If you look at the case 77 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: right now with the Corrello Anthony that's going on in Frisco. 78 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 5: Texas, not the basketball player, the right Texas As All. 79 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I. 80 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 3: Built my first two houses in Frisco, Texas being nine 81 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 3: thirteen Blazing Star Road to Hunt one for one Old 82 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 3: Promenade Road. So I'm very familiar with Frisco, very familiar 83 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 3: with what he's up again shut out to do you 84 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 3: know the case? I know a little bit about it. 85 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 3: I just got briefed on it yesterday. Dominique Alexander, the 86 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 3: Next Generation Action Network, he's doing the activism. He just 87 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 3: gave me an award in January for Voice of the People, 88 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 3: and so now I'm kind of getting involved within the 89 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 3: last twenty four hours. But I know that the issues 90 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 3: that he's going to be faced with, and so this 91 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 3: is why again we need criminal defense. What Attorney Crump 92 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 3: does is important. We need more civil rights attorneys. But 93 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 3: I think I can be a beast at that defense table. 94 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: I think so too. Yeah, well, we got a lot 95 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 2: to talk about it, a lot to discuss. 96 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 4: Where do you want to go? You got your laptop? 97 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 3: You know, Well, no, I came to talk to you 98 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 3: guys about push the line. I've talked to you about 99 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,239 Speaker 3: it many many times. My training program politics until something happens. 100 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 3: It's a non partisan of political training. We did it 101 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two. You remember at three hundred people 102 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 3: that came from all over the country in Atlanta. They 103 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 3: came from La Jersey, Houston, Dallas. I was overwhelmed to 104 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 3: see how many people came in. They sat with me 105 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 3: for twelve hours in the rain, waiting in the rain 106 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 3: at seven am. And so people have asked, Haslam bring 107 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 3: the program online, and so I finally got it online. 108 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 3: It's a five course program. I'm the trainer, I save 109 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 3: masters and education. Not to stunt because you know, I'm 110 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 3: the hood whisper, but it's important that you know that 111 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 3: because I actually built the curriculum. And so there's a 112 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 3: lot of folks that build courses but may not know, 113 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 3: you know, the technicalities of building a curriculum, having objectives 114 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 3: and meeting those. So I've built the curriculum myself, and 115 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 3: so now it's virtually online. I'm happy to go through the. 116 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: Let's do it say so. 117 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 3: Of course, one is called we are Soldiers, and what 118 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 3: that is is is talking about the roads and responsibilities 119 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 3: for candidates, campaign workers, organizers, and activists. 120 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: So this training is even if you. 121 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 3: Are a black conservative, I want you to know, come 122 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 3: on in, if you are liberal, if you are progressive, 123 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 3: if you are democratics, nonpartist, and I'm not pushing any agenda. 124 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 3: I'm teaching you the basic fundamentals that you need. I've 125 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 3: been a candidate myself. I've worked on campaign campaigns, state, local, federal. 126 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 3: I was the only black person on the ground in 127 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 3: twenty fifteen to flip Michigan for Bernie Sanders. I have 128 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 3: been an activist obviously still am, and an organizer. So 129 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 3: this training really brings all those things together and giving 130 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 3: you information that the other trainings won't do. I've probably 131 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 3: been to every major training Congression of Black Cautus Book, 132 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 3: White House Project, Go Run Lead. Yale Law School for Women, 133 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 3: they have a training. I have not found one that 134 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 3: really breaks it down. One tells you the truth on 135 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 3: what you're really gonna have to do to run, and 136 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 3: so I just decided to create it myself. That first 137 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 3: course is critically important. Now you can unroll now teslamfairgul 138 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 3: dot com. There's course curriculum in there now for you 139 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 3: to study there'll be a live interactive class with me 140 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 3: on June fourteenth. If you miss it, it'll still be 141 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 3: available for replay. So that's the good thing about it. 142 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 3: But a lot of people don't understand roads and responsibilities 143 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 3: and the difference between those two. And I'll just kind 144 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 3: of give an example of you and I talk about 145 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 3: it all the time, the difference between candidates and activists. 146 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 3: One of the reasons why you see a lot of 147 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 3: candidates crashing out is because they're trying to be an 148 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 3: activist and a candidate and an organizer and all these 149 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 3: different things, and people don't really know the difference. And 150 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 3: I blame the candidates for setting them up for that expectation. 151 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 3: So to give you an example that we talk about 152 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 3: it a lot. An elected official actually serves the constituents. 153 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 3: So you'll hear a lot of people online, why is 154 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 3: such and such black candidate talking about immigration? 155 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: Why are they talking about this? 156 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 3: Why they're not talking about black folks? Well they are, 157 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 3: but you got to understand that candidate in Congress is 158 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,119 Speaker 3: representing two hundred thousand people, one hundred and fifty thousand people, 159 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: and that job literally says to advocate for your constituents. 