Speaker 2: We're doing fine, honey. How are you?

24
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm doing straight, doing straight.

25
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 3: As always.

26
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: One of the things I want to ask a question about.

27
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: You mentioned that reparations shouldn't be the biggest thing on

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: our ticket.

29
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: I didn't say that. Let's pause right there, let me

30
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: pause right there. That's not what I said. I said

31
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: that I'm gonna let you finish, but it's important because

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: we don't want to leave. I want to make sure

33
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 2: you redirect your question. What I said was, she asked

34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: your repar basically, what should be the biggest thing, And

35
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: I said, you should be voting on what's most important

36
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: to you, and then you should look at community. And

37
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: I said, people that shit on people that are not

38
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: just talking about reparations, maybe healthcare is important to them

39
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: for a very particular personal reason. I said that people

40
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: get involved in politics for what is personal to them.

41
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: So I never said that. Now, if you want to

42
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: redirect your question, I'm happy.

43
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I want to redirect the question. I understand, okay,

44
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: I understand that it's a personal issue in their thing,

45
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: and I do commend that for reparations would solve a

46
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: lot of those main issues.

47
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 3: When it comes to.

48
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: Healthcare and stuff that go ahead, because some of the

49
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: issues that we are experienced are economical economics by nature,

50
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: so so reparations would knock out a lot of our issues.

51
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you hear everything that I said with that,

52
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: because I'm having a feeling you didn't because you and

53
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: I'm not saying this to I'm just doing this a

54
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: real training for everybody, because one you said something is leading,

55
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: and then I address that too. I said that economics

56
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: is very important. You need to be able to pay

57
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 2: that hospital bill. But I said it's also important to

58
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: get involved in the healthcare system because even if we

59
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: all got ten million dollars, and even if we all

60
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: put our ten million dollars together, you're not going to

61
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: buy a system. You still have to work within the system.

62
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: You're not going to buy a court indicial system. You're

63
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: not going to be the US Department of Treasury. You

64
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: still have to learn how to operate in a system. Brother,

65
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 2: you're not going to be the pharmaceutical system. So two

66
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: things can be done at the same time. Yes, you

67
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: can solve problems with have money, Yes, absolutely, but you

68
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: still have to work within the system. Two things can

69
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: be done at the same time, what I said is,

70
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: don't shame people for things that motivate them, because the

71
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: thing that's going to make you effective in politics of

72
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 2: what motivates you. And for somebody, that might be mass incarceration,

73
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: that might be healthcare, it might be reparations. But to

74
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: sit here and say that that's going to solve the

75
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: majority or even all is alive because you can have

76
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: all the money in the world, but you are not

77
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: going to be the judicial system. You still have to

78
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: have judges, You still have to have a Supreme Court.

79
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: You still have to have the pharmaceutical company. You still

80
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: have to have hospitals. Even if you went and build

81
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: your own hospital like Gary Chambers, did you not the

82
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: medical board? You can't buy the medical board. Even if

83
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: you got a black bank, you still got to report

84
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: to the US Department of Treasury. Two things can be

85
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: done at the same time. Even if you got your

86
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: own business, you still got to go before the city

87
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: council and get your zoning approved. You understand the difference, brother,

88
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: Two things can be done at the same time.

89
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I get what you're going at.

90
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: What kind of it ain't where I'm going at is

91
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: exactly what it is rich. Black people go to jail

92
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 2: every goddamn day. The judicial system will lock your black

93
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: ass up. I'm not mean that. I'm just being as

94
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: clear as I can. I ain't going nowhere. I'm there.

95
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: I'm telling you what it is, all right.

96
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: The point, the point that I want to bring out

97
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: or just share with you, is it's people like doctor Umar.

98
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: I like the brother, but I don't like that he's

99
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: against lineage space reparations. But yet still he'll ask for

100
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: our donation money and stuff for his school. You can

101
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: see how it can be kind of a little problem.

102
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: I understand that you're not. I'm giving an example of

103
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: when people that are against line each space reparen right

104
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: and the saying that they're for our community, but it

105
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: doesn't really look like that, and how it can be

106
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: leading to our community, and why certain people might be

107
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: frustrated off the fact that our people are speaking against

108
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: lineach based reparations, but they're saying that they're for our empowerment.

