I love actively black. That's our people. 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:42.200 So the State of the People Power Tour is in progress. 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.760 And you know, for people who don't know, the State 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:49.360 of the People Power Tour is an effort that came 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:53.280 out of the State of the People twenty four hour 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:58.040 marathon that ran at the same time that Donald Trump 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:01.120 was intending to do his what he did his State 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.520 of the Union address. We said, they're gonna be lying 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:10.600 and fear mongering and hate throwing. It's so funny because 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:12.640 anyway else say they said, that's what we said. That's 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.280 what they're gonna be doing over here. We are going 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:20.880 to be organizing, educating, in forming our people and you know, 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:24.319 coming together in community. And I just really have to 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:27.000 give a lot of credit to the entire State of 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:33.119 the People family because it is certainly a labor of love. 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:36.560 A lot of people are involved and working twenty four 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:42.160 hours a day under the guidance of our drill Sergeant Captain, 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:45.640 which is Angela Rye, who has been keeping us going 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:49.240 from day to day. Angela absolutely we have to have 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:53.280 her on to talk about, you know what we have 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:58.200 been able to accomplish as a team, and she's really 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.520 really committed to keeping us on tasks, making sure it 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.120 doesn't fall apart that people don't be like, oh, I'm busy, 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:05.960 I got this going on. You know how we do 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:10.120 it always takes somebody to drive the mission, and she 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.120 definitely is taken on that role. And I know how 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.799 hard it is because as you know, I often am 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.800 in that role and you know, it gets to be 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:19.520 really difficult. 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:21.440 But the State of the People. 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:26.840 Power Tour is now a tour across the country that 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:32.520 really is designed to examine our power right which we 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:37.640 know we have people locally have been doing work for 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:37.960 a law. 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.080 They've never been able to depend on systems. 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:45.400 It doesn't matter who's in office, Democrats, Republicans, whoever. It 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.880 is maybe in their local town, it might be an 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:52.160 independent they still have to have systems in place to 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:56.400 ensure that the Black community specifically and of course other 0:02:56.480 --> 0:03:00.440 vulnerable populations. But this is about black folks that they 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:05.360 can survive sustainability. And we have never ever been able 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:10.560 to rely on the government to do everything that's necessary 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.480 on a hyper hyper hyper local level. 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:14.639 For our communities. 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.840 Now you have some people who get in charge and 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:22.320 they make things worse, and some people who marginally or 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.160 incrementally make things better or at least they don't do 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:29.200 much harm to our communities. And that's kind of where 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.320 we find ourselves. And I respect that there are people 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:35.240 who are just tired of participating in that cycle. So 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.800 the State of the People Power Tour is not about 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.800 who you're voting for. It isn't about that. Now for 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.600 some people locally, it is for them because they have 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:47.080 people that they got, you know, running for office, and 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.520 you know, people who they believe are better for their communities. 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:50.160 And that's fine. 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.960 We're not in any way in charge of at This 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:56.000 tour is not endorsing any particular candidates. 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.920 This tour is not about that. It is really about. 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:02.600 Building power and being in community with our people traveling 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:06.240 the country, meeting folks who have solutions, because again, these 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.520 people have been doing this work. They're like, hey, you know, 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.640 we know this is pretty terrible everything that's happened in 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.720 this country. But over here we have farmers' market, so 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.920 we know how to feed one another. We have jobs 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:24.240 that we've created, community senses, anti violence programs, ways to 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:28.240 govern our own communities. You know, we do all that 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.719 over here. So we going around the country finding our people. 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:33.960 Some of them we know, others we're meeting in this 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:38.680 process uplift their work. We have these big platforms million here, million, 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.880 this one a million people, that one a million people. 