and good morning to the listening audience. How you doing today, Doing
fine. It's a nice day outthere. It is a nice day.
It is a nice day. Notso hot, but it might still get
up there. Yeah, yeah,they're saying, but hey, we're gonna
deal with it. We're alive andwell, yes, sir, yes,

(06:48):
sir. We got some hot topicstoday, Dr Harper. Today we're gonna
start off with talking about a nationbuild on the back of enslavery and racism
from Yes Magazine dot org. Andalso, I've been telling folks we're going
to talk about that project twenty twentyfive, and if you haven't heard about

(07:09):
it, you need to listen ordo the research yourself. All right,
Doctor Harper, let's began. Okay, this is about a nation built on
the backup in slavery and racism fromYesmagazine dot org. Beb as I,
as you recall, I had saidin the past that I would review and

(07:30):
discuss aspects of African American history fromtime to time. Well, today is
the time when we need to discussthe facts. According to Yesmagazine dot Core
and an article entitled just the Facts. A Nation built on the back of
enslavery and racism unquote. The articlebegins by stating it began with two hundred
and forty six years of legal slaveryin which American nationalists. White American nationalists

(07:56):
extracted wealth from the slavery in whichwhitenst right the nationalist Americans extracted wealth from
the lives of African American people.At the time of the Civil War,
close to four million African Americans wereenslaved, third p thirteen percent of America's
total population. After the war,institutional injustices focused on stealing their land and

(08:18):
jobs and ensuring that the African Americansdid not build wealth as fast as the
rest of Americans. As a result, America's economy was built and based on
the workload and the backs of enslavedblacks. However, blacks did not earn
either dignity, recognition, nor wealthfrom these hideous conditions and circumstances. But
before I dive into the facts aslaid out by Yes Magazine, I want

(08:41):
to digress a bit to speak ofAbraham Lincoln and his so called freeing of
enslaved people. The reality is thatLincoln did not really free anyone. He
wrote an art. He wrote andprinted out a proclamation called the Emancipation Proclamation
that gave people the impression that byhis word and the stroke of a pen,

(09:05):
every enslaved person that just walk offthe cotton fields, the rice patties,
the cow pastures, the breeding farms, the sugar plantations, or the
building of masses new plantation home ornew barn, just because Lincoln says you
were free. Now, I wanteach of you in the listening audience to
be honest with yourself and answer whetheryou were told that Lincoln freed the slaves.

(09:28):
And if you were taught this,then you have have to acknowledge that
this meant that he must have freedall four Maigan enslave human beings. But
in actuality he had no power orthe will to free any black enslaved persons
except in Washington, d c.Without the force of Union troops. Both
in the South as well as insome northern states where enslaved people did exist,

(09:50):
although frowned upon. What Lincoln didwas say that if you are enslaved
within one of the states that arecommitting treeson and fighting against the North and
the U an army. Then youthe forcibly enslaved man, woman and child
are free. But how can theybe free, one might ask Lincoln.
Free to do what to Just throwdown their tools, wash up in some

(10:13):
clean fresh water, pack up allof their possessions in one crocussack bag,
and with no money or transportation,just walk away into yonder, maybe to
the north by following the North Star, or to the West, where at
that time slavery was not legal.Or go back to the East and maybe
find one's wife's sons, daughter's motheror father and just live happily ever after.

(10:35):
Bull stuff, bull stuff. Thetruth is that Lincoln ran game on
everybody who thought he had the poweror the will to free anyone, especially
in the Southern States which were fightingagainst any freedom for enslaved people. Plus,
and this is for all the magadelusional Adolph Trump followers who who brag

(10:56):
about their glorious Republican party by sayinga Republican named Abraham Lincoln freed the enslaved
black people. But what they neglectto say, Bell, what they neglect
to say is that a Republican presidentnamed Andrew Johnson who stepped into the presidency
when Lincoln was assassinated supported to helpput in place a new form of re
enslavement under the name of Jim Crow. Now Jim Crow Laws were a collection

(11:20):
of state and local statues that legalizedracial segregation. So Republican President Andrew Johnson
issued Proclamation one point thirty four orderingamnesty amnesty to all white Southerners who would
take a loyalty oath to regain theirproperty, and he outlined a plan for
reconstruction in the South. He alsoordered the newly elected state governor in Mississippi

(11:45):
to turn over the governorship to aformer ex Confederate official, which was followed
by other Southern states. The plantationowners were forgiven for their treasonous behavior and
were handed back their entire plantations,which was the forty acres that General Sherman
had given out the so called freeblacks. It was a Republican president that

(12:05):
allowed for not only Jim Crow,but also for Black Coals, which were
strict local and state laws that detailedwhen, where and how formally enslaved people
could work and for how much compensation. These Black CODs were a legal way
to put black citizens into indentured servitudeto take their voting rights away, to
control where they lived, how theytraveled, and to seize children for labor

(12:30):
purposes. All this was done throughoutthe Southern States to keep white supremacy in
place, to economically disable free blacksfrom and forging black African Americans to continue
to work on plantations, and tomaintain Jim Crow and the inferiority status of
African Americans in place. Jim Crowlaws denied Blacks the right to vote,
serve on juries, to own orcarry firearms, to rent or release land.

(12:54):
In some cases, white racist judgesbound over many young African Maeramerican orphans
to white plantation owners, who wouldthen force them to work for no pay,
just like enslavement, while adult freedmenwere forced to sign contracts with their
employers, who were in many casestheir previous owners. Many former enslaved but

(13:15):
now so called free people who wentagainst Jim Crow laws or tried to evade
these contracts were fined, beaten,or arrested for gravements vagrancy, and upon
arrests, many so called free AfricanAmericans were made to work for no wages,
essentially being reduced to the very definitionof a slave. So although slavery
had been outlawed by the Thirteenth Amendment, it effectively continued in many Southern states

(13:41):
thanks to Republican President Andrew Johnson,who also vetoed the First Civil Rights Act
of eighteen sixty six, which wasintended specifically to protect the rights of free
people after reports from the Freedman's Bureauthat free black people were being disenfranchised,
lynch, burned, and raped,just like the good old Southern races had

(14:01):
intended Jim Crow to do. Now, just one more thing about the Republican
President Lincoln, He too had consideredan amnesty plan for Southern troops and landowners
before his vice president took office andenacted the Clemency Plan. Yes, Lincoln
had already thought of ways to reinstoreSouthern hospitality to the racist plantation owners by

(14:22):
putting Massa back in charge of hisso called newly freed black men, women,
and children. Now that you knowthis, how does the Republican Party,
Lincoln and Johnson appear to you?Are they the saviors of the Old
South and the Southern holocaust of enclavedpeople on plantations, or is Lincoln and
Johnson and the Republican Party the saviorsof the Negro race. Y'all need to

