1:32 drboystv.com the home for intelligent black people uh this is a platform for those of you that want to be black and those who want black people to be better and we also go by the b1 philosophy b1 means that we must put ourselves as a top priority nobody else we will solve our own problems before we solve problems for anybody else b1 also means that we believe black people can be number one in economic intelligence financial literacy and everything in between by the year 2050 b1 also means we understand we must be one in order to be successful if you agree with that philosophy put a hashtag b and the number one in the chat b1 b1 is our calling card put that in the chat if you agree with that with the b1 philosophy also in the black business school our black core of three is that we believe black people should educate our own children create our own jobs and support black businesses so everybody please uh

2:19 let me know if you agree with that philosophy and then we can get started also hello to everybody on instagram my instagram is therealboycewatkins give me a yes on if you can hear me give me a yes in the chat if you can hear me right now because uh on my instagram i have you guys on my phone and my phone just rang and i had to i hit a button so let me know if uh if the uh if you can hear me give me a yes if you can hear me just that way i can make sure that i'm coming through okay can you hear me okay i see some yeses good thank you very much and somebody said 2050 is too long no 2050 is not too long when you talk about empire building china has a 200 year plan for their uh society i don't know if y'all know that the japanese have 200 and 300 year plans see what y'all got to understand is that if you stay ready you ain't got to get ready uh my number one statement to my kids if i bought one of my kids down and said what is the

3:05 what is the thing that boyce likes to say more than any other thing in the world you know what they would say they would say preparation is the key to success preparation is the key to success wealth and power don't come overnight it doesn't come from winning at the bingo hall or going on the casino boat and hitting hitting the lucky number wealth does not come from getting a record deal and have some white man write you a check wealth comes from long-term planning and preparation do you think that they gentrified your neighborhood by do you think they've started planning for gentrification last week give me a yes or no give me give me a yes or no do you think gentrification you think last tuesday they said hey we're going to go and gentrify all the black neighborhoods no they were planning for gentrification 50 years ago 50 years ago they plan across wealthy people playing across generations so the first step toward becoming wealthy

3:51 is to start acting like a wealthy person thinking like the think thinking the way a wealth builder thinks and a wealth builder is a long-term planner long-term planning is your first step to becoming an investor the life that i live right now and i and i'm not a guy who's on instagram flex and pretending to be happy with my life i really am happy with my life i really am happy with the amount of money i make i really am happy with the beautiful woman i married i really am happy with the fact that i lost all this weight and understand this a lot of the life i live right now is because of things i did 30 years ago things i did in 1992 play a huge impact on the things that are happening in 2021 so anybody who thinks that a 50-year plan is too long for black people have to understand that that's short that's not a long time 50 years ain't nothing when you talk about nation

4:37 building it really that the 50 that's the the baby plan the long term plan is 2 300 years into the future so come on now we got to grow up a little bit all right so do me a favor hit the thumbs up button please hit the thumbs up share subscribe button if you haven't done it yet i just had a conversation with dr claude anderson and first of all let me just stop for one moment sometimes i'm a little bit too business oriented first of all i want to say happy father's day to all the daddies out here that are doing the damn job getting it done getting it in putting it in making it happen thank you to all the biological daddies thank you to all the step daddies thank you to all the bonus daddies thank you to all the part-time neighborhood daddies thank you to all the daddies who are coaching youth football teams and mentoring little boys who don't have a daddy thank you to every black man on this planet who cares about black children

6:08 y'all want me to get to the point but i gotta go ahead and do that to let y'all know i'm not a complete nerd in terms of being focused on the task at hand because i'm really thinking about what i want to share with you i just want to take a moment to let you know that i am appreciated the moment and i love you very much all right so here's the deal so i called dr anderson today and dr anderson is my second father i have a a well actually i have three fathers i have a biological father uh a name boyce i have a father father who was my technically my stepfather but he was my real father and then i have called anderson who is my next father that is my intellectual father uh and i as spiritual i love this man immensely so i called him and wished him a happy father's day and we got to talking about black folks and let me tell you dr anderson loves black folks to the t he loves you so much he all he talks about black people

