9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: This evening. I want to talk to you about Senator

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: Bernie sanders proposal for a thirty two hour work week.

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: Thirty two hour work week. Now, this was mentioned on

12
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: the Front Patient News segment. If you do not know,

13
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: I do the Front Patient News on the Breakfast Club

14
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: and we talked about the proposal that Bernie Sanders pointed

15
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: out about a third two hour work week. The key

16
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: that clearly everybody is missing are the majority of people

17
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: are missing. In my comments, I think it's almost about

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: nine hundred comments, everybody keeps saying over and over, everybody

19
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: don't need the same days off. Everybody don't need the

20
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: same days off. You can still work thirty two hours.

21
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: Some people are saying you can work ten hours a

22
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: day and still get forty hours and four days. Everybody

23
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: can rotate days. You're not going to be closed. What

24
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: are you talking about? And what I think is people

25
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: are responding to Mby's position of saying that some of

26
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 1: the businesses are gonna be closed. It's more than work

27
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: life balance. And for those who are listening to the podcast,

28
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: I am live on my Instagram when I record this

29
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: because I like to see feedback from people. So just relax, guys,

30
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: before you start chiming in with the comments. Let's unpack

31
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: this one piece at a time, shall we. Okay, Now,

32
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: I need you guys to understand what the proposal is.

33
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: The proposal is you working thirty two hours and still

34
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: being paid for forty hours. We'll get to quality of

35
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: life in a moment. Let's first deal with the proposal

36
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: because right now, what you guys are hearing is, oh,

37
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: everybody can be off on different days. This is not

38
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: about people being off on different days. Yes, business, some

39
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: businesses will have to close, but I need you to

40
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: take that out of the equation, and I need you

41
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: to understand the first part of the proposal is working

42
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: thirty two hours and being paid for forty we know

43
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: it's the benefit of working thirty two hours, Sunshine Salt worker.

44
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: What I want you, guys, the first unpack is people

45
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: being paid for forty hours and only working thirty two.

46
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: That's the part that you guys are skipping over. Now,

47
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: that's great if an employer, first, let me ask you

48
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: this put a five in the chatter. You've ever had

49
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: employees more than twenty or thirty employees? Let's first start there.

50
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: I've had three hundred. I've had three hundred. This Google

51
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 1: verifiable or Lando Business Journal gave me a woman who

52
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: mean business. In twenty twelve, I had three hundred employees.

53
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: So first, the first part of the conversation really applies

54
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: to people who have had to sign the front of

55
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: the check. And this is no shade. I'm gonna unpack

56
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: all of this. I'm gonna deal with the benefits of

57
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: people being paid more. I even have some of my

58
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: staff in the comments who I paid for things that

59
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: they don't do necessarily, I paid them for weeks that

60
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: they did not work. I'm all about that. But first

61
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: of all, we're gonna deal with the first part of

62
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: the conversation, and that only applies to the people who

63
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: have had to sign the front of the check. So

64
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: let's just deal with this. You owe me forty dollars,

65
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna tell you, just give me thirty two.

66
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: What thirty two is just like the forty. What's the

67
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: big deal? It's work life balance. It's better for my

68
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: mental health to give you thirty two. Yeah, but you

69
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 1: owe me forty though you owe me forty. And if

70
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: I borrowed forty dollars from you, I need that forty

71
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: back and in most cases, you gonna want the forty

72
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: back plus the interest. Now why do you need the interest?

73
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: Boys and girls, Well, you need the interest because while

74
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: I gave you that forty dollars, I had to rob

75
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: Peter to pay Paul. I had to get some other

76
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: shit done. And now that forty dollars has actually cost

77
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: me fifty six dollars because I loaned it to you.

78
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: Are you following me? Before y'all getting y'all emotions. I

79
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: want you to take this step by step. Let's deal

80
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: with the people to sign in front of the checks.

81
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? Put a two in the chat

82
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: If that makes sense. We're still gonna deal with all

83
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: of the other things on work life balance and how

84
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: it benefits you. But right now I'm talking to the

85
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: people who got to sign the front of the check

86
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: and I'm dealing in it. I want you to have

87
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: a very realistic the reason why I may I am

88
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: making it very realistic. If you borrow forty dollars from

89
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: me and you say, well, I'm just gonna give you

90
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: thirty two, let me just give you thirty two on GP.

91
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: It's a work life balance. It's good for my mental Well,

92
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: of course it's good for you your mental But I'm

93
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: gonna need that forty because actually that forty cost me

94
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: fifty six dollars because of the interest. Because I loaned

95
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: it to you, I still had to pay something else.

96
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: Have y'all had somebody like borrow money from you and

97
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: they think, oh, yeah, I'll give it back. But by

98
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: the time you give it back to me six months later,

99
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: I've had to use that four and five and six

100
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: times over. That's why they have something called interest. Are

101
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:27,559
Speaker 1: you following me? So, the proposal is not about work

102
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: life balance, just about work life balance. The proposal is

103
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: not everybody don't have to take off on the same day.

104
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: The proposal is not any of those things. First, the

105
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: first thing is paying people forty hours who only work

106
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: thirty two hours. Now again, if you can afford that,

107
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: if you are in an industry and can afford it,

108
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: I need y'all to stop talking about everybody don't have

109
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: to work the same day that we're not talking about that,

110
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: we're talking about basic economics. I own the staffing firm

111
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: in our landlord, I just want y'all to work with

112
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: me for a second. I owned the staffing firm that

113
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: worked in Orlando, Florida. I had to build the city

114
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: of Orlando every hour for people that worked if they

115
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: did not work. No, they ain't about just greedy capitalists.

116
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: Be quietly, Oh you've never signed in front of the

117
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: check because I'm not no damn capitalist. I'm telling you

118
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: about the three hundred people that I put to work

119
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: on my own damn dime, people from the hood, people

120
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: that couldn't get jobs. Just be quiet and getting the

121
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: student posture just for a moment. Get out of your

122
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: liberal talking points and just get in the student posture,

123
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: just for a moment. I know it's hard for y'all

124
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: do because y'all done read all the talking points. I'm

125
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: telling you, just me owning the business, in Orlando, Florida,

126
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: with no loans, no grants, nothing of the sorts, just

127
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: me simply saying, you know what, I'm tired of working

128
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: for a deco. I'm tired of working for Robert have

129
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: the first and third largest firm in the world. I'm

130
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and get a staffing firm on my own.

