0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 5>tail thirty like seriously, seriously, seriously. This is not about

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 5>bad begging. It's not about trying to be popular, Jade.

0:00:55.880 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 5>It is about what it is period new It's not profitable,

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 5>it's not popular. Some days it is, some days it's not.

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 5>So we need everybody to literally tap in, and I

<v Speaker 5>need you guys to tap in because as we go

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:15.759
<v Speaker 5>through this belt to ask, because this is the Belt

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 5>to Ask program that we own. As we go through

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 5>Belt to Ask, I'm going to be giving information, real

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 5>time solutions, Shade, You're gonna hear me say them over

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 5>and over and over, the same ones, over and over

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 5>and over, because we can't catch everybody, and we need

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 5>to be repetitive on what people can do right now.

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:40.399
<v Speaker 5>Because in myself, it's great to have these long term visions.

0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.120
<v Speaker 5>It's great to talk about what we need to do

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:43.480
<v Speaker 5>in the next one hundred years.

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 3>It's great to.

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 5>Talk about in the next fifty, the next twenty five.

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 5>We need to build our own industry up. We need

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 5>to do for self, We need to this for that.

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 5>It's great to sell these ideas of being completely free

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 5>of government interference, which by the way, is not possible

0:01:58.240 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 5>in America.

0:01:58.800 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 3>We're in America.

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 5>Everything you report, everything you have unless you're gonna Are

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 5>you starting a Department of Treasury? Are you starting your

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 5>own arrests? Are you starting your own common Department of commerce?

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 5>Like I'm all about to do for self, But I'm

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 5>also about doing not doing lies, and giving people actual,

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.920
<v Speaker 5>real solutions that make sense while still trying to gain

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 5>as much independence as we possibly can. Yes, and everybody

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:30.519
<v Speaker 5>Jay can sell hair products. Everybody can't sell moisturizer. Everybody

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 5>can sell lotion. Do we have a pharmaceutical industry?

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 4>No, we don't.

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 5>Where's the scientist that's making the medicine. Where are the

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 5>farms because according to my records, the black farmers, we

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 5>have to sue for them to have access. Yes, And

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 5>how many people got chickens at their house with this

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 5>egg shortage?

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.639
<v Speaker 4>I don't have one, but I'm thinking about renting one.

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:59.359
<v Speaker 5>Like real talk, Like let's stop, we gotta there's a

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 5>dupe for sale. But I'm gonna be honest when we

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.520
<v Speaker 5>say we're not our ancestors. No, our ancestors actually got

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 5>a better shot because they knew how to fish, knew

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 5>how to.

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 4>Can food yeap, knew how to hunt, knew.

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 5>How to hunt, knew how to sew, knew how to

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 5>stretch things, knew how to live together, knew how to

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 5>build community. What we know how to do go on

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 5>social media and talk. That's no offense, It's just what

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 5>it is. This is why I'm pushing micro organizing. Micro

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 5>organizing in your town. Fifty people, twenty five people, one

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 5>hundred realistic things. Jade because bell to ask is on

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 5>the way.

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 3>Bell to ask is on the way. Tell him what

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 3>do you mean by bell to ask? It means.

0:03:56.360 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 5>This is what America wanted. People got tied the Democrats.

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 5>I'm with you, I was too. People said the Democrats

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 5>was weak.

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm with you. People said they don't give black people enough.

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm with you. But now the alternative was Trump. People said,

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm of old Trump. I don't care. Let you know.

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 5>They need to learn lesson bet Well. Now, Jay, we're

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 5>in the lesson finding that mold. That means it's gonna

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 5>get worse before it get better, before either Republicans get

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.360
<v Speaker 5>it together, or Democrats get it together, or whoever the

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 5>Do for Self movement get it together. Whatever it is,

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 5>we gotta get there. It's gonna get harder before it

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.600
<v Speaker 5>get worse. It's not a scare tactic. It's not trying

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 5>to make nobody you know, afraid, but your damn show

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.240
<v Speaker 5>better be concerned. And the belt to ask is when

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 5>big Mama will tell you to go outside. If you're

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:50.160
<v Speaker 5>from that generation, get a switched, get your own switch.

0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 5>So what America has done is pulled its own switch

0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 5>off the tree. And now it's belt to ask on

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:05.039
<v Speaker 5>March thirteen, massive federal layoffs are in play.

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 3>Massive. You're in the Maryland area, right in.

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 5>The heart of DC. Yep, DC, yep, right there. When

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 5>we look at the median income, let's just go by facts.

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 5>I know, due for self ain't ain't a you know,

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 5>ain't big on this, ain't big on people having jobs.

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 5>But somebody actually got to have a job sometime. Everybody

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 5>can sell hair products. And when the people that do

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:34.920
<v Speaker 5>sell help hair products, somebody gotta buying.

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 3>So nothing wrong. Who would having a job.

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So just so you know, and the median household

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:46.720
<v Speaker 2>income for the DMV that's DC, Maryland and Virginia in

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and two, that number was one hundred and

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 2>nineteen thousand, eight hundred and three dollars. So that was

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:57.039
<v Speaker 2>back in two thousand, excuse me, twenty twenty two, and

0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 2>now we're in twenty twenty five, you know, so that

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:04.839
<v Speaker 2>is still significantly above the average.

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:06.280
<v Speaker 4>You know, people are making.

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Money down there, and it's because the largest employer in

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 2>the DMV is the federal government tas.

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:12.480
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 5>So these massive layoffs that are about to happen, guess

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:18.680
<v Speaker 5>whore getting hit. I know, we like to say Oh,

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:20.599
<v Speaker 5>white people don't get hit worse just in sure numbers,

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 5>We got that. But who's gonna be Who's gonna have

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 5>a better chance in an unemployment line? White man or

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:29.039
<v Speaker 5>the black man? Oh the white men? Yeah, it ain't

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 5>Nona d a I too. So nobody got to hire

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.680
<v Speaker 5>anybody based on nothing. So who who's going to have

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:35.720
<v Speaker 5>a better chance? White man and black white man? That's

0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:41.560
<v Speaker 5>the bottom line. That's the bottom line our middle class

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 5>if as far as black middle class is concerned, if

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 5>people make more money in DC, as far as employer

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 5>is concerned, that's like a good chunk of our middle class.

