Uh if it's from 31 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 2: lines that I've had to do in the movies this year, 32 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: to you know, the podcast, to my television stuff, my 33 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: other shows.

I just think I mentioned to well, 38 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 2: I know I mentioned to you, but I don't remember that. 39 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: I just enrolled in a political science program graduate program. 40 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: So I'm super excited about that. I'm a nerd, as 41 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: you know, I love information and I've always you know, 42 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 2: people who have a political science degree. You know, I've 43 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 2: debated people like that political scientist, if you will, and 44 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: I've always you know, talked about how the theory is 45 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: not on the ground in actual politics, and so I'm 46 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: learning in this class that I was right that it 47 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 2: is not on the ground, it is not grassroots per se. 48 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 2: I love my professor because he said something that I 49 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 2: say all the time, that I'm telling you how it 50 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 2: is not how I wanted to be. So I'm very 51 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 2: excited about this course or this program in particular, because 52 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: I try to be that type of educator to tell you, 53 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: you know, how, what it is, how it is when 54 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: I found it. He described it as how the world 55 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: is when he found it, not what I wanted to be, 56 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 2: not what it should be. And because he literally had 57 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 2: in the syllabus, this is not like people yelling and 58 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 2: screaming on Fox News at msnbcing he still don't know. 59 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 2: I do do Fox News, But I thought that was 60 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 2: interesting that he has it like literally in the description. 61 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 2: But I love it because a lot of times i'm 62 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 2: really I'm excited to know that I can connect those 63 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 2: two worlds. You're either a scholar, or you are a 64 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 2: grassroots person or an organizer or worked on a campaign, 65 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: or you might be somebody who's experienced various levels of 66 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: whatever it is we're talking about, you know, which is 67 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: why this episode healthcare, we're doing it so important, but 68 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: you may not have experienced various levels in the world 69 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 2: our exposure to those things. And so I'm just excited, Jade, 70 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: because I want to be a better educator. I want 71 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: to be the best that I can. I want to 72 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: touch as many people as I can. And I really 73 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: pride myself on being able to relate to people with 74 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 2: analogies and metaphors, and you don't get people to understand it. 75 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 2: And so I'm just a forever learner. I'm a forever student, 76 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: and so I just get geeked out, you know when 77 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 2: I look at the syllabus and all the stuff that 78 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 2: I'll be learning, you know, in the structures and now 79 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: being able to take that to explain to people what 80 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 2: you scientists is. And a lot of people struggle with this. 81 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: It's the information. It's the data. It doesn't mean how 82 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 2: it is or what it should be. Is just the data. 83 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 2: So I'm just excited, Jay about having the discipline of 84 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 2: political science, you know, in addition to all the other things. 85 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 3: Yes, that's amazing. And I'm like, Oh, you already a professor, 86 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 3: so you about to be even dropping more Jews. 87 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 2: Oh your girl be getting on y'all nerve through every 88 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: every unit, y'all gonna learn. I will not being this alone. 89 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 2: But it's just so exciting to me. If I could 90 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 2: just teach for the rest of my life, you know, 91 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 2: that's the goal. Teach train, and there's different between training 92 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: and teaching in my mind, you know, but just to 93 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: sit and you know, get people to get it and 94 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: get people to say, oh, especially the adult learner. So 95 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 2: my master is in adult education, and I love the 96 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 2: adult learner because the adult learner, Tippica doesn't tell you 97 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 2: what they don't know, so you have to figure it out. 98 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 2: You see that light bulb go off and be like, oh, okay, 99 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: I see what you're saying. You know, I'll do it 100 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 2: to you all the time, even when you don't like it, 101 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 2: and you educated yourself. But just bring up a conversation 102 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: we had before. I know your MIMMI sharing it, but 103 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 2: when we talk, I think we talked about it on 104 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 2: one of these shows. Girl, we do so many, but 105 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: we were talking about Coach Waltz and his yes. 106 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 3: Come on, let's go with it. 107 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 2: I love it, and how he relates and you went 108 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: with the narrative that was, you know, being put out 109 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 2: there tests he don't own no home. 110 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 3: He don't have said, he doesn't have any cryptocurrency, he 111 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 3: doesn't have a you know, an extensive amount of real estate. 112 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: In my mind, I was like, how is he wanting 113 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 3: to be VP? So you know I said that, and 114 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 3: you know we talked about it on air, and you 115 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: really spoot me on that. 116 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 2: On the felt like, see, this is where people get confused. 