1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Wake that ass up in the morning. The Breakfast Club.

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: Morning everybody, It's the DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy.

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 2: We are the breakfast Club. Law on the Rosa is here.

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 2: have passed, Jamaal Bryant.

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: Welcome brother, Thank you sir. Good to be with y'all.

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: How are you feeling this morning, Bill?

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: Great?

9
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 3: Feeling good?

10
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: You flew in this I flew in last night.

11
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 3: Oh wow wow, get right after the service.

12
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 4: Right after service. Yeah, I was too scared. I was

13
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 4: gonna be delayed. Delta got a whole lot going on

14
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 4: right now. So I came in last night. Better safe

15
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 4: than sorry.

16
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 5: You know you you one of the people who you

17
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 5: You actually use social media to spread the word and

18
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 5: spread what you're doing in a a in a great way.

19
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 3: When did you realize that you had to start doing it?

20
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 4: I think, uh, culture made it. The culture changes every

21
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 4: four years. Church culture changes every twenty so the average

22
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 4: church is fifteen years behind schedule. So to reach a

23
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 4: younger demographic, I knew I had to hear that most

24
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 4: churches Charlemagne broadcasts on Facebook.

25
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: Most young people are on.

26
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 4: TikTok, So it's a great disconnect. So social media really

27
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 4: is that bridge to make the church relevant to a

28
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 4: generation as disconnected and.

29
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 3: Church called you said, church cold changes every twenty years.

30
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 4: Yes, that look like I don't well by virtue of

31
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 4: the fact that we're always running behind. So the average

32
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 4: Black church wouldn't even know what AI is. You have

33
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 4: to think most churches didn't even stream to the pandemic.

34
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 4: Three thousand, three forty five churches closed in the pandemic

35
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 4: simply because they didn't have online given they still passing

36
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 4: the plate in writing checks and don't know.

37
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: How to download. So a lot of our churches have

38
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: got to really run up to speed.

39
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: Wow, and how is that with the old congregation, the

40
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: older congregation and the younger congregation with the TikTok and

41
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: Facebook mesh.

42
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: Right, It is really a changing of the guard. That

43
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: church is.

44
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 4: What was our grandmother's church with funeral home fans and

45
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 4: fried chicken downstairs has shifted and the newer generation may

46
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 4: not come to a physical building.

47
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: They may just stream.

48
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 4: So those who are in the old church said, are

49
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 4: you ain't really doing it if you ain't in the

50
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 4: building when we do everything online. So to say that

51
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 4: you're not really connected to God because you're streaming and

52
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 4: not sitting on the pew is a disconnective of what

53
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 4: the culture is and where we're going.

54
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 6: What's your I mean, I know you get you always

55
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 6: get people that love you or don't love you. They

56
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 6: probably used to this, But what's your model every day

57
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 6: when you're like, Okay, I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna

58
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 6: say something that people probably won't touch. What's that motivating factor?

59
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 6: Because sometimes I think pastor stereo away from stuff because

60
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 6: they don't want controversy, because they think controversy means that

61
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 6: God is not within the house anymore.

62
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's an incredible book called The Carriage to be Disliked.

63
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 4: There's a whole lot of people always live for other

64
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 4: people's affirmation. John Maxwell said, if you want to be

65
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 4: like sell ice cream, but if you add sprinkles, somebody

66
00:02:59,000 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 4: gonna be.

67
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: Allergic to it.

68
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 4: And so I think that the call to be great

69
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 4: and a call to make a difference is realizing that

70
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 4: you're going to go outside of the culture. When Doctor

71
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 4: King was killed, his popularity was at its lowest. But

72
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 4: now everybody got street signs and T shirts and a

73
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 4: lot of times people don't recognize your greatness until after

74
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 4: you make the impact. Maha Na Gandhi said, first they

75
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 4: laugh at you, then they try to kill you, then

76
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 4: they try to copy what you did. And so once

77
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 4: you find out how to be a frontiersman and to

78
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 4: make that difference, it'll really free you from other people's opinion.

79
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask one more back of the church question.

80
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: Is a physical church necessarily needed?

81
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 3: Right?

82
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: And the reason I asked that is you talk about

83
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 2: the amount of people at douch stream right. Yeah, it's

84
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: difficult to get out if you have a bunch of

85
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: kids and everything that's going on in this world, people

86
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: are scared. Is it physical church needed now?

87
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely? It is the power of unity.

