Speaker 1: Speaks to the planet.

Speaker 2: guess what, I can't wait to see y'all at the

Speaker 2: truck court to keep you fed while you visit us.
Speaker 2: All right, listen, you don't want to miss this. Tap
Speaker 2: in and grab your tickets now at Black Effect dot
Speaker 2: Com Flash Podcast Festival. Say I don't want to ask
Speaker 2: you a question, real good, Let's.
Speaker 1: Just keep a real straight shot with no chase. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a little bit rougher. I'm here for
Speaker 1: those who really believed in the American process, all of
Speaker 1: us street shot, no Chase, set, what's your Girl? Tensel
Speaker 1: figure out on the Black Effect podcast, net work at work,
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, everybody, Good afternoon. So I wanted to do
Speaker 1: a quick training guy, So push the line in case
Speaker 1: you don't know. It is a training program that I have.
Speaker 1: It is nonpartisan, nonpartisan training. The first one that we
Speaker 1: did was in twenty twenty two in Atlanta, Georgia. We
Speaker 1: had three hundred people that came from all over the
Speaker 1: country to Atlanta. The training is for those who may
Speaker 1: want to possibly run for office, those who make you know,
Speaker 1: think about running or maybe running a campaign right now.
Speaker 1: The second is for campaign workers. We call them or
Speaker 1: campaign operatives as well, so you may hear a campaign
Speaker 1: operative or campaign worker, which means like your volunteer coordinator,
Speaker 1: your campaign manager, your volunteer coordinator, anything that actually works
Speaker 1: on a political campaign. The third is organizer, a community
Speaker 1: organizer which rallies people around certain issues, may be pushing
Speaker 1: a certain issue. And then activists. I've even parsed out
Speaker 1: activists because an activist may be somebody screaming and yelling
Speaker 1: in the comments, protests in person, but may not actually organize,
Speaker 1: meaning actually do the work, the planning, everything that's required.
Speaker 1: And you may see a lot of these folks on
Speaker 1: YouTube who are galvanizing, getting you engaged, excited, upset, aware
Speaker 1: of an issue, but it doesn't mean that they actually organize,
Speaker 1: that they actually organize. So I've even set that to
Speaker 1: the side to make sure that we deal with these
Speaker 1: issues separately. If you come to the training, I am
Speaker 1: your trainer. The first one will be June fourteenth, Saturday,
Speaker 1: June fourteenth virtual. People have asked what can you do
Speaker 1: the training virtual? And I was kind of hesitant. I
Speaker 1: only want to do it in person, but it looks
Speaker 1: like virtual is the best option. I have invested in
Speaker 1: the training platform. I'm very very excited about it. I've
Speaker 1: been working on material today. You're gonna get a lot
Speaker 1: of information in the course. Information I'm giving you that
Speaker 1: you can download and then a live, interactive, interactive session
Speaker 1: with me two hours and we're gonna go through the
Speaker 1: information now. Push the Line is a five course, five
Speaker 1: different courses. Each one deals with a certain issue. But
Speaker 1: whether you're running, thinking about running, or want to be
Speaker 1: an organizer or an activist, you will get something out
Speaker 1: of it. Even people get a lot out of business
Speaker 1: as well, because I give you so much information, Thank you,
Speaker 1: doctor Tiffany. I give you so much information that you
Speaker 1: just absolutely no way in hell you don't get something
Speaker 1: from it. Now, the first course is called We Are Soldiers.
Speaker 1: That's where you actually find out what you want to
Speaker 1: do if you want to be an activist, a campaign organizer,
Speaker 1: a work on a campaign, as a campaign operative. You
Speaker 1: actually get to learn those different roles, what those roles
Speaker 1: and responsibilities are. And then the second one is Ambition
Speaker 1: of a Rider, and that's and shut out to me
Speaker 1: for these titles number one. That's where you actually where
Speaker 1: we start talking about the roles in depth, and we
Speaker 1: go a little bit further. I'm not gonna give it
Speaker 1: all the way because you guys need to get enroll
Speaker 1: in the course. The third one after Ambition of a Rider,
Speaker 1: the third one is thinking of a master Plan. That's
Speaker 1: where we go through planning, fundraising, all those different things
Speaker 1: that you need regardless if no matter what role you play.
Speaker 1: Then Stand on Business. That's my favorite one. And then
Speaker 1: the final one is showed me my Opponent. So all
Speaker 1: five of these courses, all of them will give you
Speaker 1: the tools that you need at least as a starting point. So, guys,
Speaker 1: I wanted to do this little free tutorial today just
Speaker 1: to give you a piece of what you will learn
Speaker 1: in the class. By the way, the class is not free,
Speaker 1: because things just can't be free. It will be fifty
Speaker 1: bucks for two hours, twenty five dollars an hour, which
Speaker 1: is certainly reasonable. As FYI, my raid, just so you know,
Speaker 1: for my clients is one hundred and fifteen hour. Just
Speaker 1: want to make sure we're clear. I start at one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen hour. But this training is affordable. You
Speaker 1: don't have to do all five courses. You can do
Speaker 1: whatever one you feel is important to you. You're going
Speaker 1: to learn something regardless, and I think I'm going to
Speaker 1: do it once a month. So it also gives you
Speaker 1: time to work it in your budget to say, Okay,
Speaker 1: fifty bucks a month, I'm going to go to this
Speaker 1: class now. Right now, I'm going to give you a
Speaker 1: piece of the type of information you will be learning.
