Speaker 5: to be repetitive on what people can do right now.

32
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 5: Because in myself, it's great to have these long term visions.

33
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 5: It's great to talk about what we need to do

39
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:55,080

40
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 5: of government interference, which by the way, is not possible

41
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 5: in America.

42
00:01:58,800 --> 00:01:59,480

00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 5: real solutions that make sense while still trying to gain

49

60
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,720

61
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 5: say we're not our ancestors. No, our ancestors actually got

62
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,600

63
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:09,880

Speaker 5: social media and talk. That's no offense, It's just what

69
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:36,960

Speaker 5: organizing in your town. Fifty people, twenty five people, one

71
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 5: hundred realistic things. Jade because bell to ask is on

72
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 5: the way.

73
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 3: Bell to ask is on the way. Tell him what

74
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 3: do you mean by bell to ask? It means.

75
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 5: This is what America wanted. People got tied the Democrats.

76
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 5: I'm with you, I was too. People said the Democrats

77
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 5: was weak.

78
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: I'm with you. People said they don't give black people enough.

79
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: I'm with you. But now the alternative was Trump. People said,

80
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: I'm of old Trump. I don't care. Let you know.

81
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 5: They need to learn lesson bet Well. Now, Jay, we're

82
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 5: in the lesson finding that mold. That means it's gonna

83
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 5: get worse before it get better, before either Republicans get

84
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 5: it together, or Democrats get it together, or whoever the

85
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 5: Do for Self movement get it together. Whatever it is,

86
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 5: we gotta get there. It's gonna get harder before it

87
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 5: get worse. It's not a scare tactic. It's not trying

88
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 5: to make nobody you know, afraid, but your damn show

89
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 5: better be concerned. And the belt to ask is when

90
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 5: big Mama will tell you to go outside. If you're

91
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 5: from that generation, get a switched, get your own switch.

92
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 5: So what America has done is pulled its own switch

93
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 5: off the tree. And now it's belt to ask on

94
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 5: March thirteen, massive federal layoffs are in play.

95
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 3: Massive. You're in the Maryland area, right in.

96
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 5: The heart of DC. Yep, DC, yep, right there. When

97
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 5: we look at the median income, let's just go by facts.

98
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 5: I know, due for self ain't ain't a you know,

99
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 5: ain't big on this, ain't big on people having jobs.

100
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 5: But somebody actually got to have a job sometime. Everybody

101
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 5: can sell hair products. And when the people that do

102
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 5: sell help hair products, somebody gotta buying.

103
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: So nothing wrong. Who would having a job.

104
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, So just so you know, and the median household

105
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 2: income for the DMV that's DC, Maryland and Virginia in

106
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: two thousand and two, that number was one hundred and

107
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: nineteen thousand, eight hundred and three dollars. So that was

108
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 2: back in two thousand, excuse me, twenty twenty two, and

109
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: now we're in twenty twenty five, you know, so that

110
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 2: is still significantly above the average.

111
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 4: You know, people are making.

112
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: Money down there, and it's because the largest employer in

113
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: the DMV is the federal government tas.

114
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 3: That's right.

115
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 5: So these massive layoffs that are about to happen, guess

116
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 5: whore getting hit. I know, we like to say Oh,

117
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 5: white people don't get hit worse just in sure numbers,

118
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 5: We got that. But who's gonna be Who's gonna have

119
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 5: a better chance in an unemployment line? White man or

120
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 5: the black man? Oh the white men? Yeah, it ain't

121
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 5: Nona d a I too. So nobody got to hire

122
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 5: anybody based on nothing. So who who's going to have

123
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 5: a better chance? White man and black white man? That's

124
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 5: the bottom line. That's the bottom line our middle class

125
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 5: if as far as black middle class is concerned, if

126
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 5: people make more money in DC, as far as employer

127
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 5: is concerned, that's like a good chunk of our middle class.

128
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 4: Definitely.

129
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 2: But this is the thing to tas the median household

130
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 2: income in the DMV decreased by ten thousand dollars in

131
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. So you know how I said, in

132
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two it was like one hundred and nineteen

133
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: thousand dollars and some well, in twenty twenty three was

134
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: one hundred and eight thousand dollars. So people already struggling.

135
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: Just in general, people are already struggling the economy and

136
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: inflation is doing what it does, and so that is

137
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: definitely impacting the household income so now with all of

138
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,679
Speaker 2: these layoffs and folks just losing their jobs and everything

139
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: else going on, these terarists are about to hit. I

140
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: can only imagine what that looks like in the DMV

141
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: with them being the largest federal government, you know employer.

