Speaker 1: Get up, gettle boys. It's back and reoaded all in
Speaker 1: your mind. Yeah, and no deep throating. This is for
Speaker 1: the streets, the reel, the railroading, the disenfranchise, the truth,
Speaker 1: the scapegoating. And they ain't know when we speak the truth,
Speaker 1: so they ain't quoted because we wrote it. The North
Speaker 1: South East coat is g b my tree, keeping your
Speaker 1: head bobbing. It ain't no stopping and wants to be
Speaker 1: trying by. And then the system is so corrupt they
Speaker 1: threw the rock out their heads and then blame it
Speaker 1: on us. Don't get it twisted on code and me
Speaker 1: and danceing for no buttment biscuits. It's Willie d y'all
Speaker 1: scar faces in the building. Collectively we are the ghetto boys,
Speaker 1: reloaded with another episode of information and instructions you navigate
Speaker 1: through this crazy, wild, beautiful world. I guess today Gary Wade,
Speaker 1: the founder of m W D b E Academy, and
Speaker 1: exactly to people, whatever is that you do? Man, that's
Speaker 1: a good question with it, d Hey, We teach, we
Speaker 1: teach our people how to get involved in the process,
Speaker 1: you know. And when I said the process, that means
Speaker 1: all this public money that's floating around you know, we
Speaker 1: need to we need to know about it. So at
Speaker 1: the MWDB Training Academy, that's what we specialize in. Right,
Speaker 1: how what walked me through the steps I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: an aspiring entrepreneur. I guess I'm my entrepreneur. I'm putting
Speaker 1: up the money. I got my money, I got my
Speaker 1: D B A or whatever, the regular stuff. Uh. And
Speaker 1: you know I want to get some of these government contracts, man,
Speaker 1: because I know that's what a How the goal is?
Speaker 1: How do I get in? What's my first step? What
Speaker 1: do I need to know? Well? Well, when people ask
Speaker 1: me that question, the first thing you need to know
Speaker 1: is how am I trained to know what I know?
Speaker 1: So I have a saying that I used a lot.
Speaker 1: If you knew better, you do better. And so being
Speaker 1: an expiring entrepreneur in business go along with a lot
Speaker 1: of know how as to how you're gonna be involved
Speaker 1: in whatever you're trying to do. So with this public money,
Speaker 1: the first thing most people think is you gotta be certified, certified, certified, Well, certify,
Speaker 1: what if it's certified minority? We came to the world
Speaker 1: certified black, So why we need to be certified? I
Speaker 1: don't get it. But that's a part of the program,
Speaker 1: so let's jump through that hoop. Most importantly, what we
Speaker 1: do it the MWDB Training Academy is we teach you
Speaker 1: how not to just be certified, but how to be
Speaker 1: qualified because qualification is the key to being involved in
Speaker 1: the process. So I have to be certified, you know,
Speaker 1: will the yes and no again, I just told you.
Speaker 1: If you're look in the mirror, you're already black, So
Speaker 1: you certified minority. No, you don't need a license, just
Speaker 1: depending on what type of business you're in. If you're
Speaker 1: a lawyer, you need law license. If you're talking about it,
Speaker 1: some type of license to do business with the city,
Speaker 1: the government. No, you just need a NACE code, Okay.
Speaker 1: A NAICE code describe what type of business you're in. Okay.
Speaker 1: So if you're a plumber and you have a specific
Speaker 1: nice code for plumbers. If you're electrician, same thing. If
Speaker 1: you are radio star, if you're an entertainer, whatever you do,
Speaker 1: you need a NAICE code. And at the MWDB Training Academy,
Speaker 1: what we do is we teach you how to go
Speaker 1: and specifically pick a NACE code that best fit what
Speaker 1: you do. Answer a question, go ahead. This is a
Speaker 1: lot of money in in in in this type of
Speaker 1: funding from very good, very good question bred. In America,
Speaker 1: we spend roughly five trillion dollars annually. That's the American budget,
Speaker 1: three trillion mandatory spending, the other two discretion. And here's
Speaker 1: what I want you to think about it. In America's
Speaker 1: about thirteen percent African America's We pay taxes on everything
Speaker 1: like everybody else. So it seems like to me that
Speaker 1: of that five trillion dollars need to figure out how
Speaker 1: to get back. Now, the ruth and regulations say it do,
Speaker 1: but we have to teach ourselves how to get it back,
Speaker 1: and it has to start with leadership. See, the people
Speaker 1: that we elect to represent us should know this stuff.
Speaker 1: In ninety nine percent of them don't know. And I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about something I heard. I'm talking about when
Speaker 1: I talk to them, very few of them really understand.
Speaker 1: The most important rule in RAGS when it comes down
Speaker 1: to minority participation, and that's forty nine cf are Part
Speaker 1: twenty six. It speaks clearly on how minorities should be
Speaker 1: involved in the process. I'm so glad you came and
Speaker 1: I appreciate you coming out. Man because you know, in
Speaker 1: the communities that we grow up and we were thinking
Speaker 1: about you know, basketball, we're thinking about football, you know,
Speaker 1: in sports to get money. We're thinking about uh wrapping
Speaker 1: to get money. We were thinking about hustling to get money.
Speaker 1: And for you to sit here and tell us that
Speaker 1: it's that's another way to get money, and that's another
Speaker 1: way to get a lot of money, a lot of money.
Speaker 1: A lot of money is a beautiful thing, bro, because
Speaker 1: we we we have no idea in the neighborhood, in
Speaker 1: our communities. You know what I mean. Your odds are
Speaker 1: odds are actually better doing it his way if you
Speaker 1: want to really come up and get rich, if you
Speaker 1: really want to come out and be rich, rich, the arts,
Speaker 1: the odds, your arts, uh greater to go with the
Speaker 1: route that he's going as a businessman's rich, bro, it's rich.
Speaker 1: You know, You're not gonna never tell you that. But
Speaker 1: the man rich, I'm never gonna say. I'm never gonna
Speaker 1: say that rich and spirit. I'm rich in knowledge, yeah,
Speaker 1: and here to share it. You spoke about us having
Speaker 1: needing thirteenth sent since we represent thirteen cent at the minimum,
Speaker 1: we should get thirteeth percent of the budget, right, So
Speaker 1: how much are we currently getting less than one? That's
Speaker 1: cold bloody. I don't think about this. I don't you
Speaker 1: think about this. If the three of us win in
Speaker 1: business and you put in thirteen cent, and you put
Speaker 1: in thirteen per cent, don't you gonna at least get
Speaker 1: thirteen percent back of the profits? Do you know a
Speaker 1: better investment than the US government? No, not a one.
Speaker 1: That's col man. That's good. So now listen, guys. The
Speaker 1: money is there and it's written in the language. But
Speaker 1: I want you to think about this with the I'm
Speaker 1: y'all big brother and our daddy give me a thousand
Speaker 1: dollars and said Garrett, I want you to break bread
Speaker 1: with both of your little brothers evenly. So that means
Speaker 1: I need to give you thirty three Hunter, and give
Speaker 1: you thirty three Hunter, but I give you twenty since
Speaker 1: you to brother, I get him left Hunter, since he's
Speaker 1: the little brother. You don't know no better, so I
Speaker 1: keep the rest. So now, when Daddy show up and
Speaker 1: you said, Danny, thank you for that, Daddy gonna say
Speaker 1: how much he gave you showed you out of eight hundred,
Speaker 1: I shot him out of til Hunter, who I got
Speaker 1: a problem with But see, I'm gonna need that out
Speaker 1: of that thousand, I'm gonna need that. Uh, you know
Speaker 1: you're gonna needs Yeah, I'm I'm gonna need the rest
Speaker 1: of my money d three. But but whenly, here's the problem. See,
Speaker 1: you did not know how much you're supposed to get
Speaker 1: because I just gave it to you. But I know
Speaker 1: Daddy told me to break bread three ways. But I
Speaker 1: was heard and say that, Well, you still obviously didn't
Speaker 1: here because you couldn't count. Because if you count, you
Speaker 1: to ask for your thirty three thirty three thirty three.
Speaker 1: The point is the federal government sending rules and regulations
Speaker 1: down with the money, and they say, here's what to
Speaker 1: do with the money. But if you don't know what
Speaker 1: to do with the money, aw, you're gonna know how
Speaker 1: to ask for him. You know where we grew up.
Speaker 1: But in the hood. If I owe you a hundred
Speaker 1: dollars and you coming in and said, gee, give me
Speaker 1: my hunter dollar and I'll give you teen, and you
Speaker 1: burn off and lead the ninety, I ain't gonna throw
Speaker 1: you down on the ground and put the nine in
Speaker 1: your pocket. I'm gonna keep it. And that's what's been
Speaker 1: happening to us. The money has been coming to us,
Speaker 1: but we don't know how to ask for So do
Speaker 1: we have to ask the federal government that do we
Speaker 1: have to ask a local or state? You know what?
