And when I said the process, that means 20 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: all this public money that's floating around you know, we 21 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: need to we need to know about it. So at 22 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 1: the MWDB Training Academy, that's what we specialize in. Right, 23 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: how what walked me through the steps I'm gonna I'm 24 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 1: an aspiring entrepreneur. I guess I'm my entrepreneur. I'm putting 25 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: up the money. I got my money, I got my 26 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 1: D B A or whatever, the regular stuff. Uh. And 27 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: you know I want to get some of these government contracts, man, 28 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: because I know that's what a How the goal is? 29 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: How do I get in? What's my first step? What 30 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: do I need to know? Well? Well, when people ask 31 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: me that question, the first thing you need to know 32 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: is how am I trained to know what I know? 33 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: So I have a saying that I used a lot. 34 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: If you knew better, you do better. And so being 35 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: an expiring entrepreneur in business go along with a lot 36 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: of know how as to how you're gonna be involved 37 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: in whatever you're trying to do. So with this public money, 38 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: the first thing most people think is you gotta be certified, certified, certified, Well, certify, 39 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: what if it's certified minority? We came to the world 40 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: certified black, So why we need to be certified? I 41 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: don't get it. But that's a part of the program, 42 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: so let's jump through that hoop. Most importantly, what we 43 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: do it the MWDB Training Academy is we teach you 44 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: how not to just be certified, but how to be 45 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: qualified because qualification is the key to being involved in 46 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: the process. So I have to be certified, you know, 47 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: will the yes and no again, I just told you. 48 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: If you're look in the mirror, you're already black, So 49 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: you certified minority. No, you don't need a license, just 50 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: depending on what type of business you're in. If you're 51 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: a lawyer, you need law license. If you're talking about it, 52 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: some type of license to do business with the city, 53 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: the government. No, you just need a NACE code, Okay. 54 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: A NAICE code describe what type of business you're in. Okay. 55 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: So if you're a plumber and you have a specific 56 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: nice code for plumbers. If you're electrician, same thing. If 57 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: you are radio star, if you're an entertainer, whatever you do, 58 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: you need a NAICE code. And at the MWDB Training Academy, 59 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: what we do is we teach you how to go 60 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: and specifically pick a NACE code that best fit what 61 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: you do. Answer a question, go ahead. This is a 62 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: lot of money in in in in this type of 63 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: funding from very good, very good question bred. In America, 64 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: we spend roughly five trillion dollars annually. That's the American budget, 65 00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: three trillion mandatory spending, the other two discretion. And here's 66 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: what I want you to think about it. In America's 67 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: about thirteen percent African America's We pay taxes on everything 68 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: like everybody else. So it seems like to me that 69 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: of that five trillion dollars need to figure out how 70 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: to get back. Now, the ruth and regulations say it do, 71 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: but we have to teach ourselves how to get it back, 72 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: and it has to start with leadership. See, the people 73 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: that we elect to represent us should know this stuff. 74 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: In ninety nine percent of them don't know. And I'm 75 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: not talking about something I heard. I'm talking about when 76 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: I talk to them, very few of them really understand. 77 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: The most important rule in RAGS when it comes down 78 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: to minority participation, and that's forty nine cf are Part 79 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: twenty six. It speaks clearly on how minorities should be 80 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: involved in the process. I'm so glad you came and 81 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: I appreciate you coming out. Man because you know, in 82 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,239 Speaker 1: the communities that we grow up and we were thinking 83 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: about you know, basketball, we're thinking about football, you know, 84 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: in sports to get money. We're thinking about uh wrapping 85 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,559 Speaker 1: to get money. We were thinking about hustling to get money. 86 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: And for you to sit here and tell us that 87 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,799 Speaker 1: it's that's another way to get money, and that's another 88 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: way to get a lot of money, a lot of money. 89 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: A lot of money is a beautiful thing, bro, because 90 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: we we we have no idea in the neighborhood, in 91 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: our communities. You know what I mean. Your odds are 92 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: odds are actually better doing it his way if you 93 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: want to really come up and get rich, if you 94 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: really want to come out and be rich, rich, the arts, 95 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: the odds, your arts, uh greater to go with the 96 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: route that he's going as a businessman's rich, bro, it's rich. 97 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: You know, You're not gonna never tell you that.

I'm rich in knowledge, yeah, 100 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: and here to share it. You spoke about us having 101 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: needing thirteenth sent since we represent thirteen cent at the minimum, 102 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: we should get thirteeth percent of the budget, right, So 103 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: how much are we currently getting less than one? That's 104 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: cold bloody. I don't think about this. I don't you 105 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: think about this. If the three of us win in 106 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: business and you put in thirteen cent, and you put 107 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: in thirteen per cent, don't you gonna at least get 108 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: thirteen percent back of the profits? Do you know a 109 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: better investment than the US government? No, not a one. 110 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: That's col man. That's good. So now listen, guys. The 111 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: money is there and it's written in the language. But 112 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: I want you to think about this with the I'm 113 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: y'all big brother and our daddy give me a thousand 114 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: dollars and said Garrett, I want you to break bread 115 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: with both of your little brothers evenly.

