Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't.
Speaker 2: Want to ask your question.
Speaker 1: Real good, Let's just keep it real straight shot with
Speaker 1: no chasing. So I'm gonna get a little bit rougher.
Speaker 1: I'm here for it. Those who really believed in the
Speaker 1: American process, all of us Street shot, no chase.
Speaker 3: With your girl, Tesslam, figure out on the Black Effect,
Speaker 3: podcasting at work, at work, straight shot, no chaser will
Speaker 3: tellest figure out Marcella's row here again tapping.
Speaker 1: Back, any of you guys.
Speaker 3: Always want to thank you for supporting me, for rocking
Speaker 3: with me, for nerding out with me, and caring enough
Speaker 3: about these issues that to be honest with you, it
Speaker 3: gets really frustrating because you're always trying to push through,
Speaker 3: you know, all of the commentary, all of the foolishness,
Speaker 3: all of the entertainment. And although politics has become entertaining,
Speaker 3: it's still you know, the boring stuff that people just
Speaker 3: don't find a lot of interest in. And so I
Speaker 3: just want to thank everybody, you know for rocking with me.
Speaker 3: I think people are getting more and more, you know,
Speaker 3: understanding of what is required, and it's funding ourselves. I
Speaker 3: was talking to Commissioner Hell this morning, and you know,
Speaker 3: we were talking about one thing about it.
Speaker 1: Once the Trump administration is over, people gonna respect.
Speaker 3: The work, you know, and people telling And what I
Speaker 3: mean by that is by the time he gets done
Speaker 3: dismantling this and taking this apart and putting this back
Speaker 3: to doing this and doing that, people are gonna be like, oh,
Speaker 3: that's what Tellson's talking about. Oh that's what sudden that
Speaker 3: I was talking about. And it's just kind of unfortunately maurselves.
Speaker 3: But people just gonna have to learn in real time.
Speaker 3: And this is not anti Trump and pro Democrat pro
Speaker 3: you know, I'm really there was a time. You know,
Speaker 3: I am all about giving Democrats a business.
Speaker 1: I really am.
Speaker 3: Anybody that follows me know, but I'm also objective and
Speaker 3: honest and telling you what it is calling a thing
Speaker 3: a thing, and so so much has been tribalized, you
Speaker 3: know when it comes to politics that anything you owe
Speaker 3: you must be Democrats shield Oh you must be. Have
Speaker 3: your issues with the Democrat Party, have them, feel free
Speaker 3: to have them. But when we talk about individual things,
Speaker 3: individual policies, individual you know, nothing that happen to do
Speaker 3: with who like Trump and who is who that have
Speaker 3: the issues that you don't if the issues that you
Speaker 3: think Democrat parties spend too much time on, which is
Speaker 3: the same thing I keep hearing from my conservative friends.
Speaker 3: LGBT immigrants. That's only two things y'all talk about. Okay, fine,
Speaker 3: I get it. But when it comes to healthcare, anybody
Speaker 3: that's sitting up here telling you don't worry about it, y'all,
Speaker 3: we gonna be Okay, I really want to know what
Speaker 3: we are they talking about, and that's what we're going
Speaker 3: to talk about on today's show because I'm going to
Speaker 3: continue to keep talking about this over and over and
Speaker 3: over all the way up until twenty thirty before y'all forget,
Speaker 3: because then about ten by then you guys forget. So
Speaker 3: first I want to do just a couple of little
Speaker 3: church announcements. Want to remind everybody the class of course
Speaker 3: two of course five five courses in the Push the
Speaker 3: Line program.
Speaker 1: Of Course two is January nineteenth. January. Now you know
Speaker 1: I'm sitting for talking sounded like what's the name July nineteenth,
Speaker 1: which is is that two weeks or a week from now?
Speaker 3: Okay, keep me on board. Marcella. Shit, I'm all high, y'all.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I just had my mind is just literally
Speaker 3: just all over the place. So two weeks two to
Speaker 3: five Eastern time, and we're going to cover building coalitions
Speaker 3: in traditional and non traditional.
Speaker 1: Coalitions.
Speaker 3: What it's many is it's kind of what you see
Speaker 3: Marcello's with happening with the NYC mayor, you know, the socialists,
Speaker 3: and how he was able to go get these other
Speaker 3: groups and galvanize it. And I love a good shakeup.