Speaker 1: And the reason why I'm doing this because I had
Speaker 1: a one of somebody on my team that sent me
Speaker 1: a post about Jasmine crockett ysband. Crockett was talking about
Speaker 1: immigrants and many of you, especially in the conscious community,
Speaker 1: you know, said well, why she don't ever talk about
Speaker 1: black issues, and why she not talking about reparations that way,
Speaker 1: and why she not talking about this all the time.
Speaker 1: So I said, this will be a good, free, free,
Speaker 1: little bite size information that I can give you, guys,
Speaker 1: so that you can actually learn what you need to
Speaker 1: know and have that information with you as you are
Speaker 1: doing your critique of candidates. So, guys, the reason why
Speaker 1: this course has candidates, operative organizers, activists is because each
Speaker 1: one of those are a different role. If you look
Speaker 1: at my push the line logo, I have one person.
Speaker 1: I could have two logos, the main one that you
Speaker 1: see in the training, but then I have another one
Speaker 1: where you have a person that pushes the P, the U,
Speaker 1: the S, and the H. Each person does something individually.
Speaker 1: You may be a part of comment caucus. You may
Speaker 1: be which is those who want to get on the
Speaker 1: digital organizing. You may be an actual campaign worker and
Speaker 1: operative like what Marcelli's does when he's working what we
Speaker 1: call advance. You may want to be an actual candidate,
Speaker 1: an elected official, or you may want to be an activist.
Speaker 1: The problem is people don't understand the different roles. So
Speaker 1: what you do is you set yourself up for an
Speaker 1: expectation that is one not accurate based upon the job description,
Speaker 1: and two you set yourself up to say, well, the
Speaker 1: elected officials not doing anything. Now, I also want to
Speaker 1: put ownership on the elected official for not properly telling
Speaker 1: people what it is they actually do. The problem with
Speaker 1: today's elected official is they want to do it all.
Speaker 1: They want to be the elected official, they want to
Speaker 1: be the organizer, they want to be the activist, and
Speaker 1: they sometimes they want to be the campaign worker. Now
Speaker 1: you will learn if you're running your small campaign how
Speaker 1: you will have to put on multiple hats. But we'll
Speaker 1: get to that in the actual training. But for the
Speaker 1: sake of this impromptu training, I want to talk about
Speaker 1: thank you Tamer for asking people to hit the like button,
Speaker 1: share it like button, all of that. And for those
Speaker 1: who are asking what's the one for organizers again, co
Speaker 1: T just help people in the comments. The training is
Speaker 1: for everybody, whether you're an organizer, an activists, a candidate,
Speaker 1: a campaign operative. You're going to get all of the
Speaker 1: information in any training that you sit down with me,
Speaker 1: because the principles are the same and I'm going to
Speaker 1: deal with each one depending on what your role is.
Speaker 1: So let's just for this particular training, let's deal with
Speaker 1: the elected official versus the activists. So many of you
Speaker 1: are saying, well, why Jasmine or anybody else for that matter,
Speaker 1: why is she not talking about black issues all the time. Well,
Speaker 1: let me tell you exactly why. Now, whether y'all like
Speaker 1: this or not, this is just a fact. And what
Speaker 1: has happened is, guys, you have set yourself up to
Speaker 1: expect an activists, to expect an elected official to be
Speaker 1: an activist. Let me give you the definition of a
Speaker 1: political candidate to seek election and convince the public that
Speaker 1: they are the best choice to represent their interests and
Speaker 1: make decisions on their behalf. I want to make sure
Speaker 1: I got people in the classroom. I need somebody to
Speaker 1: put there thh ei r there there there there their interests,
Speaker 1: meaning their constituent's interests. Now, let's deal with the activists.
Speaker 1: Definition of activists to raise awareness, influence the public, which
Speaker 1: is what a lot of y'all doing these podcasts on
Speaker 1: YouTube and pressure somebody, put pressure institutions or government to
Speaker 1: make changes related to a Pacific issue specific issue like
Speaker 1: human rights, climate change, racial justice, education, etc. Now, this
Speaker 1: is where y'all get the This is where y'all get
Speaker 1: a twisted and confused. The elected official. The there, the
Speaker 1: d h ei R is the constituents in their district.
Speaker 1: A congressional candidate has, probably, depending on how big it is,
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands, which is why I would never be
Speaker 1: a federal candidate. When may y'all say tells you, why
Speaker 1: don't you run for Congress, I'm not interested in that
Speaker 1: at all. Explain why, uh a federal candidate has hundreds
Speaker 1: of thousands of people in their district? That is the there. Sean,
Speaker 1: you're about to get put out of class? Do you
Speaker 1: want to get put out of class? Because that's what's
Speaker 1: about to happen. Sean, You're about to get put out
Speaker 1: of class. Don't worry about the back. You don't already
Speaker 1: made a comment about lipstick. You're not already comment about plant.
Speaker 1: You're about to get y'all know you one of my regulars.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna sit up here and to be disruptive
Speaker 1: in this class. So, Sean, do you want to get
Speaker 1: put out of class? Or what I'm I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: you put out of class? And then write one hundred times,
Speaker 1: a thousand times. I will not disrupt the class and
Speaker 1: make you upload it to my DM before you get
Speaker 1: back in alive. That's what's going to happen if you
Speaker 1: keep it up, because I know you want of my
Speaker 1: regulars stop disrupting. You're doing the work of the enemy
Speaker 1: right now. So they're the t eir No, it's not
Speaker 1: a problem, love it the tchei R. They are representing
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of constituents. This is not making an
Speaker 1: excuse for any black elected official. Absolutely, they should be
Speaker 1: concerned about their community, like Rachida Taliba is concerned about
Speaker 1: the Palestinian community. They absolutely I would expect them to
Speaker 1: lead most things considering their black blackness. However, if you
Speaker 1: are a political candidate, hundreds of thousands of people vote
Speaker 1: for you, and you are representing all of their interests.
