0:00
Speaker 1: I'm a real people, real celebrity. The morning everybody is
0:08
Speaker 1: DJ mvy Angela Ye, Charlomagne the God. We are the
0:11
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club and we have a special, special, amazing guest
0:14
Speaker 1: with us this morning. Special guests a lot, but we
0:17
Speaker 1: really have a very special guest absolutely here today, the
0:21
Speaker 1: Honorable Minister Lewis firecon ladies and gentlemen. Yes, good morning, sir.
0:26
Speaker 1: Good morning to you, sir, eighty two years young. Look
0:29
Speaker 1: better than all of us. Now when the last time
0:35
Speaker 1: you did? Uh? I guess terrestrial radio? Oh earlier this
0:42
Speaker 1: year w VOKA in Chicago. I don't do much um
0:50
Speaker 1: um interviews or whatnot. I always um have felt since
0:58
Speaker 1: the seventies are eighties. When I did interviews the media,
1:08
Speaker 1: they sent their best at me, and when they could
1:14
Speaker 1: not defeat our arguments, they decided to ban me from television,
1:24
Speaker 1: and they banned me from going to black colleges and
1:30
Speaker 1: even white colleges to deliver a message. So, for all
1:36
Speaker 1: intents and purposes, many people thought I had died because
1:42
Speaker 1: they didn't see me on television. But that's been changing
1:47
Speaker 1: now and for me to be on your show, it's
1:52
Speaker 1: a great honor to me because the audience that I'm
1:58
Speaker 1: really interested in is our young people. Absolutely, and I
2:04
Speaker 1: thank God that you gave me this opportunity. Our young
2:12
Speaker 1: people represent the strongest and the best generation that we've
2:19
Speaker 1: ever had. They're not the wisest, but they are the
2:25
Speaker 1: best because they are failest right. And when you see
2:31
Speaker 1: fearless young men and women, that's the generation that God's
2:38
Speaker 1: hand is on, because that's the generation that will fulfill
2:44
Speaker 1: the promise of the ancestors who died struggling for true freedom,
2:52
Speaker 1: justice and liberation. But the young are the generation that
2:57
Speaker 1: will deliver on that promise with the right leadership. I want,
3:02
Speaker 1: I want to bring it back because the bad thing
3:05
Speaker 1: about yourself is you're not in the history books. Like
3:08
Speaker 1: they've banned you from social study, so you have to
3:10
Speaker 1: google everything, and with googling you and learning your information.
3:14
Speaker 1: You're from Harlem and you started off as a musician,
3:18
Speaker 1: and you went to Boston, and then while you were
3:20
Speaker 1: out in Chicago, explain to the people how you got
3:23
Speaker 1: involved with the Nation Islam. I was a musician. I
3:30
Speaker 1: grew up with the violin and then I learned that
3:35
Speaker 1: I could sing and I sang ballads. My parents being
3:39
Speaker 1: from the Caribbean. I learned to sing Calypso music, and
3:45
Speaker 1: I had many recordings and played in nightclubs. And I
3:51
Speaker 1: was in Chicago at a nightclub called the Blue Angel,
3:57
Speaker 1: and I was the featured performer. The name of the
4:00
Speaker 1: show was Calypso Follies. And this was in nineteen fifty four,
4:10
Speaker 1: and I heard at that time that there was a
4:16
Speaker 1: Saviour's Day convention. Some of my friends brought me there
4:22
Speaker 1: in February of fifty five and I heard Elijah Muhammad.
4:29
Speaker 1: I wasn't quite ready to join a new religion, but
4:37
Speaker 1: I was upset as a Christian because I wondered why
4:44
Speaker 1: white Christians treated Black Christians so badly and yet said
4:51
Speaker 1: we were all from the same God. That didn't ring
4:56
Speaker 1: well with me, and my pastor never addressed the condition
5:04
Speaker 1: of racism in America and the suffering of black people
5:09
Speaker 1: under that kind of tyranny. So when I heard Elijah Mohammad,
5:15
Speaker 1: I took out my form and it got lost. But
5:19
Speaker 1: I still wasn't quite ready. But when I came back
5:23
Speaker 1: to New York, where I was living, I went to
5:27
Speaker 1: the mosque and I heard Brother Malcolm, and you know,
5:33
Speaker 1: Elijah Muhammad said that God was a man, and when
5:38
Speaker 1: I heard Malcolm, I said, maybe this is he, because
5:43
Speaker 1: I never heard a black man talk like he talked.
5:50
Speaker 1: So I became a Muslim and a student under him.
5:55
Speaker 1: And today, of course, we are at that point in
6:02
Speaker 1: our development where we are being forced now to consider
6:09
Speaker 1: which is the way forward. Singing in, waiting, in, crying
6:15
Speaker 1: in praying in has not worked, marches have not worked,
6:24
Speaker 1: and the oppression in the tyranny is getting worse. So
6:29
Speaker 1: we decided on the twentieth anniversary of the Million Man
6:34
Speaker 1: March to return to the capital. The first time we
6:40
Speaker 1: went it was on atonement, reconciliation, responsibility. We warned black
6:49
Speaker 1: men to accept the responsibility of being a man and
6:56
Speaker 1: standing up for our women and our children and creating
7:01
Speaker 1: that sense of strong family again. But this time, well,
7:09
Speaker 1: I'll put it like this. Elijah Muhammad said to me
7:12
Speaker 1: one day, one day, I'm going to call a march,
7:17
Speaker 1: and that march will be for justice. And he said
7:22
Speaker 1: it won't be like the march in sixty three where
7:27
Speaker 1: people were laughing and frolicking and having a good time.
7:33
Speaker 1: When you say you're going for justice and jobs, that's
7:37
Speaker 1: no time the party. That's the time to be serious
7:42
Speaker 1: because the cry for justice against the forces who uphold injustice,
7:51
Speaker 1: how you got to have a mind. Now, what are
7:56
Speaker 1: you going to do to move the forces of injustice
8:00
Speaker 1: if they won't bow to the truth that should bring justice?
8:05
Speaker 1: And at that point, we're in the valley of decision.
8:09
Speaker 1: We've been living in the valley of the shadow of death,
8:13
Speaker 1: but we've been doing the dying. So we got some
8:17
Speaker 1: serious decisions to make as a people. And I intend
8:23
Speaker 1: to put that before the Congress, before the government, before
8:28
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice, the President, but more importantly, to
8:33
Speaker 1: put it before us as a people. What are we
8:37
Speaker 1: going to do to prepare a future for our children
8:44
Speaker 1: and our grandchildren? Do you have children? Four? How about you?
8:49
Speaker 1: I will six year girl and one on the way.
8:52
Speaker 1: May God bless those children to have a future. Yes, sir,
8:58
Speaker 1: I just want to keep them off reality TV. Well,
9:01
Speaker 1: we got to keep them off a lot of things,
9:04
Speaker 1: But the main thing is a decision that we as
9:08
Speaker 1: parents make. Every generation that we've produced has confronted white racism.
9:18
Speaker 1: Every generation. It doesn't get better. We're fifty years now
9:26
Speaker 1: from the March on Washington with Doctor King and the
9:30
Speaker 1: Civil rights movement and a few months ago we were
9:36
Speaker 1: in Selma celebrating Bloody Sunday that made Lyndon Baines Johnson
9:45
Speaker 1: sign of voting rights bill in Congress. Did that, and
9:50
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen the Supreme Court comes back and guts
9:54
Speaker 1: the protection aspect of the bill. So where are we?
9:59
Speaker 1: Can we really keep going like this? Or is it
10:04
Speaker 1: better since we're gonna die anyway? Why not make a
10:09
Speaker 1: difference and pay the price to be free? I saw
10:14
Speaker 1: you back in November. You said you gave a speech
10:16
Speaker 1: and you spoke on the riots in Ferguson, and you
10:18
Speaker 1: said you feel people will only listen to black concerns
10:22
Speaker 1: if it's violence against white people. I didn't quite say
10:27
Speaker 1: it like that. Well, I don't want to miss quote.
10:29
Speaker 1: You know I'm here for you. I'm not that other
10:30
Speaker 1: kind of media. The only thing they want to know
10:35
Speaker 1: is when they kill us, are you all gonna be peaceful?
10:41
Speaker 1: We should we be? That's a question we gotta keep
10:48
Speaker 1: asking ourselves. Everybody that stands up for us, they say,
10:53
Speaker 1: is this going to be a peaceful demonstration? How can
10:57
Speaker 1: peace be there if there's no justice there and the
11:02
Speaker 1: government is weak to stand up for us, and we
11:06
Speaker 1: pay the taxes of these people that shoot us down.
