8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: I have a very special guest. Uh. He goes by

9
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: the name of Andre Taylor, a k a. Gorgeous Drey.

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: Before I get into an introduction with him, I want

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: to set the tone of what prompted this conversation. So

12
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: I met uh Andre years ago because we connected on politics,

13
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: and I'll get into that in a second, but I

14
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: want to set the context on why we're even having

15
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: this conversation. A few of you are new following me

16
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: that just made salt. You probably saw my interview last

17
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: week on the Ghetto Boys podcast, which is also a

18
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: part of the Black Effect podcast network that I'm a

19
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: part of a Charlotmagne Gud and My Heart Radio. I

20
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: made some comments about pimping, and for the most part,

21
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: I'd probably say I don't know the exact number. But

22
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: for the most part, the comments were well received. People

23
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: got it, they understood, they watched the entire years, almost

24
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: a two hour interview, and they saw the context in

25
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: which I was laying down basically using metaphors analogies to

26
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: talk about talk game, which is that's obviously what I do,

27
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: talk game. And so there were something that did not

28
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: like what I said, and respectfully, they have an opportunity to,

29
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: uh have an opinion about it. You know, we are

30
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: in the commentator space. Opinions are subjectives, and so there

31
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: were some folks that did not like what I said,

32
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: and it is what it is. I said what I

33
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: said it. I don't want to use time debating or

34
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: going back and forth or even explaining myself on a

35
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: subjective opinion. It is what it is, period and a discussion.

36
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: But I do think that this was a great opportunity

37
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: to really bring somebody on to actually go a little

38
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: bit deeper into pimping and politics, because, after all, this

39
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: is what I was talking about, and there's something called

40
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: receipts that matters in the game, whether you're talking about

41
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: the street game pimping, if you're talking about gang banging,

42
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna what they call read your driver's license, read

43
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: your jacket, read your card. If it's in politics, it

44
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: matters what you've done, your influence receipts matters. And so

45
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: to have this conversation on pimping and politics, I thought

46
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: that the not thought. I knew that the only person

47
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: that could have this conversation and go deeper into the

48
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: dialogue because anybody could just talk about the surface. But

49
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: it's a different level to every game when you can

50
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: go deep. Friends to the game, and I encourage you

51
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: to go back and look at the video that I

52
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: put up with Dre. The shows his transition from what

53
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: he was talking about in pamping when he said anybody

54
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: can be a fine woman, and anybody can get money,

55
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: But the mentality of a woman and how you move

56
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: and who you who you engage with, and how you

57
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: how you move and how you get things done, that

58
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: was what made his uh to me. His commentary interview

59
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: if you will, during the documentary American Pamp, which what

60
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: I would say it would be the most watch documentary

61
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: of pamping period, that really drew me to what made

62
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: him different than everybody else because he said, I'm playing

63
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: for big stakes, and so when him and I got

64
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: an opportunity to connect, and he telled me using Andre

65
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: Taylor and he was talking and I said, well, because

66
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: he was doing a series called Conversation uh with the Streets.

67
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: And I said, well, I don't know if you really

68
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: want me to come because they say I'm kind of

69
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: rough on the side and shout out to ma factor.

70
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: I just saw him joining and he's the actually the

71
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: one that connected us. And I said, I don't know

72
00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: if you want me on that because I can get

73
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: the rough for my words, and I could. I don't

74
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: really explain, you know, I'm street. I can hold hold

75
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: to hold it. He said, I'm gorgeous straight. I said,

76
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: you everything just said that. I said, are you kidding? Read?

77
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: I said, you should have said that right after gate

78
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: hold me something that way we can talk. And I

79
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: got so excited because I was like, man, I've been

80
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: waiting to talk to somebody about the game to understand

81
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. And we talked and talked and

82
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: talked about politics, and I was so proud of him,

83
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: and I was so excited because a lot of times

84
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: when I'm having these conversations about different walks of life,

85
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: and using different metaphors. A lot of the people that

86
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: I'm talking to have no clue what I'm talking about,

87
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: So I always get excited when somebody from a different

88
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: world actually knows what I'm talking about. And that's why

89
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to do this, because there was conversation out

90
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: there about you know, well, if you're gonna talk about it,

91
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: you need to talk about it because you don't know

92
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: about it. And that's the whole point. I've always engaged

93
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: with folks that have lived certain lifestyles, and it's not

94
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: about me necessarily talking about it, but opening up the

95
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: door so that people like Dre, people like uh Spud

96
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: from Bloods, people like Male who's a crypt people like

97
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: s Bone, people that come from different walks of life

98
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: can have the conversation with another side of the game

99
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: to see how those two things connect. And there's nobody

100
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: better that can do that than Andre Taylor. And the

101
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: reason why and I'm gonna give the floor to him,

102
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: he is the only one. Let's not make no mistake

103
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: about this. When somebody, oh, I'm not you know, nobody's

104
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: saying that pimps, don't shout out to s Bone. I

105
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: just gave you a shout at s Bone the crypt.

106
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: This is the only podcast y'all just say, y'all know,

107
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: this is the only podcast where crips and bloods and

108
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: pimps and bishops and regular folks and HBCU all come together.

109
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: This is what God has called me to do. Oh

110
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: he is the only one. We don't want to make

111
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: no mistake about it. The only one that's been recognized

112
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: nationally for pimpant which means in the documentary, because there's

113
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: a lot of talk, we can have talk. But when

114
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: they when they decided on who they were gonna put

115
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: in a documentary, it was very careful and was selected.

