1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Well, what's up? His way up for Angela Ye. I'm 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: Angela Yee, and. 3 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 2: I have super Mayor Tiffany and Henyard here with us. 4 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:08,480 Speaker 1: How are you doing today? 5 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,960 Speaker 3: I'm doing good. Thank you for having me all. 6 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 1: Right, well, thanks for coming up. 7 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 2: And the reason they call you the super mayor is 8 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,240 Speaker 2: because you're the mayor of Dalton, Illinois. But you're also 9 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 2: the supervisor of the township, right, which is one hundred 10 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 2: and ninety thousand people, yes, and then the mayor of Dalton, 11 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 2: which is twenty three thousand residents. Okay, So explain the 12 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 2: difference in both of those positions for people who are listening. 13 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 3: Sure, So, if you know anybody that's a mayor, they 14 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 3: are over services. So that means like if you've got 15 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 3: street lights out, sidewalks, pavement of alleys or streets, things 16 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,279 Speaker 3: of that nature. And if you are somebody that's a 17 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 3: township supervisor, you over resources, so you'll pay a light bill, 18 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 3: gas bill, water bill, I do mortgage and rental assistance. 19 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 3: I even help you bury your loved ones. Okay, that's 20 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 3: the difference in we have a food pantry. 21 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: That's crazy that you have both of those positions. Is 22 00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: that a rare thing. 23 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 3: It is. I think two or three that I know 24 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 3: of that have dual seats like me, meaning a mayor 25 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 3: in supervisor. But there's plenty of elected officials that have 26 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 3: multiple seats. 27 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 2: Okay, because I always think of mayor is like such 28 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: a full time job that kind of occupies all of 29 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 2: your time. 30 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 3: And it does, but it's considered part time in my community. Okay, 31 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 3: So I'm able to do. 32 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 2: Other things too, all right, And you have been in 33 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: the news a lot, So that's why I'm glad that 34 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: you're up here today to clear up some things. 35 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 3: Yes, I'm here to lay to mask the rest because. 36 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: The way they make it seem like you're cookie from 37 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,919 Speaker 1: you know what. But you know that that's. 38 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: The way that make it seem like you're walking around 39 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: you got all the security dressed off fly, and so 40 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 2: I know part of your position is that you are 41 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 2: able to have security detail with you, and most mayors do. Yes, 42 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 2: I know our mayor definitely does, and I've been around 43 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: to notice see other people have security. 44 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 3: Yes, it comes with the seat. 45 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 2: But I also see that I was able to get 46 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: some of these messages because you do get voicemails, but 47 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 2: also emails of people that have been threatening you. 48 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 3: That's correct. 49 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: Some of them are. Can I do you mind if 50 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: I read? Because I know this could be triggering. I 51 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: don't know how you feel about this, but okay, you're 52 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: e F and krook, you ugly B. You will be 53 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: in prison soon, so get that nasty, greasy black vagina 54 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: ready for Shanikwa. The inmates will love to have orgies 55 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: with the racist, crooked mayor. All right, to move on 56 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 2: to some more, Hey griftin, maybe learn to effing speak 57 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 2: English sometime. Your grammar is atrocious, but I guess that's 58 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: what can be expected from a mayor who looks like 59 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: you do. I mean, these are these aren't even the 60 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: worst ones, by the way, I just want to say 61 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 2: there's a lot more in here. Somebody called you a 62 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 2: despicable savage monkey N word B. 63 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: And told you you better watch your back. 64 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 2: And then I did hear some of the voice meess one, 65 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: just as f all you goddamn N words. And you 66 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: are the first black woman to be in this position, Yes, 67 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: in both positions, in both positions, and the youngest and 68 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 2: the youngest yes. So did this start happening once the 69 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: news was reporting on what and we're going to get 70 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 2: into what the news has been reporting. But did this 71 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: start happening before the news reported on you? 72 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 3: Or after this happened when the news are reporting on me. 73 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 3: Now we got something some emails or something's here and there. 74 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 3: But it wasn't his bad. It got worse once the 75 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 3: news got involved because they got a national platform. So 76 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,559 Speaker 3: people tend to believe what they see on the news 77 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 3: and they just report things. Anybody can go do an 78 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 3: interview with them with no fact checking. Anybody can say anything, 79 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: and then now that's considered defamation of characters. And then 80 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 3: now you have to go clean it all up because 81 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 3: now people need to put you out there in the 82 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 3: bad light. And people tend to believe what they see 83 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 3: on the news. And that's why I believe what Trump 84 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 3: say when it comes to fake news, fake news is 85 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 3: true because I'm living it. I'm going through it right now. 86 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: I believe. 