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:45.080 All these different organizations have so many people, so building 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.520 power is important again being in a community. And then 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:53.800 you have people mice who are seriously afraid they may 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.560 have been impacted or they're in a situation. Maybe they're 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:01.040 in a job because black folks are in jobs where 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:06.920 they're the diversity, equity and inclusion rollbacks are impacting them, 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.480 so they've either lost their jobs. It's a lot of 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.960 black folks that may not be talking about it, but 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.600 they might not be talking about it publicly, but they're 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.440 certainly calling us behind the scenes, saying they're threatening us, 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:22.640 they're changing everything. They take out black, take out specific 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.080 language that's for our communities. 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:27.679 You know, these things are happening. 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.320 You got people who work for the federal government that 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:31.680 are being terminated. 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.680 You got folks who are feeling it and they know. 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:38.200 And a lot of times, because of the lawsuits, they're 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.200 always telling you don't talk too much about it because 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.600 it's not much you can say when they're fighting to 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.559 get you reinstated, to get the federal workers back. 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.680 So, but there are a lot of people who are afraid. 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:51.400 There's some people none of that's happened to They just 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.600 sitting back watching and they're saying, what in the hell 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:54.440 is going on? 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:55.320 I'm afraid. 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.880 I'm scared, and we don't want our people to be 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.800 out there feeling like the movement has somehow gone, you know, 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.200 black or whatever. 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.040 Dark dark is a better way to describe it. 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.640 No, we're still active, we're still organizing, we're still meeting, 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.680 we're still strategizing, and I think I love this. 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:17.799 Angela says that this tour is a love. 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.680 Letter to black people that were still here and we're 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.120 with you, and you are with us, and we're in 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.880 this together. And when I think about the people who 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:28.960 have been major players, I mean, there's so many people. 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.159 I do not even want to get in trouble by 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:34.360 naming the folks, but I do suggest that people go 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:39.279 to STATEOFTHEPPL dot com, that state OFTTHEPPL dot com where 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.520 you can learn more about those folks who are engaged, 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:46.680 people who are organizing. And you know, many of you 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.839 have already noticed that there is a meme where you 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:54.560 see more and more black people saying I'm in, I'm in, 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:59.080 I'm gonna participate somehow in this tour. And so it's 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.960 ten cities, which is the initial part of the tour. 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.880 There's to be more to be done afterwards everywhere we've 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:13.400 already kicked off in Atlanta, also North Carolina and moving 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:20.200 forward to New Orleans, to Birmingham, Alabama, to California, Alta, 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:26.600 Dina specifically going to Detroit, Michigan, and you know, doing 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.880 some impactful work. And I know they have more places, 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.080 but again, go do the research, check it out, find 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.080 out where you can come. Newark, New Jersey, Louisville, Kentucky, 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.920 which our organization Until Freedom is really engaged in those 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.680 two cities and a lot of people, people with all 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.080 different skills and backgrounds. That's what I love on one 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.760 thing about trauma. When your community or when we get 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.800 hit with trauma, the one thing we will do is 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.040 figure out how to come together. And what I love 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.640 about the State of the People Power Tour is that 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:03.680 you have people working together who are like blona fide grass. 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.640 Roots, down to the ground activists. 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:08.280 I'm talking about the ones that you see them and 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.800 they you will never see them in a room with 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.559 other people. But then you also have folks who are 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:19.320 in the you know, the the more considered to be 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:24.239 let's be clear, you know, talented tenth whatever that means. 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.040 I don't I take that back, that's not even a thing. 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.120 But people who may see themselves to. 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.440 Be very elite and and and and. 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:35.320 Their work, the black bougeoisie, I don't know, they don't 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:36.000 really like well. 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:37.200 They don't like being quoted. 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.880 But I'm saying the grassroots will normally considered the big 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:44.480 wazi or the black BOUGEOISI. I mean, it's pretty much 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:46.720 understanding that we need each other. 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:47.440 Right. 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:52.320 We're at a time in history where all people black, 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.640 old people in marginalized communities really realize. 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.280 How all people realize. 