116
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: The only one that's been recognized nationally for pimping and

117
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: also recognized nationally for politics. And I'm gonna let him

118
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: tell his story in a moment. The only one that's

119
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: been on national TV, Fox, CNN, INN, CNBC, you name

120
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: it nationally. It's not enough when I say politics. There's

121
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: different levels to the game. It's not just I know

122
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: the mayor, I did, I gave money to the school,

123
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: I helped the kid. No, just like a different levels

124
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: of the pimping that Dre told you all about an

125
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: American pimpers. Levels of this ship is also levels of

126
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: the ship in politics. Doing politics, it's not just knowing somebody,

127
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: but having the influence, having enough talk game, having enough

128
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: knowing how to move, having enough knowing how to move

129
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: pieces around to get things done. Very similar to the

130
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 1: pimper game, if you will, but used on a positive

131
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: level to actually change the community. And Andre Taylor a

132
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: k A. Gorgeous Dre is the only one who has

133
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: done that period. So we're going to have the conversation

134
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: on pimping and politics. We're not gonna spend or subjective

135
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: dumb ship. We're gonna go deeper into what the people

136
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: really need to know about you and your story and

137
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: how have you been able to to make that transition

138
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: or married both sides of that so that people can

139
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: see for what it is. So without further ado, my

140
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,040

00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a very very beautiful conversation filled with love, information,

151
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: and depth. Um. They called me gorgeous Dray have known

152
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: from the movie American Pimp. Um. The Huge brothers came

153
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: to me because their father was in the game and

154
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: they were interested about the subculture of the lifestyle, so

155
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: they have came to me. When they came to me,

156
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: they seemed how I was living and they wanted to

157
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: hire me. So they hired me, and I thought it

158
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: was smarter than to do so because it probably be

159
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: very difficult for them to be trying to go talk

160
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: to some pimps because they probably wouldn't trust him. But

161
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: they hired me as a technical advisor for the film,

162
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: and I put probably about the guys in the movie.

163
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: I also had the credits as the technical advisor of

164
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: the film, so I'm very proud about that work and

165
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,359
Speaker 1: working with them. I decided that they were professional filmmakers

166
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: and them and I wanted to connect myself with them,

167
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: and I thought it was a great thing to do.

168
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to do the film. Alan Hughes said

169
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: something to me that changed my my mind. He said,

170
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: right before you decide not to do it, can I

171
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: tell you something? I said yes. He said, man, I

172
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: just want you to know that everything that's done on

173
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: the film goes down in history. And I said, damn history.

174
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: He appealed to my ego and I said, man, I said,

175
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: I think I will do it, you know, And he

176
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: was right because it's his story to this day. You

177
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: know he was right. So um in the movie, I

178
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: was facing life and we was able to overcome that

179
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: with a rid of haby. It's corteous because people knew

180
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: that was facing my life sentence and they wondered, you know,

181
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: how how that I got How I got out? You know,

182
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: that was a state case. I was actually indicted with

183
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: the fears if it's the first time the state of

184
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: Nevada and the federal government came together to prosecutor pen case.

185
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: The federal government did not investigate me. It was the

186
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: state that investigated me. Thank god. The federal government did

187
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: not investigate me, but they the State Act. The federal

188
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: government to help me, to help them. Well, you know,

189
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: let me tell you this story. We're gonna get into it.

190
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: So they tried to give me life, right. It put

191
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,599
Speaker 1: me on TV, made me look like public gating me

192
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: number one, Like I was a real real bad guy. Right.

193
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: So I went to trial and was found guilty seven times,

194
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: and at my sentencing, the judge says, I have a

195
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: problem with some of these charges. I didn't even know

196
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: that the federal judge had the power to overturn the

197
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: vertical of a jury. I learned while I was in

198
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: trial the federal judge. The judge actually overturned for my

199
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: charges and told my attorney to go make this risk

200
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: because he had a problem with some of these charges. Right.

201
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: And with that, I went to prison in twenty and

202
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: two thousands and got out in two thousand one. And

203
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: I remember when I was about to be sentenced and

204
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: the marshals came and got me from my sale and

205
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: they were talking to each other. It was two of them,

206
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: and they were like, should we tell them? And they

207
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: were last, no, we'll let them tell them. Should we

208
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: tell them, No, We'll let them tell them. Tell me

209
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: that I was found guilty. So I went down the elevator,

210
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: and sure enough, when I went to the court room,

211
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: I was found guilty. But when I came home just

212
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: a year later, I was going to see my probation

213
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: officer and I was walking into the elevator and I've

214
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: seen that Saint Marshall, and he was shocked. He was like,

215
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: what is this guy doing now? So I walked in

216
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: and I turned my back and faced the elevator and

217
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: I said, should I tell him? I said no, I

218
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: let him tell him that. Should I tell him now?

219
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: I let him tell the elevator door open, I walked out.

220
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: I was a victor, gave me yes, sir. So anyway,

221
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: what got me into politics? And my brother got out

222
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: of prison? Uh no, he got out in in October,

223
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: and I came down, you know, to walk on the

224
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: mouth left l A came into Seattle and and and

225
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: welcomed him out. He did twenty two years. My little brother,

226
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: THATLP of my high who I love. He was out

227
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: fourteen months and they executed him. I think that they

228
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: executed him because while he was in prison, he won

229
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: a court case and they had to give him eighty

230
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: thousand dollars before he got out of prison because they

231
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: had did some things that was that had jeopardize his family,

232
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: you know, and he won like a court case. And

233
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: I think they didn't forget about that. That's my's my

234
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: thoughts from the execute of my little brother and said

235
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: he had he had a gun and reproved that he

236
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: didn't have a gun and I and I remember getting

237
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: that message and it tore me up. You know. I

238
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: was like, man, I cry, and you know, and you know,

239
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: you hear about all the killings and stuff, but now

240
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: that's happened to my little brother who just got out

241
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: during his time trying to change his life. You know,

242
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: I was broken. The next day, I went up to

243
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: Seattle and I said, Okay, Lord, I've dealt with so

244
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: many things before. What it when I'm gonna do with this?

