June 24th 2025.

going to stay in here long, andwe're going to try to get in and
get out of here.
And today's math is wisdom,culture, wisdom, culture.
And that bonds equality,because we understand wisdom to
be right, discernment, judgment.
And culture is the sum of allhuman activity, of a particular

(02:54):
group or just human beings indifferent parts of the world,
different parts of the country.
Culture it encompasses customs,language, food, cultural, music

(03:14):
, dance.
It gathers all those and puttogether in its culture.
And we put wisdom on top ofthat.
And that that equals equality,homeostasis, balance, harmony
and the such right.

(08:43):
Hold on, let me get back to theboards.
Okay, yeah, so, but when I leftyou last, there was a couple of
things that was on the plate andwe didn't get to get to it, and
we're going to touch on some ofthose things, but what I want
to do, what I want to do realquick, is is recap my experience

(09:06):
at the Juneteenth celebrationhere in Brooklyn.
Oh man, it was, it was, it was.
I couldn't believe it.
I've never went to a Juneteenthcelebration or or an exurbance,

(09:32):
as I think the proper way toput it to you know, you know it
was.
It was a celebration, of course, but to me it's more of it
would be more of of observingthe and reflecting on on on that
pivotal point in history, onthat pivotal point in history,
right, so?
But I went to this thing, right, I was told about it cause I
didn't know about it.
I was told by a good friend ofmine and my man, you know,

(09:54):
salute to my man, mike, mikeMcCray.
He said, yeah, man, you knowthey're going to have this thing
up there Highland park.
So you know thing up thereHighland Park, so you know you
want to go.
I was like, hey, you know.
So I said, okay, fine, we went,and I procrastinated most of
the day because I really didn'twant to go, so we got there.
We got there must have beenaround four o'clock, something

(10:16):
like that 3, 34 o'clock.
You, I wish we went earlier,man, when I tell you we got out
there, the Freedmen, fba was outthere, family, they was out
there and I wasn't man andsalute to the Freedmen, salute

(10:37):
to the Freedmen.
And they was out there thinkingin peanut butter, thinking in
that government-issued peanutbutter, thinking in that
government issued peanut butter.
It was beautiful.
All those beautiful sisters andchildren and brothers is out
there and it was hardly noparking.
People was double and triplepark on the street and then the

(10:59):
parking lot for the place youcould.
There was no parking.
There was a traffic jam in theparking lot and they had tents
out there, they had music, theyhad food.
It was just.
It was a beautiful thing.
And I'm going next year and andI'm gonna, I'm gonna do a media
tent out there.
I'm gonna do that.

(11:20):
I'm, we're gonna, we're gonnabe rocking next year.
We're gonna rock and we'regonna to be rocking next year.
We're going to rock and we'regoing to promote that thing.
I'm going to find out who arethe sponsors and the people that
the organizers of it, and I'mgoing to put a.
I'm going to ask them.
You know, can I put a mediatent out there?
And I'm going to be, you know,promoting it on my platforms.

(11:46):
I'm going to be promoting itand we're going to try to get
more people.
There were so many people outthere and you didn't see no
Caribbean flags, you didn't seeno red, black and green colors
and all it was straight upfoundational freedmen out there.
Now, we left there for a secondand we went on the other side

(12:07):
of town because there was athing going on that this young
lady invited me to, and we gotover there.
It wasn't really hitting onnothing and we came back to the
park.
But this is the thing, the skyopened up and it rained.
It really rained, but it didn'tmatter because those people,
the tents was out there andthose people stayed out there.

(12:27):
When I tell you, the rain camedown, it was came.
It came down both times that wewent up to the park both times,
but nonetheless, people werestill out there and it was a
beautiful thing.
It was beautiful and I'm goingto really promote that for next
year and try to get more peopleout there.
And, like I said, I want to.

(12:48):
I want to talk to theorganizers to see if I can get a
media tent out there and wejust do a live.
We just do a big old live outthere and talk to the people.
Just have the people come upand talk and just, you know,
have a good time out there.
Yeah, that's what it was about.
And also I wanted to.

