Speaker 1 (00:00):
And grand Rising family, and thanks for starting your Tuesday
with us. Later, natural paddic and traditional doctor Doctor A
will join us to answer any health question you may have.
Doctor A can provide a holistic approach or a primary
care physician's perspective and family. Please please don't be bashful,
Please take advantage of her expertise. Don't hope that somebody

(00:20):
else has a similar issue and wait for them to
call him.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Be proactive.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
I'm just telling you straight up, because there's a lot
of times if you've ever been to a doctor, you know,
he gives you five or ten minutes and then he
pushes you over to the next person. It's not the
doctor's fault. They just overloaded. You don't get a chance
to have a conversation, a real conversation or doctor this
one you do. And she is a dual responsibility, so
she'll answered all your questions. But anyway, before doctor A,
retired NYPD patrol chiet Bill Chapman will join us. He's

(00:46):
going to analyze the city's mayor race now that Mayor
Eric Adams has dropped out. But to get a started
MOMENTALI Haitian activist doctor Judis Dodd will join us but
let's get Kevin tom the classroom doors and start the
morning session. Grand rising, Kevin.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Oh, there we go, turn it on, Grand Rising.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Indeed, Carl Nelson, Man, you know Tuesday's child.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Is full of grace.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
So the grace is here with us this morning, on
the thirtieth of September, the last day of September.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
How are you feeling, my good.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Friend, I'm still learning, Kevin. Just you know, I say
this all the time, and it may sound right, but
once you figure out you've learned something, you know, you're like, oh,
I did not know that you admit I've learned something,
you know, because a lot of times we learn things
and we don't admit that we that we've learned something,
that we've learned something, you know, something new or something
that you always knew before. But it's sort of reinforced

(01:40):
now that you hear it. So, you know, once you
recognize that, you keep on. Every time you learn something,
you know, it goes okay, wow, you know I learned something.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
But anyway, and then you've got and then you've got
to repeat it. You've got to tell right, you know,
ten people or or you.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
But yeah, we have this conversation you know, let me
tell the family. Kevin, you know, you get when you
get something new. Kevin likes to read the directions like
I just go, like, I'll try to figure it out.
And now if I get stuck, then I go to
the directions. See, but you do the basically, you go,
you read the directions.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
Directions right, even if it's simple, even if it's entitively able,
you know, to open the package right right, The directions
will say to reach here to open this package.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
You know, and I just go to it and just
try to figure it out.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
And if I get stuck down, okay, where the directions
some of those learning.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Some of those channel proof packagings. You know, you need
to look with it's uh tear here otherwise you're wasting time,
I think. Yeah, Abraham Lincoln said, if you got four
hours to cut down the forest, take three hours to
sharpen the axe.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
So that's what we do. We sharpened the acts.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Man, that's a good analogy.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
I'm glad you like that. Yeah, he look in the
news man. We seldom here from the vice president, but
Vice President jad Van says, I think we're headed to
a shutdown. As Mike Johnson calls for more time for negotiations.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
So what are your thoughts on that.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Wow, the standoff is real, and it's a political standoff.
The Democrats, of course, they're calling for the Republicans to
add more provisions in there for healthy you know, they're
willing away at the Affordable Healthcare Act or Obamacare if
you will. They want to get rid of that and
they want to cut it down. But the Republicans don't

(03:32):
want to hear that kind of conversation. And what they're
trying to do is threatening to fire people if they're
if they're furloughed today. But so it's trying to get
the government workers. You know, we got about three hundred
and fifty thousand government workers in Washington, DC ERA. That's
down from like three hundred and seventy or three hundred
and eighty at the end of last year, all because yeah,

(03:54):
those people lost their jobs. So many of them are
going to work this morning and know they probably won't
get paid, but they've been through this several times, if
you you know, we govern employees and usually may work
a day or two or maybe. We came the longest
shutdown we have by the way. Kevin was when Donald
Trump's first turn around, so we'll see what happens on it.
But you know, we got some essential workers as they
call them, like TSA and all that people at the

(04:17):
people at the airports that they've got to work regardless,
you know, So they're gonna but we'll see how many
of them go to work if they know they're not
getting paid. They weren't calling sick or something. But it's
going to be interesting. A few hours that we have
today right.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Exactly, the Speaker of the House, Maggi Johnson, is saying,
the Democrats are continuing to negotiate for extensions of health
care subsidies for Americans that are due to expire soon
and end of the day meeting with Donald Trump and
congressional leaders from both parties failed to produce a deal.
And this shutdown is different than the ones before because

(04:50):
Americans wait a minute. According to the Trump administration is
threatening to permanently fire federal employees during this shutdown rather
than simply furlough of them temporarily. And like you said,
the airlines and other aviation groups warned that this shutdown
could immediately affect airline passengers, as a slow pipeline of

(05:12):
air traffic controllers currently in training to fill a huge
gap in.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Those crucial jobs.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
So you know, you got a rookie air traffic controller
man that could be a little bit confusing there.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
What could be a prophet?

Speaker 1 (05:27):
You know, many of them got fired, you know when
what was your name Musk was in there, especially you know,
cleaning up the government workers and and and firing a
bunch of folks and then you know that, Yeah, then
they were had the plane crash and then they had
to hire back some of those folks that there fired.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
And they're still doing that now.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
Yeah, claiming thee I was involved for that, right, you know,
it's too much. We're gonna we're gonna keep a watchful
eye on that as well as uh, you know, pray
for them. Eric Adams gives up and drops his New
York mayor reelection bid. Isn't Eric Adams a friend of yours?

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Hardly likely? But you know what's interesting he was he
was a former cop. And we have retired NYPD Patrol
Chief Bill Chapman coming in this morning. Bill worked with him,
he knows him inside out on the personal and professional level.
So he's going to analyze the New York's mayoral race,
especially because now that Eric Adams has dropped out, so
he's going to share some information with us that we

(06:28):
probably haven't heard before. Definitely, if you're not in New
York City know what's going on. So it's going to
be interesting conversation later this morning with retired NYPD Patrol
Chief Bill Chapman.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
And it's all about the optics. Check this out, according
to the news one. And he descends down a staircase
an escalator carrying a frame photograph of his mother, who
he thanks for inspiring him to, you know, be active
in the world. And as he's playing Frank Sinatra's My
Way Softly in the back, that drama.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Man, right, you know that's Bill about that when he
comes on Kevin, because, yeah, I just saw clips of
the press conference. I saw the photograph of the picture
of a woman.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
But do you know who he was?

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Because they obviously the news didn't show what you I
didn't know that part of it. You know, we just
saw what he when he was speaking, and there's apicion
of who's that woman in the picture. You know, the
newspeople didn't make allude to who he was. But yeah, interesting,
But asked Bill about that?

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Yeah, he sets the photo of his mother beside him
as he sits down at the bottom of the staircase,
and and and then he's making a gaze at the teleprompter,
and he says he just wants to think his mother.
You know, only in America can you make a story
of reality. And he says, nearly four years ago, Gracie

(07:49):
Manchion became my home. And who would have thought that
a kid from South Jamaica, Queens, growing up with learning disabilities,
could one day become the mayor of the greatst city
of the world. I cannot thank my mother enough for
instilling me the values she lived.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
We can hear the Canton spiritual singing.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Now hello, all right, right, wow, I'm gonna leave that alone.
Let you and Bill handle that one. Yes, I did.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
I tell you man, I think that there was one
other story I wanted to share with you about FBI
Director Cashptel. And he wants us to stop celebrating a
secure you know, and what do.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
You think of that? What? What?

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Well, First, he can't tell us who to celebrate it, right,
If we want to celebrate our sister, we can, So
this is not he can't. Now they tell you what
to read, what to eat, who like who to dislike
he can't, you know, you should need to mind his
own business. That's as far as leave, you know. And
the saying was back in the day, hands off Asada,
So say it again to cal Cashptel, hands off Asada,

(08:56):
leave her alone all of suddenly, because they didn't, because
they've been trying to get her a Cuba wouldn't give
her up. So she never went back to jail. She
she made her transition as a free woman. And you
know people, you know, black people around the country celebrating that.
That's what he's upset about it. He could have just
not said anything.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
But anyway, right right, because he was never found. Well,
she didn't go to trial because she left and went
to Cuba. But there wasn't enough evidence. Even one of
the lawyers said that she couldn't have possibly the physical evidence.
It was anatomically impossible that she shot that police officer

(09:38):
in the way that was reported, and it was anatomically
necessary for her arms. They have been raised for her
to receive the bullet wounds she did in the shootouts.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
So, yeah, there was a big story in New York
back then on that shooting on the Jersey Turnpike. Yeah,
I remember that story very very well, very very and still,
you know, Kevin, the people's chill trying to figure out
how she got to Cuba, you know, that's the thing.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
And I said, professor not James Small, who was on yesterday,
that about that, And he says, that's that's one of
the hidden series the secrets. You know, Charles Baron because
he was in the Black Panther Party and he knew
he knew of her back then. He was young, of course,
but he was in because she was in the Panthers
as well as the Black Liberation Army.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
Well news one says, how can you expect anything from
Patel who didn't really know the history of the story,
never worked a day in the FBI until President Donald
Trump made him the Bureau's director, and so he couldn't
even recall the story.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
And so he's just probably never heard of her, right
chunking off the.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Top of his head.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
So that is the wait is for this Tuesday, the
thirtieth of September.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Girl, thanksfull you.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Telling man all right, Thanks Kevin, thanks for keeping us
up there. What's with the news this morning? Eleven after
the top day, Alice bringing doctor Judisard he's an actor.
It's a Haitian actress. The doctor is a grand rising brother.
Welcome back to the program.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
Good rasing my brother. It's great. It's good being with
you in the extent that great rising. Also to your
listeners and all sort of staff members.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
There, well, thank you, doctors. I ain't know the question
we have here and all the time to give us
an update what's going on in Haiti? You know, all
of a sudden, you know, Haiti's in the news, and
then something else shifts and people forget that. There's still
situations that need to resolved on the island. Has anything
improved that you know of that you can report on.

Speaker 5 (11:35):
Not not at all, Not at all, And again that
that becomes the norm. Right every time ask this question,
the same question, and the answer is usually sadly, well,
it's the same. Haiti is as you mentioned, the forgetting
ah this, that, neighbor this that, but very close neighbor.

(12:02):
So yeah, the situation has not changed. Uh, We'll still
have a part of brands that is controlled UH entrenched
by UH entrenched society and trench society that actually gang
excuse me, gran gang entrenched society and it's not has

(12:24):
not changed. If anything, they're getting ground, although if anything
is new is that The head of the of the
Transitional Presidential Consul addressed the United Nations the past week
doing which he is uh. He stated that eighties just

(12:49):
four hours away from here while being in New York.
Then so he said, hey, he's just four hours away,
and that there's a human there's a human tragedy unfolding there,
and that every day innocent lives are being extinguished, Entire
neighborhoods are disappearing. And that is that I would sign

(13:13):
behind it. I'll second that, and we've said that multiple times,
and that is actually can appreciate his candor in this
case candid of the current head of the Transitional Presidenture Council.
But as far as getting better, no, we see a

(13:38):
striking nation, a nation and distress. That's what we're witnessing.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yeah, thirteen at the topic Haiti, of course suffering from
benig the neglect from the rest of the world. But
today today as you mus as you mentioned how the
U n where the UN Security Council is going to
vote on the future of foreign Haitian forces, where they
going to you know, continue writing checks to pay the canyons.
Who else is but I know some Jamaicans and who

(14:07):
else is part of that multinational group is patrolling point.

Speaker 5 (14:12):
There are a few nations in there. But bottom lying
is you know, bon Nel said, is this what are
we paying for? What is it that Haiti is giving
that money for? I mean, at the end of the day,
hat he has to pay that money back. So and
we have a population, a young population of Haiti. Why
not using that money? Well to see basically what just

(14:37):
happened in Cuba. They was was in Mexico that took
one hundred and fifty young men and and and trend
them militarily and send them back. That's it. That's what
needs to happen instead of giving them that money, take
those young people and wherever, trend them and send them back.
Don't quell the violence they can you know. But of

(14:59):
course understand that there is a big deal again of
social economic problem going on there. There's the youth, the
religion happening, you see, So that is going to be
a very long term effect on the Haitian society.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Fifteen at the top. Let me ask you this, doctors,
because the last time we talked, the FEDS have put
a bounty on one of the gang leaders. I think
it goes by the nickname Barbecue. Do you know if
he's been arrested, if there's anybody picked up that money
that the United States is offering for his capture.

Speaker 5 (15:37):
That is that No, the answer is no, the Barbecue
as well in the Live the Free Men and Haiti
but you know, warming the streets as it wishes. So no,
there has not been no arrest made. And as far
as I'm concerned, this is just to me, it's just

(16:00):
it's just, uh, I'm not sure how to address this.
This what itself. I mean, America has the same way
America get you know, they have the same sort of
m hmm power to uh to get to get people

(16:22):
when they need them. In Haiti, I'm sure they can.
They could get Barbecue if it was really meant to be.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Wow, that's interesting.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
If that that implies that you think there's you know,
there's a hands off on Haiti. Who profits though, well,
Haiti spirals into into oblivion. Who who's Who's making Somebody's
gotta be making money with White's continuing. Somebody's obviously somebody's
and at the expense of a Haitian people. People are dying,
still dying people, the schools are all the chaos that's

(16:53):
going on, especially in the capital. We gotta take a
short break when we come back, though, Explain to who
you think is is profiting from this? How did the
guns get into to Haiti? How do all these weapons
reach the island? Family, you want to join our conversation
with our guests, doctor Judis Art. He is a Haitian
activist based here in the States. And you know, it's
just a same trip, but different ship for most of us,

(17:15):
and many of us could be right there in Haiti
today dealing with what it was if I ship has
landed somewhere else. But what are your thoughts eight hundred
and four or five zero seventy eight seventy six. We'll
taket phone calls next and grand Rising family, thanks for
waking up with us on this last day of September.
Our guest is doctor Judas Art, doctor Dezart. He's a
Haitian activist. He's always got his the pulse of what's

(17:36):
going on in his country, and he reports to us
what's going on down there in Haiti. So you know,
it's almost like chaos before we left. My question to
him is who benefits from all this chaos has taken
place in the country. Somebody, you know, for it to
be ongoing, somebody's probably getting support somewhere. Doctor has art.
And if you can also tell us how do guns,

(17:56):
because I don't make guns in Haiti, how do the
guns and all this ammunition and weapons get into the country.

Speaker 5 (18:02):
Well, that's a very good question. But first of all,
we first need to know. First need to see how
easy it was for that to take place. Right, there
must be another for any one to enter your house,
there must be some way, there must be some entry.
There must be an entry. Then that's that's for any
whether it's for whatever it was, for virus entering your

(18:25):
own body or anything that entered your country. Uh, the preparedness,
the level of you know, to make it happen, to
level the ground for that happens. The couse, it was
several interconnected in a social, economic, psycho psychological factor you

(18:45):
know that actually lead to society as such. So one
of them is social economic the high level of unemployment,
social deprivation and major or major drivers of such leveling
for that to take place, so unstable family dynamic, so

(19:05):
for the young men for this young man to be
able to, for them to be able to for whoever
the perpetrators having access to give them guns and then
to actually kill their own family, their own brothers and
sisters around the neighborhood. Those factors have to be in
place first, so that would come from a long distance

(19:28):
with them, the arision of social bounds, fear that weakened
the community dies and seep the engagement. So the kids
actually instead of thinking like you and I used to
go into school, they don't thank you. Such the more
they're looking at guns as a way out of poverty,

(19:49):
so those are easy, they become easy target. So as
far as the gun getting to Haiti, that have a
lot to do with aconizing neighbors, naming Dominican republic that
shares of borders. Day it's easy to get in there,
but now at all, right now it's not even there
because the games control the porch, So it's easy now.

(20:12):
It's more, it's a lot easier for guns to make
it to hate. Now as far as who's bringing them now,
it's a different ballgame. Excuse me, I'm under the weather
a little. So basically that's what we're seeing. Whose benefiting
from it. We're not sure we could put our handa
and a few people have been arrested or you know,

(20:33):
bringing guns in Haiti, but that's not at all. There's
more to it than just that it's a nation that's
being wicked. It's been. It takes a long time for
Haiti to get to this point, and if not deal with,
not dealt with accordingly, it's kind of the Haitia the
consequence of what's happening now, it's another fifty years. So

(20:54):
thank god we have people thinking about hate right now.
We have a political class that's dead absolutely so thank
god we have new politicians, new people with new vision
that's are coming up and so basically we will eventually.
The way to election is the only election is the
only way to our power of this situation, at least

(21:14):
to see the other side of the turtle.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
All right, well that thought right there. Twenty four after
top there, I got a tweet question for you. But
Mark and Baltimore, I want to speak to realists getting
on the conversation. He's online too, Grant Rise in marketing
and we talked to Judahs Odd.

Speaker 6 (21:29):
Yes, the good morning time and again I'm going to
wish you all your listeners a happy Jewish New Year.
The year is fitty seven eighty six. I hope it's
a sweet year for all dogs. Are you talking about elections.

Speaker 7 (21:39):
And all that?

Speaker 6 (21:39):
My question is at this point, I mean, Haiti is
an independent entity and hopefully you said they have politicians
that will be able to only govern the country and
bring it back the stability. So is there any talk
about having elections now that you do you have a
group of individuals that is willing to rule the country

(22:00):
in a correct manner to fulfill the needs of the citizens.
Is there any talk about having an election soon or
what steps do they need to do to fulfill such
a request to bring it back to its governance and
all that instead of having the UN supervise what's going
on these days? That's my question.

Speaker 5 (22:18):
Thank you, thank you for your question. It's a very
good question. As far as the new class Asian political class,
I mean it's coming from the desk for a period.
The people in Haiti, the current leaders of Haiti, those
who've been there in politics for the past fifty years,

(22:40):
they're absolutely they're done. And that's the result of this.
That's their failure that brought Hated to its knee. So basically,
there is a necessity, it's imperative that we have new leaders,
and we have people, we have new leaders that's seeing
Haiti the dream about a better Haiti. And we have

(23:02):
a dashboard that supports that type of idea of a
new Haiti. And the second thing is is election is
when is the next election? Nobody knows as for sure
because again, we have a community, we have a country
that is controlled at least ninety percent by gang gangs

(23:24):
and and let alone tomorrow altobuty first should be the
first day of school. A lot of kids who will
not be able to go to school. But right and simple,
not only for gangs, the fear of gang because they're
being displaced. They don't have money. There's no employment, there

(23:46):
was no employment before and it's the worst. So and this,
when you put all this together, is the reci before
a new class of politicians, the new class of leaders
to take over. And and and I'm sure we we
can all uh get along with that idea. So, uh,

(24:09):
how do we go about fixing the situation?

Speaker 8 (24:13):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (24:15):
So again that the situation there is, we have to
address it. We get to address it where it is
uh and and and and that is to address the
social economic situation, tackle it from the from the from
the ground. But first and most importantly is to secure Haiti.

