Don't Drink the Kool-Aid

I'm going to address on this episode. Um, there's a couple of areas that I don't like to spend a whole lot of time on, and that's politics and religion. But some things politically affects all of us. And that's why I did my episode last week called Big Text Censorship,

because this is an ongoing issue in America. More, I guess receipts that Elon Moss had released again on Monday might be another dump again on Day, but the last two weeks more receipts about the censorship, about shadow banning, and about the big tech interfering in the election by

silencing messages that are in opposition to the Democratic Party. So, um, I'm gonna address those uh questions I got from the mail bag Malik's mail Bag But I'm also releasing an interview I've done with Commander Dale Brown, who wrote a book called The Detroit Urban Survival Chronicles Protection survival stories of domestic abuse, death, robbery, and violence. So I interviewed him. He also came to Malik Books and did a demonstration on tactics, uh, how to evade a knife, a gun

and things of that type. And it was very impressive because with very little force and certain pressure points on your body, you know, you can do push around someone twice as big as you with very little ease, and you can remove a gun and a knife if you if you're in a position to defend yourself from someone who's attacking you. But this was an extraordinary interview of someone who has over thirty years experience of defending the community.

So I'm gonna feature that interview on here. And I'm also gonna talk about the Win of wonder Land event that we hosted this last week. We did a Win the winter Land book giveaway, so stay tuned for this epl toe, which I'm gonna call Don't Drink the kool Aid, Don't Drink the kool Aid, Big Day, the Big Day. Commander Dale Brown is at Maliegue Books and as always I gotta interview them from a podcast, Maliek's bookshow, bringing

the world together with books, culture and community. The name of the book is Detroit Urban Survival Chronicles, Protecting survivals stories of domestic abuse, death, robbery and violence. Well, Dale, let's jumped right into it. You know, Um, talk to me about what a reader can find in this book and why this book is so important in this era

that we live in. In A reader is going to find in this book the actual stories of how we used our system, the training system I created and why I created it, because it talks about the violence UH that was being perpetrated by violent criminals, violent individuals, and gangs, and then how we actually rescue people and protected families from these gangs and how we still do this very day. So right now, my company protects UH approximately five thousand

families UH twenty four day, seven days a week. And we started to me seven years ago. And so what this book is about is just telling the stories of how and why the training system exists and how the training UH is gonna help you protect yourself from your family because it helped us. So it's literally the how to book how to create safety safely for your family,

for your community, your corporation, anywhere in the world. Well, share your background because obviously you offering a lot of strategic tactical you know, things that can help people survive, saving their lives and so forth. So talk to them about your background because I think that's important. Yes, my background is uh uh in a lot of different martial arts.

So I trained a lot of martial arts. I was a kid to one adulthood, uh, and then I was licensed prive investigator when I got of the military, and I was airborn paratroupe from the military. So what I did was I mixed together several different knowledges, and that was areas of knowledge that was primarily the understanding of the skill set from that I learned from martial arts.

Then uh some of the disciplines from from the military, and then I mixed that with my understanding of law, because in order for you defend yourself legally, you have to know the law, otherwise what you're doing could be considered illegal. So really good people that are not the bad guys are actually in prison right now simply because it could not articulate their use of force properly. So my original reason, my impetus for teaching was I thought

would be a great business. The reason I switched from a business model to a community service model was because this girl got chased off a bridge. Her name was Delete Award. She was snatched out of a car in front of crowd of people, her and her daughter, teenage daughter in her car. They pulled the mother out, they stripped her clothes as three men they stripped river close. She jumped off the bridge, the Bellow Bridge, to escape these men, and she died in the water as a result.

And I thought, if I had some people on that on that bridge, if I had trained the mother, then I could have provided them with the knowledge they needed to protect themselves and stop the horrible event from happening. And I didn't, I know, I had no way to get to them because at that time I was just teaching my system to those who could afford it, and so I was teaching downtown Detroit. I just created some students.