6:54 even when y'all ain't thinking even people ain't thinking about him he's thinking about black folks he's talking about even whether he's he's whether he's on speaking tour or not he's always sharing ideas about black folks and one of the things we're talking about today was this juneteenth holiday this juneteenth federal holiday now give me a yes or no if you feel a little bit weird about this juneteenth holiday give me a yes or no if you kind of feel like there's something missing here uh give me a yes or no if you kind of feel like well maybe they they skipped the step right i i don't know about y'all but i i personally felt like okay wait a minute we you we can't get you to say the word reparations but you're giving us this symbolism uh you promised to meet with ice cube after the election the buy administration promised to meet with ice cube and his his team of scholars uh he has he has a team of scholars it's not just them talking to a rapper this a this wasn't a cardi b conversation this

7:40 was a conversation with him and his team of scholars and i know these scholars they're very very bright uh they promised to meet with him after the election they did not follow through with that promise because we he and i cube and i knew it was bs from the jump we said oh yeah they they they they really plan yeah they're really going to meet us after the election yeah right yeah right right we knew it was bs they knew it was bs well guess what months later it was bs uh they haven't even talked to black lives matter i mean these are pretty much the safe negroes these are the ones who really want that integration piece they want to be on your team and you won't even talk to them so you haven't talked to black lives matter you haven't talked to ice cube's team you haven't uh talked about reparations but yet you come through with this juneteenth holiday stuff so what that's been designed to do is it's basically taking advantage of

8:26 those in the community who don't have a lot of political and economic consciousness that is they're appealing to the uh lowest common denominator in the sense of people who will just settle for anything you know it's like the guy who comes to the club and wants to meet a woman and the first woman says well you know i'm here to meet a man that i can maybe one day marry and he says no that's too much for me i don't want that responsibility and then the the the next woman he she said she says well i expect a man to treat me with respect and to commit to me at some point if it's a quality relationship he says no no i don't want all of that then another one says look i just expect a man to take me out to eat a couple times and just be nice to me you know we ain't got to be serious but i just want to be nice to me he's like no no no that's too much i can't afford who can afford to go to burger king with those prices right

9:11 but then you run into the bottom of the basement you run into that person who says i'll go sleep with you in the bathroom i just you know you just drop it like it's hot cardi b told me that that uh that if you give me a couple dollars i should shake it for you but do whatever you want he says that's my woman that's the one that i want right so basically with black folks you have different people with different standards you have different levels of standards in terms of what we expect so you got the black folks at the top who say cut the damn check and don't just make it a little check make it a big one don't make don't give us the wrong check give us the right check don't give us the tiny amount give us the real amount don't give us the little kid money we we want the big boy money right those are the people that they don't want to talk to because those people have receipts they have books like black labor white wealth written by dr claudy anderson which extensively and in detail explains the

9:58 whole reason why black people deserve reparations there's no study needed there's no reason to spend seven years looking into it dr anderson has been looking into it for 40 years and the receipts are all over the place that's a delay tactic that is a delay time that's what that's a game in politics they just delay right and then you got black folks who who say they'll take you know maybe a medium check like look we just want you to do something just do something that we can touch and feel and and that's okay too i'm not dismissing those individuals at all uh because because i can get that i understand why you might be in that category and say look we don't get 15 trillion but we'll take 5 trillion or maybe even 2 trillion 3 trillion whatever i don't agree but that's fine right and then you get another tier below where you maybe get black folks that want maybe some federal subsidies and small business loans and things like that and then you get black folks that just