(24:36):
Is to make sure that the gangs either give up
their guns, the guns or else and that's that's there's
no nothing around this. And to do so, it's either
through uh psychology good politics to bring those guns and

(24:56):
pre an intervention and the other way around it that's
going to be a long way longer. Is to actually
start the minority of young people left in the country
that have not been armed, they have not been involved
in guns. There's a chance to use those young people

(25:18):
and all of them a military and make sure that
they are keep it ball given the right ammunition to
quell the violence in Haiti, get rid of the gangs.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Well, twenty eight after the tough day, our family just
waking up. Our guess to start to Jesus Arty's a
Haitian activists here in the States, and it keeps his
fingers on the pulse of what's going on in his country.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
We just spoke that.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
They just spoke to Mark in Baltimore got a tweet
from an author in Baltimore. His tweet says, is it
isn't it true that the gangs control eighty percent of
Porter Prince? And put A Prince is a capital city
in Haiti, and I guess the author wants to know,
is it true that the gangs control eighty percent of
the city, the capitol?

Speaker 5 (25:58):
Yes, and that is that is an understatement.

Speaker 9 (26:01):
It's more now, it's more.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
And that begs the question though, doctors aren't with with
all these these police forces, these foreign forces, the canyons
and there I know this, I know there's some Jamaicas
and some other country send forces there, how can the
gangs still control eighty You said probably more than eighty
percent of the capital. What are what are these security
forces doing?

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Why?

Speaker 9 (26:26):
Why?

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Why can't they rest you know, have more saying what's
going on? You talked about the guns coming through important
the docks and all of that, the shipping areas. Why
can't why can't they identify those places and stop them
from coming in.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
They took over traffic too. You have to pay them
as tolls. Just as you go through tolls, you have
to pay them to go through the roads. If you're
moving from the one department to another, at least you
have to pass at least two of them and you
have to pay both if not being kidnapped or killed
for the worst. So why are they still there? Same

(27:00):
reason where they existed?

Speaker 10 (27:02):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (27:02):
And one who have to ask why are they still there?
You're right, that's a that's a legitimate question.

Speaker 9 (27:07):
That's a legit question.

Speaker 5 (27:08):
Why are they still there?

Speaker 7 (27:09):
After all?

Speaker 5 (27:10):
Why are we fighting other places? Haiti is right behind us,
right and the how to see the backyard. But Haiti
is another country we share borders with domain in republic
and again we have to we cannot go around this
without saying without naming the conniving neighbors that we have.
So basically that's there's the complicity of tacit acceptance of

(27:36):
such violence against humanity. So the Aybo said is understate,
is an understate, But it's the way more than that.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
The top of the doctor judis on Haitian activists and
giving us an update on what's going on in Haiti.
So doctors artis saying the folks in the dr they
benefit from the chaos that's taking place next door.

Speaker 5 (27:58):
Well, if if you're if you if you're buying ninety
percent of what you're consuming from my house. Uh, and
that and that I control and I can do press
couching with you because you're not able to cultivate or
even farm to farm. Your farmers are forced to buy

(28:20):
food from me instead of them cultivating the same land.
So yes, there is something to earn, desk of something
to gain there. Uh And and and when your border
you can control better to present yourself and you say
that when you do social cleansing at your home all
the time with the same people that that that contribute

(28:40):
eight foots at your economy, yes there is things to
gain there.

Speaker 11 (28:45):
Uh there.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
It might be tascit that, but when you look at
it closer, uh, there is there is there is complicity
of this the neighbors in there, So yes, there there
they're they're not just nice people. They're not just sitting
there and say, well, we hope these people get better.
And you have to ask yourself, what have they done

(29:09):
to even contribute to our safety? No, instead of they're
contributing to our to the deprive of nation, and they're
very happy about it. To look at those black people,
look at the ware doing.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
You know, let me ask you this a twenty eight
away from the top there, and we're speaking about the
dr the American Republic now is that why some of
that there's some sort of fascination with the skin color.
I want to say, and all all Dominicans are like this,
but there's some sort of fascination that they want to
be anything but black or everything. I have a dark complexion,
and and at times I know if you're various administrations

(29:44):
in the DR it was sort of like ethnic cleansing.
They tried to get rid of the darker skinned Dominicans
and Americans. And for that many many Dominicans, and we
could think of Sami Soda don't want to be dark skinned.
It is all that play into what's going on next
door with Haitians coming over into the Dominican Republic.

Speaker 5 (30:00):
Well, some Haitians are set home some Dominicans, I say,
some black Dominicans are set set back to Haiti. They
never saw Haiti. They have nobody in Hatey don't speak
one one single quel words, but they're bits said to
Haiti because they don't want them in the republic, either
because they were related or they were born from Asian
parent A pregnant women of being round up and sent

(30:24):
back to Haiti for they don't get it. They don't
give birth in the doming Republic. So yeah, I mean
there's a big deal of surfer cleansing and and and
deprive them of of of a good life better if
they work hard and sent them home one day, even
if after they've worked hard and earned whatever they have,
the goods set them without. There's a big deal of

(30:48):
i'd say, discriminations happening there.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Yeah, And it's this is not told to the rest
of the world. What's going on there on that island
of Hispaniola, only six minutes away from the top that
doctor judis Ard just joining us family. Doctor Judisard is
an activist. He's from Haiti. He lives here in the States,
keeps his fingers on the pulse of what's going on
in his country. And so far the chaos continues, and
it's almost like benign neglect from the rest of the world.
It is people just ignored Haiti. And for many of

(31:16):
us here, you know, had our ships stopped in Haiti,
we'd be out there fighting too, we would that would
be our problem. It's just so happens our ship stopped
at different places, but we all came from this left
of the same ports. So this is where we always
have to keep Haiti in the spotlight. If we don't,
who's going to do it? But doctor Tzard, school starts,
she says, school starts tomorrow October first, Uh, chances are

(31:39):
the schools are going to open Hattie. From where you sit,
do you think class you're gonna have classes open tomorrow?
Especially in Porter Pince. I know for the rest of
the island probably have classes, but how about Porter Prince.

Speaker 5 (31:50):
All part of prints uh, partly some part of Barter
Prince will will have school and the rest of the
country definitely will have school. What is not want to
have it is some people even with the opening legally
the education department is going to open school because they
want to at least portray suggest that there's the country

(32:12):
is working, is moving, it's work, something is working in
the institution, so functioning, which is not true because because
if if you, what's the point of opening school when
people don't have work, They don't have jobs, they don't
have food, they don't have house to stay. How do

(32:33):
the kids cannot even take a shower to go to
school and and and let alone, they can't even avoid
to walk on the street to go to school. How
how are you opening it for?

Speaker 7 (32:47):
Who?

Speaker 5 (32:47):
So it's partially open. They should say partially opened, and
there should be some somehow The Department of Education should
have done what they should do. I think that would
have been nice.

Speaker 9 (32:59):
I mean, I.

Speaker 5 (33:01):
Quickly you say this here. I think, Lauren, since here
was very much.

Speaker 9 (33:06):
Up to a job.

Speaker 5 (33:08):
Well, the Chios of the United Nation there stating that
hades and need for help, and I think he was
very candid. But I'll tell you what he would have
done if he did this, If he could convinced the
rest of his group of his consul to give their
money to the population and give the salary to the

(33:31):
population so they can help at least a few people,
that would have made a big difference, and which I
doubt they would never do. But anyways, opening school at
this point here is meaningless.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
Twenty four way from the top. I got to check
the lady's news, traffic and within in different cities. When
we come back, though, I want you to expound on
the fact when we talked about the gangs, as somebody,
you agreed that eighty percent of the capital is controlled
by the gangs. We've heard some of the gang members
say they like robin Hood, you know, so will they
allow the children to go to school tomorrow. What are
your thoughts on that, especially barbecue. He says he's a

(34:08):
revolution and he's doing it for the Haitian people. I'll
let you address that when we get back from checking
the new sports and weather.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
That's next and.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Grand rising family, thanks for waking up with us on
this Tuesday morning, this last day of September. It's the
thirtieth of September. I guess is doctor Judah Zad, doctor Tsad.
He's a Haitian actress. He keeps his fingers on the
pulse of what's going on in Haiti. He's based here
in the States, though, and he's got a group two
that he's working with her. We're going to hear about
that as well before we go back to him. Now,
let me just remind you, corn Uple. Later this morning

(34:34):
we were joined by natural panic and traditional doctor doctor A.
She's gonna answer any health question that you may have,
so family, just don't be bachelor. Take advantage of her expertise.
Before we get to doctor A, though, retired New York
NYPD Patrol Chief Bill Chapman will here. He's going to
analyze the mayor race. Now that Mayor Eric Adams has
dropped out, and later this week you're going to hear

(34:55):
from clinical psychologist doctor Jeromy Fox. You know him from
his best selling work book Addicted to White Rest in
League with the Oppressor or shame based Alliance also, and
that's what we're going to hear from the former one
of my I can't even read my own public enemies.
It's of information. Professor Gridfel joins. Also, we're going to
join by medical and medical and doctor of the sign.

(35:18):
This is doctor Keith crowf is going to talk about
prostate cancer for us. You know, it affects black men
disproportionate more than any other group. So he's going to
be here to help us out with that. So if
you're in Baltimore, make sure you keep your radio lot
in tight on ten ten WLB, or if you're in
the DMV, run FM ninety five point nine and AM
fourteen fifty WL. Okay, Doctor Tzart. The groups, the gangs,

(35:39):
especially the fellow that known as Barbecue, one of the
leading fellows out there leading the gangs in Porter Prince,
say they're doing it for the good of the people.
Do you see them allowing schools to be open tomorrow?
Do you see them escorting children to make sure they
can go to their classes or is that what they
claim is not true?

Speaker 2 (35:58):
How do you see?

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Because the reports we get think and he's done some
interviews stateside, and he says he's doing for the will
of the people and all the the the the Kenyan
troops and the people coming in interlopers into Haiti.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Is he correct or is he on the on the
wrong path to answer?

Speaker 5 (36:15):
To answer this correctly? The short answer is no.

Speaker 12 (36:22):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (36:23):
The guy is not what he portrays, what he claims that.

Speaker 13 (36:28):
He is.

Speaker 5 (36:30):
Such an imposter.

Speaker 14 (36:32):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (36:32):
Those who actually give him the microphone to portray himself
as such are also complicit.

Speaker 9 (36:38):
I believe.

Speaker 5 (36:40):
What they should do instead is to go and see
what people are going through, Go to the population within
the population, ask them what is it they're dealing with
in the daily basis. That's what I should have done,
not giving a microphone, a big microphone, a national international
microphone to a gang a FuG and I think that's one.

(37:01):
So is he going to let school open? Well, he's
part of a group, a group called Lived Together bet US,
so it's like a coalition of gangs.

Speaker 9 (37:15):
He's the leader.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
He speaks on their behalf. So would it be able
to tell them, listen, let's do this open up. Well,
if he had that power. Maybe, If he does have
that power, I should say it has not been shown.
He's not been proven that he's capable of doing anything

(37:39):
like that over his own coalition. So I doubt it highly.
And what would be good too, is that all the
money that they've been stealing, even going to clinics and
steal still even wider from the walls, friends, from the ceilings.

(38:03):
I don't think if you're gonna let people live, if
you're working on someone's behalf, I don't think you're going
and vandalized, went side their house and killed them inside
their house. Look, I have a brother, and that's personal.
My brother passed away last May, and my brother while

(38:26):
in hospital, the gangs actually entered the hospital from that
point on. He actually developed a stroke that would carry
him six feet under a few days later. So this
is personal to me. These guys are not real people.

(38:50):
There are gangs and every definition of the term there
are not real. They can say they can go quote them,
the world can give their microphone and make them look
as good as possible, as as long as they can
explain it. But the people of Haiti, the Haitian people

(39:12):
know it's exactly what they're going through. And we are
right there and we're seeing them prostate they're not. I'm
working on behalf.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Of the people.

Speaker 7 (39:23):
They're not.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Well, that's why we have you here for clarification at
twelve away from the top of the eye with doctor Judis.
Artis an activist and based his stayside with it. As
you mentioned, he keeps his fingers on the pulse of
what's going on in Haiti. And for many of us,
who's just a boat right away at our ancestors dropped
us off in Haiti or in Brazil or Panama, Jamaica somewhere,
that's where we'd being instead of dropping us us somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
But this is the situation.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
It is, and that's why we have to keep the
spotlight on what's going on with our brothers and sisters
on the island the Santa Domingo. Doctor Tizard, last time
you hear you would tell us about that there's some
sort of organs stealing taking place in the in the country.
We talked about some of the atrocities are taking place
of raping, and and and and also just stealing people's organs.

(40:11):
Is that still going on if they if we've got
all these security forces on the country, in the country now,
if they figured out who's doing that, because obviously it
doesn't sound like something that Bobbycue and his fellow gang
members would be doing.

Speaker 7 (40:25):
Well.

Speaker 5 (40:26):
While well what you say can be true, Uh, it might.
There might be a second element to it, might be
someone else doing it and taking a ride while this
is happening. Therefore we're doing this. That's all possible. But
we know so that there have been time then the
gangs are burning this body. So therefore there's a connection

(40:49):
between whoever is if it's even if it's a third
party doing so, there is a connection because if they
can go back and burn this bad eat themselves, is
going is to call them, So even if they didn't
do it, they are connected to it. So, yes, there's

(41:12):
augain snatching happening. They're killing people. There's organ less cops
being found and haiti and power prints especially, So it
is not something that you will see in the news
because that's terrible. It's it will be allarming to to watch.

(41:33):
It will be alarmed, alarming to the weld to the
rest of the.

Speaker 9 (41:35):
World to see.

Speaker 5 (41:36):
And that's exactly what I've mean when I say if
instead of go on the ground, having a chance to
go in Haiti and speaking with publicue, I think it's
a disservice to the Haitian people to go in and
give these men a microphone without events, without go ahead
and see and speak with the people, to ask them

(41:58):
what they're going through. And I understand also the people
are probably afraid now, probably afraid of expressing what they're
really feeling in front of the camera because.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Hopefully we have a last doctors are there been real
deep here and the harvesting of organs in Haiti, that's
part of the chaos has taking place on the island there.
It's just it's just totally lawless. And you know, we
talked about Barbecue's Barbecue, that's the nickname. He was just
one of the most well known gang members on the
island there. In fact, the federal governments put a bounty

(42:33):
on his head millions of dollars for if anybody can
and this they did this earlier this year. So far
nobody's picked up the money. Barbecue is still in Haiti,
but he says he's just sort of a robbing hood's
he's doing it for the four folks in Haiti, that's
what he's doing. What he does, what he does, uh,
you know, bucking the multinationals who want to come in
and take over the country. But doctors, as says, that's

(42:54):
not really what's going down. He's part of the problem.
As he mentioned, the school starts tomorrow October first school
starts in Haiti. We'll see if some of those students
will be able to go to school. And she also
mentioned there's got roadblocks all over the country. You know,
you get shaked down. If you want to go from
one section to the other, you got to pay. And
but that's that's that's sort of mild to one of

(43:16):
the other stuff that's going down where we're talking about,
you know, harvesting of organs. Obviously, somebody has to be
a skilled surgeon or something and be cutting out kidneys
and livers and all the parts of the body parts.
I just don't see that some of these what they
call these gang members who are doing it unless they
and you know, I don't think they have that skill.
It's got to be somebody else, and it's got to
be how they get those body parts off the island too,

(43:39):
whether they go neighboring the Dominican Republic or they fly
them to Miami. It's got it's got to be somebody
else who's complicity in this organ snatching. So I think
that you know, when we get the Doctor's hard bag,
we can you know, some of the if some of
these those patrol troops are there, and hopefully the u
N you know, the people of the UN that they're
thinking about increasing the aid and stop the chaos there

(43:59):
if they get you know, put that is one of
the things that they really want to, really want to stop,
to bring order to Haiti. I think they should focus
on that as well as having elections and speaking about elections.
The Doctor's artists working with the group state side now,
they're trying to help stabilize the country and one of
the things they want to do is have the elections,
have fair elections. But the question is can you have

(44:20):
fair elections now with all the chaos has taking place
and most of us is concentrated as doctors artis tell
Us in the capital of Porter Prince, I'm not quite
sure if the airlines are still flying there. For a while,
they stopped flying into Porter Prince because they were people
were trying to shoot, you know, firing bullets on they
think they can shoot down the aircraft, but of firing
birds the airplanes when they're landing into Porter Prince. But

(44:42):
the other parts of the island, it's it's it's it's
not pristine, but it's not as rough as as what's
taking place in Porter Prince. And just for for those
of you who listen, just just think for a moment,
had your ancestors put on a boat where we're all
put on boats, are all ancest there's somewhat different made
different stops, some of them could have made stopping Haiti.
You've been dealing with this right now, and that's why

(45:02):
we keep the spotlight on on Haiti because you know,
it's the only time the news goes on to Haiti
unless something really outrageous happens, and it's it's hard to
match that with what's already going on. You've heard about
the fact that gangs are roaming the streets, the control
that they have the control of the capitol. Uh, you've
got to pay for everything, anything you want, you got

(45:22):
to pay. Like you mentioned that these road blocks all
around the capitol. You've got to pay to move on.
And also he talked about, you know, the organ snatching,
the stopping the children from going to school, all of
that's taking place. Just just just think of a country
where there's no law and order, even though they've got
all these The U N and the UN is going
to vote on this today. Actually, the Security Council is

(45:43):
going to vote whether they should add more funds so
continue the fund and I don't see why they shouldn't,
but they, I guess it has to come up for
a vote to to try to stabilize what's going on
in Haiti, and and so that Haiti can stand upon
its own two feet. All right, Doctor zartis back, So doctors,
and that you finish your thought.

Speaker 5 (46:02):
Yeah, I mean, I was saying, there's nothing ambiguous about
these guys being gangs, and that's who they are and
we should consider them as such. They've been telling us
who they are, and they've been showing us who they are.
We cannot deny it.

Speaker 1 (46:16):
So you're saying what they when they speak to the
foreign press, that they're trying to make people believe there's
sort of a robbin hood that they're going after the
multinational corporations. And helping the little people in Haiti. You
say that's not the true.

Speaker 5 (46:27):
Story, That is not true, because again it's true clear
uh if I mean, it's clear if you or my friend,
there are things you don't do to me. If you're
fighting for me, you cannot be going at my own house.
You can cannot be the one that you're you're pushing away.
I cannot be the one you kick. You cannot be

(46:47):
arming my children, giving them a gun instead of healthy
helping them to go to school. You cannot traumatize the
society if you're working on its behalf.

Speaker 9 (46:57):
That's a lie.

Speaker 2 (46:59):
Yeah, come upon a prayer.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
I got to ask you this, even with the guns
coming into the country, even the harvesting of organs, that
doesn't seem like something that the average Haitian who without
some sort of formal education or skill can do. Obviously,
there's got to be some outside forces involved here. When
we come back from the checking the trafficking without I'll
let you explain that for us, and also tell us
about what your group is stateside, what you guys are

(47:22):
doing to help stabilize the situation in Haiti. Family, you
want to join this conversation that I guess doctor Judas
Art reach out to us at eight hundred four five
zero seventy eight seventy six and we'll take your phone
calls after the trafficking weather that's next. Hang Rising family.
Thanks for starting your Tuesday with us. I guess is
doctor Judas Ard. He's an activist, a Haitian activist based
in the States. Got two tweet questions for your doctors

(47:45):
are before we do that, though, just briefly tell us
about what your group is doing to monitor what's going
on in Haiti.

