1 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: So Hurricane Melissa is making landfall in Jamaica now now 2 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five mile an hour winds. I've 3 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: heard them on the news saying it's like a buzzsaw 4 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: and that this is the worst storm in the world 5 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: this year or something like that. I saw some like 6 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: crazy data yesterday. My team, which has been all over 7 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: the world for disaster relief, but particularly in the Caribbean, 8 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: particularly in Puerto Rico for Maria, and in the Bahamas 9 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: and Hurricane Dorian and Florida disasters in North Carolina, and like, 10 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: we have a lot of experience with storms in the 11 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: South and in the Caribbean, and this is horrendous. And 12 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: my partner messaged me and said, like, this is going 13 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: to be very serious, and we are positioning ourselves and 14 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: this is exactly what we do. We have a giant 15 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: warehouse in Miami filled with aid. Be Strong. When I 16 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: say we, I mean be strong. Do you want to 17 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: get a story about be Strong? I don't think you 18 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: know the story because people ask about it and I 19 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: haven't really told the whole story here. So years ago 20 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: I was doing I had a charity and it was 21 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: called Be Strong, and it was to help women under 22 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: Dress for Success, so like ten to fifteen women at 23 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 1: a time and help them to get jobs and inspire 24 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: them and get them on their feed. And it was great, 25 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: but it was slow moving, and I wanted to do 26 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: something that felt more drastic. I'm not saying that it's 27 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: not critical helping mothers and people who used to be 28 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: incarcerated or addicts, et cetera. I mean there are many 29 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: charities that are important. And when I chose Dress for Success, 30 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: I had Skinny Girl, the cocktail brand, and I wasn't 31 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: allowed to align with any charity that had anything to 32 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: do with children because of the alcohol concept. So basically 33 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: I was watching TV. It was Hurricane Katrina, and I 34 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: was extremely impacted and moved, and I didn't have any 35 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: real money or influence, but I just was like wait, 36 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: and I remember George Clooney was involved in that, and 37 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: I was thinking. 38 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 2: How could I be involved in that? 39 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 1: How could I help like their babies on medical lines? 40 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: And it just was like so so incredibly tragic, and 41 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: there wasn't really anything I could do. I wanted a 42 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: way that money could be donated directly in and we 43 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 1: had been we had taken donations in the past for 44 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: Dress for Success, but like I said, it was very 45 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: slow and low, and so they weren't prepared for, like me, 46 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: to drive money to be donated in because that's not 47 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: how they do it. They don't deal in like volume, 48 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: like money's flying in and they're just taking it. And 49 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: I never knew the difference between charity one to the next. 50 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: I have such an education. I could literally speak at 51 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: Harvard on this. I'm speaking at Harvard on something else, 52 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: but I could speak at Harvard on this, because most 53 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: people just think charity is charity. But like Dress for Success, 54 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: admittedly it was like, we are not equipped for this, 55 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: like they're equipped for money gets donated. They decide how 56 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: to allocate it over the course of time in an 57 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: organized manner. And good for them for being responsible to 58 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: say that, because I've seen many charities. I've seen many 59 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: celebrities go public and post a link and take in 60 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: money and then have nowhere to distribute it. You can't 61 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: just like take in millions of dollars or hundreds of 62 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: thousands of dollars and like just dump it on some 63 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: other charity. What if that charity doesn't have a means 64 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: to distribute it. 65 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: It's no different. 66 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: It's no different than like dumping a bunch of fucking 67 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: drugs on somebody who doesn't have a means to distribute it, 68 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: or laundering money, although this is legal, meaning like not 69 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: everyone can distribute hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars, 70 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: And there were people that did it in the fires 71 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: in Australia, like trying to dump money on a small 72 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: fire station. It's like, what the fuck are we gonna 73 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: do twenty million dollars? Like you're giving people a problem 74 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: and it happens with AID two. I'll explain that later. 75 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: So basically I was like just jamming a fucking turkey 76 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: down dressed with success is throat and they were like whoa. 77 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: So for the one Harvey they indulged me in like 78 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: I was begging people to donate rain boots and they 79 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: said no. By the way, I remember I called Hoveyanas 80 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: they wouldn't give rainboots. I called Casper they wouldn't give mattresses. 