversation. Mhm. [clears throat] Mhm. Mhm. Can Can you Can you still hear me? I don't think he can hear me. Um Okay, but can you I can't Can you hear me? I can hear you, you can hear me, but it sounds like you Yeah. Yeah, so why don't you leave and then come back? Try to leave Try to leave Try leaving and coming back. Say it again? Can you leave and come back? Can you Can you hear me? I can't hear you. Well, leave and come back. Leave and come back. I can't hear you. All right, let me do this. Da da da da da da. I have a chat. Leave and come back. All right, y'all. So he's going to um probably leave and and come back because I I think he's the it's it's probably him being in the car. It's the Bluetooth thing is probably messing with it for sure. Um And actually I'm going to tell him to turn off his Bluetooth cuz that probably would help. Da da da da da. Turn off Bluetooth. All right, can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Yeah, I can hear you. All right, so let me do this one. Da da da da Move. There we have it. Yeah, so yeah, some people were saying that maybe it's the Bluetooth sometimes kind of messes with it. Um but yeah, so you were saying that you knew Math Hoffa? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So I knew Math Mhm. So So I knew Math and he they were filming an episode and I just so happened to be driving by and I saw it and and I saw it and I just you you you know was intrusive and was you know, jumped into the conversation and a lot of people when the episode came out a lot of people were actually like, "Yo, who's this guy? Who's this guy? Oh my god, bring him back bring him back." And then Math had called me on the phone. He was like, "Yo, you want to come back on the on on the show?" I was like, "I ain't think [clears throat] nothing of it." I said, "Sure." And that very next episode, you know, was what broke the internet. We did We did 2 million views and it just went super viral when I was and that was the thing where I was talking about the music industry and artists compromising all that [ __ ] you see happening with Diddy and uh etc. etc. Mhm. Yep. Listen, I'm I'm going to try to stay away from that to that crazy uh situation unfortunately. Yeah, but I will add but I will say this, man. Um I've loved seeing your perspective in all of those spaces and all those different podcasts because Yep. Yep. Yep. Yeah, cuz a lot of people I realize once they get behind a microphone they kind of focus on like who's in front of them, their audience and they start changing their message around. And what I've noticed for like 3 years now having reviewed stuff like the different things you've been on, you're literally the same person on the street, behind the microphone, in front of these podcasts. Let me say Yeah, what is it about How are you able to do that when most people like can't do that? Well Well, I think I think it's very important to have some type of uh integrity have principles, know who you are and make your content be as close in alignment with your authentic self as possible. Mhm. Mhm. And I never wanted to I never even to this very moment I'm not doing this thing for likes. I'm not doing this for likes, clicks and to go viral. You know, my main focus is bringing information, adding value and trying my best to inspire as many African-Americans, as many black people, as many people as possible. So that's always been the That's always been the focus. That's That's who I am. I love I love knowledge. I've I love learning. I love reading, right? And um yeah. So I never was moved by the numbers and you know, I'm not addicted to to likes and clicks. Mhm. Right? And I'm very very I'm very very very comfortable with with myself, right? I've worked years and years on developing my self-esteem my confidence how I view myself Mhm. and and I learned that it's very important to look in the look in the mirror as opposed to looking out the window in terms of looking outside yourself. Mhm. So I've always [clears throat] I've always made what I'm able to do the point of reference as opposed to someone telling me what I can do and what I can't do. I'm going to put I need proof of concept. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Now I I appreciate that because since I started this podcast last January, I'm going through that now where I'm constantly having to um remind myself why I'm doing this, that I want to keep doing this and being willing to stand on it when a lot of people around you either disagree or just feel like the total opposite. And it's all >> what what what what what what's phases, right? So the first phase [clears throat] is you have to identify who you are. Right? You have to identify who you are as as a show, as a content creator, as a podcaster, as a brand, as a person, as a man, right? You You have to create the definition of you know who you are and what you represent. And then you have to figure out how can you create content connected to who you are, right? >> [clears throat] >> And how does that content add value? Right? How does that content add value for what you do based upon who you are and to to audience that can receive what you're what you're creating, right? And then you have to go a period of time producing and putting out content and establishing a connection with people who um stream or consume your content. Now you start to develop credibility. Mhm. Right? And then once you start to develop credibility, now you can if you if you want to monetize, then you have to increase the value that you're already adding to justify monetizing the content that you create or or what you bring. Mhm. Mhm. And then you have to be And you have to be mindful a lot