Speaker 5 (47:52):
Well, thank you for that question. Understanding again to understand
the situation. We have the prolific uh gun situation in
Haiti and use uh dellisionment. So that's happening. Disillusionment, Sorry,
that's happening. So what we what what what our group
is doing is organizing Haiti right now. We're organizing it

(48:14):
politically and doing some trainings with multiple departments right so
we have coordinations in almost every department of Haiti right now.
So uh, the the idea is to organize and trend
and also also making sure that the educate educated politically
uh and civically so to so uh not only for

(48:39):
for for for us, but also for election and that
will be We believe that the people need that type
of trainings to keep to keep a nation alive. So
what our plan now for the next election, for the
next Haiti is to uh do some interventions after this

(49:02):
after what just taking place right now. As I said earlier,
instead of pursuing education our kids, our kids, our youth,
what they see instead is the only way out of
life is to carry guns. They don't see education does
a career as as a path forward. And that's the
way it used to be, and that's the way every

(49:23):
function in society sees it. Kids are the future of
the country. And that's why you're John of this joke
today and I am who I am because we were
in that path and we saw we didn't look at guns,
we saw education for the future. That Haitian youth doesn't
don't have that right now. So how do we address this?
The intervention is to when when M the l H

(49:45):
take power, well when after election, when after winning election
will be an intervention, and it was you have to
be strict so to implement prevention programs for you, for youth,
for by positive alternatives such as after schools to address trauma,

(50:08):
offering therapeutic support to kids uh and and and adults
that have been through trauma and society fostering social UH
cohesion again. So MDLGY is all about that is to
bring Haiti back to to to its feat and but
for to do so, we will need every brothers, everybody,

(50:31):
every friends around the world. And that includes every single
member of the days, for every single Haitian that lived alive,
and every every every brothers from every other nations capable
and that see humanity UH and Haiti and understands that
where we come from and where we can be the
potential and the young Haitien. Our party is m d

(50:54):
l H. So the movement is the democratic movement a
little of Haiti.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
Right and before you go out, we'll give out the
information that folks can help you if they want to
support you. We got we got retired NYPD Patrol Chief
Bill Chapman on deck before we go to UH. Bill
though a tweet question for you, tweeter says, ask the
doctor if the Prince Blackwater group is in Haiti, are
they making a difference? Do you know if those the
Blackwater Group is in Haiti, doctors are.

Speaker 5 (51:24):
Uh We're alleged allegedly in Haiti, but we're we have
not seen big difference or what we see in the
past month or a few drones being dropped in a
certain area. It was even alleged that one of the
game members EASO vocals by EASO were injured. Not sure
was confirmed, but yeah, it is alleged that there are

(51:49):
on the ground in Haiti. But as far as seeing
the difference, it's that as far.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
Well, quickly though, doctors are do you know who's paying them?

Speaker 15 (51:58):
Though?

Speaker 2 (51:58):
Who's who's who's who's rind the check for for blackwater?

Speaker 5 (52:01):
If they are in a in Haiti, well, the Haitian
government is writing that check. As far as concern, again alleged,
we don't have that on paper. We don't have we
have not seen anything uh guiding us confirming this.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
Doctors are six have the time before we will let
you go. How can folks want to help you? If
they want to help you, because you're you're fighting to
stabilize the situation, what is not just chaotic in Haiti
and you that's what your group is fighting for on
their base stateside?

Speaker 2 (52:30):
How can they reach you? How can they help you?
Do you have an email? Address.

Speaker 5 (52:33):
Actually they can find us on Facebook as doctor Juda's ard.
But also our party UH is a recognized political party
in Haiti. It's M d l H. It's M for Movement,
D for Democratic, L for Liberal, and H for Haiti
dot org it's M d l H dot org. And

(52:53):
and then they can contribute to the future of this
of this party from there, and we can so we
start our work on the ground and hate and can
contribute to the renew the renewal of the Haitian nation.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
Gotcha. Thank you doctors. Thank you for the work that
you do state side and and in Haiti as well.
Thank you, and thank you for keep on doing it,
because you've been doing it for quite a while.

Speaker 5 (53:20):
Thank you, my brother. I appreciate you, and and we
need people. We need you, we need you, we need
your voice, we need UH. And I appreciate you on
the behalf of all Haitians. I appreciate your support keeping
the light UH.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
Well, like I said, it's just the same. We all
made the same trip at least our ancestors there. They
just stopped at different ports so we could be in
Haiti having to deal with that chaos right now instead
of being here sit in the States or in Panama
or Brazil or somewhere else. So that's the connection and
we got to keep that connection strong. So thank you again,
doctor Hazard.

Speaker 5 (53:53):
We appreciate you. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
All right, family and seven, after the top of that,
let's bring in now retired NYPD Patrol Chief Build Chapman,
Bill Grant Rising, Welcome to the program.

Speaker 7 (54:03):
Good morning.

Speaker 16 (54:03):
How are you.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
I'm still learning, Bill, I'm still learning.

Speaker 15 (54:08):
Bill.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
Give us a little bit of it. Since your first
time here, you got your initiation process. You're a copy
you know how that works. Gives a little bit of
your background, how you made it to its being one
of the top black law enforcement folks in New York City.

Speaker 7 (54:21):
Well, my uncle Bob was a activist in civil rights.
He was an episcopal minister that did a lot of
voter registration through the South. In nineteen sixty eight, during
the Chicago Convention, when the police decided they were going
to beat unmercifully the students who were protesting the convention,

(54:44):
I was watching it with him and he said to me,
I can't believe what these pigs are doing to these
poor people. And I said, yeah, it's kind of ridiculous.
So he said both. You know, you have two choices.
You can be part of the solution or part of
the problem. And that motivated me to become a police
officer because I couldn't understand why the police weren't protecting people,

(55:07):
why they were attacking them. So I entered the NYPD
in nineteen sixty eight. I was considered the most dangerous
animal alive, a black man with an education, and through
perseverance and some good luck, I won the rising to
be the Chief of Patrol, which is the chief of
the largest bureau in the NYPD. And at that time

(55:30):
when I became the Chief of Patrol in nineteen ninety five,
I was the youngest and the longest serving chief of Patrol.
I had managed to survive through the Giuliani administration. Went
on to be a dot commissioner in New York City,
first African American dot commissioner, the largest municipal transportation facilitian country.

(55:51):
But I missed the policing, so I went to the
Bridgeport to be the first black chief of police there
and came back to the NYTD years later to be
the Deputy commission of Training. So I've spent four decades
of my life in law enforcement, trying to protect people
and creating an environment where people like us could come

(56:14):
into a profession like policing and make a difference and
not be law enforcement, but be protectors of our community
and set up career paths for others who look like
me to come along and to thrive and to protect
our community. So, you know, that's my career in a
nutshell forty years. You know, although I've been black a

(56:35):
lot longer than forty years. It's a reality that if
we aren't there to protect our communities, then who will?

Speaker 2 (56:45):
Bill?

Speaker 1 (56:45):
I got to ask you this about Juliannis stopping frisk?
Your feelings about that was, you know, because several people
in our community feel that that was that was just outrageous,
That was racial profiling. How do you see it as
a cop?

Speaker 7 (56:57):
We Well, unfortunately for the NYPD, the idea of stop
questioning frisk, which is the law, can be used as
a as a great tool to prevent crime. It was misused,
it was abused, and an even greater offender than Giuliani
was the guy who followed them, Mike Bloomberg, who raised

(57:19):
the number of African Americans and Latinos who was stop
questioning frisk to almost five hundred thousand, and instead of
after nine to eleven, being looked at as the hero
who put together a cate terrorism mechanism that protected the
city from a second attack, they wound up going down
in flames because all they did was alienate and abuse

(57:42):
our community.

Speaker 8 (57:43):
After years and years and years of the.

Speaker 7 (57:44):
NYPD trying to make inroads so they wouldn't be mistrusted
by the people who the city in New York, they
have never ever real I think built the Blasio who
followed Bloomberg realized you cannot do that to forty to
fifty percent of your populace and have a police department
that's respected by the people they're hired and obligated to serve.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
Gotcha twelve after top of our family, just checking in,
I guess he's retired NYPD Patrol Chief Bill Champman. We're
going to talk politics with Bill because he worked with
Eric Adams, who it was now the outgoing mayor of
the City of New York. He was an NYPD official
as well. So Bill, as it stands now with the election,
how do you see it now? Now that's a I

(58:30):
don't want to call him your friend, but you know
about Eric Adams, He's dropped out. How'd you see this
shaping out?

Speaker 13 (58:36):
Now?

Speaker 1 (58:37):
Do you think that a colla can.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
Pull it off?

Speaker 7 (58:42):
Ah? It all depends on where Eric's nine percent goes,
although it won't make a difference, I think, you know,
barring a major scandal, I think Mandani is going to
be the mayor. The nine percent that Eric's managed to
maintain all through his scandals will probably the majority of

(59:04):
them will go to Cuomo, but part of them will
go to the Republican Curtis Sliwa, But I don't think
he has a chance at all. I think this is
really Mundani's election to lose more than anything else. Clomo's
baggage will preclude him from getting closer than maybe five
points to Mondomie, within five points of what mcdomie is

(59:26):
going to get. No one will get a majority of
the of the voters because seventy two percent of the
registered voters in New York City have shown the complete apathy.
They didn't vote the Democratic primary, which is amazing because
New York City is seven to one Democratic Republican and
I think a lot of them have just given up
after the disappointment the tremendous disappointment in Eric. I don't

(59:49):
think people are looking at the election as anything other
than please, let's get it over with.

Speaker 2 (59:53):
And let's move on, all right, thoughts you Kevin?

Speaker 1 (59:59):
Let me bring Kevin in because we were having this
discussion earlier this morning, a Chief Kevin fran rising.

Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
Grand Rising indeed, and good morning chief. Hey, look the
whole idea of Eric Adams ending his re election bid,
and you know at first he was so fervent and
consistent with it. What do you think, Not that we
can think for him, but why do you feel that
he actually had to give.

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
Up the ghost?

Speaker 7 (01:00:30):
Unfortunately, I've done Eric since nineteen ninety three, and people
who I know once we went to high school with him,
we've all come to the same conclusion. And de pote, Malcolm.
The chickens have come home to rus. Eric has always
been a transactional guy. He's always been what's in it
for him, and whatever happens after that, you still be

(01:00:52):
it as long as he gained something out of it,
and he did that most of his police career. He
did it afterwards with his act of his groups and
while he was in elected office, and he was really
very fortunate. He talks a very good game, but he
doesn't deliver what we put her faith in him for,

(01:01:13):
which was to be the second African American mayor after
Dave Dinkins, who really did really broke new ground. He
was really ridiculed and faced a lot of challenges because
of the fact that he was the first and Eric
really didn't do Dinkins right. Eric got in there, brought

(01:01:34):
in the wrong people, did the wrong things, and didn't
learn from history We've seen with Ray Nagan in New
Orleans and Kwameico Patrick in Detroit. If you were a
black mayor and you do stuff that is not legal,
you're going to pay the price. And the only reason
why he probably isn't in jail now is because of

(01:01:55):
his because the generosity of the people in the White
House who decided to absolve him of all of his crimes.
But I started policing in nineteen sixty eight and I've
been around through a lot of administrations. Unfortunately, because of
the people Eric hired in their activities, this will probably
go down as one of the most corrupt administrations in

(01:02:16):
the history of the City of New York. And it's
really going to be tough for the next aspiring African
American coming along who wants to be mayor, to get
away from the stain that Eric has put on us.
It's really tragic.

Speaker 3 (01:02:28):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:02:29):
Well, according to CNN Politics, he says that the campaign
finance board with hell millions of dollars and that effect
that his campaign is running.

Speaker 3 (01:02:39):
Is that true of bones?

Speaker 7 (01:02:41):
Well, they certainly withheld funds from him, But the reality
is this is consistent with Eric's personality. On everybody's full
but his. He was involved what his people, His campaign
was involved in a lot of straw and voting, where
people who didn't really give contributions to his campaign were

(01:03:02):
labeled as contributing, and the campaign finance board sort in
addition to that, with his corruption scandal, with all the
people around him who got in trouble and who were
under investigation and his homes were rated and had to
resign under a cloud, they felt because of his series
of corrupt acts that they wouldn't give him the money.

(01:03:23):
So it's not there, you know, it's not there for
money doesn't vote, although it certainly hurts.

Speaker 1 (01:03:29):
Right old, I thought, right there, chief, we got to
step aside for a few moments. I'll let you finish
your thought on the other side seventeen minutes out the
top of our family, you want to join this conversation
with Our guest is a retired NYPD patrol chief. His
name is Bill Chapman. Reach out to us at eight
hundred four to five zero seventy eight seventy six and
we'll take your phone calls next and grant rising family.
Thanks for rolling with us on this Tuesday morning, this

(01:03:49):
last day of September. I guess is a retired NYPD chief,
Bill Chapman, and Bill here has given us his analysis
of the mayoral race in the city. As you know
that Eric Adams aren't man dropped out there right, So Bill,
I'll let you finish it. Responding to what Kevin's.

Speaker 7 (01:04:03):
Question for, Well, the idea of money certainly helps in
general elections if you want to get your if you
want to get your message out through the media. But
the reality is New York, although people view it from
distance as one big city, it's really a conglomerate of
very small neighborhoods. And in order to be successful politically,
you have to go out to each one of the communities,

(01:04:25):
shake hands, meet the people, and have them feel that
you're representing their interests. So while there's a certainly there's
certainly an advantage having a lot of funding. If money
had been the only answer, Andrew Cmo would have walked
in UH to City Hall and been measuring for drapes already.
That's not the case. He had the most money, but
it didn't turn into votes.

Speaker 10 (01:04:46):
UH.

Speaker 7 (01:04:47):
The successful campaign that's for has been Mandani because he's
been out greeting people and the same and it's the
same method that Curtis Lee with the Republican uses when
he's in the subways all the time, greeting people and
getting to them. Eric came in on the platform of
respectful law and auto. People like the fact that he

(01:05:09):
was a police captain and he was going to make
people feel safe because there is a concern about rising
crime in New York City, and the fact that he
was African American and told his alleged story of his
background being abused by the police and being near destitute
and rising from that. It's a perfect Ratiolgis story. Unfortunately

(01:05:31):
it didn't work out to reality. So the money did
hurt and certainly would be helpful, but that doesn't translate
into votes and he's lost the faith of the people.
That has never been a mayor in my lifetime that
polled nine percent during his first term going into a
second term. In fact, there's only been two one term mayors,

(01:05:52):
unfortunately that they've both been African American.

Speaker 10 (01:05:56):
But his.

Speaker 7 (01:05:58):
Failure is not the result of lack of money, it's
lack of faith by the people who elected him the
first time around.

Speaker 4 (01:06:05):
Well, well, Chief Chapman, do you believe that like Cuomo
believes that since Adams dropped down, he may be able
to garner more of the black vote. What do you
think true falls any.

Speaker 3 (01:06:19):
Chance on that.

Speaker 7 (01:06:21):
Well, we as a people are very forgiving. If you
remember back in history when Bill Clinton committed his sins,
the first place he went in to the Black church. Yeah,
because we as a people are very forgiving and very understanding.
Clomo started his resurrection campaign. If you remember, he resigned
in disgrace from being governor because of his sexual harassment

(01:06:41):
complaints and the issues with the nursing homes were people
died in inordinate numbers because of some of the policies
that he put in place. Clomo went to a number
of the established Black churches, and our older population is
much more conservative and much more embracing of someone whose

(01:07:02):
name they're familiar with. He'll get a percentage of it.
I don't think there will be enough people to support
him that will put him over the top. I think
what we may see in our community is a certain
amount of apathy and just throwing our hands up in
frustration because of Eric's failures and just stay home. If

(01:07:24):
you look at the results of the election that Eric
won in twenty one, seventy nine percent of the registered
voters in New York did not vote. He won with
twenty one percent of the electorate supporting him, and in
the city that's seven to one Democrat to Republican. He
only beat Curtis Leeway, the Republican who's never held a

(01:07:48):
public office, by a two to one margin. So we
didn't have a lot of energy out there, and it
was those members of our community that probably made the difference.
I think now some of them are disappointed, some of
them are discussed, and I think without a good without
a good recruitment effort in the black community, Clmo's not

(01:08:10):
going to be and I don't think it since his
DNA to do it, he is not going to be
able to overcome it. I see him going to establish
black churches, but he's got to get out there every
Sunday and go to every single one. He's got to
go out into our communities and not through it, right
through on the back of a truck as he did
with Congressman Espilia, and expect that we're going to just
fall in line in both romhim because he's a Democrat.

Speaker 3 (01:08:32):
All right, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:08:36):
Twenty five off the top down. Wayne Gilman's checking in
from New York City. Wayne's a reporter and here's a
regularly on this program too with Reggie Online. One Grand Rising, Wayne, Hey.

Speaker 16 (01:08:46):
Grand running, Grand Rising.

Speaker 9 (01:08:48):
Gentlemen, how's it going.

Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
It's gone good. You have a question for Bill?

Speaker 16 (01:08:54):
Yeah, I tell you, Bill, Commissioner, it's so great to
hear your voice in the air. And you know you
predicted this on one of my shows four years ago
that there would be a debacle. And I knew Eric
Adams one way. You know, he was always pro community, forthright,

(01:09:17):
an ally of the Revendel sharped In, Reverend Daughtry, people
like that in that winning and you know, you were
able to uncover things that I just really never knew
anything about. And you know when he was first elected,
because we both doubted at that time that it was
a clear win. And you know, I could see why

(01:09:40):
people were frustrated with the Blasio, and we just didn't
think there would be another repeat of that in this town.
But Eric got in there. I think crime was off
the charts, if I recall correctly, and to a certain extent,
even though he's brought the temperature down, it still exist

(01:10:00):
and so therefore he have a lot in his favor.
But I think you know where the problems began. Quite frankly,
I would not have hired. I mean, if my brother
was eminently qualified to be his bodyguard, you know, that
to me smacked of something, and then there was just
this inner circle. This is just my observation, and that

(01:10:25):
felt led to his downfall.

Speaker 7 (01:10:27):
Do you agree, well, brother Wayne, It's always a pleasure
to be in your presence, and as usual, you was
spot on. Eric won basically because people wanted to feel
safe and because of their concern about crime and the
laxity of the Blasio. The Blasio was eight years of
just nothing. That's the nicest thing I could probably say

(01:10:48):
about him. Eric came on and the first thing he
did was hire his brother for a quarter of a
million dollars to be in charge of his security, although
his brother had no security experience and the responsibility of
security to the mayor falls with the Intelligence division in
the NYPD, so Eric negated that. He came on. He

(01:11:08):
ran on a platform of being an expert in law enforcement,
and he's the first mayor since Dave Vincoln's in nineteen
ninety three when he had a police scandal to hire
a deputy mayor for public safety. Then he hired an
assistant deputy mayor for public safety. Then he hired a
special advisor, another retire member of the department. So he's

(01:11:29):
got a million dollars in salaries for people who were
advising him. But he won on his alleged expertise as
being this police captain. Then he decided he's going to
hire the first African American female police commissioner, and the
first two rejected him because the police commissioner reports to
the mayor, not to a deputy mayor. They didn't want

(01:11:49):
the job. And the woman he finally got, Keishn Suell,
who was an excellent detective commander in Nassar County, had
to go through this way of his appointees instead of
dealing directly with the mayor. And she left because she
had had enough of the boys club not letting her
do what she was supposed to do. Never before have

(01:12:12):
we had an unindicted co conspirator being appointed deputy mayor.
Never we had a deputy mayor and a school chancellor
lived together had their houses rated because of alleged federal investigation.
There was just one thing after another, and he brought
in damaged goods, and they acted appropriately for being damaged goods.