88
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 4: There was an article a couple of weeks ago how

89
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: social media has made this the loneliest Ageeople are connected

90
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 4: online but disconnected from people.

91
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: So a lot of people are depressed.

92
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 4: A lot of people have anxiety, a lot of people

93
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 4: have sleep disorder, a lot of people are confronting mental illness.

94
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: But online everything is up and we stuck.

95
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 4: But I think that that sense of community, that sense

96
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 4: of connectedness, is still.

97
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 5: Necessary before we get into the target fast. I want

98
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 5: to talk about Jesse Waters from Fox News. Yes, Jesse

99
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 5: Water said you was racist, Yes, because you criticized black

100
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 5: people who went to the White House for the Black

101
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 5: History Month program.

102
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 4: Right, what do you say to that that he clearly

103
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 4: doesn't know what racism is because I wasn't talking about

104
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 4: white people. I would talk about black people who having

105
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 4: an identity crisis, who were in their cheering for Black

106
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 4: History Months. Under an administration that wants to make it illegal,

107
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 4: no federal agency could honor Black History Months. So for

108
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 4: them to have a program was absolutely crazy. And all

109
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 4: the more, they raised up my picture Charlemagne after announcing

110
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 4: who was the new FBI director. Uh So for your

111
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 4: own people to do that to you, I was calling

112
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 4: them out. I don't know why he would call that racism,

113
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 4: as much as it was exposure.

114
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 1: Black people don't have the capacity to be racist.

115
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: I wonder why they did hold your picture up in the.

116
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: Three of them.

117
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 4: Charlamagne, you've been to the White House on the way, Yeah,

118
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: you've been to the White House never in your life,

119
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 4: never under nobody.

120
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 3: No, oh wow, the vice president.

121
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 4: Let's take the vice president house. You're not going in

122
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 4: the vice President's house with a picture or a sign

123
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 4: holding up no stick. You barely can get a backpack

124
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 4: in there. So for them to have three pictures of

125
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 4: me in the east wing is absolutely crazy. And I

126
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 4: don't know Jasmin Krackett is up there? How came Jefferson

127
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 4: is up there? Clypun is up there? Why put my

128
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 4: picture up? Uh?

129
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: So I think it was a targeted attack.

130
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 4: Uh.

131
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: And so for them to assume I wasn't gonna say

132
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: anything was outlandish.

133
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 3: You did call them the spools who sat by the

134
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: door though, yes, well that's a good thing.

135
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, in the context of the book was funny

136
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 4: and Charlamagne none of them negroes ready.

137
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: So they didn't even know what I was talking about.

138
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 4: Uh until I also called him as a runaway slave,

139
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 4: which is and they didn't even understand the context of

140
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 4: it because they're lost in their own misery of delusion.

141
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 6: You also said you reminded them that you ain't never scared,

142
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 6: reminded them from the West side of Baltimore and told

143
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 6: them they got a problem.

144
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: Pull up on you.

145
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 6: Has anybody reached out to you to have that conversation

146
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 6: or whatever? That pull up you thought was?

147
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: No, they made videos. They don't have none of that

148
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: in them.

149
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 4: This was the society, this was the fraternity of Calton Banks.

150
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 4: None of them, none of them got that kind of

151
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 4: DNA in them. So they all went on and did

152
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 4: the social media posts.

153
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 3: Uh.

154
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 4: I don't even know if they knew what that meant.

155
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 4: They needed a hood interpreter, a hood whisperer to tell

156
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 4: them what it is that that meant. But they are

157
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 4: so lost that they have that access to the president

158
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: and didn't champion any of.

159
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: The needs of their own community.

160
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 4: So while they are celebrating Black History Month, they should

161
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: have said to them, Hey, if we're going to celebrate it,

162
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 4: we can't ban the books that record it. If we're

163
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 4: going to celebrate it, then we can't penalize the public

164
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 4: schools that want to teach it or fire the instructors

165
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 4: who are really ambassadors for it. For them to have

166
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 4: that access and that opportunity and not, in the words

167
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 4: of Bishop Jackson, maximize the moment with just a waste.

168
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 3: You from Baltimore. How come you don't say church pew

169
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 3: listen from Baltimore?

170
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh yeah, no, I'm local and global, so I

171
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: got out. You got period?

172
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, half and a half with wings period no,

173
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 4: I got it.

174
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: All day long.