160 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: So they have to take care of everybody. So that's 161 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: why people's pissed. 162 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 3: When they said, oh, vpare said, I'm not going to 163 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 3: only do stuff with black people. 164 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: I feel it. 165 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 3: I understand what they meant, But what she was basically 166 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 3: trying to say is you have to represent everybody, which 167 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 3: is why would not be a good candidate. It's really 168 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 3: important that you know where you fit. I wouldn't be 169 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 3: a good candidate unless I'm in South Fulton, which is Atlanta. 170 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 3: Outside of Atlanta, Georgia ninety eight percent black city commissioner. 171 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: So I can talk about black issues. 172 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 3: But if you're in Congress, run a president, you're talking 173 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 3: about everybody. That's literally a part of their job and 174 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 3: people have to be o. K was saying, that's not 175 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 3: a good fit for me. An activist, and this is 176 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 3: where people get confused, and activists is the one that 177 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 3: is pushing the candidate, that is saying, hey, what about me? 178 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: What about me? 179 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 3: So, if that's reparations activists, immigration activists, healthcare activists, your 180 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 3: job is to literally put pressure on the elected official. 181 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 3: The elected official has to sit around and say, Okay, 182 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 3: I got to take care a little bit of this. 183 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: This is this squeaky oil, what they say squeaky or 184 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: what's up? So your job is to push. 185 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 3: However, because candidates, and this is where I criticize them, 186 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 3: candidates elected officials don't work with activists the way that 187 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 3: they should because you want to be at all, you 188 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 3: want to be the candidate, You want to be the activist, 189 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 3: you want to be the organizer. 190 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 4: Are they scared to work with the activist because they 191 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 4: think they'll get backlass right? 192 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 3: Or they want to be on this microphone. You have 193 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 3: over four hundred people in Congress. How many do you 194 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 3: see on the microphone? 195 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: A handful? 196 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 3: So you have your Jasmine Crocketts, you have like, yeah, 197 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 3: so you have. But technically they're the elected official. Technically 198 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 3: they shouldn't have to be on the microphone being the 199 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 3: activist because what happens. 200 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: Is what you see. And we had a big old 201 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: group chat about this. 202 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 3: What happens is if Jasmine Crockett is talking about all 203 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 3: the different things immigration, I tell people lay off on 204 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 3: being upset with her talking about immigration. She's in Texas, 205 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 3: she must talk about immigration. 206 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 1: So you have black people lying, oh, why is she 207 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: talking about immigration? 208 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 3: Because she represents people you know in Texas So when 209 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 3: you have her having to be the activists because there's 210 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 3: not leadership in the Democrat Party that's loud, or there's 211 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 3: not activists on the ground that are loud enough, or 212 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 3: they're not coordinating with those activists. And when I say coordinate, 213 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 3: I mean give them money so that they can crash 214 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 3: out on your behalf. Then now you have a candidate's 215 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 3: trying to do it all. So what happens when she 216 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 3: runs for office? When I looked at her Ballipedia, I 217 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 3: think it was one hundred something thousand that voted in 218 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 3: a general election. 219 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: I look at that and I. 220 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 3: See fifty thousand people in the primary that can move 221 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 3: you out your seat. That's what happened to Representative Bowman, 222 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 3: Jamal Bowman. When you are being the activist and he's 223 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 3: talking about Godza, Godsa, Godza, Gaza, Gaza, and damn near 224 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 3: half of your district is Orthodox Jews, they actually have 225 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 3: the power to put you in and put you out. 226 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 3: Not the podcast, not the national media. So when you're 227 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 3: not coordinating with your activists, say hey, go run this play, 228 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 3: run this offense, and let me do this, and you 229 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 3: do that. That's how you see a lot of the 230 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 3: issues and you set up false expectations for the elected official, 231 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 3: and then the organizer is very different than the activists. 232 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 3: A lot of people think that's the same. It's not 233 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 3: the same. Perfect example, Rashida Taled in Detroit organized one 234 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 3: hundred thousand people to go to the polls. So most 235 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 3: of the people you see online these podcasts are activists. 236 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: Hey, hey, reparation now. 237 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 3: Reparation that that's important, you know, healthcare now, healthcare now. 238 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 3: But organizing, it's actually getting people in the room. Like 239 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 3: we did at the town hall of weeks ago. I 240 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 3: had in Atlanta, one hundred and fifty people standing outside 241 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 3: in the ring. 242 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: That's organizing. Screaming and yelling is one thing. 