1
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: Say, I don't want to ask you a question.

2
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: Real good, let's just keep it real straight shout with

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: no Chason. So I'm gonna get a little bit rougher.

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 2: I'm here for it. Those who really believed in the

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 2: American process, all of.

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 3: Us straight shot no chase with your girl tessel figure

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 3: out on the Black Effect podcast networking all right, straight shooters.

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 3: The Tennessee three topic was such a hot topic that

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 3: I wanted to hear from you, so I hosted a

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: three hour Twitter space with people with the posing views. Now,

11
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 3: no worries, I won't ask you to sit through all

12
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 3: three hours at once, but my phenomenal producer shout out

13
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 3: to Dwayne has broken it down into three parts. We

14
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 3: will be releasing this over the next three weeks. This

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 3: is part three.

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: I want to say Claver made a good point about

17
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: Gabrielle raising the most money but getting at least amount

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: of gold. First of all, I found it when Jenson

19
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: is not doing I'm not talking to Tennis. I'm talking

20
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: to those people who they are insulting me when they

21
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: bring up my voter turnout. I'm proud of getting almost

22
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,919
Speaker 2: five percent of the vote in just six months. Mainly

23
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 2: when I had no money and I was hardly ever

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: on the ground, and I still got a most five

25
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: percent of my voter turnout to come to me. I'm

26
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: always gonna be proud of that. But I do want

27
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: to bring up something that y'all no one has mentioned.

28
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: I raised the second most of the second largest amount

29
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: of donations after James Kiburn, but Cliburn has been in

30
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: office for thirty years. After Cliburn, I outraised all the

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: other candidates who were much better known than me, but

32
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 2: they got more votes than me. Now here's the double

33
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: edged sword of having, you know, being having a digital presence.

34
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: Time magazine, Rolling Stone magazine. They have called me before

35
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: I speak to the other candidates. They have not called them.

36
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: They've I've got the least amount of votes, but I'm

37
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: getting the most attention. So y'all, I'm freaking to the

38
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: next right.

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 4: Okay, So brother, this is myself.

40
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: So this is where I come in and say when

41
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: we talk about bringing attention to the issue, which is

42
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 3: why again I'm not encouraging you not to run, but

43
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 3: I think you would be You would be very well

44
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: suited to be a leader over a pack, a political

45
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: action committee. The things that you're talking about the five

46
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 3: twenty seven, which is bringing the attention, the advocacy, the awareness,

47
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 3: the interviews, the raising, the money. Those are packed things.

48
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: Those are not what candidates need to win. And so

49
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: this is where we keep having the disconnect. I don't

50
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: doubt and again I am all about you know, the

51
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: two thousand people that you got to come vote for you.

52
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: I've never did that, and I've said that publicly. But

53
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 3: if you're not organizing with those two thousand that voted

54
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 3: with you, those two thousand on a weekly basis, spending

55
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 3: the same amount of time that you spend talking to them,

56
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: I'm talking about knowing those two thousands where you're doing

57
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: calls with them, where you're still having town meetings, where

58
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 3: you're doing town where you are engaging them. Those two

59
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: thousand won't turn into four thousand by doing more work

60
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 3: on Twitter.

61
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 4: That's just saying facts.

62
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: Now, what I will say is the activities that you're

63
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 3: talking about brings awareness to the issue. Somebody I made

64
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: this challenge at the rally as well, who's going to

65
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: start the pack?

66
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 4: That's what ADOS is doing.

67
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 3: They have a pack and whether you vet, whether y'all

68
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: like YVET or not, because you damnshold don't like me,

69
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: but I give them credit on starting an advocacy organization.

70
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 3: Somebody has to have a pack, and so a pack

71
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: is what does that. A pack educates, it informs, it

72
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: does advertisement, it does galvanizing around issues. It can do

73
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: Twitter spaces where you actually can get credit for these numbers.

74
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 3: I look at people talking about bad we shoul we

75
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: get our Twitter space to be lit. We got ten

76
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: thousand people listening. What does that mean if it's not

77
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 3: a part of a pack where you can say, hey,

78
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: every year we touch x amount of people. When I

79
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: do the Breakfast Club. Whether y'all like the Breakfast Club

80
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: don't like the Breafast Club, they got the numbers to

81
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 3: show Hey, every month, eight million listeners listen. At the

82
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 3: end of the day, those those numbers have to count somewhere.

83
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: So all the things that you're doing is bringing attention

84
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: that falls under a pack, not under a candidate.

85
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: A candidate has to be talking to your voters, period.

86
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: And that's why I want to say, that's the problem,

87
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: nigga telling I've been doing the role of activists of

88
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: pack of I've been doing too many roles and it's

89
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: actually if it fear with my ability to be a candidate.

90
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 2: And that's what I'm saying. And you, Mitchell, I didn't

91
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 2: know about none of this stuff, y'all packed. I never

92
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: heard of those things. I didn't know And now I'm

93
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 2: realizing and Terse he told me run on a ticket

94
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: with other people. All of that stuff is called infrastructure,

95
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 2: building up volunteers, having phone baking, having packs. South Carolina

96
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: doesn't have none of that, having your own media. And

97
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: that's the problem. I've been doing the role too much,

98
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 2: and I can't be the candidate that I'm supposed to

99
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: be because I'm often I'm often playing as the person

100
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: who's getting the information out there. The problem is I

101
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: put so much investment in educating people about reparations that

102
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 2: I think they don't even realize, Oh, he's.

103
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 5: Runt of office. They do remember being taught about reparations.

104
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: They don't. They forget that I'm a person to whom

105
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: they can vote. A lot of people told me they

106
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 2: liked me. A lot of people told me they will

107
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: vote for me. And I'll how to tell you, if

108
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: everyone who said they would vote me would have shown them,

109
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 2: I would have probably had at least too good two

110
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: thousand votes.

111
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 5: It's a lot of education. Some people called me.

112
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: The day of voting because I give people my number,

113
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: and they said, oh, how do you vote online? I said,

114
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 2: you can't vote on line. They didn't know that. Some

115
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 2: people asked me about who's going to pick me up

116
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: to take me to vote. That's not something that state provided.

117
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: There were so much education, but that's why, that's why

118
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: candidates have to spend one hundred percent of their time

119
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: talking to voters.

120
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 4: And again, and I'm not talking about just you.

121
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: You know, I've had candidates again, and I don't want

122
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: to throw their names out there because I don't want

123
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: to think I'm you know this and them. But I've

124
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: had candidates who have won their state's pre and then

125
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 3: set up here and Danny and Marcus probably know what

126
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 3: I'm talking about, and then got caught up in the

127
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 3: national conversation and forgot about the local votes. And if

128
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 3: they get caught up in a national conversation where they're

129
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: tweeting and having this and that and on TV and

130
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 3: doing punditry and all of that, they're not at the doors.

131
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 3: You have so much work ahead of you to win

132
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 3: as a candidate, especially on a congressional level, all of

133
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 3: your time has to be educating those people that you're

134
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 3: talking about. So you have to decide, Okay, am I

135
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 3: going to be a candidate, a formidable candidate, or do

136
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 3: I want to get into the pack space. And it's

137
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 3: not a it's not discourt because again, I'm all about packs.

138
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 4: I'm all about being the puppet master, not the puppet.

139
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: I feel like this Twitter space, these Twitter folks online

140
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 3: people because even though we having this conversation, guess what,

141
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 3: they're gonna go right after this room into another one.

142
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 3: They're not gonna change. So what I say is the

143
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 3: people in the Twitter space, y'all should be having a pack.

144
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 3: You should be having a pack and a national pack.

145
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 3: That all you do is educate people on reparations and

146
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: find candidates and support candidates and talk talk talk and

147
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,559
Speaker 3: land planes and half scholarship and half thesis and half

148
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 3: fellowship and all that.

149
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: That's what packs do.

150
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: You're just not getting any credit for your work, so

151
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: it's not going to be respected in spaces where people

152
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: are saying, you know, hey, this is what you need

153
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: to have. I would love for the new Black media,

154
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 3: as they call themselves, where's the pack where's the pack

155
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: the five twenty seven, that's the advertisement that you run.

156
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 3: Y'all spend all this time making these disc records and

157
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: mixed tapes.

158
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: We can be getting money for that andy through our

159
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: office and that I've been asking people about packs. I mean,

160
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: I'm not as well versus some of the infrastructural parts

161
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: as you, but I've been saying some of these same things,

162
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: and I realized it's hurting me because, like you all

163
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: talking to back channel and so people may know that

164
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 2: like I can't be the pack.

165
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 5: I can't be the person who's educating people about.

166
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: Reparations and be the person who is bringing into the

167
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: national conversation and running a low careage.

168
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 3: I just can't do, of course, And that's why we're

169
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: having this conversation to ask who is going to raise

170
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: their hand to do it? And if they're people don't

171
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 3: want to raise their hand to do it, then again

172
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 3: it goes back to what I say, no begging, no bossing.

173
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 3: Marcel has to decide where am I going to spend

174
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: my energy, because just like you're saying, don't beg them

175
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 3: and replace them, you're begging these folks on Twitter if

176
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 3: they don't want to get involved. And don't nobody want

177
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 3: to raise their hand to get no pack, And don't

178
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: nobody want to run for office. You're doing just the

179
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: same thing you're telling everybody else to do, which is begg.

180
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: You're begging.

181
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 4: At some point, somebody's gonna have to run.

182
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 3: I because you're an educator like I am, both teachers education,

183
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 3: that's our background.

184
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 4: I believe that you are very good and educating, no doubt.

185
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: I would like to.

186
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 3: See you in a pack roll and build that up

187
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 3: and then if you want to run whatever. To be

188
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 3: honest with you, brother, I see you more as a

189
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 3: pack leader opposed to candidate, because you know, cussin folks

190
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 3: out and telling bitch fuck you and all that. I

191
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 3: don't know how far they go, you know, on the

192
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 3: candidate end, but hey, I'm here for it. But I

193
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 3: think that a pack is strong, and I think that

194
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 3: this online community could have to have a hell of

195
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 3: a pack. And all the things that you guys are

196
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 3: doing are pack related. We're add a joke about your

197
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 3: call because I saw you to tell somebody be as

198
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 3: fuck you the other day, and again Eric Mays does that.

199
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 3: He say fuck you all the time, but he'd been

200
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: in an office for ten years though he got his seat.

201
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 3: So at the end of the day, candadas do things

202
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 3: different than on the pack level, and you can't be

203
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 3: all those things. You're right, you can't be the activists

204
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: and you can't be the candidate.

205
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 4: Those are too total.

206
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 3: Different rolls, too total different rolls. So you have to

207
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: decide at some point, hey, what am I gonna be?

208
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 3: Am I gonna be over here? Am I gonna be

209
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 3: over there? And then as you get the infrastructure, as

210
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 3: you decide, then you're gonna have to do the activities

211
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 3: of what those things do. And I'm just telling you

212
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 3: that you have so much work ahead of you that

213
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 3: all your time has to be spent on your actual

214
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 3: botus because these people can't do shit for you. But

215
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 3: other than a funk give a dollar or two, but

216
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 3: I've raised plenty. Candidates can win when you knock on

217
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: enough doors. You can win without the money, especially at

218
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 3: a local seat. Now maybe not congressional, but certular local seat.

219
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 3: You absolutely can't. If you're my candidates that I run,

220
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 3: they start from seven am before the dunk, before daybreaks,

221
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 3: all the way to seven.

222
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: O'clock knocking on doors.

223
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 3: Running for office, you have no time, no energy to

224
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 3: be educating folks who don't live in your district. It's

225
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: just it's not gonna So if you got two thousands

226
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 3: without all of those things, imagine where you're in it.

227
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 3: Because I believe that when you talk to people one

228
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 3: on one, people will hear your message.

229
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 4: They will, But if they if you ain't.

230
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 3: Talking to a one on one, they're not gonna never

231
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 3: hear your message because these people on Twitter, they're not

232
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: gonna do it. But you are gonna get those interviews.

233
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 3: But is it about the interview or with the interviews,

234
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 3: don't don't get people to the polls. Just like yard

235
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 3: signs ain't voting. You got to get people to vote

236
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 3: for you. And you're only gonna do that by having

237
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 3: those one on one meetings in your town. Even when

238
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 3: you feel it ain't worth it, you still gotta do it.

239
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 3: Or go ahead and get the packs. It's clearly people

240
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 3: follow your leadership. They damn show I ain't gonna do it.

241
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 3: Start a pack and start your power there. Organize there,

242
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 3: get these people to get busy, let them donate there.

243
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: Guess what you can pay yourself a salary you can

244
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 3: pay other people, say pay some of these people that's

245
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 3: sitting up here all day long being digital content managers,

246
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: because that's what y'all doing to host these twitch Twitter

247
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 3: spaces and pay somebody to be a digital content manager

248
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: where now you're putting out content.

249
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: And actually showing the work.

250
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 3: But somebody got to make a decision at some point

251
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 3: because this ain't it?

252
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 4: Do I need to raise my hand and speaker it is.