I started building up a good student um group, diverse group, and Uh, I decided that was not important when that girl got changed to the bridge. What what made me UH realize that my life's purpose was that I'm in Detroit, and I believe that's what my purpose was, to be the person could bring the knowledge. And then when I end up on the East Side, purpose is important, purposes everything.

So now I believe that was my purpose. And then so I go to train the people, and then I find out something else that even if I trained the people, if they're dealing with a gang, they need more than just training. So I created an organization from the streets Detroit by getting volunteers from the neighborhood. I got them free apartments from the building owners. I made a deal

with the building owner. Uh, that's really rich to say, you give me a firm, give me a facilities so I can use a school, give me one free apartment each building, and I will uh stop these home invasion murders that are killing your um prosperity. The first time I mentioned to him, he said, no, he's not interested. He's he's rich, but he's not also rich because he doesn't waste money. He doesn't spend money on the people

that are paying him. So there's not enough lighting, there's not good doors, there's no security essentially for the people who live there. And we're talking about ten buildings and one square block proxibly five hundred homes, and uh, of those you're at a vacancy. So you're talking about, you know, uh, two or fifty families. When you should have a thriving community a five hundred dwellings filled. You have two fifty

dwellings filled in this in this one square block. And what I did was I told the building owner, you know I can help. He said he wasn't interested. He said to him, it doesn't make sense that one guy with a dog and a rifle could do something that the charge Detroit Police Department could not do. For the twenty years that he's been owning these building. He said, he's not making any money, so he doesn't not interested in spending money on safety for these for the people

live there. And I said, well, you know, I get your point. And I thought about it. I was like, wait, what what could one person do with a dog and a rifle the police department care? I was like, man, that doesn't make sense. I was like, what am I thinking? You got to make him a believer? No, I I didn't believe. Now. I was like, right, that was a good question, All right, I could be killed out here

I didn't think about it. I was like, well, you know what, I was going to die as an airborne paratrooper. I was going to give up my life for no good reason. So I would definitely be doing doing myself a good service and the community good service if I died for these families, they might have one if I killed even one of these criminals were killing the families, right, These are rapist, Robert, murderous individuals and games. If I would have died killing them, was that's what would happen, Bob,

what I thought it was gonna happen. I thought that they were going to escalate the level of force with firearms and knives and guns and multile aggressors to the point where I have to kill them, and in that process I was going to be killed. So I believe that was going to happen. So I didn't believe there was gonna be a future. So we're talking about nineties. When I discovered that there was no protection, There was

no one coming. The entire the entire protection was me and whatever volunteers like, right, And I didn't think that. I thought it was the police. I thought, you, all that we need to do is call the police, and then we tell the police what happened. The police can come there, and then police can provide us with the safety that we needed. But when you call the police, they might come the next day. That's correct or not

at all, based on level of threat. That's for that's being UH conveyed to them through the nine one system. So instead of complaining, what I did was I created this this alternative option, which is VIPERS. VIPER stands for Violence Intervention Protective Emergency Response System. It's a bodyguard training system, and I got volunteers in the community. I convinced the building owner give me six months. I said, you lost seventy thousand dollars last month when the girl got murdered.

And usually always girls getting murdered, almost always menners getting shot. Girls are getting murdered. But every time that happens, this guy loses about seventy thousand income. And I found this out from the building owners UH secretary manager. She told me he lost seventy thousand last month. People moved out when the girl got murdered. So I said, you know what, let me, let me do what I can do for you. So it's not that it's what is there's no protection,

so it's not crime infested. What's happening is because there's no protection, there's no one to keep people alive. That means that if your daughter's being threatened, your son is being threatened, your family is being threatened, then there's no one to stop you from from actually being killed by the people threatening you. So it's not urban violence, it's really uh the opportunity is being built for them that

are predatory. In some cases is just misunderstandings. Other times just abusive people that have no uh, no one to tell them to stop and then when to stop them. So essentially what I did was I got to building owner and I said, give me six months to stop your losses. Give me six months stop at home invasion murders. He was like, you know what, I don't believe it's gonna work, but I'll give you six months. So I got a free apartment, I got a free office, I got two thousand a month, and I got a free

apartment and ten buildings. And then I got volunteers in the community and I trained them and they got a free apartment and I trained that. We trained every day all day. You only have to protect their building and then they respond if necessary. And then we had you know, ten people you know always said these people in and so it was concentrating. I didn't have any money, right, was just nothing for dog food and supplies and equipment. Right,

