- 1:13Speaker 9: Alert Show nineteen Keys is here and a lot of
- 1:16Speaker 9: For those who don't know, where are you from a
- 1:19Speaker 9: little background on nineteen Keys.
- 1:21Speaker 8: I'm from Oakland, California.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Okay, so good Bay, Yeah area, the Yay area, Yeah,
- 1:27Speaker 3: some part something called it the Yea areas. You feel me,
- 1:29Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm born in Saint Louis, though raised in Oakland.
- 1:33Speaker 3: I left when I was two, so I went back
- 1:34Speaker 3: and forth in the saying between Oakland and Saint Louis.
- 1:38Speaker 8: And I consider myself to be.
- 1:40Speaker 3: A thought leader, serial entrepreneur, creator, designer, really any hyphen
- 1:44Speaker 3: that I need to be. You know, I don't really
- 1:45Speaker 3: put myself in those boxes. I just do what I
- 1:47Speaker 3: want to do.
- 1:48Speaker 7: Did you design your hat? And what is it? Yeah?
- 1:51Speaker 3: Man?
- 1:51Speaker 8: The hat, the sash? You know what I mean? Just
- 1:53Speaker 8: a little bit of realty, that's all.
- 1:55Speaker 1: And you're in the Nation.
- 1:57Speaker 8: Yes, I was born into it.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Okay, I was going to ask that, But you were
- 2:00Speaker 1: born into it?
- 2:01Speaker 8: Yeah? Okay?
- 2:01Speaker 7: Can you explain what that means?
- 2:03Speaker 1: Though?
- 2:03Speaker 5: I think people sometimes assume like the Nation is just
- 2:07Speaker 5: an organization, but I think it goes a little deeper
- 2:10Speaker 5: than that.
- 2:11Speaker 3: Well, I mean, it's been around since nineteen thirty, so
- 2:13Speaker 3: it's generations in right, like my family converted before I
- 2:17Speaker 3: was born, right, and now you know when we had
- 2:21Speaker 3: children and their children born growing up as black Muslims
- 2:23Speaker 3: in America. You know, Honorable Elijah Muhammad was the one
- 2:27Speaker 3: who introduced Islam to America. So as you see like
- 2:30Speaker 3: Arabs and unorthodox Arabs and things of that nature practice
- 2:33Speaker 3: it today, that's because of the foundation that he lied with.
- 2:36Speaker 3: So being born in the nation, we say that, you
- 2:38Speaker 3: know when you was born under that structure, you feel
- 2:41Speaker 3: me coming in the nation of Islam.
- 2:42Speaker 9: So where did the name nineteen keys come from? Did
- 2:45Speaker 9: it come from the nation?
- 2:46Speaker 3: It was probably influenced specifically by a masterful art of Muhammad.
- 2:51Speaker 3: He's the one who taught the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Right.
- 2:53Speaker 3: He taught them for three years, and then he gave
- 2:55Speaker 3: him the mission to go on and deliver a message.
- 2:58Speaker 3: And he successfully delivered that message and brought out the
- 3:00Speaker 3: likes of like Muhammed and Ali and Malcolm X and
- 3:03Speaker 3: honorable miss lous far Khan and so on and so forth.
- 3:06Speaker 3: So he had a quote in the nineteen thirties he said,
- 3:08Speaker 3: there's seventeen million original people, and there's two million Indians,
- 3:12Speaker 3: and he said that represents the nineteen million rusty locks.
- 3:15Speaker 8: And he said, there's nineteen.
- 3:16Speaker 3: Million well oil keys to unlock those rusty locked minds,
- 3:20Speaker 3: and those keys is a representation of enlightenment or knowledge
- 3:23Speaker 3: of self, so that those people could never be oppressed again.
- 3:26Speaker 3: So I kind of took on the monica of nineteen
- 3:28Speaker 3: keys as I go about enlightening people.
- 3:31Speaker 9: And you're doing such a great job at it, Fairy Cohn,
- 3:34Speaker 9: And you know, Malcolm X of the past, you're kind
- 3:38Speaker 9: of like that for us in the future, especially in
- 3:41Speaker 9: the hip hop culture, and how you have high level
- 3:44Speaker 9: conversations and you're bringing us in.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Was that by design? Did you always see yourself in
- 3:48Speaker 1: this space growing up?
- 3:50Speaker 8: You know?
- 3:50Speaker 3: I was always taught the right idea at the right time,
- 3:53Speaker 3: equal success, right like, right now, if you if you
- 3:58Speaker 3: can fix any problem, you got a good business mind.
- 4:00Speaker 8: Right.
- 4:01Speaker 3: We have a broken culture, right That culture doesn't have
- 4:04Speaker 3: any values and it's mostly ignorant and based on distraction.
- 4:09Speaker 3: So when you look at black media, oftentimes they think
- 4:12Speaker 3: that we don't care about high level subjects, right, like
- 4:14Speaker 3: we don't listen to consciousness or science or right things
- 4:18Speaker 3: of higher level of intelligence. But I think it's more
- 4:21Speaker 3: so just the people who are doing it.
- 4:22Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying.
- 4:23Speaker 3: You put somebody corny in front of you, you don't want
- 4:25Speaker 3: to listen to them, regardless of the value, right, And
- 4:27Speaker 3: we don't put enough production value in it as well.
- 4:30Speaker 3: So when we do things, we kind of do it
- 4:32Speaker 3: low level, but the consciousness or the knowledge be high,
- 4:34Speaker 3: but the quality be low. So you know, we come
- 4:37Speaker 3: with that innovative approach right like the way any past
- 4:41Speaker 3: revolutionary or leader or whoever it may have done it
- 4:45Speaker 3: in the past, that's not my approach. I'm going to
- 4:47Speaker 3: do it in a way where it looks like in
- 4:49Speaker 3: twenty twenty three. I'm gonna use the resources to technology,
- 4:52Speaker 3: the curture, the network, the collaboration, and any facet that
- 4:56Speaker 3: I can. And I have some unique creative abilities to
- 4:59Speaker 3: where we do the directing and designing. We have a
- 5:02Speaker 3: teams where we do the strategy, and I'll put up
- 5:04Speaker 3: my own money to get it done right. So I
- 5:06Speaker 3: believe that that's something that's truly never been done in
- 5:09Speaker 3: a way. And this is why you probably don't see
- 5:11Speaker 3: it because most of time people ain't gonna put up
- 5:12Speaker 3: their own money to deliver.
- 5:14Speaker 7: A message, especially when you distraction is really high.
- 5:17Speaker 5: And I think between social media and you know, just
- 5:23Speaker 5: kids trying to be a lot more grown, I think
- 5:26Speaker 5: what they are and they don't really have the experience
- 5:28Speaker 5: of life to try to be as grown as they are.
- 5:31Speaker 5: It almost seems as if they are pushing further away
- 5:35Speaker 5: from the word or what it means to be spiritual
- 5:38Speaker 5: and be a good person. I understand that you're using
- 5:41Speaker 5: the tools right with the verbage and getting them in.
- 5:45Speaker 5: Do you think that you're connecting because, like you said,
- 5:48Speaker 5: you're putting yourself in twenty twenty three terms, but that
- 5:51Speaker 5: could mean so many things, right, Like it's one thing
- 5:53Speaker 5: to use social media, but it's a person's decision to
- 5:57Speaker 5: listen to you. So what do you think it is about, well,
- 6:00Speaker 5: you that's actually drawing them in to hear you. Because
- 6:03Speaker 5: I think plenty of people can be in the room
- 6:05Speaker 5: on the platforms, but it still takes a certain level
- 6:09Speaker 5: of being for people to actually lock in.
- 6:12Speaker 8: That's a good question.
- 6:13Speaker 3: I think I just show up as myself, you know
- 6:15Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like, what you see is what you get, right,
- 6:18Speaker 3: you feel me? Like I think a lot of people
- 6:19Speaker 3: they try to put on a uniform and they try
- 6:22Speaker 3: to beat this representation, right, and people know when they're
- 6:25Speaker 3: being sold with something, right versus, this is just who
- 6:29Speaker 3: I am. So this is where I am when the
- 6:30Speaker 3: camera is off and the camera is on, right, and
- 6:33Speaker 3: I'm from the streets as well, so you know, you
- 6:35Speaker 3: can have some relatability. And the way I speak, the
- 6:38Speaker 3: way I move, you know what I mean sometimes in
- 6:40Speaker 3: the flighting side dress like we're gonna hit you on
- 6:42Speaker 3: all angles. And you know, I'm empathetic. I got six brothers,
- 6:46Speaker 3: I got two sisters, right, I grew up in the streets,
- 6:48Speaker 3: so I understand the different dynamics of consciousness that we're
- 6:51Speaker 3: dealing with. So I try to speak to people where
- 6:53Speaker 3: they at. I don't speak to them at my level, right,
- 6:56Speaker 3: because then people may not understand then that's just me
- 6:59Speaker 3: trying to sound smart.
