0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>that's my brother when the purest hard working brothers. And

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 1>it was to shout out to be at slogo whatever

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>whatever Y'll be saying, y'all make up these words. So

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm dragging today. I'm tired so much and you haven't

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.959
<v Speaker 1>even been traveling as much as I have. This time

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>I went to the a k A Boulet, which, by

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>the way, I got my painting drink pinking drink, thinking right,

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 1>don't get them started. They love to say we parted,

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh you're with Boulet, you with the booge's and whatever.

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, the atk ain't gonna lie. It's

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>some boogie women up and there. We are certainly the

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty girls, and it is some boogie women in the

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>a case, But there's a lot of women within the

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>sorority that the very supportive of our work and they

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.639
<v Speaker 1>do their own work. And you know, I was thinking

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:14.440
<v Speaker 1>that every you know, we're so unfortunately like in this

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>we're in this situation where most of us want to

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:23.919
<v Speaker 1>see people really working on like the smoking gun issues. Right,

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 1>so somebody's getting shot and killed and this happened, and

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.239
<v Speaker 1>that happened, and you want to see folks really working

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 1>on those things because that's like at the heart of

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, what is harming our community and and it's

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 1>and it's very visible and it's very painful, it's traumatic,

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>and those things are important and certainly we work on that,

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, every day. But there's also a need to

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 1>keep our kids going to college if they want to

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.320
<v Speaker 1>go to college, right. There's also a need to make

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 1>sure people have good housing, clean food, people you know,

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>get medical their medical needs met, their mental health met,

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 1>that their voting rights are protected. And so I'm trying

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>to as I'm getting older, understand that there's so many

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 1>different roles that have to be played that it doesn't

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 1>mean that just because an entity is not like marching

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>with us, you know, and and out there, you know

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 1>whatever out there and and by the way, and by

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 1>the way, many a k AI's are many deltas, are

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>many zatas are I mean, we think about Natasha Williams,

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 1>a council you know, she's our councilwoman now and queens,

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 1>that's our little sister. She's a delta. She's in the street,

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, she's always out there engaged in um, you know,

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>fighting for justice. So I think people have the wrong impression,

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>and some of it is because of the sororities and

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>fraternities and some of the positions they take or don't

0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 1>take so some of it is certainly their fault. However,

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 1>when I'm really now that I'm inside and I'm getting

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 1>to meet more people, I'm actually learning like, oh wait

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>a minute, you're you know, you're a K I didn't

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>even know that, and it would be somebody like, for instance,

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.280
<v Speaker 1>attorney Lanita Baker. This is a woman who was the

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.719
<v Speaker 1>lawyer for Brianna Taylor's family. She also was in the

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 1>street with us when we lived in in Louisville. She

0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>she was our lawyer, our legal counsel, but she also

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>was a protester. She's an activist. She is a a

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.039
<v Speaker 1>lawyer who works on social justice cases. She's in a

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>k A. So I think we have to give people, um,

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, more and to go back to the original point,

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>which is what I was thinking about while I was

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:47.599
<v Speaker 1>on the plane leaving the a k A convention, that

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's so many when you look at all

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:55.840
<v Speaker 1>the work that's being done within the sorority, there's so

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>much happening that also helps our community. And it's something

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:05.359
<v Speaker 1>fortunate because we are so so so traumatized by the

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:09.040
<v Speaker 1>brutality that we don't realize all the time that some

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>of what keeps us going. It's our things that people

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.800
<v Speaker 1>are involved in that you may never hear about, you

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. So anyway, that was just my experience.

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Well it sounds like a good experience, you know. I

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 1>just think that everybody has a purpose, everybody has a role,

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, and we all do different things. And I

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 1>don't expect you know, everybody to do what I do,

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, being outside, being on the front line, you know,

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>being visible, being vocal, you know, standing up against certain

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 1>things publicly. It's not everybody's position, you know, And and

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.719
<v Speaker 1>we can't expect that. And I think, I think people's

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 1>expectations are just are not realistic all the time. So

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, shout out to all of you know,

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 1>fraternities and sororities who do what they do and different

0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 1>individuals who play different roles. Some spport the movement publicly,

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 1>some supported from behind the scenes, some supported financially, and

0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.280
<v Speaker 1>some just do their own thing. Everybody and some don't

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.280
<v Speaker 1>do ship exactly know what I'm saying. We can't, we can't,

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. Like I wish I think

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 1>that the fact that the a k As brought me in,

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:23.279
<v Speaker 1>which is kind of yes, there are, like you know, uh,

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 1>there are other civil rights leaders that are part of

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.719
<v Speaker 1>sororities and fraternities and all of that. So we're not

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.920
<v Speaker 1>saying that it's unheard of, but you know, with us,

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>we often looked at as like we're way too radical,

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 1>we you know whatever. And the fact that they brought

0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 1>me in, I think that's my role, right, Like I'm

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 1>not supposed to be then just just blend in with

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>everybody else and be quiet. But I have to bring

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 1>things like Brittany Grinder and you know, a Jalen Walk

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>of Brianna Taylor Tunisia Chappelle to the attention of the

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.480
<v Speaker 1>sorority so that they can find a way to take

0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 1>a position and get more involved, even if it is

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:07.240
<v Speaker 1>just raising money for bail funds and to give money

0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 1>to people on the ground who are doing grassroots work.

0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 1>So that's that's the role that is and and it

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 1>is and it is incumbent upon me to find other

0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>like minded individuals within the sorority and get them with

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.920
<v Speaker 1>me on the same page about helping to move the

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 1>sorority more into how they can be uh, you know,

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>a backbone if you will, for people who are out

0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 1>there on the ground. So that's that's that's what I

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.400
<v Speaker 1>sort of took away from. You know, as I was leaving,

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking, Wow, this is an incredible resource. We

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 1>have thirty six thousand members. Twelve thousand of them were

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 1>at the Boulet, which is a conference for people who

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>might not know what the Bulay is. Shoot. We to

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 1>be able to if we get a dollar from each

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 1>one of those organizations every month, I mean each one

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 1>of those individuals every month, that's a that can help

0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>fund some of the work that's going on out here.

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Definitely can so hint. But um, you know I was

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>while I was on the plane, I had I don't know,

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:15.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, I had so many plane rides um this time.

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>And I will say, because you know, we beat up

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>on the airlines when they're messing up, so we have

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 1>to say that Delta us they slowly but surely trying

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 1>to get it together. Because I took six flights in

0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 1>the last five days or four or four or four

0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:34.240
<v Speaker 1>or five days, I can't even remember, and not one

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>was delayed or nor was it. Um it wasn't delayed

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>or canceled, and my luggage made it on each connection.

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.199
<v Speaker 1>So it all went well, So that means that something

0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>is happening where they're trying to get better. They sent

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>out an email from Delta saying that they apologize to

0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>all their customers because they know that their ship has

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 1>been all over the place. But I was sitting there thinking,

0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:00.680
<v Speaker 1>and I should know this, but who the hell controls

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 1>the airlines? Like? Who isn't? Because guess what the plane

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 1>tickets though? Whall like the price of plane tickets. Those

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 1>six flights, one of them was paid for by another entity,

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.520
<v Speaker 1>but every other flight either we had to pay for

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 1>it as an organization or I paid for it personally.

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I know that it was in excess of five thousand

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.840
<v Speaker 1>dollars and I didn't even pay for I think one

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 1>flight I paid for first class. All the rest of

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.320
<v Speaker 1>them I paid for like comfort. And then of course,

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.680
<v Speaker 1>you know got an upgrade because of uh out your

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:41.280
<v Speaker 1>and mind. We both have diamond status, yo, bro, Like

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:43.319
<v Speaker 1>that's a lot of mine, and I'm trying to figure

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:47.480
<v Speaker 1>out who's in charge. Thirty thousand bags All right, We're

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:51.679
<v Speaker 1>in London, somewhere where people couldn't get their luggage. Our

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>friend Jennifer Williams ten days she couldn't get her luggage.

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Who is in charge? Like, who is the boss of

0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:02.959
<v Speaker 1>the airport work the airline? The boss is the boss man,

0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:07.199
<v Speaker 1>and it's making the man behind the scenes is making

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the money man. So they just make the decisions. That's it.

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.560
<v Speaker 1>He just decided. You never see him, you ever see

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it's I'm gonna get you suthing' is a

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.960
<v Speaker 1>is a movie where you know, they're talking about the

0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 1>man and they're all trying to see the man. He's

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.840
<v Speaker 1>just a white dude. And at the end, it's just

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.960
<v Speaker 1>a regular white dude and he just controlling everything. And

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 1>back in the days is to always say the man,

0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 1>the man is in control, is the man. That's who's

0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 1>controlling the airports. The man, the man got grip on

0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 1>the airlines. Buddy, I don't understand it. He can he

0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 1>get a pretty penny. Well, they say it's gas prices,

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>but yo, not like yo to go from New York

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:55.439
<v Speaker 1>to Kentucky the price of a ticket being a thousand

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 1>dollars in coach? What the hell? That's that's that's like,

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.120
<v Speaker 1>what are we talking about? And in our situation, this

0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>is why when people trying to say, oh, why are

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 1>we uh, you know, raising money, you got your cash

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.680
<v Speaker 1>app and you buy a which we never did talk

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.319
<v Speaker 1>about that, you know, when people were questioning you about

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 1>the cash app and the buyer. But oh, you know, uh,

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, y'all out here trying to get money for people,

0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.960
<v Speaker 1>for people in our organs. And that's just for mind you.

0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 1>We still have other members of our team, Jewels, Stephen Green,

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:34.319
<v Speaker 1>different individuals that also need to be in certain places

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:36.880
<v Speaker 1>with us for certain reasons. But if you just start

0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>with us four, that's four thousand dollars coach automatically, hotel,

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 1>get there. Depending on the whatever's going on, it might

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 1>have to be security and a driver. But in some

0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 1>situations we either rent a car or we uber but

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.240
<v Speaker 1>but a lot of times we can't do that just

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.160
<v Speaker 1>because of the nature of what it is that we're

0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>dealing with. How do people think that ten thousand dollars

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.840
<v Speaker 1>that's food everything? How do you get paid? I don't know,

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know anything, you know, osmosis. They think that,

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, falls out the sky, you know, and the

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.560
<v Speaker 1>work we do is just irrelevant. It's not worth it anything,

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't I stopped trying to figure out

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 1>what people think because the reality is when you're not

0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 1>involved in this work and you know this is not

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.960
<v Speaker 1>your purpose or your passion, your your vision and your

0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 1>view of it really doesn't matter, right because the families

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.560
<v Speaker 1>that we help that call us and need us to

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.560
<v Speaker 1>be there and be on call and be at these

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:40.239
<v Speaker 1>meetings and be at rallies and press conferences and just

0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 1>just holding their hand period. You know what I'm saying.

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 1>They don't. They're grateful. You know that they're they're very

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.360
<v Speaker 1>much grateful for us in the in the work that

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.480
<v Speaker 1>we put in, you know, and how we support them

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:55.240
<v Speaker 1>and uplift them and make sure that their family members

0:12:55.480 --> 0:13:00.200
<v Speaker 1>situations don't go unnoticed. So whatever that, whatever that comes with,

0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:04.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, the negativity of people who don't value us

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 1>or don't see what it is would come That's that's

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.200
<v Speaker 1>part of That's what it is man. They where I say,

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 1>they crucified Jesus Christ Man, that's it or what makes it?

0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.440
<v Speaker 1>So we're near Jesus so you know what they're gonna

0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 1>do that, So I'm all for it. So no stories. Um.

0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:26.320
<v Speaker 1>One that was super disturbing was the Brazilian doctor. They

0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.599
<v Speaker 1>don't kick you off the Instagram, damn there all the

0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.439
<v Speaker 1>way yeah, Instagram, Ye, I gotta talk to me about

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:35.400
<v Speaker 1>this because I don't understand. I've seen the video. You

0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.320
<v Speaker 1>showed me the video two days ago, and I didn't

0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.679
<v Speaker 1>post it up because I'm like, all right, But then

0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:42.960
<v Speaker 1>there was an edited version that was a deal usual

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 1>proc because I showed you the raw, uncut, uncutting footage,

0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.600
<v Speaker 1>somebody sent it to me and then when I see

0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 1>earthquake posted, the deal is on every blog site in

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.960
<v Speaker 1>the world, and they took it off my page and

0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 1>suspended my lives, you know, and so I don't know

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:04.880
<v Speaker 1>what it is for them to check what's going on. Yeah,

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.760
<v Speaker 1>something that's going on. It's not making sense because immediately

0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 1>because what happened is I put it up twice. The

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 1>first time I thought it didn't post because it's on

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.360
<v Speaker 1>the page and there wasn't no comments for like thirty minutes.

0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:17.199
<v Speaker 1>So I'm looking like this doesn't make sense. So I

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 1>took it down and then reposted it, and then I

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.360
<v Speaker 1>want my thing and it was like, oh this you know,

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 1>um New Nature sexual content and it's like there's no

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.880
<v Speaker 1>sexual content. You you you you infer based on the

0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>title what's going on? You could see him moving around,

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 1>but you don't see any woman. You don't see any genitalia,

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 1>you don't see anything, so you know, I don't know what.

0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.680
<v Speaker 1>But then you said the man should be castrated. But

0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 1>I said, in situations like this, I said, for a

0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:49.440
<v Speaker 1>frustration any man, my thing is this man when you willingly?

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 1>But do we even tell people what happened with the

0:14:53.840 --> 0:15:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Brazilian the Resilian doctor who was performing um Now he

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:05.880
<v Speaker 1>wasn't he was in then he was on the medical team. Oh,

0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:09.080
<v Speaker 1>he was on the medical team for a woman who

0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:14.840
<v Speaker 1>was beginning a C section. She was under anesthesia, and

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I think he was the anesthe geologist. Yeah he was, Yeah,

0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.400
<v Speaker 1>he was. He was. That's his job, his job because

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.240
<v Speaker 1>when people people are like, why is he on this

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 1>side of the sheet, he was there because he's supposed

0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:30.920
<v Speaker 1>to be monitoring the patient and making sure she doesn't

0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 1>wake up in the middle of i UM a C section.

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:39.160
<v Speaker 1>So what they had they said that prior there were

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:45.680
<v Speaker 1>other victims that have been getting too much anesthesia, and

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.920
<v Speaker 1>so they started to pay attention because they wanted to

0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.280
<v Speaker 1>see what was going on. And this is how they

0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:56.080
<v Speaker 1>called him on camera, actually putting his penis inside the

0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:59.440
<v Speaker 1>mouth of the woman while she was, you know, under

0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.000
<v Speaker 1>and he was doing all types of things with her,

0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.200
<v Speaker 1>and I think he actually even ejaculated and wiped her

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:10.280
<v Speaker 1>mouth off and all this. It was, you know, pretty disgusting.