142
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and USAID found eighty two thousand.

143
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 5: So I found even lord than that that the average

144
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 5: was eighty two thousand, but forty percent earning one hundred

145
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 5: thousand or more. But again, all of these things you

146
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 5: just mentioned. The tariffs are hitting next week, then you

147
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 5: say it was next week, yes, a March four, So

148
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 5: March fourth.

149
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: We Trump already said it's already set into motion, twenty

150
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: five percent tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada and

151
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: ten percent tariffs on goods from China.

152
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 5: And even though we're putting the tariff on them, well,

153
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 5: oh well, they're goods coming over here.

154
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: So that means it's gonna go up. Correct, that's just math,

155
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 3: that's just gonna go up.

156
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, And listen, any type of supply you have for

157
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: your let's say you do have a black business, especially

158
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 2: if you have a black brick and mortar, if you

159
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: have things that are being shipped in, how can black,

160
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: the average black business owner compete with this level of

161
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 2: you know, inflation and with these tariffs, and so folks

162
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: are talking about do for self. I'm all about self determination,

163
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: but we have to look at the full context of

164
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: everything that's happening and be really rational about what we're saying.

165
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 5: Well, that's what BELTAZ is all about. You know, you

166
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 5: can't we're at a state of a place now, Jay,

167
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 5: that warning doesn't matter. You know when people's said Project

168
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five wasn't real, Well, the one that came

169
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 5: in to make these cuts and said that these cuts

170
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 5: would be immediate, it's actually Russell Voight who was one

171
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 5: of the authors of Project twenty twenty five. He's over

172
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 5: the Office of Management and Budget that is doing these

173
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 5: massive layoffs. So you know, we can say it was

174
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 5: a scare tactic, say it wasn't real, say.

175
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: It really don't matter. Well, none of that matters.

176
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 5: We're gonna get a chance to see in real time,

177
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 5: like how does this gonna affect everyday people? The really

178
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 5: we really are with medicaid now saying you know what,

179
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 5: y'all need to go to work if y'all want to

180
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 5: get medicaid.

181
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 3: The poor people disabled.

182
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 5: All of that, you need to figure out how to

183
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 5: go to work, need to literally figure it out, even

184
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 5: though seventy percent already go to work, school and some

185
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 5: type of program. No, they want that extra thirty percent

186
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 5: that can't work, because let's be clear, a lot of

187
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 5: people literally can't work, like literally can't be on my

188
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 5: friend or you know, my best friend is paralyzes, literally

189
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 5: can't sit in the chair for a certain amount of

190
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 5: time without getting sores and feet, just had its toe

191
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 5: imputated from too much pressure from even Uber driving. I

192
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 5: know people Jay that is given everything they got.

193
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 3: How many how many Uber drivers do you know?

194
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 5: Their driver with sticks because they paralyzed. They ain't telling

195
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 5: you somebody that's trying to do everything they got. I

196
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 5: don't know what else.

197
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 3: So what happens with him.

198
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: With the medical Uh what do you call that medical insurance? Right?

199
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 5: He's on Medicaid, he's on those those types of programs.

200
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 5: So what happens with the seven, eight, nine times pills?

201
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 5: He got to take a day for various health issues

202
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 5: from being paralyzed. This is the real deal. The people

203
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 5: ain't don't want to talk about. This is about to hurt,

204
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 5: Like we really literally hurt people for real, and we're

205
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 5: gonna be hurting bad. It's not a scare tactic. So

206
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 5: the only other ways is for people to see it

207
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 5: in real time. They can't warn you because that didn't work.

208
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 5: They said, that's just being a Democrats shield and just

209
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 5: capping for the LGBT, the initiative or whatever it was.

210
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 5: So once we get through all of that, what is

211
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 5: it going to look like? And I am hard on Democrats.

212
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 5: I know Democrats ain't being shit. I'm hard on them, Jay,

213
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 5: but I'm just telling you this all the way went

214
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 5: all the way to the right getting rid of the

215
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 5: Department of Education. I just talked to my best friend

216
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 5: who we've had on the show before. I should have

217
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 5: been a teacher twenty five years. They are now going

218
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 5: to a four day work week. Teachers doing a four

219
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 5: day work week in a society where children.

220
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 3: Are already behind in China. Wow.

