Everything that's going on isn't necessarily beautiful, but we still have a beautiful country, right? And as I watch the school rollout, I call it, you know, the opening of school and I hear the gripes and the complaints about school. Not necessarily the government schools anyway, not necessarily being ready like they would want them to and principles not being posted, etc. I'm wondering about the system at large. Right, the system. And I want to talk about that today. I'm run to this text and I'm going to run to the phone lines. This text says Good day NH NHI has yet to pay its providers the outstanding funds for July 60% outstanding nor the outstanding of for August 100%. I don't know if there's any truth to this, but this is what the text is saying. And I pray that if that is true that you get some relief very soon. That's not. That's not a good thing. Let's run to the phone lines. Kermit here on radio Today. Caller, you are live on Guardian radio today. Go ahead. We can hear you. Yes, sir. Yeah, very low. [00:05:53] Speaker B: You can hear me better now? [00:05:54] Speaker A: Yes, yes, much better. [00:05:56] Speaker B: Okay. Uncle, you're still a producer. Once a producer, always you could run everything. [00:06:01] Speaker A: Yes, sir. [00:06:01] Speaker B: I remember you and Kirby from back in the day. [00:06:04] Speaker A: Teach me, you see. [00:06:05] Speaker B: Yeah, it's going to teach you. [00:06:06] Speaker A: Yeah, well, Bodean and Kirby. [00:06:09] Speaker B: Yeah, that's another one too. Boating with Kirby. [00:06:11] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:06:13] Speaker B: How much you use Rally Boy too? [00:06:15] Speaker A: Not by as one. As one family. As one family. As a one family. But I love Junkanoo. I love all the groups, man, you know. I respect all the Junkanoo groups but my heart had one family, you know. [00:06:27] Speaker B: Yes, sir. Respect though. [00:06:28] Speaker A: Yeah, man. [00:06:29] Speaker B: Yeah. My boy Barney was too before he gone. He was toxin. But I swallie now born toxin. You. I wanted to find out from you since you say this open line. [00:06:39] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:39] Speaker B: Fall in the story. What they talking about? Everybody. Most everyone talking about with the Tribune talking about Carlos Leader and Selenium and the Tribune. [00:06:47] Speaker A: I read. I read that story. Right. [00:06:50] Speaker B: You don't want to talk about that, eh? [00:06:51] Speaker A: Well, I don't. All I could say is what's in the paper. I don't have any. Any. Any information other than what. Because I. That's. How am I going to research, right. [00:07:00] Speaker B: This whole thing seems to be offensive to a lot of people who still. You know, family members and people who still alive was there from back in the days. [00:07:08] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. I imagine offenses. I imagine it would be. However. However, we cannot pretend that we didn't have a problem. [00:07:20] Speaker B: A challenge. [00:07:21] Speaker A: Yeah, a challenge. A drug era if you wish. A false economy if you wish in this country. [00:07:28] Speaker B: So you think knowing. I believe you As a believer who believe that, do you believe if something is true, even if it's offensive, it need to be said? You think so? [00:07:41] Speaker A: I didn't give the intention to say it. [00:07:44] Speaker B: No, it's the intentions is to bring the truth out, but it's gonna be offensive. [00:07:47] Speaker A: Yeah, See, the truth, the truth usually is offensive to liars. Let's be clear about that. Right. However, if indeed the truth needs to be spoken, then I'm all for the truth being spoken. [00:08:05] Speaker B: Even if it hurts somebody feelings, Even. [00:08:08] Speaker A: If it hurts some feelings offensive. Now if the people who, who are being affected are saying, well that's not what happened, then I think they need to speak that truth. [00:08:17] Speaker B: Like how you speak to him with the Bible? [00:08:19] Speaker A: Yes, yes. [00:08:20] Speaker B: Cuz you know, you offend people. [00:08:22] Speaker A: Of course, just like the Messiah, you. [00:08:24] Speaker B: Don'T do it to offend people. [00:08:25] Speaker A: I don't do it to offend people. But I, I, I, I walk with the same intention that the Messiah walk with when he walked on the earth. You know, you know, the truth, the truth can make us free. So if the truth is offending a person, then that person must be thriving off of lies. [00:08:41] Speaker B: Straight up, last part. [00:08:42] Speaker A: Thriving, thriving off of lies. They must be being fed by lies. [00:08:47] Speaker B: Okay, when I, when I hear you can't go, and when I first start, I wanted to like find out how deep you know about the story, what they talk about and what Carlos, Lena and all that stuff. You recall the part where, because you might be, you was a former lecturer, teacher, right? You was a reader? [00:09:06] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:06] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah, yeah. [00:09:07] Speaker A: You don't teach this in school though. [00:09:09] Speaker B: Okay, so chief with the Carlist leader part, I mean, I don't want to be offensive to no one. But do you think, do you think that you think the Tribune just being, being a good, good newspaper reporting it or they trying to offend somebody? What you think? [00:09:35] Speaker A: I think they trying to sell newspapers. I think they trying to sell newspapers. I think they trying to make people. [00:09:41] Speaker B: Them saying that the grandson or the son of the owners them want a nomination from the plp. Seems like he want, he's gonna be a candidate. And why would they do something to that? [00:09:50] Speaker A: That is, that's a great question. If they, if that's a great question. [00:09:54] Speaker B: People, I say to myself, why, why would they be? I mean, I don't expect the truth. All right. Some people say you should apologize to the family or whosoever your friend. I don't have a problem with them, what I expect from them, knowing them over the years. So that's why People were saying they surprised to know the gentleman wanted a nomination from the plp. [00:10:16] Speaker A: Listen, I have a question. I have a question for you. This from a text. The persons whom the story is speaking about are not here to defend themselves. So how is this fair or balanced? That's the question. If the people can't defend themselves, how is it fair or balanced to bring forward a story like that? That's the question. [00:10:37] Speaker B: I could be wrong. What I might say, although you done gone or whatsoever. I feel like truth is the truth. It need to come out. If it's true, if it's any truth to it, it need to be. It need to come out. The gentleman who won the nomination for the plp, if I was him, I'd just stay focused on getting the nomination at the Tribune and do their part. I don't know if he's the one who's writing itself or, or probably not people in there writing it for him. Right. But I think he should just stay focused, let the Tribune do what they have to do. And as a child who might be offended, we need to understand that the Tribune or these papers them sometimes they have agenda but you know, I think, I think they in within the law to do, to do some of the things what they doing. I say to myself, filling in. But he had done a lot to help this country. I don't think he could control what everybody do. I think he only could speak for himself. [00:11:47] Speaker A: Of course not. I mean he was somebody who had, you know, commissioner inquiries before he even died. [00:11:59] Speaker B: You know, with the commission inquiry, they say that gentlemen with the pastor named Drexel Gomez, he was one of them. Either who was in charge or leading it. Everybody say the commissioner inquiry over if they had anything on anybody, the person would have been convicted or gone to jail or something. Was he comfortable? Was he satisfied? Because someone was saying that he's still in. They still, they still didn't finished wrap. Did they wrap it up? [00:12:27] Speaker A: No, no. I mean there's still a lot of questions that need to be answered. But here's another thing I want to throw at you. This is another text, right, which is kind of responding to the text before. So the text before said is it fair or balanced if the people are not here to defend themselves? Another text that says so we can't write stories about Columbus or Hitler or something, old slave masters just because they're dead, we can't write about them. [00:12:53] Speaker B: I going to talk about Robertson, Jesus and them two thief who was on the cross. I said that earlier, but I don't want to be offensive. No. [00:12:59] Speaker A: See, at the end of the day, what is the intention? That's the question. What is the intent behind the truth? [00:13:07] Speaker B: All right. It's good to get the truth. But what is the intention to bring it out? Now that's another point. 