(13:09):
Now you got people, of course.
You got some black folks that,oh, they don't like Juneteenth
and shouldn't be celebratingJuneteenth because that's not
patriotic.
And these are black people.
You know, I don't want to sayno names.
Yeah, well, I'm going to saythe tight suit wearing dude, the

(13:32):
Vince Ellison guy, he made somecomments about it and yeah, you
know, you wait for somebody togive you your freedom and you
know, just, it's always aboutpunching down at black folks and
I don't like that because Idon't.
I don't.
Let me say this I don't careabout the federal holiday, part

(13:54):
of it I really don't.
My thing is, is it could be nowpeople celebrating Juneteenth
in the state of Texas, down inLouisiana and places like that.
They've been, they've beencelebrating Juneteenth for
decades, decades.
It's nothing new to me becauseI recently, in the last 10 years

(14:17):
, found out about Juneteenth inthe last about 10 years or so,
because I didn't know nothingabout it and I never went to a
celebration, but I did go.
Just the first time I went andI enjoyed it.
Now I don't care about.
It's a federal holiday andpeople got the day.
I don't care about that.
And I want us to Friedman, Iwant us to get in the habit of

(14:44):
even though it's too late now.
It's a federal holiday and it'san observance on the federal
level, but we don't care aboutthat.
We care about what.
If we want to make up a day tocelebrate, say, somebody like a
Malcolm X, that's what we decideto do.
We don't wait for you todictate to us, for nobody to

(15:06):
dictate to us what we celebrate,who, when and where.
And I got to tell you.
I got to tell you that Irespect the Irish community
because St Paddy's Day is not afederal recognized holiday.
It's not.
But let me tell you this theyhave that big parade in

(15:27):
Manhattan and most of the timeit falls on a weekday, right,
they have that big parade goingup Fifth Avenue, from Central
Park all the way up to, I think,86th Street.
I think 86th Street, and peoplebe all over the city Manhattan,

(15:49):
even in the outer boroughs,brooklyn.
They be celebrating in thoselittle pubs out in Greenpoint,
brooklyn, because you got someIrish folks over there, and they
all over Manhattan.
They just be all over MidtownManhattan, upper West Side, east

(16:10):
Side, midtown, downtown,chelsea, all those bars and
stuff packed with people, irishpeople and them.
People are getting drunk andpartying and doing what they do,
and it's not even a federalholiday.
They not thinking about, oh, Igot to go to work the next day,
or it's a work day, federalholiday.
They're not thinking about, oh,I got to go to work the next
day, or it's a work day, I can'ttake off.
They're not thinking that'spowerful, right there?

(16:30):
Same thing with the Jewishcommunity, right, same thing
with the Jewish community.
They have their differentobservances Yom Kippur, even
though Yom Kippur, even thoughYom Kippur, I think Yom Kippur
is a federal holiday, but theother holidays.

(16:50):
Now, the reason why I'm bringingthis up?
Because I heard Jason Blanktalking about it and it struck
me right Because, as contentcreators, or I don't consider
myself that those guys arecontent creators, or or I don't
consider myself that those guysare content creators.
I'm just a, a, um, what theycall us a commentator, a react

(17:15):
reactor, re-reaction commentator.
If you want to call me acontent creator, fine, fine, I
just try to bring.
When I get information or getthings, I try to come up here
and bring it to you but theequipment that we use.
There's a place that I frequentin Manhattan, b&h, and they're

(17:39):
good with audio video equipmentand cameras and different things
like that, and I do a lot ofbusiness with them.
You know those planes are goingby, so I apologize for that.
Like I said, we got the windowsopen but yeah, so, but that's,
that is a.
Those people are Orthodox Jewsthat that run that place, that

(18:00):
they're the owners and they runthat place.
That run that place, thatthey're the owners and they run
that place.
Now, when their holidays comeup, when you go on their website
, they'll put the banners upthere and they will tell you it
may be a week ahead of time, ortwo weeks ahead of time, or a
month or sometime.
They'll put the banners andtell you the store will be
closed on such and such date.
From this date to two, know two, three days or whatever,

(18:24):
however long the observance oftheir holiday may be, that's how
long the store will be closed.
Not only that, not only that,though, you can't even go on the
website and order nothing,because the website is shut down
.
Is that, see what I'm trying tosay?
Family, that's power rightthere, and a lot of those

(18:46):
holidays and I think yom kippuris is uh like a federal thing, I
think yom kippur, but the restof those observances and they,
they have.
They have those things prettyoften a few times a year.
They shut it all down.
They don't wait.
You can't even go on thewebsite, right.

