digital marketing and PR before getting into image consulting. And one thing I've noticed with image consulting. Image consulting, I have had many a client, many a female client come to me and say, oh my God, my husband, boyfriend, significant other, his style is horrible. He dresses like a caveman. It's just horrible. And I need you to help me get the man back that I married. I need you to help me get the man back that I married. And I'm like, okay, well, cool, we can do that. We can do that. Helping you get the man back that you married is one thing. I've had plenty of girlfriends.  He's a great guy, but his sense of style is just terrible and it's starting to turn me off. So is there anything you can do to help bring the spark back into our relationship? I'm cool. And they came with cash in hand ready to do this. I've had men come to say the same thing. Hey man, my girlfriend, my wife, my significant other, just doesn't look at me the same way, you know, as she used to when she comes home from these corporate events or whatever. She has all these stories about all these funny, witty, charming men just like yourself. And I just don't feel like I can keep up and compete. You know, I'm a blue collar guy. You know, I make good money. You know, all my business I can provide, but for some reason I just can't do that. So let's talk about it. Yeah. And I like using the straw. So get over it. Before we get into it. I want to do a shout out to say what's going on. I want to bring something to your attention. I want to bring something to your attention. In the 70s from 1970 1975. There was this little show. This little inconsequential insignificant show. That, uh, changed the way a lot of people looked at blue collar men, white collar men, and it did a lot to change the landscape of a lot of things. Just from a TV show called the Jefferson's and it chronicled black man by the name of George Jefferson. He and his wife. Uh, wheezy and his son Linel moved to the Upper East side of New York City. And for those of you don't know, I'm a former New York City resident, former Manhattan resident to live on the Upper East side of New York. You have to have some serious money. Like I did. I moved from the Upper East side down to the lower, the upper West side, right about of Hell's Kitchen in Hell's Kitchen. The Upper East side is where all the blue bloods and the old, old, old money stays. I mean, to move to the Upper East side, if you have an Upper East side address, especially back then, you had made it. Black men that were on that side of town were doormen. There were cab drivers. They didn't live there. Okay. Wheezy, Louise. Okay. And for George Jefferson to have moved his family from the borough of Queens to the Upper East side, was an accomplishment. An accomplishment bar none. How many people in the chat room ever watched an episode of the Jeffersons? If you watched the episode of the Jeffersons, put a one in the chat room. Come on. This is going to be interactive. This is going to be fun. This is going to be fun. How many of you watched the episode of the Jeffersons? Because actually the Jeffersons was a spin-off from a show called All in the Family. And All in the Family dealt a lot with the racist, white, a prejudice white guy named Archie Bunker. And he was... It was a pivotal show. All right. So I'm seeing so many people who said they watched the Jeffersons. The Jeffersons. That was the first time you could see... This is pre-Cosby. This is back when all the black exploitation films were going on. And you really didn't see black men doing much of nothing except being pimps, hustlers, drug dealers. You know, we really... We really weren't much of anything by this time. So to get something like the Jeffersons, brothers felt like they had made it. Now, somebody in the chat room, one of the people who put a one in the chat room, what I need to know, we got 170 likes, man. We need to get the likes over... We need to get the likes over 350. We need to get the likes over 350. And we're going to need at least five folks to throw something in there. Juxtapose the Jeffersons. There you go, Tiffany. There's a juxtapose for you. Shout out to the PhD, Tiffany. The one who don't want to get married because she's a PhD. Juxtapose that with good times about a black family in Chicago with a hard-working father by the name of James Evans. Now, I need somebody in the chat room to tell me what college did George Jefferson graduate from? What college did George Jefferson graduate from? Again, if you curse, talk crazy, you're going to be timed out. Express yourself like the accomplished people you are. Rotaid 504, that is for you. Jared, Dark Force, Tony, what are y'all talking about? Rich? Jared, what are y'all talking about? He didn't graduate from college. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You're telling me that this black man who moved up onto the Upper East Side of New York City moved his family from Queens to the Upper East Side and didn't graduate from college? Heck, did this happen?  How did that happen? He had to be on Wall Street or something like that. He had to have a white college job. I mean, come on, what are you telling me? Joe, are you telling me this brother wasn't a doctor, lawyer, a moving shaker on Wall Street? He wasn't a banker? He wasn't a real estate mogul? Okay, he at least was a drug dealer, right?  Are you telling me? What are you talking about, big old swole? James, are you kidding me? How can a black man move from Queens where they got more dead people than the live people? They got more people buried in Queens than the living in Queens. How in the heck did you get a black man to go from Queens to the richest neighborhood in one of the most expensive cities in the world without going to Harvard or Yale or MIT or something?  He had to do something. I mean, he wasn't a lawyer. I mean, this was back in the days before massive computer systems, and he didn't wear a suit to work. I mean, he didn't go to Howard.  ZB says he was also a fictitious character. To you, he was, and that's part of the problem. ZB, are you a man or a woman? This man who moved his family from Queens to the up east side of town to where his wife didn't even have to work and their grown son could go to college and he haven't had a room. His wife was living so good the apartment they had, they had a maid. They had a maid in an apartment on the up east side. They didn't have no palatial country home. His wife did not work. She didn't have 50, 11 babies. She didn't have eight kids hanging off of her and she wasn't no super fine. Oh, don't get ahead of yourself, Godfather, but she had a maid. Her job was to get up and to be Miss Blue Henry because George Jefferson was a blue collar man. He owned dry cleaners. He owned dry cleaners. Ownership. What did I talk about in that video I did last week? So many women skip right over the blue collar men and try to go get white collar men and you don't realize George Jefferson wasn't 75 years old when he didn't have to get his wife over to the up east side in the walker to where she had a good four years before hip gave out. No, no, she was in her late 30s or 40s. Late 30s or 40s. She had a whole lot of life ahead of her to sit down, put her feet up and just be Miss Blue Henry. What do we notice about Louise Jefferson? Louise Jefferson was never going to be confused with being a beauty queen. She was dark skin, short hair and rather fluffy. But unlike a lot of women around that time she went ahead and got with a man who was working at a dry cleaner who was ambitious, enterprising married that guy and he built an empire. How many of her college educated AKA Delta, you know, white collar men hmm, how many women today would skip right over George Jefferson? Do single educated women have contempt or the same for blue collar men? I will say yes. I have personally heard and witnessed this far more. See, when I gave that story at the first of the show about the women that came to me to try to get their husbands a makeover they were not black.  Had it happen with white women. Rather often started my business coming to get their husbands makeovers. Told you I got two kids named after me. Why is that? Well lack or not Blake Henry or Keith Henry in this particular case.  Least five to one. And that's an income. That's just income. That's not in sheer number of positions. So why is it that when you're on a show like I was on earlier today with obsidian you got miss private collar or whatever. Talking about it's not as though sisters won't date blue collar men. It's just that when a sister goes to college and she gets educated she expands her horizons and she starts to look at the world differently and a lot of these blue collar guys maybe good guys but they don't want to do anything. They're not cultured. They're not cultured. They're boring. I hear this often from black women regarding blue collar men. I've heard black women diss blue collar men in my face thinking I was going to laugh at the joke. Yeah see over there the guy shining shoes he's a worker.  