1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: Could be like if you didn't give a damn about 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: what nobody else think about you, that boy's right. 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 2: Amen, go my God. 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: Tell them the truth. 5 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 2: Preach it, baby. 6 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 3: I have a bad feeling you've been thinking. 7 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 4: Shut up. 8 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 2: I'm trying. I'm on a roll up in here on 9 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 2: the heir. 10 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: That's one of the things I have really enjoyed about 11 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: the old folks home is there's no political correctness and 12 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: nobody's worried that they've hurt somebody else's feelings. 13 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 2: Ever, it's it's like extreme autism, and I find that 14 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 2: very very uh, relaxing, invigorating, exhilarating. You just get to 15 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: live without without. I will not allow white liberals or 16 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: race baters into my inner circle and won't hire them, 17 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: and won't do business with them, and won't be around them, 18 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 2: because at some point they're going to be offended. It's 19 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 2: what they do. It's they can't help it. It's a 20 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: it's it's one of their it's one of their character traits. 21 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 2: It really doesn't matter what you do. You could do 22 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 2: nothing and that would be offensive, you know. They just 23 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 2: it's a way of getting attention. It's a way of 24 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 2: turning the tables as a way of gaining power over you. 25 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: It's a cudgel they use. And so you just don't 26 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 2: associate with them because if you have conversations with them, 27 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 2: eventually they're gonna twist what you said. If you if 28 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 2: if they know things about you, they're gonna they're gonna 29 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 2: twist and contort them. And and they're insidious. They're just 30 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 2: insidious little creatures. But anyway, I have noticed at the 31 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 2: Old Folks Home that everything is very direct, that there's 32 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: not the bandwidth to worry about nuance. It's not the 33 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: bandwidth to try to figure out the context. It's sort 34 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: of like slowing everything down. It's it's what people who 35 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: use marijuana described the experience for being as that their 36 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 2: anxiety is gone. And I know people who are high 37 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: functioning professionals who will talk about that experience. And I'm 38 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 2: so jealous because I have to. It's very hard for 39 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 2: me to turn my brain off. I'm not saying I'm 40 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: smarter than anyone else. I'm saying that my brain is REVVD. 41 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 2: The RPMs are too high, and I need to shift 42 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 2: into a different gear and get that get that back down, 43 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: because we're running, we're redlining all the time. And it's 44 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: it's it's very enjoyable to be around people for whom 45 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: no one's ever offended. Ever, no one's bothered, no one's 46 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: you know, concerned what another person's now. They can't hear 47 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 2: each other, but at least they're not bothered. So Harris 48 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: County has now named a building for Sylvester Turner, a 49 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: matter of days after he died, and nothing for George 50 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: Foreman calls to mind the line from John Houston in 51 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 2: the movie Chinatown. Politicians, ugly buildings, and whorors all get 52 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: respectable if they last long enough. Let's go to Chuck. 53 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 2: Is that still Chuck? Because it's showing us Chuck's ringing? 54 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: But Chuck was on hold, but you got going on there, Rema, 55 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 2: Why are you just looking at the phone? 56 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 5: Oh? 57 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: I didn't see you were on it. I'm sorry, Yeah, Okay, good, Chuck. 58 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: I like to talk Chuck. 59 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 5: Chuck. 60 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 4: Hey, Michael, I just wanted to call and just say 61 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 4: I appreciate your show so much and the guests that 62 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 4: you have on where you talk about hard work and diligence, 63 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 4: and a lot of people have been talking about their 64 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 4: father's here lately, and I just wanted to call in 65 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 4: and give an incense about my dad about not quitting 66 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 4: and hard work. I had asked my dad years ago 67 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 4: when I was a child. I was eight years old. 68 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 4: I wanted to go to youth camp so bad that 69 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 4: a group from our church was going. And he kept 70 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 4: telling me, no, no, you're too young, you're too young, 71 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 4: We need to wait one more year. Well, I finally 72 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 4: broke them down and he let me go and I 73 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 4: went to camp. And the first night I was there, 74 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 4: I cried and boohooed, and my dad came three hours 75 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 4: to come pick me up, and he brought me home, 76 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 4: but he wouldn't let me go in the house. He 77 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 4: took me into the backyard. 