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. And I don't like to
Speaker 1: throw nobody under the bus. I really don't, but we
Speaker 1: need to because I live here in Houston, Texas, and
Speaker 1: I know y'all followed the news just recently our mayor,
Speaker 1: Mayor Turner, and I will kind of judge Mayor Judge
Speaker 1: her Dogo just wrote a letter to Hood h telling
Speaker 1: Hood that the Texas government Abbott would not give the
Speaker 1: money to the sit of Houston that came for Harvard.
Speaker 1: It went through the g l O. So what happens
Speaker 1: is the Texas General Land Office. So what happened is
Speaker 1: the money came down from the Feds to the state.
Speaker 1: Y'all know, the money for Harvard was ir mark for Houston,
Speaker 1: but instead of Abbott sending the money to Houston, he
Speaker 1: ran it through the Texas General Land Office. Illegal. It
Speaker 1: ain't illegal, it's unethical. So what Sylvester and Judge Jadago
Speaker 1: did was wrote a letter to Hood and say, hey,
Speaker 1: they ain't giving us the money, and so a couple
Speaker 1: of days later the story changed. Now the money is
Speaker 1: coming to Houston. Here's my point. We as African Americans
Speaker 1: need to write the government and tell them that they
Speaker 1: ain't giving us our money. But other than that, we
Speaker 1: need to be able to go to our elected officials
Speaker 1: and explain it to them. But they already knew. I
Speaker 1: just said ninety nine of them, don't. They have no clue,
Speaker 1: absolutely no clue. And I'm not going on someone somebody
Speaker 1: told me I'm going on interviews, and let me tell
Speaker 1: you something. I've only met one elected efficient in this
Speaker 1: town that understand that, and that the Senator bars Mound.
Speaker 1: The rest of them don't have a clue and ain't
Speaker 1: trying to hear it. I'm sorry to say that it's bad.
Speaker 1: It's bad. It's bad, and so it is coming on
Speaker 1: us to jack up our elected officiers and say, hey,
Speaker 1: we need to be more involved in the process. But
Speaker 1: the way you're gonna be able to hold them accolendar
Speaker 1: is you have to know the rules. Man, How do
Speaker 1: these people even get in office? Man? Remind me of
Speaker 1: police officers who don't know the law. Their their law
Speaker 1: enforcement agents, and they don't know the law. I mean
Speaker 1: you of the times you have common citizens explaining to
Speaker 1: them what the law is and they're like, well I
Speaker 1: didn't know that. And you know again again, I don't
Speaker 1: like to throw people under the bus, but you gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta tell the truth. Tell the truth, Shane the devil.
Speaker 1: You know, I would elected officials in this marketplace, not
Speaker 1: just Houston, but all around the country don't understand this lane.
Speaker 1: They just don't. And instead of them allowing somebody who's
Speaker 1: been trained in this, I've been doing this for a
Speaker 1: decade every single day. I know the rules and regulations
Speaker 1: for the damn good. I challenge any lawyer anybody in
Speaker 1: this area, and I would be able to hold my
Speaker 1: own on conversation all the way up to the White House.
Speaker 1: The key is this, here's what I know. The Office
Speaker 1: of Management and Budget annually sends out the budget to
Speaker 1: all the states. In those documents, it clearly states that
Speaker 1: disadvantage business enterprises or minorities or MWB either, whatever you
Speaker 1: want to call them, should get a piece of the pie,
Speaker 1: a fair piece. But if you don't know how big
Speaker 1: a piece you're supposed to get, if they give you something,
Speaker 1: you just to take. I've never seen a group of
Speaker 1: people just happy to get a little something when they
Speaker 1: should get more. Where that comes from not used to
Speaker 1: getting anything? Absolutely, you a little big, you feel like
Speaker 1: you Well. Another thing that's happening in our community, guys,
Speaker 1: we got a lot of so called African American elites
Speaker 1: that they're doing all right. Yes they're doing all right,
Speaker 1: but they don't want to make sure people right. So
Speaker 1: one of the reason I started the m w dB
Speaker 1: Training Academy because to be able to reach, you gotta teach,
Speaker 1: and so that's what we do. We teach people how
Speaker 1: to recognize and understand when it's rilf and when it's
Speaker 1: RALF right. I saw it on the website it said
Speaker 1: although we catered to all, our focus is to reach
Speaker 1: those in the black communities who have been left out
Speaker 1: of the process for so long. We are a real
Speaker 1: community of individuals and entities who learned and trained together
Speaker 1: through live online sessions. M w dB E Training Academy
Speaker 1: trains regular people and the simple and effective discipline of
Speaker 1: understanding and engaging in various sources of public funding. I
Speaker 1: like that man, public funding. Give me that money, man,
Speaker 1: Where that money at? Man? How you get to that money?
Speaker 1: When you get that money. Man, the way you get
Speaker 1: to the money is read. Okay, listen, I just read. Listen,
Speaker 1: President Biking Biden just did a two trillion dollar but
Speaker 1: for Corona increasingly in them two trillion dollars. I guarantee
Speaker 1: you there's some minority of anticipation. Yeah. Now, off the
Speaker 1: top of your head, get the thing and at least
Speaker 1: thirteen percent of it, at least thirteen So thirteen percent,
Speaker 1: let's a ten percent uh to training as two hundred
Speaker 1: billion dollars. We should be able to get two hundred
Speaker 1: your dollars coming to our community without any questions asked
Speaker 1: because we pay taxes for minority. You know, it's it's
Speaker 1: a big, it's a shitty mess in my opinion, because
Speaker 1: you got to think of how many people you know
Speaker 1: fit in the minority. You gotta think, you gotta think
Speaker 1: about that's a very good question. That's a very good
Speaker 1: question he was talking about. I'm talking about straight black.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Black Africana, not not Hispan, not
Speaker 1: Middle Eastern, and not women, not white women, none of that. Okay,
Speaker 1: So now here's the law says we're talking roughly dB
Speaker 1: E that stands for disadvantage business Enterprise. Okay, Now a
Speaker 1: dB E is everybody, including Becky withd a good hair mhm.
Speaker 1: And I guarantee you if you look at the spared
Speaker 1: to study of the despared of study of the despared
Speaker 1: to study all over the United States of America, back
Speaker 1: with the good hair, it's walking away with roughly nine
Speaker 1: percent of the so called team. So the other one
Speaker 1: percent is split among the other. So this is how
Speaker 1: they stiffer us time and time again. Bro, with this
Speaker 1: minority ship. It's time out for that, bro. We need
Speaker 1: we got We Black people in this country have a
Speaker 1: specific set of problems, and we need those problems we
Speaker 1: addressed to us and us only just like just just
Speaker 1: like other groups go out and say we got a
Speaker 1: specific set of problems and we need help with this
Speaker 1: of that, we need help with black with with what
Speaker 1: we got going on Black specifically, Let's kill this minority ship, man,
Speaker 1: cause ain't nobody else riding for us. Take us, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on series, bro, look yeah, exactly take us out
Speaker 1: because we yeah, you want to do do minority get
Speaker 1: at it, but we need to have our own ship
Speaker 1: them because we could, we could, we get we keep
Speaker 1: getting left behind because we you know, they get to
Speaker 1: throw these titles around and when they say minorities, okay,
Speaker 1: that means let me get out of the so called allocate. See,
Speaker 1: all this stuff came back in nineteen sixty four with
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixty four Civil Rights Act, and when that
Speaker 1: went down, they weren't talking about all of the other ethnicities.
Speaker 1: In fact, remember walking across the Edmund Pettish Bridge in Alabama,
Speaker 1: I didn't see no white women. I didn't see no Hispanics.
Speaker 1: I didn't see none of them getting bitten by dogs
Speaker 1: and by ropes. I saw black people. Now, the nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty fold Civil Rights Act, everybody knows Dr Marl Luther King,
Speaker 1: he was advocating on the behalf of African Americans. Now
Speaker 1: since sixty four, or they're about up to now, Becky
Speaker 1: with the good hair and her group have figured out
Speaker 1: a way to manipulate and manipulate and manipulate. They didn't
Speaker 1: get up in there so much. Yeah, So what has
Speaker 1: that happened, in my opinion is somebody got to draw
Speaker 1: a line, like Willard just said and said time out. Becky.
Speaker 1: You're not disadvantage, you are not unpriv you are a
Speaker 1: white woman you privileged. Yes, you're part of the privilege.
Speaker 1: But they didn't figure out how to rather DAWs them
Speaker 1: and they didn't get up in there, and they've taken
Speaker 1: the biggest part of it. Now, again, I'm not prejudiced.
Speaker 1: I'm not against no race, no nationality. But that's not fair.
Speaker 1: And then that covers the whole United States of African Americans. Correct,
Speaker 1: that's everywhere. That's so if I had to fix it,
Speaker 1: here's how, here's what I would do. And I'm already
Speaker 1: working on this, and I have design and putting a
Speaker 1: bill together the call the Bars Act b a r
Speaker 1: Act Black America Reforming and what they need to do
Speaker 1: if they really want to pack fair. They're talking about
Speaker 1: all this reparation and stuff. Damn with that. Remember that
Speaker 1: five tree and hold on, I'm gonna get hold on.