But I 131 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: was heard and say that, Well, you still obviously didn't 132 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: here because you couldn't count. Because if you count, you 133 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: to ask for your thirty three thirty three thirty three. 134 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: The point is the federal government sending rules and regulations 135 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: down with the money, and they say, here's what to 136 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: do with the money. But if you don't know what 137 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: to do with the money, aw, you're gonna know how 138 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: to ask for him. You know where we grew up. 139 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: But in the hood. If I owe you a hundred 140 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: dollars and you coming in and said, gee, give me 141 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: my hunter dollar and I'll give you teen, and you 142 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: burn off and lead the ninety, I ain't gonna throw 143 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: you down on the ground and put the nine in 144 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: your pocket. I'm gonna keep it. And that's what's been 145 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: happening to us. The money has been coming to us, 146 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: but we don't know how to ask for So do 147 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: we have to ask the federal government that do we 148 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: have to ask a local or state? You know what? 149 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. And I don't like to 150 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: throw nobody under the bus. I really don't, but we 151 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: need to because I live here in Houston, Texas, and 152 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: I know y'all followed the news just recently our mayor, 153 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: Mayor Turner, and I will kind of judge Mayor Judge 154 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: her Dogo just wrote a letter to Hood h telling 155 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: Hood that the Texas government Abbott would not give the 156 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: money to the sit of Houston that came for Harvard. 157 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: It went through the g l O. So what happens 158 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: is the Texas General Land Office. So what happened is 159 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: the money came down from the Feds to the state. 160 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: Y'all know, the money for Harvard was ir mark for Houston, 161 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: but instead of Abbott sending the money to Houston, he 162 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: ran it through the Texas General Land Office. Illegal. It 163 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: ain't illegal, it's unethical. So what Sylvester and Judge Jadago 164 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: did was wrote a letter to Hood and say, hey, 165 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: they ain't giving us the money, and so a couple 166 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 1: of days later the story changed. Now the money is 167 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: coming to Houston. Here's my point. We as African Americans 168 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 1: need to write the government and tell them that they 169 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: ain't giving us our money. But other than that, we 170 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: need to be able to go to our elected officials 171 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: and explain it to them. But they already knew. I 172 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: just said ninety nine of them, don't. They have no clue, 173 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: absolutely no clue. And I'm not going on someone somebody 174 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,719 Speaker 1: told me I'm going on interviews, and let me tell 175 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: you something. I've only met one elected efficient in this 176 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: town that understand that, and that the Senator bars Mound. 177 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: The rest of them don't have a clue and ain't 178 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: trying to hear it. I'm sorry to say that it's bad. 179 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: It's bad. It's bad, and so it is coming on 180 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: us to jack up our elected officiers and say, hey, 181 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: we need to be more involved in the process. But 182 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: the way you're gonna be able to hold them accolendar 183 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: is you have to know the rules. Man, How do 184 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: these people even get in office? Man? Remind me of 185 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: police officers who don't know the law. Their their law 186 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 1: enforcement agents, and they don't know the law. I mean 187 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: you of the times you have common citizens explaining to 188 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: them what the law is and they're like, well I 189 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: didn't know that. And you know again again, I don't 190 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: like to throw people under the bus, but you gotta 191 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: you gotta tell the truth. Tell the truth, Shane the devil. 192 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: You know, I would elected officials in this marketplace, not 193 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: just Houston, but all around the country don't understand this lane. 194 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: They just don't. And instead of them allowing somebody who's 195 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: been trained in this, I've been doing this for a 196 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: decade every single day. I know the rules and regulations 197 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: for the damn good. I challenge any lawyer anybody in 198 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: this area, and I would be able to hold my 199 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: own on conversation all the way up to the White House. 200 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: The key is this, here's what I know. The Office 201 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: of Management and Budget annually sends out the budget to 202 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: all the states. In those documents, it clearly states that 203 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: disadvantage business enterprises or minorities or MWB either, whatever you 204 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 1: want to call them, should get a piece of the pie, 205 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: a fair piece. But if you don't know how big 206 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: a piece you're supposed to get, if they give you something, 207 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: you just to take. I've never seen a group of 208 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: people just happy to get a little something when they 209 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: should get more. Where that comes from not used to 210 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: getting anything? Absolutely, you a little big, you feel like 211 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: you Well. Another thing that's happening in our community, guys, 212 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: we got a lot of so called African American elites 213 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: that they're doing all right. Yes they're doing all right, 214 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: but they don't want to make sure people right. So 215 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 1: one of the reason I started the m w dB 216 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: Training Academy because to be able to reach, you gotta teach, 217 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: and so that's what we do. We teach people how 218 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: to recognize and understand when it's rilf and when it's 219 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: RALF right. I saw it on the website it said 220 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: although we catered to all, our focus is to reach 221 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: those in the black communities who have been left out 222 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: of the process for so long. We are a real 223 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 1: community of individuals and entities who learned and trained together 224 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: through live online sessions. M w dB E Training Academy 225 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: trains regular people and the simple and effective discipline of 226 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: understanding and engaging in various sources of public funding. I 227 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: like that man, public funding. Give me that money, man, 228 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 1: Where that money at? Man? How you get to that money? 229 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: When you get that money. Man, the way you get 230 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: to the money is read. Okay, listen, I just read. Listen, 231 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: President Biking Biden just did a two trillion dollar but 232 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: for Corona increasingly in them two trillion dollars. I guarantee 233 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: you there's some minority of anticipation. Yeah. Now, off the 234 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: top of your head, get the thing and at least 235 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: thirteen percent of it, at least thirteen So thirteen percent, 236 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: let's a ten percent uh to training as two hundred 237 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: billion dollars. We should be able to get two hundred 238 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: your dollars coming to our community without any questions asked 239 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: because we pay taxes for minority. You know, it's it's 240 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: a big, it's a shitty mess in my opinion, because 241 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: you got to think of how many people you know 242 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: fit in the minority. You gotta think, you gotta think 243 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: about that's a very good question. That's a very good 244 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: question he was talking about. I'm talking about straight black. 245 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Black Africana, not not Hispan, not 246 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: Middle Eastern, and not women, not white women, none of that. Okay, 247 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: So now here's the law says we're talking roughly dB 248 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: E that stands for disadvantage business Enterprise. Okay, Now a 249 00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: dB E is everybody, including Becky withd a good hair mhm. 250 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: And I guarantee you if you look at the spared 251 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: to study of the despared of study of the despared 252 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: to study all over the United States of America, back 253 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: with the good hair, it's walking away with roughly nine 254 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: percent of the so called team. So the other one 255 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: percent is split among the other. So this is how 256 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: they stiffer us time and time again.

