Speaker 1: the end of the year to cover up on to
Speaker 1: catch up if you will, on some topics of some
Speaker 1: things that I wanted you guys to make sure that
Speaker 1: you're in the know. I want to say this also,
Speaker 1: a lot of people have you know, decided to just
Speaker 1: tap out. You know, I'm looking at numbers who have
Speaker 1: went down across all cable news outlets except Fox News.
Speaker 1: They make sure they keep their numbers up no matter
Speaker 1: who wins. We'll get to that in a second, but
Speaker 1: the numbers have drastically went down with CNN, MSNBC other
Speaker 1: outlets as well.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: I know that a lot of people you do not
Speaker 1: get your news from cable news necessarily, and that's where
Speaker 1: podcasts like myself come in handy. For those of you
Speaker 1: that say, you know, I really don't want to watch
Speaker 1: mainstream media if you will, but I want to kind
Speaker 1: of tap in with the news and have some idea
Speaker 1: what's going on.
Speaker 2: So I appreciate you for that.
Speaker 1: But I want to say this because this is very important,
Speaker 1: and for those who are listening to the podcast, I
Speaker 1: want you know I do have my Instagram family in
Speaker 1: the background. They are my audience for this particular episode
Speaker 1: because I do love interacting with you guys. And also
Speaker 1: I'm trying to meet you where you are, because again,
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you have just, you know,
Speaker 1: really tapped out, but for some reason, you stay on
Speaker 1: this Instagram, So shout out to the Instagram family. But
Speaker 1: I want to say this, guys, it's not a flex
Speaker 1: to say, you know, I'm just tapped out. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm done watching TV for four years. I'm done watching
Speaker 1: the news for four years. You know I'm no longer
Speaker 1: motivated to be involved. And that's not a flex.
Speaker 2: Guys. You know they are.
Speaker 1: Depending on you to not be informed. They are depending
Speaker 1: on you. And when you say they, I'm talking about
Speaker 1: your oppressor. They are depending on you to be missin formed.
Speaker 1: They are depending on you to tap out. So if
Speaker 1: you have time to tap in to gossip, to celebrity gossip,
Speaker 1: to who's dating and who, to who had a baby
Speaker 1: with who, who's being sued this week, then you need
Speaker 1: to absolutely make sure that you are tapping in to
Speaker 1: at least one source. Somebody in the comments put one
Speaker 1: source that is trying to keep you on game in
Speaker 1: one way or the other. It doesn't have to be me.
Speaker 1: I hope it's me. I welcome you to my straight
Speaker 1: shot no Chaser family. I call you my co teachers
Speaker 1: because here we educate. We bring the dots together, we
Speaker 1: string along the facts. We do a lot of receipts.
Speaker 1: We go back and say remember when. So this is
Speaker 1: a class, an education class. We are always training, learning,
Speaker 1: growing together. So I call you my co teachers. But guys,
Speaker 1: you cannot sit here and think that it's a flex
Speaker 1: to be misinformed. You just simply can't. I know you
Speaker 1: may not be as tapped in as you were during
Speaker 1: the election. I expect that even from these so called
Speaker 1: celebrities who've been, you know, all heavy on the talking
Speaker 1: about politics in the day after the election, they fall
Speaker 1: off as expected. But we cannot afford you to be
Speaker 1: excited about being misinformed. We just can't do it, Lady
Speaker 1: Taris fifty nine. We just can't do it because once
Speaker 1: it's time to get you informed, once something really goes down,
Speaker 1: Now we got to start all the way over from
Speaker 1: the beginning and get you back and formed because you
Speaker 1: just completely tapped out.
Speaker 2: You've just completely tapped out.
Speaker 1: Shout out to you, John Patterson in Houston, I want
Speaker 1: to mention this. I just saw good friend John pop up.
Speaker 1: I will be finally having my tour next year. Very
Speaker 1: excited about this. I've been wanting to do this but
Speaker 1: needed to have somebody that actually knows how to put
Speaker 1: stuff together.
Speaker 2: And mister Graham, I think that's how you pronounce it.
