Speaker 1 (00:23):
Today's Monday, March thirteen, twenty twenty three, Coming up on
Roland Martin Unfield to extreaming live on the Blackstar Network.
A major bank in Silicon Valley goes under So why
are Republicans white Republicans Wall Street Journal? Why are they
trying to blame this on diversity? Yes, it is beyond laughable.

(00:43):
Will tell you how the shutdown of this Silicon Valley
bank is the latest attempt by white conservatives to blame
woke for everything. Vice President of Kamala Harras not returning
the phone called from say Elizabeth Warren, who's trying to
apologize after she, let's just say, did not given in
the worspent two Harris being on the ticket in two

(01:06):
thousand and twenty four. What the hell is up with
Democrats in their infatuation with trying to replace Vice President
of Harris. Will break this thing down on today's show.
Also a reuber of the Arizona geologist who went missing.
He's been missing for six hundred and twenty eight days.
We're give an update on the case of Daniel Robinson. Also,
the FDA released two twenty one supplemental hate crime report

(01:29):
showing an almost twelve percent surge in the hate crimes
in America. I told you about those white domestic terrorsts. Also,
the Academy Awards took place last night. A lot of
people up. Saint Angela Basson did not win. Ruth Carter
become the first black woman to win two oscars. Will
show you and of course Jimmy Kim will get addressed

(01:50):
to slap. It took place last year between Chris Rock
and Will Smith. Y'all in, it's time to bring the funk.
I'm rolland Mark unfilter. I'm a black start network. Let's go.
He's whatever the bess. He's on it, whatever it is.
He's got the school, the fact, the fine and when
the briefs, he's right on top of this rolling best belief.

(02:12):
He's going putting it down. He lost the news to politics.
Would entertainment just bookcase. He's stolling rolling, y'all, it's rolling
Martell rolling with rolling. Now he's booky Spress, she's real

(02:37):
the bession though, he's rolling Martell Martell. All right. So,
first Democrats were whining about whether or not President Joe
Biden should be on the ticket. Now Democrats are complaining, well,

(03:01):
should be vice president Kamala Harris Seril. Lizabeth Warren did
an interview with the Boston radio station a few weeks
ago where she was asked the question and will let's
just say she sort of created a whole drama by
not giving it reading endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris. Listen,
I really want to defer what makes Biden comfortable on

(03:25):
his team. I've known Kamala for a long time. I
like Kamala. I knew her back when she was when
she was an attorney general and I was still teaching,
and we worked on the housing prices together, so we
go way back. But they need they have to be
a team. In my senses, they are. I don't mean
that by suggesting I think there are any problems. I

(03:46):
think they are. Well. Apparently Warren has been apologizing she's
now plays phone calls to the vice president. The VP's
chief of staff has returned the phone call. Harris has
not actually returned her phone call. Warren did issue in
a statement, this is after the interview with the Boston

(04:08):
National Public Radio quote, I fully support the president's and
Vice president's re election together and never intended to imply otherwise.
They're a terrific team with a strong record of delivering
for working families. It's going to be a panel about this.
Doctor Julia Melbo, dean in the College of Ethnic Studies,
California State, University of Los Angeles. I'm a congo to
being a prophetsorial lecture School of International Service, American University.

(04:31):
NDA Shannon, former Georgians that representative. Okay, I don't understand
what the hell's going on here, Julian Well, I've been
saying this for the longest. Democrats need to shut the
hell up. Accept the fact that Joe Biden, yes, will
be eighty two years old when he runs. He is
going to be the Democratic nominee period. Vice President Kamala

(04:53):
Harris is going to be the VP nominee period. Democrats,
It's just it's just dumb. The if they're going back
and forth on this, that's what it is accepted. Move on,
focus on beating the Republicans next year. Democrats have a
tendency to shoot themselves in the foot. We do it
over and over and over again, and this is a

(05:15):
prime example of that. Elizabeth Warden didn't need to say anything.
All she could say once she say to her statement,
you know I support the ticket, but instead she's going
down the Mulberry bush and she's really wrong. I appreciate her,
you know, from her economic populism for a number of
other things, but I just think this was a wrong

(05:35):
statement to make at a time when Democrats are vulnerable,
are shooting themselves in the foot. So I don't know
why she did it, but she did it, and now
she's trying to apologize, and that's called too much, too little,
too late. There are a coterie of black women surrounding
Vice President Harris, and we're not fooling with these fools

(05:56):
who continue to disrespect her, and that includes us a reward.
We can You cannot disrespect black women and think that
it's okay. And so she can say whatever she has
to say. The comment was disrespectful and if I was Kamala,
I would be calling her back either. It's simply to
meum congo, a complete waste of time. She is going

(06:21):
to be the nominee, and my whole deal is answer
to damn question. It's just like what all of these
Democrats were asked last year, you know, will you endorsed
President Joe Biden? And then people are like, well, we'll see.
How are you talking about This man is trying to
be president for his entire career. You think he's gonna
voluntarily give up the most powerful officer in the world.

(06:42):
Ain't gonna happen. He's running, barring anything health wise, He's running.
She's running. Democrats, suck it up. And quite honestly, it's
really frustrating because it actually it's bringing me back to
the whole situation with Obama and Hillary when Democrats got
into a big fight at the hotel and people were
talking about, oh, I'm not going to vote for Obama

(07:04):
and all of that, and Democrats almost shot themselves in
the foot that time, and doctor Marvo was talking about
and so we're seeing a situation now where it's not
like this is Biden and Harris running for the first time.
They are already there. I heard someone talking about, well,
vice President Harris hasn't accomplished us. What is the vice
president supposed to accomplish? What is Mike Pence accomplished when
he was vice president? They're throwing all of these dicks

(07:26):
and rolling. The Republican Party is so vulnerable right now
that Democrats they're jumping on this this nonsense about Biden's age,
even though so many young people in the party support
a man like Bernie Sanders, for example, while nobody's talking
about Trump's age on the Republican side, and they're also
looking at whether vice president is going to be dumped

(07:48):
going into the second election. But quite honestly, rolling we
have seen this before and we're gonna continue to see it.
And what Elizabeth Warren then she kind of blew the
lid off of what many of these people in the
Democratic Party are thinking. And I do believe that at
the end of the day, this can really cost us
an opportunity to really win back the House in the
next election if we spend all of this time fighting.

(08:09):
She is already there, She's doing an incredible job, and
she represents the number one constituency for the Democratic Party.
So putting out any nonsense suggesting that she shouldn't be there,
we don't care how far black you knew, or when
y'all are teaching, and all of this when you are teaching,
and all of this nonsense fall in line like the
Republicans do going into twenty twenty four. But Roland, lastly,

(08:31):
I will say, I think they also fear her being
the face of the party running for president in twenty
twenty eight. So they're starting to just throw more shade
right now, and it's got to stop this real simp
or you can't focus on twenty eight until you win
in twenty four. So shut the hell up. Put all
of your energy into raising money, building a where it

(08:52):
is talking about your accomplishments. And the reality is this here.
Let's just be real clear. Nobody is out there voting
for the vice president. They're voting for the president. I
don't care whether you're Republican or your Democrat. Well, I
think that this situation is actually not really about Elizabeth Warren.
I think this is about a concerted effort that we've
seen from the media to pretty much tell us every

(09:13):
single week or every time we see any article printed
about Kamala that she's not doing a good job, She's
not doing anything. Where has she been. I mean, we
almost never see any articles about the actual work that
she is doing. It's just always a constant stream of
chipping away at her and expecting more from her than
we've ever expected of any vice president. I mean, to
your point, Roland, most people can't even remember the names

(09:35):
of Vice presidents who have served in the past, and
so Kamala has done what she's supposed to do as
a vice president. And I really think that this is
more of the media just continuing to print things, and
I don't know who is exactly behind it. It feels
so concerted and so organized. It just really feels like
that's what they're trying to do. But I will say this,
we do have soft We do have softness on the left. Okay,

(09:57):
so Biden does need to do things policy. Why we
cannot just tell people to shut up and vote because
that is going to have us lose elections. So there
are things that on the policy side that do need
to get fixed. We saw what happened with overturning working
him working with the Senate to overturn pretty much a
criminal justice reform that was done in DC. So we
have real issues that do need to be snaked out.

(10:18):
This is not one of them. What VP Harris has
done that is not an issue. And I really wish
media would stop with this concerted attack because it's really
showing a black tax on her that we've never seen
any other vice president have to deal with. Yeah, but
there are no media attacks if you don't have Democrats
who if they stopped talking about it, then there're those stories.
I mean, that's what the real problem is. And so

(10:40):
I just think, to me, it's just it's just dumb.
So like, really move the hill on. All right, folks,
I gotta go to break. We come back. White couservatives
all my goodness. I keep telling y'all while we're route
my book Wife Field. Now they're trying to blame diversity
for the two banks shutting down, including one in Silicon Valley.
Wait until I show you what was in this Wall
Street Journal art. These people are unly hilarious, as if

(11:04):
white men have not been destroying the country and destroying
banks all of these years. Well, I'll tell you next.