243 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 3: But getting one hundred thousand people to go to the 244 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 3: polls to say we are voting no commitment, that is 245 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 3: actually organizing, which is why Tamika always says. 246 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: I'm an organizer first. 247 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 3: So when you understand these roles and responsibilities, now you 248 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 3: can know your role, which is pushed the line. My 249 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 3: logo has a person pushing the P, the U, the S, 250 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 3: the H. Everybody like at this table has a role. 251 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 3: If you know your role and then we know how 252 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 3: to work together. Now we can move forward on an agenda. 253 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: I have a question. 254 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 6: Yeah with politics today though, Like when I look at 255 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 6: like Trump, I feel like he you know, he doesn't 256 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 6: stay within any lines or anything things that you just said. 257 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 6: Do you feel like there's is changed now because he's 258 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 6: changed the way that politicians moving what they say and 259 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 6: what they stand for. Like he he pushes whatever he 260 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 6: wants to spec and he's successful at it. So how 261 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 6: do you kind of counter what he's doing and kind 262 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 6: of making where the people that you're raising up on 263 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 6: either side are just as strong voice wise? Is what 264 00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 6: we see him do. 265 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not about really countering it. 266 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 3: See, one of the one of the modules that I 267 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 3: have is is called it's not about weed, It's about me. 268 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 3: If you are already strategizing to be against somebody and 269 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 3: not doing your role like you always say, just stay consistent, 270 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 3: don't compete with anybody, do your role. Push the line 271 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 3: is not about trying to focus on Trump or focused 272 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 3: on what Republican parties are doing, because Trump never. 273 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: Focused on you. He never focused on the Democrat party. 274 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 3: So when people set that up to say, I know, 275 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 3: it felt good when they say, oh, Rock Obama, he's 276 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 3: everybody's president. Actually, you're really the president of the people 277 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 3: that vote you in. I know people don't want to 278 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 3: hear that, but it's really catering to who votes you, 279 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 3: who puts you in. That's just like my household. I'm 280 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 3: catering to my man, not catering to what your man say. 281 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 3: Who what somebody else man say. So Trump has done 282 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 3: and they hate it when I say this because they 283 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 3: say he don't. 284 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 6: He don't. 285 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: He didn't do a good job. 286 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 3: He's a liar. No, I'm not saying I like it. 287 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 3: I'm telling you how it is. It's a different between 288 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 3: how it is and how you want it to be. 289 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 3: He is only talking to his base, even though you know, 290 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 3: good day, well, he cannot dismantle the Department of Education 291 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 3: because Congress is going to have to do it. He 292 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 3: don't give them about that. He signed an executive varder 293 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 3: saying let's dismantle it. We beg for those things, you remember, 294 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 3: Charlotte Mane, Like, why don't y'all just doing executive vad 295 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 3: for the George Floyd Justice and Police and Act. But 296 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 3: everybody's so smart in the Democrat part. That's not how 297 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 3: it work. You gotta go through Congress. 298 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 2: You gotta go. 299 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 3: People want to know you at least fighting you, at 300 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 3: least in the ring. You willing to sock somebody in 301 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 3: the eye, You're willing to take you willing to fight 302 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 3: for my love. You know what they say every night, 303 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 3: I gotta fight for my love. 304 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 4: I think it's a combination of both though, because Donald Trump, 305 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 4: did you know, he did call them the woke left, 306 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 4: and he did say that the Democrats are the enemy 307 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 4: from within. But he didn't just run a campaign of 308 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 4: Democrats are bad, Democrats are bad, Democrats are bad. He 309 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 4: actually said these are the things I want to do 310 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 4: for my constituents as well. I think Democrats just run 311 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 4: a whole Trump is Bad campaign, but they don't ever 312 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 4: tell the constituents exactly what it is they want to do. 313 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 3: For right And they also don't teach constituents how to 314 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 3: do it. They're terrible with training, which is why started 315 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 3: this training program. Also, Trump is an organizer and an 316 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 3: activist and a candidate and a marketer and an entertainer. 317 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 3: He makes everything a spectacle, He makes everything a big deal. 318 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 3: He always knows how to play to the camera. All 319 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 3: of the things that the Democrats feel they too good 320 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 3: to do. And so I'm just gonna tell you like 321 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 3: straight o, oh no, don't do that. 322 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: That's not president. 323 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 3: He doesn't give a damn. And so when you he's 324 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 3: been campaigning for the last eight years, Yeah, he's campointing out. 325 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: We say that, he's literally campaigning. 