Speaker 1: I needed to actually have somebody know how to put
Speaker 1: it together, because you know, it's one thing for somebody
Speaker 1: to say, oh I can help, and then it's another
Speaker 1: thing to actually have it implemented. So I believe the
Speaker 1: location is a big box. I believe it's what it's
Speaker 1: called something box in Houston. We're doing the first one
Speaker 1: in Houston in April. Then we're doing the second one
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, and the third one would either be Chicago
Speaker 1: or Detroit. We're gonna see. We're going to see how
Speaker 1: Houston and Atlanta hold me down. If we do well
Speaker 1: with Houston and Atlanta, then we want to continue on.
Speaker 1: What's the event that you're having, Tez, great question, glad
Speaker 1: you asked. It will be a town hall, a straight shot,
Speaker 1: no chase of town hall with tequila in town hall.
Speaker 1: So I figured this was a good way to bring
Speaker 1: people out. Y'all put a five in a chat if
Speaker 1: you agree it's a good way to bring people out.
Speaker 1: We do have to sell tickets because obviously we got
Speaker 1: to pay or the event location. We have to pay,
Speaker 1: you know for your tequila shots. And I figured this
Speaker 1: would be a good way to raise money. For the
Speaker 1: training and a good way to promote the training. You
Speaker 1: guys know, my training is the very what I love
Speaker 1: doing more than anything else. But it's a challenge just
Speaker 1: promoting a training. So you know how we like to do.
Speaker 1: We like to come together for a good time and
Speaker 1: then we'll use that capital raised to come back and
Speaker 1: train the folks on what was discussed at the town hall.
Speaker 1: So if we sell one hundred tickets and folks come
Speaker 1: in Houston, and you know, we gather and we talk
Speaker 1: about the issues and what's important, and Houston says, hey,
Speaker 1: you know what, school board is our main issue. We're
Speaker 1: trying to make sure we have ownership of a school board.
Speaker 1: That's a real issue going on in Houston, by the way,
Speaker 1: or hey, we want to make sure that you know
Speaker 1: we have voice in the mayor's office or whatever it
Speaker 1: is that you want to talk about. We're gonna pinpoint
Speaker 1: those issues and then the training, John, We're gonna focus
Speaker 1: on those issues. And this will also give you a
Speaker 1: time to break bread with those in your city that
Speaker 1: want to push the line in a different way. The training, guys,
Speaker 1: the training that I do, it is designed for those
Speaker 1: who want to run for office, want to work on
Speaker 1: a campaign, maybe be a campaign manager, maybe a volunteer coordinator,
Speaker 1: or an organizer, want an organizer around.
Speaker 2: A certain issue. So Houston and Atlanta we're holding it.
Speaker 2: You guys are holding it down.
Speaker 1: You are the ones that get to decide if we
Speaker 1: are able to continue this tour, because if they don't
Speaker 1: do well, then I just can't keep doing the tour.
Speaker 1: And I know somebody's gonna say, well, that's Houston, that's Atlanta,
Speaker 1: what about us in DC? Don't hold us accountable for DC.
Speaker 1: Well that's not how it works. Just like in politics,
Speaker 1: everything is connected to everything. So even if you don't
Speaker 1: live in Houston, I hope I can depend on you
Speaker 1: to share the promo when.
Speaker 2: We release it.
Speaker 1: Even if you don't live in Atlanta, I am depending
Speaker 1: on you to share the promo. You never know who
Speaker 1: follows you. Oh I only have two hundred followers. It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You don't know who's in Houston. You don't
Speaker 1: know who they know who's in Houston. You guys, I
Speaker 1: posted yesterday. This is not the way to brag, but
Speaker 1: I posted this yesterday because I want you to know
Speaker 1: how this thing works. I only have one hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty thousand followers, but five million people have come to
Speaker 1: this page in the last ninety days. I was shocked
Speaker 1: to hear what Don Lemon had to say about me
Speaker 1: about how he follows my work. But guess what, he's
Speaker 1: not a follower on my page. So you can never
Speaker 1: just depend on followers. Don't just say, oh, only have
Speaker 1: two hundred followers. You never know who's looking at your page.