Speaker 1: So when you hear elected officials talk about a little
Speaker 1: bit of everything, that's what they're supposed to do. Because
Speaker 1: if they especially if they're a congressional candidate, are a
Speaker 1: presidential candidate, that's exactly what they're supposed to do. So
Speaker 1: I know you guys love sharing the wyn. Harris said,
Speaker 1: I can't just only help black people I know y'all
Speaker 1: love sharing it. I know y'all love talking about that,
Speaker 1: but that's the point of being an elected official. That's
Speaker 1: why I'm not interested in being one, unless it is
Speaker 1: for a city commissioner, which you guys don't like. Y'all
Speaker 1: don't like city commissioner because y'all it's not sexy enough
Speaker 1: for you. But a city commissioner in a small town
Speaker 1: like South Fulton, because South Fulton in Georgia is ninety
Speaker 1: eight percent black, so all of my constituents would be black,
Speaker 1: so I could just talk about black black black black
Speaker 1: black black black. Not interested in a congressional position because
Speaker 1: that means I got to talk about everybody's issues and
Speaker 1: everybody's community, and I'm just not that type of a candidate.
Speaker 1: I would rather only talk about the issues that motivate
Speaker 1: me in politics. So that is why I'm not a candidate,
Speaker 1: especially on a federal level. Maybe possibly one day on
Speaker 1: the local, but why I can't be a candidate on
Speaker 1: a federal level because I actually understand the job description. Now,
Speaker 1: these candidates they go wrong and making you believe that
Speaker 1: they're going to talk about one thing more than the other.
Speaker 1: That's on them because they should absolutely be clear on
Speaker 1: what their job description is, and it is to represent
Speaker 1: everybody in their district. Now, Trump did a little bit different.
Speaker 1: He said, damn everybody in America. He's only gonna push
Speaker 1: a line for the people that voted for him. That's
Speaker 1: actually kind of how it works. But if you are
Speaker 1: in a district, I know y'all want, oh, he everybody's president,
Speaker 1: and no, not really, he only got to please the
Speaker 1: people that put him in. I know y'all don't like that.
Speaker 1: I know that's not the way that y'all are. I
Speaker 1: know y'all got y'all felt real good when Obama said,
Speaker 1: I'm still your president. I'm everybody's press. But the reality
Speaker 1: is you're supposed to cater to the people that got
Speaker 1: you in because those are going to be the people
Speaker 1: that keep you in. Will deal with that later on.
Speaker 1: With that said, if you are depending upon your district,
Speaker 1: and you are at a diverse district, and I'm using
Speaker 1: jas Min Crockett as an example, not making excuse. Y'all
Speaker 1: love running with excuses. Y'all really got a cult mentality.
Speaker 1: But anyway, using Jaz mccrockett as an example, the reason
Speaker 1: why she's talking about immigration she's in Texas, somebody put
Speaker 1: in Texas. Are you aware how many immigrants are in Texas?
Speaker 1: Is on the border, guys, So she's going to talk
Speaker 1: about immigration. And if you don't get that, it's because
Speaker 1: you've been listening to outside influences that are saying she
Speaker 1: should be this and she should be that, which that
Speaker 1: is what an activist is supposed to do. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get to that in a moment. But the elected official
Speaker 1: talks about their thh eir their constituents, not you there,
Speaker 1: not me there, I'm not the there, the actual constituents.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of times why you see these nationalties
Speaker 1: candidates that go national and do a lot of these
Speaker 1: national media why they end up crashing out. What do
Speaker 1: you mean by that, Teslam? It's not about doesn't make
Speaker 1: it right? A little walk, It's what it is. See,
Speaker 1: when you sign up for a job, you have to
Speaker 1: do the job descriptions. What do you mean it doesn't
Speaker 1: make it right? If I'm saying I am asking a
Speaker 1: hundred one thousand people to vote for me to represent
Speaker 1: their interest, that means I have to do a little
Speaker 1: bit of both. See, this is where you're getting confused.
Speaker 1: The activists is supposed to push the candidate to make
Speaker 1: sure that their interest is getting pushed. That there's an
Speaker 1: animation the who WHG. I love that cartoon because it's
Speaker 1: a bunch of little people screaming, say, hey, what about me?
Speaker 1: What about me? The activist is supposed to put the
Speaker 1: pressure on the candidate to make sure that their interest.
Speaker 1: So that means, if I'm a black actives, hey what
Speaker 1: about black people? What about black people? If I'm a
Speaker 1: immigration what about immigration? What about immigration? If I'm health care,
Speaker 1: what about health care? What about health care? And whoever
Speaker 1: is the loudest, whoever puts the most pressure, whoever is
Speaker 1: the most responsible to get that candidate elected or unelected,
Speaker 1: those are the ones that get their their issues handled first.
Speaker 1: That's how it works. It's not about don't make it right.
Speaker 1: Let's be smart, let's put on our thinking caps. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you what the job description is. So you're supposed
Speaker 1: to push the candidate. For sure, talk about black iss,
Speaker 1: you talk about black as, you talk about black iss,
Speaker 1: you talk about black gets absolutely, But that candidate also
Speaker 1: has to listen to everybody else that votes them in.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm not interested in a congressional seat because
Speaker 1: you have to plase too many people. What do you mean,
Speaker 1: how do we get ahead? You organize harder, you activate harder.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked that question. There's a big difference
Speaker 1: between an activist that is screaming and yelling online and
Speaker 1: an organizer. There is a big difference. This is what
Speaker 1: y'all don't want to hear, but this is how it is.
