47
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't change. Go back and listen to why Dr

48
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: West and others started our Black Party and the purpose

49
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: for that. But I want to get into that a

50
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: little bit tonight before we talk about the training. West

51
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: break down to the people why you started out one

52
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: of the co founders of our Black Party, why that

53
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: was a need, why it was necessary, and then we'll

54
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about how you and I collapsed

55
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: with the training. Sure. Sure, for one, thanks for having

56
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: me always love and appreciation. Uh One, I didn't know

57
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: you could sing. I know you have a lot of talent.

58
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: I didn't know you was like, I know you could wrap.

59
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: I didn't know you could sing, so jack of all trades,

60
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: Like I know you can literally you know that's interesting, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,

61
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: but but in any event, uh, once that avenue, we

62
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. So we started our Black Party, uh

63
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: nearly two years ago. We just celebrated our two year anniversary,

64
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: and essentially it was developed because we feel as a

65
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: black folks are politically hopeful, and many of us will

66
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: say it ascribe to the notion that we're not Democrats

67
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: because they don't really do ship for us. We're not

68
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: Republicans because they don't give us what we need, and

69
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: many of us follow into this monocraft. Independent aut of

70
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: us are trying to figure out exactly what that means.

71
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: So we're still trying to understand and figure out where

72
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: we go politically. So we wanted to develop an umbrella

73
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: called our Black Party and shout out to our dear

74
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: brother Puff who was standing in support of us, and

75
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: to really again just create something and a vibe, if

76
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: you will, to let individuals know that you have a

77
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: political home and portantly, there's nothing wrong with black folks

78
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: developing their own agenda on the local, state and federal level.

79
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: Before you were Republican, before you're a Democrat, before you

80
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: inpend it, before you had any political itch, and you

81
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: were black, And there's nothing wrong with us again, only

82
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: our politics demanding what it is that we need. We've

83
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: been trying to work diligently across the country. We started

84
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: off with a great Dealers team, and I'll be the

85
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: first to admit that we have some what we're work

86
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: in progress. Leading a national campaign is really hard. We

87
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: have state directors across the country, but again, trying to

88
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: bring everybody under one umbrella, it's a difficult thing. But

89
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: we've been working steadily along and we're so glad an

90
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: honored to to work with you, our dear a sistem

91
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: for this upcoming training on September ten, which we're gonna

92
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: talk about a while a variety of different things in Atlanta.

93
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: So we need everybody at I just has alluded to

94
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: text pushed the line to six six eight six six

95
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: sign up. We need you in Atlanta. Let's get it now.

96
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this just so that we're clear

97
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: on what a party what it means, because a lot

98
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: of folks may think it's a third party option like

99
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: Democratic Republican. So it's plain to people, Uh, give the

100
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: example like the Working Families Party, what does it mean

101
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: when you say our Black Party? So that they're very

102
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: clear on what it is that you're building. I'm glad

103
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: you actually the questions. So we are five twenty seven

104
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: political organizations. So essentially what that allows us to do

105
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: is raise money for this iss donate to different candidates

106
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: on all three levels. Uh, some individuals will describe that

107
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: as a super pact. But right now, we are not

108
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: a third party. We are not running candidate. Um. You

109
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: see other entities such as the Working Families Party, and

110
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: you saw some elected officials on the federal level national level.

111
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: Rather come out a couple of weeks ago and say

112
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: that both moderates who are from conservative the Conservative Party

113
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: as well as the more liberal party, they're gonna be

114
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: merging together to develop something. We are not running candidates

115
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: again at this moment in time. What we are looking

116
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: to do is a couple of things. One politically, educate

117
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: our people, empower our people to understand what's going on

118
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: in the local and state and federal level. Then lastly,

119
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: as we get to the point in which we are

120
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: in a position in which we can run candidates, we're

121
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: going to be a Right now, at this point in time,

122
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: we're not there. But that's why we need all the

123
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: support that we can get and a part of that

124
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: support comes with us developing our black political army. And

125
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: that black black political army starts off on September ten

126
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: with this training led by our just sister Tesla for girl.

127
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: And then let me say this, let me say this

128
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: test test is very modest. She'll be like, well, I'm

129
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: just leading the training, like I'm not all of y'all.

130
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: Y'all lioten to and y'all watch straight Shot No Chase.

131
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: So y'all know the brilliant political mind that says is

132
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: she's been working on this in a while, variety of

133
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: different ways for years. This isn't something new and what

134
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: she's doing. So she was gracious enough, gracious enough to

135
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: call us in and say, hey, we want to I

136
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: want to support you guys. So I'm forever thankful for her.