221
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 5: And the teachers are gonna get a brunt of it

222
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 5: because when they can meet their expectations and they can't

223
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 5: meet their marks, they won't have no job either. So

224
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 5: this is about funding, you know, I pretty much always

225
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 5: feel like teacher is a safe job.

226
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 3: At the end of the day.

227
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 5: I can go teach. I don't even know if that's

228
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 5: true anymore, Jade. So now the five days a week,

229
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 5: that's not enough for the children. Now you gotta do

230
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 5: it in four days a week because they can't afford

231
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 5: to keep.

232
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 3: The doors open.

233
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 5: She said that almost have the school ain't been showing

234
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 5: up because of immigration.

235
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: Yes, that is with my education consulting what I've been

236
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: saying around the country. I've been checking in with principles

237
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: and stuff, and attendance on average has dipped about fifteen

238
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: to ten percent. Parents coming to schools trying to have

239
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: PTA meetings and stuff like that.

240
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 4: Forget about it. A lot of them are scared, they're

241
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 4: not doing it.

242
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 2: And to some of the you know schools I've spoken to,

243
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: ice has actually shown up. So people are scared people

244
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: are not coming to school. And also it's just impacting

245
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 2: a lot of systemic things.

246
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 5: And when people don't come to school, you can't count

247
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,359
Speaker 5: them for funding. They get paid for a child exactly.

248
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 5: So again, if immigration is your issue, and you're like Tess,

249
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 5: I'm with it because we need to clean it up. Okay,

250
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 5: I'm just telling you the road's gonna be bumpy through

251
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 5: this cleanup. It's kind of like if in a relationship

252
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 5: and you say, y'all know some people like I don't

253
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 5: want to go to counseling because I don't want to

254
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 5: have to open up those wounds, you know, I don't

255
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 5: want to have to deal with it. I'm just let

256
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 5: you know, we're just getting ready to have to deal

257
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 5: with it. We're getting ready to have to deal with it.

258
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 5: If you think Trump and then over there playing in

259
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 5: Gaza and that holy ward that's been going on for

260
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 5: hundreds and hundreds of years, and there's no consequence to that,

261
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 5: I guess we're gonna see in real time. That's called

262
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 5: bell to ask, definitely. So we're just gonna have to

263
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 5: see in real time midterms next time. It'll be simple.

264
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 5: If you like the way things are going now, continue on.

265
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 5: You want to get rid of the Department of Education.

266
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 5: Bet want more federal layoffs? Bet if you say this

267
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 5: money we're gonna save is all of a sudden gonna

268
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 5: make a difference in your everyday life. Bet we'll see.

269
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 5: If it do great, I'm rooting for us all but

270
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 5: do But if it don't, you have another decision to make.

271
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 5: No more talking about what's going to happen. We are

272
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 5: in the phase of actually finding out Democrats have thrown

273
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 5: their hands up. I hate to say it, Jay, because

274
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 5: I love to see them be fighters, but I also

275
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 5: want to tell y'all know, they can't be Trump. What

276
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 5: else can they do? He got the House, the Senate,

277
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 5: the courts. They're not a better marketers than him, They're

278
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 5: not better organized. I'm just telling you true. They can't

279
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 5: beat them on his messaging. Every day is a press

280
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 5: conference for him. He got the digital they got the

281
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 5: digital discipline with regurgitating their.

282
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 3: Stories over and over and over and over.

283
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 5: They got the am market lockdown, the podcast market lockdown,

284
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 5: the cable news lockdown. So how can a Democrat be

285
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 5: do any campaign against them other than people fucking around

286
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 5: and finding out exactly I get it for Gress's man, Oh,

287
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 5: they need to be speaking up. Why this is what

288
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 5: everybody said they wanted. Yeah, but the people won't be

289
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 5: hurting as a result. But this is gonna be their campaign.

290
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 5: They don't have, you know, they don't have anything else

291
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 5: to run on except.

292
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: What just happened. I wouldn't be surprised of all of

293
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 3: a sudden, some magical you know.

294
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 5: I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but I wouldn't be

295
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 5: surprised some magical pandemic appears all of a sudden the

296
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 5: blame shit on that, because we're not gonna have a

297
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 5: pandemic to.

298
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 3: Blame it on.

299
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 5: This is just actually going to be about what happened

300
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 5: this year, moving forward and the results of it.

301
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: Definitely, And honestly, we're only thirty something days in, so

302
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: this is the first thirty days. What is the next

303
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: And I think you say he's already completed forty percent

304
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: or what's the pen.