109
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: How can I be Yeah, well, you got to ask

110
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: not to Jumar Johnson that so at the end of

111
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: the day, he don't like talking about politics either. I'm

112
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: a political so I'm testling figure out and I'm talking

113
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 2: about politics, and I support lineage based reparations and all

114
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 2: of that, but I know how to win seats, and

115
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 2: I know that reparations ain't gonna happen if ain't nobody

116
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 2: voting for it. That I know, So I talk about

117
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: what you need to do to get in powered to

118
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 2: vote for Unless y'all planning on running up on the

119
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: US Department of Commerce and doing dead presidents and doing

120
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: a robbery, you're gonna have somebody's gonna have to vote

121
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: for it. So that's what I like to talk about.

122
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 2: That's what I'm on. So you got to talk to

123
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: Jumar Johnson about that because he don't like talking about

124
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: politics either. I do, so I can't tell you that, brother.

125
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: I just want to make sure you got my words correct.

126
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: I didn't say it wasn't important, because see somebody to

127
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: hear that in that run with that next minute, you

128
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: know you got some disrecord on YouTube. So I just

129
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: want to make sure world to say I never said that.

130
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: I said you need both. No matter how much money

131
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: you get in the world, you're not gonna be the

132
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: US Department of Treasury. You still have to work within

133
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 2: these within these systems. Johnathan Major's got all the money

134
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: in the world. They gave his black ass a misdemeanor

135
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: for chasing that white woman up the street. So at

136
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: the end of the day, you're still gonna be a

137
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 2: black man in this country. And some of that money

138
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 2: need to be spent on buying candidates and putting candidates

139
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: in place to protect the money that you got. That's

140
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: just facts. That's facts. And anybody with any kind of

141
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 2: money or any kind of anything knows that I've been

142
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 2: an entrepreneur for the last twenty years. I've never had

143
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: no nonprofit and I ain't asked for no donation and

144
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 2: ain't gonna ask for no donation, and I don't do

145
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 2: no crowd fund and I'll do none that I get

146
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: it out the muscle. And at the end of the day,

147
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: I still have to pay taxes. At the end of

148
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 2: the day, I still want to make sure that whoever

149
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: is deciding tax you know what. I'm gonna paying taxes.

150
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: It matters, that shit matters, get reparations. Tomorrow. They put

151
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 2: somebody in office and fifty percent of its tax you

152
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 2: ain't gonna have none of it. If you're not involved

153
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 2: in the process. You have to have both of it,

154
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: and anybody's telling you something different. I would ask how

155
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 2: many races they worked on, how many elected officials? Do

156
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: they even understand how this shit work? So I think

157
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: that is a gimmick to be honest with you. When

158
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: you're talking to a bunch of people who are hurting,

159
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: and all you talk about is money, money, money, my money,

160
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,440

00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: You ain't tell them they still got to work with

00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: their city commissioner. You ain' tell them they still anything

164
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: minority certification. You're not tell them that, YESDI does matter.

165
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 2: You're not telling them that they need to know all

166
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: of this that they I set on the Membership Mission

Speaker 2: the legal and the voters. I did all of this

173
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: for free, to be involved in the system, not being elected.

174
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: If you are not involved in the system and making

175
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: decisions on what you're gonna do with that reparations check

176
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: none of it happens. That's the fact. Yeah, baby, I

00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: That's what the elders say.

00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: do that with that? The mafia don't. The mafia got candidates, judges, police,

188
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,280

Speaker 2: people who are motivated by other things because you can

195
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: tell me to be motivated to like, uh, a certain

196
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 2: type of man all day long. But I'm gonna like

197
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,680

Speaker 2: Somebody got to be over there talking about that. That's

204
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: all I was saying, Brother, that ain't the same, and

205

209
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to take that. You work where we're operationist,

00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 2: don't like just go going all over the place. I

215
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: like to narrow it down. So that's why that's why

216
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: I'm saying that. I know you're not saying I'm him.

217

00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: That's just another Well yeah, you know, Doctorumar be doing this,

219
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,480

220
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: doing that. That's a waste of time. I'm here to

224
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: I just try to keep it narrow.