87 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 2: Champ also said if you say something enough times, people 88 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: will believe it whether or not it's true. 89 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: I believe that, and he definitely does that. 90 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 2: But you did win eighty two percent of the vote 91 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 2: when you ran for office and a landslide victory, So 92 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: how in your town of Dalton do people feel about 93 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: you now with everything that's going on, because I would 94 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: assume that matters the most. 95 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 3: It does, So that's what I do. I still on 96 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 3: the ground, boots on the ground. I never stopped talking 97 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 3: to my residents. I constantly have conversation with the mayor. 98 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 3: I also have a lot of outreach things going on. 99 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 3: What community is involved and community is engaged. A lot 100 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 3: of people tell me how they feel is good, better, 101 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 3: and differ, and I take it and I either go 102 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 3: fix what they're telling me that I need to fix 103 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 3: or work on, or you got people that's all the way, 104 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 3: ting Tiffany no matter what hashtag, I stay with tiff 105 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 3: all am I saying that. So I love that because 106 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 3: my base is my base, just like everybody out in 107 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 3: the world have a base. No matter what people say, 108 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 3: people support them. 109 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 2: And you're from Dalton, Illinois, born and raised there, tell 110 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 2: me something about the town because I've never been there. 111 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: I know it's outside of Chicago, but tell me, if 112 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 2: you had to describe where you're from, what it's like. 113 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 3: Sure, So back in the day, it was a small 114 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 3: suburb that everybody wanted to go to because we had 115 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 3: every single restaurant you can name was on Sibly and 116 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 3: now it's just turned into an area where it needed 117 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 3: a little love because it was always ran and it 118 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 3: was always corrupt, and that's why people don't know how 119 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 3: to come out of the corruption. For our village. I'm 120 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 3: fighting against corruption now. That's why I'm being slender in 121 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 3: the media because people want to have a way with 122 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,679 Speaker 3: me and they cannot and will not. So my town 123 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: is still comprised of majority black. In the past, it 124 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 3: was majority white. When we moved there, I had friends 125 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 3: like Heather and Susan. And also when we moved there, 126 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 3: we had green carpet flower wallpaper because it was majority white. 127 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 3: So it's just transitioning. 128 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: Green carpet of floral wallpaper. 129 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,679 Speaker 3: It was that was just like an older definition of white. 130 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 3: But it was just an older crowd. It was just 131 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 3: an older crowd, and it was more lax than what 132 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 3: I mean by lax meaning you go there when you're 133 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 3: like retiring. It's more how Dalton was that what that 134 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 3: type of subburb, but it is not now. 135 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 2: Okay, So what are some things that you feel like 136 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 2: you need that you've been bringing to the city, Like 137 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: you said, you've been doing a lot of different initiative, 138 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: boots on the ground. So what are some things that 139 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 2: are necessary in Dulton? 140 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 3: So right now again, we gotta put love back anny 141 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 3: and get a hold odd youth. That's what's missing right now. 142 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: People don't raise the community and we need the village 143 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 3: to be raising our kids again. That's how it was. 144 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 3: Like I said when I came in town. Your neighbors 145 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 3: will watch you get you off the bus, you will 146 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 3: eat dinner with them till your parents come home. Things 147 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 3: like that. That's missing And that's all I'm trying to 148 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 3: do is bring those roots back to my community, which 149 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 3: I love, because I wasn't being this if I didn't love. 150 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 3: You gotta love where you come from. And you got 151 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 3: to start at home before you start outreaching to other 152 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 3: communities and trying to build them. 153 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: So when do you think? 154 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 2: Okay, So we talked about the news and when they 155 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 2: started attacking you. But all right, I want to talk 156 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 2: about some of these stories that we see in the news, 157 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 2: and I want you to be able to speak to 158 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 2: them so that people can know because I've even seen 159 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 2: these stories, you know, here in New York. So all right, 160 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 2: so let's talk about it. There was a person who 161 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: said that he didn't contribute to your campaign and therefore 162 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: he was not able to get his license for his business. 163 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: His business has not been able to operate, so it's 164 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 2: basically equivalent to extortion from what he was saying, and 165 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 2: that other businesses haven't been able to get their licenses 166 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: because they didn't contribute to the campaign. 