Black America built a peace time identity. Jay Z & Usher touring on OLD music during the Iran War.

[00:00:03]Welcome to Tone Talks. Welcome to Tone Talks. Welcome to Tone Talks.

[00:00:11]How's everybody doing today? This is attorney Antonio Moore coming to you from Tone Talks. I want to have a discussion today about basically I believe that Americans at large, but black Americans being a hyperexaggerated version of America because we don't have a counter country.

[00:00:26][snorts] We basically now have created such a identity that it's a peacetime identity and we're the poorest people in the country by wealth and we're not gonna get into that and at and nauseium we've talked about seem very confused about the wealth level of other black folks even when their whole families are poor because they don't really know their families don't have money they just know that they borrow things cars and homes and everything else but in reality the data shows that the middle black families across this country have nearly no liquid wealth.

[00:00:59]But moving beyond that, what we've created is an identity not only that erases that erases lineage, is basically naive to so many different factors. It's also an identity that thrives on celebration and peace time.

[00:01:18]So, my concept basically is to say that I believe that this identity and shout out to everybody in the chat that's out here um to show this. We're going to get into this conversation.

[00:01:32]I believe this identity is a peacetime identity.

[00:01:40]This [ __ ] American descended slavery, black American, African-American, however you want to frame it, identity is basically an identity that thrives not only on peace time, but also on nostalgia.

[00:01:52]So, while there's a war going on that affects energy, not just a war in the Middle East like we saw with the uh Iraq war some years ago, the straight of Hormuz control 20% of the oil. That oil is how we get our plastics, our fertilizer, our gas, our diesel.

[00:02:08]Many of you have decided that you're not going to know about that. You're going to know about it in pieces partially because you'll say because I don't I don't know if I can affect it. Another part is you built your whole identity on not knowing stuff.

[00:02:23]But you do know that the Jay-Z concert is in LA and it's wherever it was before that. And you do know that Usher and Chris Brown are performing. A lot of these songs these people are performing are from 25 years ago.

[00:02:36]One of the greatest tricks that America has played on Americans at large, but again, black Americans in particular is you can't tell time anymore.

[00:02:45]25 years ago is not popular culture is legacy acts. And legacy acts perform great music, not just pop music. And a lot of this is just pop music. It's like in sync.

[00:02:57]You can have your own opinion. I'm just telling you to Let's get to it.

[00:03:03]I'm not here to celebrate nobody. I'm here to talk the truth again.

[00:03:08]Jay-Z is performing Yankee Stadium in Los Angeles and somewhere else. And then Usher and Chris Brown. Usher did his own thing from 25 music. And then now Chris Brown and him doing a concert. And you got folk that might not have a dollar to spend and a pot to piss in using their last not just money but awareness on this nonsense from a decades ago. If I don't know craze, that's craze. Remember when I gave Iran 10 days to make a deal or open up the straight moose? Time is running out. Let's get Usher and Chris Brown out there because we can't have them talking about this.

[00:03:45]Let's run them out there. Jay-Z, is he getting his hair done?

[00:03:50]So I said this I said this about two shows back. I really believe that Instagram and Tik Tok are structurally damaging social media. Social media at large has a major problem. But I believe you can actually curate your algorithm on Twitter X on Substack to have a very high level algorithm with economists, professors and the like where you talk about Brent crude where you talk about grown things like inflation. When I say grown things, when you're in your 40s, you're not supposed to be talking about what kind of hairstyle this 60-year-old man has and how this lady is doing has his hair pulled out, it doesn't make any sense for you to talk about that. And you'll see the consequence soon enough.

[00:04:31]It's going to get really bad for black folk. Not evolved enough socially.

[00:04:35]And so I come back to look at tell me the difference between this man and Orcco.

[00:04:41]He look just like Orcco the wizard to me in this.

[00:04:46]Beyonce gives fans an inside look at Jay-Z's hair transformation. So, while on on Twitter X they're talking about inflation inflation, they're talking about Brent crude prices, they're talking about the war on Iran, they're talking about the straight of hormone, they're talking about bombings happening there, they're talking about grown adult things. We're we're dealing with concerts from 25-year-old music.

[00:05:13]Jay-Z at Yankee Stadium. Kaepernick freestyle misses the mark. NFL didn't silence him.

[00:05:20]Don't get me wrong, the whole aspect of how awful this man is is part of it.