137
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: And she brought our black party in, so we're here

138
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: to make sure that you know we're work in partnership

139
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: and tandem and do our job. So she's been I've

140
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: been my job. I gotta get people there. I was

141
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: wondering if you was gonna tell, if you was gonna

142
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: telling the truth, Michelle. Michelle calls me intense. That's the

143
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: word intense. But I could be a lot go ahead

144
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: and telling wis you know I'm a lot? You don't

145
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: you wanna say tens? She'll be on I'm not as

146
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: love though as love. You know, I took Ted's been

147
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: on behind the front. I know capital all. She's like, Yo,

148
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: we got to get our people in. We gotta do

149
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: what we're supposed to do. But but I really believe that,

150
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: and I think to a certain sentence of microcosm of

151
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: of everything as a whole Black folks, there's nothing wrong

152
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: with us having agreement and also having healthy, healthy discussion

153
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: and holding each other accountable, like we need to be

154
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: able to work together one and which is what you're

155
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: seeing us doing with this partnership, with this training. But secondly,

156
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: hold each other accountable to say, hey, make sure you're

157
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: holding up your into the ball. So I love you

158
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: for that, man. And again, we're looking forward to a

159
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: phenomenal training in Atlanta on September tenth. We need everybody

160
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: to be there. Yo, the training is free. You're not

161
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get this kind of Uh, I'm

162
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: not gonna call it star power. I'm really gonna call it.

163
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: Education is political education. Anywhere else you know says don't

164
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: don't beat me up. But I'm gonna say it. This

165
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: isn't CBC. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, I'm saying I

166
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: want to make sure. I want to be clear this

167
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: this isn't the Congressional Black Caucus. This is not UH

168
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: some pack who's trying to get you to pay money

169
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,679
Speaker 1: to do X, Y and Z. This isn't the bulet

170
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: that she would say. I remember, I'm on the national

171
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: board of a hundred black men. This is not a

172
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: hundred black men lead training. This isn't I'm a CAPITALI

173
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: this isn't a capital training. This isn't anything but a

174
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: training specifically for black folks to come and understand how

175
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: we engage and take control of what we need to

176
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: take control up in our communities. So again we need

177
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: everybody to come out as nonpartisan. But it is political

178
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: because everything in life is political. So again we need September. Tim,

179
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: make sure you text push the line to six six

180
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: eight six six. Yeah. Thank you so much, West, and

181
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: thank you so much for your transparency, because it's important

182
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: that people understand how this happens, like it doesn't just happen,

183
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: you know, overnight. UM, a little bit about me outside

184
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: of politics. I was a UH staffing manager branch manager

185
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: for Robert Have also a deck of the first and

186
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: third largest staff and firm in the world, and then

187
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: I own my own staff and firm in Orlando, Florida

188
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,599
Speaker 1: with three hundred employees. I had to really hustle. I

189
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: am recruited by nature. I am educated by nature as

190
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: you are have a massive doll education. You're also political

191
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: science the director of your political science department. So we

192
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: want people to know that this is really a training

193
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: with real projectives programs that are really built out for

194
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: you to get the information. But also I'm a very

195
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: matrix driven recruiter and a lot of reason why people

196
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: is a big difference between HR and recruiting. So I

197
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: come from the staffing world where it's always makes driven.

198
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: So with wex is talking about like I'm saying, Okay,

199
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: I'll go to Nice ten tomorrow. We need these numbers

200
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: just don't pop up. They just don't exist just because

201
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: I talked about it on the Breakfast Club, just because

202
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: we have many high profile people sharing the information, which

203
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: we appreciate that every big counsel, most of the people

204
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: who have been referred have came from people on the

205
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: grassroot level and said, hey, I saw such a such

206
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: share it. I saw this person share so yes, West

207
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: is right. I believe in pushing the line for real

208
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: for real and shout out to I see Christine Vanessa

209
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: in the building, two of our trainers who are part

210
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: of our Black Yeah, I see him in the building,

211
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: and thank you for your patients. Like my team has

212
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: had to be patient for real, because I really did

213
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: come from the military. I believe in accountability. I believe

214
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: in making sure that we're doing it supposed to. Because

215
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: if you tell me you're gonna give me ten people,

216
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: I need that ten so that we can stack that

217
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: teen and stack that tea and stack that ten. It

218
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: really does make a difference because you have to account

219
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: for those shows. That's a part of organizing. So all

220
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: of this is even a lesson in itself. If we

221
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: have three hundred people show show up, I have to

222
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: in my mind say, well, that's really gonna be a

223
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty, not because people are disingenuous about coming.

224
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: We have to look at anything can happen, travel plans, uh,

225
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: different schedule, anything like that. So in recruiting and in organizing,

226
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: for every ten that you read, count on two. You're

227
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: lucky if you get one. And that's why people get

228
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: so discouraged West because they go to these different trainings.