81 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: Now I could get five thousand mattresses in my driveway. 82 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: It's like because now I have influence, but back then 83 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: I had nothing. And one of the biggest donations we got, 84 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: which kind of helped put us on the map was 85 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: from Tinsley. She and her boyfriend Scott I think donated 86 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,119 Speaker 1: like ten thousand dollars, which was like very meaningful because 87 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: I kept increasing the tally and by the time I 88 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: got all the aid and the money and all the things, 89 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: the tally got to like three hundred thousand dollars in 90 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: kind and in money. And I went to Texas and 91 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: I went to Dress for Success and I flew on 92 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 1: my team and we distributed aid and I remember it 93 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: was cash cards and bras and all these things, and 94 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: Dress for Success was like, people really want a gift card. 95 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,679 Speaker 1: They know exactly what they want. And it never left 96 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: me the dignity of them knowing what they want versus 97 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: like me assigning what I think they want. And this 98 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: would come to pass later. It wasn't easy to just 99 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: give out credit card cash cards, like there has to 100 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: be a relationship to a bank, and each one has 101 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: to have a number and the number has to allocate, 102 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: but the person who gets it, there's an intention to it. 103 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 1: So I parked that and remembered that when they said that, 104 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: and then I wanted to do something else because I 105 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: thought I had done it. And I remember because I 106 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: had done that. Someone called me and I went in 107 00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: a helicopter to Mexico City. But it wasn't really Mexico City. 108 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: It was a town called Huhutla outside of Mexico City 109 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: where there had been a terrible earthquake. People were still 110 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: buried alive underneath the rubble. And so I went into 111 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: Mexico City and I met with this team that was 112 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: going to help me. They had offered to sort of 113 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: facilitate this for me, and then we tried to bring 114 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: in cash cards and it was a little more rogue 115 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: into these Mexican towns. And after us, they shut the 116 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: towns down because we found out that the two political parties, 117 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: very corrupt we had heard, were trying to take We're 118 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: seizing everyone's aid and going into those towns and distributing 119 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: it themselves. 120 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 2: So it looked like they gave it. 121 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: They didn't want any other people coming in to distribute 122 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: aid in those towns. 123 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 2: So that was an education. 124 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: Then the Super Bowl came, then Hurricane Maria came, and 125 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: I thought I had some experience because I had done 126 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: these two things, and all I wanted was a plane. 127 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 2: I was like, I need a plane to take it 128 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 2: in there. And fill it with aid. 129 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: More naivete as naive is thinking I could just jam 130 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: donations down dress a success's throat. 131 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 2: So in this. 132 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: Case, I kept messaging all the rich people I know, 133 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: you know when in one with a plane, can I 134 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: use your plane? I was a nobody, I had no 135 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: street credit this so I said, okay, I'm going to 136 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: charter a plane. So I remember, I think it was 137 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: like thirty thousand dollars or something, calling up some of 138 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: these cargo plane companies are chartered playing companies don't remember, 139 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: and saying I'm chartering a plane and paying for it. 140 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: And then it was like, what am I filling it with? 141 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: So I thought we were going to go to Costco 142 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: as I've done before, and fill the plane with Costco aid. 143 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: In the meantime, this woman, Jennifer Bell, who always thanks 144 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: me for mentioning her, I was speaking to her and 145 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: asked her, because she's wealthy, if she knew of any 146 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: more of the plane. And she said, I know this 147 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: girl who's working with this guy Michael, and he has 148 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: this initiative or he has a charity global empowerment mission. 149 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if she told me that. I know 150 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: it now so we start talking. He says, we will 151 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: help you fill the plane with egg. Can we go 152 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: on the mission with you? I don't realize that he's 153 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: run sixty missions to Haiti, but he's bootstrapping it. 154 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 2: He has no influence. 