[00:05:24]He's a he's a very old high school uh dropout drug dealer guy that is immoral in ways in my view and uses that against black progress in different ways and has shown up from the anklets to the Uber to everything.

[00:05:42]But he also becomes an outlet for many of you guys for the worst versions of yourself and you don't even know it. But then what we focus on is just how he's dealing with Kaepernick. But we don't focus on the reality of why is he here.

[00:05:57]I just want to talk.

[00:06:01]Somebody said they're going to see Earth, Wind, and Fire and Lo Richry.

[00:06:06]I'm going to get into it later and talk about 2002 and ask you a question about O2 and go back 24 years. 24 years matters because the blueprint 2 comes out what? 24 years ago.

[00:06:20]But we are celebrating it like it's popular culture, not like it's a legacy act. Okay. Because 24 years going back from O2, you get to about 78 and that is when Earth, Wind, and Fire was out. But in O2, no one was going to Yankee Stadium that was 27, that was 29, that was 33 years old to see Earthwind and Fire perform. It was for your mama and your grandmama. There was a a sense of time that got lost because of what I call the tele what not what I call the telecommunications act, which we'll get into in a second, which has created and programmed a whole generation to not even understand time.

[00:06:58]But nonetheless, we gonna focus on the Kaepernick and whether he he has spoken up for black folks, but we not going to deal with the question that asked why is he here?

[00:07:10]This is not a guy who sings well, dances well, plays an instrument well. He's just a old guy doing popular culture music from 25 years ago.

[00:07:24]I just want to talk today.

[00:07:27]So, while on X we talking about Brent crude, we're talking about fertilizer, we're talking about the impacts of of diesel, we're talking about inflation, on Instagram, you guys are talking about the spin that challenge and Beyonce and hair and Jay-Z's hairstyle.

[00:07:44]You tell me what's the difference between this and this.

[00:07:48]Look the same to me. Again, the context of this show is to say that black Americans, more than any other subgroup in America, have built a peace time identity during a massive amount of catastrophe that's on the horizon because of an actual war that's going on tonight.

[00:08:09]For those people that say, "What am I supposed to do?" You're supposed to know about it. That's what comes with you having a family. You got to pay for the [ __ ] You got to How do I pay?

[00:08:16]You got to pay by knowing and planning.

[00:08:18]I mean, didn't nobody tell you. Nobody raised you, right?

[00:08:22]Let's get right into the discussion because you ain't got time to plan. You got you got to get all the dates right for the uh concert. When you got to figure out which one you can go to, which two or three of these you can go to and got canned the first.

[00:08:35]So, you got no cans and you got time to plan that. Let me let me go. Let me I'm jumping around a bit, but I want everybody to understand the insanity we're in right now. The moment we're in because I want to talk about this because in February of 2020, I did a show on Corona virus and more importantly, I talked about shortages of supplies that was going to happen. This is a full month and a half before the shortages on the shelves showed up. I told people that some of them might be in this chat and please speak up if you're in this chat that you need to get toilet tissue that let's just start with toilet tissue.

[00:09:20]People were in my chat and were confused because they had never experienced a shortage of toilet tissue.

[00:09:26]A month and a half later, there were shortages of toilet tissue on the shelves. I'm likening what I'm telling you now to that, but many fold over in terms of the potential impacts of what we're seeing in the straight of her moves. But you over there watching the concert. So I say it in February, probably like the first week of February. In May, March 11, we have the great toilet paper scare.

[00:09:52]Come on.

[00:09:56]I want to get into this because we are stuck in a time machine where 25 year old music is being pushed on us as part of a socialization and a programming to keep us not only confused but immature and naive and lost.

[00:10:18]You back to the future.

[00:10:21]I'm jumping around a bit, but to contextualize this, I want everybody to understand that that in 92 MC Hammer's at his height. In the chat, how many people remember 1992 when MC Hammer was at his height?

[00:10:40]It says in '92 MC Hammer was riding high. He was gone by 96, not by accident.

[00:10:48]So MC Hammer had four years and he's done.

[00:10:52]And you don't ask yourself how Jay-Z and Diddy and Dr. Dre and all these people that came about and around the same time are still here.

[00:11:04]The Blueprint 2 was released in November of 2002. That is 24 years ago.

[00:11:14]That's like Mottown time.

[00:11:16]Let me explain contextually in O2.