253
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 6: I am reparational family, and I was talking to myself

254
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 6: on the back channel. You know, I've been thinking about

255
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 6: running for a city council and my city years ago,

256
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 6: I was asked to run mayor from my hometown, and

257
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 6: you know, I just really didn't know. I really don't

258
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 6: know how to do it. I started doing a little digging,

259
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 6: and you know, I still don't really know. So I

260
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 6: think that you know, there should be you know, I know,

261
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 6: tesling you offer it. You know, there should be more

262
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 6: courses of classes or room spaces something to help the

263
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 6: people who do want to run.

264
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,280

311
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 6: up and make it happen. I just like I said,

312
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 6: I just need I just need to just tell me

313
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 6: what to do, just you know, should give me some

314
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 6: direction or whatever. Some God and some support and I'm

315
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 6: I'm gonna make it happen.

316
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: Well, am I not testifiedly want to say something, but

317
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 2: we'll be talking backtown. And by the way, y'all, I

318
00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 2: Am was was instrumental in helping with the black farmers,

319
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 2: Courtney and Nicole Millory, who will being terrorized out there

320
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: in Colorado. Thankfully there's an update on that, y'all. Things

321
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: have gotten much better for that. I mean, they're not

322
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: out the woods yet, but they have our brothers, our

323
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: brothers especially, but our sisters too out there are with

324
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: them covering to keep them physically safe, and they're working

325
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: on some other things that I can't talk about in

326
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: the public. But i Am was on the phone like

327
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: she knows. We were on the phone for hours one night,

328
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,239
Speaker 2: midnight beyond midnight with the NAACP over there and Colorado

329
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: and those two poor ladies have to represent what Colorado.

330
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 2: I only Idaho Montana like that major massive area.

331
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 5: But so you can come over to South Carolina when

332
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 5: we do.

333
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: When I get telling them here for to push the

334
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: mind training, I'm gonna talk to tell us about what

335
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: I need to do to seement people who say they're

336
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: gonna be there like, dude, they like what they need

337
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 2: to do, so we can get it seement to that

338
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 2: they can actually put some stake in the game and

339
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: show up. But we'll talk and tell I'm not sure

340
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: if you want to say anything, but that's all.

341
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 6: Absolutely Like I said, you know, you know people who

342
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 6: want to run and are willing to do it. You know,

343
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 6: they're the ones that you know, need to be sat

344
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 6: down and say, hey, listen, let us help you, and

345
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 6: rarely just support around you. You know, whether I'm trying

346
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 6: to run or whether I just want to support. You know,

347
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 6: I'm just here for my people, always been for twenty years,

348
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 6: and I'm going to continue to do so. You know,

349
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 6: I'm willing to, you know, throw my skin in the

350
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 6: game and see what I could do on my neck

351
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 6: of the woods to make things shake fuss.

352
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you for that.

353
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 3: And I'll just give some clarity, and just clarity says

354
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 3: you don't have to have degreens. You don't have to

355
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 3: have I've had candidates, one of my favorite candidates, you

356
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 3: guys have probably heard me talk about a commission of

357
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 3: Regina Hills. She was arrested twenty one times with two

358
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 3: cocaine felons and we won the very first time with

359
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 3: two thousand dollars in the bank, be the sixteen year incumbany,

360
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: and she's won three times ever since. The reason why

361
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 3: is because can't nobody beat her on the ground period.

362
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 3: All of her time is on the ground knocking on doors.

363
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 3: Want to bring some clarity to the class again. It's

364
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 3: called push the line of politics until something happens. Several

365
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 3: people here that have been to the class that we

366
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 3: hosted in Atlanta with three hundred people all around the country.

367
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 3: It is a class that just basically is five courses

368
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 3: that gives you just the basics that you need. You know,

369
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 3: roles and responsibilities, organizing, campaign compliance, campaign management. It is

370
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 3: not a class that is teaching you how to run

371
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 3: on reparations.

372
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 2: It is not a.

373
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 3: Class teaching how to run on healthcare reform. It's no

374
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 3: agenda at all. That's not what the class is designed for.

375
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: It's a basic toolkit that you need. It also is

376
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 3: not teaching you how to run as a Democratic Republican.

377
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 3: When I'm hosting that class, I don't even really tolerate

378
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 3: those conversations at all.

379
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: We try to keep the main thing the main thing.

380
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 2: These are the tools that.

381
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 3: You need and whether you want to organize to get

382
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 3: everybody to wear purple shirts on Monday or reparations or

383
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:50,479
Speaker 3: whatever you believe in.

384
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: Here's a good starter kit. That's what it is.

385
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 3: But I also want to speak on the former you said,

386
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 3: you know, we need candidates to give the tools and

387
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 3: also get around them. I want to be really clear

388
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 3: about this. My class is a class. It is not

389
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,239
Speaker 3: a because see, I know how Twitter space. I know

390
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 3: I don't watch y'all enough, not you, but in general,

391
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 3: I don't watch enough of these Twitter games, real housewives

392
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 3: of Twitter to know how folks get down on this

393
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 3: Twitter space. So I want to be crystal clear that

394
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 3: anybody that come to this class, you can come to

395
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 3: this class with somebody that's gonna run against you. I

396
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 3: am not, let me repeat, not going to be fundraising

397
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 3: for candidates or promising that I'm going to do advertisement

398
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 3: for you, are supporting you. I'm not attaching myself to

399
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 3: anybody's candidacy. I'm not because what's not going to happen

400
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 3: is me picking a candidate and you running me down

401
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 3: on Twitter about why did I pick them?

402
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: And you shouldn't have picked them. I don't do that.

403
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: This is a class for anybody that wants the information. Now,

404
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 3: you should be sitting next to somebody in the class

405
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 3: that is willing to be your campaign manager, that is

406
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 3: willing to be because this class is for candidate. It's operatives,

407
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 3: meaning you want to work on a campaign, whether that's

408
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 3: paid or not paid, whether that's a campaign manager, field manager,

409
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 3: or an organizer. An organizer means hey, I'm just gonna

410
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 3: be the one that's gonna get people to come to

411
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 3: a rally. I'm gonna be the one that's gonna help

412
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: people come, you know, to a house party. I'm gonna

413
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 3: be the one that's just gonna be out of talking

414
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 3: about reparations. These tools I give you will help a candidate,

415
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 3: an operative or an organizer, and then you're gonna take

416
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 3: those tools and you're gonna put those tools to work.

417
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 3: And the first thing you do with that is get

418
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 3: you a team, and hopefully it'll be somebody from this

419
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 3: class that is willing to work with you, and then

420
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 3: you're gonna go out and do the work. So I

421
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 3: want to be clear because I don't want to sell

422
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 3: no dreams. I'm not doing this to all of a

423
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 3: sudden get behind candidates. I think some of you need

424
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 3: to start a pack and you need to get behind candidates,

425
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 3: but that's not what I'm doing. I'm coming to give

426
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 3: you the information. You take that and you run with that.

427
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 3: Does that make sense because that will be putting me

428
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,239
Speaker 3: in position to choose one candidate over the other. And

429
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 3: then you know, y'all never satisfied. You said you was

430
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 3: gonna do this, and why you didn't do this and

431
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 3: you should be happy, y'all and already came in me

432
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 3: for that.

433
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 4: Why you ain't talking about such and such on the

434
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 4: breakfast club.

435
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 3: Y'all don't run me and you never fucking will excuse

436
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: my French, but I want to make sure we're clear

437
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 3: before we even you know, go that go that route,

438
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 3: that this is the tools that you can use.

439
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 2: And that's that's it.

440
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 3: I can't get myself in a position where somebody thinks

441
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 3: I owe them something or that I made them a promise.

442
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 3: I just can't do that because I know us and

443
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 3: I know we're never going to be satisfied, and I'm

444
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 3: not gonna attach myself to every and anybody because problems

445
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 3: come with that. So I'm willing to give the information

446
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 3: and if that's not good enough for folks. I don't

447
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 3: know what it is. I can't do the job for you,

448
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 3: but I can give you at least, you know, the

449
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 3: starter kit, you know, to keep going. But I hope

450
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 3: some of you start to pack though, for real, because

451
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 3: that's where packs come into play. Packs are supposed to

452
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 3: come into play, to actually rally behind candidates. I'm just

453
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 3: giving the information because I know a lot of people

454
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 3: don't know the basics, you know, just the basic stuff

455
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 3: you need. But then after that you're gonna have to

456
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 3: hustle and put put you know, put it to work.

457
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 4: I can't do the work for you. Is that fair, amen?

458
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: Sense?

459
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 6: You know, I'm I'm just a booso on the grounds

460
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 6: type of person.

461
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: You know.

462
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 6: I partake in social media, of course, because at this

463
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 6: point you kind of don't have no choice. But I

464
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 6: prefer to be out there with the people. And I

465
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 6: just feel like, you know, we all obligated to do something,

466
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 6: and you don't have to do something like you or

467
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 6: Marcel or anybody else, but you know, just just do

468
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 6: your part, Just play a part so that you know,

469
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 6: our children, our grandchildren have a future in this country,

470
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,479
Speaker 6: in this world, and get up out of the situations.

471
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 2: That we are in and so you know that's where

472
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 2: I want to I want and do. I'm just gonna do.

473
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 3: Okay, So I want to speak to this when you

474
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 3: say I'm online because we don't have a choice. Now,

475
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 3: we got a choice because there's a city council meaning

476
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 3: every week, there's a county council meeting every week. Like

477
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 3: when Gary James, whether y'all like him or not, when

478
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 3: he went viral, that was at a city council meeting.

479
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 2: So we got a choice.

480
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that speaking from it, saying it

481
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 3: based on what I What I do online is very

482
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 3: comfortable for people, that's all. It's comfortable because we can

483
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 3: sit here on Twitter space and sit here and not

484
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 3: in our pajamas, are half naked and eating and smacking

485
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 3: in the phone and you know, putting them on mute

486
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 3: button and doing everything.

487
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 4: It's comfortable for people.

488
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 3: So no, we got a choice because see, when you

489
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 3: go down to the local council meeting, you got to

490
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 3: actually put your name, tell them figure o. They can't

491
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 3: put hot Dog eighty five ninety two and sit behind

492
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 3: an avatar. So no, it's a choice. It's a choice

493
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 3: to get involved on the local level every single day.

494
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 3: People just don't do it. I wasn't saying in that capacity.

495
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 6: I know I never just you know, just in general,

496
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 6: but oh yeah, I go to my city council.

497
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 3: Oh no, not to I'm talking to anybody that's listening,

498
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 3: because they like to use online.

499
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 4: As you know, I don't have no choice.

500
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 3: I'm the only community that believe that that you know,

501
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 3: that listens to, you know, agrees with me, is online.

502
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 3: And so they come online, get complacent because they're talking

503
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 3: to an echo chamber, you know, where everybody's that's right,

504
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 3: you tell them amen, because it's hard for them to

505
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 3: go out in the local community and have the necessary conversation.

506
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 3: So some people use online as a coping mechanism as

507
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 3: a way to avoid those tough conversations in person.

508
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 2: That's all.

509
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 4: I don't mean you in general, just to anybody that's listening.

510
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 3: And that's why people stayed in the Twitter spaces twenty

511
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 3: four hours a day because it's much easier to just

512
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 3: you know, be with your echo chamber and compare scholarship.

513
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: And I read this book in page twenty nine said this,

514
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 3: and hold on, hit the UW button. You forgot tobut

515
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 3: page thirty six and oh no, you don't have your scholarship.

516
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 3: I read such and such and on page forty five

517
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 3: and said this, The council meeting is on Tuesday. Who'shown

518
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 3: up to the council Meeting's probably five people at best.

519
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 3: That's where the power.

520
00:23:46,280 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 7: Is, Okay, I think, miss l thank you when I

521
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 7: tell you test one.

522
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: I'm so glad.

523
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 7: And I've been to your training for push the line

524
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 7: for organizing because I love it. That's like my area,

525
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 7: that's my spot. I love helping to put it together,

526
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 7: get behind the candidates, like I support Marcel's campaign.

527
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 2: As well as tamayor Shiley.

528
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 7: We was up all night collecting money just so that

529
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 7: she can't get but like you know, just transportation to

530
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 7: get her to certain places when she was on a

531
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 7: campaign trail. And not only that, helped out with a

532
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 7: lot of different things, helping out with stuff right now.

533
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 7: But more than more importantly, I'm working to get things

534
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 7: done locally. I keep yelling to the top of my lungs.

535
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 7: I hear everybody got a lot of talk. Get the

536
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 7: hell out here and find out what your local representatives

537
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 7: are doing. Because here in Maryland they slid two reparations

538
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 7: meetings behind our back.

539
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: We didn't. It was hard to find some.

540
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 7: Thank God for Brother Maroon who got the one because

541
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 7: they kept giving us misinformation. Big ups to the people

542
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 7: who helped us because we just actually a couple of

543
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 7: weeks ago we finished the bills and we're trying to

544
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 7: push to get a in our state the emergency meeting

545
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 7: because they put they put our bill out like three

546
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 7: or four times and then they host these meetings that

547
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 7: are nothingness just to hear us talk because they know

548
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 7: we like to talk. Stay Maryland, and I wish I

549
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 7: did have the time to vote run for office. I

550
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 7: said maybe one day in the future, just not right now.