229
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: I've been to CBC training. It's like you, I've been

230
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: to the White House. I did that in two thousand ten.

231
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: I went to Congression like Calcer training. I've been to

232
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: Yale Campaign School for Women. I've been the boat Run lead.

233
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: I've been to the White House, Project, Emilance, Lived, Ruthless,

234
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: you name it. I have probably been in that training

235
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: or a trainee, a trainer like in p Triple C.

236
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: And what I've learned is they bring folks in charge

237
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: a lot of money, hype everybody else, kind of like

238
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday, hype everybody up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can

239
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: do it. I know I've been changed. I just said

240
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: to do that. Note since you didn't know I can see.

241
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: You know that, Hi, I just said to do that

242
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: because he didn't know I could see. But anyway, the

243
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: point is, hype everybody up on Sunday and then on

244
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: Monday you're right back to the same problem. So we

245
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: have to So I wanted a training and what I've

246
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: always done by the way I do this year around.

247
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: This is not something you may see me on TV.

248
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: You may see my commentary, but what I do full

249
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: time is training, consult, training, consult. That's the majority of

250
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: House been my time, but I wanted to open this

251
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: up free to the people to be able to have

252
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: an opportunity because the number one question that we all

253
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: get is what can I on my community? That panel

254
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: sounds good, that that that interview sounds good, the commentary

255
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: sounds good. Yes, yes, yes, they'd be so excited when

256
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: I get off TV, but they always ask, but what

257
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: can I do? So this training just going over a

258
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: couple of different in this hip hop infused by the way,

259
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: but just so you know campaign team and responsibilities. You're

260
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: gonna be divided up in two rooms. The candidates and

261
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: operators will be together because actually the candidates and operas.

262
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: Guess what the breaking news is You're probably gonna be

263
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: your your candidate and the campaign manager. So we have

264
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: can buy those two classes. We gotta tell them the truth.

265
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: We can buy those two classes so that you can

266
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: get both of those. Michelle want leave baby system mind

267
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: and ment to your mind. Someone I worked with on

268
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: the Bernie Standers campaign. She's gonna be leading that effort

269
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: to be able to talk to that audience. At the

270
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: same time, you have a labminent on the color coordinated laminate,

271
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: so we can know exactly who is who, so that

272
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: as we're talking and answering questions, we're able to answer

273
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: those questions, you know, according to your training track. So

274
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: those individuals be together and then in the separate room

275
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: led by Christie was also here in the line. She'll

276
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: be leading the organizer training with all of the organizers. Now,

277
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: some people may say, what is an organizer? Well, a

278
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: candidate is obviously that, but I will I don't want

279
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: people to think it's just candidate for federal government or state.

280
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: Are local you could be a candidate being a precinct chair.

281
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: You can be a candidate. Uh in Orlando, we have

282
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: soil and water commissioner. Like everything that you do. When

283
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: people say I don't do politics, well guess what politics

284
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: does you? Anytime you off this side, something has to

285
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: be aligned with politics. So there are positions that people

286
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: should know about that you can run for literally like

287
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: nobody even signs up to run for him. So if

288
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: you're thinking, hey, I want to be in a leadership

289
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: role in an elected position, then sign up for the

290
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: candidate slide. And you don't have to know for sure,

291
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: just at least know what your one track is. An

292
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: operative means because we have to assume that people don't know.

293
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: And operative means you want to actually work on a

294
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: campaign for a candidate. It may be paid, it may

295
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: not be paid. A volunteer chair, a fundraiser chair, campaign manager,

296
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: any of those roles. That is what an operative is. Now.

297
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: Organizing could be a number of things, and organizing could

298
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: be Hey, I'm gonna get some people together and push

299
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: to get a new park in my community. And organizing

300
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: maybe hey, I want to start a pack to hold

301
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: elected officials accountable. And organizing, maybe I want to get

302
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: a petition drive, I want to start a protest. So

303
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: the organizing track, which is our our largest track. By

304
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: the way, most folks are engaged on the the organizer side.

305
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: They will be by themselves all day in the training.

306
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: So we'll bring everybody together in the in the beginning

307
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: west and I will present. You will go into your

308
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: separate rooms. Then we'll come back again for lunch. It

309
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: is free lunch, everybody. Somebody typing the comments free. I

310
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: wish y'all would complain about it. I've been now here,

311
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: no play. Y'all better sit there, act like just like

312
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: y'all sit there Thanksgiving and eat that nasty macro on

313
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: the cheese, and y'all brought that you know, damn well

314
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:53,239
Speaker 1: can't cook good background, y'all better sit there, and y'all

315
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: better sit there and be lying act like it's the

316
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: best sandwich you ever had, because they are some expensive

317
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: damn sandwiches. And we had to facts like for real,

318
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: and we we had to just so y'all know. And

319
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: again I'm sharing this because I want you all to

320
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: know how hard this is um to organize. We had

321
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: to buy fool from the convention center in order to

322
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: have this, so we couldn't bring in an outside caterer.