(12:11):
of these corporations or people that are running stuff push
black people if they're doing a certain thing. What that
does is it creates a butterfly effect of any young
kid who you know, wants to leave any situation they're in,
and the only people they see your people that are
doing this, or I gotta be a gangster, I gotta shoot,
I gotta sell, I gotta do this in order to
do it, and it becomes a cyclable when someone comes

(12:32):
around is making another oh we don't do you know,
they don't want to push her to put money into it.
So that's definitely something I'm trying to fix. Twos, you
show those other avenues. You don't gotta be rapping, You're
gonna be a ball player, it could be the country scene.
You're gonna be an oppersent, or you're gonna be a
dam whatever. You know. Showing the different avenues not as possible,
and it's hard for people to realize as possible to
someone done. Next on the Black Table with me Greg

(13:06):
car we featured the brand new work a Professor Angie Porter,
which simply put is a revolutionary reframing of the African
experience in this country. It's the one legal article everyone
and I mean everyone should read. Professor Porter and Doctorvlipia Watkins,
our Legal Roundtable team, join us to explore the paper

(13:28):
that I guarantee is going to prompt a major aha
mood in our culture. You crystallize it by saying, who
are we to other people? Who are African people to others?
Governance is our thing? Who are we to each other?
The structures we create for ourselves, how we order the

(13:49):
universes African people? That's next on the Black table. Here
on the black start. Hi, I'm elder, yel piece, world
was going on? And Si left King of r B.
Why he divine? And you're watching Roland Martin unfelted. All right, folks, um,

(14:15):
let's just be clear what's going on here. You got
this bank that shut down in Silicon Valley. The fans
are trying to actually auction it off. But over the
weekend we have seen these conservatives this Silicon Valley talking
about Silicon Valley bank blaming diversity. Now you had corn

(14:36):
spend James Coleman unfoxed duds. Guys, if y'all have the
sound bite, let me know where he was like, oh,
k was because they were woke. They were so busy
focusing on being woke. Just stupid, just stupid. So the
Wall Street Journal actually puts this nonsense in the article.

(15:02):
It's it is. I mean, if you if you want
to just show you see just dumb folk, let me
just read this comment here, y'all, which is nuts. And
again I told y'all when I wrote my book White Fear,
what was going on? What was happening? What these people
are doing? So they want to blame everything for diversity.

(15:26):
And when I say everything, I literally mean everything. So
this is what this idiot writes to the Wall Street
Journal was their regulatory failure. Perhaps SVB was regulated like
a bank but looked more like a money market fund.
Then there's this. In its proxy statement, SVB notes that

(15:48):
besides ninety one percent of their board being independent and
forty five percent women, they also have one black, one LGBTQ,
and two veterans. I'm not saying twelve white men would
have avoided this mess, but the company may have been

(16:11):
distracted by diversity demands. Really, now, the person who wrote this,
because I think this was an opinion column, and so
I think it's worthy of us telling everybody exactly what

(16:35):
his name is, and it is Adam Kessler. That's who
this is. That's who the writer is. And y'all he
actually wrote that. Now, mind you, it's not just him,
but there are a number of other people out here. Again,
as I said, over the weekend, you heard several people
echoing that, oh they were they were a whooped bank,

(16:59):
they were a wolf bank. This to me a a
congo shows the consistent stupidity of these people, as if
we have not seen numerous banks in American history just collapse.

(17:19):
The economy all because of smart as white men or
want of these smart white men. So I mean, people,
I keep telling people, get used to more of this
because they want to blame everything on diversity. Yep. Most
and I see it every company I speak at when

(17:40):
I'm talking to employees and they're talking about their issues,
people feeling like because they represent diversity in the organization,
they are blamed for problems that are happening. This type
of diversity fatigue, but was also shameful is the selective
memory and the short term memory, because as far as
I can tell, there wasn't a lot of diversity in
two thousand and eight when we have the Great Recession

(18:02):
and these banks have been running to the ground and
people deemed them too big to fail. Historically, these banks
have been run by white men, the majority of which
the majority of white men have run these banks, and
so they want to forget that. They want to completely
act like none of that ever happened. And really, at
the end of the day, they're also talking about the
fact that we need to start getting rid of this

(18:22):
woke idea, but they never define woke. And that's why
every time you say it rolling, you're saying it in
a way like you guys are just fools just by
taking the slang term and making it policy. So whatever happens,
if there's an issue with the airlines, it's woke. If
there's an issue with infrastructure, it's woke. And if it's
an issue with schools, it's woke. And if it's an
issue with the banks, it's woke these guys, And just

(18:44):
like what we see with the Republicans in the House,
all they have is cultural wars and slang terms such
as Wolke Florida where Wolke comes to die. They have
no real knowledge. So we have to continue to hold
their feet to the fire, and we cannot let them
forget the path. We can't let them forget that two
thousand and eight happen. And again we can't forget that
every single what about Bernie Bernie made Off. I mean,

(19:07):
the list goes on and on about situations and banks
and organizations and companies that have failed that will run
by white men and left the majority of people who
are part of their company out to dry. And so
we have to call it out because if we don't
call it out, who will. Um His name is Andy Kessler,

(19:27):
Randa and it's just stupid. And and and again, these
white folks are absolutely crazy. I mean, they just want
to throw Oh yeah, it's it's woke. That's it. It's woke.
That's it. Oh so oh climate change, oh woke. Oh
let's see here. Um, oh that's right. The rail car

(19:50):
accident in Ohio. Oh that was woke. Um let's see here. Um,
why did the Philadelphia Eagles not We're in a prowl?
Damn it there two woke. These people are nuts, absolutely,
But you know, I'm a congo hit the nail on

(20:11):
the head about what's really going on. I'm going to
extend what he was saying if he doesn't mind. But
there are reasons that they are doing this, and the
number one reason is because they have the most to
lose by not blaming it own woke. Just like I'm
a congo mentioned, when you talk about diversity and making
sure that these boards are diverse, diversity never means adding
more straight white Christian men. That's not something that we

(20:34):
have too much of anywhere, whether you talk about government,
where you talk about these bank boards, whatever it is,
that does not mean adding more straight white men. Second
thing is is that I think they also are trying
to distract from the general public again looking at these
banks fail and watching the government rush to their defense
to bail them out. And so what they don't want

(20:54):
to have happiness for the general public to get riled
up again and realize that banks always want to private
highs profit, but they want to socialize losses, and so
they have a lot of incentive to pretty much try
to distract the public and blame it on anything other
than what it actually is. And last, but not least,
I'm not surprised that folks like Rond de Santists are
blaming it on woke and this guy who wrote the article,

(21:15):
because Republicans, that is a part of what they what
used to be a part of their consistent what they
would work for legislatively, is to make sure that there
are no regulations and that the banks and that everything
is allowed to run with unfettered capitalism. Of course, unless
you actually need to bail out for something, then it's hey,
let's involve the government more. And so they are the
ones with the most to lose in this, and so

(21:36):
this is all really just a distraction. These folks here,
Julian are so laughable because oh yeah, then I'm not
saying twelve white men. First of all, look at the
senior leadership of this bank, white men, white men, white men,

(21:58):
white men, white men, white men, white men, and white men.
Oh but now it's the board or the boards diverse,
So that covey one of the reasons go to hell,
Andy Kessler, you know, Roland. The thing about this bank's
failure is that they failed because they had poor management practices.

(22:19):
So you look at the CEO of the bank, you
look at the board. What did they do? They lint
money that they borrow money at a very low interest rate,
and interest rates rose, so they were losing money. That's
number one. Number two, they were heavily invested in the
tech sector, and you know diverse, you know diverse, diversify

(22:40):
your holdings. They did not do that. They're heavily invested
in tech, and as tech got shaky, so did they.
And number three, I mean, I don't even know where
they get this woke stuff from. First of all, the
word woke has been abused. It's not whether you woke,
it's what you do when you get out of bed.
So all these people talking, we don't like progressives, we

(23:03):
don't like diversity, We don't like critical raise theory, we
don't like black studies, and so we all woke. Nope.
But if you look at this bank and look at
what they did, they have poor business practices, and those
poor business practices came down and bait them in the booty.
Not only they have poor business practices, but then they
put out a call, we got to raise two billion

(23:25):
dollars or we're gonna be in trouble. When you say that,
guess what you do? You cause a run on your bank.
There are other ways to raise the money if they
needed to raise the money, because basically the FED requires
you to have based on how many loans you have,
you have to have so many reserves. And basically they
accept they bake their own cake when they put it
out there, we got to raise all this money. They're

(23:45):
basic depositors like, oh wait a minute, now, maybe I
better move my money. And that's what people did. So
the this andy, whatever his name is, he obviously has
no discernment and it has no economic analytical skills, because
if he did, he was said, why did this bank?
Fill had nothing whatsoever to do with any kind of diversity.

(24:08):
And again, as both Chicago and NITA have said, if
you look at the history of bank failures, black people
have that been run those banks. LGBTQIA people have not
bi rend those banks. We love about white people, right men.
To be exact, Here's a video. Here's a video Ronda
saying his wighing in this fool but Governor, I want

(24:29):
to get your take on what appears to be another
emergency unfolding this morning, and that is around this Silicon
Valley Bank and its failure. You took on the insurance
crisis in Florida last year, tackling what was becoming a
property insurance issue, or how worried are you about Florida

(24:49):
banks and the potential for a run on these banks
with the Silicon Valley failure. So I don't have any
specific information about any any Florida bank similar to Silicon
Valley Bank, and hopefully that remains the case. You know,
Maria just appears to me, I mean this bank, they're
so concerned with d ei and politics and all kinds

(25:11):
of stuff. I think that really diverted from them focusing
on their core mission. I also look at it and say,
we have such a morass of federal regulations. We have
a massive federal bureaucracy, and yet they never seem to
be able to be there when we need them to
be able to prevent something like two things. Two things

(25:35):
for this dumb ass RONA stands, don't know jack about
this bank, don't know jack about d EI or anything.
Two the laws were they were actually loosened under Donald Trump.
Dodd Frank was loosened, making what took place possible. But

(25:57):
that's what happens when you read, y'all. I keep telling
y'all what these people are trying to do. They want
to attack any advance of people of color in this country,
and they're going to continue this nonsense. And we better
be prepared for this battle. I gotta go to the break.
We'll be back. Roland Martin Filter on the Black Star Network.

(26:22):
On the next Get Wealthy with me jefer Owens, America's
wealth Coach. We've seen the headline major tech companies laying
off Google, Facebook, Twitter, just to name a few, and
tens of thousands have been laid off as a result.
On the next Get Wealthy, we take a look at
what it means to recession through your career in tech.

