Greetings, greetings. Vongtana, the truth, the power, and your hopes. Tires to midnight. And tonight, I want to talk about being thankful.
Now as the upcoming holiday, Thanksgiving is coming up. And we all know that 2020 has been one hellacious year. Starting out with COVID. I think we lost a few people like Kobe Bryant, a couple of other celebrities in a week of everything.
But 2020 has been one hellacious year. But do it all. And not to say, thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is when the Indians supposedly broke red with the pilgrims and then the slaughtering them after they got drunk and the incident nature.
And they gave them all types of diseases, through blankets and things of the nature. But anyway, thanksgiving. It feels like I bought everything with the Europeans. But, and I don't celebrate Thanksgiving, by the way, however, the spirit being thankful never, ever escapes me.
Now, truth, the power is my political home to my pie of caddies. I have two pie of caddies at the game, which is my social and relationship to all my social financial and relationship on. And then truth, the power is my political home. And throughout this show, throughout the building of this program, this pie of caddies, there have been some ups and downs, if you may call it, within my own personal life.
When I first started this pie of caddies, I had this idea. There were only a few set of people that really supported me and really said that I should do it. Because you always have your daughters and your haters and things of that nature. But every week, and this is an international pie of caddies.
And I'm proud to say that. I'm proud to say that this is an international pie of caddies. I get played up in Mexico, Europe, Canada, Africa. I get played all over the place, man, Sweden.
And I'm proud to say that. People are listening to me internationally. But I'm proud to say that. And I'm thankful for that.
But throughout this year, I've discovered some things about myself, about the people of my life. OK. Again, because we're going to have a house playing in part two, December 31st. I think I may be able to make that one.
I think I may be able to make that one. If not, we'll just do it earlier in the week, if I'm not busy, or right around working, doing a dozen other things, as you guys know that I do. But I discovered some things about myself. And one of the things I discovered about myself, and I'm thankful for 2020, because the thing is this.
Any time there's tragedy, there's always opportunity. And I learned this from a book about rather bringing 50 Centes called the 50th Law. No situation is bad. Ever is how you interpret it and how you respond to that situation that makes it positive or negative.
And I've learned that when negativity hits, I respond drastically. Like I respond like it's nobody's business. Like when it's the same, I'm ready. I am ready.
I think they called it a resiliency. But I showed a whole bunch of that this year. Now this year, I didn't get COVID. I'm thankful for that, too.
For all the people that's listening, they did get COVID. You recovered, hopefully you're thankful for surviving that. Hopefully you're thankful for the support that you received during that time. But what I've discovered about people and people in my life particularly is that, and you know, this is going to be the truth.
And it's going to sound harsh to some. But what I've discovered is I don't really need people like that. Some of the people in my life, I really don't need. They serve no purpose.
They just take out space in my life. They serve no true purpose. And at this point in my life, and I said this before, I would rather have more friends than enemies. If I could help it, however, if I can't, then bring on enemies.
I never saw it from confronting people or being a competition. As a matter of fact, I love it. I love a competition. I really do.
I love a competition. I love getting things out of the open. I love confronting things at all. I just love a competition.
When it's physical, mental, spiritual, however you want to do, I just love a competition. Now, I'm thankful. I'm very thankful for this year. And I'm thankful.
And I'm also thankful because this isn't just about me. I don't want me to talk about me. Truth of power is never about me. It's about the people.
It's about you guys who are listening. Now, listen, it's always been about you. But I want to share my life experience with you guys just to let you know that if you're going through the same thing, then you're not alone. And I know that sometimes people can feel so alone in this world.
But you're not alone. You got somebody and switch you. Whether I'll be it, not physically with you. But mentally and spiritually, I'm with you.
And but also what I've discovered is I've given because all the last year, all the last year, let me let you guys in all the last year. All the last year, I killed my phone on a do-netist third all day 24-7. If I call you back, then I call you back. I'll kill you, but I'll do-netist third 24-7.
Nobody could really reach me unless it was my son or my mother, I think. And I'm thinking on that. But nobody could reach me last year. But this year, I'll open up access to people.
I'll be more accessible. I made myself more accessible. If you call me, no matter what time it is, or you text me, no matter what time it is, I'll be open to people to phone. You know why?
Because, like I said, it's been a hellacious year. And you never know if you're an outlier for somebody. If you're the person that they'll go to, they'll talk to you. Even if I'm their last resort.
Even if I'm their last resort, you just, like you just never know. They said, there's two aside, we're up 200% this year. 200%. That's a lot of people that didn't want to be here anymore.
That's unfortunate. And I'm seeing people on Instagram saying, oh man, like they best recommend suicide. And I was like, oh man, why did you call me? You know, people say mental health, depression, all of these things.
All these things are getting to people because 2020 has been hellacious. And not a lot of people can deal with some things. Not a lot of people are able to deal with adversity, to be resilient. And if you're getting somebody to talk to, who should be?
I'm thankful for that. You really should be. You should be thankful. If you got somebody that's better pick up your call than any time of the day, don't take that for granted.
Somebody you can lean on in hard times, do not take that for granted. Because sometimes when something is so accessible, sometimes as humans we do take that for granted. We're like, oh, I can call them any time they pick up. I can go to any time, they'll do this.
It's not always going to be like that. So be thankful and show your thanks to people. And as far as mental health goals, we're my mental health background always suggest that people get a counselor, people get a therapist, and just talk about your problems because we all need some healing. This world can never get enough of healing.
We all can do some healing. We all can go through all those processes and to get better and show me beans. Now, another thing I'm thankful for is in 2020, is that I've been enlightened about how many people around me are prayer and serious about black empowerment and how many just want to pat on the head from white supremacists. I have been enlightened about you guys, like I'm a motherfucker.
Yes, I've been enlightened about you like I'm a motherfucker. You guys have displayed on social media, platforms that you are willing to be off-code just to say, oh, look at me. I got this person that I was going to tell you something. And I can tell people this, and black people this in particular.
Let's not act like all the rest of these presidents from one to 45, what's in fucked up. Every last one of them was fucked up. Every last one of them had some shit with them. Every last one of them did nothing for black people.
Specifically, they did everything for every other race of people, it's for black people. And I keep being a drum on this. And it's getting to a point where I kind of don't want to reach the people that don't want to be reached anymore. I was always, I was always, oh, they're struggling with this because my brother Mac Pape was, shout out to Mac Pape's, my brother Mac Pape always told me to say, man, you're a teacher, you spoke to teacher people.
You know, they don't know as far as people to knowledge on. Some people just don't know. But it's come to, I'll come to the conclusion. There's some people that people know.
People know that, know where we're going through. People know that whatever required, the sacrifice that it would require to have black empowerment, and they just don't want it. They just don't want it. So what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna continue to beat the drum. I'm gonna continue to beat the drum for black empowerment, for black people, and speak for my people. I am because I love my people that much. I'm not trying to get interracial sexual access.
I'm not trying to get a pat on the head for my supremacist. As long as I got my people, that's enough. And there will always be enough. There will always be enough to be the feedback supremacy.
Once we need the feedback supremacy, then I'll just go ahead and shut this whole program down. Until then, I'm gonna keep on beating the drum. I'm gonna keep on giving you the world cry every week, every single week. As long as I got breath to my body, I will be giving you guys the world cry.
And I'm thankful for all you guys. I'm thankful for the listeners. Everybody listen to my program. Everybody is supporting me.
I'm very, very thankful for you. Thank you. Thank you. Now, I just released the World is Only, Brian Amazon.

You guys have a good night.