We bosses over here not realizing I come from blue collar families blue collar roots.  Let's cut to the chase. Let's cut to the chase. The black Henry their wives are sevens or better in the face or eights or better in the body that means if you are six you don't get a black Henry not unless you get him while you're in college after you graduate from college once you're 23 or older you don't get a black Henry you don't get to make those demands like that a love at first sight show that we were looking at by the way they chose to not to end their marriage they chose to end their marriage the brother they didn't really want to work an assistant who wanted to be a stay at home wife couldn't see that coming this is the stay in your lane argument we easy stayed in her lane and we got far too many sisters who think because you have a piece of paper with a seal on it and somebody's greed that makes you more physically attractive nope it doesn't you're not attractive enough did I say that? I said it because like it or not the CJ kings of the world got that pick 100% of the top 20% of women want 5% of men so this conversation is for the women who haven't screwed their lives up the women who are not 35 plus who've already got too far in their career too much baggage on them and think too highly of themselves I've said it to another caller have you noticed that the older or the more degreed or the higher earning a woman is the less she is willing to compromise that's fine you don't have to well let me explain a couple of things first of all go back and watch my other show let me say this definitively I got a shout out over there salute to my blue collar brother I said it before and I said again white collar men ain't shit without you we aren't shit without blue collar men the world runs on what blue collar men do with their hands yeah white collar men may have enough money to buy the house but we can't build the house the only reason this kind of exists right now is the world in general we got first world problems but if the power grid went out and the zombies started coming out give me all you going to want to be around the blue collar men not the white collar guys go look on bear grillers survival island I told this story to a blue collar brother earlier see when you got a bunch of men on the island and they got to survive and there's no food no water you got to kill and eat every you got three meals to provide for every day with no refrigerator no grocery store right you don't have time for a lot of high-fluted ideas hunger is setting in three days without water you're dead go watch episode go watch the first season and the first season there's a guy in there from the rough scrabble parts of London blue collar guy and they got real classism over there the white collar guy you thought he was a pamper pansy the white collar guy they found a net it needed to be repaired it needs some stuff done on it the white collar guy said you know what yeah you're the best fisherman and the only fisherman but you can only catch one or two three fish a day you're just keeping us going we're not going to get any bigger we're just not going to die as long as you fish because the rest of us can't the blue collar guy had to feed them but the white collar guy got a chance to put the nets together and work on his work on that and the net filled time after time after time after time after time after time after time after time but one time the net finally worked and it came up big 21 fish then another time it came up with 33 fish the white collar guy came up with an idea that multiplied magnitudes more fish remember that magnitudes more magnitudes more so a lot of women would look and say look at what the white collar did the white collar guy made sure that not only he could eat but he got the entire group he provided enough bounty for everybody to wear that if there were women there and children everyone would have ate the blue collar man worked hard but he only provided a little the white collar man worked with his mind and provided a lot and that's the bullshit mythology you've been sold but let me tell you something what we as men know the white collar guy who put the nets together he had nothing but respect for the blue collar man because the blue collar man got up there and did the work every god darn day and he brought in the two or three little fish that it took to keep the white collar guy going to have the energy to go back and do everything the white collar guy would have been dead before he could have provided the solution without the blue collar guy see men notice about one another that's why we don't diss each other like that you ladies just look at outcomes but his collar is bigger than that collar and his tie looks better than this blue collar and that's your problem because remember ladies you're marrying a husband a partner for life you're not marrying a check why do non black women seem to have this figured out why do non black women have the same amount of disdain contempt for blue collar men and I'll listen to this woman try to sit back and explain as to why you know well you know it's not really that bad and you know it comes down to this you're in love with the thought of what it could be instead of what it really is blue collar men marriage and education dear educated women blue collar men can earn great livings it's worth remembering if you're looking for a husband or a partner the US economy is aching for more highly skilled technologically and trained people but if the men end up limiting their eventual marriage but if men end up limiting their eventual marriage prospects if they pursue careers in the trades if they pursue a career degree some portion of women who have bachelors or post baccalaureate degrees avoid romantic involvement with such guys holding out for those BAs MBAs JDEs which is to say they seek potential husbands who have degrees that are more generally esteemed than those who have earned in a year or two same with the kinds of training acquired by armed forces this is a vital matter because young men who enjoy working with their hands might choose not to pursue careers in construction manufacturing for fear women would dismiss them out of hand as life partners but do women with more advanced degrees really steer clear of men in trades in similar fields do they really give men with advanced degrees more position in the black community without a doubt it's called marrying down how many blue color men know for a fact you have out earned your black female counterpart but because she has an office job she has a nerve to look down on you and guys like you while she's in tens of thousands of dollars a debt happens all the time why sisters why do you have such disdain for blue color men it ain't how the men look at each other let's also answer these questions blue color men white color men can't do shit without blue color men that's why we respect them blue color men have in my experience tend to have more class than a lot of white color women oh shit why because far too many white color women are so rude so disrespectful so contemptuous so contentious with how in which they handle blue color men and I'm not talking about the guy who's just working I'm talking about the blue Henrys the guys who you blow it because you're fast over George Jefferson because all you see is the dry cleaner you don't see that he has he's doing that to learn the business and he's getting his credit together so he can buy a chain of dry cleaners you don't even get to that point in the conversation you just go in there and hand him your cleaning then when he ends up marrying Becky because this is what's happening see George back in the 70s married a dark skinned woman because George wouldn't have been able to get one of them high in Whitley Gilbert's he married Wheezy but now he's marrying Becky and married soul damn did I say this did I say this that's right colorism ain't no colorism black men don't want dark skinned black women mm-mm what black men are you talking about you jumping over a whole group of black men who are skilled tradespeople who in any other group would be superstars because they're not cultured you can't take them nowhere I can't go nowhere with these guys they're boring they're uncouth and obsidian actually brought this point up if these shows the last couple three weeks have showed nothing else black men you need to understand something right wrong or indifferent this is the expectation pay attention regardless as to what they say black women want and expect men to pay all 100% of the bills all without exception don't listen to what they say this is what they want and this is what they want this is what they want and this is what they expect so when you hear that woman talk about 50-50 or can't we do 70-30 that 70-30 only comes along once they feel good that you can actually pay 100% at least I get an assistant