11:11
Speaker 1: We pay the taxes for an education that does not
11:16
Speaker 1: educate us properly that we can come out of school
11:19
Speaker 1: and do something for ourselves. We gotta go back and
11:23
Speaker 1: beg them for what we could unite and do for ourselves.
11:28
Speaker 1: We've got some serious decisions to make now. When you
11:33
Speaker 1: say that, I understand, and I feel you. But part
11:38
Speaker 1: of my problem is I feel like they don't look
11:40
Speaker 1: at us until the riots happen. But I see so
11:43
Speaker 1: many of us, young black individuals getting arrested, getting those
11:49
Speaker 1: fs on our records, and then later on in life.
11:51
Speaker 1: It's almost like because we stand up, they give us
11:54
Speaker 1: nothing after and we we can't have anything after because
11:57
Speaker 1: we have a felony on our record. We can't get
11:59
Speaker 1: a job, we can't help raise our children, we can't
12:02
Speaker 1: do a lot of those things. So what can we do.
12:06
Speaker 1: We have to decide do you still want to live
12:09
Speaker 1: under that no, or do we want to confront the
12:12
Speaker 1: government and say, like Moses said to Pharaoh, let my
12:17
Speaker 1: people go damn it. If we can't get justice, if
12:21
Speaker 1: we can't have peace, if our children are dying in
12:25
Speaker 1: the streets and there's no redress for our grievances. Why
12:29
Speaker 1: the hell should we stay here and continue to live
12:33
Speaker 1: like this and then join an army and go somewhere
12:37
Speaker 1: and fight for the same damn enemy that's doing what
12:40
Speaker 1: he's doing to us. We got to make a decision.
12:44
Speaker 1: And there's not much time left to play with life
12:48
Speaker 1: and to play with the future of our children. And
12:52
Speaker 1: all these weak leaders that are apologists for tyranny, they
12:58
Speaker 1: have to get out of the way. Because our children
13:01
Speaker 1: are angry. I would not mislead them in their anger
13:06
Speaker 1: to do something to get them killed or slaughtered. But
13:12
Speaker 1: there is a verse in the Quran that says persecution
13:18
Speaker 1: is worse than slaughter. Look at your brother, the Palestinians
13:24
Speaker 1: in Gaza. They have nothing. So no court of redress
13:34
Speaker 1: has addressed the grievances of the Palestinian people. So these
13:40
Speaker 1: are children with stones in their hands against tanks and
13:46
Speaker 1: against the armed might of Disraeli defense force. But they
13:51
Speaker 1: don't care because they're dead already. So now Israel is
13:58
Speaker 1: looking bad all over the world for what they're doing
14:02
Speaker 1: to the Palestinians. And now coming out of Crimea, coming
14:07
Speaker 1: out of Russia, coming out of China, there's anger over there.
14:12
Speaker 1: For what America is allowing to have done to us.
14:18
Speaker 1: So America's looking bad because we want to go all
14:22
Speaker 1: over the world telling other people about their denial of
14:26
Speaker 1: human rights. And we're the biggest criminals of all to
14:31
Speaker 1: black and brown and poor people. So it's time now,
14:36
Speaker 1: somebody gotta make a decision. When you did the million
14:40
Speaker 1: man march in nineteen ninety five, is you think twenty
14:43
Speaker 1: years later, in twenty fifteen, we still have to march
14:45
Speaker 1: for justice. As you think things will get better. No,
14:49
Speaker 1: I never thought it would get better just by marching.
14:56
Speaker 1: But the enemy is so frightened. We called for one million,
15:02
Speaker 1: and nearly two million men showed up. That's an army.
15:08
Speaker 1: I didn't rile the army up and say let's go fight.
15:14
Speaker 1: I said, look at this. This was the most peaceful
15:18
Speaker 1: demonstration in the largest gathering of black men anywhere in
15:24
Speaker 1: the world. They went back home to their families, to
15:32
Speaker 1: their wives, to their children. We took twenty five thousand
15:39
Speaker 1: offerings and gave them homes, brothers and sisters registered to vote.
15:47
Speaker 1: What did we get out of it? We helped our
15:51
Speaker 1: brother get in office, and we were so excited and
15:55
Speaker 1: proud to have our first black president. And then when
16:00
Speaker 1: our brothers in Baltimore, I mean, that's a city where
16:04
Speaker 1: black folk have been catching hell for a long time.
16:08
Speaker 1: When they rise up, our president refers to them as
16:13
Speaker 1: thugs and criminals. I wanna say to brother Barack, you
16:20
Speaker 1: know when the highest office in the land can look
16:26
Speaker 1: at our children and call them thugs and criminals, and
16:33
Speaker 1: unwittingly he's sentencing them to death by the forces that
16:39
Speaker 1: deal with thugs and criminals. They're not thugs, they're not criminals.
16:44
Speaker 1: They're angry young people and older people who have stores
16:50
Speaker 1: in the community. We should own the stores and serve
16:55
Speaker 1: our own needs. But you have Koreans there now. They
17:00
Speaker 1: serve us well. We get hair, we get nails, we
17:03
Speaker 1: get our feet done. They don't respect us. We have
17:08
Speaker 1: Palestinians and Arabs. They're serving us regardless to their suffering
17:14
Speaker 1: back in their homeland. They don't handle us with the
17:18
Speaker 1: respect of somebody that's taken money out of our community
17:23
Speaker 1: and they don't leave nothing in the black community. They
17:28
Speaker 1: take them our money and they go build Korea town,
17:31
Speaker 1: they go build other towns while we're sitting here with nothing.
17:36
Speaker 1: All of this gotta stop. And the only one that's
17:40
Speaker 1: gonna stop. It is us. But the war that we
17:44
Speaker 1: gotta fight is on two fronts. We can't go to
17:48
Speaker 1: Washington and tell the government, step up, you stop killing us.
17:54
Speaker 1: And Mayor Giuliani comes up and says, seventy of the
17:59
Speaker 1: people that die in the hood are black people killing
18:02
Speaker 1: black people. He's not lying. So we've got to go
18:07
Speaker 1: in our community and straighten that out. They are not
18:11
Speaker 1: guilty in our community. This is what you call social engineering.
18:17
Speaker 1: The enemy planned this and did it, and pardon me.
18:21
Speaker 1: You know, I'm very passionate because I don't have no
18:26
Speaker 1: time to waste. I'm an old man, and I don't
18:30
Speaker 1: see for the round with the truth. Because we don't
18:33
Speaker 1: have time for diplomatic language. We gotta say it like
18:38
Speaker 1: it is and then back it up with our lives
18:42
Speaker 1: if necessary. I'm eighty two. I don't know how much
18:46
Speaker 1: time I got, but I want to leave this world
18:51
Speaker 1: with our people in a better state. But sometimes it's
18:55
Speaker 1: gonna take the sacrifice of life to produce a better tomorrow.
19:01
Speaker 1: So the tea Party, not the present political tea party,
19:08
Speaker 1: but the tea party that in Boston dumped all the
19:14
Speaker 1: tea that they used to make money in the harbor.
19:19
Speaker 1: That was a criminal act from the vantage point of
19:23
Speaker 1: King George. But on the side of those who were
19:29
Speaker 1: suffering under the tyranny of the Crown of England, it
19:33
Speaker 1: was an act of rebellion that led to a war
19:38
Speaker 1: that brought America into existence. So I'm saying this to
19:43
Speaker 1: our president and to others. These are not thugs and criminals.
19:49
Speaker 1: They have been put in a condition by thugs and
19:55
Speaker 1: by criminals. Now let me bring them to the witness
19:58
Speaker 1: stand and see who these criminals are. Just a minute. Brother,
20:08
Speaker 1: By the way, I didn't know my spirit would be
20:11
Speaker 1: like this. I'm not lying. I'm speaking now, but there's
20:18
Speaker 1: another power driving me to say these things because it
20:24
Speaker 1: is time that they be said. And we can't back
20:28
Speaker 1: up all these leaders that want to lead black people
20:32
Speaker 1: in this hour. Speak truth to power and be willing
20:37
Speaker 1: to back truth up with your life, then change will come.
20:43
Speaker 1: But listen to this, brother. I'm an old man, now,
20:47
Speaker 1: don't you keep saying that. I look at this, Look
20:52
Speaker 1: at this, brother. When I was a young boy living
20:58
Speaker 1: in Boston, there were always factories in the inner city
21:07
Speaker 1: for the less educated worker that he could have a job,
21:16
Speaker 1: bring home some money, take care of his family. We
21:20
Speaker 1: had church, school, neighborhood. We had gangs then, but we
21:27
Speaker 1: never killed one another. But look at this. Forty years ago,
21:33
Speaker 1: I was overseas in Africa. I came back to America
21:39
Speaker 1: and I read in the newspapers that they said we
21:45
Speaker 1: should not put money into the inner cities because the
21:52
Speaker 1: inner cities are ready to explode. All of a sudden,
21:58
Speaker 1: the factories the inner cities began to close, government reaches,
22:07
Speaker 1: trade agreements, and money or factories leave America go to
22:15
Speaker 1: Third World countries where the labor market is cheap. So
22:21
Speaker 1: when the jobs close down in the inner cities, the
22:27
Speaker 1: black man, who is unskilled labor is left in the lurch. Now,
22:35
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, drugs come in. We become involved
22:43
Speaker 1: in crime as the only way to make a living
22:47
Speaker 1: when you don't know how to make a job for yourself.