225
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: And then I have one thing. I'm totally against the system.

226
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: I don't think we should be involved in the system.

227
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: I think that we should be building and competing against

228
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: our creating our own systems to compete against their system.

229
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 2: Going to create the Department of Commerce, Tell me how

00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: own government first.

238
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,839

258
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: play within this system. And all that shit is bullshit,

259
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,680

00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: Well, Well, the reason why I threw that out there,

269
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: it was because they said that we should be operating

270
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: as a nation within a nation.

271
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:22,960

00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: monitor this white folks, and we're gonna monitor that. They've

309
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 2: carved out a district. It's still is still to the

310
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: same criminal justice system. They got their own judges, but

311
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: all of them report to the same judicial system. You're

312
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: not gonna create a new system. Get you gonna get

313
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: your ass to jail thinking that all we got a

314
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: system within a system. Whatever organize that, y'all know the

315
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: conscious organs. I don't want say because I want shit

316
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: on nobody but that old delusional shit we subscribed to

317
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 2: our own shit. Well, go go murder somebody and we

318
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: see what system are you're gonna fallow under. Let's see

319
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 2: what your black ad get pulled off, and we're gonna

320
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: see what system you're gonna be in. I know exactly

321
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: what system your ass gonna be in. It's gonna be

322
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: the United States of America versus you you're gonna get

323
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: your ass a fair case run around it with that system,

324
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: with it a system. I'm not fas a play games

325
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: like that with my people. It's too serious. You gotta

326
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: do that old hypothetical talk. I remember you was in

327
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: there before with that love and respect to your brother.

328
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 2: But I don't get no hypothetical bullshit. You are not

329
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: creating another system within America. Put your hand down because

330
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: class is closed. Let's go on to the next person.

331
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: Love you, brother, but you're gonna do that with somebody else,

332
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: y'all good? Do that. Go get somebody else shit with

333
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 2: that old bullshit. I don't do that because that's crazy

334
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 2: as hell, and it's crazy as hell and better yet,

335
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: prove it to me. Go start it and we'll follow you.

336
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 2: Keep us posted when you follow us. When you get

337
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 2: it going, get your ass on a boat. You got

338
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: a three day weekend. Go on a boat and go

339
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: find an island and start it and we'll all come

340
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: join over that join it. Other than that, it's a

341
00:15:53,080 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: waste of damn time. All right, you stiff, you're up.

342
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 3: Thank you. I appreciate the space and all the work

343
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 3: that you're doing. Tusling. Uh, you know I was looking

344
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 3: to the Push the Line. I was wondering if you

345
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: had any plans for uh, you know, twenty twenty four.

346
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 3: Is that something that we can request. I'm interested in,

347
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: you know, learning you know more about that. So if

348
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: you can talk a little bit more about your plans

349
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 3: as far as what you plan on doing with Push

350
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: the Line in the future and how you know, folks

351
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: can either request you to come to the city or

352
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 3: even you know, I don't know if it's something that

353
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 3: we can uh uh you know, get on a webinar

354
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 3: and whatnot.

355
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: So appreciate thank you for that, and I'm glad you

356
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: had and I got some witnesses in here because people

357
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 2: have asked that before you. If I'm going to give

358
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 2: you the straight honest truth, every year I train dozens

359
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: of people privately, and I'm not available for people privately.

360
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 2: I do that through organizations or you know, word of

361
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 2: mouth and things like that. And I'm gonna be very

362
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: honest with you on why why I do it that way.

363
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: I did that and fore to free to everybody, to

364
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 2: show people that it could be done, and I thought

365
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: it was very necessary. I went in with high hopes

366
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 2: thinking that we could get a sponsor to cover it

367
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: every year for free, because what I don't like doing

368
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: is crowdfunding. What I don't like doing is asking you

369
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 2: guys for money, because what y'all ask is not gonna

370
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 2: do is sit up here and make videos about me grifting.

371
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying you, I'm just saying in general,

372
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna give people the opportunity to sit up

373
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: here and say I'm grifting. I don't want nothing from

374
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 2: you because I run a for profit organization and I

375
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: don't have to offer free training. I'm totally fine with

376
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 2: offering my rate at two hundred and fifty dollars an

377
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: hour to my actual clients, organizations and clients that can

378
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 2: afford to hire me. And so that's what I do

379
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 2: for real and real life. I wanted to do that,

380
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 2: and then I thought about, Okay, well let's do it.