131
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: Get all your liberal talking points and greedy capitalist move

132
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: all that shit out the way. I wouldn't boring my money.

133
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: Didn't nobody give me no money. I used factoring. I

134
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: had to get a company call it's called factoring, in

135
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: order just to cover my payroll. Let's deal with this

136
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: and pieces, because I know it's too much for a

137
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: lot of y'all. Let's deal with this in pieces. So

138
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: when I put employees to work who were ushers at

139
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: the Amway Center, they need to give Bernie something. Bernie

140
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: what Burne ain't never ran no business. Burnie's worked for

141
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: the government his whole life. Getting the student posture and

142
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: just listen for a second, stop with the typing in

143
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: the comments and just getting the student posture. When I

144
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: put eighteen employees to work, one hundred employees to work

145
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: a day, each one I had to build a city

146
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: eleven dollars and seventy one cents. Eleven dollars and seventy

147
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: one cents. They got paid seven dollars and seventy six cents.

148
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: The other two to three dollars went went towards unemployment insurance,

149
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: went to or spike up all of the bills that

150
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: are required to put somebody on the payroll. I could

151
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: simply not afford. Which is why we went out of business,

152
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: by the way, because when healthcare reform hit the staffing firms,

153
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: we lost a tremendous amount of business because we didn't

154
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: have anybody to build the insurance for another conversation, for

155
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: another day. I could not just send my employees home

156
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: and say, you know what I got there, I'm gonna

157
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: make up the difference for eight hours for all three

158
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: hundred of you. I could not afford it. This is

159
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: the part that you're smissing on the proposal. It is

160
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: paying people forty hours who work thirty two hours. So again,

161
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: some businesses can do it. I have staff in here

162
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: right now. Marcella's is my staff right now, But right

163
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: now only have a couple of people that I pay,

164
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: and I'm not paying him much because he's a part

165
00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: time employee. So in Christmas when we didn't work for

166
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: two or three weeks, or however it was, I still

167
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: paid this monthly salary because I could afford to do that.

168
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: I could not afford to do that if I had

169
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: three hundred employees. I had shit to do with greedy capitalism.

170
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what the real deal is for the

171
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: average small business, particularly the small black business. If you've

172
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: never signed the front of the check, you literally don't

173
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: know what the hell you're talking about. You literally don't

174
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. So if you are in

175
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: an industry or a position to be able to afford that, yes,

176
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: that's why I am in support of what Massachusetts is doing.

177
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: That says, if you are a business that can't afford

178
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: to do that, we'll give you a tax write off.

179
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: We'll incentivize you to do that. But not every business

180
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: can afford to do that. And you know what happened

181
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: when I lost my business. You know what happened when

182
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: I lost Shout out to the key, I see you

183
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: in a bi and who was in Orlando? And watch

184
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: this real time when I lost my business at the

185
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: Ally Group because health care reform kicked in. Spirrion was

186
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: my prime contractor, and we had to add five dollars

187
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: onto our billing and the City of Orlando simply was

188
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: not going to pay for it. We had to add

189
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: the five dollars because at that particular time, it was

190
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: right when healthcare reform kicked in and they said, hey,

191
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: seven ferns, you got to pay for health insurance. So

192
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: we had to figure out how to pay for We

193
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: can't just put it out our asks. They didn't want

194
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: to pay that bill, so they lost You know how

195
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: many people lost opportunities with me? If you've ever been

196
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: on my Live, you see one of my employees who

197
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: still chimes into this very day, Jermaine Curves, seventeen year old.

198
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: Half of my staff. I hired from a school called

199
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: Workforce Academy. These were students that were literally seventeen sixteen eighteen,

200
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: that were literally in a school that allowed them to

201
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: work half of their day to take care of their families.

202
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: They were the primary somebody hashtag primary breadwinner for their

203
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: adult family. I'm just giving y'all real talk. Were not

204
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: talking though. Two to three minute segment on the Breakfast Club.

205
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna unpack this in a real way. I hire

206
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: people that came straight out of jail. I hire because

207
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: this was in the recession. This is when the recession

208
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: hit two thousand and eight. I hire people who were

209
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: living in shelters and needed to have their time, you know,

210
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: to be able to show that they were accounting for

211
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: I hired people who had PhDs, people who had who

212
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: were just laid off, that had big jobs. It was

213
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: just an usher job, but it was all they had.

214
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: It was why I went after the NBA in twenty

215
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: eleven with a program called Assist the Bench that was

216
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: talking about how the millionaires were fighting over their money

217
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: and not paying my employees, and I forced them to

218
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: at least make sure that they had Thanksgiving dinner. You

219
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: don't have to believe me. You can go look it up.

220
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is go online, put in Teesum

221
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: figure O Assist the Bench, and you'll see the story

222
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: on Channel nine. You keep talking about four day work

223
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: we can be done. You're not listening. Simply, miss lady baby,

224
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: this is not about a four day work week. Let

225
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: me say it again for those who just came in.

226
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: The proposal is about paying people forty hours when you

227
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: work thirty two. They don't give a damn if it's

228
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: done in three days, five days, six days, seven days.

229
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: Let me say it again, this is not about scheduling.

230
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: You guys are not listening. You heard what Mby said,

231
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: but you did not listen to what I said, and

232
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: your damn show didn't read the proposal. So let me

233
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: say it again for those of y'all to keep coming

234
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: here talking about it ain't about the scheduling. We all

235
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: can be. You're listening to Envy's opinion and commentary and

236
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: not the proposal. Somebody has tagged proposal. I need to

237
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: know that I got five deacons in the building that

238
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: are hearing what I'm saying. Proposal. This is not about

239
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: squeezing it in in four days. This is not about scheduling.