(14:46):
figure that out. I've already done, so okay, Well, let's move
on to just the facts regarding anation build on the back of slavery and
racism. With fact number one,slavery launched modern capitalism and turned the US
into the wealthiest country in the world. Slave harvested cotton dominated the nineteenth century
international market, with the US productionof cotton being two point two five billion

(15:11):
two point two five billion pounds ineighteen fifty nine. Cotton built listened.
Cotton built New York City into acommercial and financial center, and that for
every dollar cotton made, forty centsended up in New York as the city
supplied insurance, shipping, and financing, resulting in New Yorker's share of all

(15:33):
cotton revenue being forty percent. Soenslave meant was not mainly carried on in
the South, the North was surelybenefiting off of it. Also keep in
mind that after the outbreak of theCivil War, the market for slaves in
the US exceeded that of banks,factories, railroads combined. Enslaved people were
worth three billion dollars and was fortyeight percent of the total wealth of the

(15:58):
South in eighteen sixty back number two. Emancipation, as I've already talked about,
did not bring economic freedom to informallyenslaved people. In April eighteen sixty
two, President Abraham Lincoln signed abill ending slavery in the District of Columbia,
but he also provided the former enslaverswith monetary compensation or reparations for having

(16:19):
to give up their enslaved property.So the former enslavers got paid, got
reparations, got compensation when slavery wasended in Washington, d c. Now,
as I have already pointed out,General Sherman had given out forty acres
of land to black families throughout theSouth, but soon after Republican President Andrew

(16:40):
Johnson overturned General Sherman's famous promise,which, if it had stayed in place,
would have permanently redistributed roughly four hundredthousand acres of land to newly freed
black families, which would have gainedwhich would have gained significantly well. Also
during emancipation, vagrancy laws allowed policeto sweep up black men and women and

(17:00):
rent them out as conflict labor.Following the Civil War, convict leasing programs
shifted the Southern prison population to predominantlyblack. In addition, discriminatory business policies
kept white people economically ahead, whileblack codes were enacted to stop African Americans
from owning their own businesses. Forexample, black business licensing fees under the

(17:23):
Black Colds in eighteen seventy were onehundred dollars for black entrepreneurs and zero dollars
for white entrepreneurs. Also, Southernmerchants used unfair credit to impede black wealth
building, where as interest rates chargedby merchants from eighteen eighty one to eighteen
eighty nine in Georgia were forty fourpercent and only seven percent in New York

(17:45):
City. Also, the ku klusKlan was founded while a Republican president was
in office on December twenty fourth,eighteen sixty five, in Pulaski, Tennessee,
as a secret society which turned intoa paramilitary force, been on reversing
the federal government's reconstruction activities in theSouth, especially policies that he evaluated excuse

(18:07):
me, he elated or rose upthe rights of local black population. They
were slave patrols at first, butalso racial terrorists from the start, and
it all began while Republican President AndrewJohnson was in office. Fact number three.
Discriminatory policies kept African Americans from receivinghelp other citizens were provided with.

(18:32):
White citizens received Social Security annually.Originally excluded that domestic violence of them excluded
domestic and agricultural workers most African Americans, especially in the South. Racist policies
contributed to the decline of black farmers, and by nineteen eighty two only one
point five percent of farmers were black. In addition, the United States Department

(18:55):
of Agriculture Civil Rights Office, whichinvested when investigated loan program discrimination complaints was
closed all under the Republican president namedRonald Reagan. Farmland owned by African Americans
in nineteen ten was fifteen million acres, but as of twenty seventeen, black
farmers owned less than one percent offarmland. Also, when nineteen thirty three,

(19:18):
the Homeowner's Loan Corporation was created andhelped more than one million homeowners,
which were white. The Homeowner's LoanCorporation was the origin of redlining maps.
For example, government loans to avoidforeclosure on the homes of white homeowners was
one million loans issued, and zeroloans authorized for black home ownership to keep

(19:40):
their homes from being foreclosed on.Lastly, FAC number four due to discriminatory
policies in regards to farming and homeownership. The result was that African Americans
were not able to get a footholdin the economy. For example, the
median household income in nineteen twenty twentytwo for whites is over seven twenty seven

(20:00):
thousand dollars, but for blacks it'sonly fifty two thousand dollars. For every
dollar of assets white households households haveBlack households have a dime, and so
the income gap has not budgeted sincehas not budget since nineteen seventy, resulting
in African Americans have barely any ofthe nation's wealth and therefore little to know

(20:22):
moneys to pass down to future generations. I stopped there, Wow, interesting
a nation build on the black backsof enslavery and racism, doctor Harper.
And when you talk about and reminded, and I don't know if any of
our listeners know this. And oneof the things that I love about you,

(20:45):
doctor Harper, and doctor Harper,y'all, and I believe this.
We go on facts gotta go on, just just talking and they don't know
facts. Get the facts got togo on facts, which means you go
down, you go down the rabbithole. You hear about something and you
investigated. Yes, And you knowthe sad realds that we have too many
people out here and far, fartoo many Republicans that just listen to what's

(21:08):
been told to them. It's likethey open up their their skull. Yeah,
and they just have someone to plantinformation, oftentimes false information there and
then they spit it out as ifit is fact. It is not that.
If it comes from Trump, it'spredominantly ninety and a half percent of
the time a vicious lie. Yeah. And doctor her you say investigation.

(21:30):
I think about what Confucius said.Confucia says, no investigation, no right
to speak. I hear you,and I don't know if people know this,
Doctor Harper, I want to bringthis up when you hear we just
had to celebrated the fourth of July, just two days after celebrating the end,
could you talk about the Ku Kluxlan. There's just two days after celebrating

(21:52):
the independence of our nation. Justtwo days white supremacists took to the streets
of Nashville. Right down road,y'all carrying Confederate flags and channing deportation,
says the nation. That's something,isn't that something? Right down the road?

(22:15):

from Mark Robinson. He's the lieutenantgovernor of North Carolina and the Republican nominee
for governor. He said this,He's stood on the church pull and said

(23:00):
this statement, calling for violence againstthose he deemed as enemies of Christian America.
Quote. If you know, itwas a time when we used to
meet evil on the battlefield, andguess what we did to it? We
killed it. Some liberals somewhere isgoing to say that sounds awful too bad.

