Episodes

Why men are hesitant to marry women with children 02.11.2020

Today, 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 ho...

The election is around the corner and it's a complete mess for black people 01.11.2020

As 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 31.10.2020

I 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 co...

Why you should never waste time arguing with dumb ass people 31.10.2020

I 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 vide...

The stock market decline continues - worst week since March 30.10.2020

In 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.  If you'd like to join my course on Stock Market Investing, please visit TheBlackStockMarketProgram.com.  The first month is $...

Lil Wayne meets with Donald Trump, but he's no Ice Cube 30.10.2020

Lil 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 29.10.2020

Campaign 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 29.10.2020

The 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...

Will the stock market keep dropping or is there hope on the horizon? 28.10.2020

Dr Boyce Watkins speaks with students about the recent stock market decline and makes predictions about what will happen in the near future. 

Are you getting left behind in the great economic revolution? 27.10.2020

Many millions of people are missing out on trillions of dollars in well that’s being created by those who are able to think outside the box.

Fake success vs real success - why most people want it but never have it 26.10.2020

Many 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 26.10.2020

I 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 Th...

Bad News this week for stocks - The Dr Boyce Watkins Black Stock Market Report 26.10.2020

The stock market is expected to drop tomorrow due to a surge in Coronavirus cases.   US equity market futures are down right now, and the stock market appears poised to manage some degree of uncertainty as a result of the rise in cases.   You can follow The Black Stock Market Report with Dr Boyce Watkins by making sure you subscribe at TheBlackFinancialChannel.com.  You ca...

Rappers TI and Young Jeezy do a Verzuz - let's talk about Trapanomics and White Supremacy 25.10.2020

Dr 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 o...

50 Cent says he will leave the country if Trump is not re-elected 23.10.2020

The 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 22.10.2020

You 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? 22.10.2020

Since 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 "cancele...

Diddy has a new black political party - but I'm very concerned 19.10.2020

I 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? 19.10.2020

This 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 peop...

Willie D and Dr Boyce ask why Ice Cube's advocacy for black people has run into such disdain 18.10.2020

I 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...

Democrats are angry at Ice Cube for speaking with Donald Trump 15.10.2020

Do 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 12.10.2020

In 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 ar...

My friend called me stupid for my political beliefs and that makes me sad 12.10.2020

I 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 Democrati...

How major corporations like McDonalds and Chipotle made money during the pandemic, while small businesses just died 11.10.2020

Take 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 pa...

Joe Biden, Drugs and black people 10.10.2020

Why was Joe Biden’s son never locked up for drug use?
