Investigate Earth Conspiracy Podcast - BLM Black Lives Matter Conspiracy with Special Guest

Episode Date: February 11, 2022

Was the Black Lives Matter movement one big conspiracy to cause civil unrest in the country? Was this a ploy to start a civil war? We talk about all of that and more on this episode of BLM Black Lives Matter Conspiracy.

Hello, hello, and welcome to Investigate Earth Podcast. I'm your host, Chad, alongside my beautiful wife, Sherry. Say hello to the people, Sherry. Hello to the people. Hope everyone is doing fabulous this evening. Yes, guys. I hope all of you are doing great. Sit down, get your popcorn, get a blanket, and get ready for this one.

Yeah, this is a popcorn night, I guess. It is. So this is the Black Lives' Month. Matter podcast. We are officially finally doing this. And man, there's going to be so much. We're probably going to have two episodes to two to three episodes on this because there's a lot to unpack and we've got special guests on each episode. So we do have a special guest tonight by the name of Al. And Al is a guy that he's been a listener of ours for quite a while. and I've communicated back and forth with Al and, you know, over the course of months.

And so he's kind of followed our podcast. He's listened to what we've had to say on many different topics. But last night, I finally got an opportunity to talk to Al for an extended amount of time. And, man, we hit it off amazingly well. And by the way, Al is black. Al is black. And we just talked about everything last night forever. I mean, it was a long conversation.

And so I told, I asked Alice, and would you please come on our first episode of the Black Lives Matter series? So he agreed, so he's going to be on here. And he's just a good old American-loving Texas Libertarian is essentially what he is, but he happens to be black. And so I wanted to get his opinion on Black Lives Matter. We're also going to talk about, you know, everything,

about this entire movement. Is it a movement? Is it a movement? Is it a funded political, agenda. Is Soros involved in this? Because guess what? Many people believe he is.

He's actually funneled a shit ton of money to Black Lives Matter. And then we're also going to talk about where did the money go that has been raised by Black Lives Matter and did that money and their entire movement, did it help, did they use that money to help anyone that is black? And so we're going to talk about all those things. And we're going to dive into it because look, This is a touchy subject.

Now, let me say this on episode two. It just so happens that, and look, guys, we're going to be completely transparent with you. We always have been. We don't say anything on this podcast, to my knowledge anyway. I mean, I always try, you know, with the Joe Rogan thing and him saying the N-word quite a few times. You know, that's just like stuff like that. I understand Joe's sorry. And I get he was saying it, you know, in context.

explaining someone else saying it or whatever we've talked about that on the previous podcast however you know I also would never say that word you know like you just just come on here and start saying in in yeah the end context that is not right to say do yeah exactly I mean even even that I mean we've mentioned before that when we were talking about the Kyle Rittinghouse case and literally saying word for word what the defense team was arguing about Rosenbaum and what he was going around saying that night, you know, we had to say, I felt like, we had to say the word to get the point across. Get the point across and translate it.

But anyway, so we're going to talk about this. So anyways, on night two, we haven't, I haven't had a guy that, that message us last night. He is a fan of our podcast. So, you know, it's not like, you know, the only reason I would have invited him on is, you know. Because he is a listener. Yeah, he is a listener. That's the only way we know him. Yeah, he's a listener.

He has commented before. Actually, I think you said, can you guys get back to aliens and shit? Like, and so I was like, okay. I was like, we're going to get back to that. And we've done some of those. And, but we did get a message last night from him that, and I don't know, I mean, I don't know if he cares if I read it word for word, but I probably will. I mean, I would just wait until he comes on. But anyways, the second night, we're going to have a.

Another. Viewpoint. He's also a black guy. Yeah, he's a black guy. And he's going to come on Friday night. Yeah, I believe he's a rapper. He's, uh, I think he might be originally from Chicago. He lives in St. Louis, Missouri now.

Um, but either way, uh, we're, we're going to have him on because, you know, in his message that he message us last night. And, and I said, well, you know what? You're actually perfect timing because since you message us that, we are about to start a Black Lives Matter series. And we would like to have your viewpoint, too. because look, tonight we have Al on and we talked to Al, or I talked to Al mostly last night, and we connected on so many different levels just as people. And this is what I've always done my entire life. And it has not do with color.

It has nothing to do with any of that stuff. It just has to do with like, hey, we love America. We love freedoms. We love our Constitution. You know, he likes to do jeeping stuff and going out and just doing, you know, the stuff. I mean, he's from Texas, man. having fun. Yeah.

If you're in Texas, you're going to like doing outdoor stuff. But man, the thing about Alice, he's so deep. He was, he's highly intellectual. He knows what he wants. And, you know, he's been through his shit. And he'll probably mention that as well. But he has a little different viewpoint probably on this subject than our guest tomorrow night. And that's the least what I'm taken from knowing what our guest tomorrow night messages last night.

and then my conversation with Al. But keep in mind, even still, when this guy messaged me that last night, and look, number one, and I'm sure you're listening, I appreciate you saying what you feel, and I also appreciate you saying, look, this is an issue I have with what you guys talk about, but I also enjoy your podcast, and I'm listening, right?

Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool. Yeah. So, and I'm like, look, man, how about this? How about you come on our podcast on the second episode of Black Lives Matter, and we'll get your take on your, opinion because you know what he said in the note to us was essentially kind of like we may in his mind I guess have been insensitive in some way to whether it be the black culture and

because we're white I guess somewhat that we we can't speak on it is it's kind of essentially what he said and he also said you know that from what from what I gathered is like we don't understand what he's grown up in, in the streets, or what, what, what, it's kind of the way I took it. Right. Right. And we've got to just kind of leave it at that and let him come on. So yeah. So there's two different sides of this. Yeah. And, and, and they're both black, but there's two completely varying opinions. And by the way, I actually don't know Al's complete opinion on this. Because when I, when I told Al last night, I was like, I think you should

come on our, on our Black Lives Matter thing. I didn't want to ask him too, too much about Black Lives Matter because I wanted I want to get his opinion now I mean honestly Al might come on and say hey I support it right and I'm like great I know probably tomorrow night's guest is going to be opposite on on some things with us but and I think when we talked last night with the guests that's coming on tomorrow night you know it was it was a mutual respect mutual understanding thing and I said look I want you to come on and voice your opinion you know I want you to say whatever it is that you think we're not saying And I think that's essentially what his point was and his message was, I don't think you guys are saying the right thing necessarily based on my experience, right? And so I was like, okay, well, come on our podcast and you say it. I mean, you know, that's the best way we can do it. Exactly. And I mean, this is such a hard subject to touch on, but it's very important to touch on that.

Yeah, and by the way, this podcast is mostly going to be. about the Black Lives Matter organization. Right. Itself. Yes. But I do know we're going to get off on... We'll get off on tangents and talk about, you know, because obviously people are raised and grown up in different areas of the world or even in America.

So, you know, all of our upbringings are going to be way different from each other. Some are the same and some are different. But I think that, you know, that also plays a huge role in differences of opinions sometimes. No, it absolutely does. And by the way, guys, before we get too deep into this, we're about to bring Al on in just a second. But for those of you, it's kind of funny, some of you are starting to follow us on Twitter, even though I said I'm just there to talk shit. So, but whatever, you can follow us there. And I appreciate the messages that you guys are sending.

I'm responding to some of you. I'm trying to respond to that. But yeah, I'm not really, we're not really on Twitter. I mean, I don't know. I've kind of actually somewhat posted a couple of things the past. On a timeline, I'm like, oh, God. Yeah, well, and like I was saying the other night, I was like, I don't even know how to use Twitter. I don't get Twitter.

Like, you retweet things. I don't, you know, I just don't get it. And I mean, I don't even understand really the purpose. Because when I get on Twitter, it's like you have the main message. And then everybody's retweeting it and you see the main message, main message, may message. And then it's like, I don't know. It's just not as easy to follow as Facebook, in my opinion. No, it's hard.

And what was that other platform that not too long ago was before Rumble that came out? Are you talking about what are you talking about? Another platform? Yeah, it was the one before Rumble. And it was like a Twitter kind of platform more. Oh, you're talking about Parlor. Yeah, parlor. That was the same way.

And I got on that thing for like a day. I'm like, oh my gosh, forget that. I can't even attempt to try it because I just, you know, I guess I'm almost like a little bit of a dinosaur when comes to all technology. I think I'm pretty intelligent with most, but I've just never, like, really dove into Twitter unless I had to take a call. Yeah, don't worry. It's a cesspool of just.

Yeah, but I did take a college course when part of my college course was I had to get on there and, you know, try to figure out how to retweet things and stuff. Yeah, yeah. Well, guys, so without further ado, by the way, follow us on Facebook, follow us on Instagram, follow us on all those platforms, Gitter. We're on Gitter. we are in the last stages of building our premium platform for our people that want to support us. And also, if we ever get banned, we'll also be there no matter what.