117 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 2: See a public servant. And I know people are confused 118 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 2: about that because it has been abused, it hasn't been 119 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 2: it's supposed to be. But it's actually a servant. It's 120 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 2: not a business. It's not running in like a business. 121 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 2: I know Donald Trump and many of us said, you know, 122 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 2: I ran a business, so I can do the successor. 123 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 2: The problem is in what you've seen with a Trump 124 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: style administration. And I'm not even just talking about Trump 125 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: in particular, but anybody that says, oh, you run it 126 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: like you run a business. No, you actually don't run 127 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,799 Speaker 2: it like you run a business. You actually don't always 128 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 2: put profit first. You actually don't look at what's best 129 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 2: for you. You actually don't make executive decisions like a business. 130 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 2: I was a CEO, I am a CEO. I've had 131 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 2: three hundred employees. Matter of fact, perfect example where the 132 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 2: you know, I tell the story, I'll time. But this 133 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 2: is a perfect example where a public serving crosses with 134 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 2: being a CEO. So when I was a CEO at 135 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 2: the Ally Group, and I tell the story all the 136 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 2: time about how during the NBA lockout in twenty eleven, 137 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 2: you know, my employees didn't have meals during that time. 138 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: The CEO of me was just fine. I was living 139 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: just fine. The Mayor of Orlando said, Tezlim, don't challenge 140 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 2: the NBA on this because the city of Orlando was 141 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 2: still getting paid even though the basketball team. You know, 142 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 2: you know, the NBA wasn't working because my kind of backup, 143 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 2: my stabbing firm. Our job was we were the ushers 144 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: for the Amway Center. So my employees, you know, were 145 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 2: the ushers help you sit down, you know, two contractors want. 146 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 3: Get your ticket, help you find your seat, tickets, all that. 147 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 2: Type of stuff. So when the NBA was out on lockout, 148 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 2: they weren't working. And what people don't understand about staffing 149 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 2: firm is you might just be working for me for 150 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: four or five hours, but I might have you on 151 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 2: another assignment earlier that day. You might do something day 152 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 2: before you're piecing together that puzzle. So when people are saying, 153 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 2: what's the big deal, these are just part time employees, 154 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: what's the big deal? What a big deal was? If 155 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 2: you know, when you run a payroll, it costs the most. 156 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 2: I want to get as many hours as I can 157 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 2: out of that pay out of that associate. I'll just 158 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 2: give you zam. Let's say to employ you, I have 159 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 2: to pay thirty dollars in taxes no matter how many 160 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 2: jobs you work or whatever you do. So I want 161 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 2: to have you on as many jobs as I possibly 162 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: can while I'm paying that salary or that costs associated 163 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 2: with that employee. Very similar to when we talk about 164 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 2: how much does it cost to get a vote? You know, 165 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 2: and we said, okay, it's going to cost about fifteen 166 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 2: dollars per vote. A lot of people don't understand that. 167 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 2: We can unpack that at another time. There's always a 168 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 2: cost associated with the person. So I may have a 169 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 2: temper employee do four hours over here. It allows me 170 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 2: to pick up another project. It allows me to throw 171 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,239 Speaker 2: something else in a mix. Similar to our relationship. When 172 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 2: you're working with me, you're a consultant, but because I 173 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: have you, I can add in a little piece here, 174 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 2: a little piece of there. You can go contract and 175 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: do this, You can do that. So the more, as 176 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 2: long as I keep you working consistently part time or 177 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 2: you have another contract part time, you're able to add 178 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 2: in these other things and all the money comes together. 179 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 2: People that have never had to live that, to work that, 180 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 2: to know what it means to depend on multiple streams 181 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: of income, or to say, hey, you know what, I 182 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 2: may not get much from Uber, but I make five 183 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: hundred a month. I can depend on that, but that 184 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 2: five hundred month allows me to make another five hundred 185 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 2: over here. You know, these various different things. So they 186 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 2: didn't understand that. I also had employees. A lot of 187 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 2: people were on probation and they had to be able 188 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 2: to show that they were working somewhere or they would 189 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 2: get penalized in their program. I had women who lived 190 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 2: in shelters who are different programs that needed to be 191 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 2: able to say, hey, I am working, you know, the 192 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 2: regardless of the hours, but I'm working. I actually am 193 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 2: you know, employed gainfully. Employee also hired about one hundred 194 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 2: plus students from an academy called Work Workforce Academy, and 195 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 2: it was a school that was set up to let 196 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 2: the students out half a day to go work. There 197 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 2: were students who were actually taking care of their parents, 198 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 2: some of the only people working in the household, so 199 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 2: they went they got in this program to go