240
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: This is not about everybody ain't got to be off

241
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: on the same day. That's the secondary. The primary, Sassy Lexi, Mama, Muller,

242
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: m Ail, Moy Terry s Squire, Jerry twelve. These are

243
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: the people who are handstagging proposal. The primary is paying

244
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: you forty hours for working thirty two. And what I

245
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: am telling you is, as somebody who had three hundred employees,

246
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: I cannot afford to pay three hundred people. Let's do

247
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: the math. Eight people, eight hours for each person, I

248
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: will be out of business. I barely have enough to

249
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: cover who I'm paying. Now, are y'all getting that wein

250
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: talking about big corporation, We're talking about the small business.

251
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: There are more small and medium businesses than are big corporations.

252
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: I know these liberals keep giving y'all these talking points,

253
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you what's real, and I'm telling you

254
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: what applies to your black ass and our black ass community.

255
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: Because when I am not in position to hire people,

256
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: that means I'm not in business to hire your cousin

257
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: who can get a job at FedEx because they got

258
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: a background. I'm not in the position to hire somebody

259
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: else because maybe they overqualify. I'm giving y'all a real

260
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: deal on the small and medium in particularly black business,

261
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: before y'all chime in with these liberal talking points. I'm

262
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: trying to get you to understand from the black business perspective,

263
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: if you can afford to do it, yes, you still okay?

264
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: So Rob, Rob four to two oh eight, oh, we say,

265
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: how about four days, ten hours. That's not what this

266
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: proposal is about. Sweetheart, because that would still be forty hours.

267
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: The proposal is about paying you forty hours for working

268
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: thirty two. Are y'all following me? Can five people in

269
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: the comments because I just want to make sure that

270
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: the volume's not going in and out. This is not

271
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: about working four days and ten hours. The proposal is

272
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: not about scheduling. The proposal is about you owing me

273
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: forty dollars. And I'm gonna take thirty two from you

274
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: and tell you, and you tell me, well, it's better

275
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: for my mental health. Well, of course it's better for

276
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: your mental health because you owe me forty dollars. Are

277
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: y'all following me? I need y'all to read the policy.

278
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: Let's read the proposal, guys. This is not about working

279
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: four days and ten hours. That's not what it's about.

280
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: Y'all heard Envy's comment his commentary, and y'all went with that,

281
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: and y'all didn't read the policy and the proposal. And

282
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: because it's three of us talking at the same time,

283
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: and my segment is only two to three minutes, this

284
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: is why I'm recording this right now, straight shot and

285
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: no taser, so you can get the long winded form.

286
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: This is you let's do it in simple hood turns.

287
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: You owe me forty dollars. Shout out to little rail

288
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: in the building. Y'all show him some love. By the way,

289
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: the only comedian that consistently chimes in on this political shit,

290
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: so y'all can say what y'all want to say on

291
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: Club Shay Shaye. Let me just show him some love

292
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: right quick. He actually do give a damn back. What's

293
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: going on our community and a lot of the people

294
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: that y'all be celebrating and hand clapping, and that's right,

295
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: talk to him and all of that ain't never tapped

296
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: in with none of the activists, and it's only a

297
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: handful of us. Just so y'all know, they just want

298
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: to put that on that fire. Now. Anyway, let me

299
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: just again, let me give you, since I'm a hood whisper,

300
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: let me give you an example. You owe me forty dollars.

301
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: I say I'm gonna need that forty dollars simply, miss

302
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: Lady P. And you say, take this thirty two. What

303
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: you mean, take this thirty two because it's better for

304
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: my mental health? Oh okay, but what about the forty though,

305
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: the forty that I gave you six months ago. I

306
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: took that forty from Bob over here, and Bob want

307
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: that forty back in interest too, So now I owe

308
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,959
Speaker 1: Bob fifty six dollars and you just I'm just supposed

309
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: to take your thirty two because it work out for

310
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: your mental health. That bill still got to get paid, y'all?

311
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: Are y'all following me? And it ain't not. And Nick

312
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: grow in here, that's gonna take less unless you decide

313
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: to take less, unless you say you know what? You

314
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: got that. I know you owe me forty, but God,

315
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: that thirty two is cool. And sometimes may say you

316
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: know what? Because just truth be told, this is not

317
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: about not having compassion for people, guys, because I'm a

318
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: compassionate person. I don't. You can't even borrow money from

319
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: me because when I give it to you, I got

320
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: I give it to you. Man, you got that. I

321
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: ain't even expecting that bag you got that. Marcella is

322
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: my staff that's in these comments right now. I had

323
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: to force him to be paid, did y'all hear me?

324
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: I said I had to force him to be paid.

325
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: He refused. He just wanted to do something that was meaningful.

326
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: It's like Teslan's no big deal. I just want to

327
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: help him do something meaningful. I just want to push

328
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: the line. I just want to be a part of

329
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: something bigger. Oh no, no, no, Marcella's let me give

330
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: you something. I literally told him that you're either gonna

331
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: take this money or I will not be allowing you

332
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: to help me. So it's not that people are not compassionate.

333
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get you to understand the bigger picture.

334
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: I would love to bring him on full time, but

335
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: I cannot afford to bring him on full time because

336
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm sent up for busy doing this shit on Live

337
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: with y'all when I should be paying somewhere else. Are

338
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: y'all following? So what I'm trying to tell y'all is

339
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: it's balanced. So in Massachusetts, when they say, hey, Teslin,

340
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: if you go ahead and hire Marcella's at in thirty

341
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: two hours, we're gonna give you a tax break, and

342
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: that's gonna balance that out, I'm gonna jump all over

343
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: that because I'm like, okay, cool, that eight hours gonna

344
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: get made up somewhere because I only have one or

345
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: two impl It's no way I could have did that

346
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: with three hundred. Are y'all? Following what I'm saying. So

347
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: this is not about a scheduling thing. This is not

348
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 1: a how many people can we get? What's gonna be

349
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 1: closed and what's gonna be done that business? If that

350
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: business is functioning off of twenty people doing forty hours

351
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: of labor making widgets for forty hours, and now you

352
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: want me to pay all of them thirty two, I

353
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: gotta make up the eight dollars out of my own pocket.