See, 273 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: all this stuff came back in nineteen sixty four with 274 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: the nineteen sixty four Civil Rights Act, and when that 275 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: went down, they weren't talking about all of the other ethnicities. 276 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: In fact, remember walking across the Edmund Pettish Bridge in Alabama, 277 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: I didn't see no white women. I didn't see no Hispanics. 278 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: I didn't see none of them getting bitten by dogs 279 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: and by ropes. I saw black people. Now, the nineteen 280 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: sixty fold Civil Rights Act, everybody knows Dr Marl Luther King, 281 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: he was advocating on the behalf of African Americans. Now 282 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: since sixty four, or they're about up to now, Becky 283 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: with the good hair and her group have figured out 284 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: a way to manipulate and manipulate and manipulate. They didn't 285 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: get up in there so much. Yeah, So what has 286 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: that happened, in my opinion is somebody got to draw 287 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: a line, like Willard just said and said time out. Becky. 288 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: You're not disadvantage, you are not unpriv you are a 289 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: white woman you privileged. Yes, you're part of the privilege. 290 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: But they didn't figure out how to rather DAWs them 291 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: and they didn't get up in there, and they've taken 292 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: the biggest part of it. Now, again, I'm not prejudiced. 293 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: I'm not against no race, no nationality. But that's not fair. 294 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 1: And then that covers the whole United States of African Americans. Correct, 295 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: that's everywhere. That's so if I had to fix it, 296 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: here's how, here's what I would do. And I'm already 297 00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: working on this, and I have design and putting a 298 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: bill together the call the Bars Act b a r 299 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: Act Black America Reforming and what they need to do 300 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: if they really want to pack fair. They're talking about 301 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: all this reparation and stuff. Damn with that. Remember that 302 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: five tree and hold on, I'm gonna get hold on. 303 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: You know that five tree and dollars that I told 304 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: you about. So instead of giving us some reparation, why 305 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: don't you take that budget, that and your budget and 306 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: break us off ten percent every year? That's five hundred billion, 307 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: that's right now, hold on. You don't have to give 308 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: it to nobody individually. Why don't you establish banks and 309 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: all this other stuff like you do and put it 310 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: in there every month, and now sending that money to 311 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: black banks all around the country. Okay, and then those communities, 312 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: those black banks know which African American business is qualified 313 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 1: to get loan. So, in other words, when you go 314 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: try to borrow money and go to Bank America, if 315 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: you African American, chances are you wasting your time because 316 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna get you to do all the paperwork and 317 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: all that. But no, theyin't gonna lend your quarter. They 318 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: already know that if you had that money coming into 319 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: a fund where African Americans was over the board, did 320 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: all the stuff like all other businesses do, then that 321 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: would change. In other words, that money comes directly to us. 322 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: Felt that nobody tell us what to do with it. 323 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: We lend it to ourselves. And the only reason why 324 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: we can't come up man in in this society right now, 325 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: it's because these banks uh Morgan, Stanley, Chase, uh uh 326 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: Bank of America, Wells Fargo, they refused to loan black 327 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: businesses money. And if they do, they if they do 328 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: it sky high, and if they do it in the 329 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: interest rates. So listen, Brad, I had this conversation with 330 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: people all the time. If you put thirteen percent into 331 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: the economy, why you need to borrow something that's my 332 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: damn money. Anyway, I don't need to borrow nothing. I 333 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: just need you to give me that back with some interests. 334 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: So we're going back to the point that you made 335 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 1: about establishing you know, uh funds and stuff with the 336 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: banks and having black people having access. That's cool, but 337 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: I want to check to straight to my motherfucking pocket. 338 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, man, but I just get piste off.

And we know, and 341 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: we know the only reason why they haven't done it 342 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: is because they're intimidated by black people, and they fear 343 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: black people, and they hate on black people and and 344 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: hate and hate is the biggest one. Just straight up hate. 345 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: That's why they burned down Tulsa. Hating jealous asses. That's 346 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: what that was about. So so so I've been I've 347 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: been hot. I been hot, but we have to do 348 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: one or two things. We got to get our elected 349 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: offishers to do different. But now, don't you think about this, 350 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna call it a name. Y'all can 351 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: figure out we got some elected fishers that look like 352 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 1: us being in Congress for twenty plus years, ain't done nothing. 353 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: So hold on, how in the head do you think, 354 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: how in the hell do you think that somebody have 355 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: been in Congress for twenty years, twenty five years gonna 356 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: go tell Mitch McConnell to do something that he ain't 357 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: been able to do in twenty years. So here's my 358 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: my fix. Let's get some new people in there who 359 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: ain't trying to hear what Mitch talking about because we're 360 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: so easy right now, guys to get along. I heard, 361 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: uh Carbinsman clap clap burn says something about what let's 362 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: work on? Uh, what's the immunity?

What does that mean? Qualified immunity? 365 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: What does that mean? That's the issue with the George 366 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: Floyd bill. They want to take that out to allow 367 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: the police to be able to do what the police 368 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 1: to get away with murder. Yeah, yeah, that means that 369 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: that needs to be the first thing to come out 370 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: to table.

For American society, you did if black 414 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: people the same thing as it would be for any 415 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: other ethnic group any A win for Hispanics is a 416 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: win for American society, and win for white people is 417 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: win for American society, a win for whoever that lives 418 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: in this country, who shares this space that we share. 419 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: If everybody is winning, if everybody is getting getting has 420 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: the same amount of action, then you don't have all 421 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: of these chaos that you have. I do believe a 422 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: lot of these chaos it's because of the inequities that 423 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: we have in this country. Since time. The opposition wanted 424 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: to see us broke, since absolutely so I thought about 425 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 1: this a lot, and here's what I came up with. 426 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: They killed Dr Martin Luther King right, they killed John 427 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: and Robert Kenny right, and scared the rest of the 428 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: freedom fighters off. The only one that stayed true to 429 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,199 Speaker 1: the game. God bless your show was John Lewis. The 430 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: rest of them went to the pulpit, has started preaching 431 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: Farrakan Farra con Stoke with car Michael, you know, uh 432 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: Benjamin out there. But I mean, I mean, just straight 433 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: raising hair. But they fear, they fear fair come yeah, 434 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: they fear fair come yeah, absolutely, because fair come. Truth 435 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 1: Trump's power all day long. Truth Trump's power. And see 436 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: when brothers bring truth, they're not ready. Even people in 437 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: our community that I know that's so called powerful. When 438 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: I talk to them, truth makes them humble because they 439 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 1: don't know how to deal with me, because I have 440 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: no problem in telling the truth. And one of the 441 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: reason I don't have a problem telling them truth is 442 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 1: because I understand the rules and regulations on how to 443 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: survive and provide for myself. Let me tell you someone, 444 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: I begin to read and understand each contract when they 445 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 1: clearly said that there's a piece of the pie for me, 446 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: I need to get mine now. If you don't get 447 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 1: it to me, get to somebody to look like me. 448 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: But you're gonna give it to somebody. And what needs 449 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: to happen is more of us need to know. So 450 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: again with the MWDB Training Academy, that's what we do. 451 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: We teach you how to really understand the rules and 452 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: regulations of the game. Any game. If you're playing basketball 453 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: in your traveledy on you turn over, if you step 454 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: out of bounds, turn over. So what we gotta do 455 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: is we gotta learn how to hit the shot. We 456 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: gotta learn how to play the game. We gotta learn 457 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: how to pass. We gotta learn how to said picks. 458 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,880 Speaker 1: Everybody said picks for their organization and their groups other 459 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 1: than us, because we all want to be one on 460 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: one in individual and I'll do the next. But what 461 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: really kill us is we got these people in our 462 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 1: community who quote unquote is power players, and what they're 463 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: doing is playing us because they've two or three friends 464 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: can make money. And I challenge that all the time. 465 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: I'm a firm believer about watering others automatically water myself. 466 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: The God I served teaches me how to help people. 467 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: When you help people, you get a blessing. That's what 468 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: those gatekeepers are afraid of. That's why they're afraid of you. 469 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: They're not necessarily afraid of you because you tell the truth. 470 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: Is if you told the truth in private, just between 471 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 1: you and them, they wouldn't have any problems. The fact 472 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: is that you're reaching and teaching and we're gonna do. 473 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 1: That's what they're afraid of. Well already know and guess 474 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: what They're gonna be scared of me for a long time. Yes, yes, seven, three, six, 475 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 1: all the way up the ladder. You know. Again, Like 476 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 1: I said, man, I live in Houston. I love Houston. 477 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: This is my town. There's no better city in America 478 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: to live. I'm disappointing my leadership, I really am, you know, uh, 479 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: particularly with Mayor Turner. You know one thing that I 480 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: hear a lot is Mayor Turner won't do stuff for 481 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: African Americans because he worried about what the police gonna do. Well, 482 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: you ain't got to do wrong to bill your people up, 483 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: and you ain't got to do wrong for the police 484 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: to do something. They're gonna do something anyways. Absolutely, so 485 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: don't let that be the reason. Don't let that be 486 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: the reason we elected to you to be the mayor 487 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: so you can help our community. You know, you our community. 488 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: You know there need to be enough black millionaires in 489 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: this town.