(01:12:36):
And it was a disservice to not only people who
look like us, but to the entire administration and the
people who are sitting in New York. It was really
a set. It was really a sad situation.

Speaker 11 (01:12:47):
Yeah, it's interesting you mentioned all that because I the
last of of you that I watched on MSNBC a
week ago. He was loved with the Reverend Sharpton, and
I think Sharpton was pretty waited in questioning him objectively.
And you know, again that whole issue with Trump, you know,

(01:13:07):
throwing money his way. Do you think that might have
been a factor still in his resignation.

Speaker 7 (01:13:14):
Well, I think the kiss of death was when he
went on Fox News with the borders are Tom Honing
and he looked like the puppet where the borders are says, well,
you know, if Eric doesn't do what we've told him
to do, I'm going to come back in his office
and put my foot in his dairy air.

Speaker 1 (01:13:37):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (01:13:37):
You don't say that to a sitting mayor and live
And I know it was. You know, there are times
when you should be diplomatic, and there's times when you
have to stand up and say I'm not anybody's puppet,
and the mayor and the City of New York should
not have been anybody's puppet. I think that was the
absolute kiss of death. But I also think it was
death by a thousand cuts. Every week we had a

(01:13:58):
new uh individu jewel in the administration who was either
under investigation or resigned under a cloud. And you combine
that with the fact that in Midtown Manhattan, where all
the tourists come, once a week, we had a high
profile crime. When I was in chief, we used to
laugh about Midtown Manhattan because the toughest thing cops had

(01:14:20):
to do then was give tourists the correct directions. And
you would see on TV every week some other person
being slashed or shot or being run over by a car.
And it gave the sense that he wasn't in control
and he was too busy being deflected handling all of
the corruption obligations that were raised against him and his administration.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
All right, thanks Wallbe, thanks joining us UK. All right.

Speaker 1 (01:14:48):
Twenty eight of the top Dwayne called him commission. Of course,
he was a former police commission for a bridge board.
Connecticut is also the area tied NYPD patrol chief. The
name is Bill Chapman, and speaking about Connectic Cliff is
calling from connect It's online too, Grand Rising Cliff, you're
on with the Chief Chapman.

Speaker 17 (01:15:05):
Hey, grand rising brother Carl grand prison chief a chief.
I want to switch gears to a little bit. Listen.
I'm going to talk about the subject of racism.

Speaker 7 (01:15:13):
Now.

Speaker 17 (01:15:13):
Would it be fair to say that, within your experience
you have witnessed white racism and white cops utilizing and
mistreating the black community. I think it's the obvious, So
let me ask you this question. I get right to
the point. Can you give me any instance throughout your
whole professional career have you witnessed any act of racism

(01:15:34):
or police misconduct? With black police officers towards white individuals.

Speaker 7 (01:15:41):
Well, you know the people are going to think I
asked you to call up and asked this question. I
always said that I wanted to be the first black
police officer that shot a white guy in the back
and walked away clean because of the fact that the
same benefit of the doubt that's given to white officers
when they mishandle situations with our folks, that I thought

(01:16:07):
that we could actually have an equal plane in law enforcement.
No way. Racism is the ugly disease that keeps America
from being all it can be. And until we stop
looking and it's not a black problem, it's a white problem.
Black cops come in looking to make a difference. White

(01:16:30):
cops come in, many of them, to make a difference,
trying to make a difference, others to be in control.
And until we have one standard where we control what
people say and do in the workplace, particularly police, we're
always going to have that suspicion. Racism is the unfortunate

(01:16:50):
part of our the fabric of our society, and it's
probably not going to change, probably gonna get waste worse
before it gets better in these days now, But I
have never seen an instance where a black officeer came
in and said, you know, today, I'm going to mistreat
a white person just for the heck of it.

Speaker 17 (01:17:08):
Never work that way, never, And Chickley, and thank you
so much for your honesty. And this is the point
I'm trying to give. It get across that people are
not born racists white people, but they're taught that racism
when they're young by their parents. And then what perfect
job to get where you can shoot a black person
act out your racism.

Speaker 9 (01:17:26):
They're in law enforcement and people.

Speaker 17 (01:17:28):
So when black black community are not in curt me,
I'm wrong. The black community is not against law enforcement,
but they're against bad and corrupt police officers that abuse
department policies and procedures and standing operating and standing operating procedures.
So that's what we simply saying. For those good cops,
white cops that obey the law and go by their

(01:17:50):
rules and regulations, we have no problem with that. That's all.
Is that a fair statement to say, Chief, Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:17:56):
They should only be one color in policing, and that
should be blue. When I was the young captain and
I was in charge of two precincts, both in African
American communities the eighty first and one hundred and thirteenth
in New York City, and the people in the Queen's
Community in the one thirteen talked to me when I
first got there about this terrific community affairs officer, and

(01:18:16):
they were afraid the new command was going to train him.
And all I heard about was this guy, Officer Georgie.
Officer Georgie. Okay, fine, Officer Georgie walks on water and
one afternoon while I'm sitting in my office, this guy
puts his head in dauran, says the High Captain. I'm
Officer Georgie. And he was a white guy, and the
community loved him. Why because he respected them, He treated

(01:18:38):
them like people in his own family, and he showed
them that the police were there to protect them. That's
there are a lot of cops like that that come
in and do it. There are also some cops that
come in and because of the fact they have preconceived notions.
Because we recruit from society in general, we get people
that come in and feel that they're inherently superior to

(01:19:00):
people who are paying their salaries and act it out.
So it's incumbent upon police management, no matter what color
they are, to make sure that when folks come in
and put on that uniform that they're blue, that they're
service providers, and that they're protectors, and if they do
anything else than that, they're either held accountable through training
or disciplined or I would say five or ten percent

(01:19:23):
of every police department have people in there that just
don't belong and the failure in policing, and until police
actually police themselves, there will always be some outside entity
criticizing them, and there will always be people like us
who don't completely trust them because of suspicions of their
actions and what they're at, what they're actually thinking, even

(01:19:45):
though they're going through the motions of protecting us.

Speaker 1 (01:19:48):
All right, Chief, all that thought right there, we've got
to step aside for a few moments. Thank you, Cliff
for your question. Twenty three minutes away from the top thing.
I want to come back though, Chief, I want to
get a response from you, whether as a commissioner in
Bridgeport or on the NYPD, have you ever had a
subordinate reject command that you give them because you know,
just and think you up to SNUFFO, you know, just

(01:20:09):
disrespect you as their supervisor. I'll let you share that
with us when we get back twenty three minutes away
from the top that, as I mentioned, we got to check,
take a short break.

Speaker 2 (01:20:17):
We come back.

Speaker 1 (01:20:18):
You want to speak to our guest is a retired
NYPD patrol chief. His name is Bill Chapman. Reach out
to us at eight hundred four five zero seventy eight
seventy six, and we take the phone calls next and
grand rising family. Thanks for staying with us on this
Tuesday morning, this last day of September twenty twenty five,
sixteen minutes away from the top day. I guess is
retired NYPD Patrol Chief Bill Chapman. Got a bunch of

(01:20:40):
folks got questions for him before we could do that.
The elements remind you come but later this morning we're
going to speak with traditional and nanthropathic doctor doctor A.
So you've got a health challenge of health question, family,
don't be bachelors, please take advantage of her expertise. She's
going to be here coming up later this morning and
late this week you can hear from a clinical psychotrist,
Doctor Jeromy Fox will join us. His best selling book

(01:21:00):
Addicted to white, the oppressed in league with the oppressor,
also public enemies. Minister of Information Professor Griff will be here.
And also who else is going to join us? A
medical and medical doctor and scientists. We've got some smart
brothers in our community, doctor Keith Crawford, it will be
here as well. So if you're in Baltimore, make sure
you keep your radio locked in tight on ten ten WLB,
or if you're in the DMV, run FM ninety five

(01:21:22):
point nine and AM fourteen fifty WL.

Speaker 2 (01:21:25):
All right, Chief, before the.

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
Break, my question to you was in your role as
either commissioner in Bridgeport or as you know, a chief
in the NYPD, if you haven't had a subordinate sort
of reject or for any command that you've given me,
any instructions you've given either black or white, can you
explain that if you had any.

Speaker 7 (01:21:45):
Well, there's an interesting story that I tell when when
I was a Deputy Commissioner of Training talking to young captains.
My first command was the eighty first Precinct. It's an
African American community bed sty in Brooklyn. Also going to
be the place where I was born, and my office
was right next to where the desk is where people

(01:22:07):
are brought in to see a ranking officer when they're
being charged or when they have questions, and the door
was open, no one knew I was in there, and
I hear the magic too syllable word stand still blank,
and that automatically had me very concerned about I'm gonna

(01:22:31):
come out there and rip somebody's head off. And I
heard the desk officers say to to this particular police officer,
the Captain's in his office, what are you crazy? And
it was too late by the time he said crazy.
I was outside and there is this white officer with
a handcuffed black officer and he's referring to this black

(01:22:51):
officer as the wonderful word that bigots usually said. So
I relieved the officer of the responsibility of making arrest.
As I finally arrested, someone else asked him who he was,
and he was an anti crime officer where he's playing
clothes guy and he says, up, now that's the way
we talk to people here. You got to get used
to it. And I said, okay, fine, you're out of

(01:23:12):
anti crime. And I put him on a post that
was a punishment post, which was basically a subway station
at Ralph and Fulton, where there were eight entrances and exits,
and I said, if there's a single robbery on this location,
I'm going to suspend you. His father was a captain
in the police department, and his father called me and said,

(01:23:33):
you know you can't do that to my son. You know,
sometimes people slipped, And I said, you know, in all
my years of being on this earth, I never thought
to use the pejoritative term to describe your country of origin.
So if you want to use that word towards me,
or your son does, he's got to find a new

(01:23:54):
place to work. So after about two weeks on the
punishment post, the kid comes in and he says, I
learned my lesson. I said, no, you haven't. I want
you to transferred out of the preescinct. You need to
go someplace where you can't call people like that. And
it set it tome because the word spread that this
new black captain transferred a white captain's kid for not

(01:24:16):
acting appropriately. And I didn't have much problem many problems
after that, because it was it was very clear. And
then there's racism, no doubt in the NYPD like there
was in every other institution in this country. But it
was subtle, you know, and I quote Mayor David thinking
it's after that. You know, what do you call a

(01:24:37):
black man with a million dollars? You call him the
N word, but you wait till he leaves the room.
And that was pretty much the attitude towards me. No
one said anything to my space, no one did anything
to my face. But I was definitely sure there was
something percolating under this, under their skin. But the reality was,
as long as you don't say or do anything, you

(01:24:59):
can sa think anything you want. And yeah, that's that's
the unfortunate way some people behave themselves, and they usually
expose themselves when when when their feeling of animus towards
us overwhelms their behavior.

Speaker 1 (01:25:15):
And hold, that's all right there, Chief, I've got a
bunch of folks got questions. If you can shut up
on the answers and appreciate it. Let's start first at
ten away from the top of brother Man two is
calling from New York Cities Online. One, brother Man two,
your question for a Chief Chapman.

Speaker 13 (01:25:28):
Yes, a Grand Rising Hotel Cabrigani, free to land and
free the African mind.

Speaker 9 (01:25:35):
Thank you the other.

Speaker 13 (01:25:36):
Crazy for having this forum for this discussion. Just two
quick points before I get to my question. Just to
your guests mentioned the low turnout, and I just want
to put that in the different ways that people can
really get what's going on. Out of the top fifty

(01:25:56):
cities US cities by population, New York City ranked forty
nine as far as voter turnout in twenty twenty four,
So just imagine that that even though New York has
a lot of people, the affathees is also great. Just
to reinforce the point how the guests made, and then
also to in twenty twenty four, New York Police Apartment

(01:26:22):
was sued for misconduct and it led to over payouts
of over two hundred and five million dollars in twenty
twenty four. So there's just two points that just wanted
to share the back up some points that the speaker,
the guest has made. My question is how does Mandani
deal with the police department as far as possible obstruction

(01:26:47):
and how can he deal with any possible situations that
may challenge his administration if he's elected. What's your take
on that? How can he avoid the pitfalls that you
know Dinkins and others got into when the NYPD decided
to not follow protocol as you outline in your experience,

(01:27:09):
or how can we keep them accountable to do their jobs?

Speaker 5 (01:27:14):
Thank you?

Speaker 2 (01:27:15):
All right, Thanks bro Man too.

Speaker 7 (01:27:18):
The questioner did some great research, so my props to
you for that. That was excellent. The best thing he
can do is get a police commissioner who's experienced in
running the NYPD and clean house of the executive corps,
bringing an entire new executive corps those who are willing
to be service oriented, be respectful when they deliver police services,

(01:27:40):
and be efficient and hold their subordinates accountable. If he
doesn't do that, he's going to wind up with the
Blasio where the cops turn their back on him at
major events. So my strong advice is get someone who
knows the job, who can build an executive corp around
him that will put out of a lot he of
efficiency and respect Otherwise otherwise he's going to have a

(01:28:04):
problematic time.

Speaker 2 (01:28:06):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:28:06):
Eight away from the top of your brother Colus is
checking in from Waldorf, Marylton. He's online too, Grand Rising
Brother College your question for Chief Chapman.

Speaker 9 (01:28:14):
Yeah, Grand Rising, and thank you for your candor.

Speaker 18 (01:28:18):
Let me say real quickly that and I want to
ask you a question about Eric Adams again. I'm sorry
if I'm curry if you're covering the same ground. But
Eric Adams seemed to cowtow to the white establishment, and
he seems to have gotten his Negro wake up call.

(01:28:41):
Uh recently, he seems to condone stop and frisk. One
time when a cop slapped or hit a hit a
black woman with his fist, he said, she got what
she deserves. So what does that meant of Eric Adams

(01:29:01):
in New York as a servant as the mayor, did
he count down to the FOP and the white establishment
rather than serving the whole community up there, the blacks
and everybody else.

Speaker 7 (01:29:16):
Well, Eric serves only himself. And as they said, he's transactional,
so as long as there's something in it for him personally,
that was the way he operated. There were a lot
of us of color who were disappointed in the fact
that he wasn't more assertive in making sure that the
police operated in a more respectful manner. But I think

(01:29:37):
the best thing he's going to do for us is
not be the mayor as of January first, Thank you all.

Speaker 1 (01:29:44):
Right, Setting away from the top of the family, I
guess again is the Chief Bill Chapman. He's a retired
NYPD patrol chief. Also was a Commission of Police in
bridgebol Connecticut. Let's go to line three. The truth tails
come from Cleveland truth telling Grand Rising your question for
Chief Chapman?

Speaker 19 (01:30:00):
Uh, Greg Rising Cosy uh uh uh former police officer listen,
I had a question about policies and procedures brou but
but just listening, uh, I changed my mind and I
just I just have a comment. Uh. First, with the
captain story about the white captain's son, he should have
been fired immediately. There was no point to be made

(01:30:23):
except you fire him. My position is to be honest
with you. I hate all police officers, including the black ones.
Y'all are no better than the white ones. What most
black police officers do and how it would debate you
any day on that, at least the ones I've experienced
in what I've seen, they they got more loyalty to

(01:30:45):
a badge and a gun in the uniforms, and they
got the police officers of black folks, black police, black judges,
a lot of black lawyers. They dirt ball. You'll evil people.
You do what the white folks do. There's not a
single black man, a black woman who can work on
a United States law enforcement in the side of the

(01:31:05):
United States law enforcement agency, whether it's local, state, or federal,
and they don't go along, they get along, they don't ignore,
they don't cover up. It's something if you spent twenty
some years on a police force, you've lied, you cover
it up, You've helped them white folks do what they do.

Speaker 1 (01:31:23):
I've been to tell you you can't bet you don't
know the person. You can't accuse me of being a
liar and cover it.

Speaker 2 (01:31:27):
Come on, man, because you don't know him. You know,
don't don't do, don't get it, don't make it personal.

Speaker 19 (01:31:34):
And I'm not trying to be contentious. I'm not true
that nobody would being nothing right.

Speaker 2 (01:31:38):
But you're accusing him of being a liar. He you don't,
don't I know.

Speaker 1 (01:31:43):
Okay, Well hang up because because that's I think that's
the best thing you should do, because you don't accuse somebody,
don't know, you haven't even spoken to the person. But
what he did make some accusations a chief that we're
here in the black community, how they feel about police officers,
and I want you to address that with where you
come back, it's you know again and tell folks all
the time on this program, we don't make anything personal.
This is not personal. Yeah, if you got it's about policies.

(01:32:05):
It's different. You could, of course accuse the person of
their policies, and that's what the true tell in Cleveland
should have done. Anyway, I we've got to step aside
and take the latest trafficking weather in our different cities.
When we come back, I let the chief respond to
those so those accusations that they made upbout police officers
in general. Family, you two can join this conversation with Chief.
Reach out to us at eight hundred four or five
zero seventy eight seventy six and we'll take your phone
calls after the trafficking weather that's next and ran Rising family,

(01:32:29):
thanks for rolling with us on this Tuesday morning. This
is the last day of September twenty twenty five. Our
guest is retired NYBD Patrol Chief Bill Chapman is also
former Commissioner of Police in Bridgeport, Connecticut. And we're talking
about all things policing and talking about Eric Adams and
the New York mayor Aal Race as well. Our last
call from Cleveland, though, and I'm sure you've heard that before,

(01:32:51):
Chief Chapman, and people, especially in our community complained about
the police department. Usually some of the folks who complain
the most whenever they get in the jam, they're the
first one to call nine on one. But putting that aside, Chief,
just your response because when you hear these steretical, you know,
issues about officers like yourself, we're on the police force.

Speaker 7 (01:33:12):
Well, the beauty of America is everybody's entitled to their
own opinion, but there's only one set of facts. And
I understand being having our people being angry at law
enforcement because they don't always get the service that others get.
And there's a reason for suspicion. At my age, I've

(01:33:33):
been black a lot longer than I was in the
police department, and there's not enough money or power in
the world that would get me to collude in any
way negatively against my own people. However, that doesn't change
how people feel, and it's the challenge to policing to
make sure that brothers like that are treated appropriately so
they see that police are there for the right reason

(01:33:56):
and not there to be oppressors. Because in many instances
or In some instances what he's saying is absolutely correct.
There is a sense of needing to get along or belonging,
and if that leads to mistreatment of people, then that's
bad policing.

Speaker 1 (01:34:15):
It's because there's some you know, in our community that
if you think that a black police officers are more
blue than black. You've heard that statement before in your experience,
have you Have you encountered that?

Speaker 3 (01:34:28):
Well?

