There are 43 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: different hats that I wear. I am the same person, 44 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: but there are different hats with different goals that I do. 45 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: And that's gonna have a lot to do with this 46 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 2: conversation here with Dr Wes and dodor Umar's response to 47 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 2: doctor West. But when I am doing the Front page News, 48 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 2: it is more of a moderator type role, which means 49 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: that I'm giving the news, I'm curating the news. Summarizing 50 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: it in a way that is easy for you to understand. 51 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 2: I have a time limit mainly the six o'clock is 52 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 2: maybe four or five minutes at best. The seven the 53 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 2: seven o'clock I have a little bit more time. If 54 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 2: you can bind both of those hits together. In the media, 55 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: we call it a hit. It's a total of probably 56 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 2: ten or eleven minutes. And that is with discussion. Were 57 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: four or five people in the room. So for those 58 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: of you, especially on Twitter, because I know how y'all 59 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 2: like to get down.

So 71 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: with that said, when I'm giving the news, and yes 72 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: I insert my opinion, but I do toss it to 73 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: the guys to give their opinion, to give their feedback, 74 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 2: and I'm there just mainly to inform and when there 75 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 2: is something that I need to go deeper give my opinion, 76 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,119 Speaker 2: I certainly do not. I'm not I don't run from that. 77 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: But I also like to use my podcast as an 78 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 2: opportunity to talk in deep, to go a little bit 79 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 2: deeper in long, so you don't ever have to worry 80 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: about how I feel about a situation. My podcast has 81 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: over two hundred plus episodes on how I feel about something, 82 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,119 Speaker 2: my position on something, and I talk NonStop. So nobody 83 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 2: is over here duck in no wreck. So let's make 84 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 2: sure we get that on that the way. And also 85 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 2: let me say this particularly to my Twitter family, because 86 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 2: I know y'all don't like they call it being docs 87 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 2: on Twitter, docs docs docs. You know I don't like 88 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 2: being docs. I don't like my name out there. Well 89 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 2: let me just break it on down to you. I'm docs. 90 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 2: I'm all the way dots. Somebody give me a one 91 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 2: hundred if you know what I'm talking about. That means 92 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: I go by my first and my last name. I 93 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 2: don't run from nobody. So no disrespect to those of 94 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: you that hide under other names, because y'all say, you 95 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: know the people gonna come get you, and they you're 96 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: such a threat to society that you know everybody's looking 97 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 2: for your information. Well, I just want to be clear 98 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 2: that a lot of times, and this means no disrespect 99 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 2: to anybody. But when we start, when I am doing 100 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 2: these types of conversations, this is truly a class. I 101 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 2: don't mind looking at people's comments. It's a little bit 102 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: easier to do it on Instagram, but Twitter, you can 103 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 2: certainly put your comments down at the bottom, and I 104 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 2: do address your comments as I am talking during my commentary. 105 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 2: But I do want you to understand, and this is 106 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: no shade, but I do when people debate me and 107 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 2: people like to challenge me, I like you to be 108 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 2: docs too. I like docs for docs on crime. I 109 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 2: like dots on docs crime, meaning I like to know 110 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 2: who you are, what you do, what you bring to 111 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 2: the table. Because although in this social media space, y'all 112 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 2: like to talk a lot. 113 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: About where everybody got an opinion, well not with me. 114 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: You don't. 115 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 2: The opinion has to be an informed opinion. Heyman, The 116 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 2: Supreme Court actually writes out something called an opinion, and 117 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 2: that opinion has to be an informed opinion. So although 118 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 2: you may have one, although I may appreciate it, I 119 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 2: kind of like to know what it is that you're 120 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 2: talking about and are you doing it based upon experience, 121 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 2: because there's plenty of people in this space on Twitter 122 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 2: as y'all like to say cooking. They like to call 123 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 2: it cooking. It's