Speaker 1: You never know who you're able to impact. So can
Speaker 1: I depend on you? Can you put a five in
Speaker 1: the chat? If I can depend on you to share
Speaker 1: the tour When I announced the tour, I would appreciate
Speaker 1: it if you share it at least five times. I
Speaker 1: really would because if Houston and Atlanta, if we can
Speaker 1: get one hundred and fifty people to attend Houston Atlanta,
Speaker 1: then we can continue the tour. And I would love
Speaker 1: to be somewhere every other month. I would love to do.
Speaker 1: You know, Detroit, I really want to help Detroit put
Speaker 1: on it's a new mayor. The mayor has turned out
Speaker 1: it's going to be a very highly contested race in Detroit.
Speaker 1: You guys know how I feel about Detroit. You know,
Speaker 1: Rashida to leave deciding to really push for her district
Speaker 1: to vote to sit out the election if you will,
Speaker 1: which is her prerogative. I'm mad at a you know,
Speaker 1: do what you do for the Palestinian people. But I
Speaker 1: really want to make sure that Detroit has every resource
Speaker 1: possible in order to make sure that they have voys.
Speaker 1: So I want to partner with New Air Detroit and
Speaker 1: do what I can in that in that area. But
Speaker 1: these tours they cannot fund themselves. The tickets will be
Speaker 1: very reasonable, about a fifty dollars ticket, but again, you
Speaker 1: get your two shots.
Speaker 2: Two shots at tequila.
Speaker 1: I don't drink tequila, but you know tequila I guess
Speaker 1: would be at least a ten to twelve dollars drink,
Speaker 1: So you are getting that, and then there'll be some
Speaker 1: VIP available, and VIP would include like a gift bag.
Speaker 1: We want to make sure we have some nice gifts
Speaker 1: in there for you guys, you know, books, different things
Speaker 1: that good partners want to give to you. And also
Speaker 1: there will be vendor tables available as well. We're not
Speaker 1: gonna it's not gonna be a black expo, meaning it's
Speaker 1: not gonna be a lot of vendor tables, but probably
Speaker 1: five to ten vendor tables, folks that you know, maybe
Speaker 1: have product that they want to sell, things they want
Speaker 1: to get out to the community, and so we'll have
Speaker 1: that available and give them about an hour or so
Speaker 1: before the event starts to really focus on them. I'm
Speaker 1: going to promote this, promote this me, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go to the Breakfast Club. I'm gonna go to a
Speaker 1: couple of other morning shows. Definitely there in Atlanta for sure.
Speaker 1: Pull up at iHeart, pull up at Young Jock State,
Speaker 1: So we're gonna make sure that Atlanta's turned out. We're
Speaker 1: gonna do Atlanta at bank Head Seafood. Obviously it only
Speaker 1: makes sense to do it at my brother's spot, so
Speaker 1: we'll get that locked in.
Speaker 2: But Houston, I really need Houston to show up.
Speaker 1: I got a lot of support in Houston, and so
Speaker 1: John Patterson, it's on you to make sure that Houston
Speaker 1: shows up, shows out. I think we get one hundred,
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty tickets. That will be great, and
Speaker 1: then we're gonna come back again and do the training. Now,
Speaker 1: the training, because of this new role that I have
Speaker 1: that i'll be announcing here soon, some of the training
Speaker 1: may need to be on Zoom One will definitely be
Speaker 1: in person, but some of it will need to be
Speaker 1: on Zoom because it's just so much content, but it
Speaker 1: will only be exclusive to those that attended the event.
Speaker 1: So basically, for fifty bucks, you're getting access to the training,
Speaker 1: you're getting your tequila, and you're getting to come party
Speaker 1: with me. We're gonna have a DJ and all that
Speaker 1: stuff as well. Put a five minute chat if that
Speaker 1: sounds good. I've really been in prayer of trying to
Speaker 1: figure out how can we get this training to people,
Speaker 1: how can it fund itself? Because I can't go broke,
Speaker 1: you know, of wanting to do it, but I do
Speaker 1: know that it needs to be done. I also didn't
Speaker 1: want to get a bunch of sponsors that wanted to
Speaker 1: try to control the training tell me what to do.