167 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 3: So that's false statement. And that's what I mean about 168 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 3: the news not doing any research. They just let people 169 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 3: get on the news and talk. And I'm gonna say 170 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 3: this and then I'm gonna go further into your question. 171 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 3: Malcolm X's once said the media has the power to 172 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 3: make a guilty person look innocent and an innocent person 173 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 3: look guilty. That's their power. So that's why I'm sitting 174 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 3: here telling my story today because that's exactly what they're 175 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 3: doing to me. So with that being said, they put 176 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 3: people like that in front of the cameras, went and 177 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 3: didn't do no fact checking. If people want to know 178 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 3: the truth, I'm gonna do it on my podcast Tiffany 179 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 3: hear It on the Move on Spotify, Yes, Macay, and 180 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 3: I'm going to tell and show the facts and the 181 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 3: proof of whatever a business owner did not do as 182 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 3: relates to their business, if they're not up to code, 183 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 3: if they had a ton of shootings their establishments, which 184 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 3: a lot of them had these type of issues, but 185 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 3: no one put that out there. But I am now 186 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 3: and I'm not the one to never like try to 187 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 3: drag or talk about a business because you should handle 188 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 3: it behind closed doors, meaning your bastiness before people put 189 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 3: it in the in the spotlight. And now you're being attacked. 190 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: Right, Okay, So you're saying that this person's business was 191 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 2: rightfully not able to get his license until he cleared 192 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 2: up whatever it is that he needs to clear up. 193 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 3: Correct. We have a documentation of all of that, and 194 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 3: I can give it to you too. In that way 195 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 3: you could follow up and show them, yeah. 196 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: You're right, because we all got to do our research. 197 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 2: Now, you were on with Roland Martin and that interview 198 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 2: aired yesterday and he was talking about your nonprofit you 199 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 2: have a charity. Well you said, you don't have a charity, 200 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 2: but there's a charity. It has your name on it, right, 201 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: it's what is it, Tiffany hay in our Cares Tifney 202 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 2: and you care Tiffany hen your Cares And so he says, 203 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 2: you know, it looked like it was your charity. There 204 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 2: was a video of you promoting this charity, but you're 205 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 2: saying it's not your somebody's using your name. 206 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 3: That's correct, Okay. So just to clear it up when 207 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 3: I say it is not my charity, I'm a board 208 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 3: member on the charity. I can't tell you what they 209 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 3: do with their day to day. What I'm responsible for 210 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 3: is my mayorship and my supervisor position. And it's amazing 211 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 3: how people are pinpointing on a charity when it's so 212 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 3: much stuff going on with me as it relates to 213 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 3: the two areas that I actually do govern. I do 214 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 3: support the individuals that has the charity. I am always 215 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 3: an advocate for cancer because my mom had cancer. I feel 216 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 3: they are good willed people as it relates to what 217 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 3: they was trying to do or trying to accomplish. And 218 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 3: I think people make mistakes. People didn't file paperwork and 219 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 3: they blew it up into a story like everybody else 220 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 3: don't file paperwork. I give you prime example if you 221 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 3: have an LLC or something like that and you don't file, 222 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 3: and you go check in our check and see if 223 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 3: you registered, and it gonna say not in good standing 224 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 3: until you pay the seventy five dollars or one fifty 225 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 3: whatever it is, then it puts you in good standing. 226 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 3: It's the same concept. It's just that people are missing 227 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 3: the point of it. And I get that people really 228 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 3: really meant to help people hurt people. 229 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 2: Right, running a nonprofit, we know a lot of times 230 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 2: there are always issues with that, but they need to 231 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: be able to account, like where the money was going. 232 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 2: But like you said, that's not your nonprofit. That is 233 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 2: somebody else's. But your name is not on that. They 234 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: just used your name, I guess as a way to 235 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 2: garner attention. 236 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 3: Correct, Just what's your way up? So somebody go use 237 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 3: that today? Does that mean you got anything to do? 238 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: Non profit? 239 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 2: I would be like, hold on, that's like I would 240 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 2: not want that, but way up. Anybody could use that, 241 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 2: But if it was like my personal name on it, 242 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 2: I probably would not. I would not want somebody unless 243 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 2: I was involved in it and they came to me, 244 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 2: because you would feel like that's my name, because you 245 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: do know, if something goes wrong, that's your name. 246 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 3: And I agree, And it's a learning curve. And that's 247 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 3: what I try to tell people. I'm not perfect. No 248 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 3: one's perfect. So when you find out mistakes or things happen. 