22:53
Speaker 1: Who steps into that picture. And I'll quote the Bible
22:59
Speaker 1: better because I want you to really see this. Paul said,
23:05
Speaker 1: we wore not against flesh and blood, but against principalities
23:12
Speaker 1: and powers, and the rulers of the darkness of this
23:17
Speaker 1: world and spiritual wickedness in high places. This social engineering
23:24
Speaker 1: didn't come from little white people. This social engineering came
23:30
Speaker 1: from the very top of the socio economic ladder. Reagan
23:36
Speaker 1: was a great anti communist human being, and when the
23:42
Speaker 1: Sandinistas arose in Nicaragua, Reagan did not want that area
23:49
Speaker 1: to become socialist or communist. He went to Congress asked
23:55
Speaker 1: Congress to back him to fight against the rise of
23:59
Speaker 1: the and Dnistas in Nicaragua. Congress turned him down. So
24:06
Speaker 1: Reagan went to King Fahad in Saudi Arabia and got
24:12
Speaker 1: ten million dollars. But that wasn't enough. So the CIA
24:17
Speaker 1: under Bush George H. W. Bush, they brought drugs through
24:29
Speaker 1: Freeway Rick into America and crack cocaine was developed. Any
24:36
Speaker 1: time black people become conscious, drugs are entered into the equation.
24:43
Speaker 1: Because the church can't hold young people no more, education
24:48
Speaker 1: can't hold them anymore, so let's make them drug addicts.
24:54
Speaker 1: And then now biological and chemical weapons AIDS. Where did
25:00
Speaker 1: that come from? That? Our women are the number one
25:04
Speaker 1: purveyors of age virus. That's not an accident. Excuse me
25:10
Speaker 1: for my passion, but I'm telling you, man, we are
25:13
Speaker 1: living in the very valley of the shadow of death.
25:18
Speaker 1: And if somebody doesn't rise up to tell the truth
25:22
Speaker 1: and marshal the forces for justice. Then we're going to
25:27
Speaker 1: be like this when your young girls yours become women.
25:34
Speaker 1: And by the way, having a baby today is a
25:38
Speaker 1: disaster because the minute the baby is born, now they
25:44
Speaker 1: want to take the child from you and give it
25:47
Speaker 1: an injection, some kind of vaccination or some kind of chemical.
26:02
Speaker 1: Robert Kennedy Jr. Was at my home a week or
26:08
Speaker 1: so ago, and Bobby Kennedy Jr. Was representing a man
26:17
Speaker 1: in the Center for Disease Control who blew the whistle
26:24
Speaker 1: that the CDC was responsible for developing a vaccine that
26:34
Speaker 1: is genetically prepared or concocted to affect black males. This
26:43
Speaker 1: is the Bible kill the male, spared the female. And
26:49
Speaker 1: it's going on right now. They're take your baby. They're
26:53
Speaker 1: sneaking in the ward where the baby is born. If
26:58
Speaker 1: the parents are not looking to take the baby and
27:01
Speaker 1: inject them with what what are they injecting them with?
27:05
Speaker 1: According to Bobby Kennedy and the research and scientists, then
27:12
Speaker 1: injecting them with vaccines that are high in mercury, and
27:18
Speaker 1: this mercury starts eating at the cells of the brain.
27:24
Speaker 1: They realize their world is finished. There's no more white
27:29
Speaker 1: supremacy ruling. That's over. We are awakening. Now you're gonna
27:35
Speaker 1: have to compete with awakened black men and women, awakened
27:40
Speaker 1: brown men and women, awakened red men and women, and
27:44
Speaker 1: awakened poor white people. You're not gonna play the game
27:49
Speaker 1: over the masses of the people anymore. And that's why
27:53
Speaker 1: the big new Brazinski said, it is easier to kill
27:57
Speaker 1: a million people than to control a million people. They've
28:03
Speaker 1: lost control, but they're killing through food vaccines. I'm not
28:10
Speaker 1: saying you shouldn't take a vaccine, but you shouldn't be
28:14
Speaker 1: stupid and think that the same man that gave the
28:18
Speaker 1: Indians small pox through blankets, that that same man has
28:24
Speaker 1: your interests at heart. When he says we have a
28:27
Speaker 1: vaccine for you, you better wake up and look up.
28:32
Speaker 1: So I'm saying that because Bobby Kennedy can't get support
28:38
Speaker 1: because the pharmaceuticals have bought off Congress. Did you hear me?
28:45
Speaker 1: He can't he can't get a congressman, a senator to
28:50
Speaker 1: bring him before Congress and subpoena the whistle blow blower
28:56
Speaker 1: from CDC because the pharmaceuticals have bought off the Congress.
29:04
Speaker 1: I said, mister Kennedy, how formidable are your opposers? He
29:10
Speaker 1: had a chemist there, he had a billionaire there who's
29:14
Speaker 1: a philanthropist. And the billionaire looked at me and said,
29:19
Speaker 1: it's very difficult. I mean, I see, And then he
29:24
Speaker 1: said I could get on CNN tonight. He was on
29:27
Speaker 1: Bill Maher's show, but he said, I they won't allow
29:32
Speaker 1: me to say this. Say you can say anything else
29:35
Speaker 1: because the pharmaceuticals have bought off the media. I said, well,
29:39
Speaker 1: what about black preachers, Since it's it's directed against black males,
29:47
Speaker 1: what are we doing? He said, I'm sorry, they're not
29:54
Speaker 1: responding either. Some of us have been paid off by
29:59
Speaker 1: the farm parmaceutical companies. I said, well, what about the
30:03
Speaker 1: Congressional Black Caucus. He said, I'm sure they would like
30:10
Speaker 1: to help, but they're weak. So that's why he showed
30:14
Speaker 1: up at my door. Am I the only man that
30:21
Speaker 1: don't fare death to speak truth to power? Don't? I
30:28
Speaker 1: have strong brothers and sisters out there that will stand
30:32
Speaker 1: with me. I'm prepared to go alone because if God
30:39
Speaker 1: is with me, I'm still the winner. It's just me
30:43
Speaker 1: and God. But it's a shame that we are so corrupt,
30:50
Speaker 1: so in love with money, that we will sell out
30:54
Speaker 1: the future of our people for dollar. Bill, Well, what
30:58
Speaker 1: are you gonna do when the dollar crashes? That's on
31:02
Speaker 1: the way. So all of you who betray each other
31:05
Speaker 1: for a dollar, who kill each other for a dollar,
31:08
Speaker 1: who are bought off by a dollar, but you're gonna
31:11
Speaker 1: have to find another medium of exchange because the dollar
31:15
Speaker 1: in a little while won't be worth a dime. So
31:19
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, brothers, I don't all this long, but man,
31:24
Speaker 1: I'm so full. It's dangerous when you get me on
31:28
Speaker 1: your show. Why do you think? Um? You know a
31:32
Speaker 1: lot of artists now aren't afraid to stand with you
31:34
Speaker 1: publicly because a lot of people used to like to
31:36
Speaker 1: talk to you in private because, like you said, they
31:38
Speaker 1: thought it would mess up their money. Like he said,
31:40
Speaker 1: before we thought he was dead. We didn't see him anymore,
31:42
Speaker 1: we didn't hear him anymore. But now artists will stand
31:45
Speaker 1: by you a lot of Like you said, a lot
31:47
Speaker 1: of artists wouldn't stand by you because they would mess
31:49
Speaker 1: up their bottom line, which is the dollar. A consciousness now,
31:53
Speaker 1: there's a consciousness, especially in our young rappers. Did you
32:01
Speaker 1: know that there was a conspiracy. Oh, brothers, I'm so
32:06
Speaker 1: full let it out. You know, there was a meeting
32:11
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles with some very powerful men and they
32:18
Speaker 1: were meeting. According to what I heard of record executives,
32:26
Speaker 1: these men that were meeting were now the owners of
32:31
Speaker 1: private prisons. It's like when you build a hotel, you're
32:36
Speaker 1: looking for occupancy. So you're not going to build a
32:39
Speaker 1: thousand bed hospital if you don't think you can attract
32:43
Speaker 1: a thousand people every week or every day to stay
32:47
Speaker 1: in your hotel. So they're building private prisons now. And
32:53
Speaker 1: these men wanted the music executives to turn the rap
33:02
Speaker 1: of men like KRS One Big Daddy Cane public enemy,
33:08
Speaker 1: those conscious lyrics. They wanted to change it to gangster rap.