0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:01.040 Well, I'm just saying the majority people realize the times 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.920 we're in, you know, and if you, if you've experienced, 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.360 see what's happening is this those who have experienced the 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:14.400 luxuries of you know, being able to benefit from the 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:18.520 accommodations made in our constitution and being able to benefit 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.959 off d and be able to go to school based 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.280 of dr and be able to get jobs based off 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.720 those situations, not because they weren't smart enough, because they 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:29.120 didn't have opportunities, and opportunities were provided for them. And 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:32.680 now they're able to create generational wealth or were able 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:36.239 to create general and seeing those things diminish and just disappear, 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.520 and those who've never had that are now realizing that 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:42.240 they're on the same exact wavelength. And now they have 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.959 to come together, and we have to come together and 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.280 create what the agenda for Black America is and be 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:51.160 united in that. And like you said, it's trauma. Unfortunately, 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.200 we always unite in trauma, you know, And that's why 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.240 we say, Look, we look at situations. A lot of 0:09:56.240 --> 0:10:00.160 people say, you know, this Trump presidency, you know, even 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.280 though it's way worse than the last one, it's what 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.600 it's going to take to make us revote in the 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.319 manner that we need to to come together and create 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.040 what it is that is necessary for black people. And 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.680 I think this is one of those steps in which 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.520 we go into different states, in different towns and we're 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:17.600 getting the agenda and find out what do you believe 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:18.600 that we need to be doing. 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:19.280 Right. 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.520 I think that's what's always been an issue. You know, 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.560 we all have our individual and say, well, me and 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.320 my people we need this. What do we all need 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.680 collectively that we can have So it doesn't matter who 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.079 the candidate is, right that we come to and say, hey, 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:37.000 this right here is what we need. Black people all 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.760 around this country say this is what we need, you know, 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.400 and when they realize that that's what it is is 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.520 going to take to get our votes and to move us, 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.199 and then we could create our own candidates, right because 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.360 now we have a prototype of what it is. 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.440 So we actually growing our own candidates. 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:55.800 We're growing our own electiveficiers because now we have a 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.640 blueprint of exactly what we want. We're sending our kids 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.760 to the schools, we're educating them the manner we utilizing 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.080 all of our skill sets because now you have those 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:05.679 that have been in the suites and those have been 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:07.600 in the streets, and they're getting a little bit of 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.120 the people from the streets and they're gonna teach you 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:10.720 how to fight there. And then they're telling you the 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.240 sweets is telling you how you navigating that strategy, strategizing, 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.360 And that's what it's gonna take. It's gonna take a 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:21.880 very nuanced, complex, multi you know, intersectional movement for us, 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:26.120 because that's what they've done. They've created, They've created someone 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:34.360 who has the will of their poor people right to 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:39.080 the will. He appeals to the fact that they feel 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:40.520 like they've been disenfranchised. 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:40.800 Right. 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.000 Then he appeals to the white supremacists who want who 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.840 have money and the money will want to be white 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.920 supremacishos who just want to focus on money, and you know, 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:53.520 and they appealing to everything. They appealing to the lower 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.520 viperation and every one of these people, right, And that's 0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:00.400 what America. America is so built on low viberations that 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.560 you know, it seems like the majority, but it's not, 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:06.319 you know, just because that's what media and social media 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.720 teaches us or promotes to us. That's what we need 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.600 to focus on. The more lower vibrational thing we got 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.480 to focus on. If I don't got money, then I 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.400 ain't got this. If we ain't got sex, if we 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.719 ain't got this, if we ain't hoarding. 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.440 All of the resources we need. It's only us. 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.600 We like, there's a whole world, and they have made 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:27.720 us believe America America first is such a crazy thing 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.160 to me, because we have a whole world with billions 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:34.199 of people in it, and we're sitting there telling people, Nah, 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:35.440 we're gonna we're gonna alienate it. 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:36.480 We're just gonna focus on them. 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:41.040 That that ideology in itself is a failing ideology, right, 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.360 because we're supposed to be it's resources. 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:43.560 Is. 