551
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 7: But so so hold on systems. So see that as

552
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,239
Speaker 7: an example. And I don't mean to cut you out,

553
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 7: but again these Twitter spaces love talking about like the

554
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 7: bills and the task right and see it all come

555
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 7: down to if the bill was able to move forward,

556
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 7: who is going to vote on it? That you know

557
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 7: African and for that Tesla, we actually been reaching out

558
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,719
Speaker 7: to the people who supported the original bill. Those were

559
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 7: the first candidates that we were reaching out to for

560
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 7: this bill. So that's actually who we're reaching out to

561
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 7: right now.

562
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 2: Are they running.

563
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 7: They're already elected, they're already in positions. Okay, and then

564
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 7: what did they They supported it the first Yep, they

565
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 7: supported it the first time.

566
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 6: Okay, good.

567
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 3: So what you're doing is for folks who don't know,

568
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 3: that's called lobbying. So what she's doing is actually lobbying, saying, Okay,

569
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 3: we're going to reach out to the people that supported

570
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 3: the first time. We're gonna get them to come behind

571
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 3: the second time. That's called organizing and lobbying. So shout

572
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 3: out to you for understanding lobbying. See if I were

573
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 3: to ask some people, well, what did you do? And

574
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 3: I don't want to cut you out, but I'm I'm

575
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 3: trying to make sure I keep bringing back the mechanics

576
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 3: of this that people keep missing. So again going back

577
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 3: to California, since I'm in a reparationist space and everybody's

578
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 3: scholars on reparationists, what I'm saying is, if I were

579
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 3: to asked, who's lobbying in California, because that's what's closest

580
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 3: to the dollar right now, I'm sure everybody would agree

581
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 3: that's the one that's getting the most attention right now. California.

582
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 3: It's great if it can happen in all these other places.

583
00:26:58,600 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 3: But since there's so.

584
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 4: Few that actually believe in reparations.

585
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 3: The people on this call who are listening now, I

586
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 3: hear y'all talking about California all day every day, and

587
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 3: so I want to know again, the question goes back

588
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 3: to who is running in California.

589
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 4: The answer is nobody. Nobody has a candidate.

590
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,959
Speaker 3: We had a brother come up talking about, you know,

591
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 3: what he doing on the county and what he gonna

592
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 3: do and who might run, No dispect to him, but

593
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 3: I cut them off because I wanted to get down

594
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 3: to the answer. The answer is zilt zero. There's nobody

595
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 3: right now in this twitter verse world that is pushing

596
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 3: a candidate that is actually running. Not finna do gonna do?

597
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 3: What's thinking about doing? I've been thinking about it, I'm

598
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 3: waiting on doing it. I ain't thought about it yet.

599
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 3: Bottom line, nobody's running in California. And number two, how

600
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 3: many of you have been lobbying the current elected officials,

601
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 3: which sometimes is a waste of time because their mind

602
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 3: is already made up. But those two things are not

603
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 3: being done. So if those two things are not being done,

604
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 3: then that means that California going nowhere. And if California

605
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 3: don't go nowhere, guess what happens. It's not gonna go

606
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 3: anywhere in Maryland, it's not gonna go anywhere in Tennessee,

607
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 3: it's not gonna go anywhere in these other states.

608
00:27:58,960 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 2: People follow.

609
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 3: And so all of the attention right now should be

610
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 3: on California and making it happen in California. And again,

611
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 3: I didn't mean to cut you off, Sas, but I

612
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 3: know a lot of these other spaces getting to all

613
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 3: of this other stuff about what they ain't not what

614
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 3: they're not, and I just want to keep on asking

615
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 3: where's the California candidate now? And That's where I'm at

616
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 3: because I'm like, even with California people i'm looking at

617
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 3: did not give a real reparations deal.

618
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 7: But this is what happens when we're not in, we're

619
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 7: not present. They get to do whatever they want to do.

620
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 7: They host the conversations the way they want to host it.

621
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 7: Thank god we stayed on California. It's pushing things. We're

622
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 7: not looking for a front, but pushing.

623
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 3: But how is it pushed? So let me ask you

624
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 3: this this and I'm just playing Devil's avocae. How is

625
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 3: it pushing when y'all don't have nobody to vote for.

626
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 3: Oh no, I'm with you on that part. I'm with

627
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 3: you on the book.

628
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 4: But I will know and I and I'm not challenging you.

629
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 3: I'm just saying for the other people listening, because I

630
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 3: want them to know, you're you're not pushing nothing but keyboards.

631
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 3: If you're not pushing some office, you're just pushing lips together.

632
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 3: That's what I want to keep redirecting it to. I'm

633
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 3: not saying it's not important, and I'm not I'm just

634
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: using you as an example, you know, like when you

635
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 3: tell me and thank god we was able to push

636
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 3: it half you ain't got nobody who vote for it.

637
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 3: They're they're sitting back and just entertaining you. Guys, I've

638
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 3: been you.

639
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying.

640
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 3: They just sitting back, like when they say, okay, five minutes,

641
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 3: my problem, next person, five minutes, and then they go

642
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 3: in the back and they laugh because their mind is

643
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 3: already made up. If you don't have a candidate, you're

644
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 3: not pushing nothing but a keyboard. Yes you should make

645
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 3: the comments. Yes you should post and tweet and run

646
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 3: down and make all the disc records and the mixtapes

647
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 3: and all of that. But at the end of the day,

648
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 3: if there's no candidate in California right now.

649
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 2: That you have placed there, not an old.

650
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 3: One that already got their mind made up. I saw

651
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 3: somebody in the comments saying Kamala did run for Senate,

652
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 3: but she ain't running for it now though. If you

653
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 3: do not have a candidate in California right now that's

654
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 3: ready to take the recommendations that people have been hollering

655
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 3: and screaming about, nothing happens. And then people gonna say, see,

656
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 3: that's why don't nothing ever happen.

657
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 6: It ain't.

658
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 3: That's why I don't vote. No nothing happens because you

659
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 3: don't have no candidates. That's why nothing happened. You didn't

660
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 3: send nobody there because all of your attention and all

661
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 3: of your time was focused on making the recommendations instead

662
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 3: of the person that's actually gonna vote on the recommendations.

663
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 3: And two things can be true at the same time.

664
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 3: Both need to happen. But right now, one hundred percent

665
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 3: of the time is talking about the recommendations. Marcus, go ahead.

666
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 3: I know you've had your hand up for a while.

667
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 3: Bok for real guys want to take Tesla. Sure, yeah,

668
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 3: and that was just everybody, just in your local states.

669
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 3: Is so important because it is powerful.

670
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 7: It will actually even help California when more of us

671
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 7: are pushing showing up at our city halls, showing up

672
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 7: in these offices and calling for these conversations with these

673
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,479
Speaker 7: elected officials and telling them what we need, telling them

674
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 7: our demands, showing them the voter base that they're gonna

675
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 7: lose if they don't get what we need done.

676
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 4: This is what we have to do.

677
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,479
Speaker 3: But see they don't care nothing about that though, sis,

678
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 3: Because see this is what I've talked about about a

679
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 3: win number. When you're going to a candidate and saying,

680
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 3: if you don't do what we gonna do, you're gonna lose.

681
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 3: They already know how to get their people to the post.

682
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 3: I'm trying to tell you the game on why they

683
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 3: don't listen to that when if I know my win number,

684
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 3: and we talked about this earlier for those who want

685
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 3: to go back and listen at the beginning, the beginning,

686
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 3: if I know I only need five hundred and fifty

687
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 3: people to go to the post, and you're standing there

688
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 3: telling me if you don't do this, you're gonna lose.

689
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 3: And I know you ain't wanted them five hundred and

690
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 3: fifty people. They don't have to listen to you, and

691
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 3: they're not going to listen to you. That's not the

692
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 3: way to get them to move. The way to get

693
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 3: them to move is I'm going to run somebody against you,

694
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 3: so that now instead of you needing five hundred and

695
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 3: fifty people, now because I put another candidate in the game,

696
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 3: you're now gonna need eleven hundred people. You have to

697
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 3: make them work harder. They don't give a shit about that.

698
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 3: I know people on this internet like to make y'all

699
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 3: believe that, but I am telling you that, yes, that's

700
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 3: a part of it, but I am here to tell

701
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 3: you that does not fear they That's just like me

702
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 3: telling girl of you if you if you don't do

703
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 3: such and such, I'm not gonna you know, me telling

704
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 3: somebody else's man. Hey, if you don't do such and such,

705
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna be a woman. You're not my woman

706
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 3: to begin with. I'm telling you that doesn't work.

707
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 2: They don't.

708
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 3: They literally don't care you're either running a candidate against

709
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 3: them or you're not. But that's because threatening, because threatening

710
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 3: to them that you're gonna look that you're not gonna vote.

711
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 4: They know you're not their voter.

712
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 3: You see what I'm saying. That's why I tell people

713
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 3: spending time talking to the Republican Party, which I know

714
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 3: y'all all agree, they don't give a shit what y'all

715
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 3: talking about on Twitter because you're not their voter. They're

716
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 3: only talking to their voter, and that work from the

717
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 3: Democrat side, y'all, Hey, you don't do this, you're gonna

718
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 3: lose us. They laugh because you was never even a

719
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 3: part of the equation. All they worried about is the

720
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 3: five hundred and fifty people that they need to get

721
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 3: to the polls. They didn't even count you in the equation.

722
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 3: That's what I need people to understand about win number.

723
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 3: It's called win number, and you're not even in the

724
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 3: win number equation. So telling them do this or else,

725
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 3: they already don't count you. So there is no else

726
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 3: but Rennie a candidate against them. That is how if

727
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 3: you're gonna stoke any type of fear, it's.

728
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 8: That right, because you can split the vote and you

729
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 8: can also put them on the defense. Okay, so that's

730
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 8: the thing, like not voting, and like I tell people,

731
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 8: everyone knows I'm with that.

732
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 2: Hell no, I'm not voting, not doing nothing for me.

733
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 2: But you can't stop there. We already don't vote. They

734
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 2: are they actually sometimes they're glad to hear you're not

735
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 2: gonna vote, because that just makes it easier for them

736
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,959
Speaker 2: to get in. But when you say I'm gonna run

737
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 2: a cannon to gets you and make them have to work,

738
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 2: and now they got to defend themselves against the message

739
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 2: of pushing that different.

740
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 3: Right, totally different, because you're gonna be invited to the debates,

741
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 3: the newspaper's gonna have to ask you your opinion instead

742
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 3: of just them, or they'll be biased. That is that's

743
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 3: where the power is, guys. There's no way around it.

744
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 3: And I appreciate uh, mister Zell and everybody else saying,

745
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 3: you know, you gotta do this locally, and see that's

746
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 3: let's let's let's.

747
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 4: End this excuse right now.

748
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 3: I want to help everybody with this right now, because

749
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 3: what they'll say, Marcelle.

750
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 2: Is I'm doing it local.

751
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 5: I'm doing the work.

752
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 2: No fuck that.

753
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 3: Everybody that's listening to this right now, you need to

754
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,919
Speaker 3: be finding the California candidate period. Everybody, no matter where

755
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 3: you live, calling every cousin you know in California, Hey,

756
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 3: who you know in California?

757
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 2: Run?

00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:39,240

Speaker 4: There should be Twitter spaces all day? Who are we

761
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 4: recruiting in California?

762
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 3: If you keep giving people these other things that they

763
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 3: can make up and saying what they doing at home,

764
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 3: it gets them distracted. Right now, let's war about Let's

765
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 3: see what we can do California. Let's see what we

766
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 3: do California. I want to see what we can have

767
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 3: on California. I don't want to hear about, well I'm

768
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 3: doing it in such and such town. I'm I'm I'm

769
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 3: on the ground. Okay, how about all hands on decks

770
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 3: on Cali? Fort y'all said that the rally last year.

771
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 3: It ain't happen yet. Let's see if you really can

772
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 3: put all hands on deck on California.

773
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 4: What about that?

774
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 9: Hey, tiers, I respect that question, but I want to

775
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 9: put this. I don't want to go on a tang

776
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 9: or anything like.

777
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: Let's let market speak. Use he's been having connectivity issues

778
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 2: and while we got them, these don't speak.

779
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 10: Market's go ahead, as Danny, what's up y'all with her family.

780
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 2: Very basically, I got two things.

781
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 10: The first thing isn't don't talk about it unless you're

782
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 10: going to be about it. I hated running for office,

783
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 10: but it was necessary for me to do it because

784
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 10: my voice wasn't being heard. And at the end of

785
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 10: the day, working behind the seasons of politics doesn't make

786
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 10: you a candidate. And I was working behind the scenes

787
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 10: for years in politics. But I decided to run because

788
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 10: it was time for my beliefs. And I'm a reparationist,

789
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 10: and hell, I got ostracized from the top people in

790
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 10: the country for trying to make reference ration is a

791
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 10: thing when it wasn't the thing, right, So I hear

792
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 10: a lot of people talking about what they should be

793
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 10: doing and pointing at the other a whole lot instead

794
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 10: of playing within themselves. I've been asked to run recently,

795
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 10: and this is the most busy point in my life.