33:15
Speaker 1: This didn't happen accidentally, they allowed that to develop promoted beefs.
33:22
Speaker 1: So then we start shooting each other. We end up
33:25
Speaker 1: where in prison felony. When you're in prison, who do
33:30
Speaker 1: you work for? Because the thirteenth Amendment says that we
33:35
Speaker 1: are free if we don't get into trouble, but if
33:40
Speaker 1: we are arrested and found guilty of a crime, our
33:44
Speaker 1: citizenship goes out the window. That's in the thirteenth Amendment.
33:49
Speaker 1: This man does not give you anything where you don't
33:54
Speaker 1: look in it and find a trick waiting for you.
33:59
Speaker 1: So now here we are in prison, working for IBM,
34:03
Speaker 1: working for motor Rolla, working for companies with skills. Now
34:07
Speaker 1: that they teach us in prison that we can make
34:11
Speaker 1: money for corporate interests that pay money to the prison
34:17
Speaker 1: man that owns the prison, and when we come out
34:20
Speaker 1: of prison, there's no work for us. Even though we
34:24
Speaker 1: were working for these big corporations while we were in prison.
34:29
Speaker 1: Once we are out, we can't work no more. That's
34:32
Speaker 1: forcing us into behavior that they can say we're criminal.
34:38
Speaker 1: We're not the criminal. The criminals out of one that
34:42
Speaker 1: create the conditions that turn us into less than what
34:47
Speaker 1: we could be. So I want to expose all of
34:50
Speaker 1: this so and I have been doing it. So the
34:54
Speaker 1: young rappers they say, d'am you know, excuse me, farkon,
35:00
Speaker 1: this is real. I say, yes, brother. I was with
35:05
Speaker 1: brother Snoop and I was telling my brother how you
35:12
Speaker 1: rappers are the new leaders. You're the real leaders of
35:17
Speaker 1: the people. The rapper doesn't think he's a leader, but
35:22
Speaker 1: he's got followers all over the world. The biggest preachers
35:27
Speaker 1: don't have as many followers as one rapper. So it's
35:32
Speaker 1: the question, now, how can we get you to rap
35:37
Speaker 1: where intelligence is coming through the lyrics with a beat
35:42
Speaker 1: that begins to open the minds of people. Our people
35:48
Speaker 1: want better and they'll do better if they're shown better.
35:52
Speaker 1: So my brothers that are rappers, I'm speaking now specifically
35:58
Speaker 1: of Snoop. I have an album coming out, by the way,
36:02
Speaker 1: and I just finished it. What you're doing, oh man,
36:07
Speaker 1: I'm doing a lot of stuff. Now you're singing on
36:12
Speaker 1: that you're talking, Yeah, okay, it's it's the minister's life
36:18
Speaker 1: in music. Elijah Muhammad asked me to give it up,
36:22
Speaker 1: and I did, and I gave up what I my
36:27
Speaker 1: talent was because the word that he taught meant more
36:32
Speaker 1: to me than my music, because the word would stimulate
36:36
Speaker 1: consciousness among our people that would allow us to be
36:40
Speaker 1: better by learning to love each other, learning to your
36:44
Speaker 1: night with each other, learning to pool our resources to
36:48
Speaker 1: do some constructive things for each other and for ourselves.
36:52
Speaker 1: So just before he left us in seventy two, I
36:59
Speaker 1: brought my violence then out to Chicago and I played
37:02
Speaker 1: for him and he said, boy, he said, you really
37:07
Speaker 1: can play that thing. So A week or so later,
37:11
Speaker 1: he called me back out to Chicago and he told
37:15
Speaker 1: me bring your violin. And when I went out, it
37:22
Speaker 1: was a little Ishmael who is now my assistant. He
37:27
Speaker 1: was a little boy then, and his brother Russeul and Ahmed,
37:32
Speaker 1: and they put on a skit and then his wife,
37:36
Speaker 1: mother Taneta Muhammad, she played the piano, and then he says, well,
37:42
Speaker 1: why don't you play the violin? And I got up
37:46
Speaker 1: and played, and I noticed a frown on his face.
37:50
Speaker 1: He said, brother, isn't that the same song you played
37:54
Speaker 1: the last time you were here. I said yes, sir,
38:00
Speaker 1: he said, well, don't you know anything new? So he
38:03
Speaker 1: was putting me back in my music. See, the violin
38:08
Speaker 1: is such a very difficult instrument to play, but you
38:12
Speaker 1: can't play classical music and not grow into a universal mind.
38:20
Speaker 1: And that's why music is loved all over the world,
38:24
Speaker 1: because it is a universal language. Well, why did Elijah
38:28
Speaker 1: Muhammad put me back on this music? Do you mind
38:34
Speaker 1: my going into you know, when he asked me to
38:42
Speaker 1: give up music, I made a song that was inspired
38:47
Speaker 1: by brother Malcolm. He used to write for the Amsterdam
38:51
Speaker 1: News and his column was the Angry black Man, and
38:57
Speaker 1: this week he wrote a column, A white man's heaven
39:01
Speaker 1: is a black man's hell. So I took that title
39:07
Speaker 1: and made a song, and in the sixties it was
39:10
Speaker 1: an underground hit. In fact, it's what converted Muhammad Ali.
39:16
Speaker 1: And when you when Mohammed was, before he was Muhammed,
39:22
Speaker 1: he was castious clay. But you meet him. He would
39:25
Speaker 1: start off, while we call negroes, while we're deaf, dumb
39:30
Speaker 1: and blind. Why is everybody making progress yet we seem
39:35
Speaker 1: to be lagging so far behind. That's the way the
39:39
Speaker 1: song starts. It was really wrapped in fifty six. Would
39:48
Speaker 1: you mean Kanye gonna remix it? What's going on? He
39:51
Speaker 1: got a surprise coming. So look, I come back to this.
39:58
Speaker 1: I was talking to Snoop, I said, Snoop, I would
40:03
Speaker 1: love to see you make a rap to take young
40:11
Speaker 1: people away from government leaders who are using their patriotism
40:20
Speaker 1: and their zeal for evil and making them think they're
40:28
Speaker 1: making the world safe for America. Anytime you got a
40:34
Speaker 1: president that's a liar, did you hear me? That would
40:40
Speaker 1: lie to the American people that Saddam Hussein had weapons
40:46
Speaker 1: of mass destruction and colon power. Our brother was used
40:54
Speaker 1: because he had integrity. They put him before the UN
40:59
Speaker 1: and he backed the line that was concocted by the
41:04
Speaker 1: intelligence community. So all these young men and women went
41:12
Speaker 1: to war on the basis of a lion, A lion Afghanistan,
41:19
Speaker 1: a lie in Iraq. And what's the result of that lie?
41:25
Speaker 1: Almost the whole treasury of America was destroyed prosecuting a
41:30
Speaker 1: war that was not for democracy or patriotism or anything noble.
41:40
Speaker 1: It was for oil and the reserve oil that was
41:44
Speaker 1: in Iraq. America wanted control of it and they wanted
41:49
Speaker 1: to plant bases there because they feared the rise of Iran.
41:55
Speaker 1: So you got soldiers that are being used all over
41:59
Speaker 1: the world that are young. We got ten year olds
42:02
Speaker 1: in Africa being used as soldiers, killing each other at
42:08
Speaker 1: ten years old for no real, honorable, noble purpose. So
42:17
Speaker 1: I said, Snoop, you know, if if we could make
42:20
Speaker 1: a rap that helps our young people to see the
42:26
Speaker 1: value of their lives, that they shouldn't allow their lives
42:31
Speaker 1: to be used by governments. And then when they come
42:35
Speaker 1: home from Iraq, they get no support. So my brother
42:41
Speaker 1: went away and he came back with a song Let's
42:48
Speaker 1: change the world. And I loved the song, so much
42:55
Speaker 1: that I made it the theme of the album. Let's
43:03
Speaker 1: change the world. That's who you are, brother, that's who
43:08
Speaker 1: you are. That's who you are, sister, That's who our
43:11
Speaker 1: young people are. This world is finished, but we have
43:16
Speaker 1: been chosen by God to be the cornerstone of a
43:20
Speaker 1: brand new reality. And it's time now for us to
43:25
Speaker 1: come in and clean up and let's go to work, man,
43:30
Speaker 1: to build a real government that's by the people, of
43:33
Speaker 1: the people and for the people, because this one is not.