25 years or 30 years later it I'm gone. [00:13:16] Speaker A: It just happened. It just happened that this convicted Colombian drug trafficker. Right. Carlos Leader EVS for the first time publicly claim he gave 150,000amonth to Everett Bannister to pass directly to former prime minister Sir Lyndon Bennet. This is what the Tribune is writing, right. [00:13:38] Speaker B: So he's reporting what he had to say. Quoting him. [00:13:40] Speaker A: Quoting him. Right. So you know who. Who knows why at this point in time he wants to speak his truth. [00:13:49] Speaker B: God know. Yeah. And that's the serious thing. [00:13:51] Speaker A: He may be getting things off his chest. I don't know. [00:13:54] Speaker B: Yeah, you right. Would that not have to be nothing that you before you die on you do it? Maybe just people is do that. You know, you right with that people is clearly conscious him questions was asked to him in the court case and before they sentenced him to jail. But Selena and he say nice things. Well, he says the lending is a nice money. And I would say these things what he's saying with the Linden. All right. [00:14:16] Speaker A: Not to my knowledge. They say this is the first time he making this claim. [00:14:19] Speaker B: You think. You think he anything is possible. But you think it's a big chance that he's being paid to say this? [00:14:25] Speaker A: I don't know. I have no idea. [00:14:27] Speaker B: That's correct. And you have no idea if he was giving that money to the Mr. Barnes to carry. That way he's the only court no. [00:14:33] Speaker A: See with the trouble. The troubling. The troubling thing with stories like this is how do you prove it? [00:14:38] Speaker B: Did Barnister ever say anything before he died admit to this? [00:14:41] Speaker A: Not to my knowledge. Not to my knowledge. [00:14:44] Speaker B: One last thing. Yeah. Knowing that used to be in school too. And I like I say use an educator. Very serious young man. Proud people like you and others in this country keeping you all lit up and doing sensible things because you didn't have to be there. You could have been doing the most foolishness and talking foolishness. But uncle in the papers they must seek and Rick. One gentleman who was in a fight with another gentleman for 35 years in prison. And now I. I think they bring something back to court to say the gentleman the one who's alive was one dead. The one who's alive who get charged or convicted get 35 years or something like that. [00:15:19] Speaker A: Yes. [00:15:19] Speaker B: They saying he gets some locks growing on his raster. I get to learn when I was growing locks too, that something is a raster. You could be arrest or you could be a dreadlock. People in the court. I don't know if there's a prosecutor or whatsoever saying that. And I just quote him, correct me if, if I saying something. They saying that he, he, he just wearing raster. I lost. [00:15:42] Speaker A: They say, they say he's wearing it for vanity's sake. They say it's not a religious. [00:15:46] Speaker B: Not nothing to do with it. In something for style or something. [00:15:50] Speaker A: That's what is being cleaned. [00:15:51] Speaker B: That's my question to you before I go. Right. And then you can maybe think about it first. How do you determine how did they go that far and say, well, that's my. You say use a Christian that you know, Christian. I be thinking like it's the life you live is how you conduct yourself. But I want you to answer it and tell me something. What about the prison part? These people, when they get convicted and stuff and go to prison, I don't think they could vote even if they register. Right. Do you think if they register to vote before they convicted, if they should be able to, do you think we need to look into that and let them vote? But the real question is for Rasta, who in there, who's saying he want him to cut his hair, came to know Baba. Do you think that's a decision the, the, the, the, the prison should make? Because they talk about hygiene and different things, bringing drugs and weapons in, putting it in your hair and all that stuff. Do you think that should be something would leave up to the prison to do? Because I think they saying that's the way it is or that's something we need to look into. And don't force them to cut their hair if they claim that they, this, that's their religion. Sure. [00:16:56] Speaker A: Thank you. That's a great question. I would use that to my advantage if I were, you know, running this, the correctional center. Right. If you claim to be a Rastafarian and you have your locks, fine, you could keep your locks, but you can live up to the principles of Rastafari. I think that would make the prison a better place. That's, that's, that's my opinion. Right. If you cut his hair, how is that helping to correct his behavior? He made a mistake. I don't think he meant to kill the young man based on the story I heard. But in any event, he went There and what happened, happened. Right. But if you're gonna correct his behavior and you know, the prosecutor, obviously they have reasons for saying what they're saying. So I'm not on the young man's side or the prosecutor's side, but I'm looking at how are we gonna correct his behavior? How are we. I mean, in 35 years, he have a lot to think about. You know, his hair may. May help him to. To hold. Hold on to something that will actually help him live a better life. All right, let's run to the text right quick. Good day. At my age, I know people who are associated with Carlos Leader, that's still alive, okay. As it relates to the truth, lies and conformity. The truth will send them to jail. So this is. This is in. In and for and for spiritual context. Now, any avid reader will know that the truth is elusive and thrives amongst humanity because humanity thrives and is swimming in an ecosystem of lies. So this text is saying, you know, this could affect people. All right, tell the text that people who are a part of these illegal activities. I don't understand the last part of that. Sorry, Dexter. All right, let's run back to the phone lines here on Guardian Radio today. It's an open line today. I want to know what's making you tick. What's on your radar? Call of your life. [00:18:49] Speaker B: Good afternoon. [00:18:50] Speaker A: Good afternoon. How you doing? [00:18:51] Speaker B: Yeah, I believe that there are men are still alive today with your leader. And they maybe if they want to come forward and testify the truth. I don't believe that he gives Mr. Penland. I mean, Banister. Yeah, Banister. This money. Mr. Banister is dead and Mr. Pending is dead. No one is there to defend their own self. But I believe there are people who will know it ain't true. But I feel this is political and that they. No one will come forward and say no something that ain't true. What this man is saying. You know, why this man didn't say this when he was going to prison or Waters board, why Mr. Pennington was maybe alive and stuff like that, you know, and I can leave that. [00:19:49] Speaker A: Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. What would be the motive of Carlos Leader? I think his last name is. What would be the motive for him to get involved in our politics by saying that. [00:20:02] Speaker B: What would be the. Be the most. It maybe want to look bad on the plp. That's all you can say. But what would he gain is a gangster. [00:20:12] Speaker A: What would he gain by doing that? [00:20:14] Speaker B: Bill, I don't know what he may gain but something something look fishy Something is not right all of a sudden now couple more months before election and all the things are rising up who will be next who will somebody lie on and say this one dude when they did see we feel happy when something be something bad is saying about somebody family yeah but when it's our family we cry wolf and start making it that ain't no true the next thing but my last two pointers what you think should be done for those two pilots and Harbin that were fighting. [00:21:00] Speaker A: On the plane but didn't they move them immediately? [00:21:04] Speaker B: They moved them but now we don't know if they still gonna have their. [00:21:10] Speaker A: Jobs I don't think they should lose their jobs but I think they should be suspended I think they should have some counseling I think whatever the issue is I don't believe in throwing people away Right. When I was a senior master at a Catherine International Academy and I dealt with students who were fighting or students who I could tell there was something going on deeper than what the fight was showing me Right. I would really give them the opportunity to explain what is the real issue the fight is the symptom the fight is not necessarily the issue Right. Is there something wrong with the work environment? Right. Is there something that had been complained about you know previously or over and over again that was not addressed by their, by their superiors? Right. Often these things don't happen in a vacuum Right But I don't think they should lose their jobs I think I think they should be reprimanded definitely okay. [00:22:09] Speaker B: Yeah My last point is you talking about the system with the school yeah we, someone should be able to broke this system because there's no way, there's no way we're going through the same year every year every year we don't have enough headmistress or headmaster to put in these schools Just say, just saying if I have, if I'm a director and under my portfolio for just say 50 school throughout the Bahamas I know head mistress or headmaster should be placed in all of those schools I should not wait until the last week of school will be opening and scrambling and stuff like that it's my responsibility to make sure that that is carried out and stuff like that we have to really be serious when we are putting people in these places teach up to know what they're supposed to do if they don't know what they're supposed to do be afraid to move these people yeah because look some of the art school them is don't have no head Mistress or whatever. Not some. You know, this is so shameful and stuff like that. [00:23:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:27] Speaker B: For you to be. [00:23:29] Speaker A: I'm the director. [00:23:30] Speaker B: And Sable, in the week to come, we can place these things. You should, you should notice. Long time. Yeah, you should, you should notice. Thank you. [00:23:41] Speaker A: Thank you very much. You know, oftentimes in these situations, it's not that people don't know that the schools need a headmistress or principal, but it's the bureaucracy, man. I remember former minister Jeff Lloyd In 2017, I was reading an article where just. He was calling for. I don't know if this ever happened. He was calling for the Ministry of Education of their own construction company outside of the Ministry of Works. Because all of the bureaucracy and the time it takes to get stuff done, it just wastes time. Right. So I don't know the logistics behind why those people weren't placed yet, but I could guarantee you that the people in education ain't sitting down on their thumbs, sitting on their hands, waiting till September to get stuff done. I guarantee you that ain't what's happening. All right, let's read this text and then we go back to the phone lines. All right, Good. Good afternoon. The truth is the truth. It doesn't matter what the motives of Mr. Carlos or the Tribune are. If it happened. It calls into question legacy of many people, especially those mentioned in the commission of inquiry. It's treasonous and set up many behemoths to be slaves to drugs and corruption. Fix the problem instead of killing the messenger. All right, Dexter, strong words. Let's run back to the phone lines. 