10:43 don't want nothing they don't want nothing except the possibility that they can go to the grocery store and have white folks uh sell them you know sell them some beef jerky without calling them the n-word or they want to celebrate the idea that they can go work for a white man's company for the rest of their lives and leave nothing to their children or maybe that they can go and live in a white neighborhood or or maybe they could go to a big white university and have white folks bring them in and let them you know maybe i don't know maybe take a class on critical race theory or something and no disrespect to that i'm not disrespecting that right but but but really they're not really at the same space we are to some extent people like us are a little bit radical i think the b1 philosophy is a lot for people to take in i don't think it should be but but you know because i think putting yourself at the top of the priority list is okay i think it's okay

11:29 to be black first but some people think that's a little bit too much we're asking for too much and i think that those people that are at the bottom of the barrel the ones that they're appealing to with this juneteenth holiday uh because here's the deal here's the deal the juneteenth holiday is symbolism that's all it is pretty much that's pretty much all it is i mean you know there is that added benefit that it is a federal holiday which means you get to take off work fine um you're gonna start seeing it become corporatized you're gonna have you know uh the juneteenth mattress sale at your local you know mattress company right you are gonna have these stupid june dinners at these racist universities that don't even hire black people they don't hire any black people they use up black athletes and take you know a billion dollars in wealth out of the black community every year i don't have a lot of respect for black folks in general don't want to talk to black folks like

12:15 me or dr anderson or or a fair con type person but they will sit there and have a juneteenth dinner with you on campus and make you feel like everything's okay for that particular day right and they'll talk about little polite little things like microaggressions and how you can be more racially sensitive as and and in their mind they're like yeah let's just be nicer as long as we get to keep all the money as long as we keep all the power as long as we are driving the car as long as we are controlling the campus as long as we are controlling the corporations as long as we are controlling the media as long as we are controlling the resources then let's just be nicer to our slaves let's be nicer to our black people that come work for us because it ain't right to be mean to black people so instead of actually giving black folks the big boy money and and partnership status in this country economically speaking

13:01 they say well we'll write a nice little check you know a 100 billion dollar corporation will write a check for 500 000 and they know that people who ain't got nothing are gonna be thankful they're gonna say thank you sir and they're gonna go on about their day right that's fine i'm not dogging that but that's not who i am right i i know the receipts i know finance i know money i know wealth and i know when you're playing me i i just know right so anyway um as i move forward do me a favor hit the thumbs up button hit the thumbs up share subscribe button and i want to remind you guys that i have a book that you can have for free it's called it takes a village to raise the bar and it lays out my 50-year vision for the black community i think it's a great book for your family uh feel free to go take a look at all black economics dot com the urls on the screen that's all black economics dot com hit the thumbs up button take that take one second hit the thumbs up button and put a b1 in the chat after you hit the thumbs up button so

13:47 let me uh let me first of all summarize what dr anderson said and then i'm going to read to you what he told me to read to you and this is from his book called the black history reader this should be the first history book that your children read it's the black history reader you can get a copy at his website powernomics.com uh and uh and so the uh the first thing he said is that that juneteenth um pretty much was just a military tactic uh it was a military tactic where black people just like today were used as pawns in a battle between the liberals and the conservatives now how often have you seen that happen where black folks are used as a pawn to win an election or as a as a as a tool in a major power play right the liberals and conservatives are

14:33 going back and forth the liberals are saying uh that the conservatives are going to kill you the conservatives are saying the liberals are running a plantation and you're kind of going back and forth back and forth back and forth right you're literally like a whole trying to pick which pimp you want to go work for like when your [ __ ] chose me no you know no don't [ __ ] call me right like it becomes literally like that movie like the goldie the pimp arguing over which guy owns this woman right when really she should be owning herself right really she should be walking out of that whole situation but maybe her self-esteem isn't intact like a lot of our people so they're scared to kind of say i'm just going to be b1 i will i want to own me you're not owning none of this right but but that's what they do so so basically this game has been going on for hundreds of years it isn't just something that just started uh this week it's not something that