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 4>Definitely.

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:57.599
<v Speaker 2>But this is the thing to tas the median household

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:02.039
<v Speaker 2>income in the DMV decreased by ten thousand dollars in

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.279
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three. So you know how I said, in

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty two it was like one hundred and nineteen

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars and some well, in twenty twenty three was

0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and eight thousand dollars. So people already struggling.

0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Just in general, people are already struggling the economy and

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 2>inflation is doing what it does, and so that is

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:26.920
<v Speaker 2>definitely impacting the household income so now with all of

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:31.679
<v Speaker 2>these layoffs and folks just losing their jobs and everything

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 2>else going on, these terarists are about to hit. I

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 2>can only imagine what that looks like in the DMV

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 2>with them being the largest federal government, you know employer.

0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and USAID found eighty two thousand.

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 5>So I found even lord than that that the average

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 5>was eighty two thousand, but forty percent earning one hundred

0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 5>thousand or more. But again, all of these things you

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 5>just mentioned. The tariffs are hitting next week, then you

0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 5>say it was next week, yes, a March four, So

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 5>March fourth.

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 2>We Trump already said it's already set into motion, twenty

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 2>five percent tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada and

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 2>ten percent tariffs on goods from China.

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:18.000
<v Speaker 5>And even though we're putting the tariff on them, well,

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 5>oh well, they're goods coming over here.

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 3>So that means it's gonna go up. Correct, that's just math,

0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 3>that's just gonna go up.

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And listen, any type of supply you have for

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 2>your let's say you do have a black business, especially

0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 2>if you have a black brick and mortar, if you

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:34.600
<v Speaker 2>have things that are being shipped in, how can black,

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 2>the average black business owner compete with this level of

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, inflation and with these tariffs, and so folks

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 2>are talking about do for self. I'm all about self determination,

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.440
<v Speaker 2>but we have to look at the full context of

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 2>everything that's happening and be really rational about what we're saying.

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.080
<v Speaker 5>Well, that's what BELTAZ is all about. You know, you

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 5>can't we're at a state of a place now, Jay,

0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.439
<v Speaker 5>that warning doesn't matter. You know when people's said Project

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 5>twenty twenty five wasn't real, Well, the one that came

0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.680
<v Speaker 5>in to make these cuts and said that these cuts

0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:16.160
<v Speaker 5>would be immediate, it's actually Russell Voight who was one

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.880
<v Speaker 5>of the authors of Project twenty twenty five. He's over

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:22.040
<v Speaker 5>the Office of Management and Budget that is doing these

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 5>massive layoffs. So you know, we can say it was

0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 5>a scare tactic, say it wasn't real, say.

0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 3>It really don't matter. Well, none of that matters.

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 5>We're gonna get a chance to see in real time,

0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.320
<v Speaker 5>like how does this gonna affect everyday people? The really

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 5>we really are with medicaid now saying you know what,

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:38.520
<v Speaker 5>y'all need to go to work if y'all want to

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 5>get medicaid.

0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.599
<v Speaker 3>The poor people disabled.

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:43.560
<v Speaker 5>All of that, you need to figure out how to

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 5>go to work, need to literally figure it out, even

0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:48.640
<v Speaker 5>though seventy percent already go to work, school and some

0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 5>type of program. No, they want that extra thirty percent

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 5>that can't work, because let's be clear, a lot of

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:58.560
<v Speaker 5>people literally can't work, like literally can't be on my

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 5>friend or you know, my best friend is paralyzes, literally

0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.320
<v Speaker 5>can't sit in the chair for a certain amount of

0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 5>time without getting sores and feet, just had its toe

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.840
<v Speaker 5>imputated from too much pressure from even Uber driving. I

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 5>know people Jay that is given everything they got.

0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:18.920
<v Speaker 3>How many how many Uber drivers do you know?

0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 5>Their driver with sticks because they paralyzed. They ain't telling

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.120
<v Speaker 5>you somebody that's trying to do everything they got. I

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:24.880
<v Speaker 5>don't know what else.

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:30.960
<v Speaker 3>So what happens with him.

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 2>With the medical Uh what do you call that medical insurance? Right?

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 5>He's on Medicaid, he's on those those types of programs.

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:42.680
<v Speaker 5>So what happens with the seven, eight, nine times pills?

0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 5>He got to take a day for various health issues

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.200
<v Speaker 5>from being paralyzed. This is the real deal. The people

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:51.559
<v Speaker 5>ain't don't want to talk about. This is about to hurt,

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:57.160
<v Speaker 5>Like we really literally hurt people for real, and we're

0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:01.719
<v Speaker 5>gonna be hurting bad. It's not a scare tactic. So

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:03.679
<v Speaker 5>the only other ways is for people to see it

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 5>in real time. They can't warn you because that didn't work.

0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.480
<v Speaker 5>They said, that's just being a Democrats shield and just

0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 5>capping for the LGBT, the initiative or whatever it was.

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 5>So once we get through all of that, what is

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.680
<v Speaker 5>it going to look like? And I am hard on Democrats.

0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:21.840
<v Speaker 5>I know Democrats ain't being shit. I'm hard on them, Jay,

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 5>but I'm just telling you this all the way went

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.800
<v Speaker 5>all the way to the right getting rid of the

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:29.600
<v Speaker 5>Department of Education. I just talked to my best friend

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 5>who we've had on the show before. I should have

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.560
<v Speaker 5>been a teacher twenty five years. They are now going

0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 5>to a four day work week. Teachers doing a four

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 5>day work week in a society where children.

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 3>Are already behind in China. Wow.

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 5>And the teachers are gonna get a brunt of it

0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 5>because when they can meet their expectations and they can't

0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.560
<v Speaker 5>meet their marks, they won't have no job either. So

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 5>this is about funding, you know, I pretty much always

0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 5>feel like teacher is a safe job.