So we were successful. Then we stopped all the home invasion and murders and as a result, the police department had nine one calls go down from three hundred down to thirty a month. And that was me because we always called police for every situation. And if police get there before we you know, we have to take action,

that's fine. But what happens is normally, um, whatever situation is, we'll call the police for whatever violence screaming, someone chasing someone, uh, someone kicking in someone's door, we have to take actions which called it's called action circumstances. Due to action circumstances, we have to protect someone. That means legally we're taking action now as vigilantes, now, as usurping authority, we're going into uh protect someone because there was no other choice.

We already called the police. The police cannot be here yet, so in in in the interim period before the police can arrive, we protect the family. Okay, you de escalating whatever we physically dominated, threat, beat them down, shoot them staff and whatever needs to be done. Were we done before the police get there, if it's necessary, or save life? So nothing, So we're talking. Uh so you confront them with with violence too. We confront them with extreme violence,

not violence of extreme violence. Their their level of violence was significant less than ours. So I came to them with thirty rounds, with laser, flashlight, scope and all guys unnecessary things so that they could be petrified of the reality of a negative decision. And as a result, we were able to shock their brain into believing they could not win. So now they don't look at me as a woman, child, old person or someone they could believe that.

This went viral. This went viral because now in its whole community talking about the potential of extreme violence being met with their violence and them being untrained, now that they're thinking twice about making moves, Well, what it is that not just untrained? There? There there what drives them as low priority. So for them, there the rape, robbing, and murdering families because they have opportunity. Once they believe there's no opportunity, once they believe it's been denied, they

don't want to do it anymore. So what I offered them was pain and suffering. Right, I offer them immediacy. I'm gonna respond right now when when the senior citizens are calling, when the single moms are calling about being um home invaded and raped by a female gang, I'm gonna respond right now, when men are laying in the weight to attack females in the building, When there are men in the building that are assaulting people going in their homes without even masks, they wouldn't even They're not

even like they're not trying to get away. They would knock on your door and tell you to check it in to to rob you in a group of men like you can't you know, like it's like a weird movie. Like in a movie the bad guys like trying to get away. These guys are walts waltzing. They were not even trying. This is there's no threat. And when when the police got there, there was still no threat. Which

I'm a carjacking eighty year old man. There's a storybo eight year old man and getting car jacked in here, and the police, uh, they showed up and the eight year old man was just told to go to the the apartment with bleeding mouth, and uh, the guy who who Who's who? Pistol whipped him? Who I have a rifle on in the hallway. When the police get there, he was allowed to leave and go downstairs into an apartment each other. They were not interested in enforcing laws in

any these situations. And what I did instead was I decided that instead of blaming the police or being a victim, I decided to take charge of the situation and create a change, positive change. So I explained to them that this will no longer be tolerated. We're not going to have that. It's a good place for families to lives. Where I live. My rightful covers from here to here to here to here, So all these streets are covered.

These for streets. You're gonna do Mayham where somewhere else, but on these streets right here where I live, you're gonna not be able to harm these families. Twenty far as day, seven days a week. I can sum that up. Never be to the aggressive, but fight with those who fight with you, Yes, And what that means that you have to So if I want them not to aggress, I may have to make them believe that they will not win. If they believe they can win, they're gonna

try and they can't win. Therefore I'd be actually setting them up to to have to kill them. So I can all say is that in the community, cleaning up the community, I was able to do it without killing anyone there. So in that community where I start on the east Side, which they called crack Alley, this area was so bad they just believe. They just believe it couldn't change. The people live there believe it, and the