381
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 2: Let me do it online at least one time for free.

382
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 2: And what happened is a bunch of trolls came in

383
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 2: and it was distracting, so that didn't work. And then

384
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: I've had people ask me like Marcelle, who's here, who said, Tess,

385
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 2: why don't you come to South Carolina? And then i

386
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 2: tried to think about, Okay, well, maybe I could charge

387
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: people for the class, which would be one hundred and

388
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 2: fifty dollars for like five classes. I come one day

389
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: and then you get three other classes. I know it's

390
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: worth it because I've been to every single all of

391
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 2: the big major ones. For example, Yell Law School for Women.

392
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 2: I pay three thousand dollars to sit there for three days.

393
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 2: So these classes are very expensive. But what I didn't like,

394
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 2: what gave me paus is every time somebody has you

395
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: pay for something tangible, since that's the words y'all like using,

396
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 2: this is a real class where you get real game.

397
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 2: I wrote the curriculum based upon receipts. I have a

398
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 2: master's in adult education. It's a real class. And I

399
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: didn't because so many people market that in this space,

400
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 2: and they're called grifters and all of that. I don't

401
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: want to be associated with it, and I didn't need

402
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 2: to be. And so I've had probably thirty or forty

403
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 2: people say, hey, bring it to our city, Bring it

404
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 2: to our city. But then when I say, well, y'all,

405
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: raise the money because I can't pay it out of pocket,

406
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 2: you know I'm not going to sit up here and

407
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: take my own money and fly down to a city

408
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: and spend twelve hours. And I mean, I'm just not

409
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 2: I just can't, you know. So what I'm trying to

410
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 2: do to answer your question is I do have some

411
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: people that want to support but I'm gonna be honest.

412
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 2: I said, I want to do it. If I can

413
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: do it once a year, that'd be great. But I've

414
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 2: had to cut off some of these organizations because they

415
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 2: think that they're gonna come in and be quote unquote

416
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: partnering with me, and I'm not gonna have Organization x

417
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 2: y Z that I know. I have to do more

418
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 2: explaining because you know how y'all like to create these theories,

419
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 2: just like he said, nation within the nation. If I

420
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 2: partner with organization x y Z. First thing y'all say

421
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 2: on Twitter, Look at her, I know she sold out.

422
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: Look at her, she over there with them, look at her.

423
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 2: I had people literally come to my training that were

424
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 2: sitting there to be troths. And this is a fact,

425
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 2: sitting there to see if I was gonna be pushing

426
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 2: a Democrat agenda, sitting there to see if I was

427
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 2: gonna be pushing a Republican agenda. I said it in

428
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: the first five minutes of my training. If y'all came

429
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 2: looking to see if I was gonna be pushing something,

430
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 2: you can leave now because whatever you thought you came from, baby,

431
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 2: you ain't slicking to me. I know why y'all came.

432
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 2: We set there for twelve hours and gave everybody nonpartisan game,

433
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 2: and then them same people that came and brought they

434
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 2: black ass in their classroom, jumped on Twitter space and

435
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: talked about me like a dog until I popped up

436
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 2: in the Twitter space and said, but wasn't you in

437
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: my class yep, I sure was. But then why you

438
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: sit over acting like you don't know what it is? Oh?

439
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 2: I was just saying, See, I don't like to play

440
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 2: the kind of games that people play here on Twitter.

441
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 2: I really really don't, because the last time that that

442
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 2: game got played with me on Twitter, my people had

443
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 2: to ask some questions in person. So people that kind

444
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 2: of rock with me, they feel a way about me,

445
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 2: and unfortunately this space is just not a conducer to that.

446
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 2: Unfortunately I wish it was, but it's not. You call

447
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 2: everybody a grifter, They say you're trying to get money,

448
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 2: They say you must be this or that. They think

449
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: that this is actually what I do for a living,

450
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 2: and it's not. It's just something not to the masses.