(23:21):
Get mad at me if you wantto. Some folks need killing.
Some folks need killing. It's timefor somebody to say it. Time to
call out those guys in green,boys in blue, go after them.
Handle it, old boys in blue, and handle it also, he said,
the US Constitution is based on theWord of God. Listen, these

(23:44):
people are out of their minds.This is not a white guy, this
is a black man. He's callingfor killing. He wants to kill people

you. I'm doing well? Howare you today? I am good of
what Doctor Harper is saying is absolutelythe truth. I am happened to be

(25:27):
one of those black farmers that waslaying and everything was taken from him.
But the ironic thing about it isthe guy that did it has one of
the same last name. Is oneof the guys that killed Emick Till that
was in our county, which wasShelby. And as though right now I'm

(25:48):
writing a book about this, Idon't know how it's happened, but it
just happened to be. He's gotthe same last name as one of the
guys that kill Emick Til. Wow. Wow. But you are absolutely right.
They took everything from the black farmers, and I was at that particular
time. I was one of theyoungest black farmers and that's why I can

(26:10):
relate to it, which means thatgenerational wealth is not what it needs to
be at this particular time in yourfamily. No. I was looking at
TVD of the day, the news, and it's a young white girl got
I think it was her grandfather's landin Arkansas. But we can't leave that

(26:30):
to our kid. No Oh,but you know, that's just one of
the things that happened. But Iappreciate the information that I got from you

for listening. All right, thankyou all. Bye bye, mister James

(26:52):
Colum, Bill Jones, and hello, doctor Happer. How you guys doing
today? Well you great, great? Great? What that gentleman just said.
That's that's a shame. That isjust a shame. And you get
these these ignoran negroes talking about TrumpTrump Trump. This is crazy, real
crazy. And Bell joneson you wastalking about deportation. What these po were

(27:17):
going to find out is that allof these Trump followers, the Trump Blacks,
if they are not descendants from theMayflower, then they're out of here.
Eventually, they're going to get tothem. If you're not a descendant
from that Mayflower, wasped white AngloSaxon Protestants, Uh, you're out of
here. It may take some timeto get to you, but they will
get to you. And doctor Harperwhen he was talking about slaves and cotton,

(27:41):
I read this book. It's it'scalled Bound for Cannon and this Cannon
Kentucky where slaves used to Uh,it was part of the underground railroad where
Slade used to go to Cannon,Kentucky to cross over into Canada and doing
that. Slaves and cotton, well, there were more millionaires in Mississippi because

(28:03):
of slaves in cotton. There weremore millionaires in Mississippi than there were in
the whole country put together. Sothese Southerners have always had the power because
of slaves of black people in cotton, and a lot of that cotton went
to Europe. It helped build Europealso, So it didn't just it just
didn't build this country. It helpedbuild Europe also. So to the people

(28:26):
out here, I say it's timeto stop all the posturing, because I
was posturing for a long time.It's time to vote. It's time to
vote for Biden. And I don'tcare what condition he's in. I'm voting
for Biden. And these and theseDemocrats that's not behind Biden. They've always
been cowards. Those white guys havealways been towards. So now they're talking

(28:47):
about Biden should step down, bidensto step down, Biden shouldn't go anywhere.
If a woman called in yesterday saysthey filled him up in a casket,
I know I would vote for it. If they willed him up than
a cast and he smelled like inbombing fluid. I would vote for me
also, and for the people whosaid that they do that they may not

(29:08):
vote, or that the people saidthat they don't vote and won't vote.
You may want to vote this timearound, and you may want to take
a selfie of yourself voting, becausechances are if Trump went this will be
your last time voting. That's exactlyright, doctor, doctor Harper, you
always come with great information. Thankyou so much. I'm gonna get off
the phone. Let somebody just geton and vote. You guys, have

(29:29):
a great day, you too,mister James, thank you. And also,
what was the last couple of weekswhen when when Doc Harver wh when
Trump was talking about black jobs.Well, well, here's your black job.
Vote. That's right, that's that'sthe black job we have right now.
This is your black job. VO t E. I'd like for

(29:49):
the mag of people to tell mewhat is a black job anyway? Exactly
what what the hell? What's what'sa black job? Black job? And
see and you know what he's tellingy'all, what a black job, latino
job? You know what he's tellingyou exactly what's a black job. It's
it's being subservient to white people.Hey, that's what he's saying. Hey,

(30:10):
And that so other people are takingthose subservient jobs from you. That
shows his racism, and it showsthe racism behind all those who are supporting
and backing him because they don't wantto they don't want to acknowledge what they
really know is going on here.Back to our phone lines, brother,
oh Mar Yeah, good Martin Ainslamnankanikam slam. How you doing, bro?

(30:37):
What I want to say? Wewere we were talking about these racist
leaderships and another one you mentioned AndrewJohnson, who is trying to restore power
back to South, which is correct. Yes, there was another racist president
world War One. His name wasthis devil name is Woodrow Wilson. You

(31:02):
know about him the birth of anation where they had white folks dressed up
uh uh in black face and uhyou remember that, yes, just just
about it. I'm on I'm onair right now. Would you comment on
that, uh, Andrew Johnson andWoodrow Wilson. We've had racist president all

(31:26):
the way up to uh Donald Trump. I want you to uh comment on
those things. I said. Now, thank you thank you while they coome
Salam, Brother Omar. Keep inmind, brother Omar, I just talked
about Andrew Johnson because he came inafter Lincoln was assassinated. And you know,
the sad reality is that is thatsometimes so called good presidents have to

(31:48):
pick people that are not necessarily thatgood to begin with, because they're trying
to get to garner a certain certainpercentage of votes from that particular person's region.
So Lincoln had the nerve to topick a Southern born in born in
the born in the woods, racistas his running mate and when racing and
when racist, when when Lincoln wasassassinated, Andrew Johnson stepped up at immediately

(32:14):
he was he was a known Confederate, immediately made sure that that that white
plantation owners and white people in theSouth in general across the board were basically
exonerated from any kind of guilt andwhat have you. And he gave back
the property. That's the worst thingthat could have happened, because if we're
talking about generational wealth and someone givesyou fifty acres and you and you already

(32:34):
know how how to make that fiftyacres bloom with all kinds of crops,
and what have you. You're goingto have money and and basically more money
to buy more land and pass downto your family. By Andrew Johnson coming
into the office and stripping alway allthat back, he turned back the clock
back into enslavement again. And seethat's what that's what these people are trying

(32:55):
to do. They want to putus all back into a situation of enslaves
one way or the other by takingout taking out our rights and what have
you. So just keep your eyesup from folks. They woke. Yeah,
and when you talked about the farmers, and I'm glad and and Ray
called in. Thank you, andRay, I hope you listen. On
Monday, I will have doctor Harper. Uh, mister Thomas Burrell is gonna

(33:16):

(37:21):
to mention was a lot of uswere just coming back when doctor Herdon wastn
from mayor from Vietnam of comeback,and we were not allowed to join the
VFW and the American legion weet bevoted in. So then when we started

Ain't that beautiful bell? How areyou? William? All right?
Doctor Harper? So now you talkabout one president and then another president come

(39:59):
behind and you know, wipe theslate clean and start something new. It's
already been spoken of among the conservatives, and that when Trump gets in by
the power that the Supreme Court gavehim, people something like the January sixth