0:11:58.200 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 3>At the end of the day.

0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:00.679
<v Speaker 5>I can go teach. I don't even know if that's

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 5>true anymore, Jade. So now the five days a week,

0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 5>that's not enough for the children. Now you gotta do

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.280
<v Speaker 5>it in four days a week because they can't afford

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:13.640
<v Speaker 5>to keep.

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:14.199
<v Speaker 3>The doors open.

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 5>She said that almost have the school ain't been showing

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 5>up because of immigration.

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that is with my education consulting what I've been

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.160
<v Speaker 2>saying around the country. I've been checking in with principles

0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.600
<v Speaker 2>and stuff, and attendance on average has dipped about fifteen

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:37.240
<v Speaker 2>to ten percent. Parents coming to schools trying to have

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:38.600
<v Speaker 2>PTA meetings and stuff like that.

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 4>Forget about it. A lot of them are scared, they're

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:41.400
<v Speaker 4>not doing it.

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 2>And to some of the you know schools I've spoken to,

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:47.800
<v Speaker 2>ice has actually shown up. So people are scared people

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 2>are not coming to school. And also it's just impacting

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:53.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot of systemic things.

0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.040
<v Speaker 5>And when people don't come to school, you can't count

0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.359
<v Speaker 5>them for funding. They get paid for a child exactly.

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.760
<v Speaker 5>So again, if immigration is your issue, and you're like Tess,

0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:06.840
<v Speaker 5>I'm with it because we need to clean it up. Okay,

0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.120
<v Speaker 5>I'm just telling you the road's gonna be bumpy through

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:13.079
<v Speaker 5>this cleanup. It's kind of like if in a relationship

0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 5>and you say, y'all know some people like I don't

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:16.360
<v Speaker 5>want to go to counseling because I don't want to

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 5>have to open up those wounds, you know, I don't

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:19.440
<v Speaker 5>want to have to deal with it. I'm just let

0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:20.680
<v Speaker 5>you know, we're just getting ready to have to deal

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:22.880
<v Speaker 5>with it. We're getting ready to have to deal with it.

0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 5>If you think Trump and then over there playing in

0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:27.839
<v Speaker 5>Gaza and that holy ward that's been going on for

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.200
<v Speaker 5>hundreds and hundreds of years, and there's no consequence to that,

0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.000
<v Speaker 5>I guess we're gonna see in real time. That's called

0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 5>bell to ask, definitely. So we're just gonna have to

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 5>see in real time midterms next time. It'll be simple.

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 5>If you like the way things are going now, continue on.

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:46.360
<v Speaker 5>You want to get rid of the Department of Education.

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.319
<v Speaker 5>Bet want more federal layoffs? Bet if you say this

0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.520
<v Speaker 5>money we're gonna save is all of a sudden gonna

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.960
<v Speaker 5>make a difference in your everyday life. Bet we'll see.

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:56.959
<v Speaker 5>If it do great, I'm rooting for us all but

0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.680
<v Speaker 5>do But if it don't, you have another decision to make.

0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:04.800
<v Speaker 5>No more talking about what's going to happen. We are

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 5>in the phase of actually finding out Democrats have thrown

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.800
<v Speaker 5>their hands up. I hate to say it, Jay, because

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.720
<v Speaker 5>I love to see them be fighters, but I also

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.560
<v Speaker 5>want to tell y'all know, they can't be Trump. What

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 5>else can they do? He got the House, the Senate,

0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 5>the courts. They're not a better marketers than him, They're

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 5>not better organized. I'm just telling you true. They can't

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:31.560
<v Speaker 5>beat them on his messaging. Every day is a press

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:35.600
<v Speaker 5>conference for him. He got the digital they got the

0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 5>digital discipline with regurgitating their.

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Stories over and over and over and over.

0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 5>They got the am market lockdown, the podcast market lockdown,

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 5>the cable news lockdown. So how can a Democrat be

0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.520
<v Speaker 5>do any campaign against them other than people fucking around

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:58.400
<v Speaker 5>and finding out exactly I get it for Gress's man, Oh,

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 5>they need to be speaking up. Why this is what

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.760
<v Speaker 5>everybody said they wanted. Yeah, but the people won't be

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 5>hurting as a result. But this is gonna be their campaign.

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.560
<v Speaker 5>They don't have, you know, they don't have anything else

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.600
<v Speaker 5>to run on except.

0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 3>What just happened. I wouldn't be surprised of all of

0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:15.400
<v Speaker 3>a sudden, some magical you know.

0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.840
<v Speaker 5>I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but I wouldn't be

0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 5>surprised some magical pandemic appears all of a sudden the

0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.360
<v Speaker 5>blame shit on that, because we're not gonna have a

0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:23.880
<v Speaker 5>pandemic to.

0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Blame it on.

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.360
<v Speaker 5>This is just actually going to be about what happened

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 5>this year, moving forward and the results of it.

0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Definitely, And honestly, we're only thirty something days in, so

0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.000
<v Speaker 2>this is the first thirty days. What is the next

0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 2>And I think you say he's already completed forty percent

0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:43.280
<v Speaker 2>or what's the pen.

0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 4>He's already completed.

0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.960
<v Speaker 2>As of Monday, he had already completed about thirty five

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 2>percent of his agenda of everything he said he would

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:56.200
<v Speaker 2>do within the first one hundred days. So since my day,

0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:59.520
<v Speaker 2>he's also signed additional executive orders and has given out

0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:04.200
<v Speaker 2>more order so he's really on track for accomplishing all

0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:05.520
<v Speaker 2>the things he said he was going to do in

0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 2>the first one hundred days. Remember, on day one, there

0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:11.840
<v Speaker 2>was controversy. You know, we're kind of like, well, he

0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.600
<v Speaker 2>said he's going to sign one hundred executive orders, Like really,

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 2>we're going to see if heed he signs one hundred

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:20.280
<v Speaker 2>executive orders. On day one, he actually signed like two hundred.

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 2>So there's that Trump is he ain't playing. He's not playing.