on that when I was going off on an assistant in Houston talking about you're broke if you don't earn two or three times as much as me she said I will pay for a man to do something if I know and seeing and validate it that he makes more money and blah blah blah blah blah I give her credit for at least saying the truth now she'll never get that she'll never expect you to pay all the bills so understand something if you're a black man and you want to get married or if you want to have children you might as well and you expect to marry a black woman you might as well get just divorce yourself of this 50-50 shit that 50-50 argument goes away I didn't make these rules guys and just because they say they'll accept it okay try it compromise versus sacrifice I think this has a lot to do with that 80% divorce rate because like it or not I'm not going down that path everybody got work to do everybody got work to do but the thing is ladies the blue color men are the ones that will be more likely to have stable income for the longest they're not at the whim of companies and corporations balance sheets or internal politics I said it last week blue color men work around men you don't have to worry about blue color men having to affair with somebody they work with and let's stay on the DL so why is it why is it ladies why is it that you have so much disdain for your black male for your black blue color men why do you have so much disdain for blue color bae blue henry bae blue color bae henry high earner not rich yet and bae bold ambitious and enterprising see blue color men like George Jefferson they have to be bold they're not just sitting on working first shift until they die first shift is a means to an end because they're ambitious they're looking to put in overtime and work as hard as they can they're working working working they are working they are ambitious when they're not at work they are looking to do something better they're looking to improve themselves these are the self talk guys the guys who pick up they'll take a class at night time just because they want to learn philosophy see here's one thing on the blue color side if you're a blue henry you do yourself better than a more well rounded man so you can be able to so you'll be able to network with other guys because you're not going to fit the blue color worker never wanting to own anything world you're always going to be thinking bigger than a worker knowing self to the workers but that's it they're always going to feel like why are you always trying to be there we just trying to get overtime after self educate self teach yourself and see this is where a lot of women from other races end up coming in and winning women from other cultures are willing to sit back and evaluate a man based upon not just the dirt under his fingernail they'll listen to how he speaks if he's a blue collar man but he has a better vocabulary and a better reading list than you hello don't you think that's odd or do you even get that far or do you even get that far do you even get that far how many do single educated women have contempt or disdain for blue collar men outright that's the question on the table that's the question on the table and I want to hear from some of you guys let me do something real quick I'm going to play a little music while I'm going to go look in the super chats we're going to bring in the second part of the show second part of the show the call in line is open 3M and you make a video on how to keep and maintain that blue Henry once you get them and you're already a stay at home wife get on the show ladies yeah Weezy didn't work Weezy didn't work man Weezy did not work Weezy had a maid, Weezy had the life somebody asked can you can you tell me how to get a blue can you tell me how to keep a black Henry once you get them what the meeting ended oh we got to do this again no let me do this again I got to start the meeting all over again here we go moderators drop the new link in the chat room my question here's the question lady asked me can I show you how to keep a black my question is this Bre why do you want Blake why do you pick Blake over blue what is it about you women that always want to go for Blake see that's the real question can you can you tell me make a video on how to keep Blake Henry the short answer is yes I can and the long answer is I will not do it for free if you want that you're going to have to pay a premium for that get your one on one yep yep that's what that's what you're going to have to do because if you want to be a stay at home wife to a high earning white color man you're going to pay just like your non black counterparts here we go how many of these women would be ashamed to bring home a blue color man how many women would be ashamed to bring a blue color man a blue Henry around her sorority sisters her mom and them how many how many of you ladies I feel you but I would be so ashamed to bring this guy who's a trucker around my family even though I know he has plans to buy several more trucks and open up a fleet in the training school somebody got you're not on the screen so I can't see you you won't be on the screen there you go I'm ashamed I'm not bringing I'm ashamed if I'm not bringing anyone home other than you well come on ladies testing guests I don't know who this is she says I'm not ashamed okay so let's be honest how many college educated women dismissed blue color men right out of hand when you're in your right out of school this is where this is important right out of college 23 to 28 how many of you are dismissing blue Henry's outright when your white counterparts are marrying them how many of you how many black women dismiss blue Henry's in their early 20s outright because he can't get the time off because he can't run down to Jamaica or whatever he said my boy owns a fleet of trucks with routes all over the US earns over 500k profit regular looking dude with a house in PA sitting on 20 acres there you go how many women did not realize that they were really screwing themselves over by avoiding thinking they were too good for these men let me also say this unequivocally ladies if no one else has told you let me be the first one to tell you you are not doing blue color men a favor by dating them let me be 100% clear with that you are not doing blue color men a favor by dating them where am I getting a lot of this stuff from because I've heard this a lot of my life college educated women who just have such contempt for these guys like yeah I will consider dating him if he's this this this this this whoa wait a minute are you 5 foot 4 and 120 pounds do you have an 800 credit rating and no debt I mean with the kind of demands you're making are you that fine too bad most of the workers are just in their 20s too bad most of the workers that are in their 20s are not in Los Angeles see what you find out is also a lot of women just are afraid to get honest with it it's like dang can I hear you no I can't I cannot hear you but the microphone works just well turn on the original sound try again come on in somebody get on the show I want to see if somebody if I can hear you I need as I need a snow bunny they are F.A. the long hail long haul first up dude you need to learn how to spell what are you talking about they are F.A. the long haul see so I go back to that show married love at first sight you got to know where you rank ladies what is your SMV your sexual marketplace value are you hot enough to demand Blake Henry you understand something Blake Henry there are not a lot of especially since today so many guys aren't going to college these guys aren't just going to be dealing with women they aren't going to be what they want look I didn't make the rules and my thing is this how many women would love to be able to get their minds right how many women would love to be able to get their minds right and get to the point you're like you know what damn this I'm good I'm ready to actually put in 6 months or a year of training to get my shit together so I can end up being a better catch thank chance to say you're not getting white women spilling like that you're damn right you're not getting no women spilling like that thank no see shout out to Eric I'm not putting any group of women on any pedestal but I will tell you this that non black women have been talked to go after their mates strategically I have a question for a lot of sisters if you could not use your sex what else would you be bringing to the table no heat no judgment but if you could not use your feminine sexuality because there comes a time and you know a lot of high earners they're not having butt-naked freaky circus sex for 2 hours Blake Henry is not coming home from a 12 16 hour day and spending an hour in bed with you he does not have that time you're going to give 15 good minutes 15 maybe 30 minutes actually closer to 22 minutes a 30 minute sitcom is what you get and most of that is you servicing him you get what Bernie max said you get 50 good