1 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: We have to talk about charity. 2 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 2: The fires are outrageous, The trauma is excruciating, The tensions 3 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 2: are high, the emotions are so frayed, so raw, so tragic. 4 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 2: You cannot understand what people are going with. You cannot 5 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 2: imagine the decimation, the incineration, the ash, the paying mortgages 6 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: on a furnace like it is. It is so outrageous 7 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: that it's immeasurable. It is jarring. One day people had 8 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 2: house pride, the next day they're homeless. This is not 9 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 2: a celebrity crisis. This is not a billionaire's crisis. The 10 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 2: media is clinging to the Paris Hilton Malibu dream house 11 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: model when there are thousands of people who have nothing 12 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 2: that are so in shock and zombies and you just 13 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 2: have to really absorb that. 14 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: And there are. 15 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: I'm just going to say it, I'm just gonna say it, 16 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: there are deceased animals and wildlife everywhere, pets everywhere. It 17 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 2: is it is the financial, the emotional, the physical and 18 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 2: mental health damage that's going to occur after this is 19 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 2: the likes I don't think I've ever seen. It's just 20 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 2: it's not like there's going to be a hurricane. There's 21 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 2: a warning tape up your windows like it's not the same. 22 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 2: And it also and I'm not comparing disasters, this is 23 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 2: not Disasters are not a competitive sport. I've seen the 24 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: worst of hurricanes. They are all horrendous. We are still 25 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 2: in Paradise, we are still in Maui. We are still 26 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 2: in North Carolina, and they've been trolling me, the North 27 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: Carolina people because they too don't like seeing the celebrity 28 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: headlines and they feel like they didn't get enough attention, 29 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 2: and I'm going to give them attention. I just cannot 30 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: be badger right now about a place that I used 31 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: to live in that I know a lot of people 32 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 2: who live in that has tremendously suffered. I have met 33 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: people who have lost five homes among seventeen people. I 34 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 2: have met special needs parents that are out on the street. 35 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: I've met people who've been in four different homes on couches, 36 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: being evacuated back to back. I've met people who have 37 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 2: no they feel they never knew that they'd ever say 38 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 2: I'm homeless. 39 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: They can't say it out loud. 40 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: You're talking to a group of people in a church 41 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: and they have to truly say that they're homeless. But 42 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: they still have to pay their mortgage, okay, and they 43 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 2: have nothing. They don't have a suitcase. And I'm going 44 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 2: to say this. It's not popular. I'll say it until 45 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 2: I'm blue in the face. They need dignity and pride. 46 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 2: Do not give them your old clothes. Do not clean 47 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: out your closet. Dump it off somewhere, because I'm going 48 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: to share you the cold, hard truth. It ends up 49 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: in a dumpster, it ends up in a landfill. It 50 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 2: is Oh, I don't care if you pretend you thought 51 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 2: it was nice. It's a shirt you probably said you 52 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 2: would painted, and you dumped it. You got rid of it, 53 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 2: and it has to be it's not even if it's 54 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 2: even new in tags, and it's not completely organized and merchandised. 55 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: If you have to do it, which I don't suggest 56 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 2: that you do, a you sell it this I do suggest. Sorry, 57 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: If you have to do it with I don't, which 58 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 2: I don't suggest that you do. You have it in 59 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: individual bags that say men's small t shirts, women's sweatpants. 60 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: But don't do it. Okay. 61 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: They don't want old clothes. They used to have nice clothes. 62 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: They don't want old clothes. They want their pride and 63 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: dignity and be strong. We built a warehouse in a 64 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 2: day that's the size of a small costco like structure, 65 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: merchandized organized. It will be filled with every type of aid, 66 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: from pets to babies, to children, to mattresses to building supplies, 67 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 2: to hygiene to socks, to hydration packets, to cups, to beans, 68 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 2: to food, to clothes, to anything somebody would need, to chargers, 69 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: anything somebody would need in a crisis, and we will. 70 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: We will be garnering other people's aid. We did this 71 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 2: for Hurricane Maria. Other people raise a lot of aid 72 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 2: and they don't know what to do with it. They 73 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: get excited. Celebrities are coming to us now, Celebrities that 74 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 2: have raised millions of dollars that don't know what to 75 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: do with it. They will bring it to us because 76 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 2: they trust us. They know that I am a business 77 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 2: person and that we will seamlessly, efficiently economically distribute this 78 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 2: aid and this money. Because go fund me people are 79 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: raising gofundmes and they don't know what to do with it. 80 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 2: They've gotten excited. They want everyone to donate. It's not 81 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 2: as easy to run a charity as it looks on television, 82 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 2: and not everyone is a business person, which means not 83 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 2: everyone's a philanthropist, because philanthropy is business. So if you 84 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 2: ever meet somebody who's touchy feely and not a business person, 85 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 2: a cold, hard business person, I don't mean and they 86 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 2: don't have a heart. And I don't mean that they 87 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: are cold in their bedside manner. I mean you need 88 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 2: to know that they are a business person without any hesitation. 89 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: If someone is not a business person, they are not 90 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 2: supposed to be running your money or your aid, because 91 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: aid is also money. We have now raised approximately twenty 92 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: million dollars in aid and money, and we helped a 93 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 2: group morally by not demoralizing them and talking to them. 94 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 2: I saw this group, I thought I was at a funeral. 95 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 2: I was at a church, and it looked like a 96 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 2: bunch of zombies. It really did traumatize And I sat 97 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: down with them and they were yesterday they had a home, 98 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 2: and today they're homeless. And they did not know what 99 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 2: to do. They did not know where to move, they 100 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 2: didn't know what. I don't mean physically, I mean their bodies, 101 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 2: social security, dialysis, special needs, mental health, physical chronic illness. 102 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 2: They literally couldn't move. And I applauded them for getting 103 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 2: up and advocating for themselves and their families, coming and 104 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 2: doing something that they feel lacks dignity. They're coming for 105 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,559 Speaker 2: what they feel as a handout. And one woman said 106 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: to me, with tears in her eyes, I knew you 107 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 2: would come, and it broke my heart. But I sat 108 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 2: there and I said, you are advocating for your family, 109 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 2: and the fact that you are here shows that you are. 110 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 2: You are a survivor because you did something which you 111 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 2: felt lacked pride, and it has tremendous pride because what's 112 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: going to happen today is A. We're going to give 113 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: you money to stay in a hotel for a week. B. 114 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 2: We're going to give you essentials that you need. 115 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: And they were like, but. 116 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: We have to take things because people are giving things away, 117 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: and what do we do. 118 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: We can't put them anywhere. 119 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 2: I'm like, you don't have to panic right now, because 120 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: you don't have to go to a dumpster filled with 121 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,239 Speaker 2: clothes and pie and pick through. And they all nodded 122 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 2: that it was demoralizing and that they want to have pride, 123 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 2: and that the only thing that they come in here 124 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: with is pride. That's the only thing they have left 125 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: they have not a single item to their name, and 126 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 2: in many cases not pets, and none of their friends 127 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 2: have houses either. And I told them, when people ask you, 128 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 2: and they nodded their heads, what can I do? I'm like, 129 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 2: have a puppet show? What do you think you can do? 130 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 2: I said, you tell them what you need. You don't 131 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: get vague, and you tell them exactly what you need 132 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 2: and how you need it. And there will be time 133 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 2: for you to get the things that you need, because 134 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 2: we're gonna be there for right now to restore your 135 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 2: faith and give you some financial assistance for the rebuild, 136 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 2: the physical rebuild, and also we relocate.