175
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 4: I'm Baltimore through and through, but I spent time in

176
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 4: bolt In Atlanta, I went to more House, then I

177
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 4: went to a Duke for a grad school, and then

178
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 4: I went back to.

179
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: Bolton, don't you?

180
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 6: And what's your relationship like with the black pastors who

181
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 6: were also working President Trump? Because I know you called

182
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 6: them out before too, it was on their top. So

183
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 6: is there, like, is there a working relationship because I

184
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 6: think you do make points that people should listen to

185
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 6: and they're there.

186
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: Yes, No, it's Nikki Giovanni's ego tripping.

187
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 4: A lot of people miss what the assignment is because

188
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 4: they want the proximity of power without even really.

189
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: Having the real access of it.

190
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 4: And so it's got to go beyond what is the

191
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 4: photo app or a handshake to say, oh, I know

192
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: the president.

193
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: But now that you know them, what are you going

194
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: to do about it?

195
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 4: So I think that there is a common ground for

196
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 4: us to be able to meet, but you've got to

197
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 4: make sure that you don't sell your own people out

198
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 4: in the process.

199
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 5: To your point, That's why I never wanted to go

200
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 5: to the white though, because it's just like for what like,

201
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 5: I'm not going just for a photo op if I'm

202
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 5: not presenting anything, or going with somebody who's presenting something.

203
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: With the point, I'm with you on fifty yard line.

204
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 4: But you represent too much people of influence who won't

205
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 4: have that access. So when it is that you go there,

206
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 4: this is an era Charlemagne where you would have more

207
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 4: influence than any head of any civil rights organization. More

208
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 4: people are listening to you. I don't want to call

209
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 4: the names of organizations than a lot of those organizations.

210
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: Let's go a step further.

211
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 4: We step outside of this room, go down, says and

212
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 4: ask people who was the head of this organization?

213
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: Head of that? They have no idea.

214
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 4: And so I think that you got to realize that

215
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 4: the shaping of influence is different than the microphone that

216
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 4: you would have entree to get into those spaces.

217
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 3: Would you meet with Trump?

218
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: I would meet with Trump, but I wouldn't go by myself.

219
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: Got you.

220
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 4: I wouldn't go by myself. I'd have to take some

221
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 4: credible people with me. So one, hold me accountable so

222
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 4: we can all say what happened in that meeting, And

223
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 4: two to make sure y'all ain't gonna play me like

224
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 4: Zelenski ain't no way in the world you're gonna have

225
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 4: all them cameras rolling and then say you ought to

226
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 4: be grateful to be here, and how come you ain't

227
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 4: got a suit on? You got to have some level

228
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 4: of accountability in it. Would you pray before you go

229
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 4: in there? So I pray before I pray in there.

230
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 4: I'd have a biwe of my grandmother's Are you're in

231
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 4: my podcast?

232
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 6: Oh?

233
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: No, all of that, But there's no way I would

234
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 1: just go in there.

235
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 3: Hey, let's ge should have handled it.

236
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: I think he did it.

237
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 4: What this administration has shown us is diplomacy is no

238
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 4: longer honored. That was an argument in the barbershop that

239
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 4: was not world leaders talking about the devastation of hundreds

240
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 4: of thousands of lives. So I give him high accommendation

241
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 4: that the argument should not be whether he had a

242
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 4: suit on, is what are you going to do about

243
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 4: innocent children being bombed? About seniors who are living out

244
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 4: in the street. And the question that he should have said,

245
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 4: why do y'all have suits on when your people are

246
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 4: fighting to get medicaid while y'all got suits on when

247
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 4: all of these students are getting ready to be rib

248
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 4: the scholarships from pel grants while y'all got suits on.

249
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 4: When the stock market is losing billions of dollars every day,

250
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 4: everybody should be an overalls. So he should have flipped it.

251
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 4: But I think he did it in as much decency

252
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 4: intact as it could.

253
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 5: I want to ask you to as a pastor, what

254
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 5: makes you get involved in politics so much?

255
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: Because I see people.

256
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 5: I see a lot of pastores like to steer clear,

257
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 5: steer stay clear from that.

258
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: Why do you like to get involved?

259
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 4: Well, one a lot of staying clear now because they

260
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 4: don't know what this administration is going to do. This

261
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 4: administration has already said that they want to take away

262
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 4: five or one c threes. Uh, they want to look

263
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 4: at anybody who stands with Palestine as a terrorist organization.

