POV: Power Walk (9.19.25)

[00:00:01] Speaker A: Good morning, Happy Friday, and welcome to the Firewalk. You know what time it is? Is this thing on? I watched a video of Joy and Reed and shout out to her. After all the adversity and her reporting being silenced and her continuing her fight independently and supported and backed by the people, she asked a really good question and it had me really thinking because I'm like, why are these people so angry? Let's go ahead and roll the clip. [00:00:48] Speaker B: Why are y' all so angry? You have the White House. You. You have both houses of Congress. You have a Supreme Court that is completely obedient to your president. They're willing to give him unlimited power. They're willing to say that he can take Seal Team 6 and kill anybody he wants. They were willing to affirm that. They're willing to say that ICE can racially profile anybody they want. The United States Supreme Court has said you can racially profile Latinos based on their accent or the way they look. You guys have everything you want. You have legal racial profiling. You've ended dei. You've ended affirmative action. You get all the best jobs, even if you're not qualified. You can be a Fox Weekend host and be the Defense Department Secretary of Defense. You can be Cash Patel and be a podcaster who wants to go to Valhalla and run the FBI. As long as you're conservative, you have everything. Why are y' all so angry? What the fuck are you angry about? You've banned all of our books. You've banned black history. You banned the 1619 project. You don't have to compete with women for jobs. You've chased them out of the military. You. You've chased them out of the senior positions in the Department of Defense. You've gotten rid of all the black history in the museums. Museums are terrified. I have contacts that I'm talking to inside of the Interior Department, people who are running all of those spaces where you can go and see a Civil War memorial or something. The people who work in these places are terrified. They're afraid to tell the real history. The people who are working for the federal government are afraid to say the word black. You guys have canceled black scholarships. You're damn near, I guess, ready to get rid of HBCUs. Donald Trump just recently said they're not gonna fund any minority serving institution. Y. Y' all have gotten rid of that. You've gotten rid of help for black kids to go to college. What more do you want? What are you so angry about? [00:02:21] Speaker A: As it relates to the state of education in the state of Florida. You see headlines all across the state of how enrollment numbers are impacting school sizes, and administrators are going to have to make the tough decisions to close schools due to the under enrollment. When you ask the government about it, they say it's the left's fault. And I'm really trying to understand that because you have the governor's mansion, you have the House and the Senate. And if we were to actually look at this. I've talked about this on one of these episodes. The Republicans, the right, have had control of Florida in all three of these areas since 1999. Since 1999, the right has had control of the governor's office, the House, and the senate. I was nine. I'm 35. Do the math. So who do we hold accountable again, for all the things that are happening? So when we have a national report card that says that we have the lowest reading scores since 1992 and the lowest math scores since 2005, who do we hold accountable for that? See, I've been saying, follow the money, follow the money, follow the money. The 1% we looking at, we're looking at the wrong 1%. We are talking about transgender folks, 1% of the population. Immigrants, 1% of the population. I can go on and on, but the 1% that has the most power, we fighting each other left and right, and we ain't looking around to see who owns all this. Hello, United Health Care Group. There's a whistleblower on TikTok who's been blowing the whistle of the things that's been happening with this insurance company, and they're currently under investigation for fraud. I'm gonna just post a clip here of what she's been saying because. Because she's being retaliated against for being a whistleblower. And these insurance companies, we need to be fighting them. And this is coming from someone who has a chronic medical condition and who's had to fight to get proper healthcare and is still actively fighting. Now, let me roll the clip. Stop. [00:05:13] Speaker C: I'm shaquoyah. I'm a healthcare whistleblower, and I need your help. I'm gonna be reading this from a script because I need to be very careful with what I say. Everything you'll hear is factual and supported by documents, emails, and employee testimonials. I want the world to know exactly what's happening. I worked for Amedicys, a home health company, now merging with UnitedHealth Group and Optum. I raised concerns about retaliation and systemic issues that were hurting both employees and patients. I emailed VPs over 30 times and no one responded. And so I went public. Once I went public, something big happened. Employees from UnitedHealth Group Optum Animedicis started coming forward with their own stories. Hundreds at first, and now thousands. And it wasn't until I revealed I had intel from a senior executive, a C suite insider, confirming the retaliation and fraud, that everything turned up. That's when the intimidation began. Cars slowly driving by my cul de sac, unknown calls at all hours. Post mass reported, accounts targeted. This isn't just about me. This is about patients waiting for wound care, IV therapy and hospital discharges, care that was delayed while employees were forced to meet impossible quotas during system outages. It's about a corporate culture rotted from the top, silencing employees who speak up. Today, this story has reached 12.7 million plays on TikTok, 2.3 million likes, and over 150,000 followers. Every single day, more employees submit testimonials. I have so many that I had to build a team just to process them. And I'm printing and submitting them