And that'll be free. We're always going to release these episodes like we always are. But we're also going to do take a step further and release premium content for the people that want to support us. I mean, we feel like we got to do something extra for those people that really truly do want to support us. So let's bring Al on. Al, welcome to the show. Are you with us? Can you hear us?

I am here. How are y'all doing from Texas? Hey, Al. It's good to hear from you. Hear your voice again. Glad to be on. Sherry went to sleep a little over last night. I went to sleep.

Like, I was in bed by nine, I think. Well, Al and Chad. While Al and Chad were talking. Oh, yeah. So, Al, yeah, we talked a while. I don't know if you've listened to the beginning of this or not of this show. We've been on for about 12 minutes. But I'm just, I was kind of explaining what we're,

going to do with this with this series i call it a series it may be two episodes and maybe three but the black lives matter thing is obviously we have not done this for many reasons we've not done this particular subject not just because it's the black lives matter thing but we've not done things that are sensitive topics but um i mean well in some ways that doesn't affect all of us like nine 11th is another one you know now 11 is going to affect everybody not just it's going to affect the whole, you know. And we've stayed far away from Sandy Hook. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Because I ain't getting sued for multimillions of dollars. Even though, even though, you know, I don't believe there's craziness there. But so, Al, I explained to our listeners that we talked last night. You've been a listener of ours for a while, I guess. I mean, you've listened to quite a few episodes. You're a black guy.

And we talked last night for, I don't know, freaking two hours probably. I don't know exactly how long. And normally we would not identify Al as a black guy. No, but we have to in this podcast. That's why we're doing that. All right. So sorry, Al. So we talked for a couple hours.

And I felt like we connected pretty well. I mean, regardless of anything else. So tell us a little bit about you're from Texas, right? Yes, sir. Have you always been in Texas? Yes, I've always been in Texas. originally from East Texas, close to Louisiana. But yeah, I'm born in Texas, Texas raised.

Okay, so... Sorry, Jerry. Just go ahead. Just give us a little bit about your, maybe your upbringing a little bit and, you know... Yeah, what was your life like growing up? Yeah. Oh, okay, let's see. My life, man, really, I didn't have a bad life, but, you know, my mom, she took care of me.

my sister and I grew up around predominantly Caucasians and I had a couple of black friends but I fit in more with the Caucasian community and we had we just connected and everybody loved my mom my mom worked in the medical field for for a while and so we just man we just had a good time growing up and meeting new people and just so it did so did you mostly have out with whites because of that was all that was available or? No. No, it's just the fact, you know, I had my mom raised me to have an open mind about doing things as a kid, you know. Yeah.

Because growing up, I did, like, I rode horses with some family members and did all, I wanted to learn new things and see the outside life besides of what, you know, what the black community does. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, my mom says, I always say, always. have an open mind about life. Mm-hmm. And just enjoy your people around you and embrace them.

And, man, like I tell you, like I said, a lot of my friends were like, most of them blacker than me, man. To be honest with you. All right. So did you ever experience racism? I mean, like growing up and stuff? I mean, is that something that, you know, was your family ever? I mean, I would maybe, I guess, somewhere down the line you might have, uh, you might have, uh,

you know, ancestors that were part of slavery and that stuff, but, like, kind of what is your, you know, were you ever, did you ever have an experience where you felt like someone was intentionally being racist towards you as a black guy? Honestly, as a child, no, it's only when as I got older and to be honest with you guys, it came from my own race, honestly, because I was different. I didn't like what they do. I really want to go out and just be who I was

and find myself as a character. That's awesome, yeah. So why do you think they went against you? I mean, is, I mean, like, what was it that you were doing differently than say they were? Like, one, I wasn't going out, party and having fun with them, like,

with that kind of fun. My kind of fun was going out, doing backwood things, riding four wheels, dirt bikes, bonfires, like, some of my black fans that I had, they wanted to party, smoke, and drink. I'm like, nah, that's not me. I'd rather go out in the mud to get dirty

and have fun with people, you know, just get the forward to, get the forward, get the forward and stuck in the pond and stuff like that, you know, and ride horses and how fun, you know. Yeah, that shit is fun. Yeah, generally talk to people and it will not be in a situation where I can get myself in trouble.

Hey, chat and Al, I just want to tell you a quick story. story about my friend that is a teacher and she was this a quick story shit don't roll your eyes i just want to take because i thought it was so funny and it reminds me of al so you know february is black history month so of course teachers are teaching about black history month so i think my friend i can't remember what she said she was reading i think it was ruby bridges or um harriet tum and i'm not sure which which person of you know african-american descent but anyways after the story she's like well how would you like if you can you know play with your friends because they're a different

color or blah blah blah and then she said the kids started looking around and started counting the kids with dark skin or whatever and then they pointed to this little girl and little girl looked at it she's like i'm black i didn't even know i was black they don't they don't have any idea about color when they're younger they just you know they love each other for who they are it doesn't matter what their skin color is. You know, they just all are friends. And it's not until people get older is when, unless I guess they have families that are racist. But, you know, kids that are in a racist household, they don't know color like in first grade.

And by the way, even that, you know, somehow you were saying is, you know, you grew up around a lot of white people. And so, you know, regardless, I mean, do you think like your love for outdoors and stuff like, did it? Was it ever, like, influenced by the people that you grew up around or that you hung out with, like the whites that love the outdoor type, you know, mud and all that stuff? Do you think that was an influence because you grew up around them? Al? We may have lost Al. Can you guys hear me? Yeah, I can hear you now.

Okay. That was weird. But do you feel like, like, the fact that you like the outdoor stuff, that is it because you think you grew up around white people? or you had more friends or white people or is that just something that you loved from an early age?

I loved the outdoors from an early age because I was in Cups Cout and so it wasn't a lot of black guys doing it and as I grew a bond with my friends who were mostly white

and Cubs Couts oh man it just brought a whole new picture to my horizon white like going out and camping having something I never would thought of doing it when I was younger.

Because, you know, in the black community, they tell you you need to live this way or live this one way. But if you have a parent that's willing to set you up for a better horizon, they would always tell you to have that open mind, you know, to try new things. Go out and do this, go out and do that. And then if it's something that you don't like, you know what to revert back to if you don't like that.

Now, did you have a dad and a mom in the household if you don't mind me asking? my dad he was in and out but my mom she was there she was like yeah she was like pretty much

I rock and then my stepdad he was there but at the time I was you know trying to figure out who I was

and I wanted my biological dad around yeah and so we always kind of bumped heads or didn't see out of out on things

and then my mom raised me and my sister and I can say that that's one strong one right there no I don't I don't doubt it, man.

Raising guys, especially. Oh, my God. I mean, but girls are tough, too, because, I mean, who, girls, man, when the guys start trying to, you know, call and call people's, no, anyways. I was actually thinking about our daughter, like, her story tonight. She's my stepdaughter, Sherry's daughter. Oh, boy.

This guy is, like, well, I don't even know if I should say this story on air, because just in case he might listen to our podcast. I don't want to say it. So we'll just leave that out. We were cracking out, though. But there are just ways that dudes try to, like, get to a girl. Nowadays, that is just comes off to a girl. It's creepy as hell.

Yeah, she's like, Mom, this is, like, restraining order crazy. But as a guy, as a guy, I'm like, I kind of get what he's doing, but also, like, God, I'm going. That's a whole, another topic, right thing. Godly. All right, Al, so listen, what is, let's just get right into it. And by the way, you're going to hang with us for a little while. So there's going to be some things I'm going to talk about. We'll read through some things, get your opinion on them, so on and so forth.

But let me ask you, before we get to a couple of things that we're going to read through. Okay. What was your first thought on the Black Lives Matter movement? And so say, let's take it back to Obama's days. Obama was really, I believe, probably one of the first ones where Black Lives Matter started popping up with Ferguson and that whole deal. And then Black Lives Matter obviously steamrolled during Trump's era. What was your first thoughts on it? And, you know, as a black male in the United States yourself, like what was your thoughts?

And did you ever voice your opinions on your thoughts, whatever they were and any of that? and for a while I didn't know about the movement for a while because I just tried to keep myself out of that kind of line by just focus on what I could control myself and then once it started getting bigger I started doing my research and understanding like okay I get what they're trying to do okay it could be a good thing it could be a bad thing I get that you want to use your voice to say whatever that's your freedom of speech. Yeah, for sure. But you can't fight evil with evil. You have to just talk. Talk, talk, talk. Talk is the only way things are going to get achieved and get going on the right direction.

For sure. No, I agree. And the reason I ask you is because, like, I mean, this is a highly subjective topic. Mm-hmm. For sure. You know, so let's just explain to the people that don't really know what Black Lives Matter is, according to Wikipedia stands for. Black Lives Matter is a decentralized, they say, political and social movement that seeks to highlight racism, discrimination, inequality, experienced by black people. So when its supporters come together, they do so primarily to protest incidents of police brutality and racially motivated violence against black people.