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.000 When we travel outside of this country, right, and we 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.839 visit other countries, we realize how beautiful it is, how 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.960 many different nationalities, how many different cultures it is. Why 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:56.720 would we want to isolate ourselves to just America for what? 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:57.640 How does that benefit? 0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:59.200 Why would we want to not want to trade with 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:02.560 other countries and build with other countries and be unified 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.600 with other countries and not have to focus on we 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:07.640 got to have four or five allies because we might 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.200 have to go to war and every week, every week 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.120 we got it, like it doesn't even make sense. And 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.920 but that's what they have succeeded in doing, right, because 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:20.560 people are disenfranchised, and they are purposely disenfranchised. They've created 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.400 all of these things about the immigrants and this, and 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:25.800 they tell you that the reason why you ain't got 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.600 stuff because the immigrant's got it. But they stealing billions 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:30.800 of dollars and they make billions of dollars and they 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.640 able to spend two hundred million a day on shit 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:34.600 that makes no sense. 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:36.080 But you don't have nothing. 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.320 Because the immigrant that came here that didn't have nothing 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.280 is trying to get a job, and they make you 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.760 focus on him and not focus on the people who's 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.000 really stealing from you. But this is what America is. 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.600 And I think in this time right now, blacks need 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:53.520 to be on on cold, on Q and on point 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.400 about what it is necessary for us to get to where. 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:56.760 We need to be. 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.400 But it's gonna be some people who gonna say, well, well, 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.920 ice Cube, he had a plan, and he put the 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:07.920 plan forward and people didn't follow or support. And y'all said, 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.720 I want to remind folks that because I saw somebody 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:17.080 tell a lot the other day that I and no, no, no, 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.880 what I said was timing and everything. And when you're 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:24.360 in the middle of a moment where Lucifer is trying 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:30.640 to become president in this very second, right, my thing 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:35.680 because he ain't do nothing about anything, but. 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:37.640 He was strategic about that. 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.560 But but okay, fine, whatever. 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:45.040 What I said again, let me repeat myself, is that 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:49.480 the time to present the plan is when there was 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:54.880 nine hundred thousand people running for the Democratic nomination, Right, 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.320 that was the time to present the plan so that 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.080 you could find somebody of those. 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:05.160 Even if it wasn't a Democrat, it wasn't Trump. Right, 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:06.960 if you if you were saying to yourself that you 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:10.000 liked the Republicans better, they were saying Republicans, it was 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:11.440 actually something at that time. 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:15.360 But remember they didn't I think they had a primate, 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:17.040 but they were decided. 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:18.920 Pretty quickly he was going to be the guy. 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.080 When I'm saying that, I'm saying that there was a 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:26.000 time when there was nine hundred thousand people running, and 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.800 all I'm suggesting is that that was a great time 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.640 for us to know that you had the plan, so 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.280 we could go force the people to do the stuff 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:37.160 that's in the plan. 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:39.480 Well, I'm sorry. 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:43.640 One last thing and number two is that some of 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.040 us might have wanted to see the plan, so we 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.880 could have actually helped promoted. 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.120 Because if it's a plan for black and America, yeah, 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:51.920 it should be a. 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:53.680 Bunch of people that know about it. 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.440 And sit around. It should be hundreds, not thousands of 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:57.960 black people that feel. 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.760 Like to understand that you don't go meet people about 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:02.240 your plan. That's us. 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.600 Yeah, I mean it wasn't good. I think it was good. 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:06.520 It wasn't good thing. 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:07.520 I think it was a good faith. 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:10.440 I just think that when you understand, organize it, and 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.880 when you're doing something by the people and for the people, 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:14.400 then the people got to be involved. 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:20.160 So the hints the target boycott. From day one, we've 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.960 been trying to keep everybody informed of everything. 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:26.120 It's not it's not easy. It's not easy. 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:30.200 So from my thought of the day today, so you know, 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:35.600 there's a lot happening with Bully Trump and his co 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:37.960 partner co president. 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:43.280 Where is have you seen Elon in Alaska? I ain't 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:47.920 seen Elon. Elon said y'all messing. 