249 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 3: You go and you try to fix it, but people 250 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 3: got to be giving you the chance to fix it, 251 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 3: and I just beat you up so much. 252 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: Right, It's just a lot of these things are in 253 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: the headlines. 254 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 2: That's why I'm asking because I want you to discuss 255 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 2: it head on firsthand. 256 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: All right. 257 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 2: Then there was a situation where it was a city 258 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 2: council meeting and people said they were not allowed to 259 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: come up and voice their opinions in this meeting. They 260 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 2: were blocked downstairs from being able to ask questions. 261 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 3: Well, that's not true as it relates to being blocked. 262 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 3: If somebody was blocked or felt it was blocked, they 263 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 3: can always reach out to us because our meetings are 264 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 3: like four or five hours long. So I don't know 265 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 3: who's blocked in my village. Okay, you know, come to comment. 266 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 3: You can go pull our board means up and you 267 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 3: can see that everybody's allowed to speak because it's before 268 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,599 Speaker 3: it's before we start our board meeting. Okay, public comic. 269 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: All right? Good? 270 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 2: And then, and I trust me as a media person, 271 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: I know that sometimes things are inaccurate, and I know 272 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 2: that when there's a story being painted as somebody. 273 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: You do have to go to the source and do some. 274 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 2: Research, which I don't like clickbait, so I always encourage 275 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 2: people to make sure you read the full story before 276 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 2: you do that. All Right, The next thing people did 277 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 2: talk about was finances, right, and they said, oh, she's 278 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 2: traveling first class thing at the four seasons, blowing this 279 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 2: money and that money. Now the company, the town used 280 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 2: to be have a surplus of money, but now there's 281 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 2: a deficit. But then I also see on the paperwreak 282 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 2: that I have from your team that you guys have 283 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 2: gotten the largest in the history of the city with 284 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 2: fifty million dollars in grants from people. And despite the 285 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 2: adversity and the resilience, you know, your commitment is undeniable 286 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 2: and you have all these initiatives that you've done. So 287 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 2: let's talk about the disparity between those two stories. 288 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 3: Okay, So one thing about me is I won't stop. 289 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 3: I don't sleep. I'm gonna keep going while they talking 290 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 3: about me, I'm still working. So when I'm still working, 291 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 3: I still managed to get money to come to our communities. 292 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 3: It was awarded fifteen million dollars. I had the largest 293 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 3: in the history for township and then the largest in 294 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 3: the history for the village of thoughts, so more than 295 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 3: any mirror, more than any supervisor throughout all the controversy. 296 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 3: So if a person was that bad, people want to 297 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 3: keep on supporting them because, no matter what, this is 298 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 3: all about helping the people. And that's where I think 299 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 3: we're losing focus. When they do the store, they don't 300 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 3: talk about what I've done, nothing positive, And I say, hey, guys, 301 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 3: how can a person be so bad and then do 302 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 3: not one good thing? Not one good thing? And any 303 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 3: story they write about me, every story they right, is negative. 304 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 3: And I don't know nobody that could just deal with 305 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 3: all negative stuff all day long with none positive in 306 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 3: their brain. I just I just can't get with it. 307 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 3: And that's why you see me just constantly push through 308 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 3: it because I told them before, we're gonna go through it, 309 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 3: but we gotta grow through it at the same time. 310 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 3: And that's kind of what I've been doing. And I'm 311 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 3: just glad that you was able to mention some of 312 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 3: the things that we actually created. Can I can I 313 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 3: go a little other way? Okay? Okay? Platform now, so 314 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 3: we did a and I'm sorry, I'm a little horse. 315 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 3: We built a outdoor skating rink and roller rink. Ice skating. Yeah, 316 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 3: ice skating and roller rink. So in the summer they 317 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 3: can roller skate. We had the JB skaters out there, 318 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 3: and then the winter they can ice skate. But what 319 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 3: I love about that concept is now we're giving people 320 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 3: the opportunity to go to the Olympics be who they 321 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 3: want to be, to practice in our own backyards. In 322 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 3: the black, black and brown communities, we normally have to 323 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 3: go to a different community in order to engage or 324 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 3: get practice or have swimming lessons, things like that. My 325 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 3: job is to create things for our community so that 326 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 3: they can grow into what they want to be. Another 327 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 3: thing that I do love about what I've done is 328 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 3: now the youth are following Tiffany Hey. The youth know 329 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 3: who a Marrias. The youth know who's a supervisor. They 330 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 3: did not know that before. No one could point out, Oh, 331 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 3: that's the mayor of Dalton. Oh she does this. Oh 332 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 3: she came to our school and spoke to us doing 333 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 3: Black history Mond. Oh she helped us with mental health. 