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:12.880
<v Speaker 1>So I said to myself, any man who would do

0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:16.520
<v Speaker 1>some ship like that, I support castration, Like I really,

0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you deserve a penis at that point

0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:22.880
<v Speaker 1>certain ship that a man do, especially sexual crimes of

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:26.360
<v Speaker 1>that nature, and that that discussing that you violated women

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.760
<v Speaker 1>and that regard, then you you lose the privilege of

0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 1>your penis. Oh my god. That I mean. I'm not

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:36.440
<v Speaker 1>saying I don't disagree, but that's you. It's a different

0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:39.840
<v Speaker 1>country that you have to live in where that would

0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 1>be the answer. I think. I think if that was

0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:46.160
<v Speaker 1>the as, I think people would stop. I think I

0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.560
<v Speaker 1>think people would stop, forcibly in doing things like that

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:51.960
<v Speaker 1>rape of woman if they knew that at the end

0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 1>of it, it would whoa that deter you from certain things, right,

0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:05.480
<v Speaker 1>the rape and women and children. Because in certain countries,

0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:09.840
<v Speaker 1>right they give you the the medicine that stops your

0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.840
<v Speaker 1>you from even having the urge to have sex. So

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.040
<v Speaker 1>it's the same thing. Well, let me just tell you

0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.840
<v Speaker 1>this real quick in New York and across the country

0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:23.159
<v Speaker 1>has happened to people a number of times. Andrew Yane

0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:29.920
<v Speaker 1>he his wife said that a doctor m had done

0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the same thing to her. She felt like when she

0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:35.159
<v Speaker 1>woke up from UM, I think O B G y

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.840
<v Speaker 1>N appointment that you know, a visit, that she knew

0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:42.960
<v Speaker 1>that she that that um, she knew basically that the

0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.479
<v Speaker 1>doctor has sex with her. Right he numbed her some

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of way where she was laying there, couldn't do anything,

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:53.480
<v Speaker 1>couldn't move, but she felt it. Side thence the district

0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:57.719
<v Speaker 1>attorney in New York City, the most recent he's former

0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.560
<v Speaker 1>now that he was just a district attorney. This is

0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the same guy that after it came out that the

0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:12.680
<v Speaker 1>prosecutor for the Central Park five that she had been

0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:17.359
<v Speaker 1>involved in you know, in in in basically uh what

0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:22.080
<v Speaker 1>you call a prosecutorial prosecutorial misconduct. And we said that

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.359
<v Speaker 1>he needed to go back and open the books and

0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.400
<v Speaker 1>look through all of her cases or many of her

0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.639
<v Speaker 1>cases to see whether there were other people like the

0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:35.199
<v Speaker 1>Central Park five who were in prison for and and

0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:38.000
<v Speaker 1>they had and their and their cases had been tampered

0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:42.760
<v Speaker 1>with based upon her being um A criminal, a damned crook.

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.840
<v Speaker 1>As the prosecutor right, he didn't want to do that.

0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:51.600
<v Speaker 1>He also did not want to investigate and charge the

0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:57.560
<v Speaker 1>the doctor who Andrew Yang's wife accused. Didn't take long

0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:01.919
<v Speaker 1>before all of these women aim forward to say that

0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:05.199
<v Speaker 1>the same doctor did it to them. And then, of

0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:07.960
<v Speaker 1>course at that point he had no choice but to prosecute.

0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:13.160
<v Speaker 1>But he didn't believe Andrew Yane's wife. After after we

0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:16.680
<v Speaker 1>learn this, women from all over the country started coming

0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.280
<v Speaker 1>forward to say that the same thing is happening to them.

0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:22.800
<v Speaker 1>So can you imagine And of course this woman, she's

0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:25.680
<v Speaker 1>a darker skinned woman in Brazil, so looks like a

0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:31.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, a black Brazilian woman. Imagine what's happening to

0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:36.480
<v Speaker 1>black women. We already are not being properly treated when

0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:40.760
<v Speaker 1>we go to medical facilities. We're not getting things that

0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:45.200
<v Speaker 1>we need. We don't get the proper pain medicine. Imagine

0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:49.439
<v Speaker 1>if it's happening to all women, Imagine what's happening to

0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:53.320
<v Speaker 1>black women when they go to the doctor, or you

0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:55.800
<v Speaker 1>have to be under anesthesia and there's no one from

0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.480
<v Speaker 1>your family or anyone in there to watch what's going on.

0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:03.080
<v Speaker 1>It's probably so out of control that we would be, like,

0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:07.720
<v Speaker 1>be devastated if we knew the stats. Yeah, it probably is. Man,

0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:11.880
<v Speaker 1>It's it's disgusting, man, just hearing it, thinking it, trying

0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:14.720
<v Speaker 1>to figure out the mind state that comes with some

0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:18.560
<v Speaker 1>bullshit like that. Man, I'm praying for women. Um, you know,

0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:22.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping they catch all these sick individuals and you know,

0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:26.600
<v Speaker 1>and then punishing rooms. Yeah, at some point because this

0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:29.080
<v Speaker 1>is too much. It's you know, when you when you

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:34.080
<v Speaker 1>commit and permit them to put you on the anesthesia,

0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:37.440
<v Speaker 1>like you pretty much putting your life into somebody's hands.

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.080
<v Speaker 1>So what's to protect you? Right? Who's to be able

0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:42.760
<v Speaker 1>to say what happens to you while you're under innstegia.

0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:45.240
<v Speaker 1>So I think that's something that people should look into

0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:48.960
<v Speaker 1>after when you under anesthesia, there should be cameras in

0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:52.000
<v Speaker 1>the rooms where you're under innsthegia to make sure that

0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:55.520
<v Speaker 1>the doctors and whoever are doing what they're supposed to do.

0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:58.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's that's something that really needs to come

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:02.560
<v Speaker 1>out of this situation as like a policy, you know,

0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:07.880
<v Speaker 1>for real. Um okay, so styles P speaking of cameras

0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:11.960
<v Speaker 1>and that's your guy, Yeah, shut up. Yeah, I think

0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:14.600
<v Speaker 1>you know I spoke to his wife and she's like,

0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:18.600
<v Speaker 1>she didn't say much, but just like because that's scary

0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:22.840
<v Speaker 1>when you see your husband and the police having an encounter.

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:25.679
<v Speaker 1>And we know from watching the video the officer just

0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:27.840
<v Speaker 1>wished the camera wasn't there because he was holding his gun.

0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:31.240
<v Speaker 1>He wanted to he wanted to do something. He's smirking,

0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:35.600
<v Speaker 1>he wanted to do something. Tell people exactly what happened.

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.399
<v Speaker 1>Does anybody know what what was what the woman was

0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:41.159
<v Speaker 1>being arrested. Well, I I've seen I've actually seen the

0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:45.200
<v Speaker 1>full footage, right, and what happened was the young lady

0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:49.439
<v Speaker 1>was doing door dash and she was on a vehicle.

0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if she had the proper license for

0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:56.240
<v Speaker 1>the vehicle. She had the registration for the vehicle, so

0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:59.359
<v Speaker 1>they pulled the police walked up and seeing the vehicle

0:21:59.880 --> 0:22:05.680
<v Speaker 1>and did her need another Yeah, that's not vehicle. It's

0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:08.320
<v Speaker 1>like a little mopad or something like that. I don't

0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:11.159
<v Speaker 1>know exactly what it is. So um so her and

0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:14.520
<v Speaker 1>another young lady came outside and the officer asked for

0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:17.280
<v Speaker 1>her license, and I don't believe she actually had a license.

0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:20.920
<v Speaker 1>So what happened was she was like she was trying

0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:22.640
<v Speaker 1>to find a license office. It was like, well, she's

0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:24.600
<v Speaker 1>like what She's like, I'm just doing my job. I'm

0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:26.840
<v Speaker 1>just giving a delivery, this and that and this and that.

0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:29.040
<v Speaker 1>And she tried to take the bike and run on

0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:32.119
<v Speaker 1>the bike. It was like she grabbed the bike and

0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:34.040
<v Speaker 1>tried to push the but like you you're not gonna

0:22:34.119 --> 0:22:38.000
<v Speaker 1>run the phone on the bike. She could, Yeah, so

0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:40.520
<v Speaker 1>she ran with the bike. They ran right behind. I

0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:42.760
<v Speaker 1>said no, no, no, so she she throws the bike.

0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Please don't take my bike. You're taking my bike. So

0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:48.399
<v Speaker 1>what happened at that point the officer grabbed her to

0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:52.800
<v Speaker 1>arrest her, and he was very forceful, and he after

0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:55.520
<v Speaker 1>he already had her as two of them. He didn't

0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:57.600
<v Speaker 1>have to throw the woman to the ground, like you

0:22:57.600 --> 0:22:59.080
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. It was just it was very

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:01.800
<v Speaker 1>it was excessive wars and and and that's the Stylesie

0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:06.439
<v Speaker 1>styles watched them chase her and watch him pick literally

0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:09.040
<v Speaker 1>grab her my arm and just toss her to the ground.

0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:11.239
<v Speaker 1>And he was saying to himself, like, you didn't have

0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:13.760
<v Speaker 1>to do that, like you already had. It was no

0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:15.560
<v Speaker 1>need for you to throw no woman to the ground

0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:18.240
<v Speaker 1>like that, you know. And and that's where the altercation

0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 1>come and and it's it's it's you know, there are

0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:23.399
<v Speaker 1>people gonna say, oh, she should have never ran, and

0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:26.320
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't excessive for us. And I understand what you're saying,

0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:31.360
<v Speaker 1>but the reality to me is like the police and

0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:35.239
<v Speaker 1>the community have to we have to live in unison, right,

0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:37.560
<v Speaker 1>we have to be the police has to have the

0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:40.960
<v Speaker 1>respect of the community. Right. So when you're doing things

0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:43.439
<v Speaker 1>that are excessive for us, when you don't have to

0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 1>give you know, throw a woman to the ground, when

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:49.240
<v Speaker 1>you can grab a women's two of you officers and

0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:51.399
<v Speaker 1>you can literally grab her and just put cups on

0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:54.400
<v Speaker 1>us without throwing to the ground, Like why why isn't

0:23:54.440 --> 0:23:57.560
<v Speaker 1>that something that is taught. Why isn't that something that

0:23:57.600 --> 0:24:00.439
<v Speaker 1>you see to yourself to say, you know what? All right, understand,

0:24:00.480 --> 0:24:03.360
<v Speaker 1>this woman is scared, she's you know, she didn't want

0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:05.639
<v Speaker 1>to lose a vehicle, she didn't try to harm or

0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:08.080
<v Speaker 1>she didn't she's not of a threat to us. Why

0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:10.280
<v Speaker 1>do we need to throw her on her face to

0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:13.800
<v Speaker 1>the ground and put handcuffs? All right? So you know,

0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:16.320
<v Speaker 1>there are people on both sides and say, oh, you know,

0:24:16.440 --> 0:24:18.600
<v Speaker 1>she should have never ran, and this and that and

0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:21.199
<v Speaker 1>and for me, you know, I understand that you know,

0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:23.919
<v Speaker 1>she she violated the law, arrested. I just think that

0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:26.479
<v Speaker 1>we have to we have the way that we police

0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:31.840
<v Speaker 1>our communities, you know, is going to determine the respect

0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:35.000
<v Speaker 1>that the officers get, you know. And then what happens

0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 1>in those situations is us as men and styles did

0:24:37.920 --> 0:24:39.679
<v Speaker 1>what I would have did, you know, I would have

0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:41.480
<v Speaker 1>looked and said, yo, why would you throw that woman

0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:43.760
<v Speaker 1>to the ground like that was some real bit ship?

0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Like he said, you did some whole whole whole ship,

0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:48.199
<v Speaker 1>like you threw a woman to the ground, and you

0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:50.439
<v Speaker 1>already had that. You didn't have to do that, you know.

0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:53.120
<v Speaker 1>And at that point, and we and we constantly see

0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:56.760
<v Speaker 1>these things, you know, So at some point it is

0:24:56.840 --> 0:25:01.440
<v Speaker 1>the officer's job to repair there were relationship between community

0:25:01.440 --> 0:25:04.040
<v Speaker 1>and officer. It's not our job because we don't have

0:25:04.720 --> 0:25:08.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, most individuals from the community, we're not trained

0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:12.920
<v Speaker 1>in the escalation. We're not paid to do the escalation.

0:25:12.960 --> 0:25:15.400
<v Speaker 1>We're not paid to interact with other people. So you're

0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:18.240
<v Speaker 1>dealing with common people who have no training, who are

0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:21.399
<v Speaker 1>just dealing with emotions, who are angry. So, as the professional,

0:25:21.560 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 1>the person who was being paid the person who was

0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:27.240
<v Speaker 1>to protect and served. It is your job to create

0:25:27.320 --> 0:25:30.280
<v Speaker 1>the relationship that makes it easier for you to do

0:25:30.359 --> 0:25:34.520
<v Speaker 1>your job in your community, not harder. Yeah, well, I listen,

0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:38.880
<v Speaker 1>here's my opinion, and it's very brief. Two things can

0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:43.280
<v Speaker 1>be true. At the same time, she should not have ran.

0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:46.480
<v Speaker 1>She should probably should have had all the right licensing,

0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:49.439
<v Speaker 1>which is a whole conversation because we can do a

0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:54.320
<v Speaker 1>whole show about vendors who don't have licenses to sell

0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:56.359
<v Speaker 1>things on the street, but they're trying not to sell

0:25:56.480 --> 0:26:00.240
<v Speaker 1>drugs or hurt anybody. And by the way, just for

0:26:00.320 --> 0:26:06.000
<v Speaker 1>anybody who wants to know, the vendors licenses in New York,

0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:10.120
<v Speaker 1>basically the city has given them all out so in

0:26:10.280 --> 0:26:13.600
<v Speaker 1>order to get new vendors licenses, which there's a bunch

0:26:13.600 --> 0:26:17.119
<v Speaker 1>of people on a waiting list to get their license

0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:21.119
<v Speaker 1>to be a vendor, which is in essence entrepreneurship. People

0:26:21.160 --> 0:26:25.520
<v Speaker 1>selling hats, socks, the things that they are purchasing wholesale

0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:28.280
<v Speaker 1>and bringing it to the community and selling it, you know,

0:26:28.359 --> 0:26:31.720
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of things. Oils should that boone be wanting right?

0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Like things that you I've seen you say many times, Yo,

0:26:35.600 --> 0:26:38.399
<v Speaker 1>I gotta. I'm we were about to travel to wherever.

0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:39.920
<v Speaker 1>You're like, Yo, I need to get some T shirts.

0:26:40.000 --> 0:26:42.359
<v Speaker 1>Let me run down the block, you know what I'm saying,

0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:45.919
<v Speaker 1>and go see whoever. Your people are poppy that you know,

0:26:46.040 --> 0:26:50.720
<v Speaker 1>got white T shirts? Right. So, the vendors their licenses.

0:26:51.200 --> 0:26:53.520
<v Speaker 1>The city has given them all out, and the only

0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:57.359
<v Speaker 1>way to get new licenses is for there to be

0:26:57.520 --> 0:27:00.959
<v Speaker 1>legislation pass so it has to go through whole city

0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:05.680
<v Speaker 1>council process so that the licenses can get opened again

0:27:05.760 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to be able to distribute to vendors. So now you're

0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:11.520
<v Speaker 1>talking about something that could take to a whole Another

0:27:11.680 --> 0:27:14.720
<v Speaker 1>made a year or two to get finalized because it's

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:18.240
<v Speaker 1>not a priority. And meanwhile they're throwing vendors. You see

0:27:18.280 --> 0:27:21.000
<v Speaker 1>the women on the train selling their little whatever, the

0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:25.040
<v Speaker 1>little oranges and whatever it is the waters. They throwing

0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:28.800
<v Speaker 1>women in jail, knocking them down, taking their stuff, throwing

0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:31.760
<v Speaker 1>it out. All kinds of crazy shit happens. So we

0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:35.560
<v Speaker 1>could do a whole show just to talk about this

0:27:35.640 --> 0:27:39.040
<v Speaker 1>woman not having the proper license to do door dash.

