1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: I'm sure somebody in the crowd has an amazing idea

18
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 3: for twenty twenty four. Can you talk to us about

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 3: how to overcome that fear? Be relentless as hell and

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 3: going after what we want to make that a reality.

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 4: There are a few things which a couple of things

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 4: which I think is very important. The first thing I

23
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 4: want to talk about is people of color who are

24
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 4: blessed with wealth and opportunity. We tend to think that

25
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 4: entrepreneurship and success it's a zero sum game. Meaning if

26
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 4: you get a billion dollars, then I cannot get a

27
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 4: billion dollars. So if I hear that you're doing something

28
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 4: great which has the potential for you getting a billion dollars,

29
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 4: but because I have half a billion, no no, no, no, no, no,

30
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 4: you can't do that. I'm going to do whatever I can,

31
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 4: or maybe I will not do anything to help you

32
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 4: which will enable you to get to that goal. So

33
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 4: a lot of what I've noticed is a lot of

34
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 4: wealthy black people don't want other people with potential to

35
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: do well. So I think that that is the first

36
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 4: thing that we need to focus on. How to accept

37
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 4: the fact that we all can be successful, all of us.

38
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 4: There's no reason why no one here shouldn't be you know,

39
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 4: it's perfectly fine that we all can be successful. And

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 4: the second thing that I want us to go into

41
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four with is that you can do it too.

42
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 4: You can do it too. What's the difference between you

43
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 4: and lurn mask? Does we have two heads? Until you

44
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 4: show me someone that has two heads. Don't tell me

45
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 4: I can't do it. You don't know what I'm capable of. Yes,

46
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 4: I understand, you know. So you should believe in yourself

47
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 4: because that self doubt is what is really killing us.

48
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 4: So these are the two main things that I want

49
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 4: us to really go in twenty twenty four with. You know,

50
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 4: let's see how we can help each other and let's

51
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 4: have some faith in ourselves and believe we can do it.

52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 3: As a follow up, real quick, where does that belief

53
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: in yourself come from? Because now everyone has that and

54
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 3: the most important thing that I want everyone to live

55
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: with here is that they can do it. But where

56
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 3: does that undying belief from yourself come from?

57
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 4: I mean, as I said, I think we are all

58
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 4: a putut of our surroundings. You know, as I said,

59
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 4: I moved back to Ghana. I didn't have a plan.

60
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 4: Even it was very difficult. I used to run out

61
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 4: of gas. I didn't have money to buy gas. I

62
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 4: was run out of gas, But not once did I

63
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 4: feel like I was poor psychologically, I felt like my

64
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 4: money was coming. It's just a matter of time. So

65
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 4: I've always had that feeling.

66
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,760

122
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: up to that.

123
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 5: All in Gas is a competitive space, right, and so

124
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 5: as you're breaking new grounds, especially for the country, what

125
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 5: is it like from the competition, what kind of challenges

126
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 5: are you facing. I'm sure there's people are like, no,

127
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 5: we can't let him win.

128
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a tough one because I'm the first

129
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 4: of our kind to really break through. It was really

130
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 4: chaling didn't so a lot of entities tried their best

131
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 4: to ensure that I will not be able to achieve that. Now,

132
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 4: let me give an example. I was in a meeting

133
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 4: with a company in Houston, oil and Gas company. So

134
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 4: you know, we're all doing well. We're having a chat.

135
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: So it's like, so how did you start.

136
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 4: I'm like, well, I took the profits that I made

137
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 4: in my downstream, which is the trading business, reinvested all

138
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 4: my profits in the appstream because you know, when you

139
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 4: drill one well's about a hundred million dollars one well,

140
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 4: one hundred million dollars. And I didn't have no bank loan. Okay,

141
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 4: no bank is going to give me a loan, No

142
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 4: local bank because it has the ability to help, and

143
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 4: no foreign bank because I'm black. You're crazy, You're not

144
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 4: going to give any money. So the guy was looking

145
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 4: at me and I'm like, I don't reinvested my profits.

146
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 4: He said, you did what he said. When I set

147
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 4: up a company, I resigned from an organization, I set

148
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 4: up a company, and Blackstone gave me fourhun are million dollars.

149
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 4: That's how I started. I didn't even have an asset.

150
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 4: They gave me four undred million dollars and said go

151
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 4: figure out, you know which oil asset you can acquire.

152
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 4: So he looked at me like you did what you

153
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 4: used your own word. So it's very challenging. But out

154
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 4: of all those challenges comes the blessings and comes the success.

155
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 4: So if you believe in yourself, if you believe in

156
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 4: what you're doing and you put your own money in,

157
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: think about what the next person is going to do

158
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 4: or what the bank. So now I have people like

159
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 4: you know running around me following me with money, you know,

160
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 4: just want to invest in you or want to give

161
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 4: you a loan or whatever it is. But I basically

162
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 4: use my own profits. I have no debts, no nothing

163
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 4: like that. To this day, I still have no loans

164
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 4: that I have no loans. I have drawn down on lines,

165
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 4: but I have not drawn down on anything. So sometimes

166
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 4: if you believe in your stuff, you got to put

167
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 4: in your own money and don't always expect because they

00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 4: to keep you going. You know, I'm going to give

172
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,760