[00:11:21]If you went back about the same amount of time you get to Dolomite, if Dolomite was doing a concert in in in the stadium, Yankee Stadium, was nobody young trying to go see him and didn't nobody really know who he was. And also, he was old. He was considered old. He was considered past his time. I'm dumbing this down because I don't think we contextualize what 24 years means because we stuck in Back to the Future.

[00:11:52]So the peacetime identity isn't just about peace time during our time. It's a boomer hook peace time from somebody else's time in 1980.

[00:12:02]You don't even have the luxury to be who you are, but you are that person and you gonna have that hat on and you gonna do this and you g but the bills are not paid at the house. And you ain't got candle first. You ain't got the lantern, the light. You don't have a You don't even have a weapon. You have nothing planned.

[00:12:20]And there's a war ahead. Can we talk today?

[00:12:26]Asking yourself, what's the difference between this and this? [snorts] They the same.

[00:12:34]The moment you can realize that this and this are the same is the moment that you realize they are hustling you.

[00:12:42]I just want to talk today. 310388 3499 people saying I remember hammer time.

[00:12:52]Yeah, he had about three years. That's what you get. There's no reason for Jay-Z to be here right now.

[00:12:58]Other than the fact that they need you to remember him because what happened in 97? See, for people that have watched my shows, they already know this, but I kind of got to jump around and give this as a lesson. the Telecommunications Act of 96 sits in in 97. What that allows for is we go from lo um local ownership of black radio of radio nationally by because you can only own three stations stand the man on Martin as an example just I use him because he's a visual and as a result our night radio was talk radio where we talked about the community it wasn't just non-stop like music it's a reason you like Tupac still it isn't that just Tupac was a great great artist 96 what happened is that moment The conglomerates came in, bought the radio and gave you the nonsense that programmed your n mind for the next 25 years. Now you owe and you touching back to that thinking it was great when actually they just told you it was good.

[00:14:00]Just think about it all the artists you want and and think about 1996. Why are they all from the same why are they all tied to the same conglomerates? Come on, man. So now they going to feed you these same artists.

[00:14:14]Can we get to it? In the middle of calamity so you don't deal with what is the consequence of not getting prepared for shortages?

[00:14:23]What is the consequence of not knowing about a war that's going on in Iran?

[00:14:27]What is the consequence of not understanding what comes out of a a whole barrel of oil, fertilizer, diesel, prochemicals? We'll get into it again.

[00:14:39]It's okay though.

[00:14:41]They got lines for people who need toilet tissue and ain't nothing. Y'all was Some of y'all was in that line because you ain't listened. But you knew how to get to the Jay-Z concert and watch this man, this old high school dropout drug dealer man perform these songs from 24 years ago.

[00:14:58]What he I don't have a hat on today to do the what he do again. What is the difference between this today and this in O2?

[00:15:13]In 2002, you couldn't tell nobody that was cool, that was young, that they want to watch this. It was for old people that were aged.

[00:15:23]But somehow y'all think this is relevant popular culture today.

[00:15:28]Can I talk?

[00:15:32]Can I get to it?

[00:15:35]I ain't gonna keep y'all too long. I'm just gonna get into the show again. Orco He-Man. Only reason I got that because that's what he looked like. I I said it on the other show, but I couldn't. Look, he ain't got no neck.

[00:15:47]This is the worst. This is the craziest.

[00:15:50]And I really did it just to expose.

[00:15:52]Maybe a lot of y'all, you know, I use Instagram in in moderation. I said this in the sh. I don't keep the app. I use just the browser because the app is I believe very problematic and and it it programs you for very much short form video that is not high level not high level thinking and as a result it stunts your mind in terms of thinking whereas I think on X and particularly on Substack you get longer form messages you get higher level content you get graphs you get charts but you got to want to be grown to do that I mean the star study Yankee Stadium show Jay-Z ticket selling ass. Look at this.

[00:16:30]Look at this. A bunch of people with knee problems and been gay in their purse. A bunch of A bunch of uh people that got high blood pressure and New York hats.

[00:16:50]Can we talk?

[00:16:54]Can we talk?

[00:16:56]trying to go back to high school.

[00:16:59]They gonna give you that time machine after star studded Yankee Stadium shows.

[00:17:04]Jay-Z tickets selling fast. Jay-Z brings out Rihanna and Beyonce after delayed start at Yankee Stadium.