- 7:00Speaker 8: Right.
- 7:00Speaker 3: But if I speak to you at your level, I'm
- 7:02Speaker 3: actually giving you value that you can use practically in
- 7:04Speaker 3: your life.
- 7:06Speaker 8: Right.
- 7:06Speaker 3: That's one of the chief things people always say, like, damn,
- 7:08Speaker 3: I've been thinking about that, but I ain't hear nobody
- 7:10Speaker 3: say it that way, right. And when I can do that,
- 7:13Speaker 3: I'm connecting the dots for you right, And sometimes it's
- 7:15Speaker 3: not even giving you new information, that's being a reminder
- 7:18Speaker 3: in your life of what you already know. What probably
- 7:19Speaker 3: don't practice right because we have an environment that is
- 7:23Speaker 3: not built around any of our positive core values, if
- 7:27Speaker 3: you will right. It's not built around like honor, respect,
- 7:30Speaker 3: loyal to your family, none of those particular type of things.
- 7:33Speaker 3: It's built on you know, bullshit, to be honest, you
- 7:37Speaker 3: feel me. So I just give people, I think a
- 7:39Speaker 3: lot of tough love. And then when we do high
- 7:42Speaker 3: level conversations, you know, I think about the different elements
- 7:46Speaker 3: that were interested in. But because we don't ever see
- 7:49Speaker 3: it right, we don't really get that opportunity to like
- 7:52Speaker 3: divest into it.
- 7:54Speaker 8: You feel me.
- 7:54Speaker 3: It's like we interested in science, we interested in I
- 7:57Speaker 3: don't know, aliens. We might be interested in collegy. But
- 8:01Speaker 3: it's like it's same thing with financial literacy, but historically
- 8:04Speaker 3: the people who brought it to us never spoke our language.
- 8:06Speaker 8: You believe in aliens, shit, we the aliens.
- 8:11Speaker 4: I do have a question though, and you said you
- 8:14Speaker 4: brought up something so profound to me. A lot of
- 8:17Speaker 4: us kind of come.
- 8:18Speaker 8: Up in that street culture.
- 8:20Speaker 4: How was it for you to mentally stay focused and
- 8:24Speaker 4: not get sucked in to the streets because you can
- 8:27Speaker 4: make a lot of easy money on that side.
- 8:29Speaker 3: Well, I mean I had a few cases growing up,
- 8:31Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I did get into the streets,
- 8:33Speaker 3: just you know, following my older brother, you know, and
- 8:36Speaker 3: growing up in Oakland and Saint Louis. We grew up
- 8:38Speaker 3: in you know, wild, dangerous neighborhoods. So you automatically get
- 8:41Speaker 3: influenced by your environment. Right on the blaged Mama say,
- 8:44Speaker 3: environment stronger than nature. So regardless of how good you are,
- 8:47Speaker 3: you get influenced by the things that's around you. So
- 8:50Speaker 3: you know, early on, y'all, so we are so drugs,
- 8:52Speaker 3: things of the nature. We did our little crimes. But
- 8:55Speaker 3: I always had a different consciousness. Was growing up as
- 8:58Speaker 3: a Muslim, was always telling me from wrong. So I
- 9:00Speaker 3: knew what I was doing right or wrong. And I
- 9:02Speaker 3: knew that wasn't a future oriented path, right. I knew
- 9:05Speaker 3: that that was just because I'm hustling and I'm in
- 9:07Speaker 3: this environment and I want things that currently I feel
- 9:11Speaker 3: like my circumstances won't allowed me to have. Right, My
- 9:14Speaker 3: mom's and pops ain't had no money like that, So
- 9:18Speaker 3: you know as a man, I'm gonna go out there
- 9:19Speaker 3: and get it on my own, and I ain't want
- 9:20Speaker 3: to work at job for a white man. So you know,
- 9:23Speaker 3: the streets dictated my actions, you know, point oh, I
- 9:27Speaker 3: had a lot of turning points, and I'm you know.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Was there something stificate?
- 9:32Speaker 3: I would say the most significant when I was nineteen
- 9:35Speaker 3: years old, which just happened to be you know, I
- 9:37Speaker 3: had a case, but I took that to trivel and
- 9:40Speaker 3: I beat that case. And during that motion, I just remember,
- 9:43Speaker 3: you know, when I got locked up, I was reading
- 9:45Speaker 3: this book and it was a story book and I
- 9:48Speaker 3: read it fully all the way through. And then when
- 9:51Speaker 3: I closed that book, I just realized, like man, that
- 9:53Speaker 3: shit got me nowhere closer to my freedom. And then
- 9:57Speaker 3: when I was extra diuicted from I think of Iowa
- 9:59Speaker 3: to Oakland. I remember my brother who was fighting the
- 10:02Speaker 3: same case, but he was behind bars. He gave me
- 10:05Speaker 3: a list of books to read, right, and these books
- 10:07Speaker 3: helped me strategize. These books helped me actually critical think
- 10:10Speaker 3: and understand the environment and this game that I was
- 10:13Speaker 3: dealing with right, which was fighting for my freedom. So
- 10:15Speaker 3: I used that knowledge. I remember even telling my lawyer
- 10:19Speaker 3: things and different emotions that he can foil to help
- 10:21Speaker 3: out the case, right, And he ended up doing that
- 10:24Speaker 3: and they actually worked, and he told me later on
- 10:26Speaker 3: that was the first case he had won. That's dope,
- 10:28Speaker 3: you know, but you had a public defender, yeah, for surely.
- 10:35Speaker 8: In your case.
- 10:36Speaker 3: Yeah, But I just that that just put a lot
- 10:38Speaker 3: of things in perspective, like you can't put your freedom
- 10:40Speaker 3: in nobody's hands, right, and you can't put your power
- 10:43Speaker 3: in nobody hands.
- 10:44Speaker 8: And I got to dictate my whole life.
- 10:45Speaker 3: So when that judge read that verdict of not guilty, man,
- 10:50Speaker 3: I just decided that I'm never going to end up
- 10:52Speaker 3: back in this court room.
- 10:53Speaker 4: And I know my ladies are going to chat in
- 10:55Speaker 4: I just really want you said another word that joked
- 10:58Speaker 4: at me, because again, I think young African American men
- 11:02Speaker 4: and African American men lack critical thinking. That's something that
- 11:08Speaker 4: is absent in our community and the world. I really
- 11:12Speaker 4: wanted you to kind of expound on your critical thinking.
- 11:15Speaker 4: Was it a book that brought that to realization for you?
- 11:19Speaker 8: Or I mean, I would say, because critical thing is
- 11:22Speaker 8: like working out for us, Yeah, we need.
- 11:23Speaker 3: The book helped me advance it, But that's not where
- 11:26Speaker 3: it started. I think it started being a Muslim, you
- 11:29Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like you critical think about the world.
- 11:31Speaker 3: We was taught to white men the devil, black man, God.
- 11:33Speaker 3: You don't get more critical of the world than that, right,
- 11:36Speaker 3: So it starts a foundation. If you looking at the
- 11:38Speaker 3: government a certain way, you looking at everything a certain way,
- 11:41Speaker 3: You look at Christianity a certain way. We look at
- 11:43Speaker 3: the way people eat, the way people talk, the way
- 11:45Speaker 3: curture moves. Everything you assessed from a critical eye and perspective, right.
- 11:50Speaker 3: And so even when I was a child, I always
- 11:52Speaker 3: did that. We rolled with the game, but always looked
- 11:54Speaker 3: at them like y'all victims of white supremacy, right by
- 11:57Speaker 3: your name, by your religion practice. So everything was always
- 12:01Speaker 3: a critical examination. But then it gave me specific critical
- 12:06Speaker 3: examination of the system, right understanding, Like when we went
- 12:10Speaker 3: in there, and I mean I was reading like Dialogue
- 12:12Speaker 3: of Socrates and the other one was like Art of Deception,
- 12:14Speaker 3: and a lot of one's given a breakdown on how
- 12:17Speaker 3: the language and the system was first created, right like
- 12:21Speaker 3: courtroom is all about it's a game. It ain't about justices,
- 12:24Speaker 3: about who can win, right, and it's a very deceptive
- 12:27Speaker 3: use of language in that game. Right, So when you
- 12:30Speaker 3: learn to like hear certain language, I always say every
- 12:33Speaker 3: level of consciousness comes with a new language. So I
- 12:35Speaker 3: wanted to be aware of the game that was being
- 12:38Speaker 3: played around me because I might not have interpreted and
- 12:40Speaker 3: understood it correctly.