796
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 2: I've been asked to run for mayor of my town

797
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 2: that I live in and.

798
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 10: I and I'm seriously contemplating it because there's no one

799
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 10: else that is running.

800
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 2: For this office. And this this this white boy that

801
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 2: runs my city.

802
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 10: He he is literally been the mayor of this town

803
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 10: for twenty years straight up Republican and a majority black

804
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 10: and LATINX district with a minority white population and votes

805
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 10: against everything that that that our community needs for years now.

806
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 5: And it's a.

807
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 2: Five hundred five hundred, Like five hundred.

808
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 10: And seven is the wind number, right, Like you need

809
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 10: five hundred and seven votes from the researcher I did

810
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 10: to get to be to become the mayor of this

811
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 10: town and actually change things. So that's the reason why

812
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 10: I'm thinking about it, even though you know, let's this

813
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 10: betrayal that takes a lot of time and effort, and

814
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 10: I'm in a different venture right now needed whether that's

815
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 10: said or not. If I don't run, I'm going to

816
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 10: find somebody to run myself for the mayor of this town,

817
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,399
Speaker 10: because it's an easy thing.

818
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,919
Speaker 2: You can make an idiot.

819
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 10: When the highest level of office, I mean a slick idiot,

820
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 10: a smart idiot, but an idiot, and still won a

821
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 10: presidency and that happened because he ran and people around

822
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 10: him surrounding him with a campaign mechanism that literally made

823
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 10: him get fifty percent plus one vote. That's all you

824
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 10: really need to win. That's my first point. My second

825
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 10: point is real simple, I want to go back to Tennessee.

826
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 10: I posted it in the chat. Everybody in America, every

827
00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 10: black person in America, can affect races if we decide

828
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 10: to dedicate ourselves to the bottom line, right, and Tennessee

829
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 10: has companies that they trust to pay their taxes, that

830
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 10: is the bottom line. We need to look at these

831
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 10: companies that are in Tennessee and boycott they asked. And

832
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 10: the reason why I say boycott them is very simple.

833
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 10: It worked in Arizona, It's worked throughout history because the

834
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 10: one thing that these folks who are against us worship

835
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 10: is cash. It's funding is their bottom line. And every

836
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 10: single company, every single company has a budget that they

837
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 10: put towards lobbying, right, And if they don't have that

838
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 10: money to put towards the budget of lobbying, then they're

839
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 10: going to realize real quickly what.

840
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 2: We need is not getting done. Right. Same thing with

841
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 2: what Tesla said in California.

842
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 10: Right, if we all put our collective minds into finding

843
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 10: someone we know in that big ass state that just

844
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 10: is willing to run, there's so many resources, even on Twitter,

845
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 10: cap ass, there's so many resources that we can utilize

846
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 10: to run that person and win an office. But we

847
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,720
Speaker 10: have to be dedicated as a people. We have to dedicate,

848
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 10: dedicate more than more than just talking about it.

849
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 2: And that's actually being about it. Talking about it is

850
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 2: a Twitter post.

851
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 10: Being about it is I got a homie that lives

852
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 10: in South and Compton. I got a homie that lives

853
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 10: in Sacramento. I got a friend that I think will

854
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 10: be perfect in San Diego wherever you are, Like, run

855
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 10: that person. And we know a lot of people, doctors, lawyers,

856
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 10: trash men.

857
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 11: Thugs, niggas who niggas who don't who really don't do

858
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 11: anything for a living, can win a win office in

859
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 11: the Year of Allower twenty twenty three because there can

860
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 11: be a mechanism behind them that if we fund them,

861
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 11: if we get door knockers there, it can really really happen.

862
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: So don't just talk about it, Please be about it

863
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 2: across the board.

864
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 10: And my suggestion for tendency is really basic, like we

865
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 10: need to look at the companies because they don't give

866
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 10: a damn about our words. They only care if we're

867
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 10: voting and if we're stopping them money.

868
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 2: How am I please? Well?

869
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 3: And I want to say this because I know Danny

870
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,240
Speaker 3: gonna say you know, I hear that test and basically

871
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 3: gonna say, we need people doing this everywhere. And I

872
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 3: stand again on what I said. It ain't but less

873
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 3: than two hundred people in this damn room. So it's

874
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,879
Speaker 3: not just to be no two hundred people running into

875
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 3: all these various cities. You got to make for those

876
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 3: of you to have children. I have a teenager. Put

877
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 3: a thumb up if you have a kid. If I

878
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 3: tell my child to clean the kitchen, she does everything

879
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 3: to procrastinate doing every damn thing else. We'll clean the kitchen. Oh,

880
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 3: I did the living room. Oh when a minute, I'm

881
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 3: getting ready to do this. Oh, I'm just that I

882
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 3: told you to clean the kitchen. I understand what procrastination is.

883
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 3: And a lot of times people use I'm doing something here,

884
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 3: and we don't know what the hell they're doing. I'm

885
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,919
Speaker 3: putting that one damn simple homework assignment that I ask

886
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,240
Speaker 3: at the rally. Who is running in California.

887
00:40:59,280 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 2: That's it.

888
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 4: This ain't the call about boycott, and I appreciate that.

889
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 3: Markets, but I don't need to give nobody else no

890
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 3: other reason other than this one damn home. Let's see

891
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 3: if we do this one homework assignment, one homework assignment.

892
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 3: Who is running in California?

893
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 4: Not tend to see? Not over here, not at Arkansas.

894
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 3: That's great, y'all do that, and other I want to know,

895
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 3: because I asked this in September, who's running in California.

896
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 4: And the answer continues to be nobody.

897
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 3: The reason why I'm saying that with this space, Danny,

898
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 3: is because this space, these folks who are in this space,

899
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 3: and I know because I'm scrolling and looking at all

900
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 3: of y'all, and I'll be in all these spaces looks

901
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 3: listening to y'all talk about the California Task Force. But

902
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 3: I ain't heard nobody talking about who they supporting to

903
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 3: vote for the California Task Force recommendation. So this is

904
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 3: a simple homework assignment for one hundred and fifty people.

905
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 3: I want to see if you can do it. When

906
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 3: you give people too many options, Danny, they do too

907
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 3: many other things. I want to know who's gonna run

908
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 3: in California. Let's see if anybody can do if the

909
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 3: reparation is, if the scholars can do that, and then

910
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 3: after that maybe we can talk about everything else. But

911
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 3: it can't be continued to be these other excuses, Well,

912
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 3: I ain't doing that, but I'm doing this. Notice the

913
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 3: conversations are very similar every time we bring Oh, no,

914
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 3: I was gonna run, but I can't because of this,

915
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,439
Speaker 3: So I thought about it because it is or Oh

916
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 3: I be doing this though over here, but I don't

917
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 3: be doing that like the other brother. Oh no, no, I'm

918
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 3: not running, but I'm actually doing this. No, Who's gonna

919
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 3: run in California?

920
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 2: For this?

921
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 3: I'm talking to the Californian reparationists in the building of scholars.

922
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 3: These are the people that be talking about California ree

923
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 3: race has for it. So I'm trying to make sure.

924
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 3: I want to make sure they hear it clearly. Are

925
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,080

Speaker 12: I'm gonna fight you.

971
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 2: You know past. That's because I know.

972
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 4: What I'm trying to say it.

973
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 2: I'm saying.

974
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:11,839
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is but the government. But you got

975
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 3: you got the state of serrectly. Hold on one second,

976
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 3: you have the state Assembly as well. And what I'm

977
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 3: my point, what I'm trying to make is nobody's willing

978
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 3: to run for anything.

979
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 2: So everybody, everybody, though, is an expert. Everybody can tell

980
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 2: me what I'm doing wrong or what I should be doing.

981
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 2: But I tell people, if I'm doing something wrong, show

982
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 2: me how it's done so and that's the PROBLEMSS. And

983
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 2: every time you ask the question about who's gonna run

984
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 2: or even who's gone up there, every everybody gets quiet.

985
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 2: And let me just say this though, we do need

986
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 2: somebody to run at California, because again, when it goes

987
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 2: to the Congress, they can say, Okay, we will approve,

988
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 2: you know, a Freeman's bureau, but we wan't approve direct

989
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 2: cash payments. And what are we want to do if

990
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 2: we're not the people who are in that position? We

991
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 2: have no voice. So someone really does need to run.

992
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 2: And y'all again, even if you run and lose again,

993
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 2: I'm telling you when I go to these meetings now

994
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 2: I've been I've been involved in here in South Carolina

995
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 2: for at least a year or two or three years.

996
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 2: When I first started, they were not saying anything like

997
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 2: a black agenda. Now I'm not saying it because of me,

998
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 2: but when I'm into Rome, the cams at and before

999
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 2: anybody asks me, I got a black agenda. Seriously, they

1000
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 2: stay in all the time now and I keep valuing.

1001
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 2: I know they weren't saying this before, but now they're like, oh,

1002
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 2: before I know because when I raise my hand they said,

1003
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 2: for anyoney backs, I have a black agenda.

1004
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 13: It really does change things even when we run for office.

1005
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 13: But we run for office and win, we have ancess

1006
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 13: to making decisions that really talking on Twitter is not

1007
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 13: going to have any influence over it.

1008
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 3: And even if you run and you don't win, the

1009
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 3: bottom line is, and I heard somebody say, you know,

1010
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 3: governments from the only one that matters. Okay, true, but

1011
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 3: he has to also report to a state assembly. He

1012
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 3: has representatives and senators under him. And my point is,

1013
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 3: even if you don't feel like that matters, the bottom

1014
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 3: line it what do you think talking on Twitter that's

1015
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,240
Speaker 3: gonna make them do it? So you gotta get closer.

1016
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 3: You got to get a little bit closer to the

1017
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 3: power right now. If you don't have a candidate that

1018
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,399
Speaker 3: you're running in California, that damn show ain't gonna do nothing.

1019
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 3: Talking ain't gonna do nothing either. So where's the person

1020
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 3: that's running and it's not running for governor?

1021
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 2: Somebody got a damn run somewhere.

1022
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 14: I mean, judge, Okay, you know what. I've been here

1023
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 14: for a minute, and so I want to speak about

1024
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 14: something I heard earlier. Have three things I want to say.

1025
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 14: The first question is you talked about someone educating about reparation,

1026
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 14: So I want to know, when educating about reparations, what

1027
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 14: will you cover. My comment is, I think Marcella is

1028
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 14: going to be a phenomenal politician. I think he is

1029
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 14: a great critical thinker, and I think he knows how

1030
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 14: to read the room. I'm in California. I have no

1031
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 14: desire to run to be a politician. I'm building a

1032
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 14: Black party. I'm going to be an influencer. I'm going

1033
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 14: to influence the candidates. I have no interest in being

1034
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 14: a politician. That's what hats off to you, Marcel. And

1035
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 14: if you could cover the information regarding reparation, because the

1036
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 14: fact of the matter is if you cover the proper

1037
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 14: things about reparations, white people will be on board. So

1038
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 14: if someone could tell me, when covering reparations, what would

1039
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 14: you be discussing.

1040
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 2: That's a conversation that else we'll have to have outside

1041
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 2: of this space. But you know, obviously it includes the

1042
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 2: fact that where does reparations come from just the federal government,

1043
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 2: the numbers, how it's going to be beneficial to all Americans,

1044
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 2: even though it's only going to Black Americans. Cents of

1045
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 2: American slaves. But that is kind of a separate topic

1046
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 2: from what this room is about.

1047
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 3: This room, yeah, because again I'm sorry, myself finished. This

1048
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 3: room is about what.

1049
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 2: The room is about, you know, us running for office

1050
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 2: to be able to vote for the damn reparations in

1051
00:48:58,640 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 2: the first right.

1052
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 3: Cause again, judge, I hear what you're saying. And I

1053
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 3: know a lot of people don't like running. But you, guys,

1054
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 3: do you see the pattern that most people come up

1055
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 3: and they say, you know, hey, I either they say,

1056
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 3: you know, that's not for me, I don't want to

1057
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 3: do it, but I'll support anybody to do it, or

1058
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna do it. And there's nothing wrong with

1059
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 3: it because it's not for everybody. But I want you

1060
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 3: guys to notice the pattern that that everybody that comes up, hey,

1061
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:19,359
Speaker 3: you know, I'm going to be the one to do this,

1062
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 3: but we need other people to run though everybody can't

1063
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 3: just be because if you're saying I'm going to be

1064
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 3: the one to influence the politician, well who they are

1065
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 3: going to be the politician? Somebody got to be the

1066
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 3: politician and so and those politicians that don't believe in reparations,

1067
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 3: they're not going to do it, and you're not gonna

1068
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 3: be able to influence them because they're gonna be elected

1069
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 3: by the people that got them elected. And if they

1070
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 3: got elected on a on a platform that's not reparations,

1071
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 3: they're going to adhere to the people that got them elected.