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.360
<v Speaker 2>He's very organized his team and they're ready.

0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:30.680
<v Speaker 4>They came in. They didn't just get into office and

0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:31.720
<v Speaker 4>figure out what they were gonna do.

0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:35.640
<v Speaker 2>They have been planning this for the last four years.

0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:35.960
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 5>So hey, guys, bilta ass, bunker down. I appreciate all

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.680
<v Speaker 5>my brothers. We're gonna have a good, ig healthy debate

0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.400
<v Speaker 5>on it, you know, about what does it mean to

0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 5>do for self? And we gotta be yo, okayalking about

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.360
<v Speaker 5>in the next fourteen days? Though, what do people do

0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:08.639
<v Speaker 5>in the next fourteen days? Y'all y'all not building these industries?

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:10.439
<v Speaker 5>Y'all talking about in fourteen day why they ain't been

0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:12.679
<v Speaker 5>built it? So I'm not against it, But in the

0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 5>next fourteen days, what do you do? So I am

0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.720
<v Speaker 5>telling you, I'm gonna keep telling y'all three things. Save

0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:25.320
<v Speaker 5>save your money, get your everyday expenses down, cut out

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.359
<v Speaker 5>whatever you can. I have had several people, may be

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.200
<v Speaker 5>four or five people, and my family's asked to borrow

0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:31.200
<v Speaker 5>money in the last thirty days.

0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:32.760
<v Speaker 3>It hurt me a lot. I just couldn't do it.

0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:34.880
<v Speaker 3>I literally just can't do it.

0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:37.560
<v Speaker 5>I can't depend on you giving me that two hundred

0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:40.800
<v Speaker 5>back in two weeks. I literally have to hold onto

0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:45.000
<v Speaker 5>everything I have period. You bet you can come live

0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:49.639
<v Speaker 5>with me. You can come sleep on the floor and

0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.960
<v Speaker 5>contribute some in this house, you know, to make it work.

0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:56.040
<v Speaker 5>But that's all I got. All I got is a

0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.960
<v Speaker 5>pillow off you. I can't give no more resources, Jay, say,

0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:06.240
<v Speaker 5>reduce your resources. This ain't the time to be doing

0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:09.240

<v Speaker 5>everybody all I better have baby for This is the

0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:55.160
<v Speaker 5>first time I've ever wonder, damn, should I have had

0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 5>a baby? And I love being a mother and I

0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:01.359
<v Speaker 5>love you. I've never thought about that, Jade. But I

0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:03.480
<v Speaker 5>was at dinner last night with my friend got two kids,

0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:09.520
<v Speaker 5>and we was like, we're in the third quarter of life, Jada,

0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:15.960
<v Speaker 5>first quarter? What's she She still got eighty ninety eighty

0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:20.000
<v Speaker 5>ninety years in the game, hopefully. Hm, what what is

0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:24.480
<v Speaker 5>the ship gonna look like? I don't like what is

0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:29.439
<v Speaker 5>looking like, Jade, but I want to remain hopeful. I

0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:33.320
<v Speaker 5>want to remain that. But I will say this and

0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:35.199
<v Speaker 5>closing so the people don't be like, damn, let me

0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:37.680
<v Speaker 5>go jump out the room jump. I'm just trying to

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:40.680
<v Speaker 5>get people as realistic options as possible.

0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:42.160
<v Speaker 3>But I will say this, Jay.

0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:44.720
<v Speaker 5>One thing I do know is when it when they

0:23:44.800 --> 0:23:47.320
<v Speaker 5>when them white folks start getting affected, they kind of

0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:48.480
<v Speaker 5>started making some changes.

0:23:49.640 --> 0:23:52.800
<v Speaker 2>They take it to this. They gonna get gangster want

0:23:52.840 --> 0:23:54.600
<v Speaker 2>to they're gonna turn up. We're want to see all

0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:56.720
<v Speaker 2>the types of meltdowns and then you will see.

0:23:57.600 --> 0:24:03.440
<v Speaker 5>Yep, that's right. So the white folks might be able

0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:06.119
<v Speaker 5>to save themselves. We're gonna see black people. Don't We

0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:07.800
<v Speaker 5>done did all we can do. But let's see if

0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:10.200
<v Speaker 5>the white people go. Because when it started affecting their money,

0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:13.000
<v Speaker 5>when they should start, you know, then the all case

0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:16.959
<v Speaker 5>shit kind of started looking different, definitely, So that is

0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 5>some hope that they may. I don't think we can

0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:22.240
<v Speaker 5>save them, but they might be able to say themselves.

0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:24.280
<v Speaker 5>Because I know one thing to show the people in

0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:26.359
<v Speaker 5>all the people in Hollywood that told Joe Biden to

0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:27.919
<v Speaker 5>get off the ticket and set that up for that

0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:30.280
<v Speaker 5>whatever they thought this was about to be. When people

0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:32.080
<v Speaker 5>ain't able to buy their tickets and go to their

0:24:32.119 --> 0:24:35.439
<v Speaker 5>concerts and investigate shit and you know, help them with

0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:37.760
<v Speaker 5>their movies and do all that, when it kind of,

0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:40.840
<v Speaker 5>you know, start hitting home a little bit, definitely, they

0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:42.840
<v Speaker 5>got to start giving more money than they trailer park

0:24:42.920 --> 0:24:45.080
<v Speaker 5>cousins and you know all that kind of stuff.

0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:46.320
<v Speaker 3>Maybe maybe they'll switch it up.

0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:52.880
<v Speaker 2>I've just never seen anything like this before. It's has

0:24:53.080 --> 0:24:56.480
<v Speaker 2>and i know you're not the conspiracy theorist type, but

0:24:56.600 --> 0:24:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I am.

0:24:57.119 --> 0:24:59.840
<v Speaker 3>I can be. You know, somebody can.

0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:02.800
<v Speaker 2>There's theories is real though, like some of this is real, yeah,

0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:06.600
<v Speaker 2>because I'm like, yo, like when they didn't prepare a

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:08.920
<v Speaker 2>bench because Biden say he was going to run for

0:25:09.000 --> 0:25:10.960
<v Speaker 2>one term, did they plan this the whole time?