354
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: But those widges still gotta get sold. So where am

355
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: I making up the difference? Y'all? Tell me where the

356
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: difference coming from? Where's the difference coming from? Because if

357
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: the eight I'm giving you eight hour, eight dollars out

358
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: of my pocket for you for your mental health, But

359
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: I still gotta go sell this widget that you made,

360
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: because somebody gotta pay. Who gonna pay? How am I

361
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: gonna pay you the forty dollars? Do you'll understand what

362
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying. No, you're not getting it. You hire more people.

363
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: I still got to pay that eight dollars out of

364
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: my pocket with more people. Moco, baby, I can tell

365
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: a lot of y'all ain't never had any play. And

366
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: I say this is being funny I've had three hundred

367
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: go look it up. It's not about every person I

368
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: add to my payroll, I have to spend more. It's

369
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: not about hiring more people those hours. If my business

370
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: operates on ten people working forty hours a piece, because

371
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: that is how we pay the damn bills hiring more people,

372
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: I still need them ten people to work those forty hours.

373
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: Are y'all not following this? What are y'all talking about?

374
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: This ain't a house where we only got one electric

375
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: bill for eighty dollars and I just say hey, more

376
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: niggas just come move in. No, this is a business, baby.

377
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 1: You're not paying attention. We're not talking about the labor law.

378
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: Let me say it again for those who just came in.

379
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: This proposal says pay forty hours, even though somebody works

380
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: thirty two. You're not paying attention. You're so busy thinking

381
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: this ain't nothing, but these greedy capitalists they want us

382
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: to work more. I'm telling you the real deal. Bernie Sanders,

383
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: of course, this is a great idea to him. He's

384
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: worked for the government his whole life. He's never owned

385
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: a business ever in life. He's never had to sign

386
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: the front of the check. Ever in life, Everything Bernie's

387
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: ever done has been off of donation. And I ain't

388
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: being funny, I'm being real and I worked for him,

389
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: So okay, none of y'all check me about Bernie Sanders.

390
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: You Moco baby, You're still not getting it. You're saying

391
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: because thirty two hours is now considered full time work,

392
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: You're not getting it, Mocho. I'm gonna say it again.

393
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about it if it's considered I'm not

394
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: talking about if another work you're done. Let me say

395
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: it again very slow. Can somebody can a co teach

396
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: your help? Because I'm tired of repeating myself. They want

397
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: me to pay you forty hours when you work thirty two?

398
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: Where am I getting the eight dollar difference for the

399
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 1: twenty employees? Where am I getting it from? Am I

400
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: pulling it out my ass? Where does it come from?

401
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: That difference has to get made up somewhere. So maybe

402
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: I have to go up on the price of whatever

403
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: it is I'm selling. Maybe I have to let a

404
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,239
Speaker 1: couple of people go, are y'all crazy? Or what? The

405
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: eight dollars has to come from Somewhere? I can't pull

406
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: it out of my ass. See That's the thing about it,

407
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: Leo taking when you say out of your profit, tell

408
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: me where my profit was at the City of Orlando.

409
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: When I got eleven dollars and seventy one cents for

410
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: each person and I had to pay seven dollars and

411
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: seventy one cents, there was no goddamn profit. So you

412
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: don't know that unless you really ever been in business.

413
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: You're talking about big corporations. Can I let you know

414
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: that the average be business is not a big corporation.

415
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: The average businesses people like me, small and medium businesses.

416
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: What damn profit are you talking about? Anybody ever been

417
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: in business to tell you they don't make no damn profit?

418
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: Do you know it took me almost twenty years to

419
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: make a profit. Let me say it one more time,

420
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: almost twenty years. I've been in business with myself over

421
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: a decade. What damn profit are you talking about? Put

422
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: a three in the chat. If you run your business

423
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: for real, let's inform this negro quickly about profit. Let's

424
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: gone and have this conversation. And I want you to

425
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: show me to let what damn profit? Take it out?

426
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: What damn profit? Where? Where? Why do you think so

427
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: many businesses can't survive us. Why do you think so

428
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: many take it out? What damn profit? What are you?

429
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: What profit? First of all, show me the profit you're

430
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: talking about. Let's first start there, cause any black business

431
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell you talking about. Man. We

432
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: robbing Peter to pay Paul barely damn making it running

433
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: on credit lines, credit cards, everything else. Ain't no damn

434
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: y'all getting this shit twisted in confusters and now tells

435
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: that's not true. I've made a profit every year. But

436
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: do you actually think I'm talking about every single person

437
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: that ever lived. I'm not talking about every single business.

438
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: Let's be for real. I'm telling you what. The common

439
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: denominator is, the common denominator, and these are facts, not

440
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: just you. The common denominator is the reason why most

441
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: small and medium businesses fail, and particularly black is because

442
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: they do not make a profit. You're talking to the

443
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: Ambassador chairperson of the African American Chamber of Commerce in

444
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: Central Florida. You're talking to the Young Professional Advisor Committee

445
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: and the Central Florida Regional Chamber of Commerce. I know

446
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: what the buck I'm talking about, and we ain't fit

447
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: to play no game when it comes to these receipts.

448
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: Don't make me run these receipts on you. I'm not

449
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: talking about just you, I'm talking about overall. That's why

450
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: I said, depending on the industry, it works for some.