Speaker 7 (01:34:29):
Yeah, I don't think you can be black without an
inherent suspicion of police. I think on some level we're
all concerned. Uh, you know, the comedians make the joke,
you know, when a white person gets stopped, you know,
by a white police officer, it's like, Hi, how's your family?
But when a black person gets stopped, it's like you

(01:34:50):
panic like a runaway slave. I think that's still in
our culture, and it's the shortcoming of policing not to
reassure those people in the community that when they see
a police officer, you're not looking at the enemy, You're
looking at somebody there who's part of the community, who
recognizes them and respects them and is there to protect them,
to keep them safe from crime. So there's a lot

(01:35:12):
of work left to be done in policing. And until
people like the brother who just called start to feel
that the police are there to serve them, then the
police are not successful.

Speaker 1 (01:35:24):
Gotch you before I let you go back to the
mayor race in New York City. You think about Dana's
is still going to pull it out. What's he going
to have to do though, to get folks to vote
for him? As you mentioned you mentioned I think or
it might have been brother Man two from New York
the apathy in the city, and it's just not New York.

Speaker 2 (01:35:40):
It's just across the board.

Speaker 1 (01:35:41):
People just don't feel like politicians really do anything can
make the difference because we've been here four hundred years
and nothing's changed. We're still the same. So what's he
got to do to get people to go to the polls?

Speaker 2 (01:35:53):
Chief?

Speaker 7 (01:35:53):
Well, well, I think he's done an excellent job thus
far from my point of view of getting young people out.
He seems to have motivated them with this, you know,
with the spirit of optimism. Number one. What we've seen
too often from our standard politicians is everything's terrible. Everything's horrible.
This is bad, that's bad. So it's all doom and

(01:36:13):
gloom and that really doesn't motivate people. That makes people
want to cower up and not get involved in the process.
With these young democratic socialists or progressives, they seem to
be tapping on the nerve of people who have not
been involved in the process, and if they get people
out to vote believing in their platforms, they're going to

(01:36:38):
be successful. The old adage of oh things are terrible, uh,
will never get better, but stick with me and I'll
fight for you doesn't really work anymore, and our politics
has to change. There was a deputy mayor, John Dyson
in New York who and during the Giuliani and missinistration
who've got in a lot of trouble, who said, four

(01:36:59):
white men have run New York City since the beginning
of time and will continue to. Yes, there is an
elite class in New York. There are some extremely rich
and powerful people who select a number of the elected officials.
And probably one of the reasons why the protests you
hear about Mandami are so bizarre is because they are

(01:37:21):
afraid that money he can't buy an election and foremost
shown that. So as a result, you have people saying, hey,
wait a minute, you can't buy my vote, and I'm
going to speak my mind. That threatens powerbrokers. So we
have to see new candidates who want busy lining their pockets,
who aren't talking negativity, coming out and inspiring people. Otherwise

(01:37:43):
we're going to have this tremendous amount of appacy. The
seventy two percent of the registered voters in New York
did not vote in this primary election. That tells you
people don't care.

Speaker 2 (01:37:55):
You know, we got to go.

Speaker 1 (01:37:56):
You know, hopefully we can continue this conversation. I'd love
to have a conversation about you by the different boroughs
in the city, especially when you know you talked about
Brooklyn and Queens and the Bronx, but Richmond County, Staten
Island where the bastion of Republicans, and if the NYPD
treats officers differently, we'll say that to another conversation. I

(01:38:17):
hear you, lad, because it's fascinating because you don't have
how it is in Staten in Stanton Island. Anyway, Thank you, Chief,
thank you for the conversation, thank you for the information,
and thank you for being a positive police officer out there,
because you know, we need more folks like you are
patrolling the streets, are looking out for our folks, especially
ones who are in supervisory positions.

Speaker 7 (01:38:36):
Well, was my pleasure, and you need to continue this
because what you're doing is absolutely fantastic. You're bringing information
to people, and the more information they get, the better
they are, the more you enrich their lives. So I
thank you for what you do.

Speaker 1 (01:38:50):
All right, Thanks Chief, all righty, thank family. That's if
we retired NYPD Patrol Chief Bill Chapman is also the
Commission of Police and Bridgeport, Connecticut, and he knows all
about Mayor Eric Adams and he was giving us what
was going on in the Mayor Oal Race in New
York City. Let's turn our attention now to holistic and
traditional doctor doctor a doctor A Grand Rising. Welcome back

(01:39:12):
to the program.

Speaker 10 (01:39:14):
Grand Rising, Carl, I tell you this is a fabulous
day for me to join your national audience. It's the
thirtieth day of September. And although we have lost the
legendary Asada Shakur, we will win. We will win.

Speaker 1 (01:39:32):
All right, thank you for saluting sister Shida. But I
got to ask you, and let me just tell the folks.
Let me just say straight up, Doctor A, as I mentioned,
is a holistic doctor nag the pak. Doctor Shaws also
can give you a primary care physician's approach if you've
got a health challenge, or you know a friend who's
got a health challenge. And again, family, don't be bashful.
Take advantage of those you've been to the doctor recently.

(01:39:53):
You see how the short trift you get, maybe get
fifteen minutes if you're lucky. So there's a chance now
to get a second or third per from doctor A.
Or you can get a holistic response if you want,
or she'll give you a traditional you know doctor's response
did you get when you go on the doctor's office
with the white coach. So again, please take advantage of her,
of her expertise. I say this every time she comes

(01:40:14):
on people. Some people sit and they wait. They've got
an issue, but they hope somebody else has a similar
issue and will call in for them. No, be proactive.
It's your health. This is all you've got. So again, family,
take advantage of doctor A.

Speaker 2 (01:40:26):
Doctor A.

Speaker 1 (01:40:26):
The last time we spoke, we were talking about some
of the major issues that face out community. We're talking
about hypertension and kidney disease and some other issues, and
they still number one in our communities the traditional disease
and if so.

Speaker 10 (01:40:41):
Why Carl. It is so important for you to bring
up this topic because we built this nation. We literally
built the back of America. And yet when it comes
to any form of disease, Carl, you can go A A, H,
HIV B, breast cancer, c all cancers, P, prostate cancer,

(01:41:07):
all the way through the alphabet. Carl, black and brown
people are disproportionately affected. So if I look at the.

Speaker 20 (01:41:15):
Nineteen right there, though, hold on that.

Speaker 1 (01:41:18):
Why why are we dispropotionally represented doing all.

Speaker 10 (01:41:21):
The thetutionalized racism Carl. That desegregation and alleged equalization of economics, Okay,
allowing black and brown people to be six seven and
eight figure black people, that didn't change anything about the

(01:41:42):
institutionalized racism in America. As long as your feet are
planted in this country, you're part of the institutions of
this country, from the educational system to the healthcare system.
It was designed to annihilate black and brown people. That's
the problem, Carl.

Speaker 2 (01:42:03):
That's interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:42:04):
You know, I did an interview with Bill Cosby this
is when Bill was rolling back in the day, and
asked him about, you know, being wealthy and he says,
it's no difference being wealthy and being poor. Says, the
only difference is he can afford any that the best
medical treatment that money can buy. And he mentioned that
his mom had some high pertension issues and he could
get the best doctors in Switzerland to come and see

(01:42:24):
his mother. But I was thinking about that when when
when you talked about why we're at the bottom of
the barrel, is it money the issue?

Speaker 2 (01:42:32):
Then, like Cosby was saying, so.

Speaker 10 (01:42:35):
See, that's that's the unfortunate part. Uh Oj found out
the hard way, and so did Bill Cosby. A lot
of our legends find out the hard way. Even Billy
Holiday quiet as kept was a revolutionary just like Nina Simone,
and both miraculously suspiciously ended up addicted to drugs and

(01:42:57):
unable to function. The bottom line is this car. Being
a revolutionary often requires you to be an exile outside
of this country. The confines of the United States of America,
from the constitution to the prison system, it's not designed
to empower black and brown people. So when they notice
exceptions to the rule. For example, desegregation certainly allowed more

(01:43:22):
black professionals, well, guess what now trumps put an end
to that. He's reversing everything so that black and brown
children can go back to the prison or the field.
That's what he's trying to create.

Speaker 1 (01:43:36):
Well, let me ask you this because you mentioned addiction,
and this may have been the Internet. It may be
one of our scholars that said, doctor A that said
that we are prone to addictions because of the melanine
in our skin. Is there any truth to that because
we have melanine that we you know, we get addicted to,
whether it be a cocaine or whether it be a
cigarettes or marijuana or alcohol, is there any truth to

(01:43:59):
that at all?

Speaker 2 (01:44:00):
Just a myth.

Speaker 10 (01:44:01):
Well, what I would say is actually more scientifically accurate
is that there have been chemicals that are designed and
so they have weaponized melanine the same as the HIV
virus and the AIDS disease is more prone in a
melanated body. Okay, so we've always been disproportionately affected by

(01:44:25):
HIV and AIDS. The same is true not for all
drugs and not for alcohol, but for certain drugs. Yes,
the chemical compounds can be weaponized against melanated people. So
the main thing, Carl that makes us more prone to
addiction is our journey in America, the trauma, the unhealed scars,

(01:44:48):
the lack of healing, and so traumatization leads to self
medication under all circumstances, and so many black and brown
people are self medicating a very, very traumatic existence just
to maintain sustenance. And that's unfortunate because real healing is

(01:45:10):
accessible to us. And that's why you have this show.
This is why I come on the show, because real
healing is available in this twenty first century to black
and brown people. We will win. And I say that
quoting Bob Marley, not just because it sounds good. It's
a sound bite. No, it's a reality, it's a truth.

(01:45:31):
But it has to start with us owning our own power.
We've got to reclaim our power.

Speaker 21 (01:45:35):
Carl.

Speaker 1 (01:45:36):
That's number one, all right, fourteen a half the top
down family, just checking in. Our guess is doctor a
doctor as a natural patic and a traditional doctor. You
got a health challenge, a health question. This is a
lady you need to reach it to and you can
do that on the phone at eight hundred four five
zero seventy eight to seventy s. It's got a tweet
question for you before we do that, though, Sister Sondra's
calling online two from Southeast DC. Sister Sondra Grand Rising,

(01:45:59):
You're on with doctor A.

Speaker 22 (01:46:00):
Grand Rise and call. And I couldn't let doctor A
come on call without me saying good morning and to
tell her to have a blessed day and be safe.
I am a friend of her mother, Bernita and doctor A.
I just want to say I was really glad to
hear that you were coming back on and I will

(01:46:20):
be getting in touch with you, so have a blessed
day and be safe.

Speaker 10 (01:46:27):
You know, Sandra always makes me feel so warm and fuzzy,
and I don't know how she manages to even get
through on your lines, Carl, because I know people are
calling from all over the country, but she what do
you call? Blows up the phone until she gets through,
and she just makes me feel so good because it's

(01:46:47):
nothing like being well loved. It's nothing like giving love
and receiving love, Carl. In the end of days, there
will only be hope, faith and love. The rest is
going to dissipate.

Speaker 1 (01:47:00):
And that's why you're here this morning to share all
this information with us. We got to step aside for
a few months. We'll come back. Mary in Greenville South
Carolina has a question for you. Also have a tweet
to send in a question. As soon as they heard
you were coming on family, you two can join this conversation.
You got a health question, health challenge, or just just
want to know something more about health, reach out to
us at eight hundred four five zero seventy eight seventy six.

(01:47:21):
You're going to get a response across the spectrum with
our guess. Doctor A will take your phone calls next
on this Tuesday morning, this last day of September twenty
twenty five. I guess this doctor. As I mentioned, she's
a holistic doctor also a traditional doctor as well. She
get it both ways. You got a question about your
health or you know the friends got up hey, and
you don't have to use your real name, but take
advantage of her expertise. Don't sit there. And this reminds

(01:47:44):
me doctor, Hey, I've got some friends. I got a friend,
a couple of friends. I've prostate cancer and they refuse
to do anything about it. For us to go holistically
or traditional they just say, you know, just blase about
the whole thing, and nothing I can say. We'll convince
them to go see a doctor, you know, eve to
take care of it holistically, or just go to a
traditional doctor. For a couple of my friends, before I

(01:48:05):
take calls for you, doctor, what would you tell them,
because I know they're listening.

Speaker 10 (01:48:09):
You know what, Carl, thank you so much for bringing
up black men. Let me just say today is the
birthday of one of the most important black men in
my life, my stepfather, who walked me down the aisle
for marriage. I love talking about black men's health. Number one,
the fact that you've been diagnosed with cancer is an

(01:48:29):
opportunity for healing. Early diagnosis. I don't care if it's
breast cancer, prostate cancer, gastric cancer. When you're diagnosed early,
you can be cured. Okay, this is not the seventies
and the eighties, So Carl, A lot of your generation
of men, Okay, men who saw Vietnam, men who saw
these segregation are used to what used to happen. Black

(01:48:53):
people didn't have health insurance. We walk into the hospital,
we got staged four cancer. So the next thing, you know,
the story or the rumor so and so into the
hospital and they drop dead. Many stories like that were
passed on in your generation, and stories about so and
so drank water and got sick. Guess what we are
in twenty twenty five. It is not that day. What

(01:49:16):
I would say to these men is this, you live
in America. Thank God, you're not in the Third world,
where you really are basically ass out. Okay, if you're
diagnosed with cancer in the third world, you don't have
access to radiation and chemotherapy and the various things to
deal with advanced cancer. Holistic therapy is really for prevention.

(01:49:36):
Holistic therapy is to keep your body detox free of
free radicals. Keep your body in an alkalinized state. Drink
alkaline water, take Omega three fatty acids, take Vitamin D,
get outdoors in nature, experience nature frequently. Do cardiovascular activity

(01:49:57):
one hundred and fifty minutes a week. Do some strength training,
weight bearing activity three times a week. Those are prevention, Carl.
People who've already been diagnosed with cancer, You're past the prevention.
You're past the broccoli, You past all of that. You
need to get real with yourself. You have access to
doctors and hospitals in this country. They're people that live

(01:50:20):
in countries. Look at Gaza.

Speaker 21 (01:50:23):
They just blew up the very.

Speaker 10 (01:50:24):
Last hospital in Gaza. Okay, people who are in Gaza
with cancer. They're up the creek. They got to get
to another country to find help. If you're in this country,
you somewhere within your vicinity, within twenty miles in all likelihood,
there is a hospital. And guess what your people they sweat,

(01:50:45):
they bled, and they were murdered so that you would
have the right to health care. Get in there and
get your inheritance. That's my advice, Karl, get your inheritance.
Know all the facts about the cancer, and if it's early,
you can be cured.

Speaker 1 (01:51:02):
All right, fellas you heard what the doctor said. Twenty
three after the top, they are Nick is checking in
from Jersey Online for Grand Rising. Mickey around with doctor A.

Speaker 23 (01:51:11):
Okay, how are you doing, Good morning, good morning, thank
you for being up. I'm off today.

Speaker 10 (01:51:23):
I have two questions. I have one an insurance and
I have.

Speaker 23 (01:51:27):
One on hyperdilasm. You know, I realized that a lot
of us are getting a lot of older immun disease
and in well in my family.

Speaker 10 (01:51:41):
And also the insurance.

Speaker 23 (01:51:45):
They take advantage, I think because they always wanted a
referral before another referral, before another referral.

Speaker 10 (01:51:54):
Yeah, why well, let's tackle the insurance question. First of all,
the problem is this. There was a time, Mickey, before
you're in my lifetime, where a relationship between a healer
and the patient was a one on one relation, just

(01:52:15):
like a priest and their parishioner, or a rabbi and
their parishioner, or a pastor and their parishioner. It's one
on one, an individual and very personal relationship. There used
to be a personal relationship between a doctor and their patient.
The doctor is the one who's made the sacrifice to

(01:52:36):
train and to become experts. The patient's the one with
the story in the personal history. The insurance company inserted
themselves in the middle. Mickey. You know when they did that.
Richard Nixon sat down with Ed Kaiser in the Oval
office and just like Trump doing diabolical things today, they
did diabolical things and they invented Kaiser Permanente from would

(01:53:00):
repond all other private health insurance. What that does is
create a capitalism scheme for a middle man that has
no business collecting money. He's not the patient, he's not
the doctor, but this middle man in order for him
to profit, Mickey, he's got to deny, deny, deny, So

(01:53:20):
his job is to deny your claim and to make
sure that you don't get the benefits of health insurance
because that way he can't make a profit. So it's
really it's a very very adverse system. And this is
why we don't have universal health care in this country,
because we have a profit bearing system of health care.

Speaker 23 (01:53:40):
Hear me, because I was listening to some lady on
tiktoks and she went to Thailand and they're like, they
took it right away.

Speaker 12 (01:53:47):
I was like, it would have taken money for us
to get a specialist.

Speaker 2 (01:53:55):
Well, let me jump in.

Speaker 1 (01:53:56):
Here, Mickey Hold. I felt right there, mickey, doctor A.
Why is here this country? It's just about I think
it's the only country don't have universal healthcare. The rest
of the world has it. You go to Canada, go
to UK, friends, making mention of Philly, why not.

Speaker 10 (01:54:09):
Only not only do they have universal health care, Carl,
they have better profile in terms of health of the
people in that country. So, in other words, as a
developed country, the United States is lagging behind all of
these other countries that you mentioned because we don't value

(01:54:30):
good health. What we value is money. Do they say
it right there in plaint Angels, we're a cactless country.
Every other country under the sun has some philosophical belief,
some value system that is represented in how they represent
themselves as a nation. We represent right up front. We

(01:54:51):
don't care about nothing but the almighty dollar. So when
it comes to health, when it comes to education, we're
taking all public education and putting it in charge, fool.
And then charter schools can be manipulated any kind of way.
They don't have the same obligations of equality and freedom
that public education have as a standard. So that's in

(01:55:11):
health care as well. It started in health care, and
we did not pay attention as American people when they
are health care, Carl. Is when they started with health
insurance company. That's when they began to take away the
liberty called the white and health care.

Speaker 1 (01:55:30):
And let me just interject real quick. That's that's what
this stalemate with this budget is all about. That's they
shut down the country because the Democrats are fighting to
include a healthcare initiatives in the budget, and the Republicans
don't want don't want that in there.

Speaker 10 (01:55:44):
So that you put us only they're going even further, Carl.
They don't just want to remove health care, health care,
social security, Medicare and medicare basically the poorest and the
oldest can go to hell. That's that's what Trump passed
to say. And then the middle beautiful will eliminates that. Yes,

(01:56:04):
so we have rich and impoverished people.

Speaker 24 (01:56:07):
That's it.

Speaker 10 (01:56:08):
That's all we're gonna be left with.

Speaker 2 (01:56:10):
Right, making your follow up question for doctor A.

Speaker 23 (01:56:15):
The a lot of a lot of people are coming
down with a lot of auto immune diseases, and I
would like to know if that has to do with
what you were saying before, with all the chemicals and
stuff like that.

Speaker 10 (01:56:32):
Mickey, this is an extremely important question. My father died
of autoimmune disease. Bernie Max died of autoimmune disease.

Speaker 21 (01:56:43):
Many many, many.