(26:47):
Joining me will be Knnique October and She's going to
be sharing exactly what you need to do to turn
anxiety into achievement. Shifting our mindset to thinking that only
opportunities us and big tech is something that we're going
to have to like shift fast because there are so
many opportunities that are out there that we have to

(27:08):
change the way we were thinking about our careers. That's
right here, on to Get Wealthy, only on black Star Network.
On the next, A Balance Life with Me, Doctor Jackie's
just who do you think you are? And maybe more importantly,
who is it that you think you're trying to please?
The answer to that second question is really wrapped up

(27:31):
in the first think about that being the true authentic you,
no matter the circumstance. But we learn the art of forgiveness,
not only a forgiving one another, but forgiving ourselves, and
we also learn how to love ourselves so that we
can love each other. That's next on A Balanced Life
here on black Star Network. Put up a chair, take

(27:52):
your seat the black Tea with me, Doctor Greencar here
on the black Star Network. Every week we'll take a
deeper dive into the world we're living in. Join the conversation.
Only on the black Star Network. Hey, I'm Dan Cole
from Blackness. What's up? I'm lands Gross and you're watching

(28:14):
Roland Martin unfilter. All right, fam, we keep telling y'all
about these I hate crimes or The FBI has offered
some details with regards to two thousand and twenty one.

(28:35):
It is called the Supplemental Report, showing that the hate
crimes in the Nited States rose by eleven point six
percent of two twenty one incidents rose from seven thousand,
two hundred and sixty two and the first support to
ten thousand, eight hundred and forty in the revised version,
up from eight thousand, two hundred and sixty three. The
data was released by the FBI in October and contained

(28:57):
gaps because only fifty two percent of US law enforcement
agencies reported a full twelve months of twenty twenty one information.
The Associate at Trained General Bernina Gupta, each of the
following statement preventing investigating and prosecuting hate crimes or top
priorities for the Justice Department, and reporting is key to

(29:18):
each of those priorities. The FBI Supplemental Report demonstrates our
unwavering commitment to work with our state and local partners
to increase reporting and provide a more complete picture of
hate crimes nationwide. We will not stop here. We are
continuing to work with state and local law enforcement agencies
across the country to increase the reporting of hate crime

(29:39):
statistics to the FBI. Hate crimes and the devastation they
cause communities have no place in this country. The Justice
Department is committed to every tool and resource at our
disposal to combat bias motivated violence in all its forms.
The FBI track the ninety six cities across sixteen states
to identify statistically significant trends. But I guess this just

(30:02):
sort of just blows out the water, Ranita, all of
these idiots who say, oh, no, everything is great and wonderful.
Hate crimes or issues of race, it's not a big deal, absolutely,
and it's actually scarier than we all realize because the
way it works is that hate crimes are defined in law.

(30:22):
But most states Georgia for example, and most states in
the country, and I'm sure I don't even know if
the federal level actually does this, but most states do
not actually define what is anti black racism. They don't
define what is racism, and so for a hate crime
to even be reported and be classified as a hate crime.
There has to be something that was involved in the
crime that shows that there was a bias against a

(30:45):
specific community. So you have things take place all the
time that we know or communities know that these are
hate crimes, but because there was no obvious bias, it's
not classified as a hate crime. For example, Emmett Tial's murder,
the death the murder of Emmett Tials never classified as
a hate crime. Everyone knows that that was a hate crime,
and so these numbers are actually low, and so things
are actually scarier than what is even being reported. Look,

(31:11):
we continue to explain to people Julian bad the reality
of racism in America is still alive and well. We
reported on the d J getting convictions. Last meeting was
a white man burning across in the yard of his neighbors,
trying to intimidate them. We can go on and on
and on. These things are still real in this country,

(31:34):
no matter what white folks say. Still real. But there's
also a state of denial. There's so many white people
in particular, but there are others. I mean, you will
find some black conservatives. Oh no, are you sure that
was a hate crime? Maybe it was just an altercation.
The fact is that racism is alive and well, and
anti blackness has basically increased at an exponential level in

(31:59):
the last a few years after the Orange Man basically
gave people permission to say and do things they would
not have said and done before. The FBI report is useful,
but would be even more useful would be if the
Department of Justice would do a better job and investigating
and shutting down some of these hey crimes. I'm really pleased.

(32:20):
I think you had whitesaw cursing Clark on somebody's air.
I think we had her on but somebody's air talking
about Louisville and the seventy or ninety page document they
delivered that talked about the bias of the problems with
their police department. But that's the tip of the iceberg.
These things are happening all over the country, and the

(32:41):
fact is that while people deny anti blackness, they rebel
in the white supremacy that it is. So we've seen
I remember when they said that we're black domestic terrorists, Well, no,
no one has been able to document that. We do document,
and we know that they're a white domestic terrorists who

(33:04):
basically get a pass most of the time. Look, these
things are still real here on the Congo, and it's
important to report the stats, but it's also important for
people to understand that hate exists. Is that the FBI
has been clear the greatest threat in this country continues

(33:26):
to be white domestic terrorist. And let's be honest with
the fact that that came from the FBI headed by
Christopher Ray, who was a trumpet pointe. So for people
to say this is just a democratic going back to
our last segment, woke idea, na, NA, absolutely not. And
we have to understand that sixty five percent. And this
is where everybody who's like not part of Black America

(33:49):
really needs to get on the bandwagon and understand this,
because consistently black people are number one. No matter how
much they hate, crimes increase. But when you look at
the stats, sixty five percent of the attacks were based
on race, ethnicity, ancestry bias, so that could be Black, Jewish, Asian,
and so on and so forth. But the other thirty
five percent of these crimes Roland were also related to

(34:12):
things related to sexual orientation, related to physical ability or
what people call it disability, gender bias and the like,
and we see what's happening with our people off in
our trans community, as as members of the government of
the Republican Party actively working across the country to ban
trans people in every way, shape or form or get
rid of other things like drag crean races and parties

(34:34):
and things like that. So it's it's even though we
are the number one target and we keep coming for us. First,
people who have not been fighting actively to stop hate
crimes need to understand that it's only a matter of
time before they come for your group. Sales of guns
within the Asian community started to rise exponentially throughout the

(34:55):
COVID pandemic as Trump and his cronies were put were
blaming them for the quote unquote come flu and other
type of ignorant urns. Many who I listen to us
in that community said, we never thought it was gonna
happen to us. Nobody in this country should feel that
they are going to get a pass or that they
are going to be immune. Learn from what has happened
to us, and let's continue to partner and work together.

(35:17):
They fight these groups and call them out and make
sure that they get prosecuted because like doctor King said,
you can't legislate morality, but you can regulate behavior. We
need to get them off the streets, incarcerated, in prison,
out of their jobs wherever they are out there lurking,
and come together and fight this because nobody's said. Bottom

(35:38):
line here Ranida that the the most the focus on
attacks are gonna be about race, period. I mean, it's
the rally is it's going to be about race. That's
where the attacks are going to be. Well and I mean,
but to Ama Congo's point, we are seeing increasing attacks

(36:00):
for the trans community, um for LGBTQ community. So like
a Congo said, we're all in this together. We are
all you know. Race are some of the oldest attacks,
and of course they are ongoing, and a lot of
that is because of the refusal of the dj and
other federal agencies to really take white domestic extremism um
for the white domestic terrorism seriously in the way that

(36:23):
they should. And the more that we allow this sort
of cancer to just fester within our country, the more
and more we the more and more we see that
hate crimes will just go unchecked. Julian Uh. The reason
the reason I say race is always going to be
at the top because you know it is always being here. Yes,

(36:46):
you're seeing increases in other areas, but the bottom line
is we are the default for America absolutely all. The
Congo is right when he points out that there are
all kinds of hate crimes and they don't all have
anything to do with black people. But we are America's
original sin, and we can go through history. We don't

(37:08):
have to call the role of the recent killings of
black people by police. We can go all the way
back to our history. We can look at economic violence
and the lynchings that occurred. People have used our race
to excuse their ways to oppress. I mean reading this
historical stuff now, I don't know why, just to make
myself crazy, but when you look at some of the stuff,

(37:30):
the ways that black people have been treated systematically, and
the people who pick those attitudes up and continue to
deal with them. So I don't really care that much
about old racists. They're gonna die. But when you get
a twenty year old, thirty year old who's talking the
same crap that their grandfathers are talking, that lets you
know how persistent anti blackness is. And it's not just

(37:53):
anti Asian anti gay is anti blackness at the root
and the rest of it. If we're the root, the
rest of it, our branches on the tree. But they
get away with oppressing other people because they get to
oppress our people. And we could just there's so many
examples rolling you know, you talk about white fear in
your book, the Great book by the way, talk about

(38:15):
the white fear. But it's more than fear. Is their paranoia.
They're afraid that we will do to them what they
did to us. No, that's exactly what it is. Exactly
what it is, and so you know, we are seeing
these things continue. Folks, remain vigilant in all ways. Protect
yourself at all cars. All right, going to a break,

(40:24):
folks in this country who simply cannot tolerate black folks voting.
I think what we're seeing is the inevitable result of
violent denials. This is part of American history. Every time
that people of color and meta progress, whether real or symbolic,
there has been the Carol Anderson at every university calls
white rage as the backlashes is the right of the

(40:47):
proud boys and the boogaloo boys America. There's going to
be more of this. Proud would have gone. This country
is getting increasingly racist in its behaviors and its attitudes
because of the fear of white people to feel that
you're taking our job, they're taking our resources, they're taking
our women. This is white Field. We're all impacted by

(41:25):

(42:29):
want to hit that, folks as we continue to build
our twenty four to seven black news and Information network.
All right, folks, let's go to some headlines here again.
In New Jersey, a unveil a monument to African American
pioneer Harriet Tubman. The steel twenty five foot tall monument.