451
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: Let's use hairdressers for an example. My former stylist is

452
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: in the comments. Anybody know where the forty hour work

453
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: comes from? What are you talking about? Okay, you way

454
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: too far in class for us to get that. Now,

455
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: if I'm a hairstyllust, now y'all know that. Ladies, y'all know,

456
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 1: y'all can relate to this. If the hairstylus is charging

457
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: you five dollars for the rents, five dollars for the cut,

458
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: two dollars for this, three dollars for that, she don't

459
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: necessarily have charge you three dollars for that tram. In

460
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: our opinion, you're like, come on, girl, you know you

461
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: could have just catered it to me. But in her mind,

462
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: she's like, no, I'm standing on my feet for four

463
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: to five hours, and in four or five hours, I

464
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 1: have set up my staf my pay to be fifty

465
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 1: dollars an hour or forty two dollars, do whatever it is,

466
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna need that because that extra ten minutes,

467
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes that it cooked, that it took to cut

468
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: your hair. That was time that I'm standing on my feet,

469
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: and any status will tell you who's been doing it

470
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: since we That's why I tell I tell a lot

471
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: of y'all. Y'all ain't never had no business any stating. Now,

472
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: there are those nickel and dime stallers, ladies. We all

473
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: know those. They had a bad break up, bad boyfriend.

474
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: Whatever they charge, you know, based on their feelings. But

475
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: to other step, to niquil that's in the comments right now,

476
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: who was never a nickel and domer. What she's saying

477
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: is I need all that fifty dollars an hour or

478
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: forty dollars an hour because I am self employed. I

479
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: have to pay my taxes. Unlike many other stylists. I

480
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: have to pay for my own salon, not just a booth.

481
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: I actually have to pay for my health care. I

482
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: know my bat gonna give out on me. I know

483
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: I don't have no insurance plan. I know I don't

484
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: have no Social Security. Yeah, I gotta cover all these costs.

485
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: So that extra fifteen dollars I'm gonna need that. Now

486
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: it's easy for me to sit in a chair and say,

487
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 1: oh girl, you don't need that. But see you not

488
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: having to cover all the all them them fees that

489
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: I just ran down. Mocho. Baby, I'm gonna say this

490
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: respect as I can. You're not grasping this. You're not

491
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: grasping it. You keep talking about the work week being

492
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: forty or thirty two. That's not what I'm talking about.

493
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. I don't give a damn if the

494
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: work week is twenty, thirty, eighty or ninety. If you're

495
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: asking me to pay, let me say it's slow. If

496
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: you're asking me to pay for hours you did not work,

497
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: and I have a large volume of employees as a

498
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: small or medium business, I'm gonna go out of business.

499
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: This person said, what am I being taxed on thirty

500
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: two or forty? You're gonna be taxed on forty because

501
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 1: you're gonna get paid for forty. Once again, you're not

502
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: getting it. Somebody here says all business have to do

503
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: is split the work on the schedules and get the work.

504
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: And the Monday two is a week. We're not talking

505
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: about the schedule. We're talking about paying you forty hours.

506
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: When you work thirty two, you can split it up

507
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: all day long. You're still making me pay eight dollars

508
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: for time that I can't build nobody. Why are y'all

509
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: not getting this? Why are y'all not getting this? So

510
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: the reason why I support, you're still not getting it.

511
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 1: Employees still pay the same No, baby, no de leon,

512
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: you're asking me. I keep trying to use it. I'm

513
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: gonna say this on more time, and after that, I'm

514
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: gonna leave it alone. You borrow forty dollars from me?

515
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: You wanna give me back thirty two? This is as

516
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: simple as I can make it. Now, you want fifty

517
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: people who borrow forty dollars from me, and you want

518
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: all of them to give me back thirty two? Can

519
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: somebody do the math? Can somebody do the math? So

520
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: now I'm out several hundred dollars? Where is that money

521
00:28:55,520 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: coming from? Are y'all slow? Baby? Are y'all slow? I mean?

522
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: And I hate to say that, because you know I

523
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: don't want to call y'all slow, But y'all not getting it.

524
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: So I need y'all to get it. So this is

525
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: not about schedule. This is not about we can split

526
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: it up and still get the work done. I hear

527
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,239
Speaker 1: where you're saying. Baby, What I'm telling you is it

528
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: depends on the industry, It depends on the job, It

529
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: depends on all of the things that are required to

530
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: run a business. And some businesses it works well. Some

531
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: businesses it does not. That's why I like the Massachusetts

532
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: program that says, hey, if you can afford to pay

533
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: marcellas full time, we will give you a tax credit.

534
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: I will jump on that immediately. But when I had

535
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: my staff in firm with three hundred employees, I could

536
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: not just take eight dollars out of my pocket for

537
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: three hundred people because there was no profit. I was

538
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: barely making it as it was. Because when you are

539
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: an employer, you know how real shit is. What profit

540
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: are you all talking about? So I'm talking about the

541
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: small and medium business, particularly the black business. If we

542
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: are under these types of mandatory, you better do this

543
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: and do that. I'm telling you you will lose your business.

544
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: That's why so many black businesses, including mine, went out

545
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: of business due to health care reform. But guess what, unbelievable.

546
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: I was totally okay with it. You know why I

547
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: was totally okay with it? Can we talk about it?

548
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: I was totally okay with losing my contract to health

549
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: care reform. You know why, because to me, the greatest

550
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: sacrifice was health care reform because I had two parents,

551
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: one that worked at the state and the other that

552
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: was on state insurance. And I lost both my parents

553
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: because neither one of them wanted to get a hospital bill.

554
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: True story. My mother worked in the faith based initiative

555
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: program for the government, had good insurance. I begged her,

556
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: stay in their mama, just one more night till I

557
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: get home. No, it's just another bill. I want to

558
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: go home. She went home, her lung collapsed. My daddy

559
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: did not have adequate health care insurance, had a seizure. Daddy,

560
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: won't you go ahead and go to the hospital. No,

561
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: I'm going home in the morning. I don't want the bill.

562
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: This is a true story. He died the next day.

563
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: Right now, at this moment, at nine to twenty five Eastern,

564
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: my closest friend in life. Matter of fact, I just

565
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: shared it in the group chat my closest friends. FUD

566
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: right now is in urgent care just to get an

567
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: insulin shot. Did y'all hear me? I said, he's in

568
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: urgent care right now, just to get an insulin shot

569
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: because the lack of resources in LA to get his

570
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: insolent on time. So if that meant me losing my business,

571
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: I was totally okay with it because the greater cause

572
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: was healthcare. But you know what it also did the

573
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: other side of that that many of you don't know

574
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: because you ain't never ran no business. It also put

575
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: out a whole lot of people that did not have

576
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: a chance, that couldn't go get a job in corporate America,

577
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: that didn't have another opportunity. When I hired Aaron Hall,

578
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: who was seniors, who did a ten year bid, y'all

579
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: gonna look this up. That man did a ten year bid.