78 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 3: Pitched a tent. 79 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,679 Speaker 4: He took work off for the rest of that week, 80 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 4: and we had a youth camp in my backyard. By 81 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 4: the end of the end of the week, we had 82 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 4: about sixteen different little pup tents from kids in my neighborhood, 83 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 4: and my dad had like a little youth camp in 84 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 4: the backyard. My dad was a lay preacher. He was 85 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 4: in the Navy, and I had to take my showers 86 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 4: with the hose back behind the bush, and we grilled 87 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 4: out every night, and my dad gave my mom money 88 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 4: to go to the hobby store and buy arts and 89 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 4: crafts for us, and by the end of the week 90 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 4: we had over thirty kids sleep them out of my 91 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 4: backyard every night, and I just never forget. My dad 92 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 4: always taught us that whatever you put your hand to, 93 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 4: you don't quit. You see it through, and then when 94 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 4: you're done, if that wasn't for you, well then you 95 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 4: move on something else. And your show reminds me a 96 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 4: lot of my dest diligence and hard work. 97 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: That means more to me than you can imagine. Because 98 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: people think of talk radio as being purely political quote unquote, 99 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 2: elections races, the news cycle over who's upset at who, 100 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,119 Speaker 2: and what Jasmine Rocket has said, and what AOC has said, 101 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 2: and whether they're what this or that person has said, 102 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 2: and that is the pure bread and circuses entertainment, adrenaline 103 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 2: rush of extreme anger. That is. Those are things we 104 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 2: will discuss, But what matters is fixing the real problems 105 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 2: raising kids, improving marriages, building businesses, accumulating wealth, growing, developing, empowering. 106 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: Those sorts of things are extraordinarily important, and I think 107 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 2: we lose, we miss an opportunity when all we do 108 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: is read headlines of who in Congress is mad at who? 109 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 2: And who's running and who's not and just yeah, so 110 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 2: thank you for saying that.

When I lead it 137 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 6: to the apartment manager, he said, I know who did that. 138 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:58,479 Speaker 5: She's crazy. 139 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 6: I've seen you walk. 140 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 5: Don't worry about it. Throw the note away. And a 141 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 5: few weeks later I got a leaf violation saying that 142 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 5: I'm causing pictures to fall off the wall of a 143 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 5: neighbor and I'm yelling and screaming late night. Then I 144 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 5: got a non renewal leaf notice. Lone Stair legal aide 145 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 5: helped me and wrote a letter saying you cannot non 146 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 5: renew a lease without good cause. And at the same 147 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,599 Speaker 5: time Lone Story said, you didn't tell me about the 148 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 5: second leaf violation. I said, I never got it. What 149 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 5: are you talking about? That one accused me of sweeping 150 00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 5: feces off of my balcony peer and feces off of 151 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 5: my balcony. The balconies are even for one thing. It 152 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 5: would be impossible to sweep anything and have it crawl 153 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 5: up under the balcony under me. But beyond that, it 154 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 5: never happened. I have four litter pans for two pets. 155 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 5: Inside those pans are kept completely clean, and I have 156 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 5: a corn hust room on the balcony that I would 157 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 5: never think of sweeping that with a corn hust room. 158 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 5: So they took me to the JP court and I lost, 159 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:48,599 Speaker 5: and I filed the appeal and nobody could have I 160 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 5: couldn't get legal assistance, volunteer lawyers, lone store, nobody, nobody 161 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 5: could would help me. Everybody said they were busy. So 162 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 5: I face saw by myself and I'm you know, all 163 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 5: through this, I prayed God just helped me through this, 164 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 5: and I thought my truth would stand and just stand 165 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 5: for itself, that the truth. There is no proof, there 166 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 5: is no evidence of any of this, and so I've 167 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 5: heard you say. And when all else fails, they pulled 168 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 5: the race card. They did that too, And I said, 169 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 5: in those appeal the answers you have to file for 170 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 5: the appeal, I said, prove it, prove it, prove it, 171 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 5: prove it. And on the race one, I said, what 172 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 5: was that conversation? What was the date what was the 173 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 5: time of day, what was I wearing? What caused me 174 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 5: to say that? And she, the manager answered, oh, you 175 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 5: were behind your closed door. I was mopping the floor. 