3236-232253-16325-4259. Calling you live here on Guardian Radio today. Call it going once. All right. [00:25:13] Speaker B: Hello. [00:25:14] Speaker A: Hey, how you doing, my brother? [00:25:15] Speaker B: Hey, good afternoon, Andrew. [00:25:16] Speaker A: Yeah, man, good to hear you. [00:25:17] Speaker B: You know, I, I wish I had the text a number. You know, I, I love that text, man. I don't know who that is. I, I, I say that yes, he probably is an arbitrary too. But what I'm saying is right. I don't know who's guilty, who's filthy or whatever. Right. As much as I like being right, I can swear for the one because if I move out in the back of life to Kilaus or West region, they say I someone give me $2 million. You think? See, what I'm saying is when you read the book the Cocaine Wars, Aaron called it cocaine cowboys, but the book named the Cocaine wars, it's co authored. I read this Book so long ago, at least about 25 years or more, right. So I can't even remember the authors, but I think it was some guys out of Florida or whatever. But the book is there for everybody to go and look at. One of the things I. And I read also as a young man coming out of high school, I may have been. Well, how old I was when the commissioner. I might have been about 8, maybe I was 17, 16, going on 17, whatever. But I don't know if I could have worked. I can't remember but a Commissioner McQuarrie. But I remember reading it avidly in the dailies, right? And I remember reading things like where the common dollar of the defense was at that time had UHF and radio system to communicate with these people. There was documentation of the virus activity within the defense was. There was information that the Bahamian government wasn't paying attention to Norman's Key until it became like they publicized it because it was. But when I listened to the documentary, the contemporary one, one of the things I disagreed was they. They were saying Jolie Coliselle was bragging about. They were saying he owned islands in the Bahamas. So this is what they was throwing out. Some of their statements were inglorious. But when you read the book and you do the chronology also in the book somebody also mentioned how easy it was to bribe Satan officers in Bimini and Satan. And they would pull up an iron and play. They have a flat tie. There's all type of things in there. But these people who come in, they wouldn't read anything to juxtapose anything. This is what I hate about us as Negroes. We will down someone else, but we would praise another person. But what I'm saying is I don't know who did what. But what I'm saying is I was trying to. There are people who are living today that if people can disability, of course they would be afraid. There are people who are living today. It's not like this is a long time ago and Ray, Ray, Ray. You know what I mean? But really and truly. But the question as to what drives me right angle is I. I was fruitful and I multiplied. I have three children, right? Which is. Which is not, you know, which is not enough. I may be like Howard one day of 10, right? But what I'm saying is the social engineering of humanity has led to some eugenical concepts in which a black woman, whether or white, they go to Bay College, they give any more babies. And so the migrants coming in there went with you all and all of that they having babies and they doing with God's sake. So what I'm saying is, and I ensured make a way. And where there's a will, there'll be a way. So you all of a sudden now back in the days, mom, them some people have 13, 14, 15 children. I know one woman of. And all them some is doing doctors as teachers and nurses. I'm telling you. All right, they know. They hear me. Yeah. So what I'm saying is we must realize our own ignorance and then the conformity that humanity is undergoing and stop critiquing one another. Now why? They say, well, why would poor people have children? And so then you have concepts like the implementation of Bill Gates where they have this electronic system for remote control abortion. You have the situation in Kenya the other day where they ran in the guise of giving tetanus short. This was actually giving humans hcg, human chorionic gonadotrophins. Right. Which is a hormone to suppress pregnancy. So in short, they want to control the population. And so they're doing it. Social incrementalism in which they're doing it. The world wouldn't realize what they're doing. You see what I'm saying? So they don't want you to have any children. And it is what it is. [00:29:00] Speaker A: They can't have any children. And they don't want us to have any children. [00:29:03] Speaker B: Yeah. What drives me is my children. And then I have a picture of my mom up in the little shop, right? [00:29:08] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:10] Speaker B: A friend of mine came and he said, man, you notice if the picture tilt. I figure you in a bad mood. I said, but you know something? I don't look at the picture when people around. It's the only people when I end the show up waking late at night by myself. I look at mom, this picture smiling. Mom would have been maybe about 20 in them time smiling at me. You know what I mean? So you know, these are the types of things that drive me. So people you don't want to know know me. [00:29:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:32] Speaker B: Then I know myself. You see what I'm saying? But I want you like, like papa say, keep up the good works. Don't worry who your friend. [00:29:37] Speaker A: Yes. [00:29:38] Speaker B: You say, saying I'm good because you got people out there who know what you're saying. That's like how some people out there know what I'm saying. [00:29:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:44] Speaker B: See, I'm saying the people quick to critique. [00:29:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:46] Speaker B: Without being too visceral and critiquing and ignorant. I love that text. You're attacking the message instead of the Message. And I wish. I wish everybody would do that in the media would stop entertaining. People would play. When you critique someone, please critique them factually. Please. The day of it will be a better place. Give. Thank you. Amen. [00:30:02] Speaker A: Amen. Amen. So going back to the article, right, the Tribune article, because people have asking, well, why would he say this Right leader. Leader made these allegations in a YouTube interview with former mobster Michael Franzes, right, Promoted alongside his new book where he detailed how he turned Norman's key into a cocaine smuggling hub and described the financial arrangement that he said shielded him from interference at the highest levels of bohemian government. So they sell on the. This, this is. This is about promotion. You know what I'm saying? Everyone's a text. And then I go back to the. To the phone lines. This Texas says I would never put those two pilots to work together again. I agree with that. They can't wait to get them. You gotta. You gotta separate them. They definitely gotta work together. If an incident even transpires with either one again, then drastic measures should be taken. I agree Dexter. They can't wait together and they should be on some serious probation. Let's run back to the phone lines here on Guardian radio. Guardian radio today. [00:31:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:31:06] Speaker A: Yes, Grammy boy. [00:31:07] Speaker B: Was he grammy boy saying some stuff. Anything I want to. What 52 saying is maybe we need to let the Bahamian doubtful people or the political ones know where Normans Key was in proximity to Nassau. Normans key was 10 minutes by charter plane, five seater out of Nassau. Now if you take the prime ministers and ministers, he didn't know about that because you could almost run and long jump over there. If you think they know that then I got ice to sell their people, you know, in the car, you understand? And that's as much as I can take a sweetie there. But it basically, basically sustained me, right, with the incident and the young man, the raster man who was just sentenced to 35 years. See, the only thing we are hearing is his side of the story. [00:32:06] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:32:07] Speaker B: We have not heard from the lady or the. The landlord