245
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: And I thought, and I decided that I was gonna

246
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: come at this a different way. Then how are people

247
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: have been addressing in the situation? And and I said

248
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: that the only way I know I could win is

249
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: that I had to be responsive and not reactive. You know,

250
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: when when there's a killing in our community, there's an

251
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: immediate reaction from our community. We might go burn down

252
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: some ship. You know, we're gonna act up right, and

253
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: then what happens. We lose the narrative because ain't nobody

254
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: talking about the police officer that killed killed your your

255
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: loved one. Everybody's talking about what you're doing on the streets.

256
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: So we've been losing the narrative for decades, not understand it.

257
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: So I said I wasn't gonna do that. I wasn't

258
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: gonna be reactive. I'm gonna be responsive. As a matter

259
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: of fact, the first week that I went to Seattle,

260
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: I sat down with the chief of police. Now this

261
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: is the game. This is knowledge that I was using

262
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: that I learned from the streets that I know they

263
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: weren't preppy too. So I sat down with the chief

264
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: of police and I told her, I said, listen, I

265
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: know I can't bring my brother back. It was hard

266
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: for me to do it, but I knew I had

267
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: to do it. I had to have a different response.

268
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 1: I told her, I know I can't bring my little

269
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: brother back, but I'm still willing to work with you

270
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: so that we can reduce the incidents of violence in

271
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: our community. I did that for a reason because I

272
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: knew if I elevated the conversation, I could trap her.

273
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: I can make her do the work, because then people

274
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: would say, you just killed his brother and he came

275
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: down here still willing to work with you. I knew

276
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: that would be a trap for her to make her

277
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: have to continue to engage, which is why said, yeah,

278
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: and can I STIPOSITI you're such a one of the

279
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: story telling. But I want to dig a little bit

280
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: deeper in that because a lot of folks may not

281
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: understand how powerful what you just said. You know that

282
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: the dense love saying, you know, conversation ruled the nation.

283
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: It's all about the conversation. So when you said, elevate

284
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: the conversation, take the conversation up another level, engage her

285
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: and you said you were you got that from the game.

286
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: And also you said sitting down with those that that

287
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: could be your opposition. And I talked a lot about

288
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: that dre when I tell people talk about all the time,

289
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: when I say, do y'all not think that anybody that's

290
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: pushing work on the high level dope game that bloods

291
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: and christs don't never sit down together and talk. There's

292
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: levels to anything in any game. So whoever's on the

293
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: corner that might be pushing, you know, Nickel bag ouns whatever.

294
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: They may not know that people at the top, even

295
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: your opposition, even your enemy, are sitting down with each other.

296
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: And I want to put a pen that I'm gonna

297
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: let you continue, but I want to make sure they're

298
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: getting all this game because I talked about in politics,

299
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: and I say, why don't y'all do y'all really believe

300
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: the Democrats on publicans are not sitting down and having

301
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: a conversation, And you're getting caught up in the theatrics

302
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: of it all. We the reaction, you're reacting. You're getting

303
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: caught up like this, we always crying, Oh my god,

304
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: you're getting your emotionless time when they are having a

305
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: conversation on another level that only bosses do, that only

306
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: they have access to. Which is why I want people

307
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: from the streets so bad in politics, because you understood

308
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: that where everybody else and say, I can't believe you

309
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: sitting down, just like they say me, I can't believe

310
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: you're going on Fox News. No, you go over to

311
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: where the opposition is and you elevate the conversation and

312
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: they're forced to hear what it is you have to say.

313
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: If anybody working on any high level of anything, whether

314
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: it's moving holes, whether it's moving don't, whether it's pushing politics,

315
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: there is a conversation that those who do not have

316
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: the ability to maintain their emotion cannot have. I just

317
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: want to put it connect that to politics right quickly.

318
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: And so my philosophy going into it was listen, I

319
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: can sit down and have a conversation with anybody, right

320
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to feel that feel what we can

321
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: build right. But it takes a discipline. It takes an

322
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: incredible discipline. And I learned that discipline from the streets

323
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: because on the streets, listen, on the streets, you're faced

324
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: with life and death situations that that that define you

325
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: and developed you. You you are everyday facing your your

326
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: life is at risk. So there's a way that you

327
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: have to move to make sure that you not lose

328
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: your life. And it creates a discipline inside of you.

329
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: So I was able to use that same discipline in

330
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: politics that they exactly, they weren't privy to. They were wondering,

331
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: how is it that I kept maneuvering and ke and

332
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: kept my composure at all times, never reacted, only responded.

333
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: So I kept that response and what I did was

334
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: creating my organization. Not this time, and with not this time,

335
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: what I did is I invited law enforcement to engage community.

336
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: I embothered politicians to engage community, and everybody came to

337
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: that little small place that I was having those meetings

338
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: at and it became the biggest thing in the city.

339
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: What I would not allow whenever I would have meetings

340
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: all this is a game that I've given you. Not

341
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: all game is is knowledge. That's all game is. It

342
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: is knowledge. What I would say is that I will

343
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: not allow anybody to disrespect my guests. These people here

344
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: can take the hard questions because they're professionals, but if

345
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: you disrespect one of my guests, we're gonna escort you

346
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: out of here. Because you need to control the environment,

347
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: and you needed to have people to feel safe enough

348
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: to come to an environment so that we can really

349
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 1: have a conversation. M right. You really need to have

350
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: the conversation. So they never had an excuse not to come.

351
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: So the biggest people in the in the whole state

352
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: game mh and and everything in politics work through relationships.

353
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: So I build relationships with the senators I had. Patty

354
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: Murray is the third most powerful senator in the United States.