0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there were many issues in terms of how

0:27:43.359 --> 0:27:45.800
<v Speaker 1>she could get that license and what it takes and

0:27:45.840 --> 0:27:50.399
<v Speaker 1>who's here to help her? Right were we already know?

0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:54.360
<v Speaker 1>We can imagine. Nonetheless, you need to have a license,

0:27:54.800 --> 0:27:57.600
<v Speaker 1>and if you do get stopped, you can't just go

0:27:57.760 --> 0:28:00.960
<v Speaker 1>running from the police. So we agree with at nobody's

0:28:00.960 --> 0:28:04.159
<v Speaker 1>gonna argue with that. But we can also say that

0:28:04.320 --> 0:28:08.440
<v Speaker 1>the way in which police officers deal with black bodies

0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:12.800
<v Speaker 1>is out of control because they do not I don't.

0:28:12.920 --> 0:28:17.520
<v Speaker 1>You could send me some videos nobody ever does. Where

0:28:17.600 --> 0:28:20.440
<v Speaker 1>do they take white women and take them and throw

0:28:20.520 --> 0:28:24.560
<v Speaker 1>them to the ground. Who's maybe out there? Oh, maybe

0:28:24.560 --> 0:28:26.400
<v Speaker 1>it's because a lot of white women are not doing

0:28:26.520 --> 0:28:29.280
<v Speaker 1>door dash, or maybe it's because many of them have

0:28:29.400 --> 0:28:32.720
<v Speaker 1>their license. Now that's a question of equity. Why is

0:28:32.800 --> 0:28:36.240
<v Speaker 1>that happening? So there's so many things baked in the

0:28:36.359 --> 0:28:39.640
<v Speaker 1>pie here that need to be you know that we

0:28:39.680 --> 0:28:42.480
<v Speaker 1>need to break down. And that means that when you

0:28:42.520 --> 0:28:45.040
<v Speaker 1>start being judgmental and say, well, she shouldn't have done

0:28:45.040 --> 0:28:47.120
<v Speaker 1>this and she shouldn't have done that, you also got

0:28:47.120 --> 0:28:49.760
<v Speaker 1>a question why the system even puts us in certain

0:28:49.800 --> 0:28:54.040
<v Speaker 1>situations where ultimately you're gonna be in contact with police.

0:28:54.400 --> 0:28:56.440
<v Speaker 1>So you know, I think I think you are a

0:28:56.560 --> 0:29:00.960
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent right that Style did the right thing to

0:29:01.120 --> 0:29:03.520
<v Speaker 1>step in and that because what he did do, because

0:29:03.560 --> 0:29:07.080
<v Speaker 1>remember there were two cops on him, so she was

0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:13.800
<v Speaker 1>experiencing even more physical aggression with two officers, and what

0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 1>he did do was took the attention of one officer

0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:20.320
<v Speaker 1>off of her. So that gave you know, gives a

0:29:20.360 --> 0:29:23.920
<v Speaker 1>little bit of ease. And he told her lighten up, says,

0:29:24.040 --> 0:29:26.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, don't tend to your body up so that

0:29:26.400 --> 0:29:28.200
<v Speaker 1>they can get arrest you and do what you need

0:29:28.240 --> 0:29:31.240
<v Speaker 1>to do. But he got one officer to focus on him,

0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:34.640
<v Speaker 1>and that officer now is no longer engaged in throwing

0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:37.520
<v Speaker 1>this woman around. So it's a lot to be unpacked

0:29:37.560 --> 0:29:41.960
<v Speaker 1>with that. But moving along, the supermarket in Buffalo has

0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:45.920
<v Speaker 1>reopened UM and you know, I got a lot of

0:29:46.360 --> 0:29:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I got a text message from a young man who

0:29:49.720 --> 0:29:53.520
<v Speaker 1>we had on the show, Jamil Cruise, who who deals

0:29:53.560 --> 0:29:55.640
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of people on Buffalo. You know, he's

0:29:55.760 --> 0:29:59.959
<v Speaker 1>he's a well known UM leader in the Buffalo area,

0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:04.680
<v Speaker 1>in that area, and he is you know, he basically said,

0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know how to feel about this. You know,

0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:11.200
<v Speaker 1>we need the supermarket in that community because his office

0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:14.920
<v Speaker 1>is two blocks away. We need a supermarket. But and

0:30:15.000 --> 0:30:18.560
<v Speaker 1>it's been renovated. But the but the idea of it,

0:30:18.720 --> 0:30:21.840
<v Speaker 1>like just going to the supermarket, it's got to be

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:25.120
<v Speaker 1>traumatizing for those people. It has to be when you

0:30:25.160 --> 0:30:28.880
<v Speaker 1>when you think about, you know, the last image that

0:30:28.920 --> 0:30:32.800
<v Speaker 1>we've seen inside of that supermarket, right, and then they

0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:35.720
<v Speaker 1>are family members who that's the last image that they've

0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:39.840
<v Speaker 1>seen some of their family members alive. Right. You know,

0:30:39.920 --> 0:30:43.600
<v Speaker 1>it's it's traumatizing. So you know, that community has a

0:30:43.600 --> 0:30:47.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of just work to do and just getting over that.

0:30:47.840 --> 0:30:52.560
<v Speaker 1>So to see that that can happen and then that

0:30:52.800 --> 0:30:56.000
<v Speaker 1>business goes right back to business a few months later,

0:30:56.600 --> 0:31:00.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's it. It says something, but they need

0:31:00.200 --> 0:31:05.080
<v Speaker 1>the super It says two things. It says that that

0:31:05.200 --> 0:31:09.200
<v Speaker 1>community is in such dire needs that they can't even

0:31:09.240 --> 0:31:14.600
<v Speaker 1>grieve properly, right, and then it also says that the

0:31:15.040 --> 0:31:18.719
<v Speaker 1>bodies who are actually lost in that community, you know,

0:31:18.840 --> 0:31:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the community because because that store or whatever that opportunity

0:31:22.600 --> 0:31:24.800
<v Speaker 1>they can open, they can pretty much probably say, you

0:31:24.840 --> 0:31:27.480
<v Speaker 1>know what, we're gonna build something the Crocer Street, you know,

0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:30.720
<v Speaker 1>because we've seen lots out there that weren't being used.

0:31:30.760 --> 0:31:32.320
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna, you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna

0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:34.920
<v Speaker 1>create something over here courts the street. But it also

0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:38.480
<v Speaker 1>says that you know those bodies. I don't. I don't

0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:45.600
<v Speaker 1>know if certain you know. Edifices and buildings like that

0:31:45.720 --> 0:31:51.080
<v Speaker 1>in the past have been opened as quickly after a

0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:56.560
<v Speaker 1>traumatic situation like this. The usually the schools they closed,

0:31:56.720 --> 0:31:59.160
<v Speaker 1>like they closed your Valdi and other schools. It was

0:31:59.200 --> 0:32:01.840
<v Speaker 1>all at the to the year anyway, But they've basically

0:32:01.840 --> 0:32:04.040
<v Speaker 1>closing down and some of them have been condemned. They're

0:32:04.080 --> 0:32:07.320
<v Speaker 1>not opening them anymore. I think they probably should have

0:32:07.400 --> 0:32:11.080
<v Speaker 1>torn the supermarket down, and like you said, they should

0:32:11.080 --> 0:32:14.280
<v Speaker 1>have built somewhere else, because I think just going like

0:32:14.520 --> 0:32:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't even walk to the front of the supermarket

0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:21.680
<v Speaker 1>when I was there and we were filming and whatnot.

0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't get my legs, just would not walk to

0:32:26.440 --> 0:32:28.680
<v Speaker 1>where those people like you know, you couldn't You can't

0:32:28.720 --> 0:32:31.360
<v Speaker 1>get exactly to where people were shot, but you could

0:32:31.360 --> 0:32:34.480
<v Speaker 1>get close enough, and I just couldn't do it. And

0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I think the other part that's traumatizing is like I've

0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:40.240
<v Speaker 1>been watching the news. Of course, we've watched the news

0:32:40.240 --> 0:32:43.760
<v Speaker 1>every day. I've watched the news all night. I watched

0:32:43.760 --> 0:32:46.200
<v Speaker 1>the news any all all the time. It's it's it's

0:32:46.240 --> 0:32:49.880
<v Speaker 1>the main thing that's on my TV phone. If I'm

0:32:49.880 --> 0:32:54.440
<v Speaker 1>on a plane, I'm watching CNN, MSNBC and Fox News. Right,

0:32:55.880 --> 0:32:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I ain't seen nothing about these people, the families in Buffalo.

0:32:59.320 --> 0:33:03.200
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's this didn't even happen. Don't hear nothing

0:33:03.200 --> 0:33:05.680
<v Speaker 1>about it. I was glad to see that the President

0:33:05.720 --> 0:33:11.240
<v Speaker 1>did have the oldest person killed in Ms. Whitfield killed

0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:16.120
<v Speaker 1>in Buffalo. He did have her, her son, Mr. Whitfield,

0:33:16.480 --> 0:33:21.240
<v Speaker 1>speak at the signing of the the Safer Communities at

0:33:21.320 --> 0:33:24.600
<v Speaker 1>and he and and Mr Whitfield talked about white supremacy.

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:27.440
<v Speaker 1>So that was a good thing. But I don't know,

0:33:27.640 --> 0:33:29.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's supermarket. It might be hard for me

0:33:29.920 --> 0:33:33.080
<v Speaker 1>to go there. It is. It's gonna be hard for

0:33:33.120 --> 0:33:34.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people to go there. So you know,

0:33:34.800 --> 0:33:37.720
<v Speaker 1>my prayers go out to the community, to the families,

0:33:38.280 --> 0:33:41.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, and hopefully you know there there's some level

0:33:41.920 --> 0:33:46.320
<v Speaker 1>of you know, ease slowly and tryma gets dealt with

0:33:47.080 --> 0:33:48.719
<v Speaker 1>and they're able to heal from it. And you know,

0:33:49.160 --> 0:33:52.000
<v Speaker 1>that brings us to what our guests is about. Right,

0:33:52.080 --> 0:33:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and when you look at all these things, this recession,

0:33:55.320 --> 0:33:58.480
<v Speaker 1>right when we talk about the door dash situation. We

0:33:58.560 --> 0:34:00.880
<v Speaker 1>talked about people trying to make some money and in

0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:03.920
<v Speaker 1>no situations, people frustrated. They all, you're trying to sell this.

0:34:04.080 --> 0:34:08.000
<v Speaker 1>You talk about the reason why this. We need to

0:34:08.040 --> 0:34:10.600
<v Speaker 1>get the supermarket back open. Right. People are dealing with

0:34:10.640 --> 0:34:14.320
<v Speaker 1>so much, so many financial issues, Like is there really

0:34:14.400 --> 0:34:18.279
<v Speaker 1>it's really a recession? You know, I'm going out and

0:34:18.320 --> 0:34:20.479
<v Speaker 1>when you and when you go out, it's not even

0:34:20.480 --> 0:34:22.680
<v Speaker 1>the same. More people ain't even going out. They're trying

0:34:22.680 --> 0:34:25.600
<v Speaker 1>to save their little coin. Man. It's it's it's it's

0:34:25.640 --> 0:34:29.040
<v Speaker 1>a different it's different energy outside. Man. I've heard a

0:34:29.080 --> 0:34:34.919
<v Speaker 1>lot of um um financial analysts friends of always talking

0:34:34.960 --> 0:34:38.759
<v Speaker 1>about you need to brace yourself for this recession and

0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:40.560
<v Speaker 1>and you and you actually see it. You look at

0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:44.120
<v Speaker 1>like you said, you talk about airplane airplane ticket prices,

0:34:44.600 --> 0:34:48.120
<v Speaker 1>we talk about gas prices, like everything is at the

0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:51.480
<v Speaker 1>highest it's pretty much been in my lifetime. I haven't

0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:54.920
<v Speaker 1>seen things just high. You know, there's a there's a

0:34:55.000 --> 0:34:59.880
<v Speaker 1>meme on Instagram now where they said a twenty bills

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:02.560
<v Speaker 1>a dollar building. So that brings us to our topic

0:35:02.600 --> 0:35:06.200
<v Speaker 1>on inflation recession and how money is just hard to

0:35:06.239 --> 0:35:10.440
<v Speaker 1>come by right now? Is it hard to combine with

0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:13.399
<v Speaker 1>just not so good to spend. I don't know we're

0:35:13.440 --> 0:35:15.839
<v Speaker 1>gonna find both. I think it's a vote. I think,

0:35:16.440 --> 0:35:21.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think certain individuals have access right to

0:35:21.040 --> 0:35:25.360
<v Speaker 1>to be able to do things and do During the pandemic,

0:35:25.600 --> 0:35:33.160
<v Speaker 1>new ways of creating money came about and always dissipated.

0:35:33.600 --> 0:35:34.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, there are a lot of people who was

0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:39.319
<v Speaker 1>making money different ways before that is no longer relevant now.

0:35:39.360 --> 0:35:44.000
<v Speaker 1>So they're trying to complete whole markets disappear whole markets

0:35:44.000 --> 0:35:46.760
<v Speaker 1>and ways and people making money disappeared and the money

0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:49.600
<v Speaker 1>that they're making just completely dried up. So it's somebody

0:35:49.600 --> 0:35:53.200
<v Speaker 1>going on out here. Okay, So let's bring our guests

0:35:53.200 --> 0:36:00.279

<v Speaker 1>or not? Like they say we're going towards one, but

0:36:47.960 --> 0:36:51.200

0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I take a non traditional I have a non traditional

0:37:08.800 --> 0:37:11.360
<v Speaker 1>take on this subject. Okay, So I'm just put that

0:37:11.400 --> 0:37:16.080
<v Speaker 1>out there now, um for me. For me, I feel

0:37:16.200 --> 0:37:17.600
<v Speaker 1>there's a couple of things. So this is kind of

0:37:17.600 --> 0:37:20.280
<v Speaker 1>a loaded question. First of all, when it comes to recession,

0:37:20.280 --> 0:37:23.640
<v Speaker 1>recessions can only be declared in hindsight, like in actuality,

0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:26.160
<v Speaker 1>So they can't say like, oh, we're going into a recession,

0:37:26.200 --> 0:37:30.000
<v Speaker 1>like the economy cannot know if we were experiencing a

0:37:30.000 --> 0:37:33.840
<v Speaker 1>recession until we have come through the recession or have

0:37:33.960 --> 0:37:36.640
<v Speaker 1>been in it for a particular amount of time. The

0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:38.799
<v Speaker 1>other thing is I think a lot of people there's

0:37:38.840 --> 0:37:41.279
<v Speaker 1>a lot of buzzwords going around, so people are kind

0:37:41.280 --> 0:37:46.799
<v Speaker 1>of really blurring the line between recession and inflation. So

0:37:46.880 --> 0:37:49.799
<v Speaker 1>we are definitely feeling the effects of inflation, but I

0:37:49.800 --> 0:37:52.839
<v Speaker 1>don't know that we're necessarily feeling the effects of a recession.