451
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 2: In other words, it's not something that I feel like

452
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 2: dealing with the headache. It's not worth it. I showed

453
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 2: up at the rally to give people politics. They set

454
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 2: up here and did memes and videos and did all

455
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 2: of that for six months straight. I don't have time

456
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 2: for that shit. I don't And it's not that I'm

457
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 2: afraid or any of that. I just don't have time

458
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 2: for It's foolishness. It's not worth my time to deal

459
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: with the headache, unfortunately. But if I do do it,

460
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 2: it will be a sponsor. Matter of fact, somebody talked

461
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 2: to the other day. He said, well, would you put

462
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 2: our name on? I said, I'll let people know that

463
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: you sponsored it. But I'm not gonna be We're not

464
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 2: gonna be equal, you know, tesslim figure out and such

465
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 2: and such, because they gonna think I sold out. Y'all

466
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 2: already say I sold out every day on the Breakfast Club.

467
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 2: She a Democrat next day, she a Republican next day,

468
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: this day. Every day, y'all say I'm something different. Y'all

469
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 2: can't make your mind up. So I just don't like

470
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: asking people for money, and it's a valuable class unfortunately,

471
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 2: so I just don't. They're not gonna make videos about

472
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 2: me about grifting. I get to the bag without any

473
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 2: of that. I don't. I don't need to ask you

474
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: for you one fifty. I just do that because I

475
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 2: can't go out of pocket. You know what I'm saying.

476
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 2: It takes six hundred dollars for me to get there,

477
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: at least on a ticket. I gotta get a room,

478
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 2: and I still gotta eat. I'm not gonna take money

479
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 2: out of my daughter's mouth for you. I run a business,

480
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 2: not a nonprofit, and I don't like crowdfunded. So when

481
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: y'all say crowdfund, we'll donate. I wish I would. Y'all

482
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: not gonna be sitting there talking about i'ld have gave

483
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 2: you the money's people think they got power, and you

484
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: ain'tna never have that with me. So the business model,

485
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 2: unfortunately just doesn't work. But I am. I am open

486
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: to doing it at least once a year and hopefully

487
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 2: God bless and give you know a sponsor that's willing

488
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 2: to pay for it and not ask for anything in return.

489
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 3: Awesome, are you willing to share. I guess the sponsor

490
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 3: mount or you know or sorry, I think you're in

491
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 3: the back channel to see.

492
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you this, if somebody wants to do

493
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 2: the work without involving me, because I'm not going to

494
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 2: do the work. So if somebody say, hey, I want

495
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 2: you to come to my city, well that would mean

496
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 2: you would need to cover the costs of a ticket

497
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 2: because I'm not going to pay out of pocket. So

498
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 2: that would be five or six hundred dollars for me

499
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 2: to fly wherever you are. You would need to find

500
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 2: a space. I don't want a space to be associated

501
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: with a church or any organization. There's a website called

502
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 2: peer space that's really good. I'd like to do that

503
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 2: because I like to make sure you self that it's

504
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: not associated with anything. Because if I go to the NAACP,

505
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 2: that's what y'all be saying on Twitter. Look at the

506
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 2: shoe order working with the NAACP. We new she was

507
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 2: gonna sell out. See, I got to deal with all

508
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 2: the ignorance. So peerspace dot com that's where you can

509
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 2: get a space like a library, a neutral space, not

510
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: a not nothing ran by nothing, not a you know,

511
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 2: a community center. Not a church, definitely not a church.

512
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 2: Y'all really be saying I sold out so peerspace dot com.

513
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 2: That's a good website. It's like you can find spaces

514
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 2: in most cities. Usually fifty seventy people in a room.

515
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 2: Book that pay for that, and then reach out and say, TASM,

516
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 2: you know what, this is what we have to offer

517
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 2: for the time. We got the ticket covered, we have

518
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 2: the we have the room covered, and this is what

519
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: we were able to come up with. And I work

520
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 2: with you, but I will let you know my keynotes addressed.

521
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,479
Speaker 2: And I make no apologies about it. When I go

522
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 2: speak at universities and all that, it's seventy five hundred

523
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 2: dollars ten thousand, I make no apologies about it. I

524
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 2: wouldn't charge you that for sure. But people got to

525
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 2: do the work. They want me to do the work.