Speaker 1: There's a big difference between the activists and the organizer.
Speaker 1: The organizer actually gets people in the room, actually organizes,
Speaker 1: actually plans, actually puts policy together, actually starts a pack,
Speaker 1: actually gets movement. See. I can be an activist and
Speaker 1: scream on this podcast all day, post these videos all day.
Speaker 1: But two weeks ago, when the one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: people came to the room, somebody in the comments put
Speaker 1: came to the room, showed up in the room, drove
Speaker 1: six hundred miles to be in the room, came from
Speaker 1: Cleveland to be in the room, claim from New Jersey
Speaker 1: to be in the room. Came from Houston to be
Speaker 1: in the room, came from California to be in the room.
Speaker 1: That's called organizing. That's a difference between activists screaming in
Speaker 1: the comments, what about us? And organizing to actually get
Speaker 1: it done, boots on the ground, come on in the room.
Speaker 1: Big difference. And how do you activists want to scream
Speaker 1: and yell online but you don't want to organize, and
Speaker 1: then y'all run around saying the immigrants ain't got organized.
Speaker 1: That's a flat out lie. Let's look at Michigan. The
Speaker 1: Michigan campaign, will Rashida Talib organized. See, she wasn't just
Speaker 1: yelling on the microphone, she wasn't just yelling on YouTube.
Speaker 1: She organized one hundred thousand people to raise their hand
Speaker 1: and say I'm willing to sit out of the election
Speaker 1: if there's no cease fire. And she didn't just say it. See,
Speaker 1: anybody can say something in the comments. They actually organized,
Speaker 1: meaning put money together to actually get it on the ballot.
Speaker 1: The word uncommitted. Are y'all following what I'm saying? I
Speaker 1: know the podcasters don't want to tell you this because
Speaker 1: then it makes them happy to actually organize. I appreciate
Speaker 1: the activist. I appreciate the podcasters that activate, that do
Speaker 1: activism work. But you must understand the difference. You gotta
Speaker 1: understand the difference, guys, when they started that Michigan campaign.
Speaker 1: They got the money, they got a local pack political
Speaker 1: action committee. Be quiet a little wat just listen. Of course,
Speaker 1: you can focus on your people. Are you listening? What
Speaker 1: I'm telling you is you need to find your role
Speaker 1: within this and right now you're just talking and it
Speaker 1: needs you to listen. Needs you do more listening. Of course,
Speaker 1: you can let me say loud. Of course you can
Speaker 1: focus on your people. You're supposed to focus on your people.
Speaker 1: But it's not just focusing on your people, it's finding
Speaker 1: what your job is in this. I'm answering your question
Speaker 1: on how do we get changed? Put your thinking cap
Speaker 1: on and be quiet for a minute, or see me
Speaker 1: at the class Rashida to leave. They organized money, resources, muscle,
Speaker 1: and hustle to get uncommitted on the ballot and had
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand people go down to the voting precinct
Speaker 1: and not vote for Joe Biden but actually checked the
Speaker 1: box to vote for uncommitted. Then they took those hundred
Speaker 1: thousand numbers because now it's not just talking in the comments.
Speaker 1: Y'all do a good job of talking in the comments,
Speaker 1: but as soon as you start organizing, you're gonna really
Speaker 1: start seeing some real pressure because talking in the comments
Speaker 1: does do a lot, don't get me wrong, but it's
Speaker 1: the organizing side that you're missing. Then the media knew
Speaker 1: for sure that it was one hundred thousand people that
Speaker 1: said we ain't rocking with you, and that's when Trump
Speaker 1: sided and the Democrat side had went and had a
Speaker 1: conversation with them. You're saying, how do we leverage that? First?
Speaker 1: You need to organize. Don't worry about leveraging first, you
Speaker 1: need to organize. See it steps to this. It's a process.
Speaker 1: What do you mean you can leverage what you do?
Speaker 1: You haven't organized yet, y'all love skipping the process. Yesterday
Speaker 1: at the my ups store, he said, I'm looking for
Speaker 1: a sign. You know, I'm going to law school. I said, well,
Speaker 1: I'm you a sign I just got admitted. He said, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about going to this school and going to
Speaker 1: that school, and then after that, I'm gonna practice this
Speaker 1: and I'm a practice dad. And da da da da dah.
Speaker 1: He said, don't you have to take the l SAT?
Speaker 1: I said, hold on, wait a manu, you don't even
Speaker 1: know you have to take the l SAT. Okay, let
Speaker 1: let's let's slow it down a little bit. First, take
Speaker 1: the l S ahead, get a median score, then see
Speaker 1: where your score aligns with the school. Then actually put
Speaker 1: it in your application, then put in your letters of reference.
Speaker 1: Then do the work to be competitive. Then actually go
Speaker 1: to law school. Then actually graduate law school, then actually
Speaker 1: past the bar. Y'all love skipping the process. Y'all love
Speaker 1: skipping process. Law school is a process. Organizing is a process.
Speaker 1: Politics is a process. Y'all hate process. Y'all want everything
Speaker 1: to be in two minutes. That's why we got to
Speaker 1: put too many clips out because y'all hate the process.
Speaker 1: So you're not at the leverage stage. Because if I
Speaker 1: would to ask you right now what organization are you
Speaker 1: a part of that's actually organizing, you wouldn't have an answer.
Speaker 1: So first you need to figure out how do I organize?