Speaker 3: I'm be quite honest with you. I love a good shakeup,
Speaker 3: whether you are socialist or not. I love it when
Speaker 3: people think that everything's going fine and the system is
Speaker 3: going and somebody come in and say, oh, you know what,
Speaker 3: we're gonna do something different. Saw a lot of articles
Speaker 3: on that today saying that it's a good message or
Speaker 3: you know, it's a good thing to shake things up.
Speaker 1: But he's the wrong messenger.
Speaker 3: Well, if you don't like it, a Democrat party, get
Speaker 3: out there and do something better, because it looks like
Speaker 3: people are aligning themselves with his message, which is people
Speaker 3: are sick of struggling.
Speaker 1: Period.
Speaker 3: Call it socialists, call ever you wanna call it. People
Speaker 3: are tired of struggling. Marcellus And I look at these
Speaker 3: rich folks who do well, these content creators and they
Speaker 3: say things like, you know, get you and shout out
Speaker 3: to Rege smile.
Speaker 1: I know he mean anything by it.
Speaker 3: But when I heard Miss Morning saying, you know, try
Speaker 3: to get you a dual citizenship. Can't nobody get no
Speaker 3: due where who getting a dual citizenship? You don't have three,
Speaker 3: four or five hundred thousand dollars to go. I want
Speaker 3: people to really know, like what that means, you know,
Speaker 3: one to go through the process get the dual citizenship,
Speaker 3: then to go to Africa. What jobs are you thinking's
Speaker 3: gonna be available to you? The only jobs that are
Speaker 3: available are service jobs. Now, if you got money and
Speaker 3: you can go over there and pay some roads and
Speaker 3: you know, get into engineering, construction, all of that you
Speaker 3: can do. Well, if you have money that you can
Speaker 3: go do something work for over there and be virtual,
Speaker 3: you know, making your money from anywhere. We got a
Speaker 3: friend ins of the turn that does her depositions online,
Speaker 3: do everything online. She flies back to the States when
Speaker 3: she got to go to court, and she's doing just fine.
Speaker 3: But for the average person that needs to go get
Speaker 3: a job, you know at the local store or supermarket
Speaker 3: or whatever, that ain't happening over there. Marcella's those countries
Speaker 3: are still very much under development. So when people saying
Speaker 3: I'm just mold to Ghana and I'm just gonna don't
Speaker 3: get twisted and confused on the tourists side of Ghana
Speaker 3: versus is where your ass gonna.
Speaker 1: Be living it? And if people there talk about it,
Speaker 1: don't even own their own their homes, don't even own
Speaker 1: the generator. Here in America, in the Land of the
Speaker 1: Free and the Home of the brave, Allegedly R W
Speaker 1: went over here, So what makes you think you just
Speaker 1: go over there?
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's what people need to coach,
Speaker 3: just to tell themselves the reality it is.
Speaker 1: Marcellus. We are here in America and we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to figure it out here in America. That's it. We're
Speaker 1: all gonna have to do our part to figure it out.
Speaker 3: Shut out to the I don't know if you saw it,
Speaker 3: but shut out to the Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: You've been seeing the waste of sanitizers that said the
Speaker 1: sanitation workers and say, y'all get somebody else to do it. No,
Speaker 1: you love it. They got trash for days. They said,
Speaker 1: you don't hey, meet us, I pay raise. Hold this
Speaker 1: trash because we're gonna hold the line.
Speaker 3: M That is how you forced let's just use that analogy.
Speaker 3: That is how you force people to be involved. If
Speaker 3: you got to come outside. Now, what the unfortunate part
Speaker 3: is if you walk outside your outside your door, and
Speaker 3: you visualize all the things you can get involved with
Speaker 3: in the local level. You got trash all over your house,
Speaker 3: all in your yard, all up the street, all around
Speaker 3: the corner. But you're so busy talking about what they
Speaker 3: doing that you ain't looking at the trash in your
Speaker 3: own front yard. So people should really visualize what that
Speaker 3: looks like. Look at Philly, all of that trash. Now,
Speaker 3: people are getting pissed off. They tell the mayor, Hey,
Speaker 3: you need to do something bout this, you need to
Speaker 3: get in racked. Well, when they ask for the rage,
Speaker 3: y'all don't want to hear it. Yep, So don't worry aboudy.
Speaker 1: Y'all can take y'all trash out.