305
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 4: He's already completed.

306
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: As of Monday, he had already completed about thirty five

307
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 2: percent of his agenda of everything he said he would

308
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 2: do within the first one hundred days. So since my day,

309
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: he's also signed additional executive orders and has given out

310
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: more order so he's really on track for accomplishing all

311
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: the things he said he was going to do in

312
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,840

440
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 5: was at dinner last night with my friend got two kids,

441
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:09,520

Speaker 5: the ship gonna look like? I don't like what is

445
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 5: looking like, Jade, but I want to remain hopeful. I

446
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 5: want to remain that. But I will say this and

447
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 5: closing so the people don't be like, damn, let me

448
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 5: go jump out the room jump. I'm just trying to

449
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 5: get people as realistic options as possible.

450
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 3: But I will say this, Jay.

451
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 5: One thing I do know is when it when they

452
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 5: when them white folks start getting affected, they kind of

453
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 5: started making some changes.

454
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 2: They take it to this. They gonna get gangster want

455
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 2: to they're gonna turn up. We're want to see all

456
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: the types of meltdowns and then you will see.

457
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 5: Yep, that's right. So the white folks might be able

458
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 5: to save themselves. We're gonna see black people. Don't We

459
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 5: done did all we can do. But let's see if

460
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 5: the white people go. Because when it started affecting their money,

461
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 5: when they should start, you know, then the all case

462
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,959
Speaker 5: shit kind of started looking different, definitely, So that is

463
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 5: some hope that they may. I don't think we can

464
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 5: save them, but they might be able to say themselves.

465
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 5: Because I know one thing to show the people in

466
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 5: all the people in Hollywood that told Joe Biden to

467
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 5: get off the ticket and set that up for that

468
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 5: whatever they thought this was about to be. When people

469
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 5: ain't able to buy their tickets and go to their

470
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 5: concerts and investigate shit and you know, help them with

471
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 5: their movies and do all that, when it kind of,

472
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 5: you know, start hitting home a little bit, definitely, they

473
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 5: got to start giving more money than they trailer park

474
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 5: cousins and you know all that kind of stuff.

475
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe they'll switch it up.

476
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 2: I've just never seen anything like this before. It's has

477
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: and i know you're not the conspiracy theorist type, but

478
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 2: I am.

479
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 3: I can be. You know, somebody can.

480
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: There's theories is real though, like some of this is real, yeah,

481
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: because I'm like, yo, like when they didn't prepare a

482
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 2: bench because Biden say he was going to run for

483
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 2: one term, did they plan this the whole time?

484
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 4: Because this was just an.

485
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 2: Epic failure of a failure of magnets great proportions, and

486
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: we're seeing what Trump can accomplish within the first thirty days.

487
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, It's just like this just seems like

488
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 2: just a concerted effort to just do a complete overhaul,

489
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 2: and the Democrats did not fight hard enough, they did

490
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 2: not do their due diligence. And the American people, I'm sorry,

491
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: American people actually wanted this.

492
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 3: They voted for it.

493
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 2: So it just seems like it's just so many layers

494
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 2: to this. But it's just a huge shakeup. I know

495
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: people that are impacted by the annoyances of emails from

496
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: Doge talking about sending your full bullet points to you know.

497
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 2: I know people who have been off and they have

498
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 2: not worked in an office for over four years or

499
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 2: however long, and now they're back in the office. There's

500
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 2: no parking spaces, there's limited you know, workspace in some

501
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 2: of these government these federal offices that have really been

502
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 2: downsizing their physical space, Like folks are heavily, heavily, heavily

503
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 2: impacted and then also on edge even more. I know

504
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 2: senior level government employees that have had to have sit

505
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 2: down conversations with new government federal government employees that were

506
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 2: on probation that had to get fired because that was

507
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 2: like one of the first directives, right, anyone who's in

508
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 2: that grace period who are.

509
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 4: New hires, get rid of them.

510
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 2: M hm. So not sure how these agencies are gonna function,

511
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 2: Not sure what tax season is gonna look like. People

512
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 2: depend on their refunds. A whole bunch of IRS workers

513
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 2: have been fired. This is just a colossal shit show.

514
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 2: Since it is I my friend of works for the government.

515
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 2: He was like, oh, no, we're gonna be fine. We're

516
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 2: gonna be fine.