Speaker 1: Also didn't want y'all saying, look she over there selling
Speaker 1: out to the sponsors, you know. So I said, how
Speaker 1: can I do this to raise the capital necessary? And
Speaker 1: the Lord said, well, you know they love tequila's. You
Speaker 1: know they love tequila. So the Lord told me to
Speaker 1: give y'all tequila's shot. I'm just playing.
Speaker 2: Well, the Lord did believe in why did he not.
Speaker 1: Put a five on the jet so you know, ain't
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with little little breaking little bread and drinking
Speaker 1: a little wine. So we're gonna do that. I'm very
Speaker 1: excited about the first one in April. But anyway, this episode,
Speaker 1: let's get to it.
Speaker 2: Guys. Amazon is going on strike. Now.
Speaker 1: They hinted to this early on, if you remember, they
Speaker 1: hinted to this every early on, and they were able.
Speaker 1: People told him to calm down, you know, wait till
Speaker 1: after the holidays. But I guess they said, no, we're
Speaker 1: not gonna wait till after the holidays. We're gonna push
Speaker 1: the line during the holidays so people can feel the impact.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna be quite honest with you, although I
Speaker 1: don't like it. Although it's a straight and people are
Speaker 1: gonna try to catch up, people are gonna catch It's
Speaker 1: actually quite effective. It's actually quite effective. If you want
Speaker 1: to leave a relationship, you leave the relationship when you
Speaker 1: know you can make an impact. You don't relieve the
Speaker 1: relationship if it's during a time that you know your
Speaker 1: presence will not be missed.
Speaker 2: Amen.
Speaker 1: So Amazon is saying, the workers are saying, y'all want
Speaker 1: to play a game. Let's play a game, and it's
Speaker 1: called we want more money. We tired of talking to you,
Speaker 1: so we're just gonna do it during the holiday season.
Speaker 1: Now Teamsters is saying this will not affect the holiday season.
Speaker 1: I don't know, guys, I don't know. I think it
Speaker 1: will put a forward in the chat. If you think
Speaker 1: it will. Let me give you the rundown quickly on
Speaker 1: what's going on. And I'm reading this from Associated Press,
Speaker 1: says Amazon workers affiliated with the TEAMSIRS union. And let
Speaker 1: me pause right there and remind you remember the Teamsters
Speaker 1: did not endorse anybody. Remember, for the first time in
Speaker 1: thirty years, they did not endorse any presidential candidate. In
Speaker 1: other words, they were not going to endorse the Democrat
Speaker 1: candidate BP Harris, even though teams have always endorsed the Democrats.
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna say, bottom line, y'all are endorsing Trump.
Speaker 1: Bottom line, because our unions have always, uh traditionally been
Speaker 1: aligned with the Democrat Party. So why all of a
Speaker 1: sudden did you decide not to endorse So you know
Speaker 1: it is what it is, guys, I told you what
Speaker 1: was what was really behind that? But anyway, Amazon workers
Speaker 1: affiliated with Teamsters launched a strike at seven of the
Speaker 1: companies delivery hubs less than a week before Christmas. Now,
Speaker 1: it seemed like to me teams that should be calling Trump,
Speaker 1: should they not, because you definitely didn't endorse the Democrat
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party, so maybe you should call the Republicans.
Speaker 1: And this is what's getting on my nerves about Democrats, guys,
Speaker 1: this is what's pissing me off about Democrats, even right
Speaker 1: now with the shutdown that's happening. You know, Democrats trying
Speaker 1: to rush in and save the day. I disagree with
Speaker 1: Simone Sanders that was saying, you know, Democrats are a
Speaker 1: little too gleeful. They still need to remember they still
Speaker 1: need to fight people gonna lose their check. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. Even though we're gonna catch as straight, Democrats
Speaker 1: need to let Republicans fall on that sword. Let me
Speaker 1: say it again, this is why Democrats don't nobody ever
Speaker 1: take you serious. Go ahead and call they bluff. Call
Speaker 1: a bluff, even if it means we get hurt in
Speaker 1: the process. I don't like the fact that we're gonna
Speaker 1: get hurt in the process. But the only way you
Speaker 1: gonna learn is, like big Mama said, a hard head maker,
Speaker 1: what y'all a soft.