Speaker 3: Y'all don't respect us, go pick it up and go
Speaker 3: take it uh to the to the dump field, because
Speaker 3: you can't take it up the street to the other
Speaker 3: trash being because guess what, they ain't picking that up either.
Speaker 1: So I'm loving it.
Speaker 3: This is the type of people power that yeah, where
Speaker 3: people can assaulted, said Marcella's love this. This is take
Speaker 3: the power that makes a difference and how you can
Speaker 3: make a difference. But tween you know the government saying no,
Speaker 3: we're gonna do something different, and then them aside, no,
Speaker 3: we're gonna go ahead and hold the line, right, sanitation workers,
Speaker 3: that's probably the best thing you can do because getting
Speaker 3: them to walk off, everybody gonna feel it.
Speaker 2: Everybody.
Speaker 1: Everybody won't. You're gonna smell it. All of that. You
Speaker 1: gonna see every time you walk outside this door. You're
Speaker 1: gonna know, yeah, we see it.
Speaker 2: People looking down on them, but you see, but those
Speaker 2: are the people that you really need.
Speaker 1: Those the ones you need. That's right.
Speaker 3: Shout up to my uncle Daniel Reist in peace twenty
Speaker 3: five years. He's a sanitation worker, took care of his family,
Speaker 3: left his wife doing well, owned everything he had, took
Speaker 3: care of his family.
Speaker 1: So you look down him if you want to.
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, yeah, you're gonna respect them,
Speaker 3: or you can just go take their trash ash yourself.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 3: I love also that, uh don't call me white girl
Speaker 3: podcast mowner. She got involved in the conversation. I love
Speaker 3: how you know, she could just be talkalking about comedy,
Speaker 3: but she chose to you know, to spend some time
Speaker 3: to talk about that as well.
Speaker 1: Much bigger platform than mine.
Speaker 3: But that's what I mean, Marcel's when I say, we
Speaker 3: still need to get people involved, you know, like entertainers rap.
Speaker 3: I'll take whoever willing to talk about it. All I
Speaker 3: ask is partner with somebody every now and then that
Speaker 3: could do a little more service to your listeners and
Speaker 3: provide them with a little bit more information.
Speaker 1: That's all I ask. That's all I ask. So shut
Speaker 1: out to her.
Speaker 3: I done posted her like two three times that I'm
Speaker 3: just so proud that she just you know, using her
Speaker 3: platform to and not only just she's.
Speaker 1: Not just making a joke.
Speaker 3: This was really good because she's making a joke about it,
Speaker 3: she's being funny about it, but also saying we support
Speaker 3: the union and a call to action. And that's what
Speaker 3: take classes about. How do you build your non traditional coalitions.
Speaker 3: The traditional coalitions are fine, church, you know, organizations you're
Speaker 3: a part of, friends, family, whatever, But then it's the
Speaker 3: non traditional coalitions that really make the difference. So make
Speaker 3: sure you sign up for their class. There's course materials
Speaker 3: already available. I don't have a lot of course materials
Speaker 3: for this one because we're gonna talk through this, but
Speaker 3: there is a template available for you now to go
Speaker 3: ahead and start mapping out your coalitions. Now, let's go
Speaker 3: ahead and call on Marcella's in the class, because y'all.
Speaker 1: Should be all by that. Let's ask Marceillis as Marcella's
Speaker 1: down't load and don't.
Speaker 3: Like as you know, I'm gonna check and look right
Speaker 3: now and download as Marcella's downloaded, uh, his course materials
Speaker 3: and start mapping out.
Speaker 1: Don't try to do it while we're doing it. Now,
Speaker 1: I keep your hands over the movie this is and
Speaker 1: you don't take an opportunity to view the course materials
Speaker 1: and start.
Speaker 2: Mapping ap the coalition.
Speaker 1: Yes, well you have Marcelfa and you now you know
Speaker 1: you lie?
Speaker 2: No, look go look and see you see.
Speaker 1: I don't believe you go see in real time due
Speaker 1: to your to have this you know showed, I don't
Speaker 1: believe it.
Speaker 3: So why aren't we talking about what's a couple of them?