pumps these guys are not trying to they should not have to make you come 5 times you should come just sitting in the house looking at all this bounty can we talk about it you want to be a stay at home wife have a nanny be a soccer mom have kids in private school then you want your husband to come home after a 16 12 16 hour days and you want him to make love to you like a like an 18 year old college student no you're going to be pleasing him that already pissed off a lot of women like what so I got a so I can't get no I'm not saying what you have to I'm just saying my boys my boys have wives they're in a position they are and they're happy to be there they're happy to be there hello let me see hello I can't hear you can you hear me now Kev yeah I can cool it works speak up can you hear me now Kev what you got for me alright first and foremost Kev do me a favor do me one favor just call me Kev Kev I just don't Kev no problem long time fan me and my business partner we've been following you for well over a year we're blue collar we're both retired NYPD detectives and we literally we are in total awe of the subject matter because we have experienced this I've dated women nurses attorneys etc they'll say things like hey you know once you finish a degree X Y and Z meanwhile I make more than them wait wait whoa whoa now correct me if I wrong but don't police officers have like pretty damn good benefits listen Kev I'll tell you right now I have been seriously injured on the job I get 75% of my pension and I'm able to do whatever I want to do outside of that and I earn outside of that whether it's via security whether it's private investigations etc I'm also an expert witness also so we have that range of doing so I talked to one brother that he was like just turning 40 and he was doing high-end security for high-end corporate stuff there's so much money in that stuff listen in New York City if you are a retired cop this doesn't say you didn't get rank at all you're a retired cop plain simple the average retired cop average cop in New York City is making over $100,000 a year you make detective there's three there's three tiers to it it's third grade, second grade, first grade third grades make anywhere north of now top pay of 140 second graders make anywhere 160, first graders make 180 you retire if you retire with a half of that that's so if you just say you make it to second grade that's half of that you retire for the rest of your life as you're breathing with full benefits so let me ask you this how often is it you see your white Hispanic counterparts over 30 over who are in the mid to late 20s 30s who are married they married really quickly because their community understands exactly what they have they have what is called the Long Island princesses and these are girls who work at Applebee's, work at Hooters that get with cops, firemen etc because they know about the benefits they know their pension system better than they do are you ladies freaky listening so I mean this is like you know and you have sisters that sit here that have some disdain, you know, tour cops etc and I can understand that well I mean in a sense well you know what Cap I grew up in a city and I can understand the angst but at the same time though you're a therapy that takes care of all that shit especially when you're sitting at home and you know what's funny is that most of my white counterparts wives don't work that's the joke that's the joke it's like they don't work and we call them the Long Island princesses when I lived we call them the Long Island princesses because these guys when I worked at narcotics we were getting 60 hours a month over time whether we liked it or not so I mean so you're working around the clock it is what it is you're working all different types of hours so these guys used to kill it their wives are not working at all, their kids are going to private school they're paying $15,000 to $18,000 to $20,000 to taxes a year it's a big myth that people just don't understand because you're being told something through television or some other type of medium but in New York City this is what it is let me say this when I was my last years relationship we lived in a very very nice subdivision in Moore Moore, Oklahoma very nice it was one of the best neighborhoods that I ever lived in and there were cops all around the place no one was coming into the neighborhood the units were I guess that's the word, the unit the cop cars are sitting in the driveway and these houses were huge and guess what, the cops were roll out the wives are sitting up in the house going to local Starbucks and it was white as snow and now I'm in there because I'm a corporate executive my girl and I saw brothers living there single as hell and of course they never had a problem with having women but these dudes are like I don't get it man, Charles what's going on man woo the doctor of style and profile is here ladies and gentlemen y'all got it for a second man I don't understand what women are see this is the problem number one I never had problems getting women in my adult life God forbid all women just put a gut at a bad joint they'll just flock to you I don't give a damn but nobody says Jesus Christ the amount of overtime God and I'm on a promotion list to be a sergeant Jesus Christ ah man I'll tell you if you, I dare any woman to look down upon a blue collar guy and a contrition of plumber even the it does tell the dirty little secret a lot of these blue collar guys are making more money than some of these a lot of these so called educated women mm-hmm but they won't take advantage of these guys no you know great looking guys great personality guys oh he's under me because he works on plumbing can you do it do you know how much do you know how much the guy who comes into your corporate office gets paid just to look at that damn pipe right I don't get it man I don't get it but a man who works police fire they have fraternity of brothers in their profession plus they work for I don't want to use the wrong words just call it the state defense like you don't see many brothers firefighters you forgot one thing Kevin positions of power well I know a lot of cops who go on and start their private security firms and do security for international businessmen and I'm like Jesus do you know who I was security for actually bodyguard of Stephanie Mills in common Vivica A. Fox freeway that's just making a thousand to twelve hundred dollars that day well got gun will travel well ladies you heard it coming from what's his mouth thanks guys I'm gonna go ahead and finish

instead of trying to always see hypergamy always trying to find the next bit bigger dude hypergamy hurts you because men look at hypergamous women and they have no sympathy for them shout out to Antoine Wade men look at hypergamous women women who try to level up and continue to get the next better deal if you don't think Keith Henry can look as watching your moves and seeing that you monkey branch from here to here to here to here to here you are a climber and my boys avoid climbers because climbers will drop you for the next branch why is it so hard to so a lot of women need to be told they need to settle I use the word settle because that's what it sounds like to a lot of sisters you gotta settle no and that actually what it means is you just need to make a good choice stop trying to find Mr. Perfect you're not perfect notice the women Marsha C why won't you get on the show mm-hmm Becky knows how to identify potential mm-hmm Toyo why won't y'all get on the show because if you're learning you can't learn from just general information just basic questions you have to show your face there are 835 people watching and here's the real deal I want to see happy people anybody would tell you when I started this year it's about happy Henry Henry's are happier when they have women in their life that are there to make them happy I rather have my Henry's with no women versus happening with women that are going to be chaos but I can't lie and say that 95% of my Henry's they want wives so I want the best caliber of women and God did Weezy look unhappy I mean she may have had a complaint or two I guarantee it's a hell of a lot easier to complain from the 72nd floor of an Upper East Side apartment with a maid she wasn't complaining about the gas being turned off the lights not happening they just you'll take Weezy's complaints shout out Mr. G what sister in here don't want Weezy's complaints Marsha you want Weezy's complaints how about this how many women in the chat room would love to just say willing to raise your hand and say I want to be married happily married I want to be happily married put a one in chat room ladies Miss French Twist a lot of men who go for good looking women let me go ahead and put this down here because Sandra Bullock is not a great let me go ahead and put this in here because sound like a sound like a woman we talk to so Miss French Twist there's a lot of good looking