directly to the Department of Justice under the Tunney act, so they cannot be buried or ignored. So here's why you should care. If they can silence me, a mother of two, with evidence, with millions of people watching, what chance do patients and employees without a platform have? This is bigger than me. And that's why I need you to keep sharing, tagging the media and flooding their social media accounts, because once the public and the regulators see it, they can't silence it anymore. [00:07:22] Speaker A: It is really important that you are intentional with what you consume. A journalist on TikTok, which is so interesting that a lot of these resources and the things that I'm talking about are on TikTok and Oracle or Oracle Child, I'm not getting into that today. But you had a journalist talk about how you have these satellite stations and how these big companies will buy these smaller networks and how some of the reporters are saying the exact same thing across the nation about topics and played a video example to show that and educated the people about how this buying process works. And ultimately the 1%, the billionaires, the folks that want to control the narrative, all the propaganda, you know, moving abroad and seeing how safe it is. When the main thing that people ask me about is is it safe? I wake up and not have to think that there's going to be gun violence. I see police cars around here, but they ain't chasing nobody. I feel safer in all of the countries that I've been in than in the United States, the propaganda folks. There's a lot of unlearning that needs to happen and I invite you to just go explore to see how other people are living. I got some amazing things coming up and so here's my public service announcement. I thank you for your support and love. So check this out. The doxing has gotten out of control, right? And there are websites that are data brokers that store your information, maybe from your voter registration card, online directories and sometimes the information is wrong, but it's published on the Internet and there are ways to opt out. There are ways to submit a form to them to request them to remove your information and by law they have to. So I'm going to go over that and teach you the main websites that are these data brokers that might have your information when you Google yourself and the opt out process and how you can take these steps to get your contact and your details off of there whether it's correct or not. And then we're going to talk about a digital audit. Some of you have so many different Gmail accounts, Yahoo accounts and if you have a yahoo account in 2025, I have more questions for you due to the number of times that Yahoo has been compromised and how that puts you at risk. But we'll talk about that later. We gotta be safe in these digital streets. So I want to help and I'm going to provide a free workshop. And for those that want to take a deep dive and have one on one time with me, you can book time on my calendar for a nominal fee and we can have that individual time and work through those things because it's really, really important. As folks are being doxed, Internet profiles are scattered everywhere and you need to know where your data is. You need to know all the different things that you have connected to. You need to know how many subscriptions you have and what the cost of things rising. People are trying to figure out things to trim and all that. I see a boycott of people canceling they Hulu and different types of subscriptions. Rock on. But also there's so many different things out here that you're probably subscribed to that you don't even know. So we're going to talk about that. Also protecting our children. We're talking about sex torsion. This has been one of the things that the FBI has been talking about and how it has been increasing and it's really, really sad. Our children are connecting with folks and they're sending inappropriate images and those images are being shared in other spaces. And sometimes children are threatened that pictures will go to certain spaces and they need to pay in order for it not to. I want to play a video here of a real situation that took place with sex torsion because I do want to amplify it and also to uplift to go to checkthecelphone.com so that you can register so that you could be a part of this free webinar that I'm hosting and having. Because parents and caregivers, you need to know what your children are doing on their devices. I've been saying this for a very long time as a business educator, a business technology educator at that. You need to be very mindful what's happening. [00:12:29] Speaker D: It turned into, well, if you don't send me more, I'm going to send these ones that you sent to me to your friend group. [00:12:35] Speaker E: A middle school student at the center of a sextortion investigation arrested and charged with three child pornography related felonies. Police say the investigation started in February after students told a school resource officer they were being coerced online. So far, a half dozen victims have come forward, but investigators believe there could be hundreds of additional victims. [00:12:55] Speaker D: There was evidence of victims throughout the world. [00:12:58] Speaker E: Throughout the world? [00:12:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:12:59] Speaker D: Not in other countries. Not just at the school. Correct. [00:13:01] Speaker E: The male victims were exchanging messages with a boy pretending to be a girl who asked for sexually explicit images. Krieger says the student demanding gift cards under $100 as payment. The police department and the school district are now planning a sextortion awareness presentation in the coming days. Investigators are urging victims and their parents parents to come forward. [00:13:23] Speaker A: So join me on check the cell phone.com and be a part of that because it's really, really important.

So it's time to tap in operating your gifts and make it happen until next time. Peace. [00:17:31] Speaker F: This ain't just a podcast.

I receive.