police believe it could not change. And so once I got rid of those nine one calls, the police started supporting us. The police were like, well, whatever you do, and I'm not getting any legal complaints. There's no federal complaints, there's no state complaints, there's no lawsuits against police department. So I'm going to you know, the police department began to support us very positive as a result of Yeah, as as a result of the fact that we were

creating positive for the community in general. And when you create a safe place for the families, that occupancy goes from to a waiting list. That means that what you do by protecting the people is you create prosperity. So you make rich people richer by making poor people safer. Say that again, you make rich people richer by making poor people safer. So that's never heard that before. But

that's profound. That's profound. That that's purpose of the book to share with you how that happens, because it's a naturally occurring outcome. So I'm not a nonprofit. I get money for protecting rich people. Rich people fund everything I do. I started with a dog and a rifle and no money. Now I got boats and armored vehicles on kinds of cars and things. Prosperity right, But that came from that came from protecting people. So successfully protecting people means there's

a profit. So I don't need any handouts. I don't need anything from the government. No one gives me anything. I don't have any loans. And when you loan me anything, I built it through sweat equity. So the money I have comes from creating positive conditions for wealthy people. I make them pay a great deal of money to get

no discounts. They pay double. Rich people pay double. That's my rule, and then I have money left over to protect all people, doesn't matter where they live, what their religion is, what their ethnicity is we protect all kinds of people in all communities, and we don't just protect you in Detroit. So we're ex The first prosecutor's office to actually ask us to protect people for free was Oakland County, and openly County is the richest community in Michigan.

And these are women that are being tortured and terror terrorized and and uh attempted to be murdered by men that are wealthy, and they're in the suburbs, and there's no one to protect them out there either. We just think there is. There's no protection no matter where you live. When someone's coming to kill you, it's you and the killer,

and the police can get there if they can. And police do get there, that's great, But unfortunately, the way crime works and violence, violence is here and now, and the police are gonna be coming for somewhere else. So you look at active shooters, most act shooters are killed by themselves, that are killed by responders. First responders are their way after the response, and so it's just it's just the way where it's not the police are bad

or slow. It's the reality that no matter how fast the police get there, it's not gonna be fast enough to give example, in one of the home invasion situations, I got there in seven minutes as five minute went into a ladies house it was actually a paying client. Seven minutes, which is pretty fast. Uh. When I got there, there were three police cars and there's about ten officers already there. They beat me there by five minutes. They got to this house within two and a half three

minutes of the alarm going off. They had left a raid uh to two blocks down from this house, so when the call came in they said to go two blocks over to respond to a home invasion. By the time they got there, with engines blaring, so you know they're flooring. You can hear the engines from you know, a mile away. So by the time they floored and got to the house, the criminals all heard the police cars coming and just took off and all scattered around

the area they call. They didn't catch anyone. So that's an example of even being very fast to response situation, he still are not gonna win. That's why what's what matters is protection. If we don't want someone to do crime, to rape robin murder people, we have to go there before they rape Robin murder and prevent the rape, roberty, murder. And if we want our police to do that, we

need to reward them for that. So that's something that we hope to hopefully support the futures, having businesses help support paying police officers bonuses for the things you want them to do, including training them. So I have a

training program for how you're gonna beat the robert. How are you gonna beat the robbert to the crime where he already premeditating the plotting and planet right, And that's where you beat him at in the plotting and planet So if they don't believe they can rob, rape, and kill someone, they don't you have to beat them in their belief system. So the number of robberies in this mall of stores is probably very low. Why they don't believe they can get into the mall and get out

of them all safely, so they don't do that. The same store being somewhere else could easily be robbed because it's inside of them all. So being inside of the mall gives you a degree of safety simply because the criminals don't know how they can get in and then get out. So we tactically using fear as a deterrent. Fear is that the deterrent they have to fear consequences. The moment they believe there's no consequences, they're actually going

to try. So once you tell someone you know it's not that's not against the law, you can do that to someone and then you can't get caught. Most likely, once they even believe that, whether it's true or not, they're going to try something. So they have to believe that there's no opportunity. We call opportunity denial. Opportunity denial is the way to create safety safely. So once you create the idea that opportunity exists, you're actually creating violence.