(42:53):
This title, Shadow of a Face, features timelines of Harriet
Tubman's life and nuke's abolitionist history, with audio ration by
Native Queen Latifa, who attended the unveiling ceremony last week.
This is going to replace a Christopher Columbus statue that
was removed in twenty twenty. Nina Cook John, the architect
who designed the monument, said that if the statue is

(43:14):
meant to we evoke feelings of all curiosity and a
sense of connection. Newark residents participated in the celebration by
buying bricks placed on the monument's wall, which shares their
personal stories and how they resonate with the history of Newark.
Back to me, it's a great, great idea, Julian. And
of course, hell you ever replaced one of Christic Columbus
who didn't find a damn thing, because you can't find

(43:35):
something that was already here. Plus he was lost. At
the end of the day. The dude was law, he
was a drunk, and he was lost. He had no
redeeming social value whatsoever except for bake. Italians feel good.
So by Christopher. Hello, Harriet, more importantly, Harriet Tubman. You
know we still don't have the twenty dollars bill that
we wanted that the Treasury passed on and said that

(43:57):
we're going to do, and then under the Orange Man
they took it away. We can't lift her up enough.
She basically led enslaved people out of enslavement. I just
got a T shirt the other day said don't argue
with anybody that Harriet would have shot. And that's just
a powerful kind of statement about some of the bickering

(44:17):
we have in our community. Some people were leaving enslavement,
then they want to go back and sister said you no, no,
I will shoot you behind. That's the end of that.
So I I this is one of the kind of
pieces of news rolling that makes me smile. It just
makes me say yes. In Women's History Month, you know,
with black with lifting up a black woman that many
have tried to deny. Let's get it on all right, folks.

(44:43):
Let's talk about this story here, which is a kind
of interesting that is dealing with Malcolm X. The University
of Rhode Island. They removed a partial Malcolm X quote
that sparked a student protest the University of Rhode Island.
Of course, the quote cap was on the facade of

(45:05):
it's Robert L. Carruthers Library. This was after thirty years
after members of the school's Black student leadership group protested
because the shortened version misrepresented the fuller meaning of the message.
The quote on the building was shortened to quote, my
alma mater was books, a good library. I could spend
the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.

(45:28):
The actual quote, which was in the autobograph of Malcolm
X by Malcolm mess told to Ella Tayley, read quote,
I told the Englishman that my alma mater was books,
a good library. Every time I catch a plane, I
had with me a book that I want to read.
And that's a lot of books these days. If I

(45:48):
weren't out here every day battling the white man, I
could spend the rest of my life reading just satisfying
my curiosity, because you can hardly mention anything I'm not
curious about. University resident Mark Parlane played Parlane players to
have the quote removed out of respect for the student
group with recently held thirtith anniversary quote. Our university is

(46:09):
grateful to those students for the courage, and I'm grateful
today's generation of student leaders who advocating in that same
spirit continue to inspire our ongoing work to foster a
truly inclusive, inequitable community. Michelle Fonte Hasho, participated in the
nineteen ninety two protests, says she was happy about the change,
and this is proof to the administration is striving to

(46:30):
do better. Well, this is one of those things I'm
a congo where I say, okay, they'll just remove the
partial quote, put up the full quote. That's right. It
amazes me how and I spoken at the University of
Rhode Island before and they've worked, you know, they've made
some great strides. But nowadays people are so afraid to

(46:50):
avoid teachable moments, and at a university that should be
the number one priority. I remember when the Doctor King
statue was being erected here in DC and they said,
well they had they just had the partial cults saying
I was a drum major for justice or change in
Miangelo was like, non't have the whole thing there. If

(47:11):
these quotations are, you know, are going to speak about
our history and speak about who we are, they have
to be complete. And this also ties them with the
Harry Tubman story that you just shared as well. Our
story cannot be short in or minimized or hyphenated to
look good on a building. Malcolm X is one of
our heroes, as Zolie David said, you know, our black

(47:31):
shining prints, and so really at the end of the day,
these quotations, they are invitations. They are invitations to learn
about the history that so many states and legislators are
trying to remove. They are invitations for next generations to
really do a better job of understanding these people. And
when John Stewart talks about America's racial wallpaper as it
relates to buildings named after Confederate soldiers and Columbus Day

(47:54):
and all of these monuments, we need to continue the
fight to replace these this racists visual everywhere with stories
about our own people who fought to make this country
better for everyone. And we can't minimize it by shortening
or minimizing the quotations and denying a history that our
children and all children are already not getting enough of. Now, folks,

(48:20):
check this story out of here. The Biden hass administration
is looking to update the US Race and Ethnicity Standard.
Let's be the first time since nineteen ninety seven. The
White House Office of Management and Budget is going to
host three virtual town halls this week. The federal government
standards were created to collect consistent race and ethnicity data

(48:43):
across federal agencies when handling Census, its National surveys, and
application forms. For government benefits. Some advocates have been pushing
for combining the race to address confusion and conflating the
population of one ethnic group under the nineteen ninety seven
which encourages people of Middle Eastern and North African or

(49:04):
mean UP groups to identify as white, and some advocates
have called for eliminating the terms white and black altogether.
The White House, the White House's Officers of Management and
Budget will a sign on new classifications next year. Your
thoughts for leading, well, somebody who has somebody who has
a sociology background like myself, This is really important and

(49:25):
I support that they are looking at revising these categories.
And the reason why I say that is because the
only way that you can actually tract discrimination and bias
that happens in the workplace or for example, in receiving
government benefits is by you have to track it with data.
And so it's very important that we continue to track
which communities are receiving being charged higher rates for loans

(49:48):
for example, which communities are you know, facing different disparities.
It's very important that we have correct data so that
we can work towards this equity injustice that we're saying
that we're about as a country. I mean, this is
an example of rhetoric needing to rhetoric, actions needing to
match rhetoric, and so I'm glad to see this. I'm

(50:08):
sure that this is going to make the heads of
conservatives pop off. As I saw in one report discussing this,
folks were saying, let's just get rid of all the categories. Well,
if you get rid of all the categories, there's no
way to track discrimination, which some folks would like for
us to stop tracking that because they just want everybody
to shut up and be quiet and move past it.
And so these things are really really important when it
comes to making sure that all communities are being treated fairly.

(50:31):
And of course, with black folks having had the most discrimination,
face the most discrimination in this country, we have a
long ways to go to make sure that every single
part of our life has equity in it, just like
the rest of the country. It is I think it's
important for people to understand, Julian, A lot of people

(50:53):
really don't understand how so much is decided. When we
talk about a government programs, we talk about resources, we
talk about natural institutes of health. When we're talking about yes,
the census where that the racial data matters, because when
you also are talking about racial data, you also talking
about class data and where resources are going. You know,

(51:16):
a lot of people say, you can't miss what you
can't measure, but we have to measure what's going on
in our country in terms of not only race, ethnicity, gender, class.
We have to be able to measure that. What we
know for sure Roland is that when we have the
census data, it affects allocation. When you have a census undercount,

(51:38):
that undercount means underfunding, and so it's important. And a
lot of people say, I don't want to get counted
where you need to get counted, because it does make
a difference. But there are many people who would just
be in denial. This has been a long term thing
that Republicans have attempted, going back to the nineteen eighties.
I recall, fortunately I'm that old to recall many times

(52:01):
when they've attempted to stop collecting race data just for
years because on Ronald Reagan he said, we didn't want
to measure our differences, and they are almost There was
a big fight to stop collecting that kind of data.
The data is important and lets us know where we are.
Lets us know about things like poverty, differential poverty income,

(52:21):
differential income. You know tomorrow is equal pay day, which
means if people white women, no women, they worked until tomorrow,
they get the same amount of money that a man
earned last year. What's wrong with that data? Number one?
When does white women's equal pay day? And when is
it for Black women, Latina women and for other for

(52:44):
women of color? It's way for jab calendar for American
Indian women is the all the way jobs are like November.
So but if we didn't have that data, we wouldn't
know that, we wouldn't be able to measure gender discrimination
in the workplace. So it's not just the macro data.
It's a micro data and a whole issue of disaggregation.

(53:06):
All right, whole type one second, folks, So we come back.
We'll talk angela basket? Did she gets stuffed at the Oscars?
Rue Carter, Mike history at the Oscars as well? That
more right here on Roland Marketing Unfiltered on the Blackstar Network.
At a moment we talk about blackness and what happens

(53:29):
in black culture. You're about covering these things that matter
to us, speaking to our issues and concerns. This is
a genuine people powered movement and a lot of stuff
that we're not getting. You get it. We wish to
plead power own cause to long have others spoken for us.
We cannot tell our own story if we can't pay

(55:50):
Smith has been missing from Gary, Indiana since January fifth.

ta always one hundred and fifty pounds with black hair
and round eyes. Anyone with information about Courtneysmisterion called the Gary,
Indiana Police Department at two one nine eight eight one

(56:12):
seven four seven one. Folks, we did the story previously
about this young man, David Robinson. First of all, Daniel
Robinson and how he has been missing. Who was a geologist?
Who was who was Missigan, Arizona. Now his dad, David
Robinson the second has just been on a just a

(56:36):
focused path to find his son. He's been missing for
six hundred and twenty eight days now. Skeleton remains found
in a remote desert area of Buckeye, Arizona, fuel speculation
if they belonged to Daniel Robinson, who disappeared on June
twenty third, twenty twenty one. Well they do not. So

(56:57):
Here for an update from South Carolina on the search
for his son is David Robinson, the second president and
founder of the Daniel Robinson Foundation. Glad to have you back, David.
Unfortunately you still are don't have the information that you need.
When we last talked, I remember asking you specifically had
what type of support had you been getting from the

(57:20):
company that your son was working with, because uh, there
were there were several white workers. He was out in
the desert with correct well Ashton is one worker that
he was out in the desert with that particular day,
that there's something careful of that kind of job. However, yes,
he's he's uh. The company itself has not done anything

(57:43):
and towards actually doing their own searches uh to locate
my son. Um. He is on a job, of course,
and that's one of the things that started off initially
was one of the problems in this whole case. So
for folks, shoo, dude, who who don't who were not
watching him, then describe exactly what happened. What do they

(58:09):
say happened with your son that what he left on
his own accord, Please explain to folks what they say
took place. Well, you know, the only person that see
my son, he's out there at well site waiting on
my son. That morning, my son went to one well
site previous prior to going to the second well site.
He's a field geology to go out to these well