334 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 3: We do a mental health tour. That something really big 335 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 3: that's going on nationwide, but no one's really talking about 336 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 3: it on bigger platforms. Yeah, they go get the celebrities 337 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 3: here and there, and people might give a little something 338 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 3: about it, but it's happening everywhere. So when we went 339 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 3: in there in the schools and we did the mental 340 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 3: health tours, we was able to help kids and parents 341 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 3: identify that they needed help and give them help. That's 342 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 3: what I do. But they don't tell the heart of 343 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 3: Tiffany here. They want to tell the smoking mirrors and 344 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 3: a clickbait. No matter what people do, if they write 345 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 3: about me, I'm gold and I get it. I get 346 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 3: why everybody doing it. They make money off of clicks. 347 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 3: And I didn't know that. I'm learning social media a 348 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 3: little further, but I didn't know that that's how big 349 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 3: you has gotten. 350 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: How is this handled? How are you handling this? 351 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 2: Since we just talked about mental health and you discuss 352 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 2: how important that is. But for you being in the 353 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 2: position that you're in, and like you said, this is 354 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 2: the first time a black woman has had this position, 355 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 2: the youngest person in this position. You're still trying to 356 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 2: do your day to day job, but yet there's a 357 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 2: lot of articles that are disparaging towards you. 358 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: How does that How do you deal with that? How 359 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: do you cope with that? 360 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 3: So basically I have tunnel vision to the mess. I 361 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 3: just keep going ignoring it, almost like a horse in 362 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 3: a race and they had a blindness on so they 363 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 3: can't look left and right. That's Tiffany, he I just 364 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 3: focus on my goal. My goal is to make sure 365 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 3: I uplift the village of Dalton and the other sixteen 366 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 3: mincipalities that I'm over. I'm over one hundred and ninety 367 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 3: thousand people. I have to make sure I plant the 368 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 3: seed now so that the kids can follow. I have 369 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 3: to set the tone as relates to the footprints or 370 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 3: they gonna walk in my footprints. And they all know 371 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 3: what to do. And I want them to see what 372 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 3: controversy look like, adversity looks like, and how I'm gonna 373 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 3: come out of it in the end and show them 374 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 3: that no matter what you do, never never ever give up, 375 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 3: because you're gonna always have somebody that don't like you, 376 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 3: upset with a decision you made. But the point is 377 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 3: you made a decision. That's life. You have to make 378 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 3: decision and you have to give your testimony. And that's 379 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 3: what the test is. Right now, this is my test 380 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 3: and at the end of the day, I'm gonna be 381 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 3: able to tell you my testimony a year later, two 382 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 3: years later. It's just like the giants before us. Yat 383 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 3: Martin Luther King, he had a dream, but I am 384 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 3: the dream. And this is what I'm trying to show America, 385 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 3: that you gotta have hope and you have to prevail 386 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 3: no matter what people say about you. 387 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 2: It's interesting because even though a lot of the attention 388 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 2: that they're giving you in the media is negative, it 389 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 2: is bringing a lot of attention to your township and 390 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 2: also for a lot of people to say, oh, that's 391 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 2: the mayor. Yes, you know, a young black woman is 392 00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: the mayor of and also the supervisor of the township. 393 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 2: So that is something that hopefully is going to be 394 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 2: on the flip side of there's something positive. When did 395 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 2: you know you wanted to run for mayor? 396 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:13,719 Speaker 3: Well, after dealing and fighting with corruption and people that 397 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 3: was in the seat prior to me, I fought against it, 398 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 3: and the people believed enough in me that they came 399 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 3: out by eighty two percent and voted for the first female. 400 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 3: And people got it all twisted when they say, oh, 401 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 3: you just voted because she's black, Because she's a woman. No, 402 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 3: that's not true. I've always been boosts on the ground. 403 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 3: I've always helped people. That's what people now telling. 404 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 2: About, Like, that's the opposite. Usually people won't vote for 405 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 2: you because you black or a woman. So yeah, you know, 406 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 2: so I don't see how that is. But there are 407 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 2: other importances for people to be able to see you 408 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 2: right and be like I could one day also be 409 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 2: a mayor. 