You're creating conflicts. That's kind of what's taking place in society right now with the UH. If you don't if you don't have a thousand dollars, you're still in I think you have to still more than a thousand dollars to even be arrested. I think that that creates a center correct if you if they know personals they can't get arrested, they're gonna be doing anything. But it's a bottom line. So what you gotta do is make it more difficult for them to UH be able to get access.

So for example, if their glass here, if you have two doorways and you have to buzz them in or buzz them out, that's how you stop people from coming in and snatch stuff. They can't be but they gotta be buzzed out. Therefore they can't get out. So they know that. So what do is happen? Most while people there and then try to block the door? Right, one person block door, So you have to make sure that you have so far apart that you can block the door. That's at Walmart. I think they shed it all about

four hundred million dollars. Well, most of the most of their theft is internal. Remember that. So in big companies eighty percent of shrink is internal. So every dollar they're talking about, remember eight of those dollars, it's really them, their employees doing that. So the managers working with security, working with these people. Where those people, not all of them, just like this store. So remember that theft is internal

in all organizations, uh, in all types of companies. Okay, so one more, This book is about one thing, how you can learn from our journey over the past twenty seven years, UH to help you make good decisions for you and your family. But you're learning the actual stories from how we used our system and you can use it for your family, for your community as well. Commanded Brow appreciate and in interview about the Urban Survival Chronicles,

the question is does the strategies work? They didn't. There will be no book. And you heard it from Commander Brown right here on my leak book show. Appreciate you, my brother. We had an amazing turnout at the Winter Wonderland book giveaway, overwhelming turnout from the community. The ball and Hills Creenshaw applies. The mall was just transformed into a community hub where people came from all over to get books, toys, the slad, the dance to to walk

um the mall and participate in many different activities. And it was just a fun event, a festive event, a family event, and we had such a wonderful time. Yeah. We also hosted a book signing at Posting Beans where Kevin Powe, he's a controupuning author, journalist Um he Um had done his fifteen book called Grocery Shopping with My Mother. I would have interviewed him, but it was just too loud, so I told him I'll do it another time. Because

it was just overwhearming turnout at the Posting Beans. It was a brunch in books signing and his book just came out and so we have signed copies that Meleek Books. So please pick up your copy. Kevin poue um Pole, he's been uh once again. This is fifteen books, a book about poetry and his relationship and inspiration that he got from his mother, you know. And but back to the winter wonderland at the Ball and Hills Clean Shaw Mall and Moleek Books giveaway in partnership with Beyond the

Dormant Book Club, we had such a wonderful day. I had tutoring company out Cahol Terrific Tutors and they gave out UM free tutoring for our youth and Melik Books and Beyond the Dormant Book Club gave away books. People were shocked and amazed of all the different books that we had on display that we were able to give out. Um. They were new books that wasn't used and people just was amazed and thankful. And so we give all things and glory to God, you know, and everyone who helped

make this day possible. UM as a youth organization and now probably called as Bigger than us. They did a real big big thing, a big job and a good job and transforming that mall totally into um where where thousands of dolluarsand people just came out and had such a wonderful time. And and um, we're just grateful and thankful to do our part, which is the book giveaway. And and it was an amazing response for that, you know,

amazing response. I understand that they might give out around twelve thousand toys, but we was able to give out around three thousand books. So give thanks, give thanks. So you know, one of the things about Melik's Bookshop bringing the world together with books, culture and community is the fact that, um, we're about community, and this week was a community event and uh and every it was festive,

it was a holiday spirit. And you know, you can go on to social our social media Malik Books and follow us and you could see some of the the giveaways and what was taking place at the Winning Wonderland. So anyway, uh, that's all about community. Thank you. We're back with back with the Maliek's mail bag. I got some explosive questions that were emailed to me from Jaden