580
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: Nobody gave him an opportunity, but me sure it was

581
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: just minimum wage. Sure it was being an usher the

582
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: man that made him feel like a man. Are y'all

583
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: following me? So when the small black businesses go out

584
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: of business, oh, it hurts in a major way. So

585
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: y'all have to think about all of that while y'all

586
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: jumping in here with these liberal talking points that these

587
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: people are telling you, you got to think about every

588
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: stage of this and how it affects everybody and find

589
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: a common ground. Stop saying, take it out of the problem.

590
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: Ain't no damn profits. You barely making it if you

591
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: and being you lucky if you able to pay, you're

592
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: lucky if you get a profit, because that if there

593
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: was that easy, all of y'all say, y'all are boss.

594
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: That's all y'all say. Well, where y'all business is at?

595
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: Most people that run a small and medium business got

596
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: two three fou hustles on the side. So let's stop

597
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: the cap And whoever this is in the comments that

598
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,479
Speaker 1: said you had a profit every single year you've been

599
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: in business, Congratulations, brother, You are not the norm because

600
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: most of us who are small business have to work

601
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: years in order to turn a profit. What are you

602
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 1: talking about? Small businesses would not be affected. It would

603
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: be implemented across various speed. Where are you getting that from, Johnny?

604
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: Where did you get that from? Who told you that? Johnny?

605
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: Where did you get that from? Johnny? Psite the source, Johnny,

606
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: You're just making it up as you go. So again,

607
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: the average business in America small and medium. So even

608
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: if it's just across certain sectors, let me say it again,

609
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: the average business is small and medium. The average business

610
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: is not large. Now these large corporations run it all,

611
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: but the average business is a small and medium business.

612
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: That's it. And that's not a conservative talking point and liberatire.

613
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: That's just a fact, and it's particularly a fact when

614
00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: it comes to black business. So it's about a good,

615
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: good common ground solution with after you feel like somebody

616
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: trying to affect your mental health and somebody being greedy. No,

617
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: I'm talking to your cousin that just opened up that

618
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: last business, Your cousin that just opened up that window

619
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: washing business, Your cousin that just opened up that detailing business,

620
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: your girlfriend that just opened up that hair salon, Your

621
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: friend that just became a life coach. Your cousin that

622
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: just said, you know what I think instead of me,

623
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: you know, going and training by myself, I think I

624
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: can be a personal trainer. Those are people that I'm

625
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: talking about, the truckers in the building who are in

626
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: the comments. I'm talking to y'all for those of y'all

627
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: to say, you know what, I'm gonna stop driving this

628
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: white man truck and I'm gonna go get my own.

629
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: Let holler back at me when you're starting to pay

630
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: all them expenses on your own, then come back and

631
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: tell me how easy it is. Then come back and

632
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: tell me how easy it is. It is because most

633
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: businesses don't profit. I did just start profiting until I

634
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: got out of having three hundred employees. Once I got

635
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: down to one or two employees. Oh yeah, I'm proper

636
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: to my asshof. That's another reason why, really I could

637
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: have been like, oh, I'm cool with losing my business

638
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 1: because I just I'm what you call the c suite,

639
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: meaning I can go in in any job on a

640
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: sea level and I'm gonna have a job straight. I'm

641
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: gonna be six figures regardless. So them people losing their job,

642
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: it didn't affect me. It affected them. But what about

643
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 1: THEO though, my favorite employee, who is public public about

644
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: his crack cocaine habit. What about him? He ain't been

645
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: right ever since. I'm the only one ever gave him

646
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: a shot. So what about THEO? The job I gave

647
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: him was the only opportunity that he had that he

648
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: ever had. Anybody ever gave him a chance. Who should

649
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: only apply large companies? He got a feeling and he

650
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: can't apply no large companies. So I'm giving you the reality.

651
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: Oh you're saying this should only apply to large company. Yep.

652
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: That's the point. That's why they that's why Massachusetts is saying,

653
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: give people a tax break. If you can afford to

654
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: do it, then do it. If you can't afford to

655
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: do it, you can't put it on people that can't

656
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: afford it. Somebody said it couldn't something like an SBA

657
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: implemented siys of small business. SBA hardly give us anything

658
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: melody for black businesses. That'd be great, that'd be great,

659
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: but they don't. And a lot of those programs are

660
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: grant programs. I never applied. I never qualified for any

661
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: of those grant programs. I had to have a certain

662
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: type of business, had to be on a certain type

663
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: of time. I had to do this, do that, do that,

664
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: and you barely got it. My business was a for

665
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: profit organization. It wasn't no damn grant. And that SBA

666
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars, five thousand dollars, whatever it is. My

667
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: monthly pray road was in the six figures. So none

668
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: of that. Have stopped worrying about the video. You don't

669
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: need to see me. This is for the listener. I'm

670
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 1: recording my podcast, So SBA sound good. But where the

671
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: SBA money gonna come from SBA. Don't be getting black

672
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: people shit. And Orlando, we had what was called the

673
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: Black Business Investment Fund, which was funded by our local

674
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: politicians in order to give black businesses money because the

675
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: SBA wasn't giving us a damn thing. And I never

676
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: got either, by the way, not SBA, not BBIF or

677
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: no other initial. So that sound good, But where's the

678
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: SBA money gonna come from the government. The government's not

679
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: office to pay the eight dollar difference for these small

680
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: businesses that don't work that way. They just gonna tell

681
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: you just get your black ass out of business. If

682
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: you can't afford to get in business, then get out,

683
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 1: and then the corporation is really gonna be running everything.