Speaker 10 (01:56:45):
Black legends we have lost to autoimmune disease. Hyperthyroidism can
be one form of an autoimmune disease. But we know
the genetically modified foods that we are being fed have
a lot to do with this. So number one grain
was modified in America to make it grow faster and

(01:57:07):
be more profitable. We modified it. So this is why
so many people have ciliac disease. They have gluten allergies.
That's a manufactured allergy. Allergies in general have gone through
the roofs. Why because our body cannot tolerate all of
this genetic modification of our food and our environment. So

(01:57:29):
absolutely there's a correlation. And Carl, you talked about our
melanated people more prone when it comes to autoimmune disease
is a scientific facts. We are more prone. So the
genetic modification has more harmful effect on us than anybody.
We need more black farmers.

Speaker 1 (01:57:47):
Thirty minutes after top down Family, doctor Asa, I guess
you got a health challenge. This is the lady you
need to talk to you. And again you don't have
to use your real name or real city, because you
know many of our people who kind of like to
keep their privacy when it comes to you know, the health.
But here's a chance for you to speak to it.
Speak to a person who knows on both ends of
the health spectrum, whether it be traditional or whether it

(01:58:09):
be holistic, and you can question her. At eight hundred
four five zero seventy eight seventy six, Thomas is calling
from DC's online five Grand Rising Thomas with doctor A.

Speaker 10 (01:58:20):
Good morning, good morning, DC is my hometown. I'm so
glad you called it.

Speaker 12 (01:58:28):
Well, I have to have to call my favorite doctor
in the whole wide world, my daughter of my best friend,
my everything. So your mother and I we you know,
she drags me up there, you know, because she didn't
she know more plus her but not waken me up

(01:58:49):
in time. But to hear you, and I'm just so lady,
I mean you so you know, you're so articulated. I'm
very smart, right on point, and you and you convey
all the right things to people. And wanted to say

(01:59:11):
that went the world of news. What a wonderful person
you are and how smart you are not own of
that good looking Yeah, you know, I just wanted to
say all those things, you got it all in one package.

Speaker 10 (01:59:27):
Well, thank you so much, Thomas. Let me take the
opportunity to say happy birthday and to honor the Queen,
doctor Thompson. That's right there, listening in always to the
Carl Nelson Show. The whole Roots family is listening in
all over the district and the DMV area. The Roots

(01:59:48):
family is tuning into Carl Nelson, and we appreciate.

Speaker 1 (01:59:52):
All of you.

Speaker 10 (01:59:53):
Let me also speak one more time about melanin since
Car brought it up. It's very important for our community
to know how we are uniquely affected. Melanin is also
a natural sunscreen, so prior to the ozone damage, African
people naturally had a protection that we could be in

(02:00:13):
the sun for longer. Africa is a sun bound nation
right on the equator, so we had a natural equipment.
The darker pig minute person therefore requires more sun exposure
for solar derived synthesis of vitamin D. Also, the elderly

(02:00:34):
may have up to a seventy five percent impaired skin
production or synthesis of vitamin D. We naturally make vitamin
D right there in our own skin to meet the
body's daily and weekly requirement of vitamin D. Experts recommend
ten to fifteen minutes a dailly exposure to sun over

(02:00:55):
forty percent of your skin, and twenty to twenty five
minutes three times a week using facial sunscreen. But in
other words, I said earlier in the program Carl, for
our audience to get out in nature. You cannot sit
at the computer all day long like we did in COVID. Okay,
COVID was extremely harmful and disease incidents went up, as

(02:01:16):
well as mental health crises going up. It's critical that
we commune with nature. We are God's people, and we're
spirit before flesh. We've got to get outside. Vitamin D
leads to depression and all sorts of problems. There's an
association with schizophrenia with vitamin D deficiency. Elderly women with

(02:01:39):
low levels of vitamin D have an increased risk of falling,
and oscioporosis affects one third of women in their sixties
and two thirds of women over eighty. So let's really
get serious about our vitamin D. We don't have to
take a prescription for that. Black people. Let's get outside.
Let's absorb vitamin D. Caucuation people absorb it more rapidly.

(02:02:02):
We need a little more sun exposure. And this is
why when we're incarcerated, guess what you can't do. Go outside.

Speaker 2 (02:02:11):
Check that.

Speaker 1 (02:02:12):
Thank you, Thomas, Thanks you called twenty six away from
the top, doctor A. I got your mom on the line.
I had doctor Bernita Thompson from Washington, DC, roots from
the Root School. Let me just say this, Benita Thompson,
you know afrocentric school and doctor A is a product
of that school. So grand rising, doctor Benita, welcome to
the program.

Speaker 25 (02:02:30):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 6 (02:02:31):
Carl.

Speaker 25 (02:02:32):
I want to thank you Carl for having doctor A
on because now that we don't have a CDC that
we can trust, we need doctor A to talk to
us about real, the real truths about healthcare. And I'm
so happy that she's on today. And i have a

(02:02:55):
question for doctor A. What is your website so people
can and go on there and purchase some of the
life Waves stem cell regenerative patches that you wear and
your husband and I.

Speaker 10 (02:03:12):
Were excellent, So for our listening audience, you can find
more information and order this for yourself if you go
to the following website lifewaves dot com slash doctor Amherson,
doctor A. M. E. R.

Speaker 18 (02:03:32):
S O N.

Speaker 10 (02:03:33):
Now, let me explain what we're talking about. There are
two things that stimulate natural healing that have been more
and more scientifically verified, but even before that, I've been
studying stem cells for the entire twenty five plus years
that I have been a Board certified obgyn. I started

(02:03:55):
my study of stem cells when I graduated from Columbia
and I was delivering baby and the stem cells of
the umbilical cord could cure over seventy diseases. Well, stem
cell technology has been advanced two more decades, so that
the stem cells now can be stimulated from your own body.

(02:04:16):
They don't have to be transplanted from the umbilical cord
or from another person where your immune system, like Mickey said,
can have an autoimmune reaction and reject the stem cells.
Your own stem cell can be regenerated.

Speaker 1 (02:04:31):
We have them at bird right and hold on thor
right there, doctor A. We got to step aside for
a few moments and we come back. I'll let you
finish your response to your mom's question. Doctor Benita Thompson
in Washington, DC. It's twenty three minutes away from the
top of the our family. You got a health challenge,
a health question, reach out to us. Doctor A has
got the answer. You can get it at eight hundred
and four or five zero seventy eight seventy six and
we'll take your phone calls next and grand Rising family,

(02:04:53):
thanks to staying with us on this Tuesday morning, this
last day of September twenty twenty five. I guess this doctor,
as I mentioned, doctor A is a traditional doctor and
she's also a holistic doctor. So I'll give you both
perspectives when you come to your health and don't play
around with the health. The other stuff we could talk about,
you know, with the inflation, will be what's going on
in the government, the sports, whatever. If you're laying up

(02:05:13):
on your back, it's a whole different animal now because
this is that's you only got one life to live.
It's your life. Take advantage of her expertise. Again, you
can reach her at eight hundred four or five zero
seventy eight seventy six. And I don't think that somebody
else has a similar problems going to call in. You've
got to be proactive on all levels when it comes
to your health. Before we go back to her, let

(02:05:34):
me just remind you. Coming up later this week, you
and hear from clinical psychologist doctor Jeromey Fox. Also a
Public Enemies Minister of Information, Professor Griff will be here
and a medical doctor and also he's a scientist, Doctor
Keith Crawford will join us. So if you are in Baltimore,
make sure your radio is locked and tight on ten
ten WLB or if you're in a DMV, we're on
FM ninety five point nine and AM fourteen fifty WOL.

(02:05:56):
All right, doctor, he was telling us about the sam
Steals and we got a bunch of folks got questions
for I'm sure we do.

Speaker 10 (02:06:02):
Stem cells are fascinating, Carl, And the conclusion of what
I was saying is that, again, my work with stem
cells began as an obstetrician in the labor room, in
the operating room where we are delivering the baby newly
out of the womb. Those stem cells were able twenty
five years ago to cure seventy diseases. Those stem cells

(02:06:26):
were able to be matched with someone in the family
or outside of the family in order to transplant them
and cure disease. However, twenty five years later, we can
utilize our own stem cells. So there are patches that
utilize infrared technology to activate your body's own stem cells

(02:06:47):
that you had it birth, that you lose with age
to cure disease. So I use them. I have my
mother using them, and my husband uses them. My husband
uses them because he was in a diabetic coma. I
use them because I have a herniated disk in my
back and I suffer from paining. My mother uses them multifactorially,

(02:07:09):
but most especially because she's seventy nine and they are
the closest thing we have to reversing age. So let's
go to the callers about this fascinating topic and others.

Speaker 1 (02:07:22):
All right, let's start with that. Tyrone has calling from
Baltimore's Online Too, Grand Rising, Tyrone, you're on with doctor A.

Speaker 16 (02:07:28):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (02:07:29):
Wow, excellent discussion. And I was fighting impressed with your
explanation about while we have insurance company the best way
I've heard explained ever, and yeah, it's.

Speaker 5 (02:07:39):
All my money.

Speaker 9 (02:07:40):
Do you think do you think that we'll be able
to have universal healthcare because we have no reason for
having to have these tell insurance companies and.

Speaker 19 (02:07:49):
What we need?

Speaker 9 (02:07:49):
What do we need to do to to bring it about? Also,
do you think we'll ever reverse an aiding process?

Speaker 10 (02:07:58):
Excellent and beautiful questions. Excellent questions. I love them. First
of all, brother, let me start with the most exciting
good news. Continuing on the topic that I just spoke about,
we are really learning, as a global scientific community more
and more about our God given ability to heal. Okay,

(02:08:19):
we discounted that, and we were so busy looking outside
of ourselves to the medicine, the herb, but this, that,
and the other the first we looked and things that
God created on the planet. Then we began to be
even more arrogant. We came up with the solutions. Okay,
we've got all kinds of prescription drugs and there is
usefulness of them thanks to the fact that we live

(02:08:40):
a very toxic life without healing in the process. However,
we're now at the point where found therapy and infrared
technology that activates our own stem cells can actually begin
to reverse the aging process, can heal trauma that we
now understand that that trauma and violence are associated with

(02:09:04):
rapid deterioration and aging, that even dementia and Alzheimer's are
linked with unhealed trauma. So, brother, the exciting news is
tacked within to blossom outwardly and in terms of you,
I love it. It's developing all across the country. If

(02:09:29):
you google the things that I'm saying, number one, you
can go to my website. In terms of the stem
cell utilizing your own infrared technology in your body when
you're in the light, because we don't live in darkness,
we live in light, so it's activated spontaneously. Your own
stem cells that you had at birth, that you had

(02:09:50):
in the first five years of life, will be reactivated
at whatever age you are with the patch. Secondly, sound therapy,
I'm participating in a workshop in New Jersey. So I
will be in fair Law, New Jersey for the broad audience.
There's gonna be a workshop in fair Law, New Jersey.
You can go to my Facebook page and find it.

(02:10:12):
And it's gonna be for women and it's going to
be self care all day from morning until eight o'clock
at night. We're gonna have multiple modalities including sound therapy,
including yoga, and of course just getting real with you
about your health. You're you're listening to a board certified doctor,
You've got a duela, you have a vaginal theme therapist.

(02:10:36):
I mean, we're gonna get busy with the women. We're
gonna talk about everything from head to toe, inside and out.
So there's so many different workshops, retreats, and opportunities now
for us to engage sound therapy for activating our own
healing and hope.

Speaker 9 (02:10:53):
Robert Kennedy with you. Thanks for.

Speaker 15 (02:10:56):
Oh I love that.

Speaker 10 (02:10:57):
Thank you for your call, caller, I love the and
appreciate everything you said.

Speaker 1 (02:11:02):
All right, Thanks tyro Thirteen away from the top of
a tweet. Question for you, doctor A, how can we survive?
It's a tweeter. I'll just read it. How can we
survive the mental mentally from the chaos that's happening around us.
And the tweter goes on and say, it's gotten to
the point where I jump at the least at least
at the least thing a car backfiring, walking towards white

(02:11:22):
people makes me nervous, crowded spaces at the ease of COVID, scared,
scared to a ten church because we might get shot.

Speaker 2 (02:11:31):
How do we deal with that? This is a tweeter
question for you.

Speaker 10 (02:11:34):
This is the most real question I've been asked all day, Carl.
It almost brings me to tears because it's so sincere,
it's so heartfelt, and it's so profound. This caller is
speaking for at least one million listeners. Okay, because the
fact is we have been systematically terrorized, no different than

(02:11:54):
happens when flavor bolts were occurring and Matha wanted to
sub do the masses of black people that were enslaved.
How did they do it? Terror? Okay, so we've been
terrorized intentionally. The shutdown that happened during COVID had a
ripple effect in terms of mental health consequences. Let's get

(02:12:17):
to the solutions. Number one, I cannot say it enough. Okay,
I live two blocks from the beach. I am constantly
putting my feet in the sand. I am constantly listening
to the ocean waves to soothe my soul, to meditate,
to reconnect with my ancestors. If you do not transcend

(02:12:39):
this time and space, it will eng for you. You've
got to be in this place, but not of this place.
Right now, African people, we can stand our ground, but
guess what we can also reclaim like the san Kopa birds,
all of the ancient customs. Okay, begin with the wholeistic eating.

(02:13:01):
Instead of starting your day with processed, chemicalized food. Don't
have no pancakes and waffles and bagel. No, start with
a smoothie. Get some flax seeds. Your nourishment is a
very critical part to your mental health. Another critical part
to your mental health is your sleep. If you're not

(02:13:22):
sleeping six to eight hours a night, you're not gonna
make it. Mentally, you're going to crack. In the hospital,
we call it icy use psychosis. A person will become
a nut. If you simply deprive them of sleep for
seventy two hours, you can induce schizophrenia. Did you hear me?
Black people. You can induce schizophrenia. We've got to guard

(02:13:44):
our mental health.

Speaker 6 (02:13:45):
We really do.

Speaker 10 (02:13:46):
So, get outside, commune with nature. Begin to nourish your body.
Buy different books. See we have access to knowledge now.
Buy books on holistic eating. How do I eat whole grain?
How do I get back to whole foods? How do
I get more vegetables in my diet and less starch?

(02:14:08):
How do I get the proper protein in my diet?
How can I get dairy without eating milk? All of
these things you can discover, Put them into your library
and get healthy. Begin to breathe more frequently. That's what
meditation and yogurt are about, fundamentally breathing. We will win
black people. Thank you, Carler, I really appreciate your sincerity.

Speaker 2 (02:14:31):
All right.

Speaker 1 (02:14:31):
Nine away from the top of Kafe's in DC online,
four has a question for your grand rise and caffee.

Speaker 2 (02:14:36):
You're on with doctor A.

Speaker 10 (02:14:39):
I mean, good morning, Kaffy, Good morning, Kathy, I was
good morning.

Speaker 21 (02:14:48):
I'm calling to find out if there are any holistic
treatments for uterine fibroids. I had a laparoscopic biomectomy about
ten years ago and now discovered that fibroids are back,
and I don't want to have another surgery, so I'm
trying to find out if there's anything holistically like Saint

(02:15:10):
John's Bush that I can do to treat the fibroids
and get rid of them to shrinthen.

Speaker 10 (02:15:16):
Okay, that's an excellent question, and thank you for calling.
And you also represent many, many, many listeners. Fibroids are
extraordinarily common amongst Black women. We are more prone to
fibroid uterus than our Caucasian counterparts, so surgical options are available.

(02:15:37):
There's also embolization. Embolization is non surgical depending on the
size of your fibroids. For our listeners, a fibroid is
a growth of the muscle layer of the uterus, and
that growth can be the size of an acorn, the
size of a grapefruit, the size of a pumpkin. So

(02:15:58):
obviously it can cause pelvic pain, painful cramps, painful intercourse,
a feeling of heaviness and just weightiness, extremely heavy bleeding.
Some women require diapers to maintain the blood loss. There
are big clots coming out. Women have anemia and fainting,

(02:16:19):
so the consequences are severe. If embolization and surgery are
not options that one wants to pursue. Prevention is the
best strategy. Eating meat has been associated with fibroid development.
We know that estrogen feeds fibroids, So fatty tissue is
rich with estrogen and less body fat, and that will

(02:16:46):
remove what's feeding the fibroids. So weight loss and healthiness.
I talked about that earlier. One hundred and fifty minutes
a week of cardiovascular activity, weight training three times weekly,
eliminating meat from your diet, increasing your omega three, fatty acids,
and alkaline water. Those things, my sister, have been found

(02:17:10):
to allow the fibroids to shrink. You can also have
an obgyn administer Loopron while you do these nutritional and
lifestyle changes. Loopron literally measurably shrinks fibroids to give women
other options. When a fibroid is gigantic, sometimes surgery is
the only option, okay, but if you shrink it, then

(02:17:33):
potentially you have other options available. Thank you so much
for your call.

Speaker 2 (02:17:39):
Thank you Rank, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (02:17:40):
Kathy sticks away from the top there Jeromesen also in Washington,
DC online three grand rise in Jerome.

Speaker 2 (02:17:46):
I'm with doctor.

Speaker 8 (02:17:47):
Ah, Yeah, good morning, I have a question about blood work.
When the doctor tells you your blood work looks good,
does that necessarily mean that's the medication he's working.

Speaker 10 (02:18:05):
First of all, Jerome, I appreciate more black men calling
into the Carl Nelson Show. I salute you this morning. Okay,
you are bringing the real real. How do we translate
the doctor's language back into playing English. That's what the
brother's basically saying. Okay, doctor is talking like Charlie Brown.

(02:18:27):
Wah wah walk. How do I make it make sense?
First of all, blood work is too generic. Okay, I
go to my husband's doctor, visits with him because I
am a black doctor that loves this man, and the
doctor in front of him cannot say any of those things. Okay,
So the doctor in front of him may say, oh,

(02:18:49):
mister hood, your blood work is all normal. I'm not
going to accept that response. I need you to break
it down. What blood work? Did you test his cholesterol?
Did you test his blood sugar? Did you test him
for anemia? Did you test him to look at his
prostate and his risk for prostate?

Speaker 7 (02:19:10):
Can so?

Speaker 10 (02:19:10):
Again, my recommendation to you is this Number one, whatever
blood work you paid for a brother, you need a
copy of that. Okay, just like your banking bills, you
have a copy, not just the bank. It is your property. Well,
so is your blood work your property. You can take
a copy and then you can look up each and
every lab that the doctor has performed because you paid

(02:19:34):
for all of it. Okay. No blood work is free.
So when you look up each and every lab, then
you'll be able to determine for yourself what exactly is
this saying, Oh, this lab is for anemia, this lab
is for diabetes, this lab is for cholesterol. Damn, the

(02:19:55):
doctor didn't even check my vitamin D level. And then
you can go back and hold him account so does work?

Speaker 2 (02:20:03):
And hold that thought right there?

Speaker 1 (02:20:04):
Doc, Can you tell the doctor that this is what
if he's like, like Jerome said, he's getting a blood test,
can you tell me I want you to check for
this and this and hold on though I hold your response,
I hear the music. I let you finish the response
on the other side, and Jerome, I thank you for
your call. Four minutes away from the top. They have
family to please please take advantage of our expert doctor A.
If you want a holistic response, you want a traditional

(02:20:24):
doctor response. She got both of them. You can reach
us an eight hundred four or five zero seventy eight
seventy six and we'll take your phone calls next and
Grand Rising family, thanks for starting your Tuesday with us.
Our guest is doctor A doctor as a traditional doctors
you know whoere's the white sheet. She's also holistic a
naturopathic doctors another healthy way. So you have a health challenge.
This is lady you need to speak to. You can

(02:20:45):
reach her at eight hundred four or five zero seventy
eight to seventy six. Got some tweet questions for you,
But when you finish responding to Jerome's question, So, doctor A,
is it is it the patient's responsibility to tell the
doctor to if he's doing a blood test, what to
look for or because you know, some people are intimidating
when it comes to women having conversations with the doctors
and they feel a doctor knows everything, Which is it

(02:21:07):
up to the patient to say to you, guys, hey,
look for this, look for that, Look the blood test
for that. You know, because many of us don't even
know what blood type.