0:37:53.360 --> 0:37:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Right now, what's the difference? Okay, that's a great question.

0:37:57.800 --> 0:38:01.360
<v Speaker 1>So recession, um, So, first of inflation is the easiest.

0:38:01.400 --> 0:38:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Inflation just literally hits your pockets. You feel it when

0:38:04.560 --> 0:38:05.800
<v Speaker 1>you go on the grocery store, when you go to

0:38:05.840 --> 0:38:09.520
<v Speaker 1>the gas tank, when you um try to you know,

0:38:10.080 --> 0:38:13.440
<v Speaker 1>rent a space. You feel it because that means that

0:38:13.480 --> 0:38:16.239
<v Speaker 1>the interest rates have gone up. That means well, not

0:38:16.320 --> 0:38:18.319
<v Speaker 1>that the interest rates have gone up, it means that

0:38:18.360 --> 0:38:21.080
<v Speaker 1>the cost of goods and services are more. Right, and

0:38:21.120 --> 0:38:24.719
<v Speaker 1>so UM, inflation is a natural thing. We've had this

0:38:24.840 --> 0:38:29.000
<v Speaker 1>problem of consistent inflation since like the seventies, right in

0:38:29.040 --> 0:38:31.960
<v Speaker 1>the United States. We understand that it's always been a

0:38:32.000 --> 0:38:34.600
<v Speaker 1>problem because the cost of goods and services are going up,

0:38:34.880 --> 0:38:37.640
<v Speaker 1>yet everything else is remaining stagnant in terms of like

0:38:37.680 --> 0:38:40.920
<v Speaker 1>salaries and things like that. Right, So inflation is not new.

0:38:41.600 --> 0:38:46.000
<v Speaker 1>It is being um exasperated by everything else with the

0:38:46.040 --> 0:38:49.040
<v Speaker 1>gas prices and all the things. So it just feels

0:38:49.040 --> 0:38:51.160
<v Speaker 1>really heavy right now, but it's not new. We've been

0:38:51.160 --> 0:38:57.279
<v Speaker 1>experiencing it forever. That's that's inflation. Recession is when the

0:38:57.320 --> 0:39:02.000
<v Speaker 1>economy domestically and globally look at a few different factors.

0:39:02.000 --> 0:39:05.920
<v Speaker 1>They look at government spending, consumer spending, big business spending,

0:39:06.160 --> 0:39:09.719
<v Speaker 1>and um net exports. Right, so like, are we selling

0:39:10.040 --> 0:39:12.640
<v Speaker 1>as a country, are we selling more than we're buying? Right,

0:39:12.719 --> 0:39:15.680
<v Speaker 1>exporting more than we're importing, and so all of those

0:39:15.719 --> 0:39:19.480
<v Speaker 1>factors combined creates a recession. If you have a constant

0:39:19.560 --> 0:39:24.280
<v Speaker 1>downturn for a couple of cycles or a couple of quarters,

0:39:24.520 --> 0:39:28.000
<v Speaker 1>they say, oh, we're in a recession. My non traditional

0:39:28.040 --> 0:39:32.880
<v Speaker 1>take on that is that a we most marginalized people

0:39:33.040 --> 0:39:35.800
<v Speaker 1>have been left out of the global and really the

0:39:36.000 --> 0:39:40.720
<v Speaker 1>domestic wealth building conversation, and so we don't really fall

0:39:40.760 --> 0:39:46.359
<v Speaker 1>into the categories of government spending, of export of you know,

0:39:46.760 --> 0:39:48.879
<v Speaker 1>big business. When I say big business, I'm talking about

0:39:48.880 --> 0:39:52.759
<v Speaker 1>these trillion dollar businesses. We don't really fall into these categories,

0:39:52.800 --> 0:39:56.480
<v Speaker 1>and so recession has very little effect on us personally.

0:39:56.760 --> 0:39:59.719
<v Speaker 1>It's like one of the times in which we can

0:39:59.760 --> 0:40:02.000
<v Speaker 1>act really just put our head down and be like,

0:40:02.680 --> 0:40:05.279
<v Speaker 1>that's y'all business, because like, are y'all in recession? Or

0:40:05.280 --> 0:40:08.319
<v Speaker 1>are we in a recession? Because you may not be

0:40:08.360 --> 0:40:11.880
<v Speaker 1>in a recession personally, right, even though on a larger

0:40:12.000 --> 0:40:14.200
<v Speaker 1>scale they're saying, oh, we're in a recession. But like

0:40:15.360 --> 0:40:18.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, is eight percent of your wealth wrapped up

0:40:19.080 --> 0:40:24.120
<v Speaker 1>in government contracts or exporting goods or services or even

0:40:24.120 --> 0:40:27.640
<v Speaker 1>the stock market. Probably not to the normal person, So

0:40:27.760 --> 0:40:30.640
<v Speaker 1>you may not actually be experiencing a recession. But what

0:40:30.680 --> 0:40:35.360
<v Speaker 1>but but but but doesn't it impact jobs and you

0:40:35.400 --> 0:40:38.880
<v Speaker 1>know other parts of the industry that that does actually

0:40:39.000 --> 0:40:44.240
<v Speaker 1>impact everyday individuals or am I absolutely? So that falls

0:40:44.239 --> 0:40:47.359
<v Speaker 1>into that big business spending. Are they spending money? They

0:40:47.400 --> 0:40:50.920
<v Speaker 1>spend money on people, right, and they give us our

0:40:50.960 --> 0:40:53.760
<v Speaker 1>health care, they match our four one case, they pay salaries,

0:40:53.800 --> 0:40:55.680
<v Speaker 1>things like that, um. And so they want to know

0:40:55.680 --> 0:40:58.480
<v Speaker 1>if big businesses are spending money and that would fall

0:40:58.840 --> 0:41:04.239
<v Speaker 1>us having jobs would fall in that category. Now the

0:41:04.280 --> 0:41:08.400
<v Speaker 1>only not the only And I want to like because

0:41:08.440 --> 0:41:11.839
<v Speaker 1>you cannot declare any of this beforehand. All of this

0:41:11.920 --> 0:41:15.680
<v Speaker 1>is just predictions and and point of views, right, So

0:41:15.800 --> 0:41:20.160
<v Speaker 1>my point of view is the real only space that

0:41:20.560 --> 0:41:24.040
<v Speaker 1>you would feel a recession. Um as kind of a

0:41:24.080 --> 0:41:28.320
<v Speaker 1>marginalized person is a in job loss. So to prepare

0:41:28.360 --> 0:41:31.359
<v Speaker 1>for a recession, you should have a candid conversation with

0:41:31.400 --> 0:41:34.600
<v Speaker 1>your employer and find out their intentions. Are you all

0:41:34.680 --> 0:41:39.640
<v Speaker 1>planning to lay off period? Right? And then um, if

0:41:39.719 --> 0:41:42.360
<v Speaker 1>your business, if you're an entrepreneur or a small business

0:41:42.360 --> 0:41:44.759
<v Speaker 1>owner or just a business owner in general, if you

0:41:44.840 --> 0:41:47.920
<v Speaker 1>have business to business contracts, or if you have you know,

0:41:48.000 --> 0:41:51.359
<v Speaker 1>if your business relies on government contracts, you might you

0:41:51.400 --> 0:41:54.320
<v Speaker 1>will start to feel it, right. Um, It's very unlikely

0:41:54.360 --> 0:41:56.359
<v Speaker 1>that you'll feel it in a housing market right now,

0:41:56.880 --> 0:42:01.480
<v Speaker 1>as the housing market declines, people are still do on well. Um.

0:42:01.600 --> 0:42:04.440
<v Speaker 1>And so it's only like those two areas that personally

0:42:04.440 --> 0:42:08.919
<v Speaker 1>people will likely feel a recession losing a job, which

0:42:09.000 --> 0:42:11.839
<v Speaker 1>we don't know because it hasn't The huge layoffs has

0:42:12.000 --> 0:42:15.160
<v Speaker 1>haven't happened. Right, we had the great resignation, but the

0:42:15.239 --> 0:42:20.200
<v Speaker 1>huge layoff situation hasn't happened, and COVID prepared us for that.

0:42:20.280 --> 0:42:23.120
<v Speaker 1>We're still in survival mode. So when people got laid

0:42:23.120 --> 0:42:26.560
<v Speaker 1>off during COVID, a lot of people turned the entrepreneurship

0:42:26.680 --> 0:42:29.920
<v Speaker 1>and things like that, and so COVID kind of prepared

0:42:30.000 --> 0:42:32.279
<v Speaker 1>us for this moment, and so it's not going to

0:42:32.400 --> 0:42:35.279
<v Speaker 1>be such a slap in the face as you know

0:42:35.360 --> 0:42:37.560
<v Speaker 1>it would have been if you know, pre COVID era.

0:42:38.080 --> 0:42:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm. Okay, So what I want to figure out

0:42:41.880 --> 0:42:46.279
<v Speaker 1>is this, So inflation is pretty much harming people of color, right,

0:42:47.160 --> 0:42:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Obsession is not really our think, that's big business. That's

0:42:50.920 --> 0:42:54.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, those people who goods and import and exports.

0:42:54.719 --> 0:42:57.080
<v Speaker 1>So okay, so that makes a lot of sense. So

0:42:57.160 --> 0:43:01.080
<v Speaker 1>what can the average person do during and during this

0:43:01.160 --> 0:43:05.040
<v Speaker 1>inflation time to kind of prepare kind of offset, Like,

0:43:05.120 --> 0:43:10.120
<v Speaker 1>what are some strategies that you would recommend? So I

0:43:10.160 --> 0:43:13.719
<v Speaker 1>think the first thing, and I know no one ever

0:43:13.760 --> 0:43:16.919
<v Speaker 1>wants to hear about mindset because they like that horses beat,

0:43:17.360 --> 0:43:20.640
<v Speaker 1>but I really feel like everyone needs to just take

0:43:20.640 --> 0:43:24.839
<v Speaker 1>a moment, right, breathe and get your mindset in order

0:43:24.880 --> 0:43:27.480
<v Speaker 1>and make sure that your mindset is in alignment and

0:43:27.520 --> 0:43:30.439
<v Speaker 1>you have intentions. What am I trying to get out

0:43:30.480 --> 0:43:34.799
<v Speaker 1>of this particular period in in our life or in

0:43:34.960 --> 0:43:37.359
<v Speaker 1>this economy? Right? And so you stop, you get your

0:43:37.360 --> 0:43:43.040
<v Speaker 1>mindset together. Let's not give into the fear that they

0:43:43.040 --> 0:43:45.759
<v Speaker 1>are pushing on us, right, because there's marketing in everything,

0:43:45.920 --> 0:43:49.719
<v Speaker 1>and including economics and things like that. So on the internet,

0:43:49.880 --> 0:43:54.040
<v Speaker 1>on everywhere that you see, they are beating us with fear.

0:43:54.640 --> 0:43:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Do not give into it, right, Just stop for a

0:43:57.400 --> 0:44:00.960
<v Speaker 1>second and understand and assess yourself personally. The next thing

0:44:01.000 --> 0:44:04.480
<v Speaker 1>you do is when you need to be responsible or

0:44:04.480 --> 0:44:07.760
<v Speaker 1>accountable to your money, create a spending plan. A spending

0:44:07.760 --> 0:44:10.000
<v Speaker 1>plan is a budget. We as she building her. Don't

0:44:10.040 --> 0:44:11.960
<v Speaker 1>use the word budget anymore because the women said it

0:44:12.000 --> 0:44:15.200
<v Speaker 1>feels too restrictive. So we create spending plans. Okay, not budgets,

0:44:15.560 --> 0:44:18.880
<v Speaker 1>but you create a spending plan. Look, do you have

0:44:18.960 --> 0:44:21.680
<v Speaker 1>your emergency fund in order? Right? Where are you holding

0:44:21.680 --> 0:44:24.960
<v Speaker 1>your emergency fund? Get you a high yield savings account?

0:44:25.040 --> 0:44:28.719
<v Speaker 1>Right because as if as the fans want inflation to

0:44:28.760 --> 0:44:31.200
<v Speaker 1>come down, they raised the interest rates. When the interest

0:44:31.280 --> 0:44:35.200
<v Speaker 1>rates are raised, that means money is more expensive to borrow. Right.

0:44:35.400 --> 0:44:38.000
<v Speaker 1>So if you have your money inside of a high

0:44:38.120 --> 0:44:41.279
<v Speaker 1>yield savings account with a bank, that bank's interest rates

0:44:41.280 --> 0:44:43.560
<v Speaker 1>are going up, so you're getting paid more on the

0:44:43.600 --> 0:44:45.759
<v Speaker 1>money that you're leaving in there. Right. So you want

0:44:45.760 --> 0:44:47.680
<v Speaker 1>an emergency phone, but not just that, you want to

0:44:47.719 --> 0:44:50.040
<v Speaker 1>emergency fund. You want to sit it inside of a

0:44:50.120 --> 0:44:53.799
<v Speaker 1>high yield savings account. Right, you want to how much

0:44:53.840 --> 0:44:57.920
<v Speaker 1>how much would you say that the average person, average

0:44:57.960 --> 0:45:00.320
<v Speaker 1>woman since we're talking on she building her and my

0:45:00.400 --> 0:45:04.399
<v Speaker 1>son said she building him too, But how much would

0:45:04.440 --> 0:45:07.640
<v Speaker 1>you say a woman needs to have in the emergency

0:45:07.680 --> 0:45:12.800
<v Speaker 1>from Okay, So do you have this like ideal number

0:45:12.880 --> 0:45:15.640
<v Speaker 1>of like six to nine months? But then you also

0:45:15.719 --> 0:45:18.320
<v Speaker 1>see that like in New York, rent for the first

0:45:18.360 --> 0:45:21.160
<v Speaker 1>time is on average of five thousand dollars. Do people

0:45:21.239 --> 0:45:24.080
<v Speaker 1>have six months worth five thousand dollars just in rent,

0:45:24.160 --> 0:45:28.080
<v Speaker 1>not including utilities, card note, insurance, groceries, all these things.

0:45:28.800 --> 0:45:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Is it possible, like if it's ideal to have six months,

0:45:33.440 --> 0:45:37.080
<v Speaker 1>if you cannot have six months, like started two months, right,

0:45:37.120 --> 0:45:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and during those two months work you'll ask work, your

0:45:40.120 --> 0:45:46.359
<v Speaker 1>boy ask everything. Another month in there, you know, just

0:45:46.480 --> 0:45:48.680
<v Speaker 1>start where you are with what you have. Don't get

0:45:48.719 --> 0:45:52.279
<v Speaker 1>wrapped up in the I should have this, because when

0:45:52.280 --> 0:45:55.160
<v Speaker 1>you get wrapped up in that, you feel incompetent and

0:45:55.200 --> 0:45:58.799
<v Speaker 1>then you just you like, you know what, yogot, I

0:45:58.800 --> 0:46:00.839
<v Speaker 1>don't got nothing, and that's just it is what it is.

0:46:01.000 --> 0:46:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Outcross that bridge when I get there. We don't want

0:46:03.120 --> 0:46:06.640
<v Speaker 1>that just start with where you are, so ideally six months.

