Speaker 2 (06:06):
Well, Dr Harper, we have good topics today, and the
first I don't know what you're going to start with.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
First, ongoing dialogue.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Okay, the ongoing diabolical legal scheme to take our civil
rights away. We will talk about that with Dr Harper,
and then a Republican focused group acknowledging the betrayal regarding
their president, their president, Doctor Harper. Yeah, well, doctor Harper,
(06:37):
let's get the rocking and rolling.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Okay, Have any of you in the listening audience ever
heard of the quote Convention of States project Convention of
States project? Well? The Convention of States is a nationwide
conservative grassroots movement utilizing Article five of the US Constitution,
which requires Congress to hold their congression convention once two thirds,
(07:02):
which means once thirty four of the fifty states legislatures
call for a convention to propose amendments to our constitution.
This empowered state legislatures to bypass Congress and propose constitutional
amendments directly. The Conventions of States Projects was launched in
twenty thirteen by the Citizens for Self Government political organization.
(07:22):
This organization has been the primary driver behind the Convention
of States Project, and its aim is to supposedly limit
federal government power and to bring government back to the
people through constitutional amendments. This organization provides the funding, strategic planning,
and grassroots lobbying of state legislators to bring forth the
thirty four states necessary to call for a convention.
Speaker 7 (07:45):
Now.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
When that occurs, then delegates to the Convention are selected
to propose amendments at the convention for debate. Then there
is a vote on the proposed amendments, followed by ratification
of the proposed amendments, which happens back in the states,
be passed by thirty eight of the fifty states in
order to become part of the US Constitution. Wikipedia notes
(08:07):
that a convention to propose amendments to the United States
Constitution is written in Article five of the Constitution itself,
Whereas when an application is submitted by thirty four state legislatures,
then Congress shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which
become law only after ratification by thirty eight of the
(08:28):
fifty states. So, in simple terms, there is a group
of MAGA conservatives who want to have a constitutional convention
to make amendments or changes to the American Constitution. Now,
in order for the Constitution convenues to take place, there
have to be thirty four states out of fifties that
put in application to amend the Constitution. Then the changes
(08:48):
or amendments to the Constitution can be ratified or officially
approved if thirty eight of the fifty states go along
with it. Now, the Citizens for Self Government says that
they're interested in constitutional amendments for the following reasons. Number
one fiscal restrictions meaning implementing a federal balanced budget amendment
and curbing federal spending powers. Number two federal jurisdiction limits
(09:11):
meaning directly reducing the overall regulatory scope, authority, and power
of the federal government. And number three term limits meaning
imposing term limits on members of Congress and other government officials. Now,
if you think about this, what the Citizens for Self
Government wants is not too much to ask. As a
matter of fact, the so called President and the puzzle
(09:33):
palace forming known as the White House has done a
considerable job in number one, curbing federal spending by robbing Medicare,
Medicaid and snap. Number two reducing the power of the
federal government by firing huge numbers of federal employees that
had authority and power in the federal government, and by
seeking ways to get limits for government officials. So why
(09:54):
is it even necessary to hold a costly convention to
amend the Constitution of America for these goals? They have
already been the focus of the Trump administration hurt forl
agenda already. So who in the MAGA cult is endorsing
this constitutional amendment scheme, Well, none other than Florida Governor
Ron DeSantis, Texas Governor got Greg Abbott, and Secretary of
(10:15):
Defense Pete Headsig, amongst many of the Baionaire Boys Club members.
So they say, they say that the only reason for
seeking a convention to propose amendments of the Constitution is
to deal with the federal government budget, the federal government's scope,
and to set term limits on members of Congress or
in general to quote stop the runaway power of the
(10:36):
federal government. However, Common Cause, which is an organization that
is fighting to reveal the true motives behind this convention
to change our Constitution, has written an article entitled quote
a constitutional convention with no guardrails is a real possibility.
We must stop it unquote. In the article, they write
that the far right extremist groups like the American Legislative
(10:59):
Exchange Council and wealthy interest groups have focused on holding
a constitutional convention which threatens the throwout our most basic
rights and freedoms while writing Project twenty twenty five like
policies into our Constitution. In fact, the Heritage Foundation, authors
of the Project twenty twenty five started supporting a constitutional
(11:19):
convention just after the Project twenty twenty five paper was released,
and that we all have to stand up against them now.
The Common Cause Organization admits that Article five of the
US Constitution requires Congress to hold a constitutional convention once
two thirds of state legislation, which means thirty four states
calls for one but the majority. But the major problem
(11:39):
is that there are no rules of doing this because
Article five of the Constitution doesn't give any explicit explanation
of what a convention would look like and what procedures
would be in place, and what issues, if any, would
be off limits. The article goes on to note that
since there are no rules for an Article five convention
change in the Constitution, and that leaves several major questions unanswered,
(12:02):
questions that would determine whether a constitutional convention would pose
a threat to our civil liberties, Like one, how will
delegates be chosen? Will there be any limits placed on
the role of well financed special interest groups in influencing
the selection of delegates? Number two? How will votes be
allocated amongst delegates? One person, one vote, one person per state,
(12:24):
or something else? Number three? What kinds of changes would
the convention consider? And number four, will the convention start
with the US Constitution or write an entirely new document,
which was what happened the first time that constitutional convention
was held in America in seventeen eighty seven, and so
much more. And while we the people would be unrepresented
(12:48):
in terms of the wealthy people would be well represented
in this particular process. Now, brothers and sisters, keep in
mind that civil rights groups and advocacy organizations like Common
Cause strongly oppose the price and overall critics express deep
concerns over a potential runaway convention that would call for
the change to our black, brown, yellow, red, LGBTQ and
(13:12):
women's civil rights groups. If a convention goes rogue, they say,
and decides to rewrite parts of the Bill of Rights,
like the First Amendment right to protest or the Fourteenth Amendment,
which guarantees birthrights, citizens and equal protection. It is highly
uncertain if the US Supreme Court will stepping in, as
courts historically view constitutional conventions as independent political entities. Now again,
(13:35):
who are these white sheet wearing Maga and beyonair Boy
club members who want to hold a constitutional convention number one,
they're extremist groups and the ultra wealthy Beionnaire boys see
a convention as the best pathway to write their far
right agenda into the Constitution. Two. The Convention of States,
and many wealthy businessmen have been leading voices in the
(13:56):
Calls Act for a Article five convention, which they see
as a crucial step in implementing their agenda, which goes
even further in extremism than Project twenty five agenda. Now
let's take, for example, the far right delusional belief that
America was founded as a Christian nation, which it was not.
(14:16):
But in spite of proof that America was not founded
as a Christian nation, white Christian nationalists racists keeps saying
that it is. They're also saying that since America is
a Christian nation, then its laws, institutions, and identity should
reflect fundamental Protestantism. So what if the Constitution Convention delegates
amend the Constitution to say that to be an American citizen,
(14:38):
one must be a Christian and to merge one's national
identity with one's religious faith, or if the delegates aim
amend the Constitution to say that all American laws should
be based on Christian disciplines. What if the delegates amend
the Constitution to say that America is the new Israel,
chosen by God and that is superiority is divinely appointed.
(14:58):
What if the delegates amend the Constitution to say that
there is no separation between church and state and church
should run things. Okay, so we have this as our example.
So what if, or better stated, when this becomes a
proposed amendment to the Constitution voted on by thirty two
or more state delegates and ratifyed by thirty eight or
(15:18):
more states, then as an amendment to the American Constitution,
it may be illegal to worship any other religion in America.
Maybe one would have to sign an oath to be
an American Christian for life, to live or die for
American white Christian nationalism. Or one could be whipped or
deported for worshiping a god other than the god of
white Christian nationalists. What if the amendment makes it a
(15:38):
part of law for you to have to prove that
you are a Christian in order to apply for a
driver's license, show proof of being a Christian to apply
for a job. Flash your Christian nationalists, medicaid or Medicaid
card before being given allowed to receive medical treatment, and
to accept as fact, to accept as fact that the
problems that black or brown or women or LGBT people
(16:01):
have is all due to their own sinful nature, and
that their lowly status in life and their limited civil
rights is God's punishment which is carried out by state
and where you live. This could be the same type
of action taken by amending the Constitution regarding the removal
and banning of all books or information that depicts America
as having a racist pass that depicts America as enslaving Africans,
(16:24):
that depicts America as anti feminist causes, that depicts America's
having committed genocide of Native Americans, that depicts America of
historical discrimination towards black, brown, yellow, red skinned people, women
at LGBT community as well. For example, if we were
discussing banning and burning black books which tells the true
story of atrocities committed by white enslavers dead and now,
(16:47):
then anyone writing, selling, reading, or teaching about accurate and
truthful African history would be arrested, possibly put on public display,
possibly deported, or be committed to an insane aside until
one is thoroughly given enough electric shock treatments, until they
have no memory of past events whatsoever. You don't believe me, then,
(17:09):
as mister T would say, I pity the fool that
you are when this convention comes about. What those in
the know fear most is what is referred to as
quote a runaway convention unquote, which is the fear that
the delegates at an Article five convention and constitution convention
called by the States to propose specific amendments to the Constitution,
(17:32):
will ignore their mandate and propose radical, sweeping changes to
the government, write a completely new constitution, or roll back
established civil rights. Remember, in Article five of the Constitution,
there are no established rules to prevent delegates from going
rogue and make it unpredictable changes such as getting rid
of the Bill of Rights, so they may approve of
(17:53):
an amendment to the Constitution that is illegal for women
to have certain civil rights meaning that her husband or
the male figure in the home will have full civil
rights and will represent her, or make it illegal to
implore any LGBTQ person illegal to write, read, or discuss
anything about the atrocities afflicted on African and African Americans.