plenty of folks cooking. But then go 124 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 2: get no chef, no chef certification. I don't know if 125 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 2: your kitchen is clean. I don't know what kind of 126 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 2: supplies you use it. I know it sound good, but 127 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, I need to know 128 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 2: what is it that you do. What is it that 129 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 2: you've done. How do we know the receipts on all 130 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 2: of the good theory that you talked about, how do 131 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 2: we know that that actually works? So when it comes 132 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: to politics, as we're getting ready to have this political discussion, 133 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: I'm setting this up now. When it comes to politics, 134 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: I'm going to speak from being a director of communications 135 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 2: on winning campaigns, being a campaign manager on winning campaigns, 136 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 2: flipping whole states for Bernie Sanders, the only black person 137 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: that was in Michigan when we did a historic victory 138 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: and stole it from Hillary Clinton. This is where this 139 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 2: knowledge is coming from. It's really important that we know that, guys, 140 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: because a lot of y'all got a whole lot to say, 141 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 2: and I have no problem with it. But understand, when 142 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 2: I'm talking, I am talking from a space of actually 143 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 2: working on winning. Somebody say winning winning campaigns. Yes, there 144 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 2: are campaigns that don't win. Yes, there are some that 145 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 2: just run to run, and I'm going to talk about that. 146 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 2: But there's something to be said about actually knowing how 147 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,119 Speaker 2: to win a campaign. I said, let me say it again, 148 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 2: there's something to be said about actually winning a campaign. Meaning, 149 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: have you ever been a field director. Have you ever 150 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: had to write a press release? Have you ever had 151 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: to take a candidate from the grassroots move them all 152 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 2: the way up to beat the establishment? Do you even 153 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 2: know what a win number is? Do you know what 154 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 2: strategy is? Or is it that you've read so many 155 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: books that you understand the theory? Is it that you're 156 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 2: so provocative that you do YouTube videos all day long, 157 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 2: but you ain't never worked on nobody campaign. 158 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: See that matters. 159 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 2: That matters when we start talking about politics. Now, when 160 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 2: we start talking about activism, that is where you guys 161 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 2: come into play. Activism is talking about all of the things, 162 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 2: all of the. 163 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: Demands that you want. 164 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 2: But when we start talking about politics and campaigning and campaigns, 165 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 2: that is a very different conversation. So I'm getting ready 166 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: to have that conversation with you. Now, I will weave 167 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: back and forth from activism, candidates and actual campaigns were 168 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 2: all on the same page. Now, I posted a video 169 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 2: of doctor Umar Johnson and I cut it, but doctor 170 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 2: Umar Johnson addressed uh, doctor West and him running for president. 171 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: At the beginning I cut it. You can go back 172 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: and watch it. 173 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 2: At the beginning of the video, he talked about that 174 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 2: he had a lot of respect for doctor Wes, that 175 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 2: he certainly respects him as a scholar. He also said 176 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 2: that he appreciates all that he's done, but he had 177 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 2: a couple of concerns. Now, one concern he had that 178 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: I did not upload one for the sake of time 179 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 2: and also because I know that that concern is based 180 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,839 Speaker 2: upon my experience with doctor Wes. Again, just talking about 181 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 2: my experience or tell them what do you mean you're experience? Well, again, 182 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 2: I worked on the Bernie Sanders campaign in twenty fifteen. 183 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: The end of twenty fifteen, I was this National Racial 184 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 2: Justice Director Cornelli Cornell West was an actual was an 185 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 2: actual surrogate for Bernie Sanders. Had an opportunity to drive 186 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 2: him to Chicago. We say, I think it was from 187 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 2: Iowa to Chicago, and we were in the car for 188 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: five or six hours, and I had an opportunity to 189 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 2: really get to know him through both of his campaigns. 