326 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 3: When you have a rally every month, every other month, 327 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 3: that's actually organizing, getting people in the room. They pop 328 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 3: out crazy. So he's been doing that the whole time. 329 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 3: You it's hard to catch up with that. It's hard 330 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 3: to catch up when you've been talking. It's not a 331 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 3: matter of how many people you have. Conservatives are the 332 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 3: majority minority of this country. So it's not about who's 333 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,479 Speaker 3: the biggest, it's about. 334 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: Who's the strongest. 335 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 3: That's why I'd like to use la gang banging for 336 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 3: those who grew up in the night. The Bloods were 337 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 3: always the smallest, but they also were the most powerful. 338 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 3: How did Inglewood survive with crips all around it? 339 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: Why? 340 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 3: Because they knew how to push the line, which, by 341 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 3: the way, that's what blood say, push the line. 342 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: Crips say press the line. 343 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 3: So when you're able to take a small group, organize 344 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 3: consistent message, message message, conservatives have the best And again 345 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 3: don't come from me in a coma. I don't give that, 346 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 3: y'all coman in comments or not. They have the digital 347 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 3: discipline that you do not have on the left. You 348 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 3: do not have that on the left. Conservatives listen to 349 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 3: podcasts or what they listened to Am talk radio. We 350 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 3: talked about this before, all the way into work and 351 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 3: our commute, messaging, messaging, messaging. They go in their job, 352 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 3: they listen to a podcast. Seventy percent of podcast listeners 353 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 3: are white, which is why we were doing that black effect. 354 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 3: It's so important. So then they had work messaging, messaging, messing. 355 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: Bad, bad, bad, enemy, enemy, enemy and enemy. 356 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 3: Then they go home and they watch Fox News. Then 357 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 3: they get in the comments. I try to teach people 358 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 3: how to be the comment caucus talk about that too. 359 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 3: They stay on it like we stay on it with 360 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 3: Shade Room. They stay on it non stop. Look at 361 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 3: the interview that I did here with Vivid Rama Sami 362 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 3: is a perfect example. 363 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: Then people still commenting on that. I'llset them so much. 364 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: They are still coming on that. Do you know, I 365 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: don't know. 366 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 3: If you knew this, Joe Biden, you would say that's 367 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 3: probably one of the most popular interviews that you had, 368 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 3: you ain't black. 369 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: Go look at the comments under YouTube. Under YouTube, I. 370 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 3: Think the last time I checked it might have been 371 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 3: twenty thousand something comments under the vivid rama, same interview. 372 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 3: The last time I checked, fifty thousand comments, and Joe 373 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 3: Biden had millions of views. We only hear a couple 374 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 3: of hundred thousand. But look at the engagement then. People 375 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 3: was on my ass every day, angry masculin. They made 376 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty videos about me. They shut up 377 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 3: to y'all though, did they know how to message over 378 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 3: and over and over even if it's wrong, and so 379 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 3: you don't see that on the left, and so I 380 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 3: don't give them as left. All right, I want to 381 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 3: see more in our communities know how to mess the 382 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 3: same way y'all followed gossip the same way y'all followed it. 383 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 3: If we have that same type of organizing, which by 384 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 3: the way, is course to called the ambition of a rider. 385 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 3: It's talking about community coalition building, how to be the 386 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 3: common caucus, how to make sure you clicking, like, how 387 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 3: to get the engagement. You have to be very strategic 388 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 3: in this, and if you're not, we don't get anywhere. 389 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 2: So now I agree with that. I say, I agree 390 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 2: with that. 391 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 4: I also think that that's why when somebody, when you 392 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 4: see somebody scoring points, you just got to keep feeding 393 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 4: them the ball. Republicans did that with Trump once they 394 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 4: saw that Trump is the guy that the media gravitates towards, 395 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 4: and this is who people are listening to. That's the guy, 396 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 4: and I think Democrats don't do enough of that. If 397 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 4: it's AOC, give it the ball. If it's Javin Crockett, 398 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 4: give it a ball. If it's Bernie Sanders, give them 399 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 4: the ball. Those are the people that folks are gravitating towards. 400 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 4: Right now, you just had a rally. 401 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 2: In LA I think. 402 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 4: Thousand people. That's what I'm saying, Like, if that's the 403 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 4: people who folks are gravitating towards, that's who needs to 404 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 4: be getting the ball, right. 