Speaker 1: You know that five tree and dollars that I told
Speaker 1: you about. So instead of giving us some reparation, why
Speaker 1: don't you take that budget, that and your budget and
Speaker 1: break us off ten percent every year? That's five hundred billion,
Speaker 1: that's right now, hold on. You don't have to give
Speaker 1: it to nobody individually. Why don't you establish banks and
Speaker 1: all this other stuff like you do and put it
Speaker 1: in there every month, and now sending that money to
Speaker 1: black banks all around the country. Okay, and then those communities,
Speaker 1: those black banks know which African American business is qualified
Speaker 1: to get loan. So, in other words, when you go
Speaker 1: try to borrow money and go to Bank America, if
Speaker 1: you African American, chances are you wasting your time because
Speaker 1: they're gonna get you to do all the paperwork and
Speaker 1: all that. But no, theyin't gonna lend your quarter. They
Speaker 1: already know that if you had that money coming into
Speaker 1: a fund where African Americans was over the board, did
Speaker 1: all the stuff like all other businesses do, then that
Speaker 1: would change. In other words, that money comes directly to us.
Speaker 1: Felt that nobody tell us what to do with it.
Speaker 1: We lend it to ourselves. And the only reason why
Speaker 1: we can't come up man in in this society right now,
Speaker 1: it's because these banks uh Morgan, Stanley, Chase, uh uh
Speaker 1: Bank of America, Wells Fargo, they refused to loan black
Speaker 1: businesses money. And if they do, they if they do
Speaker 1: it sky high, and if they do it in the
Speaker 1: interest rates. So listen, Brad, I had this conversation with
Speaker 1: people all the time. If you put thirteen percent into
Speaker 1: the economy, why you need to borrow something that's my
Speaker 1: damn money. Anyway, I don't need to borrow nothing. I
Speaker 1: just need you to give me that back with some interests.
Speaker 1: So we're going back to the point that you made
Speaker 1: about establishing you know, uh funds and stuff with the
Speaker 1: banks and having black people having access. That's cool, but
Speaker 1: I want to check to straight to my motherfucking pocket.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, man, but I just get piste off. They
Speaker 1: want to give. They got reparations for every damn body
Speaker 1: in the universe except black people. And we know, and
Speaker 1: we know the only reason why they haven't done it
Speaker 1: is because they're intimidated by black people, and they fear
Speaker 1: black people, and they hate on black people and and
Speaker 1: hate and hate is the biggest one. Just straight up hate.
Speaker 1: That's why they burned down Tulsa. Hating jealous asses. That's
Speaker 1: what that was about. So so so I've been I've
Speaker 1: been hot. I been hot, but we have to do
Speaker 1: one or two things. We got to get our elected
Speaker 1: offishers to do different. But now, don't you think about this,
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna call it a name. Y'all can
Speaker 1: figure out we got some elected fishers that look like
Speaker 1: us being in Congress for twenty plus years, ain't done nothing.
Speaker 1: So hold on, how in the head do you think,
Speaker 1: how in the hell do you think that somebody have
Speaker 1: been in Congress for twenty years, twenty five years gonna
Speaker 1: go tell Mitch McConnell to do something that he ain't
Speaker 1: been able to do in twenty years. So here's my
Speaker 1: my fix. Let's get some new people in there who
Speaker 1: ain't trying to hear what Mitch talking about because we're
Speaker 1: so easy right now, guys to get along. I heard,
Speaker 1: uh Carbinsman clap clap burn says something about what let's
Speaker 1: work on? Uh, what's the immunity? Qualified immunity? How the
Speaker 1: hell are you gonna work on that? That needs to
Speaker 1: be the first thing. What does that mean? Qualified immunity?
Speaker 1: What does that mean? That's the issue with the George
Speaker 1: Floyd bill. They want to take that out to allow
Speaker 1: the police to be able to do what the police
Speaker 1: to get away with murder. Yeah, yeah, that means that
Speaker 1: that needs to be the first thing to come out
Speaker 1: to table. But listen, and we're talking about George floyda
Speaker 1: all we all know George Floyd our homeboy right here,
Speaker 1: George home. Here's the problem. The problem is we moaned
Speaker 1: for George Floyd and his family, but we need our
Speaker 1: money too, for sure, So we believe in police reform.
Speaker 1: But now we need to figure out economic reform. And
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. White folks would love for
Speaker 1: us to talk about George Floyd and take our mind
Speaker 1: off the money, but we need to keep our mind
Speaker 1: on the money because I guarantee you find this changes
Speaker 1: a whole lot of things, a whole lot of things. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's important that you also mentioned that
Speaker 1: there are black people out there that want us to
Speaker 1: take our mind off the money because they're scared. They're scared.
Speaker 1: Massy're gonna say something. You better stop, You better stop
Speaker 1: the getting stop talking like that exactly, and let me
Speaker 1: tell you something. You're going about challenging at the time.
Speaker 1: And guess what. Guess what I'm talking. I am damned
Speaker 1: if you do and damned if you don't. Here's my attitude.
Speaker 1: You didn't chuck all my money anyway, So what I
Speaker 1: got to be quiet for you might well fighting. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. I make more money raising mo hell,
Speaker 1: then most people do. What did he say, let me
Speaker 1: tell you, you know what my job is. I cut
Speaker 1: our white folks, then they write me a check. What's
Speaker 1: What's I explained that let me, Well, you're cutting out
Speaker 1: because number one, remember I told you that money is
Speaker 1: allocated for me and you ain't trying to get it
Speaker 1: to me. So I got to cut you out to
Speaker 1: get my money in flame to the Then after I cut,
Speaker 1: then you see, oh, you're right with a purpose like
Speaker 1: parting with exactly when I said, I don't mean physically speak,
Speaker 1: I just have to speak kind of bad to it.
Speaker 1: But here is one thing that I found out about
Speaker 1: business people. If you show him the business, there'll be
Speaker 1: more app to do it. But how are you gonna
Speaker 1: show him the business if you don't know the business.
Speaker 1: That's the person of the m w dB E training
Speaker 1: can Why can't? Why? Why why is it? Why is it?
Speaker 1: Hasn't we've been effective in showing America the business when
Speaker 1: it comes to black people, Uh, getting some real piece
Speaker 1: of this American post like they obviously don't see that
Speaker 1: if black people, a win for black people is a
Speaker 1: win for society. For American society, you did if black
Speaker 1: people the same thing as it would be for any
Speaker 1: other ethnic group any A win for Hispanics is a
Speaker 1: win for American society, and win for white people is
Speaker 1: win for American society, a win for whoever that lives
Speaker 1: in this country, who shares this space that we share.
Speaker 1: If everybody is winning, if everybody is getting getting has
Speaker 1: the same amount of action, then you don't have all
Speaker 1: of these chaos that you have. I do believe a
Speaker 1: lot of these chaos it's because of the inequities that
Speaker 1: we have in this country. Since time. The opposition wanted
Speaker 1: to see us broke, since absolutely so I thought about
Speaker 1: this a lot, and here's what I came up with.
Speaker 1: They killed Dr Martin Luther King right, they killed John
Speaker 1: and Robert Kenny right, and scared the rest of the
Speaker 1: freedom fighters off. The only one that stayed true to
Speaker 1: the game. God bless your show was John Lewis. The
Speaker 1: rest of them went to the pulpit, has started preaching
Speaker 1: Farrakan Farra con Stoke with car Michael, you know, uh
Speaker 1: Benjamin out there. But I mean, I mean, just straight
Speaker 1: raising hair. But they fear, they fear fair come yeah,
Speaker 1: they fear fair come yeah, absolutely, because fair come. Truth
Speaker 1: Trump's power all day long. Truth Trump's power. And see
Speaker 1: when brothers bring truth, they're not ready. Even people in
Speaker 1: our community that I know that's so called powerful. When
Speaker 1: I talk to them, truth makes them humble because they
Speaker 1: don't know how to deal with me, because I have
Speaker 1: no problem in telling the truth. And one of the
Speaker 1: reason I don't have a problem telling them truth is
Speaker 1: because I understand the rules and regulations on how to
Speaker 1: survive and provide for myself. Let me tell you someone,
Speaker 1: I begin to read and understand each contract when they
Speaker 1: clearly said that there's a piece of the pie for me,
Speaker 1: I need to get mine now. If you don't get
Speaker 1: it to me, get to somebody to look like me.
Speaker 1: But you're gonna give it to somebody. And what needs
Speaker 1: to happen is more of us need to know. So
Speaker 1: again with the MWDB Training Academy, that's what we do.