(19:08):
You can't go on the website andorder nothing, because the web
not not just the store itself,the physical store the website
where you can go online andorder things and pre-order stuff
you can't even do that.
They shut the website down,right.
That's power, right there.
And this is this is where we gotto be at same thing with the uh

(19:31):
, um, well, I wouldn't say theasians, but the asians, you know
they do their thing too.
But really we could take a note.
I would like us to start takingnotes from the Jewish community
and understanding that that'spower right there.
That is.
That is a sure sign of power.

(19:52):
You don't have to wait fornobody to give you a day off
work in order for you to observeand celebrate the things that
mean something to our community.
Now, we can't get crazy with itnow, and every other week we're

(20:13):
taking off from work and stufflike that to have these
celebrations, but for the veryiconic historic things that were
very pivotal to our historyhere in America.
I think we should observe thosethings.
I think we should.
Juneteenth shouldn't be theonly thing we should have.
You know well, dr King is afederally recognized holiday,

(20:37):
but we should have one or twomore where we just shut
everything down and we payhomage to that.
We get into that for that day.
Now, now, now it's even betterwhen these things fall, these
observances fall when thechildren are out of school and

(21:00):
maybe it's the weekend andpeople, a lot of people, got
time off from their places ofwork or their places of business
or whatever the case might be.
But what I'm saying is that'spower right there, when you're
able to do that and not worryingabout oh, I got to go to work.
You know how some of us are man, I can't take yo, I got to pay

(21:21):
this bill.
I can't take no days off thisbill.
Um, I can't take no days off.
I gotta go to work.
Man, I mean, good grief, man,go to work a half a day and go
home sick or something, whoknows, ain't nobody.
The guts of what I'm saying isuntil you serious about yourself

(21:49):
.
Other people ain't gonna takeyou serious and they know that
we waiting for a holiday forthem to.
I don't need recognition fromthe dominant society or the
clears to tell me what'simportant to me.
I wouldn't care if Juneteenthfell on a Monday.
I'm going to the observance, Idon't care about the day off,

(22:17):
and that's where we got to getand I think we're getting there
Now.
On the flip side of that coin, Iwas looking at the other day, I
was looking at some other day,I was looking at some of the um
other places here in brooklynthat had the observance of
juneteenth and it broke my heartbecause the weeksville heritage
center you know that's theplace and I did it.
I did a a little story on them.

(22:40):
You know I filmed, I went upthere and filmed and everything
like that, and I did a littlelittle short story on them that
I'm gonna premiere it on YouTubeat some point, but that's
another story.
But anyway, I went they theyhad something on it on online
where they had the observanceover there.
But when I looked at it, man,they had uh, tents out there,

(23:02):
people selling food and stufflike that.
There's some music out there,but I've seen about four or five
tents with jamaican, this,jamaican, that jamaican, this,
uh, the island, this, this islike and this was the talk, uh,
since last week ago that peoplewere complaining about that.
You know, know, they come inwith these red, black and green

(23:25):
colors for Juneteenth.
Juneteenth the official flagfor Juneteenth is is red, white,
blue and With the star, thestar in the middle and the fists
right.
That's Juneteenth.
Yeah, that's Juneteenth.
So we don't care about all that.

(23:46):
You know you got people fromother countries and cultures.
They got the yellow, green,black and a flag on it, the
Jamaican flag, and all thisstuff.
We don't bother people withtheir cultural events.

(24:07):
I don't go to the Caribbean DayParade anymore.
It's just too many people forme.
I used to go many years ago.
I used to go and you know yougo out there and women walking
around and they with no clotheson and just basically twerking,
and you go out there to look atthat, get you a piece of jerk

(24:27):
chicken or something and dance.
You know, get your little drinkon or your smoke on, whatever
you do, and that's that's whatwe used to do, because you know
you got there's so many womenwould be out there.
But you don't go out theretrying to crowbar your way into
their culture.
That's their thing.
So what we're saying is that'sour thing.