Speaker 1: How do I get busy? Being active in the comments
Speaker 1: is one part of it, but you must organize. And
Speaker 1: to say immigrants are not organizers is a lot because
Speaker 1: dak of the Dream Network is one of the largest
Speaker 1: packs in the country. They absolutely are organizing. They absolutely
Speaker 1: have a political action committee, They absolutely raise funds to
Speaker 1: push immigrant issues. To say otherwise, it's just say flat
Speaker 1: out live and it's miss leading you and to the
Speaker 1: information that you actually need to organize put a five
Speaker 1: minute chatter if it makes sense. So, yes, you are
Speaker 1: supposed to pressure the elected official. Absolutely, that is the
Speaker 1: number one job of an activist, stay on their head
Speaker 1: about our issues. But if you are expecting an elected
Speaker 1: official to only talk about one single issue and not
Speaker 1: everybody in their in their district, they will lose. That's
Speaker 1: why Bowmen who talk so much about the Palestinian plight,
Speaker 1: which I'm mad, but he operated it like an activist
Speaker 1: and crashed out. You know why he crashed out because
Speaker 1: the majority, if not half of his district are Orthodox
Speaker 1: Jewish people. So y'all mad, y'all blaming it on APAC No.
Speaker 1: And Bowman's a friend of mine, our colleague of mine,
Speaker 1: and I told him the same thing. You can't do it.
Speaker 1: Rashida to live do she as derboy Michigan. That's the
Speaker 1: majority of Palestinians. So she was able to push a
Speaker 1: hard line for GAZA and still be elected. You came
Speaker 1: over and pushing a hard line with some of your
Speaker 1: district black folks, who I'm sorry, that's not what they're
Speaker 1: talking about on a daily basis, it ain't no thin
Speaker 1: line to walk. Listen to me. I'm the trainer. It
Speaker 1: ain't a thin line to walk. So actually, very clear line.
Speaker 1: You're not listening. I'm gonna have you see me after
Speaker 1: the class a little walk. You're gonna be writing in
Speaker 1: a minute're gonna be right now. I will listen. I
Speaker 1: will slow down on ADHD, I will slow down on
Speaker 1: the knee to hurry up and type and not listen.
Speaker 1: I'm just teasing. I will make you right though, and
Speaker 1: submitted PDF. Well, you don't have to read the room,
Speaker 1: miss Sumbling. You just need to read your constituents in
Speaker 1: your district. The district is very clear. It tells you
Speaker 1: who's in your district, how, what their issues are, what
Speaker 1: the demographics are. You ain't got to read the room.
Speaker 1: The information is right there. Go to ballot Pedia, guys
Speaker 1: and look at anybody's district, Like right now, Jasmin Krack,
Speaker 1: at one hundred and thirty thousand people in their district.
Speaker 1: I can see how everybody vote, who they rock with.
Speaker 1: I can see her vulnerability, I can see all of that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna drop the link in here for any questions
Speaker 1: that you guys have taking questions on the YouTube. You
Speaker 1: want to jump in and ask questions, you can turn
Speaker 1: your lovy not you, sweetheart, because you love coming on here.
Speaker 1: This is not we talk all the time. Let somebody
Speaker 1: else come in and ask questions. Love you to death.
Speaker 1: He's gonna always rock with me heavy. But this is
Speaker 1: for people that have actual questions about the lesson today.
Speaker 1: I just dropped the stream. You can turn your camera
Speaker 1: off if you have any questions. This is what you're
Speaker 1: getting in the push the line training that we're doing
Speaker 1: two hours at a time. This is the style of
Speaker 1: training that you're getting, real life examples, real life on
Speaker 1: how it actually works, on real time, real definitions, and
Speaker 1: the absolute truth, the absolute truth. This is not about
Speaker 1: me trying to get clicks and likes and tell you
Speaker 1: what you want to hear and throw out red meat
Speaker 1: because I need to keep you upset. This is about
Speaker 1: the real deal, based on the thirty plus campaigns that
Speaker 1: I've worked under my belt. I'll take your questions now.
Speaker 1: You can either type it in the at the bottom
Speaker 1: of the comments or jump on the live. I am
Speaker 1: going to upload this to straight Shot No Chaser because
Speaker 1: the information is just really, really good and we need
Speaker 1: to get this information out. We must train you guys
Speaker 1: on the various roles and how you can actually help
Speaker 1: and get in where you fit in and what does
Speaker 1: that look like in realistic expectations for the various roles.
Speaker 1: And I blame candidates for real, I really do. I
Speaker 1: blame candidates because they want to do too much. They
Speaker 1: want to be the activists, they want to be the
Speaker 1: loudest one. They also want to be the candidate. They
Speaker 1: also want to be the organizer, they want to be
Speaker 1: a campaign managed, they want to do everything. And candidates
Speaker 1: this is the reason why you see four hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty five people in Congress and you only see less
Speaker 1: than ten who are always on the microphone because they're
Speaker 1: filling many, many roles. And a lot of that is
Speaker 1: because we don't have the leadership. We really don't. So
Speaker 1: I know, I know why they feel like they gotta
Speaker 1: do it. Because if I ask you to name five
Speaker 1: activists who are loud on the national stage, you probably
Speaker 1: can't name five. Damn show can't name ten unless you
Speaker 1: go way back to the sixties. Al Sharpening all them.
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of y'all don't rock with
Speaker 1: Al Sharping. Let's see up We're gonna bring Casey up,
Speaker 1: and you are welcome to turn camera on or off.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people don't like the camera,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna bring you on up.
Speaker 3: I don't mind having don't I don't mind having the cameraing.
Speaker 1: Hello, I see you all the time to comments, thank
Speaker 1: you for joining me.