1072
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 3: That how that's how it works. That's why you have

1073
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 3: to have your own politicians. So if you're going to

1074
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 3: start a party, if you're going to start a pack

1075
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 3: when whatever, do well, let me speak to what you

1076
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 3: just said about, because I want to talk about what

1077
00:49:57,920 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 3: I'm gonna finish my sentence.

1078
00:49:59,080 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 15: Though.

1079
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 3: Whatever it is that you start a packed party, whatever

1080
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 3: it is, the bottom line is you'll mean candidates that

1081
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 3: come out of your leadership. That's what I'm saying. So

1082
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 3: the education on what reparations is, who will when?

1083
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 2: In world?

1084
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 3: Why you can pick a Twitter space any day of

1085
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 3: the week. That's all they talk about on this space. No,

1086
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 3: I never hear anything about I never hear anything. All

1087
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 3: I hear about is about freemen and negro But let

1088
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 3: me let me, let me finish. But no one's talking

1089
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 3: intelligently about reparations.

1090
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:32,720
Speaker 4: In the terms of nuisance.

1091
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 14: Let me say this to you, Teslim, I'm about results

1092
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 14: of strategy and getting to and getting getting it done,

1093
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 14: and so to the room, government Newsom is the only

1094
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 14: one can determine on if we get paid or not.

1095
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 14: Governor Newsom expositioned himself to be the president. That's why

1096
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 14: he has then gole this carriage. What you do is

1097
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 14: you call him out on what he is saying. If

1098
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,439
Speaker 14: you put the flashlight on him, but the spotlight on him,

1099
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 14: he will approve reparations.

1100
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 2: That's not true because looking to us, no, listen, real quick,

1101
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 2: they don't seen us dying. We done been in the streets.

1102
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,439
Speaker 2: We have been marching, we have been crying, We've have

1103
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 2: been throwing, turning up in the courthouse because our people

1104
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 2: have been killed. And that is not movvating them to

1105
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 2: do nothing for us. We keep thinking that we can

1106
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 2: show him gaff is what I'm saying, so you can

1107
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 2: know if I'm talking about what you're talking about. Let

1108
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 2: me finish. Please. We keep we keep thinking that we

1109
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 2: can shame these people or even pressure these people. We

1110
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 2: can't pressure them. We can pressure Newsom and to doing reparations.

1111
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 2: You know how you pressure him by running for office

1112
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 2: and replacing the people who can overpower him. Because even

1113
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 2: Governor Newsom can't just really nilly pass legislation. He can

1114
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 2: be beatled by state Congress. Any governor right now here

1115
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:48,760
Speaker 2: in South Carolina, my governor Henry McMaster, the South Carolina

1116
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 2: Congress can veto a bill that he roves. They can he,

1117
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 2: I mean they, That's why it's called checks and balances.

1118
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 2: So he doesn't. He can't will and nilly arbitarially pass

1119
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 2: a bill that really from Congress where he can ve though,

1120
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 2: and sometimes Congress can override a bill that he is supporting.

1121
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 2: So it has three balances. But my thing is it

1122
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 2: really comes from the people who are going to be

1123
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 2: in Congress on the state level on the federal level,

1124
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 2: and shaming them has not.

1125
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 14: Worked shaming him, And so if I can never get

1126
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 14: my thought across, it would be great. I'm trying to

1127
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 14: say something and I always struggle with this. Okay, So

1128
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 14: what I'm seeing, and first of all, I'm out a Democrat,

1129
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 14: and what I see is Newsome doing his strategy. His

1130
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,720
Speaker 14: strategy pant family is for you to have a positive

1131
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 14: and in parents in him. He knows that many of

1132
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 14: us are not well educated on things or don't go

1133
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 14: into depth. So I say anything about shaming him. This

1134
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 14: is politics Joe Biden wants knows. Now you see Joe

1135
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 14: Biden talking about reparations. If you don't know, family, We

1136
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 14: are the decision maker. We decide on who wins and

1137
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 14: who does not win. Governor Needson could give a fuck

1138
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 14: about caliber when you. Governor knew some hat and his

1139
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 14: sight is going to be the president if you put

1140
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 14: him in the spot.

1141
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 4: Okay, see what we're saying is let me finish. No

1142
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 4: we no hold up, hold on, hold up, hold up,

1143
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 4: hold up, losing. I can't even never finish and hold on. No,

1144
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 4: that ain't why we hold on.

1145
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,479
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Wait a minute, because

1146
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 3: see that, wait a minute, hold up.

1147
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 2: This is why.

1148
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 3: Now, Marcel I wanted you to bring up folks because you,

1149
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 3: you know, recognize folks. But let me just say this

1150
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,959
Speaker 3: this and I'll open up the mic. This talk would

1151
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 3: I'm going to open it back up to you. But

1152
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 3: let's just calm down just a quick second, because these

1153
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 3: spaces do a lot of talking. And I know you're saying,

1154
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:40,800
Speaker 3: you know, you're about getting it done and about whatever

1155
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 3: and about shaming him. I'm going to ask you, and

1156
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 3: this is what I what my frustration companies Twitter spaces,

1157
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 3: tell me, besides reparations, this part, this this strategy that

1158
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 3: you're suggesting that we do. Can you give me an

1159
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 3: example of where you've done that and that that's actually worked.

1160
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 2: Did she go, Yeah, I don't see her no more?

1161
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,800
Speaker 4: See and see and this is what see.

1162
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 3: I hear a whole lot of what we're supposed to

1163
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,240
Speaker 3: be doing and what we're supposed to be And again,

1164
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 3: no disrespect to the sister. But this is why I

1165
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 3: don't like these Twitter space because people just get to

1166
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 3: say what and it ain't no disrespect to her.

1167
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 2: But y'all, y'all gotta be real careful. I believe in receipts.

1168
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 3: And when I hear somebody say it ain't about running,

1169
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 3: it's about shaving him and putting the light on them.

1170
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 3: And then I asked, well, have you put the light

1171
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 3: on somebody? And have you seen that work? Because I

1172
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 3: damn show can said I put the light on Bernie Sanders.

1173
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 3: I put the light on Bernie Sandersen.

1174
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 2: Got rid of too black representatives, but let the white

1175
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 2: woman stay and that.

1176
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 4: But again, but let's talk about the receipts.

1177
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 3: Though a lot of times people got a lot of

1178
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 3: good ideas and when I say, have you implemented that?

1179
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 3: And this ain't no disrespect, I'm just time to give

1180
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 3: y'all an example.

1181
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 2: When I say, what have you done that?

1182
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 3: Her answer was I'm getting ready to do it. Since

1183
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 3: y'all like hollering on in phones, her answer was, I'm

1184
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 3: getting ready to start a party. Not I've started one

1185
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:22,839
Speaker 3: and I've done it, but I'm getting ready to What

1186
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 3: happens in the Twitter space is a whole bunch of

1187
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 3: finnough finna do gonna do? Whoever talked the loudest, you know,

1188
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 3: get to say what you don't let me finish because

1189
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 3: because again I don't want to hear the talking. You

1190
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,320
Speaker 3: told me you were about results. You say you're about

1191
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,359
Speaker 3: getting it done with. Where's the party that you're talking about?

1192
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 3: Had you started it? Are you finna do it? See

1193
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 3: that's where it come down. And I know a lot

1194
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 3: of people don't like that when I come with that tone,

1195
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 3: but that's what it's about. That's what it's about. At

1196
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 3: the end of the day, the sister says she getting

1197
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,280
Speaker 3: ready to start the party, but got all the advice

1198
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,720
Speaker 3: on what Marcelle should be doing. He already on the ballot.

1199
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 3: So come back to me when you started. Come back

1200
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 3: to me when you actually start the party that's gonna

1201
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 3: shine the light that you recommending everybody else to do.

1202
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:11,720
Speaker 3: Otherwise you just talk. And that's what this space is about.

1203
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 3: Constant action.

1204
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 2: Where's the action when you're gonna do it?

1205
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 4: If Governor Newsom is the problem, then who you're running against?

1206
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 4: Governor Newsom? Who you're running under?

1207
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 3: Governor you say you got a party. You corrected me

1208
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 3: and said, not a path or party. Okay, you ain't

1209
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 3: started that either. You say you're finna do it. I

1210
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 3: know y'all don't like that because that challenges y'all in

1211
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 3: ways that people don't like being challenged. But that's really

1212
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 3: what it comes down to, Marcela. At the end of

1213
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:44,439
Speaker 3: the day, when are you going to do it?

1214
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 5: Can I talk? Can Can I say something to this?

1215
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 9: All I want to say is like, I'm all for

1216
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 9: getting the you know, new candidates and getting new blood

1217
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 9: the thing. But and as a person like I stick

1218
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:07,399
Speaker 9: primarily to dinferent politics and Southern politics. So if it's

1219
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,879
Speaker 9: outside of those two realms, don't I don't really follow

1220
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 9: it unless it's like national headline news. But I just

1221
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 9: looked on the website, the California Black Caucus has what

1222
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 9: eighteen members have anybody that's in California, even if you're

1223
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 9: not gonna run, have y'all looked into who these eighteen

1224
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 9: members are? And have we already decided that these people

1225
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 9: are not going to be supportive because while we're trying

1226
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 9: to get folks to run and step up to the plate,

1227
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 9: have we looked at what's already there? And if we

1228
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 9: have looked that was already have you already determined that

1229
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 9: these people.

1230
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 3: Will ask I can tell you. I can tell you

1231
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 3: the people on this page. They gonna say everybody was

1232
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 3: a coon. So let's not given up excuse. I want

1233
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 3: to know who running because all of them, everybody ain't

1234
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 3: on the agym, just like you said, every earlyer and

1235
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 3: whatever it is they cooning. Yep, they're not on hold.

1236
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 3: They doing what they supposed to do. They ain't pushing

1237
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 3: black enough. So bottom line is gonna keep on circling

1238
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 3: back to the same thing. Find somebody in California to run.

1239
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:07,439
Speaker 3: I don't need we ain't got time. That's just gonna

1240
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 3: be another excuse, then another excuse. I reached out to

1241
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 3: such and such. Fuck that who's running.

1242
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 2: That's it.

1243
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 3: When you do that, it just allows just like you

1244
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 3: talking about what Justin done as an individual, that just

1245
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 3: opens up the conversation to debate Justin. I want to

1246
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 3: know who is damn running? Marcel talk to these folks

1247
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 3: every day so they he know he say this every

1248
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 3: day and they never answer him. Who is damn running?

1249
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 2: Bottom line?

1250
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 4: What you mean gonna talk to these people for what?

1251
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 4: They ain't fucking with you?

1252
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 2: Ay right? And even if they were, we still need

1253
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 2: more of them.

1254
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 5: That's a right. Let's say I get in Congress.

1255
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 2: Let's say I beat Clive Bumam, and let's say I

1256
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 2: get in Congress. I'm one person. I'm not gonna have

1257
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 2: any power. Just be one person. I can breath, I

1258
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 2: can do in Congress what I'm doing that, I can

1259
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 2: introduce the legislation, I can bring it to natural spotlight,

1260
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 2: and I'm going to go around helping other candidates. But

1261
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 2: I'm we're going to need more of us. So even

1262
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:10,919
Speaker 2: if we had like California, which is not a very

1263
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 2: black state. And by the way, y'all, it don't have

1264
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 2: to be black people running new things for black Americans.

1265
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 2: And by the way, I need Okay, I say this

1266
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 2: all the time too. Y'all know I am fully for reparations.

1267
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 2: I stand on it. People in South Carolina though, the

1268
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 2: MAGA people, they say some of them already recognized me

1269
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 2: as the reparations guy, but they also realize and I

1270
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:33,919
Speaker 2: tell people I have other things on my platform too,

1271
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 2: So you don't have to just run on reparations. If

1272
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 2: you have a district that may have other needs that

1273
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 2: are going to have to serve the needs of the

1274
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 2: people there, you can do that, but don't sell us out.

1275
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 6: For y'all.

1276
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be a black person either. But

1277
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 2: being that it's mainly US Black Americans who are in

1278
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 2: this reparations movement, and this is for our people, we

1279
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 2: should be the ones. So let's say California has eighteen

1280
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 2: black people in Congress.

1281
00:59:58,520 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 6: That's not enough for that.

1282
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 2: So we need more people. So, y'all, even if I

1283
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 2: learn to win, hell, let's say I'll make it to

1284
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 2: the US Senate, we gonna still need more of us,

1285
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 2: far more to actually get things through because I will

1286
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 2: not be one person and be able to get things through.

1287
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 2: I'll be able to put pressure, I'll be able to

1288
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 2: use legislation I'll be able to bring attention, I'll be

1289
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 2: able to use whoever resources I have to help y'all

1290
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 2: run office. But y'all are gonna have to run office.

1291
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 2: Remember y'all. Someone said, well, if this is gonna be,

1292
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 2: you could be one person. You can't do anything. I said, No,

1293
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 2: what I'm going to do is be like Johnny apple Seed.