264
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: But I think that it's got to be.

265
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 4: A revolution comes with inconvenience, Uh, to know that it

266
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 4: goes against the prick, and you got to stand on business.

267
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: Uh.

268
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 4: And to be a real profit is not you get

269
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 4: a car, you get a house, you get money. A

270
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 4: real profit biblically was to confront the king and say

271
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 4: you out of order, you're not doing this right. And

272
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 4: I think that you're going to find a whole lot

273
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 4: of people emerging, and they are people who are doing it.

274
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: What has happened in the culture is we have confused

275
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: notoriety with strength.

276
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 4: The most powerful preachers in every major city don't have megachurches,

277
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 4: but they're in the community doing the hard work.

278
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: But they don't have press conferences.

279
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 4: They don't know the governor, they don't know the mayor,

280
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 4: but the people in the community they serve on in

281
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 4: respect them.

282
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: Let's talk about this, the forty day Fast of Target.

283
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: Yes, and this is.

284
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 2: Something that you're trying to put into play, and why

285
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 2: I'm not trying you are putting.

286
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: It in another way. Yeah.

287
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 4: So people are asking, why do we pick Target when

288
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 4: Walmart out of order, McDonald's out, or the John DIA's out,

289
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 4: or the Bank of America's out of order, Amazon, Amazon

290
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 4: is out of order? Is we wanted to go? The

291
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 4: African proverb says, if you want to eat an elephant,

292
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 4: do one.

293
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: Piece at a time.

294
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 4: So we picked Target first for say reasons. Number one,

295
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 4: Target is headquartered in the same city George Floyd was killed.

296
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 4: When George Floyd was killed, Target came out made an

297
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 4: announcement that they're going to invest two billion dollars in

298
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 4: the black business two billion drum roll, and it starts

299
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 4: December of twenty twenty five. When Trump made the announcement

300
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 4: January of twenty twenty five, they dishonored that commitment. So

301
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 4: we wanted to hold them accountable because when they made

302
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 4: the pledge, they had nothing to do with DII. Secondly,

303
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 4: I am embarrassed Breakfast Club to say to you, Nigro

304
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 4: spend twelve million dollars a day in Target, and I

305
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 4: don't know any black business that amasses that much money

306
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 4: in any.

307
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: Singular day to twelve million day a day.

308
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 4: Number three, Target is on twenty seven college campuses and

309
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 4: not one HBCU. Number four outside of the federal government.

310
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 4: Target is the largest employer of black people. There are

311
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 4: four hundred thousand black people on payroll and don't honor us.

312
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 4: So we're given that kind of money, that much human capital,

313
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 4: and to not honor us, I think is dismally disrespected.

314
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 4: And because they're publicly traded, we wanted to see what

315
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 4: will happen in those forty days. That shows the data,

316
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 4: this is the impact when black people walk away, and

317
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 4: to share it with those sharecrops, so it will not

318
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 4: just be forty days, but every movement has to have

319
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 4: a benchmark, It has got to have a strategy, and

320
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 4: you got to have some data.

321
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 3: What do you call it fast and not a boycott?

322
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I called it a fast because this was a

323
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 4: call to the Black church to become active. Something happened

324
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 4: silently that scholars and historians are going to have to

325
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 4: pay attention to the rise of Black Lives Matter. Charlemagne

326
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 4: was the very first movement of civil rights for black

327
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 4: people that was not berthed out of the church, the

328
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 4: very first civil rights movement that happened that didn't have

329
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 4: a religious leader at the front.

330
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: And so the Black church is going backwards.

331
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 4: This is the largest demographic of black people since we've

332
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 4: been in America who don't go to church at all,

333
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 4: who don't subscribe to organized religion.

334
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: We're at twenty eight percent.

335
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 4: The largest amount of Black people who self identify as atheists,

336
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 4: who say they don't believe in God, don't believe in nothing.

337
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 4: So this was a call specifically for Black Christians to

338
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 4: show the younger generation our head is not in the sand.

339
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 4: We're a part of it, but we're aligning it with

340
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 4: prayer that those forty days is the high holy season

341
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 4: for the Christian community.

342
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: We're praying because this is a spiritual warfare that we're

343
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: under with JD.

344
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 4: Vance and Donald Trump, with all of the things that

345
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 4: are happening with these exis executive orders. Marching is good,

346
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 4: Protesting is necessary, Petitions are important. But if we don't

347
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 4: bring a spiritual grounding to it, I think that we're

348
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 4: gonna miss it.