Speaker 3: Are one or two that you've been able to identify
Speaker 3: as you know your try you know, if you needed
Speaker 3: to say, hey, I want everybody in the city to
Speaker 3: wear purple shirts. Give me a couple that you've identified
Speaker 3: as your tribe. Because as if anybody that's been following
Speaker 3: the class had a conversation yesterday on the dashboard, everybody
Speaker 3: got to access lifetime access to the dashboard, and I'm
Speaker 3: going to always point back to what you need to do.
Speaker 1: So my coalitions may be different than yours.
Speaker 3: So what is one that you that you think, even
Speaker 3: if you've never organized it or do anything besides the union,
Speaker 3: that's your traditional ones, your union and your church, your organizations,
Speaker 3: that's easy.
Speaker 1: What is it have you thought about?
Speaker 3: What is a non traditional coalition that you think, hey,
Speaker 3: that might be an interesting group to try to organize.
Speaker 1: That's how we know you ain't dead.
Speaker 2: The sheet I did look at see I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't remember what I put though.
Speaker 1: But just what's top of mind we were working in nowuse.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, because if you say that's a
Speaker 2: traditional one, but you know, I'm always gonna be union, union,
Speaker 2: that's gonna always come to mind first.
Speaker 3: Okay, So what I want to encourage you to do is, okay,
Speaker 3: union union, Union, that's your traditional So what I would say,
Speaker 3: is we want to expand that because the union, you know,
Speaker 3: they pretty much make make decisions as a collective group.
Speaker 3: You want to expand that and see what type of
Speaker 3: I would say subgroups. It's not you know, that's the word,
Speaker 3: kind of like you got a topic and then you
Speaker 3: got subtopics. What kind of groups can even be formed
Speaker 3: within the union. So, for example, if you are part
Speaker 3: of I'm just making it up Union thirty three, within
Speaker 3: that group, there might be several coalitions that you can
Speaker 3: create on your own.
Speaker 1: The black the black.
Speaker 3: People, you know side of it. Maybe it's the people
Speaker 3: who all wear purple shirts. Maybe it's the ones that
Speaker 3: all live on the east side, all live on the
Speaker 3: west side. I want you to still be and look
Speaker 3: for how to even take the traditional groups and even
Speaker 3: create coalitions inside of that. Does that make sense? So
Speaker 3: let's use the church for an example. The church, old
Speaker 3: school church, my new school church, old school church. Everybody's
Speaker 3: a member of paradise about the church, let me ask
Speaker 3: you what groups could I organize within the church. Do
Speaker 3: I just say this is just the church? Or what
Speaker 3: groups can I organize within the church? Give me a couple.
Speaker 2: Examples within the church. M hm oh oh, that's a
Speaker 2: good one.
Speaker 3: So long now, that's that's what the rhythm. More to
Speaker 3: the story is, man say, don't know nothing about church structure, y'all,
Speaker 3: but just when you grew up, let's just think about it.
Speaker 1: Push through the think about it. There's a church. What
Speaker 1: groups are in the church?
Speaker 2: What the deacons the.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, try to push through it. The deacons, that's
Speaker 1: a group, the ushers, maybe the faith based ministry, the
Speaker 1: youth choir. My point is the.
Speaker 3: Church can have three hundred members, but within that three
Speaker 3: hundred members, there are also many groups that have commonalities.
Speaker 1: You know, something that they you know, the youth choir.
Speaker 3: The youth choir is going to be ten to eighteen.
Speaker 3: They have a different if we use and remind me,
Speaker 3: I got to make sure I use this in the class.
Speaker 1: This is good stuff.
Speaker 3: But if you just take a church, so you got
Speaker 3: your traditional hocking, we make those subgroups and then we
Speaker 3: have some non traditional stuff that we'll talk about as well.
Speaker 3: But I also want people to break down those traditional groups.
Speaker 3: So if I were to have a church and I
Speaker 3: say let's go organize a church, don't you think that
Speaker 3: the youth choir would have different goals, different agendas, different
Speaker 3: things that they want to see compared to the woman's ministry.
Speaker 1: Correct, Okay, So.
Speaker 3: In politics, if I'm creating policy and I'm creating, you know,
Speaker 3: something for one group, which is that's why we have
Speaker 3: a lot of the problems, by the way, on the
Speaker 3: federal level, because the average person in Congress is seventy
Speaker 3: eighty years old. So they're not taking into account with
Speaker 3: fifty year olds, forty year olds, thirty year olds.
Speaker 1: Twenty year old you know what, They're not bringing that
Speaker 1: voice to the table.