0:46:06.680 --> 0:46:09.640
<v Speaker 1>If that's not possible, just whatever you have start putting

0:46:09.640 --> 0:46:12.000
<v Speaker 1>into the side and saving it. You were giving some

0:46:12.040 --> 0:46:14.879
<v Speaker 1>more tips on things that people should do. Yeah, so

0:46:15.200 --> 0:46:18.160
<v Speaker 1>create your spinning plan. Make sure you have an emergency fund,

0:46:18.320 --> 0:46:20.759
<v Speaker 1>some sort of emergency fund set up. Make sure your

0:46:20.800 --> 0:46:23.040
<v Speaker 1>credit is okay, just in case you need to get

0:46:23.120 --> 0:46:25.759
<v Speaker 1>some um, you need to get some help and and

0:46:25.800 --> 0:46:27.920
<v Speaker 1>start borrowing some money or credit card or something like

0:46:27.960 --> 0:46:31.720
<v Speaker 1>that to float you. Um, you should put it inside

0:46:31.719 --> 0:46:35.239
<v Speaker 1>of how your savings account. Have a conversation with your

0:46:35.280 --> 0:46:38.439
<v Speaker 1>employer to see if layoffs are coming right, and then

0:46:39.000 --> 0:46:42.520
<v Speaker 1>understand like opportunities in terms of like double down on

0:46:42.560 --> 0:46:47.680
<v Speaker 1>your skill set because inflation cannot just like we would

0:46:47.680 --> 0:46:50.680
<v Speaker 1>like to just be like let the gas prices go

0:46:50.719 --> 0:46:53.040
<v Speaker 1>back to the where they were, Let the you know,

0:46:53.200 --> 0:46:55.960
<v Speaker 1>food prices and housing prices go back to what they were.

0:46:56.080 --> 0:47:00.520
<v Speaker 1>But sometimes deflation is just as detrimental as inflation, so

0:47:00.560 --> 0:47:03.239
<v Speaker 1>that you do not just drop everything because we will

0:47:03.239 --> 0:47:05.759
<v Speaker 1>still be in a bad situation. So it's kind of

0:47:05.800 --> 0:47:09.120
<v Speaker 1>like this perfect storm happening. So really the bottom line

0:47:09.200 --> 0:47:11.399
<v Speaker 1>is like keep your head down and work, just go

0:47:11.680 --> 0:47:13.759
<v Speaker 1>and like stay focused on what you've been doing to

0:47:14.520 --> 0:47:17.280
<v Speaker 1>generate money and income. Double down on your skill set.

0:47:17.360 --> 0:47:20.480
<v Speaker 1>If you have a business, like just make sure you're

0:47:20.480 --> 0:47:23.640
<v Speaker 1>over delivering retaining clients because you may not get new

0:47:23.680 --> 0:47:28.560
<v Speaker 1>clients at the moment. You know, um, just you just

0:47:28.640 --> 0:47:32.719
<v Speaker 1>stay keep your mindset aligned with wealth building. That is

0:47:32.760 --> 0:47:35.640
<v Speaker 1>just the bottom line, right. So if you're like a

0:47:35.640 --> 0:47:40.279
<v Speaker 1>hair stylist, make sure you on time, taking care of

0:47:40.280 --> 0:47:45.319
<v Speaker 1>your clients, properly, learning new skills so that you can

0:47:45.440 --> 0:47:49.520
<v Speaker 1>keep your people happy because you may not be able.

0:47:49.600 --> 0:47:51.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, other people might be like, I'm wearing braids

0:47:51.440 --> 0:47:53.279
<v Speaker 1>for the next six months because I'm you know, I

0:47:53.320 --> 0:47:55.880
<v Speaker 1>can't afford to be going back and forth to the

0:47:55.880 --> 0:47:59.400
<v Speaker 1>hair salon. My son is laughing because you know, I'm

0:47:59.560 --> 0:48:04.200
<v Speaker 1>he knows. But even that right, put PayPal after pay

0:48:04.280 --> 0:48:06.319
<v Speaker 1>on your website and let your client's book that way.

0:48:06.440 --> 0:48:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Put them on a payment client. If you know that

0:48:08.080 --> 0:48:10.799
<v Speaker 1>your client typically gets braids every six months, put that

0:48:10.840 --> 0:48:14.200
<v Speaker 1>woman on a payment plan to pay you for every

0:48:14.200 --> 0:48:15.960
<v Speaker 1>single month for twelve months. You can do or here

0:48:16.000 --> 0:48:18.520
<v Speaker 1>twice in a year. Like you need to get innovative.

0:48:18.560 --> 0:48:21.440
<v Speaker 1>You need to start understanding your client and your customer

0:48:21.640 --> 0:48:24.600
<v Speaker 1>and meeting them where they're where they are. We got

0:48:24.640 --> 0:48:28.120
<v Speaker 1>into this like false sense of like you need me,

0:48:28.280 --> 0:48:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't need you as business owners, which is kind

0:48:30.600 --> 0:48:35.040
<v Speaker 1>of like that crazy, But the reality is you need

0:48:35.120 --> 0:48:37.480
<v Speaker 1>to meet your client or your customer where he or

0:48:37.560 --> 0:48:40.239
<v Speaker 1>she is, and so whatever you can do to accommodate them,

0:48:40.400 --> 0:48:42.640
<v Speaker 1>because they want your goods or services. But whatever you

0:48:42.680 --> 0:48:44.719
<v Speaker 1>can do to accommodate them, you need to get innovative

0:48:44.880 --> 0:48:48.640
<v Speaker 1>and start implementing that. Now, you know, because now you're

0:48:48.680 --> 0:48:51.400
<v Speaker 1>providing then the security of knowing my lifestyle doesn't have

0:48:51.440 --> 0:48:55.640
<v Speaker 1>to just drop out, and you're providing yourself the financial

0:48:55.680 --> 0:48:58.320
<v Speaker 1>security of knowing you're gonna retain that client long term.

0:48:58.440 --> 0:49:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm sounds so. So this is a question that

0:49:02.719 --> 0:49:06.560
<v Speaker 1>I actual time right now, So since we're dealing with

0:49:06.640 --> 0:49:10.200
<v Speaker 1>inflation and also the quote uncover session that really doesn't

0:49:10.200 --> 0:49:14.439
<v Speaker 1>affect us. What do you think, like would be good

0:49:14.480 --> 0:49:18.160
<v Speaker 1>investments right what would be right now in this time?

0:49:18.200 --> 0:49:22.680
<v Speaker 1>What businesship should we be looking to start and and

0:49:22.760 --> 0:49:30.120
<v Speaker 1>things of that nature. What's the opportunities? Yeah, recession definitely

0:49:30.200 --> 0:49:35.759
<v Speaker 1>creates financial opportunities. Right was declared a recession. It was

0:49:35.800 --> 0:49:40.880
<v Speaker 1>the shortest recession in history. But in like the number

0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:44.400
<v Speaker 1>like one percent of American adults became millionaires for the

0:49:44.440 --> 0:49:48.399
<v Speaker 1>first time, right, and the number of millionaires went from

0:49:48.400 --> 0:49:51.359
<v Speaker 1>like five million people to fifty six million people, right

0:49:51.480 --> 0:49:56.600
<v Speaker 1>in the height of all the crazy. Right. So recession

0:49:56.680 --> 0:50:01.840
<v Speaker 1>and really just unfavorable situations create points of opportunity period

0:50:01.960 --> 0:50:07.799
<v Speaker 1>in most industries. But um, i'd say this, there's a

0:50:07.840 --> 0:50:12.560
<v Speaker 1>list so that me personally, I would say you need

0:50:12.600 --> 0:50:18.600
<v Speaker 1>to be looking into stocks, bonds, crypto, real estate, which

0:50:18.640 --> 0:50:20.760
<v Speaker 1>real estate is not my lane, so I don't really

0:50:20.800 --> 0:50:23.840
<v Speaker 1>go into that, but real estate and in terms of

0:50:23.880 --> 0:50:26.440
<v Speaker 1>businesses to start that is like a thousand percent not

0:50:26.520 --> 0:50:30.759
<v Speaker 1>my lane, so I wouldn't even give any suggestions there.

0:50:30.840 --> 0:50:34.000
<v Speaker 1>But in terms of UM investing, I think you need

0:50:34.040 --> 0:50:38.239
<v Speaker 1>to take advantage of stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrency. We know

0:50:38.320 --> 0:50:43.680
<v Speaker 1>as talk about bonds. Okay, So stocks are equity, right,

0:50:43.719 --> 0:50:45.840
<v Speaker 1>So you buy a stock, you own a little piece

0:50:45.880 --> 0:50:48.000
<v Speaker 1>of a company that's doing well. So when that company

0:50:48.000 --> 0:50:51.400
<v Speaker 1>makes money, you make money. It's equity, it's ownership. Bonds

0:50:51.680 --> 0:50:54.319
<v Speaker 1>is debt. It's basically I owe you. You put your

0:50:54.360 --> 0:50:57.880
<v Speaker 1>money here. It could be given to a corporation, that

0:50:57.920 --> 0:50:59.959
<v Speaker 1>could be given to the government, there are different kinds

0:51:00.000 --> 0:51:03.120
<v Speaker 1>of bonds. You put your money into this bond, you're

0:51:03.160 --> 0:51:06.200
<v Speaker 1>basically saying, hey, I'm willing to lock my money here

0:51:06.239 --> 0:51:09.200
<v Speaker 1>for a given amount of time if you give me

0:51:09.400 --> 0:51:12.640
<v Speaker 1>my money back plus interests on this specific date. Right.

0:51:13.120 --> 0:51:16.040
<v Speaker 1>And so the higher amount of the bond, the more

0:51:16.080 --> 0:51:18.920
<v Speaker 1>money you put in there for a corporation to pull

0:51:19.080 --> 0:51:21.479
<v Speaker 1>and use at their discretion or the government to pool

0:51:21.520 --> 0:51:24.600
<v Speaker 1>and use at their discretion, the higher the interest rate

0:51:24.680 --> 0:51:26.800
<v Speaker 1>is going to be on it, right as the more

0:51:27.160 --> 0:51:30.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, money makes money, right, um, And so in

0:51:30.160 --> 0:51:33.239
<v Speaker 1>times like this when interest rates are going up to

0:51:33.280 --> 0:51:35.839
<v Speaker 1>bring inflation down, if you put your money in a

0:51:35.880 --> 0:51:38.240
<v Speaker 1>bond and interest rates are going up, you're just gonna

0:51:38.360 --> 0:51:40.840
<v Speaker 1>like be making more and more money on that I

0:51:40.960 --> 0:51:43.359
<v Speaker 1>owe you that you gave to a government or two

0:51:44.080 --> 0:51:47.960
<v Speaker 1>corporation to use. And so it's really like I said,

0:51:48.160 --> 0:51:51.600
<v Speaker 1>keep your mindset aligned and with intention and no like, hey,

0:51:51.800 --> 0:51:54.719
<v Speaker 1>can I do without this five ten thousand dollars for three,

0:51:54.920 --> 0:51:57.960
<v Speaker 1>five years, ten years. The long the more money and

0:51:58.000 --> 0:51:59.759
<v Speaker 1>the longer you let us sit, the more money you're

0:51:59.800 --> 0:52:05.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna make on it. Exactly. Yeah, No, I mean, like

0:52:05.120 --> 0:52:10.399
<v Speaker 1>all of these illegal activities, the inspiration came behind from

0:52:10.480 --> 0:52:16.360
<v Speaker 1>legal activities. The legal activities came from the legal activities. Actually,

0:52:16.680 --> 0:52:18.600
<v Speaker 1>you never know, just like we look at we look

0:52:18.640 --> 0:52:22.080
<v Speaker 1>at bootlegging liquor back in the days, right, they wasn't

0:52:22.080 --> 0:52:25.000
<v Speaker 1>selling liquor. First people started making it and selling it,

0:52:25.239 --> 0:52:27.279
<v Speaker 1>and then the legal people say, you know what we

0:52:27.320 --> 0:52:29.360
<v Speaker 1>could do. That just's like weed, the weed in the street.

0:52:29.880 --> 0:52:32.799
<v Speaker 1>It was founded in the hood. They were selling weed

0:52:32.840 --> 0:52:36.640
<v Speaker 1>before they had these dispensaries. So don't listen. I'm just

0:52:36.719 --> 0:52:42.480
<v Speaker 1>keeping it the world to know how to negro the situation.

0:52:42.480 --> 0:52:46.520
<v Speaker 1>But I've been outside. Although they were selling cocaine before

0:52:46.560 --> 0:52:49.080
<v Speaker 1>the streets were selling cocaine, Okay, yeah, they was, that's

0:52:49.160 --> 0:52:51.840
<v Speaker 1>that's the first thing. They definitely was selling that first.

0:52:52.000 --> 0:52:54.400
<v Speaker 1>So I know that just took a left lest She

0:52:54.440 --> 0:52:57.160
<v Speaker 1>looked at us like I was getting ready to safe

0:52:57.160 --> 0:53:00.279
<v Speaker 1>because you think about poppy seeds and all of that stuff, like,

0:53:00.400 --> 0:53:02.600
<v Speaker 1>so they were all they always had a way to

0:53:02.640 --> 0:53:08.640
<v Speaker 1>get high or you know, a way to huh, yes,

0:53:08.920 --> 0:53:11.160
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah you were Okay, I thought you were saying

0:53:11.160 --> 0:53:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm wrong. No, So yeah, like they always had some

0:53:14.840 --> 0:53:19.439
<v Speaker 1>kind of way to get high. You know, I don't

0:53:19.440 --> 0:53:21.480
<v Speaker 1>even know because I want to, like, I need to

0:53:21.520 --> 0:53:24.200
<v Speaker 1>find out what we talked to our friends in Africa.

0:53:24.960 --> 0:53:28.720
<v Speaker 1>What were we using for the euphoric feeling. I'm sure

0:53:28.920 --> 0:53:34.200
<v Speaker 1>something mushrooms mushroom, Oh my god, we were using the

0:53:34.320 --> 0:53:45.680
<v Speaker 1>mushrooms girl trooms disguise. I'm just merely telling you the street.

0:53:47.120 --> 0:53:51.920
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, let's get back track here. We are trying

0:53:52.080 --> 0:53:56.560
<v Speaker 1>to educate folks on what we need to be doing

0:53:56.600 --> 0:53:59.960
<v Speaker 1>in this moment. So let me just recap. Inflation is

0:54:00.040 --> 0:54:03.800
<v Speaker 1>what hurts. So so we're hurting right now because people

0:54:03.840 --> 0:54:06.480
<v Speaker 1>are definitely hurt and you can't travel with your family,

0:54:06.920 --> 0:54:09.520
<v Speaker 1>you go to the grocery store, that because your your

0:54:09.560 --> 0:54:13.120
<v Speaker 1>paycheck is the same, and in some situations, because of

0:54:13.200 --> 0:54:16.040
<v Speaker 1>COVID and whatnot, it might even be less because you

0:54:16.080 --> 0:54:19.279
<v Speaker 1>may not even have the same Like you said my song,

0:54:19.320 --> 0:54:23.359
<v Speaker 1>whole industries have been gutted basically, things that people were

0:54:23.440 --> 0:54:26.160
<v Speaker 1>doing in the past. There's not even a need for us.