43:37
Speaker 1: But love to get your take on something that we've
43:39
Speaker 1: been discussing at work a lot. When people get successful,
43:43
Speaker 1: some of our artists, they leave where they came from
43:46
Speaker 1: and they're like, don't go back, you know, to the
43:48
Speaker 1: hood because it's danger is you don't want to go there,
43:50
Speaker 1: just stay away, no reason to be there. And I
43:53
Speaker 1: would love to hear what you have to say about that. Well,
43:58
Speaker 1: if that's the attitude, that's a bad attitude. What do
44:02
Speaker 1: you mean I can't go back to where I came from,
44:07
Speaker 1: where I was nurtured. So I've got money and I
44:10
Speaker 1: want to live in a better a neighborhood, live in
44:14
Speaker 1: a bigger home. There's nothing wrong with that. But what
44:18
Speaker 1: happens when we are like that, we don't see our
44:22
Speaker 1: connection and go back and lift that community out of
44:27
Speaker 1: which we emerged. Elijah Muhammad said this, and I say
44:31
Speaker 1: this to our president, my dear brother, Elijah Muhammad said,
44:37
Speaker 1: no one man can rise above the condition of his people.
44:46
Speaker 1: You have become the president of the United States and
44:50
Speaker 1: went on television to start tweeting. And how did they
44:55
Speaker 1: treat you? They called you at every turn. They talked
45:01
Speaker 1: about you, talked about your wife, talked about your children.
45:05
Speaker 1: You cannot escape being who you are no matter what
45:10
Speaker 1: kind of power you think you have. Soon you be
45:15
Speaker 1: coming back home. We'll make you a real president of
45:20
Speaker 1: a real nation that I think you can lead in
45:24
Speaker 1: a better direction. The Black nation is coming up. We
45:28
Speaker 1: want a nation of our own, and we will have
45:32
Speaker 1: it by the grace of God. Or without a home.
45:37
Speaker 1: What I like to say is, you know, you gotta
45:38
Speaker 1: get out, you gotta give back, and you gottascribe to
45:40
Speaker 1: make it better. Because I feel like you know, it
45:42
Speaker 1: is dangerous for young brothers like us when you do
45:45
Speaker 1: get to a certain level, because you do have certain
45:47
Speaker 1: people that we grew up with who do want to
45:50
Speaker 1: cause us harm. So we just can't be out there
45:52
Speaker 1: hanging on the corner, hanging in the hood like that.
45:54
Speaker 1: I mean, see what has happened to us? Brother? See
46:00
Speaker 1: when you make it, the question is now, how are
46:04
Speaker 1: we making it? It's like fifty crabs in a barrel.
46:10
Speaker 1: One crab trying to get up and another one pulls
46:15
Speaker 1: it down. But the barrel maker and the crab master,
46:20
Speaker 1: he go in the barrel and pull a crab up
46:23
Speaker 1: and put it on the top of the barrel and
46:26
Speaker 1: make the other crabs think you can get there too.
46:29
Speaker 1: And what they do They use the successful ones to
46:34
Speaker 1: lead us to think that America is for us, that
46:38
Speaker 1: as I made it, you two can make it. Stop
46:42
Speaker 1: telling that lie. When you are a great basketball player,
46:47
Speaker 1: you are a great basketball player in a plantation owned
46:52
Speaker 1: by your enemy, and you a rich slave. Did you
46:56
Speaker 1: see the brothers running up and down trying to make
46:59
Speaker 1: it into the NFL? Well, what was that? That's like
47:03
Speaker 1: your great great grandfather standing on an auction block. Show
47:09
Speaker 1: me your muscle. Oh, this is a strong and you
47:13
Speaker 1: run around, squeezes behind and look at his muscle. How
47:17
Speaker 1: much can I get for this one? That's what you
47:20
Speaker 1: are today. You're nothing but a show horse. I'm not
47:25
Speaker 1: putting you down. I love you, But don't you ever
47:29
Speaker 1: think that these people that make you millionaires love you.
47:34
Speaker 1: They give it to you, and five years after you're
47:37
Speaker 1: out of the league, you're broke, you're busted, you're sick. No,
47:43
Speaker 1: none of them will ever teach you how to marshal
47:46
Speaker 1: your money. They pull their resources and buy up things
47:53
Speaker 1: that make a difference, create jobs. You use your money
47:57
Speaker 1: to put something in the hood. That's your giving back,
48:01
Speaker 1: a little basketball court or a little community center. We
48:06
Speaker 1: applaud you for that, but we would applaud you more
48:09
Speaker 1: if you say, brother, how many million you got? I
48:13
Speaker 1: got a few, You got a few, You got a few.
48:16
Speaker 1: Let's pull our money and buy up America. Since America
48:20
Speaker 1: is for sale, how you gonna create jobs? And all
48:26
Speaker 1: this land is out here ready to be bought, and
48:29
Speaker 1: we don't pull our money and buy real value, which
48:33
Speaker 1: is real estate, and the real estate is land. From
48:38
Speaker 1: the land comes everything. So yes, brother, they prey on
48:43
Speaker 1: you because when you come home, you got money, and
48:48
Speaker 1: so your homies here shali man. Man. You know, man,
48:55
Speaker 1: you're making it. I'm glad you're making it. Brother. You
48:58
Speaker 1: know how we do I'm glad you make it, but
49:02
Speaker 1: you know I have a little problem. I need a
49:05
Speaker 1: little help, absolutely, and everybody now didn't know. You need
49:09
Speaker 1: the same kind of help. And if you don't do it,
49:10
Speaker 1: you're not real. Oh he ain't really now you didn't
49:13
Speaker 1: grow the and walked away from us, and now you
49:16
Speaker 1: think you better than us. You didn't change doing us, see,
49:19
Speaker 1: and then they attack you. That's what they did with
49:22
Speaker 1: our brother Um from the Celtics, Antonina Walker, yes see.
49:29
Speaker 1: And they do it to rappers as well. But you
49:31
Speaker 1: know why they do that because you have and they don't.
49:35
Speaker 1: And the enemy makes you the buffer between their wicked
49:40
Speaker 1: machinations using our sports figures are entertainers. They give you
49:48
Speaker 1: what they call it um endorsements, right all right now,
49:55
Speaker 1: on my shoe, if it's a if it's an Nike,
50:01
Speaker 1: my brother Michael is on it. Where's it made? Made overseas?
50:08
Speaker 1: How much did it cost? So you got young brown people,
50:14
Speaker 1: yellow people, black people making Nike for eight or nine
50:20
Speaker 1: dollars and it's coming back here and you go into
50:24
Speaker 1: shopping mall. What are you paid for your shoes? Two
50:28
Speaker 1: hundred dollars? So everybody making a profit and Nike think
50:33
Speaker 1: they well, you know, Michael, we gave him a big,
50:38
Speaker 1: a big endorsement, but Nike ain't given nothing to black people.
50:45
Speaker 1: That's why when I say or else, they got to
50:50
Speaker 1: be a way to make them responsible to the people
50:54
Speaker 1: who make them rich. You know, if you go to
50:58
Speaker 1: church and Raven expect you, yes, a brother, come on,
51:05
Speaker 1: and you know tithing is ten percent of what the
51:08
Speaker 1: Lord bless you. We're tithing should be ten percent of
51:13
Speaker 1: what we the lords bless these major companies with. But
51:18
Speaker 1: as long as a few individuals get fat, the masses
51:23
Speaker 1: still stay poor and skinny. We gotta change that reality.
51:28
Speaker 1: And that's why we're going to Washington to say it's
51:31
Speaker 1: justice or else. What can we do? Like when we're
51:35
Speaker 1: in positions where we do work for these companies, what
51:38
Speaker 1: should we be doing with the resources we get from
51:40
Speaker 1: these companies? What the money from these companies? Basically, we
51:43
Speaker 1: should learn the value of pooling our resources. As an individual,
51:50
Speaker 1: we can't do much right now. Magic Johnson, it's a
51:56
Speaker 1: very rich brother. But Magic didn't put up all those Starbucks.
52:05
Speaker 1: Magic was called in to bring his money to join
52:12
Speaker 1: with others with money, and they put up Starbucks. He's
52:17
Speaker 1: a partner in that he gets something. I want to
52:20
Speaker 1: shout out to my brother Mayweather. I really admire my brother.
52:31
Speaker 1: I just think about this Mayweather. Money, money, money, Mayweather.
52:38
Speaker 1: Look here, brother, money. As long as Bob Barum had you,
52:45
Speaker 1: he was making the money. Give you something. But look
52:50
Speaker 1: at what happened when you jumped him. You wanted to
52:56
Speaker 1: fight with de la Joya, and you asked this man
53:00
Speaker 1: for twenty million. He said, oh that kind of money.