men who go for good looking women with great bodies will drop you for the next better looking woman how do you know that have you been dropped for a better looking woman Miss French Twist look at all the people Weezy was George's mother Weezy wasn't George's mother Louise was Weezy Miss French Twist did you get love for a better looking woman that's what I want to know Tank Johnson he said that's a lie I want to see that question while we're waiting for Miss French Twist to answer the question what do you want to be made ok see here's what you want to get yourself hurt lady so Miss French Twist that's what she said instead of answering the question what does she do she came in and said men are visually motivated and always looking so what do we know about Miss French Twist guys what do we know about her a woman who does not answer a direct question with a direct answer and she either answers a question with a question or she moves a goal post or deflects what do we know about them they are disingenuous at best and likely the problem in their lives so all she wants to come over here and do is have talking points Miss French Twist you're not going to be allowed to do that over here you're not going to be allowed to do that over here ma'am I'm not going to say she's ugly of fat but I will tell you she's not happy she's damn sure not happy the question was she made a statement that said men who go for good looking women in a good shape will leave you for a better looking woman and I said that's bull I said does that happen to you and she didn't answer the question she said men are visually motivated so in other words no it didn't happen to me didn't happen to her see no I'm married to a great man who makes good money whew put them on the phone Miss French Twist I swear to God I get more happy women over here with conchery points of view who have no avatar ha ha ha I should play the lottery I get the this is better than bingo I get women who are married happy to men who make lots of money but they're conchery and no avatar this doesn't seem to work out in life we don't believe her Miss French Twist you are not married Miss French Twist your husband is not your boyfriend is not making a lot of money Miss French Twist don't come in here thinking you can lie to us we know better ha ha ha ha ha oh my God Stacey Young what's going on Stacey Young how many women honestly I don't have to work no okay well let me go ahead and help you go ahead and time you out we don't want to talk to you no more I'm going to give you 5 minutes to go talk to your imaginary husband you got 5 minutes 300 seconds to go please your husband how many women are who are over 34 years old who are at the point to where you're willing to change your standards because if you're over 30 and unmarried I mean I'm going to say over 34 if you're over 30 and unmarried ladies you got to change you got to drop those that list of stuff you got to drop that list of stuff because if you're over 30 I don't care even if you find that you're over 30 you don't have leverage over these guys you don't have leverage over my boys you got leverage over maybe the other 80% of men but this is the top 20% of men you don't need you don't have you don't have that we need the KPIs you need to keep performance indicators if you make it over 30 and I'm married if you make it over 30 and you're not married you got to really start you got to put a smart if a man could put his mind in a woman's body men if they were in a women's position that way I can say you know what I'm going to get around a bunch of high value potential men and I'm going to get as humble as hell and I'm going to learn about what they want and I am going to become that because that sounds like safety you know what safety is Mr. Bowtie for a woman a safety for a woman would be to become the best housewife material possible so she could get a man to come in and save her from herself ooh did I say that out loud so he could come save you from yourself Toya says I'm okay okay thank you I'm army ooh army ooh uh oh okay save you from yourself a lot of women need to be saved for themselves in a negative way because you're better off being with the blue Henry or black Henry or remember the hit squad we're past the hit squad you're better with blue or black being the the administrator of his empire or would you rather stay out here working would you rather stay out here working alright I don't want to lag this on let's click to 100 minutes 14 minutes at the end of the day take this as new knowledge going forward it will be wise not gonna go to the army because the army has a lot of stigma when it comes to women army and navy okay for you ladies who are in the military I will just tell you stigma men look at women who've been in the navy and think you've been run through because of the sheer amount of sex that happens on ships and in the army same thing so you're gonna have to deal with that but what was I saying look ladies you are survivors you're adaptable adapt to your femininity and learn and start doing what your white counterparts are doing what your white and your Asian counterparts are doing learn from your white and Asian counterparts and go talk to your Hispanic counterparts because you're not as quick to go talk to your white counterpart the issue between white women and black women the dynamics are just off Asian women y'all probably don't get along with them that well but more likely you can go talk to Latina and say how do you put up with and let them school you swirling is not an authentic solution what are you talking about swirling is not an authentic solution what are you talking about swirling or howdy my opinion far too many black women worry about silly shit like swirling and colorism job number one would be to find a husband job number one should be to find a husband find a good husband and be a wife to him that would be job number one instead of worrying about a bunch of other stuff that would I would say that far too many people get preoccupied with a bunch of stuff that got nothing to do with them be a wife be a mother be a wife be a mother I mean instead of having all these opinions instead of being having all these opinions which do nothing but just do these opinions make your bed are these opinions do they warm your bed at night do these opinions soothe your jangled nerves do these opinions nibble on your air and blow and kiss you on the back of your neck do these opinions grab you and hold you and make you feel hell do these opinions break you do you have something proper like do these opinions do any of that for you do these opinions make carry you around your other girlfriends to where they know damn she got a winner all you and your girlfriends sitting around talking about the same thing all these damn opinions wouldn't you rather be the girl that comes over with the 1.5 or 2 carat ring listening to all your friends' opinions you're just like mm-hmm yeah girl yeah it's hard out yeah man I'm on our brick yeah all that stuff uh oh I gotta get home to make dinner for my hubby yeah gotta get home make dinner for my hubby my hubby bubby hubby bubby yeah I gotta get home to make dinner for blue blue Henry Bay yeah but girl I'll see you

Welcome back to Think Tech. I'm Jay Feidell. This is Global Correlations. We're talking to Russell Hanluck. He's the Hawaii advisor to APEC, and APEC is coming up again. Welcome to the show, Russell. Yeah. Thank you, Jay. Thank you for inviting me again at this show. I know that APEC conferences in San Francisco without a leaders are getting together now. And hopefully it's going to be starting from November 12th through the 17th. And we just finished the one in Seattle, which they had the woman in economic forum there. And prior to that, I was there earlier prior to that meetings and try to help out the agriculture side and got some of the universities involved like Washington State University and some of these, because they're kind of advancing agriculture technology so they can supply the supply chain with Washington State as well as the whole West Coast with Oregon through California. We're one of the leaders and global leaders when it comes to food supply chain. So we should promote our agriculture and farmers so we can export more food to these developing nations that's widely needed. You mentioned that there was a U.S.-China summit meeting in San Francisco. What's the relationship of the U.S.