(18:13):
By white Americans prior to it after the Civil War,
and if one does so, then they can be inprisoned
for twenty years for slandering the great God founded country
of America. Or make voting increasingly more difficult by having
to show proof that the person requesting to vote has
been a good American citizen and faithful to God and
country and making it and making abortions as well as
(18:34):
engaging in LBGT kind of lifestyle will be a crime
against humanity. My brothers and sisters, and my good authentic
democratics supported white brothers and sisters. We got to wake
up to what these racist whites, so called Christian nationists
are going to do. Don't believe me, Well, twenty states,
you hear me. There are twenty states that have passed
(18:54):
the Convention of States Project Article five application, which aims
to call a convention propose amendments to the Constitution of America.
Those states are Georgia, Alaska, Florida, Alabama, Tena, See, Indiana, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arizona,
North Dakota, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Utah, Mississippi, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Nebraska,
(19:24):
South Carolina, and Kansas. The Convention of States is coming
after our civil rights, and we must fight them in
order for these cherished rights to continue to exist. You'll
win this fight because we have to fight to win.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
So, doctor Harper.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
While this convention is separate from the Republican Convention, they can.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Get around it. They get around the Republican and Democratic
conventions and things like that, because all they need are
different are twenty with thirty four states legislators or people
in allegi just to say we want to go for
this change of the convention. Now, if thirty four other
states agree, then the Congress has to call for the convention. Now,
(20:11):
so far, the people who are going to re represent
in each state have to be have to be chosen.
So it doesn't have to be a politician, but they
have to be chosen. But if you think about that,
who these Republican rest States people are gonna pick. They're
gonna pick a back of person and a billionaire boy.
All right. Now, after they've made these changes, which they
say is only to restrict the federal government, we know,
(20:32):
dog on well, that Project twenty twenty five is going
to be part of those policies that they want to
have implemented. In the new constitution. So if they make
changes that take away the rights of certain people to vote,
take away the rights of women to have to have
a guarantee over her own bodies, or take away the
rights of LGBTQ plus people and all that, they'll be gone.
(20:55):
Particularly if that amendment is ratified, it then becomes constitutional,
and you must follow the Constitution, and that the Supreme
Court does not have the authority or right or don't
have the history of stepping in and saying you can't
do that. So again, these delegates can come together and
sidestep going through the usual process of changing the Constitution
(21:17):
and just decide that thirty eight to thirty four states
one that makes changes to the Constitution, and the Congress
has to call the convention together. Congress then steps back,
the delegates step forward, and they make the decisions on
what the amendment might be. Delegates, the delegates from each
of these states. Now keep in mind there are thirty
four states that thirty four states are needed to call.
(21:40):
To make the call, thirty eight states are needed to
make it ratify whatever they put in place, So places
like Illinois they're not going to be represented. They'll be represented,
but they'll be not voted, right, not voted because they
don't really don't have enough power. If thirty eight of
these southern red neck many instances states come together and
(22:01):
take these amendments in hand, they ratify them, it becomes
part of our constitution and it's final.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Wow, I want I want to, I want all of
you listening audience, Google that Google Google Convention of States
and now what what It's interesting when I when I,
when I, when I first went into Google, it basically said, well,
this is something like this would never happen. People wouldn't
do this, And you can't get thirty eight states to
agree with anything. Listen, you had millions of people that
(22:31):
agreed with Trump and they're still out there. Yes, and
we've got twenty states already that have signed up to
change the constitution, and most of those states are Republican states.
What do you think changes they're going to make are
the same thing that twenty twenty five is basically saying
in all of its policies, that's what's going.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
To happen to us.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Convention of States project, that's what it's called.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
That's what it's called.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Wow. Wow, we are talking this day.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
You may have a question or two for doctor Warren Harper.
First topic, it was the ongoing diabolical legal scheme to
take our civil rights away and they are trying to
do it. What what five three five nine the three
four two is our number? Eight hundred five zero three

Speaker 2 (24:45):
It's welcome back to w d i A, the Heart
and Soul of Memphis. We are talking with our behavioral
political health consultant, doctor Warren Harper. He was talking about
happy ongoing diabolical legal scheme to take our civil rights away.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Doctor Harper.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I'm going to our phone lines to talk with Marcus Hi.
Speaker 9 (25:13):
Marcus jestingly the greetings and greetings to the great doctor Harper.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Greetings, Marcus.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
You know, doctor Harper, you know what the negro is say.
Speaker 10 (25:25):
You know, he said, Doctor Harper, don't talk her that
you could get.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
Us in trouble.
Speaker 11 (25:30):
You know, look, you know that the Harper.
Speaker 10 (25:36):
Ain't no slush to black people, you know, doctor Harper, you.
Speaker 7 (25:40):
Know there is.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
I don't think so.
Speaker 10 (25:43):
And I was listening to some panelists they and they said, look, the.
Speaker 7 (25:47):
Only slushas where black people know is.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
At locks black nationalism.
Speaker 11 (25:56):
We have tried everything else.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
We have much, we have prayed, we have.
Speaker 10 (26:03):
The old listen wash black people is art and US
Pan Africanism, black nationalism.
Speaker 11 (26:11):
And we ain't got to hang out here no more,
Black people.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
We are free.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
The change are off.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
But there's some psychological stimuli that.
Speaker 10 (26:22):
Keep us hanging out here, keep us wanting approval from
these people who don't care about black people. Doctor Happer,
can you shed a light and that what is the
stimuli that keep us wanting approval from people who don't
care nothing about us?
Speaker 5 (26:45):
And I'll hung up and listen.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Tanti very much, thank you, Marcus. You know, when you
look at the literature on abuse, you find out that
that when a child is physically abused, it's very traumatic
cause all kind of difficulties, as well as when the
child is being most abused, emotional abuse is even worse
when you call all kind of names and made to
look at yourself in a terrible way. The sad reality
(27:07):
is that many children, and many times most children that
have been physically abused, still run towards the parent who
is abuser. They still because they still they want to
be accepted, they want to be loved, they want to
be taken care of, they want to be forgiven because
they think that they've done something wrong all the time.
So that's what I see as part of the problem here.
(27:29):
You know, we continue to want to run to that
white master and with the hope that at some point
they're going to save us or extricate us from the
situation that we find ourselves in, and it's never going
to happen. Other people are just afraid to do anything
because they don't know what to do and where to go.
Many people are moving over to Ghana, but many people
don't have money to go to Ghana. You don't. My
(27:51):
wife and I are supporting a school in Liberia, all right.
It takes a certain amount of money each month to
give these children water and food every day, but we're
doing it and we have supporters throughout memphys who are
helping us what I'm getting at is that if I
don't know where I'm going and I don't know how
I'm going to support myself when I get there, I'm
(28:12):
not gonna leave. And see many people who are who
are now looking at the economy and thinking, well, hell,
if I leave this country, they may cut off my
benefits because they may say I'm not an American citizen anymore.
We don't know what this insane government, this racist government,
is going to do to punish people who try to
escape to Canada for a while. Cut off your social
(28:33):
Security check, cut off your government pension. How you're gonna
stay in Ghana? Then, how you're gonna stay in Canada.
Then how you're gonna get back since you've left, they
tear up your card. So, brother Barkers, there are all
kinds of reasons. And you know, I think that the
whole issue of being abused for so many years throughout
slavery and since then has caused too many of us
(28:54):
own to only want to be forgiven for a sin
that we never committed and to be accepted by white people.
And therefore we don't want to really change enough until
we get a foot up our rear end and we
kicked out our.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Home before I go to our phone lines. Hold on, y'all,
hold on, Doc Harper. Some may say, okay, in is
market space, we maybe have to skape go back to Africa.