405 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 3: My criticism, well not criticism, I'll push you back with that. 406 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 3: What Bernie Sanders is because working on his campaign twenty fifteen, 407 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 3: they did great getting people to the rallies, but you 408 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 3: couldn't get them to the polls. So it's great to 409 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 3: stand up there and say, hey, y'all, this is bullshit, 410 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 3: But if you're not giving people the tools which again, 411 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 3: this is why this training is so important. If you're 412 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 3: just saying get involved in your community, a lot of 413 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 3: people literally don't know how. They literally need they step 414 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 3: by step guide. Democrats should be running a play. You 415 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 3: should see commercials just as much as they ran y'all 416 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 3: commercials every fifteen minuts. It should be who want to run, 417 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 3: who want to run, who want to run, who want 418 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 3: to work on a campaign? 419 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: Who want to work on a campaign? 420 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 3: Constant y'all raised one hundred million dollars in ninety days. 421 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 3: Where's one hundred million dollars to actually train people? Just 422 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 3: so we clear, nothing is back. People pay for the course, 423 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 3: but nothing is back in me. It's not a Republican, 424 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 3: it's not a Democrat, it's not any of that. Why 425 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 3: are they not using that money to train you how 426 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 3: to run for local office? You have mid terms next year, 427 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 3: then you need to train people how to actually work 428 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 3: on the campaign. There's a lack of infrastructure. One of 429 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 3: the reasons Rashida to leave was seven four or five 430 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,959 Speaker 3: six black people that ran against Sheida leaving Detroit. They 431 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 3: had to hire a friend of mine from Kansas City 432 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 3: to run the campaign because of the act of infrastructure 433 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 3: of knowing how to run a campaign, how to be 434 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,959 Speaker 3: a volunteer coordinator, how to be a campaign manager, how 435 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 3: to be a comms director. So they don't build up 436 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 3: the infrastructure, which means you don't have a bench. It's 437 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 3: not just getting a good candidate. You also need your organizers, 438 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 3: you need your campaign workers. And that's what my criticism 439 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 3: is of Bernie Sanders and anybody that's doing a rally. 440 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,719 Speaker 1: You're not training these people. You're getting them upset. 441 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 2: But for what I was gonna ask you. 442 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 5: You know a lot of times democrats get but hurt 443 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 5: a lot when you ask them, when you push back 444 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 5: on a lot of the things that they say, why 445 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 5: do you think that is? It almost feels like they 446 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 5: are upset when we question the things that we should 447 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 5: be able to question. 448 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of ego in politics, which is 449 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 3: one of the things again that we teach that I 450 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 3: teach you the thing to remove your ego out the way, 451 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 3: meaning not about me, not about way, it's about me. 452 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: They know it all. I'm just gonna be straight up 453 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: honest with you. They know it all. 454 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 3: They know it all, but seem to not know how 455 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 3: to win consistently. You have people who are highly educated 456 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 3: in what they do. Again, I'm not anti education. I 457 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 3: love degrees, the more the better, but they just refuse 458 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 3: many of them, not all, but refuse to really connect 459 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 3: to the concrete. I go by concrete roots, not mud, 460 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 3: because mud is too soften me. I got this shit 461 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 3: out the concrete, not a manager, not an agent. 462 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: Now, my family was in this. Now somebody put me on. 463 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 3: So they can't have those conversations, and they don't know. 464 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: How to give the play. Give a ball to the people. 465 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 3: They can have a conversation, but you know why, because 466 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 3: they want to be on microphone envy. It's just like 467 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 3: a rapper, like they have to be the one on 468 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 3: the microphone instead of saying, you know what, such and such, No, 469 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 3: how to talk to this group, Let me give them 470 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 3: the play. 471 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't want to see Hakeem Jeffreys. Yeah, I 472 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 4: want to see AOC. I want to see Jasmine. I 473 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 4: want to see those people. That's really the problem. 474 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 3: But then there's also people that they can't connect to 475 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 3: as well. Why are you not connecting to the streets 476 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 3: in California? Well, Governor Newson, who to me, don't have 477 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 3: a shot in hell on the national level, but still 478 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 3: very good pushing this message. I know, with some homies 479 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 3: right now and there later, it would organize. Right now, 480 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 3: who's never voted, who's never because of what he did 481 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 3: with the gang enhansment and what he's done with healthcare. 482 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 3: You hear a lot bad about California, but healthcare, what 483 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 3: do you. 484 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 4: Call the streets storreuse? I mean Bernie and Eils. He 485 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 4: did just have thirty six thousand people. 486 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: In that way. 487 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 3: But there's still a demographic people that are not involved 488 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 3: at all, people that don't give a damn about none 489 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 3: of this Bernie Sanders demographic. And I'm just gonna be honest, 490 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 3: the progressive demographic. The Rainbow Coalition is white liberals, pretty 491 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 3: much white progressives. There's still a lack of talking to 492 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 3: those that are completely given up, completely disenfranchised obviously. And 493 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 3: also a Coachella the average chicken was seven eight hundred dollars. 494 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 4: Well, no, that wasn't Coachella.