349
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: During the Montgomery bus.

350
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 4: Boycott that lasts three hundred and eighty one days, what

351
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 4: nobody talks about is for three hundred and eighty one days.

352
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: Every night they went back to the church for prayor so.

353
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 4: I think that in the movement you've got to have

354
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 4: a faith entity intertwined in it in order for you

355
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 4: to move forward.

356
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: What do you say to some of the people that

357
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: have black products in Target? They say that, you know,

358
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 2: because of this boycott. If a boycott happens and people

359
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: are stopping to go to Target, that is going to

360
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: affect their products even more.

361
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: I know.

362
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 2: We had the co founders of Rocke Roots on the

363
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 2: Breakfast Club. They found the lit bar and they were

364
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: saying that if people don't come into the store, which

365
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: Target is their hugest manufactured the hugest buyer.

366
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: So what happens to those products?

367
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 4: Number one, the lit bar and all of those entities

368
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 4: understand a new thing out called drop ship. You don't

369
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 4: have to go in the physical store to help them.

370
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 4: Because of that, In foresight, we partner with the US

371
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 4: Black Chamber of Commerce.

372
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: So every person that goes.

373
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 4: To targetfast dot org, within an hour, I send you

374
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 4: a digital directory of three hundred thousand black businesses across

375
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 4: the country. So we don't want those businesses to be

376
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 4: adversely impacted. We want people to support them, but do

377
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 4: it online. I can support the lit Bar and not

378
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 4: go into Target to do it. I can go online

379
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 4: to do it. And so I think that as innovative

380
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 4: and creative people as black people are, let's do it online.

381
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 4: We do everything else online, so let's support them. And

382
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 4: the one thousand black vendors who are placed in Target,

383
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 4: we're going to prominently place on the website so that

384
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 4: you'll be able to find them quickly without any post.

385
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: I saw you.

386
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 6: Two things to what you're saying. So the first thing,

387
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 6: when they were up here, they talked about the inventory

388
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 6: and just how much money they have to put a

389
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 6: head to be any store that comes out of their

390
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 6: own pocket that they will lose out on if people

391
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 6: do not if they're not supporting these companies or whatever.

392
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 6: So even if you're buying it from their website, because

393
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 6: they're already in contract for this amount of inventory alloted

394
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 6: to Target, they lose out. They don't profit on that.

395
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 4: Now, yes, well that money has already been spent. A

396
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 4: movement comes with inconvenience. It came that same argument happened

397
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 4: in the Montgomery bus Boy Guide. The question was asked,

398
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 4: what do we do for the bust mechanics.

399
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: Who were all black? So what they did is they pulled.

400
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 4: All of those bust mechanics out of Montgomery and set

401
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 4: up garages at the churches. What nobody is talking about.

402
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 4: It's four mechanic shops came out of it. So I

403
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 4: understand that it's an inconvenience. I know we got to

404
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 4: go a different route. But I would then say that's up.

405
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 4: The ant is a business principle, let's buy more to

406
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 4: cover what is that loss?

407
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: Companies take losses all the time.

408
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 4: But a group of misguided preachers went into Target in

409
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 4: Detroit and say, let's just buy black inventory and come

410
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 4: out you're still supporting Target. So I think that we've

411
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 4: got to come away. Even if we got to raise

412
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 4: the price in order to make the balance, Let's do it.

413
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 4: One of the things that black people do wrong whenever

414
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 4: it is with supporting black business, we always want a discount.

415
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 4: Let's pay full price and support them. Let's not just

416
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 4: do it with lip service, but let's do it through

417
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 4: the investment.

418
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 6: And I saw you my last thing to your point

419
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 6: of like just up in the ante online. Yes, the

420
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 6: women from Rocker Roots talked about how majority Ellen's I'm sorry,

421
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 6: I her name defind me. I own Jamison and Ellen

422
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 6: sellers talked about how even in Walmart's majority of their

423
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 6: clients hele that they make a large amount of their

424
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 6: money off of on those products. They don't have the

425
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 6: access to the dot com So being able to walk

426
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 6: into like it's just different in some of the lower

427
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 6: royal areas. So being able to walk into a Walmart

428
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 6: or a Target helps them as far as inventory and

429
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 6: creates access for those people.

430
00:19:59,040 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: What about that?

