Unfortunately, people are going to be 62 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 3: looking for information that's accurate, that's just the truth. Yeah, 63 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 3: and it's gonna happen. And this is not me, you know, 64 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 3: waiting on the crash shout, waiting on something bad to happen. 65 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 3: That's what I did, Marcel. I'm just telling you what 66 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 3: it is. People truly, truly, truly do not understand what 67 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 3: is happening. And I will say about this time next year, 68 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 3: people are going to be truly wanting to know where 69 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 3: can I get information that is focused that it's really 70 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 3: going to tell me how to survive. If we just 71 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 3: look at this Epstein thing, you know, Republicans kept saying. 72 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: Release the files, release the files. Release. They ran a 73 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: whole campaign, release the files. 74 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 3: Release the files. Now, that's how to release the files. 75 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 3: Oh no, that was a democratic answer to release the files. 76 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 3: Trump told them, Hey, y'all stand down on asking. 77 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: About state and they're literally doing it. 78 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 3: So like Republicans are pissed off about it, Like wait 79 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,839 Speaker 3: a minute, you said release the files. Now you said 80 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 3: don't release the file? Did just so y'all know how 81 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 3: I get out. You've never heard me talk about Epstein. 82 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,839 Speaker 3: I don't talk about that. I wasn't talking about that then, 83 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 3: not that it wasn't important. I'm just giving you an 84 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 3: example on how I don't just necessarily go with the trends. 85 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 3: I wasn't talking about it then and I'm not talking 86 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 3: about it now. I wasn't talking about a lot of 87 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 3: these cases that you guys want to talk about for 88 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: the sensationalism of it all. And then when it's time 89 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 3: to get down the business, we can't talk about that 90 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 3: because we got to talk about this, you know. And again, 91 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 3: I'm not saying that case is not important, Marcella's I'm 92 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 3: just telling you I really am trying to give people 93 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 3: information and I think is going to really affect their 94 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 3: everyday life. And as politics continues to move to the 95 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 3: state level, which is what this show is about today. 96 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 3: As it continues to move to the state level, you're 97 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 3: going to need this information and I am just hyper 98 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 3: focused on it. I want to use this podcast for it. 99 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 3: I want to use my training for it. Anything that 100 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 3: I'm connected to, whether it's Revolt knows, anything else. I 101 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 3: really wanted to be about giving information. So I appreciate 102 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 3: those who rock with me, the people that you know, Hey, 103 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 3: I just want to know where I can get information. 104 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 2: That's whe we're here for. 105 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 3: And thank you Marcellas for not only being here to 106 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 3: support me through this and being my right hand, but 107 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 3: having a genuine, sincere desire. 108 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: To want to learn that's not easy. Yes, stay too, 109 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: I appreciate you. Thank you. Mm hm. 110 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 3: So I want to talk about I talked about this 111 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 3: earlier on in the season, about the Department of Education dismantling. 112 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 2: I remember a celebrity. 113 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 3: I want to throw that because I won't see no 114 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 3: shade because I know she didn't mean no harm. But 115 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 3: I remember her making a post saying, you know, hey, guys, 116 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 3: this is just a process relaxed. Remember at the beginning, 117 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,679 Speaker 3: when everybody was saying, oh, it's a process, they still 118 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 3: have the balance of powers. 119 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 2: They still so I just can't do whatever you want 120 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: to do. 121 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 3: Well, it looks like if we go into August, Trump 122 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 3: is absolutely. 123 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: Doing what do you want to absolutely doing what you 124 00:05:58,839 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 2: want to do. 125 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 3: And not only is he only doing what he want 126 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 3: to do. The Supreme Court is supporting. 127 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 2: Him and doing what he want to do. 128 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 3: His party is supporting him to do what he want 129 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 3: to do. Nobody is bucking the system, and he's doing 130 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 3: what he want to do. 131 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 2: So he basically doing what you want to do. He's 132 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 2: absolutely doing what he want to do. 133 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 3: And what I found alarming then is when people say it, oh, 134 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 3: it's a process, Well, it is a process. If there 135 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 3: was something called balance of power, it's not a process. 136 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 3: If you run the Senate and the courts. Yeah, he 137 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 3: controls the process. So now we're seeing in real time 138 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 3: about the Department of Education and the dismantling. And what 139 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 3: I find so scary about this is people have taken 140 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 3: talking points my conservative friends who can't stand democrats, And 141 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 3: I get it. 142 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 2: I know y'all can't stand democrats. I get it. 143 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 3: But I really they do need y'all to be able 144 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 3: to look at things objectively and not make everything about 145 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 3: Democrat Republican, LGBT and trans and immigrants. I really really do, 146 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 3: because for the black men to ask me the other day, well, 147 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 3: we need to be in control our education, open up 148 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 3: our own schools anyway, to not even understand that the 149 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 3: Department of Education doesn't even set curriculum and have nothing 150 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 3: to do with the curriculum. For me to say whether 151 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 3: ending the civil rights violation department and he says what 152 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 3: civil rights? For black men to ask what civil rights 153 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 3: is very alarming, and I know where they're getting the 154 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 3: information from. Marcella's A lot of these YouTubers are saying, Hey, guys, 155 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 3: don't worry about it. Ain't nobody taking out that's just Democrats, 156 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 3: Democrat talking points. 157 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 2: Nobody's taking our rights. We still got our rights. They 158 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 2: don't know what they're talking about, and ultimately they're setting 159 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 2: up their own constituents that are gonna need it more 160 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 2: than anybody setting them up with failure. 161 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 3: Because they don't know the real answer to give them 162 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 3: real solutions. They just say, nobody's taking our nineteen sixty 163 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 3: five rights. Well, let's say Marcella's I agree with that, 164 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 3: nobody's taking it. Fine, I don't have to go with 165 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 3: the Hey, guys, they're gonna take it. We don't even 166 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 3: have to go with that. Let's just land on what 167 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 3: makes you think, Marcella's that just because we have rights. 168 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 2: Means that people don't violate it? Right? 169 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, where's the disconnect with that. It's like having an 170 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 3: apple and I say nobody's taking my apple. Does that 171 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 3: mean that ain't nobody gonna try to snatch it or 172 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 3: try to take it or bite into it or damage it. 173 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 3: Or why are y'all thinking because we have the right. 174 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 3: They've convinced you that, because we have the right, that 175 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 3: nobody's violating rights. And for a black man to not 176 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 3: understand that, especially in a school system that over penalizes 177 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 3: black boys more than anybody, more than anybody. It's why 178 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 3: doctor Ulmar, whether y'all agree with him or not, or 179 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 3: if he ever go get to school or not get 180 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 3: to school, one of the things he talks about is 181 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 3: the high percentages of black boys with ADHD and the 182 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 3: behavior issues that come along with ADHD and getting expelled 183 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 3: and expended it suspended, suspending. He believes there's other healthy ways, 184 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 3: you know, to manage that besides putting kids on riddling. 185 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 3: But black boys are suspended and expelled more than anybody. 186 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 3: It's one reason why guys, make sure you go listen 187 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 3: to the episode we dropped this week with doctor Perry 188 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 3: and I about higher education. It's the reason why a 189 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 3: lot of black boys don't even make it pass high 190 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 3: school because they don't believe because they were taught at 191 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 3: school that they couldn't learn, that they were slow, that 192 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 3: they were dumb, that maybe because of dyslexi or ADHD, 193 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 3: or behavior issues or something that's going on at home, 194 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 3: or maybe not even having a meal in the berey 195 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 3: to be able to focus that when they barely get 196 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 3: through high school. Not saying our girls too, but I'll 197 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 3: seeking specifically about black boys. So they barely make it 198 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 3: through high school. 199 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, let me just get a trade, something faster to learn, 200 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 2: not saying necessarily easier, but doesn't require, you know, let 201 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 2: me get six months or a year. 202 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 3: Or you know, not the long four year path you 203 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 3: know to actually finish a college degree. Let me just 204 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 3: work with my hands, work with my body, not where 205 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 3: I actually have to read information. A lot you know 206 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 3: comprehend it, not saying you don't in trades, but you 207 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 3: give my point. A lot of people can do with 208 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 3: their hands, but not with their mind. The black man's 209 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 3: body has always. 210 00:10:50,960 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 2: Been a top commodity. You know, I'm big on trade. 211 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 2: I'm always talking a trade. I think we need trade programs. 212 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 3: Back into the school, I was upset that Jada didn't 213 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 3: have access to cognitology, you know the way that I did. 214 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 3: I think it's very important, cosontology, homemack. She'd have a 215 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 3: home ack, welding mechanics. I'm with all that, Marcellus, But 216 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 3: what I'm seeing now with this overwhelming anti degree pro trade, 217 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 3: you definitely be pro trade, but the anti degree of 218 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 3: saying well. 219 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 2: You don't need it at all. 220 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 3: Now it has given conspiracy at this point. Now, you 221 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying now is given. No, we just 222 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 3: want you and skilled labor only.