Yeah, he 496 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 4: came out to coach, but they had a whole other bit. 497 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: Working on that campaign. I'm just gonna be straight up 498 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: with you. 499 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 3: You know, I'm very clear about my position with Bernie Sanders. 500 00:21:52,280 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: He is talking to a very progressive white Wrean movement. 501 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 3: To me, now, even if your hispanic is still white adjacent, 502 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 3: it's still that's just as long as everybody, as long 503 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 3: as we get everybody who make money out the way, 504 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 3: as long as everybody make fifteen dollars an hour, all 505 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 3: will be well. He struggles with dealing with race. I'm 506 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 3: saying that as his former racial justice director. Also, everybody 507 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 3: ain't mad at rich people. Charlotte Maine like some people 508 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 3: really trying to get the bag. So those conversation, I 509 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 3: know what they mean with the elite the top. 510 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think the fighting oligarchy towards a 511 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 4: good message. But I think it's a hippo. Well, it's 512 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 4: not a hypocritical message from Bernie Sanders in AOC, but 513 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 4: from the majority of the Democratic Party is a hypocritical 514 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 4: message because they are all taking money from the billionaires 515 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 4: in the corporate life. 516 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: What hood don't know who the oligary is. 517 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 2: How do you say it? 518 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell you're talking about. 519 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 3: I mean, they don't you know, when the people talking 520 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 3: about neoliberal they don't know what you're talking about. So 521 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 3: there's different messages that people need to have to engage. 522 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 3: And I think the Democrat Party ten. 523 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: Is too big. It's too big. 524 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 3: It needs to be broken down. Everybody's not gonna relate 525 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 3: to Bernie Sanders. Everybody not gonna relate to AOC, Everybody 526 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 3: not gonna relate to jazzmon Crocket, everybod not gonna relate 527 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 3: to me. 528 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 4: So that's why everybody should be doing it. If everybody doesn't, little. 529 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: Nobody, that's right. 530 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 3: And again, local state, we gotta stop this fascination with 531 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 3: federal We really really do. All of your powers. Is 532 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 3: your city commissioner, your mayor. They are managing billion dollars, 533 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,719 Speaker 3: you know, budgets. Look at Atlanta, the Black Mecca. The 534 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 3: mayor get to decide who gonna get this grant, who's 535 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 3: gonna get this funding, How do we keep this program going, 536 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 3: how do we keep the after school program going? 537 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: Okay, if y'all don't want to do it, we're gonna 538 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: figure it out. It's the local. 539 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 6: I think it's because the local government, even though when 540 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 6: you when you get old enough to understand that the 541 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 6: local government is not like the glitten of glamour. 542 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: Isn't there right? They want the sex. 543 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 6: I feel like when Keisha Lan's Bottoms was mayor in Atlanta, 544 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 6: the bottom was mayor in Atlanta. 545 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: She did a good job of like you knew who 546 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: she was, even. 547 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 6: If you didn't live in Atlanta, like you you cared 548 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 6: about what she was doing, even if you didn't live there, 549 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 6: like she was a talking point. But a lot of 550 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 6: local government people don't do that, like you don't know, they. 551 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: Don't need to do it. It's called actually serving your constituents. See. 552 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 3: So again, this is where I go back to these politicians. 553 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 3: I appreciate what they're doing. Don't get me wrong, because 554 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 3: we need the voices because you don't see it. Damn 555 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 3: shure and not coming from the Democrat party. But Keisha 556 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 3: need to be worrying about Keisha's constituents all of this. 557 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: I'm trying to be a national spokesperson and all of that. 558 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: That's how you get. 559 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 3: You end up crashing out, That's how you get out 560 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 3: of office. That's how you get your constituents seeing you 561 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 3: at the grocery store, they're seeing you at church. They 562 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 3: don't care about you trying to be no voice for 563 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 3: everybody else. They're concerned with are you taking care of 564 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 3: these one hundred thousand people in your district or two 565 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 3: hundred thousand people in your district. It's not about you 566 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 3: can't get Keisha in and you can't get her out. 567 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: You have zero power. 