53:05
Speaker 1: Don't even Maxis. See, the white man will always tell
53:08
Speaker 1: you that crap to keep you satisfied with nothing while
53:13
Speaker 1: they take everything for themselves. That's why you don't hear
53:17
Speaker 1: them going broke. You don't hear them with their children
53:21
Speaker 1: not able to get a decent education. They sucked the
53:25
Speaker 1: blood out of you black people to maintain a heavy,
53:32
Speaker 1: high lifestyle, and they don't buy Buggatti's or whether you
53:36
Speaker 1: call that car Buggatti, you Buggatti. But look, my dear brother,
53:42
Speaker 1: I noticed that Warren Buffett was coming around you. I
53:48
Speaker 1: know he's a very wise man in business, but I
53:54
Speaker 1: know these people are looking at you and the money
53:57
Speaker 1: that you have amasked. They don't of you. In fact,
54:02
Speaker 1: they really hate the fact that you could dump Barbararum
54:07
Speaker 1: and now are running five hundred million, six hundred million,
54:11
Speaker 1: going toward a billion dollars that you've made on your own.
54:16
Speaker 1: They didn't give you no endorsements. They didn't give you nothing.
54:20
Speaker 1: So they can tell you that maybe you can't read
54:23
Speaker 1: or you can write, but you can think. And you
54:26
Speaker 1: outthought them. Michael Jackson, your brother, he outthought them. He
54:32
Speaker 1: became dangerous because he owned the catalog of Elvis Presley
54:39
Speaker 1: and the Beatles, and all they were trying to do
54:44
Speaker 1: was take it from him. And they want to take
54:47
Speaker 1: your wealth. Please, brother, be careful because when they ask
54:53
Speaker 1: you to invest and you invest in in in Burger King,
55:00
Speaker 1: don't do that, brother, they ain't not feeding your people.
55:03
Speaker 1: Well you would die probably in sixty days if you
55:10
Speaker 1: just ate Burglar Kid. So don't give your people what
55:14
Speaker 1: you can't use yourself. So, mister Buffett, I'm surprised at
55:20
Speaker 1: you guiding my brother like that. I think. Brother, if
55:25
Speaker 1: they try to get you to invest in stocks and barns,
55:29
Speaker 1: be careful, brother, because if the stock market crash, all
55:34
Speaker 1: your money go down. The two No. Man, let's invest
55:39
Speaker 1: in land, get as much as we can because from
55:43
Speaker 1: the land comes, food, clothing, shelter, everything we need comes
55:48
Speaker 1: out of the earth like we do. So I just
55:52
Speaker 1: want to shout out to your brother, don't let the
55:55
Speaker 1: blood suckers come near you now, because you a wise
56:00
Speaker 1: man who became rich without their assistance, but with the
56:05
Speaker 1: skillful use of your mind. Don't go to sleep because
56:09
Speaker 1: rich white people say they like you. Well, you know, minister,
56:12
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons. One of the reason may where
56:14
Speaker 1: they don't get a lot of endorsements is because it
56:16
Speaker 1: is criminal history. Oh excuse me, it's all right. It's
56:21
Speaker 1: all right, talk brothers. All right, it's the breakfast club.
56:28
Speaker 1: Anything goes, It's all right, it's all right. We're gonna
56:32
Speaker 1: earn our title, the title of the world most Nati
56:34
Speaker 1: this morning show. We're gonna earn it this morning. Brother,
56:37
Speaker 1: that's BS. I have to say this. Man Um. You know,
56:43
Speaker 1: brother Kennedy, his father Um was in bootlegging. Joe Kennedy.
56:53
Speaker 1: Was that criminal behavior back in those days when it
56:56
Speaker 1: was prohibition. Yeah, that's right. So he made a lot
57:01
Speaker 1: of money, so did Dutch Shultz. He was a Jewish criminal.
57:08
Speaker 1: He died peacefully with all his money. How you mean
57:14
Speaker 1: to tell me if we get into little trouble. You're
57:17
Speaker 1: not gonna give me an endorsement with all the criminal behavior.
57:22
Speaker 1: See for me without five domestic violence charges now against women? Yeah,
57:26
Speaker 1: yes's up. Oh that's that's that's too bad. Man. Look
57:33
Speaker 1: some of them discharging you. You know I'm in Look, man,
57:37
Speaker 1: you really need a lawyer. I ain't talking about a
57:41
Speaker 1: punk lawyer. You need a man like me to go
57:44
Speaker 1: to bath for you. Because look what's the brother's name
57:49
Speaker 1: that they just let back in the league. Yeah, and
57:54
Speaker 1: he got to I've learned, you know my lesson. Man,
58:00
Speaker 1: Shut up? You beat that behind. My behind will beat
58:08
Speaker 1: many times. And I'm not too bad. I ain't never
58:12
Speaker 1: been arrested, but that that may change. But you want
58:17
Speaker 1: to arrest me for drugs or for criminal activity, You'll
58:22
Speaker 1: arrest me for speaking truth to power. You'll arrest me
58:28
Speaker 1: for uniting our people, and if necessary, we'll do what
58:34
Speaker 1: is necessary to be done in order to pass on
58:38
Speaker 1: to our next generation the freedom that we've never had
58:43
Speaker 1: and the justice that we've never had. Keep doing what
58:48
Speaker 1: you're doing. The army is rising. And by the way,
58:52
Speaker 1: the dry bones in the valley, when they finally heard
58:56
Speaker 1: the word of God, they stood up what exceedingly great army.
59:03
Speaker 1: So you know this is this is madness. They want
59:06
Speaker 1: to make an example of you because you went to prison.
59:10
Speaker 1: I don't think no man should be the woman, not
59:14
Speaker 1: one of us. Now. I smacked my wife once. She
59:19
Speaker 1: smacked me back, and I never hit that woman again.
59:24
Speaker 1: And we've been married sixty one years. You know, sometime
59:28
Speaker 1: a man can't handle a woman more. Most of them
59:34
Speaker 1: are smarter. They study us, and they can push a
59:39
Speaker 1: button with their tongue that will make you want to
59:43
Speaker 1: go to nut City. Absolutely, but don't do it. Don't
59:48
Speaker 1: be your woman. She is your second self. We got
59:54
Speaker 1: to honor and respect her and lift her. But look
59:59
Speaker 1: at this. My mother whipped me and she would ask
1:00:09
Speaker 1: me did I do A or B? And I would lie,
1:00:13
Speaker 1: so she would beat me for what I did. Didn't
1:00:17
Speaker 1: beat me for Lyne. And there was a little West
1:00:20
Speaker 1: Indian woman from Barbados who used to visit my mother.
1:00:27
Speaker 1: And when they thought I was asleep, of course I
1:00:30
Speaker 1: was listening. So my little I call her a mama
1:00:35
Speaker 1: from Barbados. She said to my mother, Yeah, I'm Mazie.
1:00:43
Speaker 1: You know. I was beating Darnley behind and the boy
1:00:48
Speaker 1: crying out like I was killing me on. The neighbor
1:00:53
Speaker 1: called the police. On the police show up at my door,
1:00:58
Speaker 1: a big Irish cop. I said, come in, we heard
1:01:05
Speaker 1: that there was screaming here. She said, yes, I was
1:01:09
Speaker 1: disciplining my child. And she looked at the Irish cop.
1:01:17
Speaker 1: She said, did your mother beat you? He said, oh, yes, ma'am.
1:01:23
Speaker 1: He said, you see that stick upon your side and
1:01:26
Speaker 1: that gun upon your hip. I beat in mine today,
1:01:30
Speaker 1: so you won't have to beat in with that tomorrow,
1:01:33
Speaker 1: So I won't you starting there while I beat him
1:01:36
Speaker 1: ross And she got that boy out from under the
1:01:40
Speaker 1: bed and beat the hell out of him in the
1:01:42
Speaker 1: presence of the police. So how the hell you're gonna
1:01:45
Speaker 1: tell me I can't beat my child? But if I
1:01:49
Speaker 1: do anything, and even before I do it, you pull
1:01:52
Speaker 1: that damn stick out and rub it all over my
1:01:55
Speaker 1: head and take this to the court. And showed him
1:01:59
Speaker 1: the back of black men and women beaten on the plantation.
1:02:04
Speaker 1: What the hell was that? Don't let these people tell
1:02:11
Speaker 1: you you can't do when that's all they do. But
1:02:16
Speaker 1: don't mistreat your children. Don't beat them out of anger
1:02:22
Speaker 1: and frustration. But sometime a good spanking helps. So these
1:02:30
Speaker 1: white people, and they tell you you shouldn't hit, you
1:02:33
Speaker 1: shouldn't do this. That's why your children ain't worth a
1:02:37
Speaker 1: damn that teachers beating kids in school. That's they beat me.