Speaker 3: So I just thank you for this information. I'm super
Speaker 3: excited that it's gonna be virtually because trying to make
Speaker 3: them person is difficult, especially me who stays in Seattle.
Speaker 3: My question is are you able to like what if
Speaker 3: you're not sure where your strengths is? So like if
Speaker 3: we take this these courses. When we take this courses,
Speaker 3: are you able to pinpoint or somebody on your team
Speaker 3: able to pinpoint a strength and a person that can
Speaker 3: guide them to You're better over here, you're better over there.
Speaker 1: Does that make sense?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Make little sense. First of all, the training is with me,
Speaker 1: So when you sign up a training, you're working directly
Speaker 1: with me. When we open up the floor for questions,
Speaker 1: if people have questions, I can answer that in order
Speaker 1: for me to tell somebody, Hey, you know, is it
Speaker 1: Casey or Cassie, Cassie Cassie. In order for me to say, oh, Cassie,
Speaker 1: you're better at this or that. I would never do
Speaker 1: that because I haven't done a strength of SWAT analysis
Speaker 1: with you. So when I'm working with people on on one,
Speaker 1: I do a SWAT analysis for those who don't know strengths, weaknesses,
Speaker 1: opportunities and threats. I can't just do that just off cuff.
Speaker 1: You know that you're welcome to ask me a question
Speaker 1: because it will be interactive just like this, but I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to tell you what you're better at,
Speaker 1: and also even what I what what I find a
Speaker 1: lot and I and by the way, i'm not working
Speaker 1: with people one on one. I do want to put
Speaker 1: that out there because a lot of people do ask
Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't have that availability. But I'm
Speaker 1: always able to answer questions. What people also will find
Speaker 1: is you're going to give me the strengths and weaknesses
Speaker 1: that you have assessed. I'm usually at my best when
Speaker 1: I'm telling people something that they don't know. I'm telling
Speaker 1: them what they think they know. I'm telling them what
Speaker 1: they thought you know. I've worked with a lot of people.
Speaker 1: I'll use the Michelle's examples. She's like, oh no, I'm
Speaker 1: good at this. No, actually you're good at something else.
Speaker 1: So a lot of that comes in observation and working
Speaker 1: with people. Somebody may not know their gift and they
Speaker 1: may not be like you know, have you ever thought
Speaker 1: about X, y Z. But to answer your question, the
Speaker 1: training does like boot camp. So with boot camp in
Speaker 1: the military, and I reference this on Jamal both of
Speaker 1: Jamal Brin's podcast in the military's design to get you out.
Speaker 1: It's designed when you sign up to make you question
Speaker 1: everything about yourself. My style is very similar. Most of
Speaker 1: your political trainings are designed to hype you up and
Speaker 1: make you feel good and make you think you can
Speaker 1: take on the world. I'm saying that as being a
Speaker 1: student of Congressional Black Hawcast Political boot Camp. I've been
Speaker 1: to Yell Law School for Women of Training. I've been
Speaker 1: to Go Run Lead, I've been to the White House Project,
Speaker 1: I've been the Ruthless Emilis List. I've been to all
Speaker 1: the top trainings and they all kind of have the
Speaker 1: same vibe with more focused on motivating you to take
Speaker 1: on the world. And then you leave with no real expectations.
Speaker 1: You leave with feeling defeated when you get your first
Speaker 1: know when you get your first reality of what it
Speaker 1: really is. And so that's the reason why I did
Speaker 1: this training because people need to know the real real deal.
Speaker 1: So once you get through with my training, whether you
Speaker 1: take one or off five, you will at least have
Speaker 1: the information the toolbox to question yourself on I don't
Speaker 1: know is this really for me or not me? So
Speaker 1: you do get the information. I just can't tell you individually.
Speaker 1: So for example, if somebody saying, I just do not
Speaker 1: like raising money, I hate asking people for money, I
Speaker 1: do too. I hate it. I even struggle with even
Speaker 1: put my cash apt out. If you struggle with raising money,
Speaker 1: being a candidate's not gonna work. If you struggle with
Speaker 1: people like you don't want people thinking they got something
Speaker 1: on you. You know, I gave you money. So this
Speaker 1: this that you're gonna struggle with being a candidate. So
Speaker 1: I give you all of the different things that you
Speaker 1: need to know, you know, to be aware of, so
Speaker 1: that you can kind of find your place. If you're saying,
Speaker 1: if you're somebody that never want to put your name
Speaker 1: out there, never want to say your name, you always
Speaker 1: want to hide under the hot dog eighty five ninety two,
Speaker 1: where you're not going to be an effective activist if
Speaker 1: you can't stand on business on who you are, because
Speaker 1: your credibility has to mirror that. You can't just run
Speaker 1: around saying anybody can say whatever they want to say
Speaker 1: on this line. You know, anybody say what they ever
Speaker 1: want to say on ig The credibility has to align
Speaker 1: with your actual receipts. So somebody saying, damn, I don't
Speaker 1: want to really put my name out there, I don't
Speaker 1: want to risk my family, Okay, cool, Then maybe you
Speaker 1: can get in the digital organizing of it all the activist,
Speaker 1: you know, the organizer. Maybe there are some other things
Speaker 1: you can do, Maybe you can work behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: So yes, regardless of And the reason why this training
Speaker 1: is so important is because I'm not When we did
Speaker 1: it in Atlanta, we had a room for each one, candidates, operatives,
Speaker 1: and organizers, and I went in each room to try
Speaker 1: to touch on as much as I can. But I'm
Speaker 1: the trainer, so I'm talking to all three virtually, so
Speaker 1: I will be able to say, Okay, for organizers, this
Speaker 1: applies to you. For activists, this applies to you. For candidates,
Speaker 1: this applies to you, so you'll get the basically the
Speaker 1: fundamentals it's not an advance. You know, there's other things
Speaker 1: that I do for advance, but you'll get the core
Speaker 1: fundamentals that will either or help you assess what you
Speaker 1: need to do, will either confirm that you're in going
Speaker 1: in the right direction and then also giving you the
Speaker 1: actual tools the steps. You know, a lot of these
Speaker 1: people who be talking they can't give you the steps
Speaker 1: and never worked on a campaign, so they can't tell
Speaker 1: you one, two, three, four five. You know that type
Speaker 1: of thing? Does it answer your question?