The movement and its related organizations typically advocate for various policy changes considered to be related to black liberation. While there are specific organizations that label themselves simply as Black Lives Matter such as Black Lives Matter global network, the overall movement is a decentralized network of people and organizations with no formal hierarchy.

Okay. So this is the official thing that the internet wants you to know about Black Lives Matter and there's some things that I already disagree with in the way Wikipedia wants to explain this.

Yes. I understand, look, and by the way, just to be clear and for the record, if this Black Lives Matter movement was legitimately, and I'm talking on behalf of myself

and Sherry. Yes, sir. If this Black Lives Matter movement was legitimately at its core to really help black people in any shape, form or fashion. Whether it be in Chicago.

Whether it be, like I understand there is police brutality. We've seen it. It's been proven. We've seen black people killed by police. But also there has been white people. Actually, more white people killed by police. More unarmed white people killed by police than more. And I get, there's not as many black people. I get it. But the thing is,

is like we are all for making black lives better. And because and I think our government has done a pretty good job of that with affirmative action even though now you've got people saying that, you know, now white people are saying, well, it's hard for me to get a job necessarily because

companies are the more minorities they hire, the more tax write-offs they get. I mean, that's just a fact. So companies, Companies are geared more for hiring minorities now than they are whites, and so white people are complaining about that.

Okay, that's fine. But when they say decentralized with the Black Lives Matter movement, decentralized means that there's no centralization of power or funding, in my opinion, or governance. And I believe this is the core of the Black Lives Matter problem. the Black Lives Matter in my opinion movement didn't start from black people that were genuinely

concerned and caring well actually let me rephrase that it may have been that is a distinct possibility that actually may have been formed by black people that did care but what I do think and know

at the very least is it was either started and funded and they even admit in Wikipedia a political and social movement but we do also have many talks and many records that say that this thing was hijacked by people like George Soros. George Soros funded them a shit ton of money. And back when the summer of love, as they call it, when, and by the way, it wasn't just Black Lives Matter. And also, I have also said this.

With these cities, it burns, right, because of the Black Lives Matter thing and all. all that shit. I'm not saying that's just black people going to burning this shit. Keep in mind it's the same thing as January 6th. Right. I do believe there were provocateurs, they were government, possibly government officials, and by the way,

there are videos online showing these random ass white people that look like freaking cops, even though they're behind you know, a mask, that show up at these Black Lives Matter movements. Oh, those like Federal guys or whatever, yeah. They show up at these Black Lives Matter movements and start breaking windows and just trying to

get the crowd to do shit. They're trying to provoke them to burn or to riot. And that's the same thing with Antifa. Same thing, yeah. Absolutely. And Antifa hijacked the Black Lives Man. Yeah, I really feel

like most of the people that were out there that were black people to protest were not the ones stirring up the shit. Most of them were not. No. Yeah, they were actually there doing a peaceful demonstration of how they feel and what they

wanted to get off their chest. Yeah. And the way I always look at it from me having children and raising children, I'm like, look at how Martin King did everything. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. Would he be happy now at the way things are turning out? No.

Absolutely not. I mean, look, we talked about this last night, Al, but we're going to talk about it again. We talked about this. We've talked about this in the podcast for it. We think, and I think you think the same thing. Martin Luther King was murdered because he was bringing people together. Yes, he brought a lot of people together. And it wasn't just black people.

It wasn't just black people. He said like, hey, look, we want all black people to have rights. We want people to have rights, but we love you as a white person too. And we want you to love us the same. Exactly. And it was like you couldn't, like, I mean, don't get me wrong. There were racist-ass white people back then. That looked at Martin Luther King's like, oh, we got to kill this motherfucker, you know?

because he's saying some shit that makes sense. Yeah, and they didn't want that happened. He's trying to bring us together. We don't want that. Right. And honestly, you know, it's, it's when you look back at the court hearing about Martin Luther King, when they had these jurors over four or six weeks, that concluded the United States government was literally the one that had him killed. Yeah. And we, I mean, how many people.

He inspired to kill him and then how, was it the restaurant owner that came on and said that all this stuff? Yeah. all this stuff happened. Or not Ruby. I'm thinking of shit. And then how the Bush's was the Bush's bottle? I can't remember it was about a hotel.

Where was it? Yeah, it was across the street. Or the motel, they call it, yeah. But it had to do with that restaurant that he was in or whatever. They were conspiring. Are those people were conspiring to kill him? Well, the restaurant owner said that like he kind of basically had no choice. Because this was all set up

and already in the play and in action. And this was a set up. by the government. Yeah. But listen, it's the same thing. It's like, Al, I'll be honest with you. You'll let me tell you why I think the whole Joe Rogan thing is a huge deal right now. And by the way, and even our podcast, our podcast is Joe Rogan and ours, for example, we have you on right now, right?

We're talking about issues that mainstream media never wants us to talk about. Exactly. We're talking about issues with the other race And we're going to hash them out And by the way, tomorrow night We already said we're having another guy on He's black and he has a different opinion, I think But I still want to hear his opinion

And because I think that it's very important And I think like people like Martin Luther King He was doing that in the public square Trying to bring both sides together But still acknowledging that this was an issue You know? I mean it's not by It's not saying that if I'm black

black and I think that white people hindered me in the day or at that time they were hindered like heavily. Yeah. That's not saying that I don't, I hate you. It's saying that look, I'm a leader in my community and we're going to bring this shit together. I know there are white people out there that are racist and I know and I know that. But I want to bring as many white people that are not racist to our cause.

For sure. And, but they couldn't hate it. Yeah. And it's always good to have that. That's why I like you guys. You know, you guys are just genuinely and you care about what you do and you guys have an open mind and you're willing to talk about situations that makes people uncomfortable. But this society and this generation and just this time and place that we're at, we can't do that without wanting to kill each other because we have a different opinion. Yeah.

That's true. I mean. And if you can't talk about. anything, nothing would never come to be something or we would never be able to come together as one and strive

for a better life because at the end of the day we don't matter. Our children are the ones that matter. And if we have this situation where I hate you because you white, I hate you because you black, I hate you because you're black, I hate you because you're a police officer.

You kill my people. That always sticks in a child's head as they get older. Yeah, you're 100% right. And then as they get older, they have that mentality. Boom, boom, boom, boom. And then you never know. They can lead that child to doing something wrong

or to just not want to be bothered by anybody. Yeah, or at the very least, feeling like you're a victim. It doesn't matter if you're black or white. If you grew up feeling a victim, you are going to succumb to the victimness. Exactly. Exactly. It's that victim mind frame. And one thing my step that always told me, he said, boy, the world don't care about your ass.

He said, the only time the world care about is when you put yourself in a position and so the world can care about you. Or you do something that put yourself in the spotlight. So go on, live your life, and stop worrying about everybody else. Do you? Yeah, absolutely. I agree that. I mean, yeah, dude, it's like, you know, you got to think about it.

It's like you either, I mean, and it's the same thing for, you know, and we've talked about us for, if you're a white kid that grows up in a trailer park that your parents were meth addicts and your and your dad beat the shit out of you or your mom was a skank hoe or, you know,

and had the damn curls in her hair and smoking that damn cigarette. I mean, literally, I mean, poe dunk. Yeah, poe dunk. These are, you know, these are stereotypes, but the thing is, there are kids, shit tons of kids that come from that.

They are. Exactly. And guess what? A lot of those kids, a lot of them turn out to be drug addicts they turn out to go to jail because they adapt the victimhood that is like well shit I can't be anything better

look where the fuck I came from but but the reality is you have to change your mindset but maybe what you're saying is it's not me it may be it's more of not a color thing but a social economic thing it is but no one wants to say that and by the way I do think

I do think black communities are probably per capita affected more heavily on the social economic, you know, issue. Yeah. I guess you can say. You know what I'm saying? I guess that's, I guess that's the thing. Well, and part of that too, though, is, you know, if you look at the statistics and I wish I had it right now, but, you know, children, and this goes for black. white children being raised by, you know, a mom, there's not a dad influence in the home. You know, all that makes a huge difference.

Just like I was saying he had a stepdad, but he really wanted his biological dad there. Of course, yeah. And that goes with all of us that our parents have been through divorce, you know, especially males, I think. That really, I think it really hurts males because they don't have that male like figure. in their life. And by the way, I don't know Al's parents. I don't know your mom, Al, or any of that. But then you just reminded me of something.

But I think Al's probably lucky that he got the parents he did. Oh, yeah. To whatever degree he did. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, and some kids are not lucky like that. But, you know, but also what you said earlier, Al, was our kids are the future. Exactly.