- 12:42Speaker 8: Right.
- 12:42Speaker 3: So critical thinking can go in many different phases. And
- 12:46Speaker 3: I'll say it's the world, not just Black America. The
- 12:49Speaker 3: world is lacking just higher intelligence, period right, Like people
- 12:54Speaker 3: are Like you can tell how smart people are about
- 12:56Speaker 3: what they're entertained by, right, And if we look on
- 12:59Speaker 3: a con them basically entertained by the most ignorant I mean,
- 13:02Speaker 3: the most lowest level, dumbest things on.
- 13:04Speaker 8: The planet earth.
- 13:06Speaker 3: Right, it could be a meme and it just crack
- 13:08Speaker 3: you up, you know what I'm saying, Like, that's a
- 13:09Speaker 3: representation of your own intelligence. Right, And so when I
- 13:13Speaker 3: think about the world today, it's definitely not just black people.
- 13:16Speaker 3: It's across the spectrum in the whole world. Not critical thinking.
- 13:19Speaker 3: And when they do critical thinking, they don't do anything
- 13:22Speaker 3: about what they find out, you know what I'm saying.
- 13:24Speaker 3: We can find out that the government wants to do
- 13:26Speaker 3: some crazy experiment on it, on this, and then we
- 13:29Speaker 3: a trip maybe for one day, and go back to
- 13:30Speaker 3: our business the next. Right, So it's not just critical thinking,
- 13:34Speaker 3: it's actually responding and executing and being strategic off the
- 13:38Speaker 3: things that you learned about as well, because we don't
- 13:41Speaker 3: just want a bunch of people that you know the
- 13:44Speaker 3: problem but know nothing about it.
- 13:45Speaker 9: With all that, all the lessons, can you bring us
- 13:48Speaker 9: to high level conversations? And what you know led you
- 13:52Speaker 9: to brand all of unit, your teachings and your lessons
- 13:56Speaker 9: to give us high level conversations today.
- 13:59Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 14:00Speaker 3: I remember when I first was again started, I did
- 14:04Speaker 3: a show with my brother Rich from Black Magic. He
- 14:07Speaker 3: has a YouTube channel, right, He's big in the conscious community,
- 14:10Speaker 3: probably like the biggest conscious channel, if you will.
- 14:12Speaker 8: Right.
- 14:13Speaker 3: He interviews everybody that has something of value to say
- 14:16Speaker 3: and some sort of knowledge to split. And I remember
- 14:20Speaker 3: just thinking about the state of the country community at
- 14:22Speaker 3: that time. Right, Because I'm from Oakland, we didn't really
- 14:24Speaker 3: grow up in like the New York debate game. We
- 14:27Speaker 3: ain't really do that, you know. I seen black men
- 14:29Speaker 3: with powering money, you know what I'm saying, growing up,
- 14:31Speaker 3: So that was always my aspiration of thought, like if
- 14:35Speaker 3: success looks like having powering money, and didn't look like
- 14:38Speaker 3: just sounded smart.
- 14:39Speaker 8: Right.
- 14:40Speaker 3: So you know, I remember I made a controversial statement
- 14:44Speaker 3: that the conscious community is dead. And what I meant
- 14:47Speaker 3: by that is at the time, I was forming a
- 14:48Speaker 3: group with some brothers and we was traveling around teaching
- 14:51Speaker 3: about solutions. Right, we was teaching about you know, and
- 14:54Speaker 3: showcasing what that solution looked like in real time through collaboration.
- 14:58Speaker 3: And I told him is dead in the sense not physically,
- 15:01Speaker 3: but just in the sense that the evolution is solutions, right,
- 15:05Speaker 3: that we have to be the things that we want
- 15:07Speaker 3: to see and not just talk about them.
- 15:09Speaker 8: Right.
- 15:09Speaker 3: So fast forward, when I thought about it too, I
- 15:13Speaker 3: used to see all these smart, brilliant brothers and I'll
- 15:15Speaker 3: be like, how y'all got all their intelligence, but we
- 15:17Speaker 3: don't build nothing, right. How do we complain about black
- 15:21Speaker 3: media and complain about lack of representation, but we don't
- 15:24Speaker 3: put our money. Our mind is and then we put
- 15:26Speaker 3: that together, right, So the opportunity to create high level
- 15:29Speaker 3: conversations was just examining the opportunity of the now. Saying
- 15:33Speaker 3: that we can control media right in media is one
- 15:36Speaker 3: of those tenets of nation building because you control the
- 15:38Speaker 3: message that people receive right, and if you can do
- 15:41Speaker 3: it on the mass scale, then you can actually have
- 15:43Speaker 3: influence on global politics, you can have influence on the culture.
- 15:48Speaker 8: Right.
- 15:48Speaker 3: So when you talk about high level conversations, you know,
- 15:53Speaker 3: I had a conversation with Earn your leisure my brothers
- 15:56Speaker 3: were shot and Troy really like a couple of blocks
- 15:58Speaker 3: away from here when we first started the idea of
- 16:00Speaker 3: putting together you know, high level conversations and what that
- 16:04Speaker 3: collaboration could look like, right, because I'm very deep in
- 16:08Speaker 3: when it comes to collaborating with people, because that's how
- 16:11Speaker 3: you showcase the unity instead of talk about it, right.
- 16:14Speaker 3: And I remember talking with a Mechi, who's my show producer.
- 16:18Speaker 3: You know, it was like, if we're gonna do a show,
- 16:20Speaker 3: it has to be high level. The production has to
- 16:23Speaker 3: be high level, because last thing I would want to
- 16:25Speaker 3: watch is somebody talking about consciousness but it's looked bootlet
- 16:29Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like, I need to be
- 16:31Speaker 3: able to take some of your Netflix time, right, and
- 16:34Speaker 3: the only way I can do that is if the
- 16:36Speaker 3: quality is on part right. So that's why we created
- 16:40Speaker 3: a show rather than the podcast, because we wanted to
- 16:43Speaker 3: make sure that it was entertaining in the sense that
- 16:46Speaker 3: you can watch it. So some people watching two three
- 16:48Speaker 3: hour video and they like, I don't know how do
- 16:50Speaker 3: I get through your videos? But it continues to draw
- 16:53Speaker 3: me in. And so when you know you respect the viewer, right,
- 16:58Speaker 3: you're gonna put it in that quality. They respect the quality,
- 17:01Speaker 3: so they respect the show. And then we say, okay,
- 17:03Speaker 3: let's let's we started off talking about like wealth, right,
- 17:06Speaker 3: because I wanted to start it off on a practical basis.
- 17:09Speaker 3: Then we start talking about masculinity. Then we start talking
- 17:12Speaker 3: about science and physics and philosophy and psychology and all
- 17:16Speaker 3: of these different areas. And I wanted to prove to
- 17:18Speaker 3: the world, like especially these black networks that claim to
- 17:21Speaker 3: be the voice of Black America.
- 17:24Speaker 8: Not a lot of networks.
- 17:26Speaker 3: Nah, you know what I'm saying. They claim it, but
- 17:28Speaker 3: I ain't seen nobody do it. You feel me effectively,
- 17:32Speaker 3: And the excuse is nobody watches it. Nah, that ain't true, right,
- 17:36Speaker 3: I know, the reality of it is is that white
- 17:38Speaker 3: corporations ain't gonna give you ad dollars to give black
- 17:41Speaker 3: people nothing high level, you know what I'm saying. So
- 17:44Speaker 3: you know, I study you know, marketing, and I study production.
- 17:48Speaker 3: I study how to put these things together, and I
- 17:50Speaker 3: got to give a lot of talent to the team
- 17:52Speaker 3: because you know, took the vision and executed it in
- 17:55Speaker 3: a manner where people were shocked, like damn, I wasn't
- 17:58Speaker 3: expecting that this is actually hell a good good And
- 18:00Speaker 3: then you think about somebody like Tyrek Nashi where he
- 18:03Speaker 3: had to hit in colors, right, that was such a
- 18:06Speaker 3: good documentary. You always learn something new and it always
- 18:10Speaker 3: kept you engaged where you wanted to learn more, then
- 18:13Speaker 3: you wanted to share that information with somebody else. So
- 18:16Speaker 3: a lot of people are getting the whole shock of consciousness.