Why they don't want 230 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 2: you in books? Like what is this anti book movement 231 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 2: going on? 232 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 3: They got you so focused on the right now that 233 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 3: you're not looking at long term. My ex husband called 234 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 3: this week, he said, tells, and I'm finally I remember 235 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 3: quite well when we got married and he was making 236 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 3: two hundreds some thousand dollars a year later on our marriage, 237 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 3: not right at the beginning. I remember him teasing people saying, 238 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 3: you know, I make more than that, and he got 239 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 3: a degree. There was a real animosity, you know now 240 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 3: going back and you know, looking because I was finishing 241 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 3: my degree at that time, and I remember we had 242 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 3: friends that you know, had agreed said yeah, I'm making 243 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 3: more to him. 244 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 2: And he got a degree and I'm making more to him. 245 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 2: And it gave him a lot. 246 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 3: Of pride to say that. It made him feel really accomplished. 247 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 3: And he was making more than him at that time. 248 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 3: And at that time he was working for a company 249 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 3: that was a private company that was doing really well. 250 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 3: It was the ACME out right before the bubble pop, 251 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 3: so they was rolling making money. Jef was making money. 252 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 3: Then when the bubble pop and shit got real and 253 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 3: he had to go in corporate space, take his mechanic 254 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 3: skills and go to Sears. Stayed at Serious about ten years. 255 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 3: I guess until Sears shut down. And then now with 256 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 3: FedEx major corporation, it's probably gonna be around for a minute. 257 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 2: You know. 258 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 3: Don't seem like they're going anywhere. He's a mechanic, he's 259 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 3: a manager over the fleets. But guess what he cannot promote? 260 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 3: He said, chesn't I finally see what you're saying. Even 261 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 3: if I wanted my boss's job, if my boss left tomorrow, 262 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 3: and I know I'm the best that they got, they 263 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 3: send me all around the company to train other people. 264 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 3: I know I'm absolutely the best, he said. Even if 265 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 3: I wanted his job, I couldn't have it because I 266 00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 3: don't have a degree. Because he said, even for the mechanics, 267 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 3: I said, that's how they get you out the system. 268 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 3: He said, I've gone as far as he's been there 269 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 3: eight years. He said, I literally can't go any higher 270 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 3: in the company because I don't have a degree. 271 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 2: Now I'll be like, okay, now I see why. 272 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 3: He kind of snappy and kind of bitter, you know, 273 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 3: not being funny, but you know, being for real. Yeah, 274 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 3: that's disappointing. Doctor Berry talked about the other day. You 275 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 3: can work your job ten years, know you better know you. 276 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 2: You know. Men, and you be like, well, what about that? 277 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 2: Ain't fair? Don't work like that. It ain't set up 278 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 2: to be fair. 279 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 3: And at truth be told, if you want to be 280 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 3: fair about it, that person that went and made that 281 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 3: sacrifice as somebody else didn't make. It's fair that they 282 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 3: get a better opportunity. That's why they made sacrifice. 283 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 2: Because they can learn what they need to on the job. 284 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 2: But you decided to not go learn what they learned 285 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 2: in college. So they went and learned it, and now 286 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 2: they're gonna come learn your job and get put over you. 287 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 2: I see it happening all the time.