(24:49):
Juneteenth is not about you,it's about us.
Why do you have to hijack it?
Now you're out there.
I guess it was people sellingtheir food and stuff, like I
just didn't like that.
And that's the weakfieldweeksville heritage center.
That's that.
That was uh, one of the firstuh, freedman black town villages

(25:10):
here in new york city, in theboroughs here.
And then that that wasweeksville.
They had a the torchlight paperand all of that.
And that was Wheatville.
They had the torchlight paperand all of that and that was a
freedman's society there andthat was about our heritage and
it had nothing to do with noCaribbeanist.

(25:30):
And you know people will takewhat I'm saying right now oh he
hating on the Caribbean.
No, it's not that.
We don't bother your stuff,leave our stuff alone, stop
trying to crowbar your way intoour thing, and that's all I'm
saying.
There's no hate, I love, we gotlove for our Caribbean family.

(25:51):
Those are our cousins, thoseare our distant cousins.
Like it or not, they're ourdistant cousins and we got love
for them.
Whether it's reciprocal or not,we got genuine love for them.
We really do.
But what else we got?
What else we got here family,what else we got here?

(26:12):
Yeah, so next year, highlandPark family for all of you
listening here in New York City.
Next year, highland Park familyFor all of you listening here
in New York City.
Next year, highland Park forJuneteenth.
That's where it's going down atand you know we right now we may

(26:33):
be faced with some real seriousstuff here going on across
waters.
The US has now gotten involvedin it and that is the conflict
with Israel and Iran.
As you heard unless you've beenin a cave somewhere hiding
under some rocks US on June 22nd, the US sent airstrikes over

(26:57):
there to their nuclearsupposedly their nuclear
facilities.
From what I'm understanding,they didn't really get anything.
Hold on, let me see.
Let me see if I can get alittle bit of that.
Can I get a little bit of that?
Hold on, yeah, hold on, let mesee.
Can I pull that up in here?
Okay, yeah, hold on, let me see, can I pull that up in here.

(27:18):
Okay, yeah, that was on June22nd.
That was June 22nd when thathappened.
And yeah, let's get the report.
Let's see Can we get a littlebit of the report in here.
Give me a second.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
Let's now switch to Israel.
Go to our chief foreigncorrespondent, trey Yanksy.
He's live in Tel Aviv with thelatest, not only from Israel,
but what do you make of the factthat this appeared to be a
pretty limited response, trey?
Yeah, john, good afternoon.
We're getting more informationfrom regional sources right now
on this Iranian attack targetingthe Al-Alyudh air base just

(27:55):
outside of Doha, qatar.
The latest information that wehave, according to the Qatari
foreign ministry, they say thesemissiles were intercepted over
the Qatari capital of Doha.
They say there are no injurieson the ground and the Qataris
are condemning this attacklaunched by Iran.
This is significant but notunexpected.
The distance between Qatar andIran is just over 100 nautical

(28:18):
miles and this is a large base,the largest American base in the
region, and it had largely beenevacuated.
According to one source that wespoke with before this attack
took place, the Americansunderstood that Qatar, kuwait
and Bahrain could be on the toptarget list for the Iranians in
any sort of response.
Ukraine could be on the toptarget list for the Iranians in

(28:39):
any sort of response followingthose strikes that were ordered
by President Trump to go afterIranian nuclear facilities over
the weekend.
We're working to get someconfirmation about reports that
American bases in Iraq may havebeen targeted, but again, the
information that we have aboutthe Gulf is significant.
There are air defense systemsin Qatar, both the THAAD missile
defense system and the Patriotsystem, and according to some

(29:00):
initial video that we reviewedfrom sources in Doha, it looks
like, if not all, but themajority of these incoming
missiles were shot down overhead.
In terms of what led up to this, we know.
Earlier today the US embassy inDoha sent out an alert to
American citizens in Qatar toshelter in place.
Shortly after that, theairspace over this country was

(29:22):
closed.
You could see on flight radarmaps a number of flights
diverting to other regionalairports and again that
condemnation coming in from theQataris.
We're also monitoring Iranianstate media at this hour, who
says that they launched thisattack, calling it the
annunciation of victory.
Iranian state media also sayingtheir military says this was a
devastating and powerful attack.