- 18:19Speaker 3: Things that they never knew existed, right, or thoughts said they.
- 18:22Speaker 8: Thought about are now being validated. Right.
- 18:24Speaker 3: And this is given space for a high level culture
- 18:27Speaker 3: to be brought about because it's ain't that Wait a minute,
- 18:30Speaker 3: not only you know it's somebody doing it, but they're
- 18:33Speaker 3: doing it successful. So now there's going to be a
- 18:35Speaker 3: way of new creators and new talent that come about
- 18:38Speaker 3: and say that if keys could do it, then I
- 18:40Speaker 3: can do it. So the goal is to be able
- 18:43Speaker 3: to create that influence so that we see a trickle effect.
- 18:46Speaker 5: While we know the message is the most important people
- 18:48Speaker 5: are attracted to production like that. That's why content is
- 18:53Speaker 5: so crazy now. So I think it's a great point
- 18:55Speaker 5: for you to say, you know what you got to
- 18:57Speaker 5: make the people want to come. If the message it
- 18:58Speaker 5: enough of somebody, let's drop I'm in with the production
- 19:02Speaker 5: and you know, hopefully they get the message.
- 19:04Speaker 3: Well, you know, my my things is we take we
- 19:07Speaker 3: take the things that are the best and most valuable
- 19:10Speaker 3: for us. For granted, we take them as luxuries. So
- 19:13Speaker 3: I'm gonna package it as a luxury. I'm gonna make
- 19:15Speaker 3: it aspirational that you feel me the sheet.
- 19:19Speaker 9: I think every kid you know that should be in
- 19:21Speaker 9: the curriculum of hitting colors because that.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Is I got, I own all of the DVDs. But
- 19:27Speaker 1: so we go on to Paradigm keys.
- 19:30Speaker 3: Now, basically, I wanted to give a starting point for
- 19:33Speaker 3: like frequently asked questions, because people always ask, where do
- 19:36Speaker 3: I start? How do I start reprogramming myself? How do
- 19:39Speaker 3: I start critical thinking right? How do I start eating better?
- 19:42Speaker 3: What is a routine? So it's a very quick read,
- 19:45Speaker 3: practical guy for somebody to get started and start thinking
- 19:47Speaker 3: differently right, And you know that's probably gonna be the
- 19:50Speaker 3: shortest book I ever put out, but I wanted, you
- 19:53Speaker 3: know that to be a foundation. And my next book
- 19:56Speaker 3: is actually gonna call Self Wars. So it's about, you know,
- 19:59Speaker 3: the daily battles that we face mentally and spiritually right
- 20:02Speaker 3: and giving people strategies that they can actually utilize right
- 20:05Speaker 3: daily to win life.
- 20:07Speaker 9: Speaking of the strategies, can you give us a good
- 20:11Speaker 9: like top five of.
- 20:12Speaker 1: Things that we can change?
- 20:13Speaker 3: I would say focus on number one. Focusing on habits
- 20:16Speaker 3: is key, right, because most people start with goals, right.
- 20:19Speaker 3: So you know, if you have the always say this
- 20:23Speaker 3: one and people don't like it sometime, but you know,
- 20:25Speaker 3: you cannot have slim habits or you can't have slim
- 20:29Speaker 3: goals with fat habits, right, And so it's.
- 20:32Speaker 8: The same thing as you can't have.
- 20:35Speaker 3: Rich goals will broke habits right, And a lot of
- 20:38Speaker 3: people have these rich goals. I want to be a millionaire,
- 20:41Speaker 3: I want to do this, but you have the habits
- 20:43Speaker 3: of somebody is going to be poor, right, And so
- 20:46Speaker 3: if I'm examining somebody's life and I want to be
- 20:48Speaker 3: like them to take on their discipline, I'm gonna take
- 20:50Speaker 3: on your habits so I can get your results, right,
- 20:53Speaker 3: not your goals. Right, So two people at the same
- 20:56Speaker 3: level with the same goals, only the person with the habits.
- 20:58Speaker 8: To meet that goal would get those reasonsults.
- 21:00Speaker 3: So Number one, I would tell people to change that
- 21:04Speaker 3: attitude and that thought process towards reaching goals and focus
- 21:08Speaker 3: on creating consistent habits, which requires you to focus on
- 21:12Speaker 3: the process and not the results.
- 21:14Speaker 8: Right.
- 21:14Speaker 3: We have a very process oriented social media reality where
- 21:19Speaker 3: you see somebody on their ten thousand day of success
- 21:22Speaker 3: and you want their results, but you don't want to
- 21:24Speaker 3: go through their ten thousand days to get there, right.
- 21:27Speaker 3: So therefore is disillusional, right, because you want things you
- 21:31Speaker 3: would never be the person to actually receive, right. And
- 21:34Speaker 3: so that to me is a number one focus. Another
- 21:38Speaker 3: thing is just you know, lately, I've been doing a
- 21:42Speaker 3: lot of like shadow work, right, like re examining you know,
- 21:45Speaker 3: who I am and how I became who I am? Right,
- 21:48Speaker 3: And when I start to think about that, is that
- 21:51Speaker 3: who you are today and the decisions that you make,
- 21:54Speaker 3: you know, and why sometimes we can make decisions against
- 21:57Speaker 3: ourselves because those are preconditions. That's how we was conditioned
- 22:01Speaker 3: as children, and it's how that we was programmed.
- 22:03Speaker 8: Right.
- 22:04Speaker 3: But you can be trying to discipline yourself now because
- 22:07Speaker 3: you have a new thought on who you want to be,
- 22:09Speaker 3: but your patterns and your habits won't let you break that, right.
- 22:12Speaker 3: And so one of the things to be able to
- 22:14Speaker 3: focus on is fasting, right, like creating detox in your life.
- 22:19Speaker 3: And then when you detox from one thing, then you
- 22:21Speaker 3: have to replace it with something else that is better,
- 22:24Speaker 3: because our body and our life don't like get balanced, right,
- 22:27Speaker 3: because then we're going to crave that thing that we
- 22:29Speaker 3: just lost, right, So instead you have to replace that
- 22:31Speaker 3: with some sort of other social rhythm. So most people
- 22:34Speaker 3: should focus on eating better.
- 22:36Speaker 8: Right. We every like it's the thing. It's like fifty
- 22:39Speaker 8: to sixty percent.
- 22:40Speaker 3: Of America's obese, right, And that's why people have to
- 22:44Speaker 3: start coming up with terms like, you know, fast shaming
- 22:47Speaker 3: and body shaming, right, when really is that was never
- 22:52Speaker 3: a term in any other point in history. If somebody
- 22:54Speaker 3: was obese and they was doing something that was unhealthy,
- 22:57Speaker 3: a person diagnosed that and told them the correct way
- 23:00Speaker 3: go about making themselves better.
- 23:02Speaker 8: Right.
- 23:02Speaker 3: And it's not so much of it you feeling shame
- 23:04Speaker 3: because you feel like you're a bad person when you
- 23:06Speaker 3: feel shamed. But you are guilty, right, You're guilty of
- 23:09Speaker 3: your decisions, and you're guilty of.
- 23:10Speaker 8: That reality is accountability. Yeah, like for a.
- 23:13Speaker 3: Doctor to point it out or anybody to point it out,
- 23:15Speaker 3: it's not a bad thing. So I focus on fasting
- 23:17Speaker 3: number one and that just allows you to gain your power.
- 23:22Speaker 8: It depends.
- 23:22Speaker 3: Right now, I just got a Ramadan from fast and
- 23:25Speaker 3: so I feel like I lost a lot of my gangs,
- 23:28Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I got a little more cut.
- 23:29Speaker 3: But I want to get back to my Bradley status.
- 23:31Speaker 3: So I'm actually gonna be eating probably a few times
- 23:34Speaker 3: a day. But my recommendation for people who don't work
- 23:37Speaker 3: out and they not burning that to eat one time
- 23:39Speaker 3: a day.
- 23:40Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Do you work out?
- 23:42Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 23:42Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah?
- 23:43Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 23:43Speaker 1: What do you eat?
- 23:44Speaker 8: I mean I eat food? You want me saying, right?
- 23:49Speaker 8: Healthy your health?
- 23:50Speaker 1: Yeah yeah?
- 23:51Speaker 8: So what food should we not eat? What foods should
- 23:54Speaker 8: black people stop eating?
- 23:56Speaker 3: Well, you know, the most number one notorious enemy of
- 23:58Speaker 3: black people is poor.