of this stuff is commercialized. So if it's commercialized, then you have a commercial. If you have a commercial, then you need a product. You need a product and you need a service. So McDonald's, they have commercials. They make amazing commercials. But McDonald's are not making money off of the actual commercial. The McDonald's are making money off the off the real estate and uh burgers and fries. Mhm. Right? So you have to identify what's going to be the product that you develop that you that you can sell, what can be the service that you can provide or what are going to be the products and services that you're going to promote if you decide not to create a product or create a service. Nah. Nah. I I appreciate that and I'm definitely definitely working on some actual products uh because I realize when I do this, it's really just my time and my energy that's being up for everybody and I'm realizing like I got to work smarter and work more efficiently. And because if I approach this like a full-time job, then it just turns into another 9-to-5. And I'm like I got to I got to >> there's but but but there's but but there's nothing wrong with approaching it like a 9-to-5 because one of the benefits you're going to get from taking that approach is structure, system. You have to have structures and systems. You have to be organized. You have to create a system and you have to you have to commit. Right? Everybody wants to Everybody wants this [ __ ] to be about 10,000 milliseconds when success is about 10,000 hours. Yeah. It takes about 10 It takes about 10 years to build a long-lasting sustainable business that you're going to actually be able to scale. Nah. I Hey, I appreciate that and and and I actually wanted to pick your brain. One of the things that I've been observing for a little bit is about some of your comments on politics. Now, I recently came out to my audience, right? And I told them that I'm an independent as of 2024 officially. Yep. And and I'm I'm really really tired of the two-party duopoly debates and arguments. I and I think both parties are pretty much compromised. And I identify now as like a black um political deconstructionist. Um that's just a fancy way of saying like I don't I I believe that deconstructing the attachments that black people have to a particular party and helping us to focus more on like group economics, um working together. I even think that if we did that for a period of time and then re-entered the political space, we'd have more finan- financial leverage. We we we maybe have more authority in that space versus um going about it the way that we have. From your opinion and and I'm asking you this question because when I've observed you and seeing how you've talked, it does seem and sound a lot like you're really big on like doing for self, uh economic self-sufficiency both for individuals and for the community. And I almost sense like you almost kind of come off to me like a little bit of a hybrid between like the the Black Panthers and Booker T. Washington. Tell me where Tell me where you are on the political spectrum. Well, well, first I think it's important for us to understand political science. Mhm. I think it's important for us to understand how both parties function within the system. Democrats being pro-equality with regulation, um Republicans being pro-freedom with limited uh limited government and strong borders, right? The issue is we don't have a vested interest in any candidate. We have to have a You have to have a vested me- meaning you have to have a financial um interest in the person that's running the campaign, right? This is This is almost like a business, right? Mhm. And then we have to also We're talking about the presidency, right? Mhm. We have to also understand that if we don't have institutions that can finance candidates and if we don't have institutions that can enforce penalties on those candidates that get elected with our backing, then we're never going to be able to move the needle forward within the system unless we create our own system and our own government, right? Mhm. >> And the problem is we're looking at politicians like they're leaders when they're really politicians. And we don't necessarily have American presidents, we have party presidents, presidents who are loyal to you to the interests of the party that they represent, whether that be Democrat or Republican. And in this current case, um you know, uh Republican. Mhm. Mhm. >> Right? So, this is why you see you you know, someone focus on freedom. Donald Trump is focused on freedom. He's focused on limited government and he's focused on strong borders. This is what Republicans you represent. And because we don't understand political science, we look at Donald Trump like he's evil or it's like a surprise or we're getting blindsided or someone's moving a goalpost when they're just when they're just going on with business as usual. The problem is we don't have the uh collective finances pulled together into one institution Mhm. to to finance someone getting into office and we don't have our own military or our own private militias that have the the the the guts or or the balls to enforce penalties if those candidates don't um you know, come through with what they promised to come through with, Mhm. right? So, when you look at when you look at um the mob back in the day, the mob was able to move the needle with presidents and with the government because they had militias and they were willing to impose physical harm on politicians who who on on on on politicians who refuse to You >> promised, yeah. Do what they promised, right? So, it's important [clears throat] for us to understand like the difference