323
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: We had a minimum that we had to spend and

324
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: we're talking about tens of thousands of dollars. We're talking

325
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: about the two three hundred dollars. So you have an

326
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: option to pick what your lunch is an option for

327
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: those who are vegan. It's on the registration. Will have

328
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: a lunch and then West will present um his his presentation.

329
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: Then you'll go back again out into your separate rooms.

330
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: But I want you guys to know that everybody's learning

331
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: everything at the same time. It is just cater to

332
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: your track. So let me go over those right quick.

333
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: Campaign team and responsibilities. That is gonna be power by

334
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: because I'm using hip hop that's powered by what we

335
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: are soldiers y'all. Remember that's all. We are soldiers because

336
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: you have to understand what it means to be a soldiers.

337
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: So campaign team responsibilities, there's teams and responsibility roles. Even

338
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: if you're an organizer, you have to have somebody that's leading.

339
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: That's over for fundraising. So we're gonna go over that.

340
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: The second class power by two ambition of a rider,

341
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: ride and die ambition of a rider. That is community

342
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: coalition building. I wanted a session that literally is called

343
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: It's all about the weed, but it falls on me

344
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: what does that mean? That means it's great to say

345
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: we we weed, but at the end of the day,

346
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: the buck stops with you. So you still have to

347
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: know that even though you've got soldiers and even though

348
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: you've got people around you, it still comes down to

349
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: your ambition as a rider. So community coalition it talks

350
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: about how to build, how to organize, how to get

351
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: folks uh you know, um aligned with you. Then we

352
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: talk about thinking of a master plan, y'all. Remember that's

353
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: all thinking of a master plan. This is campaign planning

354
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: that actually talks about how do you plan, how do

355
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: you put things in process? And again, even for an organizer,

356
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: there is planning. It's great to say, oh, I'm gonna

357
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: do this, but how do you plan and lay that out?

358
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: After that? It would be campaign compliance big business, y'all.

359
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: Remember that's all big business with Swiss Beach. Compliance is

360
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: where people really failed. And I'm gonna give it back

361
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: to you West when I go through these topics and

362
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take too much long, but yeah, that's where

363
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: people fail. Even now, I'm noticing when I'm sending you

364
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: guys confirmations and then you're not hitting confirmed, You're gonna

365
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: get two or three confirmation between now because guess what

366
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: things change. So when marceluses in the comment that did

367
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: you mean to send the confirmation? Just hit the confirmation

368
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: if if I see you follow confirmations confirmed each time.

369
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: That's a part of campaign planning. You have to feel

370
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: out your paperwork. You gotta make sure your PaperWorks on time.

371
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: If you don't, people have gotten off the ballot, have

372
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: been disqualified from things based upon you not reading. You're

373
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: not following. So that's why you guys have been getting consistent,

374
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: consistent um information for me, so when you say, oh,

375
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm already confirmed, I don't need to confirm again. If

376
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: I seen you something, hey hit see the confirmed hit it.

377
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: That makes a difference, and it is less than number

378
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: one to how to organize. You cannot remember guys who

379
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: filed out the surveys. One of the things on the

380
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: questions I had is I'll promise to check my email often.

381
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: These are tools that I'm trying to show you. You're

382
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: even learning before you get to the training. The reason

383
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: why I'm asking this because people said I didn't get

384
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: the email. You gotta start beating the process of learning,

385
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: how to check spam, learning, how to find learning, how

386
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: to have all the information I've developed f a Q

387
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: for those who have questions, they're available. So campaign compliance

388
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: is very important. And then the last one showed me

389
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: my opponent powered by Little Wayne. That is campaign management.

390
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: The reason why I wanted those sessions that way was

391
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: was planning and then compliance and then going to get

392
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: the opponent is because normally it's uh planning and then

393
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: they go straight to management, straight to go out to vote,

394
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: and they forget all about the compliance part. And then

395
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: you say, all day, we got all these positions petitions,

396
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean anything because we didn't get it

397
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: in on time. Now, there's only so much we can

398
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: teach you in the seven eight hour period that starts

399
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: at seven am. At the end the round six or

400
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: so each session to be about an hour and twenty minutes.

401
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 1: There's only so much we can give you in this

402
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: pack day, but it will at least get you off

403
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: to a good start. I'm gonna do another online training

404
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,479
Speaker 1: for those who are asking it, will it be streamed?