- 24:01Speaker 4: I just told my cousin today, I said he was
- 24:03Speaker 4: talking about his blood pressure was high.
- 24:05Speaker 8: I said, man, you gotta stop eating that pork.
- 24:07Speaker 1: Man.
- 24:07Speaker 8: I don't really trust people eat pork.
- 24:10Speaker 3: It's like it's like I don't trust people who still
- 24:12Speaker 3: smoke cigarettes and eat McDonald's, you know what I mean,
- 24:16Speaker 3: Because it's like, well, it's such an obvious thing that's
- 24:19Speaker 3: bad for you. And if you can't make a decision
- 24:22Speaker 3: to change this, how can I trust your other decision
- 24:24Speaker 3: making skills?
- 24:28Speaker 1: Keep a plant, you know?
- 24:31Speaker 3: I mean, you got to think about how while we
- 24:35Speaker 3: start eating bacon in the first place.
- 24:36Speaker 8: Right.
- 24:37Speaker 3: Edward Burnet was a psychologist and he ran propaganda schemes
- 24:41Speaker 3: for corporations. So what they wanted to do was the
- 24:45Speaker 3: increase the sale of pork and bacon. So he created
- 24:49Speaker 3: propaganda that connected it to a hearty, good breakfast. So
- 24:52Speaker 3: he actually had people thinking that it was healthy. Right,
- 24:55Speaker 3: So people eat bacon today a part of their ritual
- 24:58Speaker 3: because of capitalism. Right, And so all these people have
- 25:01Speaker 3: died of diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, things of
- 25:06Speaker 3: that nature because somebody a psychologists decided to hack the
- 25:10Speaker 3: mind of people and manipulate them into buying a product.
- 25:13Speaker 3: Same thing with cigarettes, and there was a time where
- 25:17Speaker 3: women didn't smoke cigarettes at all. They looked at it
- 25:19Speaker 3: as a man thing. And so he came up with
- 25:22Speaker 3: a scheme to connect it to a rebellion like a protest.
- 25:27Speaker 3: He had all the women pull out their cigarettes during
- 25:30Speaker 3: this protests and start smoking, and it was seen as
- 25:32Speaker 3: a protest of man's power, a torchlight of freedom as
- 25:35Speaker 3: they called it, right. And so after that they was
- 25:39Speaker 3: able to create a completely new market base of women's
- 25:42Speaker 3: smokers because they started smoking it and thinking that they
- 25:44Speaker 3: were being more free, right, And so a lot of
- 25:46Speaker 3: things that we do today we think it's freedom, we
- 25:49Speaker 3: think it's progress, not realizing this is somebody's pr scheme
- 25:52Speaker 3: to sell a product, mark like getting married.
- 25:54Speaker 1: So they sold the ring, you know, to make them want.
- 25:58Speaker 3: To buy rings. And really, you know now that it
- 26:00Speaker 3: got the lab grown diamonds as big right now, which
- 26:03Speaker 3: you can't ask the dimond tests. Yeah, it passes the
- 26:06Speaker 3: diamond tests. The people can't even they can't tell the difference,
- 26:09Speaker 3: you know what I mean, because it's still a diamond.
- 26:11Speaker 8: It's just grown in a lab.
- 26:12Speaker 3: You feel me, like a lot of the things that
- 26:14Speaker 3: we were sold, we just don't realize it and we
- 26:16Speaker 3: don't want to, you know, we connect so much of
- 26:20Speaker 3: who we are into products. So, like the switch was,
- 26:23Speaker 3: how do you get people to start focusing on things
- 26:26Speaker 3: that they desire versus things that they need. Right, and
- 26:29Speaker 3: so now we have a society that's completely based on
- 26:32Speaker 3: desires and not needs. So people are gonna have all
- 26:35Speaker 3: these things they desire, none of the things that they need.
- 26:37Speaker 7: It's the gold for you though.
- 26:39Speaker 8: Oh for surely we're doing the gold.
- 26:41Speaker 1: See that.
- 26:41Speaker 8: Listen.
- 26:42Speaker 3: We in some hectic times when it comes to currency
- 26:45Speaker 3: and things of that nature. And my suggestion is that
- 26:47Speaker 3: everybody should buy gold and silver. Yeah, I would say
- 26:51Speaker 3: take at least twenty to forty percent or whatever you
- 26:53Speaker 3: work for your income, put it in gold and silver,
- 26:56Speaker 3: as well as other diversified you know areas.
- 26:59Speaker 8: But definitely by We'll be right back.
- 27:02Speaker 2: Stay tuned with more of the Baller Alert Show. You're
- 27:08Speaker 2: listening to a special edition of The Baller Alert Show.
- 27:11Speaker 3: He's found me as nineteen keys. You tuned into the
- 27:14Speaker 3: Barlow Alert Show.
- 27:15Speaker 1: You have a lot of women fans, and I'm sure
- 27:18Speaker 1: you know that. Are you married?
- 27:22Speaker 8: I'm not married. Are you the relationship? It's complicated?
- 27:30Speaker 1: What does that mean?
- 27:31Speaker 8: I'd rather not do having to it.
- 27:34Speaker 1: But you do have a lot of women fans.
- 27:37Speaker 8: Yeah, I imagine I think maybe.
- 27:41Speaker 5: Women well some of the women probably were drawn in
- 27:44Speaker 5: to you, just you know, physically.
- 27:46Speaker 7: So I worked with Tennessee.
- 27:47Speaker 5: I was out there in Utah and one of my
- 27:51Speaker 5: girlfriends calls me and I was like.
- 27:53Speaker 7: Your boo is here, and she was like, who's my poof?
- 27:55Speaker 7: It's like nineteen keys is that our events?
- 27:58Speaker 1: She was like, get that?
- 28:00Speaker 5: I want to say literally, so I could not even
- 28:03Speaker 5: tell her that we were interviewing you today because she
- 28:06Speaker 5: would probably pull up acting a fool.
- 28:09Speaker 7: But your female audience is really strong.
- 28:12Speaker 5: So what I want to know is meeting these females
- 28:16Speaker 5: out in public, are they trying to have real high
- 28:19Speaker 5: level conversations or are they just try to see someone else?
- 28:25Speaker 3: I imagine there's a mix of both. You know what
- 28:27Speaker 3: I'm saying, Like, I'm from Oakland, you know what I'm saying.
- 28:30Speaker 3: I'm a man, I got six brothers. You know what
- 28:32Speaker 3: I'm saying. We you know, we gameed that we gained tight.
- 28:34Speaker 8: You know.
- 28:35Speaker 3: So, like social media, any impression that I get now
- 28:39Speaker 3: is nothing new for me, to be honest, you feel
- 28:41Speaker 3: me Like, I think there's a lot of people who
- 28:44Speaker 3: when they start to get a platform and profile and
- 28:47Speaker 3: they get attention to women, that's new for them.
- 28:49Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying for me, you know, to
- 28:51Speaker 8: be honest, it's been my whole life.
- 28:53Speaker 3: You feel me like, always been who I am, always
- 28:56Speaker 3: been confident, right, I'm very self aware. So yeah, it
- 29:00Speaker 3: ain't nothing new, man, You feel me? Yeah, tours tours season,
- 29:04Speaker 3: you feel me?
- 29:05Speaker 8: Is what it is.
- 29:06Speaker 3: But you know, I know I'm of the other zero
- 29:08Speaker 3: point zero zero zero zero zero one percent. And what man,
- 29:13Speaker 3: when it's plenty.
- 29:15Speaker 7: Like what?
- 29:16Speaker 5: Yeah, have you met a woman that you just knew
- 29:20Speaker 5: was not being genuine like she's trying to have.
- 29:24Speaker 3: I mean, I mean people that's not genuine all the time.
- 29:27Speaker 3: I think people always try to show up as a
- 29:29Speaker 3: version they think I want to see it. Yeah, you
- 29:31Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, And I'm just a real person.
- 29:32Speaker 3: So I'm just gonna look at you like I already
- 29:34Speaker 3: know what you're doing. You feel me, But I think
- 29:37Speaker 3: that's natural, and I think it's actually a good thing
- 29:39Speaker 3: because I think, you know, part of it is kind
- 29:42Speaker 3: of like raising the standards, you know what I'm saying,
- 29:45Speaker 3: Like it's a lot of like there's a lot of
- 29:48Speaker 3: men who follow me as well, right, they really tap
- 29:50Speaker 3: in because you know, I stand on when I stand
- 29:52Speaker 3: on and I don't really lets society push me around
- 29:55Speaker 3: in a sense of repairsing my masculinity. You know what
- 29:58Speaker 3: I'm saying, I don't really care what you're thinking, care
- 30:00Speaker 3: about the new constructs or agendas whatsoever. And a lot
- 30:04Speaker 3: of men nowadays don't want to stand on that because
- 30:07Speaker 3: even though they may agree, they're afraid to say. They say,
- 30:10Speaker 3: you know, who got the most power that people gotta
- 30:12Speaker 3: whisper about, right, So shit, I rather have people whispering
- 30:15Speaker 3: about me. It's a representation I got some power. But
- 30:18Speaker 3: black men don't be taking space no more. Black men
- 30:21Speaker 3: don't be wilful. And I ain't saying all of us,
- 30:23Speaker 3: but I'm just saying the common consensus amongst men these days.