and Windsor Hills Malik. After listening to big tech censorship, I had to write in I respect you as a businessman, a father, a husband, and a man of the community. But this ain't it. Brother. You said you're not taking aside, but all you're doing is reciting right wing talking points. Twitter took down new photos of Hunter Biden at the request of the Biden campaign. Who cares that validates Twitter's

terms of service anyway? Also can Elon must be trusted to release all the files are just the ones that supposedly make the Democrats look bad. Your points about black people being silent are well taken, but Trump lost fair and square. Don't drink the kool aid. J You packed a loading question. I'm gonna try to do my best about the big text sense you shure. I'm glad you took an interest and wrote me, But hey, I don't know if I have enough time to ask you everything.

I only even voted a certain amount of time to the Melik's mail bag. But listen, Jaden, I'm a black man in America then knows the history of both the Republicans and Democrats. But no party right or left has been fair or just two black people on a consistent basis. We have gotten some inroads from both parties. There are issues that I identify both on the left and the right. I like the fact that Obama wanted to give universal health care. Now that might strike you, Jaden, but I

like that idea. But I know for a fight. Historically in this country, the number one party who has wanted the censor free speech has always been the left, the Democrat, the liberals, and that has not changed to day. Jim Crow was started by the left. They would sick dogs, water holes on black people to sionist us, to put fear in us. The clue cause Klan was invented by the left to enforce fear in black people. So nothing has changed the date. Censorship is a known fight to

be a strategy. The FBI and the murder in government has used the silence black people. Now, as far as me identify with certain points on the right, okay, hey, but that don't mean identify with the Republicans, I don't represent neither party because both parties have silence black people, oppressed black people, imprisoned black people, and have destroyed the black family. So don't put me in that trick bag. Jaden,

I think you're drinking that cool aid. You think that the big texts companies are not colluding and conspond with this government. They're coordinating and writing service terms that are discriminating against different groups of people in different ideologies, simply because it don't fit the narrative. Now, you can believe Jaden all you want, but the way you think, and that's fine. But I'm under no illusion that it's all

about power and what power comes control. They have to control this influence that is taking place on this social media and it's to their interests. They really believe, I'm talking about the gun believe this is in the best interests of America. That benefits their interests. It is not in the best interests of the society and the citizens because they are disseminating disinformation with the very definition of censorship.

What it took down hunting Biden's new pictures. I think they should, but they ain't stopping all those new pictures with thongs, all these women's booty sticking wide old crotches, who spread it, you know, left to the right, But they ain't stopping none of that off of the social media is all kind of filth and decadous on this social media. They ain't stopping nothing that, they're not censoring none of that. But they're censoring people when it ain't

in the best interests of the government. I see a whole lot of up on there that they allowed this hate speech towards black people and it's still posted. But that's okay because it ain't in the entrance of the government to stop the killing and stop the hate speech towards blacks. And so they guess what, So it's just laced in field in honeycomb with nothing but vile things against black people. New photos absolutely should be taken down,

But that's not what they censored. What they censored was information about hit about our president, on Biden being involved in business dealings in Ukraine, China and different companies around the world, and the relationship that Biden had with his father and him being mentioned in there under many various terms like the big guy and so forth. Washington Post is a big paper, they don't publish. They can be

sued for putting information out this false. And what took place was they were Sensor, a huge company, uh like Washington Post was Sensor and material was taken down only for two years later where all these major news payer and they're admitting that that laptop was legit number one,

So why was it taken down? Yes, while Elon Musk is revealing all these receipts about the government FBI colluding, conspiring and manipulating and coordinating with the big tech companies the sensor information about Hunter Biden, about Trump or whatever. They ain't censoring all that hate speech against black people and all of them lives put all throughout the social media about black people and all that new this all over the social media, this causing licension behavior in society.

Social media is a platform for people to put their information or content on their The social media is not supposed to be editing. What they're doing is editing, and that means they shouldn't be protected because they end in the business of entity. And that's where I believe that they're coming up against the free speech because they're editing content, they're controlling content, and so there I think that they're in violation and I think that they went too far.