190 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 2: Y'all show some love to attorney on Twitter, to attorney 191 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 2: to Mario Solomon Simmons. That is the attorney in real 192 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: time that is working on reparations for the three remaining 193 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 2: survivors of Tulsa Green, Black Wall Street. 194 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: Follow him if you want to know more about that case. 195 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 2: So, based upon my experience with doctor West, I'm going 196 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 2: to have an experience based on what I saw. And 197 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 2: so when doctor Umar's first and he has every right 198 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: to be concerned, but his first concern was wondering if Uma, 199 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 2: wondering if doctor West is being used by the Democrat Party. 200 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 2: And I know, especially y'all on Twitter, because you know 201 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 2: y'all love, but my Twitter family, y'all love conspiracy theories 202 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 2: like nobody's business. Everybody's an opt everybody's an agent. I 203 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 2: ain't never seen so many. And let me just do 204 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 2: a side note on this. It's so hilarious that y'all 205 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 2: actually think that the FEZ is spending multimillions of dollars 206 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 2: to listen to people's Twitter space. And I don't mean 207 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 2: to do no shamee, but I got to take a 208 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 2: pause with that because I do want some of y'all 209 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: to kind of get into reality just a little bit, 210 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 2: just a little bit. Maybe de Mario Simmons can put 211 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 2: a one hundred up because the amount of money that 212 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 2: you have to spend on getting a wire and actually 213 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 2: going through the process to get a judge to give 214 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 2: a wire, there actually has. 215 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: To be a threat. 216 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: I just want to just pause there just for a moment, 217 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 2: and we'll get back to this for a second. But 218 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 2: I rarely go live on Twitter, so I just do 219 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 2: want you all to know that because there's a lot 220 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 2: of every time I listen to one of y'all on Twitter, 221 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 2: somebody talking about who's an opting, who's an agent, who's 222 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 2: an option, who's an agent? So I just want to 223 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 2: give you some reality right quick. It costs millions of dollars. 224 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 2: They can't even get wires on people that are doing 225 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 2: real shit, real crimes, just so y'all know. So I 226 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 2: just want you to just think about what would be 227 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 2: the benefit of the FEDS listening to your Twitter space? 228 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 2: I mean, seriously, what would be what would be the 229 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 2: advantage of the FEDS investing millions of dollars, hundreds of 230 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 2: thousands of millions of dollars to listen to a Twitter 231 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 2: space with a handle that goes by a hot dog 232 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 2: eight five seven nine.

Not enough for somebody to 279 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 2: spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to infiltrate you on Twitter, 280 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 2: because what are they infiltrating. Yes, the government is afraid 281 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 2: of influence as well, but influence that is not having 282 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 2: movement is just talk. I'm responding to the person on 283 00:14:54,840 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 2: Twitter on my Instagram. Let me say this again, what influence? Good? 284 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: Look up, let's look at the definition influence. 285 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 2: I'm getting off track here, but I gotta I gotta 286 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 2: do this because it all comes into play. Somebody else 287 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 2: told me this too. I had a conversation with nineteen 288 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 2: Keys about this as well. Let's look up the definition 289 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 2: of influence because many of you are getting confused. 290 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: On what influence means. 291 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 2: So influence is it says the capacity to have an 292 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 2: effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something. 293 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: And I need you to know that just talking is 294 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: not a behavior. It's just talking. 295 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 2: Can we look up behavior for those of us that 296 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 2: like words, put a one hundred if you like words, 297 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 2: I know a lot of you don't. And this ain't 298 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 2: no shade, but we got to deal with this. Behavior 299 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 2: means the way in which one acts are conduct conducts themselves, 300 00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 2: especially towards towards others. Now, I am a big believer 301 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 2: that social media is helpful. I said it the other 302 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 2: day when everybody was pushing for aj Owens. Yes it's helpful, 303 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 2: but I need you to understand there was just one 304 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 2: component of it. It also was many of us that 305 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: were calling up to the Sheriff's department demanding and arrests. 