355
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: I went and had a conversation with her because I

356
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: needed her to understand a different vision of my people

357
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: through who I was. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So when I

358
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: had a conversation with Patty Murray, Patty Murray said, who

359
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: taught you how to talk like that? M So now

360
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: Patty has a different vision of what she considered the

361
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: streets that she didn't have before. Mm hmm do you understand?

362
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,719
Speaker 1: But that came through the relationship. And when we started

363
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: the initiative, Patty gave us, many of you guys to

364
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, a list her lists her political

365
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: power powerless in politics, everybody have a political powerless of

366
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: funder people that are given to you, uh, people that

367
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 1: are supporting you. That's worth millions of millions of dollars.

368
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: And Patty never supported an initiative before. But because of

369
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: my conversation with Patty, the third most powerful center during

370
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: the United States, she supported the initiative that came through relationships.

371
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: I sat down with the chief of police, I sat

372
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: down with the sheriff, and I got all them to

373
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: get on board with the initiative. I went to the

374
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: Puyoli tribe, the Indians, the Natives. I went to I

375
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: went to Asian Pacific Islanders, I went to the Mexicans.

376
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: I went to all these organizations and said that we've

377
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: been fighting and losing because we've been fighting by ourselves,

378
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: because they can beat us individually. I went and we

379
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: built the largest people the color coreal listened in the

380
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: history of the state. Let me tell you something in

381
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: politics with black people don't understand. There's something that's called building.

382
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: How mm hmmm. The United States is an empire like

383
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: any empire that existed before it that have conquered lands

384
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: and people to get where they are, like the Persian Empire,

385
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: like the Egyptian Empire, like the Roman Empire. They conquered

386
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: lands and people, and there is a mentality that powerful

387
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: white men have that to the victor goes the spoilers.

388
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: We can create the law of the way we want

389
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: to create them. We can do whatever the funk we

390
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: want to do because we want. And the reason why

391
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: our organizations don't win because you are crying to a

392
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: goddamn empire that got to what they got to do,

393
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: and what the funk they're doing to you? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

394
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,479
Speaker 1: So unless you create what they respect, which is power.

395
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: When I went and got all those different people, because

396
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: you can't beat everybody. When I was got everybody and

397
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: organize everybody. Then I came with power and they respected me.

398
00:21:54,520 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: Then I come asking I can't con magazine. That's right now. Listen,

399
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: listen to me very carefully. When they seemed my ability

400
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: as a him because they weren't worried about me when

401
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: I first came on the scene, they laughed mm hmmm.

402
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: When I first came on the scene, I had no

403
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: support from black people in Seattle because all they said

404
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: is this guy's just a pimp. He just want attention

405
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: me and I might have to do it by herself.

406
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: I had to go into my own pocket to fund

407
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: what I was doing because I got no support from

408
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: the black community in Seattle. But I knew what I

409
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: was doing because I knew I had to produce the

410
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: proceipts though from my people to start believing because they

411
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: lied too so much. They've been talked to and lied

412
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: to so much that I was trying to bring the

413
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: top game to the people. I was trying to bring

414
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: the receipt game to my people. So I just went

415
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: on my wife and I and funded what I was

416
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: doing because I knew the work. The model of my

417
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: organization is due the work. Because I knew the work

418
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: with good places I couldn't go. And when that work went,

419
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: they believe it. And it was all strategy and systematic.

420
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: And as those people start seeing me move and start

421
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: seeing the call listen come together and then I went

422
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: to unions, nine unions, uh food unions and got them

423
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: on board. Listen. Politics is something I understand that it's

424
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: extremely intimidating mm hmm because the amount of work that

425
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: it requires, and it was so hard. Let me just

426
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: back up a little bit, just so I can give

427
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: it some context. In twenty ten, my kidneys failed. In eleven,

428
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: my wife gave me a kidney. It lasts eight years.

429
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: When my brother died, I still had that kidney. The

430
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: stress of fighting for my brother made me lose my kidney,

431
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: so during the fight, I got on dialysis. So now

432
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm fighting for the people and fighting for my own

433
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: goddamn life without losing court. I'm under aalysis every day

434
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: dreamed going to meetings, going and and and going to

435
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: rallies fighting. But I'm fighting for my own life too.

436
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: The pain of that having a supper of pain of

437
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: that without any fucking support when I'm feeling like I'm dying.

438
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: But I did it, and I ate it, and I

439
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: just kept pressing. Is only recently this month, on the

440
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: fourth that I got a new kidney transplant. All that

441
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: time of fighting, I was on dialysis, so I was

442
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: doing the work at my worst physical condition. But it

443
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 1: was God that helped me. It was God that helped

444
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: me elevate. And I'm not gonna spend too much time

445
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: on that because I'm gonna go some other places. Ultimately,

446
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: we got the law change. Washington had the worst police

447
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: accountability law in the nation because in Washington State, under

448
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: books was written, we can't hold an officer accountable unless

449
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: we can prove that officer had malice. Now what is malice.

450
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: Malice means we had to prove what was in his

451
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: mind at the time of the shooting, which is impossible.

452
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: So for over thirty five years, not one officer and

453
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: Washington State was ever convicted of a police shooting because

454
00:25:54,960 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: that malice was a barrier. It was like you can

455
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: kill for free. So what we did is I got

456
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: a team of attorneys and we wrote a new law

457
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: for the community, and we got that law passed six

458
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: This state only has three point five black people in it.

459
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. Do you understand what I'm saying? In six

460
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: of the state voted for initiative? Today, Washington State is

461
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: the only state that has a police accountability law. We

462
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: lead the whole country. When I passed the law. What happened?

