What Malcolm X said about Joe Biden
November 08, 2020 23:15 - 1 hour - 62.2 MBBelieve it not, Malcolm X warned us about Joe Biden many years ago. Actually, he spoke specifically about white liberals and benign neglect in a way that was nothing short of prophetic. That's what I discuss in this conversation and that's what this discussion is all about. To learn more about The All Black National Agenda, please visit TheAllBlackAgenda.com.
Why the media hated Ice Cube, but loved Stacey Abrams
November 07, 2020 22:54 - 1 hour - 42.5 MBI speak here about Stacey Abrams and Ice Cube and the different ways they were treated in the media. Abrams was seen as a hero by media, mostly due to her work with the Democratic Party. Ice Cube, however, was seen as a villain by everyone but the Black community, who had a strong appreciation for his efforts. In light of what happened with Ice Cube and Stacey Abrams, I discuss Meritorious Manumission from Dr Claud Anderson's book, "Powernomics," and the Housee Negro-Field Negro divides ...
Why black people die from viruses more than everybody else
November 06, 2020 19:45 - 26 minutes - 15.1 MBToday I spoke with Nathaniel Jordan, aka The Minister of Wellness about viruses, vaccines and why black people are so unhealthy. We discuss the fact that there are corporate and political interests that make money from keeping the public as unhealthy as possible and how you can fight back through self empowerment.
We have thousands of black elected officials - if so, then why are we making no progress?
November 06, 2020 16:49 - 48 minutes - 33.3 MBThere are two types of black people: Those who want solutions and those who want symbolism. I am in the solutions category, as I find myself deeply disturbed that we are complaining about the very same things that Malcolm X complained about over 60 years ago. This ridiculous repetitive cycle of victimization and falling behind disturbs me enough that I want to at least create a permanent record for those who want to do something different. That's what this video is all about.
What black people can learn from China
November 06, 2020 15:13 - 1 hour - 50.2 MBChina has been booming economically, right as the rest of the world is shutting down. Why is that? It's due to a culture of economic strength, in which they continue moving forward, even in the midst of fear. But I go beyond China in this episode, talking about some of the failings of black culture and the things that you must do differently if you want to grow beyond that. The convo starts in China and we then go all around the world.
Failed politician says horrible things about black men
November 05, 2020 18:37 - 34 minutes - 23.9 MBPam Keith, a failed politician out of Florida, just said that black men who don't support Joe Biden hate black women. Let's break down Pam Keith's comments with regard to how the Democratic Party has successfully conquered the black community by creating the "White Jesus" complex among black people who now believe in failed stereotypes about black men.
Joe Biden pushes a major boost in the stock market
November 05, 2020 16:38 - 14 minutes - 9.77 MBIt appears that the closer we move to a Joe Biden presidency, the more the stock market is rejoicing. Added election certainty is good for stocks right now, as the stock market appears to be grateful that there isn't going to be a blue wave. There are other things moving the stock market this morning and I'll break them down here.

Who else is running for president besides Joe Biden and Donald Trump?
November 03, 2020 22:23 - 38 minutes - 22.2 MBAlicia and I took the time to explore the 2020 presidential election.

How politics is ruined by money - explained by a Finance PhD
November 03, 2020 21:58 - 17 minutes - 16.5 MBIn this episode of The Dr Boyce Breakdown, I explain how the American political system is horribly corrupted by money. Billionaires give money to candidates, who then give that money to corporate media to help them persuade voters to put them into office. This creates a horrible set of incentives for both the politician and corporate media. The media will serve the politicians who give them money, and the politicians then serve the billionaires. The American people are only served to th...
What a Blue Wave for the Democrats will mean for the stock market
November 03, 2020 18:41 - 13 minutes - 9.37 MBIn this episode, I talk about the impact that a Blue Wave by the Democrats will have on the stock market.

We talk about the 2020 presidential election, along with a host of other issues that relate to black people who are finding out what rights we should actually have.
The stock market is making major moves to start the week - here's what's going on
November 02, 2020 17:48 - 19 minutes - 13.4 MBThe stock market made significant jumps this morning as we move into a contested election. The election is about to create market volatility, but there are buying opportunities in the stock market.