15:19 just started in the last election it's something that has been going on since forever and so basically what you have what you have with juneteenth and the the origins of it was the liberals the people in the north your so-called friends were basically saying okay how do we hurt the people in the south how do we hurt the conservatives they said oh i know what we can do we can free their slaves we can declare all their slaves to be free right and that's going to hurt them that's going to undermine their power so so we know the game right they didn't do it because they love us they didn't do it because they felt like slavery was just horribly wrong i mean there are black people being lynched in the north i don't know if y'all know that when black folks came up north and were taking jobs from white folks when they were taking jobs away from people that felt that those jobs belong to them where they were challenging their white entitlement they were

16:05 killing those black people in new york don't think that because you go into them with do you understand when i went from kentucky to new york i thought i was going to a place where the white folks are nicer up there and some of them are very nice people don't get me wrong i'm not saying that i hate white folks i'm not saying i hate anybody i don't have time to hate nobody but do you understand that i ran into more racism up there than i saw back home i said i ain't this a [ __ ] wait a minute y'all supposed to be our friends but you're not acting like my friend right now you're acting a little bit like an oppressor so this is a tradition this is a tradition so one thing dr anderson said is that juneteenth was pretty much a military tactic it's nothing but symbolism he mentioned uh he said two billion acres i gotta double check that of land that was given away mostly to immigrants and now 2 billion acres

16:51 sounds like a lot of land so i wonder how many acres of land are in the us let me see the us has 2.43 billion acres of land so yeah 2 billion sounds like an accurate number so what he was basically saying i'm going to extrapolate on this and assume that what he meant is that we should be getting some of that 2 billion i'll take 1 billion how about you how about this how about we vote amongst intelligent black people if they if they offered to give us a billion acres of land how many of y'all would be okay with that would you all take a billion acres of land right that would be yeah there's 40 million of us i don't know what's that times 50 is that the number yeah 50 acres so that's 50 acres in the mule i think 40 acres plus interest right maybe but we deserve a lot more interest in that but i would take a billion acres of land that would be a nice a nice federal proclamation

17:36 would you agree i that that would be that would make me happy and so uh he says also so he says that basically the immigration was used to harm you uh the immigration policies in the united states were used to dilute your votes uh to the point where eventually your votes won't mean anything uh because you're voting for your own demise they're getting you to vote for open borders which ultimately will lead to you um being discriminated against not just by white people in the united states but you'll be discriminated against by white people who came from south of the border uh one of the things people don't understand and this is not me being negative or trying to be the [ __ ] in the room is that if you go to latin america you will find that the racism there is worse than it is in the united states if you go to brazil you will find that they hate black people more than they even hate black people here

18:22 they have millions of black people in brazil that they don't even put on tv so the point of the matter is to say that anybody who makes you think that there is some sort of broad coalition between black people and every single person who comes from latin america that's nonsense it doesn't mean that there's not a coalition or potential connection with let's say um afro-latina uh folks right black folks who are from latin america who are like us who go through what we've gone through that coalition is real but the the idea that some blonde hair blue-eyed person can come from colombia and connect with you because you're black that is just not true right so just make sure you don't go through life thinking that because you're going to be wrong now one other thing dr henson mentioned that i did not know is he mentioned that there were actually five did give me a yes or no if you knew this there were five emancipation proclamations did you all know that

19:07 there were five different emancipation proclamations uh where black folks were proclaimed to be free right and that was just a little factoid and he asked me specifically to read from his book of the black history reader which everybody should read uh it on page 109 and i'm going to read it what he does is he answers a series of black history questions that they'll never give you the answers to in school so if you want your child to be versed on black history i encourage you to have them read this book and have them memorize the answers to all these questions because that would be an adequate history lesson for them so hit the thumbs up button please hit the thumbs up share subscribe button and my instagram is the real boyce watkins is right there so follow me on instagram if you haven't done it yet and uh hit that thumbs up button and put a b1 in the chat once you're done i'm gonna read this to you it says this on page 109 of the black history reader it says considering the fact that in the 21st century blacks are