176 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 5: So again there is no proof, there's nothing. So I 177 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 5: go to a doll Protective Services trying to get some 178 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 5: kind of roof over my head. The list a wait 179 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 5: list for senior apartments or a year long. You can't 180 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 5: just go around a senior apartment. And the reason I'm 181 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 5: so adamant about senior is the authritis and my hip. 182 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 5: It's dangerous for me to get into the back tub 183 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 5: with the wall like that. I am very afraid of falling. 184 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 5: I need to walk in shower. It's just it's just law. 185 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 5: Their what I saw them do to Donald Trump, it's 186 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 5: happening to me on a different levels. It's discussing what 187 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 5: this country has come to. And I've heard you say, 188 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 5: if they come for Trump, they can come for you too. 189 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 5: And they came for me and it was a bloodbast 190 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 5: They mopped the street with me unjustly. It never should 191 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 5: have happened, Never should have happened. 192 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 2: What is the race in approximate age and sex of 193 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 2: the person living downstairs? 194 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 5: I don't know a black female. I don't know, twenties 195 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 5: or thirties, and I'm not even sure of that. The 196 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 5: night that the smoke alarm, the fire alarm went off 197 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 5: in the building two o'clock in the morning and everybody 198 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 5: was in the hall, I had seen somebody that fit 199 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 5: that description is but I'm not even positive of that. 200 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 5: And the DEI I bet at a the seventy apartments, 201 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 5: there are only four white people on this property. 202 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 2: This is a state this is a state program. 203 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 5: Yes, yes, and they allow addictions.

But 207 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 2: he never will. There is so much waste, fraud, inefficiency, 208 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: self dealing Democrat power brokers within the state government agency 209 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 2: operations it would shock you. I happen to know about 210 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 2: a few of them in particular. But when it comes 211 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 2: to medical, housing, benefits, those sorts of things, it's not 212 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 2: Republicans in charge. They've let the Democrats set up entire fiefdoms. 213 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 2: You wouldn't believe how rich they're getting. But as it 214 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 2: relates to you, if you believe that to race based, 215 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 2: and I don't know. You tell me that it is, 216 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 2: I will tell you it is becoming. It is becoming 217 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: a mark, a star of David to be an old 218 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 2: white person. There are some evil, malicious racist blacks who 219 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 2: use agencies and governmental power like this to harm people 220 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 2: like you because it's an axe that they grind, and frankly, 221 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 2: they probably got somebody else they're ready to put in 222 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 2: there to replace you. 223 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 3: If you don't like them, we'll reprint them or refine 224 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 3: your money.

Everywas you gotta get down land and 229 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,239 Speaker 3: the Western Oil can under my local level. 230 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: Chair, it's a fine day, no timline day. 231 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 2: For several years, a woman named Nancy Ware has asked 232 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 2: me to come and speak to her senior leadership team 233 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 2: at her firm. Her firm is a strategic messaging company. 234 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 2: They do Tilman for Tita's work, but they do others 235 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 2: as well. I think they do Midway properties. Their motto 236 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 2: is best in class, so they want to be They 237 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 2: want to represent the best in your class at what 238 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 2: you do. Whatever prescent real estate. John Goff's group is 239 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 2: one of their clients. But what they do is they 240 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 2: position your brand and your projects in the public's mind 241 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 2: so that the vision is brought out as to what's happening. 242 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 2: So it just doesn't look like for real estate, which 243 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 2: is one of the things they do, it's not just 244 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 2: that you're building a brick and mortar and renting it out. 245 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 2: It's here's what you're trying to accomplish, here's the goal 246 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 2: behind it, here's what it was patterned on. And they're extraordinarily, 247 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 2: extraordinarily good. It happens to be a woman owned business 248 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 2: in a field where nobody you don't get credit. She's 249 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 2: not doing government work. You don't get credit for woman 250 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 2: owned business. 