306 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 2: It also was the attorneys. They were also saying that 307 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 2: if something's not being done, we're gonna push for a 308 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 2: hate crime and actually somebody got to have a law 309 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 2: license to actually go down and foul something. 310 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: Amen. 311 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 2: So it is not that social media is not important. 312 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 2: It is not that talking on Twitter, in which i'll 313 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 2: call cooking, is not important. But I need you to 314 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 2: know that influence is more than just talking on social media. See, 315 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 2: the key word to influence is action, the capacity to 316 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 2: make somebody move. When I go to Orlando and I 317 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 2: say I'm showing up in Orlando, you know why. The 318 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 2: mayor shows up, the two or three commissioners show up 319 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 2: that I put in office. You know why because Orlando 320 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 2: know I can make five hundred people move at the 321 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 2: drop of a hat overnight. 322 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: They see me do it multiple times. 323 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 2: So when I show up and say, hey, I'm coming 324 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 2: to town, I got a problem with. 325 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: Something, they show up. 326 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 2: They did it right in front of Senator Attorney said, 327 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 2: when I knew you was coming, I knew I had 328 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 2: to go. Let me give you another example Twitter, family. 329 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: This ain't bragging. I just want you all to know 330 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,479 Speaker 1: what influence looked like. 331 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 2: Do y'all remember when I was talking about when we 332 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 2: all vote that campaign on when we all vote, did 333 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 2: backs that ass up? And they also did what was it, guys, 334 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 2: I challenged them about the black dating service. You guys 335 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 2: remember that, you guys saw that in real time on Twitter. 336 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 2: Remember I said that I didn't like how they did it, 337 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 2: and I thought it was tacky. And do you remember 338 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 2: Twitter family, when when we all vote came to my 339 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 2: Twitter space. They didn't do it because I had one 340 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 2: hundred thousand followers or two hundred thousand followers. I think 341 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 2: at that time I had thirty thousand at best, and 342 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 2: I wasn't on Breakfast Club on a daily basis. You 343 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 2: know why they came up there to listen to what 344 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 2: I had to say because they're afraid of people that 345 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 2: can organize. You know, the difference, big difference and organizing. 346 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 2: It's not just organizing folks in a Twitter space. That 347 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 2: is just one part of it. That's why when y'all 348 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 2: see people tweeting people all day long, these organizations and 349 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 2: tweeting people all day long, and the people never respond 350 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 2: and they tell y'all the people that maybe a little 351 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 2: bit naive to how this work, Oh, they don't respond 352 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 2: to me because they know they don't want to smoke. No, 353 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 2: they don't respond to you because they know you can't 354 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 2: get hundreds of people to move, No shade, I'm just 355 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 2: telling you what it is. When I called Ben and 356 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 2: Jerry's out, you know who reached out to me immediately, 357 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 2: Ben and Jerry's Because there's something about getting four or 358 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 2: five hundred people to move, to take action. 359 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: It's something about that. 360 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 2: Maybe they paid attention because the three hundred people came 361 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 2: to Atlanta from all over the country to attend my training. See, 362 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 2: that's what influences sweethearts, sugar plums, pumpkins, and honey bunches. 363 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 2: Talking about I get three hundred people to listen to 364 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 2: me on Twitter, space is only one part of it. 365 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 2: It requires it all. And for those of you that say, 366 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 2: oh yeah, but such and such got let me be clear. 367 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 2: I appreciate those of you that are provocateurs. That means 368 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 2: people that have big platforms and they screen issues out loud, 369 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,239 Speaker 2: big bullhorns. That's a part of influence, but it is 370 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 2: not the only part of influence. Because gathering up a 371 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 2: bunch of people to attend an event are gathering up 372 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 2: a bunch of people to be around each other, and 373 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 2: you're not taking those same people and actually putting them 374 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 2: in leadership capacity. That's a different level of influence. It's 375 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 2: a different level. It's levels to influence, guys. You gotta 376 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 2: know the difference. It's black businesses everywhere, guys, it's but 377 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 2: you don't how many. It's thousands of millions of black businesses. 