Speaker 1: We teach you how to really understand the rules and
Speaker 1: regulations of the game. Any game. If you're playing basketball
Speaker 1: in your traveledy on you turn over, if you step
Speaker 1: out of bounds, turn over. So what we gotta do
Speaker 1: is we gotta learn how to hit the shot. We
Speaker 1: gotta learn how to play the game. We gotta learn
Speaker 1: how to pass. We gotta learn how to said picks.
Speaker 1: Everybody said picks for their organization and their groups other
Speaker 1: than us, because we all want to be one on
Speaker 1: one in individual and I'll do the next. But what
Speaker 1: really kill us is we got these people in our
Speaker 1: community who quote unquote is power players, and what they're
Speaker 1: doing is playing us because they've two or three friends
Speaker 1: can make money. And I challenge that all the time.
Speaker 1: I'm a firm believer about watering others automatically water myself.
Speaker 1: The God I served teaches me how to help people.
Speaker 1: When you help people, you get a blessing. That's what
Speaker 1: those gatekeepers are afraid of. That's why they're afraid of you.
Speaker 1: They're not necessarily afraid of you because you tell the truth.
Speaker 1: Is if you told the truth in private, just between
Speaker 1: you and them, they wouldn't have any problems. The fact
Speaker 1: is that you're reaching and teaching and we're gonna do.
Speaker 1: That's what they're afraid of. Well already know and guess
Speaker 1: what They're gonna be scared of me for a long time. Yes, yes, seven, three, six,
Speaker 1: all the way up the ladder. You know. Again, Like
Speaker 1: I said, man, I live in Houston. I love Houston.
Speaker 1: This is my town. There's no better city in America
Speaker 1: to live. I'm disappointing my leadership, I really am, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: particularly with Mayor Turner. You know one thing that I
Speaker 1: hear a lot is Mayor Turner won't do stuff for
Speaker 1: African Americans because he worried about what the police gonna do. Well,
Speaker 1: you ain't got to do wrong to bill your people up,
Speaker 1: and you ain't got to do wrong for the police
Speaker 1: to do something. They're gonna do something anyways. Absolutely, so
Speaker 1: don't let that be the reason. Don't let that be
Speaker 1: the reason we elected to you to be the mayor
Speaker 1: so you can help our community. You know, you our community.
Speaker 1: You know there need to be enough black millionaires in
Speaker 1: this town. This town don't have enough African American Millionailting
Speaker 1: podcast will be right back after the squet. What is
Speaker 1: the purpose of being in control of the money and
Speaker 1: you're black and you're not making sure that black people
Speaker 1: get their fast share of that money? What is the
Speaker 1: purpose of being in that position? Now? I'm asking all
Speaker 1: you city of city and state officials out there, because
Speaker 1: I know you're listening, and if you're not listening your
Speaker 1: you should be. You should be listening exactly. So, so
Speaker 1: I want to know, you know, like what what what
Speaker 1: good do you do? Do you serve us? I mean,
Speaker 1: what do you do? What are you there for? Like
Speaker 1: other than to be a gatekeeper? Right? And a photo photo?
Speaker 1: I heard I heard um Barack Obama, President Barack Obama
Speaker 1: say something, um some profound words. Man. He says, I
Speaker 1: am not the president for Black America. I'm the president
Speaker 1: for the United States of America. You know. And as
Speaker 1: much as I love Barack, that statement right there kind
Speaker 1: of blew me a little bit. You know what. First,
Speaker 1: first and foremost, it was unnecessary. What's understood ain't gotta
Speaker 1: be said. You see what I'm saying. And so it's
Speaker 1: certain things. It's like it's like if if I know
Speaker 1: something about you that that that's that's a private situation.
Speaker 1: Just because it's the truth. And just because I know it,
Speaker 1: don't mean I gotta say it. You did. I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I gotta consider, I gotta consider you know who you know,
Speaker 1: how it affects you, how it makes you feel, and
Speaker 1: and you never heard it in your entire life. Even
Speaker 1: though we all know this to be true, we know
Speaker 1: these truths to be evident. So hold hold on. Let
Speaker 1: me at this point that we know that all of
Speaker 1: these presidents that America has had has been the president
Speaker 1: for white people. But they never said that. They never
Speaker 1: said I'm not I'm not just here to be the
Speaker 1: president for white people. You know what I'm saying exactly
Speaker 1: because they know how those white people are gonna feel
Speaker 1: when he says I'm not just here to be the
Speaker 1: president for white people. But but him being black and
Speaker 1: him going through the same um scrutiny as a black
Speaker 1: man that we all have, I would figure that he had,
Speaker 1: he would have a different outlook on on the way
Speaker 1: he ran, you know. So, So Brad Willie, I want
Speaker 1: you to think about it. I don't get to really
Speaker 1: get it though. Who cares about our community rise? Who
Speaker 1: really care? Oh? Yes, I mean only you gonna have
Speaker 1: to be the ultimate person to really care whether your
Speaker 1: community rise. And then you gotta take that information and
Speaker 1: that knowledge and share it with other communities. See, when
Speaker 1: you become the leader of the free world, you supposed
Speaker 1: to do what the hell you want to do. Don Trump.
Speaker 1: Trump did what the hell he want to do, and
Speaker 1: he didn't care about whatever other people think. Now I'm
Speaker 1: not saying be overboard or too extreme. But you can't
Speaker 1: tell me, if you're the leader of the free world
Speaker 1: that you can't do more than what you say you're doing.
Speaker 1: And that's across the board. Listen to me, guys. We
Speaker 1: got a lot of people that look like us in
Speaker 1: major cities, mayors and high places. Okay, someone got like
Speaker 1: some of them like state reps with big gums, a
Speaker 1: lot of gum coming anymouth. Let me tell y'all something else.
Speaker 1: What is that? We'll research it, well, research what's the name?
Speaker 1: Uh Tom Scott, Uncle Tom Scott, timmy uncle Tom, Tom
Speaker 1: sc Chim Scott, champion Tom. So you know again we
Speaker 1: got you know, it's got to change, and it's got
Speaker 1: to change now. But we gotta change our leadership again.
Speaker 1: I'm not throwing rocks you nobody, but I want you
Speaker 1: all to think. Name me some strong African American leaders
Speaker 1: in this country. Name me something. I can name a few,
Speaker 1: but I won't. But I won't do that at the
Speaker 1: risk of aliot nating anybody, because we do have something
Speaker 1: out there. But but but that you're right, though, it's
Speaker 1: a shortage. It's a shortage, trust me, it's a shortage. Huh,
Speaker 1: ain't what next in waters? Easy? Yeah, yeah we can.
Speaker 1: I can name a few across the board, but across
Speaker 1: the boys across the board, across the board, and a
Speaker 1: lot of them, bro. So I got another question for y'all,
Speaker 1: How can you help me make a million if you
Speaker 1: ain't never had one. My mama taught me the only
Speaker 1: way you're gonna make a million knowledge and you got
Speaker 1: to hang with people that's got a meeting the more. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But a lot of those kids they got millions, bro,
Speaker 1: And a lot of them don't. Yeah, a whole lot
Speaker 1: of them do. Though. I think more of them the
Speaker 1: higher up you go. They got they got money, they
Speaker 1: got that paper. You know, I'll be willing to make
Speaker 1: your bed with a D that it's on the shot.
Speaker 1: Then I think, so, I don't think so. I know.
Speaker 1: So you think Mitch McConnell, gotta you gotta don't look
Speaker 1: like us. We're talking about Yeah, we talked about one
Speaker 1: that talk about al Green. All right, all right, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll see. It ain't a really about how much you
Speaker 1: can get for yourself. It's more about how much you
Speaker 1: can give for others. Because the word teaches you is
Speaker 1: when you water others, you automatically water yourself, you automatically.
Speaker 1: One of the reasons why this is pure speculation. One
Speaker 1: of the reasons that I believe that a lot of
Speaker 1: black so say leaders per se leaders are not millionaires
Speaker 1: is because if you are taking a job that pays
Speaker 1: thirty thousand a year, a hundred thousand a year, whatever
Speaker 1: it is, and it takes up so much of your
Speaker 1: time like most of these jobs, duties, these public serving
Speaker 1: jobs do, then uh, if you want to become a millionaire,
Speaker 1: then you have to do something that. Yeah, you gotta
Speaker 1: do something, and um, it all depends on the job.
Speaker 1: You know what. The thing is, you gotta do something
Speaker 1: right now if you take some money, like a lot
Speaker 1: of these dudes do. A lot of them take money.
Speaker 1: You know that's right here. Yeah, but a lot of
Speaker 1: these guys take money. The problem is for black people
Speaker 1: that might want to play the game is that they're
Speaker 1: gonna get caught because they are watching before they ever
Speaker 1: get in office. They're watching them with hawk eyes. They
Speaker 1: watching every little mood you make. They're checking out your campaign,
Speaker 1: you know, your campaign contributions, how that money is allocated.
Speaker 1: They're looking they sniffing their gray everywhere and the moment
Speaker 1: you do anything, you out of here. Bro. You can't.