431
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that we've got to ask ourselves what

432
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 4: is the principle And is the principle more important than

433
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 4: the profit? You've got a whole lot of churches who

434
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 4: have space that is underutilized and under used. The fact

435
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 4: that in twenty twenty five we don't have a minority

436
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 4: on retail space to direct people on says that.

437
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: We got to re evaluate how we do business.

438
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 4: So going into Target to buy whatever this product is

439
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 4: to say, hey, forget that they don't honor us, forget

440
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,479
Speaker 4: that they've disrespected to George Floyd family, forget that they

441
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 4: are only allowing black people on entry level positions. Let's

442
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 4: do it for lipstick. I think that we're losing the

443
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 4: larger conversation. I want to see the sisters win. I

444
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 4: want to see them do overwhelmingly well. But I think

445
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 4: that we got to get into a room and figure

446
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 4: out how do we make it more accessible for those

447
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 4: in rural areas. I don't think that the answer is

448
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 4: to keep shooting ourselves in the foot and then ask

449
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 4: for a cast.

450
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 2: So will we ever get there past it? Like you know,

451
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 2: we want to get there, right? Will we ever own

452
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: our own Target slash Walmart? Where we ever own our

453
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 2: own car manufacturer? Will we ever own our own so

454
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 2: we can rely on it? It just seems like we're

455
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 2: far stretched from that.

456
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, So one of the things that we're asking for

457
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 4: Target to do, and for all of the demands that

458
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 4: we're asking of Target, please go to targetfast dot or

459
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 4: they're on twenty seven college campuses, but no HBCUs. I'm

460
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 4: asking Target to partner with ten HBCUs to show our

461
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 4: businesses how to scale up and to go into the

462
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 4: retail space.

463
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,959
Speaker 1: REPM Shopton is one of my mentors.

464
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 4: But in the history of black people, we have never

465
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 4: marched black people into a white business to say, spend

466
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 4: money here. So we got to figure out how it

467
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 4: is that we really re route and redirect so that

468
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 4: we can create an ecosystem.

469
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: For us to be able to do.

470
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 4: I think that is possible, but as a plan that

471
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 4: has to be a foot in order to make it done.

472
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 5: I don't have any problem with the boycott but I

473
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 5: don't have a problem with the boycott either. I just

474
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 5: feel like, you know, people should do something. I agree

475
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 5: if they're moved to do something. But I saw you

476
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 5: repost the preachers who let it there flocking to the

477
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 5: store to buy all the black products. Why why did

478
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 5: you feel the need to.

479
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: Read the room, read the room. There's there's there's no.

480
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 3: Way room though everybody room different.

481
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, read the living room. Yeah.

482
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 4: The Japanese proverbs said the best room in the house

483
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 4: is the room for improvement. You'll notice that it caurreed

484
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 4: on nowhere. Nobody thought that that was a good idea.

485
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 3: Except a lot of people talking about a bide.

486
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, end target.

487
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. I heard a lot of people saying't going there

488
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 3: and buy all the black products.

489
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't do that, Yeah, don't do that.

490
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 4: I think that there's got to be a different way

491
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 4: that we redirect. I think, to my sister's point, how

492
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 4: do we support these businesses, to Envy's point that we

493
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 4: don't have a major retailer.

494
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: We're the most creative people. Y'all brought everybody in there.

495
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 4: Master p got on from selling from the trunk of

496
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 4: his car. So I think that we got to be

497
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 4: innovative and put a think tank together. Say, Maggie Johnson,

498
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 4: you brought all these movie theaters in the concession staying

499
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 4: cannot now buy lipstick. I don't know the answer to it,

500
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 4: but I think that we've got to figure out a

501
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 4: way and figure out a path and figure out a tributary.

502
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 5: I just don't want us to make the same mistakes

503
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 5: that our generations before us me meaning like people would knock.

504
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 3: Martin Luther King Jr. For his methods, and.

505
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 5: You know, different organizations would knock each other and say, no,

506
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 5: we should be doing it this way, we should be

507
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 5: doing it that way. It's like yo, as long as

508
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 5: everybody's doing something, I feel like it all can be effective.

509
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: In a sense. I'm gonna meet you on a fifty

510
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: yard line. If you got beef with.

511
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 4: Somebody, Me and you were friends and you find out

512
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 4: who you got beef with, I'm at dinner with You're like, oh, man,

513
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 4: I thought we was together, don't worry about it was

514
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 4: just cheesecake.