19:53 still treated as a socio-economic underclass and political outgroup the real legal status of blacks in america is unclear history reveals that since the founding of this country there were numerous emancipation proclamations that proposed to end slavery and set blacks free however none in fact did that the nation's first emancipation proclamation was proposed by lord dunmore the british royal governor of virginia in november 1775 on the eve of the american revolutionary war lord dunmore offered freedom to any slave who would take up arms against the colonies and fight with the british troops again black folks being used as a pawn right he didn't lord dunmore didn't he

20:38 could he could have freed the slave last tuesday right he could he could have done it he could have did it the week before but he didn't he did it then because he said man we need these we need these negroes that they will be an excellent pawn in our uh epic battle to fight and and to preserve our power right so so you are consistently used as a pawn for power right so you got to understand this is not new it says lord done offer it okay so three months later fearful of the harmed of the harm armed and angry slaves were bringing to european white colonists lord dunmore reconsidered and withdrew his emancipation proclamation of freedom black so even lord dunmore this man who was your friend because you but even back then you probably have black people saying yeah hey y'all they trying to help us lord done boy is our friend we all call him uncle dunmore

21:24 that's my buddy even your buddy lord dunmore who who filed the first emancipation proclamation he said oh wait a minute he had a he had a fear of a black planet he said wait a minute if we give guns to these black people they might use those guns that's not good so he withdrew the emancipation proclamation again this this person that was supposed to be your friend wasn't really your friend how how often have we seen that nearly a century later in 1852 a second emancipation proclamation was drafted in response to nat turner's letting that turner's slave revolt so uh nat turner has a slave revolt they draft another emancipation proclamation in 1852 turner's revolt shook the nation especially the southern

22:10 slave-holding states so when they see black men stand up when they see black men stand up as men that scares everybody that scares everybody so that turner stood up like a man i say to nat turner type net turner in the chat god bless him let's bring him in the room he needs to hear this so frightened by the successful slave revolt in haiti and that turner's revolt in virginia many southern slave holders indicated a willingness to end black enslavement and resettle blacks into africa texas or the caribbean islands y'all hear that did y'all hear that so they said that because matt turner stood up because he he wasn't but broken he bucked up on him and in haiti they bucked up on him that's what happens when you punch the bully in the mouth the bully starts to reconsider

22:55 whether or not bullying is an adequate strategy right so tucson and that bucked up they showed them what a real man looks like and they said you know maybe we should probably not try to enslave this group of people because apparently there's some real men up in the bunch see so black man dear black man when you start bucking up and start showing your manhood they're gonna say uh maybe maybe tyrone's not fit for slavery maybe maybe we need to make another arrangement and then they said we need to get these negroes out of here they said we don't want them to be our neighbors because we're scared because white guilt's kicking in they're thinking my god if i were them i would want to kill me so they said look let's freedom let's send them to africa texas or the

23:40 caribbean islands shortly thereafter the mere thought of over four million angry armed blacks in the streets quickly galvanized virginia legislators to offer what constituted a third emancipation proclamation that proposed simply to abolish slavery ironically nearly half of virginia's legislators voted to abolish slavery in virginia the birthplace of black american slavery they came just a few votes short of ending slavery and preventing the civil war that followed so they came real close to doing the right thing now now mind you pay attention now here's what i'm picking up on this as i'm reading this i have not read this chapter yet but this is this is my processing of this what drove them to do the right thing was not the fact that it was just the right

24:26 thing to do they weren't driven to do the right thing because they held hands and saying we shall overcome with you at the local church they weren't driven to do the right thing because you you had a march in a protest in the streets they were driven to do the right thing because you stood up and said i'm gonna make you if you don't make yourself an honest man today i'm gonna make you an honest man by putting this foot square up your ass that that's my type of civil rights movement right there that's my type of that that's my that this is the black history they don't teach you in school that how many of you have ever had a white teacher in history class ever teach you any of this how many of you have ever had anybody teach you anything like this at

