I am at 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:04.840 the west at the White House, Like, is there a 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:08.679 budget nieu like chair desk? Like do you have a 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.280 like a satellite situation you know where you have your 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.760 own your own place there because you are you stay 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:15.399 on that Amtrak train to DC. 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.280 I know. I'm actually going back on Thursday. So for 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.679 those of y'all who have been full lim wing, I 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.400 actually was at the White House last Wednesday. 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:24.840 I believe it. 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.160 They had a congressional briefing, which don't ask me what 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.600 that is. I guess it's a briefing from members of Congress. 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.480 I'm assuming what it sounds like a congressional briefing, But 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.919 this was specifically on student loans. And so the offices 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:38.800 that led the briefing, well, the main office that led 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:43.480 the briefing was Elizabeth Warren, Senator, and then she partnered 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.880 with Rafael Warnock. Well, actually I think the office that 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.800 led it was the Majority leader, like I said, Senate 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:51.000 Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:53.359 He's a Senator from New York. 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:55.639 Oh yeah, he is New York. 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.880 Yes, and so it was him, and. 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:03.440 Like I said, Elizabeth Warren, Raffial Warnock. Remember Raffia Warnock. 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:08.200 We was all praying that he won that election, remember Georgia, Yes, yes, yes, 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.639 we talked about it here.

I can't remember why. 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:20.600 I don't know. It was alopecia. 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.519 Yeah, it was alopecia. Yes, yeah, I think she was 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:25.280 sharing her journey. 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:26.519 Yeah, so I just sol't. 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:27.720 You know, I've been to the White House before and 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.480 usually it's a bunch of creators like myself, twenty thirty, 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.880 fifty of us, but it was only six of us 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.640 in this like okay, and so at the Capitol, which 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:41.480 i've never been to the Capitol Building and so like, 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:42.840 you know, you could got there early to go for 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:44.000 a tour, but of course I was late, so I 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:47.200 missed my tour.

And I just feel like you're at this 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.200 stage now where you can really maximize that time, and 0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:00.680 it's so great.

I have a lot of plans for 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:26.280 the election run up because, like Tiffany, I think the 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.440 whole conversation we had. I get the apathy level right now. 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:32.560 I need Jesus Christ. It is so terrifying what's happening. 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:36.600 But like I'm choosing, I think this is more important 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.599 than ever to just like have interesting people on to 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:43.400 remind us like shake, get shook, shaken up a little bit, 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:47.040 like this is important. This is a moment. So I'm excited. 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.280 Let's have the Iona Presley, Let's have Lizzie Warrenant. 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:51.880 Yes, so I didn't. I didn't.

I always check with me and 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:00.199 and to be like, how do you feel about this, 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:02.640 you know?

But for Elizabeth Warner, I was just like, 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:12.319 because we sent her black and brown women here. It 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.920 doesn't mean we don't have other women, but we sent 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.280 her them here, and it's are mindful that if we're 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:18.760 going to bring someone who is not a black or 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.480 brown woman that like, let me check even if we are, 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.760 I still you know, check in, but especially you know. 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:29.160 But Elizabeth, Yeah, Elizabeth Warren's policies directly impacted your community 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.040 posit so many huge ways, especially because of her work 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:35.160 in the consumer finance. And it's like yes always, so 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:39.120 I think, allyship, she's got it and she's just a 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:44.360 I'm just so glad she's on the hill. State farm 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.400 agents are small business owners too, so they know how 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.640 to help you choose personalized policies that fit your needs, 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.120 like a good neighbor.

Last year I almost went out of business. 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:11.959 You know, any businesses almost went out of business, it 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:15.120 shouldn't have been. So we know that small businesses. 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:20.200 Are responsible for employing more people than large industry collectively. 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:22.880 And so if I can't tell you how many of 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:24.400 my friends almost went out of business, so we go 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.079 out of business.

Because like and personally too, like you, you 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.800 have momentum when you start out, but the long road 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:50.000 of entrepreneurship it's difficult there's going to come a time 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.280 where you want those advisors to support.