(58:30):
sites meet one representative. The one representative said that my
son met him out there on the side of the road.
My son to follow him into that desert. They went
one mile west two miles north to get to this
well site where they would be completing their job. According
to that guy, he said, my son, they reached at
nine o'clock. By nine fifteen, my son waved off to him,

(58:51):
disappear in the desert. Have to never have been seen again.
Almost thirty days later, my son's vehicle showed up father
into that remote part of that desert and ravine. Everything
on his body was lining a power of powder three
feet away from that vehicle. But my son has not
been found since. And that is what is still so strange. Um,

(59:17):
how his personal effects were found, that's right, um, you
know the cell phone, UM, his work computer for instance,
his wallet, his keys to his apartment, things like that
was found in that vehicle case of water US one
hundred and eighteen degrees at that time of the year,
in the summer case of two cases of water in there,

(59:40):
untouched things like that. So yeah, it was a really
really strange episode in that part of the case. Questions
from my power, I'll first start with you. I'm a congo.
I remember the first time I I heard this story,

(01:00:01):
and as a father as well, it continues to break
my heart. What I didn't pay as much attention to
as I am tonight is the fact that the company
refused to help. What reason could they have possibly given
for that? And at this stage is there pressure that

(01:00:23):
we could be putting on the company to get involved
at this stage, Well, you know, that's that's like you said,
that should have been done at day one. That's one
of the things that we discussed as a family with
that company. They have money, they have resources. They should
have been out there for the employee to actually put
resources out there in the desert to locate Daniel. Of course,

(01:00:46):
being away from being in South Carolina, away from Arizona,
over two thousand miles away, I was reliant as a
parent on law enforcement. Law enforcement failed. They denied the
helicopter search that I requested for them to go out
into that desert. They waited almost three days later when
my auntie from Philly somehow convinced them to put a
flight out there in that desert. But that's that's too late.

(01:01:10):
Those efforts to locate my son from the job, and
as well as the law enforcement agencies was a little
too late, because we already know that at first crucial moments,
based all the difference in the world, I would not
be still searching for my son and my beliefs if
they would act it really quickly. Rata. Yeah, just a

(01:01:36):
couple of questions around, um, what happened? So I heard
that the person who works for his same employer said
that they saw him around nine fifteen. Then they didn't
see him anymore. But did anybody else report having seen
him after that person initially saw him? No, not at all.
You know, my son, he's field geologists. He go out
to veris well site. And the way he gets his assignments,

(01:01:57):
he just leaves his home look on his work computer.
They give him assignment to gave him two that morning.
I want to go to a web site off of ten.
The other in Buckeye ears one. The other ones off
I teen as well, but this one, the second well site.
He was meeting one representative from a company called Webber,
a separate company. Uh. They're supposed to have never met before,

(01:02:18):
first time seen each other. My son met when I
met this gentleman out there out this guy out there
in the side of the road there, like I said,
in following him into this web site. This whole narrative,
the story, everything about the stories based on one person's
word and once that person investigated. Should have been one

(01:02:39):
of the things that I have done as a father.
You can imagine the first thing a father would do
in my situation is to you know, this guy Tim,
and my son has walked off. That's unbelievable. I know
my son despite of some of the seer of the
you know, the stereotypes that of black men. I've been
there from day one of my son's life. I've been
a single parent. I was definitely wanted to get out

(01:03:01):
there and make sure my son was safe. But I
hear that story that I heard from law enforcement from
this guy at will site, I didn't believe it. I
need to go and look this man hadn't look me
in my eye and tell me the same thing. He
eventually started that way in this conversation when I met
him on the twenty eighth of twenty eighth of June
twenty twenty one. He started off exactly, verbatim, exactly what

(01:03:23):
the cops said, and then after that he started changing
his story. He knew the cops were gonna come look
into the story. That's gonna go national. It's the way
he put this thing and as well as some of
the other extra steps that he did that was far
fetched from a person who's really so called concerned. One
of the biggest parts that was to give me to

(01:03:43):
give away to me is the fact that if you're
very concerned, all you had to do is make a
simple phone call. Those things wasn't done. As well as
his storyline did not match my son's phone wrecords. Law
enforcement know all these things, and despite of all of that,
they hold holy story. Give it wait, Juliana, sir. First

(01:04:07):
of all, we're very sorry that your son has gone missing,
and we hope that you know he will be found. Secondly, however,
the company that he was working for, we need to
know their name. They need to be sued that they
were derelicted in their duty towards an employee, and so

(01:04:29):
they need to be suited them. Thirdly, this person who
had this report that seems to be very questionable, he
needs to be fully investigated, and that doesn't seem to
have happened. So I'm just hopeful, and I'm just what
was the name of the company. Maybe we can think
about boycotting them or putting the word out. I will
say this, if black folks are watching this and your

(01:04:49):
child is a geology major, they don't need to go there,
they don't need to work there because we know that
they don't value their employees. Well, it's called Major missis
Stoffware Groundwater. They also called themselves Matriss New World. It's
an engineering company. What my son's job is to in Arizona,
for instance, they have to have a certain amount of

(01:05:10):
groundwater to build a community. That groundwater had to produce
at least one hundred years of water those whales. Each
community had to have these whales. My son is a scientist,
he's a geologist. His job is to help determine if
these groundwaters can produce that hundred years of water. Very crucial.
The same area that my son was doing his work in,
it's the same area that the former governor been hiding

(01:05:31):
those water reports that do not have enough water in
that ground to produce to support a new community that's
building in that area. That's reason why my son was
out in the area to check the groundwater to see
if this community can be built billions of dollars out
of Howard Hughes Corporation. But of course once those reports
came out, we found out that Daniels those those things

(01:05:55):
that he had to do out there support that it
was no water, not enough water to support those community.
So there's a lot of things like that with that
company itself. Like I said, my son was working on
the companies working on that day he was sent out
to the well site by the company and not one
ounce of money went out towards producing helicopter flights that

(01:06:15):
I have to do myself, had to charter a helicopter flights,
had to produce my own investigation as well as searches
for my son. I did forty eight weeks forty eight
weeks of searches out there, covered thirty five thousand because
of land with volunteers, not one time a dime being
given from law enforcement to health. Those things came out
of a go go fund me, out of the general

(01:06:37):
heartprocity of the people in the neighborhoods and the communities,
as well as my own pocket. But we definitely we
also produced human remains while we're out there, things that
law enforcement should have been doing, finding human remains, bringing
closure to other families, and finding clues about my son's case.
So those things that have been efforts that have been
doing from day one, Like I said, it's almost going

(01:06:59):
on two years now and I'm still doing it, still
working it. If folks want to support you and what
you're doing, where should they reach out to you? The
way do you reach out to me is go to
Please Help Find Daniel dot com. That's Please Help Find
Daniel dot com. Um. There's other ways to help tall
that you can help that way as well as the

(01:07:20):
go fund is there. Also you have the tab if
you guys want to do. One of the things that's
very crucial for me is getting Dan's getting worried out
about my son's case. I have a robust flyer distribution program.
Go to Please Help Find Daniel dot com. There is
a pd up there if you want to print those
flights out yourself. Also, you can reach us at Please

(01:08:30):
just to name a few, and tens of thousands have
been laid off as a result. On the next Get Wealthy,
we take a look at what it needs to recession
through your career in tech. Joining me will be Knique October,
and she's going to be sharing exactly what you need
to do to turn anxiety into achievement. Shifting our mindset

(01:08:53):
to thinking that only opportunities exist in big tech is
something that we're going to have to like ship fast
because there are so many opportunities that are out there
that we have to change the way we're thinking about
our careers. That's right here on Get Wealthy, only on
Black Star Network. We're all impacted by the culture, whether

(01:09:18):
we know it or not, from politics to music and entertainment.
It's a huge part of our lives, and we're going
to talk about it every day right here on the
Culture with Me for Raji Muhammad only on the black
Star Network. On the next A Balanced Life with Me,

(01:09:39):
Doctor Jackie, Just who do you think you are? And
maybe more importantly, who is it that you think you're
trying to please? The answer to that second question is
really wrapped up in the first. Think about that being
the true authentic you, no matter the circumstance. But we
learn the art of forgiveness, not only a forgiving one another,
but forgiving oursel else. And we also learn how to

(01:10:02):
love ourselves so that we can love each other. That's
next on A Balanced Life here on black Star Network. Hi,

let's talk about what's gonna be happening tomorrow in Oklahoma
where the Black Creeks, descendants of the Muskegee Creek Freeman.
They're only back in court to reclaim the tribal citizenship
rights in the Creek Nation. To Mario. Solomon Simmons is

(01:11:31):
a lead attorney. He joins us right now, Tomorroo, So
bring us up to day because recently I saw your
recent post where the court admonished the tribe for not
following other judges order. Correct, when we're hoping the court
is going to admonish them tomorrow, they did not follow
the judges order back inn February ninth, where they've been

(01:11:52):
running for over two years, rolling to answer the very
basic question of how do they believe they can violate
Article to the Treaty of eight sixty six, and the
judge ordered them on February ninth that they had to
answer that question before our trial which is April fourth,
and they refused to do it. So we back in
front of the court tomorrow and we're hoping and asking

(01:12:12):
her to admonish them and to force them to answer
the question and sanction them for us having to do
additional unnecessary work. Again, this goes way way back. For
folks who don't understand the details of this case, bring us,
bring us up to speed. The clip absolutely, just real quickly.