between Democrats, Republicans, also for us to understand political science, and also to understand that we don't we don't need a party president, we need American president, we need a president that is focused on the the interest of of the American people. And that's not going to happen um for all American people because there's certain groups, us in particular, Mhm. who who don't have the institutional power to get the maximum benefit of a uh elected uh candidate. Mhm. Uh that that makes >> Yeah. So, then I would ask you even with the most recent election from 2024 till now, what are your thoughts about those two candidates that ran, both Trump and Kamala, from your vantage point? Well, well, well, again, I think I think they were they were um they were they were president they were candidates running for the presidency to ensure the interests of the party that they come from, right? Mhm. And when you when you strip away the marketing done on the campaign trail, you'll see you have a Democrat running against a Republican, right? Someone who is focused on equality um with uh regulation. And we're talking about Democrats, Democrats are have been historically very very primarily focused on L LG LGBTQ rights. Mhm. Mhm. So, when it comes to African Americans, we take a backseat to homosexuals when it comes to Democrats. And when it comes to Republicans, Republicans don't really favor neither, but their focus is their focus is on the old boy network, um strong borders and limited government, right? So, when you when you talking about Kamala and Trump, they just were focused on making sure the interests of their party would be addressed once they get elected, but in the in the but in a way when they're on the campaign trail, maybe marketing themselves in a way that can garner votes, but once they get into office, they're going to do what's best for the for for the party that they represent and the people that have a a vested interest in their position. Yeah. Yeah, especially when it comes Yeah. And because we don't understand political science, and it's by design, but because we don't understand political science, we don't know how to move the needle forward and we're powerless in those conversations because not only do we not know have because not only do we not have power, but we don't have the intention or education to acquire to hold those people in power accountable. Mhm. >> comes from that comes from the slave ca- uh the slave consciousness, okay? So, the slave consciousness um is almost like uh a catalyst for our acceptance of it the slave consciousness is a catalyst for our society to acceptance of white supremacy. So, we accept white supremacy which limits us from being independent. So, we accept white superiority because of the slave consciousness and a lot of us living life from that POV will never will never um you know, challenge the current white power structure. Yeah. Yeah, and what's crazy with what you said is when you had when you're beholden to and I like what you phrase it as with the slave consciousness, when you're beholden to that, the concept of thinking about doing something outside of the system they gave you is like foreign to them. They see you as like bizarre, yeah. But because because but but you have to understand, you cannot be insensitive. See, we're the only group of people who are not allowed to monopolize, you know, sympathy. Mhm. >> Right? Like, you know, you know, the so-called Jews, they're able to, you know, tell you about the Holocaust to this day after reparations, after becoming a superpower and having tremendous power. They they They're still they're still getting you to boohoo and give them tissue for what happened to them, but those wrongs were righted, Mhm. okay? And we we we talk about we talk about um um Palestine and you know, everybody else's issue gets addressed but ours, and we're not allowed to have feelings. We're forced into desensitization and there's no expectation for us for anybody else to feel sorry for us, okay? Mhm. >> And not only do we deal with that, which is racism, right? Mhm. But we also deal with we built towns. Like I'm I'm from New York, right? Central Park Central Park was called Seneca Village. Yep. >> We owned we owned that, right? So, we were we were we were robbed, forced to sell our land. You people talk about Black Wall Street, they don't talk about redlining how, you know, we were Yep. You know, we we were bombed out of towns and cities that we built and denied insurance. So, imagine you pay for insurance and someone vandalizes your business and then not only do you lose the business, lose the money that the business is generating, but you also lose the money that you invest to insure the business. Mhm. Right? When you talk about when you talk about Rosewood, like you know, Rosewood, these cities that had tremendous wealth, lands, and crops, right? Mhm. They poisoned the water supply. Okay? We were denied loans. Right? Mhm. You I mean So, there's trauma, right? There's real trauma that that came from slavery that we still deal with to this day. Even when you look at police right now, there's four there's four police officers in front of me, right? Mhm. I have to have you know, looking look at them do a side eye because I don't know what they're capable of doing. You know, we see police, we we we deal with trauma, right? So, there's a reason why we have this slave consciousness and there's a reason why there's a resistance in terms of destroying the slave consciousness. Yeah. Yeah, now that makes a lot of sense and I'm glad that you gave the the context because a lot of times I think the people who identify themselves as black conservatives, especially