(29:44):
This is not unexpectedpropaganda to receive from the
regime in Tehran, but again anindication that the Iranians are
looking to save face followingthis US strike that went after
their nuclear facilities overthe weekend.
Other regional countries,including Kuwait, bahrain and
the UAE, do remain on high alertat this hour over concern that

(30:05):
there could be further attackson US interests in the region.
Of course, the Fifth Fleet inBahrain.
There are also thousands ofAmerican forces in Kuwait, and
then the possibility that Iraqcould be targeted as well.
I can take you back to 2020,when the Americans ordered that
drone strike against QasemSoleimani outside of Baghdad's
international airport.
The Iranians responded thenwith 13 ballistic missiles

(30:28):
against the Ain al-Assad airbasein western Iraq, and so, of
course, missile defense systemsacross the region remain on high
alert.
Again, the Americans knew thiswas a possibility and largely
evacuated much of theirpersonnel from these areas.
John Sandra.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
All right, Just going through the Qatar response here
.
Qatar is saying it reserves theright to respond after this
Iranian attack, as John justreported.
Qatar is saying no casualtiesfrom that attack at the US
military base, Thank goodness.
And the top security body there, Iran's top security body there
, is saying armed forces usedthe same number of bombs that

(31:02):
the US had used in attackingIran's nuclear facilities.
That is per the lateststatement that we've been
digesting.
Trey, Please do weigh in onthat, as John and I were just
discussing is what we're seeing?
Is this evidence of diminishedcapabilities on the part of Iran
?

Speaker 5 (31:21):
Look, the types of missiles that the Iranians are
likely using against Americaninterests in Qatar, as Jennifer
noted, are some from theirshorter range arsenal cruise
missiles or possibly mediumrange ballistic missiles, but
not the same missiles that theywere using over the past 11 days
to target major Israelipopulation centers.
A Qatari source just sending meanother statement that I do

(31:43):
want to just read here live froma spokesman for Qatar's foreign
minister saying we reaffirmthat dialogue is the only way to
overcome the current crisis andensure the security in the
region and the peace of itspeople remains.
And so the Qataris still amidall of this encouraging
diplomacy and dialogue in theregion.
They have been one of theleaders in the Middle East over

(32:06):
the past more than 600 daystrying to de-escalate regional
tension, bring all parties tothe table and ultimately find
some sort of off-ramp, aceasefire agreement or at least
temporary understandings.
But as this war developsbetween Israel and Iran, there
is concern.
That sort of off-ramp, aceasefire agreement or at least
a temporary understanding.
But as this war developsbetween Israel and Iran, there
is concern that this couldspiral and continue, because we

(32:26):
heard from President Trumpdirectly.
We heard from the Secretary ofDefense, pete Hegseth, that any
attack on American interests inthe region would be met with a
response.
Everyone, from Americanofficials to current and former
Israeli officials, warned Iranagainst such an attack taking
place Now.
While this is limited in nature, it certainly does bring this
entire conflict into a newchapter and raises questions

(32:47):
about how the Americans mightrespond to this direct attack on
their largest military base inthe Middle East.
This is a base that normallyhouses around 10,000 US
personnel.
We have reported from theAl-Aldaid base just outside of
Doha.
It's about a 30-minute drivefrom the US embassy in the
Qatari capital, and it's a placewhere there is a lot of

(33:07):
coordination for US CentralCommand.
You might remember back in 2021, when those evacuation flights
were taking place, many of themwere landing from Kabul,
afghanistan, to Doha, qatar, atthis air base, and so it's a
base that was built in the late90s.
It cost around a billiondollars to build and it is still
owned by the Qataris, but it isagain the largest American base