Speaker 10 (02:21:14):
We have, so explain you are right, you are right,
and this is why I love that we're discussing this
from a male perspective, because I've been advocating to women
to walk into your visit knowing what you're looking for,
what you want to get out of that visit for
over twenty years. It's time to tell brothers the same message.

(02:21:35):
You do not walk into a doctor visit empty headed.
You said at the top of the hour. The problem
is what carl Doctors have ten to fifteen minutes per patient. Now,
that is the structure of the healthcare system. Unfortunately, that
packs a doctor's schedule with forty people, which is really unrealistic.

(02:21:55):
You cannot give holistic care from A to Z to
forty people in one eight hour period. It's impossible, and
especially if the forty people all walk in empty headed, daydreaming,
brain fog, don't know what the hell they want out
of the visit, and they're expecting you to hold the power. No,
the way it goes is this, the doctor is a

(02:22:16):
trained expert, but you're a trained expert too. About self.
Nobody has a blueprint of Jerome like Jerome. Nobody knows
Jerome's lifestyle, behavior, habit, family history, and the whole package.
Like Jerome. You have to put the two pieces together
to make the puzzle make sense. So if you don't

(02:22:38):
walk in knowing I am here for a well health visit.
What does well health for a fifty five year old
man mean? It means I need boom boom boom boom boom.
I need my cholesterol checked. I need to be screened
for diabetes. I need to be screened with my prostate.
I need to have a chest THAT'X ray because I'm

(02:22:58):
a smoker.

Speaker 21 (02:23:00):
Walk in and you know, like I.

Speaker 10 (02:23:01):
Said earlier, Carl, we now have an Internet. We didn't
even have that when I went away to college. See
now I'm aging myself, but that's the fact I typed
out college applications on a typewriter. What I'm talking about
is the age of information. There is no excuse for
ignorance anymore. During slavery, you were killed if you learned

(02:23:23):
how to read. Nowadays, there's no excuse not to know
how to read. You need to be literate and using
your literacy, google what your age well health visit entails
for your gender and ask for it specifically from your doctor.
Yes you have to hold your doctor accountable. Yes you

(02:23:43):
have to hold your police officer accountable. Yes you have
to hold your mayor accountable. Yes, you have to hold
your pastor accountable. Yes, you have to hold your priest accountable. Yes,
you have to hold your teacher accountable. Everybody, Now, this
is the age of transparency and accountability. It's not the
age of bout down, cow down, kiss the ring and
be quiet. We're coming out of that era. Wake up,

(02:24:06):
black people. We're not in that era anymore. You said
it accurately, Carl. We have a community of silence that
came from slavery, okay, when communication led to mutilation and death.
We are not in that era. We can communicate, and
we've got to learn to open our mouth. We have
historically been taught not to. And it's dangerous.

Speaker 1 (02:24:31):
All right, family that you heard, doctor A. I got
a bunch of folks from across the country got questions
for you, doctor A. You want to join in, and
you've got a question, and again, you don't have to
use your real name of your real city, but take
advantage of her expertise. I know because I've got one
of my my personal friends and doctor so I know
what he goes through. And she's right. Ten or fifteen
minutes is the max. You get eight hundred and four

(02:24:52):
or five zero seventy eight seven six and Keach's checking
in from DC on line five Grand Rising and Kechi,
your question for doctor A.

Speaker 15 (02:25:00):
Grand Rising call. I have a personal question, But first
I want to say I am a fan of the
doctor A fan club with her mother, doctor Bernita Thompson.
I've known doctor A r Aftera since she was a
little girl. So it just just me great pleasure to
hear her.

Speaker 14 (02:25:16):
She is so artick lit.

Speaker 26 (02:25:17):
I am just whoa my sister love you.

Speaker 15 (02:25:20):
I just want to say, I have a question for you,
but I just want to say that all the things
that you're talking about relates directly to a reparation. She's
talking about the health disparities and all of the impact
in terms of the trauma health disparities is one of
the injury areas, one of the five injury areas for
reparations claim.

Speaker 14 (02:25:38):
So you are right on part. But the question I
have for you vertico the issue of vertigo. Sometimes I
get vertigo, got I kind of dizzy and all, And what.

Speaker 19 (02:25:48):
Is the.

Speaker 15 (02:25:50):
Cause or the reason for vertigo.

Speaker 10 (02:25:54):
That's the question that I have. That is an excellent question,
first of all, And Kichi always always my elder but
looking like a hotty every day. Now, that's that's phenomenal.
And when you really want to talk about anti aging listeners,
you need to go to Mama and Kichi. Not only

(02:26:14):
is she a powerful, revolutionary, powerful attorney in the DMV
and nationwide, but she's a looker. So yes, I'm happy
to address what are the multiple multiple causes of vertigo
because vertigo can be caused by so many different things.
First of all, Mama and Kichi is to understand, you know,

(02:26:36):
vertigo really is an inner ear disorder, so a lot
of things can be causing that, from a central nervous
system disorder to a head trauma. Medications can cause it.
Migrain headaches can lead to vertigo. Hormonal changes like menopause

(02:26:56):
can lead to vertigo. Motion sickness can bring about vertigo. Alcohol, caffine,
and various other nutrients consumptions can bring about vertigo. So
give me a little more insight. How long has this
been going on and what tends to trigger the symptom
of vertigo.

Speaker 15 (02:27:15):
So one thing, I thought it was stressed, you know,
when I was working, and you know, I just it
just wasn't too good. But now we're beginning to think
more about lack of sleep.

Speaker 14 (02:27:25):
I don't even name that.

Speaker 15 (02:27:26):
I don't know if that might be part of it.

Speaker 14 (02:27:28):
But when you mentioned inner ear, I really need to
do some research on that because.

Speaker 22 (02:27:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 15 (02:27:34):
Sometimes, yeah, it might have something to do with the ear,
because I can't always people talk about it.

Speaker 27 (02:27:41):
I talk so loud and on I talk loud a
lot of times.

Speaker 15 (02:27:44):
Because I can't really hear people, so I think they
can't hear me, so I talk even louder. So I
wonder if that has I don't know. I'm want to
investigate some of those things.

Speaker 10 (02:27:55):
I'm proud of you for that. I'm proud of you
for paying attention to yourself. You are, as you said
at the start of your call my Black Heroes, that
is very personal to me. That took me through write
the passage babyset me. And the bottom line is I
don't want to lose you, Okay. So one of the

(02:28:15):
things that our black heroes do is they give, give,
give to the community, and ignore self. I am so
proud that you're honoring your own inner temple today, and yes,
I want you to further explore an inner ear disorder.
Number One, you can have small calcium deposits in your

(02:28:35):
inner ear. Number two, you can have inflammation of your
inner ear. Number three, you can have what's called Minnere's disease,
that's a disorder in the fluid balance of your inner ear.
You deserve a top notch number one, top percent E
and T specialists right away, all right, do doc.

Speaker 14 (02:29:00):
I would definitely follow Doctor Brice.

Speaker 15 (02:29:03):
I appreciate that, my sister and I appreciate all of
everything that you've been doing.

Speaker 10 (02:29:07):
Keep it up well your call this morning. Even though
you every day try to impact a thousand lives a minimum,
the fact that you took five minutes for self is
a wake up call to all people within the sound
of my voice. Self care matters. Put it on the map.

Speaker 1 (02:29:26):
All right, Thank you, sister, and Kechi Taifa, as doctor
I mentioned, she one of the top attorneys and fighting
for us for reparations, has been in the front lines
of that battle for quite some time. In Keechie, tell
you and thank you for calling in and speaking to
doctor A. Ten after the top of the sister Sheena's
in Baltimore has a question for doctor A. She's online too,
Grand Rising Sister Sena, you're.

Speaker 12 (02:29:46):
On with doctor A train rise, brother call and doctor A.

Speaker 10 (02:29:51):
You are amazing. I have been in here sick and
I did what you was saying, Okay, trying to do
self care and I'm into natural things like it's fairly
into sea marks and stuff like that. But when you
spoke on the alkaline water, I was so thankful because
that's what began my healing. Is there's a sister name

(02:30:14):
Acosta hen Baltimore. She has an alkaline water company. And
if it's okay, brother Carl, I just want to give
her number.

Speaker 6 (02:30:22):
Because it's so key.

Speaker 10 (02:30:24):
It is four four to three six nine one three
two three eight. See more times there's four four to
three six nine one thirty two thirty nine. I'm sorry

(02:30:46):
I said eight. But anyway, I like to thank you
for just sharing because oftentimes we do in the community
put ourselves lad so it is okay to take care
of self and so I just wanted you to elaborate
on the importance because during this time that we have,
like you said, at the alkaline water, things like sea

(02:31:07):
mass Carolina, but know your body like you're shared with us.
And I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
And so though if you want to get the alkaline water.
You can also pick it up at Terre's Cafe at
twenty fifth in Saint Paul Street and forty six to
oh seven at Sister Earth's placed the House of Chiefs
here in Baltimore. But she will deliver as well. So

(02:31:28):
let's help this sister grow this business because this can
be like a dead park for us, and it does
kill your body. I love the alkaline water and I've
taken it to several singers and I have seen the
unimproving their health.

Speaker 1 (02:31:43):
All right, let's give a doctor at a response to
that of ankline water and the importance of sea mas
Sister Shina mentioned.

Speaker 2 (02:31:49):
Thank you, Sister Shina.

Speaker 10 (02:31:51):
Yeah, you know, the beauty of what Sister Shina is
talking about is a head to tell healing. It's not
point specific. Alkaline water is not just for bad skin
exima migraine, headache. Alkalind water counter acts all free radicals

(02:32:12):
in the body. Alkaline water counter acts all toxins within
your body. So we are newly finding out even right
here in Gary, Indiana where I'm speaking to you from,
that they just replaced my pipes within the past two
years because there was lead piping, and they replaced my

(02:32:35):
pipes because I live in a white neighborhood. The black
neighborhoods are Gary. They still have the lead piping. They'll
get to them later. Okay. So the point is our
environment is poisoning us. We all had the Canada fires
and all the smoke that came to the Midwest and
the East Coast. We can't avoid being exposed to the smoke.

(02:32:58):
We can't avoid the fact that our drinking water is
not what it should be. So guess what we do have?
An alternative? Alkaline water is what my mother uses. I
put her onto that over ten years ago, and so absolutely,
her doctor is astounded by her health. Her doctor can't

(02:33:19):
believe that she's functioning at the level she's functioning. She
continued to be principal until the age of seventy seven
years of age. Alkaline water, sea moss, and spirolina are
three things that will benefit every gender, every ethnicity, every age.

Speaker 1 (02:33:38):
Gotchap. Let's go to Atlanta. Christina is waiting for us online.
Six grand rising, Fatina. You're on with doctor A.

Speaker 15 (02:33:47):
Hello, docter A.

Speaker 28 (02:33:49):
It's good to spare you and to talk to you,
and I love you.

Speaker 27 (02:33:55):
But my question is about advocacy firms else when we're
in the doctor's office. Recently, well over my experiences, my
mom went in for a lump and they gave her antibiotics.
My son went in with a rib bicect and they

(02:34:16):
sent him home, uh not acknowledging it.

Speaker 10 (02:34:20):
Pregnancies.

Speaker 19 (02:34:21):
You know.

Speaker 28 (02:34:23):
My niece just went in and they wouldn't listen to
her and it turned out to be an issue with
the baby. So I you know, and my husband is
on four different medications for blood pressure and going to
the doctor regularly, so I just you know, doctors.

Speaker 10 (02:34:41):
Tell us one thing?

Speaker 7 (02:34:42):
What do?

Speaker 27 (02:34:43):
What can we do in order to advocate for ourselves?

Speaker 10 (02:34:48):
Thank you for calling Christina, and thank you for representing
from the South all we finally got called going from
our FA around the country. So it's very very critical
to address what you're bringing up because when we finally
get the courage to overcome the white coat syndrome and

(02:35:09):
interface with a healthcare professional, the worst thing in the world.
You know, it's like opening up and telling somebody I
love you and then they just cracked in your face.
You know, to go to any healthcare professional, it takes
an enormous amount of courage. Will power determination planning from

(02:35:30):
a person of color. It's not just an automatic like becky, okay.
And then to walk in the door and to have
an intuition about a thing, but you're trusting this person
as an expert. Okay, you're going to them, and you're
putting them on a pedestal. Sometimes that's the problem, Christina.
Number one, we got to vet our doctors. Okay, why

(02:35:51):
don't you look them up and not just take whoever's
on the insurance plan. Google your doctor. Look at the
reviews on the doctor because they'll tell you. People tell
the truth and the reviews, especially when they're pissed off.
This doctor didn't listen, they were overbooked, I waited three hours.
Blah blah blah blah. That doctors are very responsive to reviews, okay,

(02:36:13):
because that's their bread and butter. So look at the reviews.
Number two, you have an intuition about a thing and
the doctor's denying you. Okay, Let's take your son born
by that in somebody who's a bodybuilder, and the doctor
sends them home. You knew as a mother your intuition
is not sitting right. You go to a second opinion,

(02:36:36):
a third opinion, a fourth opinion, You keep going until
you're heard. Same thing with a pregnant mother. I have
delivered thousands of babies. I have seen even more catastrophes
of black women. It's been proven in studies that doctors
do not listen to black women the way they do

(02:36:57):
the Caucasian women. They are more just miss it of them.
They don't take their pain seriously. So if you suffer
rheumatoid arthritis and it's worse than your pregnancy and you're Black,
you're more likely not to be listened to.

Speaker 1 (02:37:11):
Oh, she's just complaining and hold up, all right there, doc,
We got to take a short break, and when you
come back, I want you to drill down that little bit,
because you know, some of the doctors think that our
sisters and the brothers as well can can absorb more
pain than white folks. So that may be in the
back of their minds and some of these doctors when
they are treating us as patients, to drill down there
and respond to Christina's questions. Thank you Christina for calling

(02:37:32):
us from Atlanta eight hundred and four or five zero
seventy eight seventy six. You two can get in on
this conversation. With doctor A. So I mentioned she's a
traditional doctor and also a holistic doctor. Reach out to
us and we'll take your phone calls next and Grand
Rising family, thanks for staying with us on this Tuesday
morning with our guest doctor A. Doctor A, I'll let
you finish your response to Christina from Atlanta. And you know,

(02:37:53):
because some of the doctors that they don't look like us,
so and some of them, some folks are intimidated by doctors.
That's why a chance to talk to a doctor who
looks like you, who cares about you. That's doctor A.
And some of these doctors feel that we have a
the threshold of pain is greater for us, for our people,
especially our women. So I'll let you address that before
I take off the call for you, doctor A.

Speaker 10 (02:38:13):
So the bottom line, Carl, is that we now have
actual scientific studies that have shown that there is a
bias towards the treatment of women of color versus Caucasian
women when it comes to pain, that our pain is
taken for granted, and there's a historic precedent for that.

(02:38:34):
Black women were seen as three pisks of the human
being in this United States of America. Nowhere else on
the globe where we that dehumanized. Okay, so we're in
that same country. Not much has changed but the weather,
as they say, so we have to acknowledge that we
need people of color treating people of color. Less than

(02:38:58):
ten percent of all doctors in this kind of are black,
and so that problem continues to exist, although we know
when we look at creamies in the nursery. Again, the
science and the studies have shown little black babies are
more likely to survive to year one when they're being
treated by a black doctor. And that's multifactorial, but the

(02:39:21):
stats are the stats. Okay. So again we have really
got to self overcome and that comes from self talk
that comes from exactly what we said to Jerome as
well as Christina, that you're entitled to healthcare. You have
ancestors that were mutilated and murdered so that you have

(02:39:42):
a right, and you step into a office of a
health care provider with a sense of entitlement. You're not
there for free and they're not doing you a favor.
You are paying for it. And it's okay to be
mindful of time constraints because again the time constraints are
systemic and not personal. So be prepared, but walk in

(02:40:06):
there with your own sense of authenticity, entitlement to your
well being, to your health. Be organized about what you
want to get out of the visit when you walk
out of the office. What do you need to have
accomplished to be satisfied? You need to be clear about
that so that if you don't get that, you now

(02:40:26):
are seeking another provider, and you can give a bad
review to that provider because they weren't listening to you
or addressing your needs.

Speaker 1 (02:40:36):
Got you twenty four after the toime to ask mention,
I've still got a bunch of folks got questions for you,
doctor A. Let's go to Detroit though slides online for
a Grand Rising.

Speaker 29 (02:40:44):
Sly, you're on with doctor A, Grand Rising Carl and
Grand Rising to the Queen. Doctor A, you know I've
been waiting for this interview, and of course you and
I have a.

Speaker 7 (02:40:59):
Talking on one.

Speaker 29 (02:41:01):
Thank you so much for giving me the information on
the life waves patch. But I have two questions. One
what is the best method to eliminate mucus from the
body number one? And number two, what can be done

(02:41:21):
to reverse elongation of the eyeball known as myopia?

Speaker 10 (02:41:33):
Okay, very very excellent questions and fly first of all,
Grand Rising, and it's so wonderful to hear your voice.
Is so good to have you on the airwaves. It's
a part of our national conversation. Once again, you're representing
topics that are so universal. So let me firstly address
the issue of mucus. Mucus is a huge problem more

(02:41:58):
for mellenated people because we are more reactionary to dairy
and dairy products. Once again, the dairy is not what
it was one hundred years ago. It's been modified in many,
many different ways that are not helpful to black and
brown people. So mucus production comes from multifactorial things, but

(02:42:19):
certainly the intake of dairy into our bodies is a
big part of it. Inflammation overall leads to disease.

Speaker 7 (02:42:30):
So what are.

Speaker 10 (02:42:31):
Effective ways to get rid of and manage slim and mucus?
Number one, Drinking plenty of fluids. Number two, there's a
natural nasal failing spray or rent that can be very
useful for getting mucus out. Number three, removing from your diet,

(02:42:55):
from your nutrition foods that are promoted in amatory and
inflammation as a process. So hydration, water, juice, soup to
basically send out the mucus. Steam is a wonderful technique.

(02:43:15):
So even going into your shower letting the steam get
really hot, using a humidifier in your home, all of
these things can loosen mucus. Another natural thing that's been
put on earth to remove mucus from the body is
gargling and salt. So taking a half teaspoon of salt

(02:43:36):
in a glass of warm water, gargling with that several
times a day is a very effective strategy for removing
mucus from the body. But again, you can't minimize thinking
about what are the causes of the mucus production in
your body in the first place, and really being mindful

(02:43:58):
about prevention. When the mucus is at an extreme, sometimes
you need chest percussions. That's where you actually have somebody
tapping on your chest or using cupped hands on your
chest to dislodge mucus from your chest. The medications that
you can use for mucus removal, they're expectorants that are

(02:44:21):
over the counter, so that helps to find out and.