they'll go too far to the other extreme, which is like, "Yeah, we got to do for self and we have to do this and do that." But they're not willing to acknowledge the and have that empathy of of why it is that it's so difficult. Be Be because because what it is is it's it's it's a captured person. Right? It's the It's the slave consciousness, right? Because no matter what, you're accepting you're accepting the handicap. You're accepting the moving of the goalpost. We playing one-on-one basketball and their three-pointers are five points and our three-pointers are uh uh uh a one point and our two-pointers are negative two points. So, you score a layup, you should score two points and you score a layup, it's negative it's negative four and we actually got good enough to beat our opposition while being handicapped and even when we beat them and we accept the handicap, then they just murder us and and and and and move the goalpost. [ __ ] the [ __ ] the game. We're just going to shoot you [ __ ] and not allow you to win. So, we we came out of slavery, we didn't get land, we didn't get reparations, we didn't get we didn't get no laws passed to benefit us. We still had to deal with the clan. We still had to deal with mass murder, right? And we were able to build cities, multiple cities. People always talk about Black Wall Street. We built thousands of cities in this country. Okay? And you know, millions of black people owned businesses, hospitals, banks, educational centers. We tried to infiltrate government. They did a coup d'état every time. And that's where, you know, we're just we're just going to get murdered. Okay, you you You [ __ ] don't want to be in the field? You [ __ ] think you're going to be supreme judges? Yeah, sure. Take this Take this 20 lbs of dynamite. Mhm. >> All right? Mhm. So, we don't we don't have uninterrupted advancement. Every time we try to advance, we're dealing with the colonizer because the colonizer because the white man's sole focus is on maintaining his power structure. It's white supremacy. Mhm. Right? If you look at the movie There's a movie right now, right? There's a movie right now that's with um uh Leonardo DiCaprio and uh uh Teyana Taylor, right? >> Teyana Taylor, yeah, yeah. Mhm. And and the guy he's trying to get into the the Christmas club, right? And it's like this Illuminati kind of a white elite group, right? And they asked him They said, "Listen, man." They killed him because he had an interracial baby and he and he had sex with a black woman. So, even though it was a movie, art imitates reality, right? There's real underground you know, European groups of elites that their sole focus is on maintaining white supremacy. Yeah. Okay? So, no matter what you So, so no matter what you do, it's never going to be good enough and if it is good enough, you're going to you're going to deal with a penalty for being good enough. Okay? Mhm. So, once you accept the handicap, you say, "Okay, we're going to we're going to do a race, white man versus black man." But guess what? We're going to do you like Julius Caesar did Russell Crowe in Gladiator. We're going to poke you in the lung before the before the final fight, wrap you up like you good, and then you're going to fight. And then when you when you kick his ass and you're about to kill him, they're going to shoot you with arrows and kill you anyway. Mhm. Mhm. >> Right? If you don't If you don't If you don't If you don't accept the conditions that lead to failure, then you're angry. If you accept the conditions that lead to failure and you succeed, we're still going to kill you. Mhm. Mhm. >> [clears throat] >> This is how they play. Mhm. So, when we understand that, we stop looking for That's why I said the the focus has to be you know, looking in the mirror and not looking out the window and not looking to the white man, not looking to a government that wasn't created to benefit us or push our advancement for for help. Fact. >> Right? Fact. And we have to we have to we have to we have to create our own government, our own nation, our own system, our own institutions, our own military to combat this enemy that we've been having since the beginning of time. And there's no there's no secret that this [ __ ] is our enemy. Okay? And [clears throat] if we do if we do get involved in the current government that is ran by them, then we need to bare minimum at least understand political science, understand the functions of each position, and the proper expectations for each position, right? And how to hold and how to hold those people in position accountable. There has to be a threat of physical violence. With no physical violence If there's no physical violence, there's no accountability. White people don't hold people accountable with protesting. They hold them accountable with bullets, bombs, gas, poison, and murder. Listen. We not going to skip over what you just said and it's that I think what you're And and again, tell me if I'm on with this. A lot of our previous historical leaders that were really big on nonviolence, one of the things that they told us or told our our predecessors was, "I want you to go into this fight, like you said, handicapped, but there but I want both your hands tied behind your back and you're still going to fight on our behalf." >> Yeah, you coming with a picket Look Look, you coming with a You come You coming with a sign, they coming with a bullet. Right? You coming with a sign. You coming with a sign. You coming with, you know, a a bunch of people and and guess what? Mhm. He's not moving. And when when he breaks the law when he breaks the law that he wrote, how do you hold him accountable if you don't have a