378 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 2: Why do y'all think somebody having a black business is 379 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 2: so afraid? So afraid black people are, Oh man, they 380 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 2: just afraid because Tesla got a business. I had a 381 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: staffing firm with three hundred employees. I signed in front 382 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 2: of the check every week. That wasn't what made white 383 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 2: people pay attention to me in Orlando. I did get 384 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 2: women who mean business in twenty twelve and forty who 385 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 2: under forty, But that's not what made people in Orlando 386 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 2: take notice of me. What made people in Orlando take 387 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 2: notice of me is before I ever paid those people. 388 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 2: I had three hundred volunteers that followed me everywhere I 389 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 2: went on the five boards that I set on. Why 390 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 2: they moved when I say move in Orlando, is because 391 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 2: they saw me take a candidate that had zero experience, 392 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 2: that was arrested twenty one times, and we beat a 393 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 2: sixteen year in company. I'm looking at some of your 394 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 2: Instagram comments that you left earlier about doctor Umar Johnson. 395 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 2: I'm going to go back to that. The first thing 396 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 2: he said was he wanted to make sure that the 397 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 2: Democrats of not using doctor West to get out the 398 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 2: black vote. The reason why I did not share that 399 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 2: is because I do not believe that at all. This 400 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 2: is who doctor West has been his entire life. This 401 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 2: is what he truly believes. And ain't nobody y'all y'all 402 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 2: really be looking for conspiracy theories so bad? And he 403 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 2: said he might be wrong, but nobody's using him to 404 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 2: get out the black vote. 405 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: That's number one. 406 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 2: I just don't believe that this man has been who's 407 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 2: been his entire life. And I assure you that at 408 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 2: the end of his campaign, he's not gonna say, hey, guys, 409 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 2: you know what, you might as well just go vote Democrat. 410 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 2: He means what he says when he says we need 411 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 2: to get rid of a two party system. Now, if 412 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 2: he switches at the end, I'll be the first one 413 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 2: to call him out, and you can put my word 414 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 2: on that. I'll be the first one to tell me 415 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 2: folded like a napkin. If you don't believe me, then 416 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 2: all you gotta do is go look up my receipts 417 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 2: with Bernie Sanders. I know y'all say, y'all hate my receipts, 418 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 2: but we gotta have receipts. I work for Bernie Sanders, 419 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 2: and I called his ass out to so I don't 420 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 2: have problem calling out nobody. 421 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: So that's number one. 422 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 2: The second concern that he had, which is a real concern, 423 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 2: which is doctor West running on a multicultural meaning, like 424 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 2: he likes to say, campaign of love. Everybody in the 425 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 2: Rainbow campaign, let me give you some breaking news. He is, 426 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 2: guys to the person in the instagram that said, we 427 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 2: gotta stop giving the enemy our strategy. We gotta infiltrate. Hey, 428 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 2: guess what. I know, y'all want this to be house 429 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 2: of cars so bad. But sometimes y'all just need to 430 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 2: believe people for who they are. Doctor West has always 431 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 2: talked about multi cultural people of color message. He addresses 432 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 2: poor people first. It's not that he doesn't care about 433 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 2: black people. It's not that he's not talking about black people. 434 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 2: But stop thinking that everything is some big damn strategy. 435 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 2: Y'all fail for that same thing with Barack Obama. Remember 436 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 2: when it was a second term meaning, y'all was saying, 437 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 2: oh wait, till he get in the second term. 438 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: It's gonna be on. 439 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 2: He just got to get in there first, and then 440 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 2: he gotta infiltrate. And O Barack Obama was who he 441 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 2: was the first term and the second term. And guess 442 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 2: who the breaking news is.