What is the 494 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: purpose of being in that position? Now? I'm asking all 495 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: you city of city and state officials out there, because 496 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: I know you're listening, and if you're not listening your 497 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: you should be. You should be listening exactly. So, so 498 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: I want to know, you know, like what what what 499 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: good do you do? Do you serve us? I mean, 500 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: what do you do? What are you there for? Like 501 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: other than to be a gatekeeper? Right? And a photo photo? 502 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: I heard I heard um Barack Obama, President Barack Obama 503 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: say something, um some profound words. Man. He says, I 504 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: am not the president for Black America. I'm the president 505 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: for the United States of America. You know. And as 506 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: much as I love Barack, that statement right there kind 507 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: of blew me a little bit. You know what. First, 508 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: first and foremost, it was unnecessary. What's understood ain't gotta 509 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: be said. You see what I'm saying. And so it's 510 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: certain things. It's like it's like if if I know 511 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: something about you that that that's that's a private situation. 512 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: Just because it's the truth. And just because I know it, 513 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: don't mean I gotta say it. You did. I'm saying, 514 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: I gotta consider, I gotta consider you know who you know, 515 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: how it affects you, how it makes you feel, and 516 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: and you never heard it in your entire life. Even 517 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: though we all know this to be true, we know 518 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: these truths to be evident. So hold hold on. Let 519 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: me at this point that we know that all of 520 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: these presidents that America has had has been the president 521 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: for white people. But they never said that. They never 522 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: said I'm not I'm not just here to be the 523 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: president for white people. You know what I'm saying exactly 524 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: because they know how those white people are gonna feel 525 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: when he says I'm not just here to be the 526 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: president for white people. But but him being black and 527 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: him going through the same um scrutiny as a black 528 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: man that we all have, I would figure that he had, 529 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: he would have a different outlook on on the way 530 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: he ran, you know. So, So Brad Willie, I want 531 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: you to think about it. I don't get to really 532 00:31:54,080 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: get it though. Who cares about our community rise? Who 533 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: really care? Oh? Yes, I mean only you gonna have 534 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: to be the ultimate person to really care whether your 535 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: community rise. And then you gotta take that information and 536 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: that knowledge and share it with other communities. See, when 537 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: you become the leader of the free world, you supposed 538 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: to do what the hell you want to do. Don Trump. 539 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: Trump did what the hell he want to do, and 540 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: he didn't care about whatever other people think. Now I'm 541 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: not saying be overboard or too extreme. But you can't 542 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: tell me, if you're the leader of the free world 543 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: that you can't do more than what you say you're doing. 544 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: And that's across the board. Listen to me, guys. We 545 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: got a lot of people that look like us in 546 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: major cities, mayors and high places. Okay, someone got like 547 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: some of them like state reps with big gums, a 548 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: lot of gum coming anymouth. Let me tell y'all something else. 549 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: What is that? We'll research it, well, research what's the name? 550 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: Uh Tom Scott, Uncle Tom Scott, timmy uncle Tom, Tom 551 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: sc Chim Scott, champion Tom. So you know again we 552 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: got you know, it's got to change, and it's got 553 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: to change now. But we gotta change our leadership again. 554 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: I'm not throwing rocks you nobody, but I want you 555 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: all to think. Name me some strong African American leaders 556 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: in this country. Name me something. I can name a few, 557 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: but I won't. But I won't do that at the 558 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: risk of aliot nating anybody, because we do have something 559 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: out there. But but but that you're right, though, it's 560 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: a shortage. It's a shortage, trust me, it's a shortage. Huh, 561 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 1: ain't what next in waters? Easy? Yeah, yeah we can. 562 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 1: I can name a few across the board, but across 563 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 1: the boys across the board, across the board, and a 564 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: lot of them, bro. So I got another question for y'all, 565 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: How can you help me make a million if you 566 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: ain't never had one. My mama taught me the only 567 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: way you're gonna make a million knowledge and you got 568 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: to hang with people that's got a meeting the more. Yeah. 569 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: But a lot of those kids they got millions, bro, 570 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: And a lot of them don't. Yeah, a whole lot 571 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: of them do. Though. I think more of them the 572 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: higher up you go. They got they got money, they 573 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 1: got that paper. You know, I'll be willing to make 574 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: your bed with a D that it's on the shot. 575 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: Then I think, so, I don't think so. I know. 576 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: So you think Mitch McConnell, gotta you gotta don't look 577 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: like us. We're talking about Yeah, we talked about one 578 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: that talk about al Green. All right, all right, all right, 579 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 1: we'll see. It ain't a really about how much you 580 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: can get for yourself. It's more about how much you 581 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 1: can give for others. Because the word teaches you is 582 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:23,280 Speaker 1: when you water others, you automatically water yourself, you automatically. 583 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 1: One of the reasons why this is pure speculation. One 584 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 1: of the reasons that I believe that a lot of 585 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: black so say leaders per se leaders are not millionaires 586 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: is because if you are taking a job that pays 587 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: thirty thousand a year, a hundred thousand a year, whatever 588 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: it is, and it takes up so much of your 589 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: time like most of these jobs, duties, these public serving 590 00:35:56,120 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 1: jobs do, then uh, if you want to become a millionaire, 591 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: then you have to do something that. Yeah, you gotta 592 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: do something, and um, it all depends on the job. 593 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: You know what. The thing is, you gotta do something 594 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: right now if you take some money, like a lot 595 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: of these dudes do. A lot of them take money. 