That's not 293 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 3: why marce Ellis is set up to make sure that 294 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 3: wipe men. Let me just name it. That's what it is.

I 337 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 2: thought that Ray william one. 338 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 3: That I'm talking about, Like it's an adjunct, you know, 339 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 3: part time. Let's just say I'm teaching one class a week. 340 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 3: You get paid by the credit hour. I'm not talking 341 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 3: about that. You can be full time professor, tenured what 342 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 3: they call, you know, make more. But I'm saying if 343 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 3: I want to go keep part time at a community 344 00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 3: college with a master's degree, you might make Let's just say, 345 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 3: you know, your three hour class, so you're paid, you know, 346 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 3: by the credit hour. So let's say the credit hour 347 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 3: is you paid five hundred dollars. So if you're doing 348 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 3: nine credit hours, you know, I'm just giving you real rate. 349 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 2: It ain't like it ain't no like you're gonna be 350 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 2: rolling in the dough. 351 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 3: So if you do nine credit hours and let's say 352 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 3: they're paying five hundred with they or not, but that's 353 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 3: forty five hundred dollars a semester's three months, you know, 354 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 3: so that's averaging. You know, twelve fifteen is a part 355 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 3: time job. Twelve fifteen hundred dollars a month. And the 356 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 3: only reason why I'm even interested in that is because 357 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 3: if you ever want the full time, you gotta start there. 358 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 2: You know what I mean, you gotta get in it. 359 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 2: It's hard to get in the system. 360 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 3: Y'all keep believing that if y'all want to the Department 361 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 3: of Education, the Supreme Court say yeah, go ahead and 362 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 3: do your thing. 363 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 2: We won't be stopping nothing.

Now this is 366 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 2: where the bring it to the states. Bring it to 367 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 2: the states. 368 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 3: Y'all better learn your state constitution, start reading it right now. 369 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 3: I started refreshing myself on Florida right now because I'm 370 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 3: going extra heavy with veterans in Florida. 371 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 2: So I was reading all the statutes all day.

So the main things 392 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 2: that people need to know is. 393 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 3: And then you know, the misinformation for people are saying, well, 394 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 3: we need to start our own schools. We're already paying 395 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 3: the money for the taxes and you're not just gonna 396 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 3: start a school with our state interferance. Gotta stop with 397 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 3: the bullshit that don't even homeschool. You didn't even do that, 398 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 3: You don't even work on their homework. And yes, we 399 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 3: do need our own schools.

I'm working with him on a case 402 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 3: right now. They don't let you just come do that either. 403 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 3: You gotta fight the government for that. You gotta go 404 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 3: down to the state. You gotta get approval, you know 405 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 3: what I mean, People just be talking Marcella's like literally 406 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 3: just be talking.

If your state don't 412 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 3: believe in civil rights, like of Florida, they say, stop 413 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 3: being victims. 414 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 2: It is what it is.