-China summit meeting with APEC? Yeah, exactly. That's a very important meeting that the Xi Jinping and Joe Biden can meet on the sideline. As a matter of fact, I wrote a letter to them regarding to that they should meet on the sideline and kind of work on some of the trade agreement issues that was still pending when Donald Trump was a president when they put a lot of sanctions and trade tariffs on some of these imports that we brought. So it was that kick for tat and we can, some of these American products abroad in China still have export sanctions on it so we want to work on some of these trade issues and continue what we can go with the phase one status right now before we can go to the phase two that was under the Donald Trump administration. You wrote to Joe Biden and I think you wrote to Kamala Harris. What exactly did you suggest to them in your letter? Actually, I kind of suggested that you meet Xi Jinping and talk to them about some of the global issues that still pending not only in our trade and tariffs but the situation with the freedom of navigation, the manmade islands abroad, as well as the Taiwan issue that's very controversial because we don't want China to engage in a situation globally and what Russia is trying to do with the Ukraine war as what's happening in Israel with Hamas at the Gaza Strip and we're afraid that China might lean towards Russia to help them with the arms control and supply some of these goods to promote the war, global wars and we don't want them to get involved with the World War III kind of status with Taiwan and kind of with the situation what's going on with North Korea with Kim and Moon regime because I know that Vladimir Putin has met Kim and Moon and they had discussed some of those kind of issues. So they confirmed some things here. Do we know that both Joe Biden and Xi Jinping are going to be at this meeting in San Francisco? Do we know that? I think they haven't officially made announcement exactly where and what time they're going to meet but I know there's within the state officials through the foreign ministry as well with our state department. I know there's they're working on some of the logistics and agenda and I'm not privy to see exactly what they're trying to what agenda they're going to be discussing but I'm just kind of coming to make some suggestions from the overall picture which direction we should move based on what the past administration has done. So you gave some advice to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris about what should be discussed I guess at this summit. Did they respond to you? Did they agree or disagree? Did anybody from the White House contact you over it? Not exactly. They haven't made me an official acknowledgement saying that thank you or anything but I'm sure they had read it and know what the content is about and hopefully that in terms of Kamala Harris she'd been a vice president. I know she took the gavel during the Thailand summit and said that we're going to be hosting it in San Francisco so I hope she takes the leadership in charge and maybe we'll get India moldy to be there and we can maybe make announcement that India can be a member of the 22nd APEC organization and that might kind of enlighten a lot of the trade with India as well and have our better relationship with them. So is Kamala Harris going to be at the summit? I hope so definitely. She's the one that grabbed the gavel when she was at the Thailand summit last November so I know that Joe Biden had to go to the East Asia summit in ASEAN so the time conflict and had to go return back to Washington so I know Kalama Harris took the gavel instead and said hey we're going to have it in San Francisco so I hope that the people on the mayor over there, London Breed and the governor, Gavison Newsom, the governor of California is gearing up for this big gathering within the APEC Asia Pacific region leaders and hopefully the European Union leaders should be there because last couple days ago. Wait a minute, if this is an APEC meeting there are what 22 countries, 21 countries in APEC and those are the ones that are invited. I didn't know they included the European Union or anyone outside what Asia Pacific, it's all about Asia Pacific isn't it? Why these other countries involved? I think there are more like a sidelined observers I would say because I know that European Union want to work together with the APEC organization and I've been kind of pushing that matter of fact where the European Union with 28 countries plus Brexit can work together with the APEC organization which has 21 countries but if we include India it would be the 22nd member because all the other ASEAN countries who wants to be a member so we want to basically have this Eurasia infrastructure development back what China is trying to do but we're going to use an economic framework with the West countries because within the organization that I think will make it fair to all small and medium countries to get their fair share. You know Russell I thought that APEC rotated the venue around among its 21 members but we had APEC here what less than 10 years ago in Hawaii and now this is happening in San Francisco it's both places are in the United States. What happened to the rule about rotating so that every country gets a shot at it every 21 years? I think what happened was basically when we hosted in 2011 that's 12 years ago when President Barack Obama was the president and I happened to be in the APEC business advisory council representing Hawaii and I matter that got me started with coming up with a paper on working together with a small and medium enterprise should work with a large enterprise and I kind of critiqued some of the write-ups but anyways going back the rotation maybe because of the COVID and economic situation that we're in we need to have a stable country to host it and matter of fact next year Peru has going to be hosting the 2024 APEC conference and 2025 two years from now it's going to be hosted in South Korea so every two years they're going to have a voting. Now you've been following APEC for more than a decade for sure and you were the advisor to the APEC in what 2011 it took place here in Hawaii and you wrote the or at least you wrote a draft of the APEC master plan I'm assuming that's the framework the economic framework you talked about but question is how has APEC changed over the years because Russell the world has changed over the years and right now we have you know a number of hotspots around the world we have two active wars to say nothing about the Armenian conflict to say nothing about the Taiwan threat we have all kinds of stresses and strains and geopolitical issues and declines and one would think that APEC will have changed over the past few years during the Trump administration when he didn't really bring things together he rather separated them and like with his sanctions and the tension with China and so forth so how has APEC changed this ought to be in a stark meeting because of the changes and because of the tone and the relationships individually and by country what do you think I'm glad you asked that question I'm glad that you literate it up that J you know in terms of APEC I know but when I started we're all pushing for this Bogart amendment Bogart doctrine where by year of 2020 all APEC countries should have a free trade area in the Indo or Asia Pacific region we call the Indo Pacific region now but back then we call the Asia Pacific region and hopefully have a free trade agreement with those countries so in other ways all APEC regions through that I would say 60% of the global trade will have a free trade area and I was trying to make Hawaii and TPP was one of the free trade agreement for United States the Trans Pacific Partnership free trigger and China came up with the RCEP regional comprehensive free trade and got the ASEAN countries involved so hopefully there was a little conflict so that kind of persuaded when Donna Trump came in office he withdrew from the TPP and when Biden came in we call it now the economic framework so that is a new terminology that we use now economic framework and what is that hopefully we have India and Fiji involved with the TPP members but China is kind of getting smart so this meaning with all the geopolitical situation globally what's happening with the Ukraine war with the supply chain issues as well the Israel with the Hamas and the terrorist group with the Iran involved with the BRICS nation because the BRICS nations included Iran this other area so the Iran's are involved with it so there's a lot of players are involved with the geopolitical situation so I think what China wants to do with the Xi Jinping's meeting with Joe Biden is significant because they want to kind of understand what's going on globally with geopolitical China wants to play my major role to kind of be a intermediator or more like keep up with their peace plan that they submitted with the Ukraine war maybe and they want to make good ties with the United States and they can move forward in a better way instead of banging his and doing this kick foot act kind of trade war we need to resolve some of these sanctions and move forward with the trade issues that is very crucial because we're generating you know even Donna Trump when he pushed for the sanctions we grossed about 360 billion dollars annually on the sanctions so we kind of that's still sitting limbo so the US Treasury is collecting roughly about 360 billion dollars of trade tariffs import tax from what