1294
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna plant seeds throughout this here land and I'm

1295
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 2: gonna watch them sprout. But if the seeds don't sprout

1296
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 2: and we don't have no affles and the seeds are

1297
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 2: people who are wanting to run office, I can't help

1298
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 2: anyone get in office. And if no one running office,

1299
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 2: y'all we have to run. I'm not saying this be insulting,

1300
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 2: but one of the things that make me cringe is

1301
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 2: when people say an organizer. Yes, organizers are very necessary,

1302
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 2: but too many of us are organizers. For what we

1303
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 2: are going right now, we need to be organizing people

1304
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 2: can run for office and the people who are going

1305
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 2: to support the person running for office. That's the ultimate

1306
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 2: manifestation of organizing running office, getting our people to support

1307
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 2: the people running for office so we can get our

1308
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 2: needs addressed where they the problem with unstarted in the government, y'all, local, municipal, state, federal,

1309
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 2: that's where we have to go to ultimately fix the problem.

1310
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:28,920
Speaker 2: And as intelligent and talented as a.

1311
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:30,919
Speaker 1: Lot of you are, a lot of you are doing

1312
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: a real a lot of good work. You're doing so

1313
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 1: much work in your area that you can easily win office.

1314
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 1: With all the work you're doing, it will probably be

1315
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 1: easier to run for office and win and you'll be

1316
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: able to do a whole lot more and having to

1317
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 1: work a whole lot less.

1318
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 2: In reality, the work I see some of you doing.

1319
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 2: To be very honest with you.

1320
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 4: That's it, and I can't and I got to keep it.

1321
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 4: I appreciate Danny.

1322
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 3: You know my brother, he always looking at strategy and

1323
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 3: you know what, have y'all reached out to it all way?

1324
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 3: And because then somebody just say, well, yeah, you know,

1325
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 3: I've been reaching out, I've been doing the work, I've

1326
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 3: been emailing. No, let's do what we can see where

1327
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 3: is the candidate. Let's go ahead and clean the kitchen.

1328
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 3: You know, like y'all say I'm cooking, I'll be in

1329
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 3: her cooking. Y'all be cooking into the space. And ain't

1330
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 3: that what y'all be doing cooking. I'm cooking. Oh he cooking.

1331
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 3: She cooking, Now look at us. She cooking the ribs.

1332
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, wait, hold on, she about to cook the

1333
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 3: macaroni cheese. Oh here come the size. Oh yeah, she cooking,

1334
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 3: cooking and landing planes, cooking and landing planes. Well, who

01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 3: gonna cook up a candidate around this piece?

1336
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 2: That's just it.

1337
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 3: It gotta keep coming back to that, Danny, because this

1338
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 3: is the same group that get talked to over and

1339
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 3: over and over and over by myself. He don't want

1340
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 3: to be sitting up asking people to run. And every

1341
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 3: time somebody get on here talking about we'll see what

1342
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 3: we need to do is da and yelling and hollering

1343
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 3: and screaming in the phone, and the answer is always

1344
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 3: the same.

1345
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 2: Y'all.

1346
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 3: See, it's a pattern of finder, Dude, what's gonna do?

1347
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 3: Was thinking about it, thought of this one where I was,

1348
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 3: but I got other stuff going on. It's the same

1349
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 3: thing every damn time. So I'm trying to figure out

1350
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 3: if the twenty four hour a day scholars can find

1351
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 3: somebody in CALIFORNI you to run?

1352
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 6: Is this a simple question?

1353
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 2: But I see somebody and just what we do someone

1354
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:12,920
Speaker 2: not showing their face or maybe that is them as

1355
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 2: a child, but it's definitely not them now because I

1356
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 2: can just tell by the name and the age that's

1357
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 2: a name that whether that's probably from the sixties or seventies.

1358
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 2: Talking about oh Marcel, he he was promoting Gabriel Piamonte.

1359
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 2: He don't got no right for his First of all,

1360
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 2: I do. Second of all, I'm going to keep doing it.

1361
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 2: Third of all, Okay, you worried about who I promoted,

1362
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 2: you run office. I can promote YouTube if you got

1363
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 2: polity deserving of it. You see, that's the thing, that's

1364
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 2: why you know, Yes, Twitter has been useful for me,

1365
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 2: and you know it's a blessing and a curse. And

1366
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 2: as I'm always struggling to find more balance with like

1367
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 2: you said, I am more and more increasing my president

1368
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 2: on the ground.

1369
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 5: But that's the time waste.

1370
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 2: The stuff that people do, that's that rundown stuff that

1371
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 2: is not going to influence one piece of legislation to

1372
01:03:59,040 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 2: help our people.

1373
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 5: Thinking you're running somebody down on Twitter.

1374
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 2: If you are so saying, well, how Marcel moves, how

1375
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 2: Gabriel moved, then get your ass up and you moved

1376
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 2: to run for office and move to get your name

1377
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 2: in a ballot on a reparations platform, and of course

1378
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 2: you can have other policy.

1379
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 5: See, that's the stuff. I don't like.

1380
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 2: Your quick to criticize what someone is not doing or

1381
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:23,360
Speaker 2: what someone did that you did not like that they did.

1382
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 5: But you are doing a damn thing to get our

1383
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 5: people what we deserved.

1384
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 2: Show me how it should be done, show me what

1385
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 2: I did wrong and how it should happen, or show

1386
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 2: me what not to do that I've been doing. But

1387
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 2: when you say that, those same ones that have a

1388
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 2: word to say, they will tell you. I'm doing things

1389
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 2: my neighborhood all the time. Share a picture, no picture.

1390
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 5: Comes, no picture comes.

1391
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 2: I've said to them, show me a picture, show me

1392
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 2: a picture, show me an email, not one. So I

1393
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 2: need those trolls just be gone, be gone.

1394
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 5: I need it.

1395
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 3: Ain't gonna tell you a damn thing y'all can di

1396
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 3: like when they get you upset myself.

1397
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie. I don't like seeing your set,

1398
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 2: but I do like it when you.

1399
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 3: When you get on one. What y'all not gonna do

1400
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 3: is interrupt myself. That's the damn sure. It ain't a

1401
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 3: damn thing y'all can do about it. Go ahead to

1402
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 3: the base for y'all'n upset myself. Don't y'all upset myself.

1403
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 3: You've been doing good this whole time. Y'all are came

1404
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 3: upsetting myself.

1405
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 2: Nothing more obsessed me than people who are talking, doing

1406
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 2: a whole lot of talking, but not doing any working.

1407
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 2: That's the only thing that obsessed me. And you know,

1408
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 2: the ultimate work that we really need to be doing.

1409
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 2: If we're not running for office, we need to be

1410
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:44,920
Speaker 2: out there recruiting someone in my office, and then we

1411
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 2: need to be supporting that person, because let me tell you,

1412
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 2: I'm getting a good bit of support, but it's not enough.

1413
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 2: And that's not a dig at the people who have

1414
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 2: supported me. I appreciate them and love them for that.

1415
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 2: But like and you already said it, running for a

1416
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 2: congressional race, that's not you know, that's not for the

1417
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 2: faint of heart, and that's not something you win by

1418
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 2: just standing on the street with a megaphone. That's a

1419
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 2: massive amount of time reaching out to people doing event.

1420
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 2: And first of all, in my area, people aren't that

1421
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 2: politically engaged anyway, because you know, Cliber hasn't had a

1422
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 2: challenger in thirty years, Vincey Graham really gets a legitimate challenger.

1423
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 2: So South Carolina has almost rented all as a state

1424
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 2: where people kind of have dynasties or people pretty much

1425
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 2: inherent this seat. Like people rarely challenge a lot of

1426
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 2: the politicians here. So getting people politically engaged, I understand

1427
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 2: that you have an option that of itself is a

1428
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 2: monumental task. But also the getting people the apathy that

1429
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 2: I face, the more people always ask me or you're

1430
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 2: gonna need security. So first of all, if you support

1431
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 2: me and you become my security, okay, I'm gonna continue

1432
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:52,600
Speaker 2: standing on what's right.

1433
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 5: But I don't even face a lot of that.

1434
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 2: A lot of what I face the most, that's the

1435
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 2: most dangerous thing is apathy. Seriously, I talk to a

1436
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 2: lot of black voters who are living in squalor a

1437
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 2: lot of times, and not squalor because they're dirty people

1438
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 2: squaling because it's the level of poverty is here in

1439
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 2: my area and they are not. When I come to them,

1440
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 2: a how is wrong and this is the reason why

1441
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 2: this is what I plan to do. Then look at

1442
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 2: me like like I have eight heads, And the funny

1443
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:23,920
Speaker 2: thing tells them when I speak to some white voters.

1444
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 2: Can I speak to them the same language about what

1445
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 2: I'm planning to do, And I tell them I'm planning

1446
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 2: to help all people, but first and foremost, I'm gonna

1447
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 2: help the people who have been helped the least and

1448
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:35,439
Speaker 2: hurt the most, Black Americans. The white voters get more

1449
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 2: passionate about it than the black voters do. And that's

1450
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 2: just the crazy thing that I'm learning, so much like

1451
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:43,919
Speaker 2: you're not always going to land with the demographic where

1452
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 2: you think they're gonna land, and sometimes the demographic where

1453
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 2: you thought you would not get support, you end up

1454
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 2: getting support. Just politics is funny, unpredictable. But the point

1455
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 2: I am making is that there's a lot of work

1456
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 2: we have to do. Because I know I'm not unique

1457
01:07:58,120 --> 01:07:59,919
Speaker 2: here in South Carolina. I like to think i am,

1458
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 2: But I'm pretty sure if people who are running for

1459
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 2: office or who have done activists on the ground in

1460
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 2: other parts of America, they probably face the same thing.

1461
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 2: A lot of apety, a lot of voters who are

1462
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 2: just not educated.

1463
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 5: I would have been one of those voters just a

1464
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 5: few years.

1465
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 2: Ago, not knowing how to vote, thinking you can vote online,

1466
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 2: not thinking that you can register when you go to vote.

1467
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:20,759
Speaker 5: I would have been one of those people.

1468
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 2: Look, it's just a monumental amount of work that needs

1469
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 2: to be done and I need more of us to

1470
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 2: really step up to do it. And I think some

1471
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,640
Speaker 2: of it is laziest, but I think a lot of

1472
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:36,600
Speaker 2: us are intimidated by actually getting on the ground and

1473
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 2: doing the work. But that's where supporters come in. When

1474
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 2: I first ran, I didn't. A lot of people I

1475
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 2: thought would support me turned on me. They let them

1476
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 2: tell it. They would supporting me from day one. I

1477
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,200
Speaker 2: have text messages that can show you differently, but I'm

1478
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 2: not gonna go there. But to marry Shirley Johnson, you

1479
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 2: know had Browns before in Georgia, and she was the

1480
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 2: one that walked me through the process how to repster

1481
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 2: with the SEC, about how I need to get a

1482
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:05,640
Speaker 2: campaign account, about who I need to call to ask questions.

1483
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 2: If I did not have that pessident I would have

1484
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 2: I would have still been trying to figure out right now.

1485
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 2: So that is where supporters come in. So if you're

1486
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:15,880
Speaker 2: not gonna be the person that runs the office, maybe

1487
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:18,720
Speaker 2: you could be the person that develops a kit for

1488
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:20,639
Speaker 2: a person that rent for office about what they need

1489
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 2: to do, and you be a person there to help

1490
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:26,280
Speaker 2: walk them through it. There's so much need, Like I

1491
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 2: can go on about all the things that I need

1492
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:31,719
Speaker 2: for someone to hand no fundraising. I pay the lady

1493
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:35,360
Speaker 2: six thousand dollars flat and then shoot rear percentage of

1494
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:37,720
Speaker 2: what she raises, and we haven't started yet because I

1495
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 2: had to get things set up. I had to get

1496
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:42,720
Speaker 2: called payn the materials. I had to buy a van

1497
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 2: database to manage whatever you got to manage when you

1498
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:48,760
Speaker 2: do a call time. And I had to find a

1499
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:53,599
Speaker 2: deputy fundraising manager. I had to hire people. I had

1500
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 2: to hire research assistant, and then I had to hire

1501
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 2: one of the people to be my administrative assistant. And

1502
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 2: then I had to make one person all three positions

1503
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:02,799
Speaker 2: because I couldn't find anyone.

1504
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 5: But you see just what I'm talking about. Say, there's

1505
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:05,639
Speaker 5: so much need.

1506
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 2: I can spend a whole day in Twitter space talking

1507
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:11,559
Speaker 2: about all the things I've needed to do that I

1508
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 2: struggle to find because I have had anyone to do it.

1509
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:17,520
Speaker 2: And sometimes some people have to be Here in South Carolina,

1510
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:19,680
Speaker 2: some people will probably be willing to do it, but

1511
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:22,439
Speaker 2: some of these things it had to be people right

1512
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 2: here in South Carolina to do it, and it's been

1513
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 2: a monumental challenge. So support is very important, y'all. I'm

1514
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 2: never going to get a great support. That's essential. But

1515
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 2: before you can support a candidate, you need the candidate.