Speaker 3: So when you have age gender, and it may not
Speaker 3: even be just age a gender, it may just be
Speaker 3: different ideologies, different thoughts, different The women ministry could be
Speaker 3: eighteen to seventy, but women have a different agenda than
Speaker 3: the men's ministry. So although everybody is a member of
Speaker 3: the church, you still want to take those opportunities to
Speaker 3: galvanize within those groups. And a lot of people go
Speaker 3: missing with that. They just think, let me just get
Speaker 3: the church on board. And that church on board may
Speaker 3: be everybody over forty, but you forgot to tap into
Speaker 3: the young people in that church to give them a reason,
Speaker 3: you know, besides your souls to the polls. To give
Speaker 3: them a reason to talk their language. That's why you
Speaker 3: have a youth pastor. You know a lot of the
Speaker 3: larger churches have to have youth pastors. Now they don't
Speaker 3: have the youth going to listen to the senior pastor
Speaker 3: because they ain't lived enough to but here to understand
Speaker 3: what he's saying.
Speaker 1: You follow what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So coalition building is about finding and they don't always
Speaker 3: have to be aligned with you. You know, I talk
Speaker 3: about that with you all the time. You can still
Speaker 3: organize people that have a different opinion of you. They
Speaker 3: have a different thought than you, matter of fact, that's
Speaker 3: who you should be organized. Those are the people at
Speaker 3: the table.
Speaker 1: Everybody at the union believes we need a union to
Speaker 1: be our voice, but everybody don't think the same. That's
Speaker 1: why it's the union. And we get that.
Speaker 3: Black people really get that wrong because we think unity
Speaker 3: means thinking the same.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: Unity means we're all coming together. Sometimes we agree, sometimes
Speaker 3: we don't. Our union is the ability to come together
Speaker 3: to do the work, if that makes sense. Not we
Speaker 3: need to unify everybody. No family all agrees what you
Speaker 3: want tonight, pizza, hamburgers, Chinese. There's always going to be
Speaker 3: a give and take, even in a family three or four,
Speaker 3: in a relationship with two people a give and take.
Speaker 3: So make sure you guys come to the class. That's
Speaker 3: the type of training that you get.
Speaker 1: Guys. You gotta figure out how to organize on the
Speaker 1: local level. Leaders are not gonna come do it.
Speaker 3: Everybody's talking about the you know, the national, national, national.
Speaker 3: You gotta spend some time, you know, talking about the local.
Speaker 3: I was looking at a post today that I just
Speaker 3: shared where they was talking about how crime went down
Speaker 3: by two black mayors, one in Birmingham and then also
Speaker 3: on Baltimore, and people saying, old the news ain't talking
Speaker 3: about it right, because all y'all like talk about is national.
Speaker 1: Y'all't like talking about local.
Speaker 3: Local is the most important thing that will affect your
Speaker 3: life as far as jobs, housing, transportation, school, all of that. Guys,
Speaker 3: we have to get on board on the local and
Speaker 3: state level. I am basically telling you shelter, bunker down, find.
Speaker 1: What you need to board your windows up, to do
Speaker 1: to whatever materials you need, the water, all of that.
Speaker 1: That is what local government is to you find what
Speaker 1: you need to survive the federal storm.
Speaker 3: So you're gonna keep paaring this for me over and
Speaker 3: over and over. And it's not just coming from no
Speaker 3: podcast talk. I'm giving you the steps one, two, three, four, five.
Speaker 3: This is how you do it. So I hope to
Speaker 3: see y'all in the class. Use the pupon cold. Let's
Speaker 3: go to take ten dollars off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, question, I'm gonna ask you, Yeah, in your opinion
Speaker 2: or facts or however you want to put why you
Speaker 2: think people are not attracted to the local like how
Speaker 2: they are with the.
Speaker 3: National Why are they not attracted to it as Yeah, Well,
Speaker 3: it's not saying it's not the masses are not talking
Speaker 3: about it. So if I have a radio show like
Speaker 3: the Breakfast Club that's talking to you, you s to
Speaker 3: help me to the front page news.
Speaker 1: If I'm talking to.