work. 200 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 2: So the NBA wasn't thinking about all of that, you know, 201 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: when they were going through their multimillion dollar lockout, which 202 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 2: is fine, but I was thinking about it when I said, 203 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 2: they're not working, and so we have to tell this 204 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 2: story of what it means for people not to be 205 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 2: able to work. So if we are going to be 206 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 2: locked out, I need the community to step forward and 207 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 2: still take care of these individuals because again now we're 208 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 2: talking about people going back to prison, recidivism, all of that. 209 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 2: And I had people who were former CEOs, people with PhDs. 210 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 2: This was during around the coming out of recession, so 211 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 2: it wasn't an easy time, you know, for a lot 212 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 2: of people. So by telling that story, Jay, that's not 213 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 2: what c a CEO would do. A CEO is thinking 214 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 2: about the profit, the bottom line and making sure that 215 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 2: you keep the relationship with the company. So the CEO 216 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 2: wouldn't have said anything at all because the CEO was 217 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 2: still you know, still got a contract and said, you know, 218 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 2: we're not going to rock the vote. The servant in 219 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: me who was actually running for office at that time, 220 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 2: and I told my employees, if I don't do this, 221 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 2: then y'all shouldn't vote for me. If I'm not willing 222 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 2: to give the job up, give the contract up, give 223 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 2: that up for you guys, then you shouldn't vote for me. 224 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 2: That's the difference between a servant and a CEO. So 225 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 2: when you hear politicians saying, oh, yeah, but I want 226 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 2: to know if you can run a business, you can 227 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 2: run a company. No, you don't run a company. That's 228 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 2: why the government is always in debt, which is the 229 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 2: argument between you know, Republicans and Democrats. Y'all spend spend 230 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 2: spind right, because the government in the liberal way is 231 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 2: being a safety net for those who don't have. So 232 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 2: it's kind of like I'm going to always be a 233 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 2: student debt because I'm not rich and I'm gonna want 234 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 2: to keep learning. So the mindset of thinking that running 235 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 2: a business is like running the government is not. Now, 236 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 2: are some of those skills? Do some of those skills 237 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: you know? Are they helpful? Yes? Negotiation, things of that nature. 238 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 2: But you are a servant. You are not there to 239 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: be rich, you are not there to benefit yourself, You're 240 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 2: not there to benefit your friends. So Coach Wats which 241 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 2: is why he called him coach was said, I'm sorry, 242 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna go and put it on record. I'm 243 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 2: not endorsing him or a surrogant for their campaign, but 244 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 2: he is really the ideal on what you what it 245 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 2: should be. The man made a hundred thousand some dollars 246 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 2: as governor. He lived in the governor's mansion. He didn't 247 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 2: have multiple houses. Most people that make a hundred thousand 248 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 2: and some dollars don't have multiple houses. He wasn't stealing 249 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 2: and skimming and getting money and contracts on the side. 250 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 2: And you know all the different whatever you're talking about 251 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 2: CD and all this, Well, I don't even know if 252 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 2: you If you're not successful, you can't be a public servant. No, 253 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 2: it was never designed that way. The best preachers in America, 254 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 2: the ones like Bishop Bishop got a small church that 255 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 2: he owns his own. Bisha Taviswand people can't hear you, 256 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 2: so come to the mic I want them to hear 257 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 2: your feedback. Michel Travis Swan has one church that he 258 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 2: owns it's an old school church something to the other 259 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 2: day one our church. Two that's the pews on East Side. 260 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 2: It's not a mega church. It's not a big church. 261 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 2: He owns it. This is what gives him the liberty 262 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 2: to actually be a real servant. He don't have to 263 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 2: cut corners or not say this or not say that 264 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 2: because he got a mega church. He don't have to 265 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 2: worry about Well, I can't fight police brutality because I 266 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 2: got to make sure that I'm being a politician and 267 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 2: I'm cutting a deal and I'm making sure that I 268 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 2: don't offend nobody. That is the true servant leadership. Yes, 269 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 2: you should be able to take care of yourself. Yes 270 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong. We're doing well, but we're not supposed 271 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 2: to be looking at somebody's bottom line to determine if 272 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 2: they will be a good servant. 273 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 3: I agree because you know, after you and I have 274 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 3: had this conversation once on air, and then you know 275 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 3: we talked about it off air, and then you consistently 276 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 3: over a period of time have given me examples, you know, literally. 277 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 2: Because I keep bringing it up over and over. 278 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I appreciate it because, like it really lands 279 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 3: is it? Because my initial idea of what it would 280 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 3: mean to be a successful commander in chief of a 281 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 3: whole country is someone who has built an empire, Because 282 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 3: initially I was thinking, well, if you can't, if you 283 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 3: haven't made a whole bunch of millions of dollars for 284 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 3: yourself and your own family and generationally, how are you 285 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 3: going to run these here? United States of America? 