Speaker 1: You black black politicians can't play the same game that
Speaker 1: white politicisan uh play when it comes to taking that money. Well,
Speaker 1: it is one of the main things that we teach
Speaker 1: at the m DV Training Cabinet the very first day.
Speaker 1: There's no cheating. You don't have to cheat to win.
Speaker 1: If you know the rules, you're going to win, period
Speaker 1: because the way the rules are designed, they are designed
Speaker 1: for us to win. Huh. But if you don't follow
Speaker 1: the rules, you're gonna lose. Listen. I don't care if
Speaker 1: you the mayor, the president. I don't give a damn
Speaker 1: who you are. Okay, Listen. Two thousand fifteen, Barack Obama
Speaker 1: signed the Fast Act f A s T. And in
Speaker 1: that Act it clearly states that of the fund spent
Speaker 1: in the Transportation Department should be expended to the disadvantaged
Speaker 1: business enterprise can unity. Okay, Now, the problem is this
Speaker 1: a mantag business enterprise community is including Becky with the
Speaker 1: good hair, so that's who getting the biggest part of
Speaker 1: the ten percent and Becky with the husband. Probably I
Speaker 1: want to straighten something over here fast before we go
Speaker 1: any further. All Bickie's don't have good happen. But that's
Speaker 1: the Beckie with the good hair you're talking I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. That's just a metaphor. What's the good
Speaker 1: hair could be anybody who's cheating, because chances are Becky
Speaker 1: with the good hair do not perform a commercially use
Speaker 1: for function. And that's the term that everybody needs to know.
Speaker 1: Go ahead and elaborate. Performing a commercially used for function
Speaker 1: is what we talked about about. A nice code. What's
Speaker 1: your what's your trade? What do you do? What's your trade?
Speaker 1: I make music? Absolutely you know it been in in
Speaker 1: all your life? Right now? How I look like go
Speaker 1: and get a music contract when I'm a pipe man?
Speaker 1: But I'm rather douzl enough. Now I got the music
Speaker 1: contract to do this big show for the government, and
Speaker 1: I can't do nothing. But guess who I'm gonna go to?
Speaker 1: Brad said Brad, I got a contract. Well, what you're
Speaker 1: doing with the contract in the first damn place? You
Speaker 1: ain't in the music business. But I knew how to
Speaker 1: rather down to get the contract because I knew I
Speaker 1: could go to you and give you some peanuts. Yes,
Speaker 1: we gotta stop that. Come on, we gotta stop that.
Speaker 1: So a lot of our black leaders is in the mix,
Speaker 1: in the way. Get out of the way. You're in
Speaker 1: the people way. And so what we teach you the
Speaker 1: MWB E Training Academy is understanding your names code. Because
Speaker 1: if you know your name's code and you know my
Speaker 1: name's code, when you see me with a music contract, gee, way,
Speaker 1: what you're doing in this line? Baby, you need to
Speaker 1: get in the pipeline. Stay in your lane. Stay in
Speaker 1: your lane cause you're in the way. Now, how are
Speaker 1: you gonna come up if I'm in your lane? It's hard,
Speaker 1: especially if I know a lot of dotting and everybody
Speaker 1: mm hmm. So for you to know the difference, you
Speaker 1: need to be taught. Now, I'm not saying this to
Speaker 1: the opposition. I'm speaking even in our community. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you something which is embarrassing. I live in Houston,
Speaker 1: Texas with the m WDB Training Academy is absolutely positively free.
Speaker 1: The brothers and sisters in Texas won't even take the
Speaker 1: time to register. I go anywhere in the country. You
Speaker 1: was in the class. I got a room full of
Speaker 1: sisters from Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North and South Carolina want
Speaker 1: this information, and until we want the information to win,
Speaker 1: we're always gonna lose because this is what we're gonna say. Well,
Speaker 1: they keep getting the deal to the same old people,
Speaker 1: or I ain't certified what I'm gonna do until we
Speaker 1: learned understand how to play the game. Come on, y'all
Speaker 1: been in the music and y'all know the music game,
Speaker 1: so you gotta know the game. You gotta know the game.
Speaker 1: And it's for me to teach my young brothers and
Speaker 1: sisters the game. That's my job, that's my college. And
Speaker 1: I don't care who defends. I can't tell you how
Speaker 1: many of my friends are my associates hate I'm saying
Speaker 1: these words. But if you go and look at me,
Speaker 1: I've been on the White House steps, I've been at
Speaker 1: the courthouse. I'm gonna speak truth to power no matter
Speaker 1: where I'm at, it doesn't matter. I'm not doing it
Speaker 1: for money. I'm doing it because I want to see
Speaker 1: my community grow, Because I feel, like Willie do, feel
Speaker 1: we need our fair share. Why are you sure changing
Speaker 1: us If any minority group paid the way here, we
Speaker 1: even't paid the way fifty times over Look, the Korean
Speaker 1: just gotta be a pass and what two months something
Speaker 1: like that, Yeah Asian Asian, I'm sorry two months. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And we've been trying to get this anti lynch and
Speaker 1: act putting effect forever. Man, I'm just trying to get
Speaker 1: an anti black uh, some type of anti black act.
Speaker 1: So we need so so what we need, brothers, in
Speaker 1: my opinion is we just need new leadership. I just
Speaker 1: think the leaders that we have is outdated and stale,
Speaker 1: and the opposition been hearing them talk to them for
Speaker 1: twenty five years and ain't done nothing. So so you're right.
Speaker 1: But at the at the same time, I just want
Speaker 1: to add that it's important that we understand that we
Speaker 1: can't wait on leadership because some people feel like, well,
Speaker 1: since we ain't got nobody leaders, I'm just gonna wait
Speaker 1: till it happens. In the meantime, you gotta get up,
Speaker 1: you gotta push man, You gotta get up and make
Speaker 1: it happen for yourself no matter what, because I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you something. You know, like, it don't matter who's
Speaker 1: in the White House for me, it don't matter who's
Speaker 1: the mayor. You don't matter who's the governor, you don't
Speaker 1: matter who the senator. Years whatever matter, Willie gonna always
Speaker 1: get his I'm gonna always come up, I'm always find
Speaker 1: a way, my kids gonna always have it. Ain't no
Speaker 1: man alive, no man made. A woman can stop me,
Speaker 1: period And anything a man can do to me, I
Speaker 1: can do to him. So I hears nothing for real
Speaker 1: and I'm so And it doesn't matter if a Democrat
Speaker 1: or Republican gets in office. Look, man, at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, it's really about who you like. You
Speaker 1: know who you who you can stand and look at
Speaker 1: and listen to for a four to eight years because
Speaker 1: all I'm playing for the same team. When the when
Speaker 1: the when the Republicans decide that they want to uh
Speaker 1: engage in voter suppression and your presidents say, well, you know,
Speaker 1: we're trying our best to stop and we were doing
Speaker 1: our best. Listen, fan, you wonder why the Democrats appear
Speaker 1: to be so weak. Why do they appear to be
Speaker 1: so weak? That is because they benefit when the Republicans
Speaker 1: appeared to be so strong. They still no matter how
Speaker 1: it goes, at the end of the day, they both sides,
Speaker 1: and the benefit the Democrats benefit from the Republicans side.
Speaker 1: Any time of Republicans, whatever they do the Democrats benefit
Speaker 1: Just like from that with the insurgence on the sixth
Speaker 1: of January, the Democrats benefited from that because a lot
Speaker 1: of Democrats hold those same values as those people that
Speaker 1: rushed the capital. Does a lot of Democrats hold out
Speaker 1: those same values. So so so so Willie, absolutely, Willie
Speaker 1: and Brad, I don't try to check this out. Look
Speaker 1: at our leadership across the country. Look at our leaders,
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about African American leaders. Most of them
Speaker 1: came from Harvard and all these Ivy League schools, all
Speaker 1: these so called quote unquote good schools. So they friendly,
Speaker 1: they friendly. We need some brothers who, yes, we need
Speaker 1: a mix of brothers who ain't quite so friendly, like
Speaker 1: Bobby Rush out of Chicago. We need some radical brothers
Speaker 1: that will tell a friendly brothers. The Holy Player were
Speaker 1: just too friendly. So here's my take. But the Friely
Speaker 1: dudes got the churches, and the churches got the voters. Well,
Speaker 1: that's right, but guess what people in the church, at
Speaker 1: least my church, we know bull from the real And again,
Speaker 1: if you look at our scope of our leaders, that's significant,
Speaker 1: all of them Harvard and all these other schools which
Speaker 1: ain't got no rough EDGs. We need a little rough head.
Speaker 1: So here's how I look at it. In America, if
Speaker 1: you're black, you either Toby or Counter. Ain't no in between.
Speaker 1: You either Toby or Kumter. So who are you? Ain't no,
Speaker 1: ain't no in between, ain't no other name? Toby boy Kumpter.