Which means whatever you teach your kids is going to rub off of them in the future. and vice versa and this is how the cultural thing if you realize that there are cultural issues which we do we understand there are culture issues across the board and if we understand that things are culturally a problem

then the only way to change that is to change the culture I mean exactly you can't just say because we're black or because we're white or whatever the case is that it's a cultural thing so we're just supposed to be we're just this is supposed to happen

for sure it's not and and you have to have that mindset okay I know this is what I was told I was supposed to do but

I'm going to go outside my comfort zone and see what I like yeah there's like for me how I became friends it was the outdoors and music

and I don't like a lot of rap music but I listen to it but I'm mostly listen to heavy metal country music and stuff like that because I actually fit into that crowd and it's just just a whole outside thing that really caught my

my children. Okay, there's a different side of life to what I always know and it's not as bad. Yes, it's different but go out, how fun, enjoy life because you only have one life to live and at the end of the day can you look back if something happened to you? Can you look back

And your family looked back and say, my child had a hell of life. He was crazy. He did stuff out of the wall. That's the way people need to look at life now, especially for the past two years, how we've been, you know, well, dad, that's another topic. Now, Al, do you think if you grew up in Chicago, for example, which, by the way, not every black person grows up in Chicago. but, you know, there's a lot of rough areas. There's Detroit. There's all kinds of places that are rough areas.

And by the way, I, you know, you know, look, and I don't want to say this the wrong way, but I'm trying to say this in a way that I think maybe connects. I understand like Chicago is a rough area and it's controlled by a Democrat. I mean, look, I'm not trying to just throw steam on Democrat. I'm just saying. That is part of the problem. I am saying, though, that a lot of the rough areas, I mean, we have them here. We have them here.

Lightfoot didn't even want anyone to come help. All they want to do. She wants to do it herself. It is. Put you down. Yeah, all they want to do is they want to give you enough money to barely survive. Mm-hmm. For sure.

And then they want you to just be as shitty and as screwed up as you possibly can because it's for them. It helped. Yeah, and don't go out there and be successful. Live by the government, walk by the government, survive by the government, and you'd be taken care of. In all reality, the government don't give a down by

us. No. And by the way, I hate to say it to anyone listening, but Obama came from Illinois, from Chicago, and you look at Chicago, that's one of the worst places in the United States, and our president came from there. But I think, you know, a lot

of the problem with these kids is that, you know, they're raised on... It's a perpetual system. Yeah, it is. You know, it's... They don't have father figures. They're growing up as soon as they're seven, eight years old.

If they don't get in a gang, they're not safe. But what I would like to know, you know, and here's the thing, like, this is what I was thinking. I was like, damn, what if Al grew up in Chicago South Southern? Like, what if you took Al? Right here, right here? Right here on this podcast.

And you, and we reversed time in a simulation. world, right? And we can take Al back to when he was born. You put him in Chicago and maybe you put him in Chicago with his same exact family, parents and all. On the south side. Southside, the ghetto, the dam, the hard knock, like, this is either this or this. I just wonder how Al would be different today.

Well, like he said, I think it has to do with his mother, but go ahead, Al. I don't know. I'm just curious. I don't know. And I don't know. It would be I think from my mom's perspective, because we live in the apartment's most of our lives anyway, I think we didn't get our first house, was the rent house, so I was like 14, 14, no, 13, 14, something around that time. Yeah. But she was always trying to progress herself because she wanted it better for her babies.

And I think with my mom's mind frame, how she is and how she was back then, going to get off your buddy and not be like your daddy. her exact words well you can get off your ass and not be like your daddy yeah and i think she would still be that way but she would try and push me harder to get out the situation so she was a strong mama yeah she wanted what's best for me and my sister and a lot of my friends that came over she wanted what's best for them that's awesome though and must have a better life and not live the life that they live the life that they live So I think if I live in Chicago, she would still have that mind frame.

I think it would be a different kind of living because she would have to protect us more. But she would still push us to get off our ass and go out there and work harder and make someone of ourselves. Yeah, I was just curious what you thought was. Okay, so let's get to the Black Lives Matter thing for a minute. So this Black Lives Matter deal, you know, they supposedly cared so much about Black Lives, that they created this movement. they raised essentially tens of millions and millions and millions of dollars. Where did money go to? Well, that's the thing.

So at the same time, there was over $1 billion in property damage based on these rallies. And by the way, I think the rallies were heavily coordinated through what I would probably call super PACs. I mean, if you look at the Joe Rogan situation, it's that we're starting to see now that it is a super PAC, Democrat super PAC, that is funding and making sure that Joe Rogan goes down. They're trying their ass off. But think about if you had a movement to where you really wanted to influence an election domestically, you're going to do something like that.

But according to a new report, there's a new report from the Associated Press that $90 million donated to the political group in 20, 2020, none of that money reached local activist. And Black Lives Matter has been around since 2014. It's been backed by big-name celebrities and the Democratic Party. So where's that money? Well, there was a group of 10 chapters called the BLM-10 rejected Foundation's funding offer last year and complained publicly about the lack of donor transparency.

The Foundation leaders say only a few of the 10 chapters are recognized as a network affiliates. So in a letter released in November 30th, the Black Lives Matter 10 claimed most chapters have received little to no financial resources from the Black Lives Matter movement, census launched in 2013, and that has had adverse consequences for the scope of the organization and work. Local chapter leaders told the AP. So the chapters are simply asking for an equal say in this thing that our names are attached to that they are doing in our name, said April Goggins, organizer Black Lives Matter DC. which is part of the BLM 10, along with groups in Indianapolis, Oklahoma City, San Diego, Hudson Valley, New York, and elsewhere. They said, we are Black Lives Matter. We built this each one of us. Records show some chapters have received multiple rounds of funding amounts ranging from $800 to $69,000 going back as far as 2016. Another report recently published by Politico shows many individuals who founded the movement continue to take advantage of its public success while shifting local activities. It says the operations of Black Lives Matter have always been opaque with thousands of members and dozens of affiliates.

Two in its three co-founders are no longer affiliated with the movement, even as they continue to represent Black Lives Matter on TV. Well, didn't that girl get fired or busted or whatever, the main girl? Well, there's been a lot of them. So now... Some lady. Yeah, and I think that she was white, too, and she was acting like she was black or something. Oh, I don't know. I have no idea. But what were you saying?

Oh, yeah. Do you guys remember that? Didn't some lady in California that was part of bail in them, like bought a big mansion in California? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And there was another lady that was a white lady pretending to be black and they caught her butt too. Oh, wow. Yeah, I was like, where's the money going?

I think that meant she was like 20, like they saw like 25 million and stuff like that. Yeah. It's crazy. So now you have a report from the Daily Mail. And the Daily Mail is a, I believe it's a UK-based news organization. But they're one of the biggest newspaper news outlets in the world. And they have an article that says George Soros has plowed anywhere from 3 million to 13 million of dark money into Black Lives Matter activists pushing to defund the police. So George Soros poured all this money into this whole deal.

The Foundation to Remote Open Society funneled money to a community resource hub for safety and accountability. And so the Foundation to Remote Open Society, which is one of two major grant-making foundations funded by Soros Open Society Foundation's, funneled a total of 3 to 13 million in 2020 to the Community Resource Hub for safety and accountability. according to a search of the charity's grant base. So critics have argued that the new venture fund is a dark money organization allowing left-wing donors to anonymously pour money into the political cause. So think about this. So George Soros, obviously, is pretty much proven that he's funded this organization.

You can go to his organization and see where he's funded it. They have, like, on his organization, you can see, like, there's, like, eight different organizations he funds. But when you go to things like that, it's all the United States. And it's this huge green line. Like, it's crazy.

But look, here's a thing. So if you look up Black Lives Matter and George Soros on Google, there's fact check websites that they use for COVID and everything else that says George Soros is not a part of Black Lives Matter. They try to just completely get rid of that whole thing. Tell him to go to his organization.

organization a look. Yeah, even though it's so transparent. And look, the reason that these fact check websites are trying to disperse your viewpoint on this is simply because George Soros funds political activist groups around the world to cause civil wars, to overthrow governments. And that's essentially what he wanted with Black Lives Matter. He wanted to cause a race war. And that's why I believe he bring in Antifa to the Black Lives Matter.

Yeah, it was both. Yeah, I mean, he did whatever he could to fund it. What is your thoughts on now? I mean, like, is it not crazy to you? That is crazy because I saw a while back that they had tour buses. I'm like, what the hell? How do they have tour buses? They're a non-profit organization.

And they had a lot of them, too. Oh, hell, yeah. And these were, like, pretty nice tour buses. And not only did they have the tour buses, but they were dropping off, like, um, palates of bricks. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I just think, you know, if you're going to do a movement for a reason, get together, talk about it, go out and show your expression of how you feel.

not man it's just that's just crazy um al let me let me ask you something

do you do you think that um like if you were a black lives matter leader uh and you had this money

to give where would you put it what I would put it yeah where would you go the black lives matter money I would put it in an organization that

teach us how to become one together say like a local boys and girls club I would get involved with the community, communities and schools with school districts. I would invest my money in the city pretty much to have a monthly, weekly, daily, something that were bringing law enforcement, the citizens of the town, and the Black Lives Matter protest, together to want, together as one to sit down and talk about it. Yeah, for sure. Especially when people get hit about all the situations that happen, I get to have the right to.