251 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 4: So when. 252 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 2: I think it's called Dancy Perishinie where DPWPR public relations, 253 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 2: nobody hires them because they get credit for it. Being 254 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 2: a woman owned business just happens to be one on themen. 255 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 2: She just happens to be a woman. And talk about 256 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 2: a tough woman. I have friends where there's several families 257 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 2: that we will see in Colorado and they're one of them, 258 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 2: and so we have dinner and we always talk, and 259 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 2: I have a lot of questions for her, and like 260 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 2: very successful people, she has lots of questions. Really smart 261 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 2: people ask a lot of questions. Mattress Mac is one 262 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 2: of the most inquisitive human beings I've ever met. Russell 263 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 2: Lebar very inquisitive. People will say, what do you and 264 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 2: Mac talk about? I say, we don't. 265 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 4: I talk. 266 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 2: He won't talk. He just starts peppering me with questions. 267 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 2: He as curious. He's curious about everything, and that's just 268 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 2: the way he is. And I'm usually the one asking 269 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 2: all the questions. So it's a little a little shocking 270 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 2: to me. But so I had this meeting for years. 271 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 2: I've promised I would come over, but I hate meetings, 272 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 2: and so I finally did it this week. It was 273 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 2: supposed to be about a thirty minute meeting and it 274 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 2: ended up being a three hour meeting, and I was exhilarated. 275 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 2: I walked out of there at say three thirty in 276 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 2: the afternoon, and I was exhilarated because they were telling 277 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 2: me about all the projects they're working on, projects that 278 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 2: their clients are doing, and challenges and opportunities all the 279 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 2: way down to a robust internship program. And because it 280 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 2: is an entirely female company. It's there are certain women, 281 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 2: certain young women, who are inspired by that and they 282 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 2: want to have female mentors. So you don't have to 283 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 2: legislate this stuff. It happens naturally. And when it doesn't 284 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 2: happen naturally, it's because a woman wants to be a 285 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 2: woman owned business and she's not good at what she 286 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 2: does and we shouldn't prop her up with government dollars 287 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 2: to make her so. Same thing with minorities, and there 288 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 2: are plenty of great minority owned firms, you know, disabled 289 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 2: everything else. You don't need to mandate it. You only 290 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 2: need to mandate it for those that happen to be 291 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 2: of that group but wouldn't be good enough to succeed. 292 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 2: So we're going to prop them up and say you 293 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 2: don't have to be good to succeed. We're gonna give 294 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 2: you the money to succeed even though you're not good. 295 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 2: And because the end goal is that we have to 296 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 2: have more people that look like you that have a company, well, 297 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 2: Dancy Ware doesn't have to be a woman owned business. 298 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 2: In fact, her clients are all high powered men. And 299 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 2: I can tell you working for Tillman and Furtita would 300 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 2: probably be a lot like working for Elon Musk or 301 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 2: Donald Trump, late night calls, early morning calls, expectation that 302 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 2: you are never off the clock. Mac is the same 303 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 2: way Brenda Love, who does all his pr Brenda Love 304 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 2: is on call at all times. She's on vacation, she's 305 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 2: on call, she's at a wedding, she's stepping out. Because 306 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 2: that's how Mac moves, That's how he You don't have 307 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 2: to like it, you don't have to live it, but 308 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 2: you have to understand. And Brenda Love would be another person, 309 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 2: you know, in that kind of field anyway. But I 310 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 2: found from that meeting with Dancyware in the conversation and 311 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 2: talking to her to the ladies that make her senior team, 312 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 2: I was exhilarated by the optimism and the positivity, and 313 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 2: it made me think, you know, I I am at 314 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 2: a point in my career where I don't have to 315 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 2: meet anybody I don't want to meet. I'm constantly being 316 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 2: asked to sit in and meetings.

But I know plenty of men. 321 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 2: They want let's have a meeting. Let's get everybody together 322 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 2: and meet.

And they show up at their 328 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 2: kids baseball game and they come blowing in and in 329 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 2: their in their expensive suit and their expensive BMW or 330 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 2: Mercedes or Alexis or whatever it is, and and they've 331 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 2: got all their jings.