517
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 5: They're gonna just he disliked it with everything sometime be

518
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 5: irritake because he just sees one of them guys is

519
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 5: just believe in trying to keep calm and don't worry

520
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 5: about it, and know they said we're gonna make our

521
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 5: own discretion. Oh yeah, he's back at the office now,

522
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 5: bank at the office. My best friend also back at

523
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 5: the office, was working from home.

524
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 3: Back in office.

525
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 4: Interesting looking at people all day.

526
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 5: And I know some people that I kind of miss

527
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 5: being in office. I do like going to the office

528
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 5: when I get a chance. But this is not even

529
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 5: about an option at this point. This is just what

530
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 5: you're gonna do.

531
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 2: People who have been at home have not had to

532
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 2: drive or spend gas or all that extra time, you know,

533
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,239
Speaker 2: commuting from you know this place of that place. I mean,

534
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,959
Speaker 2: especially with these gas prices, that's a whole other expense

535
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 2: that you have to factor into your household, especially if

536
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 2: you have multiple people in your household that now have

537
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 2: to commute and go into the office just because they said.

538
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 5: So yep, well, hey, y'all say that was taking a

539
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 5: mental health break and tapped out and you know, said,

540
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 5: y'all done with it. So this would have looked like

541
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 5: and I know some people that's been struggling with it

542
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 5: and it was really hard for him to go into

543
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 5: the office. They got a job at home because they

544
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 5: were able to function better.

545
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 3: They don't care. But none of that they're telling y'all

546
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 3: get over that mental health and get over that anxiety.

547
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 5: Bring your ass back in the office, right, Some people

548
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 5: do function better in the office, So I ain't gonna

549
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 5: lie about that. It will be a lot of slacking

550
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 5: at the house. Everybody can't have that level of discipline.

551
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 5: I mean, we're just gonna be honest about it. I missed,

552
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 5: but I've been self employed back and forth at home,

553
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 5: you know, for seventeen years, so I do like going

554
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 5: to the office. You know, today I alsopos to go

555
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 5: to the office, But to your point, I don't have to,

556
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 5: and I wasn't gonna spend the month. So when I'm

557
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 5: in Atlanta, I'm ubering most times.

558
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 3: So I'm not rich.

559
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 5: I know the rest of them like to pretend they're rich,

560
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 5: but I'm not. So I'm like, girl, I've been at home,

561
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 5: but like I have went. I had to go to

562
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 5: an event last night. Shout out to angela guie event

563
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 5: with her. But I go, like, if I have to go,

564
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 5: you know, I'm not gonna spend money just to go,

565
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 5: to your point, like for what, you know, just to

566
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 5: go just to go. I'll be in the office all

567
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 5: day tomorrow because I got you know, to film. But

568
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 5: other than that beautiful office too, and I actually enjoy

569
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 5: sometimes just getting out of the four walls.

570
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, we have to see what's going on with

571
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 4: this government shut down.

572
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 2: We know that a spending built like a spending package

573
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 2: was approved in the House, and so we have to

574
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 2: see what happens next.

575
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 4: At this point, if you ask me, things are running like.

576
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: I want to say organized, prim with a mafia, I

577
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: would just say super organized.

578
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

579
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 4: Organized.

580
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 2: And it's very efficient by the way, right, because when

581
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 2: you have all three branches of government on the same page,

582
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: and they're on the same agenda, and they're answering to

583
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 2: and they have loyalty to the same person, for the

584
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 2: most part, things get done.

585
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 4: Hella hella, hella fast hello.

586
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 5: Well that and plus they don't give it down, so

587
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 5: you know, going through the right for you know, the

588
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 5: we gotta go through Congress, they gotta get approved.

589
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 3: They got this, it got that.

590
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 5: Trump is shown you how fast things can happen. But

591
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 5: it's bruling by his authoritative authority, not authority authority and

592
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 5: government you know, executive orders just doing you know, that's

593
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 5: not the way people have wanted to rule, but that's

594
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 5: the way it got to be moving forward, moving forward

595
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 5: to Democrats get back in, y'all got executive order, all

596
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,239
Speaker 5: the same shit, and and let tell Congress to catch up.

597
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: You gotta. That's how it's gonna be moving forward definitely,

598
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 3: so we'll see baby. Well, I don't mean to be

599
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 3: doom and gloom, you know.