But just sit down and talk about it, express yourself. And at the end of the day, we all believe red. And the only way we can get things accomplished is by talking and coming up with ideas to help better the future. That's the only things are going to get solved. Yeah, I agree with you. 100% now. You'll me tell you what the biggest threat to the agenda is right now? The biggest threat.

And this is something I didn't say earlier. I was trying to say, but I forgot. Or I didn't forget, but I just went off on some other shit. The reason why Joe Rogan is so hard trying to be canceled right now is because he is not left and he is not ranked. Yes, he made some, he made some mistakes. I mean, I, you know, I don't know. I mean, but keep in mind, too, back in the day, I don't know. I'm not even going to try to defend Joe Rogan.

It doesn't freaking matter. The point is... We all make mistakes for life. Yeah, we do. But what I am saying is, is that the reason why he's a huge threat is because I believe that Joe Rogan has a lot of blacks and whites that listen to his podcast. And I believe he's not left or right. I believe he is pro-America, pro-freedom. and that is very scary

to this administration, this government. Because any time you have someone that can possibly bring people together, it is a risk and a threat to the United States. By the way, before we came on this podcast, I was reading the U.S. Department of Justice

just released a new memo today. And they say that anyone that questions, election fraud or the election or anyone that basically questions their response to COVID-19 that they

will be considered domestic terrorist. Oh, wow. And they will go after them. And they stated that in August. You remember when we did the podcast in August about that? Yeah, we did. But on yesterday's memo, they made sure they said, we will

go after you. Yeah, but you know what's funny? They didn't they didn't put anything about terrorists outside the world or the BLM or anything. Well, look, they didn't put all that crazy shit because

they're probably a big part of it, to be honest. It's a hidden agenda behind that. Well, obviously, this is a, it's a democratic way of trying to get votes, basically. They don't really care

about anyone. They just want votes. Dude, they're already prepping. Al, what do you think to answer to our problems? I mean, I mean,

do you really think that America is racist? Do you think America is racist? I can't say it to everybody else, but I haven't had

that racism type deal that people say they're talking about. Honestly, from the different culture, from the black culture to the white culture,

I've actually, how I got myself to be better is from the ideas and people putting ideas in my head to help me get better. And most of them were white guys. And like, for instance, I'll say, I got pulled over by an officer who was about a year ago.

And we were talking, just for about 30 minutes we talked. He said, man, you make a good employee. You need to go, you need to go serve your community somewhere that we need more guys like you. And that is an officer telling me that. but I'm pretty sure there's racism somewhere. Oh, yeah, for sure. But at the end of the day, the thought of that racism is that thought themselves.

They can be racist against you, whoever. I mean, there's black racist, would you agree with me? Yeah. Oh, for sure. And there's white racism. Yeah, I experienced black racism. And I was back in East Texas when I moved away and I moved back. I experienced because

Because you You seem maybe too white to be black Pretty much I think we talked about this last night Yeah But that's a good point

I went to Walmart And I have a Texas sticker That's back to blue And the firefighter I was involved to the firefighter And In the parking lot Come out

What the hell Little black kid Pull it up I'm like Why Because it's racist I'm like That's not racist

So a black kid was pulling off what sticker? Pulling off my, I had a back-to-boot, Texas sticker, the thin blue line, and a red line for firefighter. Okay. And his mom's like, why the hell you got it on there for her? You like those people? They're killing us. Wow. Yeah.

And so this kid was pulling it off your car. Yes. Oh, my God. Wow. And then the second time I dealt with, because my kids are biracial. Yeah. And ladies told me I was going to hell for having mixed kids. Oh, my God.

Was it black or white girl? Black lady. Oh, the black lady. Okay. That just makes my heart. And by the way, I mean, and in all fairness, there will be white people that will say that to a white girl that dates a black guy, too. I mean That just hurts my heart

You know I'm just gonna say this Like you know back like 10 years ago Again our friends You know Twice a year They would have to take K counts of kids

How many boys How many girls Yeah And then they would have to like Take account of like race Or ethethist Ethenticity

Yeah Or whatever But I don't understand Like what is a different between an American and an African-American. Well, okay, yeah, that's great. So this is actually a good question. And we brought this up before.

Al, do you consider yourself African-in-A-man? I mean, I guess you probably do, but like, but I feel like if you're born in America, no matter what color you are, you're American, right? I mean, I don't know. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, you should be, you can't change what happened in the past. That's just another thing to attach to black

so they can have that, I guess, whatever. But if you're born in America, you're a black American. Yeah. And I actually met some Africans from, like, South Africa. They don't like black people in America. They don't. That's funny. They really don't.

Yeah, because they... And they would tell you, you are not African. You are black American. Yeah. It's how they say they're not from African? And they probably think... Yeah. And the Africans probably think...

probably thinking to these other guys, like you have no idea what life is like, you know, how hard it is in Africa. Yeah, that's the thing. It's like Africans, Africans are,

you know, if you go to like freaking a North African stuff, that shit is like, you want some hard, hard knock life. Go there, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. And I said that they do not like the black Americans because they say that we're lazy. We don't want to work. We don't know. how to survive, we have everything to give it to us in America and we just take it for a grain of salt

we treat it like shit. It's say if you come for a really African country, you will embrace the things that you have here in America. And it's true. We all do just take everything when we have for paying salt. We don't really just embrace what we have. And I really think

that goes for all Americans. Like Yeah, that's true. To some point, We're all kind of like we feel like it should be handed to us at this point. Yeah, I mean, you know, like we have so many freedoms and we have so many opportunities, all of us in America, and we don't take advantage of it. And we just like sulk and instead of getting off our asses and going for what we want. Yeah. And that goes for all of us. This might be controversial.

This might be controversial what I say, but I want to say this. you know, okay, we have a guy coming on tomorrow night and I think, you know, and I don't know, and we're going to talk tomorrow night. And by the way, Al may come on to respond to whatever he says tomorrow. I don't know. It just depends. Or I would actually kind of like to have Al on at the end of his,

to kind of have both of you talk. But whatever, we'll figure it out. But in my opinion, and this is just my opinion, and I could be completely wrong, I do believe that everyone has the same opportunities like now not 100% I mean

I don't think in all places that the opportunities are dismissed based on race and the reason I say this is because I believe that if you're a black guy like Al and you're born in a certain place and you have a certain environment around you for a most part, I guess I believe that you probably have a lot of the same opportunities as your fellow white people. Maybe I'm wrong.

Well, ask you. But also, before I say that, though, is because, like, but also at the same time, if you're a poor white kid coming up from trailer park, like, why does that not matter? You know, and I guess, and it's not like a poor white, poor white me. I mean, I had a shitty childhood. I did. But, but, you know, I don't talk about that. on this podcast and all that. I mean,

I always know there's, no matter how hard your life is, there's always someone's life harder. Exactly. It's always. It's because you think your life is hard. There's somebody who could be sleeping in their car because they don't have no money

to pay their rent. Absolutely. While you get to sleep on a nice country bed, eat a hot meal, there can be somebody lived in that situation. Just be grateful for what you have. And the partners we lived in, we saw black,

Asian, a couple of Mexican guys, which they were, you know, they were just, they're, they're just built different Mexicans than an apartment because they were all packed themselves in. I was going to ask you that. And get themselves out of that situation. Yeah. Yeah. But that is like a stereotypical thing with, like, Mexican people that come here, they pack themselves in into an apartment.

There might be 20 of them in an apartment. Well, they're just here for the freedoms. Right. But they're not going to, they're not bitchy. or like they're excited to be here. They're excited for the things that we have here and we're born with to have. They're moving here to be excited for what we have here in order to better themselves that we take for granted. Exactly.

And that goes for all Americans that are born here. I got a thought here. And I don't even want to say these thoughts that's coming to my mind, but I got to say them. and I got to ask you, Al. So, for example, if someone tells us, like, you don't understand what it's like coming from this city that I grew up in as, and look, I'm just saying it. Because look, we've got to say the truth. We got to say what we say. You don't understand what it's like to come from this city as a black guy.

Okay? And so someone says that. And I'm like, okay, I get that. I get it. I get it. I get it. but at the same time, like, why could a white dude not message us and say, hey, you don't understand what it's like to come from this trailer park, uh, as a white guy?

Like, why could someone, why could we, if you have a black guy on that says, I came from the streets, I came from like, there was no getting out of this. Well, how, how are a lot of white, really poor white people going to get out? I mean, like, how is it different, I guess? I mean, and, and correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just asking you. Like, is there a difference? Because I don't know.