supposedly. [00:32:13] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:32:14] Speaker B: And so I wouldn't really make a judgment on that to say oh he innocent or the tire too much. Because we need to hear from all sides now obviously uncle, the magistrate of the judge, he believe it clearly. [00:32:32] Speaker A: See, see. Let me tell you what. When I first heard the story, right, I didn't realize that according to what the news report said, he didn't start the fight. But he came there. He was. He was the ex boyfriend. And the two of them Reportedly had weapons. And then they dropped the weapons, start fighting. He had. One of them was in a headlock. The fellow who going to jail, he was in a headlock and he stopped the fellow to stop him from being in the headlock. That's the story what I heard, right. He ain't gonna kill him based on what I hear in that story. But he hit an artery, ephemeral artery that I nothing to play with. Right? [00:33:08] Speaker B: Let's see. [00:33:09] Speaker A: So, yeah, so it's, it's unfortunate. First of all, he shouldn't have gone around. Now he was there. Yeah, that's me, everybody. [00:33:17] Speaker B: Oh, he was invited. [00:33:19] Speaker A: See, I ended up. I. I don't know the story. I didn't know what the newest say, right? [00:33:23] Speaker B: But. [00:33:23] Speaker A: But when I hear ex boyfriend, I mean, you know, move on, bro. [00:33:29] Speaker B: Which one of you will have your new girlfriend at your apartment and invite you over there? [00:33:34] Speaker A: Never, never, never. [00:33:37] Speaker B: See, when the police catch you come up with all kind of story. When you get hit or something, you come up with all kind of story. Oh, I was invited to escape, right, I'll go say something. But you on the radio, people listening. That's utter nonsense. You understand? Now when it comes to his hair, when you see, See, I don't know if you remember from way back in the day with billboards when all the little bad raster boys used to get catch and go to Foxville and come out thick and ball head. [00:34:05] Speaker A: Yeah, see, you remember that? I do remember that. [00:34:08] Speaker B: Stephen Williams, that big thick rocker Napoli. And all them fellas going to prison when they come on, they gotta go that blocks over. So that was always a practice. Once you are seven of our state. Yes, but you got to cut your ear. [00:34:26] Speaker A: But that's a policy I didn't agree with. [00:34:27] Speaker B: Though. Maybe you don't agree to provide you sentence because. [00:34:33] Speaker A: No, see that, that was, that was discrimination against Rastafarians. [00:34:37] Speaker B: Why is that discrimination? [00:34:39] Speaker A: Because that is their religious right. See, when they grab. [00:34:42] Speaker B: When they grab. [00:34:42] Speaker A: Hold on. When they grab Muda Baruca. I don't know why in Brimstone was gonna hit Nassau. [00:34:47] Speaker B: So, you know, we get slack over the years, but see, when you pick up a gun and you kill someone or you rob someone and you're incarcerated, charged and incarcerated, a lot of your civil rights are taken away. [00:35:03] Speaker A: I agree a lot. But, but you have some, some human rights that remain intact. [00:35:08] Speaker B: So you want, if you be able to do this and do that, then don't do the crime. [00:35:14] Speaker A: No, I agree. That's why they in jail. I ain't Saying, I ain't saying you shouldn't get locked up, but you can't, you can't strip someone of their religion. [00:35:22] Speaker B: Because of that is not design. And, and when you go to prison with long hair like that, you know, that's a handle. [00:35:35] Speaker A: What you mean? [00:35:35] Speaker B: You know, you and somebody get in a fight. [00:35:37] Speaker A: Yeah, but that's the risk. [00:35:38] Speaker B: You grab your hair, your hair. [00:35:40] Speaker A: That's the risk you take. [00:35:42] Speaker B: And they could strangle you with that. [00:35:44] Speaker A: Yeah, that's the, and see, having locks don't make prison the red skeleton. But okay, the point I'm making is it's a correctional center. So if you, if you, if you intend for this person to come back on the street and be a, a person who could benefit this, this society, then there are certain things you got to leave in place. Yeah, man, once you commit a crime. [00:36:03] Speaker B: You got great loss over I, I, I ain't moving. [00:36:06] Speaker A: I disagree. I disagree. [00:36:07] Speaker B: That depends on the state. That depends on the laws of the state. [00:36:11] Speaker A: Constitution protects. The Constitution protects people's religious rights. [00:36:15] Speaker B: Yeah, that really protect you what you love by citizen, uncle. [00:36:19] Speaker A: That's what the guy. That's what the constitution say. [00:36:23] Speaker B: That's basically what it says. [00:36:24] Speaker A: You've been up there before. You've been up, you've been up, you've been up to the cruise. [00:36:27] Speaker B: I've been incarcerated before. [00:36:29] Speaker A: So you know, so you know, so you know they have all section for Christians then. You know, they have old section. [00:36:35] Speaker B: You get to be. You could wake up. Whatever. You won't wake up. You got a real red white. [00:36:41] Speaker A: You got a real red white buddy up. But I appreciate it, man.

It was the late Norman Solomon former member of parliament for surely who exposed the drug activities at Normans Key which prompted the appointment of the commission of inquiry. The late Lyndon Pinland was Prime Minister. Many persons including some senior police officers and others amongst whom was our late Prime Minister were condemned. That is a part of our history as many people don't want to acknowledge is what it is. We acknowledge the many good things that Sir Lyndon did for the country and we give him props. Well similarly we must hold him and whomever else responsible for whatever went wrong on their watch. That is why today's and future leaders must take note. Amen and amen. You know I think if we.

Let's say I ain't gonna take long, but I wanted to find out from you also if you're following the election over there in Jamaica tomorrow. God spell I. PNP and J. Jlp. [00:44:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:44:34] Speaker B: The two parties, them. And I was wondering if they similar like the PLP and fm. I hear them talking about gold and I'm talking about orange and green. I was wondering if you was following it. If you think. If you see it like how I can't see but I following it a little bit. And it seems like this, this opposition party, the PNP with Marky G. With Mark golden, seems like they get the momentum. Like they seem like the majority of people talking more for them. And he ain't saying that the JLP and the Prime Minister. Mr. What that one name he named the whole holding the wholeness. [00:45:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:45:12] Speaker B: It seems like he still get people with him, but it feel like this. The. The. The. The victory going with the pnp. So we can see all final. [00:45:20] Speaker A: You know, I, I saw. I think it was Mr. Holness. He was talking about their minimum wage and they were going to raise the minimum wage. [00:45:28] Speaker B: He promised a lot of stuff. [00:45:29] Speaker A: Yeah. And some. So I haven't followed it closely but. But you know, some things have come across my time. [00:45:34] Speaker B: He promised a lot of stuff. I mean and I don't know if he had the opportunity to do it and he didn't do it or he wanted. He did something. He wanted to improve it. But this my golden mind Opposition leader. [00:45:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:45:43] Speaker B: He sound like he. He be. He almost sound like a brave Davis before. Before brave Davis then Prime Minister. And we see this different person now. But he sound like the things what he's been doing. [00:45:54] Speaker A: See, Papa, let me tell you. I blame us, you know, I blame the voters because we like run off the promises we love. We love promises. [00:46:03] Speaker B: Not just promises, I'm saying. And all of them is promised. Even, even my go. Even the, the present Prime Minister promising that all the politicians promise. [00:46:12] Speaker A: But I'm saying go, you go try get a vote. No, don't get no promises. See what happened. [00:46:17] Speaker B: But the marquee chief fellow seems like he been doing without being the Prime Minister. Things like supporting people. Supporting. I hear him talk about when, when something happens, some part of the world must be Israel or somewhere. And he sends gone in his pocket for the people. I remember Brave Davis talking about spending money on his pocket, helping to build. And we all know he'd been doing it for years. And you know, he get the opposite. The opportunity to be prior. [00:46:39] Speaker A: Most politicians take money out they pocket. Most politicians take money out their pocket. [00:46:45] Speaker B: Yeah. So. So you, you know, but the PNP and the jpl. [00:46:48] Speaker A: Yeah, I know about them. [00:46:49] Speaker B: Okay. [00:46:50] Speaker A: My parents, my parents was married in Jamaica, my dad even to jc. I love Jamaica and I don't follow their politics, you know, closely. But I. I have an idea. [00:46:59] Speaker B: I don't want to say this without being offensive. [00:47:01] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:47:01] Speaker B: Like the ledge gangsters or even the artist. Them. The serious thing, the, the check up and all that stuff. And all that stuff. They were the pnp. They were the PNP and Trump somebody. [00:47:17] Speaker A: So, you know, a lot of that violence goes back to even, you know, when my daddy