600
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 5: But I did want people to know, like this is

601
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 5: for real, guys, and I want you to prepare. Bunker

602
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 5: down and prepare. I do believe there's a bright side,

603
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 5: but right now, I just got to look at what's

604
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 5: in front of us. So if you know people in

605
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 5: the government jobs, jobs, if you got friends, it's saying

606
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be fine, it's gonna be all right. Start

607
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 5: telling them guys to prepare. A lot of these government

608
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 5: people ja they can't just trans transfer those skills into

609
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 5: other work environments. That's people don't understand because telling my sister,

610
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 5: like you almost retirement with a teacher, but being a teacher,

611
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,719
Speaker 5: it's not like home Depot gonna hire you to run

612
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 5: the HR department. You're literally a teacher, that's all you've done.

613
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 5: They don't hire you in corporate And you know what

614
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 5: I'm saying, like you don't so a lot of those

615
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 5: government jobs a specialist somebody been a specialist for whatever whatever,

616
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 5: you know, special projects, gs or living, you know whatever.

617
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 3: Where do they go in the private sector.

618
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 5: I do know there's some jobs, but it's not like

619
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 5: you know, those jobs are very specialized jobs.

620
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,959
Speaker 2: And then there's jobs, and some of these skills may

621
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 2: be transferable to some nonprofit organizations, but even those are

622
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 2: these our profits.

623
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 5: They ain't even about to be funded exactly. So you

624
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 5: can't definitely be going to nonprofit. That's the last place

625
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 5: hiring you. So you got to go back into the

626
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 5: public sector and to the corporate sector. And I can't

627
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 5: tell you right now.

628
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:08,000

629
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 5: Corporate America a long time. The only jobs that are

630
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 5: halfway secure off anything is the jobs that know how

631
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 5: to bring money to the table, literally bring money to

632
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 5: the table.

633
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 4: You mean, like banking, real estate or whatever, not.

634
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 3: Even because that's way no customer.

635
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 5: I'm just saying hustle like whatever it is that you're in,

636
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 5: like a conversation you and I were having offline, Like

637
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 5: when I when I'm partnered up with somebody, I'm not

638
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 5: just partnered up in a you know, a one directional way.

639
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 5: I'm looking at sales. I'm looking at marketing, I'm looking

640
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 5: at pr I'm looking at you know, what do you

641
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 5: bring to the table. You know, in addition you know

642
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 5: that that where's your value at? Are you growing the

643
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 5: company's bottom line in one way or the other. So,

644
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 5: whether it's banking, marketing, really whatever, you know, do you

645
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 5: need workers? Everybody doesn't do that. But if I gotta,

646
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 5: if I gotta keeping employee, and I got one that

647
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 5: does a great job, and one to do a great

648
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 5: job but also adds other value, other things, you know,

649
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 5: other things that can either help me make money or

650

Speaker 5: they bring me money if I can secure more just

651
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 5: some a small but you know, we talk about this

652
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 5: all the time, just on a small business. If you

653
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 5: on my team allows me to bring in three, four,

654
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 5: five contracts, you are now a more a more attractive

655
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 5: candidate than somebody that just can do what they do,

656
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. So you have to there's

657
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 5: a way I gotta be able to look at you,

658
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 5: Jade and say does this person increase my bottom line?

659
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 2: Mm hm?

660
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 5: Because you're standing around, sitting around and you and you're

661
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 5: not doing enough that I can either either you bringing

662
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 5: money in or I can go get money because of you.

663
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 5: Those are the people that that's gonna survive. And even

664
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 5: then we're still gonna be underpaid and overworked, definitely. So

665
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 5: when people say what they ain't gonna do and I

666
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 5: ain't gonna be able to do it all that, well,

667
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,720

668
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,800

Speaker 5: to overwhelm me. So I'm just trying because it feels

758
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 5: unwhelming to me. So I'm just trying to get people

759
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 5: in a mindset of can you get twenty five people?

760
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 5: If you don't trust your church. I understand that because

761
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 5: religion has let us down. But if you have one

762
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 5: that you can connect to, fine, if it's a sorority,

763
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 5: a fraternity, whatever, find if you're creating your own sorority.

764
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 5: You don't just link in with somebody off the internet

765
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 5: and get someone on one FaceTime interaction of saying we

766
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,319

00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 5: saying how can we figure this out? How can if

772
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,439
Speaker 5: we're all motivated to win, how can we figure it out?

773
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 5: So that's what I'm encouraging people to do. Because if NAJA, depression, anxiety, suicide,

774
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 5: all of that is, watch those numbers.

775