515
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: We ain't even talk about you. You would look at

516
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: me with a.

517
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 4: Different kind of eye, like, came, man, if we in

518
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 4: it together, how are you carrousing with the person who

519
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 4: is against me? And so I think that there's gotta

520
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 4: be a line in the sand of how it is

521
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 4: that we stand without attacking each other. I think that's

522
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 4: where where the rubbers the road. That can be many

523
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 4: different paths. I spoke at a college last week in Michigan,

524
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 4: and I asked them who is the head of the

525
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 4: LGBTQ movement, and all of these college students, nobody can

526
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 4: answer it. And I said, do you all believe that

527
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 4: LGBTQ has a movement? They said yes, and I said,

528
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 4: you don't know. The head said no. I said, that's

529
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 4: the memo black people gotta take. Have a movement without

530
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 4: making one singular spokesperson, that what it is that we're

531
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 4: doing can be rested on the back of the shoulder

532
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 4: of one person being the leader. So the movement doesn't

533
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 4: have to be just shopped in or Jasmine Crockett or

534
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 4: Maxine Waters that all of us are moving towards that

535
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 4: en but it is not one entity against another. The

536
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 4: reality is Malcolm X made Martin King a better leader

537
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 4: because he questioned his philosophy and he had to defend it.

538
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 4: And so I think one of the things that the

539
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 4: Detroit Passes did made a sharpened the conversation as to

540
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 4: why it is that we're not going. So it's not

541
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 4: just a social media post or rob Rob moment, but

542
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 4: there's something really tangible for us to argue.

543
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: To that point.

544
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 5: I feel like Malcolm was wrong for that. And the

545
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 5: reason I say that is because Martin Luther King Jr.

546
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 5: Was doing real work in an area We needed him

547
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 5: to do real work, meaning that he was building with

548
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 5: john Na Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson to get actual

549
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 5: legislation passed. But we need somebody like Martin, I mean,

550
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 5: Malcolm raising hell in the streets.

551
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 3: So to me, there was no reason for Malcolm to

552
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 3: be calling out Martin, yes and vice versa.

553
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think it was calling out the philosophy.

554
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 4: The students who are part of the civil rights movement

555
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 4: before they could protest, before they could demonstrate, they argued

556
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 4: on the college campus at the professor, and they had

557
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 4: to have practice. So if somebody spits on you, that's

558
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 4: what you do. They try to pull you out from

559
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 4: the lunch counter, this is what you do. The reality

560
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 4: is we are no longer arguing philosophies. We're just arguing

561
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 4: about people and personality or who I don't like, who

562
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 4: I agree with. But I think that iron sharpens iron

563
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 4: in that space of arguing and articulating what we stand

564
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 4: on and why there needs to be different tracks. My

565
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 4: issue is not with people who argue against my methodology.

566
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: My issue is with those who don't believe in nothing,

567
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: who are just internet gangster.

568
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 4: Oh, this ain't gonna work. We ain't never gonna stick together.

569
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 4: This ain't gonna have no traction. Okay, then what are

570
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 4: you gonna do?

571
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 2: How those people reached out to you, the people that

572
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 2: don't agree with what you're doing, like those pastors that

573
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 2: took their congregation into buy Have you had those conversations

574
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 2: who y'all can get on the same page and see

575
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 2: some of the things.

576
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: That yes, yes, yes.

577
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 4: So as soon as I saw it, because I know them,

578
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 4: three fourths of them, I text them, ay man, y'all

579
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 4: on the wrong side of history.

580
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 3: You said amen, He said, nigga.

581
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: I said it was a Sunday.

582
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 6: I said.

583
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: It was a Sunday.

584
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 4: So I said, hey man, I said, hey man, you're

585
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 4: on the wrong side of history. He texted me back

586
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 4: and said, hey, this is what I thought process was,

587
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 4: This is why it is that we did it. I said,

588
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 4: it would have gone a whole lot further and better

589
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 4: if you had the conversation before you went in there.

590
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 4: So I went on a college campus to go speak

591
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 4: in Detroit, Wayne State. I come out of a lecturing

592
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,719
Speaker 4: and the presses there and says, what do you think

593
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 4: about these pastors going to target?

594
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: Said? What passed us?