684
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: There'll be no more small and medium businesses. No, Johnny,

685
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: you're missing it. You're saying there's numerous studies to support

686
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: this that's proven and effected. You're missing in, Johnny, because

687
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: you're talking about all the pros about it. I understand

688
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 1: all of those pros. What I'm telling you is from

689
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: signing the front of the check as a small business,

690
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: how I can't afford to give three hundred employees eight

691
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 1: dollars that I don't have. That's what you're missing, Johnny.

692
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: Let me bring you up, Johnny. Because now Johnny, I'm

693
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: gonna bring you up, you probably will deny. You don't

694
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: have to put your camera on at all. But Johnny,

695
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring you to the Live. And the first

696
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: thing Johnny I'm gonna ask you. I'm not gonna ask

697
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: you shit about no study. The first thing I want

698
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: to know, Johnny, is tell me about the business that

699
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 1: you run. If you can't answer that and start running

700
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: down in payroll numbers, you're immediately gonna be disconnected from

701
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: the call. So let's invite Johnny up because this seed

702
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: I like to have the kind of conversations based on receipts.

703
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: Damn them studies. Let's talk about receipt time. Now. If

704
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: you can't bring in the receipts, we must end the

705
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: conversation immediately. So I just invited you to the Lives

706
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,720
Speaker 1: and I don't want to hear shit about no study.

707
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you right at the gate, what business

708
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: do you own and how many employees do you have?

709
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: And don't try to bullshit me because I know when

710
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: people lying. Now, you can keep all them studies to yourself.

711
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna get down to the get down with the receipts. So, Johnny,

712
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: do you want to join me? Johnny, do we want

713
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: to play this game about these about these studies? Are

714
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 1: we gonna deal with the real deal? Because yes, there's

715
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: plenty of businesses on, plenty of studies on how paying

716
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: people thirty two hours, paying people forty hours and thirty

717
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: two could work, and all of that. What I'm trying

718
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: to tell you, as a small black business owner is

719
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: most small black business owners cannot pay people forty hours

720
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: when they only work thirty two. That's the bottom fucking line,

721
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: john john that's just the bottom line. I don't have

722
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: the eight dollars to pay you guys. I just don't.

723
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 1: I have to get all forty hours. My friend, Reggie,

724
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: you're an employer, a black business owner in real life,

725
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: they're skipping over. We're not talking about the work and

726
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,399
Speaker 1: still be doing in four days. You can be off.

727
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm telling you. I'm telling you the

728
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: first part of the proposal is paying you forty hours

729
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: when you only work thirty two. The first part of

730
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 1: the proposal is no, we ain't got ten minutes, Johnny,

731
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: we gotta get it right now. No, you've even got

732
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: time to be looking up Johnny. Johnny now saying give

733
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: me ten minutes. Got to get the kids settled. No,

734
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: you've been doing way too much comment You should have

735
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: been settling the kids and not in the comments. You

736
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: over there trying to gather up them sources. And I'm

737
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: telling you you're wasting your time, Johnny, because the first

738
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: thing I'm gonna ask you is tell me about your business,

739
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: and tell me about your last payroll, and I'm gonna

740
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: start running off some shit that I know. You got

741
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 1: to know if you own a business. So don't worry

742
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: about getting them kids settled. They're gonna be all right.

743
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 1: They been unsettled, so gone and come join the live, Johnny.

744
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: What you're trying to do, Johnny, is look that shit up.

745
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: Because you think you can come in and talk in

746
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: these circles about studies and anybody know anything about me.

747
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: You got to produce some receipts. But I don't give

748
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: damn about no damn studies. You got to talk about

749
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: real life. I'm talking about real life. I'm talking about

750
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 1: when I was paying three hundred employees on a weekly

751
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: basis in Orlando, Florida, when I won two verifiable awards,

752
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: you can go look it up. I did not have

753
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: an extra eight dollars to pay people forty hours when

754
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: they only work thirty two would love to do it.

755
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: I do it now with my staff because I only

756
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 1: have two. I'm just talking about I can't afford that

757
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: extra eight dollars. So fuck with them studies talking about

758
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: John John, You're gonna have to come to this line

759
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: with this real talk. We don't do studies and the

760
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: studies this and the studies that I'm talking about your

761
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 1: black ass business? Do you have an extra eight dollars?

762
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: Do Reggie have an extra eight dollars? Since y'all saying

763
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: take it out the profits cause y'all love saying that

764
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: we'll just take it out the profits, Well why y'all

765
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: want to own nothing so y'all can take it out?

766
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, because it ain't no damn profit. Half

767
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: of the people on here couldn't make couldn't stay in

768
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: business for six months. It's harder than you think. Just

769
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 1: take it at the y'all quick to say to take

770
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: it at the profits as y'all go in and just

771
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: you're able to go in and clock in, and every

772
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: week you get a check regardless. See, I don't get

773
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: a check regardless if I ain't feeling right, if I

774
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: ain't delivering, if I'm not doing this or doing that,

775

777
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: on time. Hope don't know, lights get cut off. That's

778
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: why I always talk with my chest while I'm always

779
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 1: a little bit more aggressive because I'm under a lot

780
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: of pressure. You negro sitting up here on the job

00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: You still getting paid? While Johnny over looking up studies

00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: I got to do all this as a as a

786
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: real entrepreneur, and now you want me to make up

787
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: the difference with the eight dollars. I don't have it, John, John,

788
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 1: That's what I'm just trying to tell you. I don't

789
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: have it. Hell yeah, let's just keep it real. Prelove said,

790
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: it's hard running be I'm on my second year in

791
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: entrenew it's beating my ass. I know, it is. I

792
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: know it is. That's why everybody say, girl, I'm starting

793
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: to business. But we don't never see him starting it though.

794
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 1: So it's very easy to go in and clock in

795
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: and say, hey, I'm a clock in thirty two hours.

796
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: But y'all better pay me forty and pay all three

797
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: hundred of US forty and just take it out of

798
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: the profits. Let's just switch it up sometimes, Reggie, why

799
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: don't they sign in front of the check and see

800
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 1: how easy it is? Yeah, youself, he said, I got

801
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: twelve employees, this would impact us. Imagine thirty hundred. Absolutely.