And Jayden, if you think that elections are fair, then you have truly drink kool aid. A no election fair. First of all, presidents are selected, not elected. I do not believe there are any fair and free elections. They all manipulate one way, shape or form, and the power structure that wants to control the outcome in these elections

are heavily involved. They have done many polls since the presidential election, and the majority and make people believes something was wrong with this last election and that big Tech interfered in the presidential election in their censorship of the Hunter of Biden laptop. So, Jayden, thank you for your question. I hope I was able to answer your questions from Elijah in South l A Malik, I think you need

to brush up on the First Amendment. Free speech does not mean that every platform in the world is required to let you say whatever you want whenever you want. Twitter has rules, and if they are valuated, you are kicked off. It's simple. If you start doing anti semitic rents on your podcast, like Kanye I Heart Radio would stop putting it out. Can you be arrested for those rents? No,

that is freedom of speech. Twitter isn't taking away anyone's First Amendment rights, and certainly not major political figures who can be on televisi whenever they want. Okay, that's a loaded question. Again, ELI appreciate it, thank you. But my main focus, like I said on the Big Tense sign ship, is the fact that we need to be aware that you know, people are being targeted on social media and being taken off, eliminated, suspended for views and points there

are not once again acceptable to a certain party. Now as far as free speech, you know, I know you can't say like you in the theater. This is the classic. If you're in the theater and shout fire, there's no fire and people start stampede and running out and there's no firing. Somebody to get hurt. You can get arrested for that and know why because you put people in danger and you put people at risk, all right, So there are rules and parameters. All right, this is not

the case. Okay, this is not people shouting fire. People have been sensored and eliminated off of social media simply because they didn't agree with certain things about the vaccination and they were censored and eliminated. People have spoken things about the government. The government didn't like It's Big Tech didn't like it, and they removed them from social media. So that's black people and that's white people. And in different have been censored because their views are different. Now

it's not sometimes it's not. What you say is how you say it. And the thing is, anytime you're trying to speak to an audience, you need to speak in a way that you are effective and can communicate, all right, and you need to be aware of that. There's responsibility come with being free and therefore you need to meet those responsibilities. So when it comes to free speech, no, I don't think big tech had a right to edit

people and take people things off. And they're able to get away with that because politicians are allowing them, not because they are an independent business. They are discriminating. That is my and this is how I see it. They are discriminating and they're getting away with it because politicians are not standing up to defend the rights of the people in America because it's to their benefit that they control the masters of the people and what they think

and how they think. So when you say to me, Elijah that I need to brush over free speak, I think you need to because the small man today censor, the big man tomorrow censor, and that's exactly what has happened. You need to brush up on your First Amendment, because I'm not not under the illusion that when a person is empowered they want to control the way people think. They don't. They spend billions and billions it is to influence how you think, what you wear, what you say,

how you men see the world. Hey, look, this is we're live in the world. You got to stop being living in a fairy tale. Power is power, and power people control many industries because of their power, and big Tech independently popped up this government just couldn't have it run wild and let anything and everything on there without controlling it. So that's what they're doing. They want to

control what's being put on there. And it's under free speech, and there are discriminating because you can wear, like I said, you can wear thongs, you can be half new you could say some of the most filthiest things sexually and what beyond social media. But the minute you say something is pro black or anti government or against somebody's religious belief, all of a sudden, now you gotta what you gotta

be sensive, all right, whof you know? And that's the argument here, And it ain't got nothing to do with protecting free speech. That's not what they're doing their sensory free speech, and it's bigger than all else. And the reality is that I knew years ago that day was going in this direction and that's exactly what they did.

So anyway, that's my thoughts on these questions. Man. You know, like I said, um, I think it's important how you say things and what you say, and I think you need to choose your words carefully, absolutely, and some people do that better than other people. And I think that you know, um, big tech is violating our First Amendment right. And that's my take on that. Thanks for listening to Leak's Bookshelf where Topics on the Shelf or books, culture