company, a institution to physically enforce penalties? Mhm. Mhm. Right? This nonviolence This nonviolence [ __ ] is [ __ ] Okay? So, again, so so this is why it's important for us to understand, right? Um um you know, building our own nation that's focused on freedom, advancement, advancement of sciences and culture, innovations, medicine, peace, and uh sustainability. Also, a place where where where where you know, our people can experience freedom, wealth, and advancement without interference. And if you interfere, there's a threat there's a threat of violence. Right? You look at police officers. Right now, I'm looking at four police officers, right? Four little piggies. Okay? And you know what I see? You know what I see? I see handcuffs, I see mace, I see a taser, I see multiple firearms, and I see a bulletproof vest. What is [ __ ] peaceful about the things I just told you that I saw? Okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, they'll tell you to stop, but if you don't stop, you're going to you're going to you're going to be met with violence and physical force. You see? So, if we don't have the latter, the violence and the physical force, we're we're never going to get the people who oppress us to stop oppressing us because why would you? Why Why would the What you think Look, could you imagine Could you imagine Right? I got a I got a Cane Corso. I got a I got a I got a I got a dog. He's a puppy, right? >> Yeah, Right? So, that's like my dog being by himself in the park capturing a squirrel and he has the squirrel and he's ripping the squirrel apart and the squirrel is telling him, "Please, Mr. Dog, don't eat me. Don't eat me. >> [laughter] >> I'm telling you now. I'm telling you now, Mr. Dog. Mr. Dog, I SQUIRREL LIVES MATTER. JUSTICE >> [laughter] >> OH MY GOD. YO, the squirrel is out of You're dead. You're You're You're What are you talking about? That's like an alligator You ever see an alligator catch a zebra? Oh my god, and it does that alligator twirl? That's like the zebra being caught in the jaw of an alligator saying, "Hey, Mr. Alligator, you're not going to eat me ever again." Mhm. >> Why does the alligator have to respect your cries of pain and punishment when he can just eat you? You're going to be eaten. So, if we don't embrace violence, if we don't embrace murder, right? If we don't embrace self-defense, right? Meaning I'm I'm I'm giving you what you're giving me, Yeah. we're never going to be we're never going to be free. And then now we So, these see these are things that are important, right? Us developing institutions that can protect us from our advancement being interfered by people who fear our advancement, okay? Because they view they view our advancement as their extinction. So, if this person that is in power views our advancement as extinction, then we're never going to be allowed to advance unless we have the nuts to protect ourselves with violence if necessary. Now, the next thing I want to talk about is, you know, we're talking about developing a nation, right? The location has to be Africa. We have to We have to get out of the land of our holocaust and establish our own government outside of America and then come back to America with the power of a nation that like every other, you know, other ethnicity does, right? So, you know, to where we can be recognized as one superpower with a government that serves the people but does not dominate uh the people, which is our people. And [clears throat] then we need we need citizenship for that government defined by genetics um and uh and language, right? So, we need to create three primary We need to create three primary languages for our nation um including holidays and and and celebration events. And you are citizen based upon your genetics. So, you ain't going to have a choice. If you black and you look like me, then you one of us. Mhm. You one of us. So, all this divide divide and conquer, you I'm pro I'm black I'm you are. YOU WE CHECK YOUR BLOOD AND IT'S THE SAME. We check your genetics and you got the same amount of melanin drops, you one of us. Mhm. Okay? You you know, it it it it it's not a hundred different Chinese [ __ ] We got Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. We got Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan and sometimes Jet Li. All right? That's all the [ __ ] we know. >> We know Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and sometimes Jet Li, okay? Yeah. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And then and and and then the next thing would be us focusing on a currency that's backed by natural resources. Mhm. >> Okay? No more No more of this Bitcoin [ __ ] No more of these Bitcoin is like a a a a a farm that don't produce no crop. Mhm. >> Right? So, we need our own our own currency, right? That's backed by natural resources and the resources that we own and control from the lands that we live on. Okay? Um and we need to develop our own infrastructure, which will be roads, power source, health care, and defense and diplomacy. Defense meaning our own military. And if we partner up with somebody, we don't mind partnering up with China cuz we've been we've we've we've been working with them [ __ ] for a long time, but just not in a capacity that makes sense for us. Mhm. Okay? Mhm. So, and then and then we need to nurture we need to nurture our arts. This is why it's important to have media companies telling our own telling our own stories. Okay? You know, telling our own stories, writing our own praises, okay? And we meaning we define our identity to ourselves and to the world and we control how it's mass marketed and distributed. Okay? Then we protect and preserve our