was in school in Jamaica. That was in the 50s, you know, it wasn't, it wasn't like that. But as when they found bauxite in Jamaica and they devalued the money and you know, the CIA is allegedly said to have done some things. Yeah. So it ain't just Jamaica. You see what I'm saying? It ain't just the dons and the different people who. [00:47:50] Speaker B: So we far from that age or how far we is from how we live. Not the financial part, but I mean, you know. [00:47:59] Speaker A: Boy, listen, when you see some of these videos without these fellas jumping out of cars and shooting people being far. And we smaller than Jamaica, at least Jamaica bigger than us. As far as New Providence is concerned. You know, Andrews is another story. But New Providence is way smaller than Jamaica. [00:48:15] Speaker B: When you agree that we. I mean it could be some of the reason. It could be because we mix. Some of our brothers and sisters either have a Haitian or Jamaican. [00:48:24] Speaker A: I think, I think, I think Someone getting a lot of money bringing guns into this country. We don't make guns. [00:48:30] Speaker B: I wish they could deal with that. [00:48:31] Speaker A: But we don't make bullets. [00:48:33] Speaker B: Crime is more money. Crime is paid. Look at these serials. [00:48:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:48:36] Speaker B: And look at these. You know what I wanted to find you. You have any idea if they have any. I don't know if the word is extension C. Plan, Contingency plan. Yeah. If. If. Like condolence and, you know, to the people them. And. And I. And I understand plenty of them ain't recover yet from what happened in Africa with Doreen. And I wish. I don't know if this is speedy recovery. I wish a recovery one day for them. But if we have that same situation in Nassau, I know we had Matthews and others here and we flooded and we get a good thing. I mean, if it come as bad as that, the fish coming on the line and the sea in the land and everything together here now. So what is the plan? I know. I don't know. Be on helicopter. We can beg for help. You. You ever hear them talk about what could happen with all these people here in Nassau? [00:49:17] Speaker A: They've projected what. What would happen. And. And we're gonna be under a lot of water. [00:49:22] Speaker B: You know what I should ask you? What is your plan for you and your family knowing that this is possible? [00:49:27] Speaker A: So. Okay. That's a good question. Number one. Learn how to swim. [00:49:30] Speaker B: Yes. [00:49:31] Speaker A: All my children, my family, we know how to swim. And let me tell you why it's so important. I worked in Abaco after that storm. A lot of people died because they couldn't swim. [00:49:39] Speaker B: Whoa. [00:49:40] Speaker A: Sharks was one thing, but people could not swim. Right. I got another call. [00:49:45] Speaker B: Okay. And owning a boat. Owning a boat will help. [00:49:48] Speaker A: It would help, but the boat is expensive. You know what I'm saying? [00:49:51] Speaker B: Hey, I don't know. [00:49:52] Speaker A: You could get a life wrong. [00:49:53] Speaker B: But when you get a chance, uncle, you know that thing would happen over there in the United States. The United States where there's Trans Gordon killed. [00:49:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:49:59] Speaker B: Yeah. I want to know what you think was in this, man. What. What we could do to maybe stop them kind of things and make. Make sure we could work on that. [00:50:06] Speaker A: I'll comment on it. [00:50:07] Speaker B: Line up and listen. Keep up the good work. Uncle. [00:50:09] Speaker A: Yeah, my brother. Let's run to the next caller here on Guardian Radio today caller, you are live. [00:50:15] Speaker B: Yes, sir. Good day to work. [00:50:16] Speaker A: How you doing, man? [00:50:17] Speaker B: Thanks for calling, man. [00:50:20] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:50:20] Speaker B: You know, your parents was educated before the plb, the bar, right? [00:50:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:50:25] Speaker B: Lyndon Penn was educated before the PLP power many Black people were educated before the PLP went to power. Came the bar. You had black people with money before the PLP came to power, right? [00:50:35] Speaker A: Yep. [00:50:36] Speaker B: So, so why, why do people believe, don't realize that, that, that these things were so before the plp, you know, and, and I don't know if you, you, you, you know, the alleged 10% of the 10% group. And we know the 10% group in what context? I've heard of, well, where this, where this party would go and get 10% of people, of the wealthy people's money. They shake companies down for 10%. [00:51:11] Speaker A: Oh, I did. I didn't know about them. I didn't. [00:51:13] Speaker B: Right. And then, and then where the bridge was sold, the last of the bridge been sold twice. You know that one, right? [00:51:21] Speaker A: I've heard that. I've heard that. [00:51:23] Speaker B: All right. [00:51:23] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:51:24] Speaker B: Lyndon Penland did some good things, right? Yeah, but he did some, he did some bad things too. For, for one, Lyndon Penland, he was supposed to be the lead of the Progressive Liberal Party, right? He was liberal. He did the liberal part, but he didn't do the progressive thing. See, the defense wasn't a progressive thing. You know, you could call that a, what you call it? A conservative thing, you know, progressive ain't arsenalist. [00:51:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:51:55] Speaker B: You know, and see, Finland, Finland, what they did, he refused to do. Which is first thing they asked Finland when he came apart, right, where he would bring what they call it, the capital gain stocks, right. And the income tax. He said no, you know, and how could you call yourself progressive in a. Bringing them taxes, you know, do things like income tax and wealth tax and corporate tax. That should have been the first thing you bring. [00:52:29] Speaker A: Well, we attracted a lot of finance based on people. We were tax haven, you know, in. [00:52:38] Speaker B: Other words, we were the Zacchaeus of the oligarchs of the west. [00:52:45] Speaker A: When we had Mr. Fred, Fred Jr. On the show, I think it was last week, right. He talked about the fact that our tourist economy, right, Comes out of that era of bootlegging and other nefarious activity whereby people understood they could come here and not have to worry about, you know, meeting the law. [00:53:10] Speaker B: Right. They made us of the law. [00:53:12] Speaker A: Yeah. They came here to party. They knew this where they could come to party. But interestingly enough, they didn't really call us corrupt till we had majority rule. That's the part. [00:53:21] Speaker B: But the sad thing is we have majority rule and they ain't did nothing about it. If you put a check on these. [00:53:28] Speaker A: Things, See, let me, let me, let me, let me say this, right. I think we, as the electorate, we have to appreciate the pressures. And I've never been in Parliament, I've never been in the Senate, I've never been in politics, right? But I have been close enough to know that there were people who went in there with very good intentions and their hands got tied. I know this for a fact, right? So, so, so when we, when we begin to critique our leaders, right, and we begin to, you know, in this instance, we're talking about, you know, a leader who had been passed now from the early 90s, right? I would encourage everyone to read the book that was written about him because a lot of things in that book I started reading and I'm in the middle of reading it, right? Because when it comes to dealing with the global system of racism, white supremacy, one of the things that often happens is that we as leaders get blamed for a system that was already corrupt before we ever got into it. [00:54:43] Speaker B: We became a part of it. [00:54:45] Speaker A: What other option you got? What other option you got, man? [00:54:50] Speaker B: We, we, we gotta be. We gotta stand for something. You know, our leaders became. Our leaders became the bootleggers, the Uncle Tom. [00:54:59] Speaker A: But, but let me ask you this. If you become a leader and you want carry this nation in another direction, right, if you want to put a Castro, right, and you see what they, what they did to Cuba when they put the embargo on us because we going in a different direction, how many people, how many, how many people. How many people in the, how many people in the electric can stand behind you? They can run you. They can run you. They say what? Yeah, but the majority of people. The majority of people don't have that mentality. So you could be the best leader in the world, but if ain't no one following you, you ain't no leader. [00:55:33] Speaker B: See? And you know what? Things, things are changing now, you understand what I'm saying? Because of the bricks and you understand me and the position of the dollar. Come on, man. We know what the US with the dollar's about. The petrol dollar. You understand me? Before I was backed by gold and they went back by arms. You know what I'm saying? So we see these things and know these things, but we lie to our children. You know what I'm saying? Let's say we Uncle Tom's don't say we. Something that we not don't say that we doing well when we only bow into you understand what I'm saying? [00:56:09] Speaker A: Yeah, but, or, or, or, or, or we watch the spook that sat behind the door. You Ever watch that? Let me run to the next caller. [00:56:20] Speaker B: One more thing. The thing, what we need, you know what we need