Speaker 2: Ass so let them crash it out. Crash it out.
Speaker 1: If they say, Elon Musk is the president, then let
Speaker 1: them be the president. Let them be the press. Why
Speaker 1: are you trying to come in and save today? You
Speaker 1: think that you're gonna be rewarded by the Democrats?
Speaker 2: Get on my note.
Speaker 1: That's why I had to leave the Democrat Party in
Speaker 1: two thousand ten. Y'all just too weak for me. Y'all
Speaker 1: just too weak for me. Let them crash out, and
Speaker 1: then when they crash out, come back and say, see,
Speaker 1: I told you I told you so. Oh y'all know,
Speaker 1: y'all don't like I told you so? Tell them you on,
Speaker 1: I told you so to it? You damn right, I'm on,
Speaker 1: I told you so to it because I gotta educate
Speaker 1: you on who to listen to and who not to
Speaker 1: listen to, and who know what they talking about and
Speaker 1: who don't. Because if I if I a line and
Speaker 1: don't say nothing and don't show the receipt, then you
Speaker 1: gonna think I'm like that, and we ain't the same.
Speaker 1: Somebody in the comments, but we ain't the same. So
Speaker 1: you better believe when I get it right, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell y'all got it right, and if I got it wrong,
Speaker 1: I tell y'all got it wrong. But when I get
Speaker 1: it right, over y'all, I'm gonna tell you I got
Speaker 1: it right. And that's the problem with and see Republicans
Speaker 1: do that. They do that, They tell you what they
Speaker 1: got it right, and they even lie when they don't
Speaker 1: get it right and still tell you they got it right.
Speaker 2: Let them crash this bitch out.
Speaker 1: Let them crash it out and then come back and
Speaker 1: say we told you so. All that means people ain't
Speaker 1: gonna get paid. Then okay, Then people need to feel it.
Speaker 1: They need to feel it so they can know that, yeah,
Speaker 1: politics is real. And even though y'all sit back and
Speaker 1: say I ain't got nothing to do with it, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna watch TV. I'm just gonna tap out. No,
Speaker 1: you need to feel it so you can know what
Speaker 1: you need to be paying attention to. So I support
Speaker 1: striking out when you need me most. I support leaving
Speaker 1: that man just when he needs your most. I support
Speaker 1: leaving that woman just once she leaves your mo. We
Speaker 1: gotta make sure we know we ain't the same. We
Speaker 1: gotta make sure can I do it? Can I do it?
Speaker 1: In a relationship metaphor, because I know y'all understand that.
Speaker 1: I know y'all understand that. Oh yes, it's just when
Speaker 1: you lose that way, just when you get that job,
Speaker 1: just when that extra money come in the door, that's
Speaker 1: when it's time to lead a relationship. Oh you thought
Speaker 1: it was time to lead a relationship when you was
Speaker 1: down on baby? Leave it when you're up. Did you
Speaker 1: hear what I said? Did you hear what I said?
Speaker 1: Tell him, Tiff, leave the relationship when you're up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, leave it when you're up. Now.
Speaker 1: Some of y'all leave when you're down because you don't
Speaker 1: have no choice. And then you know which is fine,
Speaker 1: And then you come up and then you let your
Speaker 1: ex ce y'all damn they came up without me. But
Speaker 1: can I give y'all some game? Do y'all mind if
Speaker 1: I give you some game, lay you to. Some of
Speaker 1: y'all leave when you're down, and then they go and
Speaker 1: come up, and then you come back and oh, look
Speaker 1: at what I did.
Speaker 2: But let let me tell you. Let me tell you
Speaker 2: what really hurt.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you how to really how you really
Speaker 1: hit that sore spot. They don't know this part. They
Speaker 1: don't know this part love her to leave it. In
Speaker 1: the chat, I hope you understand it seemed like you
Speaker 1: were about leaving it because your handles say love to
Speaker 1: leave it. So you must be all about to leave
Speaker 1: the caucuss. So let let me go on and talk
Speaker 1: to you. Let me tell you how you really, how
Speaker 1: you really hit that sore spot. See, when I leave
Speaker 1: the situation, I like to leave you better than what
Speaker 1: I found you. Do you hear what I said? I said,
Speaker 1: I like to leave you better than what I found you. See,
Speaker 1: some of y'all liked leave and want to take everything
Speaker 1: when you leave.