history. I might ask you this question. Um you've been doing this thing all online for a little while now, and I have recently last year in the in recently this month, I've observed a couple conversations that you had with the brother 19 Keys. And I wondered if you guys truly realize how dangerous what you're doing actually is. Well, this is not dangerous. This is necessary. Okay? So, okay? This is not dangerous. This is necessary. And God is the best bodyguard for any righteous man. Mhm. God is the best bodyguard any righteous man will ever have. I'm like Whitney Houston with Kevin Costner in this [ __ ] Mhm. All right? So, there's that that's a slave consciousness, right? Because now you're trying to Now you're trying to perpetuate fear in the leadership. Ain't nothing dangerous about talking about advancing your people. Ain't nothing dangerous talking about empowering your people cuz you're going to be protected by God. We don't we we're not afraid of nothing but God. Mhm. >> So, that thing of fear or this is dangerous, [ __ ] out of here. This ain't dangerous. This is This is necessary. And it's more Okay? And you know, yeah, and and and fear and like I said, I'm going to say it again. I'm going to double down on this. Fear is not something that men guided by God indulge in. When you're guided by God, you're not living in fear. You're living in purpose. Yeah. >> Right? You're living in protection. I am blessed. I am protected. I am loved. I serve a higher power, and the power that I serve is higher than the white man. Mhm. Okay? Mhm. >> worried about no [ __ ] white people, man. Now, and the reason why I brought that up was was I wasn't worried about you or or 19 Keys and whether or not y'all had already had that mentality of it's necessary. >> No. No no no, it's not about having a mentality. It's about the actual reality. Remember, if there's no enemy on the inside, no enemy on the outside can ever do you any harm. This is why they have to use fear. The white man operates like Freddy Krueger. If you know anything about Freddy Krueger, you got to believe in the power of Freddy Krueger in order for that power to harm and hurt you. See, the white man the white man's power is weaponized by the slave consciousness. Right? We empower him through the slave consciousness. We ain't You ain't got to fear nobody, man. You talking about Don't no man control your expiration date. The only thing that controls your expiration date is God. Mhm. When it's your time to go When it's your time to go, you gone. When it's not time When it's not your time to go, you staying. And don't nobody got a choice different. Okay? Yeah. >> have to move We have to move from these conversations about oh, this is dangerous to talk. No, it's dangerous to accept being a slave. It's dangerous to accept the wolf >> [laughter] >> as your protector and he and and you're the [ __ ] chicken. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Nah, I I think that fact. >> it. Now that's You hear me? Now that's dangerous. Yeah. Nah, I I agree. And the reason why I was asking that Look look look look look look look Isn't it Isn't it I don't know if you've seen Nosferatu or Dracula? Isn't it dangerous for a [ __ ] to to to lay next to Dracula in his coffin and expect him not to drink drink him dry? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's It's fact. >> That's [ __ ] dangerous. The I I agree. >> you talking about? You got a better chance Look, you look look you look man, you got a better chance You look you got a better chance dragging that [ __ ] to the light like Blade out this [ __ ] >> [laughter] >> Nah, but I appreciate the way that you answered >> I was going to say I appreciate the fact that you answered it in that way because the secondary piece I was going to ask in relation to why you two have the approach that you do. Obviously, it's necessary, but the secondary piece is how do you know that the people Yeah, how do you
know. Hold on. Listen. Listen. Hold on. I can't speak for 19. I can't speak for 19 Keys. He does what he decides to do. I'm doing what I'm doing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, we're not grouped up. We're not. I'm not speaking for 19 Keys. I'm not speaking on 19 [clears throat] Keys. I'm talking about myself. Fair. Fair. The reason why I'm asking is how do you know that the people and the guys around you feel the same way that you do?
No, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

They they originally came. It's really cool to see that. It's really cool to see that.
So, listen y'all, I hope that y'all enjoyed this. I hope that y'all thoroughly thoroughly got something out of it for sure. And and last but not least, Trackstar 2, thank you for the $5.
How is the system against you when immigrants of the same color can come and do better? Uh, this is a great question. I'll just answer this real quick and then I'm going to log off because I got to get ready for a live tomorrow night and also for some additional things I have to take care of.
All right. So, there's something called a um Well, it's it's a couple things. So, you have what's called the model minority complex or whatever you want to call it, model minority. So in every um organization, system, country, structure, whatever you have like majority culture and then you have minority culture. Um the majority culture is going to come up with an approach, cultural, social, societal, even maybe legal where they'll have certain parameters of what it is that they deem acceptable to them as part of the majority and therefore what they consider normal, part of the the um the the what we want. What we like, what we want, that's considered normal, right?