China that we bring but then it's giving price supports to the farmers and the like so it's really not a win a win for the US but let's move on let's go to the question of the United States attitude toward international agreements we have a time in our history right now ever since I kid it was revealed ever since Trump was in office and that is that we're isolationist and the republican party is isolationist and not too concerned with the international agreements and cooperation I imagine and not too concerned with APEC and so that that has been a real problem in terms of supporting countries that need our support such as Ukraine and Israel it's been a problem in dealing with the Armenian conflict you know and for that matter Taiwan so what I get though is that although the administration does the right thing and wants to do the right thing Congress is largely isolationist is anybody from Congress going to be at this summit is Congress interested in APEC is it interested in in Indo-Pacific is it interested in these diplomatic meetings and trade meetings that are that customarily take place at APEC or is it that they don't come and they don't care well good thing you asked me they do care just that the common people or the top 10% of the elites of the CEOs and the business and the chamber of commerce and the US chamber are precipitating on this with the international trade administration's US Commerce Department pushing for these kind of dialogues and trade shows beside the state department so you see a lot of the in terms of the leadership we just finished the G7 summit like you said the global leaders the G7 is pretty big with the European leaders there and they had it in Japan Japan hosted the ministers so I know that Anthony Blinken was there and they had a good dialogue and they were saying that how important global situation is and that they have to work together to bring harmony and peace again so in other words the G7 countries and the European Union are part of the G7 so they got representation there as well so that's going to be and I think they might be at the San Francisco APEC conference they're going to be a sideline observer so you'd be surprised you know there's people kind on this conference in San Francisco and hopefully we can revive and put that in their economic plan and make San Francisco like it was before the Pacific of a financial center and that might be a good approach and they need to restructure the Silicon Valley issues I know they're promoting hard on the artificial intelligence is anybody from Congress going to show up and anybody from the Republican party going to show up because after all this affects the country and it affects the world it certainly affects trade and the economy so so query do they care enough to come or are they just hiding and being isolationist well I'm not an insider for Washington DC but I know the United States trade representatives of office Catherine Tai she's our trade representative for under the executive office of the White House under Joe Biden administration so I know they're pushing hard for this and they're pushing for the economic framework to work and hopefully that's going to bring our friends and allies and partners together and do this your Asia infrastructure development so they want to bring the whoever wants to be part of our team wants to be part of the economic framework and I think that China wants to eventually want to be a member with the economic framework and instead of competing I know they want to work together so maybe with Xi Jinping and Joe Biden's going to be a crucial meeting and I hope that their friendship that they had in the past going to pay off and that we can move forward one thing that people are concerned about is China's attempt to steal our intellectual property and to steal our technology and to steal to hack and steal our data there's plenty of evidence about that including of course AI technology and you know there have been a number of revelations over that by intelligence agencies expressing great concern over China's of focused attempts to compete unfairly with the United States on technology and commercial secrets if you will and government secrets so query is this something that Joe Biden would be able to talk to Xi Jinping about are you are you suggesting that they discuss this I know within the trade representatives of their counterparts already trying to resolve this kind of issues but I know that in terms of spine espionage state with the state department they're still questioning what happened in the past with the spy balloon audience hacking within the Pentagon and the national security issues are very concerned and even with our intellectual property rights with infringement and copyrights you know in terms of those kind of matters has to be issued in order to we go on this trade phase two level that's still pending we haven't got to that phase two which talks about the intellectual property rights if they can get to that and prove that there are honorable country to honor these uh international property rights uh maybe we can make him a member of the economic framework that was that I made and what about uh you know the the uh South China Sea you mentioned it earlier it's it's really a problem and the the provocations are increasing around the South by China around the South China Sea uh on Filipino fishing and trade and of course uh on Taiwan and Taiwan Strait so so can this come up is this coming up in the APEC meeting in the summit in San Francisco well that gotta be included in the agenda I know there's a lot of subcommittees and in terms of us fishing wildlife in terms of uh uh turnage of the catch of the tuna and the fish that uh they do in an international water so I know there's association that looks at that kind of quota in terms of uh how much uh fishing uh natural resources that they can collect per year in terms of turnage so each country has that kind of regulation so I hope the international organization looks at that kind of uh matters I'm sure there is a concern I know the ASEAN countries are very concerned about that through their waters you know because they're that's their uh butter and bread for their livelihood so uh the fishery industry is very important to them well you know on South China Sea there was a case in front of the International Court in the Hague um regarding um you know maritime maritime freedom uh in in the South China Sea and uh China China didn't come even though China is a signatory to that agreement and and then the decision uh went against China and in favor of the Philippines a few years ago um and China has ignored the ignored the decision and so that raises the whole question about international bodies and organizations so we have here APEC which is important theoretically for economic framework but we also have the United Nations in the International Court in the Hague how what's the connection between this summit and APEC and the United Nations and the International Court um as you know J United Nation is a word opinion and uh it's formed after the World War two to have a word opinion of what countries are and APEC is similar to there's not a biding organization but it's a word opinion and voice that each countries and member can uh meet and tell the leaders and get the CEO businesses to understand what impacts in terms of economy and economic development and uh how they can move forward to feed our country and promote import export for the industry so that's what APEC stands for economic opportunity and cooperation and uh United Nation has this whole human they have different committees like uh trusteeship the social committee the security committee that very concerned with North Korea right now with Russian invasion of Ukraine and uh situates in Israel now they may be concerned about it but they haven't they haven't done anything about it the United Nations hasn't done anything with regard to the war crimes in Ukraine um or with regard to um you know the contention in the Middle East yeah I don't know how they could deal with China on some of these issues where China has staked the position has ignored the United Nations the International Court I mean is there any chance that at this meeting in San Francisco that China will change its position um about um about the Pacific about the South China Sea and so forth well I think going back to your first question about case of the Philippines before I answer your question Jay uh in Philippines case I remember when uh Durate was the president and uh when the International Court of Justice in terms of the man-made island territory or territorial issue of the international border lines uh they declared that it was against the law and uh and they awarded the Philippines to move forward with International Court so they can claim those man-made islands as Philippines but what happened was Xi Jinping made a deal with uh Durate so Durate didn't move forward with that but now with the new