0:54:26.200 --> 0:54:29.040
<v Speaker 1>So even I just think about, like, you know, there's

0:54:29.080 --> 0:54:32.160
<v Speaker 1>probably some we don't know the numbers, but there's got

0:54:32.160 --> 0:54:35.920
<v Speaker 1>to be some decline in transportation like ubers and all

0:54:35.920 --> 0:54:38.279
<v Speaker 1>of that because people are working from home, you know,

0:54:38.440 --> 0:54:42.680
<v Speaker 1>so you got that situation, you're trying to balance it out.

0:54:43.120 --> 0:54:46.759
<v Speaker 1>And then and then probably way more people that want

0:54:46.800 --> 0:54:49.359
<v Speaker 1>to be Uber's. Right before they used to be like, oh,

0:54:49.400 --> 0:54:51.560
<v Speaker 1>you get an Uber, you make this amount of money.

0:54:51.640 --> 0:54:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Now it's so much many more Ubers out there, money

0:54:55.400 --> 0:54:58.680
<v Speaker 1>to be made. You know, the number the number one

0:54:58.680 --> 0:55:02.879
<v Speaker 1>place of inflation is new and used car sales. Wow,

0:55:03.239 --> 0:55:07.000
<v Speaker 1>new and used car salves. So people, a lot of

0:55:07.000 --> 0:55:09.319
<v Speaker 1>people are forced to use things like Uber and lift

0:55:09.360 --> 0:55:12.120
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that because it's hell expensive. Like, I

0:55:12.160 --> 0:55:16.800
<v Speaker 1>know y'all are both y'all in New York and parking cars, Yeah,

0:55:16.840 --> 0:55:21.160
<v Speaker 1>we do, actually like but gu's what but guess what?

0:55:21.560 --> 0:55:25.319
<v Speaker 1>Parking is trash in New York. Like the cost of

0:55:25.440 --> 0:55:29.160
<v Speaker 1>parking at the studio where we shoot. When we're able

0:55:29.200 --> 0:55:32.839
<v Speaker 1>to go into studio for this show. The parking lot

0:55:33.080 --> 0:55:35.120
<v Speaker 1>used to be like what was it my song, like

0:55:35.160 --> 0:55:38.480
<v Speaker 1>fifty dollars or something, which is ridiculous, and now it's

0:55:38.520 --> 0:55:42.160
<v Speaker 1>like eighty dollars to park for a few hours. So

0:55:42.760 --> 0:55:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I just read an article about in New York they

0:55:46.040 --> 0:55:51.560
<v Speaker 1>are converting um structures to parking structures and they're selling

0:55:51.960 --> 0:55:56.719
<v Speaker 1>a spot for a million dollars each spot for a

0:55:56.719 --> 0:55:59.680
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. But and people were like, that is so crazy,

0:55:59.680 --> 0:56:01.200
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, but when you really think about it,

0:56:01.200 --> 0:56:03.520
<v Speaker 1>it's really not that crazy because if you can get

0:56:03.520 --> 0:56:06.759
<v Speaker 1>a mortgage or something on that million dollars spot, you

0:56:07.000 --> 0:56:09.840
<v Speaker 1>then own it, and so you can it's kind of

0:56:09.840 --> 0:56:12.719
<v Speaker 1>like airbnb. You could airbnb it out right, not like

0:56:13.200 --> 0:56:16.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, but it's not that crazy when you think

0:56:16.239 --> 0:56:20.120
<v Speaker 1>about annually how much you spend to park there and

0:56:20.280 --> 0:56:23.000
<v Speaker 1>versus how much you spend in transportation costs or or

0:56:23.239 --> 0:56:26.759
<v Speaker 1>other short term parking, like, it sounds crazy, but a

0:56:26.800 --> 0:56:30.279
<v Speaker 1>million dollars for a lifetime parking spot is not crazy. Well,

0:56:30.320 --> 0:56:32.240
<v Speaker 1>this is this is what you're saying is a fact

0:56:32.280 --> 0:56:36.000
<v Speaker 1>because when I lived on Park Avenue and thirty seventh

0:56:36.080 --> 0:56:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Street for like ten years, and the building had a

0:56:40.680 --> 0:56:43.480
<v Speaker 1>parking lot, and we had the means, so it's not

0:56:43.560 --> 0:56:46.560
<v Speaker 1>like we couldn't but I but at the time or

0:56:46.600 --> 0:56:50.840
<v Speaker 1>the person that I lived with, which um um, he

0:56:50.840 --> 0:56:53.200
<v Speaker 1>he was what's the word I'm trying to look for.

0:56:53.520 --> 0:56:56.480
<v Speaker 1>He was very financially stable, that's the point. But he

0:56:56.560 --> 0:56:59.040
<v Speaker 1>also was a person who didn't want to spend money

0:56:59.600 --> 0:57:03.359
<v Speaker 1>on in so the building's parking spot was like three

0:57:03.440 --> 0:57:07.239
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the spot every year,

0:57:07.280 --> 0:57:09.759
<v Speaker 1>and he's like, nah, I'm going across the street. We're

0:57:09.760 --> 0:57:12.839
<v Speaker 1>gonna walk three blocks or whatever for the other thing.

0:57:13.080 --> 0:57:15.880
<v Speaker 1>But the other spot was, you know, ridiculous, like some

0:57:16.120 --> 0:57:19.080
<v Speaker 1>six thousand into something dollars a monk. It's just ridiculous.

0:57:19.160 --> 0:57:21.919
<v Speaker 1>It's in the end, it's still is way too much

0:57:22.000 --> 0:57:25.440
<v Speaker 1>money for a person like you, like not you, but me.

0:57:25.800 --> 0:57:27.880
<v Speaker 1>I can't afford it. So this is why you get

0:57:27.920 --> 0:57:31.640
<v Speaker 1>priced out of living in certain communities because there's no

0:57:31.760 --> 0:57:34.000
<v Speaker 1>way that you can afford to keep up your car,

0:57:34.480 --> 0:57:37.320
<v Speaker 1>to keep up the mortgage or rent or whatever payments.

0:57:37.400 --> 0:57:40.880
<v Speaker 1>The food prices are super high. Just buying a sandwich

0:57:41.200 --> 0:57:44.640
<v Speaker 1>down the street is a fifteen dollar purchase. A sandwich,

0:57:44.680 --> 0:57:48.800
<v Speaker 1>a juice, and a baggage trips fifteen dollars on the

0:57:48.800 --> 0:57:51.960
<v Speaker 1>corner of where I used in the Chinese restaurant seven dollars.

0:57:52.440 --> 0:57:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I was. I was in the hood, in the hood,

0:57:56.840 --> 0:58:02.160
<v Speaker 1>so believe they told me that it seven knowledge for

0:58:02.320 --> 0:58:06.520
<v Speaker 1>four chicken wings? Are you kidding? We spend twenty dollars

0:58:06.600 --> 0:58:08.920
<v Speaker 1>or we were spend twenty dollars. We just figured this out.

0:58:08.960 --> 0:58:10.880
<v Speaker 1>We spent twenty dollars a day on me and my

0:58:10.960 --> 0:58:14.600
<v Speaker 1>husband a cup of coffee in the morning, one cup

0:58:14.720 --> 0:58:17.160
<v Speaker 1>or two, well, one cup for me, one cup for him,

0:58:17.240 --> 0:58:21.400
<v Speaker 1>So two cups is twenty dollars total. To know, No,

0:58:21.520 --> 0:58:27.120
<v Speaker 1>it's Dutch bros. You know, it's so inflation to recap

0:58:27.720 --> 0:58:32.760
<v Speaker 1>is what hits us in recession. There are some things,

0:58:33.160 --> 0:58:36.560
<v Speaker 1>but overall, when the country is going through a recession,

0:58:36.920 --> 0:58:39.480
<v Speaker 1>people are pretty much stable. Like they're just you know,

0:58:39.880 --> 0:58:43.560
<v Speaker 1>marginalized folks in our communities. It's just like we've been

0:58:43.600 --> 0:58:46.560
<v Speaker 1>doing this. We're gonna keep on doing the same things

0:58:46.600 --> 0:58:51.000
<v Speaker 1>we've been doing and making stuff right as long as

0:58:51.000 --> 0:58:53.520
<v Speaker 1>you keep your job and as long as you keep

0:58:53.560 --> 0:58:55.959
<v Speaker 1>your job. And it's like one of those things where

0:58:55.960 --> 0:59:00.640
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of like when I hear may media talk

0:59:00.680 --> 0:59:03.960
<v Speaker 1>about recession, I'm like, oh, welcome to the club. Welcome

0:59:04.120 --> 0:59:06.520
<v Speaker 1>to the club. I'm glad you guys are feeling it.

0:59:06.600 --> 0:59:08.960
<v Speaker 1>You guys like when y'all are going through it, it's

0:59:08.960 --> 0:59:11.920
<v Speaker 1>a damn recession. When we're going through it is laziness,

0:59:11.960 --> 0:59:15.200
<v Speaker 1>like make it makes sense that when the math a math,

0:59:15.240 --> 0:59:18.320
<v Speaker 1>and for y'all it's a damn global crisis. But the

0:59:18.400 --> 0:59:20.200
<v Speaker 1>math have not been math and for us for a

0:59:20.200 --> 0:59:23.240
<v Speaker 1>long time, and we've been stuck in the survival mode.

0:59:23.240 --> 0:59:25.760
<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna make it do what to do regardless

0:59:25.880 --> 0:59:29.520
<v Speaker 1>because we have no options. You know, we're gonna stay

0:59:29.600 --> 0:59:34.000
<v Speaker 1>in that you We're gonna stay thriving our version of thriving,

0:59:34.000 --> 0:59:36.760
<v Speaker 1>whatever our version of thriving is, We're going to stay

0:59:36.760 --> 0:59:40.120
<v Speaker 1>there while they are up in arms and trying to

0:59:40.160 --> 0:59:43.520
<v Speaker 1>push their fear on us. Let them have they fear,

0:59:43.840 --> 0:59:45.880
<v Speaker 1>and we're just gonna just continue to do what we've

0:59:45.880 --> 0:59:51.840
<v Speaker 1>been doing. Well, I think that's a great way. It's like, hey,

0:59:51.880 --> 0:59:55.920
<v Speaker 1>it's like just don't spend excess money. Basically, that's the

0:59:55.960 --> 1:00:02.200
<v Speaker 1>whole point is m spend on your area of opportunity

1:00:02.200 --> 1:00:05.640
<v Speaker 1>that you're going to dominate during this recession. If it's stocks,

1:00:06.040 --> 1:00:09.160
<v Speaker 1>if it's crypto, if it's real estate, whatever, you're going

1:00:09.240 --> 1:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>to step into and dominate because opportunity is going to arise,

1:00:12.800 --> 1:00:15.680
<v Speaker 1>right whatever it is. You need to just say, all right,

1:00:15.720 --> 1:00:19.040
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I can't afford to really take on

1:00:19.280 --> 1:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>real estate right now. All right, stocks are much cheaper

1:00:22.000 --> 1:00:25.080
<v Speaker 1>to get into, right, especially with all these splits happening.

1:00:25.440 --> 1:00:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Stocks are much cheaper to get into. So I'm gonna

1:00:27.880 --> 1:00:31.480
<v Speaker 1>go in and I'm gonna go heavy into my investing

1:00:31.600 --> 1:00:34.560
<v Speaker 1>in the stock market because I'm going to pick one

1:00:34.600 --> 1:00:38.200
<v Speaker 1>of these areas to dominate because three years, five years

1:00:38.200 --> 1:00:42.040
<v Speaker 1>from now, I'm not gonna be left here saying I

1:00:42.200 --> 1:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>just tightened up the ropes and refused to spend anything.

1:00:45.040 --> 1:00:47.520
<v Speaker 1>You are going to have to spend in order to

1:00:47.720 --> 1:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>triple your net worth within the next five years as

1:00:51.040 --> 1:00:54.360
<v Speaker 1>we come out of this recession season, like you gotta spend,

1:00:54.760 --> 1:00:57.320
<v Speaker 1>just spend on the right things. Spend on the right

1:00:57.360 --> 1:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>things like my bags and shoes is not exactly going

1:01:01.200 --> 1:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>to help me, So I need to spend on something different. Um,

1:01:07.040 --> 1:01:09.600
<v Speaker 1>you think let me just think of my question real quick.

1:01:09.640 --> 1:01:11.960
<v Speaker 1>It was that you were saying, spend on them. Oh,

1:01:12.480 --> 1:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>and I think spending sometimes what we don't understand or

1:01:17.520 --> 1:01:22.640
<v Speaker 1>we don't consider, is that training courses and you know,

1:01:22.800 --> 1:01:26.120
<v Speaker 1>sessions to learn more about the industry that you want

1:01:26.160 --> 1:01:29.240
<v Speaker 1>to be in. That's a part of the spending, making

1:01:29.280 --> 1:01:32.800
<v Speaker 1>sure you educate. It's an investment in yourself unless you

1:01:32.840 --> 1:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>go further faster, And we need to get there faster

1:01:35.320 --> 1:01:37.760
<v Speaker 1>because we're getting left in this whole wealth wealth race

1:01:37.880 --> 1:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>right now. So you need to go further faster. So

1:01:40.680 --> 1:01:43.040
<v Speaker 1>if you find someone that you align with that can

1:01:43.040 --> 1:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>teach you a skill set or um, you know, a

1:01:47.880 --> 1:01:53.960
<v Speaker 1>strategy that's gonna help you go further faster. Invest mm

1:01:54.080 --> 1:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>hmm invest. I love that. Thank you so much, Star.

<v Speaker 1>our brothers really are excelling. They really are in the

1:02:13.760 --> 1:02:17.600
<v Speaker 1>investment space. You know, We've had some great shows that

1:02:17.640 --> 1:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>have done well in terms of the number of people listening,

1:02:20.480 --> 1:02:24.120
<v Speaker 1>but I'm always saying, where are the women that know

1:02:24.360 --> 1:02:29.400

<v Speaker 1>much for coming on. We've got to have bet. Thank you.

1:02:35.480 --> 1:02:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Can I just drop just a little strategy right at

1:02:38.160 --> 1:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>the end here, So I know we've been talking about

1:02:42.400 --> 1:02:44.960
<v Speaker 1>the mindset around investing and stuff, but just like the

1:02:45.080 --> 1:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>strategic stuff, if you're listening, get out of pen I

1:02:49.880 --> 1:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>gave you to diversify your assets, right, so we're gonna

1:02:53.160 --> 1:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>buy stocks we're gonna buy bobs, We're gonna buy cryptocurrency,

1:02:55.880 --> 1:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna buy real estate. When it comes to stocks,

1:02:58.760 --> 1:03:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I need you to make sure that the stocks that

1:03:00.760 --> 1:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>you're purchasing are good long term stocks. Right. There's a

1:03:04.720 --> 1:03:07.800
<v Speaker 1>handful of strategies out there that will help you gain

1:03:07.960 --> 1:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>or generate income from the stock market. But if you

1:03:10.280 --> 1:03:13.960
<v Speaker 1>are literally looking to place your money in there, allow

1:03:14.040 --> 1:03:17.080
<v Speaker 1>it to build while you work on the other thing

1:03:17.160 --> 1:03:20.720
<v Speaker 1>that you are passionate about. Make sure they're long term stocks.