405
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: This will not be streamed. Uh, this is we want

406
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: people comfortable to ask questions. We're not streaming. But I

407
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: will have an online when in November and then another

408
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: in person in January, likely New Jersey or California. But

409
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna rotate this between online in person online in person.

410
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: So for those who are interested, still text push the

411
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: line of six six Stade six six if you want

412
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: to be on the mailing list for the next trainer

413
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: and let people know that you are an elected official,

414
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: that you served an electric capacity and give them some

415
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: feedback on that. Literally is just gonna say that one

416
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: appreciate you understanding. I think as you all come to

417
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: the training, you will understand the level of thoroughness in

418
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: which test breaks things down because it's it's important. Some

419
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: individuals may believe that it's kill and why don't I

420
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 1: have to understand and have all this information. But as

421
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: she just alluded to, UH, there these are real life

422
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: examples specifically with the compliance position or perspective. There's a well,

423
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna going too who but but you can

424
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: it literally google individuals being removed off of ballots and

425
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: it's currently going on in this current election cycle on

426
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: the local and state levels. You can just look across

427
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: the country in which you would see individuals be removed

428
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: from ballots because of lack of compliance. So it's of

429
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: the utmost importance. UM, as tests alluded to, I was

430
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: the vice mayor of Charlottesville, Virginia. I was the youngest

431
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: person ever elected UH and I was the one on

432
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: the city council and in serving as vice mayor when

433
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: we had the Confederate statutes removed. And I also was

434
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: able to push through an equity package of nearly four

435
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: and a half million dollars specifically UH to have a

436
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: positive and back on African American communities. So when we

437
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: talk about like moving policy, when we talked about the

438
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: understanding the dudes adults I do only have just running,

439
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: but then governing. But then, as it Tests alluded to,

440
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: before you can run, before you can govern, you gotta

441
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: make sure you have your your basics in order, your

442
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: business and order, as my grandma would say. And that's compliance,

443
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: that's understanding what your goal number is. That's understanding how

444
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: you work with people who are currently on the ground,

445
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: so they're of pushing pool as well as some unison

446
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: between individuals who are organized and those who are running.

447
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: And what we're trying to do collectively is our black Party.

448
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: For what we're showing as a unit here working with

449
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: our deer sister Tests, is that there's room the tent

450
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: for all of us. There's a role literally for every

451
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: single person in our communities to make our communities a

452
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: better place. You just have to find out and figure

453
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: out put your role list. Mine was being elected. However,

454
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: I do know that I wouldn't be able to push

455
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: policies or get statutes or moving to any of the

456
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: things that we do now without the work of those

457
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: who are on the ground, without the work of researchers,

458
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: without the work of those people persons who are willing

459
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: to help get people to the meetings, you know. And

460
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of things that what you go

461
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: through when you are in office. I can't wait to

462
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: do all about kind of the curse of the super

463
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: necros when we're in office, and when you're a black

464
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: person in office, your attitute every single thing, all the

465
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: time be just place that place, and it's it's difficult

466
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: to understanding how you find balance, understanding how you you

467
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: balanced and maintain uh some kind of equity between your

468
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: family and your personal life as well while you're always

469
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: on the job. So there's there's a lot of different

470
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: things which we're gonna touch on again from the operative side,

471
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: from the organizer side, from the elected and this is

472
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: again really going to be by us and for us.

473
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: And when we say for us, we're talking about for us,

474
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: no disrespecting nobody else. But that's to have a training

475
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: specifically for our people. And again, I personally can't think

476
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 1: says enough for trusting us as a partner but then

477
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,239
Speaker 1: doing a lot of the heavy lifting to get us

478
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: to where we are now. So salute to you, my sister,

479
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: and I love you for life. Thank you, I love

480
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: you too, And and just to. I'm glad you said

481
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: that because actually one of the sub topics is the

482
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: SWAT analysis. For those who don't know what the SWAT

483
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: analysis is, that's the strength weakness, this opportunities and threats,

484
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: and it talks about that stuff like your family, like

485
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: can you really do this? You know, how do you

486
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: do this? Um? With being you know, by yourself. I

487
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: started my staff and firing going through a divorce with

488
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: a three month old on my hip. That it got done,

489
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: but it was hard, so having those conversations. But I

490
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: also want people to know that there will be additional

491
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: training after this that will go a little bit deeper.

492
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: So this is like the basics. And even no matter

493
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: how much you think you know, you probably can learn

494
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: something and nothing else. You're sitting next to somebody. They

495
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: got some skin in the game, and it's important to

496
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: network with other people as well. Um, but I want

497
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: people to know people that are coming, oh yeah, I

498
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: need to learn somebody else. I want to learn how

499
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: to interview and media. Like you know, we're gonna start

500
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: with the basics. This ain't about trying to figure out

501
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: what I do on Fox News. You first you need

502
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: to get this base's prerequisite like you would anything else

503
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: before you start going to do that, let's do this part.