Speaker 2: Not me, not me. I'm gonna leave and leave you
Speaker 2: on a ten. I'm gonna leave you on a ten.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave you with all the toys, all the gift,
Speaker 1: the better credit, the better position, the better everything. See
Speaker 1: it's the real game, y'all. This is the real game.
Speaker 1: See some of y'all, y'all get mad, give me my shit.
Speaker 1: I'm coming up picking all my shit everything I did
Speaker 1: for you. I'm ah, not me, I'm gonna leave you better.
Speaker 2: Than what I found you. Why now, why would I
Speaker 2: do that? Now?
Speaker 1: Why would I do that? Well, I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: I'll do it because I want to know.
Speaker 2: If you can maintain.
Speaker 1: I want to know, lady Bourn, if you can maintain,
Speaker 1: or the next one after me can maintain, because see,
Speaker 1: all she got to do is maintain. And see if
Speaker 1: what I did was so easy, it should be easy
Speaker 1: to maintain, right, it should be easy to maintain. All
Speaker 1: you gotta do is maintain. See if you leave and
Speaker 1: you take everything with you, then then the man can
Speaker 1: easily say, what the only reason why I'm doing bad
Speaker 1: is because you took everything with you. The reas why
Speaker 1: I'm bad because you took my last dollar. The on
Speaker 1: reason why I'm doing.
Speaker 2: Bad is ah not me. Let me go and you
Speaker 2: know what you need, baby, you need.
Speaker 1: What you need place cows car Let me go and
Speaker 1: give you ten thousand hego, you got that, you got that?
Speaker 2: Let me leave it all.
Speaker 1: And then so I want to leave you in such
Speaker 1: a position, in such a position that when I leave
Speaker 1: the situation, the impact will be felt because I'm just
Speaker 1: that good.
Speaker 2: Did you hear what I said? I said the impact
Speaker 2: will be felt.
Speaker 1: So what Amazon is doing, Amazon is saying thank you
Speaker 1: for joining Rodson. This will be a baby ball and
Speaker 1: straight shot no chaser on the podcast today on the
Speaker 1: Black Effac podcast Network.
Speaker 2: What Amazon is doing is they say.
Speaker 1: We're gonna leave you doing the Christmas season, So we're
Speaker 1: gonna leave you when we know everybody need they packages,
Speaker 1: and y'all can write, y'all can write all y'all want
Speaker 1: about how this ain't gonna affect nobody. But I disagree.
Speaker 1: I disagree. I believe that Amazon said, well, we're gonna
Speaker 1: figure it out, and we're gonna make sure these five cities.
Speaker 1: Then let me give you the five cities that they
Speaker 1: said are gonna be on strike. They said, we're gonna
Speaker 1: make sure that these five cities. We're gonna penetrate in
Speaker 1: five cities. Somebody say penetrate, can see that makes a difference.
Speaker 1: This is also this is also how you make a difference.
Speaker 1: You have to penetrate in an area. This is how
Speaker 1: politics works. This is why the Democrat Party was unsuccessful
Speaker 1: and why you can't just say podcasts talking to ten
Speaker 1: million people all over the country. You gotta penetrate. So
Speaker 1: they're gonna make sure that they're doing three delivery hubs
Speaker 1: in South Carolina, south of southern California, one each in
Speaker 1: San Francis.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 1: New York, Atlanta, Georgia, in Illinois, not all over the place,
Speaker 1: but just those places. HM, so interesting, so interesting. Not
Speaker 1: only are they doing Atlanta, but it also says Georgia.
Speaker 1: I don't know where that other city will be, but
Speaker 1: two in Georgia, one of the swing states. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be interesting. Well, Georgia, y'all voted for Trump, so let's
Speaker 1: see what to do. Let's see what to do. And
Speaker 1: and I may say, y'all, I'm a new peach y'all,
Speaker 1: new peach alert effective in January. But I didn't vote
Speaker 1: in Georgia, so I'm saying, y'all, so let's see what
Speaker 1: to do now. They said, the Union is saying, well,
Speaker 1: this is not gonna affect thus we're gonna keep moving forward.