most? We need, we need a union with, with our region, with the Caribbean. [00:56:27] Speaker A: I, I, I like that idea. [00:56:29] Speaker B: What you call it? A single market union. [00:56:31] Speaker A: I, I like that. [00:56:32] Speaker B: A customs union. [00:56:34] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:56:34] Speaker B: We need all, we need those. When we get that union, then we'd be better off. And you know, we, other than that, we are true Uncle Tom to this region. Thank you. [00:56:45] Speaker A: Thank you for calling mine. Let's run to the text lines and then we'll go back to the, to the phone lines. Let's see. All right. I'm complaining about papa calling. Just calling. That's just all. Just calling. All right, bro, look at the number of people who are now going natural, growing lock, etc. I know that the judge may be looking at it from a security perspective that is hiding drugs or shanks in there here. Having that. Having said that, however, if the prisoner is a practicing roster and his locks is a part of his religion, he should be allowed to wear them even in prison. I agree. After all, people are sent to prison as punishment for their crimes, not to be punished for his crime crimes. I agree. I mean, you, you, you, you won't break the mind spirit. And then you want to send them back over there to do what in the community. Let's run back to the phone lines here on Guardian Radio today. Call you live. Hey, uncle. Hey. Hey. Excellent show, man. [00:57:42] Speaker B: I appreciate everybody's input. You know, I learned a lot from the University of Guardian radio. [00:57:47] Speaker A: Yeah, man, me too. [00:57:48] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think when it comes to the prison and the dreadlocks, someone needs that the president say exactly what the rule is so that before I commit. [00:57:59] Speaker A: The crime, I would know I can have my dreadlock. The constitution already protecting your locks. [00:58:04] Speaker B: Oh, the constitution protects your law. [00:58:06] Speaker A: If you, if you, if your locks is a part of your religion, you have a religious right. That's a part of your religious rights. Now, I'm not a lawyer. There may be a lawyer who'll fight me down and say no X, Y and Z. But that's my understanding, right? I, I know, I know. I was very close friends with Priest Blyden, may he rest in peace. Priest Zebby, may he rest in peace. I opened up when Mutabaruka came here. I had the privilege of opening up for him. And we had these conversations about when they would come here in their early or formative years, right? And the police grabbed them and cut their locks off, et cetera. Right Now I know it happened to Mutabaruka, but they didn't cut his locks off. Right. We know that that was about attacking the Rastafarians. There's something wrong with that. And if you are a country who respect people, religions, you can't do that. You cannot call yourself. You want people to respect the law, you want people to respect the country. But then you can grab people off the street, cut off their locks, and then send them back into society to do what? Well, you know, they grabbing people off. [00:59:23] Speaker B: The streets in America for less reasons. [00:59:26] Speaker A: Well, we know America is another story. [00:59:28] Speaker B: Yeah, but I, I won't touch on that, but I want to touch about Harachi and the Shah of Iran. Now, you think he came here, invested all this money in the Bahamas, you think he didn't pay to play here? [00:59:41] Speaker A: Somebody see, and that's. Let me, Let me tell you, I think about these things all the time. [00:59:47] Speaker B: Right. [00:59:48] Speaker A: If you become a leader in a little country like this. Right. I just, this just me guesstimating. I don't know. I never been in no position to even know what goes on. [00:59:58] Speaker B: Right. [00:59:59] Speaker A: But I could imagine these fellows who are very powerful coming to your doorstep and they're giving you ultimatums. We come in whether you like it or not. So you could take this little bit of money and look the other way, or we could make your life difficult and still do what we want to do. I'm not saying that's what happened, but I could imagine that could happen. [01:00:19] Speaker B: Well, it's good to have perspective, you know. [01:00:21] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:00:21] Speaker B: But now I want to ask you one more question. [01:00:23] Speaker A: Yeah. We know that the US President health. [01:00:26] Speaker B: Appears to be deteriorating and at the same time he's trying to avoid impeachment, which will be some trials. [01:00:32] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:00:33] Speaker B: But if they ever come to the point where they have to try him in court, would they try him again? Adult or juvenile? [01:00:39] Speaker A: In a drive with God. [01:00:41] Speaker B: Have a good day. [01:00:43] Speaker A: Have a good day, my brother. That's a good one. Let's run back to the, to the text line. Let's see. Did you say Maruka spend time in Fox Hill? He was, yeah. [01:00:59] Speaker B: They. [01:00:59] Speaker A: They grabbed him. They grabbed him. He was in. I don't know how long he stayed, but he was in there. Yep. That often. [01:01:07] Speaker B: Let's see. [01:01:10] Speaker A: All right. We were talking earlier about intent. This text says. This text that says. I don't think intent really matters here. Let letters. I hope I'm not pronouncing it wrong, but letters intent is to sell his new book. Yeah, that's what we said. Earlier, the fact that he is selling a book does not say he's not telling the truth. What we do know about a doubt is that LA was operating a drug operation in the Bahamas for years. We also know mp, another MP self admittedly flew to Normans Cay to meet with letter. We saw MPs floating around Nygaard and around today's money men or boys, quote unquote. We know how this proximity works. Yeah. When you get enough space, they come in. You as a politician don't have to look for the money men. They come in looking for you because you have the power. You have the reins to power. So you could be the nicest, most innocent politician in the world. They come in looking for you. Now it's up to you to tell them no. But they come in looking. All right. Yeah. They could only cut us here. He was convicted. Yeah. He didn't get his hair cut. He didn't get his hair cut. Dexter. All right, coming to the. Coming to you right now, caller. Listen here, man. You gone to jail. Cut your hair off like everybody else. If you were such a religious person then you shouldn't have been sent to jail. Come on, man. Dexter, you trying to tell me that because a person of religion, they can't make a mistake? You think you, you, you believe because you have a religion now you, you, you just automatically angle make a mistake? Oh man. Dexter. Let's run back to the phone lines here on Guardian Radio today. Dexter, caller, you live. [01:02:55] Speaker B: Uncle, Good afternoon. [01:02:56] Speaker A: Good afternoon, Uncle. [01:02:58] Speaker B: I would like to also join one of the previous caller and thank Guardian Radio, which he referred to as the university of Guardian Radio. [01:03:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:03:07] Speaker B: You know, for the opportunity to allow the Bahamian people, the average Bahamian person who's truly interested and having their voice heard. The show is called a talk show, not a text show. [01:03:19] Speaker A: Come on now. Exactly. [01:03:20] Speaker B: Okay. And I don't know why people are so afraid to let their voices be heard. [01:03:24] Speaker A: Yes. [01:03:25] Speaker B: Regardless to whether they support the current administration or not. [01:03:28] Speaker A: Amen. [01:03:29] Speaker B: Basically what it is, is it shows that the Bahamian people are logically, well, sound, sounded and rounded people. We know what's going on in the country from a national and an international realm. And it only. The good thing about this is this, this, this airwave is not only here in the Bahamas, but it's all around the world. So it's a representation that the Bahamian people are not asleep at the wheel. [01:03:55] Speaker A: Amen. [01:03:56] Speaker B: You know, history has already been. Has already been recorded. And no matter how much a person may despise what is Being said or whatever. The fact is the fact. The truth is the truth, whether they want to accept that truth or not. Right. It's. It is already historical. It's already documented. So we cannot run away from anything. And, you know, quite frankly, on many occasions on airwaves have spoken of my admiration for the father of the nation, who we call the father of the nation for the many great things he and his administration, which included many other great people. Your father was one of them, although not in parliament, but he served from a. From a civic standpoint. [01:04:40] Speaker A: Yeah, my grandfather was a senator. Yep. [01:04:43] Speaker B: Exactly. Well, I'm talking about specifically in Parliament. [01:04:46] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. He wasn't in parliament. Yeah. [01:04:47] Speaker B: Right. You know, people like AD Hanno. [01:04:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:04:50] Speaker B: Milo Butler. [01:04:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:04:51] Speaker B: We could call Carlton. Carlton Francis. We could call these names, people from way back then. We are thankful for the work that they have done that made the Bahamas a great little nation upon the planet. The sad part that really causes my heart to bleed, though, is that the ideals that the party truly stood for way