286 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: Where are you go? Where'd you guess from? Where'd that 287 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 2: come from? 288 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 3: I think it came from all of the propaganda I 289 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 3: have been consuming, I must say, from the sixty years. 290 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's crazy. 291 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, but literally, especially millennials and gen Z people like 292 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 3: we I'll speak for myself and other you know, folks 293 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 3: that I know, but especially I'll just speak for myself 294 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 3: that managing large sums of money and you know, growing 295 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 3: that empire is important. And I'm thinking that, Okay, a 296 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 3: great qualified commander in chief is someone who has demonstrated that. 297 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 3: So when I saw Governor Walls show up and he's 298 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 3: saying he doesn't have all of these different assets and stuff, 299 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 3: I was like, Oh, Initially, until I got school my 300 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 3: test one figure out, I'm initially like, oh, well, how 301 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 3: was he going to run the United States of America. 302 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so wild. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's so and so. 303 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: And just to be clear, because you know, I'm not 304 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 2: a big fan of generational conversations. It's really irritating to 305 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 2: me because it just it doesn't it's not always applicable. 306 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 2: But when you did say gen Z, let's be clear, 307 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 2: Generation X made more money than any generation ever with 308 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 2: the dot com industry, so nobody understands entrepreneurship. Then somebody 309 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 2: from the I'm in the they call it ex lineal. 310 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 2: Half of Generation X and the end of millennial the 311 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 2: forties and the mid forties. But still like we grew 312 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 2: up with the Internet, with AOL and cell phones and 313 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 2: we had all of that in fifth, sixth, seventh grade, 314 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 2: so half of our life was still digital, but still 315 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 2: got enough of older everybody I was around ten years 316 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 2: older than me, people in their fifties, but still had technology. 317 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: That's really what separates the generation. But the dot comm 318 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 2: industry nobody made more money, well some of in the eighties, 319 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 2: but the dot com industry when the Internet came out. 320 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 2: Entrepreneurship multimillionaires, billionaires, And do your research on this. If 321 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 2: you ever watch't know, if you ever watched those series 322 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: the nineties and the two thousands, and that ceing In 323 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: puts out all the time, nobody made more money than 324 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 2: Generation X. Nobody understands entrepreneurship more than Generation X. So 325 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 2: this is not a ah as a millennial we think 326 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 2: because y'all have brokens to be honest with you, Yeah, 327 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: we are now. 328 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 3: Because and that's what I was I wanted to say, 329 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 3: is that the economy is so bad right now. We're 330 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 3: looking for a financial savior, like who is going to 331 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 3: put things in place so we can buy a house 332 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 3: and not have to work until. 333 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 2: We're the Generation X. Just so you know, Generation X 334 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: was looking for no savior. Generation X was they all right, No, 335 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 2: y'all were. 336 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 3: But I'm just saying now, when I'm thinking about politics 337 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 3: and this election cycle, I initially falsely thought that someone 338 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 3: who manages the business and you know, would be a 339 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 3: good fit. And that's only a good fit versus looking 340 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 3: at policy because the country is so broken inflation, it's 341 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 3: so bad right now. So that's all I was trying 342 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 3: to say. 343 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 2: First of all, this is the reason why Trump did 344 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 2: so many executive orders and skipped over Congress. It's not 345 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 2: a CEO job. It's not Hey, you're fire, you leave. 346 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 2: It's not that's not like, that's not the government is 347 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 2: processes working together, coming up with strategies together. It's not 348 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 2: about how successful you can be, it's how successful you 349 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 2: set up other people. And businesses don't operate that way. 350 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 2: Businesses operate with the bottom line profit in mind. Now, 351 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 2: the conservative side of the Republican side would say they 352 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 2: look at the bottom line profit would make sense. Small government, 353 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 2: you know, not spending a lot of money the budget. 