Speaker 3: That answers my question? So I'm like, what I mean
Speaker 3: because my dog's making noise in the background. But I
Speaker 3: just wanted to say thank you for that that answers
Speaker 3: my question. But also I would be remissed if I
Speaker 3: didn't say congratulations.
Speaker 1: You are such a h I look up to everything
Speaker 1: that you be doing.
Speaker 3: So I just say thank congratulations to the.
Speaker 1: H Law School.
Speaker 3: Just manulations and just keep being the best that you are.
Speaker 3: I just man, You're just so amazing. So they no,
Speaker 3: I'll be taking my question, oh for sure.
Speaker 1: And I asked me in real time, and maybe I
Speaker 1: can give you an answer. What prompted you to ask
Speaker 1: that question?
Speaker 3: If you feel like you and I don't mind answering
Speaker 3: because to ask the question about like knowing.
Speaker 1: Where you get in, like you know, telling people with
Speaker 1: their strengthen you.
Speaker 3: Because if I I've been thinking about getting into like
Speaker 3: maybe for the like on a city council or something,
Speaker 3: and so I'm getting ready to submit a application for
Speaker 3: it's like a community leadership. You don't know if you
Speaker 3: get im just gonna apply, but they train you into
Speaker 3: or they kind of move you into being on like
Speaker 3: boards or in community.
Speaker 1: Or just I want to get more involved in my city.
Speaker 3: I'm already involved, but I want to get more involved
Speaker 3: like on a maybe a politics side when you think
Speaker 3: of of the what my city is not doing for
Speaker 3: the city.
Speaker 1: If you have been slow politics, yes, what are you thinking?
Speaker 1: You want to be a candidate or you're trying to
Speaker 1: decide do I want to run for office? Or you
Speaker 1: trying to decide what you want to do within leadership.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to decide either like where I fit in.
Speaker 3: Like like when you said if you're not good at
Speaker 3: asking for money, I'm good at asking people.
Speaker 1: Money, but I will if you don't like it. You
Speaker 1: may not be good at it, but you can still
Speaker 1: do it. So most candidates. We literally have to like
Speaker 1: force some do call time. So let me give some
Speaker 1: clarity on that. I have triggers around asking, like real
Speaker 1: triggers around people feeling like they got something over me
Speaker 1: or what I got, real like psychological triggers. So it
Speaker 1: doesn't work for me. But it doesn't mean I don't
Speaker 1: do it. I have I have to put I'm putting.
Speaker 1: I got my cash up here. Now, y'all tip the trainer,
Speaker 1: like I have to do it or you're not going
Speaker 1: to run a business. So when I say that, it's
Speaker 1: just certain things like but you can get good at
Speaker 1: it because we're gonna force you your campaign manag We're
Speaker 1: gonna force you to sit down and do caught well
Speaker 1: we call call time. But to answer your question on
Speaker 1: knowing if you want to be a candidate or not,
Speaker 1: and this applies to everybody you, this is not something
Speaker 1: that you can That leadership course, my course, anything else
Speaker 1: can teach you the tools you need. But to be
Speaker 1: a candidate, in my opinion, is a calling. It's not
Speaker 1: a career. You know, plenty of people learn all the tools.
Speaker 1: It is a calling. It has to be something in you,
Speaker 1: especially in these days. It has to be something in
Speaker 1: you that keeps you up, what brings tears to your eyes,
Speaker 1: what makes you, what bothers you to you the pity
Speaker 1: of your soul. You'll hear people, especially conservatives, Oh, you're emotional.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be. It's supposed to be something that
Speaker 1: puts a fire in you. And that's the difference between
Speaker 1: people who are just going along to get along and
Speaker 1: they look at being a candidate it's just writing laws,
Speaker 1: and the difference between those who really are change makers.
Speaker 1: For me, it has to be something that like when
Speaker 1: y'all hear me, bring tears to my eyes, I talk
Speaker 1: about my mother, I talk about healthcare reform, I talk
Speaker 1: about what has been for me. I talk about those
Speaker 1: are the things. Because everything that puts you in this,
Speaker 1: whether you're a candidate and activist, an organizer, every principality
Speaker 1: is gonna come against you. Everything that tells you don't
Speaker 1: do it is gonna come against you. Every spirit, the mind,
Speaker 1: spirit that's gonna tell you, hey, don't do it, do
Speaker 1: something else. So you have to be so full of
Speaker 1: the armor, so full of the anointing, so full of
Speaker 1: passion to keep you pressing on. And that's not something
Speaker 1: you can learn. You can learn the tools. I just
Speaker 1: got chills on my body. You can learn the tools,
Speaker 1: but it's the passion is going to keep you in there,
Speaker 1: and that's when you'll decide, Okay, do I want to
Speaker 1: be the front facing the actual candidate, or do I
Speaker 1: want to be a support. So I've ran my communications
Speaker 1: business being a support for many, many years. Even though
Speaker 1: I can rock the mic and I do, I know
Speaker 1: I'm better as a support. I know I'm better at
Speaker 1: getting people prepared. I know I'm better. That's what I enjoy.