Some folks are saying, well, hell in Africa, there is
war going on between the different countries.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
That's exactly right. And if we look at that historically,
the countries that have started the war within the countries
where the Europeans and the Americans that would assassinate some
of the leaders of those particular countries. That aside, the
fact is Africa is in turmoil. They have internal wars.
So you're right, going to any African country at this
(29:44):
particular point may be the riskiest thing you can do.
And the sad reality is that being here may be
the safest thing you can do. So I understand it.
I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I heard some people talking about that and says, well,
folks will go to Africa. Well, they're fighting in Africa.
The Africans are fighting against one another, you know.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
The thing.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
The thing is also is that w E. B. Du
Boys decided that he was going to give.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Up on America. He said he just can't take it
any longer. And believe me, if people have the money
and they have that they have that spirit amongst them,
then that's probably what you need to do. And if
you do that and everything is going well there, then
tell us about it and then maybe we can we
can gent up enough people that want to actually see
that as a possibility.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Yeah. And also, doctor Harper, a lot of people are
moving to the Caribbean.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Now that's that's also a place to go, right.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
But see the thing, if you have the money to
do that.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
The thing about think about the Caribbean, is that any
any place like that that that that that has the money,
that has hotels. Yeah, they're easy picking for Trump and
his hotel chain and those other folks who want to
come in and invade your country. Like you talking about
invading Cuba. Why would you invade? Why you turn off
the lights in Cuba so you can take over the
(30:59):
country and start pushing people away wherever they need to
go out of the way, so you can tear down
all those old buildings and put up casinos and have
you an American Cuban being their boys club? What place
to go?
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Going to our phone lines to talk with you? W
d I a high caller. Hello, hire you on the air.
Speaker 12 (31:24):
Thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
I'll make this quick.
Speaker 12 (31:27):
We're asking the athletes to boardcott the Southeastern Conference in
the Southern state, but we need to reach out and
ask the coaches as well as the chancellors and the
vice the presidents of the college to speak out on
this injustice. And in the second phase of this is.
Speaker 13 (31:48):
The corporate America. The CEOs need to speak out as well.
You don't have to change political bodies, but this is wrong.
Speaker 12 (31:56):
Yes, and people that what's the slogan, E will exist
when good people.
Speaker 13 (32:03):
Don't speak out. That's all I have to say for
to day. Thank you for listening.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
You're welcome, Thank you for your call.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I want to say that that well, just a few
days ago the NAACP and the Congressional Black CAU because
I was talking about this athletes and we kind of
mentioned it the other day we were talking doctor Harper.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
But you think about and it was something that David
said that.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
A lot of these black athletes who are playing in
these SEC conferences, you know, they're poor, and so they're
going to go for the money. And I understand that,
but do you really think something like that.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Is good.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
You know. I think when we start calling for specific
groups to boycott or to pull out of certain things,
I think that we're short changing everything. I mean, why
just call for them? Why don't we call for every
every organization or every group to do that right, and
and and and and and really really put some emphasis
(33:08):
on the fact that we all have to basically come
together to force these folks to get off our back
and make sure that we get our rights. It's not
just the athletes at the school. What are them?
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:18):
What about what about all these black these black actors
we have? What about what about all these black these
these these these European brothers that are over here basically
that change their accent and can talk like the rest
of us to bring all these jobs down? What about
the black business men and women? What about the black
mayors and and and and throughout this country? What? What
(33:39):
about everybody? What about the black psychologists? Dammit? In terms
of what we're doing, so the black sociologists, the black engineers,
it needs to be a call for all of us
because they're coming down on all of us, not the athletes,
not the coaches. They're coming after all of our rights,
and they're gonna get it as long as you're sitting
around there thinking, well, I hope the athletes with boycott.
(34:01):
Damn it, why don't you boycott?
Speaker 7 (34:02):
Right?
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Yeah? W d I a Shortie Mack?
Speaker 9 (34:08):
Hey beb I got lost touch for a minute.

Speaker 7 (34:25):
Doctor.
Speaker 11 (34:25):
How can I say something right quick?
Speaker 9 (34:29):
We in praierless time, Doctor Hoppin, tell me praidless time.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
A friend of mine called me this morning.
Speaker 11 (34:39):
He said, Man, explain this to me.
Speaker 12 (34:42):
He said.
Speaker 9 (34:43):
He said, Trump ensued it in turn of revenue something right,
don't weaponized, something about weaponization, and he's goin to make
sure the Proud Boys get a check for the reparations.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
Right right.
Speaker 11 (34:59):
I'm like, I said, Man, I ain't just.
Speaker 9 (35:01):
That, just all that yet, I said, He said, I know,
you know, I said, you better ask doctor Hopper what
the hell going on?
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (35:10):
Doctor?
Speaker 14 (35:10):
What we gonna do?
Speaker 15 (35:11):
Man?
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Well, you know I just spent about two minutes saying
that we all have to come together and basically raise
our voices and basically pull our money away from anybody
that does not does not agree with us, that our
rights need to be in full force, and that no
one should have their hands on it. We need to
have an economic boycott throughout this entire country, right, we
need to.
Speaker 9 (35:34):
We don't have to do something, doctor Hopper. But I
ain't lost none over in Africa. They have their own product.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
I hear what you're saying.
Speaker 7 (35:42):
You know you got the.
Speaker 9 (35:43):
Bowlers, you got them, they still got them. Tribal wars,
this this, this trive Aginstead, try this country.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
Man, I ain't going on.
Speaker 9 (35:52):
I was going and raised in America. I hope we
can work out things here. It's ridiculous, Dacha Hopper. Uh,
how does Trump showing all these people and then let
this guy get away with this stuff and then it's
all to advantage to him his friends and family.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Well, that's.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
Just white supremacy. It's done, got too for That's exactly
I don't.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
And you keep on, y'all, have a good day, you too, shorty,
mag You know.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
It just it just goes to show you how how
white privilege. See Yeah, see for the first time, if
you didn't see it before, you see what white privilege does.
White privilege says, if the laws, if every law, do
whatever the hell you want to do, you know, take
bribes from other country, charge other countries to for to
get your respect to what have you. You know, don't
(36:43):
worry about any any consequences. Do whatever the hell you want.
Why because you're white and you have you have you
have a right to do anything you want to do
because you are white. And that's what we need to
understand now. There are no there are no laws that
that a white man has to respect at this particular
point because we have basically, we have basically allowed them
(37:06):
to have so much power over us, psychological power as well,
that we don't feel like we can do a damn
thing to stop them at this point, right, And maybe
we can't, but we should be able to.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
And you know what doctor Harper I was singing about.
Shorty Max says that that Trump is suing everybody. I'm
taking an RS and then the RS comes from the
little people who can't pay their little taxes.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
And then they'll send you a letter gonna take.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Your home or take come on y'all white privilege and
class privilege. Yes, bellionaire boys clubs do not have to
abide by anybody rules, anybody's rules. That's why Trump said
before he was elected, he can go out and shoot somebody, right,
and we wouldn't be charged with the thing. And he
gets away with all of it because he doesn't give
(37:54):
a damn about the laws. He recognized the laws don't control,
They don't even apply to him to be in their
write w.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
D I a high caller? Oh?
Speaker 16 (38:06):
How you doing, miss Johnson?
Speaker 7 (38:07):
How you doing?
Speaker 16 (38:08):
Doctor mister California? How are you, mister California? Now, look,
you know, for me, I'm about as sharp as a marble.
I'm gonna tell you, but I have two questions, One
for doctor Harper, one for miss Johnson. I'll start from
missus Johnson first, girls always first, Missus Johnson. I've been
(38:29):
kind of looking at the education system in schools and
the question for you I have is what do you
think is the problem between education our kids not being
able to read and write and learn and everything else,
And what do you think the problem is with that?
(38:49):
And doctor Harper, the question to you is is that
why can't people hear what you're saying, for some reason,
our black people can not here. I think you and
I think there's a Reverend Barbara Williams that's always putting
this information out, but for some reason, we just can't
(39:10):
hear you. And now I'm gonna go ahead and hang
up and listen to you.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
Thank you, mister California. Bye b.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
When we and our answer when we talk about education,
doctor Harry, I believe not all school systems are bad.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
Correct, Not all of them are bad.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
And I don't know, Miss California.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
You've probably been hearing about what's going on in Memphis
and our Memphis Shelby County Board of Education. There's a
lot of things wrong with that, but I will say
that not all systems school systems are bad. You have
children across this country who are learning, who are reading.
(39:53):
But for here in Memphis, we've got to get it together.
And I still say this, doctor Harpark that on that board,
I think we need educators.