354 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 2: This is what they would argue. Democrats would argue, yeah, 355 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 2: you can manage the budget. But government is supposed to 356 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 2: be a safety net for those that cannot do or 357 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 2: don't have, or create more opportunities for people to go 358 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 2: from the poor to the actual middle class. And so 359 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 2: in order to do that, in order to be a servant, period, 360 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 2: it requires a selflessness. Somebody say selflessness that is required 361 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 2: to be a public servant. And if you want to 362 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 2: be all about you and make money and be a 363 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 2: boss and do what you're supposed to do and then 364 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 2: get it, get out of this business, because that ain't 365 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 2: what this business is. You lucky if you able to 366 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 2: even just take care of yourself if you are a 367 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 2: true servant, you're probably gonna make let more excuse me 368 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 2: privately than you ever will as a public servant. Now, 369 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 2: the flic to that d isj Some people get into 370 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 2: it already with their money. There are people that say, 371 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 2: I make sure I want to be a multi million 372 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 2: before I run for Congress. I want to make sure 373 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 2: that I have all these things so that I don't 374 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 2: have to go make my money, so I don't have 375 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 2: to worry about money, so I don't have to be bald. 376 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 2: I said, I don't have to feel like I'm weak 377 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 2: about money or whatever. And then some people that come 378 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 2: in with plenty of money girl, and they figure how 379 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 2: the ways to make more money and they pimph the system. 380 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 2: But a serving mindset, just think about it. At the church, 381 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 2: you're supposed to start the church on the hills, not 382 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 2: thinking I want a ten thousand, you know member church. 383 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 2: I want to Bentley, I want a big house, I 384 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 2: want this on that. So I just think, and it 385 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 2: was a great conversation happening that's looked like what this 386 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 2: show is turned into. I just think the servant leadership 387 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 2: or the idea of serving leadership I'm looking at as 388 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 2: we're doing this because you know, I always keep the 389 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 2: TV on in the background. I'm looking at Jasmine Crockett now. 390 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 2: When I interviewed her a few weeks ago, she talked 391 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 2: about how much money she made in the private sector, 392 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 2: and when she gives a story of how she was 393 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 2: in tears, and really when she said VP Harris reached 394 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 2: out to her when she was in the middle of 395 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 2: a line and she said she was in tears, and 396 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 2: she said, she do you know why she was doing this? 397 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 2: She made more money as an attorney. She was doing 398 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 2: so many, you know, so many things and so much 399 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 2: sacrifices involved in this. You know, money was one of 400 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 2: those things that you give up. Now again, people can 401 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 2: say that she's successful, that she has the you know, 402 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 2: all of the cloud. She'll make money after consulting. Sure, 403 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: but the initial thing is this is not a job 404 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 2: and she makes it. As a conncer, you make one 405 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five thousand dollars a year, so it's 406 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 2: not broke. But if you are used to making a 407 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 2: quarter of a million, three hundred or whatever it is, 408 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 2: you know that can may can make a difference, and 409 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 2: there's a lot that you can't do as a public 410 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 2: servant like certain deals that you can go to jail. 411 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 2: So yeah, and how you manage your checkbook is not 412 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 2: how I understand the basic principle of it. You know, 413 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 2: responsible logical thinker, you don't know how to be. But 414 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 2: the basic principle is what has that man's sacrifice to 415 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 2: serve Minnesota. He did not put himself first. He put 416 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 2: service first. And that's who you want writing policy people 417 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 2: that's gonna put service first and not themselves. So again, 418 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 2: what makes a good public servant is somebody that put 419 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 2: themselves first. That's what I look at, not necessarily who 420 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 2: went up the career ladder, who did well, who made money, 421 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 2: what their personal accounts are. I know that was something 422 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 2: that Trump talked about and we see what that type 423 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 2: of leadership looks like. So that's not for me. With Leeds, 424 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 2: I think the coach Walts is very relatable. I like 425 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 2: the viral video of him going around talking about, you know, 426 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 2: cleaning out the gutters on the house. Those are things 427 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 2: that people relate to because it's not paying somebody else 428 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 2: to do it, it's not having a servant to do it. 429 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 2: It's not saying, oh let me call tripa a no 430 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 2: it's you know how to change your own tire, you 431 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 2: know how to change own or people relate to that 432 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 2: because they want to know, you know what it means means, 433 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 2: you know, to have to do those things and not 434 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 2: somebody else for you. And that's what makes people good servants. 435 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 2: The pain that people have that they can associate, matter 436 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 2: of fact, the speeches that we teach me you us 437 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 2: a little bit about me, a little bit about you, 438 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 2: and then us something that relates us together and how 439 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 2: we can move forward. So when you say I know 440 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 2: what it means to live middle class, I know what 441 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 2: it means to be poor. Like you'll hear VP hars, 442 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 2: I know what it means to work my way through college, 443 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 2: you know at McDonald's. I know what it means to 444 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 2: be a single have a single parent. For coach Walls 445 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 2: to saying, I know what it means to have to 446 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 2: take care of a family, you know, on a middle 447 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 2: class salary, I know what it means, you know, to 448 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,719 Speaker 2: be a teacher. There's nothing more admirable than other than 449 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 2: police officers. That's up the question for a lot of people. 