(33:28):
in the region and there isclose coordination for US
Central Command done out of thisbase.
It was largely evacuated beforethis took place and, again,
according to a spokesman forQatar's foreign ministry, no one
was injured in this missilestrike launched by Iran.
But again this shows that theIranians are willing to respond
directly to American interests.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
Let me.
Let me pause it right there,because what it seems to me at
the moment that there's a lot ofa lot of gesturing, a lot of
posturing going on.
Now what I will say is this Ihope this thing doesn't escalate
any further now, as this, thisreport was yesterday, yesterday,

(34:09):
late yesterday evening oryesterday afternoon when this
report came out, that they, um,you know, with these airstrikes
at these, these, um, american,uh military bases out there
right now, you heard what thereporter said, that that trump
will be said, that they, thatany attack on american interests

(34:30):
will be met with aggression.
Now you sent an airstrike overthere.
You didn't get the nuclearstrongholds that you are pumping
your chest about.
And I had a conversation.
You know.
Salute to my man Wines from theARP, the Righteous Perspective,

(34:52):
good brother there.
Y'all go check him out onYouTube.
He comes on every morning about930 Eastern Time.
Good brother man.
Good, I like his stuff.
But me and him had a longconversation.
We're on opposing sides as faras world views and the way we
see things and beliefs and stufflike that, but a very good
brother man, always have verymeaningful dialogue with him.

(35:14):
Y'all go check him out overthere.
I've been on his show a coupletimes as a as a guest panelist.
Um, y'all can check some ofthose shows, some of those uh
episodes out and uh, we had along conversation about this and
I I'm telling him that that Idon't.
This is not like Iraq orAfghanistan.

(35:36):
This is something, somethingdifferent.
Now, you know people, you havevery arrogant people talking
about you know we'll just blowthem out the water and destroy
them.
No, no.
Those people there's 98 millionpeople in that country, in Iraq.
You can't, you're not going tojust destroy them like that.

(35:56):
This is not what a lot ofpeople thinking.
This is that this is some daysome push over people, push over
punks.
It's not like that.
Not saying that that Americahas the capability to to squash
them in the grand scheme ofthings, but what?
At what cost?
Let me share something.

(36:17):
Hold on just a second.
Let me bring this in here.
Hold on, Give me one second.
I want you to hear something.

Speaker 6 (36:23):
It's going to happen here on US soil the potential
threat of Iranian sleeper cells.
We've talked about the openborder.
The last four years Take a lookat this data CBP sources
telling Fox News from 2021 to2024, under the Biden
administration, just over 1,500Iranians were caught by Border
Patrol crossing the southernborder illegally.
Of that, almost half of them729, were released into the US.

(36:47):
That is 48 percent.
That also does not account forthe more than two million known
gotaways who slipped across thesouthern border during that time
.

Speaker 4 (36:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Yeah.
So you see, it's not, it's notgoing to be a cake walk in the
park.
You ain't gonna just bewhistling and walking through
the park with this.
So now they, as of yes,yesterday they trump was uh
saying that there's a ceasefirebetween israel and iran, and
then some people in the in theiranian parliament were saying
they don't know nothing about it, about no ceasefire.

(37:18):
But so you know, the world ison edge with this thing because
if it goes down, if it goes down, it's going to be hell to pay
for this on all sides.
It ain't going to be no Americajust going to press a button
and wipe iran off the map andthey go family.

(37:39):
I'm telling y'all this is avery capable military.
United states is very capable.
I'm not sitting up here cappingand putting the cape on for,
for iran or none of that stufflike that, but what I'm telling
you is this is not iraq orafghan.
This is something totallydifferent.

(38:00):
That said, we're going to getready to get out of here, but
before we do that, we're goingto got to talk about old fat Joe
Zimpik.
Old fat Joe Zimpik has gottenhimself in some more, some more
a wee bit of trouble there withsome sexual allegations and from
what I'm all reports what I'mgetting, it's very serious.

(38:24):
One of his hype men, ta, thelegend TA, has hit him with some
kind of $20 million suitindicating some sexual he done
some sexual assaults or someunderage girls or what.
What have you see?
It's been going downhill forthis dude ever since he, he um,

(38:46):

fba thing, calling us brokeniggas and this and that and
running his mouth.
He got canceled from bt and andsome of the endorsements.