Speaker 5 (40:03):
You have to.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
You need some educators who know something about education and
a maturity. Come on, brother, Because I say this all
the time, mister California, I grew up in the school
system in Michigan. As matter of fact, I was telling
a young man yesterday. I was telling Cam I said,
my school system. I was telling him all the things
(40:24):
that we had, and he said, what y'all had swimming
pools in the high school in June. I said, yes,
you have your knowing.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
We had all the My school system was a plus,
mister California.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
We had swimming pools, we had a curriculum, we had
we had I remember in sixth grade, we had a
French teacher come in twice a week.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
That's sixth grade. So I can't speak for.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
The whole country education, mister California, because I don't know,
but I say here in Memphis, it needs an overhaul.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
True, Doctor Harper, what do you say your question?
Speaker 3 (41:03):
He asked you, Well, I think that many people don't
want to hear what I'm saying because they see me
as being radical right. They see me as being a
loud mouth. They see me being against America, They see
me starting to start in trouble. They see me as
anti white, they see me as someone that is going
to upset the Apple card, and see they see me
(41:28):
as someone who can't be right because they still believe
in white superiority and that white should be able to
dictate what is right and wrong in this country. Nevertheless,
the bottom line is that you don't have to listen
to me. Twenty twenty five happened to you, and if
(41:50):
you don't understand and wake up that twenty twenty five
is still happening, is going to continue to happen to you.
You don't need to be alive yourself. You just gonna
go find somewhere to go and stay there and hide because,
believe me twenty twenty five, which I talked about that
project years ago. You want to listen to me, then no,
you don't want to listen to me when it comes
(42:10):
to Constitution of States where they're going to take away
our rights by going bypassing Congress and putting in all
kinds of things in the constitution where you won't have
a right to protest right and you don't want to
listen to that either. Do it because it's kind of hard.
What did doctor Harper say? Thirty two states, thirty eight states?
Look it up? Thank you, look it up, Start reading,
(42:31):
Start being educated, folks. The weeks they're getting over us
because we're stupid people. Too many of us are stupid people.
Too many of us not all stupid people. We don't
want to read, we don't want to face the reality
of what we're seeing out there.
Speaker 4 (42:44):
That mean, when you go to the grocery store, what
do you see? Reality? Okay, your electric bill?
Speaker 3 (42:49):
Reality when it comes to our schools not being well
equipped to to provide the education that they need to
be provided, reality okay, So you see reality in you
or do you have your eyes wide shut?
Speaker 7 (43:03):
Right?
Speaker 3 (43:04):
Who knows? W D I a high caller?
Speaker 4 (43:09):
W And let me say this again. I hate to
keep saying this every week.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Not if you do, Doctor Harper to our callers, I
will answer the phone and put you on hold. You
won't hear anything. And you think I didn't answer the phone.
Just hold on, y'all, Just just hold on.
Speaker 4 (43:28):
I'm holding on.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Dr.
Speaker 4 (43:29):
I keep cringing, but just hold on. Thank you for waiting.
W D I a high caller.
Speaker 7 (43:36):
Hey man, how you doing?
Speaker 4 (43:38):
I'm doing Hebrew? Hey, big Hebrew? How are you?
Speaker 5 (43:42):
I'm doing one?
Speaker 3 (43:42):
But Dr Harble with you, Yes, sir, how are you?
Speaker 7 (43:46):
Man?
Speaker 17 (43:46):
I'm playing good like a Hebrew shoe. An excellent topic today,
Doctor Hobble.
Speaker 7 (43:51):
I can say this, yere. I feel the same way
people look at me and I get under their skin and.
Speaker 17 (43:56):
They think I'm against black folking. They think I'm against
them America because I haven't understanding of the Bible. Do
y'all know that the Bible is about black people? Do
y'all know that twelve brothers from ancient times are still
on the earth and their seed doctor arbu what I
just said.
Speaker 7 (44:17):
I want y'all to.
Speaker 17 (44:18):
Really personal internalize what I just said. They're still on
the earth.
Speaker 7 (44:23):
So when I speak and when I'm speaking.
Speaker 17 (44:25):
About the Bible and us being black people, I'm talking
about this is a plus. This is a plus for
us as a.
Speaker 18 (44:33):
People to know that the most High chose us, Moses
went on the mountain Doncdtherlin and got lost statues and
commandments and came back down and taught us those laws.
Speaker 7 (44:45):
But we didn't keep from Don Carber. That's what the
whole Bible is about. And right now, Bell, we're in
the last days.
Speaker 17 (44:52):
We're in the last days and voting wanting this country
to do whatever we want to do for us. It's
over with because it's not biblical the most time right
now and I'm gonna ain't.
Speaker 7 (45:04):
Closing black people.
Speaker 17 (45:06):
He's about to get me evil on this nation, just
like in Egypt when the Death Angel came through Egypt
and you had to.
Speaker 7 (45:14):
Have the blood of the lamb over the door. See
that lamb represents truth.
Speaker 17 (45:19):
We can't. We always lie to through religion, Dr Harper, Bell,
and we need to wake up to who we are
because we don't do not one thing. Bell that the
Bible says doe. And I'm not saying that to ridicru
or a point of finger. I'm saying this is what
our ancestors did, and God punished us.
Speaker 7 (45:40):
He said He's gonna scatter us on the very ships,
and we will be so to our enemy.
Speaker 17 (45:45):
And they've proven to be our enemy. Bell Johnson, Doctor Harber,
I say what I say. I love y'all because we
have no idea what's about to happen.
Speaker 7 (45:55):
These people. Dr Harper, I only agree with you.
Speaker 17 (45:57):
They're evil.
Speaker 7 (45:59):
This something he was about it. It's between two brothers.
Speaker 11 (46:02):
Field Baby, all right.
Speaker 3 (46:06):
Thank you, big Hebrew, Thank you, brother, appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (46:10):
W D I a high caller.
Speaker 7 (46:15):
Hell on man, hey, chaplain commons, Yes, ma'am, it's me.
Speaker 4 (46:21):
How you doing that?
Speaker 3 (46:23):
Chaplin?
Speaker 19 (46:25):
Got good?
Speaker 1 (46:25):
You gotta say to that this and uh, doctor Hobby,
they've got a they've got a joke in the deck.
Speaker 7 (46:32):
I'm gonna tell you that a whole lot.
Speaker 19 (46:34):
Of Vietnam veterrooms still live. Yes, And the thing going through.
Speaker 1 (46:39):
The troops is that we only want one war in
World War two and everywhere else we've ben worked in
Korea and Vietnam, and they don't like it. And a
lot of these people are not I mean he they
said against Trump and everything like that. The thing you
(46:59):
do the country man years, you know. But I got
reined up because this is this is amazing. But the flood,
the school system, doctor Hobby, and up until nineteen fifty four,
the school decision, you know, the Supreme Court and people misunderstanding.
He didn't that for integration. He asked for them to
have people opportunity to have the same thing that looked
(47:22):
he watching whatever.
Speaker 7 (47:23):
But our school system was.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
Since the man that a black high school. I know
you probably heard over in the country when Paul nothing
about school. Yes, we top, We was on their tail.
We was on them that I was tell what I
was standing. We were going by and when the the
proctice came out and tested us after the tests had
been given and we discovered that they came to just retest.
Speaker 5 (47:50):
That because we couldn't be scoring that half right.
Speaker 7 (47:52):
But all they did was put wood on the fire.
Speaker 19 (47:56):
Because you see, we walked to school over a mile
and we had.
Speaker 1 (48:01):
We had studied period from the time we left home
to school the school in mic.
Speaker 19 (48:06):
And so we just ex sailed everywhere.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
And when I retired, doctor Harbor, I came home and
I was it came in nineteen seventy eight, and I
was so shocked, and uh, I'll just give it a
tail express. They had commissioned some people and include the marine.
We went out the different schools and when I would
go to the school, we had white teachers over our
(48:29):
elementary school children. They were cow they would sell work.
They just looked they looking better.
Speaker 5 (48:35):
I went to were.
Speaker 1 (48:36):
Classroom where they had black teachers. They had the hand
raiser they wan't. Nobody just want to know about that.
You know, different countries I was in and all that
kind of stuff and electronics and all of that stuff
was done.
Speaker 7 (48:47):
And I was shocked.
Speaker 1 (48:48):
In that's a short time time I was, you know,
went in in the even fifty five. But then I
got back in seven eight. I thought I was living
in another place.
Speaker 19 (48:56):
I could not believe.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
I never heard a third grader who couldn't read. I
couldn't understand. I never heard the first grader who couldn't
read right about to say, you got through the teach
and by the time you got tough Son's School.
Speaker 7 (49:08):
To your church, sister Betty, you can read.
Speaker 4 (49:11):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (49:12):
That was nothing. And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (49:14):
I'm just I'm just frustrated, and I'm on mind.
