  • Low IQ Race Hustling

    The host had the intelligent and articulate economist Catherine Austin Fitts as a guest. Fitts was warning of a coming financial upheaval and the need for unity in the turmoil. During the interview, the host repeatedly tried to steer the conversation to race, slavery and “orange man bad” anti-Trump clichés. The host at one point claimed she feared being “snatched up on the street” (based on race?). She may have expected Fitts to apologize or bow before her perceived victimhood status. Fitts refu... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Aja Raden Busts the Myth of Diamonds!
Q: Why do diamonds hold such cultural value despite being not the rarest or most valuable stone?
Aja explains it's a result of a long, deliberate advertising and market manipulation by industry players like De Beers, starting in colonial times, that shaped culture and consumer demand rather than intrinsic stone value.
Christians Against Christianity?
Q: How does the discussion reinterpret Sodom and Gomorrah and the curse of Ham?
It challenges common misreadings that link homosexuality to these stories, presenting historical-context translations that show those passages do not categorically condemn homosexuality as historically understood.
Christians Against Christianity?
Q: What is the biggest lie white evangelicals are telling according to Dr. Hendricks?
That the Bible commands social structures that preserve the status quo and that love and justice can be separated from faith; he argues the gospel calls for change toward justice, not maintaining privilege.
Dr. Rosemari Mealy’s Lessons From Her Black Panther Days
Q: What shaped your commitment to the Black liberation struggle and to organizing at the community level?
A combination of early exposure to racism, family influence, and direct involvement in civil rights work, which taught the importance of community, collective action, and education as tools for change.
The Farmasis, Bonita Clemons - Helping Women Connect to the Land
Q: How did you become known as 'The Pharmacist' and how did your path start?
Bonita describes a transformative journey from medical hardship to holistic healing, inspired by a mentor and a family history in farming, which led to founding a Black women-led farming collective and adopting the Pharmacist persona.