Speaker 3: Eight million people who's driving in the car, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: talk about things that are nationalized, even though it's still
Speaker 3: talking about an individual city, you know, obviously because something
Speaker 3: has happened in the city or the state. But anytime
Speaker 3: you're talking about the media, especial national media, they're talking
Speaker 3: to a national audience. And that's what happened with these
Speaker 3: congress people, and they start talking to a national audience
Speaker 3: like jazz and Crockett was talking to a national audience,
Speaker 3: going around raising six million dollars for the Democrats, doing this,
Speaker 3: doing that, and then after they said that's okay, we
Speaker 3: don't want to put you on the leadership and it's like, okay, well,
Speaker 3: I'll just go focus on dubtas. So national is more attractive.
Speaker 3: It's provocative. It's what gets the people going. Trump is
Speaker 3: constant entertainment, you know, It's just it's what gets.
Speaker 1: All the hype. Local is boring.
Speaker 3: Now in your local city, it can get down like
Speaker 3: you get in the niche of things like you see,
Speaker 3: you know with Reginia Hill oh Man. Local is the best,
Speaker 3: that's the messy, is the funniest, the you know, but
Speaker 3: nobody only people care about it that live there, which
Speaker 3: makes sense.
Speaker 1: That's the whole point. So it doesn't this is not
Speaker 1: My goal is not about what we need to be
Speaker 1: talking about in the media. My goal is about how
Speaker 1: to get you involved. That's what it's about. It's not
Speaker 1: about who's gonna get the headlines. It's not about the
Speaker 1: clicks and the views. In fact, Facebook, because the best
Speaker 1: place to give you really on local, you know, because
Speaker 1: that's friends of friends of friends of friends, opposed to
Speaker 1: Instagram and you know Twitter and all of that.
Speaker 3: Right, So it's about the local level nowhereas you gonna
Speaker 3: see exactly what it looked like. As soon as I
Speaker 3: get back to Orlando at the end of the month.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get busy and I will be bringing it
Speaker 1: to the national level. Whoa time will be had.
Speaker 3: And they know it because I'm a defile. Moved right
Speaker 3: back in my district too. Oh yeah, D five baby.
Speaker 1: DeFi day every day, so you better get ready. It's
Speaker 1: like we like a gang then, but D.
Speaker 2: Five, Oh, that's what they call it. Defied.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that paramo.
Speaker 3: Includes Paramore but also includes all of Downtown and includes
Speaker 3: the Central Business District. So even though it included the
Speaker 3: Hood and also include all of downtown.
Speaker 2: Is District five? Is it? Is it pretty big? And
Speaker 2: District five?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: I mean it's big of what you would say, like
Speaker 3: with a city I think of British voters might be
Speaker 3: six seven hundred thousand, but again all of them don't vote,
Speaker 3: maybe ten to twenty thousand, you know, actually vote. So
Speaker 3: it's Orlando is a small city, just so you know,
Speaker 3: it's so it's six districts that break up Atlanta, I
Speaker 3: mean a break break up Atlanta, and then the county,
Speaker 3: which you know, the city is inside of the county.
Speaker 3: And then we also have County Commissioner six that oversee that.
Speaker 3: So you have the city commissioner, the county commissioner. We
Speaker 3: have mayor for both city and county. I've worked on
Speaker 3: races on both of them, and so that's that's how
Speaker 3: it works. So Commissioner Hill D five, that's you know,
Speaker 3: where I did the most work as far as campaigns
Speaker 3: are concerned. So I've worked on D five, I worked
Speaker 3: on D six, District six on the county level commissioner
Speaker 3: former commissioner Timney Moore Russell, who's now Clerk of Courts.
Speaker 1: She's running for mayor next year, so that's gonna be
Speaker 1: big fun, big big fun.
Speaker 3: She's running to be the first black woman mayor of
Speaker 3: Orange County. Jerry Demmons is turned out Bestval Demis, who
Speaker 3: former congress from valdmis husband, so she's going for that seat.
Speaker 3: So Tiffany has been County commissioner clerical courts and now
Speaker 3: the next natural thing, you know, will be to be mayor.
Speaker 1: So I'm hoping that works out.
Speaker 2: For that's gonna be good. And to both of y'all
Speaker 2: are veterans.
Speaker 3: To you and Regina, we vet as a different type
Speaker 3: of veteran. We're looking forward to it. All administration, the
Speaker 3: time will be had.