[00:17:11]Usher and Chris Brown R&B tour dates.

[00:17:14]Denver, Minneapolis, Charlotte, Tampa, Los Angeles, Vegas.

[00:17:25]Oh my god, it's finally happening. Usher and Chris Brown have officially dropped the dates for the R&B Raymond and Brown tour. Let me read this again. Remember when I gave Iran 10 days to make a deal or open up the Herm Straight? Time is running out. 48 hours before all hell would rain down on them.

[00:17:45]So you know about one thing, you don't know about the other thing, but you don't understand that the other thing, the straight is what you really need to know about as a grown person. Then you don't even know that the Telecommunication Act of 96 signed by Bill Clinton led to ownership of radio by Clear Channel and Viacom. Those companies like the Hunger Games came in, bought up all the radio, gave you about 10 artists, and them 10 artists was sampling other artists that really play instruments. Then them artists sat with you for 25 years, left you in a time machine, and you don't know that you don't stuck in Back to the Future.

[00:18:20]Little pop music.

[00:18:28]Yeah, I don't hear people listening to Jay-Z music. Then why is it in a stadium? Yeah, that's not what it's supposed to be a legacy act. The geriatrical crew. Come on. Golden Girls.

[00:18:40]Let me show you these damn Golden Girls again. Golden Girls was like 52, man.

[00:18:45]53. They was They was 53, 54. That's This the Golden Girls. They just got New York hats on.

[00:18:54]Ain't nothing wrong, Tone. As long as you got your cans on in order. Not just your cans. Your cans in order. Long as you got your water. I'm talking about water for months. I'm not talking about water for days. As long as you got your toilet paper, toilet paper for months, not toilet paper for weeks. As long as you got your house in order. As long as you got a plan for emergencies. As long as you got a radio plan. If the if the if the network went down, as long as you have done the work to have your bullets and your guns, as long as you understand how to how the how the straight has changed in the last week as the memorandum of understanding uh closed down, as long as you have read the memorandum of understanding that was signed by the Iran and the US, the one that I read to you, as long as you have decided to be 40ome instead of 20ome, Yeah, that's why they got to do all the Instagram stuff and and show you his hair and all that. You're right.

[00:19:52]Nobody's checking on him, but they going to push it down your throat.

[00:19:58]The Telecommunication Act of 1996 killed local radio 26 years ago. This is in 2022. President Bill Clinton signed the Telecommunication Act of 96, a landmark hall of overhaul of telecommunications law that completely changed the landscape of broadcast in the US. Build as a way to allow any business to compete in the communication sphere.

[00:20:16]Some of the most damaging provisions instead drove many small broadcasters out of the market. So, it used to be that black people own radio in regional areas. As a result, you got turnover of artists and you didn't get these horrible people that basically suffocate the race for their own advantages. So, we're not talking about a Kaepernick thing. We're not talking about a NFL thing. We're talking about a role in a position that Jay-Z plays in this structure that Usher plays in this structure.

[00:20:46]So, you can't tell me nothing about Black Uplift, then go to the Jay-Z concert, then come back to me talking about why we not doing well because of you. It's old ass music by this man that's a dropout, a high school dropout and a drug dealer. What is we talking about? This Dolomite character. That's what he is now. He's Dolomite. Let me show it one more time just to be clear so everybody understands what the point I'm making is. They gave us the Telecom Act in 97 96 November 97. They gave us about five people and those five people are still here. When I say they, I'm talking about the conglomerates and the government. Those five people were given orders to keep us in a certain structural position.

[00:21:30]There's a reason that this music from 24 years ago is still being pushed as though it's popular culture from a guy that can't sing, can't dance, can't play an instrument.

[00:21:41]That didn't he his greatest tool is roughly the English language. He dropped out of high school.

[00:21:48]Come on, bro.

[00:21:51]Doite in O2 with about the same amount of time as Jay-Z is today. But wasn't nobody checking on Dolomite? What's the difference?

[00:22:04]If Earth, Wind, and Fire was performing in O2, it was for older people. It wasn't It wasn't popular culture for the moment. They might get a smaller venue.

[00:22:11]They would Come on, bro.

[00:22:14]It wasn't this craziness. They got to give us anything to get us distracted.

[00:22:18]Ain't no NFL, ain't no NBA. Get them talking.