Speaker 7 (49:17):
Praise God.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
I got one great granddaughter, this became a valedictorian, and
I have another granddaughter who just got a master's degree
in California. So you're coming to step I'm still choking
them out, making it. I'll get on them. I'm putting
the teat in their pocket.
Speaker 4 (49:33):
Light laping.
Speaker 1 (49:36):
All right, you think you for doing it?
Speaker 5 (49:39):
Thank you?
Speaker 4 (49:39):
Chaplin coments Yeah, Jackline comanis is right.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
We were we were talking about that reading of one
of my friends, doctor Harper, and we could read in
first grade.
Speaker 3 (49:47):
It was run spot Run. You could read first grade, man.
I said it so many times on your program. Right,
I've talked with David about it, and you know, mo
LEAs even talk. I can't understand why we can't read.
I don't want as a psychology I got. I got
these degrees, but for some rear I can't figure that out.
Because that should be the simplest thing to do. Let
(50:10):
us have sounds, yes, two, let us together make a sound,
three or four? Make a word. What's the problem. But
see that's my simplistic way. But to me, that's the
only way it makes sense to me. Underspoken. Our kids
can't read that.
Speaker 5 (50:24):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (50:24):
I don't understand it either.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
And as Chaplin Commings said, we read and when you
went to Sunday school at church, you in Sunday School.
Speaker 4 (50:31):
I know we would had to read.
Speaker 3 (50:32):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 2 (50:34):

When Doctor King was living and doctor Harper, you said
the keyword. That's what I called in. You said economic,
hold your money. And doctor King said, he said economic,
we could kill him. And what he means, come together,
pool your money, work together, do what we need to do,
know when to do it.
Speaker 6 (54:43):
How to do it.

problem with them white people. They're humor. But that's what
we got to do. We got to come together. And
you said the economic, I said, hold your money. Economic.
It works, It works, It worked, doctor King said many
years ago. And I feel safe when I treat people.
I said economic, we could do them, I said, But
then I tell crease some people too. Yeah, we'll say
(55:06):
we know we are. I know you all are. But dad,
something we got to do. Faith it dad it doll work,
Get up off your hands, vote, do what you need
to do and come together and you will see a
big difference. That's right, and we're gonna We're gonna make it.
We gonna keep the faith. But that's what I wanna
say to people. I know they are listening, but that's
something else we got to do outside. I know by prayer,
(55:27):
I know by prayer, but fee praying you can pray
all you want. When you get up off your knees,
you got to go do something.
Speaker 2 (55:32):
That's right, I say, Miss Mary, make your prayers equal
to your performance.
Speaker 21 (55:37):
You said that, and now listen to you. I said.
She's telling the crew what are you gonna do after
you pray? You're gonna go set down? That's right, that
don't work. So we got to get up, come together,
do what we need to do. When God the Hobble says,
economic can pool our money together, work, it's right from
all we gotta to do. But listen, we have come
to far the turnaround. We can make it. I said,
(55:58):
we're gonna make it all right, miss Mary. Thank you
for letting me speak.
Speaker 4 (56:02):
You welcome, Miss Mary, Thank you. W D I A
Hi Norman, Hey ma'am, how are you? I'm blacktastic?
Speaker 3 (56:11):
Brother?
Speaker 4 (56:11):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (56:13):
May?
Speaker 7 (56:14):
Have you already know?
Speaker 19 (56:14):
You know what you have to say? I'm black tasting?
Speaker 7 (56:17):
Hey, Doc?
Speaker 19 (56:17):
How you doing?
Speaker 3 (56:18):
I'm brother, I'm black tastic as well.
Speaker 19 (56:21):
There you go, Doc, you already know it. You already
know it. Your beautiful white she's black tasting too always.
Speaker 11 (56:28):
Hey, lizen, Doc.
Speaker 19 (56:30):
Based on what I've heard you say, how have you been?
How have your man, I haven't heard from you in
a long time.
Speaker 4 (56:34):
Doing well, doing well, doing okay.
Speaker 19 (56:38):
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, doc Based on what I heard you say,
what you were teaching us for a moment ago. From
the perspective, from the African village perspective, what can we
do to create a solution for some of these issues
and problems that we're faced with right now? I mean,
(57:00):
I know we have a lot of community means, a
lot of talk, but we need we need some solution.
What are some of the solutions that come to mind
for you?
Speaker 3 (57:08):
Well, you know I've said this before and just kind
of stick with me. Unity in the community gives us
an opportunity for immunity, immunity from what from all the
hell that we received by being in this country and
being of African descent. We we have to come together
as a people and we have to basically put our
(57:29):
our collective knowledge and our history, and and our and
and and our our our funds together to basically bring
this country to a halt until it recognizes who we
are and the fact that that we are equal in
terms of our rights. Then everyone else in this country,
it's like everyone else in this country. You know, we
(57:51):
do have to bring ourselves together. We do have to
get out there on the on the street again and
use our our use our ai AI for us as
ancestral intelligence. We have to be out there like we
were back in the sixties. We got to go back
to it now. I know many of you don't want
to do that because nowadays we may have ice spreading,
you would all kind of crazy stuff. But by the
(58:13):
same token, we got to go back to the streets again.
We got to have we have to have artists who
are basically developing poems and things like that that talk
about the strength that we're in. We have to have
singers who were talking about, like Marvin Gaye was talking
about what's going on?
Speaker 5 (58:26):
What have you?
Speaker 7 (58:27):
We need to have.
Speaker 3 (58:28):
We need to have millionaires and billionaires out there who
are supportive of what we're trying to do. We need
to have teachers that are committed to teaching our kids
not only about the ABC's but about civil rights so
that they grow up knowing that they're supposed to have
those we need to have. We need to have politicians
that are dedicated to serving the people and listening to
what the people want, not ending up with a damn
(58:51):
must kind of building over there. And just because giving
off all that pollution by asking you the questions are
giving you an opportunity to talk about these things that
you don't want, they already decided to have it done.
So we need to have all hands on deck. We
need to have those those of our race and those
who be people who care about about humanity from economics, economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, medicine,
(59:16):
and war. We need to have persons from all those
institutions to come together and basically say to this president
and say to those who are who are backing him,
that we're not gonna take it anymore, and we're gonna
do everything in our power to legally basically get rid
of them and reinstitute a godly transition towards our humanity.
Speaker 19 (59:41):
Wow, that's powerful, Doctor, and that's so powerful, and that's
exactly what we're gonna do. We're gonna we're gonna pull up, Doc,
and we're gonna do what we've always done, but we're
gonna do it on a mass scale.
Speaker 7 (59:53):
Now.
Speaker 19 (59:54):
We're gonna really get into the community and talk to the.
Speaker 22 (59:58):
Young people and talk to about ers and others about
what's really going on, because I tell you, not only
does it brings about UH fear, it brings about we
become we begin to struggle with anxiety, We start arbing
about stressing about these things, and we already have enough
(01:00:19):
on our backs, We have enough on our shoulders already.
Now there's coming at us, man in all different directions now,
and UH, you know it's and a lot of our people,
sadly enough, in the hood, deep in the hood, they
don't have a clue of what's going on because they're
not connected to the information. They're not connected to the UH,
(01:00:39):
to the internet, other than the mess the love of
our people watching fighting and all the other craziness. But Doc,
we got to get them connected some kind of win,
and I think the best way to do that is
to go back to the neighborhoods. Like you said, We've
been doing that about food, about clothing, about UH, teaching
our history and culture. But we got to get a
little bit deeper with that. So I appreciate that so
(01:01:01):
very much from you, and I always appreciate whether you
and bad have always done for us. This helps us
so much more than you will ever know. Again, thank you,
so much, man.
Speaker 11 (01:01:11):
I love that you welcome.
Speaker 4 (01:01:12):
Thank you, Norman. Bye bye, Wdia, Hi Carler.
Speaker 5 (01:01:20):
Good afternoon, Doctor Harper, and Miss Beale Johnson.
Speaker 4 (01:01:24):
Holl A, good afternoon, Carl. How are you?
Speaker 5 (01:01:27):
I am fine and welcome back to the city. Miss
Beverly Johnson, well, thank you, thank you doctor Harper. When
you started out today on their program, You're right, sir,
We'll go deeper than that. After twenty thirteen, Fox News
promoting this situation about state representing the thirty four stakes.
(01:01:50):
Back then, people didn't know it whatever they were doing,
and the objective eels to make sure on prejudicial lessons.
If they can get those thirty four states, they will
not get thirty eight because too many governors. Where they
get thirty four, they will have an amendment that they
will be the only people to serve five right because
(01:02:10):
of the United States. Are okay, now, let me get
to this, and they don't good to something else. People
in Memphis numbers are not emotional. People are I've been
looking at the lap five ninety eight, five and eight
are de looted. Their population has dropped too. Even when
(01:02:31):
they divide mesis up into thirty percent to each district,
you are still the second largest city in the state.