596 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: You know that's right here. Yeah, but a lot of 597 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 1: these guys take money. The problem is for black people 598 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: that might want to play the game is that they're 599 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 1: gonna get caught because they are watching before they ever 600 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: get in office. They're watching them with hawk eyes. They 601 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: watching every little mood you make. They're checking out your campaign, 602 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: you know, your campaign contributions, how that money is allocated. 603 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: They're looking they sniffing their gray everywhere and the moment 604 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: you do anything, you out of here. Bro. You can't. 605 00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: You black black politicians can't play the same game that 606 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 1: white politicisan uh play when it comes to taking that money. Well, 607 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: it is one of the main things that we teach 608 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,800 Speaker 1: at the m DV Training Cabinet the very first day. 609 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:20,959 Speaker 1: There's no cheating. You don't have to cheat to win. 610 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 1: If you know the rules, you're going to win, period 611 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 1: because the way the rules are designed, they are designed 612 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:35,720 Speaker 1: for us to win. Huh. But if you don't follow 613 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: the rules, you're gonna lose. Listen. I don't care if 614 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: you the mayor, the president. I don't give a damn 615 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: who you are. Okay, Listen. Two thousand fifteen, Barack Obama 616 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 1: signed the Fast Act f A s T. And in 617 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: that Act it clearly states that of the fund spent 618 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 1: in the Transportation Department should be expended to the disadvantaged 619 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 1: business enterprise can unity. Okay, Now, the problem is this 620 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: a mantag business enterprise community is including Becky with the 621 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: good hair, so that's who getting the biggest part of 622 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: the ten percent and Becky with the husband. Probably I 623 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 1: want to straighten something over here fast before we go 624 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: any further. All Bickie's don't have good happen. But that's 625 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 1: the Beckie with the good hair you're talking I'm talking about. 626 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,799 Speaker 1: I'm talking about. That's just a metaphor. What's the good 627 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: hair could be anybody who's cheating, because chances are Becky 628 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: with the good hair do not perform a commercially use 629 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 1: for function. And that's the term that everybody needs to know. 630 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,760 Speaker 1: Go ahead and elaborate. Performing a commercially used for function 631 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 1: is what we talked about about. A nice code. What's 632 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 1: your what's your trade? What do you do? What's your trade? 633 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 1: I make music? Absolutely you know it been in in 634 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 1: all your life? Right now? How I look like go 635 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: and get a music contract when I'm a pipe man? 636 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,240 Speaker 1: But I'm rather douzl enough. Now I got the music 637 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 1: contract to do this big show for the government, and 638 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 1: I can't do nothing. But guess who I'm gonna go to? 639 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 1: Brad said Brad, I got a contract. Well, what you're 640 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: doing with the contract in the first damn place? You 641 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: ain't in the music business. But I knew how to 642 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,279 Speaker 1: rather down to get the contract because I knew I 643 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 1: could go to you and give you some peanuts. Yes, 644 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 1: we gotta stop that. Come on, we gotta stop that. 645 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 1: So a lot of our black leaders is in the mix, 646 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 1: in the way. Get out of the way. You're in 647 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,480 Speaker 1: the people way. And so what we teach you the 648 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 1: MWB E Training Academy is understanding your names code. Because 649 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 1: if you know your name's code and you know my 650 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: name's code, when you see me with a music contract, gee, way, 651 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,319 Speaker 1: what you're doing in this line? Baby, you need to 652 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 1: get in the pipeline. Stay in your lane. Stay in 653 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: your lane cause you're in the way. Now, how are 654 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 1: you gonna come up if I'm in your lane? It's hard, 655 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 1: especially if I know a lot of dotting and everybody 656 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 1: mm hmm. So for you to know the difference, you 657 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 1: need to be taught. Now, I'm not saying this to 658 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: the opposition. I'm speaking even in our community. Let me 659 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 1: tell you something which is embarrassing. I live in Houston, 660 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: Texas with the m WDB Training Academy is absolutely positively free. 661 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 1: The brothers and sisters in Texas won't even take the 662 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 1: time to register. I go anywhere in the country. You 663 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 1: was in the class. I got a room full of 664 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 1: sisters from Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North and South Carolina want 665 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:48,439 Speaker 1: this information, and until we want the information to win, 666 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 1: we're always gonna lose because this is what we're gonna say. Well, 667 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: they keep getting the deal to the same old people, 668 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:59,239 Speaker 1: or I ain't certified what I'm gonna do until we 669 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:03,319 Speaker 1: learned understand how to play the game. Come on, y'all 670 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 1: been in the music and y'all know the music game, 671 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 1: so you gotta know the game. You gotta know the game. 672 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 1: And it's for me to teach my young brothers and 673 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 1: sisters the game. That's my job, that's my college. And 674 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 1: I don't care who defends. I can't tell you how 675 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,840 Speaker 1: many of my friends are my associates hate I'm saying 676 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,359 Speaker 1: these words. But if you go and look at me, 677 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,440 Speaker 1: I've been on the White House steps, I've been at 678 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,759 Speaker 1: the courthouse. I'm gonna speak truth to power no matter 679 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 1: where I'm at, it doesn't matter. I'm not doing it 680 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,279 Speaker 1: for money. I'm doing it because I want to see 681 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,400 Speaker 1: my community grow, Because I feel, like Willie do, feel 682 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 1: we need our fair share. Why are you sure changing 683 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,360 Speaker 1: us If any minority group paid the way here, we 684 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,720 Speaker 1: even't paid the way fifty times over Look, the Korean 685 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:55,879 Speaker 1: just gotta be a pass and what two months something 686 00:41:55,960 --> 00:42:00,960 Speaker 1: like that, Yeah Asian Asian, I'm sorry two months. Yeah, 687 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: And we've been trying to get this anti lynch and 688 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 1: act putting effect forever. Man, I'm just trying to get 689 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 1: an anti black uh, some type of anti black act. 690 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: So we need so so what we need, brothers, in 691 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 1: my opinion is we just need new leadership. I just 692 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 1: think the leaders that we have is outdated and stale, 693 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 1: and the opposition been hearing them talk to them for 694 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:30,000 Speaker 1: twenty five years and ain't done nothing. So so you're right. 