So, immigrants that come over who haven't experienced some of the things that perhaps from a multi-generational standpoint people who are native-born black American foundation black Americans did they're going to have an entirely different frame of reference, right? And people who are in positions of power when they have to pick and choose, sometimes they'll base and again, you can you're more than welcome Dr. Will James actually talked about this very thoroughly um about if you actually study different um uh articles and studies where they showed uh discriminatory approaches when it comes to hiring based off of a person's name off the resume or application. And if there is a stereotype we just had a judge that had to just stay down I just had to step down I think this week about her saying I'm not one of them old racist, I'm one of the new ones, right? You're going to have you can't eradicate racism. You can't eradicate bias, you can't eradicate prejudice. But the people that are those things if they have positions where they can hire if they don't want to get sued for um discrimination on the basis of race sometimes people may discriminate on the basis of where they think potentially that person is from what their name sounds like, how ethnic they sound, um etc. etc. etc.
Um, so there is a frame of reference where there are some people who if I have to pick a black one it's probably not going to be one born here. They may assume um or may have a bias with assuming that the the the um the immigrant, the legal immigrant will be more appreciative of being in America and not uh if they're if they're under a certain cards ID status, right? They may be more appreciative of the opportunity but be less likely to complain and advocate for themselves. It's actually no different than the border being open and people hiring undocumented immigrants. On one end, people could say, oh, well, you know, um they're giving these people employment X, Y, and Z but they're exploiting them and they know that the Mexican and Hispanic and white and black people who are undocumented immigrants will be less likely to complain or will less likely to advocate for certain things um and will be much more likely to tolerate certain things as well.
Um, so in a nutshell um one way to view it is and this is actually a great example of this. If you don't know history well you won't understand how and why people in the black community languished at different points throughout our history and then when other groups came in, they were just able to like you said, zip the line and just there were Asian people that were allowed to get loans to put businesses in neighborhoods that black people could not get to fix up their homes or to move out of. So, this question is usually in reference to the after effects. If you can envision that there's a difference between white people that are born in America and white people born in Europe if you can envision there is a difference between foundational black Americans born here and black people born anywhere else. Native-born speaking Spanish people here those that are that were born and raised in their respective home countries. It's no different where sometimes this people view black people, Hispanic people, this person that they just view them on tiers. Um, and you'll hear it sometimes in conversations with people when it comes to politics, when it comes to education, when it comes to speaking, when it comes to where you're from and even down to what you make.
Um, do I view it as an excuse? Uh, not in the grand scheme of things. But is it enough to where if people believe too much in a model minority concept that it can impact them overlooking giving jobs and opportunities to native-born people here um and not doing and and skipping over them? Again, part of the DEI whole complaint is in reference to white males and Asians specifically not getting hired at the rates they probably would have if not for DEI. thing. Um, and as somebody who had to report on DEI um our DEI results for the last 5 6 years, it's a real thing. They were never interested in asking me how many white males did we have. They were in reference to minorities. They were in reference to women. They were in reference to Spanish-speaking I'm not Spanish uh people who spoke other languages. That was real. That was real. Um, so all of that plays into things whether people have really recognized it or not.
So, as an example to this if I can hire a black immigrant who also speaks two different languages versus a black American who was born here and I can potentially get access to extra funding if I can check off two boxes versus one that's an easy thing to choose. Right? Um, so it's little stuff like that um and probably a whole host of other things as well. Um, but you get the gist. Um, and I hope that that was a helpful answer to that particular question.
Just skimming through real quick um before I close out. So, listen y'all, this was dope. This was fun. I definitely want to re-listen to it again um because so much of what he was trying to check and he was trying to get me and the audience to recognize just how truly powerful our thoughts really are. And even as a therapist as I'm asking these questions, I'm just probing and and trying to inquire where this dude's thoughts are. His brain functions like a damn fortress. Where you have to be very very intentional about when where and when and how you ask him certain questions because he's already decided something, decided what his vision is, what his purpose is and he's just moving. He's not thinking about detractors. He's not thinking about people who aren't going to support. He's not thinking about and he's he's not thinking about what other people think about him. He is like I know what I'm here for and I'm going to do that. And I'm like, "Yeah, man." That's inspiring. That's this time to do that for sure.
So, listen y'all um I I hope that this was helpful. I hope that y'all liked it and I'm again, I I I can't wait to announce the things that I'm going to announce, man, but thank y'all for supporting this brand, man. Thank y'all for supporting this channel. And I appreciate Naz saying this, it's just tunnel vision. And I think we all I'm not saying don't watch the news. Uh you can stay abreast of it to to some degree. But I think that mentality, that tunnel vision, that that that approach to how it is that we need to tackle our goals and and and fixing our lives and fixing our communities and fixing our relationships and marriages and tunnel vision. So, everybody else is debating about Republican versus Democrat and left versus blue and left versus right and red versus blue and all that. Yeah, listen, man, white and black and y'all can do all of that. Tunnel vision. Goal setting. Implementing. Action. He He got me charged up in recognizing that there's there's there's some things that I'm definitely going to be leaning in on for sure.