Speaker 1: And until we established and understand that because a lot
Speaker 1: of brothers try to act like the Kunter. But you
Speaker 1: know you Toby, be Toby. It's okay. You don't have
Speaker 1: to get around us and be Kuter be Counter all
Speaker 1: the time. So now do you worry about what happens
Speaker 1: to your little pocketbook because you around quote unquote the
Speaker 1: elite and you Toby wrong answer. And that's what the
Speaker 1: problem is. We need more stronger brothers. Period. I think
Speaker 1: you got period. I think you got Toby Counter and
Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith. Come on, Willie, everything was going cool?
Speaker 1: How Steve am getting? You know the same way that
Speaker 1: that that Candice as got in? Bro? You know what
Speaker 1: all that all that book dancing and yeah, well that's
Speaker 1: that's that's that's Toby. And no, no, no, no, no no,
Speaker 1: because keep in mind, you know Toby Toby had it's
Speaker 1: Toby had coop the kid. They deep down inside of him.
Speaker 1: You know, he still was cool the kid. They because
Speaker 1: keep in mind, Toby continued even when they chopped his foot,
Speaker 1: he continued to try to run. He continued to make
Speaker 1: a break heat. Toby was never they Toby was never
Speaker 1: satisfied with being a slave. He never he never accepted that.
Speaker 1: He til the day he died, he never accepted that.
Speaker 1: So you know, you know, I gotta but it's again,
Speaker 1: that's my that's my opinion, and everybody different. But again,
Speaker 1: you know, whether they I don't know how you are,
Speaker 1: but I'd be willing to say, Okay, I gotta damn
Speaker 1: on you, thank God, oh man. And guess what I've
Speaker 1: have seeing something. You know, I'm at that age guys
Speaker 1: where I've seen how it used to be version how
Speaker 1: he is now. And let me tell you something. Our
Speaker 1: young brothers and sisters coming up now, they don't remember
Speaker 1: all that old crazy stuff. The millenniums ain't trying to
Speaker 1: hear that. They don't understand what you mean they did
Speaker 1: to me. They don't know nothing about what happened a
Speaker 1: long time ago. And that's what we need. We need
Speaker 1: some people who don't care about that what used to happen,
Speaker 1: what had happened. See if you sell that to me,
Speaker 1: and sell it to me year after year after year
Speaker 1: after year after year, I buy into that. The new
Speaker 1: kids coming up, they ain't never heard that. Man, I
Speaker 1: don't want to hear that. So it's up on us.
Speaker 1: It's on us, the elderly, the real ones, to teach
Speaker 1: them how to stand strong. But not not the elderly,
Speaker 1: the elders. Yes, the elders. Yeah, yeah, I love my age.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I didn't start growing up
Speaker 1: until about twenty years ago. I was left boy up
Speaker 1: until the end. Oh but boy, if you knew better,
Speaker 1: you do better. You know what I'm saying. I'm remade.
Speaker 1: I'm a whole different man now. And what I realized
Speaker 1: that I didn't realize before it was it was all
Speaker 1: about me. Now it's about what I can do for
Speaker 1: other people, which is a much better life. That's where
Speaker 1: your value comes. Want to feel good? Yes, sir, Yes, sir.
Speaker 1: You know I can go anywhere in this country, and
Speaker 1: wherever I go, guess what they're gonna lay out there?
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Yeah, And that's what it's all about. A
Speaker 1: Voice Reloded podcast will be right back after the point,
Speaker 1: do mean solid take um, take a little time and
Speaker 1: and and just tell the listeners what all you've done
Speaker 1: in your career as the pipe man. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: we want to started. I mean't go ahead, that's what's interesting. Um.
Speaker 1: Probably I don't know, thirty years ago, maybe thirty, maybe
Speaker 1: more than that. I U. I was living in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles playing professional baseball, and uh, the guy that I
Speaker 1: played for he owned supply company and sold twols shop
Speaker 1: supplies and safety equipment. And in the off season I
Speaker 1: would go and sell products for his company and made
Speaker 1: three times more money than I was making playing baseball
Speaker 1: San Nego Padres farn Club. Anyway, UM, what I realized
Speaker 1: about playing in somebody's organization is that you just a
Speaker 1: piece of the organization and you do whatever you have
Speaker 1: to do to get what you need to get. And
Speaker 1: so I realized earlier on that to be able to
Speaker 1: make it any life, you gotta do your own thing.
Speaker 1: So I cut a deal with the company I work
Speaker 1: for to move back to Houston and start a supply company,
Speaker 1: which I did, and I did real well, and I
Speaker 1: gave a brother job and the first thing he brought
Speaker 1: to the line item was piped mm hmm and the
Speaker 1: rest of in history. And that was back in eighty four.
Speaker 1: What areuse some notable jobs that oh my god, man
Speaker 1: then supply pipe to the lasting pipeline right here in
Speaker 1: Houston recently in the last year, so we supplied uh
Speaker 1: four miles and ninety six inch pipe to the what's
Speaker 1: the name of the job right here in UH It'll
Speaker 1: come to me in a minute. But we've done project
Speaker 1: stuff like on two eight eight, you know we do
Speaker 1: major project is uh a highway here in Houston, a
Speaker 1: freeway here in Houston, and um Mr Wade laid the
Speaker 1: reboart up under that particular freeway and I know that
Speaker 1: pay to go Sillon dollars. But God is good. God
Speaker 1: is good, you know. I think. I think what happens
Speaker 1: in life is uh, you don't count it. You don't
Speaker 1: you don't count it In Dollargy County and how you
Speaker 1: can help people, we had a lot of people, get
Speaker 1: a lot of people job. One of the things that
Speaker 1: I'm being on man is paying taxes back into community
Speaker 1: and hyding people that look like us. Why can't we
Speaker 1: be employers other than having to always go work for
Speaker 1: Mr Toby you know. One of the things about tax
Speaker 1: dollars that you spend. We put the tax dollars in,
Speaker 1: and the best thing I like to do is keep
Speaker 1: putting it back in. How you gonna keep win if
Speaker 1: you don't keep putting it back in, you know exactly.
Speaker 1: And until our leaders understand that that's what it's about,
Speaker 1: were always gonna end up in the last place. We
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta get a new leadership. Guys. We gotta
Speaker 1: we gotta change the leadership. Just that simple, you know.
Speaker 1: That's why. That's why it's so important for us to vote.
Speaker 1: A lot of people think that voting you know, local
Speaker 1: does not affect us in absolutely Bigo, more so than
Speaker 1: voting for from telling. I'm telling man, we need we
Speaker 1: need leaders locally that understand what's going on in our community.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, we do it. That's why again, like
Speaker 1: I said, man, listen, anybody knows me, No, I support
Speaker 1: Bars miles to the hill because I personally see what
Speaker 1: Bars do for our community, not to what somebody to
Speaker 1: tell me. He's a squabbler. He fights for the people,
Speaker 1: big time for the people, and his love ain't about
Speaker 1: how much he can get, It's about how much he
Speaker 1: can help other people. Yeah, and I know that about Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I I know very few politicians that I could
Speaker 1: say that about, and I know quite a few of them.
Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying I don't like what they do.
Speaker 1: And everybody got their own issue that they like to
Speaker 1: work on, and I get that part. But again, we
Speaker 1: need more than turkeys for Thanksgiving, bicucles for the kids
Speaker 1: for Christmas. You know, we need some contracts, We need
Speaker 1: some opportunities in our community, We need some always kind
Speaker 1: of feel a certain way about that annual thing that
Speaker 1: you know, uh, giving out turkeys just for Thanksgiving, you know,
Speaker 1: like you know that's one meal out of three d
Speaker 1: and sixty out of the year, you know, and that's
Speaker 1: that's a that's a lot of absent meals, you know, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't the whole thing with just you know,
Speaker 1: just it's being charitable is good. I think it's good
Speaker 1: to have a day that commemorates that, you know, kind
Speaker 1: of like like prompts people to action. That's kind of cool,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, reminds people, hey, this is
Speaker 1: given whatever. But uh, we do need the type of
Speaker 1: programs that that are reoccurring. You know, like it's not
Speaker 1: just a thing that happens once a year, and you know,
Speaker 1: to be a daily those programs are there, They are there,
Speaker 1: They are there. Listen, you name a program and I'll
Speaker 1: show you where the money is your marked to go
Speaker 1: to us as a part of it. But what happens
Speaker 1: to that money though? If what happens to the money,
Speaker 1: what happens to the it is because we're not knowledgeable
Speaker 1: how to get it. It goes back to where it
Speaker 1: came from. No are they use what's called the good
Speaker 1: faith effort. Good faith for me, We tried to find somebody,
Speaker 1: but we could So now we're we're gonna give it
Speaker 1: to who we want to and as you live back
Speaker 1: in with the good half. So so is this part
Speaker 1: of the discretionary fund what you talked about, both discretionary
Speaker 1: and mandatory. Listen, every dime spending this country comes along
Speaker 1: with minority participation. Everything everything we do publicly, everything got
Speaker 1: a minority goal in it. Everything. Now, what's the purpose
Speaker 1: of having a minority goal in a project if you
Speaker 1: don't know how to get it out? So going to
Speaker 1: get certified ain't nothing? Are you qualified side to get
Speaker 1: it out of the pile? That's the key. What's an
Speaker 1: example of some jobs that a person can like, perhaps
Speaker 1: laying a government contract where it doesn't take a high
Speaker 1: degree of education. Okay, very good question. COVID COVID COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen was just rampant. People wouldn't even go to get
Speaker 1: those shots, go get tested or nothing. I recommended a
Speaker 1: couple of sisters in this town, and I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: call their name, put a business together and guess what
Speaker 1: they did? When do to do knocking? And convinced Ms
Speaker 1: Helen and her family to go take the tests. And
Speaker 1: every time they did that, they got broke off. H
Speaker 1: You ain't got to be no doctor. You ain't gotta
Speaker 1: be noneing. All you gotta do is be smart enough
Speaker 1: to know how to put the deal together. Contact Tracy
Speaker 1: was a good contract. A lot of stuff, Um, what's that?