[00:22:23][sighs] I'm just here to talk about it because you know they said academic ran off his answer. Who done got to him? They talked about Charlemagne. Charlemagne supposed to be tied up in the rock. I told y'all about Charlamagne a long time ago.

[00:22:42]But y'all sitting up here, y'all going to be at the concert. How many of y'all got tickets with your mama? So you, your mama, and your grandma at the concert.

[00:22:48]There ain't nobody had a conver conversation about the straight her moves and the plastics, the prochemicals, the fertilizer. But y'all know these lyrics out here like Golden Girls with New York hats.

[00:23:03]I'mma bring the bag. Just popping in today. Signed into law by Bill Clinton on February 8th, 1996, the Telecommunication Act was the first major overhaul of US communications law in over 60 years. Its primary goal was to deregulate the market to encourage competition. It did not encourage competition. It created monopolies because all of a sudden you can own just before the telecommunications act, each company could only own three radio stations. So we had control of our neighborhoods messaging and as a result we got complete people. There's a reason that those families are better than these families. Let me say it again.

[00:23:37]There's a reason that the black families in the 60s is better than the black families in the 20s cuz these people is programmed.

[00:23:44]You can't even find a man or a woman because all they want to do is do this Jay-Z stuff and talk about uh uh uh owning all the property in the world or all they want to do is be capitalist with no money. Come on, man. They built bad people on purpose and you wonder why your life hard. You trying to teach somebody that don't know how to learn read socialization or community.

[00:24:10]It allowed local telephone companies, long-distance carriers, and cable providers to enter each other's markets, breaking down uh let me read some more of this. Contrary to the stated intentions allow more businesses to operate in the communication space, the actual result of the act was a flurry of mergers and acquisitions as corporate media giants bought out small local broadcasters. What did I just tell y'all? Small local black broadcasters.

[00:24:35]And all we got was Tupac and Biggie over and over again. I don't want to hear it no more. How great they was.

[00:24:43]That was a 30 years 25 years ago. I don't want to hear it no more. If it's playing while you driving down the street or you at a venue, I'm not saying you should say turn it off. I'm saying to you today, it's a new day.

[00:24:57]Can I get to it?

[00:25:01]I just want to talk because I'mma say what nobody else want to say. Everybody else just talking about the Kaepernick and whether he stood up for Kappa. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about how he got here. This mediocre man. I'm talking about how this old insync pop culture that that that we seeing with this should have been let go alone. This Chris Brown is it's let it go. It's a long time ago.

[00:25:26]But it's okay though. Y'all don't got to hear me now. You'll hear me soon.

[00:25:31]Buckle up. Buckle up. We'll get to it.

[00:25:36]So again, MC Hammer's here in 92. He's gone by 96, right? When the tail gone four years, that's it. That's a normal like span. Got your run. It's not normal span to be here 25 years.

[00:25:48]People will say, "What about MC Jagger and they talk about a lot of white people." First of all, InSync ain't here. Backstreet Boys ain't here. All that is is considered [ __ ] uh uh uh little pop stuff that's for the craziest parts of white folks that are considered quote unquote white trash.

[00:26:05]But black folks, we done made that the whole [ __ ] black race.

[00:26:12]Can I talk?

[00:26:15]Can I just get to it today? Can I just talk a little bit about what's going on?

[00:26:20]Why it got here? Just so you understand, you in the Hunger Games.

[00:26:24]You was born into it.

[00:26:27]Same.

[00:26:29]But while that's happening, we have remember when I gave Iran 10 days to make a deal or open up the straight of her moves. Time is running out. 40 hours before all hell will rain down. So right now there's bombs dropping. The straight of her moves, the passageway, we we talked about it at Nauseium here on this channel. I don't know how many of you have even watched the show on it. Um it control 20% of the oil. And oil isn't just about gas in the car. It's about fertilizer, prochemicals, the asphalt under your roads. It's about everything.

[00:27:04]You don't have the luxury not to know this is going on and to really be toned tuned in to the specific impact it has on everything from inflation to your life, but you think you do. Straight to her moves crisis. This is from plastics today. Before I just showed this on this on this website on this uh show today, how many people had ever heard of plastics today?

[00:27:32]The website community for plastic professionals straight up herm's crisis reignites plastic industry concerns. President Donald Trump reverses transit fee plan but warns of escalating military action leaving plastics manufacturers uncertain about feed stock price stability and supply chains. Can we talk today?