1516
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:38,600
Speaker 2: Someone has to be willing to stand up and be

1517
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:41,439
Speaker 2: the candidate. And if that person stands up and becomes

1518
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 2: the candidate, then we need to become the supporters of

1519
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:44,919
Speaker 2: that candidate.

1520
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 5: Don't tell that candidate de need security.

1521
01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:50,400
Speaker 2: You valu tear to be the security or donate in

1522
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 2: funerraised for them to have security. Don't tell that candidate

1523
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:56,559
Speaker 2: they need to be knocking on doors to on theize

1524
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 2: people who can knock on doors for them. I get

1525
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 2: a lot of people giving me good at advice, y'all.

1526
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 2: I'm good on good advice. I appreciate it. But now

1527
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:05,680
Speaker 2: let's get it to the point where I'm hearing the

1528
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:07,920
Speaker 2: same thing seventy times. I get it.

1529
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 5: This is what I need doing what I needed, someone

1530
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 5: can be willing to help me do it.

1531
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 2: And so it's to the point now where I'm not

1532
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 2: even responding where people write me tell you what I

1533
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 2: need to do. I need you to help me get

1534
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,880
Speaker 2: it done. That's where supporters come in. So I get

1535
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 2: irritated only when people come with a lot of criticism

1536
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 2: about what I'm not doing or needs to be doing,

1537
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 2: or should have had done or should do, but they're

1538
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 2: not doing anything in their own neck of the woods,

1539
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:34,160
Speaker 2: or you're not helping me do what I shouldn't be

1540
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 2: doing or giving me a helping to give me guidance

1541
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 2: and the support I need so that I don't do

1542
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 2: what you claim I am doing that I should not

1543
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 2: be doing, which if that's cursing me plow, I already

1544
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:46,320
Speaker 2: told these older ladies said I was out an event

1545
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 2: two days ago, and I told all of that. I said, look, y'all,

1546
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:50,840
Speaker 2: if you look me almos social media, I curse me plower,

1547
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:52,599
Speaker 2: I says, I don't fologize here.

1548
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 15: All the mansa y'all like my grandmothers, the great grandmother,

1549
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:58,639
Speaker 15: But I curse, I said, y'all told that. I said,

1550
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:00,679
Speaker 15: my grandma used to curse me out. I said, last

1551
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 15: my y'all in Christ two, I said, I said, ya,

1552
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 15: I'm new, I'm different, and they was like, oh nough,

1553
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:07,640
Speaker 15: we we we we get you me, we get you

1554
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 15: to me art.

1555
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:11,599
Speaker 2: So I mean I I start off telling people took, y'all,

1556
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 2: I curse people out, sometimes tell people die.

1557
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:17,280
Speaker 5: I said, I just want to let y'all know I'm

1558
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:19,519
Speaker 5: probably be a little different from other people who come

1559
01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 5: to these events.

1560
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:23,559
Speaker 2: Once I start off telling people that when people look

1561
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 2: me up on social media, because people have while I've

1562
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 2: been speaking to them, they oh, you are allowed to

1563
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:32,880
Speaker 2: tell it kind of takes out the shop factor. So

1564
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 2: I start off letting people know, look, this is the

1565
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 2: type of stuff I'll be saying, and I let them

1566
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 2: know I'm not apologizing for it. I'm just letting y'all

1567
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:43,759
Speaker 2: know that I'm moving a little different. But don't focus

1568
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,240
Speaker 2: on so much more, I say, focus on what I

1569
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:47,760
Speaker 2: do and what I plan to do.

1570
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 5: I start off a lot of my speech, especially I'm

1571
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:51,200
Speaker 5: talking to the older crowd.

1572
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 2: I started off that way, letting them know that, look,

1573
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:56,760
Speaker 2: I am probably not I'm not the run of the

1574
01:12:56,800 --> 01:13:00,439
Speaker 2: male person who runs the office. And that's usually works.

1575
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 2: And I'll just chime in on this.

1576
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 3: Guess what the people as long as you're talking to

1577
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:08,360
Speaker 3: the people that can vote for you, hey, that's where

1578
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 3: it's at, you know, as long as you're explaining to

1579
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:12,720
Speaker 3: them or giving them whatever, and guess what if they

1580
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:15,680
Speaker 3: look you up like you said, older people, trust me,

1581
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 3: they're not looking you up past that one brief moment.

1582
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 3: They're not because they're not on social media that way,

1583
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:23,559
Speaker 3: like to Danny's point earlier. So even if they look

1584
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 3: at that one and you cut somebody up next week,

1585
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 3: they ain't looking at that. They looking at who. What

1586
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:32,200
Speaker 3: conversation did you have with them at that moment, and

1587
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 3: did you stay in contact with them throughout the process,

1588
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 3: have a couple of meetings, a couple of phone calls,

1589
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 3: remind them to vote, and that's that.

1590
01:13:41,320 --> 01:13:41,760
Speaker 2: That's it.

1591
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 4: Having your one touch, two touch, third touch with the

1592
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 4: actual voter.

1593
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:48,679
Speaker 2: That's it.

1594
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 4: I mean, you know.

1595
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:52,559
Speaker 3: And and that's why when you're face to face with somebody,

1596
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 3: like you said, it takes all of that out of it,

1597
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:56,400
Speaker 3: because what's the what's.

1598
01:13:56,200 --> 01:14:00,920
Speaker 2: The key face to face? Not online? So because of

1599
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 2: these online discussions, and again I'm not shitting on it,

1600
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:05,720
Speaker 2: That's why I'm here talking to you guys. You know,

1601
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:06,879
Speaker 2: I don't think that online.

1602
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:10,720
Speaker 3: I've met a lot of you in person, great relationships,

1603
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:15,799
Speaker 3: very grateful love my online family. So I'm not shitting

1604
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 3: on it, and I don't think that I'm not saying

1605
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:20,400
Speaker 3: that it's not important and I don't think that a

1606
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 3: lot could be done with it. What I'm saying is

1607
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:27,320
Speaker 3: I wish, you know, it could be organized in some way.

1608
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 3: You know, it just it can't just continue to be

1609
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 3: because I think a lot of you got a hell

1610
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:35,320
Speaker 3: of a skill set. I really do, and I just

1611
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 3: feel like that could be I would like to see

1612
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 3: it if you.

1613
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:39,439
Speaker 2: Do it or don't do it.

1614
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:41,679
Speaker 3: I just I feel like you guys could do more.

1615
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 3: That's all as an organized group. It's just it's one

1616
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:49,320
Speaker 3: hundred people listening in this room and maybe fifty listening

1617
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 3: in the browsers. The ones whould probably like to make

1618
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:55,160
Speaker 3: the disc records, Well, go ahead and make dis records

1619
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 3: and get an advertisement, get an advertising firm where you

1620
01:14:58,240 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 3: can actually put people out of ball because I can

1621
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:02,360
Speaker 3: show you and my training, I can show you where

1622
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:04,760
Speaker 3: we've done this is before people was doing this on

1623
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:10,599
Speaker 3: Twitter campaigns that we made, local advertisement that we made

1624
01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 3: basic on YouTube commercials. I did a whole bunch of

1625
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 3: campaigns against Charlie Christ when he ran years ago in Florida.

1626
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:22,120
Speaker 3: Since you all about disc records, do want to and

1627
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:24,200
Speaker 3: be coming over with some little fire shit like, why

1628
01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 3: are you not using that to run against somebody even

1629
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 3: if you can't have a candidate. I'm gonna put this

1630
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:33,320
Speaker 3: out of myself because a lot of people can't you.

1631
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 4: Know, maybe they're not gonna run.

1632
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:38,959
Speaker 3: Okay, well again, remember the pack is available, the Political

1633
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:43,480
Speaker 3: Action Committee's available, and that's where you can run against candidates.

1634
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:46,080
Speaker 3: So if you can't find a candidate to run, how

1635
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 3: about at least being organized enough to make somebody lose.

1636
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:53,160
Speaker 2: And so guess what if you like to do on

1637
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 2: dis tracks, you can start a pack and you could

1638
01:15:56,520 --> 01:16:00,280
Speaker 2: do commercials for me disent James Clyburn in a district

1639
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 2: or just in the Democrats and sells out. People have

1640
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:06,680
Speaker 2: done that, like you know someone I don't know if Stacy.

1641
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:10,560
Speaker 16: Abrams the first time she ran it wasn't the Miagles.

1642
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 16: I think it was hit the Negos, or was a

1643
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 16: group that sounded like the Eagles. They did like a

1644
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 16: dis track. They didn't dis Brian Camp. They did a

1645
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:21,640
Speaker 16: discrap kind of dissing their Republicans and talk about Stacy Abrams.

1646
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 16: It wasn't paid for. It was paid for, you know

1647
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:27,760
Speaker 16: they say paid for by you know friends, uh, right

1648
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 16: of Georgia.

1649
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 5: Right.

1650
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 2: So y'all. There's a lot of things that we are

1651
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:34,759
Speaker 2: doing for free here on Twitter that you can really

1652
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:39,240
Speaker 2: make money doing. And it actually helped to push reparations.

1653
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 3: And actually give somebody a job, you know. So it

1654
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:44,960
Speaker 3: says clearly some people don't I guess, don't have a job.

1655
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 3: They spend plenty of time in the studio so that

1656
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:51,719
Speaker 3: that could actually be a real job.

1657
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 4: It's called a five twenty seven.

1658
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 2: But tell that some people feel like they're not good speakers,

1659
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:00,680
Speaker 2: And I tell it, I think people are just intimity,

1660
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:02,479
Speaker 2: like people don't like to look dumb.

1661
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 5: And I've had this happen a lot.

1662
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 2: Ain't nobody asking them to speak.

1663
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:09,160
Speaker 3: Ain't nobody ask What I'm saying is everybody in a speaker.

1664
01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:13,679

1665
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:15,639

1670
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:27,919

01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 2: Just show your face.

1683
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:05,639
Speaker 4: You ain't got to say nothing. You show your space.

1684
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 3: You show your space in these Twitter spaces all day.

1685
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:13,639
Speaker 3: So the bottom line is there gotta be some besides

1686
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 3: just being an avatar in the room, whether you're sitting

1687
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 3: in the crowd like an avatar sitting in the crowd.

1688
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 3: Now if you're typing in the comments, are you typing

1689
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:28,080
Speaker 3: any letters to go to any of these elected officials?

1690
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:33,719
Speaker 3: Or can your phone bank? Like you raise your hand

1691
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 3: and land your plane. You can even call the voters

1692
01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:38,439
Speaker 3: in Marcell's district. And before you hang up, just say

1693
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:41,080
Speaker 3: I land my plane. If that makes you more comfortable,

1694
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 3: just say I land my plane. The person or other thing, man,

1695
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 3: I know the hell you talking about. But if that's

1696
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 3: more familiar to you to phone bank, then do whatever it.

1697
01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:52,920
Speaker 3: Take the phone bank and just say you're landing your plane,

1698
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 3: vote for my cell, I land my plane and hang up.

1699
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:55,599
Speaker 2: Do that.

Speaker 3: Bullshit speakers, But I'm on Twitter space all day long. No,

1702
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:06,120
Speaker 3: You're a damn good speaker. You just want to speak

1703
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:09,439
Speaker 3: on this other shit and not speak on actually moving

1704
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:12,240
Speaker 3: power forward and the other stuff is important.

1705
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:13,639

1706
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:15,519
Speaker 4: An excuse, because that's an excuse.

1707
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 2: Well, I want I'm gonna have to go soon, but

1708
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 2: I would definitely want to find out what I have

1709
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:25,439
Speaker 2: to do here to actually people who are committed to

1710
01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:27,800
Speaker 2: having you come willing to pay that. I guess the

1711
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:30,920
Speaker 2: reservation I don't want to call a reservation fee. I'm

1712
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:32,479
Speaker 2: not sure what it is, but I know it's like

1713
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:32,880
Speaker 2: it was.

1714
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:36,000
Speaker 3: And one more example, guess what if they can't phone

01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:37,920
Speaker 3: bank for you, guess what they can text message for

01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. So they can text message.

1721
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 3: They can two way text message for you, just like

1722
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:57,599
Speaker 3: when everybody came to my class in September. Remember y'all

1723
01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 3: got I know I see Raheem Jay, y'all y'all came

1724
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:02,559
Speaker 3: to my class. They got at least ten to fifteen

1725
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:05,439
Speaker 3: messages at least at best. And guess what, guess who

1726
01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:07,840
Speaker 3: was doing it? Just me, me, by myself. I sent

1727
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 3: out every damn text message. I sent out every email.

1728
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:12,720
Speaker 3: I was two way texting people. They thought they was

1729
01:20:12,760 --> 01:20:15,120
Speaker 3: talking to somebody else, but really it was me, surprise, surprise.

1730
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:18,040
Speaker 3: I made sure until I got everybody in that room.