463
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: Four officers have been charged with murder. That's not going

464
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: on anywhere in this country. And when Jesslyn says, I

465
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: am the only one. My organization and the people that

466
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: I involved but I left, mm hmm, have not only

467
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: changed law but policy, I'm the only one that has

468
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: done it in the country period. And and let me

469
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: explain something to you. Are black organ are black platforms?

470
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: Never came to me? The Breakfast Club didn't come to me.

471
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. No black organizations came to me because it

472
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: wasn't done on an urban level. It was done on

473
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: a systems level. You know who came to me, White folks,

474
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: biggest platforms mm hmm. The New Yorker came to me.

475
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: Fox News came to me, and they recognized the work.

476
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 1: But my own people still to this date, don't even

477
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: recognize the work. Mm hmm. Listen, I defeated law enforcement.

478
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: I submitted a whole country. I mean a whole state.

479
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: The governor, the mayor's, the senators, they all came to me.

480
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: The mayor hired me as the first street zara this country.

481
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: The first streets are officially I am considered a street czar,

482
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: the only one. There was a situation in Seattle that

483
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: you guys probably heard about. That's called the Shop Area,

484
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: where people locked down six blocks of this city and

485
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: took it over and it became violent. And when he

486
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 1: became violent, and I knew that there were people of

487
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: color down there, I knew I had to do something.

488
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: And I knew that it wasn't gonna be popular because

489
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: people liked it. But I stood up and I went

490
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: down there and I got that thing changed and stopped

491
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: him because people had gotten killed. One of the persons

492
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: that got killed was Lorenzo Anderson. I went and his

493
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: dad called me and asked for my help. He was

494
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: a special needs child, nineteen years old. I put Lorenzo

495
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: Anderson on Fox. I put him on Fox News when

496
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: Hannity is one of the greatest shows he ever had.

497
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: ME tell you, that's when the President called. You're talking

498
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: about receipts. You guys learned about receipts. The President called

499
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: me Trump, who don't care about nobody, so they say,

500
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: called me not only the offers condolescens to my client,

501
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: but to thank you for the work that I've done,

502
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: those receipts. And I've come from the streets, from nothing,

503
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: but I used those fundamentals from the streets. I used it,

504
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: and you can too. That's what Teslan is telling you.

505
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: That's what she was preaching. That's what she's been saying.

506
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: And I want to tell you something. Let's go to

507
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: the game. Many of you think the pimp game is

508
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: the game, the pimping. It's just a small part of

509
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: the game. It is not the game is its entirety.

510
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: I'm not pimping. But every day I used the game,

511
00:29:54,800 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: and this day I used the game. The knowledge the game.

512
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: Some of you know the Bible said that God has

513
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: a hidden knowledge that he is for his people. It

514
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: is the game that is the hidden knowledge. There's a

515
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: lot of people out there that are good talk heads

516
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: out there, a lot of people talking great. But I

517
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: challenge all those great talkers. Has your philosophy changed your neighborhood,

518
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: has your philosophy changed your city. Has your philosophy changed

519
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: your state? Mm hmm. You bring your conversation. I'll bring

520
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: my work to the table. I hear dead, I doctor receipts.

521
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: I know how to beat the white man at his

522
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: own game because I did it and question about it.

523
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: I got it, and you never came to see about me.

524
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: It was important to you. You couldn't even see it.

525
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: M hm. You couldn't even see it because you were

526
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: so entertained when entertainment m m your mind is they

527
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: keep feeling you and entertainment. Mm hmm. You couldn't even

528
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: see it. It wasn't even appreciated you. It had no

529
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: work or value to you, But it had work and

530
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: value to them white folks, because in white folks, no

531
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: knowledge runs the world. M It was in white folks

532
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: came to me and asked me how that I did

533
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: it and want to give me money to get the information.

534
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: There's white folks that are line up around them around

535
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: the corner for some knowledge, and there's our people that

536
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: are line up around the corner for a mixtape. M HM.

537
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: Say that again one more time. Is white people that

538
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: are line up around the corner for knowledge and our

539
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: people are line up around the corner for a mixtape.

540
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: And I'm not mad because I wrapped two my new album.

541

Speaker 1: I just dropped on the third Many Shades or Dre

542
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: So don't get it twisted. I'm not hating on you,

543
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,719
Speaker 1: but I am expecting more from the black Man. Do

547
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,959
Speaker 1: you don't see yourself as a god. You see yourself

548
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: as a pauper. When you're look in the mirror. You

549
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: couldn't love who you are. You couldn't because it's so

550

Speaker 1: world is to be talked to death. So I'm bringing receipts.

Speaker 1: Everything that I say, you can back up, you can spine.

559
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: It's easy to go look online. Mm hmmm. And so

560
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: since I've done it, since i'm you, since I come

561
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: from the God, since I come from nothing, since my

562
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: mama was a whole, since my daddy was a pimp,

563
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: what's your excuse? I heard that? What's your excuse? Since

564
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: I did the greatest work I ever did when I

565
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: was ill on dialysis, what's your excuse? What's your excuse?

566
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: I didn't do it with millions of dollars. I did

567
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: it with the knowledge and the information. SUP pushed people

568
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: out there. They've got millions of dollars. That's never done

569
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: what I've done because you don't learn the information. It

570
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: has never been the money that's been the power. It's

571
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: been the information. And because this culture has taught to

572
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: you that money is more important than anything. That's why

573
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: you ain't got no power to beat them. That's right,

574
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: that's right. That's why you ain't got no power to

575
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: beat them, because they've deceived you. You've been indoctrinated and

576
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: socialized with their culture and their way of thinking, and

577
00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: you've lost your first love. Come back to your God, mhm.