[00:27:55]Can I just get to it? I want to zoom this in. The plastics industry faces renewal uncertainty as oil prices climbed to their highest level in a month this week driven by escalating hostilities between the US and Iran that threatened to destabilize the critical straight of Hermu shipping corridor. Once again, let's go back to the top before I finish. So, y'all don't know nothing about that, but you know the dates for the Jay-Z thing, and you know the dates for the Usher thing, and you talk to your friends about how good it was, and how Usher looked old, or how Jay-Z's hair is wrong, or how he didn't bring out this artist, and how he was late, or how we like Toys R Us kids.

[00:28:41]Or you talk about the Kaepernick effect, but you don't understand this is bigger than the Kaepernick effect. It's a question of why is this man here?

[00:28:50]When did he get here? What door did he come through? He didn't come through a musical door. He came through a policy door. And that policy door was the Telekom Act of 96. And the whole purpose of what happened or let me say the the outgrowth of what happened because of the telek act is we lost black talk radio where we talked about community and we got Tupac, Biggie and Jay-Z again and again and again for 25 years. They were socialized at a base level to be a reproduction, a copy of this nonsense.

[00:29:28]I don't know why he don't want to read I'm not trying to hold you too long. I hate to keep it going. But I'm just saying to you, the bag is the bag, bro.

[00:29:48]Everybody out here struggling with this.

[00:29:49]3103 at83499 if you want to talk about it because you went to the concert. I know a lot of y'all probably tried to get them tickets or whatever, you know, whatever celebration you need to go back to the future.

[00:30:06]What does it say? Jay-Z has added solo concerts for 2026 in London, Paris, and Los Angeles with tickets starting at $85. Let me tell you this. When it say tickets start at $85, that should tell you this ain't right for London, Paris, and Los Angeles. But then he got to bring out Beyonce because Beyonce is the real draw because if you just said Jay-Z, it'll tell you you need to be performing at the Mavericks flat in the Ebell.

[00:30:36]And then you create scarcity in the number of of showings. So you only do three. So you do three and then it creates this idea that those three is just craziness. No, make it like a 100 and then let's see 100 on 100 and then let's see make it make it a full tour.

[00:30:53]Let's see how many empty seats you get.

[00:30:54]Blue dot the blue dot fever we talked about like checking on Jay-Z, bro.

[00:31:05]I'm talking about it like nobody else you know has been talking about it. I'm not for none of it.

[00:31:14]The plastics industry faces renewed uncertainty as oil prices climb to their highest level in a month this week driven by escalating hostility between US and Iran. The threat to destabilize critical the critical straight of Hormuz shipping corridor once again. In the chat, how many people are having a conversation? I'm gonna start off by saying once a week that's 10 to 30 minutes with their family about the straight of Hormuz. Please raise your hands in the chat. Everybody can see your comment.

[00:31:46]Please say whether you are talking to your husband, your wife, your children once a week for 10 to 30 minutes about the straight of her moves and the oil.

[00:31:56]Brent crew, the primary inter international benchmark surged as much as 3.8% on Tuesday, extending a 9.6% gain from the previous day. I tried. They don't want to hear it. I try, but they won't listen. No one wants to talk to me about it. Nope.

[00:32:16]All right. So, that's where we're at.

[00:32:20]Brent crude stood at $85 per barrel, marking a significant increase that has plastic manufacturers bracing for a potential supply chain disruptions and elevated feed stock costs. Does everybody know what a plastic supply chain disruption looks like? Let me explain. A plastic supply chain disruption.

[00:32:41]What it looks like is all of a sudden water is not available in the bottles that you get the water in.

[00:32:51]All of a sudden soap that was body wash and dish soap that was on the shelf is no longer on the shelf. All of a sudden, body wash dish so shelf that was on the shelf and was one price is now 20% 15% higher because of the packaging.

[00:33:14]I try but nobody wants to hear it. I try but it falls on deaf ears. Tone, you said it best. The decadent veil is unraveling.

[00:33:25]Everyone else can't deal most of the time. These are just the comments, bro.

[00:33:32][sighs] The market instability intensified when President Donald Trump announced on true social platform earlier this week that the US would then reimpose it blockade of Iranian ports and begin charging vessels transit fees as the guardian of the strategic waterway. The announcement shock waves through the global commodities market, particularly affecting industries dependent on stable prochemical supplies, the things that make plastics. How many people knew that prochemicals made plastics?