450 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 2: But teachers any better than that? So in yeah, right 451 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 2: of course, So why would you want to Why would 452 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 2: you not want a teacher opposed to somebody who did 453 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 2: well financially. What about the character of a teacher that 454 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 2: gets up and sacrifices. This man was a teacher for 455 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 2: thirty years, not because he made money. In addition that 456 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 2: being a coach too. That's the highest level of servant. 457 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 2: So those are the things that we sh we be 458 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 2: looking at as a servant, not because somebody was able 459 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 2: to make a dollar out of fifteen cent. What did 460 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 2: you give your time? What fifteen cents did you give up? 461 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 2: What dollar did you give up to see about somebody 462 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 2: else other than you? 463 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, And the thing that what I really appreciated about 464 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 3: these conversations that you and I had the lessons I 465 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 3: would say that you've taught me about this particular sobit 466 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 3: is that running a business and you know, is not 467 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 3: the same as being a great policymaker. You know, Governor Watts, 468 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 3: he was a high school teacher. You know he did policy. 469 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 3: I'm not saying that I'm going to vote for that ticket. 470 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 2: Right, you know what it is? Yeah, and people need 471 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 2: to get that. And again that go back to what 472 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 2: we talk about originally political science. We're just talking about 473 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 2: the information as it is. You know, it's damn shame 474 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 2: every time we acknowledge something, we got to say. I'm 475 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 2: not saying I'm gonna vote for them. I'm not gonna 476 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 2: say I mean, they ain't about saying, we're just acknowledging it. Yeah, 477 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 2: you know. Yeah. 478 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 3: So when I'm thinking about policy, like this is someone 479 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 3: with his experience and running a state and then also 480 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 3: being an asset to the government, the government in a 481 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 3: VP role with the qualities that I have like studied 482 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 3: as a result of this conversation and these lessons with utasks, 483 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 3: it's important. It's not the same thing as saying, hey, 484 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 3: I'm gonna come out with some new wine coolers, I'm 485 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 3: gonna come out with some new crypto right currency type things. 486 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it's not the same. And again they should 487 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 2: not blend. That's why I always tell people when people say, oh, man, 488 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 2: you're doing your dreams or oh yeah this is great. Oh, 489 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 2: I always correct people. What dream? This wasn't no dream? 490 00:24:59,280 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 2: This was what. 491 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:00,199 Speaker 3: Uh. 492 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 2: There's a big difference between career and calling I mean, 493 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,360 Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong with being a career. If you just oh, 494 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,719 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go get my masters, my bachelors, and political science. 495 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 2: After that, I'm gonna run for office. After that, I'm 496 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 2: gonna death. No, you might be great at running at 497 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 2: writing public policy, but that don't mean you're good at 498 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 2: being a servant. We just need you on the team 499 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 2: to write good public policy. Being a servant is selfless. 500 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 2: It is truly putting everything before you have no time 501 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 2: for yourself. That's what a servant is actually supposed to be. 502 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 2: I know there's some confusion with that. It's not something 503 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 2: you learn in school. That's why I say I'm excited 504 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 2: about the class because I do want the science of 505 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 2: it all, But the science of it all doesn't make 506 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 2: me stand there and say, sonya Maycy deserves justice or else. 507 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 2: There's no class that can teach you that. To stand 508 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 2: there with the tenacity and the guts and the gumption, 509 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 2: to stand there with police officers looking at you with 510 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 2: own flying above your head. You don't learn that in 511 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 2: no political science class. Only only God puts that in 512 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 2: your belly. So, but if you can have both those 513 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 2: things to teach other people how to be, support systems 514 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 2: for servants how to be because somebody I can talk 515 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 2: about public policy, passion it all day long, but somebody 516 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 2: needs to sit down and actually write the policy, actually 517 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 2: get the information, actually pull it together. Actually you know, 518 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 2: so everybody has not that I can't do it, but 519 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 2: why not have a jade do it? Because I can't 520 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 2: do it all, so somebody has to master that I 521 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 2: can do it. But why don't have somebody master it? 522 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 2: Let me master what I do you We had this 523 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 2: conversation today. This is about everybody need to master their role. 524 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 2: That's a push. The line is all about master what 525 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 2: you do. It's not a question about can you do 526 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 2: it or not. It's not about do you have the capability. 527 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 2: It's about the capacity. I can do a lot of things, 528 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 2: but what is the where do I where? Where do 529 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,120 Speaker 2: I need to be operating that best serve. 530 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 3: Me? 531 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 2: Are my community or whatever it is that we're pushing. 532 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 2: And that don't mean that everybody needs to do everything, 533 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 2: and don't mean you don't have the talent to do everything, 534 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 2: but where can you serve best? Because this is about 535 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 2: service and that's when people get confused. 536 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 3: It's amazing and your blessing, of course is you're doing 537 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 3: the Holy Side program. But you have already lived and 538 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 3: you have all of the experience.