- 30:27Speaker 3: So to be one who does stand on what I
- 30:30Speaker 3: stand on based on who I am, I think that's
- 30:32Speaker 3: a good aspirational thing versus them just liking an entertainer
- 30:36Speaker 3: of things of that nature because there's only one of me, right,
- 30:39Speaker 3: But if you find those same qualities of men who
- 30:41Speaker 3: stand up that's masculine, you feel me and the man
- 30:44Speaker 3: that you with, then I think that those are better
- 30:46Speaker 3: characteristics to examine and be attracted to.
- 30:49Speaker 5: It seems like what's on the table right now is
- 30:51Speaker 5: what does masculinity mean?
- 30:53Speaker 7: What does being a woman mean?
- 30:54Speaker 5: There's so much of these conversations going on right now.
- 30:59Speaker 7: Do you think I think we.
- 31:00Speaker 8: Know what it means?
- 31:01Speaker 3: We just allowing people to redefine it, you know what
- 31:03Speaker 3: I'm saying. And I don't think that they had a
- 31:05Speaker 3: power to redefine it like it ain't nothing to question.
- 31:08Speaker 3: I think we got to stop questioning and making that
- 31:10Speaker 3: like a real reality. The people who question it, let
- 31:12Speaker 3: them question themselves, right, But I don't think that that's
- 31:15Speaker 3: a question for the broader society who already got it.
- 31:17Speaker 8: Figure it out.
- 31:18Speaker 1: Do you look for a Muslim woman?
- 31:20Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 31:21Speaker 3: Absolutely, Well, Muslim means one who submits his or her
- 31:24Speaker 3: will to do the will of God. Right, so by definition,
- 31:27Speaker 3: most people will consider themselves to be a Muslim. Right now,
- 31:31Speaker 3: I was just having this conversation with the good brother
- 31:33Speaker 3: Steven speaks, actually be doing a high level conversation on
- 31:35Speaker 3: relationships and we break all this stuff down. Is one
- 31:39Speaker 3: hundred percent I think Brother Nourry said. He say, beyond
- 31:43Speaker 3: making the decision right to believe or follow God, the
- 31:47Speaker 3: next best decision is the person you gonna be with
- 31:49Speaker 3: for the rest of your life right, which is extremely important.
- 31:52Speaker 3: So having a spiritual foundation in alignment with the person
- 31:56Speaker 3: that you're with is completely in one hundred percent necessary.
- 32:00Speaker 8: Right.
- 32:00Speaker 3: The brother used a term yesterday. He was talking about
- 32:02Speaker 3: how most people are spiritually passive. Right, So when you
- 32:06Speaker 3: have people that are spiritually passive, you know, most people
- 32:09Speaker 3: are not that ingrained in their beliefs, you know what
- 32:11Speaker 3: I'm saying, Most people that believe that they're Christians or
- 32:14Speaker 3: Jehovah witnesses, like they're not practicing it to the t
- 32:18Speaker 3: where you know, they're not willing to learn something new.
- 32:21Speaker 8: Right.
- 32:22Speaker 3: I think I was always taught that Islam is not
- 32:24Speaker 3: a religion, it's a way of life.
- 32:26Speaker 8: Right.
- 32:26Speaker 3: I was taught that Prophet Muhammad, Peace to be upon him,
- 32:28Speaker 3: was taught the original way that African people were living, right,
- 32:32Speaker 3: and then he taught that to his people to civilize
- 32:34Speaker 3: them because they was being savage.
- 32:36Speaker 8: So it underbeliged.
- 32:37Speaker 3: Mohammed said, he gave it Islam to black people in
- 32:39Speaker 3: America right as a way to recondition them back into
- 32:43Speaker 3: the original state of being, because we were giving another new religion,
- 32:48Speaker 3: a new language, right, a new set of rules, new foundation,
- 32:51Speaker 3: new names, new way of doing marriage and life. We
- 32:55Speaker 3: don't take on none of those ancestral tenets and or practices.
- 32:58Speaker 3: You feel me, So I choose to answer it in
- 33:02Speaker 3: that way because I believe that most black people, especially
- 33:05Speaker 3: black men as well, actually don't mind being Muslims. It's
- 33:09Speaker 3: the connotation connected to it that their parents may have
- 33:12Speaker 3: told them, a society that told them. But when you
- 33:14Speaker 3: think about it, right, most black people are actually conservative right,
- 33:18Speaker 3: and they viewpoints and traditional in their viewpoints and are
- 33:21Speaker 3: in complete alignment with you know, the tenants and agreements
- 33:25Speaker 3: of Islam.
- 33:26Speaker 5: It definitely seems as if you know, religion is taught
- 33:28Speaker 5: like when you're born, you're born into whatever your family is.
- 33:32Speaker 5: You kind of don't have an opportunity at a young
- 33:34Speaker 5: age to explore what the different religious beliefs are and
- 33:38Speaker 5: choose what works.
- 33:39Speaker 3: So you talk out to question things too. My household
- 33:42Speaker 3: is different. We taught to question everything. I think my
- 33:44Speaker 3: mom's got tired of them questions. But I had to
- 33:47Speaker 3: figure it out, you know. And I've examined all religions,
- 33:51Speaker 3: I've studied all different ways of life, I study all
- 33:53Speaker 3: different sciences and background, and I haven't examined nothing in
- 33:57Speaker 3: the foundation from the teachers I Oblija Muhammad that I
- 34:00Speaker 3: thought was erraneo as to where I need to change.
- 34:02Speaker 1: What are your views on marriage?
- 34:03Speaker 3: I think marriage is cool. I think what's important though,
- 34:07Speaker 3: beyond just marriage is alignment and the agreement that you
- 34:10Speaker 3: have with the person that you're with. I think traditions,
- 34:14Speaker 3: you know, and just traditionalism can be dangerous to follow
- 34:18Speaker 3: a path just because without actually examining your real reasons.
- 34:22Speaker 3: Why right, So on the outside, you can look successful
- 34:24Speaker 3: because you're in marriage, but you ain't happy. And I
- 34:27Speaker 3: don't think that, you know, allow God will want people
- 34:30Speaker 3: to be in unhappy circumstances to please society because that's
- 34:32Speaker 3: pleasing man, understand me. And so when I look at marriage, right,
- 34:38Speaker 3: marriage is a legal binding between two people. It's a
- 34:41Speaker 3: contract to create a partnership to do business together. Right
- 34:44Speaker 3: In that business, people choose those partners because they love
- 34:48Speaker 3: that partner that they want to do business with for
- 34:49Speaker 3: the rest of their life. So if I'm choosing somebody,
- 34:53Speaker 3: it's somebody that I'm in alignment with an agreement when
- 34:55Speaker 3: and we're building something together. Right, And me, as a
- 34:58Speaker 3: very masculine man, right, I have to have a very
- 35:01Speaker 3: feminine woman, Right, she has to be in that flow
- 35:05Speaker 3: and she has to be somebody that can help provide peace.
- 35:08Speaker 3: You feel me like, you know, I know there's a
- 35:11Speaker 3: new age of super progressiveness and all things of that nature, right,
- 35:14Speaker 3: But those things are not attractive to me, right, I'm
- 35:17Speaker 3: still attracted to the traditional qualities of what a woman is,
- 35:21Speaker 3: you know, So that's what I look for.
- 35:22Speaker 5: Like what like? Yeah, what's the difference between the traditional
- 35:25Speaker 5: qualities and the new age?
- 35:26Speaker 3: Well, I think the new age is about what a
- 35:28Speaker 3: woman has. Traditional is about who she is. Right, So
- 35:31Speaker 3: women start to examine themselves based on their accomplishments and
- 35:34Speaker 3: their ambitions, right, similar to the way men have always
- 35:37Speaker 3: examined themselves. But men have never been attracted to women
- 35:41Speaker 3: based on their accomplishments. It was based on your qualities, right.