[00:33:56]Do you know the components that make up your life?

[00:34:02]You know every lyric from the the the the blueprint too from 24 years ago like it ain't dolomite but you didn't know what a prochemical was.

[00:34:17]If I ask you, have you heard about the straight of her moves? I don't want to hear what is that or how did you learn about it?

[00:34:27]We are so dumb.

[00:34:29]So why are you talking to us? Oh, so you not dumb after, but you listening and watching the show so that you know after about plastics today community for plastic professionals.

[00:34:55]I just need to see it. A lot of people struggling. It's okay.

[00:35:01]Oh man.

[00:35:05]Dumb is a choice. Yeah. particularly in the Google internet era. Iran war escalation, supply chain disruption, failed peace talks, breakdown of diplomacy, escalation of conflict, straight of her horm blockade, shipping delays and rerouting, chokepoint congestion, oil supply shock, prices go up $100 or more, surging oil prices, energy cost spike, global trade bottlenecks, vessel delays, supply chain slowdown, manufacturing disruptions, material shortages, production halts, agriculture and food crisis, fertilizer scarcity, rising food costs, inflation and economic risk, soaring inflation.

[00:35:41]Recession warning, logistics challenges, high shipping rates, insurance spikes, sourcing strate uh strategy shift, diversify suppliers, focus on resilience.

[00:35:52]Huh? So the context of the show is to say we at large have a peacetime identity from 25 years ago and we living like this ain't dolomite. All of this, it's really dolomite. It's the same as dolomite in O2. Let me say that it is a product of policy, the Telecommunication Act, not great art.

[00:36:15]It's okay. It's a little bop music and if it's on and you at a day party, that's fine. I'm not telling you not to vibe to it. But what I am saying is don't spend your $500 on it that you need for cans.

[00:36:25]It ain't nothing but a bird and a word.

[00:36:27]How about it? I'mma tell you what nobody else will tell you.

[00:36:33]I just wanted to I just want to talk today in the chat just so I I understand if I'm looking at it wrong. Do he look like Orco or not? Maybe I'm Maybe it's my eyes. Doesn't he look like Orcco the He-Man wizard gonna show me this old man with with this weird hair on top of his head. We don't even know if that's taped on with this lady holding it.

[00:37:09]I just want to talk, man. I just people I would argue that they don't love him. They love themselves. And he's a reflection of the worst parts of themselves because that's the part that they think they supposed to love because they was taught post telcom act to love the worst parts of themselves. And that's why everything going wrong.

[00:37:32]Come on.

[00:37:39]I just want I just I'm I'm not going to keep y'all too long. I know I know this is a lot to take in. I know some of y'all are Golden Girls and I I love the Golden Girls and you know y'all I just say there's a better way for y'all to get together. Go read the book uh All of God. Go read Attachment Theory together.

[00:37:57]Go do something. Go to the Getty Center together. Go to the museum. This ain't it.

[00:38:09]This ain't it.

[00:38:11]I just want to talk.

[00:38:15]People still using words from 95 and hating. Shabam. You know when you say uh let me let me say somebody said told me hating. I got got boxed but I got rid of it. But that's like saying dull my words. Shablam. Shabam. You don't know.

[00:38:31]You don't even know. You got old words, bro. You You better find you some new words from Gen Z. Go get around some Gen Z. Ain't nobody saying hating no more.

[00:38:43]I just want to talk. I Let's Let's go through this one last chart before I let you guys go, just to give you a lesson of what's going on. Iran war product shortages impact on NHS and UK health care supply chains. Escalating conflicts in the Middle East is driving up oil prices, disrupting prochemical supplies, again the things that go into plastics and other things and putting essential health care products at risk. Why the Iran war threatens health care supplies, rising oil prices, conflicts in the region is causing oil prices to surge, increasing the cost of transport and production. Petrochemical disruption.

[00:39:17]Iran is a major supplier of petrochemicals used to make plastics, polymer, and synthetic materials. When your med medicine comes, it don't come in a bag. It come in a plastic container that locks.

[00:39:33]Your grandmama's medicine comes in a plastic container that locks.

[00:39:40]Yeah. It's just like J Turkey saying hating. But I mean, you old and you going to the Jay-Z concert, knees hurting.

[00:39:47]You know how much Ben Gay was in the Jay-Z concert? You know how much Ro game and and you know the little enhancement?