526
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 2: They want me to market, they want me to fight,

527
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 2: and I'm not going to ask nobody for nothing because

528
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 2: y'all not fsit up. Say I'm grifting. I watch y'all

529
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 2: do it. I watch y'all do it all the time

530
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 2: with everybody. Y'all say, everybody grift. Some of y'all let people.

531
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 2: Some people get away with it. But some of y'all say,

532
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 2: everybody grift. Oh, look, she doing it to grift. I

533
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 2: don't need no two thousand dollars from you. That ain't

534
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 2: that's nothing. So I just don't like having to deal

535
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 2: with the foolishness. Unfortunately, and I did try to do

536
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,239
Speaker 2: it online. I did it online for free, and it

537
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: and too many trolls came in. And the information is

538
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 2: too valuable to be planned. So I'd rather do it

539
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 2: one on one. So anybody interested in it, don't contact

540
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 2: me till you get all that stuff together. You get

541
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 2: that together, I'll show up. MM, no problem, baby. I

542
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 2: want us to desperately have it.

543
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 3: I really do.

544
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 2: I want us to desperately have the information. What I

545
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 2: would say you saif is I got over two hundred

546
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 2: podcasts giving y'all game. So what I've told y'all for

547
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 2: now what two hours for free? I've given real you

548
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 2: know solutions. So this is a training, if you will.

549
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: It's not a podcast. It's a training so people that

550
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: want to know, you know, how do I do this

551
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 2: and how to do that? I take these calls all

552
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 2: the time. That's really the training. I don't you don't

553
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 2: have to have you know, quote unquote training to get

554
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 2: some information. But the training is good, though. I will

555
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 2: say that people people do like the training, but I

556
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: just don't have time for the foolishness. I really don't.

557
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: I got my own family, I got three shows. It's

558
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: Friday night. I should be getting ready to go to

559
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 2: happy y'all. But I just love y'all. I love my people,

560
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 2: so I don't. I don't want to have to deal

561
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 2: with all the headaches that I went through and they

562
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 2: thought they ran me off. You ain't ran me off.

563
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 2: I just redirected my energy. I don't have time to

564
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 2: fight y'all and being no disk records and shit, it's

565
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 2: too silly for me.

566
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate it. So the last question is just

567
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 3: a framework. So is it a one day training and

568
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 3: how long is it training?

569
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it can be a one day training. The one

570
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 2: that we did, the one that we did that we

571
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 2: did in real time, that was a one day training.

572
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: We started at about uh I think we started at

573
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 2: seven o'clock on the dot, seven or eight, and we

574
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 2: ended at six. We had a lunch break, and well,

575
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 2: we just plowed through that information. And even with lunch,

576
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 2: we still just plow through it so I can make

577
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 2: it a one day thing, or it can be two days.

578
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 2: One day is really the most affordable because I can

579
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 2: come in on a Friday night, do the training all day,

580
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 2: and then leave out on Sunday so that it doesn't

581
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 2: interfere with my other things that I do. That's the

582
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 2: real thing. MH awesome.

583
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 3: Appreciate it. I'm putting on my bucket list, so we're

584
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 3: gonna make it happen. I appreciate it, and think of

585
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 3: what's service I'm in DC.

586
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I see people do the work first if

587
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 2: they contact me and say, oh can you do this?

588
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 2: And can't do that? And can you know you do it? See,

589
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 2: that's the first start of being an organizer. You figure

590
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 2: out you don't need a lot of people. Get twenty

591
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 2: thirty people in the room. You raise the money, not me,

592
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 2: because I'm not answering them for nothing, because they're not.

593
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 2: If it's coming to this Twitter and say, you know,

594
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 2: I see plenty of people selling their training for five

595
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 2: hundred dollars and two thousand dollars and five thousand dollars.

596
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: I know I could do that if I want to.

597
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 2: I don't want to. I'd rather just get clients, and no,

598
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: I'm not available by the way, anybody listen. I'm not

599
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: available to anybody on Twitter to be a client. Nobody. Sorry, unfortunately,

600
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 2: just how it just got to be what it is, y'all.

601
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 2: Keep too much bullshit going on? What what's the next one? Jake? Yep.