568 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 3: So she can get on these podcasts mikes if they 569 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 3: want to, but at the end of the day, they 570 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 3: not vote. They don't vote for you, So either you 571 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 3: want to be an elected official or do you want 572 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 3: to be a podcaster. 573 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 4: I agree, but I think sometimes it's not your fault. 574 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 4: Like in Keisha's case, I don't think it was her fault. 575 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 4: She just happened to be a black woman who was 576 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 4: the mayor of Atlanta. So, like all the rappers were 577 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 4: talking about it, but what was the slogan on Atlanta 578 00:24:59,720 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 4: got a. 579 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, I'm definitely not blaming her. I'm just I'm 580 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 3: using that name for it. 581 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 6: To her because she's the only person. I just think 582 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 6: about it, like locally in Delaware, like you would know 583 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 6: because like you said, you see them, you hear them. 584 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 6: But outside of Brother's, Delaware, Philly, wherever, you don't just 585 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 6: know of these people. And I think a lot of 586 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 6: it is because even if they're not at the microphones. 587 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 6: I don't know. It's just local level is not glamorized that. 588 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 4: Sometimes Marion Barry, like you didn't. 589 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 3: But guess what, they could never get him out. I 590 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 3: encourage people to go watch The Ten Lives the Nine 591 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 3: Lives of Marion Barry. 592 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 1: Scandal or not. 593 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 3: They could not get him out. You know why they 594 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 3: could because he was doing the work. He was doing 595 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 3: the work. When you do the work, like shout out 596 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 3: to Eric Maids, my friend rest in peace, shout out 597 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 3: to y'all seen Eric Mays be CUsing people. 598 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: When you're doing the work, people will know about you. 599 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 3: But you couldnot get Eric Mays out of office for nothing, 600 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 3: because he took care of his district. This is a 601 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 3: district conversation. Even Congress, it's still a district. It's still 602 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 3: a local conversation. So when you get out on these 603 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 3: microphones and you're because I've seen it happen real time, 604 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 3: and you're trying to please all of these different different 605 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 3: constituents that can't vote for you because I want to 606 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 3: say what this what they want me to say? 607 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: I want to say what they want. 608 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 2: Me to say. 609 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 3: Okay, the people that's actually voting for you are the 610 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 3: ones that make the decision.

Now they're having a 700 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 3: partner with people they never thought about partner before because 701 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 3: you don't went up there and told in people that 702 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 3: you have motion.

The street 704 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 3: don't believe you anymore. You're talking to the same people 705 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 3: over and over and over. This is no disrespect. But 706 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 3: if the Urban League is hosting an event with none 707 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 3: but the Urban League people in the audience. 708 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: Those people are already voting. You're not talking to the. 709 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 3: People who are not voting. You have to bring in 710 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 3: new people. That's how we win elections. In Orlando, Commissioner 711 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 3: Regina Hill arrested twenty one times, ran against twenty one 712 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 3: year incumbent. 713 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: It was just three of us on the campaign. 714 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 3: We went and got three four thousand people that never 715 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 3: thought about being in the process. 716 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: And snuck them in and put them in a game. 717 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: That's how you win. They don't want to do that 718 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: in because they don't want to spend the money. They 719 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: think they know every damn thing. They want. They contracts. 720 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: I keep it real. They want they contracts.

But 728 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 3: a lot of this is I need to be able 729 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 3: to say I make it quite yes, he go, yeah, 730 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 3: what else? 731 00:30:58,520 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 4: What's the other one? 732 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 3: Okay, so to stand on business talking about that.