I really really don't. The good 547 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 2: thing about the classes online it's online with sam Houston University. 548 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 2: So I'm excited about that because I don't have to 549 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,479 Speaker 2: see people because you know, girlud it'll be a mess, 550 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 2: and because people again have to learn this is not 551 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 2: about their personal feelings. And you know, I'll be all 552 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 2: under saying, well, what show me to receipt you're talking about, 553 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 2: because you know, so I'm excited that all I have 554 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 2: to worry about is posted to a discussion board or 555 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 2: you know, we're gonna have some discussions. You know, there's 556 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 2: class recession. They even have some stuff set up with 557 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 2: zooms and presentations and things like that. But I am 558 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 2: glad that I'm not literally in the classroom every day. 559 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 2: And again, let me just say this before we close, 560 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 2: out to those. I remember the time dj ab you 561 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 2: tried to throw some shade about online classes on the 562 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 2: Rivers Club. You remember that when he was like, yes, 563 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 2: a lot of either. Well, first of all, online is 564 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,719 Speaker 2: not easier. Clearly you ain't never been online to know 565 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 2: the difference, because the requirements of having a post four 566 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 2: or five hundred discussion posts to day, to reply to 567 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 2: somebody else, to read the material, to still take the 568 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 2: tell like I don't know what he's talking about. It's 569 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 2: actually much easier to go to class once a week 570 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 2: or twice a week and sitting there and lecture bullshit 571 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 2: your way through if you called on and go home 572 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 2: and have nothing to do but turning a paper online. 573 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 2: The participation part is not easy because it's a part 574 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 2: you literally are tapped in every day in one way 575 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 2: or the other. So I just want to give a 576 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 2: shout out to everybody who's taking a class online from 577 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 2: a university that is still a you know, top university 578 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 2: is not an IVY league, you know, but I am. 579 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 2: I'm not ashamed of sam Houston University. I'm excited about it. 580 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 2: It's a graduate program. I'm taking a jay so that 581 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 2: I can teach civics, you know, at the at the college, 582 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 2: whether it's a community college or university. Very very very 583 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 2: excited about it. So yes, I'm gonna be dragging through 584 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 2: the whole process.

Somebody said with me, put 590 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 2: a five in the chat. I love what I do. 591 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 2: I really do. I love what I do, and I 592 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 2: just if I could do it all day every day, 593 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 2: I really could. I just I just love it. It 594 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 2: brings me joy, especially because I have so many different 595 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 2: demographics that listen to me. So you know, when I'm 596 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 2: doing my lives and I'll be saying, okay, let me 597 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 2: try it this way. Okay for the homies, this is 598 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 2: mean this Okay in a relationship. Okay, y'all know what 599 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 2: this means. Relationship get people every time they always understand 600 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 2: those metaphors because they're like, okay, it makes sense to me. 601 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 2: So I just enjoy it. I enjoy especially online because 602 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 2: it's one hundred and fifty people in the room with 603 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 2: every background, every I don't know who I'm talking to, 604 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 2: so you're able to land points or people get it 605 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 2: very exited about it. So anyway, guys, I guess that's 606 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 2: it for this episode. What you've learned about is servant 607 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 2: leadership and the importance of it and the things you 608 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 2: should be looking for. And again, nothing wrong with a 609 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 2: business person, but I do want you to be mindful 610 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 2: that the servant the person that's the servant. And again, 611 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,959 Speaker 2: if you're not a spiritual person, don't worry about it. 612 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 2: But if you are a spiritual person, if you are 613 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 2: a religious person, if whatever you believe in, I'm a Christian, 614 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 2: whether y'all like it or not, I am. And the 615 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 2: word says that when it's all done and when it's 616 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 2: time to stand before the twenty four elders, ain't nobody 617 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 2: asking about no CDs. Ain't nobody asking about how much 618 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 2: real estate you have. Ain't nobody asking about none of that. 619 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 2: The question is did you take care of the least 620 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 2: of these? So I want people in a serving capacity 621 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 2: that's in charge of the least of these day like 622 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 2: I need you to get that writing public policy debating 623 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 2: being a president or state senator or what you are 624 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 2: literally speaking on behalf of people that don't have health care, 625 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 2: people that don't, people that are in prison, people that 626 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 2: need homelessness, people I don't. This is not the time 627 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 2: where we judge, well, were you able to get five houses. 