SNL falsely states that Ice Cube endorsed Donald Trump, when he was only advocating for the black community
November 02, 2020 14:01 - 50 minutes - 46.6 MBSNL did a skit in which they falsely assumed that the rapper Ice Cube endorsed Donald Trump along with Lil Wayne. They also reduced Ice Cube's call for reparations for African Americans to him simply being a rich rapper who has forgotten his roots. This is much deeper than you think and shows the extent that white racist liberals will use propaganda and false information to try to win elections, even at the expense of the black community.
Why men are hesitant to marry women with children
November 02, 2020 01:24 - 18 minutes - 12.9 MBToday, a woman asked me about dating as a mother, so I thought I'd do an honest assessment on the topic. I wrote a book years ago called Financial Lovemaking, so I thought I'd dig into the matter and talk about some of my perspectives on love, relationships and money. I am marrying a woman with three children, so I thought I'd give an honest point of view on the topic. I hope this helps somebody out there.
The election is around the corner and it's a complete mess for black people
November 01, 2020 16:11 - 13 minutes - 9.6 MBAs we are just a couple days away from the 2020 presidential election, I decided that I would throw Dr Boyce TV into the mix. I plan to do election night coverage with a series of black experts who can allow us to dissect the many issues facing black people as we move forward in the year 2021 and beyond.
22 Reasons why the Democratic Party offends me as a black man
October 31, 2020 21:11 - 1 hour - 58.1 MBI don’t relate to The Democratic Party because: - I’m not into LGBT issues. Love who you want, but that’s your business - Abortion makes me uncomfortable because it feels like we just killed a baby and they seem to want to kill black babies the most - I don’t GAF about building a wall with Mexico, I’m not Mexican. I don’t think that closed borders makes you racist, since countries do this all around the world - I see the #MeToo movement as a threat to the safety of black men, who ca...
Why you should never waste time arguing with dumb ass people
October 31, 2020 03:00 - 17 minutes - 11.8 MBI was speaking to my daughter today about dumb people. I explained to her why you shouldn't waste too much time arguing with stupid people by using a basic mathematical formula. This led me to realize that I should probably share this advice with anyone else out there who is being slowed down or hung up by low IQ, destructive morons who have no future. That's what this video is all about.
The stock market decline continues - worst week since March
October 30, 2020 15:44 - 14 minutes - 9.87 MBIn this discussion, I break down the chaos of the stock market this week. I believe that the stock market is providing a large number of buying opportunities, but there are some nuances that every investor should consider as they choose to make their moves.

Lil Wayne meets with Donald Trump, but he's no Ice Cube
October 30, 2020 13:03 - 53 minutes - 30.6 MBLil Wayne had a meeting with President Donald Trump, which is certainly his right. But today, I spoke about black male rappers and their desire to meet with politicians of their choice. Some are hits, some are misses. Much of this speaks to the "great awakening" of the black male in American politics and proves that we have a very interesting road ahead.
Trump and Biden spent a ridiculously large amount of money this election cycle
October 29, 2020 13:21 - 13 minutes - 9.12 MBCampaign finance reform should be one of the top issues in American politics. The fact that it now costs billions of dollars to run for president should concern anyone who cares about the future of this country. You can get more video-based financial news and commentary at FinancialJuneteenthTV.com.
Trump, Biden and capitalism
October 29, 2020 02:59 - 13 minutes - 9.12 MBThe 2020 election is set to finish with $14 billion in spending, smashing records as Trump and Biden battle for the White House. The sum will be more than double of what was spent in the 2016 election. By Election Day, the presidential campaign is expected to end up seeing $6.6 billion in total spending, while congressional races are anticipated to finish with just over $7 billion. Democrats have nearly doubled the spending by Republican candidates up and down the ballot.

Fake success vs real success - why most people want it but never have it
October 26, 2020 19:35 - 25 minutes - 17.7 MBMany people want success, but don't know how to obtain it. That's what I discuss in this video. I hope it helps someone succeed.