0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:12.880
<v Speaker 4>Because this was just an.

0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Epic failure of a failure of magnets great proportions, and

0:25:18.119 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 2>we're seeing what Trump can accomplish within the first thirty days.

0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, It's just like this just seems like

0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:30.000
<v Speaker 2>just a concerted effort to just do a complete overhaul,

0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:34.000
<v Speaker 2>and the Democrats did not fight hard enough, they did

0:25:34.119 --> 0:25:37.600
<v Speaker 2>not do their due diligence. And the American people, I'm sorry,

0:25:37.760 --> 0:25:39.280
<v Speaker 2>American people actually wanted this.

0:25:39.400 --> 0:25:40.200
<v Speaker 3>They voted for it.

0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:42.919
<v Speaker 2>So it just seems like it's just so many layers

0:25:42.960 --> 0:25:46.600
<v Speaker 2>to this. But it's just a huge shakeup. I know

0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:52.600
<v Speaker 2>people that are impacted by the annoyances of emails from

0:25:52.720 --> 0:25:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Doge talking about sending your full bullet points to you know.

0:25:56.640 --> 0:25:58.520
<v Speaker 2>I know people who have been off and they have

0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:02.040
<v Speaker 2>not worked in an office for over four years or

0:26:02.160 --> 0:26:04.680
<v Speaker 2>however long, and now they're back in the office. There's

0:26:04.680 --> 0:26:07.680
<v Speaker 2>no parking spaces, there's limited you know, workspace in some

0:26:07.800 --> 0:26:10.800
<v Speaker 2>of these government these federal offices that have really been

0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:15.119
<v Speaker 2>downsizing their physical space, Like folks are heavily, heavily, heavily

0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:18.480
<v Speaker 2>impacted and then also on edge even more. I know

0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:21.920
<v Speaker 2>senior level government employees that have had to have sit

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:25.359
<v Speaker 2>down conversations with new government federal government employees that were

0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:27.680
<v Speaker 2>on probation that had to get fired because that was

0:26:27.720 --> 0:26:30.119
<v Speaker 2>like one of the first directives, right, anyone who's in

0:26:30.200 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 2>that grace period who are.

0:26:31.640 --> 0:26:33.680
<v Speaker 4>New hires, get rid of them.

0:26:34.320 --> 0:26:37.760
<v Speaker 2>M hm. So not sure how these agencies are gonna function,

0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Not sure what tax season is gonna look like. People

0:26:39.960 --> 0:26:42.960
<v Speaker 2>depend on their refunds. A whole bunch of IRS workers

0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:47.359
<v Speaker 2>have been fired. This is just a colossal shit show.

0:26:47.680 --> 0:26:50.119
<v Speaker 2>Since it is I my friend of works for the government.

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:51.439
<v Speaker 2>He was like, oh, no, we're gonna be fine. We're

0:26:51.440 --> 0:26:51.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna be fine.

0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:54.520
<v Speaker 5>They're gonna just he disliked it with everything sometime be

0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:56.399
<v Speaker 5>irritake because he just sees one of them guys is

0:26:56.560 --> 0:26:59.440
<v Speaker 5>just believe in trying to keep calm and don't worry

0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:02.399
<v Speaker 5>about it, and know they said we're gonna make our

0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:04.439
<v Speaker 5>own discretion. Oh yeah, he's back at the office now,

0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:08.280
<v Speaker 5>bank at the office. My best friend also back at

0:27:08.320 --> 0:27:11.000
<v Speaker 5>the office, was working from home.

0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:12.360
<v Speaker 3>Back in office.

0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:15.760
<v Speaker 4>Interesting looking at people all day.

0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:19.159
<v Speaker 5>And I know some people that I kind of miss

0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:20.680
<v Speaker 5>being in office. I do like going to the office

0:27:20.680 --> 0:27:22.520
<v Speaker 5>when I get a chance. But this is not even

0:27:22.520 --> 0:27:24.440
<v Speaker 5>about an option at this point. This is just what

0:27:24.560 --> 0:27:25.080
<v Speaker 5>you're gonna do.

0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:29.320
<v Speaker 2>People who have been at home have not had to

0:27:29.480 --> 0:27:33.520
<v Speaker 2>drive or spend gas or all that extra time, you know,

0:27:33.800 --> 0:27:36.239
<v Speaker 2>commuting from you know this place of that place. I mean,

0:27:36.400 --> 0:27:38.959
<v Speaker 2>especially with these gas prices, that's a whole other expense

0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:41.800
<v Speaker 2>that you have to factor into your household, especially if

0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:43.879
<v Speaker 2>you have multiple people in your household that now have

0:27:44.000 --> 0:27:47.600
<v Speaker 2>to commute and go into the office just because they said.

0:27:47.400 --> 0:27:51.080
<v Speaker 5>So yep, well, hey, y'all say that was taking a

0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:54.680
<v Speaker 5>mental health break and tapped out and you know, said,

0:27:55.400 --> 0:27:57.159
<v Speaker 5>y'all done with it. So this would have looked like

0:27:58.160 --> 0:27:59.800
<v Speaker 5>and I know some people that's been struggling with it

0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:01.720
<v Speaker 5>and it was really hard for him to go into

0:28:01.760 --> 0:28:04.040
<v Speaker 5>the office. They got a job at home because they

0:28:04.119 --> 0:28:05.400
<v Speaker 5>were able to function better.

0:28:05.920 --> 0:28:07.600
<v Speaker 3>They don't care. But none of that they're telling y'all

0:28:07.600 --> 0:28:09.320
<v Speaker 3>get over that mental health and get over that anxiety.

0:28:09.400 --> 0:28:12.720
<v Speaker 5>Bring your ass back in the office, right, Some people

0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:14.280
<v Speaker 5>do function better in the office, So I ain't gonna

0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:15.800
<v Speaker 5>lie about that. It will be a lot of slacking

0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:18.560
<v Speaker 5>at the house. Everybody can't have that level of discipline.