Speaker 29 (02:44:25):
To loosen the mucus.

Speaker 10 (02:44:27):
They're also mucoltics. Those are medications that break the mucus
down into small and clear pieces. They're also over the
counter decongested. So pseudo effhedron is not something you want
to overuse, and I would certainly advise you if you're
using pseudoihedriant, a healthcare provider needs to be aware of

(02:44:50):
that at the minimum, because that can also raise your
blood pressure. If you already have high blood pressure. It
can complicate that. You mentioned eye disease, so you personally
fly may not want to use the pseudo ephedrin because
you already have a vascular issue that's going on. The
more natural things, like I said, nasal irrigation also postural drainage,

(02:45:16):
so when you lay in different positions, you can facilitate
drainage of mucus from other areas of the body. And
then suctioning is something that's done by medical professionals. So
that's really somebody who let's say they're asthmatic, they have strongchitis,
their findings on a chest X ray that things at

(02:45:36):
that point are pretty intense and severe. But lifestyle changes
staying away from smoke dust again, having a humidifier in
the house, quit smoking, and also eliminating your access and
your exposure to secondhand smoke managing your allergies. So allergies

(02:45:57):
are another thing that can cause tremendous news is build
up in the absence of just overall inflammation and poor diet.
Additional kind of tips, you want to cough gently. Coughing,
Fly is one of the things that can trigger a
number of secondary health consequences from fracturing a rib because

(02:46:22):
you cough so hard, women can lose bladder function because
they're coughing so hard, a number of things. So you
know when you're at the point where your congestion is
causing a very intense, hard cough again, it's time to
seek a healthcare professional. Fly, what was your second concern
that you wanted to address?

Speaker 12 (02:46:44):
It was about.

Speaker 29 (02:46:47):
Reversing the elongation of the eyeball known as myopia. And
also if you could explain the benefits from what I've
been hearing recently about watercress, but most importantly myopia and
how to reverse the elongation of eyeball.

Speaker 10 (02:47:10):
Okay, well, overall, the reversal of myopia or the correction
of near sightedness for the listeners is what he's asking about.
And currently that's not really, according to basic science, thought
to be something that is definitively possible. So there are

(02:47:34):
certainly treatments starting from eye exercises. The eye exercises help
the eye to focus and to reduce eyestrain, so that's
something your healthcare professionals should be teaching you at the
pain eye drops. So that's the medication that can flow
down the growth of the eye and reduce the progression

(02:47:58):
of the myopia, so it doesn't reverse it, but it
flows its progression. The other thing is lasik surgery, which
is a laser surgery that that can actually correct myopia
and it actually reshapes the cornea. Other things, Wearing specially

(02:48:19):
designed contact lenses overnight can temporarily reshape the cornea. So
those are the various modalities right now fly that are
the known treatment, but it's very important to note the
treatments may not be suitable for everyone. So it's very
important to go over the treatment options where you personally

(02:48:40):
with your healthcare provider, and you know, there's also ongoing
research about more potential because you can imagine how many
millions of people in this country are affected by nearsightedness.
It's overwhelming, So there is ongoing research at greater.

Speaker 7 (02:48:58):
Option slide okay, all right, thanks, thanks you try.

Speaker 10 (02:49:03):
Colin, Thank you for representing from Detroit. Love when you
guys call in.

Speaker 2 (02:49:07):
All right, doctor day.

Speaker 1 (02:49:09):
You talked about patches and somebody want to know if
the patches work for the knee for no cottilage in
the knee.

Speaker 10 (02:49:16):
Excellent, excellent question. So pain overall, Carl, is what the
patches absolutely do address and minimize. It doesn't matter where
in your body you're experience in a chronic pain or
what the specific reason for the chronic pain. So I
gave my own specific example is a herniation of a

(02:49:41):
disc in my spinal column. That's extraordinarily painful because a
bone is shifted out of position and pulling on all
of the central nerves that run down your spinal column.
So that's very similar to what the caller is asking about.
If you do not have sufficient cartilage in your knee

(02:50:02):
and you're trying to take modalities to avert surgery or
prevent progression of that arthritic condition, there are many things
that one needs to be doing. Wearing a knee brace
is part of it, so that you stabilize the knee,
doing regular non weight bearing exercises like recline bicycling, all

(02:50:27):
of those things are helpful nutritionally, alkaline, water, sea moss, spirillina,
omega three fatty acids, and absolutely, as opposed to taking
a boatload of motrin, tile and al or approxy and sodium,
using the patch to minimize your pain is effective. I'm

(02:50:49):
a living testimony that absolutely the pain you have to
wake up with, go to sleep with, endure the day,
and reduces your quality of life is minimizable, if not eliminated.
I have gotten to the point where I forget that
I had the pain over weeks of time, and I
didn't think that I could experience that. So thank you

(02:51:11):
for calling about something that is affecting millions of listeners,
and that is the arthritic condition that causes chronic need pain.

Speaker 1 (02:51:22):
Gotcha twenty five away from the top of it. Let's
go back to Atlanta. West is there he's online three
grand rising West. Your doctor?

Speaker 2 (02:51:28):
Your question for doctor A yeah, right on, right on.

Speaker 12 (02:51:32):
My family adig dot man.

Speaker 24 (02:51:34):
I got this folder bag on because I got stage
four prostate. So uh, this water bag and will do.
But I need to find with that immunity. This sturdy,
this my scurany coming to talk about it cost ninety
thousand dollars man for my genie therapy. So I need
to get in contact with you to get that doll
pat prank because that's what I'm about. Can't take it

(02:51:55):
my own DNA to heal myself.

Speaker 7 (02:51:57):
I talked the car about this report.

Speaker 2 (02:51:58):
Man, So what did you say? Ninety thousand dollars?

Speaker 15 (02:52:03):
Good?

Speaker 24 (02:52:04):
Would it take your whole that my doctor? The doctor
told me and an assurance company called ninety thousand dollars
to take your own DNA to clean it up, to
get the council and give it back to you. Ninety
thousand dollars. Man, Wow, to doctor, I need you to
get that information about that immanization because I'm about to
the genie while and you to myself. And I got

(02:52:25):
stage four and the doctor doing opened me up to
take the property.

Speaker 18 (02:52:28):
Life man.

Speaker 10 (02:52:30):
Likewave dot com flash, doctor A M. E. R.

Speaker 19 (02:52:34):
S O N.

Speaker 10 (02:52:35):
You're absolutely the right type of person. You're absolute on
somebody who you've already, like you said, they're already talking
to you about your DNA and your stem cells. But
ninety thousand it's not reasonable. I don't care what the
income bracket. That's unreasonable. And like we talked about earlier
in the show. No other country that's a developed country

(02:52:58):
would you be in this predicted you could go to
Cuba and get the therapy. You could go to Canada
and get the therapy, and that's pathetic, but absolutely please
go or have someone in your family go to the
website so that you can get these patches.

Speaker 24 (02:53:13):
Okay, you said it's lightwaves dot com, right, you got it.

Speaker 10 (02:53:17):
The backslash, Doctor Emerson, lifewave dot com backslash.

Speaker 12 (02:53:23):
Okay, back flash docor answer. That's doctor all the way
out of just dr.

Speaker 15 (02:53:29):

Speaker 10 (02:53:30):

Speaker 24 (02:53:31):
Glad you're specific, yes, ma'am, because I'm about to my
own dnator here, of my own shelf man. I was

But I appreciate it great. So I let you get
some more calls on that. Lord y'all, doctor, I'll be
contact you too.

Speaker 10 (02:53:45):
I look forward to it.

Speaker 2 (02:53:46):
God speed, all right, wells and good luck to you.

Speaker 1 (02:53:49):
Twenty three away from the top there. I gotta take
our last break and we come back. Still got some
more folks, got tweet questions for you, doctor, Hey across
the country eight hundred and four five zero seventy eight
seventy six if you can get in and we'll take
you phone calls. Next and Grand Rising family eighteen away
from the top. There I with our guest doctor A.
And again she's a traditional doctor, you know, in the
white suit and all that, but it's also a holistic doctor.

(02:54:10):
You got a question about that or a health challenge? Again,
you don't have to use your real name or real city.
Just reach out to us at eight hundred and four
or five zero seventy eight to seventy six of doctor.
We got a bunch of folks got questions for you,
so let's get to it right away. Let's go to
Sondra Sandra's in Baltimore Line too. Sandra, your question for
doctor A.

Speaker 10 (02:54:27):
Coome Grand Rising, Grand Rising, Sondra and Grand.

Speaker 20 (02:54:33):
Rising car got a little horse of excuse me, Doctor A.

Speaker 26 (02:54:39):
Thank you for knowing what you know that you know,
you know your stuff. I can tell you know it,
I can fill it, and I can see it. When
you went to school, you learned and you had some
very very good teachers. And I have been a nurse
for eighteen years, but I'm retired now. I like to
ask you to talk a little bit about the side

(02:54:59):
of the lord pain and what can I use holistically
to help it. I know I'm on medication, but that
don't seem to be doing whatever. And I'm very well
up on what I have and I talked to my
doctor about it. When he when I'm finished with him,
he tells me, I get him migraine because I want

(02:55:20):
to know that's showed me what I tell him.

Speaker 22 (02:55:25):
Tell me, show me more.

Speaker 20 (02:55:27):
Just don't give me a pill.

Speaker 15 (02:55:28):
Explain more.

Speaker 20 (02:55:29):
And I also go to the computer and look at up.
But I would like for you to tell me what
can I do to lead mind side of the name holistically?
It starts from my left side all the way down
to my uh feet.

Speaker 10 (02:55:46):
Okay, so thank you. First of all, thank you for calling.

Speaker 20 (02:55:52):
Is there is there a vitamin that you can take
towards that I had an unicity test?

Speaker 1 (02:56:00):
I got you.

Speaker 10 (02:56:01):
Let's go through the whole thing systematical.

Speaker 20 (02:56:03):
Okay, I appreciate I love you, bactor a thank you.
I'll listen. I'll hang up and listen. It's okay. Hann
was listening the life and.

Speaker 10 (02:56:11):
You as well. So first of all, I appreciate callers
like Sondra because this is somebody who practiced nursing for decades.
She understands the health care system, She understands the institution.
Our nurses are serving on the front line, and she
has been through it. So to be awake, listening and

(02:56:35):
providing herself with some self care, all of the above
are so noteworthy, they're so worthy of mimicking. So, first
of all, Sondra, thank you for representing from Baltimore, thank
you for representing for nurses across the country, and thank
you for representing for all the listeners that are suffering
from sciatica. Number one is to understand what we're dealing with.

(02:56:59):
Sciatica is the pain that is running down the sciatic
nerve of the body. Sociatic pain can be extraordinarily painful.
It's the cause of chronic pain, so that once you
are diagnosed with that, you're going to have that for lifetime.
So therefore, some holistic approaches include lifestyle changes, complementary therapies,

(02:57:24):
targeted exercises that really address the root cause and promote
overall well being. Instead of solely focusing on medication or surgery,
which is exactly what Sondra is inquiring about. You can
apply heat and ice, consistent movement like walking and yoga.

(02:57:45):
So Sondra, you really want to study the art of yoga.
You're somebody who doesn't need to just enroll in a
yoga class. You need to become a yoga expert, just
like you became an expert as a nurse. Adjustments can
be useful, and I will once again give personal testimony,

(02:58:05):
there's a right and a wrong chiropractor, just like there's
a right and the wrong cop. There's a right and
the wrong teacher. There's a right and the wrong doctor.
Vet all of your healthcare practitioners, but chiropractor is that's
been very useful in my life. In the past five years,
since being diagnosed with a herniated disk, I cannot rely
on oral pain medications. So number one, I just told you,

(02:58:29):
I'm using, thank God, the life wave patches in the
past two years. Prior to that, I was using a chilopractor,
and I continue to have adjustments as needed every six
months or whenever, depending upon my activity, depending upon my lifestyle.
Avoiding prolonged sitting, maintaining good posture. These are the basic

(02:58:54):
things that can lead to long term relief for people
who are suffering from sciatica. So gentle movement. You want
to stay active with activities like walking or I have
an aunt that is involved in aqua aerobics and she
is more healthy than she has ever been in her

(02:59:15):
elder years with going to aqua aerobics three times a week.
Bed Rest can worsen the symptoms as well as leading
to muscle weakness. Again, stretching and yoga will alleviate the
stiffness as well as improving your posture. You really want
to be mindful of your posture when you're sitting because

(02:59:35):
poor posture can actually worsen the sciatica. Using your a
lumbar or hip brace for short time periods can provide
you some support, depending upon your activity level. Some of
the complimentary therapies already talked about the chiropractor, but also
acupuncture and massage therapy are extremely useful in man fiatical

(03:00:01):
long term. In terms of a vitamin or supplement, Magnesium
supplements have been found to reduce the muscle tension and
support nerve function. You can take the form of either
magnesium vicinate or magnesium sit trait. Both of these things

(03:00:21):
have been helpful and are vital for healing. You want
to make sure you're seeking a healthcare provider to manage
and be aware of what you're doing. But as Sondra
just said, your only option is certainly not medication this
prescription or surgery. There are a lot of holistic options
because this is something a person would be living with

(03:00:42):
for decades. Thank you for calling cha, all right.

Speaker 1 (03:00:45):
Ten away from the top. I've still got a whole
bunch of folks got I'm trying to get to doctor A.
So if you can shut up on the answers, I'll
appreciate it, Mays online fight calling from Waldorf in Maryland.
May you a question for doctor A? So maybe I
made myself hung up? All right, let's go to line three.
Kevin anonymous, an anonymous us A anonymous anonymous your question

(03:01:09):
for doctor as.

Speaker 30 (03:01:12):
Into the family nationwide? Uh. Given thanks to sister Kathy Hughes,
to your brother Cole and brother Kevin. Yeah, yeah, are
very funny in the morning. And also I want to
give my honors to sister Shirkur. I just walked watched
her documentary yesterday. Very very strong. Sister went through a lot.

(03:01:38):
I thank her for fighting for us.

Speaker 1 (03:01:41):
I was an anonymous. Do it's a favorite say? You
can say that for Friday. I don't want to be
rude you, but we got a bunch of question.

Speaker 30 (03:01:48):
Thank you for being on the uh on today. I
wanted to ask about the talanoor Uh with the autism
and children. Also, I would like to have find someone
close to you that's in the area, and also would
like to have your website and your phone number, and

(03:02:09):
if you can do it a little slower, that would
be good. And I also have shakes in my left
arm and my shoulder and that's it, all right, thanks
an'mous gods.

Speaker 10 (03:02:23):
Okay, So, firstly, thank you so much for your candor,
for your call, for your enthusiasm, for your support, and
for your shout out to the Schola Shacor. To primarily
answer the first question, it's so critical to address the
president's misinformation. I have a godson who is affected by autism.

(03:02:48):
It's critical to know tailanol does not cause autism. There
is no scientific evidence proving that demonstrate I'm rating a
cause of a sex and there's no new science period.
This was a political move. I don't know what his
strategy is, what he's trying to accomplish, but helping people

(03:03:13):
with knowledge is not a part of his strategy. At all.
He's the same man that instructed the public to drink
bleach to cure COVID. So the story that is consistent
with reality is this, many pregnant women experienced fever. Many
newborn and young children under five experienced fever. My godson

(03:03:39):
was born normal, he was meeting all of his milestones.
In the first year of his life, he underwent a
fever and a viral syndrome. His temperature was over one
hundred and two. He underwent three pro seizures and subsequent
to that began to fail meeting his mileth stones. He

(03:04:00):
stopped talking, he stopped responding to his name. His mother
then or sought early intervention at eighteen months, and he
was subsequently diagnosed in New Jersey with autism. So again, many, many,
many children are undergoing viral syndromes and fevers. Many children

(03:04:23):
that are young are undergoing very high fevers. The last
thing we need as a community of black and brown people,
as a community that overwhelmingly doesn't have a private doctor.
We have millions of people that are in poverty. We
have black children that are two hundred percent below the
poverty level. So no, it's not safe to tell the

(03:04:48):
American public that Thailand all causes autism. You will have
a mass of impoverished people with no access to a
personal doctor, that panic and that stop taking the very
thing that can prevent brain damage, that can prevent in
utero fetal damage, malformation, miscarriage, still birth, autism in young

(03:05:16):
children that were otherwise born normal. Kylanol has been instrumental
in preventing all of these consequences. It is the only
safe medication for pain and fever in pregnancy. That's what
the science shows, That's what every single medical society in
America backs up. And the bottom line is, unlike Donald Trump,

(03:05:39):
as a physician, I'm liable for what comes out of
my mouth, okay, and so when you talk about your
word as your bond, that is never more true than
with your physician. Where your physician speaks out in the
doctor's office, they are liable for. So that is trustworthy.
The words of a clown who told you to drink

(03:06:01):
bleach within the past five years, that's not someone that's
worth listening to. I'm so glad that you brought that
up so that we could be clear as a community
about what's happening.

Speaker 20 (03:06:15):
Carl.

Speaker 10 (03:06:15):
How many other callers, can we get in before we
close out?

Speaker 1 (03:06:19):
Let's see, let's try TJ online. Two calling from Miami.
Real quick, TJ. Can you make it quick? Your question
for doctor A.

Speaker 14 (03:06:26):
Yes, sir, all right, good morning.

Speaker 10 (03:06:28):
He comes to information about ozone treatment. About what treatment.

Speaker 9 (03:06:34):
O zone O zone therapy treatment.

Speaker 10 (03:06:39):
O's are therapy treatment O Z O.

Speaker 1 (03:06:42):
N E O zone therapy treatment.

Speaker 10 (03:06:44):
Oh okay, okay, all right, O zone therapy treatment. For
what specifically are we treating? There are many different.

Speaker 6 (03:06:52):
Things inflammation, you know, information, chronic thing.

Speaker 10 (03:07:00):
Okay.

Speaker 13 (03:07:01):
So.

Speaker 10 (03:07:01):
Ozone treatment is something that has been used as an
alternative treatment for a number of different types of pain.
One is knee pain, another one is back pain. Essentially,
the ozone therapy involved injecting a mixture of oxygen and

(03:07:21):
O three into the affected joint, and what's thought to
come about as a result of that therapy is a
reduction in the inflammation and improvement in your circulation, the
stimulation of collagen and of cartilage, and the enhancing of
your body's own antioxidant defenses. So the efficacy of ozone

(03:07:47):
injection into the knee for osteoporosis is still being studied.
But again, this is one of the youthful alternatives that
people who are trying to manage chronic pain, and that's
such a difficult thing. Chronic pain affects your whole lifestyle.

Speaker 1 (03:08:04):
So it's an yeah, we gotta stop the dare talk today.
We just flat out of time. Kevin starting to turn
the lights up in the studio here before we go, though,
how can folks reach you real quick?

Speaker 10 (03:08:15):
So once again, yeah, the sister asks you can reach
me at lifewave dot com. Backslash D R A M
E R S O N.

Speaker 1 (03:08:27):
All right, thank you doctor. Hey, family, class is dismissed
for the day. Stay strong, stay positive. We'll see tomorrow
six o'clock right here in Baltimore on ten ten w
LB and then the d MB on FM ninety five