25:12 all give me a yes in the chat give me a no if you have it i bet none of you have ever had a white history teacher ever teach you this part of black history you probably don't even know that there's more than one emancipation proclamation but i thought there was just one abraham lincoln decided that he wants to free the slaves and there was a statue of him petting a slave on the head like a damn dog you might have seen that statue where the slave is down like this and abraham lincoln's petting him on the head i think i saw i could have swore i saw like no you don't know no i saw a mural of abraham lincoln when i went to howard university man y'all got to get rid of that come on now give me a break but what made them pass these laws was the fact that black people stood up do you understand they did this out of fear you know again this is this is how you deal with a bully you don't deal with a

25:58 bully by trying to negotiate and be polite and become friends what you do is you you let the bully know how i'd like to be your friend but since you're choosing another form of diplomacy how about i come up and just stab you in the testicles and then we'll just see how how that bullying thing is working out for you i might still get my ass whooped but you gonna bleed too and that's what matt turner did for you that's the that's the legacy this man left for you sure he died early he did like my grandfather that went out you know i told you about my grandfather albert sanders who hit the white man upside the hill with a brick because he called his wife the n-word and stepped on her foot and and then they lynched him they killed him but i'm talking about albert 100 years later because he died as a man and i'm very proud of that if he lived as a coward i probably wouldn't even know who he was

26:45 so so just know that sometimes going out for the right reason is better than living a shameful pathetic life hit the thumbs up button please hit the thumbs up button i'm gonna keep reading this and i gotta go pick up my daughter today's my birthday and we gotta we're doing birthday party stuff but i i but y'all i love y'all and i gotta come i i love dr anderson i talked to him he shared this i wanted to share it while i was fresh uh he's not feeling well that's why he can't come in right now but the minute he feels better he will be back uh but i i told him i said anything you need um i i'm here for you so here's i'm gonna read the rest of you it says a few years later on january 1st 1863 after the civil war had begun president abraham lincoln reluctantly offered the well-known fourth emancipation proclamation dead that did not free a single black slave

27:31 even though it was symbolic it gave blacks some sense of hope which they recall annually on juneteenth day contrary to what so many blacks believe pay attention that he's given you the facts here contrary to what so many blacks believe abraham lincoln signed the well-known emancipation proclamation in an effort to save the union not out of love or compassion for black slaves so again just like in the 2020 presidential election 200 years ago you were also being used as a pawn you were always upon in somebody else's bigger battle so so he was trying to save the union they said lincoln's proclamation was a propaganda ploy to lift the spirits of the tired union troops as well as expecting blacks

28:18 the proclamation announced that all persons held as slaves within any state in the rebellion against the united states were henceforth forever free president lincoln had no control over the rebelling southern states and had no constitutional authority to abolish slavery in the loyal states consequently black slaves actually had to wait until the end of the civil war and the passage of the 13th amendment to the u.s constitution before they gained quasi freedom so the emancipation proclamation did not free you that is a fact get mad if you want to but that is a fact we have receipts let's take a moment and process that please because i kind of need us to think about this before we start kind of just moving on

29:03 and acting like we didn't just hear something that was really significant in our lives now let's go to the fifth emancipation proclamation please hit the thumbs up button a fifth emancipation proclamation was proposed by the southern confederacy in the closing months of the civil war some of its most prominent leaders wanted to use their emancipation proclamation to recruit black slaves to fight the civil war on behalf of the south again use you as a pawn right we're going to give you quasi-freedom or promise you something in exchange for you coming to help us get more power general robert e lee and jefferson davis the president of the southern confederacy the south that the confederacy had an emancipation proclamation so let me read this again general robert e lee and jefferson davis the president of the

29:49 southern confederacy you know the ones with the dixie flags announced in their emancipation proclamation willingness to free the slaves in exchange for official recognition from the north that the south was an independent and sovereign territory the north refused even so the confed the southern confederacy finally decided to set blacks free but by then it was too late the war was over and the southern confederacy had lost five different emancipation proclamations were proposed but none of them actually ended slavery each of the above five-man emancipation proclamations was issued for a specific purpose of the issuer but none ever went into a fact nor ended slavery the proclamations excited blacks but did not free them they how familiar is that they give you