155 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: He's known because he used to build big expensive houses 156 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: in real estate, and before that he was in the 157 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: nightclub business and he used to hang out with like 158 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: Ingrid Cassaris and Madonna. But I was on TV no 159 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: one gives a shit in another arena, like you have 160 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: to get your own legs and street cred. So I was, 161 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: you know, marginally famous at that point. I mean I 162 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: was known, but it wasn't like what it is now. 163 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 1: But he picked me up at the airport and he 164 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: was super excited. We had met years ago, and he 165 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: was a hot shot back then. I remember like he 166 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: thought he was handsome and like he barely even acknowledged me, 167 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: but he was. 168 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 2: He came in hot. 169 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: I got off the plane and he was like assigning 170 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: my life to me. He was like, Okay, so we 171 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: need to do this thing and you could be like 172 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: on the board and you could run it and you 173 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: could whatever. Because you know, his charity was doing fine. 174 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: But every time he had to start fresh and raise 175 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: money as if he had never done it before. It's 176 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: very hard to raise money and even harder to distribute it. 177 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: But he had had experience because he had been in Haiti, 178 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: where like Sean Penn was in a tent for months, 179 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: and he had done the things, and he had dedicated 180 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: his life to philanthropy after having a life of debauchery 181 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: and nightclubs. And I won't go into much more detail. 182 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 2: He could do that. 183 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 1: So he's like jamming down my throat what it's gonna be. 184 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, bro, I have a young child, Like 185 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: I'm doing this one mission, Like this is not my life. 186 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: I'm not running this. I'm not your mask. Like he 187 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: was like, you'll run it, you'll tell us what. I 188 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: was like, WHOA. So we show up at his warehouse 189 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: and there's nothing in it. It's like a small fine 190 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: warehouse with nothing in it. It's totally disorganized. It's like 191 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: a hodgepodge. And I will forever say this guy, Michael, 192 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: and I I have never met a person who can 193 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: keep up with me, who can execute what I want 194 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: but still be authoritative in his own way and what 195 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: he knows, but also defer to me on what I know, 196 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: and he has never said no to me. He's like 197 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: the relief were a husband of a lifetime because I 198 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: walked in that warehouse and I've met no experience in 199 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: relief for two missions. And I go in there and 200 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, listen to me, Listen to me, forgetting me, 201 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: forgetting me get involved. I'm like, listen, this needs to 202 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: get organized, like this place has to be organized like 203 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: I would envision in a place like this. And by 204 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: the way, he had no way no means no money, 205 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: no street cred, no no. Yes he had contacts, but 206 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: not like to be like on a loop donating millions 207 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: of dollars of aid like we do now. So it 208 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: was the perfect combination. It literally was the perfect combination. 209 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: So it was like someone every famous who's broke marrying 210 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: someone who really wants to be in the limelight, but 211 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: as a ton of money, like a real good combination. 212 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: So I walk in this warehouse and I'm like, listen, 213 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 1: this needs to be merchandise. This needs to feel like 214 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: a costco. This seeds to feel like an assembly line. 215 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: You need to create like crisis kits that you're gonna 216 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: box up. So it's easy or not. And I learned 217 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: this along the way. This was like sort of something 218 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: I said because I just envisioned it like how it 219 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: would go, Like it would be like here's where dogs 220 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: food is, here's where cleaning supplies. But there was nothing 221 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: in this warehouse. Really, we like figured out how to 222 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: get stuff at Costco and fill the warehouse. And sometimes 223 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: it's cheaper to go to the place you're going to, 224 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 1: like when we went to Guatemala and buy the aid, 225 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: because sometimes you're not gonna spend all the money for 226 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: trucking and stuff like that. But nevertheless, I was like, 227 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: we need you. Theoretically, if I ever worked with you, 228 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: you have to get this organized. Like I'm the most 229 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,199 Speaker 1: organized person. I can't even stand in here with this 230 00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: not being more merchandized. So also, we get the plane 231 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: and we're going there. I will tell you fifty three 232 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: planes later in and out of Puerto Rico. Never one 233 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: time did someone ask us for a driver's license or 234 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: a passport. We were taking people in and out of 235 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: Puerto Rico. Thank god, we were doing nothing unto ward 236 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: and thank god it was all like injured and people 237 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: who like needed to be back with their families an 238 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: in dire situation and a relative who's got a medical situation, 239 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: and we were bringing in aid and dedicated missions. We 240 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: brought in two celebrities for their missions, and we were 241 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: bringing and just everything else, the habbad, the Bible Belt 242 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: like everything, and then we were bringing out, you know, 243 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: desperate people. And the reason for the planes and not 244 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: the cargo ships was there was a thing called the 245 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: Jones Act where you couldn't bring boats into that harbor 246 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 1: during this time. So the planes were what we had 247 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: to do. And during that time, Ellen donated a plane, 248 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: Steve Harvey donated a plane, someone donated three planes. I 249 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: don't know if it was Ellen or Steve Harvey. I 250 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: don't remember Elvis Duran like I was like Oprah with planes, 251 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: Like people were just donating plans. I was fucking on fire. 252 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: We did I think what was like fifteen million dollars 253 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: in In addition, people around the country were raising aid. Because 254 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: everybody jumps up and is like, oh my god, I'm 255 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: posting a link, and people those random links of things 256 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 1: they don't even know, and they don't really understand who's 257 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: running it. Just because the celebrity posts a link does 258 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: not mean they have any clue what that link means, 259 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: and they don't even really know how the person who's 260 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: running it is. 261 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,359 Speaker 2: I saw celebrities during. 262 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: The beginning of Ukraine get together to raise money, and 263 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: then we looked into who the money was going to, 264 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: and these people have no experience in disaster relief, but 265 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: they're a list people, so people are going to just 266 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: go with them. And it's like no, and we were 267 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: nobody's from a brand perspective, so we couldn't really say anything. 268 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 2: In my partner'd be like, what the fuck. 269 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: So anyway, we started doing these missions and then later 270 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 1: we ended up doing cargo ships. But during this whole trip, 271 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: I we first started and we were like days. It 272 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: was right after Rump went there and the paper towel incident, 273 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 1: and we were after that. People were still waiting on 274 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: their roof like desperate, rationing water for help, like it 275 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: was a disaster. And we went to the state building 276 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 1: and everyone was in khakis and like and like clipboards 277 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: because I thought we were gonna do things totally like 278 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: ask for permission in the beginning. We became real like 279 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: red tape cutters after that because and now we have 280 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: all the relationships with all the governments. But but back 281 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: then we were totally rogue and we were trying to 282 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: ask them. 283 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 2: But I was like, what are these. 284 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: People doing with coffee and like khakis, Like is aren't 285 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: there people fucking dying here with no electricity or water? 286 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: So we just went out to the like communities not 287 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: that far from like where this air conditioning building was, 288 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: and we were on the street with these trucks toilet paper, formula, everything, 289 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: and people were waiting onlines, like begging for it. And 290 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: I was like, these people need dignity, Like how did 291 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: we This may not be the formula they want, like 292 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: the diaper size they want, like there's humans. 293 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 2: So that was how I was like, no, these cash cards, we. 294 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: Will have to give out basic aid, but it should 295 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: be rationed off by households so people could have the 296 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: dignity to have their own box for their house, take 297 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: it home, and like distribute it as they need with 298 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: things they'd want, like chargers and blankets and water and 299 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: hydration and things they would need. But like, we're going 300 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: to have to come up with a cash card program 301 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: so once once they're back on their feet, they can 302 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: infuse money into their community. Get exactly what they need 303 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: and keep the money right there and have some dignity also, 304 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: So it started a model. Anyway, the number of missions 305 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: is I could not even count. I can't even remember. 306 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: And the amount of money I think is close to 307 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: half a billion dollars. And now you know, I bring 308 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: it up to people to donate, they want to know 309 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: how to donate, and most of the money has come 310 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: from you, and the awareness has come from you. But yes, 311 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: now billionaires just call us and say, what are you doing? 312 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 2: Here's a check. 313 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: And I used to be on the plane going to 314 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: Guatemala sitting and coach leaving Britt and crying about that 315 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: because she was younger.