(01:12:35):
I would say this from the late seventeen hundreds into
eighteen sixty six, members of the Muscogee Cree Nation enslave
the African people and black people Creeks of African descent.
When at the end of the Civil War or during
the Civil War, some of the Creek Nation they cited
they thought actually signed a treaty, but the Confederacy obviously
the Confederacy loss and part of the Confederacy bringing back

(01:12:56):
those states like Alabama and George and Mississippi, they had
to opt the thirteenth fourteenth Amendment outlaw enslavement and make
their black citizens black individual citizens. Well in the Creek
Nation was the same thing. According to the Treaty of
eighteen sixty six, Article two, they had to adopt their
black members as citizens. They had to stop enslavement. The

(01:13:18):
Creek Nation adhered to that into nineteen seventy nine. In
nineteen seventy nine, they decided they no longer quote unquote
one of us Negroes, and therefore they kicked us out
the nation illegally. We've been fighting at every since and
that's what this trial is about. On April fourth, and
just imagine this role in every one that's listening, Just
imagine that Georgia or Alabama, or Florida or Texas tomorrow said,

(01:13:38):
you know what, We're no longer going to adhere to
the fourteenth Amendment. You need roles are no longer citizens
of the state of Texan. That is what the Creek
Nation is doing. It is con confederate members of the
Creek Nation who want to keep this white supremacis mentality
and keep Creeks of africanisen like myself and thousands of
level Creeks from having our rightful citizenship and access to

(01:13:58):
millions of dollars and been if it's annually and when
we say benefits again, explain that the folks who don't
who who don't understand this history? Absolutely, and we're talking
about over one hundred maybe one hundred and fifty thousand
Black Creeks that are in this situation most based on
open Homa. We have members throughout their entire nation, and

(01:14:21):
we're talking about benefits like healthcare, housing, education, stipends of
cash cash stipends. So during COVID rolling and I know
you know this, but during COVID, the Creek nations received
about two billion dollars of arper funding and one of
the things that they decided to do was to give
each individual Creek citizens about forty five hundred dollars cash stiping.

(01:14:46):
That meant that over one hundred thousand Black Creek citizens
or shouldn't been citizens did not receive that cash stipends.
This will make a substantial tangible difference in the lives
of Black Creeks overnight. Overnight, Black Creeks who do you
not have the ability to get healthcare would have to
have healthcare opportunities the very next day. Black Creeks who
will need housing would have housing. The very next day.

(01:15:08):
Black Creek two need educational opportunities and benefits would have
those benefits the next day, both through the Creek Nation
and also through the federal government. Questions from the panel
Ridina you first, Yeah, so I know I'm looking into
this that one of the flashpoints of this issue is

(01:15:29):
how the Muskogee tribe decides who is a part of
their tribe. So they are saying that you have to
be by blood in order to be a part of
their tribe. But recently the Cherokee Nation they used to
say you had to be by blood, but then recently
they change theirs to say it's not by blood. What
happened with the Cherokee Nation that is not I guess
sort of holding up with the Muskogee tribe. What is

(01:15:50):
the difference? But the two different nations, and Cherokee Nation
decide to follow the law, and a PreK tribe there's
not want to follow the law. That's the basic answer.
Because the Cherokee Nation had the same type of a treaty,
a treat of eighteen sixty six. There's was article nine
that said they had the outlaw enslavement and they had
to adopt their black members. But I also want to
be clear in the Creek Nation, it's is article two.

(01:16:11):
They say Creeks of African descent or Creeks by blood.
My family, my great great great grandfather cal Tom also
known as Kalmenko, was one of five individuals who negotiate
and signed a treat of eighteen sixty six. He was
not enslave. He was a Creek quote unquote by blood,
but because we were put on the Creek Freeman Road
by the United States government at nineteen oh six that

(01:16:33):
said we were all just formerly enslaved Africans. The Creek
Nation is now utilizing that racist document that the United
States have been created to disenfranchise and kick off black people.
That's like myself who have a documented heritage of Creek
Nation going back centuries. That's a great question, Julie Julian Brother.

(01:16:58):
First of all, thank you for your work here. I
don't think we all know how intertwined Black history is
with a Native American history and how we were enslaved
often by our Native brothers and sisters, but also often
they provided us some shelter when we ran away from enslavement.
So it's a it's a very mixed history, but it's

(01:17:19):
someone that not a lot of people know about. My
question is what's going on with the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
I mean that's a federal agency. Yeah, I know you laughing, right, Okay,
But anyway, I want to know if the Bureau of
Indian Affairs has any role in this and any enforcement
and any of that. No, I'm laughing, doctor Maulbow, because
you always, you always ask the right question. And the

(01:17:41):
Bureau of Indian Affairs today, tomorrow, the Department of the
Department of Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs tomorrow could tell
the Cree Nation you are a violating federal law. See,
treaties are the supreme law. The land. Treaties are right
below the Constitution, right, And so the Bureau Indian Affairs
tomorrow could write a letter to the Creek Nation that say,

(01:18:01):
you are violating the Treaty of eighteen sixty six, Article two,
and until you adhere to this treaty and you bring
in these black members of your tribe, we will not
recognize your government. They could do that tomorrow. So I
laugh because you asked their exact right question. And I
also want to address what you said. First, there were

(01:18:22):
many many Native American nations like the Creek Nation that
provided leadership, support and opportunities for Creeks of African runaway
and slave to Africans. And it's said that there is
a portion of those members of the nation who cited
and wanted to be more European, wanted to have the
colonial slave type plantation, enslavement of economy. And that's what

(01:18:45):
we're still fighting, that mentality, white supremacy. In other words,
it's still infecting the minds of our own Native brothers
and sisters. And I want to be clear about one
other thing. The Black Creeks are the co founders of Greenwood, Tulsa,
Black Wall Street Black Creeks. So you cannot have justice
for Greenwood and justice for the Tulsa race massacre without

(01:19:07):
justice for Black Creeks. All right, I'm a Congo. So
one of the things I found fascinating when I visited
the Museum of the American Indian was something I read
that said, every single treaty that Native groups made with

(01:19:29):
the Europeans were broken in some way, shape or form,
every single one. So can you speak to the irony
of the fact that now you have this treat nation
on this side not acknowledging a treaty that they made
with their own people. Man, great questions absolutely. The hypocrisy
is overwhelming. Right. In fact, some of the audiences may

(01:19:50):
have heard of the mcgart decision. That was a decision
that happened and a couple of years ago with a
Supreme Court rude that Northeast Oklahoma is still Indian territor,
and that meant and that was a case that was
involved in the Muscogee Creek Nation, the same nation we
are in court with today, and the Muscogee Creek Nation
was making that argument that Article three of the Treaty

(01:20:10):
of eighteen sixty six was still good law. Therefore, the
state of Oklahoma does not have the authority the jurisdiction
to charge criminally Creek Nation citizens, and they argue that
successfully all the way to the United States Supreme Court.
Yet when it comes to Article two of that same treaty,
they want to ignore it. They want to say that

(01:20:32):
does not matter here. And that's why the actions of
the Creek Nation it's not only illegal, it's not only
racist and discriminatory, but it's a threat to all Indian
law throughout this entire country because all the Native American
tribes are fighting to uphold their treaties and the Creek
Nation wants to be able to say, well, we are
going to decide we're just going to ignore Article two.

(01:20:53):
And if they're allowed to get away with that, then
the United States of America will have the more opportunity
to continue to not do what was to do for
all other Native American tribes. So that's an excellent question.
If folks want to actually just read more about this,
is there a website that you guys had where they
can go check everything out? Absolutely, they can go to

(01:21:14):
Justice from Black Creeks dot org. That's Justice for Black
Creek dot dot org. Or you could go to Justice
for Greenwood dot org Justice for Greenwood dot org. So,
like you said, Rowland, we have a big hearing tomorrow
and Oak Muggy, which is about thirty four forty five
minutes away from Tulsa. That's tomorrow on the fourteenth, we
have a big trial that's scheduled from April fourth to

(01:21:35):
April seventh. We're expecting a large turnout, lots of people
coming in from out of town congressional members. But I
want to just reiterate Justice for Black Creeks dot org.
We cannot have justice for Greenwood without justice for Black Creeks.
So everyone that wants to see a form of justice
for black people. This is a form of reparations. Guys.
These people enslave black folks. They had to stop the enslave.

(01:22:00):
They had to bring us in a citizens and they
always the benefits and now they were nigging on it.
I don't need everyone to jump in on this. This
is a reparation spike for all of us, all right,

Raji Muhammad only on the Black Star Network. I'm jubber
Owen's America's Wealth Coach, and my new show, Get Wealthy
focuses on the things that your financial advisor and bank
isn't telling you but you absolutely need to know. So

(01:25:03):
watch Get Wealth on the blast Star Network. What's up, y'all,
Will Brack, I'm Chris Up, Michelle Hi, I'm Chailey Rose,
and you're watching Roland Martin Unfiltered. All right, folks, last

(01:25:26):
night was Any Academy Awards and many people, of course,
we're tuning in to see how Jimmy Kimmel would address
last year's slap. Will Smith Smack and Chris Rock Well,
this is how he did it. We want you have fun,
we want you to feel safe, and most importantly, we

(01:25:49):
want me to feel safe. So we have strict policies
in place. If anyone in this theater commits an act
of violence at any point during the show, you will
be awarded the Oscar Or for Best Actor and permitted
to give a nineteen minute long speak. No, but seriously,

(01:26:09):
the Academy has a crisis team in place. If anything
unpredictable or violent happens during the ceremony, just do what
you did last year. Nothing. Sit there and do absolutely nothing.
Maybe even give me Assailant a hug. And if any
of you get mad at a joke and decide you
want to come up here and get jiggy with it,

(01:26:31):
It's not gonna be easy. There are a few of
my friends are gonna have to get through. First. You're
gonna have to get through the heavyweight champ A Donna's Creed.
Before you get to May, You're gonna have to do
battle with Michelle Yo. Before you get to May, you're
gonna have to beat the Mandalorian. Before you get to May,

(01:26:51):
you are gonna have to tangle the spider Man. You
are gonna happen. We're gonna have to tangle its fable
man and then you're gonna have to go through my
right hand man, Guerremo, if you want to get up
to this Stan Oh wait a minute, Oh not, I

(01:27:13):
should say the other Guerremo. Not not not del Turo. Yes,
that one. Okay, there are gone. I know he's cute,
but make no mistake you, even so much as waven me,
that sweet little man will beat the lydia tar out
of you. Okay, all right, then, uh I'm a congo.