1:02:44
Speaker 1: When I was coming up, there was corporal punishment. They
1:02:48
Speaker 1: had what they call a rattan. It was a like
1:02:52
Speaker 1: a small piece that looked like bamboo, and they soaked
1:02:58
Speaker 1: it in water. And if I did something wrong, they
1:03:03
Speaker 1: take me in the dressing room and I had to
1:03:05
Speaker 1: put my hands out and they would beat my hands
1:03:08
Speaker 1: with that red tan. Yeah. So look, man, the Bible
1:03:14
Speaker 1: ain't wrong. Don't spare the rod and spoil the child.
1:03:20
Speaker 1: If you have to touch them up, go ahead. I've
1:03:27
Speaker 1: been touched up, and I'm not a bad man, and
1:03:31
Speaker 1: I touched mine up and they're doing all right. Lord,
1:03:37
Speaker 1: I wouldn't let this man tell me a damned thing
1:03:41
Speaker 1: about how to raise children. You know how to make
1:03:46
Speaker 1: a slave. And you made sure you made us afraid
1:03:52
Speaker 1: of you with what you would do to us violently.
1:03:57
Speaker 1: So don't you ever talk to us about not spanking
1:04:02
Speaker 1: our children. And didn't want to bring us into court
1:04:06
Speaker 1: and shame us for using a switch. What did grandma say, Boy,
1:04:13
Speaker 1: go over there? And get that switch off, the chair
1:04:15
Speaker 1: off the tree. Even Charleston, South Carolina. Just now, man, yes, now,
1:04:22
Speaker 1: one of the biggest misconceptions about you, ministers. No, people
1:04:25
Speaker 1: like to say he hates white people, he hates Jewish people.
1:04:30
Speaker 1: Thank you. No, I'm not a hater. I'm not in
1:04:35
Speaker 1: trouble because I hate. If I was a hater of you,
1:04:39
Speaker 1: out to kill a lot of you, did you hear me?
1:04:45
Speaker 1: Go find me anyone that follows me that have killed
1:04:50
Speaker 1: a white person or a jew. What's killing you is
1:04:56
Speaker 1: the truth that's coming out of my mouth. And you
1:04:59
Speaker 1: would like to, hey, somebody or get some fool to
1:05:02
Speaker 1: try and kill me to satisfy you. That's how you
1:05:06
Speaker 1: do black men that you can't buy and you can't bend.
1:05:12
Speaker 1: But don't come this way with that thought about killing
1:05:16
Speaker 1: because you better think real good about that one. And
1:05:21
Speaker 1: I'm taking it all the way up to the President
1:05:23
Speaker 1: of the United States. Think well, because I'm not here
1:05:29
Speaker 1: by myself of myself, there's a God back in me.
1:05:33
Speaker 1: That's why I can talk like I talk without fear.
1:05:37
Speaker 1: Then try me and see if there's a real God
1:05:40
Speaker 1: behind me. What do you think about the president? Because
1:05:44
Speaker 1: we all came. I was in love with my brother
1:05:47
Speaker 1: and I still love him even when he denounced you.
1:05:50
Speaker 1: Oh man, if I hated everybody that denounced man, I
1:05:54
Speaker 1: would being bad shape. People denounce me because it may
1:06:00
Speaker 1: them available to white people. I want a job, man,
1:06:05
Speaker 1: if I denounce Farcon, they may let me in. It
1:06:09
Speaker 1: was Hillary that pressed Barrock to denounce me. He didn't
1:06:17
Speaker 1: want to denounce me. So remember now your time is coming,
1:06:24
Speaker 1: miss Clinton. See how you take it. We are not
1:06:32
Speaker 1: voting for white people just to vote. You mean to
1:06:36
Speaker 1: put your vote in your pocket unless they can show
1:06:40
Speaker 1: you that they're worthy of it, not by playing some saxophone.
1:06:47
Speaker 1: If you can't get justice, you can't get my vote.
1:06:50
Speaker 1: If you can't help me to be better than what
1:06:53
Speaker 1: I am, you can't get my vote. And that's where
1:06:56
Speaker 1: we're gonna teach black people all over America this this
1:07:00
Speaker 1: election season. You're not gonna use us like that. How
1:07:04
Speaker 1: do we trust them? Because you know they're gonna come
1:07:05
Speaker 1: and trust them. You know they're gonna come and talk
1:07:07
Speaker 1: about police reform and tell everything we want to hear
1:07:09
Speaker 1: what police reform exactly body cameras. Oh good, that's what
1:07:13
Speaker 1: they say. Oh yeah. And then hold up just a minute.
1:07:18
Speaker 1: I know you. Yeah, but it looks that way that
1:07:21
Speaker 1: we shot the man all these times in the back.
1:07:23
Speaker 1: It just looks that way. But you gotta be patient
1:07:27
Speaker 1: when till all the facts are in. But you looking
1:07:31
Speaker 1: at me, but we're watching the video. Yeah, understand. No, brother,
1:07:35
Speaker 1: ain't no such thing as training a racist mind to
1:07:40
Speaker 1: love you better. Don't let them sell you that mess.
1:07:46
Speaker 1: Do you know what's going really going on? In nineteen
1:07:50
Speaker 1: fifty six, Elijah Muhammad was in a debate with mister J. B. Stoner,
1:07:58
Speaker 1: the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, and mister
1:08:04
Speaker 1: Muhammad was tanning him up, you know, And then in
1:08:08
Speaker 1: the next round, mister Stoner said, one day soon, we
1:08:17
Speaker 1: won't be wearing this robe and this little dunce hat.
1:08:27
Speaker 1: He said, we'll be in the police department. We'll be judges,
1:08:34
Speaker 1: we'll be prosecutors, we'll be bankers. But we'll all have
1:08:39
Speaker 1: the same mind that we have with these uniforms. On third,
1:08:46
Speaker 1: good Marshal, was he not our first black member of
1:08:50
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court? Before he left, before he died, he said,
1:08:56
Speaker 1: the clan used to wear white. Today they're wearing black.
1:09:03
Speaker 1: What did he mean that? The same racist mind that
1:09:09
Speaker 1: was in that little silly man down in Georgia and
1:09:13
Speaker 1: Alabama and Indiana Tennessee. Now they're in the police department.
1:09:20
Speaker 1: They're in the judges a seat. So now a man,
1:09:25
Speaker 1: what you got a gun in your hand? A man?
1:09:30
Speaker 1: You say, he you didn't know what he had in
1:09:32
Speaker 1: his hand, so you shot him. Do you know what
1:09:37
Speaker 1: would happen if black people started acting like white police
1:09:42
Speaker 1: World War three? Look at this? Just try this picture on.
1:09:47
Speaker 1: I'm a black man, but I own a pistol. I
1:09:51
Speaker 1: see a white man coming towards me in blue say,
1:09:57
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm terrified. What's that that he has
1:10:03
Speaker 1: in his hand? Okay, I go to court. Well, look,
1:10:11
Speaker 1: I'm afraid these white people have been killing us ever
1:10:17
Speaker 1: since we've been in America. So I had my pistol
1:10:22
Speaker 1: and I was just afraid from my life. Try it on.
1:10:26
Speaker 1: I bet you you wouldn't get the first base saying that, Well,
1:10:31
Speaker 1: why would we let them get home? With that man?
1:10:36
Speaker 1: We got to wake up as a people. Thank you
1:10:39
Speaker 1: for allowing me on your shoe. Brother, Now we appreciate you.
1:10:43
Speaker 1: I do I want more? I got like two more questions. Okay,
1:10:46
Speaker 1: but I mean I've never spoken so serious. No, no,
1:10:49
Speaker 1: this is good. Yeah. When when Kanye was on the
1:10:51
Speaker 1: Brethas Club, he said he's doing a documentary about you
1:10:53
Speaker 1: because he wants to help change some of the misconceptions
1:10:55
Speaker 1: about you. Oh tonight may have really misconception back. But
1:11:01
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you. I don't hate Jews, nor do
1:11:04
Speaker 1: I hate white people. I hate what they do when
1:11:10
Speaker 1: they don't treat us right. And that person is the
1:11:17
Speaker 1: person we deal with. That's not bad. All white people
1:11:24
Speaker 1: haven't done that. But I say to white people, look,
1:11:28
Speaker 1: you didn't do it. They said, yeah, that's right. We
1:11:33
Speaker 1: didn't have nothing to do with slavery. Yeah, but because
1:11:37
Speaker 1: of slavery, when you immigrants came here, America was already
1:11:43
Speaker 1: built with the blood the sweat of my ancestors. So
1:11:50
Speaker 1: you got what you got because your fathers gave us
1:11:55
Speaker 1: what they gave us. And since you got here, an
1:12:00
Speaker 1: America has been the American dream for you, coming out
1:12:04
Speaker 1: of Europe, coming out of Italy, Germany, Russia, wherever you
1:12:09
Speaker 1: came from. This is your heaven, but it has been
1:12:19
Speaker 1: our hell. So when Harry Belafonte was with Doctor King,
1:12:29
Speaker 1: and Doctor King looked very melancholy, and sad Harry Belafanti
1:12:36
Speaker 1: went to him and said, Martin, why are you so melancholy?