So if you decide to find a candidate that can
appeal to those farmers who are losing stuff, and those
people who have to pay all that havegh prices, and
the people who lost their nursing homes and hospitals, you
can turn this around and make us sixty three for
(01:02:53):
the stay of Tennessee. But it depends on one thing
and forgiving me bails and doctor harpers and say this,
you laid the people that mephist kills your but to
go vote. You can pray all you want. I like prayer,
but get up and go vote and get your chairman
to go with you. Because reason young people don't know
anything about this else I'm sorry are they don't teach
syrance and student anymore, and they sure the hell don't
(01:03:14):
teach economics. Now, before I believe doctor Harpin Bell just
I got to get this off my chance as well.
The reason we are in this mess right now is
because the three things that don Trump Senior, that been
associated with indirectly and directly when he first came out,
will make Americas great again. The key world was again
(01:03:39):
no journalists, no journalist, Bill ask this question, Well, mister Trump,
whimber the last year Americans stopped being great. He had
to give a year. If that question ever asked of him.
Whatever year he gave, then you would go back and
do research and realize, oh, he wants to go back
(01:04:00):
in nineteen sixty five or nineteen fifty four or two
thousand and nine where things change for the black race.
Then you would paddle him with that and he would
never be elected. Number two, Mary Garland. He slow fulled
Don Trump Senior as him been doing some reason of reading.
(01:04:20):
One of the theories were he did not want to
be the first attorney general to put a sitting president
in jail. He did not want that on his legency.
So that's why he's slow footed and last, but not
least Republican party. You have a chance to teach him
to get rid of him. You was, you had this
idea where he's old, he just wanted to be happy
for a while. He would go away. If those three
(01:04:43):
things would happen, Doctor Harper, we would not be in
this message we are in right now. So I'd like
get your comments on that, you and deal, because that's
would happen. We think about it. Those three things if
anything is done, we will not be in this mess
we are in right now. Thank you for allow me
to talk. And now I'm going calm down, Bill, Go.
Speaker 4 (01:05:01):
Calm down, Carl. Thanks Carl, Bye bye, Carl.
Speaker 3 (01:05:05):
There really is nothing that I can add to it.
You're exactly right. It appears as if we were playing
soft soft touch football years ago, when we should be
basically been playing a hard game and basically bringing our
opponents down because that's what they need to do. They
need to be down and oppressed because if not, they're
(01:05:26):
going to rise up and they're going to continue to
oppress us. So you know, again I talked about this
last time. You know, Democrats, where are you right now?
Where are you? Every day this president does something more atrocious?
Where are you? Where are you? And see, the sad reality,
brothers and sisters, is that these democrats ain't quite democrat
(01:05:50):
no more. Because see, there's so much money going to
these Republicans who basically are keeping their mouths shut, that
some of these democrats must want to keep some of
that money coming to them as well. Because because if
we were talking about taking care of some of these
white democrats' rights, taking their rights from them, they'd speak up,
but for some reason, as I mentioned before, white privilege
(01:06:11):
basically allows them to kind of skirt under this and
not do a damn thing. And we're the ones that
are basically developing anxiety and what have you because we
can't figure out when it's going to be a stop
to all this of this madness. I read an article
this morning by Robert Wright, who was used to be
the former Secretary of Labor under Clinton, and again he
was talking about post traumatic stress disorder that many Americans
(01:06:34):
now are suffering from PTSD from this whirlwind up of
craziness that this president has brought about. And he's right,
there's too much anxiety out here now because you don't
know from one day to the next whether or not
the country is going to be at war, and whether
or not that war is going to impact you, and
how much is going to impact you every day, and
it's causing people have to be under tremendous amounts of
(01:06:57):
strain and stress. And so depression is going to increase.
Homicidal behavior increased, leuicidal behavior is going to increase. All
those things that you don't want to happen is going
to happen, even even more and more, because when people
are under stressed and strained, their ability to think and
process information and their correct way is out the window.
Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
Right, And doctor Harper, I'm getting ready to that you
continue our second topic. And I was thinking about when
you were talking about we need more people like the
Marvin Gabe, So what's going on? And I thought about
another person, Gil Scott Heron, who says the revolution will
not be televised. That's exactly right, exactly the revolution will
not that's right to be televised, all right, doctor Harper.
(01:07:40):
His topic a Republican focus group acknowledges betrayal regarding their president,
doctor Harper.
Speaker 3 (01:07:49):
People who cannot admit their wrong are often described as obstinate, narcissistic,
or having psychological rigidity. They frequently use defense mechanism like
blaming others or deflecting or rewriting it events to protect
their fragile egos. Common terms used to describe these people
are terms like stubborn, incouragible deniers or gas lighters. But
(01:08:09):
it is refreshing to find that there are some Trump
supporters who can admit that they were wrong and that
they see the idiocy behind this unhinged fool in the
White House, even if it's only for a while. So
what am I talking about? Well, I came across a
focused group report. Now, a focus group is a research
method conducted with a small group of people, guided by
(01:08:31):
a moderator or a leader, to discuss certain topics and
to gather information about one's behavior or what person's thoughts are.
The focus group was conducted by quote Opinion America in
Focus unquote, and it was composed of twelve adult participants.
Four were Latino, one was black, five were white, one
(01:08:52):
was Asian, and one was mixed race. The title of
the focus group report was quote Disappointed, Surprised, betrayed twelve
Trump voters on what has gone wrong? Unquote. The report
starts out by saying that the focused group of people
who voted for Trump were disappointed with this second term,
and a few said that they even regretted their voting
(01:09:12):
for him and that they did not feel good about
the direction the country is going. Their frustration mostly came
in three categories, one the implementation of Trump's immigration policies,
two the Iran War, and three the continued high cost
of living. Some also said that they felt frustrated or
embarrassed because they were some from families where their democratic
(01:09:33):
relatives had predicted what would happen. The moderator or the
leader asked for the participants in the focus group to
finish this sentence, and the sentence went like this, quote,
I'm feeling blank about the country these days. The responses
from the twelve participants were quote disappointed and sad, disappointed
and hopeful, concerned, worried, anxious, frustrated, annoyed, discouraged, surprised and
(01:09:59):
dis scouraged, concerned, apathetic, and betrayed. Unquote. They also were asked,
have you felt this way for the last year and
since Donald Trump has been in office? Or have you
felt this way for a longer time than that. One
participant said, quote, it's hard to get home. I've been
in an apartment forever. I don't really see any hope
(01:10:20):
for that kind of thing. Another participants said, all these
additional taxes that are coming out, money not being spent well,
just no accountability whatsoever. And with the current administration, it
is something new every week. Doge venezuela immigration this week
the president's fusing with the pope. I'm very disappointed. I
served in the military. There is a reason why I
(01:10:42):
voted for Trump. Usually Republicans are pro military, but this
whole conflict with their rant is just uncalled for unquote. Next,
the moderator asked them to talk about why they voted
for Trump, and when participants said, quote, I felt like
I had a better chance of a little hope with Trump.
I was hoping that IRE and other branches would help
keep him in check. Stop there.
Speaker 4 (01:11:04):
They knew it.
Speaker 3 (01:11:05):
They knew it, but they denied it. They knew that
they needed to come on to keep him in check
because he was unhinged, and that he would have better
advisers and that maybe the second go around he learned
some lessons, but it seems like it's just chaos unquote.
Another one said he was taught he was trying to
fix immigration, and I was behind him, but then the
(01:11:26):
way he did it, it's just not the way I
agree with Now Ice was treating people. This is not
the way to do it. Another one said, I thought
he learned his lesson and was going to prove to
everyone he's learned from his mistakes and he was going
to turn this country around and he was going to
be a stellar president. But it turned out to be
a horror movie. I was so wrong with this vote.
(01:11:48):
He also said that that we're going to war. We're
having wars now, and he had promised that he wasn't going.
Speaker 7 (01:11:55):
To go to war.
Speaker 3 (01:11:56):
We're discriminating against anyone who looks different than we are
or behaves in whatever their religion or sexual preference might be.
He's against them, and this is not what we're about.
I don't watch the news anymore because I'm depressed. Another
participant said, I thought he was the lesser of two evils.
I voted for him the first time too. I was
hopeful that he had learned his lesson. But the thing
(01:12:18):
that frustrates me the most is how he divides people unquote.