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:52.920 With don't figure it out? 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:57.800 Said, look y'all, bread man, and I bet you some 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.880 other people probably called the white said. 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.480 I haven't heard from since Vin was talking about him. 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.840 Yeah, I bet you. So white folk called down. 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:11.440 There to the White House and said, y'all have to 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.359 get this man out of here because he is too much. 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:16.520 He's probably you of it to you had a changeaw 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.720 which I didn't even know that. So just what I'm saying, 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.199 that's what I'm saying. So we ain't heard from him, 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.080 But that doesn't mean he's not still doing this thing. 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:28.720 Plus they don't already allegedly, uh you know, took what they. 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:29.200 Needed to take. 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:32.440 So I ain't heard from since then. 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:36.719 It's just it's just where's he we should do? Where's 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:40.600 Elon Musk? Right? 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:43.800 But he definitely needs to be gone and not but 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:47.600 until it's an announcement that he's absolutely gone, then he's 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:52.080 not gone. And Trump said the other day, oh, well. 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:52.800 What do you say? 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:55.280 He said, no, you know, he's very talented. You know, 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.000 at some point he was going to have to go back. 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:58.040 It ain't been a year. 0:17:58.280 --> 0:17:59.920 At some point you got to go back to work. 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:03.760 Yeah, Stopt, we know three card Malli. 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:05.040 We saw that before. 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:10.320 So we're from New York City. We know exactly about three. 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:14.679 Car We know three card mally so any who, AnyWho? 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.439 I was thinking, you know, because we've been saying as 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:21.239 it relates to this whole Target situation, which, by the way, 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:21.920 a bunch of. 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:26.399 Non believers, Oh you know everybody? Why not everybody? But 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.240 there were people why Target? 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:30.480 Why are you doing this first of all, trying to 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.160 get folks to focus on sixteen things at one time. 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:37.000 It has not ever worked. It's just we just and 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:40.640 the way that the world moves in the speed of lightning. 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:44.200 If you don't have a focus on something. 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:49.879 Your your attention deficit disorder can just take you spiraling 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:56.040 out of control. So we know what we were doing anyway. 0:18:56.880 --> 0:19:02.439 So with that being said, but as we've been talking, 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:07.280 and I told you that in a conversation with a 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.480 meeting that we had with the Target executives Nina Turner, 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:15.119 Jamaal Bryan and myself, we asked, what is the difference 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:21.639 between Target and Delta, Target and costco right, because those 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:27.600 folks have said ten toes down, we staying with diversity, equity, 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.080 inclusion right now, they need to say they're gonna do better, 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:32.440 which we can keep this. There's levels to this thing, 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:34.920 but they said they're sticking with it. They're not getting 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:37.840 rid of their programs, So what is the difference with Target? 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.680 And it made me and when I said it on 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:44.879 the call, sure, I believe that I know, but it 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:49.200 becomes more crystal clear to me as I watch Harvard 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:56.120 because Harvard is being bullied. Donald Trump says he wants 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:59.000 he gonna hold two billion dollars. Now he's up to 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:03.320 another billion, and Harvard said, listen, you can go, you 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:07.080 can kick Rocks. We're gonna sue you, We're gonna fight you. 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.640 And we're saying, no, we're not in the world. 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:18.520 That's why they do produce very very good lawyers. 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:23.160 But there's some great lawyers that are coming from HBCUs. 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:25.840 And other Right, they do they do, they do. 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:29.359 There's people who've gone to Harvard for the most part, 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:32.280 if they really were there, not just because somebody bought 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:34.720 their brought their way in because we saw that we 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.240 know how that was going down. But people who really 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:40.720 went there and studied, they get something from it. And absolutely, 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:46.000 so you're right, but Harvard said, Kickrocks not doing it now. 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:48.440 The funny thing about it, And by the way, Harvard 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:53.000 has a an endowment billions of dollars of an endowment. 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:55.000 That's what endowment to four. 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:59.040 Something happened, there's a rainy day or a situation. You 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:02.639 can still take care of your business and maintain the 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:05.760 institution no matter what's going on. That is a lot 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.800 of rules and this and voting and boards and whatever, 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:11.920 But nonetheless, that's what you have. You have a pocket 0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:14.600 of money or a bucket of money that is there 0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:19.800 to sustain you. Right, So they they basically like, let's 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.199