1:03:20.920 --> 1:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Make sure you're put getting some blue chip stocks, right,

1:03:23.880 --> 1:03:29.840
<v Speaker 1>so those are super stable, cash heavy companies, Visa Home Depot, Apple,

1:03:29.920 --> 1:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>things like that. UM, make sure you're buying some dividend pairs.

1:03:35.120 --> 1:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>We need extra income. Make sure you are investing in

1:03:38.080 --> 1:03:43.600
<v Speaker 1>some of these companies that are dividend payers. You google um, um,

1:03:43.760 --> 1:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>dividend kings and dividend aristocrats, and you will find the

1:03:48.040 --> 1:03:51.120
<v Speaker 1>best dividend companies to invest in on the SMP five.

1:03:51.760 --> 1:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>I know this is a lot that I'm just saying,

1:03:53.320 --> 1:03:55.880
<v Speaker 1>but go to Google. The other thing is you also

1:03:55.960 --> 1:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>want to make sure that UM that you either google

1:04:02.120 --> 1:04:05.880
<v Speaker 1>or ask somebody about the tax implications of your investing. Okay,

1:04:06.480 --> 1:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>so if you are making or declaring as a couple

1:04:11.720 --> 1:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>less than two hundred and fifteen thousand dollars a year,

1:04:14.560 --> 1:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>put that stuff inside of a roth ira so that

1:04:16.960 --> 1:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>you don't experience this massive growth but then end up

1:04:20.680 --> 1:04:23.480
<v Speaker 1>with this massive tax bill. You want things to grow

1:04:24.280 --> 1:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>without taxes, Okay, And then when it comes to cryptocurrency,

1:04:28.440 --> 1:04:33.680
<v Speaker 1>there's a ton of scams, right, but everything is not

1:04:33.760 --> 1:04:35.680
<v Speaker 1>a scam, and we as the people, cannot think that

1:04:35.720 --> 1:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>everything is a scam. So you go do your research.

1:04:38.440 --> 1:04:41.040
<v Speaker 1>The best thing that you can do is just invest

1:04:41.120 --> 1:04:44.640
<v Speaker 1>in like the top five points bitcoin, you know, ethereum,

1:04:45.000 --> 1:04:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the top five coins, and do a dollar cost average

1:04:49.040 --> 1:04:51.880
<v Speaker 1>strategy of investing in crypto. That means it doesn't matter

1:04:51.920 --> 1:04:54.640
<v Speaker 1>how much the crypto is it. It only matters how

1:04:54.720 --> 1:04:58.080
<v Speaker 1>much you are willing to put in to crypto every

1:04:58.280 --> 1:05:00.760
<v Speaker 1>given amount of time. So if it's you know, two

1:05:00.800 --> 1:05:03.320
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars a month, it doesn't matter how much a

1:05:03.360 --> 1:05:05.600
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin is. It just matters that you are going to

1:05:05.680 --> 1:05:08.680
<v Speaker 1>buy two hundred dollars per month worth of bitcoin. That

1:05:08.720 --> 1:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>will get you a very long long way when it

1:05:11.440 --> 1:05:14.600
<v Speaker 1>comes to investments. So we need to find you so

<v Speaker 1>your sessions on all of this, because everything you just

1:05:20.960 --> 1:05:23.080
<v Speaker 1>said sounds good, but it seems like as soon as

1:05:23.400 --> 1:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>we finished hearing it this fast, it's just it just dissipates.

1:05:28.600 --> 1:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>It's like what just what what you know? Like, dude, aritheum,

1:05:39.880 --> 1:05:42.040
<v Speaker 1>But you know, it's hard to keep up with it

1:05:42.080 --> 1:05:45.720
<v Speaker 1>when as soon as you finished listening to this one class,

1:05:46.000 --> 1:05:48.600
<v Speaker 1>then you got your baby crying in the background. You

<v Speaker 1>That's people need that, right, you know. In these times

1:07:31.800 --> 1:07:33.160
<v Speaker 1>there are a lot of people that have a couple

1:07:33.160 --> 1:07:34.600
<v Speaker 1>of dollars that want to figure out what do I

1:07:34.640 --> 1:07:36.520
<v Speaker 1>do with these couple of dollars? You know, I want

1:07:36.560 --> 1:07:39.640

1:07:43.040 --> 1:07:48.680
<v Speaker 1>So strategies, Yeah, we need strategies, We need real strategies

1:07:48.720 --> 1:07:51.560
<v Speaker 1>at these times because that coin ain't going as far

1:07:51.640 --> 1:07:56.920
<v Speaker 1>as you used to. Man before during the pandemic, it

1:07:57.000 --> 1:08:00.480
<v Speaker 1>was getting p p P loans and everybody was in this.

1:08:00.720 --> 1:08:06.440
<v Speaker 1>And then listen, because the p p P is no longer,

1:08:06.520 --> 1:08:11.120
<v Speaker 1>everybody on e and the streets is dry, you better

1:08:11.280 --> 1:08:13.320
<v Speaker 1>figure out how to make a couple of dollars because

1:08:13.920 --> 1:08:16.559
<v Speaker 1>we're saying, want his money back, you know. And that

1:08:16.600 --> 1:08:19.880
<v Speaker 1>brings me to a night. I was just looking at

1:08:19.920 --> 1:08:25.920
<v Speaker 1>the news where the um District Attorney in Atlanta says,

1:08:25.960 --> 1:08:31.760
<v Speaker 1>within the next sixty days she has two more major indictments.

1:08:33.360 --> 1:08:38.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, so local Georgians, you know, have to because

1:08:38.040 --> 1:08:42.080
<v Speaker 1>because she's a she's a state, you know, so it's

1:08:42.080 --> 1:08:44.639
<v Speaker 1>not a federal case. So you know, it's it's tough

1:08:44.680 --> 1:08:48.880
<v Speaker 1>out here. Man. I'm saying, listen, the streets is gone.

1:08:49.240 --> 1:08:52.799
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna take you down. Everything is a rico charge.

1:08:53.280 --> 1:08:55.200
<v Speaker 1>They're not gonna let you get away with it. They

1:08:55.240 --> 1:08:57.880
<v Speaker 1>catch you with a gun, they catt they're gonna roof you.

1:08:58.560 --> 1:09:02.559
<v Speaker 1>They won't send you to the up A rude people

1:09:02.560 --> 1:09:08.560
<v Speaker 1>ain't playing with you. Man, It's no because my I

1:09:08.720 --> 1:09:12.200
<v Speaker 1>forget my anems get it. Because this is important, man,

1:09:12.760 --> 1:09:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Like you know, when you think about the amount of

1:09:15.920 --> 1:09:18.800
<v Speaker 1>people who are going to be in jail in the

1:09:18.880 --> 1:09:22.800
<v Speaker 1>next couple of years or probably within the next year,

1:09:22.880 --> 1:09:27.479
<v Speaker 1>actually based off things that happened during this recession and

1:09:27.600 --> 1:09:31.559
<v Speaker 1>during this inflation, and because of this inflation. It's serious.

1:09:31.760 --> 1:09:37.920
<v Speaker 1>So we have to be you know, honest and be

1:09:38.040 --> 1:09:40.919
<v Speaker 1>informative to these young kids and whoever is paying attention,

1:09:40.920 --> 1:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>who can get the message to let them know that

1:09:43.040 --> 1:09:46.439
<v Speaker 1>they're really gonna take you down, like they're gonna take

1:09:46.479 --> 1:09:50.080
<v Speaker 1>you down. Hopefully people understand that they get on your ass,

1:09:50.920 --> 1:09:53.920
<v Speaker 1>you know. Um, you know, my my prayers go out

1:09:53.960 --> 1:09:56.719
<v Speaker 1>to young Thug and Gonna and all of those those

1:09:56.760 --> 1:09:59.680
<v Speaker 1>brothers dealing with that situation. I don't know, you know

1:09:59.760 --> 1:10:02.439
<v Speaker 1>the details. I just know what I hear from the news,

1:10:02.439 --> 1:10:05.479
<v Speaker 1>but I know that it has to be, you know,

1:10:05.520 --> 1:10:09.240
<v Speaker 1>traumatizing to go from being a millionaire one day, being

1:10:09.280 --> 1:10:11.760
<v Speaker 1>able to have everything you want to the next day

1:10:12.040 --> 1:10:16.599
<v Speaker 1>you're fighting federal, federal and state reco charges which can

1:10:16.680 --> 1:10:18.360
<v Speaker 1>land you in jail for the rest of your life,

1:10:18.720 --> 1:10:21.760
<v Speaker 1>you know. And and I see, you know, I've seen

1:10:21.800 --> 1:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>another um brother that I know I don't want to

1:10:25.160 --> 1:10:27.800
<v Speaker 1>say his name, because I don't know if the information

1:10:27.920 --> 1:10:32.639
<v Speaker 1>is correct, but I've seen, yeah, I saw, I saw,

1:10:34.120 --> 1:10:38.559
<v Speaker 1>I saw that they're looking for him for attempted murder,

1:10:39.320 --> 1:10:42.639
<v Speaker 1>you know. So it's it's so many different things that's

1:10:42.640 --> 1:10:45.400
<v Speaker 1>going on, especially within the hip hop community. And that's

1:10:45.439 --> 1:10:49.680
<v Speaker 1>why for me, this boycott Black Murder campaign and you know,

1:10:50.000 --> 1:10:53.680
<v Speaker 1>initiative that we're launching, you know, it's going to be

1:10:53.760 --> 1:10:58.240
<v Speaker 1>something that's important. It's education, is cultural, is getting the

1:10:58.360 --> 1:11:01.840
<v Speaker 1>young individuals that's in golfed in this culture, you know,

1:11:01.920 --> 1:11:05.559
<v Speaker 1>who have been following the culture of negativity and violence,

1:11:05.880 --> 1:11:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to rethink what that looks like, right, to rethink how

1:11:09.000 --> 1:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>do we have the same culture, how do we enjoy

1:11:11.600 --> 1:11:14.639
<v Speaker 1>the same fun, How do we wear the same clothes

1:11:14.680 --> 1:11:19.400
<v Speaker 1>and enjoy the same things without violence, without negativity, without

1:11:19.479 --> 1:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>those things that can either lose our lives or lose

1:11:22.280 --> 1:11:25.479
<v Speaker 1>our freedoms. Right, how do we retrain the culture to

1:11:25.640 --> 1:11:30.320
<v Speaker 1>make being nonviolent and being someone who who intervenes and

1:11:30.160 --> 1:11:34.760
<v Speaker 1>and de escalate situations someone who we celebrate, you know.

1:11:34.840 --> 1:11:37.360
<v Speaker 1>So that's what it is for me, you know, because

1:11:37.360 --> 1:11:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm tired of seeing people that look like me, that

1:11:39.720 --> 1:11:42.519
<v Speaker 1>come from the same culture go to jail. You know,

1:11:43.040 --> 1:11:46.040
<v Speaker 1>you've got k flock. One day he's a hot rapper,

1:11:46.120 --> 1:11:49.080
<v Speaker 1>next day he's fighting murder charges. Like that's that can't

1:11:49.120 --> 1:11:51.840
<v Speaker 1>just be it. It can't be we get hot as

1:11:51.880 --> 1:11:53.880
<v Speaker 1>a rapper for one minute and then next you know,

1:11:54.040 --> 1:11:57.280
<v Speaker 1>you're fighting attempted murder charges and reco charges and you

1:11:57.080 --> 1:12:00.160
<v Speaker 1>and you don't you're just a name that somebody was

1:12:00.160 --> 1:12:02.400
<v Speaker 1>on the T shirt and free my man while you're

1:12:02.400 --> 1:12:04.559
<v Speaker 1>sitting in jail for a hundred years. Like that can't

1:12:04.600 --> 1:12:09.920
<v Speaker 1>be with all the same time, can't normalize, that can't

1:12:09.920 --> 1:12:12.479
<v Speaker 1>be what it is. So you know, you know, my

1:12:12.479 --> 1:12:15.680
<v Speaker 1>my own my respect goes out to everybody. But I

1:12:15.760 --> 1:12:18.800
<v Speaker 1>just I'm going to be on the front line of

1:12:18.920 --> 1:12:22.439
<v Speaker 1>changing that narrative and changing that reality. You know. So

1:12:24.280 --> 1:12:28.320
<v Speaker 1>that says hold another topic, Um, I don't get it.

1:12:33.360 --> 1:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>State representative. I've seen State representative lady and she was twirking,

1:12:38.280 --> 1:12:41.759
<v Speaker 1>just tworking. She was on her handstand. She was twirking

1:12:41.760 --> 1:12:45.280
<v Speaker 1>on the handstand, you know. But I was fully out

1:12:45.360 --> 1:12:49.559
<v Speaker 1>twirking and she was saying she can twerk. And I'm

1:12:49.760 --> 1:12:52.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm and I'm not really mad that she right. I'm

1:12:52.479 --> 1:12:56.200
<v Speaker 1>just trying to figure out is this the new thing,

1:12:56.360 --> 1:13:00.160
<v Speaker 1>like it's it is everything like sexually overly sexual an

1:13:00.160 --> 1:13:02.680
<v Speaker 1>explicit is that the only thing that we do to

1:13:02.760 --> 1:13:06.000
<v Speaker 1>captivate each other. I was watching Karisias Show and I

1:13:06.040 --> 1:13:08.439
<v Speaker 1>was listening to Kevin Gates and he was just saying

1:13:08.880 --> 1:13:11.760
<v Speaker 1>the most volgar ship that you could possibly say, right,

1:13:12.320 --> 1:13:15.120
<v Speaker 1>and it's just like and people just in tune with it.

1:13:15.240 --> 1:13:17.559
<v Speaker 1>It's just like, so that's the new thing, just to

1:13:17.600 --> 1:13:21.760
<v Speaker 1>be completely sexual all the ways vogar like, because I mean,

1:13:21.840 --> 1:13:24.240
<v Speaker 1>if if it is, I just don't get it. I

1:13:24.280 --> 1:13:27.400
<v Speaker 1>just don't get because there has to be like they

1:13:27.439 --> 1:13:30.800
<v Speaker 1>has you know, they say a separation of church and state. Right,

1:13:30.840 --> 1:13:33.759
<v Speaker 1>There's there's certain things that go in certain categories rights,

1:13:33.800 --> 1:13:39.000
<v Speaker 1>certain things. If when I I'm I'm multifaceted, right, I

1:13:39.120 --> 1:13:42.680
<v Speaker 1>do many things. I'm I know I'm well versed in

1:13:42.760 --> 1:13:45.719
<v Speaker 1>street life or understand that the dynamics in the streets.

1:13:46.120 --> 1:13:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I also understand, you know, to level politics and understand

1:13:50.160 --> 1:13:53.080
<v Speaker 1>how to bridge gaps in certain things. And sometimes you

1:13:53.200 --> 1:13:58.160
<v Speaker 1>play different arenas different ways. But for me, is this

1:13:58.240 --> 1:14:02.440
<v Speaker 1>going to be the new thing that the new senators

1:14:02.520 --> 1:14:04.720
<v Speaker 1>and when you're running for office, it's gonna be some

1:14:04.840 --> 1:14:08.559
<v Speaker 1>sexual thing that makes you pay attention to you. Like everyone,

1:14:08.680 --> 1:14:12.519
<v Speaker 1>she got elected without the sexual stuff, and and and

1:14:12.520 --> 1:14:17.520
<v Speaker 1>and had an overwhelming had overwhelming support from her community.