695 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 1: But at the at the same time, I just want 696 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,640 Speaker 1: to add that it's important that we understand that we 697 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,879 Speaker 1: can't wait on leadership because some people feel like, well, 698 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 1: since we ain't got nobody leaders, I'm just gonna wait 699 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: till it happens. In the meantime, you gotta get up, 700 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,719 Speaker 1: you gotta push man, You gotta get up and make 701 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 1: it happen for yourself no matter what, because I'm gonna 702 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,280 Speaker 1: tell you something. You know, like, it don't matter who's 703 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 1: in the White House for me, it don't matter who's 704 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 1: the mayor. You don't matter who's the governor, you don't 705 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 1: matter who the senator. Years whatever matter, Willie gonna always 706 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,320 Speaker 1: get his I'm gonna always come up, I'm always find 707 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: a way, my kids gonna always have it. Ain't no 708 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 1: man alive, no man made. A woman can stop me, 709 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 1: period And anything a man can do to me, I 710 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: can do to him. So I hears nothing for real 711 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,880 Speaker 1: and I'm so And it doesn't matter if a Democrat 712 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 1: or Republican gets in office. Look, man, at the end 713 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 1: of the day, it's really about who you like. You 714 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,920 Speaker 1: know who you who you can stand and look at 715 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,440 Speaker 1: and listen to for a four to eight years because 716 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 1: all I'm playing for the same team. When the when 717 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,800 Speaker 1: the when the Republicans decide that they want to uh 718 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,799 Speaker 1: engage in voter suppression and your presidents say, well, you know, 719 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 1: we're trying our best to stop and we were doing 720 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:45,880 Speaker 1: our best. Listen, fan, you wonder why the Democrats appear 721 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,840 Speaker 1: to be so weak. Why do they appear to be 722 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 1: so weak? That is because they benefit when the Republicans 723 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,319 Speaker 1: appeared to be so strong. They still no matter how 724 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,720 Speaker 1: it goes, at the end of the day, they both sides, 725 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,400 Speaker 1: and the benefit the Democrats benefit from the Republicans side. 726 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 1: Any time of Republicans, whatever they do the Democrats benefit 727 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 1: Just like from that with the insurgence on the sixth 728 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,839 Speaker 1: of January, the Democrats benefited from that because a lot 729 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,719 Speaker 1: of Democrats hold those same values as those people that 730 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,919 Speaker 1: rushed the capital. Does a lot of Democrats hold out 731 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:25,280 Speaker 1: those same values. So so so so Willie, absolutely, Willie 732 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 1: and Brad, I don't try to check this out. Look 733 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 1: at our leadership across the country. Look at our leaders, 734 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 1: and I'm talking about African American leaders. Most of them 735 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:46,319 Speaker 1: came from Harvard and all these Ivy League schools, all 736 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 1: these so called quote unquote good schools. So they friendly, 737 00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:59,239 Speaker 1: they friendly. We need some brothers who, yes, we need 738 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:03,759 Speaker 1: a mix of brothers who ain't quite so friendly, like 739 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 1: Bobby Rush out of Chicago. We need some radical brothers 740 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 1: that will tell a friendly brothers. The Holy Player were 741 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,960 Speaker 1: just too friendly. So here's my take. But the Friely 742 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,839 Speaker 1: dudes got the churches, and the churches got the voters. Well, 743 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,839 Speaker 1: that's right, but guess what people in the church, at 744 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:29,240 Speaker 1: least my church, we know bull from the real And again, 745 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 1: if you look at our scope of our leaders, that's significant, 746 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,880 Speaker 1: all of them Harvard and all these other schools which 747 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 1: ain't got no rough EDGs. We need a little rough head. 748 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 1: So here's how I look at it. In America, if 749 00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 1: you're black, you either Toby or Counter. Ain't no in between. 750 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:54,840 Speaker 1: You either Toby or Kumter. So who are you? Ain't no, 751 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:59,560 Speaker 1: ain't no in between, ain't no other name? Toby boy Kumpter. 752 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:05,120 Speaker 1: And until we established and understand that because a lot 753 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 1: of brothers try to act like the Kunter. But you 754 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:12,799 Speaker 1: know you Toby, be Toby. It's okay. You don't have 755 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,959 Speaker 1: to get around us and be Kuter be Counter all 756 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,880 Speaker 1: the time. So now do you worry about what happens 757 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 1: to your little pocketbook because you around quote unquote the 758 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 1: elite and you Toby wrong answer. And that's what the 759 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 1: problem is. We need more stronger brothers. Period. I think 760 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 1: you got period. I think you got Toby Counter and 761 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:43,120 Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith. Come on, Willie, everything was going cool? 762 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 1: How Steve am getting? You know the same way that 763 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,080 Speaker 1: that that Candice as got in? Bro? You know what 764 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,920 Speaker 1: all that all that book dancing and yeah, well that's 765 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,719 Speaker 1: that's that's that's Toby. And no, no, no, no, no no, 766 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:03,600 Speaker 1: because keep in mind, you know Toby Toby had it's 767 00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,440 Speaker 1: Toby had coop the kid. They deep down inside of him. 768 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 1: You know, he still was cool the kid. They because 769 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,719 Speaker 1: keep in mind, Toby continued even when they chopped his foot, 770 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,480 Speaker 1: he continued to try to run. He continued to make 771 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:19,120 Speaker 1: a break heat. Toby was never they Toby was never 772 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 1: satisfied with being a slave. He never he never accepted that. 773 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 1: He til the day he died, he never accepted that. 774 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:29,800 Speaker 1: So you know, you know, I gotta but it's again, 775 00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,440 Speaker 1: that's my that's my opinion, and everybody different. But again, 776 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,960 Speaker 1: you know, whether they I don't know how you are, 777 00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,839 Speaker 1: but I'd be willing to say, Okay, I gotta damn 778 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 1: on you, thank God, oh man. And guess what I've 779 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,800 Speaker 1: have seeing something.