So now, the moderator asked them what grade would you
give Donald Trump's second term? No hands were raised for
an A, none for a B, one hand for a C,
eight hands for a D, and four hands for an
F for failure. When asked by the moderator about things
(01:12:39):
that were most concerned to them, they said gas prices
and the cost of food, and the cost of living
in general. People were frustrated with the whole idea behind
Doge quote I liked and I entertained that they were
actually going to clean up some deficient parts of the
government that do all the spending and uncover fraud. But
in fact, a lot of the things things that they
(01:13:00):
said he was going to do, has just kind of
derailed and there's a lot of uncertainty as a result. Unquote.
The moderator asked them, what about the policies you feel
affected you personally. The only black participant, who was a
nineteen year old male Republican, stated, quote, while Trump was
trying to cut back on illegal immigration, it has hurt
a lot of legal immigrants. He's created problems in getting
(01:13:22):
access to legal citizenship. A lot of appointments and interviews
are now on hold right now. People don't feel safe
leaving their state because even though they're legally, they still
might be found illegal in his eyes or in the
eyes of his administration. Another participant said, it's really impacting me,
especially at work with the tariffs, just creating chaos between
(01:13:43):
all of our customers, not understanding all the changes that
are happening and the rollbacks and are they going to
get a refund. It's just constant chaos unquote. Another one said,
I'm cutting back on travel time because of the gas
prices and the cost of living is terrible. I asked
by the moderator, what do you feel Trump is most
focused on. One said Mexicans, Spanish people. It seems like
(01:14:07):
it's one race, which is unfortunate. Another participant said the
stock market, Wall Street. He's focused on the rich. Another
one said the stock market. He's protecting his rich buddies.
I think he is more focused on profit than what happens.
Another participant said he's more focused on Israeli affairs and
what's going on there and immigrants. I understand that was
(01:14:30):
a big part of the deal, but it's like he's
targeting one demographic. The moderator then asked, do you regret
voting for Trump in twenty twenty four? Nine said yes.
One said quote, I feel foolish in a family full
of Democrats. All of the things that were pointed out
what happen have ended up happening, and I looked dumb
(01:14:50):
as hell, believing in fairy tales and wishy washy promises.
Another participant said, I think I made a huge mistake.
I'm embarrassed for our whole country that this is what
we're dealing with On a daily basis now. The moderator
then stated, let's talk about specific issues. We'll start with
the economy. How is it going now? One said the
(01:15:12):
cost of living, oil, gas, housing. I mean you touch
on any aspect of it and it's bad. Another one said,
any gas station you go to, you're going to see
inflated prices. You go to any grocery store, same thing.
I mean there is nowhere to turn. I was hoping
to be able to afford a house, and it's going
up and up and up and up unquote. The moderator
(01:15:36):
then asked, what do you think about the Epstein files?
What comes to your mind? One participant said, it bothers
the hell out of me. Other countries have been willing
to dismiss bloodline and are doing a better job at
holding people accountable, and we're still cloaking and protecting people
of power because they are people of power. The moderator asked,
(01:15:56):
do you think that government corruption is a problem. One
participant stated, everything he's doing, from little things like tearing
down part of the White House to putting up the ballroom,
everything he does just feels very corrupt and self serving unquote.
The moderator then asked how do you think it compares
to other politicians. One participant stated, oh, I don't think
(01:16:17):
any of them are all that great, but it's far worse.
I mean, on the scale of one to ten, most
would be probably the range of seven. I feel like
he's just off the charts unquote. The moderator then asked,
what are your thoughts on Iran. One participant stated, there
should be peace talks, but every single time there's peace talks,
(01:16:38):
Israel has to intervene and attack the country. I think
the evil in the Middle East, in that whole area
is Israel. They do a cease fire and they then
attack lebanon the same day. It's like, come on, dude, Yeah,
the whole Gaza thing. I think it's just terrible. I
think Israel's doing what they say was done to them.
(01:16:58):
Another participant stated, I agree with him. I'm sorry if
anyone gets offended, but the evil in the Middle East
is Israel. We should not be. They should not be.
We should not be in Iran. They should they should
They don't have a nuclear weapon. Show us something with
proof and then we can go in and do some negotiations. Lastly,
the moderator asked, is there anything you wish you could
(01:17:21):
tell your twenty twenty four self as you were about
to vote in twenty twenty four, one participant said, don't
trust any of them, and the same statement, same statement
was repeated by another participant who said, don't trust any
of them. So, my brothers and sisters, I want to
personally thank the twelve participants who took pardon this revealing
(01:17:41):
focused group. They are sad, disappointed, surprised, betrayed, and fully
embarrassed over having voted for one who has been referred
to as a narcissistic, sociopath and pathological liar, but also
a convicted criminal with thirty four felonies and a sex
abuser and racist white so caled Christian nationalists who is
(01:18:02):
in reality the devil incarnate.
Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
Wow wow, I want to talk more about that. Will
take a break, doctor Harper. If you do have a
question for doctor Harper, you can give us a call.
Nine zero one five three five nine three four two
eight hundred five zero three nine three four two eight
three three five three five nine three four two will
(01:18:29):
get you in to us.
Speaker 4 (01:18:32):
You're listening to Double.
Speaker 7 (01:18:35):
D i A.
Speaker 20 (01:18:43):
Don't go Away. The Bev Johnson Show returns after these messages.
(01:19:31):
You're listening to the Bev Johnson Show. Here's Bev Johnson.
Speaker 4 (01:19:36):
And we're going back to our phone lines to talk
with you. Hi, Marie, Hey, how you doing today?
Speaker 14 (01:19:42):
Belle?
Speaker 4 (01:19:43):
Doing well? Maurice and you all right?
Speaker 5 (01:19:46):
How you doing today? Doctor?
Speaker 3 (01:19:47):
Bye? Brother, Maurice Bine brother?
Speaker 9 (01:19:50):
All right?
Speaker 11 (01:19:50):
Hey Doc? What all this stuff that he's doing? Do
you think Donald Trump is playing on leaving the office
when his time is up.
Speaker 3 (01:19:57):
I think he's going to try his best to stay
until someone puts him out of that office. Uh, He'll
keep in mind, he's got two people who are on
his heels. He's got Dvance and he's got the brother
who's yeah, Makao Rubia Rubio. They want that job. They
(01:20:18):
want that job. And see, I think that that that
by the time the election comes along, if he's not
already out of office, you're gonna have so many Republicans
that don't want him around anymore, and they finally get
the gusts to say it, and they will put someone
in office that they think would be far better but
still in line with trump Ism, and that is Vance
and On Rubio. So he's gonna go one way or
(01:20:40):
the other, though.
Speaker 11 (01:20:42):
Right, because, like you said, they're still be in line
with the things that he's doing.
Speaker 3 (01:20:45):
Huh, that's exactly right. They'll just soften the blow a
little bit, that's all. But because because what they'll do
will come over time versus every day something new happening
dropping on us.
Speaker 11 (01:20:57):
Yeah, because I was thinking that that he hadn't planned
on leave. I mean, he building that ballroom and all that.
I feel like he didn't have no plans on leaving. Doc.
Speaker 3 (01:21:05):
Yeah, well, I think initially that was the plan. But
you know, his health isn't is not going to allow it,
and I think that the people around him cannot continue
to hide how how dangerously unhealthy he is to this country.
Speaker 11 (01:21:20):
That's a good point, Doc. And then when it comes
down to economics, you know, we were talking about holding
our money, you know, Boycotton, you know, economic using our
money and things like that. But I think that that
that that today that they don't really care that Donald
Trump don't really care about our economics.
Speaker 3 (01:21:38):
He doesn't, I mean, no, he doesn't see the economics
is going to affect the other billionaires who are around him,
who will put pressure on him like they're doing right
now behind this war. What they ran he doesn't give
a damn personally, but they'll force him to do whatever
it needs.
Speaker 11 (01:21:54):
To be done, right, because I don't think he cared
about our money. I think he just won't us gone one.
Speaker 7 (01:21:59):
Way or there the dogs.
Speaker 11 (01:22:01):
Yeah, and then see and then see like you say,
you know, with with that, uh, with that, with their
re line and rejoin the dishries and everything.
Speaker 5 (01:22:10):
You know.
Speaker 11 (01:22:11):
Uh you know, doctor Roy, you was telling me about
last time. Well it's getting allowed about. Yes, it is,
it is right, and you know tonight's last night and
Stephen Colbert, Yeah it is so. Hey, doc, well, I
really appreciate you the information that you'll be sharing with us.
I've been hearing. I have my ears on because I
(01:22:33):
never forgot what you talked about. I guess it's been
at least about three years ago about the black and
white race war. What do you think about that, Doc?
Speaker 3 (01:22:41):
It's it's it's it's still heating up and and and
see again. The more pressure you put on people economically,
the more they look for escape balks, the more they
look for someone to blame it on. And since the
craziest don't want to blame it on Trump, they'll start
looking around at at people in in impoverished district areas,
and it's right. They'll start talking about how too much
money is going for that SNAP program and too much
(01:23:03):
money for these old people who are on Medicaid and
what have you, and they will start taking their anger
out towards us. M. H.