595
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 4: What are you talking about the reporter showed it to

596
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 4: me on the phone, and so that's when I got

597
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 4: in it. And I think that communication can solve a

598
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 4: whole lot of issues on so many different levels, whether

599
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 4: you married or whether you go on political agendas. Silence

600
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 4: is the worst thing that you can ever do. But

601
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 4: when we learn how to talk to each other and

602
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 4: discuss it, I understood where it is that they were

603
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 4: coming from. Those pastors are now walking alongside us for

604
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 4: the Target fast. But I think that communication is necessary.

605
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 4: I also want to put on record that I think

606
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 4: that it's good for black people to be in a

607
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 4: Republican party. I don't think all black should be Democrat.

608
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 4: We need somebody else who is in there. But if

609
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 4: you in there, you got to advocate for your people.

610
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 4: At the same time, I.

611
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 5: Saw you say that Target has been trying to reach

612
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,479
Speaker 5: out to you. Yes, you, I don't want to talk

613
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 5: no diversity.

614
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 4: No, you may not have a job next week. You've

615
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 4: reached out during Black History mardw. I don't know if

616
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 4: you're gonna make it to same Patrick's. I need somebody

617
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 4: who got some job security and got some influence to

618
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 4: make a decision. I think this generation doesn't want symbolic wins,

619
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 4: they want substantive strides. And if you're just doing that

620
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 4: to say we met, we talked all the street, credibility

621
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 4: is gone. Needs somebody who can make a decision. And

622
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 4: you got to ask and be what's in the mind

623
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 4: of a CEO that can lose twelve million dollars a

624
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 4: day and say I'm not meeting.

625
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 2: So the person that reached out to you felt had

626
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 2: no influence.

627
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: Not enough influence.

628
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you're gonna send the black people out to

629
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 4: talk to the black black guy, go talk to the black.

630
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: Gun them down. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no.

631
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,680

Speaker 5: who filed a class action lawsuit against Target, and they

659
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 5: claim that Target artificially inflated stock prices and failed the

00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 5: one investors about how removing DEI and ESG, which is environmental,

661
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 5: social and governance policies, could cause stock prices to plummet.

662
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 5: And it also talks about how Target concealed the backlashes

663
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 5: suffered from the.

664
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 3: Pride Month campaign.

Speaker 5: twenty twenty four.

668
00:30:55,520 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 4: The America's worst Nightmayre is the marginalized unit. Fine, if

669
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 4: all of the different sectors came together, that's when you

670
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 4: have real power. Fingers separated don't mean anything. Fingers together

671
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 4: become a fists. The Poor People's Campaign is what doctor

672
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 4: King was putting together. Just before he was assassinated. He said,

673
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 4: the same poverty that's happening in Selma is the same

674
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:21,720

Speaker 1: The Appalachian Mountains.

676

Speaker 4: What happened that really frightened Jagehoover against the Black Panther

677
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 4: Party was they were unifying all marginalized people. So imagine,

678
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 4: if we're dealing with immigration, we don't allow the media

679
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 4: to just make it a Mexican issue. Let's talk about

680
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 4: the five hundred thousand Haitians who are unprotected. Let's talk

681
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 4: about the Africans who are being deported. Hear this family

682
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 4: who they not even deporting back to Africa. They in

683
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 4: jail right now in Panama, and we're not doing anything

684
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 4: or raising the alarm.

685
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: If all of.

686
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 4: These factions come together, A sister out of Harvard University says,

687
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,239
Speaker 4: you to have a real revolution, you don't need one

688
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 4: hundred percent participation, You only need three percent. If three

689
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 4: percent of the population organized, you can shut any culture down,

690
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 4: any government down, any society down.

691
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: And what we're seeing in.

692
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 4: These town hall meetings with these Republican senators and congress

693
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 4: people is people are waking up saying, Hey, this and

694
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 4: what I signed up for. This can't be the last

695
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,959
Speaker 4: train to Paris. Let me get out of here and

696
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 4: change direction. So I think that you're getting ready to

697
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 4: see a percolating in America of those who are marginalized,

698
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 4: that it is not just.

699
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: A race issue, it is a class issue. My last

700
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: question for you, where are you at now? Numbers wise?

701
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 6: Because I know you were looking to get one hundred

702
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,240

Speaker 1: So now, y'all, we got to get to one fifty.

708
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: We got to get to one fifty because numbers is power.

709
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 4: It was important for me to have tangible evidence of

710
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 4: how many people are standing behind us, that it is

711
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,960