410 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 3: Yes, and see that. So I had someone come to 411 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 3: my board meeting. He bought his daughter. He wanted to 412 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 3: show her that women are leading now, which we are. 413 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 3: We are in politics. We are at the front and 414 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 3: not in the back. And that's what I appreciate about 415 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 3: residents that see through the smoke. They still appreciate me, 416 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 3: and they still want me to be a mentor to 417 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 3: their daughters, and I love it. 418 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 2: Now, there's also a federal investigation that's being called for, 419 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 2: So where are you with that? And did you know 420 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 2: about it like ahead of time? Because I know previously 421 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 2: I've seen you say I don't know anything about so investigated. 422 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 3: So basically there are no subpoenas at my office. And 423 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 3: also we don't know anything as it relates to what 424 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 3: people are just a legend or saying, but we don't 425 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 3: have any subpoenas, and from our understanding, it's no other 426 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 3: what are they call law enforcement that we know of, 427 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 3: have any investigations. 428 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 2: Okay, so this is something that's a news story, but 429 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 2: it hasn't hit you or if it's true or not. 430 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 2: If it is true, you don't know anything about it. 431 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 2: You haven't been subpoena or nothing. 432 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 3: Correct. 433 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 2: I also see in Illinois they're trying to keep Trump 434 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 2: off the ballot, right. I want to know what your 435 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 2: thoughts of about Donald Trump running for office again? 436 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 3: Oh wow, I don't have a leg in that race. 437 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 3: So I didn't know anything about that. I don't know 438 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 3: anything about Do you think he should be able to run, 439 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 3: he should be eligible to run for president? Or do 440 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 3: you think with all of the legal issues he has 441 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 3: and things that he's been found guilty of and convicted of, 442 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 3: that that shouldn't even be something that should be allowed. Well, 443 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 3: this is America. Everybody have the freedom to do what 444 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 3: they want. Look at what I'm going through. I can 445 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 3: only speak to me. Anybody got freedom of speech, right, 446 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 3: look at people just say whatever. 447 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 2: But I just think, like somebody who's been convicted of 448 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 2: so many things. There's so many jobs you can't have, 449 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I don't think president that 450 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 2: shouldn't be a job that somebody should be able to 451 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 2: even run for, especially with the things that he's been 452 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 2: convicted of. 453 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: I find it to be wild. 454 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 2: But I only ask you that because in Illinois, I 455 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 2: know that's been a hot topic also just recently. 456 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, when I have time to indulge anything else right now, 457 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 3: I've been focused on myself. 458 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 2: And yeah, how distracting is all of this for you, 459 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 2: based as you're trying to get your job done too. 460 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 3: At the same time, it just showed you that God 461 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 3: got his hands on me because he won't give you 462 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 3: more than what you can bear. Is just to make 463 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 3: me wiser, make me stronger, because you learn through controversy, 464 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 3: you learn what to do, what not to do. And 465 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 3: I feel that's what's going on right now. 466 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:11,479 Speaker 1: And you grew up. 467 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 2: There are there people that you're surprised, like, damn, we 468 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 2: grew up together. 469 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 1: I know you. 470 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. It's a lot of those because you 471 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 3: be shocked off of gossip. People really tend to believe gossip. 472 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 3: And that's said because that's a true statement. Of lack 473 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 3: of knowledge, our people will perish. That's true, and that's 474 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 3: kind of what's happening. So that's why you see me 475 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 3: going out telling my story, giving them facts, and I 476 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 3: tell them never judge a person, and you shouldn't judge, 477 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 3: but if you are to judge, at least get both sides, 478 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 3: because right now it's only a one side of narrative, 479 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 3: which is a negative narrative of Tiffany. 480 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 2: Is that why you decided you decided to do your 481 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 2: podcast so you could fight all of these allegations, but 482 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 2: also for people to get to know you. 483 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 3: Yes, it's basically to give them another perspective because right 484 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 3: now the news won't allow me to give my side. 485 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 3: We've reached out to several people and no one has 486 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 3: wanted to even interview me, and normal people want to 487 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 3: intervie the big fish. 488 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 2: I would think that if somebody's writing a story about you, 489 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 2: they would love to they or even reach out to 490 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 2: you for comment. 