Speaker 11 (01:23:11):
Stunds write to me doctor, Hey, doc, I really appreciate
you every time you come on BIS.
Speaker 7 (01:23:16):
You need to have him on there.
Speaker 11 (01:23:17):
Make sure he show up you every Thursday.
Speaker 4 (01:23:19):
All right, Marie, thank you, Marie. Than y'all, Bye, bye,
w D I a high caller.
Speaker 14 (01:23:28):
Hey, good afternoon, babe, and good afternoon doctor Harper's.
Speaker 4 (01:23:32):
Good afternoon, Beverly.
Speaker 7 (01:23:34):
How are you.
Speaker 14 (01:23:36):
I'm good, just enjoying listening to all the callers and
the doctor Harper giving us all this information calls this
uh shorty, Max said, we're in some perilous time, very
perilous time. But what prompted me to call, though, was
when you talked about Trump probably won't remain in office
(01:23:57):
because his health probably won't allow it. And then we
got to look at Vance or Rubyo stepping in.
Speaker 12 (01:24:06):
Yes, I believe.
Speaker 14 (01:24:07):
Vance would be as bad or worse than Donald Trump.
Speaker 15 (01:24:13):
He just got that evil look about him. He he
just looks evil, like it's embedded in him. And I'm
not sure about ruby office. But do you all remember
when Bush, which what the second Bush, was in office
(01:24:35):
and we thought he was so bad, didn't we?
Speaker 2 (01:24:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:24:38):
But hey, Trump made Bush look like a choir boy.
Whoever thought who ever thought we would get something this bad?
And all the people who are having regrets that they
(01:24:58):
voted for him, I would wish they would have the
courage to speak up and to come forth, because that's
what we're gonna need. We're gonna need unity. We're gonna
need people to come together and a be bold enough
to say this is wrong. This is not what America
(01:25:23):
was built on. This is not what our forefathers and
our civil rights leaders intended for this country to be about.
Speaker 14 (01:25:32):
These Republicans and all these people, they are allowing don
Trump to be a dictator. That's exactly. He's not a
dictator on paper, but he's a dictator in action. And
he's been allowed to be a dictator, to be a Hitler,
to be a Joseph Stolis, to be a prudent. He
(01:25:54):
wants to be all of those people. I think those
are his idols, and that's what he wants to be like.
But uh, you know, we band together, and I just
hope and pray those who are against him, who are
look different from us, that they will be bold enough
and have the courage to stand up, because it's going
(01:26:16):
to take some unity to get this country back on track.
You're right, all right, that's my comment.
Speaker 2 (01:26:22):
You're welcome, Thank you, bye bye.
Speaker 4 (01:26:26):
I was thinking, doctor Harper, when you were talking about
that focus group, and and now they feel the people
that they focus on in the group now they feel betrayed.
Speaker 3 (01:26:37):
They betrayed. Yeah, yeah, he let them down, Yes he did.
But see it's it's twice as bad because see again,
they solve the problem. We see, we all saw it
was running for office, right, but but see what some
of us saw. We said that behavior is inappropriate and
and and basically he will not be fit to be
(01:26:57):
a president. Other people saw it in Conte was you know,
you see how he tell these people off, he put
the women in their place, etc. Some people thought it
was funny. Other people thought it was gonna be a
wind fall for the farmers exactly because he promised them
everything he promised the people in the steel meals and
the coal mine going back to Coal.
Speaker 4 (01:27:16):
It was all a lot line.
Speaker 3 (01:27:18):
And see, how how can you love yourself when you've
been gamed? He's running game on you, and he's still
running game when you because see, many of you still
think he's probably the best choice, because you wouldn't want
that black woman in the office. Right, And keep in
mind Vance ain't too much different, right, keep in mind,
(01:27:39):
but I think about.
Speaker 2 (01:27:40):
All the time before. Remember Vance was against Trump. I
know he talked about Trump was like Hitler.
Speaker 3 (01:27:47):
That's exactly right. But see Trump was not gonna pick Vance.
Peter TiAl, the billionaire, basically said you're going to pick
Vance because I'm a billionaire and you're gonna need my support.
So that's why Vance was putting in. And quite frankly,
Marco Rubio, he's too much of a good guy. See
(01:28:08):
he wants to be tough. Yeah, we see. He can't
be tough now you see he sees what they're doing
the people, Yeah he does. He's got he's got a
piece of a heart left, and he can't he can't
be a president and uphold what this Trump administration has
put in place.
Speaker 7 (01:28:22):
He can't be.
Speaker 4 (01:28:22):
He can't be.
Speaker 3 (01:28:23):
It's too weak.
Speaker 4 (01:28:24):
And I wanted.
Speaker 2 (01:28:24):
I wanted to mention that we were talking about none
of the Democrats that stand up, and I was thinking
about the brother King Jefferies.
Speaker 4 (01:28:32):
He can't stand up by himself. He's trying to, he's
trying to say, but he's by himself.
Speaker 3 (01:28:36):
He's by himself. And plus, you know, sad to say,
I saw the brother. I saw brother King Jeffries being
questioned by by a fellow who had his fax trees.
And the bottom line is that how King Jeffries, Well,
there are too many Democrats that are taking money from
the Jewish lobby. Right, so on the one hand, they
can't do and they won't want to do any making
(01:28:59):
they changes in turns of how we're supplying that country
with the bombs that are killing people.
Speaker 4 (01:29:03):
Of color, and as we think about that copper.
Speaker 2 (01:29:08):
So those those focus groups again talked about when Trump
says no wars, okay, well they don't know what to do.
Speaker 4 (01:29:15):
They're not doing anything, and Iran is working on some plans.
Speaker 3 (01:29:21):
Believe I believe that you're exactly right. The bottom the
bottom line is that I said months ago, you know
these people that that that that he is chosen to
go to war with are winning every day. Yeah, every
day they win. This country has spent billions of dollars
and all of a sudden they come out with a
number like twenty twenty four billion we spent. That's a lie.
(01:29:43):
It's probably fifty billion because all the rockets that they basically.
Speaker 7 (01:29:47):
Use and what have you.
Speaker 4 (01:29:48):
The bottom line is that we can't win that war.
Speaker 3 (01:29:51):
We can't. You cannot invade Iran, you cannot do that.
You can't bomb them out of existence. Whatever you're trying
to do in all the pressure you're putting on them
is only causing the world to suffer. Yes, Iranians are
sitting back, going to school, doing everything what they're doing
right now. Everybody else is struggling to make ends meat,
including many Americans who are struggling to make ends meat.
(01:30:13):
And people overseas in other countries hate Trump because they
see what he's doing. I see those people can't figure
out what's wrong with the American folks. They see how
crazy this man is acting.
Speaker 2 (01:30:24):
Right, I don't know now, because he's too to focus
on doctor Harper being a builder, that's it. And you
know he wants he wants to build that ballroom, not
build that arc. And someone asked the question, Doctor Harper,
whatever happened to the wall. He wants whatever happened to
that wall, y'all he wanted to build.
Speaker 3 (01:30:45):
He's seeing that you got to build a wall. All
you got to do is basically make it too dangerous
for people to come in.
Speaker 4 (01:30:51):
He's done exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:30:53):
So, so last words, Dr Harper, I love these topics today,
and I hope people people get an insight. It's like
mister California said, people aren't listening to you. And I
don't think doctor Harper would come on this air and
give it any false reports because you believe in fact.
Speaker 4 (01:31:12):
I bring you facts. And I think the Convention of
States is.
Speaker 3 (01:31:15):
Gearing up to take away all of our rights. If
you think about how badly Trump has treated people of color,
just think about what will happen when everything he's done,
which could probably be turned around by law, but if
everything that he's done is codified now in terms of
a new constitution, the constitution that has a requirement how
(01:31:35):
you should dress. So all your brothers walking around sacking
your ass is going to jail.
Speaker 4 (01:31:40):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:31:41):
It's a twerking. And what have you inappropriate dresses to
You're going to jail? They're going to institute all kind
of restrictions. They'll find every way possible to put black
folks away. Yes, you'll folks hanging on the corner, you're
going to jail. Okay that I dare you to start
selling drugs because we're gonna start arresting your mom and
your whole family, and they going to We're going to
see some things put in place that we thought would
(01:32:03):
never never happen. But believe me, when you got these
crazies who are running things, they're going to do a
quick job of getting ready as many of us as possible.
Speaker 2 (01:32:11):
So watch out for them, right, Doctor Warren Harper, our
Behavior Political Health Consultant. As always, Doctor Harper, we do,
we really do appreciate you.