578
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,719
Speaker 1: Come back to the information to the knowledge. That's power,

579
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: and I've already proved it. I got the receipt and

580
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: I'm talking about what I've done. Mm hmmm. This here

581
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: the money came after. Mm hmmm. I don't know if

582
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: they're ready cash. I don't know if they're ready. I

583
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: gotta put a pin in that part. One of the

584
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: things that I talked about, uh, the reps on money,

585
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: power and respect and I and and some of my speeches,

586
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 1: I say, we get it all twisted because in that song,

587
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: although I love Little Kim, but she says, first you

588
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: get the money, then you get the power, and you

589
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: get the respect. And I've always said, we got it twisted.

590
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 1: It's first you get the power, well, what you're talking

591
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: about building a coalition power, Then you get the respect

592
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: to demand, then the money come on the back end.

593
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: That's right. We literally have been taught that it's the

594
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: other way around because they understand the power and coalition

595
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: building and respecting. That's why I said today on Black

596
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: New Shadow, we're talking about Corey Booker and the and

597
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: the panelist said, you know, well, I think Lindsay Graham

598
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: old black people apology, And I said, I I disagree.

599
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 1: I don't want your apology. Somebody has already made their

600
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: mind up that they're not in to me. I don't

601
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: want your apology, but I do demand your respect. And

602
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 1: that should have been an opportunity to show our strength,

603
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: not our weakness. That should have been an opportunity to

604
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: show no, we stand timtoes down, not walking in what

605
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: I had held down. And that's why, the reason why

606
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: and I feel the same frustration I was talking about

607
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: that you didn't see it but live before you came on.

608
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: I was saying because a lot of people who came

609
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: and follow me, uh with the ghetto boys, said you know, well,

610
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: I've never heard of you. I never saw I said that.

611
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: That's because I've been on Fox News the last year

612
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: six years. You don't watch to see what the opposition

613
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: is saying, so you don't even know I exist. And

614
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: when you watch these liberal networks, they showed the comments

615
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: of the races all day, twenty four hours, all day one,

616
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: when that was show the black people that's over there

617
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: putting it down for black people, right, because it's not

618
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: been official to them to do that, they have to

619
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: continue to show whatever's gonna get you invoked emotionally instead

620
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: of knowing. It's people o that holding it down and

621
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: that is too systematic because when you talk about you

622
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: don't get love from your own people. I feel that

623
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: pain because it's frustrated. I said on the on Ghetto Voice,

624
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: I gotta fight my own I gotta fight white supremacy

625
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: and my own people because they don't get it because

626
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: of the conditions that you have been exposed to that

627
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: you don't even know a fighter when you see it.

628
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: So when I talk about emotion and people tapping in,

629
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 1: when I talk about Corey, I said, understand, it's okay

630
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: that we uplifted that system, there's nothing wrong with that,

631
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: but you still gotta see the game for what it is.

632
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: But you can't see the game because you don't know

633
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: the game. I'm talking people that literally don't know the game.

634
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: You don't understand that invoking that emotion from from black women,

635
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: who was who do the Democratic Party depends on to

636
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: write all these articles saying, oh man wanting her being

637
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: talked to you like that. I know what they feel like.

638
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 1: I know what they feel like. That's what I was

639
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: talking about when I said to me, you was tapping

640
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: into you feeling a certain way. You've being triggered because

641
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: you're seeing her and you're thinking about you. Guess what,

642
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: that ain't you. She already got the job, she already

643
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 1: has the confirmation, she already has the votes. She gonna

644
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: be all right, her kid's gonna be all right, her

645
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: kids kids gonna be all right. But your emotion being

646
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: triggered based on her that you can't even see that.

647
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: I'm trying to fight for you. I'm talking about that's good,

648
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: and she got a promotion, great, But what about the people?

649
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: And my people come to me and say, no, don't

650
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: worry about the people. What about her. That's what I'm

651
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: talking about. So this is why they keep people from

652
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: the streets outside of this conversation because they know that

653
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 1: it is the most dangerous thing that they have because

654
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: it is putting people in the game that have nothing

655
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: to lose, that have access to the game and see

656
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: straight through their amateur at best games. Listen. So for

657
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: people want to know what I'm doing now, I do

658
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: what I call conversation with the street. This is how

659
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: Tesla and I met, and I brought I bring black

660
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: powerful influencers, great minds from all over the country to

661
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: Seattle to talk to our young folks. I brought Tesla,

662
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: I brought to Mika Marrily, I brought my sign, I

663
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: brought Big You, Um, I brought Risin Islam, Nuri Mohammed Um.

664
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: This list goes on the most powerful black voices in

665
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: the country. I brought down here and took very good

666
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: care of them so that we could have a conversation.

667
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: What I was when I'm more concerned about right now

668
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 1: is trying to get leaders on the same page. And

669
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: before I bring all these leaders I let them know, listen,

670
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: whatever your ideology is, I want you to keep it

671
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: at the house. This is about black love, reclaiming our

672
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 1: black youth, and black unity because all of us can

673
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: agree on that. So before all of them come, I

674
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: make sure that we're understanding we're on the same page

675
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,919
Speaker 1: there right Drumar dr Umar Johnson is coming as well.