491 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: Like, yeah, they set out. 492 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 3: For coming some of them, but they don't always put 493 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 3: them out. Okay, on PR team, they give comment and 494 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 3: sometimes they cut half of the comment off of things 495 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 3: that we're trying to put out, and they put what 496 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 3: portion they want the public to know. And that's why 497 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 3: that Michael Mexi's statement is really true. Like it's they 498 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 3: are gearing and shifting people to what they want them 499 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 3: to believe or want them to know. Would you run 500 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 3: for office again? I am definitely am gonna run again 501 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 3: for both my seats. So that's why they're doing a 502 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 3: smear campaign because they cannot beat me. They cannot and 503 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 3: will not beat me. So I just want them to 504 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 3: know bring it, but they bring it in a different 505 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 3: way because they can't beat me. I do have the 506 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 3: hearts of the people. People do believe in me. I 507 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 3: am a big influencer, and that's why you see all 508 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 3: the smoke in the mirrors because they want to stop 509 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 3: what my voice he is and make them say don't 510 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 3: believe her because she this this and that with no truth, 511 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 3: no facts. 512 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: All right, now, explain this one to me too. Now. 513 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 2: I also saw another article about your salary was being 514 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 2: called into question, and then also something that you put 515 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 2: forth that the next person that is in office, if 516 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 2: it's not you, would be getting twenty five thousand dollars, 517 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: which is a lower salary than what you're getting now. 518 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 2: So talk to me about that and what that story like, 519 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 2: where did that come from? 520 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,719 Speaker 3: Okay, So for my salary, a lot of people don't 521 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 3: tell the truth. So I'm gonna set the record straint. 522 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 3: My salary was already there. It was from my predecessor. 523 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 3: He hid that salary, and all I did when I 524 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 3: got sworn in, I took over whatever salary he hit. 525 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 3: So no one said none thirty years ago. He hit 526 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 3: it for thirty years right, no one ever questioned that 527 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 3: he makes too much money. But today when a woman 528 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 3: take over, a young black woman, it's a problem. Why 529 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 3: is that? Why all the noise over what someone make 530 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 3: as long as they doing the work and they qualified 531 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 3: for the seat, Why do you have a problem what 532 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 3: they make. We all choose our career paths. It come 533 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 3: with different amounts. So myles came with that stifing, and 534 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 3: then the other amount was fifty thousand from my mayorship. 535 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 3: So I got two different positions. 536 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: Right, because the way they make it seem like you 537 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: make two hundred and. 538 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 3: It's two twenty four for supervisor and it's fifty four mayor. 539 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 3: But it's two different seats. But I didn't make the 540 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 3: salary up already, did there? So I just want to 541 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:16,719 Speaker 3: clear that up because people think that I came in 542 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 3: and made up a number. I did not. Now, as 543 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 3: it relates to the ordnance, I said this two on 544 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 3: his show. It's an ordinance that was already on the 545 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 3: books that no matter who would have ran against him. 546 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 3: He decided he would have went to fifty thousand dollars 547 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 3: no matter what. But no one researched it. Again. They 548 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 3: just ran a story and they put an ordnance up 549 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 3: because everybody was complaining that I make too much money. Okay, 550 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 3: cool went, We went pulled the orders because that's how 551 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 3: I found out about it, poured the orders, and then 552 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 3: we just cut it in half. We went from fifty 553 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 3: thousand to twenty five thousand. They a making it seem 554 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 3: that we went from two hundred to twenty four thousand 555 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 3: to twenty five thousand. That's not true. We went from 556 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 3: fifty thousand to twenty five thousand. That's it. And then 557 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 3: that's something else I'll give you. I'll give you the documents. 558 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 3: You could put it on your screen to show the public, 559 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 3: because again the media is misleading the people. And that's 560 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 3: what I have a problem with. 561 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 2: This feels like a documentary or something yeah, that's coming. 562 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: Oh, it is coming. 563 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I feel like just from me hearing you 564 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 2: talk about doing the podcast and then now all these 565 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 2: things that I haven't seen necessarily happen. And I want 566 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 2: to say, like, I know, Hill Harper is running for 567 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 2: office in Michigan right for Senate, but he's been going 568 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 2: through a lot, and he said he was very shocked 569 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 2: at happening you know in politics, like you hear about 570 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 2: it all the time, but until you experience it, you don't. 571 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: Know what it's like. 572 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 3: That's true. 573 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 2: You could have never anticipated any of these things happening. 574 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 3: I'm sure no, But I knew that politics had a 575 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 3: lot of corruption in it. But that's the issue when 576 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 3: you don't play their game, because it is the boys clubs. 