1731
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 3: So it's plenty ways to get it done. It's just

1732
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:21,439
Speaker 3: a matter of do you want to get it done

1733
01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:26,519
Speaker 3: or not. If you can't speak texts, if you can

1734
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:27,920
Speaker 3: speak to let.

1735
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:32,800
Speaker 2: Some people still do that. Some people literally write postcards

1736
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 2: and some stuff envelopes for candadates. I've seen people do that.

1737
01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:38,559
Speaker 2: I wasn't able to do it because it was just

1738
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:42,479
Speaker 2: too much, But I've seen candidates do that. They send

1739
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:46,120
Speaker 2: people in their district like postcards with you know, a

1740
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:49,479
Speaker 2: little person on hand. Richard messages. There's prince here, weeds help.

1741
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:53,519
Speaker 2: You can knock on the door and shake hands. So there,

1742
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:55,920
Speaker 2: But so tas, I want to find what I need

1743
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:59,080
Speaker 2: to do to really get your reserved here because I

1744
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:02,679
Speaker 2: really wanted to bring here and I had nineteen people.

1745
01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:04,280
Speaker 5: Of course, you know how people are. They're finicky.

1746
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:07,519
Speaker 2: That's why I understand why there has to be something

1747
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:10,320
Speaker 2: that's gonna people have to put an investment in where

1748
01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:12,679
Speaker 2: they're gonna show up. Because you do something, you say, okay,

1749
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 2: everyone see is going to show up the day of

1750
01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:18,719
Speaker 2: two percent of that actually appears. I've seen it happen.

1751
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:20,360
Speaker 2: I know. No, I know.

1752
01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:23,320
Speaker 3: That's why I organize as hard as I did, you

1753
01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 3: know in Atlanta. But this class has to be paid

1754
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,720
Speaker 3: for in advance. They can cancel thirty days before. But

1755
01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:31,120
Speaker 3: if we don't have the people, you know for the class,

1756
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 3: the people that signed up, they'll get their money back.

1757
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:33,759
Speaker 4: It's real simple.

1758
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:35,880
Speaker 3: I'm not jumping on planes spending my money coming down

1759
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 3: and waiting to see you know.

1760
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 2: So uh uh is there a link I send to them?

1761
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:43,760
Speaker 5: No?

1762
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 3: I No, I can set up you know, we can

1763
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:47,600
Speaker 3: talk about what you know, what date would work, and

1764
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:49,400
Speaker 3: we'll you know, there'll be a link and they can

1765
01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:51,400
Speaker 3: you know, go from there. And then if if they

1766
01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 3: don't get it done thirty days prior to hey, people

1767
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:55,600
Speaker 3: get their money back. They decided to do it. And

1768
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:58,080
Speaker 3: that's that and that's that's how we always get a

1769
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:00,599
Speaker 3: chance to see who's who. Over fifty people say yeah,

1770
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:01,840
Speaker 3: come to my city, come to my city, come to

1771
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:03,439
Speaker 3: my city. Then when it was time to do it,

1772
01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:05,080
Speaker 3: they don't do it. And that's okay, that's that's a.

1773
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:08,680
Speaker 2: Part of it. I people need to expect. That's a

1774
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 2: part of it.

1775
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:11,360
Speaker 3: That's why people don't want to run, because it's they

1776
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 3: can't handle, you know, that disappointment.

1777
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:14,920
Speaker 4: That's the part of it.

1778
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:16,880
Speaker 3: That's why guys, people that run for office or people

1779
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:19,000
Speaker 3: that do the work, that's why they talk so snappy.

1780
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 3: That's why they interrupt you. That's why they talk over

1781
01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 3: you because their patients are short. Because this shit wears

1782
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:27,599
Speaker 3: you down, you know, wears you down because they don't

1783
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:29,000
Speaker 3: want to hear a bunch of your talk and a

1784
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:30,040
Speaker 3: bunch of your ideas.

1785
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 2: That's what it is. So I'm glad it's not me

1786
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:36,439
Speaker 2: because I thought I told my well, no, I've been

1787
01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:39,400
Speaker 2: getting I've never been explosive. I mean, I've always had

1788
01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:42,400
Speaker 2: a kind of a I've always been passionate. I've always

1789
01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:46,439
Speaker 2: been kind of I've always been very passionate, but never

1790
01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:51,920
Speaker 2: been explosive, but legally has my tolerance. But bs, I've

1791
01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 2: never been this short patience with people. I don't want

1792
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:58,200
Speaker 2: to hear it, okay, because again, okay, well you just

1793
01:22:58,240 --> 01:23:00,280

1796
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:13,000
Speaker 2: the virtue signaling. So okay, well that's that. So I'm

1797
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 2: going through that experience where we have the patience I

1798
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 2: got used to have. Like I was, and I was

01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:17,519
Speaker 3: information that in your passion. So I wouldn't waste time

1821
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 3: on the phone with somebody who because there's so many

1822

Speaker 3: people that you can that you can get on your side,

1823
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:23,559

01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:25,040
Speaker 2: So I tell any candidate.

1825

Speaker 4: Okay, cool, you don't want it, cool, let me go on.

1826
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:31,320
Speaker 3: You get exhausted and get frustrated by using the energy

1827
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:34,240
Speaker 3: you do have trying to convince those who are probably

1828
01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:36,720
Speaker 3: not gonna do it anyway, and that includes in this

1829
01:24:36,840 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 3: online space as well. You're gonna keep getting exhausted as

1830
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:42,720
Speaker 3: long as you're trying to be the activist, the politician,

1831
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:47,600
Speaker 3: the candidate, the inspiration person, the go to the this

1832
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:49,439
Speaker 3: or that to that. You got your hand in a

1833
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:52,679
Speaker 3: lot of different buckets and so it's gonna break you down.

1834
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:55,800
Speaker 2: You see, you have to educate them, and then I

1835
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:57,640
Speaker 2: have to be the candidate. I'm saying, I don't know

1836
01:24:57,640 --> 01:24:59,800
Speaker 2: who this policy person is, but I'm gonna try them

1837
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:02,080
Speaker 2: and let's see. You know, it could be a troll,

1838
01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:04,160
Speaker 2: but we'll find out and if it ain't, now drop

1839
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:11,120
Speaker 2: them immediately. Politics guide it me.

1840
01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:12,960
Speaker 17: I just wanted to thank you for a part in

1841
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 17: that wisdom. I thought that was very, very succinctly put.

1842
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 2: Okay, you're welcome.

1843
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:24,120
Speaker 17: I'm very interested as to what these spaces you know, cover,

1844
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:26,759
Speaker 17: because I'm trying to feel like I'm a cultural outsider

1845
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:29,160
Speaker 17: from you know, my perspective, and I'm always very intrigued

1846
01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:30,920
Speaker 17: to hear what people have to say. And I've heard

1847
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 17: a lot of wisdom and a lot of really good

1848
01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:34,320
Speaker 17: stuff since I've been listening so far, and I really

1849
01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:35,120
Speaker 17: appreciate that.

1850
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 5: Well, thank you, are you being Kent.

1851
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 2: Are you running office or organizing Canadas to run for office.

1852
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:46,760
Speaker 17: I certainly do participate in my local I try to,

1853
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:48,759
Speaker 17: you know, do what I can within my sphere of influence.

1854
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:51,280
Speaker 17: Of course, I'm out here in northern California in a

1855
01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:54,280
Speaker 17: pretty rural county, so I do go to town hall

1856
01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:56,040
Speaker 17: meetings and good stuff like that, you know. I go

1857
01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 17: to my county meetings and things. And I do have

1858
01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:02,320
Speaker 17: some friends are in the political organization of the parties

1859
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:02,599
Speaker 17: as well.

1860
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 2: I like to support them where I can. Okay, well,

1861
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:09,679
Speaker 2: thank you for your compliment.

1862
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:12,000
Speaker 17: Yeah, God blessed. I just, you know, I really appreciate that.

1863
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:14,240
Speaker 17: And then I just there's there's one topic that gets

1864
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:17,080
Speaker 17: thrown around a lot that I've seen, which is reparation.

1865
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:19,600
Speaker 17: But I feel like all of the American people, and

1866
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:22,080
Speaker 17: especially black Americans. I think all of the black people,

1867
01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:25,840
Speaker 17: all of American people in general, deserve reparations because our

1868
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:28,599
Speaker 17: money is getting important out of country and helping basically

1869
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:30,760
Speaker 17: terrorist organizations, and that's pretty wild to me.

1870
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:36,120
Speaker 2: Well yeah, well, I mean, yeah, Ukrainians, but also take

1871
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:38,600
Speaker 2: care of legal immigrants and foreign aid the countries that

1872
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 2: are actually our enemies. But yeah, definitely, Well, thank you

1873
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:47,240
Speaker 2: for that. Reparations and the sense that I am promoting

1874
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 2: for are reparations that this nation owes to Black Americans

1875
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:54,439
Speaker 2: who are descendents of American slaves, which should have been

1876
01:26:55,280 --> 01:26:58,240
Speaker 2: the day's slavery end it. But you know, they continue

1877
01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:00,840
Speaker 2: with anti black American terrorism.

1878
01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 5: So what I'll with you on that.

1879
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:04,559
Speaker 2: I just want to say, I'm totally with you on that.

1880
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:07,000
Speaker 17: I think the first step to getting Black Americans who

1881
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:10,799
Speaker 17: are descendants of slavery, uh, you know, those those families.

1882
01:27:10,840 --> 01:27:12,840
Speaker 17: I believe the first step to getting them their proper

1883
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:16,519
Speaker 17: money is making sure that we're doing proper accounting at

1884
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:18,559
Speaker 17: the federal level in the state level, and that we're

1885
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:20,559
Speaker 17: not poorting all of the tax playing all the American

1886
01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:24,680
Speaker 17: citizens hard earned GDP funds towards other entities, and it

1887
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:26,599
Speaker 17: needs to go to Americans first. And I think black

1888
01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 17: Americans should absolutely be considered for enhanced reparation as well.

1889
01:27:31,680 --> 01:27:37,720
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Thank you wells. I've enjoyed this,

1890
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:41,920
Speaker 2: but I got cybersecurity work. I better get too, no.

1891
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 3: Problem, and this Friday night, I'm going this Friday night,

1892
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:49,960
Speaker 3: So thank you so much, guys for those Yeah, I

1893
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 3: hope you guys found it. Helpful I did. I think

1894
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:57,759
Speaker 3: a lot of information got covered. It started out talking

1895
01:27:57,760 --> 01:28:02,479
Speaker 3: about Tennessee and keeping the main thing, and we had

1896
01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:05,599
Speaker 3: some really really good dialogue between ourself and Tammy, who

1897
01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:09,320
Speaker 3: had an exchange online, and again, you know, agree, it's

1898
01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 3: a very good conversation to listen to, to agree to

1899
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 3: disagree on you know, what we need to be looking

1900
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:18,320
Speaker 3: at in regards to Tennessee. And again you can certainly

1901
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:21,920
Speaker 3: you have not like who the representatives are, the party

1902
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:24,360
Speaker 3: they represent are, the policies that they push. I just

1903
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:28,880
Speaker 3: want to remind you that getting expelled out of the

1904
01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:34,200
Speaker 3: House is a precedence that we don't want, that we

1905
01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:38,519
Speaker 3: should not be supporting, because it absolutely will happen to

1906
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:41,400
Speaker 3: you if your candidate is there in support of your

1907
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:44,639
Speaker 3: issues as well. So anyway, guys, thank you so much

1908
01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:48,479
Speaker 3: for listening. I'll leave this up and hey, it is

1909
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 3: what it is. And next time I rarely come in

1910
01:28:51,160 --> 01:28:53,000
Speaker 3: these shorter spaces, but guess what I'm gonna ask next

1911
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:56,160
Speaker 3: time I'm in here, where is the California candidate?

1912
01:28:57,720 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 4: That's just always going to be the question.

1913
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:03,439
Speaker 3: I say that because there's always a challenge on who

1914
01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:06,320
Speaker 3: should be speaking on reparations and who should not be speaking,

1915
01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:08,519
Speaker 3: and who is this and who is that? And I

1916
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:11,000
Speaker 3: just want to ask those same people who are they running,

1917
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:15,320
Speaker 3: because you're going to need somebody to vote for that study,

1918
01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:17,880
Speaker 3: because that's what that California Task Force is. It's a

1919
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:21,559
Speaker 3: study that where they recommend and somebody's going to have

1920
01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:24,320
Speaker 3: to take the recommendation and implement it in the policy,

1921
01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:25,920
Speaker 3: which that means you're going to have to have a

1922
01:29:25,920 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 3: candidate that actually supports that. So hopefully, you know, all

1923
01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:33,400
Speaker 3: the reparations reparationist family can get together and look in

1924
01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:35,240
Speaker 3: the great state of California and see who you can

1925
01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:37,080
Speaker 3: run and even if they can't win, at least be

1926
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:39,400
Speaker 3: able to say, hey, you put a candidate out there,

1927
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:41,479
Speaker 3: like I always say, usually little that can't make his shoes,

1928
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:42,240
Speaker 3: that this has been great.

1929
01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:42,519