(40:22):
Committee, he's going to bring themup on charges of treason. Now they
won't hold, but still they willbe arrested on TV and everybody else that
he can, you know, sayhey, you committeed this, you will
their elective duty, this that,and he would have them arrested on TV.
Of course they will be found notguilty later on. Then he would

(40:45):
give powers to companies that on socialmedia page, if any of your managers
spoke against me, they were speakingagainst the government, right therefore they can
be fired. And they're talking thatright now and talking about slander and all
that, and they can be firedon the spot. They're talking that right

(41:05):
now. They're setting it up justlike and there he's hooking on with the
Project twenty twenty five and he's goingto make sure that that gets through.
And this is what's coming down thepike for blacks. For blacks, you're
getting ready to lose jobs land likeyou just said that, you know,
you for foreclosure where there were lawswhere you could do this and do that,

(41:29):
and we you know, but nowthose laws are gone. You just
lost your house. And so that'swhat's coming down the pike. And I
thank you for alerting us to awhole lot more that's coming down the pike.
And we have to keep this upall the way, even through the
election, because they're not going tostop. We have to do it for

(41:49):
our lifetime, like that other gentlemanjust said, and I thank him for
being black fastic love y'all. Thankyou, William. I hear you.
W I a hey caller, Goodafternoon, babble of this small change,

Hey, yes, sir, heysmall change. I said that. I
said that yesterday to somebody. Isaid, we were more of grass when
we were segregated. Well, youknow, even even doctor King had made
the made the comment about he doesn'tknow if he wants to really integrate his
people into a burning house. Heknew and many and many of the African

(42:59):
scholarship have known also that integration wasnot going to better us. Sitting next
to white folks is not going tobetter us. It's not gonna make our
kids smarter. All that's gonna dois is like it's like it always has
done. It gave us entree togo over to their side of town and
put all our money to make themrich and for them to go to the

(43:21):
show is over. Well good,the show on with you just said.
That's exactly what happened. So weneed to close this out because why are
we gonna sit and gromma about somethingwhen we see our situation but we still
take our money to it. Comeon, people, wake up. I
come out of Mississippis, but Ileft Missippi. I'mna keep telling this show
with thirty two dollars in my pocketpapers. Calibution counted down. Now I

(43:45):
ain't look back good. I walkedaround. Race said, yeah, he
was out there bad. I hadto say yes and notion to a two
or three year old white person backat the town. I hear you.
But I walked around and I said, yes, it knows it. When

(44:27):

the main he's pulling knowledge. Wewait, well, wait small change till
we come after the break, becausehe's gonna tell you about this project twenty
twenty five. Yeah, but peoplewon't listen that you know and you but
they need to listen. Oh youbring doctor Harbone and doctor Jeffrey with all

(44:52):
this knowledge and we cutting up andcounting like it's a new day on Sunday.
Yes, sir, Yes, withthat I learn you doctor Harper,
like I said, he's Kevin withall his knowledge that which I had it,
I just don't have it. Thankyou, small change. Be safe,
brothers, don't God keep on blessingyou and keep giving it to m
Some of us get in, someof us won't. Right. All I

(45:15):
can say, take care, man, keep doing it, keep doing it.
It is all I said. Rankyou again, devil you welcome.
Bye bye. I'm gonna get thiscall and we're gonna take a break and
we're gonna come back. Yeah.W d I a high caller. I
wanted to do the UH projects twentytwenty five bad. But let me say
this real quick, if I may, sure, Yeah, thank you.

(45:36):
Yeah. I hope you and doctorHarper and everybody is doing okay. But
said I was. Rae was onthere and he's and if I got it
right, what he said, hesaid that the people in Arkansas was not
allowed to in eric Land. Isthat what he said? I didn't.
I didn't hear those words did.I didn't hear it because Okay, I
just want to make sure because whenhe said it, I looked it up

(45:57):
and that's not true. But whatit said is that most people, so
if they got a large family,they fight over the land and they end
up losing it that way. Butit has nothing to do with black not
inherited land. Anybody compants out anykind of property that they want to see,
anyone that got based on any colorlike that, because he did that.
There was a young lady that hergrandfather passed the land on to her,

(46:19):
but he said that the black peoplewere unable to do that, and
that's not true and for what Ilooked up, so I just wanted to
pass that on. They cannot makea law that fits one person without fitting
the whole bunch. Yeah, Ithink the cont I believe the context,
and I don't know because because hedidn't explain it. I believe the context
surrounding what he was saying was thatoftentimes black families have to have the land

(46:42):
split up between so many people andthey can't come together exactly. They can't
come together, you know. Andit was one of the saddest things that
I can really imagine when I wasstationed in bu For South Carolina back in
nineteen eighty something, on Sunday morning, he was at Bragg. Were you
at Bragg beaut for South Carolina,Beauford, Okay? On Sunday morning,

(47:04):
they would basically be auctioning off theseblack folks lands, and the black people
will be sitting on the steps watchingtheir landing being auctioned off because they couldn't
pay taxes. Now, you keepin mind, beat for South Carolina was
about maybe thirty miles from Hilton Head, where where black folks used to own
all of Hilton Heads, South Carolinaland too. But what happens is that
once you start building these these twohundred million dollar houses and what have you

(47:29):
in that area, those property taxesshoot up sky high. I'm sure aware
of it. And so all ofa sudden, you're a black person with
two hundred acres, and all ofa sudden, your property tax now is
twenty five thousand versus two thousand,and you end up losing that land.
And that's how many of them losttheir land. Yeah, but thank you.
Yeah right, I just wanted tomention that cot that I looked it

(47:49):
up and it was I was unableto verify what he's saying was true.
But I want people to know thatyou can't get land and it can't be
passed down. A property can't bepassed down as long as you paid,
just stated doctor Harper, as longas you paid the taxes on it,
you can't possess that land. Butsince you stated that, if you've got
many people and family members that thatwant to do right, you're gonna lose

(48:10):
Atlanta. I don't care if you'rewife. You're gonna lose that land.
Thank you, doctor Harper. NowI'll finished listening on the Project twenty twenty
five because I want to talk moreabout that too. All right, Thank

The birthday Todiva. That's something thatgood chocolate. Have a good good day

(53:15):
to day, sister. I knowyou know how to celebrate your life.
Happy birthday, Cardiva. All right, Doctor Harper, Project twenty twenty five.
Bill, let me start off bysaying that I presented this topic on
February eighth, twenty twenty four,last this year, this year, five

(53:36):
months ago. I came back thefollowing week on February fifteenth, twenty twenty
four, and represented it in ashorter form. Brothers and sisters, we
gotta pay attention. We gotta payand it's like like people are like,
what are you dead? I don'tknow what third is. All of a
sudden, the news media is allover twenty twenty. They are, they
are, which shows you how theRepublicans have the power to control image and