(01:27:37):
What did you make of that? Uh? Wait? Address? And
also at the end of course, uh, they had a sign.
Uh they said, uh, consecutive oscars free of any incident,
said they had like zero zero one. I thought that
was pretty funny as well. I mean, so you know
they they tastefully deal with it. But of course a
comedian is gonna make jokes most definitely, just just like

(01:27:59):
we talk about last week with selective outrage. And you know,
I know that there are some people who felt like
it should have been left alone, but he didn't do
it in a way that trashed Will Smith or anything
like that. And how can you not get up there
and address it, and so I thought it was hilarious.
To be quite honest, I mean, feeble man, I thought
that was great. And so really at the end of

(01:28:20):
the day, people were wondering what the OSCARS was gonna do, because,
quite honestly, like he said, a lot of people, you know,
no one did anything last year, and the Oscars took
forever to make a statement, They took forever to issue
any types of punishments. And I know people wanted to
move on, but sometimes the way to move on is
to kind of have something that's kind of cathartic for
everybody who's there and who witnessed it, and people in
the audience witnessed it, and we witnessed it all at home,

(01:28:43):
and so I think he kind of put a nail
in it finally and just keep it moving. I agree,
all y'all. So many were watching the Best Supporting Actress
category hoping to see and Labassid win it for Black
Panther two. Well, this was her reaction when the name

(01:29:06):
of the winner was named and the oscar goes to
Jamie Lee. Jamie Lee Curtis made her big screen debut

(01:29:27):
in the horror classic Halloween. All right, so here's a Deal. Ranida,
the movie that Jamie Lee Curtis won four of course,
took home seven Oscars last night, and she won Best
Supporting Actress. This is the daughter of actor Tony Curtis

(01:29:49):
Janet Lee. She mentioned both of them. Both of them
were nominated for Oscars as well. And for people who
don't who have not been following this award season, it
really has been in the this category at the major awards.
You talking about the Golden Globes, the SAG Awards, the
Bath to the different People's Choice Awards, Critics Choice that

(01:30:11):
actually Jamie Lee Curtis, Angela Bassett, and Stephanie Sue who
was also in the same movie with Jamie Curtis, they've
they've been sort of like winning. So that was no
one runaway favorite in this category. And so a lot
of Black people like, oh my god, she got screwed
or she got she got Ministry by the Academy. But
really it was a toss up based upon how all

(01:30:34):
the other major awards have been going, right, I mean,
but you know, obviously we all were pulling for Angela
Bassett to walk away with this award, especially after getting
other historic awards for Marvel movies, and so it was
a disappointment to a lot of folks, including myself. But
what really made me mad about the whole incident was
people trying to police Angela Bassett's emotions. People are online

(01:30:56):
are talking about how you know she was wrong to
sit down when James the League Curtis's name was called
to look on her face? Why didn't she stand up
and clap? People are saying this when they have not
walked a mile in and most black women what most
black women have not walked a mile in most black
women's shoes in this country. When you are over eighteen
and you've been in the workplace, you've had some portion

(01:31:18):
of life experience, you quickly find that, you know, frequently
black women's work is erased and we are not awarded
for the things that we do great. And so likely
her reaction had nothing to do with Jamie Lee Curtis,
but it was probably just a continuation of I'm sure
she's experienced, like any other black woman's experience, continually being

(01:31:40):
looked over. And so to me, that is what I
thought was even more damaging, was a continuation of trying
to police her behavior and now come at her a
certain way, because she was obviously disappointed that she did
not win this award. That's her right to be disappointed,
and nobody should be trying to police how she responds
to that. Well, first of Julia, I actually, so I

(01:32:01):
was I wouldn't go see Cree three last night, so
I actually saw this category on my DVRUM, so I
watched the whole segment. Now did Angela Bassett eventually stand up? Yes?
She did? Um? Then uh, now, when Jamie Lee Curtis

(01:32:22):
finished her speech, did Angela Bassett clap? No, she didn't.
But the bottom line is that you correct any way
you want to react. As I said, Uh, this is
this wasn't a cat This was a category where again
you've had um different winners at the different major awards,
So there was no this wasn't like Jamie Fox with

(01:32:43):
um with Ray or it wasn't like Forest Whittaker, Um
when he played Edi I mean m in the Last
King of Scotland where they won every single award show.
It was a fore gone conclusion that wasn't the case.
But but your thoughts on again, Uh, some folks being
a little bit perturbed that she did not win, but

(01:33:05):
also those perturbed and her uh, some saying she was
not gracious in congratulating Jamie the Curtis. Well, I basically
agree with what Vernita said about people trying to police
her reactions. She is a human being who was probably
clearly disappointed, and I don't know what showed showed on
her face because I was looking at it that carefully.

(01:33:27):
I was disappointed for her because a lot of us
thought she should have won it. But Jamie Lee Curtis
is also a really great actress. Quite frankly, she's one
of my faves, if I among the Melano deficient. So
from that perspective, you know, this is all political. Who
who gets to vote? We don't know who voted. You know,

(01:33:49):
I just think Angela Bassett rocks. She totally rocked. She
rocked in uh Wakanda, she rocked in the second one.
Ain't no tripping and she's not tripping either. She quite frankly, um,
she got it in the double ACP Image Award rolling
as you know, I think you were there. She got
an Image Award, and she said it was meaningful for

(01:34:12):
her to get something for her people, So, you know,
getting from the other people it would have been nice.
There will be other opportunities. But I just I'm just
an anti Bassett fan and just cheer her on and
think that sort of micro policing is unacceptable. The woman
didn't smile, she didn't stand up whatever. I mean, if
you went part of the audience, there's some other people

(01:34:34):
who didn't stand up. There's some other people who didn't clap.
It's not required her heels, her feet could have been hurt.
I mean, I go to awards shows all the time.
You know, well won she won Best Supporting Actress at
the Image Awards. Plus she also won Anteam of the Year.

(01:34:55):
But like I said, uh, you know, you've had all
these different reactions to what took place, your thoughts. I
feel like people are basically looking at this as like
Will Smith Chris Rock round two or something like that,
in terms of making this such a huge deal. That
was a big deal what happened last year. This is
a woman. Look, I know doctor Marvel said that, you know,

(01:35:15):
she's a human being like anyone else. But in our community,
damn it, she's the queen and we hold her in
such high regard that everything that both doctor Marvo on
ernedas we're saying, we're true, she's she says nothing to
shorten the disrespect the game of acting in Hollywood or
anything like that. She has always been regal and everything

(01:35:35):
that she does, and so really, at the end of
the day, if people want to pay more attention to
her than everything else that was going on, it shows
how petty they are. But as our sisters has said
on this panel, black women are used to it, So
I know she's not paying it any mind, but we
really got to do better. She put into work. I
didn't see the other movies, so I can't speak to them.
I know that she gave an Oscar worthy performance at

(01:35:56):
the end of the day, and like we all said,
then LACP Image Award at least particularly at this point
in time and everything we're dealing with, it's really more
important to me than the Oscars right now. But Angela
Bassett does not disrespect the game of Hollywood in any way,
shape or form. Leave her alone and put some respect
on her name. Well. Also keep in mind, and Jimmy Kimmel,

(01:36:17):
I appreach it that he actually did this last night.
He acknowledged from the stage that Daniel Deadwiller, who was
chorused the lead actress until and he also a Bitching
Viola Davis and The Woman King. Both of those women
were not nominated. Both of those movies were not nominated,
and he said those were movies that were worthy of
people watching and also being rewarded. I thought Dead Wilder

(01:36:39):
gave an unbelieved performance. I absolutely believed that she had
earned the Best Actress nod as well for that movie.
PLAYE made me till mobili. But again, this is what
happens when you have these award shows. These things happen
all the time, all right, folks. History was made last
night when Hampton University's Ruth Carter became the first black

(01:37:00):
woman to win two Oscars when she won for Best
Costume Design for Black Panther two. She of course won
it for the first Black Panther, and it was bittersweet
for her when she told everyone this in her scepter speech.
Nice to see you again. Thank you to the Academy
for recognizing the superhero that is a black woman. She endors,

(01:37:27):
she loves, she overcomes, She is every woman in this film.
She is my mother. This past week, Mabel Carter became
an ancestor. This film prepared me for this moment. Chadwick,
please take care of mom. Ryan Coogler, Nate Moore, thank

(01:37:50):
you both for your vision. Together we are reshaping how
culture is represented. The Marvel family, Kevin Fihy, Victoria Alonso,
Lewis Disposito and their arsenal of genius. Thank you. I

(01:38:14):
share this with many dedicated artists whose hands and hearts
helped manifest the costumes of Wakanda and Tolakan. This is
for my mother. She was a hundred and one Ruth Carter. Again,
thanks history and folks. So she got her start doing

(01:38:36):
Spike Lee's movies. And when you go back and look
at No Better Blues, you look at Malcolm X, look
at all of those different movies, she was the costume
designer there coming to America too as well. So she
is absolutely won a legend in Hollywood, which is why
when she won last night, even when she won a
couple of years ago for a black panther, everyone stood

(01:38:57):
up to acknowledge her greatness. And so congratulations Ruth Carter
on winning your second Oscar as well. And yes she
also want Best Costume Design at the NAACP Image Awards
as well. All right, folks, gotta go to a break,
We come back we'll talk nutrition, the impact on improving
your health by what you eat. That's next on Rolling

(01:39:19):
Martin Unfiltered Black Sun Network. A lot of these corporations
or people that are running stuff push black people if
they're doing a certain thing. What that does is it
creates a butterfly effect of any young kid who you know,
wants to leave any situation they're in, and the only
people they see your people that are doing this, or

(01:39:40):
I gotta be a gangster, I gotta shoot, I gotta sell,
I gotta do this in order to do it, and
it becomes a cyclable when someone comes around is making
another Oh, we don't do you know, they don't want
to push her. They put money into itself. That's definitely
something I'm trying to fix. Two, it's your show. Those
other avenues. You don't gotta be rapping. I'm gonna be
a ball player, could be the country. See, you can
be an operson, or you can be a m whatever,
you know, showing the different it's not as possible and

(01:40:01):
it's hard for people to realize as possible to someone done.
On the next A balanced life with me, Doctor Jackie,
just who do you think you are? And maybe more importantly,

(01:40:23):
who is it that you think you're trying to please?
The answer to that second question is really wrapped up
in the first. Think about that being the true authentic you,
no matter the circumstance. But we learn the art of forgiveness,
not only a forgiving one another, but forgiving ourselves, and
we also learn how to love ourselves so that we
can love each other. That's next on a Balanced Life

(01:40:46):
Here on black Star Network. I'm Jumber Owens, America of
Wealth Coach, and my new show Gets Wealthy focuses on
the things that you're financial advisor and bank is. I'm
telling you what you absolutely need to know, So watch
Get Wealth on the black Star Network. Hi, I'm Vivian Green. Hi.