0:28:18.560 --> 0:28:21.480
<v Speaker 5>I mean, we're just gonna be honest about it. I missed,

0:28:21.600 --> 0:28:24.200
<v Speaker 5>but I've been self employed back and forth at home,

0:28:24.240 --> 0:28:26.800
<v Speaker 5>you know, for seventeen years, so I do like going

0:28:26.840 --> 0:28:29.200
<v Speaker 5>to the office. You know, today I alsopos to go

0:28:29.240 --> 0:28:32.560
<v Speaker 5>to the office, But to your point, I don't have to,

0:28:32.960 --> 0:28:34.560
<v Speaker 5>and I wasn't gonna spend the month. So when I'm

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:36.879
<v Speaker 5>in Atlanta, I'm ubering most times.

0:28:37.480 --> 0:28:39.560
<v Speaker 3>So I'm not rich.

0:28:40.720 --> 0:28:42.600
<v Speaker 5>I know the rest of them like to pretend they're rich,

0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:45.840
<v Speaker 5>but I'm not. So I'm like, girl, I've been at home,

0:28:46.200 --> 0:28:47.760
<v Speaker 5>but like I have went. I had to go to

0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:49.840
<v Speaker 5>an event last night. Shout out to angela guie event

0:28:49.920 --> 0:28:51.920
<v Speaker 5>with her. But I go, like, if I have to go,

0:28:52.440 --> 0:28:54.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, I'm not gonna spend money just to go,

0:28:55.040 --> 0:28:57.800
<v Speaker 5>to your point, like for what, you know, just to

0:28:57.880 --> 0:28:59.160
<v Speaker 5>go just to go. I'll be in the office all

0:28:59.200 --> 0:29:01.560
<v Speaker 5>day tomorrow because I got you know, to film. But

0:29:01.640 --> 0:29:04.960
<v Speaker 5>other than that beautiful office too, and I actually enjoy

0:29:05.360 --> 0:29:07.120
<v Speaker 5>sometimes just getting out of the four walls.

0:29:08.160 --> 0:29:11.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, we have to see what's going on with

0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:12.920
<v Speaker 4>this government shut down.

0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:16.120
<v Speaker 2>We know that a spending built like a spending package

0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:19.480
<v Speaker 2>was approved in the House, and so we have to

0:29:19.600 --> 0:29:21.920
<v Speaker 2>see what happens next.

0:29:22.800 --> 0:29:30.400
<v Speaker 4>At this point, if you ask me, things are running like.

0:29:32.560 --> 0:29:34.720
<v Speaker 2>I want to say organized, prim with a mafia, I

0:29:34.760 --> 0:29:36.040
<v Speaker 2>would just say super organized.

0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:36.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:29:37.120 --> 0:29:37.640
<v Speaker 4>Organized.

0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:40.320
<v Speaker 2>And it's very efficient by the way, right, because when

0:29:40.320 --> 0:29:43.800
<v Speaker 2>you have all three branches of government on the same page,

0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:46.480
<v Speaker 2>and they're on the same agenda, and they're answering to

0:29:46.680 --> 0:29:48.680
<v Speaker 2>and they have loyalty to the same person, for the

0:29:48.720 --> 0:29:50.200
<v Speaker 2>most part, things get done.

0:29:50.280 --> 0:29:52.320
<v Speaker 4>Hella hella, hella fast hello.

0:29:54.600 --> 0:29:56.920
<v Speaker 5>Well that and plus they don't give it down, so

0:29:57.320 --> 0:29:58.960
<v Speaker 5>you know, going through the right for you know, the

0:29:59.360 --> 0:30:02.040
<v Speaker 5>we gotta go through Congress, they gotta get approved.

0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:03.160
<v Speaker 3>They got this, it got that.

0:30:03.480 --> 0:30:07.560
<v Speaker 5>Trump is shown you how fast things can happen. But

0:30:07.680 --> 0:30:12.080
<v Speaker 5>it's bruling by his authoritative authority, not authority authority and

0:30:12.240 --> 0:30:16.280
<v Speaker 5>government you know, executive orders just doing you know, that's

0:30:16.320 --> 0:30:18.160
<v Speaker 5>not the way people have wanted to rule, but that's

0:30:18.200 --> 0:30:20.960
<v Speaker 5>the way it got to be moving forward, moving forward

0:30:21.000 --> 0:30:23.280
<v Speaker 5>to Democrats get back in, y'all got executive order, all

0:30:23.360 --> 0:30:26.239
<v Speaker 5>the same shit, and and let tell Congress to catch up.

0:30:26.440 --> 0:30:30.240
<v Speaker 3>You gotta. That's how it's gonna be moving forward definitely,

0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:42.880
<v Speaker 3>so we'll see baby. Well, I don't mean to be

0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:44.280
<v Speaker 3>doom and gloom, you know.

0:30:44.360 --> 0:30:46.600
<v Speaker 5>But I did want people to know, like this is

0:30:46.720 --> 0:30:51.000
<v Speaker 5>for real, guys, and I want you to prepare. Bunker

0:30:51.120 --> 0:30:55.280
<v Speaker 5>down and prepare. I do believe there's a bright side,

0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:57.720
<v Speaker 5>but right now, I just got to look at what's

0:30:57.800 --> 0:30:59.280
<v Speaker 5>in front of us. So if you know people in

0:30:59.320 --> 0:31:02.880
<v Speaker 5>the government jobs, jobs, if you got friends, it's saying

0:31:02.920 --> 0:31:06.080
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna be fine, it's gonna be all right. Start

0:31:06.120 --> 0:31:08.760
<v Speaker 5>telling them guys to prepare. A lot of these government

0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:12.160
<v Speaker 5>people ja they can't just trans transfer those skills into

0:31:12.200 --> 0:31:16.280
<v Speaker 5>other work environments. That's people don't understand because telling my sister,

0:31:16.520 --> 0:31:19.720
<v Speaker 5>like you almost retirement with a teacher, but being a teacher,

0:31:19.760 --> 0:31:21.719
<v Speaker 5>it's not like home Depot gonna hire you to run

0:31:21.760 --> 0:31:25.360
<v Speaker 5>the HR department. You're literally a teacher, that's all you've done.