Dr West will be running a least of 505 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 2: these poor people agenda type campaign. That's why he's with 506 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 2: the People's Party. Now, if you don't rock with that, 507 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 2: that's fine. Now to the people that said to doctor 508 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 2: Umar when he said, if you're gonna run a multiculture campaign, 509 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 2: we don't need you running, this is the part that 510 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 2: I really want to address because I'm looking at a 511 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 2: whole lot of people in the comments that don't understand 512 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 2: what it means when somebody's not running to win. A 513 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 2: lot of y'all field organizers, campaign field organizers. All of 514 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 2: a sudden, we got in the comments saying, well, what's 515 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 2: the point in running if you ain't gonna win. It's 516 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 2: called being a disruptive candidate. It's a real thing, guys. 517 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 2: Just because you're not familiar with it doesn't mean it 518 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 2: doesn't exist. Let me give you an example. Trump was 519 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 2: a disruptive candidate. He did not have a clue that 520 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 2: he would win. He won on accident. People do it 521 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 2: all the time. Surely you didn't think the seventeen Republicans 522 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 2: that ran on the Republican ballot were all running to win. 523 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 2: Surely you had to know they didn't have. Many of 524 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 2: them knew they didn't have a chance in hell, Surely 525 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,360 Speaker 2: you had to know that Andrew Yang knew he did 526 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 2: not have a chance in hell. Surely you had to 527 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 2: know that Senator Elizabeth Warren knew she didn't have a 528 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 2: chance in hell. When Bernie Sanders actually begin to think 529 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 2: he actually had a chance in hell, he was even shocked. 530 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 2: So people run all the time, and I call it 531 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 2: not running to win, But all you hear. 532 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 1: Is why they running it. 533 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 2: They ain't running a win. 534 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: They're running to push the least the most likely candidate 535 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: further to their side. 536 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 2: And see if y'all would get organized on Twitter the 537 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 2: way I keep telling y'all to and get out these 538 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 2: spaces and get a pack, you could do the same thing. 539 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: We're now. 540 00:28:55,040 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 2: A candidate would be forced to hear your agenda because 541 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 2: you guys do that well. 542 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: Activists do that well, screaming all. 543 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 2: Use reparations for an example, because that's what most of 544 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 2: you are on Twitter. Reparations, reparations, reparations. We don't want 545 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 2: to hear nothing but reparations, reparations. That's what an activist does. 546 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 2: They can you can be a single issue activist. What 547 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 2: you cannot be And I want to say this clearly, 548 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 2: if you want to win. You cannot be a single 549 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 2: issue candidate. You cannot be a candidate only talking about 550 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 2: one issue because you will be voting on multiple issues. 551 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 2: And that's not dissing reparations or healthcare or whatever it is. 552 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 2: But you have to be able to articulate multiple issues. 553 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: If you are a candidate. 554 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 2: That's why I say some of y'all candidates will be 555 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 2: better as activists. It's a difference. The name of that movie, guys, 556 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 2: I think it was called The Who. It was a 557 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 2: doctor Seus's movie, and it was about the Who's in 558 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 2: a little town and they were all, you know, they 559 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 2: all got together and they figured if they got loud enough, 560 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 2: they were small, but if they got loud enough, they 561 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,959 Speaker 2: would be heard. And so that's what activism is. You 562 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 2: have a pocket over here saying reparations. You have a 563 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 2: pocket over here saying criminal justice reform. You have a 564 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 2: pocket over here saying Medicare for all. You have a 565 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,959 Speaker 2: pocket over here. Everybody is screaming, LGBT, whatever it is. 566 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 2: Everybody screaming for their issue. And your job as an 567 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 2: active business to make sure your issue gets heard to 568 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 2: the actual candidate and sometimes a candidate. 569 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: Yep. 570 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 2: Horton here's a who It was a great movie. A 571 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 2: lot of metaphors in that, thank you to ring. And 572 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 2: you want the candidate to say. 573 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: Okay. Now here's where the part gets tricky. 