Maybe there is. I think, man, the difference is, it's all in your mental state. I think it's all in your mind of the differences. Because no matter what, if you're in a bad situation, no matter of black or white, manse, whatever, you're struggling. And you're busting your ass to try and get better no matter what. But I think it's just the way we see ourselves in our mind that makes our lives harder.

than anybody else around. In all reality, you can be doing the same thing, black, white, whatever, but just in your mind, it's different because you have that mind frame, okay, my life is harder than his life,

so feel sorry for me or do whatever. And you accept that and you're okay with it. I mean, and that's the shitty part. And let me just tell you guys, like an example of like the opposite. Like, I'm at, okay, I came from like a, middle class kind of poor family you know we didn't have everything my mom got busted shoplifting to get me makeup or whatever kind of things like that you know we were not rich we you know we we had to work for the shit we got but when i first met chad and i went to north carolina to his

house this boy lives in a shack from the 1800s that's what he grew up in first of all it's a freaking cabin. Okay, a cabin with two rooms. God, dang. You could rent that shit out. I mean, the floors are all weavy and, I mean, this guy, I mean, if anyone wants to complain, this boy was feeding raccoons out of his window. Oh, that's awesome.

And then when you walk downstairs, it's like a cellar where you, like, put potatoes and stuff. Sorry. Where you put potatoes and stuff. Like, I'm not kidding. When I first went to Chad's, like, house where he grew up, I was like, holy shit. Like, I really. Hey, Al, Al, you got some sound going on in your phone.

I don't know what that sound is. It's like a rubbing. But I guess what I was saying is. Or is that me? I don't know what I sound. Like I said in the beginning of the podcast, sometimes I almost feel like it's not about your color. It's about your socioeconomic status. Or in culture.

Yeah. or your culture. But Chad was a white dude that was very, very poor and grew up like in an all-black school or whatever. Mostly, yeah, mostly black. You, yeah, all your friends were black. Your mom, chitlins or whatever for your birthday, you know, everything like that. But the point is, is that instead of being angry. By the way, let's elaborate on what Sherry's saying, because she's just saying shit.

But I'm just saying instead of being angry. No, I already know what we're going to know. I already know what we're going to hear from this. Can I just finish it? Instead of being angry about your situation, you've always strived to be the best you can be. You're like, Sherry, I'm going to be rich one day. I'm going to do whatever it takes.

It ain't happened yet. But you know what? Chad tries and he does everything he can to try to be rich. You know, that's his goal. Listen, listen, I got to, I got to, because you don't explain shit the way even I explained it to Al last night. So let me make sure we make. this is a point. What Sherry's saying

is that, yes, I grew up in a predominantly black school. And so when I had birthday parties, most of the people that came to our birthday parties were blacks. And my mom would always ask, what does everybody want? We would cook anything anybody wanted. You know? And regardless

of what I, well, by the way, we mostly ate the same shit they did. And like, I don't even think it's really a black thing. It's a freaking southern thing. Yeah, exactly. Exactly, yeah, it's a southern thing, Chitlins. No, Chitlin. That's crazy, man. It's crazy because, you know, most of my friends are white.

And my wife friends will come over tomorrow's my mom's, what ch'all want? Mama, can you cook your living garlic pepper chicken and, you know, and your honey cheese? Oh, my gosh. Like, my mom, she would go out to the store and spend like $60 on just cooking food for us. and that brought us close in a sense, you know, as a dozen, we still sit back and talk about them. I never forget, I'm on, she cooked like 46 pieces of chicken, and it was gone in like 15 minutes. I love it. Yeah, but food brings people together, man.

It sure does. But I'm not going to eat no chill-ins. I'm sorry. Well, I didn't eat them. But it wasn't just that. I mean, it was chicken livers, which is really the reason why I don't. I mean chicken layers either. But that's a big southern thing.

I have tried fat back. I have tried fat back. I like that. Yeah, fat back. Yeah, it's a southern thing too. So, Al, let me tell you, what do you think is the solution to all of our issues, a race thing?

I mean, like, how, like, number one, are you ever going to bring, is anyone ever going to truly come together, racially? We can just only hope and pray that someone wakes up to their sense. and be a motivational leader to tell us what we're doing. Like, the president has the power to condone anything that's going on.

They can sit down with one speech. We're going to pass this shit. We're going to talk about what's going on. We're going to come together as a country. Yeah, and that's one of the things Trump didn't do, but neither is Biden, neither is any of them. Yeah. Yeah, and we need that person, persons, or whoever, to take that extra step, say what we're doing, we had enough of, we need to come together as one as a country.

Because no matter what we do, how is going right now, and what the situation that's going on, it's not going to get better until someone says we need to stop this. Because at the end of the day, we don't matter. Once again, we don't matter. It affects our kids in the long run. it affects everybody that's left on this earth after we pass on. Yeah. Can I tell you guys one of my favorite quotes by my favorite actor of all times?

What is it? Morgan Freeman. Okay. He said that there will always be racism as long as we talk about it. Yeah. Yeah, as long as we, as this still around. As long as we talk about it, we're always going to have racism. And Al and I talked last night about this.

Like there's a show on Netflix or whatever about this KKK group And this black dude goes and visits them in Georgia. Yeah, I saw that. Yeah. And sure he's like, why are we watching this? I'm like, because these guys are stupid as shit. You can't go there. No, but no, the reason I was watching it is because I just can't believe there are people that that damn dumb.

Yeah. Well, I'm going to tell you like 25 years ago when I first moved to South Carolina and the first time I went to a gas station, I was like in culture shock. like from Colorado to here like there was a big racism thing here like it is like way different in the south than it is like in Colorado

for some reason Al sounds like he's got ghost on his phone do you hear that? Yeah I hear it I have a ghost somewhere from wood No it sounds like you got ghost It's the ghost of girlfriends past I believe No it sounds weird

But I'm just saying even going from the west to the south is a cultural, like, shock. It's a cultural shock. It is. But even, like, even the accents were like a cultural shock, too. You know, the way people talk. Well, listen, I will tell everybody this. You know, I wanted to get Al's opinion tonight on this Black Lives Matter thing.

And by the way, in my opinion on the Black Lives Matter thing, I do think that it was politically motivated. I think it started politically. I think that it was funded politically. I think that, I mean, there's a New York Times article that says George Soros funded $220 million for racial equality. And by the way, most of that went to Black Lives Matter, which is why, if you wonder how they got all these buses and all this shit, I mean, this is how. But why did they not send that money to Chicago? Like, why did they not have action teams in Chicago trying to get people to kill, like, trying to get black people to quit killing black people.

Like, if you care about black lives, like dying, go to freaking Chicago. Exactly. Invest in your money where you see where the black people are having the biggest issue. Yeah. If you truly care, the tens of millions that they spent should have been invested. around the United States to help better black people and get the narrative across, we're doing this because we believe black lives matter. Okay, black lives do matter.

They do. Let's figure out how we can come together and make our black lives better. I totally agree. And especially like in areas like Detroit, Chicago, like the, you know, the areas where kids don't even like, they don't really have an opportunity when they're born. Like, they're like born into like circumstances that are way harder than any of us know. You know, there's three, four, five-year-olds being shot at in Chicago. Well, no, no, no.

There's kids that are dying. Yeah, and they're being, being done. These are innocent black kids. Yeah. And it's just, it's so, like, senseless of what's going on there. And instead of investing in Black Lives, matters rallies or foundations or buying Or even Boys and Girls Club, like you said, in Chicago.

Yes. It goes out and... But instead of buying all these people rich, fancy houses and you don't even know where the money went, spend it where it needs to be. Like, my mom lives in Chicago. And, you know, for the last 10 years that I've been there, she's like, no, we can't go to the South Side.

We might get shot. Like, it's so bad there. But now it's moved to... It's moved to the city, yeah. To the city. in Michigan and anywhere you walk, you're not safe anymore. Yeah. Because they've let it go out of control.

They have not stopped it. And so now it's moving and it's growing. And instead of getting a handle on that, they just let it go because they want to defund the police. Yeah. It's almost like they, on the south side of town, the politicians, they enjoy seeing black people kill themselves. hurt each other, hurt their families. It's like they get a thrill out of that. It really doesn't make sense at all.

If the black lives do matter and what you're going about, what your motto is, you, whoever you are, especially if you're a black politician, you have to step up and make sure those black lives matter by education, doing all types of things to help. Yeah, would that not be the first place you go out?

Exactly. And I'm just going to, like, call out Mayor Lightfoot, though. Mayor Lightfoot's a piece of shit. We all know that. But, Al, would that not be the first place you go is Chicago? Man, there'll be the first place I go to figure out what's going on. Why is it happening? And what can we do to evolve this whole place of Chicago? Make it a better place not just for black, but whites for everybody. Just for the people. Yeah.

We could be people. Oh, it is. And so with that said, I want to say something because we're going to wrap this up here shortly. But I want to say this. For the people that are listening, and by the way, we've got, you know, our guest is coming on tomorrow. I think he has a different opinion on probably even maybe what we talked about tonight. Even though I think what we talked about, wait, hold on. Go ahead, Sherry.