676
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: And it's been very successful and I had to stop

677
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: it during COVID, but I will start it back again

678
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: because I think it's necessary to get leadership together. If

679
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: we can get leadership together and get leadership on the

680
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,479
Speaker 1: same page, and based upon the work that I've done,

681
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: people were willing to come and participate based upon the

682
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: work that I have achieved, you know, and I'm grateful

683
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: for that, and I'm going to continue that that work,

684
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go around the country doing this work

685
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: for our people. So just to let you know that

686
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: I haven't stopped. You know, We're going to continue to

687
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: do what we what we must do. And I always

688
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: say that I'm here for a remnant of us, because

689
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: I already know everybody ain't going to say, hmm, very

690
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 1: fair about that. But for that rim that out there,

691
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 1: my sheep, knowing my voice, the Lord says in another

692
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: they will not follow. I'm here for that rimane. That

693
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 1: reman must step forth, that reman of our people must

694
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: step forth, and we will, you know. So I just

695
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: wanted to put that out there and just let you

696
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: know that that's coming. And I love my people, you know,

697
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: I love us. I love us and all our video consentually,

698
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: you know, all our little shortcomings. And you know, I

699
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: always say this when I was doing police accountability. If

700
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: you're a leader and you haven't learned to love or

701
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,720
Speaker 1: lead beyond your pain, you shouldn't be a leader because

702
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: if you're dealing with our people, that's gonna go with

703
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: the territory. And if you haven't been equipped to deal

704
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 1: with that and lead beyond that and not allowed that

705
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: to impact you, you shouldn't be a leader. You in

706
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: the way Let me say that again. If you are

707
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: a leader and you have not loved to learn, if

708
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: you have not learned love or leave me on your pain,

709
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be a leader. Mm hmmm, Well this was powerful.

710
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: I know it's a Friday night. I don't want to

711
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: take too much more of your time, but I I

712
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: just love you, know how God, Uh, it's this time

713
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: and it's always perfect. And when we take little things

714
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: and what people may think is a negative internity into

715
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: something positive, that is leadership. But we can set ego

716
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: aside and say, how can I use this situation in

717
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: order to move people closer to the main goal of

718
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: getting our community activated from every side, every walk of life,

719
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: from HBC used to the hood to the whatever. Uh.

720
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: This is what this was about. And I appreciate your

721
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: leadership it and I wanted people to see that. Uh.

722
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:07,439
Speaker 1: There is real love between black women and men. There

723
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: is real love between brothers and sisters. There's real love

724
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: from people that have uh different ideologies and philosophies because

725
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: the common ground is love for black people. And I

726
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: want people to also know that there is I appreciate

727
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: masculine because I know there's this thing out there about

728
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: removing masculinity, and there were some questions about that on

729
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: on my comments, So I want to be very clear

730
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: that I appreciate masculine energy the same way that my

731
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 1: brother Dre appreciates his wife Dove and her feminine energy.

732
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: And if you go look at any of the stuff

733
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,240
Speaker 1: that he's talked about and how important having his wife

734
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: is and how important she's been to stay down, it's

735
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: nothing like you heard Dre say that his wife gave

736
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: him a kidney, so when you talked about the Lord blessing,

737
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 1: you would have real and she literally give you her kidney.

738
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: It don't get no better than that. A girl give

739
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: you a couch. But that's right, that's right. That's another level.

740
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: That's another level. You need to hear that, and then

741
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 1: the understands when it comes over the way, you're just

742
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: gonna be on y'all, just gonna be no. You're gonna

743
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 1: see what love look like and and lending the floor

744
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: to somebody else. I don't have to do all the talking.

745
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: My job is to try to open up the door.

746
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: Your job is to open up the door. And we

747
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: come through and we elevate each other to make sure

748
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: that we're touching somebody, like you said, not everybody. I

749
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: say all the time, I'm not here a tupman. I'm

750
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: gonna leave some of y'all. We're gonna honk the horn

751
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: one time and we're moving on. Because if you don't

752
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: know if you're free by now, they love using that analogy.

753
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: Harrya went back, that was then this is two two.

754
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: If you don't know if you want to be free

755
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: by now, you just don't want to be free. So

756
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna risk trying to get you, and I'm

757
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: just gonna blow the horn like the rapture and they

758
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: say you recognized the horn, and then come on in

759
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: and we're gonna move and go to the next level.

760
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to have you here, and I'm

761
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: gonna continue, uh, you know, to advocate for you. People

762
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: kept tagging you because you are infamous. So when people

763
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: when I when not under the Commons, people kept tagging

764
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 1: real Gorgeons Drake, Realorder, and I was like, oh, that's

765
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 1: my brother, you're tagging him, that's actually my brother. So

766
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna take this conversation and actually talk because that

767
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: is how the Lord organizes um, because he is the

768
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: greats organizer of them all, the most high, and so

769
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: this was meant for him. So I wanted people to

770
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: be introduced to you. I'm definitely gonna keep pushing the

771
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: line so that your voice is elevated. I hope to

772
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: see you on Breakfast Cover because I know what that

773
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: feels like to you know. Bus News has more viewers

774
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: than anybody. I tell people, let's not get it twisted,

775
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 1: more views than anybody on basic cable period. They even

776
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: be ESPN. A lot of folks say, oh this was

777
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: old folks watch it well, No, they beat Nickelodeon, Comedy

778
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: Central more viewers than anybody on basic cable. So it's

779
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: not about the numbers. If it was just interested in

780
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 1: the normal numbers, I'll go over there. But I want

781
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: to be able to touch different areas, you know, of people,

782
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: to get my people to know that, hey, there's a

783
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: blessing for you over here. And so we're gonna keep

784
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: elevating anything that I can do, have me having my

785
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: podcast on you know, Black and Fall podcast network. I

786
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: heard radio and We're gonna keep building brothers. And so

787
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: I'm always, as you know, a phone call away, a

788
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: plane ticket away to be down on whatever it is

789
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,960

790
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: to you and just keep opening the door. And I

791
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 1: wanted people to hear from you. It was important, um

792
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: that they heard from you, so there would be no

793
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: question about you and the receipts and everything that you

794
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: bring to the table. And I hope folks got something

795
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: out of this. I'll let you close. You know, we're

Speaker 1: continue to help you do that. So I will leave

804
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: closing remarks to you as we get out of here.