504
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 1: But I will be offering those types of training as

505
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: we get down the road. But again that's one of

506
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: the problems. People want to skip and go straight up

507
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: to be a senior instead of going through freshman software, junior, sing,

508
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: and senior. One reason why, and not bragging, but one

509
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: reason why I think I'm so good on News of

510
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: the Day commentary, which I'll be on in the morning.

511
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: I don't know my topic in the morning. But one

512
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: reason why I'm good at that and it's live and

513
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 1: I can hit you back, is because I'm constantly studying

514
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: this all the time, twenty four hours a day. I'm

515
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: constantly information, constantly reading, constantly information sharing with colleagues in

516
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: this business. And so if you don't know how to

517
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: do that, because you can't respond to email and you're

518
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: not keeping up, then it ain't about going to on TV. First.

519
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: You need to get this part down. So understanding that

520
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: there's some sweat and some grind in it, it's very important.

521
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: So I want when I wake up in the morning,

522
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: I want to see ten more people that have UH

523
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: registered for this trade. It is free, it is in Atlanta, Georgia.

524
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: Also people share it. Stop thinking you know people's dreams.

525
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people to say, well, I

526
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: don't know nobody in Atlanta. You don't know. I don't

527
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: know nobody who want to do that? Are ain't nobody?

528
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: Even I don't have friends in politics. You don't know

529
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: what somebody is quietly dreaming. Again, you don't know what

530
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: somebody is quietly dreaming. There's somebody right now in your

531
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: circle that's saying I want to do more. I just

532
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: don't know how to ask. One thing about being an

533
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: adult educator is they literally talk about it. Their statistics

534
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: out there that adults are the least likely to ask

535
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: questions because people feel intimidated, they feel they should already

536
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: know the answers. They feel dumb, they feel they've missed out.

537
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 1: So you don't know what somebody's dream is. So the

538
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: call right now to you is, as we close up

539
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: in the autocol, the call right now to you is

540
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: just share the information. All you gotta do is share

541
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: y'all shared lead photos, y'all make sure y'all stay on

542
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: top of it, which I appreciate by way, but y'all

543
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: shared lead photo. This is I just type of training

544
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: I'll do. Y'all we go from church. Don't tell them

545
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get with me, but y'all share everything else,

546
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: share this information. Don't keep caught up in that mindself.

547
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't want seem like I'm riding. I don't want

548
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: seem like I'm I'm being a fan. I don't wanna

549
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: seem like you know, we we share all kind of

550
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: bullshit all the time. Let's share something positive. You also

551
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: don't know who you know that may know somebody in

552
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: the Atlanta area. But just to be clear, people are

553
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: coming from all over the country. It kind of makes

554
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: me nervous West. So I'm like, people really coming from

555
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: d C in California, New York, and it makes me

556
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: nervous because I just wonder, like, are they really gonna

557
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: do It's something gonna happen. But I want to make

558
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: sure that we get a hundred people from the Georgia area.

559
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: But we got a lot of people come from South Carolina, Birmingham, Tallahassee.

560
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,239
Speaker 1: I mean, people are really coming from all over. So

561
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: you do not assume what has been put on somebody

562
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: else's heart. You just speak to their heart and just

563
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: forward the information forward the flyer and then let that

564
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: be that that really does make a difference. Y'all shut

565
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: out to Bishop Tapaswad in the build and thank you

566
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: for sharing it as well. We've had a lot of

567
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: people who have been sharing it and pushing it, and

568
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: I've been keeping notes, y'all receipts somebody, I've been keeping notes.

569
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: That's right, because we all it's only a few in

570
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: the game that's willing to do the work. So you guys,

571
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: you have to know who your allies are, who your

572
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: accomplices are, who your soldiers are, so that when you're

573
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: ready to activate, you need to know. It's not about

574
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 1: just sitting back and looking good and share damn all

575
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: of that. It's about who is helping you push the line.

576
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: Because when people call on me, I'll push it. I

577
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: don't ask much for anybody at any time. So if

578
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: I'm asking you to share it, share it. That's the

579
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: one thing I'm asking you to do. And like we said,

580
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: this ain't no to play for the overplay. It ain't

581
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: no come in and we're gonna sell you a timeshare

582
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: or we're gonna ask you to do something that. It

583
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: literally is a nonpartisan training for real. We're not gonna

584
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: spend time talking about what about those Democrats, what about

585
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: those Republicans? What about this? What about that? No, it

586
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: is content, content information. Whatever your issue is, insert here,

587
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: And I want to be clear about something else where

588
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: because you mentioned for us, I do want us in

589
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: the building. I want us first in the building. But

590
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: let me be clear to you, to the progressives who

591
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: have been sending out this information. If you want black

592
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: people in the building, and y'all better get you'll asks

593
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: in the building. Because if brand and them, hey, bro,

594
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: if they come line up to getting the building and

595
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: I guess they're just gonna be in the building, we

596
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: gotta get out the mindset of saying so I'm not

597
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: herid tubing West. I can't wait on them. We gotta

598
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: move on. We gotta get riders that are ready to move.