president Bon Bon Jr uh Marcus Flan uh Flan Marcus Flan Jr took the presidency so he's on the U.S. side because he was kind of racing Hawaii he understands the ramification of the military and department defense when we had the Subic Bay and Clark Air Force base and Subic Bay was a naval base so we have other other bases that's going to be in Philippines eventually but uh so what what's happening is that the the cars has turned around so if they want to they can still proceed with the International Court of Justice and Hague with those man-made islands and I think that's where the direction is going and to your question about Xi Jinping's uh situation with uh our national security uh issues uh I hope the working group bring those kind of issues and hope the state department and the counterpart uh uh Ziang or the uh their uh counselor of international foreign policy can bring those issues what uh Anthony Blinken our secretary and what what this meeting between Xi Jinping and uh Joe Biden at the APEC conference is probably more like a friendly kind of meeting that they understand which direction and they're going to get organizations committees together and try to resolve those kind of issue and saying that we're still friendship but what gets to me is a bad timing with those panda bears in Washington the zoo over there the Smithsonian Zoo they just left those uh three pandas going back to uh Beijing again so we need to bring back those panda bears back you know if we were under uh enhancer you know keep our relationship with uh China and Beijing what do you think it's going to be a what a four or five day uh conference in San Francisco I really wonder where there's enough time to discuss and at least um look at options for solutions uh especially between the US and China um and I actually have my doubt about it one thing one thing of concern though and maybe you can look back in your mind to what happened in 2011 is that this is uh you know economic cooperation it's not raw meat news like a war um or a provocation in the south China city it's economic cooperation APEC is not generally known and the the people of this country don't necessarily follow it and the press doesn't necessarily cover it um I wonder how much the press covered it in 2011 whether it covered it to your satisfaction and um Brian Schatz was actively involved on behalf of the state of Hawaii at that time I wonder if it covered it to his satisfaction and I wonder if you have any expectations on whether the press will be in San Francisco and whether the press will cover all these various issues um you know and contentions and options that should be discussed at this conference will the press be there what are your expectations about it oh yeah definitely there'll be a lot of international press news media you'd be surprised with Asia Pacific they'll be in the uh highlights and uh they'll be talking about it it's just that we need to promote that and uh move forward I remember when Brian Schatz was a lieutenant governor because uh uh became a uh US senator uh when Neil Abercombe and I took over that after that for the past 10 years so I kind of enhanced APEC Hawaii and what we stand for so globally they recognize Hawaii and they recognize us uh and we play a major contributing role to bring in peace security economic you know you say that but and indeed in 2011 Hawaii was there because APEC was happening at the convention center as I recall and there was a lot of um you know questions about security and uh and uh and trying to get people to understand this was a special situation a special international situation but now this summit is in San Francisco and you know you suggest that Hawaii has a role but what is Hawaii's role when the summit is in San Francisco what do you expect Hawaii is going to contribute or learn or influence this group I'm glad you mentioned that Jay uh in terms of not only academics and business we have our uh our Hawaiian culture we have our Hokulea Lobo Tur matter of fact in Seattle when I was there I was trying to hope uh promoting Hokulea is going to make this indigenous uh Lobo Tur with the uh Hawaiians and the Pacific Islanders so what we wanted to do was unite all the indigenous people from the Alaska Native Americans all the way down the coast of uh South America through the Incas and the Brazilians all the run down to the uh uh people that's so what what Hokulea's mission is uh bringing all the people together from their home country who are indigenous people and they're the backbone of those countries and uh they can share their knowledge they can share their environment their wisdom what sustainability is all about living off the earth and the land and uh then their culture exchange that is a big thing and next year's can be Peru did you know the proves they got the Incas there and the history oh the manning hood of South America so I think the hope the Hokulea truth is going to have a blast what about what about climate change can we offer them anything about our work on climate change oh yeah definitely you were still the we're the leaders in terms of uh Paris Agreement you know we came up the first uh green energy plan that we're going to be sustainability energy fossil fruit free by year 2020 45 and when Governor E. Gay was David E. Gay was a governor we signed a proclamation on that no is there anybody is there anybody from Hawaii who is going to go to San Francisco and present on climate change I'm not sure I'm not sure on that one who's going to be the one but uh I know that John Kerry our former Secretary of State is uh carrying the torch and uh making sure that we are sustainability you know overall with uh uh we're meeting the Paris Agreement hopefully we're trying to be a leader with the sensibility with energy free and kind of with the alternative energy source and all above okay we're out of time we're out of time Russell let me offer you one minute to summarize and leave whatever message you want to leave with our viewers take one minute well to the viewers I think that's economic summoning in San Francisco not only plays only the regional in terms of west coast or in Asia but I think it affects globally in terms of geopolitically what's happening with Ukraine with the supply chain issues with Russia invasion what's happening with Israel with Hamas and the terrorist group what's now we're getting all the other Palestinians and other terrorist groups that's kind of being backed by Syria Iran and human human just came up with the Kutini uh back with the Syrian war and Syria has that uh uh not besides Hamas they have different kind of terrorist groups that's coming up so uh it doesn't look good and I hope that in terms of Jewish people in Israel we support them because they think it's going to be a holy war they're the backbone of the Christianity or with Jerusalem and all that so uh I can see what Yahoo was mentioning when he summoned all the ambassadors there and told them that this is the holy war for the to the for the west end of the free democracy so I hope that doesn't escalate to Asia and uh affects the uh economic situation so maybe Charny can somehow work with uh situation and I'll tell Vladimir Putin to uh kind of you know detone and defuse some of these aggressions we got to go Russell uh thank you very very much really appreciate you coming on I I I hope the um this summit is successful thank you very much and uh I'll do this alone Aloha


Reactions to the arrest of Aziz Orojov began to be made in the world media. Azerbaijan's pro-government media has been ramping up, its anti-U.S. rhetoric and the government is publicly musing about banning the activities of U.S. aid, the U.S. government's international development arm. This was stated by Eurasia media outlet. It is noted that a campaign against supposed U.S. spies continued with the arrest of a fourth media manager in a week's time. Eurasia recalls that on November the 27th police arrested the chief of canal 13 internet television Aziz Orojov and searched his house. A criminal case was launched against him on charges of illegal construction. He was placed in pre-trial detention for three months. A photo of Orojov saying goodbye to his young daughter during his arrest went viral on social media. It's not a photo of the day, it's a photo of the era. It symbolizes President Ilham Aliyev's policy to make us more like Central Asia. Opposition leader Ali Karimli wrote on Facebook, it wasn't Orojov's first arrest. He was jailed in 2017 on charges of illegal entrepreneurship and abuse of power and released on probation a year later. Orojov's arrest follows those of the senior management of the investigative news outlet, Abzaz Media. Director Ulvi Hassanli, editor-in-chief Sevinj Vagifgizi and deputy director Mohamed Kekalov were charged with smuggling after law enforcement claimed to have recovered 40,000 euros of cash at Abzaz's office in Baku. Each of the three were given pre-trial detention terms of roughly four months.