[00:39:54]I don't have no enhancement. I don't have no enhancement, bro. It I was It's hot out here, so I was sweating. Ain't nothing dripping, bro.

[00:40:06]Go find other YouTubers. Ask them to do this. [laughter] I'm just saying. and product shortages, delays in reduced supply of essential medical and non-medical items items across the UK. Scarcity of raw materials and higher transport costs lead to price increases for healthc care supplies.

[00:40:26]Key let me give context again. We're talking about this in the context of the show because I'm I'm hammering down what is and what is not important. What is not important is a Jay-Z concert from music that's 25 years ago. I don't want to hear ends in Paris from 15 years ago.

[00:40:44]All of this stuff is old music that was barely okay when it even came out. It was pop music.

[00:40:52]But much of the rooting of why you thought it was great is it was bashed into your brain postcom act by the Viacom and Clear Channel and the and the record labels all tied into a conglomerate to control and mechanize and keep you from talking. What we talking about right now? The important stuff.

[00:41:12]No surgical procedures, no calf labs, no IV fluids. Just know nobody in their 50s wants to grow up.

[00:41:25]You got to be a grownup now. They in the These people are nearing in their 60s, bro.

[00:41:32]They getting there.

[00:41:36]Ain't nothing wrong with having a little fun, but right now we not in peace time.

[00:41:39]That's the whole thing. The the show is about how we build a peace time identity that can't deal with the consequence and the reality of just like just like when the toilet paper I told y'all. How many people in the chat remember when I told y'all the toilet paper was going to be scarce a month before it happened and you went out and you was like watching people in line? I'm trying to put you in that position. I got about 50 60 maybe even 70 cans in there. I got the uh butane uh uh uh stove. I showed it to you last time, so I'm not going to show it to you again. I got the emergency food. I got the AR-15. I got all of it. Like all of it. I got the the the crank the crank radio. I got two crank radios.

[00:42:22]I'm just telling you to get prepared and stop with the nonsense cuz you you past age. You like expired milk when it comes to pop culture.

[00:42:31]You the you the you the the milk that when you look at it, it says used by April 2018 and you still trying to get over there to see the concert.

[00:42:43]This is how you look at the concert. Let me show you how you look at the concert.

[00:42:46]You look like this and you want to cover USA Today.

[00:43:01]Don't none of this make sense? Key healthc care products at risk because of the straight hormones. Disposable gloves heavily relying on prochemicals such as nitro and vinyl. Syringes and IV sets made from plastic and polymers derived from prochemicals. IV bags and fluid containers. Somebody just said this.

[00:43:23]Manufactured using plastic materials and packaging. Face mask and PPE depending on depend on synthetic materials and propyline. Medication packaging. Blister packs and bottles use plastic components. Cleaning and disinfect disinfection uh products. Packaging and chemical components may be affected.

[00:43:42]That's like everything in the hospital.

[00:43:43]Golly, they going to be able to keep the hospital open. Don't be surprised if you get closures because they need the plastics and the things that are in the plastics to run the hospital or the store.

[00:43:58]Potential impacts. Delays in procedures and treatment. Shortages of essential items can lead to postponed surgeries.

[00:44:05]Increased pressure on staff. Limited supplies create more workload and stress for NHS teams. Higher costs. Rising prices impact budgets and limit spending on other critical areas. Risk to infection control, shortages of PPE. The uh and cleaning products increase the risk of healthcare associate health healthcare associated infections, patient safety concerns, inconsistent supply of essential products can affect quality of care and patient outcomes.

[00:44:32]I just wanted to come to you today and say you got a peace time identity in a war. And right now, you need to be at war with yourself and ask yourself, who built me? Why they built me this way? Do I even understand how how poorly I'm built? What do I have to do to change?

[00:44:48]How do I grow up? How do I stop being a Toys R Us kid and become a full adult?

[00:44:53]Why am I still listening to a high school dropout drug seller um and and taking him and touting his pop culture music from 25 years ago like it's the greatest thing coming? How am I still watching these pop acts performing pop lock when they can't pop lock no more?

[00:45:09]Why am I concerned with all of this and I don't have no cans? I don't have no uh lanterns. I don't have no protections.

[00:45:17]How am I this unprepared? This is Tone Talks. Please go to tone talks.net, subscribe, donate, and share. I just wanted to hit y'all today. Welcome in.