(54:00):
to control information. But it alsosays Democrats are flat out lazy and afraid
to confront the devil when they seethe devil coming all of a sudden.
Black people are few at least,are really kind of schemish, squeamish about
it, and they want to knowwhat's going on now here. Far too
many people on who call me,calls on this station who don't know a

(54:21):
damn thing about it. Got everythingasks backwards and hopefully you'll learn something today.
But it's the third time. Howmany times do you need to be
educated about something about the genocide thatmay be happening to us in the next
ten or fifteen years if this getsinto play, Okay, I've been asked
again to discuss and enlighten the listeningaudience regarding the controversy surrounding Project twenty twenty

(54:45):
five in the hopes that my peopleare now more awakened to the horrors of
how this project is designed to destroyour democracy and put in its place a
demagogue and fascist who intends to controlall aspects of the government, along with
his State House clan adjacent legislative officials. Former failed impeached and fell in on

(55:07):
twenty four counts. President Rump hasdistanced himself from Project twenty five and is
quoted as saying, quote, Ihave no idea who's behind it, unquote,
although six of his former cabinet secretarieshelped write or collaborate it. On
the nine hundred page playbook for asecond Term published by the Heritage Foundation,

(55:28):
four individuals Trump nominated as ambassadors werealso involved, along with several enforcers of
his controversial immigration crackdown, and abouttwenty pages are credited to his first deputy
chief of Staff. In fact,at least one hundred and forty people who
worked in the Trump administration had ahand in Project twenty twenty five, including

(55:49):
half of the people listed as authors, editors, and contributors to quote mandate
for leadership, which was the timethe term given to it long became before
it became Project twenty twenty five.Naturally, Rump is denying that he knew
anything about Project twenty twenty five,although he spoke as recent as twenty twenty
two at a Heritage Foundation in dinnerwhere he praised the efforts of those who

(56:13):
are working on this agenda. Butas you can imagine, this pathological liar
seems to avoid most prosecution for hisillegal acts or his or his alliance with
unsavory psychopaths by stating that he doesnot have any idea as to what people
are accusing you of and that hehas no involvement in criminal behaviors. This
is the typical behavior for a draftdodging coward who speaks in a grossly disrespectful

(56:38):
manner towards veterans and who encourage Americansdying of COVID nineteen to drink bleach.
What an idiot or are his supportersthe idiots both of them are? Maybe
let me briefly cite the words ofthe project director from twenty twenty five named
Paul Danz, who said, Paul, Project twenty twenty five consists of how

(57:01):
more than eighty of the nation's leadingconservative organizations joining forces to prepare and seize
Here this wording, seize the dayif we are going to rescue the country
from the grip of radical left.We need both a governing agenda and the
right people in place ready to carryout this agenda. We aim to assemble

(57:21):
an army here they're talking about anarmy of aligned, vetted, trained,
and prepare conservatives to go to workon day one to deconstruct. That means
to tear apart the administrative state inwhich he means to tear down or deconstruct
the power that some government agencies haveto write, judge, and enforce their
own laws, their own rules,as well as those of the legislature.

(57:45):
Governmental agencies that are in the crosshairsfor slashing are the Department of Justice,
funding, dismantling the FBI and theDepartment of Homeland Security, and eliminating the
cabinet Department of Education and Commerce.The plan is to drastically reshaped federal agencies,
reduce their independence, and give morepower to him as president. The

(58:07):
plan seeks to resurrect Schedule F.Schedule F, an executive order that Trump
adopted in his last few weeks ofhis administration, focused on extending the number
of federal workers he could hire fromthe usual four thousand or so. Political
appointees to twenty thousand. I've heardas many as fifty thousand or more in

(58:28):
who he will put in key politicalpositions and replace them with Trumps stooges.
Supporters of Schedule Left have proposed convertingat least fifty thousand career civil servants who
occupy key policy making positions into politicalappointee status. And increasing the number of
political appointees would result in replacing moderateswith Republican extremists and extending the number of

(58:50):
federal workers who have sworn an allegianceto the right wing of the Republican Party
and Trumpe. The United States,the president is the head of the administrative
state. A few examples of theagencies under the administrative state include the CIA,
Drug Enforcement Office, Federal Election Committee, Food and Drug Administration, Internal
Revenue Service, National Security Agency,the US Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms

(59:15):
Explosives, the Department of Agriculture,Defense, Education, Health and Human Services,
Housing and Urban Development, Veterans Affairs, the Environmental Protection Agency, Immigration
and Customs Enforcement, Social Security Administration. You hear that he's over, that
be careful, the US Civil ServiceCommission, the Corporation for Public broadcasting and

(59:37):
the United States Post Office, toname a few. He is over that
if he gets back in office again. Because the president is over what they
call the administrative state. Under thetwenty twenty five document, formerly independent long
standing agencies such as the EPA,the Department of Justice, FBI, Department,
Department of Human Services, and Departmentof Education, to name few,

(01:00:00):
will be no more. He's goingto just cut those period. No deprovement
of education means, brothers and sisters, that the state is going to dictate
what your children learn. And asyou already know, they have removed any
content about slavery, the enslavement ofblack people, and anything else that basically
mischaracterizes They say them in a negativelight, which means, translated, means

(01:00:22):
to tell the truth about their racist, vicious behaviors towards black people. A
critique of this Nazi agenda, entitledthe far right Playbook for American Authoritarianism,
reports that it threatens American civil andhuman rights and our very democracy. The
America that Project twenty twenty five wantsto create would involve a fundamental reordering of

(01:00:44):
our society. It would greatly enhancethe president's powers and impose on all American
policies favored by Christian nationalists regarding issuessuch as sexual health and reproductive rights,
education, the family, and therole of religion in our society and government.
It would strip rights protections from LBGTQplus people, immigrants, women,

(01:01:05):
and people of color. It woulddismantle much of the federal government and replace
our a political civil service with farright conservative brainwash employees, which is already
training in anticipation of a power shift. It would end attempts to enhance equity
and racial justice throughout the government andshut down agencies that track progress on this

(01:01:27):
front. Efforts to tackle issues suchas climate change would be ended, and
republican politicized research will be produced toback the project's views on environmental policy and
the evils of transgenderism and women's healthwould take a priority. In essence,
Project twenty twenty five is an authoritarianroad map to dismantling a thriving, inclusive

(01:01:49):
democracy for all. Now let's takea look at what Project twenty twenty five
has to say about the role ofChristian nationalism, which is number one.
It rejects the constitutional separation of churchand state. Number two. If privileges
religious beliefs over civil laws, soyour religious beliefs will trump literally civil laws

(01:02:12):
out there. That Americans must remainAmerica must remain Christian. America must remain
Christian, which means other religions willnot be tolerated. That Christianity should enjoy
a privileged place in society. Numberfive, that American identity cannot be separated
from Christianity. Number six. Projecttwenty twenty five favors a government mandated by

(01:02:37):
biblical principles which exclude certain communities,particularly the lbgt to t q plus community,
from civil service protections. Puts thelbttq plus people in the same sentence
as propaganda, excuse me as pornographyand pedophilia. It says that LGBTQ plus
is an ideology rather than a naturalstate, promost the traditional family as a

(01:03:01):
married mother, father and children whoare the foundation of a well ordered nation
and healthy society. People employed onSunday, they said, should stop unless
they're being paid. And lastly,that employees should be able to abide by
their religious beliefs regarding marriage, theLGBT plus community, women's health care,

(01:03:22):
race, and other religiously held convictionsregardless of anti discrimination laws. Which means
that you will not be allowed tosue people because they're discriminated against discriminate against
you because they can basically say thataccording to their religion or whatever their beliefs
are, that that's why they arewithholding resources or whatever from you. It
takes your power from you. Andwe're going to stop there for a minute.