- 35:45Speaker 3: So your softness, your tendness, your bilio intuition, right yo
- 35:49Speaker 3: yo yo yo, your feminine actions, right yo. How we
- 35:52Speaker 3: speak to each other, how we build with each other.
- 35:54Speaker 3: That ability to be able to create peace in a
- 35:56Speaker 3: home and to be able to build with me. You
- 35:58Speaker 3: feeling like you my partner, my confidant. You know what
- 36:01Speaker 3: I'm saying. You see things that I don't see you
- 36:03Speaker 3: in my second brain.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Would you ever get married?
- 36:05Speaker 5: Yeah, for surely, like legally or would it just be
- 36:09Speaker 5: an experiment between.
- 36:11Speaker 3: I think I had to think about it, right because
- 36:15Speaker 3: I just examined the benefits of legally or like setting
- 36:18Speaker 3: up a trust or things of that nature. I think
- 36:20Speaker 3: it's really the same thing. Like marriage is like a
- 36:23Speaker 3: very metaphysical bond, you know what I'm saying, Like you
- 36:26Speaker 3: sign that paper and like you now are metaphysically connected
- 36:30Speaker 3: with this like ritual that you all have done. It's
- 36:32Speaker 3: a whole ritual in process. So but I also believe
- 36:35Speaker 3: you can create your own rituals and process. Like we're
- 36:37Speaker 3: not jumping off of brooms and ship, but you know
- 36:39Speaker 3: we're gonna figure out something that works.
- 36:42Speaker 8: No, no, no kids. I got a lot of nieces
- 36:45Speaker 8: and nephews.
- 36:46Speaker 3: You want your own kids, oh for sure, especially my
- 36:49Speaker 3: own kids.
- 36:55Speaker 1: You know, having some time to give them back, you know, something.
- 36:57Speaker 7: That did not want nobody else for sure.
- 37:00Speaker 5: So if you met a woman who already had children,
- 37:02Speaker 5: she's out out of the question.
- 37:04Speaker 3: I wouldn't say it's one hundred percent out of the question.
- 37:06Speaker 3: But you know, I'm looking to spread my own legacy
- 37:09Speaker 3: you mean, not further another man.
- 37:10Speaker 8: You don't want to be no stepdaddy.
- 37:12Speaker 3: No, I'm not gonna be a stepdaddy. No disrespect to
- 37:16Speaker 3: the stepfather. I mean because a lot of step father
- 37:18Speaker 3: stepped up when the father's didn't.
- 37:20Speaker 8: I respect it.
- 37:21Speaker 3: And you know, I can't never say never, but I
- 37:24Speaker 3: know for a fact that I would want a woman
- 37:25Speaker 3: to have my seat.
- 37:26Speaker 7: Maybe the more you never know, she would have to.
- 37:29Speaker 9: Be the highest level tour. Yeah you're on it right now. Yeah,
- 37:34Speaker 9: what was.
- 37:35Speaker 1: That that you just deal with Dame Dash? Was that
- 37:36Speaker 1: part of the tour or was.
- 37:37Speaker 8: That it was just like some pre tour action what
- 37:40Speaker 8: I'm saying.
- 37:40Speaker 9: I love that you guys are together, Like, yeah, he's
- 37:42Speaker 9: one of my favorite people.
- 37:45Speaker 8: That's a straight shooter man.
- 37:47Speaker 3: I always wanted to work with Dame just because I
- 37:51Speaker 3: was always in agreement with the things that he said.
- 37:54Speaker 8: And you know, even as.
- 37:55Speaker 3: He spoke about like the Court of Vrtures and things
- 37:57Speaker 3: of that nature, he will say things that everybody was thinking, right,
- 38:01Speaker 3: but it was afraid to say. People was afraid to
- 38:03Speaker 3: lose their jobs, friends, positions, things of that nature.
- 38:06Speaker 8: And it's like somebody has.
- 38:08Speaker 3: To come and speak the truth, right, and when people
- 38:12Speaker 3: do that, you have to support them for speaking that
- 38:14Speaker 3: truth because they opened up so many doors for everybody else, right,
- 38:18Speaker 3: whether people to give that credence or them flowers, so
- 38:21Speaker 3: many people lives changed from the truth speakers.
- 38:23Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying.
- 38:24Speaker 3: You got you know, that's why I talk about, you know,
- 38:26Speaker 3: the top tours in the world, like we rule over communication,
- 38:29Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. You got Minister Farkhan, you
- 38:31Speaker 3: got Malcolm X, you got dang Dash, you got myself.
- 38:34Speaker 3: Even Shakespeare was a tourist, you know what I mean.
- 38:36Speaker 3: So the greatest communicators and speakers of truth on the
- 38:39Speaker 3: planet Earth resonate with that energy. So I always wanted
- 38:42Speaker 3: to do someone with Dame. So we went back to Oakland,
- 38:44Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, my city, and yeah, the
- 38:47Speaker 3: people showed out. Man, it was a sold our crowd
- 38:50Speaker 3: and it was dope because it was like one of
- 38:51Speaker 3: the first events that oak can get to have like that.
- 38:54Speaker 3: You feel me and the godless to like bring new
- 38:56Speaker 3: type of events that we can go to, like we
- 38:59Speaker 3: when you think of yeah, no, of course not, of
- 39:02Speaker 3: course not. You know, like we don't really have that
- 39:07Speaker 3: many options. You know what I'm saying the things that
- 39:09Speaker 3: we can do. You gotta make the concert, club, lounge
- 39:12Speaker 3: or something. But it's like we need new experiences, right
- 39:15Speaker 3: that can feel those same slots of time. But we're
- 39:17Speaker 3: gonna have a good time, we go vibe, we're gonna learn,
- 39:20Speaker 3: and we're in the midst of the most high level
- 39:22Speaker 3: people in our cities.
- 39:23Speaker 8: You feel me.
- 39:24Speaker 3: So for me, that's important because it's also a representation
- 39:27Speaker 3: of somebody like myself being able to go on tour, right,
- 39:30Speaker 3: to sell out shows and things that are nature that's new,
- 39:33Speaker 3: that represents a new culture, that represents a shift in
- 39:35Speaker 3: the times. So I look at this tour like I
- 39:38Speaker 3: could stay at home and make money on the internet, right,
- 39:40Speaker 3: I can do something digital. It's not a money play, right,
- 39:43Speaker 3: this is an impact. This is about showcasing the change,
- 39:46Speaker 3: like the culture is now shifting. So I always tell
- 39:49Speaker 3: people come out and support it, Like you are supporting
- 39:51Speaker 3: the representation of change in the world.
- 39:54Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying.
- 39:54Speaker 3: You support and like, you know, transformational experiences and you
- 39:58Speaker 3: go get some game.
- 39:59Speaker 9: How is it thro't making money in your in your
- 40:01Speaker 9: line of business? How do you sustain wealth?
- 40:03Speaker 5: Yeah, I almost feel like some people just assume more
- 40:06Speaker 5: expect that you know, you either should stay within a
- 40:10Speaker 5: certain tax bracket.
- 40:11Speaker 7: Like they just find.
- 40:12Speaker 5: It so hard to believe that you can be financially
- 40:14Speaker 5: successful and speak about spirituality.
- 40:18Speaker 3: I mean, we live in twenty twenty three. I don't
- 40:20Speaker 3: see how you could think that a person can pick
- 40:23Speaker 3: up a microphone and a camera and go on YouTube
- 40:25Speaker 3: and be viral, you know what I'm saying, hit a
- 40:27Speaker 3: million views and get tens.
- 40:29Speaker 8: Of thousands of dollars.
- 40:30Speaker 3: Right, So, like the idea, like people played the My
- 40:33Speaker 3: grandparents played the lottery for like seventy years and didn't win,
- 40:37Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. Yet they put money in
- 40:38Speaker 3: that system each and every day and every week and
- 40:41Speaker 3: every month. But our generation don't want to play the
- 40:43Speaker 3: lottery of picking up a new skills set and see
- 40:45Speaker 3: if they win, you know what I'm saying, because we
- 40:47Speaker 3: only spend our time correctly. Right, there's young children making
- 40:51Speaker 3: tens of millions of dollars on YouTube right now, right,
- 40:54Speaker 3: So for me, I think adults are just lazy.
- 40:57Speaker 8: Right.