What do you want to say? I'm saying that we don't know that. We're not going to assume. I know, I get it, but I think he does. But regardless, I do want to say this. Like, people like Al, Al's Black. I love Al. We've not known each other very long.

But what I can tell you is, is that if it comes ever down to the people against anybody that is trying to oppress the people, or anybody that is trying to say that you don't have freedoms or rights as a human being, I've got owls back as much as I have your back or anybody else's. And I know he does mine. I know he does mine too. Yeah, me too. But listen.

But I do think there are people out, I do think on both sides, there are white people that would never say that about a black person. There are black people that would never say it about a white person just because of their color. Right. But that's the issue we have. That is.

And listen, anybody that, and I'm going to say it like it is, anybody that fucks with us, that knows that we're not racist, knows that we are good people. They're fucking with Al. No, listen. No.

That's not what I'm saying, Sherry. Sorry, Al. But anybody that knows us knows that like we have your back no matter what color you are. Look, we're here for freedom, for human rights, for people to be free around the world.

I don't give a damn what color you are. I don't care if you are from a random-ass country we've never heard of on the, on the end of South America that you're a tribe and you somehow get on a freaking podcast and you reach out and say, hey, dude, we've not worn clothes ever. But we did happen to find your podcast and we want your help. I'm going to be like, hey, how can we fucking help you? And we do that with everyone, as many people that message us as possible.

We don't care what color you are, dude. We're all human beings. And by the way, if you are Christian whatsoever. lead the same color. Well, if you're Christian whatsoever, all people are God's children if you believe in God. And if you don't, fine, but you still can't be a piece of shit and think that anyone is less than you or more than you. Exactly. And who I'm racist against is the people that are freaking racist.

Exactly. And I have to go back to the point of these first graders that don't even know color. They don't. They know no color. Racism comes when you get older. all about we were compatible than anything we never saw that

growing up it's just crazy how when we were kids now to we're adults and we see them like back to my day

we didn't have that issue some people may have but we did it was all about I didn't it was all about having fun

and enjoying our lives together it's just crazy man no it was I mean when I

when I grew up It was, uh, God, that's so weird, that sound. I don't know what that sound is.

Yeah, when I grew up, it was, it wasn't about race. I mean, and it wasn't about any of that shit. No one cared about that anymore. But look,

the point is, is that no one disagrees that black lives matter. I don't think. I mean, there are people that probably do. I mean, there are a piece of shit. Yeah, we all know that black lives matter.

Of course we do. But listen. A hundred percent. Listen, the biggest issue right now is that we have to all come together, period, no matter what, to make sure that we all maintain our

Constitution, our Bill of Rights as human beings, even just in America. But it's not just America. I mean, America is the biggest issue with like trying to make everything about race. That is the United States more than anything. And the reality is that, yes,

black people have more opportunities now than they ever have. So does anyone else in this country. That's the reason we're America. I mean, like, we are America. This is a place where people want to be. And I do feel like, I do, I do honestly feel like that things are flip-flopping a little bit. I feel like they're trying to say that white people, like, there was white males.

It's not really white people. There was something I saw the other day is like the worst person to be in America today in 2022 is a white male. Like, I mean, whether that's true or not, but, you know, all the media, all the government, everybody goes after white males. They believe they are terrorists. They are the most racist, white supremacist people on the planet. And it's like they would exterminate them and everyone would just be okay with it. And I wonder if that goes back with like our founding fathers. Like because they're all white males.

You know, women didn't have right. Black people didn't have rights, you know. And now it's white people, I guess. Yeah, I don't know. We can judge our future off the weekend. go back in it but we can't change that that's what we're doing though we can't change that the only thing we can do is better ourselves for the future and that's why i don't understand about nowadays you want to hold on to something you didn't even exist at the time being yes it happened

it's a mess of part of our history but we can't sit there and judge everybody else because of the history yeah and that's why i don't really get all up in arms about like when people tear down statues of slave owners and shit. You know what I mean? Like, there's some people that do, but I don't really. Because I don't know. I mean, you know,

if they were a fucking slave honor, they really probably shouldn't be a statue. I mean, I guess. You know what I mean? Well, I mean, I don't know because... No, I'm just saying, if they were slave owners and they were genuinely

piece of shit people, even though they are part of history, I get that. They shouldn't really have a statue in Times Square. Yeah, I get that. You know, and I understand that. But at the same time, I think most white people would understand that,

but it's just the political agenda behind taking down the statues is why people fight it. It's not really about whether white people in general disagree or agree with what that person was about. It's more so just a fact of like, oh, you're trying to take down our damn statue. But, okay, for a late, for example, Lincoln, the Lincoln Memorial, for example, I mean, it was like demolished with the confetti or whatever it's called. What's it called? Not confetti, but the, you know, the painting. What's it called?

Oh, yeah, it was basically defaced. Yeah, defaced or whatever. But Lincoln, it was the one that went into Civil War to stop slavery. Exactly. Yeah, but that's the thing. It's like they want to take down statues of anybody that was even in that era now. That was a political any figure. A lot of people don't know about this, but there was a black slave who became a slave owner,

and he became one of the most prolific slave honors in history. Yes, absolutely. But you don't hear about that in school. No. You won't hear about that at all. They want you to just think that slaves was just owned by this one race, and slavery happened all over. It's just, man. Yeah.

Actually, Africans are who sold black people to whites in America. Yeah, so they can take care of their family. I think you're just trying to trade, I'm mistaken. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, look, slavery is awful. It is awful. And nobody should have bought a human being, because I just think that's wrong, period. And by the way, just for the record, not all white people were slave owners.

No. Actually, it was the elites. It was the powerful government people that were mostly the slave owners. You know, aka the same motherfuckers that are in, well, the same, the same type of people they're in power now. Yes, it's the Democrats. And if you don't believe me, go ask my friend that is a social studies teacher of high school who is a Democrat. She'll even tell you that. No, she, no, she wouldn't.

Yes, she told me that. She would try to BS you. No, she didn't. She told me the truth. She would try to BS you out of that. But anyways, but yeah, so that's, I don't know. Al's got some weird sounds coming out of his phone. I don't know what those sounds are.

It might be a UFO. Yeah, it's a strange sound. I don't know if it's something in his background. It's like a matrix sound. Maybe he's in a simulation. But it's weird. As soon as he talks, it goes away. Yeah.

That's scary. It goes away. Yeah, they're trying to decode our messages. Yeah, they don't want you. to talk, Al. See? We'll look at it when we already started something. Damn it.

Well, I'll listen, man. We love you, dude, and I'm glad you're a listener of ours, and I'm glad that, I'm glad we had this conversation. I mean, I wanted to get your opinion and kind of just what you thought of everything, and we didn't go

crazy deep, but, you know, just, I think that the moral of this message tonight is is a simple fact of like, should we just, I mean, we really have to forget about race and color, and we have to come together as people, as human beings, across the world. And I used to think it was all about America, but, like, I mean, people message us from Australia. I have a long message right now from Australia that just messages earlier talking about their

situation. And people from Canada and shit like that. And it's like, man, we, like, we're on a. movement to help people. Because, Al, by the way, are you religious at all or now? Yes, yes, sir. Do you believe in God? Yes, sir, I do.

Do you believe in Jesus? Yes, sir, I do. You're like, do you do this. Do you do that? No, no. Okay. Do you equate any of what's going on now to the Bible at all? If you read revelations, man, the things that's going on, it's like, Look out. Yeah, it's too close.

It's too close. Whoa. Am I doing the right thing in life to make sure that when that day comes, I'm all set and ready to go? Or what do I need to do? It's crazy. Yeah. Well, and I think that's what we all have to be. But I don't know.

I've seen, I've also, and this is another Black Lives Matter thing, I got this. This is the last thing I'm going to say. there has been a push to decredit Christianity among the black community I have seen it on Facebook I've seen it on social media they have said that even they're trying to even call Jesus racist

I mean I've literally seen my friends post this why because he looks kind of like dark skin white no no no they're trying to say that the most racist shit ever happened was in the Bible is what they're saying even though it's not true. Oh, the most racist shit in the Bible that happened to Jesus was he was a Jew and they crucified him. Persecuted him.