And let me tell you something. Our 782 00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,720 Speaker 1: young brothers and sisters coming up now, they don't remember 783 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 1: all that old crazy stuff. The millenniums ain't trying to 784 00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:59,920 Speaker 1: hear that. They don't understand what you mean they did 785 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,080 Speaker 1: to me. They don't know nothing about what happened a 786 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 1: long time ago. And that's what we need. We need 787 00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,880 Speaker 1: some people who don't care about that what used to happen, 788 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,560 Speaker 1: what had happened.

Anyway, UM, what I realized 821 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,480 Speaker 1: about playing in somebody's organization is that you just a 822 00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:35,640 Speaker 1: piece of the organization and you do whatever you have 823 00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:39,080 Speaker 1: to do to get what you need to get. And 824 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,640 Speaker 1: so I realized earlier on that to be able to 825 00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 1: make it any life, you gotta do your own thing. 826 00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,160 Speaker 1: So I cut a deal with the company I work 827 00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,440 Speaker 1: for to move back to Houston and start a supply company, 828 00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,560 Speaker 1: which I did, and I did real well, and I 829 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,879 Speaker 1: gave a brother job and the first thing he brought 830 00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,799 Speaker 1: to the line item was piped mm hmm and the 831 00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 1: rest of in history. And that was back in eighty four. 832 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,200 Speaker 1: What areuse some notable jobs that oh my god, man 833 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:13,759 Speaker 1: then supply pipe to the lasting pipeline right here in 834 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:18,000 Speaker 1: Houston recently in the last year, so we supplied uh 835 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:23,480 Speaker 1: four miles and ninety six inch pipe to the what's 836 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,279 Speaker 1: the name of the job right here in UH It'll 837 00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,080 Speaker 1: come to me in a minute. But we've done project 838 00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,239 Speaker 1: stuff like on two eight eight, you know we do 839 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:37,480 Speaker 1: major project is uh a highway here in Houston, a 840 00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:42,040 Speaker 1: freeway here in Houston, and um Mr Wade laid the 841 00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:46,279 Speaker 1: reboart up under that particular freeway and I know that 842 00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:51,120 Speaker 1: pay to go Sillon dollars. But God is good. God 843 00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,680 Speaker 1: is good, you know. I think. I think what happens 844 00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:57,560 Speaker 1: in life is uh, you don't count it. You don't 845 00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 1: you don't count it In Dollargy County and how you 846 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,359 Speaker 1: can help people, we had a lot of people, get 847 00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:02,719 Speaker 1: a lot of people job. One of the things that 848 00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 1: I'm being on man is paying taxes back into community 849 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,520 Speaker 1: and hyding people that look like us. Why can't we 850 00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,920 Speaker 1: be employers other than having to always go work for 851 00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,720 Speaker 1: Mr Toby you know. One of the things about tax 852 00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,160 Speaker 1: dollars that you spend. We put the tax dollars in, 853 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 1: and the best thing I like to do is keep 854 00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:21,880 Speaker 1: putting it back in. How you gonna keep win if 855 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,880 Speaker 1: you don't keep putting it back in, you know exactly. 856 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:31,200 Speaker 1: And until our leaders understand that that's what it's about, 857 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,719 Speaker 1: were always gonna end up in the last place. We 858 00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,200 Speaker 1: gotta we gotta get a new leadership. Guys. We gotta 859 00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 1: we gotta change the leadership. Just that simple, you know. 860 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,160 Speaker 1: That's why. That's why it's so important for us to vote. 861 00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:45,560 Speaker 1: A lot of people think that voting you know, local 862 00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:52,520 Speaker 1: does not affect us in absolutely Bigo, more so than 863 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 1: voting for from telling. I'm telling man, we need we 864 00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:59,880 Speaker 1: need leaders locally that understand what's going on in our community. 865 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,040 Speaker 1: You know, yeah, we do it. That's why again, like 866 00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:07,280 Speaker 1: I said, man, listen, anybody knows me, No, I support 867 00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,120 Speaker 1: Bars miles to the hill because I personally see what 868 00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,800 Speaker 1: Bars do for our community, not to what somebody to 869 00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:16,520 Speaker 1: tell me. He's a squabbler. He fights for the people, 870 00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,359 Speaker 1: big time for the people, and his love ain't about 871 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,239 Speaker 1: how much he can get, It's about how much he 872 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:25,319 Speaker 1: can help other people. Yeah, and I know that about Yeah, 873 00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:28,520 Speaker 1: So I I know very few politicians that I could 874 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,719 Speaker 1: say that about, and I know quite a few of them. 875 00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,799 Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying I don't like what they do. 876 00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,160 Speaker 1: And everybody got their own issue that they like to 877 00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:38,279 Speaker 1: work on, and I get that part. But again, we 878 00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:42,800 Speaker 1: need more than turkeys for Thanksgiving, bicucles for the kids 879 00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,319 Speaker 1: for Christmas. You know, we need some contracts, We need 880 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:52,239 Speaker 1: some opportunities in our community, We need some always kind 881 00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:56,759 Speaker 1: of feel a certain way about that annual thing that 882 00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 1: you know, uh, giving out turkeys just for Thanksgiving, you know, 883 00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,600 Speaker 1: like you know that's one meal out of three d 884 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,319 Speaker 1: and sixty out of the year, you know, and that's 885 00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:13,040 Speaker 1: that's a that's a lot of absent meals, you know, Like, 886 00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 1: you know, I don't the whole thing with just you know, 887 00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,200 Speaker 1: just it's being charitable is good. I think it's good 888 00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:23,080 Speaker 1: to have a day that commemorates that, you know, kind 889 00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,839 Speaker 1: of like like prompts people to action. That's kind of cool, 890 00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:28,440 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, reminds people, hey, this is 891 00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:33,400 Speaker 1: given whatever. But uh, we do need the type of 892 00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 1: programs that that are reoccurring. You know, like it's not 893 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:41,640 Speaker 1: just a thing that happens once a year, and you know, 894 00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:45,600 Speaker 1: to be a daily those programs are there, They are there, 895 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:50,879 Speaker 1: They are there. Listen, you name a program and I'll 896 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,400 Speaker 1: show you where the money is your marked to go 897 