1:12:44
Speaker 1: Everybody else seems to be in such a good spirit,
1:12:47
Speaker 1: you know. And mister Bellafante said that Doctor King said,
1:12:54
Speaker 1: I fear that I am of grading my people into
1:13:02
Speaker 1: a burning house. So all those of you who are
1:13:09
Speaker 1: thinking about ten ten fifteen, the twentieth anniversary of the
1:13:16
Speaker 1: Million Man March, and you would like to coming and
1:13:21
Speaker 1: join us. It's not fair Khan alone. It's black pastors.
1:13:27
Speaker 1: I may lose them. I don't know what this broadcast.
1:13:32
Speaker 1: But if I lost you, I never had you. If
1:13:36
Speaker 1: I gained the youth, I got it all. And that's
1:13:40
Speaker 1: what God said. If you remember with those old people
1:13:46
Speaker 1: who loved Egypt, and when Joshua was spied out the
1:13:52
Speaker 1: new land, the old one said, we're not going in
1:13:57
Speaker 1: as long as them giants are in there. So you
1:14:00
Speaker 1: go and get them giants out of that land and
1:14:03
Speaker 1: we'll go in. That God didn't like that, so he
1:14:09
Speaker 1: allowed them to wander in the wilderness for forty years
1:14:14
Speaker 1: until the elders died out, and he said, I'll take
1:14:18
Speaker 1: your children and they will inhabit the Promised Land and
1:14:24
Speaker 1: the last day of doctor King's life. I want you
1:14:33
Speaker 1: to remember, brothers and sisters. They didn't kill doctor King
1:14:37
Speaker 1: because he had a dream. Excuse me, somebody sending me
1:14:48
Speaker 1: a note. Didn't I say he died peacefully? Oh Dutch
1:14:59
Speaker 1: show it was Maya landscape or there's cousins. Thank you
1:15:05
Speaker 1: for correcting me. Brother, No Dutch shots was killed, but
1:15:14
Speaker 1: Maya Lanski was a heck of a criminal and he
1:15:18
Speaker 1: died peacefully. But let me let me get to my
1:15:22
Speaker 1: point now. The night that my brother gave his last speech,
1:15:32
Speaker 1: this is what they quote tonight. I'm not fearing any
1:15:41
Speaker 1: man because I've been to the mountaintop and I've looked
1:15:49
Speaker 1: over and I've seen the promised land. I may not
1:15:55
Speaker 1: get there with you, but we as a people will
1:16:00
Speaker 1: get to the promised Land. In that year of his life,
1:16:07
Speaker 1: he talked against the war in Vietnam. The government was
1:16:12
Speaker 1: angry with him. But let's back up. On that same night,
1:16:19
Speaker 1: this is what he said to his audience. He said,
1:16:25
Speaker 1: we don't need to talk bad. We don't need to
1:16:30
Speaker 1: shoot guns or throw malato cocktails. Elijah Muhammad said the
1:16:37
Speaker 1: same thing. All we need to do is come into
1:16:42
Speaker 1: unity and fire the cannon of our unity. Doctor King said,
1:16:56
Speaker 1: when we are in pain, we have to read distribute
1:17:04
Speaker 1: the pain. What do you mean, doctor King, he said,
1:17:10
Speaker 1: tonight in Memphis, m M. He said, don't buy Coca
1:17:19
Speaker 1: cola in Memphis. Don't buy sealed tests ice cream in Memphis.
1:17:32
Speaker 1: He said, what's the name of that bread, Jesse? Then
1:17:37
Speaker 1: he said wonder bread. And the other bread hots bread.
1:17:42
Speaker 1: He said, don't buy it. Once we are in pain,
1:17:48
Speaker 1: let's redistribute the pain. Not with Molotov cocktails. But we
1:17:56
Speaker 1: have one point three trillion dollars coming in into our
1:18:00
Speaker 1: hands that they want in their pockets. If we deny
1:18:05
Speaker 1: it to them, we will give them pain. Doctor King
1:18:09
Speaker 1: was telling us, take your money out of the white
1:18:12
Speaker 1: man's bank and put it in your own bank. We
1:18:17
Speaker 1: have insurance companies here in Memphis. Go and take out
1:18:23
Speaker 1: insurance with your own. Then he was killed that same night.
1:18:33
Speaker 1: They were plotting on his life and they killed him.
1:18:39
Speaker 1: And after they assassinated him, they started doctoring his image
1:18:46
Speaker 1: because they wanted to leave us with Martin Luther King
1:18:50
Speaker 1: as a dreamer. So everything they said about him was
1:18:58
Speaker 1: his speech in six to three, but not his speech
1:19:03
Speaker 1: in sixty seven in sixty eight. Can I read you
1:19:08
Speaker 1: what he said to SCLC in nineteen sixty seven, five
1:19:22
Speaker 1: months before he was assassinated, maybe six or seven months.
1:19:27
Speaker 1: Hurry and bring it to me, a brother, ju, I
1:19:40
Speaker 1: want to quote something from our brother. And I would
1:19:46
Speaker 1: hope that you young brothers who only know doctor King
1:19:52
Speaker 1: as a dreamer. I have a dream, but he woke up.
1:20:00
Speaker 1: His dream was a nightmare. Listen to what he said.
1:20:06
Speaker 1: And I'd like to give you young people an assignment.
1:20:11
Speaker 1: If you're coming to the twentieth anniversary, I want you
1:20:16
Speaker 1: to take some time and read the speeches of Martin
1:20:23
Speaker 1: Luther King in the last year of his life. And
1:20:30
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King will grow you up into a reality.
1:20:37
Speaker 1: And then we who are alive today will take you
1:20:42
Speaker 1: where we believe doctor King would have taken you. Remember
1:20:48
Speaker 1: I spied the promise, not sky Land. Listen to this.
1:20:58
Speaker 1: Doctor King was quoting Hugo Victor Hugo, and Victor Hugo said,
1:21:07
Speaker 1: if the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed.
1:21:14
Speaker 1: The guilty one is not he who commits the sin,
1:21:20
Speaker 1: but he who causes the darkness. The policy makers of
1:21:28
Speaker 1: the white society have caused the darkness. This is doctor King.
1:21:34
Speaker 1: They created discrimination, they created slums, They perpetuate unemployment, ignorance,
1:21:45
Speaker 1: and poverty. It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have
1:21:52
Speaker 1: committed crimes, but they are derivative crimes. They are born
1:21:59
Speaker 1: of the greater crimes of the white society. But there's
1:22:04
Speaker 1: another sentence here that should be with this when he
1:22:09
Speaker 1: said that the crimes that black people commit in a
1:22:16
Speaker 1: few days of rioting sinks into nothingness when you consider
1:22:25
Speaker 1: the hardened criminal activity that is used against our people.
1:22:31
Speaker 1: So I want to thank you, brother, and thank you
1:22:39
Speaker 1: of the Charlemagne and my sister Angela. I hope that
1:22:45
Speaker 1: I didn't, you know, disturb the peace of it's beautiful
1:22:57
Speaker 1: breakfast club. I can't apologize for telling the truth, but
1:23:06
Speaker 1: I'm filled with passion and hurt because I don't want
1:23:12
Speaker 1: us to pass on this condition to another generation that
1:23:18
Speaker 1: have to argue and fight with white people for nothing.
1:23:24
Speaker 1: If we're going to fight for something, let's get some
1:23:27
Speaker 1: of this earth that we can call our own. And remember,
1:23:32
Speaker 1: they promised us forty acres and a mule, and it
1:23:37
Speaker 1: was only four to five million of us then Now
1:23:41
Speaker 1: I think over forty acres with five million people, that's
1:23:48
Speaker 1: two hundred million acres of land. Not with a mule today.
1:23:56
Speaker 1: But ye'll take the land. They can keep the mule. Yeah,
1:23:58
Speaker 1: we take the tractors. But the point is every promise
1:24:05
Speaker 1: they made to us, they rent it. So can we
1:24:11
Speaker 1: listen to their words and and believe I don't think so.
1:24:17
Speaker 1: Whatever we can get through the power of our unity,
1:24:22
Speaker 1: that you can believe in because with our unity will
1:24:26
Speaker 1: never have to fire a shot. Our unity will be
1:24:30
Speaker 1: able to give us the power to exercise that will
1:24:35
Speaker 1: get us the justice that we see. Thank you, Thank you.
1:24:41
Speaker 1: There you have it. The Breakfast Club, the Honorable, that's right,