back then, the wiping the tear from every Bahamian eye to make sure that peace and prosperity the hands of the Bahamian people. And although the people went out there and worked, it was incumbent upon the government to ensure that the Bahamian people do eat and work with ease, if I could use that term. And it's so sad that that is not the case here today. And, you know, to give the people in closing the voice that we have given us the opportunity for our voices to be heard, for the world to understand that we are not a sleepy country. We understand what's going on. Many are afraid to speak. But there are some among us who. Who represent many of us that come out on these airwaves and speak. We must continue to speak. [01:06:02] Speaker A: Yes. [01:06:03] Speaker B: And that's all I wanted to say in contribution today. [01:06:06] Speaker A: Thank you. [01:06:06] Speaker B: I just looking forward to our Bahamas being a little more progressive, where financial prosperity in particular is placed in the hands of Bahamians and allow us to live comfortably in our country. Because we are not living comfortably in this country. And we are watching others. And the 1% who have apparently have everything in this country who can live comfortably allows an opportunity also to live comfortably in this country. Thanks for teaching, Michael. [01:06:35] Speaker A: Yes, indeed. There's a book called Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins. All right. I think it's a book that every Bahamian should read. I know. I think at one point Mr. Perkins even came here out to the Bahamas. But it's not as simple as I go into government or I Go into the. Into the halls of Parliament, and I'm just going to change everything. It doesn't work that way. But world forces, global forces, regional forces that you buck against when you get in the House of Parliament. Now, it's up to these politicians to speak their truth. But I know in this book, Confessions of Economic Hitman, they tell you what this do. They tell you what they do. All right, Spocky, you can shout you out, man. Sparky. Spock. He said, why I don't let him go. Guardian Spark ain't calling me. Call your name. All right. One love, my brother. Good day. This texture says so the gentleman doesn't know that not everyone is in a position to call the talk show like he does religiously every day. By the way, I'm not that text. All right, maybe. Maybe everybody can't call him. But don't complain with people who call him. Run back to the phone lines here on Guardian Radio today. Calling you live. [01:07:48] Speaker B: Yeah, Uncle, I had to call back. And I want you to clear this up. This is a spiritual context. I'm not into the human journey, but other man think it. [01:07:55] Speaker A: So is he right in his heart? [01:07:57] Speaker B: And we're willing to say if a man, he is right. Right or wrong. So if the man says he's a Rasterman, he's a Rasterman. About me, incorrectly, the judge said that he had to prove that he's a part of some group or some type form of conformity to say he's a Raster. [01:08:12] Speaker A: But the rosters came to his defense. So. So that should have been. That should have been that. That should have been it right there. [01:08:17] Speaker B: But what I mean is, I. I just want to make it quick and I want you to comment because what I'm saying is I. I was taken aback by that because I was like, what is this? What she means? The man says he's a raster man. He's a raster man. So we are not all perfect spiritually. So I may wear locks, but that doesn't mean I don't sin or I'm not doing something that I know that's spiritually incorrect. Right? Right. So I just thought that was something that should have never been said. Because, you know, if the man says a roster, that means he's a roster. And so the people who just are so willingly willing to cut it, they don't understand the spiritual significance of it to the person that's wearing it. Right. It's a form of showing society that you're different from them. Right. [01:08:52] Speaker A: And you're not a covenant. [01:08:54] Speaker B: And as it relates to what Jeff is saying, I want everybody to know please listen to the non conformist. Okay? That's what life is all about. Not conformity. Give thanks. [01:09:01] Speaker A: Yeah man. See I would use that advantage if I'm running the correctional center. I'm going to say, oh, use a roster. Okay? The wood rosters do call the priest what you always do, right? Y smoking here. I know you can't let your smoke but what else you always do. And I can make him live up to it, right? He'll be a better person for it. We're going to run to the break and be right back. Here on Guardian Radio today, we got an open line today.

Today we're going to run straight to the text lines and then we're going to hit the phone lines. All right. We were talking about the economic hitman by Mr. Perkins and this text says many a third world leader has killed. It's true. And that's what I'm saying. [01:13:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:13:46] Speaker A: They have forces that in, you know, these telephone calls and these texts just letting y' all know. All right, sorry. This next text coming you right this next tax to say he was talking about his man who say he's a roster as lock. So the text is say. So if a man says he's a woman, does that make him a woman? Everything must be objectively confirmed because he say he's a roster. You saying if someone say, they say if there's a man and they say there's a woman, you think we can believe them? No, because I'm the female person, right? No, man, but. But thank you for texting, man. You all ain't easy. Now next taxi say, uncle, why did some PLPs leave the PLP and create what did Linden Penland say and do at that time for these individuals to leave the party you know, we can do a show on that. That's a great question. All right, let's run back to the phone lines here on Guardian Radio today. Quality of your life. [01:14:44] Speaker B: Hey, good day. [01:14:45] Speaker A: How you doing, man? [01:14:46] Speaker B: I can't pronounce. I was trying to call you because I, you know, good topic conversation. You're talking at the same time. But what is so ironic is I sit and I was sitting. But I wanna. I wanna ask you something. And those who are listening, do you remember the gentleman, the roster guy by the name of Michael Barry? [01:15:03] Speaker A: I know the name. I didn't know it. [01:15:04] Speaker B: Okay. You remember when Michael Barry was sent to prison and they was trying to. Right. And I think the Supreme Court or his lawyer did something, do something, whereas he was allowed to have his harvest here. [01:15:18] Speaker A: Right. [01:15:19] Speaker B: And listen, I don't. I hang around a lot of. Rafi. [01:15:22] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:15:23] Speaker B: Israel is one of my hangouts. [01:15:25] Speaker A: Okay. [01:15:25] Speaker B: I should say it like that. [01:15:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:15:26] Speaker B: But this country, a humble people bred. [01:15:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:15:31] Speaker B: I agree. Humble people see bad news. Yeah. Back in the day, you had the roster. Them going shooting up at these station that rosters in this country. [01:15:37] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:15:38] Speaker B: Because they see a roster. They still. But you got the humble brothers and. And you know, the. The daughters, you call them Empress. They come with them. [01:15:45] Speaker A: I agree. [01:15:46] Speaker B: You know, I had to be honest. But I can say this proudly to my Rocky Strong. I sometimes, my brother, I prefer to be around them. Anyway, you have a nice day, bro. [01:15:56] Speaker A: Thank you, man. Listen, listen. Rastafari was one of the means. Why I learned to love Africa and love my black self. I always. So I agree with you 100%. Do it. All right, let's go to the next caller. And we got some more attacks coming through. Call of your life. [01:16:13] Speaker B: Good show today, Uncle. [01:16:15] Speaker A: Amen. Thanks for listening. [01:16:17] Speaker B: Yeah. I have one comment regarding that story by About. About Jolita. [01:16:23] Speaker A: Sure. [01:16:25] Speaker B: And it comes from the word of God. [01:16:28] Speaker A: Oh, go ahead. [01:16:28] Speaker B: March Luke 12. Here it is. For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, neither hid that shall not be known. [01:16:45] Speaker A: Amen. [01:16:45] Speaker B: The conclusion of that matter. [01:16:47] Speaker A: Amen. [01:16:47] Speaker B: Maybe this is the time God chose to reveal it. He didn't say when. [01:16:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:16:51] Speaker B: But he say, it shall be revealed. [01:16:53] Speaker A: That's right. [01:16:54] Speaker B: And the other thought says that what is done in the dark will come to light. He didn't say when it will come to light, but it will come to light. [01:17:05] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:17:05] Speaker B: And so this could be the time. [01:17:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:17:07] Speaker B: Have a wonderful. [01:17:08] Speaker A: Thank you. Thank you very much for. For calling. And you know, I am always careful about how I critique our leaders Because I understand racism, white supremacy. I'm not saying that people are not responsible, shouldn't be held accountable. I just think you have to contextualize everything. Run back to the phone lines and we got some more texts. Callie alive here on Guardian Radio today. How you doing? [01:17:38] Speaker B: Listen to me, you don't hear roster. [01:17:40] Speaker A: That's