0:31:27.080 --> 0:31:28.600
<v Speaker 5>They don't hire you in corporate And you know what

0:31:28.640 --> 0:31:30.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm saying, like you don't so a lot of those

0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:35.200
<v Speaker 5>government jobs a specialist somebody been a specialist for whatever whatever,

0:31:35.320 --> 0:31:38.480
<v Speaker 5>you know, special projects, gs or living, you know whatever.

0:31:38.880 --> 0:31:40.800
<v Speaker 3>Where do they go in the private sector.

0:31:40.840 --> 0:31:43.200
<v Speaker 5>I do know there's some jobs, but it's not like

0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:45.760
<v Speaker 5>you know, those jobs are very specialized jobs.

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:50.959
<v Speaker 2>And then there's jobs, and some of these skills may

0:31:51.000 --> 0:31:54.920
<v Speaker 2>be transferable to some nonprofit organizations, but even those are

0:31:55.040 --> 0:31:55.760
<v Speaker 2>these our profits.

0:31:55.760 --> 0:31:59.040
<v Speaker 5>They ain't even about to be funded exactly. So you

0:31:59.120 --> 0:32:01.360
<v Speaker 5>can't definitely be going to nonprofit. That's the last place

0:32:01.480 --> 0:32:03.360
<v Speaker 5>hiring you. So you got to go back into the

0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:06.320
<v Speaker 5>public sector and to the corporate sector. And I can't

0:32:06.360 --> 0:32:06.960
<v Speaker 5>tell you right now.

0:32:07.560 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 3>I've been in.

0:32:08.000 --> 0:32:10.840
<v Speaker 5>Corporate America a long time. The only jobs that are

0:32:10.880 --> 0:32:13.880
<v Speaker 5>halfway secure off anything is the jobs that know how

0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:16.400
<v Speaker 5>to bring money to the table, literally bring money to

0:32:16.520 --> 0:32:16.920
<v Speaker 5>the table.

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:20.520
<v Speaker 4>You mean, like banking, real estate or whatever, not.

0:32:20.560 --> 0:32:21.840
<v Speaker 3>Even because that's way no customer.

0:32:21.840 --> 0:32:25.040
<v Speaker 5>I'm just saying hustle like whatever it is that you're in,

0:32:26.000 --> 0:32:29.880
<v Speaker 5>like a conversation you and I were having offline, Like

0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:32.760
<v Speaker 5>when I when I'm partnered up with somebody, I'm not

0:32:33.000 --> 0:32:37.440
<v Speaker 5>just partnered up in a you know, a one directional way.

0:32:37.480 --> 0:32:39.760
<v Speaker 5>I'm looking at sales. I'm looking at marketing, I'm looking

0:32:39.760 --> 0:32:41.720
<v Speaker 5>at pr I'm looking at you know, what do you

0:32:41.880 --> 0:32:44.720
<v Speaker 5>bring to the table. You know, in addition you know

0:32:44.880 --> 0:32:49.080
<v Speaker 5>that that where's your value at? Are you growing the

0:32:49.160 --> 0:32:52.800
<v Speaker 5>company's bottom line in one way or the other. So,

0:32:52.880 --> 0:32:55.800
<v Speaker 5>whether it's banking, marketing, really whatever, you know, do you

0:32:55.960 --> 0:32:59.000
<v Speaker 5>need workers? Everybody doesn't do that. But if I gotta,

0:32:59.160 --> 0:33:03.320
<v Speaker 5>if I gotta keeping employee, and I got one that

0:33:03.440 --> 0:33:05.440
<v Speaker 5>does a great job, and one to do a great

0:33:05.520 --> 0:33:09.760
<v Speaker 5>job but also adds other value, other things, you know,

0:33:09.960 --> 0:33:13.520
<v Speaker 5>other things that can either help me make money or

0:33:13.600 --> 0:33:16.440
<v Speaker 5>they bring me money if I can secure more just

0:33:16.480 --> 0:33:17.720
<v Speaker 5>some a small but you know, we talk about this

0:33:17.760 --> 0:33:19.680
<v Speaker 5>all the time, just on a small business. If you

0:33:19.840 --> 0:33:21.719
<v Speaker 5>on my team allows me to bring in three, four,

0:33:21.840 --> 0:33:27.680
<v Speaker 5>five contracts, you are now a more a more attractive

0:33:27.760 --> 0:33:30.680
<v Speaker 5>candidate than somebody that just can do what they do,

0:33:30.760 --> 0:33:34.000
<v Speaker 5>you know what I'm saying. So you have to there's

0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:35.400
<v Speaker 5>a way I gotta be able to look at you,

0:33:35.520 --> 0:33:38.320
<v Speaker 5>Jade and say does this person increase my bottom line?

0:33:38.800 --> 0:33:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Mm hm?

0:33:41.040 --> 0:33:44.040
<v Speaker 5>Because you're standing around, sitting around and you and you're

0:33:44.080 --> 0:33:46.960
<v Speaker 5>not doing enough that I can either either you bringing

0:33:47.080 --> 0:33:49.440
<v Speaker 5>money in or I can go get money because of you.

0:33:50.800 --> 0:33:53.200
<v Speaker 5>Those are the people that that's gonna survive. And even

0:33:53.240 --> 0:33:57.200
<v Speaker 5>then we're still gonna be underpaid and overworked, definitely. So

0:33:57.280 --> 0:33:58.880
<v Speaker 5>when people say what they ain't gonna do and I

0:33:58.920 --> 0:34:00.600
<v Speaker 5>ain't gonna be able to do it all that, well,

0:34:00.640 --> 0:34:03.720
<v Speaker 5>guess what it's gonna be ten people behind you that

0:34:03.840 --> 0:34:06.800
<v Speaker 5>will because the market is gonna be flooded with unemployed people.

0:34:10.719 --> 0:34:10.959
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:34:11.239 --> 0:34:13.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, a lot of folks in media are now unemployed.