No, they crucified him on the cross. But they persecuted him even before that. This is why? Well, it's just a movement of you got to control a population. You got to control it in all aspects. So they have to make sure that the black people that don't necessarily buy the bullshit that the government portrays to them and then they want to try to reach

to black people that think that oh well I have God and God tells me to love all people so now they're doing this push to tell you that God and Jesus is racist literally I swear to God dude I wish I was wrong about this but I'm telling you

I'm seeing these memes going around and my friends that are black posting this shit saying that the most racist people in history was the Bible people that's what I'm seeing it's the new thing and it's crazy for people who grew up

in reading the Bible you didn't think that it was racist until now so how what changed if she grew up in the church how was that

yeah that's just crazy I totally agree with Al and to prove his point further like I know a lot of people of color or whatever and they you know their churches are a little bit different i love their churches actually yeah but they i feel like they're more spiritual like i'd rather be there than like a boring they are way spiritual and worship jesus the way jesus should be

worshipped like when you go there you better be ready to worship and i love that about those type of churches like christian churches some of them you just sit there with your hands in your laugh. No, they're still Christians. There are. No, no, no. I'm saying black churches are still Christian. They are, but I'm just saying they worship. You're comparing black churches as a Christian. I'm saying No, no, no, no. They're all Christian. They're all

Christian. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying black Christian churches, they're like, you better be ready to worship and you better be ready to come to the front. Yeah, well, go to a Pentecost of Holiness Church and let's see what happens. So I... People are doing flips down the aisle. And then you see people in like in the choir, like,

black choirs especially. Like, it just makes me want to, like, sing when I listen to a black Christian choir. They're freaking amazing because they're so talented. Yeah, I agree. Well, Al, do you have any closing thoughts before we get off here? It's been an hour and a half. I think it's been a good, I think it's been a good show. But, like, what do you say about just this whole situation, man?

What do you feel like the key to the future is? among all people. And the key to the feature is you can't counteract violence with violence. Come together as one and talk. Express. You love you, get emotional, get whatever. But do not, I mean,

do not go in and cause a bigger scene or a bigger ruckus because you're trying to get your appointment. across, express yourself, sit down, talk, and come up with ideas that we can all come together as one. That, like I said, no matter what,

revolves around us, we the people. Yeah, sure. If we the people cannot make the world keep revolving around us, it's going to go to shit like it's doing now.

Oh, yeah. So what we need to do is just talk, express ideas, and invest the time in each other. I like the rooftop revelations that pastor he's on top of roof

and he's talking about thing that's going on in the world. He don't get praise for that. He's a black pastor. And who is this? I think he's in Chicago. What's his name? I can't remember his name.

I just saw it the other day. I cannot remember his name, but it's called rooftop revelations. Rooftop revelations. Yeah, but he doesn't get praised. for what he's doing. He's trying to reach out to the world and bring people together. I love that.

He'll probably be murdered soon then. We got to reach out to him. Well, listen, Al, number one, number one, we appreciate you listen to us. And number two, you're not a listener of ours. You're a friend of ours. Exactly. You're our friend. And look, we're going to get to Texas very soon.

And I love the fact that you like outdoors shit, because, Outdoors things, man. If I, if I'm watching YouTube at night when Sherry's asleep, I'm usually watching outdoors, like, camping, backpacking, just shit like that. I love that. And so we're going to have to go camping together. We're going to have to go camping, hiking, exploring.

We're going to do that shit. Oh, well, I won't ask him now. I was going to ask how old is because he's, didn't you say he's a single dad, by the way? Yeah. Yes. And how old are your kids? Can I ask? 11. 10.

Well, I just commend you for being a great dad that you are. No, he is. I mean, that's awesome. That you're, you know, you're a single dad with three kids. Yeah, that's tough. But, hey, you're, at least, I'm glad that you got kids that they're going to grow up with a dad that is teaching them the right things. You know what I'm saying? Yes, sir.

You said, that's the only way we can better ourselves is by, expanding our mind and, you know, looking on the both sides of things. For sure. Well, Al, man, thank you so much for coming on. We do have part two of this series tomorrow night. And Al, you may come on tomorrow night as well to kind of talk about the situation. But thank you so much, Al, and we definitely appreciate you coming on. Thank you, my friend.

Look, by the way, we have Al coming on and a couple other episodes in the future, so be ready to check that out. Al, thank you so much. Thank you so much. No problem. Have a good night. You too. So that was Al. That's her friend. Great guy.

And man, you know, it's interesting to hear. I mean, and that's why I say, like, tomorrow night, we're going to have a different aspect of this. And I think, just like Al said, you have to have these because although, you know, he grew up his position and and and all that and and and whatever um we want to have both sides on and and we want to talk through it i'm actually really excited for tomorrow night's podcast to talk to this guy and um does this guy have a name i'm not going to say because i don't know exactly what he i don't know like how public he wants because he is a rapper um you know and you know he's so i'm not going to say like you know you have to get you have to get you

get his permission Yeah, I don't know what he wants to me to say or how he wants to be to. And that's why you address him as this guy. Yeah. Okay, got you. So we'll see. We'll see if he wants to like be public or whatever about who he is.

Um, and all that. But we're going to have him on tomorrow night and we're going to talk about I, I guess I say the other side. But I do think that, um, Al is like when I, when I talk with Al, we connected like almost pretty instantly. It was like this dude I would go camping with. We would freaking have a blast, take shots, drink beers, just have a freaking time relize.

Well, how do you even know Al drinks? Well, I don't know. But he would drink if he was in me. I don't think he drinks. He may not. You may not. But he would drink if, damn it if he was in me. I'm like, dude, do these beers and these shots.

He did say that he doesn't. Yeah, I don't think he drinks. Yeah, but I think what Al is, I mean, maybe he doesn't. But my point is. is that. But it's fine, but I think that's great. But we used to have a blast. Yeah.

But I also think that even though this dude tomorrow, I think, has a little different opinions, I guess, on certain things that we do. I know. I know. But I would still probably have a blast of this dude, too. Yeah. You might connect with him. And that's what, no, I think we will.

Because we're normal people. He is a listener of ours. And I think he, I think the reason he reached out because he knows we're not. I think he knows who we are. It's a comfortable place for him. But I think he still has a different opinion. Yeah. And I, I'm glad that that's happening.

Yeah, I am too. And I'm excited about that. Yeah, me too. And so yeah, can't wait for tomorrow night's episode. By the way, guys, this is Valentine's Day weekend. I hope that you have someone you love. And if you don't, you know, find someone you love, it'll come eventually. It'll come eventually.

Don't do, like, I don't know. Don't even say that, Chad. But even if you don't have anyone you love, we love you. Yeah, we love you. And if you have a little furry pet or something, they love you too because I'm just telling you. But, you know, after the Black Lives Matter thing, we're going to do a mental health thing. It's a mental health based on COVID-19. Everything has happened.

And I know there's a lot of people out there that are struggling mentally and all that stuff. Oh, absolutely. And if you are struggling. I've been. Me too. I'm depressed today. But listen, you guys always are welcome to reach out to us. Yeah.

And if you say, look, mental health, just title it mental health, whatever you say, I will read them, I'll make sure we respond to those. And because I think that's very important. It is. But I'm also telling you, if you are having issues, which I'm still depressed and I have like freaking 20 animals, but animals do help. I'm just saying, go to your local, like, humane society, adopt a dog. That might depress you more, though, because they're going to piss all over your house. No, no, no, no, they're not. get a dog get a cat like that makes your life so like worth living i'm just saying but guys listen

final thoughts uh here's my final thoughts we are all people and and just talking about the mental health thing you know we care about everybody and and if owl or or the guy that's coming on tomorrow night which may have a different opinion than we do or or no listen or or anyone comes to me and says, hey, I'm depressed, I'm sad in my life, I don't feel like this. I'm like, look, dude, I don't give it. We're throwing out all of your opinions and my opinions, and I'm going to care about you as a person. And because at the end of the day, your life and your soul and your thoughts and your depression or whether you're happy or not is what really matters.

And I think that some people are fighting battles for different reasons. And I think some people are fighting different battles because they believe in one thing and they don't believe in other. But at the end of the day, all that matters is whether we're happy or not. And I feel like we would be so much happier if we had everyone to support each other. Yeah, exactly. This is the worst time in history to find someone that actually gives a shit. Yeah. It is the worst time in history.

And I think that's one of the most depressing things. And that's why when this guy's tomorrow night and now and everybody, it's like, come on. Let's talk. Maybe it'll help somebody. Like, I'm not, I don't want this guy to come on tomorrow night. And I don't, I don't want him to, I mean, I'm saying, I'm saying, I don't want him to come on and think that he's going to get me just trying to, like, either disprove. I want to hear his opinion, you know, I really want to hear him. Exactly.

Because we can help each other. Yeah, in a long run, all we care about is people. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. And you can call us racist or not racist or whatever, but we're not racist and we love everyone. No, no one's ever called us racist. But yeah, it's just, you know, we do. But we also talk about things that some white people, I guess, don't want to talk about it because they're scared to.

Yeah. And we're not scared to. So this is good. We're not scared to talk about it. So we're going to end this podcast with us. I still have my friends. This is by Loving Calibur. Oh, that's a good song.

And I believe all of you guys are friends, no matter what color you are, no matter what your background or opinions are. Maybe some of you listen to us from conspiracy theories. Maybe some of you listen to politics. But we love all of you no matter what. And tomorrow night we'll have another episode of Black Lives Winter, Part 2, different opinion, but it's still going to be good. Thank you, Al, so much for coming on our podcast tonight.

Thanks, Al. And until next time. And we look forward to our new friend. Yes, until next time, we love you. Mystery Man. Peace out.