574 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 2: You want the candidate to be to actually listen to 575 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 2: what you say. But here's the key tory. You have 576 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 2: to be an effective candidate in order to do that. 577 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 2: I know y'all don't want to hear that, but you 578 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 2: got to be an effective candidate in order to do that. 579 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 2: If not, you're better being an activist. What do you 580 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 2: mean by that, tesling, Well, Bernie Sanders was able to 581 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 2: have a conversation with Joe Biden and was able to 582 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 2: get put on his on his Labor committee because he 583 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 2: was able to organize millions of people. Bernie Sanders would 584 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 2: not be on the committee if he was not able 585 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 2: to organize millions of people. So let's break it down 586 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 2: in a very small race, a Congress race. I'll use 587 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 2: Marcel as an example. I'm sure he don't mind. I've 588 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 2: talked about this before on Twitter. I've said it to 589 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 2: him publicly and privately. I would rather see him spend 590 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 2: more time talking to his actual voters than talking to 591 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 2: you guys on Twitter, because any of you can put 592 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 2: a name and say I live in your district. We 593 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 2: don't know that a candidate has very limited time, and 594 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 2: one hundred percent of their time should be talking to 595 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 2: somebody that can vote for them, because that is the 596 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 2: only way you get any play with the candidate that 597 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 2: least that is most likely to win. I do not 598 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 2: diss him for only having a couple thousand votes. That's 599 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 2: a good thing. What my question would be to him is, 600 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 2: after you got those two thousand votes, did you take 601 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 2: those two thousand people? What are you doing with those 602 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 2: two thousand people right now? Did you start a pack 603 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 2: to continue to pressure Jim Clyburn. The answer is no, 604 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 2: because talking to y'all two thousand people on Twitter who 605 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 2: cannot vote for him is no threat to Jim Clyburn. 606 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 2: And yes, he did do a great job. He says 607 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 2: this all the time. Well, Tesla, I did a great 608 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 2: job and getting reparations now a discussion. Yes you did, sir, 609 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 2: but that could be done as a pack, as a 610 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 2: political action committee, because there's a difference between being an 611 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 2: activist and a candidate. And he said, tell her, and 612 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 2: I understand what you're saying, but I'm saying, and then 613 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 2: you know, sometime he says, you know, well, I don't know. 614 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: This is my first time running. 615 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this, and this is no shade, but 616 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 2: those of you saw I got my daughter a new 617 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 2: car last week. My daughter's been driving all of two weeks. 618 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: You know. 619 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 2: She read the all that she went and got her permit. 620 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 2: She read all the information. You know. My daughter actually 621 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 2: thinks she can tell me about driving. Even if y'all 622 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 2: got a sixteen year old, they'd like to tell y'all 623 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 2: they know how to drive. She thinks she know everything 624 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 2: about driving because she done read the manual. Oh, the manual. 625 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 2: Say this this especially to go to my scholars, my 626 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 2: scholars in the building. 627 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: You know who you are. 628 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 2: But see, there's something called experience that matters you. Thinking 629 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 2: you know about a campaign doesn't matter. It comes down 630 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 2: to the experience. You can read all the books in 631 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 2: the world. You can be the scholars. 632 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: You know. 633 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 2: They love telling me I ain't no scholar. Well you 634 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 2: know you we I'm a reparationist. I do this for real. Well, 635 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 2: how many campaigns have you ran? Then I do that 636 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 2: for real? Oh, well, that ain't got nothing to do politics. 637 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 2: What actually does, because the only way reparations can get 638 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 2: pushed anywhere is through politics. What the hell y'all talking about? 639 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 2: So if you don't know how to run no grassroot campaign, 640 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 2: I'm talking about the grass root campaign. I'm not talking 641 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,280 Speaker 2: about just saying your grassroots I'm talking about actually grassroots campaign, 642 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,280 Speaker 2: like you know, getting a ballot, getting something on a ballot, 643 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 2: getting an initiative passed. You know that type of shit, 644 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 2: not just talking about it. If you haven't done it yet, 645 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 2: then you can't speak from experience. I'm not bragging. I'm 646 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,479 Speaker 2: just telling you what it is. And because those things 647 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 2: are so hard to do, it requires the person to 648 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,399 Speaker 2: put all of their attention into the one thing they 649 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 2: choose to do, which is a candidate or an activist. 650 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 2: If you like what you heard on Straight Shot No Chaser, 651 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 2: please subscribe and drop a five star review and tell 652 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 2: a friend.