(01:41:15):
This is Essence Atkins. Everybody, just your man friend Hammond,
and you're watching Roland Martin My Man Unfiltered. All right, folks.

(01:41:41):
Nutrition is a huge part when it comes to wellness,
and of course many folks we've had on the show
talked about not wanting people people to be so witted
to having take medicine. How about doing things the natural way.
Jesse Thompson is my next guest. She's the author of
The New Guy How It does recommend his book in

(01:42:01):
five Broads Manual in God's Y'olso it's being very much
focused on how what we eat and heal the body.
Glad to have you back on the show, and so
we talk about what you can eat to heal the body.
Explain that, well, thank you so much for having me
roll and food is our medicine, no question. It is.

(01:42:23):
Literally what we consume every day is actually healing our
body or it's harming our body. So it's very important
for us to make choices that actually help the body
support its natural detoxification function. The body is a masterpiece.
It is created to detoxify. Of course, you know there

(01:42:44):
are sources of toxins all over from the air to
the food that we eat, etc. Because not all the
food that we eat is healthy. The stress is a
major factor, especially for us as people of color, black people,
specifically in the trauma of racism. So what we what's
happening is the body's natural detox function, which is the
involuntary process by which the body rids itself of toxins

(01:43:08):
through perspiration, respiration, urination, defecation using our four vital organs,
the skin, our largest organ, the liver, the lungs, the kidney,
and then the digestive system and the lymphatic system. What
happens when our body is overrun with toxins, It starts
to now disrupt the body's ability to detoxify properly, and

(01:43:32):
then we have to start to start to have an
intervention and start to Some people will do diets, some
people will do fasting specifically to help reset the body
and hopefully start a healthy lifestyle. That is, we say
prevention is the cure. And and so one of the

(01:43:52):
things that doctors always talk about is that when we
talk about obesity, that's inflammation and what we can either
help or hurt. Yeah, no, that's a critical thing. In fact,
you know, we created this whole anti inflammatory food list
just so people because some people think just because something
is a vegetable, for instance, if I fry it, it's

(01:44:14):
still a vegetable, right, But inflammation is actually something that
our body is a natural process where the body starts
to fight off disease. However, when the body is in
a radical state of inflammation because of too much cortisol,
because of too many times, what happens is now the
body starts to give birth to actual disease inflammation where

(01:44:34):
it's radical in the body NonStop. It actually creates it's
the root of so many conditions, whether it's high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, fibroid's,
so so many diseases. So for us, food is literally
our first defense. It's to actually of course stress, you know,
minimize our stress, but then the food. Using our food

(01:44:54):
which are anti inflammatory foods that help to reduce inflammation
in the body, such as cruciferous vegetables right, making that
like broccoli and cabbage and bok choy, and and things
like arugula. Making the greens a part of every meal
that you have is helping use foods for to fight

(01:45:16):
inflammation in the body as well as you know antioxidants
and linnen berries like blueberries and raspberries. Those are so
great for the gut, helping the body. Again, remember we
talked about the detoxification function. The digestis system plays a
major role. So eating foods that help your gut, eating
foods that have high selenium like brazil nuts that are

(01:45:36):
great for your liver, another major detox organ So using
your food to actually power your vital organs so that
your body and can sustain an actual lifestyle of healing.
Questions from the panel, MC Congo. Your first, Yeah, I'm

(01:45:57):
already I only have three cookies today, Like and I'm
regret I was regretting it before you came on, but
now I'm like really regretting. It was a little spurt.
But the one of the chat questions I have for
you is what advice do you give to those of
us who live in communities that might be food deserts

(01:46:18):
or where they may have organic sections that are starting
to come into some of our stores, they're still expensive.
What kind of tips do you give for those of
us who live in those that part of our community
who want to make better food choices but are limited
because of what's around them or budget. Very good question
number one. Go to the detox now dot com down

(01:46:41):
right now and download our free foodless because what we
did in our free foodless is we listed out what
foods are inflammatory anti inflammatory, what foods are good for
you to now substitute in your regular diet. And also
knowing that clean fifteen and the dirty dozen is really
important because guess what, in certain foods, there's a rating

(01:47:01):
every year they put out what foods are Actually the
way that they're farmed. They maintain the purity of the
foods such as cantalopes, right, such as melons, the thickness
of the skin is such that the meat of the food,
the meat of the melons are actually they don't have
to be organic because they're still clean. But then you
have certain foods that are part of the dirty dozen

(01:47:22):
where those foods you really need them to be organic.
And I'm going to come back to that, such as
apples and firs and berries, right, because so harmful because
of the pesticides on them. So in food deserts, Number one,
you want to know what do your go to anywhere
I can go right now, like I know if I'm
going somewhere, I know mangos are on the clean fifteen list,

(01:47:42):
Avocados are on the clean fifteen list, right, cantalopes and honeydew,
those kind of things. And then specifically I would get
things like either you can clean them with white vinegar
or baking soda in water, soak them. You want to
do an extra job of actually cleaning them that helps
to actually make them less harmful for you. And then

(01:48:04):
so you'll use the cleaning agents to I like to
soak them I use food grade hydrogen peroxide as a
with distill water. I make a mix of that eleven
ounces of distill water with one ounce of hydrogen food
grade peroxide. I use it as my vegetable cleaner, and
I will clean all my veggies. So now you can.
Still you may not be able to get organic everything.

(01:48:26):
Try to get as much as you can organic, but
then clean it so that you give yourself a better
chance of having healthier foods. And again, the reason we
did the free foodless is you may not be ready
to because what happens is when you find that, you know,
you'll see signs that your body is dealing with those toxins.
So those three cookies, okay, you had them today, but
are you having three cookies every day? Right? Are you

(01:48:48):
having them with breakfast, lunch, of dinner? Right? These are
things that now you'll start to see signs that your
body is slowing down. You'll see weights start to kind
of settle, You'll start to see that you feel tired
a lot. These are signs that your body's detoxification function
is actually being impaired, it's being compromised, and maybe it's
time to reset. And for us, that was a major thing.

(01:49:09):
That's why we created these fast, these detoxes for people
to help reset their functions. Right. For instance, there's a
woman who posted this week, In fact, we shared her
testimony today that she has been taking allergy meads for
twenty years, right, and she did our fruit fast and
she's on day eight of our fruits which is just

(01:49:31):
specific fruits and the herbal supplements that are used to
support the body in resetting during this fast, right, this
healing fast, and by day eight she's completely off of
all of the allergy meads that she's been taking for
twenty years. So we know the body knows how to
heal itself. We know that this toxification is a natural function,

(01:49:52):
and using those specific foods right and the herbal supplementation,
she was able to completely reverse that process in her
body data. Yes, thank you for coming on today. Just
a quick question. Are there any foods that the public
generally thinks are healthy but in your personal opinion, there's

(01:50:15):
just never any ever good reason to eat them? So
many One that's really popular is wheat grass. Wheat grass
is like in these high end places, Oh get your
wheat grass shot, but it's actually very harmful to your
gut because it's created you have to you need four
stomach to digest it. It's for animals, it's for it

(01:50:37):
like cows, right, large mammals, and people will consume it
like it's for us, and it really can do damage.
That's kind of one of them. Another one that it
really depends and this is specifically for my sisters out there.
Flax seeds. So flax seeds can have beneficial properties for

(01:50:58):
women who may be impair menopause or menopause because their
estrogen is low, right, because estrogen needs needs, their needs,
they need support building their estrogen during that timeframe. UM.
But if you are not in perimenopause or menopause and
you're just in your childbearing years, flaxed can actually cause
to estrogen, lead to estrogen dominance, too much consumption of

(01:51:21):
that because of how estrogenic it is, and that can
cause hormonal balance. Um. And and that's not just for women.
I led to that because of the perimenopause, but with
men um you can see things like develop development of
male man breasts and as well as you know, um baldness,
lose hair, things like that. So in other words, it

(01:51:41):
can get those same inflammatory responses in different ways. Wow,
thank you, Jillian, I literally have four I got forty
seconds or a quick A question, quick answer. Go. You've
talked about reason that a couple of times. What what
does it? How long does someone have to chase into
your daughter? What must one do to reset? You see

(01:52:02):
the slowness? You see these things? How do you reset?
So a fasting is one of the most powerful ways
to reset. That's why you know, we offer free group
consults to help everybody determine which fast is the best
one for them, because there's intermittent fasting, there's fruit fasting,
there's water fasting. So I don't want everybody to just
think any fast is right for me. But a fast

(01:52:24):
is great because that voluntary process allows your vital organs
to rest to then now be able to restore their
function with the right setting. And we've seen everything from
people get off high blood pressure meds with our water fast.
TAJ and fact from swe has a powerful testimony of
being on our water fast and she uses it on
a regular basis twice a year, every six months or so,

(01:52:45):
she does it. And so definitely, you know, we invite
you to book a free group consult so that you
can find out the right one for you at the
detox now all right dot com. Yes, thanks a lot, folks,
living information right there, how to reach you. We'll appreciate it.