Some of their areas have never ever had 145 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 2: this happen before. It was complete and utter shock. So 146 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,559 Speaker 2: I said, you're gonna take a week, to sleep, to rest, 147 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 2: to take care of yourself, to get yourself together, to 148 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: be there for your family, to be grateful that you're alive. 149 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 2: And then you're gonna pull yourself up fro your boot. 150 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 2: You're gonna connect with this community.

They each told their story. 158 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 2: They wanted someone to hug them. They wanted to know 159 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 2: that somebody cared. They didn't want this to be a 160 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 2: celebrity crisis either. They don't want to be at the 161 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: bottom of the bin where everybody thinks it's billionaires and 162 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 2: then their story is belittled, their story doesn't matter.

That's what 273 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 2: people want to see. That's the opposite of the Kardashians 274 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 2: in the superficial, which is the name of her album, 275 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 2: Fame World. I'm not comparing that to the tragedy that 276 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 2: I've seen with special needs children and poverty stricken people 277 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: who've lost their homes. I'm saying, in the land of 278 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 2: entertainment and in the land of pop culture superficiality, Heidi 279 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 2: and Spencer took the ball and ran with it.

We sent many, many semi trucks 285 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 2: filled with aid thousands of dollars to small businesses. That 286 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 2: being said, it's not the celebrity crisis that's being marketed 287 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 2: as a Hollywood Walk of Fame crisis as this is. 288 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 2: And they are devastated, they are traumatized. They are on 289 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 2: propane lines in the freezing cold weather and they are begging, 290 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 2: and they are enraged by the media that they're ignored. 291 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 2: They feel ignored. So I hear them. I am going 292 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 2: to help them. I Am going to focus on what's 293 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 2: going on there and find out where the problems lie. 294 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 2: Is A state is a federal But most importantly, I'm 295 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 2: going to say to them, please do not badger me, 296 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 2: Please do not troll me. I am thinking about you, 297 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 2: as I've said multiple times, and explain what we've done. 298 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: I am not the federal and the state government. I'm 299 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 2: not the government of North Carolina, and I'm not FEMA. 300 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 2: I am a woman with a child, a business, and 301 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 2: a platform and a very good gift of connecting and 302 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 2: being a messenger and a businesswoman who knows how to 303 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 2: run an operation and strategically delegate what I want. And 304 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 2: I have delegated that I want some attention paid to 305 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 2: North Carolina. And of course it's on my back, and 306 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 2: it has to be my attention because otherwise it won't 307 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 2: get the media attention. So I'm one person, and I 308 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: haven't slept in two weeks, and I got off a 309 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 2: red eye to see my daughter for a kiss and 310 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 2: a hug before she went to school this morning. So 311 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 2: I will do the very best that I can. But 312 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 2: I am only one person, and it is a tragedy 313 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 2: all around. 314 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: It is not. 315 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: Comparing tragedies is not a competitive sport. We cannot compare tragedies. 316 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 2: I can give some context based on other tragedies, because 317 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 2: I've seen many, and I've been all over the world 318 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 2: to see them. But I am proud of what I've 319 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 2: built and what we do.