true. [01:17:42] Speaker B: At one time I believe I was the biggest Rastafarian in the world. [01:17:48] Speaker A: Bigger than Bob. [01:17:49] Speaker B: It was in my eye. [01:17:50] Speaker A: True that. [01:17:51] Speaker B: Right? So a lot of. Not a lot of these people are baddies. Back in the day, like dude do it said a lot of them used to roots up to try to intimidate people. You know, one time ago, everybody scared of the roster. Yeah. You get dreadlock. He was a madman. Yeah, but you don't have dread to be a raster, man. [01:18:13] Speaker A: I agree. [01:18:15] Speaker B: You could bear on your heart, you know. [01:18:17] Speaker A: Yeah, I agree. Thank you, man. [01:18:20] Speaker B: Yeah, man. [01:18:21] Speaker A: You don't have to dread to be roster. I agree. But if you want your dreads as a roster, then leave them out. The dreads. That's all I want. Blessings, Uncle. I love how Papa spoke of how the Tribune run that story about Gangsta Joe leader during pending PLP era. So now, Uncle, I would love to see the Tribune and many other media outlets run some stories of gangster Meyer Lenski being run out of Cuba, coming to the Bahamas, operating in Grand Bahama during Bay street boy, blah, blah. Yeah. You know, this, this. I think that's what some people afraid of, that this could open up a can of worms. Because these things are not happening in a vacuum. These things are. And some people, you know, thought they put those things to bed and now they look like, you know, gone to bed. So I, I think that's why some people are definitely concerned that these stories are coming out. Now let's run back to the phone lines here on Guardian Radio today. 323-623-2325-431632-54259. Go ahead, call her your life. [01:19:26] Speaker B: Good afternoon, uncle. How you doing? [01:19:28] Speaker A: Hey, my buddy. [01:19:32] Speaker B: It's pretty funny. I was listening to your conversation from the street start, right? [01:19:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:19:36] Speaker B: And then I learned, I learned that my brethren, the former host of the show, launched his program. Right. [01:19:42] Speaker A: Yeah. I was going to do. That's my boy too, you know. That's my boy too. Yeah. [01:19:52] Speaker B: So I'm, I'm, I'm still listening to him, but I, I needed to call in. [01:19:55] Speaker A: Yeah, man. [01:19:56] Speaker B: To register one or two thoughts with you. [01:19:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:19:58] Speaker B: On this topic. And you know, you, you were Saying you made a statement to one of your callers. I don't think they understood at all. I don't even know if they were listening what you said when you said to them. They didn't call us corrupt all the while we were under the other people. [01:20:13] Speaker A: That's right. [01:20:13] Speaker B: Only after independence they call us corrupt. After majority rules have to be got. Majority rules corrupt. Right. And uncle, that is a. See that conversation is as deep as it is wide. Right. And I believe that you would be a very good person to host such a conversation on the platform during the two hours because it certainly can't happen in five minutes. Right? No, no, but, but uncle, it is serious. It is a serious indictment upon those who are, as Bishop hall would say, mental, mental midgets. [01:20:51] Speaker A: Right. [01:20:52] Speaker B: That they would be blind to the corruption and, and, and, and all of the, the racism and, and the, and the slavery and the taking advantage of and, and even the prohibition era. Right? [01:21:07] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [01:21:08] Speaker B: And they would focus only on one specific era. [01:21:12] Speaker A: You can't do that. [01:21:13] Speaker B: Even an era where they could not bring to guilt the very person who they love to talk about. Right, right. Being our former Prime Minister, father of our nation, still an independent. Uncle, it's, it's a crying out shame before I even go to. People love to talk about Uncle Tom. This and Uncle Tom darling. But they still live in this country, Uncle. [01:21:36] Speaker A: Right. [01:21:37] Speaker B: They still trying to make a living amongst people. If they call it Uncle Tom. So what does that make them? Uncle. [01:21:45] Speaker A: Yes. Cousin Tom. [01:21:49] Speaker B: They must be the captain. [01:21:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:21:54] Speaker B: It is ridiculous. But to get back to this thing with the line then you know, and this, this has to be a slight in law. This has to be a slight in law, uncle, that you cannot sustain defamation against someone's character upon death. Only in life. Only in life. That has to be a slight law that does a disservice if people justice because justice should be able to be served even from the grave. What is the Uncle. [01:22:30] Speaker A: I, I, I'm listening. I and I, I see. I'm very careful about. I, I have family. [01:22:35] Speaker B: Let me, let me, yeah, go ahead. Let me just talk to my. Go ahead. [01:22:38] Speaker A: I'll get one more call in. Yeah. [01:22:40] Speaker B: Someone shouldn't be able to, to talk. [01:22:42] Speaker A: About you after you've gone after you can't defend yourself. I hear what you're saying. [01:22:45] Speaker B: Yes. Someone should not be able to get up in any court even if a person is passed away without providing evidence to substantiate what they say, what they are claiming. Just because you are not there to defend against what is being said. And the law is blind to it. And the laws. Something has to be drastically wrong with that. Something has to be wrong with that arm. Cool. [01:23:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:23:11] Speaker B: And then, and then, and then. That doesn't even appear. Looking at what the motive is. What is the motive for doing this thing? [01:23:20] Speaker A: He's selling books. They selling books. He's selling books. He got a buck. He's selling. [01:23:25] Speaker B: Oh boy. [01:23:26] Speaker A: See uncle, that's what it is. [01:23:28] Speaker B: And then, and then, and then, Uncle. The news, newspapers are there to inform us. Right. The media is there to inform us. Right. But the media also has a role to be irresponsible in its reporting. And therefore the media should not be permitted or allowed to get away with dirtying someone's character, impuning someone's name and reputation where they cannot themselves provide proof that it is true what is being claimed. You understand what I'm saying? [01:23:59] Speaker A: I hear you. [01:24:00] Speaker B: I hear that. It's like you are double dipping dirty. Well, yeah. It makes no sense. [01:24:05] Speaker A: I got another call. [01:24:06] Speaker B: Society are we building if we allow that kind of stuff to stand. [01:24:10] Speaker A: I'll go I with you, brother. [01:24:12] Speaker B: Anyway, I know your time is number two. [01:24:13] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [01:24:14] Speaker B: Respect God's blessings, uncle. [01:24:16] Speaker A: Yes, my brother. That's always going to be, you know, the, the concern. Right. Let's run to the next call and then we got another text though before we. I agreed, man. I mean he got about a minute left. [01:24:27] Speaker B: Yeah. I. I consider myself a kind of theorist theory. [01:24:30] Speaker A: Go ahead. [01:24:32] Speaker B: And every time we have some type of major shift via political election, some major scandal that always blows people mind. But don't you think it's by design, the systemic divisiveness that's happening and it comes from the fair that you know, we've been programmed. [01:24:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:24:51] Speaker B: And as black people, especially a nation with predominantly this 95, 85% black melanated people, they use these things like monotheistic religion and 12 party system to play us against each other. But these are the same things that are causing us to stay in this perpetual state of fear. [01:25:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:25:12] Speaker B: And if we were to strip ourselves away from these institutions, then we realized that we are way more in common than we have things that. [01:25:18] Speaker A: Amen. Amen. We could get some real work done. [01:25:22] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. I mean I just want you as a preacher, you know, as a pastor to focus on these things that we can. We have way more stuff to talk about. Yes, I call it. [01:25:33] Speaker A: Yes. [01:25:33] Speaker B: But you're doing a great job with you. I wish you had more time to talk. [01:25:36] Speaker A: I know, I know. Thank you, my brother. I think we got one more caller. Let's get that call and then we're going to get out of here. Caller. Nope, that's it. Hair discrimination in this country extends beyond Rastafari. Shake my head. I'm not a raster, but I wear locks too often. They come with stereotypes and unfair treatment. Here is part of who we are, not something the state should strip away. Respect for rights must cover every citizen and resident. No exceptions. Amen and amen. And I got one last text. Don't kill my. Don't kill my Dexter. Text. Someone know when the JCNP can lift the bond on these Junkanoo groups being able to do their thing? Let me read it properly. When the John Canoe suspension by the JCNP can be over. That's what this text is saying. Sorry we couldn't talk about more, but I've had a great time. I've learned a lot. It's given me some ideas for some other shows and I'll be back tomorrow with another great show for you on Guardian Radio today. My name is Pastor Dr. Cleveland W Eni III, also known as Kahu Ankusara. Stay tuned to 96.9 FM Fresh News. Smart talk all day. Namaste.