805
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 1: I believe in building black family and back power and

806
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: married twenty three years. My son works with me and

807
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: the music. One of my sons graduated Yale. I got

808
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: a daughter that graduated U c. L A. You know,

809
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: you don't have to be defined by your past. You

810
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: don't have to be defined by your past. Just take

811
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 1: it from me. You know, I was in a worst

812
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 1: case scenario than most people, you know, having to dig

813
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: myself up out of where I come from, that mindset,

814
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: having to dig myself up out of that. So I

815
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 1: just want to encourage you out there. You know and

816
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: didn't remember this. I want you to understand this is very,

817
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: very important. The scripture says the only way, there's no

818
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: other way. There's only one way that people will know

819
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: that you are my disciples, by your love one for another.

820
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: This is how I judge our people. If I don't

821
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: see that love that the scripture says shows that you

822
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: are my disciples, you could be blackest par I won't

823
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: consider you my people. M M. I know, it's a

824
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: heavy thing. I said. The scripture says, the only way

825
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: that they will know that you are my people, it's

826
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: your love one for another. That's it. No other way.

827
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 1: And if you're not exhibiting that love, you're not his

828
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: people and you're not mine. That's all I gotta say.

829
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: I heard that I heard that conversation, that rule of

830
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: the nation for real, for real, literally and figuratively. I

831
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: love it, brother, I appreciate it. That made me have

832
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: do my little scriptures. I did say closing words, but

833
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: I do tell people this all the time, since there

834
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: were so many arguments about the goat, I'll leave with this.

835
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: I did say you had closes the last word, but

836
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: you know when you started talking from I gotta give

837
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: my little scripture into I want to tell people this

838
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,720
Speaker 1: because I live by this, Matthew twenty about the least

839
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 1: of these it talks about in the end, when it's

840
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: all said and done. Since instead of us arguing about

841
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: who was the that's the goat in the game, and

842
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: who's the best rapper and am the best commentator whatever,

843
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 1: let me tell you that in the end of it all,

844
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:08,919
Speaker 1: it's not about who's the goat the greatest of all time.

845
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: We say that all the time to go to go

846
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: to goat, But in the end they say that the

847
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: goat will be divided from the sheep, and the sheep

848
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: is not those that just followed anybody, because I know

849
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 1: we use that a lot old. She's a sheep, he's

850
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: a sheep. No, in the end, when you gotta go

851
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: stand up and given a counting for who you are.

852
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: They said, they're gonna divide the goat from the sheep,

853
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 1: and the sheep is about the shepherd's work. What is

854
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 1: the sheep? What is the shepherd's work? Tells me where

855
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,919
Speaker 1: the shepherd's work is? Matthew twenty five. When they said,

856
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: when I was in prison, you didn't come see me.

857
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: You heard Andre say and don't and didn't nobody even

858
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: comes see about me. M that was a powerful thing.

859
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 1: It said, when you're in prison, I'll come see about you.

860
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: When you're hunger, I'll feed you. When you need shelter,

861
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: I'll give it to you. And I'm paraphrasing, when you

862
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: need clothes, I'll close you. Who among us will see

863
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 1: about the least of these? So anybody can say I'm

864
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: for the culture. Anybody can say I'm black people. Anybody

865
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: can say that. But what you your receipt show right now?

866
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: Are you standing for the culture? Are are you wanting

867
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: to be comfortable? And there's something called the consequences of consciousness,

868
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: And if you have not paid the consequences, the death

869
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: threats on a different level from the biggest pimps in

870
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: the game called the American government from the biggest gangsters

871
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: in the game called the police department. They are the pimps.

872
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: They are the real gangsters. An somebody, Piper, you're getting

873
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: a pipp and all confused. Y'all want to argue me

874
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 1: about who pippan holes. Let's talk about pippanies, Jos, Joe

875
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: Match and Joe Biden. Then I'll be impressed when you

876
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: go against real power. And that's when it comes down.

877
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: Who's gonna go against real power? Because any in me?

878
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: Oh fit me? Who among us? And that's the difference.

879
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: And don't nobody ever discredit what a woman can do,

880
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: because then nobody will. In the Book of Judges, Debra

881
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,879
Speaker 1: said General Barrock, she told a man, General Barrock, if

882
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: you don't deliver my people, he's gonna deliver through the

883
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: hands of a woman. So understand that the woman's won't

884
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: bring life. It's more than just a sexual thing. There

885
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: is a birthing thing. And we need men to be

886
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,959
Speaker 1: standing and leading us. I've made that very clear. Also

887
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: on a breakfast man, I follow me. Don't get it twisted.

888
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: I got to be a man. You got the best,

889
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: but you got to be a man. You've got to

890
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: be a man. Listen. One of the most important things

891
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,280
Speaker 1: in American Pimp that people say to me that impacts

892
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 1: them is when I said, you got to be a

893
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 1: man before you anything, before your doctor, lawyer, pimp. You

894
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: got to be a man first. And I said that

895
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 1: twenty some years ago and I still lived by it.

896
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,399
Speaker 1: You've got to be a man first. That's it. Well,

897

Speaker 1: thank you for showing us what manhood is. I just

Speaker 1: But I am always when I see there's an opportunity

918
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 1: to have a larger conversation and not get down in

919
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: the pettiness and the back and forth. This was an

920
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 1: example of this because to the guy that I offended,

921
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: you were offended. You just were offended. But I do

922
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: want you to know that I love you. I love

923
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 1: of view. And this is work based on receipts. I

924
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: connected when somebody said, oh it's good, pimps too, it's good.

925
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 1: I never said it wasn't good in anything. I get that,

926
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: And I just showed you one who has taken the

927
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: game and taken it to another level. And this is

928
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 1: somebody I met before last week, before I had that conversation.

929
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,120