Speaker 1: Of course they're saying that because they want you to
Speaker 1: keep on ordering no problem. But I believe the devil
Speaker 1: is a lie. I believe that it will make a difference.
Speaker 1: I believe that Amazon is gonna have to get it together.
Speaker 1: I believe that hurting somebody when they need you most
Speaker 1: makes the difference. And I think this is actually wise
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. Even though packages are gonna
Speaker 1: be late, even though people ain't gonna get what they want.
Speaker 1: This is the only way. Sometimes you got to pop
Speaker 1: off and show them. Sometimes you got to pop out
Speaker 1: and show them. And so Amazon is saying, we're gonna
Speaker 1: wait until you need us most and then we're gonna
Speaker 1: go ahead and fall back. Now they're asking for higher wages,
Speaker 1: better benefits, and a safer worker condition as they're asking. Now,
Speaker 1: you guys, remember there was a strike that I covered
Speaker 1: on front paced News year before last.
Speaker 2: So they still striking again.
Speaker 1: This was one of the issues that I told you
Speaker 1: that was an issue in the Democrat in the last
Speaker 1: presidential election on why Democrats did lose a lot of
Speaker 1: favor because of all these strikes. And remember what the
Speaker 1: auto workers did in Michigan. Remember all those strikes. Y'all
Speaker 1: may not remember it, but they remember it, and they
Speaker 1: remember that when they went to the polls. So the
Speaker 1: answer that was, I guess they need to call President Trump.
Speaker 1: I guess they need to call President Trump and see
Speaker 1: what he got on those high rate wages. See, this
Speaker 1: is why I'm too petty to be a federal politician.
Speaker 1: Let me tell y'all why. That's why we all always say, chessa,
Speaker 1: you need to run well. If I do, it would
Speaker 1: be a city commission. That's as high as I could go,
Speaker 1: because I need a very very small group, a very
Speaker 1: small group of constituents, because I'm too petty to do
Speaker 1: federal shout out to the woman and preaching the building.
Speaker 1: I see he just popped up. Guys, go support his business.
Speaker 1: I had a chance to meet him in person at
Speaker 1: the award ceremony that I was being honored at, and
Speaker 1: he wanted to give me, guys a pocket. I forgot
Speaker 1: what it's called, but it's for men that wear suits.
Speaker 1: And I had to tell him I don't know no
Speaker 1: men to wear suits. So y'all go support. And I
Speaker 1: meant that though he's like, you can get this to
Speaker 1: the man in life, he must don't follow me, y'all
Speaker 1: let him know we we like blue collar workers over it.
Speaker 1: We don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know no man that need no pocket. What
Speaker 2: is it called? Brother?

Speaker 1: something here, pocket square, But it was something like hold
Speaker 1: all your It's like a little purse for the pocket
Speaker 1: and hold all you know the little stuff that the
Speaker 1: brother need for the suits and all that, and he
Speaker 1: was like, can I give it with you? And can
Speaker 1: you take it with you and give it to the

Speaker 1: I'm sorry woman to preach it. I like, uh, I
Speaker 1: like blue collar workers men and they don't wear no
Speaker 1: suits and they don't clean up to go nowhere nice
Speaker 1: and they don't be going to know.
Speaker 2: It's called a pocket glide. Y'all go check it out. Yeah, men,
Speaker 2: I don't know.

Speaker 1: see if it made a difference and in the delivery.
Speaker 1: But we're not going to really be able to know
Speaker 1: because we don't know if it's gonna be because they're
Speaker 1: on strike. We don't know if it's because they're gonna
Speaker 1: be behind with the Christmas with the the Christmas thing.
Speaker 1: We don't know if it's gonna be behind you know,
Speaker 1: holidays in general. Uh, but we don't. So we're not
Speaker 1: gonna really better know if it did an impact, made
Speaker 1: an impact or not. But you know, we'll see. And
Speaker 1: thank you for the compliment, brother, for calling me super cute.
Speaker 1: And as I close this podcast, can I give you
Speaker 1: brother some advice. I don't like being called cute. And