802
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: They see they think that a dollar just say dollars

803
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: just eight hours. No, I can't afford the extra eight hours.

804
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: I literally can't afford it. See, this is how I

805
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: know anybody had no payroll, because every time and employees

806
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: on the payroll, there's a certain cost that I have

807
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: to pay for each employee, regardless of how many hours

808
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 1: they work. You see, you never signed in front the checks.

809
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: You don't know what you're talking about. That's right, vocals.

810
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: Let's tell the truth. He said, my business, one man business.

811
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 1: I can't even more to pay myself. Let's tell the truth, y'all,

812
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: gonna kill y'allself trying to be a boss. Hey, I'll

813
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: die trying. It ain't. It ain't for everybody. You just

814
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 1: keep clocking in, Leo, Leo thinking nineteen eighty, keep clocking

815
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 1: your ass in. You jealous, and you gonna kill yourself

816
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: being a slave. So now how that go? I mean,

817
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: I can shoot that right back to you. You gonna

818
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: die either way, either a slave or our boss, or

819
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: some of us maybe we all right will die as

820
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: a boss because you're gonna get your ass killed too.

821
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 1: That's why y'all in here crying about mental health. Let

822
00:45:58,360 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 1: me be off one more day so I can give

823
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: me don't help. So look like you niggas gonna die too.

824
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: So it looks like we all gonna die. Some of

825
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: us gonna die a boss, some of us gonna die

826
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: as a slave. So now what else is happening? What

827
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: else is happening? You thought you said something. You didn't

828
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: say nothing, baby, You didn't say a damn thing. You

829
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: usual gonna kill yourself trying to be a boss, and

830
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: you gonna kill yourself being a slave either way it go.

831
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: Were gonna be two dead niggas, but you gonna be

832
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: a dead nigga that said here lies a slave, and

833
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 1: mine gonna say here lies a motherfucking boss. So what's

834
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: the difference. You thought you said something, You ain't said nothing, Baby,

835
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: You ain't said a damn thing he thought he really

836
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 1: said something. Y'all gonna kill y'allself, and you gonna kill yourself,

837
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: and he get to decide when you work, when you

838
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: don't work, Tell you want to show up when and

839
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,760
Speaker 1: I show up? Actually I don't, because if you stick

840
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: in this, if you stick in this shit like I did,

841
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: like the real bosses do, and you stay and play

842
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 1: in it just a little while longer like I do. Baby,

843
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm on vacation whenever I get ready. That's why we

844
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,399
Speaker 1: y'all say, damn, why should keep being virtual every day?

845
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: See Burnt, it was over for you when the white

846
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: Man told you to come back to work with COVID.

847
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 1: I don't have to come back to work. I'm virtual

848
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: on the Breatherst Club every damn day. I can do

849
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 1: that shit from anywhere. Did y'all see me do it

850
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 1: from the cruise? I was in the Bahamas, still clocking in.

851
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: You could never see. Only a boss can do that.

852
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: Only a boss can do that because see, when you

853
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 1: delivered Joe shit up to such a level, you can

854
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 1: negotiate your contracts. Say if you want to, that's boss talk. Baby,

855
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: I said, that's boss talk. Somebody has tag boss talk.

856
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: Now I got to pop my collar on you now,

857
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: now I got to show you. Now, I got to

858
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: pop my collar. You came with that slick shit. You

859
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 1: See when they told you bring your motherfucking ass into work,

860
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: you had to bring it on in. See, I have

861
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: to bring it on in. I can do my shit

862
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: from the cruise, from outside, inside, over here, over there.

863
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: But it took twenty years to get the game. Though.

864
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: It took me twenty years to get to that point.

865
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: Had to go through a whole lot of killing myself,

866
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: as you say, And you've been killing your every damn

867
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 1: day for that white man. And you still got to

868
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: go clock in and probably clocked in right now. So

869
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 1: that wasn't no flex. There wasn't no flex. Bosses get

870
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: up and go whenever they get ready. Now we might

871
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 1: be broke, but we still can get up. Though we

872
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 1: still can get up. You can't get up till they

873
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: tell you to get up. So who killing who? Who

874
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 1: killing who? Now? Like I said, it took me a

875
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 1: minute to get to this. It wasn't easy. That's why

876
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 1: I'm giving y'all a real deal. It ain't gonna break

877
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: me because I only got two staff at this point.

878
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: I stopped. I stop employing three hundred people because my

879
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: skill set, I can just pay by the hour. Many

880
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 1: of you know, remember some of y'all don't fill out

881
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: that new client app, and y'all feel it out. I

882
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: guess y'all thought I for free. Y'all better tap into

883
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: this free podcast because that one on one gonna hit

884
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: you for two fifty an hour. Better tap into this

885
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 1: free podcast where I give this information and hopefully I'll

886
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: answer your comment because when you come one on one

887
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: and so it's two fifty and that's the bout, and

888
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: I ain't budgeting on it, and I ain't budging on it,

889
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: and that I don't need no staff to do that.

890
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: That's just me talking. So that's that, yeah, And I

891
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: ain't doing no budget on it. So what is he

892
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:22,399
Speaker 1: talking about? What is he talking about? And don't post

893
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: that aggressively because really, truth be told, I don't want

894
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: no clients from no IG. I like clients that do

895
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 1: big retainers right after gate. I like clients do big retainers,

896
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,399
Speaker 1: So I just did that because somebody said, why don't

897
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: you do? They keep asking for me to do it.

898
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: So okay, cool, and y'all feel out the little client app.

899
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 1: And then once y'all feel out, this ain't no live,

900
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: this ain't no YouTube. And y'all realize y'all got to

901
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,399
Speaker 1: pay that hourly rate like you pay anybody else. That's

902
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: when all of a sudden the interest goes down. It's

903
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: totally fine with me because you're gonna pay for it

904
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: by the hour. Other than that, go listen to the podcast.

905
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: I drop content every week for free, free for you,

906
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:57,960

00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,520

Speaker 1: our Heart, the largest audio platform in the world. This

909

Speaker 1: is a contract. This ain't based on I got to

910
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,080