00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,200 Speaker 1: to us as a part of it. But what happens 898 00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,880 Speaker 1: to that money though? If what happens to the money, 899 00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:03,000 Speaker 1: what happens to the it is because we're not knowledgeable 900 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 1: how to get it. It goes back to where it 901 00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 1: came from. No are they use what's called the good 902 00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:20,480 Speaker 1: faith effort. Good faith for me, We tried to find somebody, 903 00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,719 Speaker 1: but we could So now we're we're gonna give it 904 00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,080 Speaker 1: to who we want to and as you live back 905 00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:28,799 Speaker 1: in with the good half. So so is this part 906 00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:32,560 Speaker 1: of the discretionary fund what you talked about, both discretionary 907 00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:37,200 Speaker 1: and mandatory. Listen, every dime spending this country comes along 908 00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:44,879 Speaker 1: with minority participation. Everything everything we do publicly, everything got 909 00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:50,160 Speaker 1: a minority goal in it. Everything. Now, what's the purpose 910 00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,200 Speaker 1: of having a minority goal in a project if you 911 00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,560 Speaker 1: don't know how to get it out? So going to 912 00:55:56,600 --> 00:56:01,239 Speaker 1: get certified ain't nothing? Are you qualified side to get 913 00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:05,799 Speaker 1: it out of the pile? That's the key. What's an 914 00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:10,640 Speaker 1: example of some jobs that a person can like, perhaps 915 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:14,879 Speaker 1: laying a government contract where it doesn't take a high 916 00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:22,480 Speaker 1: degree of education. Okay, very good question. COVID COVID COVID 917 00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:27,160 Speaker 1: nineteen was just rampant. People wouldn't even go to get 918 00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:31,000 Speaker 1: those shots, go get tested or nothing. I recommended a 919 00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:32,959 Speaker 1: couple of sisters in this town, and I'm not gonna 920 00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,200 Speaker 1: call their name, put a business together and guess what 921 00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:39,799 Speaker 1: they did? When do to do knocking? And convinced Ms 922 00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:43,600 Speaker 1: Helen and her family to go take the tests. And 923 00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:47,360 Speaker 1: every time they did that, they got broke off. H 924 00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,279 Speaker 1: You ain't got to be no doctor. You ain't gotta 925 00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:52,839 Speaker 1: be noneing. All you gotta do is be smart enough 926 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,920 Speaker 1: to know how to put the deal together. Contact Tracy 927 00:56:56,160 --> 00:57:00,279 Speaker 1: was a good contract. A lot of stuff, Um, what's that? 928 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,160 Speaker 1: What's what's our board? Named? Tadfolo? His son got a 929 00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:07,160 Speaker 1: got a van to ride around doing testing. So it's 930 00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,560 Speaker 1: a lot of things. You gotta be innovative and creative. 931 00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:14,520 Speaker 1: You're you're following me? Does listen? Almost everything in America 932 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:20,240 Speaker 1: got a public component to you. Just gotta know you're lane. 933 00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,720 Speaker 1: Do you have to be does your business have to 934 00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:30,520 Speaker 1: be established. No, no, absolutely not. Listen. Listen. If you're 935 00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:34,920 Speaker 1: a minority, you broke. So the most important thing is 936 00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,520 Speaker 1: I'm broke, ain't got no money, needs to help. But 937 00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:43,439 Speaker 1: guess what, do you have the knowledge? See when once 938 00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,120 Speaker 1: you get the knowledge, you don't have that excuse no more. 939 00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,520 Speaker 1: So what we do is we run out and start 940 00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:54,160 Speaker 1: these businesses but don't have the knowledge because we think, oh, 941 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:56,480 Speaker 1: I want to be a truck driver. I'm gonna broker 942 00:57:56,520 --> 00:58:00,640 Speaker 1: truck stipe because I know my boy got two trucks. No, 943 00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:03,960 Speaker 1: you gotta know the game. You gotta know the business. 944 00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:08,360 Speaker 1: Being a minority. Don't say nothing about how much money 945 00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:12,320 Speaker 1: you start out with. In fact, from zero to one 946 00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,520 Speaker 1: point three to million knowledge, you consider the minority as 947 00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:19,080 Speaker 1: an individual. From zero to twenty three point nine eight 948 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,919 Speaker 1: million dollars over appeared to three years as a corporation, 949 00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:28,080 Speaker 1: you consider the minority. So whatever asset you can get 950 00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:31,320 Speaker 1: between zero and one point three two million before you 951 00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,080 Speaker 1: get tapped out, it's where you need to be. Don't 952 00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:35,720 Speaker 1: you want to be tapped out? Everybody out to be 953 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,440 Speaker 1: tapped out at one point three million. And guess what 954 00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,280 Speaker 1: when you look at the grand scheme of thing. One 955 00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:46,000 Speaker 1: point three to million ain't deadly, that's deadly. You give 956 00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:53,720 Speaker 1: thirty three million Americans, African Americans one point three to million, Now, 957 00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:59,440 Speaker 1: how much money it is? Okay, thirty three million Americans, 958 00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:05,720 Speaker 1: you give them all one million dollars, that's okay. There 959 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:11,000 Speaker 1: ain't no money, all right, there's not a lot of money. 960 00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:14,160 Speaker 1: That's not a lot of money. It's not a lot 961 00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:21,760 Speaker 1: of money. When when Biden just signed a bill, look 962 00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:25,200 Speaker 1: the corona, the care of that.

How 964 00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:36,160 Speaker 1: many people turned down fourteen hush? Yeah, So don't tell 965 00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:41,200 Speaker 1: me you can't generate it. Now, it was felled out 966 00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,880 Speaker 1: black and white. If you did X, Y Z whatever, 967 00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna get fourteen hundred dollars for you and four 968 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,640 Speaker 1: hundred dollars for the kids and all that other stuff. 969 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:50,919 Speaker 1: It's felled out black and white. And that's how all 970 00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,280 Speaker 1: the other money is. We just don't take the time 971 00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:57,840 Speaker 1: to go to find out. They didn't. Well, I didn't 972 00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:02,680 Speaker 1: get so so when you think about is that a 973 01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:06,640 Speaker 1: lot of money? It's three trillion dollar When you look 974 01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,640 Speaker 1: at it like that, one point three to no. Not 975 01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:11,560 Speaker 1: if you break it up and get everybody one point 976 01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:14,280 Speaker 1: three to million. Now, that ain't no bad, but how much? 977 01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:18,520 Speaker 1: How many million? One point one million? That's what they 978 01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:22,720 Speaker 1: need to give back. What I'm saying is to tap 979 01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:28,320 Speaker 1: us out, to tap us out as minorities no more.