599
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: And I would love it to be all black folks.

600
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: But if black folks don't take advantage of this opportunity

601
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: and somebody else does, but then you just helped train

602
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: your opposition. You just helped train somebody that might be

603
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: a inst you. You just have trained somebody that may

604
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: not have your same fundamental belief A black and servative

605
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 1: reach out and said, well, can I show you by

606
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 1: some part by partisan support. I said, ain't know by

607
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: a PARTI support because this is not a partisan. But

608
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: if black and servitors want to come in and black

609
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: democrats are black independence, if you don't like it, but

610
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,680

00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,320

630
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: to get who's in the room, who's gonna be in

631
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: the room and beyond. Just take advantage of this and

632
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna make sure the room is still one way

633
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: or another. So if if you don't want quote unquote,

634

Speaker 1: the others in there to make sure you sign up

635
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: and care and be there. So I'll just close with

636
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: this test again. You know, I always try to give

637
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,880

00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: continue to do these trainings. I'm so happy that we're

639
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,239
Speaker 1: able to work together to put this training on. And

640
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,840

Speaker 1: Bishop Swan. But we need everybody and again all hands that.

645
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,440

00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: don't care what your political affiliation is. And again, as

653
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: we say with our Black Party, before you are a Democrat,

654
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: before you're Republican, before you were independent, before you had

655
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: any political affiliation, you were black. So there's nothing wrong

Speaker 1: come here to get this information. There there is a

674
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: question and answer period, but don't come into trying the

675
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: audition to be no training. This is asking questions that

676
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: are relevant to the information that's being presented in front

677
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: of you. And you asked the questions and we ain't

678
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: got no problem. But y'all see this, This is why

679
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: you need yang and yang y'all. Y'all see he said,

Speaker 1: we opened the listen. No, we ain't, y'all. We're open

Speaker 1: to West opening this. Y'all come till West. Yes, y'all

Speaker 1: line up til yeah. West open to listen. I ain't

683
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: open to listen. You sit down and you get this information.

684
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: Y'all need enough talk. You want to do a training.

685
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: You started training. We're not gonna hold up class behind

686
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: you and your soapbox. So that's really important, and that's

687
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: actually on the registrate on one of the surveys that

688
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: I sent out that said, you're gonna respect the fact

689
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: that this is a nonpartisan training and you're gonna respect

690
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: the fact that you're going to ask questions relevant to

691
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: the content, because what happens is west we'd like to

692
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: get in and everybody likes to you know, yeah, and

693
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 1: we want that's it, and that's and then that's how

694
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: these trainers get thrown off because somebody want to get

695
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: in there where you know, it's really it was really

696
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: really we were uh no, no, no, no no. It's

697
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: not that people don't have good feedback, but this is time, morrigon.

698
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: We got a minute in twenties minutes. We're getting through

699
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: this content by the end of the day. Absolutely have feedback.

700
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: There's question and a Superiors, you're definitely not. It's not

701
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: gonna be me on a soapbox all day. We have

702
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: trainers that are coming in And I did that strategically

703
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: on purpose, y'all, because I know I can get the

704
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: preaching and I can go here that again, knowing your

705
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: strengths and weaknesses, I don't want to talk you all

706
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: down all day long and you get worn out because

707
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: I can be a lot. So I strategically ask other

708
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: trainers to come in to tone it down, to make

709
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: sure that we're going you know, information, really good facilitators

710
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: that won't get off track, and I ain't gonna let

711
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: you get them off track because I'm gonna be dipping

712
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: in both trainers, both sides, all day long. But yes,

713
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: we are open, but we open, but we ain't open.

714
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: This is the this is getting this information. Ask the questions.

715
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: They'll be follow up. But you're not going to come

716
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden take us off course. And

717
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: that's important to say because that's why I'm hustling so

718
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: hard to get the right people in the room, y'all,

719
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: because I'm not about having a bunch of people in

720
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: the room just to be in the room. We want

721
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: to make sure that we got the right people in

722
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: the room, the right people that are engaged and to learn.

723
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: And yes, you got feedback, but like I tell people

724
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: all time, the comment section is not the greatest equalizer.