Dr Boyce! You're a Trump supporter! - How voter suppression looks when it comes from other black people
October 26, 2020 13:58 - 1 hour - 48.3 MBI woke up this morning thinking about black voter suppression. Some think that this is something that white people do to black people, or something that Republicans only do to black Democrats. Actually, voter suppression also occurs when black people ostracize one another and talk about voting for the other political party as if it were illegal. That's what I discuss today on The Dr Boyce Breakdown. Follow me on Twitter @DrBoyceWatkins1

Rappers TI and Young Jeezy do a Verzuz - let's talk about Trapanomics and White Supremacy
October 25, 2020 14:36 - 38 minutes - 26.5 MBDr Boyce Watkins speaks today about the rappers TI and Young Jeezy doing a Verzuz episode and how this plays a part in the way the trap is monetized, mostly by white people. Not to disrespect TI and Jeezy, but this makes us wonder if black traumatic experiences are packaged and sold and why others are allowed to do it. There is also the discussion of the traps that we put ourselves in and how to get out of them.
50 Cent says he will leave the country if Trump is not re-elected
October 23, 2020 20:58 - 52 minutes - 29.9 MBThe rapper 50 Cent says he will leave the US if Trump is not re-elected. But the conversation is much deeper than 50 Cent and his bank account.
White Democrats just abstained from voting. Black voters can do that too
October 22, 2020 14:41 - 4 minutes - 3.28 MBYou constantly hear people saying that it’s wrong for black folders to abstain from voting. But political science theory supports the idea that when you don’t have appropriate options you don’t have to pick one. I speak about what freedom can insured mean for Black people and why we are 0K when white Democrats choose not to vote but we are upset when black voters choose to do the same thing
Chris Broussard and Dr Boyce Watkins ask: Why are Democrats so angry with black men?
October 22, 2020 02:36 - 1 hour - 39.2 MBSince the rapper Ice Cube approached the Democratic Party seeking better terms for black people and a form of reparations, some of the community has thrown it back in his face. While the overwhelming majority of African Americans are in support of Ice Cube, there are a few in mainstream media who seem to hold onto a narrative which states that Ice Cube is wrong and that he should be "canceled." While we don't worry about whether or not Ice Cube can be canceled, we do discuss why others ar...
Diddy has a new black political party - but I'm very concerned
October 19, 2020 17:58 - 38 minutes - 26.4 MBI spoke today about the new Black Political party started by the hip-hop mogul Diddy. The party is called "Our Black Party" and advocates for black politics. But in the age of Biden and Trump, it's hard to figure out if Diddy's black political party represents authentic black leadership or serves a a tray to deliver black voters to the Democrats.
Why do we take care of others, but not ourselves or each other?
October 19, 2020 00:22 - 48 minutes - 27.9 MBThis podcast episode centers around the weird habit of black people of taking care of everyone but themselves. We keep their political parties in power, their companies making money, their schools/universities full and ensure that others are well-fed with our $1.3 trillion in annual income. I would prefer that we stop for a moment and consider that rather than taking care of other people, we should take care of ourselves. That's what this episode is all about.
Willie D and Dr Boyce ask why Ice Cube's advocacy for black people has run into such disdain
October 18, 2020 00:20 - 1 hour - 60 MBI am utterly fascinated by how the idea of unifying around a failing political party has led to such a strong public backlash against the rapper Ice Cube for speaking on behalf of black people. You would expect that someone pushing for a radically, different approach to American politics would be welcome with open arms. But during my conversation with activist and hip-hop artist Willie D, I am convinced that FEAR can create the kind of stagnation that has kept black people from moving fo...
Democrats are angry at Ice Cube for speaking with Donald Trump
October 15, 2020 17:44 - 1 hour - 44.1 MBDo the Democrats have the right to tell Ice Cube, or any black man for that matter, that he has no right to meet with Donald Trump? Why haven't the Democrats helped the black community enough that our loyalty is earned, rather than expected? That's what I discuss in this episode. It's a doozy.
The essence of black financial addiction
October 12, 2020 15:50 - 19 minutes - 11 MBIn this discussion, I explain the keys to economic slavery, as well as economic addiction. I explain that for the black community, financial addiction is a very serious problem. It starts from birth, when we are led to depend on our oppressors to provide the things we need. We are also led to believe that financial security isn't important, but material possessions are a necessity. It is the combination of having no financial security, a need for material possessions and an establishe...