0:34:13.960 --> 0:34:14.440

0:36:10.080 --> 0:36:16.200
<v Speaker 5>to some mystery, you know, pocket whatever. It's literally I

0:36:16.320 --> 0:36:19.080
<v Speaker 5>don't know anything else to do, J, but to try

0:36:19.160 --> 0:36:22.680
<v Speaker 5>to micro organize, meaning get one hundred people in the

0:36:22.800 --> 0:36:25.040
<v Speaker 5>room and let's try to take care. We know we're

0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:26.399
<v Speaker 5>taking care of five people in the room.

0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:26.879
<v Speaker 3>Nothing else.

0:36:26.960 --> 0:36:29.920
<v Speaker 5>The DJ, the two comedian, you know, buying some chicken nuggets,

0:36:29.960 --> 0:36:32.680

0:36:33.040 --> 0:36:35.279
<v Speaker 5>we know where that's going. And then who in that room?

0:36:35.360 --> 0:36:37.719
<v Speaker 5>Can you turn to the left and right that you

0:36:37.880 --> 0:36:41.080
<v Speaker 5>need to build a tribe. Everybody don't have a tribe.

0:36:41.160 --> 0:36:43.800
<v Speaker 5>Everybody don't have parents. Everybody don't have a family. Some

0:36:43.960 --> 0:36:46.120
<v Speaker 5>people in their family, like me, I'm the one they

0:36:46.200 --> 0:36:48.600
<v Speaker 5>call on. Who is the other Teslims that I can

0:36:48.680 --> 0:36:52.560
<v Speaker 5>connect with? How can we make this work on a

0:36:52.719 --> 0:36:55.560
<v Speaker 5>local level. I cannot get forty six million people on

0:36:55.640 --> 0:36:56.320
<v Speaker 5>the same page, J.

0:36:56.560 --> 0:36:57.080
<v Speaker 3>I cannot.

0:36:57.440 --> 0:36:59.880
<v Speaker 5>What I can do is try to get smaller, mic

0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:03.000
<v Speaker 5>pro organizing and try to really push that people need

0:37:03.080 --> 0:37:05.960
<v Speaker 5>to be doing that in their own community, Like you

0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:09.480
<v Speaker 5>really got to get down to the small fifty people

0:37:09.600 --> 0:37:12.400
<v Speaker 5>twenty five people in the rooms. That is that are

0:37:12.440 --> 0:37:15.680
<v Speaker 5>going to commit to looking out for each other. And

0:37:15.880 --> 0:37:17.640
<v Speaker 5>what I mean by that is, who know how to

0:37:17.680 --> 0:37:18.200
<v Speaker 5>fix a car?

0:37:18.680 --> 0:37:19.839

<v Speaker 5>you come leave to sleep on my couch? Can we

0:37:25.560 --> 0:37:26.880

0:37:27.120 --> 0:37:34.960
<v Speaker 5>very intentional, these twenty five people. Yep, we have to

0:37:35.000 --> 0:37:40.799
<v Speaker 5>be very very mindful of how we're moving. I met

0:37:40.840 --> 0:37:44.720
<v Speaker 5>a charter school yesterday. The first person I thought of Christie,

0:37:44.760 --> 0:37:47.160
<v Speaker 5>our girl Christy with the black history program, Like, okay,

0:37:47.400 --> 0:37:49.360

0:37:49.400 --> 0:37:52.279

0:37:58.600 --> 0:38:01.560
<v Speaker 5>at the charter school? But how they gonna get their fun?

0:38:01.640 --> 0:38:03.319
<v Speaker 5>You know what I'm saying, Like all of that has

0:38:03.400 --> 0:38:06.120
<v Speaker 5>to girl. I'm telling you, Jay, we have to look

0:38:06.200 --> 0:38:09.320
<v Speaker 5>at a very I think trying to bite you know,

0:38:09.480 --> 0:38:11.480
<v Speaker 5>Elephant Overnight is too much of people. It's been coming

0:38:11.520 --> 0:38:13.920
<v Speaker 5>to overwhelm me. So I'm just trying because it feels

0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:16.520
<v Speaker 5>unwhelming to me. So I'm just trying to get people

0:38:16.600 --> 0:38:19.840
<v Speaker 5>in a mindset of can you get twenty five people?

0:38:21.920 --> 0:38:24.560
<v Speaker 5>If you don't trust your church. I understand that because

0:38:24.600 --> 0:38:27.080
<v Speaker 5>religion has let us down. But if you have one

0:38:27.160 --> 0:38:30.160
<v Speaker 5>that you can connect to, fine, if it's a sorority,

0:38:30.200 --> 0:38:33.400
<v Speaker 5>a fraternity, whatever, find if you're creating your own sorority.

0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:37.200
<v Speaker 5>You don't just link in with somebody off the internet

0:38:37.480 --> 0:38:42.600
<v Speaker 5>and get someone on one FaceTime interaction of saying we

0:38:42.920 --> 0:38:44.319
<v Speaker 5>are going to figure it out.

0:38:45.880 --> 0:38:48.560
<v Speaker 3>Yes, that's why I came to Atlanta. I have to

0:38:48.640 --> 0:38:49.520
<v Speaker 3>get community.

0:38:50.200 --> 0:38:52.279
<v Speaker 5>I have to Last night is different than being on

0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:54.640
<v Speaker 5>the internet than face to face you know, interaction and

0:38:54.719 --> 0:38:58.200
<v Speaker 5>saying how can we figure this out? How can if

0:38:58.239 --> 0:39:01.439
<v Speaker 5>we're all motivated to win, how can we figure it out?

0:39:03.600 --> 0:39:08.759
<v Speaker 5>So that's what I'm encouraging people to do. Because if NAJA, depression, anxiety, suicide,

0:39:09.239 --> 0:39:11.520
<v Speaker 5>all of that is, watch those numbers.

0:39:12.400 --> 0:39:14.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I bet now that they've even changed.

0:39:15.600 --> 0:39:23.320

0:39:23.360 --> 0:39:26.839