(01:03:45):
Sounds good. We are talking.If you've just tuned in, Doctor
Harper is talking about Project twenty twentyfive. When we come back, we'll
continue. We will open our phonelines up again for your thoughts and your
questions. Nine zero one five threefive, nine three four two eight hundred
five zero three nine three four twoeight three three five three five nine three

(01:04:11):
four two will get you in tous. You're listening to Double d I
A. Don't go away. TheBev Johnson Chill returns after these messages.

(01:05:02):
You're listening to the Bev Johnson Show. Here's Bev Johnson and we're continuing with
doctor Warren Harper and talking about Projecttwenty twenty five. Doctor Harper, Okay,
when you look at what Project twentytwenty five seeks to accomplish, it
says that people who do not believein their God, you know, the
blue eyed, white faced, blondehaired God are anti Christian. It also

(01:05:26):
says that single parents, as adad taking care of his kids or the
mom taking her for the kids.Single parenting will be not seen as parenting,
It will be seen as the familywill be seen anti Christian. Now
don't you think that this type ofnegative labeling and stereotyping cause the people who
have been characterized or judged by theChristian nationalist rule book to feel embarrassed,

(01:05:47):
sad, or confused? And wasthat not the same reason why we African
Americans and all Americans cannot be taughtabout African American history because it makes little
white children feel sad, embarrassed,a confused. Sounds like their racist mischaracterization
of critical race theory is being usedfor them and against us. Much of

(01:06:08):
the Project twenty twenty five is dedicatedto eviscerating departments and agencies, essentially gutting
the federal government and investing nearly unfeederedpower over the executive branch, including the
Departments of Justice, FBI, allthose to the presidency. They also want
to assemble thousands of properly vetted andtrained personnel who will be ready on January

(01:06:29):
twenty, They say twenty twenty fiveto begin dismantling the administrative state. They
also say they want to get ridof what Rump and the Make America Hate
Again Howard called the deep state,which is their conspiracy theory of a large
group of federal employees that sneakily underminefor failed former President Rump from regaining the
White House. They also believe thatthis highly discriminatory, devilish designed plan of

(01:06:55):
action says that any employee that hasbeen involved in diversity, equity and in
inclusion efforts and did not object onconstitutional moral grounds should be subject to grounds
for termination, which means if youwent to a training on equity and diversity
and what have you, and youdidn't protest, and you're gonna fire you,

(01:07:16):
okay. The next discrimination anti discriminationprogram to be asked is entitled quote
ending Racial Equity Efforts, which meansto terminate all federal money earmark for ensuring
that civil service employees are trained totreat other civil service employees with equity,
respect, dignity, and to promotediversity on the job and in the job

(01:07:38):
training recruitment efforts. As many inthe listening audience is well aware of diversity.
Equity and inclusion is all about ensuringthat all people of various ethnic and
ability groups should be considered in thehiring and promotion process as well as in
leadership positions. However, diversity equityand inclusion is a major target of the
authoritarian Republican Rabbit conservatives who want topush such policies as diversity equity and inclusion

(01:08:04):
off the American employment map because DEI, they say, discriminates against conservatives and
religious Christian nationalists views and teachings.It says that diversity equity and inclusion is
a liberal left wing strategy or planto infiltrate the workforce with lies about America
being a racist past, having aracist pass, which must be forcefully opposed

(01:08:28):
and reversed. It calls for endingefforts to improve racial equity, ban CRT
training, and bar the use oftaxpayers dollars to fund critical race theory training,
which wasn't being done anyway, butyou know that's what they say.
The next rights to be eviscerated isentitled restricting sexual and reproductive health and rights

(01:08:49):
by banning all abortions and restricting people'sbodily autonomy and sexual and reproductive health and
rights. It also calls for aban on abortion pills, indicated that the
Department of Justice will criminally prosecute providers, which are physicians and distributors of such
medications. It would end Medicare fundingfor planned parenthood health services, remove abortion

(01:09:11):
from health care plans, and transferthe Department of Health and Human Services into
the Department of Life. Isn't thatsomething they want? Life? Right?
It would also advocate that girls andwomen seek fertility awareness based methods of family
planning, such as the Rhythm method. The twenty twenty five project intends to
deploy the US military for domestic lawenforcement under the Reservation Insurrection Act of eighteen

(01:09:39):
o seven. What I just said, they're bringing up the Insurrection Act of
eighteen o seven, and this issupposed to be an immediate priority if he
Trump is re elected. In addition, the plan also includes directing the Department
of Justice to pursue or go afterpeople that Trump considers disloyal or political or

(01:10:00):
his political adversary, which means anyonethat runs against him. He could claim
that they're an adversary and he canhave them prosecuted. That is too much
power in the country that is democratic, and he is now being placed in
the position of being above the law, which means he makes the law.

(01:10:21):
And that's what they want this tobe all about. Now, think about
that. What type of country bansand burns books, criticizes the truth and
rewrites American history to cover up itsoriginal sin. The Republican government, if
and when they take power again,will enforce strict obedience to their authority,
irregardless of how it tramples and erasesour personal rights and our democracy. But

(01:10:45):
don't let Project twenty twenty five traumatizeyou. But you have to get off
your ass and inform all your nonbelieving family members and friends about this fiendish
plan to destroy democracy and is stilla fascist race hating anti women rights,
anti immigration, anti voting rights forpeople of color, anti environmental protection,

(01:11:05):
and anti First Amendment rights to freespeech, and to turn back the hands
of time to when some African Americanblacks were terrified of Massa and his white
nationalists and white Christian nationalists Pea brainedviolent followers, while the rest of us
are prepared to do whatever it takesto ensure that the South, nor the

(01:11:25):
Confederacy, nor fascism nor Trumpism willever rise again, and that a former
failed twenty four times felon sexual abusing, women hating, Obama hating and black
hating pathological liar will never again beallowed to set his racist as his genicidal
butt in the White House ever again. These people want to want to dismantle

(01:11:46):
social security. Folks. They're comingafter the money. Their belief is that
some people got too much money.If they're getting social Security and retirement at
the same time, they're coming afteryour money. They're going to come after
your health care too, because theynever wanted Obamacare. But these incompetent people,
Republicans never put forth for planning,and they just constantly shoot darts at

(01:12:08):
Obama Plan, and more people areinsured now under Obama Plan than any other
time in this country. When theytake over, they're gonna pull money from
all those because the real intent behindall this stuff is that elderly people,
older folks die die off. Yes, no rights, no medical care,

(01:12:28):
no social security, no social programs, none of those things. Just die
off and let the rich survive.Thank you, doctor Harper. Doctor Harper
said it. He's been here,this is third time, so he's given
you some information. Now go readit for your self, Doctor Harper.