1:14:18.280 --> 1:14:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that there's always been people who were different, Right.

1:14:23.920 --> 1:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>If you watch Um American Gangster, you learn how Adam

1:14:31.000 --> 1:14:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Clayton Powell as a congressman, he was just different from

1:14:37.479 --> 1:14:40.360
<v Speaker 1>the others, right, And we see people like that now.

1:14:41.400 --> 1:14:44.320
<v Speaker 1>She that's just who she is. Like even though Ada

1:14:45.160 --> 1:14:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Adam claiming power was a street dude who understood politics.

1:14:49.360 --> 1:14:52.240
<v Speaker 1>What I'm saying, but I'm saying, he's still He's still

1:14:52.360 --> 1:14:55.040
<v Speaker 1>in the ways in which he worked, right, there are

1:14:55.040 --> 1:14:58.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of other congressional members that would have never

1:14:58.280 --> 1:15:01.479
<v Speaker 1>been engaged with the relationship. Um. You know with Malcolm

1:15:01.680 --> 1:15:07.599
<v Speaker 1>X people he cursed, but he was gangster the way

1:15:07.600 --> 1:15:11.200
<v Speaker 1>he handled things. He was definitely different. I'm not saying.

1:15:11.240 --> 1:15:15.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying she is a woman who was in

1:15:15.840 --> 1:15:18.920
<v Speaker 1>her you know, wherever her private time she was working,

1:15:19.320 --> 1:15:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and she basically was just like, hey, vote for me,

1:15:23.960 --> 1:15:28.720
<v Speaker 1>and that's that's it. It's not that I'm not saying

1:15:28.920 --> 1:15:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm just not the trend that everybody else has to

1:15:31.840 --> 1:15:34.479
<v Speaker 1>do it, or what I'm just trying to figure out.

1:15:36.080 --> 1:15:40.040
<v Speaker 1>It's like, right, this is what it is, Cardi b

1:15:40.560 --> 1:15:44.519
<v Speaker 1>Mega Stallion, Right, they got what m hm right? And

1:15:44.560 --> 1:15:47.880
<v Speaker 1>they have different songs. I think that you have to

1:15:47.920 --> 1:15:50.799
<v Speaker 1>read the room, right. I think when you're doing certain things,

1:15:51.400 --> 1:15:53.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they're gonna go to the White House

1:15:53.280 --> 1:15:56.759
<v Speaker 1>and the phone walk And she didn't go to she

1:15:56.760 --> 1:15:59.840
<v Speaker 1>she wasn't on the campaign. What are you saying, Are

1:15:59.880 --> 1:16:02.200
<v Speaker 1>you not on a campaign trail when you saying vote

1:16:02.240 --> 1:16:06.040
<v Speaker 1>for me after you you were? Honestly, I literally, first

1:16:06.040 --> 1:16:08.479
<v Speaker 1>of all, it was not a campaign ad. She just

1:16:08.520 --> 1:16:10.800
<v Speaker 1>said vote for me, and they made it a big deal.

1:16:11.240 --> 1:16:13.679
<v Speaker 1>What I'm saying is that I'm sure that that woman

1:16:13.720 --> 1:16:16.479
<v Speaker 1>when she goes to her campaign events, when she's in

1:16:16.479 --> 1:16:20.040
<v Speaker 1>her community, she like she was on vacation or somewhere relaxing,

1:16:20.439 --> 1:16:22.559
<v Speaker 1>and as she was doing her twork, she was like,

1:16:22.640 --> 1:16:25.519
<v Speaker 1>vote for me, Okay, cool. What I'm saying is I'm

1:16:25.520 --> 1:16:27.640
<v Speaker 1>sure that when she goes to work, she puts the

1:16:27.680 --> 1:16:31.160
<v Speaker 1>suit on or whatever she wears, and she does whatever

1:16:31.200 --> 1:16:34.240
<v Speaker 1>she's doing. And I'm saying, why would you attach your

1:16:34.320 --> 1:16:36.879
<v Speaker 1>job if you just if she was just out there tworking.

1:16:37.360 --> 1:16:40.400
<v Speaker 1>And maybe some people that don't vote for her, then

1:16:40.439 --> 1:16:42.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe some people who do. The reason why I can't,

1:16:43.760 --> 1:16:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the first of all for me is there are more

1:16:46.360 --> 1:16:49.200
<v Speaker 1>important things folks to be worried about. That's my opinion.

1:16:49.640 --> 1:16:53.599
<v Speaker 1>But also in my situation, I have a number of people,

1:16:53.760 --> 1:16:57.320
<v Speaker 1>and basically, just so you know, most of them, most

1:16:57.360 --> 1:17:01.879
<v Speaker 1>of the folks, almost ninety nine ain't nine percent. I literally,

1:17:02.760 --> 1:17:04.639
<v Speaker 1>I think I can say a hundred percent because I'm

1:17:04.680 --> 1:17:09.880
<v Speaker 1>just thinking, thinking, really, up of those individuals who have

1:17:10.040 --> 1:17:17.920
<v Speaker 1>contacted me about of bikini um um picture online or

1:17:18.000 --> 1:17:21.760
<v Speaker 1>some sexy picture that I posted have been men. It's

1:17:21.800 --> 1:17:25.160
<v Speaker 1>been a hundred percent of those who have something to

1:17:25.320 --> 1:17:29.280
<v Speaker 1>say about how I present, or what I should wear,

1:17:29.720 --> 1:17:33.400
<v Speaker 1>or how sexy I should have should not be, have

1:17:33.520 --> 1:17:38.000
<v Speaker 1>been men. I literally rarely, ever I think I might.

1:17:38.200 --> 1:17:40.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm just and I'm making it up because I cannot

1:17:40.400 --> 1:17:47.000
<v Speaker 1>see the face of the person or even though one woman.

1:17:47.560 --> 1:17:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Now they may say it's behind the scenes or whatever,

1:17:51.200 --> 1:17:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying what, but I'm just telling you, not

1:17:53.439 --> 1:17:57.599
<v Speaker 1>one woman that I know that knows me. Also, because

1:17:57.680 --> 1:18:00.799
<v Speaker 1>most of the women who know me and they're around

1:18:00.960 --> 1:18:04.840
<v Speaker 1>me outside of the movement, they say, you know, that's

1:18:04.880 --> 1:18:07.160
<v Speaker 1>to me that's that's That's what I'm trying to say,

1:18:07.240 --> 1:18:09.920
<v Speaker 1>is this, and and and I go through the same thing, right,

1:18:09.960 --> 1:18:14.240
<v Speaker 1>like I haven't hear you don't you don't you're a man,

1:18:14.439 --> 1:18:17.320
<v Speaker 1>and like like for me to say it's not about sexual,

1:18:17.800 --> 1:18:21.680
<v Speaker 1>it's not about sexual. But I'm just trying to tell you,

1:18:21.720 --> 1:18:25.320
<v Speaker 1>like it's to your point, it's people who know you.

1:18:25.439 --> 1:18:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Right When people who know you, then they know there's

1:18:27.960 --> 1:18:30.639
<v Speaker 1>a certain dynamic of you that exists right there. Knows

1:18:30.720 --> 1:18:32.840
<v Speaker 1>that when you go out and you on the beach,

1:18:33.080 --> 1:18:34.960
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have on the babysit, you're gonna have a

1:18:35.040 --> 1:18:37.080
<v Speaker 1>nice baby and suit on. When you're in the party,

1:18:37.120 --> 1:18:40.000
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have on a sexy dress. They know this

1:18:40.080 --> 1:18:42.000
<v Speaker 1>is to me, this has always been new to mek It.

1:18:42.320 --> 1:18:44.759
<v Speaker 1>So people who are just being introduced to you because

1:18:45.040 --> 1:18:48.040
<v Speaker 1>you've done speeches and you've been at political events and

1:18:48.120 --> 1:18:52.040
<v Speaker 1>you you gain and garnered attention and garnered a level

1:18:52.040 --> 1:18:54.920
<v Speaker 1>of leadership in the space, and that's all they know of.

1:18:55.000 --> 1:18:57.560
<v Speaker 1>You might be surprised by certain things you said that,

1:18:58.000 --> 1:19:01.120
<v Speaker 1>but I'm just trying to take when in but that

1:19:01.280 --> 1:19:05.400
<v Speaker 1>was so surprised that I'm not saying you wrong I'm

1:19:05.439 --> 1:19:08.200
<v Speaker 1>not saying it at all, right, And when I was saying,

1:19:08.200 --> 1:19:10.440
<v Speaker 1>is I deal with the same thing because there's aspects

1:19:10.439 --> 1:19:12.559
<v Speaker 1>of my song that people will see on the end.

1:19:12.600 --> 1:19:15.640
<v Speaker 1>And if the old no, I followed you because I

1:19:15.720 --> 1:19:18.960
<v Speaker 1>like you did this, and I know that always been me.

1:19:19.560 --> 1:19:21.960
<v Speaker 1>So you know, there's never been a man that knows

1:19:22.000 --> 1:19:24.599
<v Speaker 1>me to call him like because they know that's who

1:19:24.640 --> 1:19:27.800
<v Speaker 1>my son is. Right, There's always been women that called me.

1:19:28.120 --> 1:19:30.400
<v Speaker 1>More often than not. They are women who say, yo,

1:19:30.560 --> 1:19:32.920
<v Speaker 1>you need to not do this, because they don't. That's

1:19:32.960 --> 1:19:35.800
<v Speaker 1>just different the dynamic that they haven't been about me.

1:19:35.840 --> 1:19:38.000
<v Speaker 1>So what I'm trying to explain to you is not

1:19:38.080 --> 1:19:41.280
<v Speaker 1>saying she's wrong for what it is. I'm just saying

1:19:41.520 --> 1:19:44.920
<v Speaker 1>everything has a place, right, I just know what are

1:19:44.920 --> 1:19:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you talking about. What I'm trying to say is I'm

1:19:47.040 --> 1:19:52.160
<v Speaker 1>not gonna go to church, but I'm not I'm not

1:19:52.200 --> 1:19:54.639
<v Speaker 1>saying at the beach right, I'm not gonna, Okay, I'm

1:19:54.640 --> 1:19:59.160
<v Speaker 1>not gonna go knowing that I'm a pastor of a

1:19:59.280 --> 1:20:04.120
<v Speaker 1>church right right, and I'm not a church and I'm

1:20:04.200 --> 1:20:09.040
<v Speaker 1>being on the beach right and say around about shooting somebody,

1:20:09.080 --> 1:20:11.320
<v Speaker 1>and say and and and make sure you're cut to

1:20:11.400 --> 1:20:15.080
<v Speaker 1>my church tomorrow, right, I'm I'm gonna listen to me

1:20:15.320 --> 1:20:18.559
<v Speaker 1>because I still represent that church, right, I represent that church.

1:20:19.120 --> 1:20:21.280
<v Speaker 1>And and even though I'm on my free time and

1:20:21.320 --> 1:20:23.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing whatever and I wron and I like snoop

1:20:23.720 --> 1:20:26.759
<v Speaker 1>dogs wrong, right, I'm not gonna do that. And then

1:20:26.760 --> 1:20:30.280
<v Speaker 1>connected to my space in my work that I have

1:20:30.439 --> 1:20:33.320
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with that. I don't do that. I

1:20:33.360 --> 1:20:38.639
<v Speaker 1>don't disagree that connecting it my is problematic for folks

1:20:38.680 --> 1:20:41.679
<v Speaker 1>like they can't get past that. I understand it. All

1:20:41.760 --> 1:20:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying to you is that there are many people,

1:20:44.280 --> 1:20:49.480
<v Speaker 1>there are many pastors out here who have large congregations

1:20:49.520 --> 1:20:54.080
<v Speaker 1>that talk about all kinds of ships, okay, and they

1:20:54.280 --> 1:20:57.599
<v Speaker 1>use it as a marketing tool to draw people into

1:20:57.680 --> 1:21:02.439
<v Speaker 1>their into their congregation. I'm just saying that the woman

1:21:02.560 --> 1:21:05.599
<v Speaker 1>was tworking, and in the midst of her tworking, she

1:21:05.760 --> 1:21:09.800
<v Speaker 1>said vote for me, and it became a thing I

1:21:09.920 --> 1:21:16.000
<v Speaker 1>do not believe that I don't personally get. And the

1:21:16.040 --> 1:21:19.800
<v Speaker 1>way I feel about it is like I don't care.

1:21:20.320 --> 1:21:22.439
<v Speaker 1>That's how I feel. It's not so much whether I

1:21:22.479 --> 1:21:25.160
<v Speaker 1>get it or not. I just don't care. What I

1:21:25.240 --> 1:21:30.840
<v Speaker 1>do care about, though, is is she on the issues, housing, healthcare.

1:21:31.640 --> 1:21:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I need to know that, because if she's not on

1:21:33.760 --> 1:21:36.640
<v Speaker 1>the issues, and that's all what's going on here is

1:21:36.680 --> 1:21:40.519
<v Speaker 1>just working, then she definitely is not qualified to be

1:21:40.600 --> 1:21:44.840
<v Speaker 1>a state representative. But if qualifications is not even my thing,

1:21:44.880 --> 1:21:47.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm just talking. I'm just I'm telling you the way

1:21:47.760 --> 1:21:50.680
<v Speaker 1>that I look at it, the way that I the

1:21:50.720 --> 1:21:53.120
<v Speaker 1>way that I approached it. When I saw it, I

1:21:53.160 --> 1:21:56.479
<v Speaker 1>wanted to know, is this somebody who's on the issue.

1:21:56.479 --> 1:21:58.880
<v Speaker 1>So I went on her website. I see she's on

1:21:58.920 --> 1:22:02.760
<v Speaker 1>the issues. You know what I'm saying. So I'm just

1:22:02.960 --> 1:22:06.600
<v Speaker 1>less concerned about this work. I just don't care. My

1:22:06.720 --> 1:22:10.040
<v Speaker 1>thing is this is there. You don't have to convince me.

1:22:11.560 --> 1:22:13.640
<v Speaker 1>You don't get it. And I told you my point is,

1:22:13.680 --> 1:22:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't care. Why we gotta keep going back and

1:22:16.439 --> 1:22:21.360
<v Speaker 1>forth about it. And with that said, I'm not gonna

1:22:21.400 --> 1:22:24.960
<v Speaker 1>always be right to me. It's not gonna always be wrong.

1:22:25.240 --> 1:22:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Actually we're wrong a lot of times, like right now,

1:22:28.080 --> 1:22:32.839
<v Speaker 1>but we will both always and I mean always, always,

1:22:32.920 --> 1:22:39.720
<v Speaker 1>always be authentic peace. People listen to Street Politicians on

1:22:39.800 --> 1:22:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the Black Effect Network on I Heart Radio and catch

1:22:43.280 --> 1:22:46.200
<v Speaker 1>us every single Wednesday for the video version of Street politicians,

1:22:46.240 --> 1:22:47.519
<v Speaker 1>when I women dot TV,