And but but listen, before I go up to New York, your boy might do a couple push-ups, man, because I saw him and 19 Keys and a bunch of the other guys up there getting getting these gym workouts and I'm like, "Man, they they working out like we back in them college days." I'm like, "Oh my god." So, I'm like, "Yeah, man, it's time for me to go and time for me to go ahead and get get a couple get some Wheaties and get some protein in your boy and head up there and definitely meet those brothers and and see more about what they're building and what they're doing up there and and getting ready for the major major collaborations across the country that is going to take place um starting this year. Um so, I'm excited, man.
And and again, I think that uh I think that I think that um for those that know why this was these type of episodes with that the Charlestons, the Dave Andersons and now this one, if if you pick up what I'm putting down, you'll understand what it is and the type of shoulders and type of time we need to be on. He said shoulders. Yeah. Yeah, man. I'm I'm going to get there. I'm going to get there. I'm going to get back to it, man. I I've been so busy with with with a lot of other stuff, but listen, my my goal is is is the gym three to four days a week and and and yeah, I cannot wait.
So, listen y'all, your boy is tired. Tomorrow, ladies, your money doesn't mean anything is going to be our live for tomorrow night 8:00. Have a good night, y'all. Love y'all. Love the support.

Again, one last live tonight and then tomorrow or actually next week after tomorrow, next week I'm going to be heading to Turkey. So, I'm going to be out for probably seven, eight days, but that does not mean that we're not going to have some content potentially popping up, going live and still showing regardless. So, I'm going to be working on that on Friday and all through the week and to make sure that y'all have some stuff in place while your boy and and and all of us are out of town. Um so, just pray for our safety. Make sure that we're good that I come back these damn old braces is off so I could finally get a good night of sleep and um you know, hopefully by the time I come back, we'll be ready for me to announce a whole bunch of big things that's going to be happening with this channel, with this brand, with some new initiatives, with some major big projects and some major collaborations that's going to be happening. Stay tuned.
Um so, listen y'all, shout out to the Eagles for doing what needs to be done as far as removing our offensive coordinator as well. Um listen, I I'm Daboll. I want him or the bull from Miami. Somebody. Somebody Uh I am more than hoping that that happens. So, listen y'all, make sure you like this if you haven't. Make sure you send it to two or three people. Make sure you become a subscriber if you haven't. If you haven't been a subscriber after a year of me doing this conversation, I don't know why you're doing the secret support. But your views still counts, your engagement still counts. Just follow the follow the page if you haven't done so.
And listen y'all, your boy is on Spotify. We on TikTok. We on Instagram. It's almost 40,000 of y'all here on YouTube, but then when we go to Instagram or Ask a Brother podcast on Instagram, we're at like not even 7,000 people yet. So, please please please, man, make sure that y'all help with building up those platforms as well because my goal is to not have all my eggs in any one basket in the future. If all my eggs are just in the YouTube basket, can't be shocked if if enough people don't want you to have your channel anymore. Who knows what can happen. So, we're trying to make sure that we build up the the channel, build up the the this entire platform in such a way where we're just hitting hitting it from all angles.
For those of you with Spotify, we've already uploaded I think five of the first episodes. So, if you're big on audio and audio only on Spotify, Spotify is officially up. Between now and next week, we're going to we're going to hopefully have we're going to have Apple podcast up and running. Uh yeah, Apple podcast up. We already got Spotify up. I just started my Twitter/X I think a few days ago. Not a lot of people showed it yet, but if you just type in Ask a Brother, I believe it's Ask a Brother One. I will check and confirm that and we'll make sure either today or tomorrow that the link for that new X/Twitter is is added to our list of links so that you all can um just show love and support.
So, listen y'all, I'm going to tell you this, when this announcement comes in the next however many days, uh in the next week or so, um just know it's probably the biggest announcement I've ever made in my life. The biggest announcement I've ever made. And uh all I'm going to say is that I'll need y'all when it's time.
Listen y'all, have a good night. I'm going to talk to y'all on the other side and um you know, hopefully I can see y'all tomorrow. And thank you. Genuinely. Thank you. God sign out. Peace. >> [music]