My friend called me stupid for my political beliefs and that makes me sad
October 12, 2020 00:37 - 21 minutes - 14.7 MBI had a friend that I knew when I was on the faculty at Syracuse University. I hadn't talked to this friend for years, and you can imagine my surprise when my friend called me stupid for my political beliefs. Also, the first comment he'd made toward me in years started with "This is dumb." This made me think about how we are black people are willing to lose friends over Democratic and Republican politicians who care nothing about us. This makes me sad for our community.
How major corporations like McDonalds and Chipotle made money during the pandemic, while small businesses just died
October 11, 2020 17:54 - 2 minutes - 1.49 MBTake a second to think about all the small business owners who were wiped out by the poor response to the pandemic. Now that the World Health Organization has admitted that a complete shutdown was a very bad idea, I hope we will consider the fact that it was possible to keep people safe without ruining their lives in the process. All of this was unnecessary. Our political leaders, in both parties, are doing the people a huge disservice with their incompetence: The Republicans should be a...
Joe Biden, Drugs and black people
October 10, 2020 16:50 - 6 minutes - 4.52 MBWhy was Joe Biden’s son never locked up for drug use?
What are the odds that you're going to receive a stimulus check?
October 09, 2020 22:23 - 9 minutes - 5.38 MBToday on The Black Financial Channel, I did a breakdown on the chances of receiving a stimulus check. The economic events occurring right now present a series of very interesting financial dynamics. Awareness is a key to understanding. The #StimulusCheck situation is one that is somewhat complex given that the Democrats and Republicans have different objectives. The stimulus package that Democrats are pushing for is very different from that of the Republicans. Whether a stimulus is ...
Why we believe the white man's ice is colder
October 09, 2020 00:12 - 59 minutes - 34.3 MBIn this episode of The Dr Boyce Breakdown, I talk about the fact that black people often believe that white products, white systems, white schools and white people are better than we are. What we do not realize is that this makes us direct contributors to the system of White supremacy.
The predictable unpredictability of Donald Trump - How to make money on stocks while this is happening
October 07, 2020 16:59 - 33 minutes - 46.6 MBPresident Donald Trump's decision to walk away from stimulus talks with Nancy Pelosi sent the stock market tumbling this week, but I feel that there is more to the situation than that. As expected, this morning, as Trump "changed his mind," stocks recovered and shot through the roof. There is a predictability to Trump's allegedly unpredictable nature. He's a negotiator, which means that he is going to prove consistently that he's willing to walk away from the table. So, this presents bu...
Breonna Taylor’s case wasn’t about Breonna at all
September 25, 2020 13:51 - 8 minutes - 5.63 MBI give a perspective on the Breonna Taylor case as a black man from Louisville who happens to be the son of a cop
Dr Claud Anderson gives the history of horrible black leadership
September 18, 2020 01:26 - 1 hour - 32.3 MBThe Democratic Party gets most of the votes from the black community. But Dr Claud Anderson, author of Powernomics, says that no political parthy should get the black vote without earning it. In this wide reaching interview on Dr Boyce TV, Dr Anderson breaks down black voters rights, and the history of horrible black leadership. Dr Anderson explains that bad leaders are often selected specifically to protect the status quo.
Chris Rock just said things that Democrats and Republicans need to hear
September 17, 2020 11:59 - 50 minutes - 28.9 MBComedian Chris Rock just did a wide ranging interview on The New York Times speaking about the recent pandemic, and how both political parties are destroying America. I dig into this topic and not only mention what Chris Rock spoke about, but we also talk about all the different ways that political parties manipulate the American public for their own personal gain.
Ice Cube speaks on black voting and I approve this message
September 09, 2020 02:33 - 19 minutes - 11.2 MBThe rapper Ice Cube came onto DrBoyceTV.com earlier this week with a message that left me impressed. I am accustomed to celebrities bringing a message that is weak and incoherent, demanding nothing in exchange for everything. Instead, he lays out some tangibles that separate him from other celebrities.
Cardi B and Candace Owens get into a plantation fight
September 07, 2020 16:41 - 8 minutes - 6.96 MBIn this episode I break down the battle online between Candace Owens and Cardi B. I believe the Black people should be free and we should not have to spend our time lobbying in carrying water for various political parties
Why many universities and HBCUs will be gone after the pandemic is over
August 13, 2020 23:56 - 14 minutes - 10 MBDr Boyce Watkins explains why universities are going bankrupt and why many HBCUs will be gone