(01:12:50):
We're going to our phone lines totalk to some of our listeners. Thank
y'all so much for waiting and beingpatient. WDIA high caller, Hi caller,
I don't hear anybody. Hold on. I'll go to the next one.

(01:13:10):
W D I A hi caller.Good afternoon, my most beautiful asking
Violet. How are you doing today? My sister? Hey David, how
are you, brother? I'm holdingon, Sister, I'm holding on.
Hold on, brother, hold on, I got too, and don't let
go. Brother. Doc, howyou doing today? Brother? I'm fine?
Brother. How are you brother?Brother? Well, you already heard

(01:13:32):
me. I hear, I hearyou, But I missed the first part
of the show. Bell Please tellme it's gonna be on your podcast.
Yes, it will, okay,thank you, sister. But I did
come in on twenty twenty five,Docuh, it was the FBI is not
a friend of black folks at start, right, But it was the president

(01:13:57):
FBI. They recently warned us aboutthe nation's greatest threats white supremacist That was
recently, that was within the lastone three years. True, And the
FBI is under the Justice Department.That's right. De folks ain't connecting the
dock side of doc. No.No, look look, I think a

(01:14:18):
sister from Atlanta on p Bass NewsHour yesterday said it best. She said
she is fine with the status quotebecause she remembers twenty sixteen and the level
of chaos of Trump's presidency. Shestated that she is fine if it remains
as it is with President Biden.I agree with that. I really couldn't

(01:14:40):
have said it better. Bell.We got some We got some smart sisters,
including you. You just they choseyour right main here, but you're
still smart. Okay. Now,I'm gonna say this for every Negro out
there it got something bad to sayabout women and leadership roles, I'm fine

(01:15:00):
with them from the pulpit to thepresidency. If sister I always get a
name WRONGA Kamela Kamela, thank you, sister is running as president. She
got my vote. And for thoseof you who don't remember, during COVID,
the Prime Minister of New Zealand handledit ten times a hundred times better

(01:15:25):
than that orange clown we had.But I want to go back to some
dot In regards to Republicans, Iheard a little bit, but now a
whole lot. I didn't vote forSenator McCain when he ran for president because
I thought the Civil Rights Museum visithe made was just pandering. But I
am pretty sure that President Obama didn'tforget that Senator McCain defended him with a

(01:15:49):
white woman in the audience while hewas on the Campell trail. Trail stated
that Obama was a mother and whenMcCain had to, he had the vote.
He had the vote that would wipeout the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare.
He refused. He refused. Trumpwas man Trump, Trump turned doc

(01:16:14):
owned he refused a vote to wipeout the Affordable Care At aka Obama Court
Obamacare. And when President Obama waselected President McCain it was one of the
one of the greatest speeches I everheard when he talked about the history of
this country and the fact that we'veelected our first after American president. I'm

(01:16:39):
saying that to say this, Doc, this is not the Republican Party.
It's the Trumplican Party, plain andsimple. It's a call. It is
no longer a political party, buta cool aid drinking call. Yes that
should care anyone. It scans thehell out of me because I remember town,

(01:17:00):
don't y'all? Yes, yes,shoot, you know. One of
the great things that I beloved ifPresident President Obama did as president was to
put together mechanism to prepare this countryfor a pandemic. It was mostly based
on Ebola. If memory serves mecorrectly, His administration knew that it was
likely that we would someday have todeal with the pandemic again and history so

(01:17:25):
that that we dealt with before.But because of Trump's hatred of the President
President, he dismantled this mechanism assoon as he became president or soon after.
Therefore, President Trump is partially responsiblefor a million people dying for COVID.
No, he didn't kill one personon Fifth Avenue, but he shows

(01:17:47):
how killed a million people on mainstreets across this country and got away with
it. He's a damn bumbling idiot. Don't believe in science, believe in
me. Lastly, here's an analogythat was inspired by my girl married off
married. I hope you and yourhusband are doing fired and why I'm voting

(01:18:08):
for Biden. If I gave mykeys to my cop to President o'biden.
President Biden, excuse me, OldBiden. President wish was thinking President Biden.
But I may have to help himto his destination sit in a in
a passenge of sheet because he's alittle bit forgetful. But I know he's
driving safely, following the law,not running red light, not doing donuts,

(01:18:34):
not speeding and driving drunk. Itmay take us a little longer,
but we'll get that safely if Igive my keys to Trump, and I
know because he had said and shownthat first we are likely to have an
argument over the wheel first, andthen the destination. He hasn't a problem

(01:18:54):
with running red light, stop signed, driving recklessly, or picking up hook
us on the way, picking uppuss us on the way. He doesn't
drink, so at least that partis good. But he is a man
that has shown everybody because he don'twant to go to jail, that if

(01:19:14):
he doesn't get his weight, thenhe would drive the car off the cliff,
put the foot on the pel andcrash it through a concrete wall,
or drive it into the Mississippi River. He can't have my feet, my
keys on my vote. Tell no, don't vote for Trump. Dump them.
Like Doc said, thank you foryour time and your patience. Brothers

(01:19:39):
have a good, David and Beth. I'm voting for the Biden administration.
Yeah, I'm voting for the team. Yeah, because presidents they all have
teams. That team, they haveteams, and the vice president is strong
on that team. I hear you, Okay, w D I a hey
caller the afternoon, w Lane,Hey mo Lee, Doctor Harper. They're

(01:20:05):
always good to hear you. Ijust wanted to say that twenty twenty five
Project twenty twenty five turns this countryinto a fascist paradiseaches and one of the

(01:20:26):
truly main objectives of the twenty twentyfive cult is to have a cos which
is a convention of the States,and that is the ability to alter the
Constitution through amendments using Article five,which empowers the states to call for a

(01:20:51):
constitutional convention. What we don't understand, a lot of people don't understand,
is that no rule apply to anArticle five constitutional convention, and so the
results and the consequences could be verycatastrophic, definitely for democracy and for human

(01:21:15):
and civil rights in this country.Because all bets are row the Articles of
Confederation did not work. Therefore,the constitutional Convention was called in seventeen eighty
seven eighty six eighty seven, andthey were going to modify and address the