Speaker 1: What's what's our board? Named? Tadfolo? His son got a
Speaker 1: got a van to ride around doing testing. So it's
Speaker 1: a lot of things. You gotta be innovative and creative.
Speaker 1: You're you're following me? Does listen? Almost everything in America
Speaker 1: got a public component to you. Just gotta know you're lane.
Speaker 1: Do you have to be does your business have to
Speaker 1: be established. No, no, absolutely not. Listen. Listen. If you're
Speaker 1: a minority, you broke. So the most important thing is
Speaker 1: I'm broke, ain't got no money, needs to help. But
Speaker 1: guess what, do you have the knowledge? See when once
Speaker 1: you get the knowledge, you don't have that excuse no more.
Speaker 1: So what we do is we run out and start
Speaker 1: these businesses but don't have the knowledge because we think, oh,
Speaker 1: I want to be a truck driver. I'm gonna broker
Speaker 1: truck stipe because I know my boy got two trucks. No,
Speaker 1: you gotta know the game. You gotta know the business.
Speaker 1: Being a minority. Don't say nothing about how much money
Speaker 1: you start out with. In fact, from zero to one
Speaker 1: point three to million knowledge, you consider the minority as
Speaker 1: an individual. From zero to twenty three point nine eight
Speaker 1: million dollars over appeared to three years as a corporation,
Speaker 1: you consider the minority. So whatever asset you can get
Speaker 1: between zero and one point three two million before you
Speaker 1: get tapped out, it's where you need to be. Don't
Speaker 1: you want to be tapped out? Everybody out to be
Speaker 1: tapped out at one point three million. And guess what
Speaker 1: when you look at the grand scheme of thing. One
Speaker 1: point three to million ain't deadly, that's deadly. You give
Speaker 1: thirty three million Americans, African Americans one point three to million, Now,
Speaker 1: how much money it is? Okay, thirty three million Americans,
Speaker 1: you give them all one million dollars, that's okay. There
Speaker 1: ain't no money, all right, there's not a lot of money.
Speaker 1: That's not a lot of money. It's not a lot
Speaker 1: of money. When when Biden just signed a bill, look
Speaker 1: the corona, the care of that. They say, ain't no money.
Speaker 1: How many people turned down the fourteen hundred dollars? How
Speaker 1: many people turned down fourteen hush? Yeah, So don't tell
Speaker 1: me you can't generate it. Now, it was felled out
Speaker 1: black and white. If you did X, Y Z whatever,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get fourteen hundred dollars for you and four
Speaker 1: hundred dollars for the kids and all that other stuff.
Speaker 1: It's felled out black and white. And that's how all
Speaker 1: the other money is. We just don't take the time
Speaker 1: to go to find out. They didn't. Well, I didn't
Speaker 1: get so so when you think about is that a
Speaker 1: lot of money? It's three trillion dollar When you look
Speaker 1: at it like that, one point three to no. Not
Speaker 1: if you break it up and get everybody one point
Speaker 1: three to million. Now, that ain't no bad, but how much?
Speaker 1: How many million? One point one million? That's what they
Speaker 1: need to give back. What I'm saying is to tap
Speaker 1: us out, to tap us out as minorities no more. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everybody one point three to million. Now I want the
Speaker 1: one point three and a leg and on from you, dirty,
Speaker 1: low down muck man. It's for the assets, is man.
Speaker 1: I'm man. I get mad when I think about how
Speaker 1: they did this bro like and then still trying to
Speaker 1: do us and didn't act like we don't diss the paper.
Speaker 1: That's time. We didn't build this country, bro, we built
Speaker 1: this man. It's nobody, nobody in this country deserve more
Speaker 1: prosperity than black people. Nobody, period, break period. Man. So
Speaker 1: now think about it when you think about what you
Speaker 1: just said. Over the last thirty years, maybe more than that,
Speaker 1: we've had black leadership, we had black president and unchanged.
Speaker 1: So until we change leadership in the mindset, we're gonna
Speaker 1: still be doing the same thing over and over again.
Speaker 1: Because most people, like even with Barack, everybody all black president.
Speaker 1: Me too. I want to see a brother president I
Speaker 1: couldnot grow up and have my kids and my grandkids
Speaker 1: and say, Papa, you don't both Barck. I couldn't ever
Speaker 1: had it on me. But not only that. He was
Speaker 1: a shop brother. You know. He wasn't no dummy. But
Speaker 1: still the end of the day, when you get in
Speaker 1: the drive a sheet baby, you got to drive. I
Speaker 1: looked at it like you know that first that first term,
Speaker 1: I was like a lot of people like, okay, trying
Speaker 1: to tell you because we gotta get gotta get in
Speaker 1: second time around, you know, and you know, but second time,
Speaker 1: you know, second time you gotta come on with it.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you something, bro. Hey, if you
Speaker 1: go down and go down. But they had to kill me, bro,
Speaker 1: because I ain't no way I'd have said back and
Speaker 1: play like play that game, man. I'm going in on
Speaker 1: them food. I'm going in and those police officers, oh,
Speaker 1: they've been to get it. Let me go back. Not
Speaker 1: gonna be riding around here just gunning my people down. Bro,
Speaker 1: I think I ain't gonna let me get back to you.
Speaker 1: You don't remember saying unions that was educated hard and
Speaker 1: when educated that is you. She we gotta have some brothers.
Speaker 1: That's from the hood. That understand how I really really
Speaker 1: go because most of the brothers that leader ship from
Speaker 1: Harvard and nothing against them, they're good old boys and
Speaker 1: yeah all that. Yeah, they already been broke. They've been
Speaker 1: broke from the rill. We need something that ain't been broken.
Speaker 1: We need something that's black for real, you know we do. Yeah, Man,
Speaker 1: it ain't no way bro. Like, Man, I'm in office. Bro, look, bro,
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna have no bill with no food
Speaker 1: that called me, you know, out of my name or whatever,
Speaker 1: like having a bill with these foods and man that
Speaker 1: old man. Man, get up out of here with that. Bro,
Speaker 1: just going down so you don't have to go along
Speaker 1: to get along. And that's what we're going along together.
Speaker 1: It's going down. We're going along to get along. And
Speaker 1: until we are realized that the opposition ain't our friends,
Speaker 1: you know. And all these people got killed on the
Speaker 1: rock Watchman and most of these people and then killing
Speaker 1: just kept coming, killing, the killing just kept going. Broke,
Speaker 1: going and going and going and going going. I'm not man,
Speaker 1: I'm not with that in the activity. Bro. Like, if
Speaker 1: you got the power, man use it, like damn what
Speaker 1: everybody else think? You know, Look, Uh, Donald Trump was
Speaker 1: one of the worst human beings ever invented. And I
Speaker 1: say invented because he had nobody could He could not
Speaker 1: have been birthed, you know what I'm saying. This dude
Speaker 1: was invented, so yeah, exactly easily one of the worst
Speaker 1: ever ever ever. But this dude decided that from day one,
Speaker 1: y'all don't like me, and y'all y'all y'all don't know,
Speaker 1: y'all don't like me. I don't like y'all. Y'all not
Speaker 1: gonna vote for me anyway, and no matter what I do,
Speaker 1: y'all not gonna appreciate it. So I'm just gonna do
Speaker 1: to me. I'm gonna do me, and I'm gonna look
Speaker 1: out for the people that's voted for me. That's me. Like, man,
Speaker 1: if you ride for me, I ride for you. If
Speaker 1: you love me, I love you, You hate me, I
Speaker 1: hate you. I don't give a damn what your nationality is,
Speaker 1: your ethnicity is, whatever, it don't matter. Like you ride
Speaker 1: for me, I ride for you, right eas Yeah, this
Speaker 1: this this whole thing, man, all it is cooled by
Speaker 1: y'all stuff. Man, And sometimes man, you gotta just put
Speaker 1: your foot down. Man, and make it happen like I'm Look,
Speaker 1: look man, I'm a loving not a fighter. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I mean, you know, I'm a loving
Speaker 1: not a fighter. Man Like I I like the idea
Speaker 1: of peace. I love that. But man, if we can't
Speaker 1: get alone exactly exactly and it's time to fight, it
Speaker 1: is time to fight, you know. Let me tell you.