628 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 2: This is the time to judge are you gonna fight 629 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 2: to make sure people got five houses? Are you gonna 630 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 2: make sure that people have health care? Are you even 631 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,959 Speaker 2: health care for them? Took my business. Somebody asked them 632 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 2: and said, well, if it hurt your business, why are 633 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 2: you still for health care for Because I was willing 634 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 2: to take That's not for everybody, but it was important. 635 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 2: That's what health care. I'm glad that he was able 636 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 2: to get health care through LA health Care. He didn't 637 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 2: have any insurance. That was a rehab for five years. 638 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 2: I know if he had been hurt in Texas, he 639 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 2: wouldn't have never had that amount of rehab. I watched 640 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 2: it with my uncle, who did twenty seven years at 641 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,239 Speaker 2: the City of Houston. They kept him in rehab two 642 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 2: three weeks and sent him on about his way. So 643 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 2: those things matter. I'm concerned about that, So that means 644 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 2: I'm all right, if my business shut down, I went 645 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 2: on and still still found me something else. It was 646 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 2: unfortunate for their employees, But the end of the day, 647 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 2: I would much rather I wish my daddy would have 648 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 2: access to better health care because he would maybe he 649 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 2: would have lived when he said, I'm not gonna go 650 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 2: to the hospital because I'm going home in the morning. 651 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 2: Maybe my mama, who was working at the state at 652 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 2: that time in the faith based in the Faith based 653 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 2: Department of the State of Oklahoma. No, I'm just gonna 654 00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 2: go ahead and go home. They just want an extra 655 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 2: be or her lung collapsed to that stage. She had 656 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 2: full insurance. So yeah, if that means that sometimes the 657 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 2: CEO ain't gonna come out on top, so somebody can 658 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 2: have some health care. Because guess what when I was 659 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 2: a CEO still in my own business and I broke 660 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 2: my leg, I don't have health care. That was thirty 661 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 2: five thousand dollars. That's ridiculous. Of thirty five thousand dollars, 662 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 2: you know, to be able to fix my ankle, where 663 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 2: was that money coming from. That's the first year, that's 664 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 2: Jada's first year of college. So who do you want 665 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,959 Speaker 2: advocating for these things, the people that have been through it, 666 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 2: the people that got the stories to tell, the people 667 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 2: that cleaned out the gutters, the people that know what 668 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 2: they mean to not have health care, the people that know. 669 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 2: To me are somebody just saying well I got four, 670 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 2: five to ten half, Well, you probably ain't gonna relate 671 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 2: to what it means to be homeless. You need to know. 672 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 2: I know what it mean to leave my house with 673 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 2: nothing but the shirt on my back. That's what moves 674 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 2: me through politics. That's what keeps me in politics. The pain, 675 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 2: the pain that turns into the purpose, and not the pension. 676 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 2: This is not a job in a career. Where's the 677 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 2: passion in the pain over pension? 678 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 3: Test its passion over pension. 679 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 2: It has to be that. That has to be because 680 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 2: that's why we aren't getting served appropriately. So that's my message. 681 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 2: All right, y'all, thank you for listening to Shade. Now 682 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 2: you are real time again. We're always learning, always growing, 683 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 2: always you know, trying to figure this out because politics 684 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 2: is all about figuring it out, and things change is fluid. 685 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 2: You know, you can see something one day that next 686 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 2: will be like, oh wow, I didn't really look at 687 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,399 Speaker 2: it that way. And that's really all it is about. 688 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 2: It's just about looking at it through another lens. Politics 689 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,359 Speaker 2: is literally putting on somebody else's glasses and looking at 690 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 2: it through their lens. You don't have to keep them on. 691 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 2: It may give you a headache if you put them 692 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 2: on too long, because it's not your prescription. We know 693 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 2: that they're not for you. But all I'm asking you 694 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 2: to do is put this lens on just for a 695 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,320 Speaker 2: moment and just see it through their lens. Can have 696 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 2: an understanding of what they're seeing. And that's really what 697 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 2: politics is about. You don't have to agree like it, 698 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 2: move forward, just understanding through somebody else's leans. 699 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,879 Speaker 3: I love it and thank you for the lesson as always. 700 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 2: Right for sure, all right, y'all, make sure y'all stay 701 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 2: tapped in a straight shot, no chaser.