Speaker 1: I enjoy training and teaching and getting others out there.
Speaker 1: It's not that I wouldn't be good as a candidate,
Speaker 1: It's just this is where I feel my gift is
Speaker 1: best served, at least in this particular moment. So whatever
Speaker 1: it is that's pressing you. I got a girlfriend I'm
Speaker 1: working with and she says she wants to be a
Speaker 1: candidate for the school board, and she talks about school
Speaker 1: all the time. But the only time they ever heard
Speaker 1: her shed tears was when she was listening to the
Speaker 1: story of my mother and she said, this reminds me
Speaker 1: of my aunt who was on disability. Da da da
Speaker 1: da da da. I said, it's that thing that's making you.
Speaker 1: You can look at your resume and say, oh I
Speaker 1: would be good at this and that and da da
Speaker 1: da da No no no, whatever made you send that
Speaker 1: voice memo to put them tears in your eye. You
Speaker 1: may think it's for the school, but it may be
Speaker 1: for disability. So as you continue to grow in this,
Speaker 1: as you continue to go to these different classes, as
Speaker 1: you sit in these meetings, and that thing that keeps
Speaker 1: pushing you and saying something ain't right about this, This
Speaker 1: ain't making sen That thing to make you stay up
Speaker 1: at night to keep raising your hand to keep this
Speaker 1: or that it'll it'll, it'll work itself out. Nobody can
Speaker 1: tell you that it's gonna keep. As you keep getting
Speaker 1: more involved, it's gonna wake you up. That's thank you. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I got it. Yeah, be hoping and listen to what
Speaker 1: God has for you. When I said I was going
Speaker 1: to law school, the first thing people thought civil rights
Speaker 1: because I worked with Attorney Crump, so you would think
Speaker 1: civil rights. But no, it's not. It's criminal defense. Actually,
Speaker 1: you know, talking about going to prison and how many
Speaker 1: people we got going to prison. That that's what I
Speaker 1: will do. Civil rights work, but that's not what keeps
Speaker 1: me up at night. That's not you know, if anybody
Speaker 1: followed my work, you know I'm always talking about incarcerated
Speaker 1: and recidivism, and those are the things from personal experience
Speaker 1: that motivate me. And so in order to get through
Speaker 1: law school, in order to get through the tough times,
Speaker 1: in order to get through all that, it got to
Speaker 1: be something that's gonna keep you up. So you may
Speaker 1: think it's one thing, but as you grow, it'll start
Speaker 1: to reveal itself. Just keep getting information, keep getting the knowledge. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you so much.
Speaker 3: And I'm class. I'm excited as soon as I got
Speaker 3: a clock out first and then sign up. But I
Speaker 3: didn't want to miss this opportunity to see you face
Speaker 3: to face, so oh no godge.
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you. So guys, that's how the training to be.
Speaker 1: That's how the interactive training will be. I'll be bringing
Speaker 1: people up, we'll be talking about it. It is a
Speaker 1: closed training, so it is just you and I the
Speaker 1: people in the classroom. I unveil it next, we'll unveil it.
Speaker 1: It's not unbailed, like it's literally some of them unbailed.
Speaker 1: But the website will be up next week for you
Speaker 1: to sign up. I'm going on the Breakfast Club to
Speaker 1: talk about it. Something just downloaded in you. Okay, good chante,
Speaker 1: we're downloaded in you. September. We're downloaded and you just
Speaker 1: so we just know if you just give me a
Speaker 1: preview of it, you don't have to share it all
Speaker 1: because sometimes keep your gift to yourself. But anyway, I'm
Speaker 1: going on to the Breakfast Club next week to talk
Speaker 1: about this training and I am not yes, not on
Speaker 1: the website yet, but it will be will be next

Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 1: It's fifty bucks for the training. It's June fourteenth. Until
Speaker 1: you got plenty of time, but don't wait till the
Speaker 1: last minute. Yep. Each class would be fifty bucks each one.
Speaker 1: Not do it charging any more than that. It's twenty
Speaker 1: five an hour. My normal rais one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: an hour. Just so we're clear, you know, but this
Speaker 1: is you know, enough to take care of build our
Speaker 1: business officerly trying to do invest in the train, any platform,
Speaker 1: all of that good stuff. So it will be June fourteenth, Saturday,
Speaker 1: June fourteenth, I'm going to do a couple of different
Speaker 1: national platforms. So we can have enough people in the
Speaker 1: classroom and there'll be your classmates hopefully going with through
Speaker 1: the whole program. And if you can't come to everyone, cool,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to break the bank. I'm not telling
Speaker 1: you you need to pay for it all at once
Speaker 1: or not doing that. It'll likely be once a month
Speaker 1: and we'll pick up where we left off each training.
Speaker 1: And if you can't come to them all then you
Speaker 1: don't certainly don't have to. You can jump in at anytime,
Speaker 1: but if you really really want to get you know,
Speaker 1: the full training, then I recommend you sign up for
Speaker 1: all five. If you don't have sign up for all

Speaker 1: Hollywood guys that when I say few, I mean few.
Speaker 1: I can count on one hand between him, Tyresee Dion Taylor.
Speaker 1: There's a couple other I may be count on two hands.
Speaker 1: Let me give two hands, but Little Reil is certainly
Speaker 1: one of the few, if not only, I would say actor,
Speaker 1: established actor that actually jumps into these comments and supports
Speaker 1: my work. So y'all show him some love and support
Speaker 1: one of his one hundred and fifty movies because he did.