30:36 something that got you screaming praises in the the pews of the church that's jesus got you all excited got you all emotionally invested in a big ball of nothing they feed you a big gigantic 50 pound nothing burger and you feel like you eating a steak dinner or a delicious meal and you are eating a big burger made out of nothing so since so it says also here i'm gonna read this last part the proclamations excited blacks but did not free them this is the reason the 13th amendment to the u.s constitution was necessary even then the freedom offered was tenuous qualified and led to jim crow semi-slavery so really you still ain't free you really you still ain't free and and and i mean but process this for a moment

31:23 this last paragraph is a trump that they the the actual the only emancipation proclamation out of the five that was actually executed was executed in the south in the south and again using you as a pawn to get power for themselves so that's a that's actually a good thing and it's a it's a bad thing but it's a good thing in an awkward kind of way so here's what i'm seeing right now the north and the south are going back and forth at it with each other so the north says hey negros if you help us out we'll give you a better deal and then the south says well well if you help us out we'll give you an even better deal well i i don't think that's too terrible i think that's actually that's what you call negotiation that's

32:09 what you call using your leverage maybe i don't know i mean because i think about this right you you think about when ice cube was meeting with the binding administration and and they were saying we're not gonna give you nothing because we don't owe you nothing but then he said okay well i'm gonna talk to the other side and see what they'll do and so then they come along and they say well we'll give you half we'll give you this you know we'll give you a big infrastructure plan i figured how many billions of dollars it was or whatever right again i i don't know again maybe they were bs and maybe they were lying i don't know i don't remember the exact numbers but but they were negotiating because they were in a tug of war and black people had the leverage we were the tipping point we are the only major voting bloc that exists in america so the direction of our vote can change the direction of the country malcolm x said that 60 years ago this

32:55 ain't nothing new malcolm said that go read his speech the ballot or the bullet that's what he says he says you have the power to change the whole election but you don't want to go and actually negotiate you're like well if i talk to the conservatives that means they're gonna call me a trump supporter no you're not a trump supporter unless they earn your support but my god the worst way on earth to ever negotiate anything is to commit to something when nothing has been promised to you do you understand in every negotiating book ever written they will tell you that that is the dumbest way on earth to negotiate is to over commit i taught stock options at syracuse university first thing that we teach them is that options always

33:40 have a non-negative value that when you have options you have something of value so when somebody takes away your options or you give your options away you should be compensated for that they should be paying you for that you give your options away for nothing what is wrong with you how stupid and crazy do you have to be to give your option away for nothing that's my conversation on juneteenth i don't hate the holiday i'm so happy that you get the day off i swear to god i have no reason to hate the juneteenth holiday or to say juneteenth is for suckers or if you celebrate juneteenth you're stupid the word juneteenth does not offend me

34:25 at all i think that's fine but what i'm simply saying is that juneteenth is like receiving it's like it's like uh my brother uh i think it was either said cedric mohammed or derek or or wesley muhammad i can't move his brother i i was a brother from the nation i gotta go find out who it was so i can give him credit he said that if you go to a restaurant and you order a steak dinner and then they bring you the gravy you're gonna say that's not what i ordered you're not gonna sit down and have a dinner of gravy and act like everything's okay you're gonna say i'm sorry that's not what i ordered please bring me my steak and my baked potatoes well the juneteenth holiday is in that category that's like

35:11 getting gravy when that's not what black people ordered you didn't order a juneteenth federal holiday you ordered reparations that's what you ordered you ordered some other things you your reparations is near the top of that list of things you ordered so they're delivering something to you that you did not order because what they're delivering to you is something that is called symbolism and symbolism has no price there is no challenge for them to deliver to you more symbolism because that's what they've been feeding you for hundreds and hundreds of years do you get what i am saying do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth well i'm gonna go i shouldn't be getting this mad on my birthday and i and i gotta get out of here i'm gonna spend time with my family but i wanted to share this message because i spoke to dr anderson today