602
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 3: The final person we have on stage is oh, we

603
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 3: just had Jesus's half brother.

604
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 2: I guess jesus half brother dropped off. Okay? Is that

605
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 2: it for everybody? Nothing else? All hearts and minds agree,

606
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 2: are clear? All right? Guys, Well, thank you so much

607

Speaker 2: of time. I'm gonna break it up and chop this

611
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 2: up in thirty minutes at a time. Put a one

612
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 2: hundred if you like this, because I do enjoy talking

613
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 2: to you guys, taking your questions. I put a one

614
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 2: hundred if you got any kind of inspiration. I know

615
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 2: I'm a little rough. I know it's kind of hard

616
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 2: to hear, but guys, I know you can do this.

617
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 2: I really really do, and sometimes we just need a challenge.

618
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 2: We just need a good swift kick with receipts, letting

619
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: you know it's possible. Showing the receipts is really, really possible.

620
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 2: I at no time want you to think that what

621
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 2: you're doing on Twitter is not effective. It's it because

622
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 2: it is. I just want you to start a political

623
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 2: action committee. I want you to actually start it. I've

624
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 2: been talking about it now for over a year, specifically

625
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 2: on Twitter. I want you to start the Political Action Committee.

626
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 2: I want you to raise the money. I want you

627
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: to pay yourselves a salary. I want you to go

628
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: get grants. All this shaming y'all was doing about you,

629
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: they shouldn't be paid for you crazy watch, wouldn't you

630
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 2: want to be paid full time to advocate? It's a

631
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 2: full time job. It's a full time job. It's not

632
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 2: a flex to sit up here and look. That's why

633
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: a lot of y'all can't go by your real name,

634
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 2: because you're scared to lose your job. Well, if you

635
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 2: start a political action committee, you can pay yourself a salary.

636
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 2: You ain't got worry about losing your job. You can

637
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: finally be like me and use your real name, be

638
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 2: more strategic with how y'all moving. I promised to hire

639
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 2: two people from this Twitter space and I have. I

640
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 2: told y'all was gonna hire my sell as I did.

641
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 2: I told you gonna hire Jade. I did not much.

642
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 2: It ain't they full time job. But I pay people.

643
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: Let's put that on the record. I ain't ask somebody

644
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 2: to do nothing for me for free, nothing, and I

645
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 2: didn't cry fun to do it. That's what leadership looked like.

646
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 2: And if you can't pay nobody to help you, well

647
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 2: you're not the boss that you claim to be. That's

648
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: just real talk. I'm just telling you what what leadership

649
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 2: looked like. Pay people for their time, and you don't

650
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 2: have to raise money to pay the same people you

651
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 2: raising the money, and I'm paying you what you just

652
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 2: gave me the raise to pay you. Nothing wrong with raising,

653
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 2: let me get straight. I'm just telling you there's levels

654
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 2: to it. You're not gonna find me doing it. That's

655
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: why I would love to do the train all over

656
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: the country. But we I'm sorry. Too many people are

657
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 2: on this app playing with y'all, and I have to differentiate,

658
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 2: I really do. I have to make myself separate in

659
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 2: a part, you know, because I don't want to be

660
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 2: caught up in that. Some people are really doing it

661
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 2: for the right reason. By the way, I'm not talking

662
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 2: about any one particular person. I'm just talking about the

663
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 2: pattern of what I see y'all do every time somebody

664
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 2: asks for a dollar drifting, every time somebody got something

665
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 2: to say, opt, every time something day in opt, day

666
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: of this, day of that. You ain't of this, you

667
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 2: ain't of that, And I just I just can't do it,

668
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: and it's just not worth it. So social media, unfortunately,

669
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: I just don't like consumer. The consumer sells, you know.

670
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 2: It just it's just not good. It's negative. It's not

671
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 2: people trying to move forward. But I'm grateful for you guys,

672
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 2: because when I did do the training, a lot of

673
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 2: y'all you know that follow me on Twitter, came over.

674
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 2: So I am, you know, grateful for you guys. But

675
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: I just don't want to put myself in a situation

676
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 2: where I got to do a drive by on somebody.

677
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 2: That's really the bottom line. If you like what you