(01:21:35):
problems of the Articles of Confederation.Essentially, what they did is it just
threw them out and created the Constitutionright from scratch. So that's exactly what
could happen if there was a constitutionalconvention called twenty eight two thirds of the

(01:21:57):
states to call it, legislatures ofthis states to call it. There are
six states short right now, twentyeight states have signed on the bottom line.
Objective is number one to give statelegislatures the exclusive power to nullify federal

(01:22:18):
laws and regulations, and with asimple majority of states, they could ban
together to rescind any Act of Congress. The second most important issue on their
map is to get rid of thefourteenth Amendment. The fourteenth Amendment really broken

(01:22:42):
in the Second Revolution. What itdid is it requires the states to observe
the Bill of Rights. What wedon't understand is that when the Constitution was
ratified and the seventeen eighty seven therewas not a Bill of Rights. It

(01:23:02):
was four years later in seventeen ninetyone when we had the ratification of the
first ten amendments to the Constitution.But the Bill of Rights initially applied only
to the federal government and didn't applyto the states. There was no vehicle
in the document that allowed you toapply the protections of the first ten Amendments

(01:23:28):
against the governments of the states ofviolating your rights. That's what the fourteenth
Amendment put into play. So it'sthe largest amendment in terms of length.
It's more than four hundred words,and it consists of five sections, and
each of them, in one wayor another, put the limits on what

(01:23:49):
the government of a state can doto its own people, to anyone,
a citizen or an alien. Again, state governments accord to every person both
due process of law and the equalprotection of the law. And it is
through the due process clause of thefourteenth Amendment that the first ten Amendments the

(01:24:15):
Bill of Rights are applied to theindividual states. It's called the corporation.
Once you start campering with the fourteenthAmendment, Kiss the goodass of democracy.
Good bind Thank you, moi.You all continue to thrive. We need

(01:24:39):
to continue to read. Doctor.A couple of books that I think I'm
going to send you the titles ofthat tie into this. One deals with
the capitalism of slavery. The otherone deals with the accountings of slavery,
talks about the cost benefit analysis,the productivity first slaves as much of slow

(01:25:01):
charts and and uh in numbers.But I think that you might help you,
like Tia and give you a littlebit of more information. In the
meantime, both of you continue tothrive, you too, Moe, thank
you, Molee and w D Ia Hi caller, ms Bell Brother Bernard

(01:25:24):
doctor Hopper. Yes, sir,I love I love the broadcast. I
love the intelligence that you share.Dtr Harper. You know, I had
to compliment uh Meritis and uh mssLily on their on their comments earlier and

(01:25:44):
it it it correlates with with thebroadcast at the moment. But I think
while we focus on this federal election, which is very very important, we
are to focus on this congressional electionsas much. I heard Meredith commenting on

(01:26:05):
Steve Cohen, and I put itout there early on it might be time
that we stopped going with Cohen anda lot of our people within the population,
a lot of our people failed torealize that Steve Cohen is the chairperson
of the Reparations Committee for People ofColor Okay, and also Cohen is also

(01:26:35):
representing one of the largest congressional districtswhere people of color are the majority.
So what are we doing? Whyare we not talking about having someone who's
not of the majority representing the majority. Okay, I did not see the

(01:26:57):
broadcast the Meretith was comenting on,but I believe her wholeheartedly because it has
been it's we're pastime where we needa new congress person. We need a
new congress person. That's it's thebottom line. We're not gonna dress it
up. It's time for us touh uh possibly replace this person. He's

(01:27:20):
been befooling us for a good while. I understand the appropriations that he appropriates.
That's normal, he gets that opportunity. But we need someone that's in
touch with the people. And asfar as complementing Miss Lily on her comments
regarding the the Shelby County Health Department, you know, we have these local

(01:27:45):
leaders that are dressed up as Democrats, but essentially they are operating as Republicans,
and so we have a lot ofpeople wearing the mask. And I'm
not going to against the director ofthe Chelby County Health Department whatsoever, but
we have to have people that areon the ground floor that are assisting our

(01:28:10):
people. I heard him its Lilysay that a lot of the community members
were not in favor of having theShelby County Health Department at their panel,
and they were told that they weregoing to be safe and secure from those
cancer calls and percentagens in that community. And we also need to focus more

(01:28:31):
on the Tennessee Department of Environment andConservation, which is the official environmental regulatory
for the state of Tennessee. TDECK which is the acronym for this Tennessee
Department of Environments. They approve thesepermits when these different establishments are releasing these

(01:28:57):
admissions into our air. And sowe have people there's an Environmental Field office
that's in Bartlett on behalf of theTennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. We
need to press these people and stayon top of it because we already have
a lot of pollution going on,a lot of cancer calls and concinisions.

(01:29:19):
And we know that it's in theBox Town community, it's in the Florida
Street community, it's in the Southpark Way community, and we just have,
you know, these local officials thatare absorbing funds on our expenditures and
again, I understand that we doneed to focus on this federal election,

(01:29:42):
and while we do, let's notforget about the local the ninth Congressional district
where Steve Coin is it. Itis time that we possibly get rid of
him because he is poor, heis deceptive, and he is not of
our community, and he's not onthe ground floor. He might pull a

(01:30:02):
stunt after hearing this message, butit's time we have other people that are
qualified that need to step in UHand who are not afraid to step up
and do what's right. Ms.May of you know, thank you,
brother Bernard. I appreciate m.Thank you, Thank you brother. Good
show today, Doctor Harper. Lastwords you like to say to our listeners,

(01:30:25):
you've brought us good information. Andagain this is doctor Harper's third time
talking about Project twenty twenty five.Doctor yeah, it probably won't be the
last, Doctor Harper, you rappedthat come back again. Well, you
know, I would hope that thehonorable Mayor Mary Young would would come on
and talk about that. I wouldhope that Steve Cohen would come on and
talk about it. I would hopethat that that that all the the the

(01:30:47):
uh, the the politicians that wevote for here that that are responsible for
taking care of Shelby County and evidentlyour money's taking care of the rest of
the state. I think every oneof those politicians should be on here,
and we are all basically are sayingthe same thing, and that is that
that that pro that this that thisparticular program twenty twenty five is is anti

(01:31:08):
democratic, it's pro fascist, isanti us, and that we have to
take a stand and we need toput in office a democratic administration so that
we can basically hopefully hold them evenmore accountable than we have in the past.
But that trump Ism and the andthe twenty twenty five project must be
the last straw. It's calling forthe elimination of our democracy. It's calling

(01:31:32):
for the elimination of us as apeople in terms of having rights. Wake
up, Black folks, wake up. Thank you doctor Warren Harper, our
psychologist, mental health specialist race Man. Thank you, doctor Harper. Until