- 40:57Speaker 3: The smart people already credit the tools we got a
- 40:59Speaker 3: artistisial intelligence that's around now, and it really takes out
- 41:03Speaker 3: all of your excuses. Now you just have to look
- 41:06Speaker 3: at it and say, damn, every goal that I ever wanted,
- 41:09Speaker 3: every idea that ever wont it is now possible. I
- 41:12Speaker 3: can't say it's my lack of budget, my lack of
- 41:13Speaker 3: having a big team, none of those different things. Now
- 41:17Speaker 3: you have to look at yourself. And this is why
- 41:18Speaker 3: I'm coming up with the book Self Wars, because what
- 41:21Speaker 3: I realize is that the enemy ain't racism and ain't
- 41:24Speaker 3: white supremacy. It ain't sexism, and ain't bigotry, right, none
- 41:27Speaker 3: of those things. It's your own mind that's stopping you
- 41:29Speaker 3: from moving forward, you know what I'm saying. And if
- 41:31Speaker 3: you can't get past that, then you can't think creatively
- 41:34Speaker 3: on how you're going to use these tools.
- 41:36Speaker 8: Right.
- 41:36Speaker 3: So we got books, we got health products, we got
- 41:39Speaker 3: tour we got speaking engagements, right, you know, I got
- 41:42Speaker 3: tech products coming out. We got the clothing, we got
- 41:44Speaker 3: the hats, right, we do collaborations, we got the sponsorships.
- 41:48Speaker 8: Like I'm gonna make away.
- 41:49Speaker 3: You feel me like, if you smart in today's time,
- 41:53Speaker 3: or you creative in today's time, there's no reason you
- 41:55Speaker 3: should be broke. Broke as a representation for me in
- 41:58Speaker 3: this time, and it ain't always been. But it's a
- 42:01Speaker 3: representation of, you know, a sort of like mental illness,
- 42:04Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, because it's a representation your
- 42:07Speaker 3: mind not working. You know what I'm saying, Like when
- 42:10Speaker 3: a person something is broken, it's not working right. But
- 42:13Speaker 3: if your mind works, you're gonna sit back and be like, no, damn,
- 42:16Speaker 3: wait a minute. Hell of ways I can make money.
- 42:18Speaker 3: I can do the airb thing. Maybe I don't want
- 42:21Speaker 3: to pick up the options. Maybe I don't want to
- 42:22Speaker 3: be a stock trader. Maybe I don't want to learn
- 42:24Speaker 3: the credit game, right, Like, maybe I want to do
- 42:26Speaker 3: touro and rent out cars. You know what I'm saying, Like,
- 42:30Speaker 3: it's so many different things that you can do. You know,
- 42:33Speaker 3: you can pick up drop shipping if you want to, right,
- 42:35Speaker 3: you can be somebody's virtual assistant. It's like being broke
- 42:39Speaker 3: is a representation of your mind not working. It They
- 42:41Speaker 3: ain't got shit to do with society.
- 42:43Speaker 7: It's definitely too many ways to make money out.
- 42:44Speaker 3: Here, and may be screaming at people and they people
- 42:46Speaker 3: got to ignore making money these days in order to
- 42:48Speaker 3: be broke.
- 42:51Speaker 9: We appreciate it for being on the Baller Alert show
- 42:54Speaker 9: now that has and I love like the branding and
- 42:57Speaker 9: things of that nature.
- 42:58Speaker 1: Do you have to be Muslim to work?
- 43:00Speaker 3: Man?
- 43:00Speaker 8: We shut these to everybody. Man. You know, you just
- 43:03Speaker 8: gotta to look good with it.
- 43:05Speaker 1: We don't want to just be showing up and everybody.
- 43:07Speaker 8: Get our head. Listen, you ain't gotta be Christian where
- 43:09Speaker 8: Christian Dior? You know what I'm saying.
- 43:11Speaker 3: This is this crown society man. You know you put
- 43:14Speaker 3: it on your head. Man, put that crown, know you man,
- 43:16Speaker 3: It's universal, man. It's a representation of knowing yourself's representation
- 43:20Speaker 3: of freedom, justice, inequality. I see the sun on the
- 43:23Speaker 3: stars every night.
- 43:24Speaker 5: Man.
- 43:24Speaker 8: They don't belong to us, they belong to everybody.
- 43:26Speaker 1: Put your orders in the tours going on high level
- 43:28Speaker 1: to it. Yeah.
- 43:29Speaker 3: We started the Apollo Theater Harlem, the legendary famous Pellow Theater.
- 43:33Speaker 3: We actually got a really dupe special guest. I can't
- 43:35Speaker 3: announce him.
- 43:37Speaker 7: What's okay?
- 43:38Speaker 3: Man, I don't even know how I can. No, you
- 43:42Speaker 3: gotta just show up. It's gonna be one of them things,
- 43:45Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. You go see the pictures
- 43:46Speaker 3: later they'll be like, damn, mom, shut up. I would
- 43:49Speaker 3: have made that We actually got a lot of people
- 43:50Speaker 3: that's been telling me that they gonna show up and
- 43:52Speaker 3: things of that nature. We gonna have a lot of
- 43:53Speaker 3: special celebrity guests and you know, influential people that's gonna
- 43:57Speaker 3: be in the building. My brother Yaqui gonna be speaking.
- 44:00Speaker 3: You know I would be speaking. It's gonna be a
- 44:02Speaker 3: couple of performances, and you know, just like these type
- 44:06Speaker 3: of things, I only really want the people who appreciate it,
- 44:09Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like that's my whole thing.
- 44:11Speaker 3: I'd rather sit in that theater with five people that
- 44:14Speaker 3: really appreciate the vibe and they decided to show up
- 44:17Speaker 3: versus you know, I means just people just showing up
- 44:21Speaker 3: just because of the marketing or things of that nature.
- 44:23Speaker 3: Like the people that make that pilgrimage, I feel like
- 44:25Speaker 3: they deserve to be there, and I want to be
- 44:27Speaker 3: in the midst of their company, you know what I'm saying.
- 44:29Speaker 3: But I can promise you just like every one of
- 44:31Speaker 3: the shows, like we just came from Toronto, we had
- 44:34Speaker 3: two back to backs, sold out shows and people loved it.
- 44:36Speaker 3: We could have did three back to back. The way
- 44:38Speaker 3: that the people just gravitating towards the energy. We went
- 44:41Speaker 3: to London, we get like five thousand people, literally the

- 45:22Speaker 7: Well, you're seeing in your audience, is it younger, older, middle, black? White?
- 45:28Speaker 3: I'm beyond now now it's getting larger. So I'm seeing

- 45:44Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. But I'm starting to see younger
- 45:47Speaker 3: people as well, because I think what happened is a
- 45:50Speaker 3: lot of the clips are going viral on like TikTok
- 45:52Speaker 3: and things of that nature, so they tapping in and
- 45:55Speaker 3: that the show, you know, High Level Conversations has really
- 45:58Speaker 3: tooking the brand to another level. And it's funny because
- 46:02Speaker 3: I always, you know, wanted the opportunity to showcase to
- 46:05Speaker 3: the world my intellect right and for me, as you
- 46:09Speaker 3: asked earlier, that's what High Level Conversations was an opportunity
- 46:12Speaker 3: to do.
- 46:13Speaker 8: Right.
- 46:13Speaker 3: It was like I don't like on Instagram, I curate
- 46:17Speaker 3: my Instagram a certain way, right because I understanding what
- 46:20Speaker 3: the algorithm works. But on High Level Conversations, you go
- 46:22Speaker 3: get that work.

- 46:26Speaker 9: success team.

- 46:28Speaker 1: Before we get out of here, though, we got a
- 46:29Speaker 1: pep talk with Knights and Keys.
- 46:31Speaker 3: Now I think about it like this, You know, your
- 46:34Speaker 3: current level has to be a lowest level. If you
- 46:37Speaker 3: have the ability to imagine yourself in a greater position,
- 46:40Speaker 3: then you have the ability to put yourself in a
- 46:42Speaker 3: greater position.
- 46:43Speaker 8: You know.
- 46:44Speaker 3: Procrastination is the abortion clinic of ideas and genius, right.
- 46:48Speaker 3: A lot of people are afraid of the pain of
- 46:50Speaker 3: doing the work, so therefore they abort during that process.
- 46:54Speaker 3: When you learn how to be alive, living man and woman,
- 46:57Speaker 3: you know how to take thoughts out your mind and
- 46:59Speaker 3: bring them in to reality. And there's no greater joy
- 47:02Speaker 3: than having an idea and a vision and actually seeing
- 47:05Speaker 3: it into fruition. So prove that you're alive, take them
- 47:09Speaker 3: thoughts out your head and bring them into reality, and
- 47:11Speaker 3: I'll see y'all at the highest level to it.