725
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: Just because we got information access to the same comment

726
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: section don't mean that we have the same skin in

727
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: the game. So we want to be respectful of our

728
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: trainers the content that they've given you. And you are

729
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: not gonna hold up with somebody else trying to learn

730
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: because you're thinking, all of a sudden, you auditioning for

731
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: whatever it is, making a van or whatever. So again,

732
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: that's why you need Yin and Yang. You need different people.

733
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: So West is open here all your feedback. I elected

734
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: days are over. I'm no longer elected. I'm not required,

735
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: that's right, and I ain't never been elected, so I'm

736
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: not I don't have to listen. I don't want to

737
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 1: get you come too second but not. The feedback has

738
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: been tremendous. I mean it has been heart jerking reading

739
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: the comments West of the initial surveys I put out

740
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: to ask why they want to come, it's just been

741
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm talking about it has filled me filled me.

742
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: There's the heighthest level, so real talk y'all. I'm glad

743
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: that you guys are coming, and yeah, we do. We

744
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: want you to engage and you do have an opportunity

745
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: to talk. That's why we're not live streaming it. So

746
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: all jokes aside. But I did have to kind of

747
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: put that in there though, because I don't want people,

748
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, coming doing a pitch, because it's really important

749
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 1: with that people trust this training too. There's a lot

750
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: of us in the space that some people that that

751
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: support me don't support everybody that I rock with, and

752
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: I want to feel comfortable to sending their people to

753
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: not think I'm doing some hidden agenda. So that's really important.

754
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: In fact, it was a system. Somebody She was like, oh,

755
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: can I pass out my book on how to run

756
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 1: for office? And I thought that was a great idea.

757
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: But I can't allow you to do that because I

758
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: don't know what's in that book. I don't know what

759
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: agenda you're pushing. Then I have to be held responsible

760
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: that people can feel comfortable and having a hub that

761
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: they can send people to without an agenda. And so

762
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: the part that makes me nervous about people getting up

763
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 1: and having feedback and all of that is agenda start

764
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: getting pushed. This is not the class to talk about

765
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: what we need to do and how we need to

766
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: be doing this, and we need to be pushing this

767
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: issue and black poles need to do that issue or

768
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: why not this issue. This ain't the class for that.

769
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 1: This is the class to learn how to push your

770
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,479
Speaker 1: issue and you take it home and then you organize. Yeah, yeah,

771
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: well you know again. I think the points that you

772
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: made are extremely poignant and you're absolutely spotted on. But

773
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: I think that the part in regards to some of

774
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: the information and the comments that you've heard of su

775
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,759

Speaker 1: want to wake up. You know we got ten people

830
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: in the morning. We are actually over two hundred and

831
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: twenty people now it only holds three hundred guys. So

832
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: I want to make sure you understand. We still got

833
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,959

834
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: scheduled for next week, week after that. I still got

835
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: some recruiter tricks in my pocket, and if need be,

836
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: I'll go to Magic City to catch me a Magic city.

837

Speaker 1: or the other something. But now we I got some

841
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: other tricks in the trade. So um, getting three hundred,

842
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty people that sign up, that means

843
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: we'll have to have me five, you know, so it

844
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 1: will be feeled, no question about that. But we still

845
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: gotta grind. We gotta grind, we gotta get it, get

846

856
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: or long war about this, and people had a chance

857
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: to chime me in talk about why they're coming, and

858
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: we had some folks volunteer to get a party bus

859
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: and all types of stuff. It was a wonderful conversation

860
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: we had on Twitter audio. So just make sure you

861
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: stay connected. But like I always say, just like FedEx,

862
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: use it, lose it, can't make it, choose it. What

863
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: does that mean? That means I'm gonna give you the game.

864
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: You can either use it, I lose it, but I

865
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 1: can't make it choose and I'm not gonna beg you

866
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: to choose. And I'm just like FedEx. I'm gonna sit

867
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: it down on your front porch, no signature required. Either

868
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: you gonna get it, are your neighbor gonna come get it?

869
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, somebody gonna pick

870
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: it up because I've been called to drop the game

871
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: and give it to you, and you want to get

872
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: it or you don't, Somebody's gonna get it. And thank

00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: live in Atlanta. We need to I need five people

880
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: be able to say Marcella's sitting me here. This is

881
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: the first step on learning how to push the line.

882
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 1: Make people move. If they moved to my family. They

883
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: don't want to do it, then stop talking to your family,

884
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: go talk to a stranger. We have five five Spellman,

885

00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: grocery store, people in the hood. You should be able

887
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: to get two or three people. I don't know how

888
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: to do it. Well I did it, and that's why

889
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: it's called push the line. We gotta start pushing each other.

890
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: Go a little bit harder, a little bit further for

891
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,760