577 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 3: No matter what people say, this is what happens. They 578 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 3: do smear campaigns on you, They try to put doubt 579 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,479 Speaker 3: in the people that support you, minds of your character. 580 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 3: It's character assassination, it's defamation of character. It's all above 581 00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 3: that is true. So that's why I always try to 582 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 3: go to talk to the kids because I want to 583 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 3: encourage them to still believe in public service, no matter 584 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 3: what it is. Believe in that because they might want 585 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 3: to run for office. Everybody don't have the credentials or 586 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 3: have the money to go to school to be a doctor, 587 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 3: a lawyer, anything like that. They can actually still help 588 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 3: the public by being a public service. But they can 589 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 3: start small park district, library board, school board and then 590 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 3: work their way up to a municipal seat or a 591 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 3: city seat. But just know that if you got the seat, 592 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 3: that screwty come with it. It's new levels, new devils. 593 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 3: That's what's happening right now. 594 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 2: And you also, you have a daughter, right I do, 595 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 2: four year old, and so what do you tell her 596 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 2: about what's going on. I know she's really young to 597 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 2: really understand all of it, but are there times that 598 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 2: you have to explain things. 599 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 3: Like, yeah, well, one thing I said about my baby, 600 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 3: Justice is she's a beacon of light and she uplifts me. 601 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 3: She say the darnest things at the right time. She 602 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 3: has a personality out of this world and she all 603 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 3: tell me, Mommy, never never have a give up, keep going, 604 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 3: I don't care. She just said that to us yesterday 605 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 3: and it was just kind of weird. I'm like, Justice, 606 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 3: if they're just shocking, because kids, they go off your 607 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 3: energy and they know what to say. 608 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 2: So all right, well good, I'm glad you came up here, because, 609 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 2: like I said, I've been reading a lot of these 610 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 2: things in the news, so I might have had a 611 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 2: different perception. But I also wanted to make sure that 612 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 2: you had a chance to come up and clear up anything, 613 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 2: because I also know how tough it can be as 614 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,719 Speaker 2: far as what the news is saying. And then when 615 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 2: I saw these emails that you were getting and these voicemails, 616 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 2: I think, you know, people don't understand. They'll act like 617 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 2: things are good, there's no more racism, and we're on 618 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 2: a level plane field. 619 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: Pull yourself up by your bootstraps. 620 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 2: And when you see stuff like this, you see how 621 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 2: alive and thriving racism really is. 622 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 3: It is. It's still here, and it hurts because you 623 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 3: won't think we will be going through this because it's 624 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 3: twenty first century. We're going through the same thing that 625 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 3: our ancestors went through. And it's said to see it 626 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 3: in the twenty first century because you would think it's 627 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 3: all over. So what I want people to know a 628 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 3: take from this interview is that hey, you need to 629 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,719 Speaker 3: get on board and help defend right. Don't sit here 630 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 3: and let people just get dragged because oh, it ain't 631 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 3: my fight, it ain't your fight today, but it may 632 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 3: be your fight tomorrow or in a year, or your 633 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 3: kids fight. So that's why you're supposed to stop it 634 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 3: now before it gets down ten years later. And now 635 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 3: you could have prevented what now your kid might go 636 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 3: through because they might want to be a public service 637 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 3: or might want to be a radio host or be anything. 638 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 3: But you don't want them to have to go through 639 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 3: them same burials. And that's what my goal is. To 640 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 3: knock down a lot of things. Like you said, the 641 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 3: person that's run of office. People don't know until you 642 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 3: sit on this side of the fence. A lot of 643 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 3: people will not withhel the storm like me because people 644 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 3: not pelt for this, people would have been broke, been crumbled, 645 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 3: They metal would have been gone, all type of things. 646 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 3: So a lot of people, especially women, give me a 647 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 3: lot of strength by saying I commend you on your 648 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 3: fight against this, because I would have been quick. That's 649 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,439 Speaker 3: what a lot of people say. So I say I 650 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 3: just smile and say, hey, God didn't bring me this way. 651 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 3: It's far to leave me. So I'm gona keep going 652 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 3: and I just stay prayed up. I keep him first, 653 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 3: and he's been ordering my steps. And I love the 654 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,719 Speaker 3: fact that he gave me this opportunity because without him, 655 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 3: I would out have this opportunity to have two big 656 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 3: seats and be a trend satter and be a trail blazer. 657 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 3: So I love that. 658 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 2: I have to ask, what do you do to take 659 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 2: care of yourself?