Speaker 1: People are always tell me with get away of your radical.
Speaker 1: I'm not radical, just tired of the river round? Is it?
Speaker 1: I mean? Enough is enough? And too much thing and
Speaker 1: ain't nothing changing? And the people that I elect to
Speaker 1: put in position to take care of me, how are
Speaker 1: you gonna take care of me if you don't know nothing?
Speaker 1: And then you ain't even willing to sit down and listen. Well,
Speaker 1: if you wasn't black, they call you a rebel, not
Speaker 1: a radical. You know what I'm saying, because you rebel
Speaker 1: like you know, like that's that's a good thing, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying that. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: They don't call me o'rever. Don't know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: They don't because you're black, you know what. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you what. They called me everything but that, but
Speaker 1: they can't question my knowledge about what I do. And
Speaker 1: that's the part they get them because not only do
Speaker 1: I speak it, I can support it with the most
Speaker 1: important thing, and that is the law. Everything I teach
Speaker 1: I preach, I can support it with the law. And
Speaker 1: that's what's about, you know. I I developed a handbook
Speaker 1: called a forty niner, the forty niner, and it is
Speaker 1: the rules and regulations of basically how you get the money,
Speaker 1: just exemple. And not only did I develop a handbook,
Speaker 1: I teach it. Now. There's nothing wrong with us wanting
Speaker 1: economic wealth. We deserve that we should get that. And
Speaker 1: even if we hadn't gotten it in our day in time,
Speaker 1: we need to make sure that our kids get Listen,
Speaker 1: I have a grandson and nine, your grandson of Wally,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do every damn thing I can to make
Speaker 1: sure him and his little homeboys got a shot did it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Did y'all hear what he said? I'm gonna make sure.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do everything that I can to make sure
Speaker 1: that my son and Andy got a shot at got
Speaker 1: a shot at it. They got a shot at it.
Speaker 1: And the only way they're gonna have a shot at
Speaker 1: they got to know how to shoot. She confidences everything.
Speaker 1: If you knew better, you do better. You know a lot,
Speaker 1: a lot of the issue that we have is the
Speaker 1: people that do know better, when they get better, when
Speaker 1: they find when they figure it out, when they get
Speaker 1: to the paper, they move away, they get away. They
Speaker 1: never look back. They don't go back, and they don't
Speaker 1: look back, they don't reach back, they don't And to me,
Speaker 1: to me, I really do feel like they're a bigger
Speaker 1: issue than the regular person who don't know anything, who
Speaker 1: is uneducated and don't have a But and I know
Speaker 1: some of you out there who got it like that,
Speaker 1: you would thank you all of that. I know you
Speaker 1: think you're better than those people, but you're not. You're
Speaker 1: the problem. You're you're a bigger problem because you know
Speaker 1: big blocking shots, absolutely, you're a shot blocker. Then you
Speaker 1: know better running interference that's absolutely on purpose. Yes, listen,
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Our opposition wouldn't be so
Speaker 1: raggedy if the ones who they had to deal with
Speaker 1: every day that looked like us told them straight up,
Speaker 1: you raggedy. Let me tell you something. I have no
Speaker 1: problem at all. Remember when I said cussing our wife
Speaker 1: folks the check when I say cursing the amount. I
Speaker 1: don't mean calling them names. I mean speaking to them
Speaker 1: about the truth. And they don't like it. It feel
Speaker 1: like I'm calling them everything but the child a girl.
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you the truth. And when I leave
Speaker 1: their office, they go and reach it shut and say,
Speaker 1: he right. See truth, Trump's power. And if you don't
Speaker 1: like the truth, you don't have to like me. And
Speaker 1: one thing I learned is just because you don't like
Speaker 1: me and don't want to do business with me, thank you,
Speaker 1: but no thank you. But I'm gonna tell you the
Speaker 1: truth because I refuse to accept peanuts to be a
Speaker 1: part of the party, ain't gonna do it. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: that's some truth for yo. You know what, let me
Speaker 1: give me a box. I sleep under the box. But
Speaker 1: to God, I served said, he's gonna look out for me,
Speaker 1: just you look out for the people. Remember what I
Speaker 1: told you, watering others automatically water me. So the deal
Speaker 1: that I covered, God, if I take care of Brad
Speaker 1: and Willie, you got me, that's the hell of a deal.
Speaker 1: Like that deal, all I gotta do is look out
Speaker 1: for him. We look out for other people. That's all
Speaker 1: I gotta do. All I gotta do. You mean, tell me, God,
Speaker 1: I all I gotta do a look out for the
Speaker 1: other people. And I'm straight, so the more I can
Speaker 1: look out for you. God got me and he rewards
Speaker 1: me for every time I do something good. And guess what,
Speaker 1: every day I do something good. Every day. I live
Speaker 1: to do something good. That's what I live for. Because
Speaker 1: if you got a zillion dollars, once you get a
Speaker 1: double meat hamburger and some French fries and a drink,
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do the rest of the mother to
Speaker 1: the next time you need to spend something. That's all
Speaker 1: I need right now. We're a lot of like in
Speaker 1: regards that I'd rather eat crumbs with bombs than steaks
Speaker 1: with snakes exactly. You know, why do why? Why? Why
Speaker 1: do we need to do that? And again, our opposition
Speaker 1: only do this because we allow them to do it.
Speaker 1: They just do it because we ain't putting them no resistance,
Speaker 1: no fight, no. And the ones we like I said,
Speaker 1: elect to put in positions, they ain't gonna do nothing.
Speaker 1: They just gonna go along and get along, go alone
Speaker 1: and get along. And I am not the kind of dude. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I ain't got to get along with you. You ain't
Speaker 1: got to like me. You don't have to like me,
Speaker 1: just respect me and I'll tell you something else. Gary.
Speaker 1: Since we're talking about elected officials, I think that's something
Speaker 1: that we need to make sure that we look out
Speaker 1: for when we are deciding if we want to take
Speaker 1: part in the political process and we're gonna back somebody,
Speaker 1: I think that you need to make sure that before
Speaker 1: we select somebody and say I'm gonna put my resources
Speaker 1: behind you, Yeah, my money, you know, my support, my reputation,
Speaker 1: I think we need to make sure that that person
Speaker 1: has a track record of already doing good in the horse.
Speaker 1: Then you can't just pop up out of nowhere and
Speaker 1: tell me all these great things that you're gonna do
Speaker 1: if you don't have a track record already. And this
Speaker 1: is one of the things that problems that people had
Speaker 1: that voted for Donald Trump had the people who know
Speaker 1: teeth in their mouth and the trailer parks when they
Speaker 1: thought that because Trump was a millionaire, it was gonna
Speaker 1: be me. I'm like, look, man, if Trump, if Trump
Speaker 1: loved you and cared about you, he's been sitting on
Speaker 1: money all of his life. Where is his track record
Speaker 1: for doing something for you in the past. He's never
Speaker 1: done anything for you in the past. What makes you
Speaker 1: think once he becomes president he's gonna do some Trump
Speaker 1: and his people And again, everybody knows that's who he is.
Speaker 1: You know, people ask me where what if if I
Speaker 1: was Trump boy me and it was cool, he posed
Speaker 1: to look out for me. I have no problem with
Speaker 1: Trump looking out for his boys, so long as it's
Speaker 1: legal and legit. And we should have the same attitude
Speaker 1: in our community. So long as it is illegal and legit.
Speaker 1: Look out for your boy. And guess what when the oppositionship,
Speaker 1: but why you did it for will A d that's
Speaker 1: my boy, and it's legal and legit. You ain't got
Speaker 1: to like it. Vote me out because when I vote,
Speaker 1: when you vote your boy in, he posed to do
Speaker 1: what he's supposed to do for you because it's legal
Speaker 1: and legit. Now, if you're doing undercover and wrong stuff,
Speaker 1: you don't need to be there. And guess what, anything
Speaker 1: done in the dog come to the light sooner or later.
Speaker 1: If you're doing it in the dog, it's gonna come
Speaker 1: to the Light's gonna come to the light. So you
Speaker 1: think you're getting away, but you ain't going nowhere and
Speaker 1: until we start understanding that public officials is public servants.
Speaker 1: They're supposed to serve us. You know, you walk around almighty.
Speaker 1: I wish I would buy do you for what? But
Speaker 1: what you work for me? And you work for me
Speaker 1: your money and your check you get. I paid you, player,
Speaker 1: and if I pay you, I need you to do
Speaker 1: something for me. And that's the truth. Yeah, I need
Speaker 1: you to do something for me. Gary Man, I really
Speaker 1: do appreciate you any time. It's been an enlightening experience.
Speaker 1: Gave up a bunch of games, and I know you
Speaker 1: got some more game to give. What's the name of