Speaker 1: You can best believe that because I got a right
Speaker 1: to say something. Now, ain't this ain't no more virtual? Yeah,
Speaker 1: this ain't. I ain't got nothing to do. I'm right
Speaker 1: up the street. I'll be up every Tuesday I need
Speaker 1: to be. And I mean, let's see Atlanta. I said it,
Speaker 1: but I still, like I told you, you don't just
Speaker 1: come in the city, you know, popping your ship.
Speaker 3: You need to see what's what and you know, can't
Speaker 3: get caught up like somebody like, hey, come help us
Speaker 3: run against Andre.
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, sis, you're not kidding me calling my ship.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm watching. You know, I'm in the
Speaker 1: observed post. You know what I mean. I don't know
Speaker 1: who one are we telling you? Hey, you ain't telling
Speaker 1: me ship. I'm not getting called it. I'm not making
Speaker 1: an enemy. That's a rule. You guys. You know gotta
Speaker 1: know know the layer of land. You don't just pop
Speaker 1: up a lot of news and pop up and get
Speaker 1: the talk and get your ass ran out of town.
Speaker 1: That ain't how it going in Orlando. She's bad. I
Speaker 1: got there, I know, I know.
Speaker 3: Them city, and I have contributed to the city. Now
Speaker 3: I'm gonna sit back a little bit and just kind
Speaker 3: of wait, you know, you know, just get a good
Speaker 3: little you know, put my.
Speaker 1: Little toe in. But it's definitely like Atlanta. I gotta wait,
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of years, you know, before I
Speaker 1: can just really get down.
Speaker 2: So what so why you why you believe in that?
Speaker 2: Why are you believe and you can't just come to a.
Speaker 1: City and when you put you don't believe in it
Speaker 1: because you believe in crashing out.
Speaker 3: So you, being as king of crash out Caucus, raise
Speaker 3: your hand with all the bright ideas over the job
Speaker 3: the first day of telling me, I got an idea
Speaker 3: of why they're doing this and doing that.
Speaker 1: So you king of crash outs. So this is how
Speaker 1: you don't crash out.
Speaker 2: You don't know, I said, I said, I said, you know, poster,
Speaker 2: but it ain't gonna be too.
Speaker 1: Low you do what? Yeah, I know that's your problem.
Speaker 1: That's why I ain't taking to you. It ain't making
Speaker 1: sense to him, y'all. But myself day five talking about well,
Speaker 1: I noticed y'all did you ain't did it? I never
Speaker 1: get that. I worry.
Speaker 3: My first sales job it was Sabis Baille Mobile, which
Speaker 3: is a T and T now, and I was like,
Speaker 3: Marcella's you know young. I was younger than you, but
Speaker 3: I had my little blue suit on, and you you know,
Speaker 3: I had my little first outside sales job.
Speaker 1: You know. I got to tell from ourselves love story yep.
Speaker 1: One from point a time Marsellers. I had my little
Speaker 1: blue I was small then, so had my little blue
Speaker 1: suit on, probably about an eight or something. And when
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I bought the suit I'll never
Speaker 1: get bought the suit from Partique Sophisticated. I don't think partic.
Speaker 3: Sophisticated still in business, but used to be a story
Speaker 3: called patique sophisticated. And it was the first time that
Speaker 3: I had a real suit, you know. And I was like, wow,
Speaker 3: I'm on outside seal and I'll give you the backstory
Speaker 3: with that just quickly. When I moved to Dallas, I
Speaker 3: didn't have nothing, I didn't had no place to stay.
Speaker 3: I was, you know, going from house to house basically
Speaker 3: in my car. And I was working temporary at Southwestern
Speaker 3: Bell Wireless, you know, answer from the phone, and I
Speaker 3: would see the outside salespeople pull up and these Mercedes
Speaker 3: and all that.
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, I think I can do that. That'd
Speaker 1: be cool to do. You know.
Speaker 3: I've never seen anything like that. And I thought I
Speaker 3: was pretty good. I thought I had a mouthpiece. I
Speaker 3: didn't apply for the job at that particular time. Long
Speaker 3: story short, ended up getting a job at Geico. But
Speaker 3: I always said, wow, they make a lot of money,
Speaker 3: because back then, like when she said she made forty
Speaker 3: thousand a year, prety thousand a year, I was like, wow,
Speaker 3: you know that was a lot for me being twenty one,
Speaker 3: twenty two, you know at that time.
Speaker 1: So I went in.
Speaker 3: And got a job at Geico Insurance and we had
Speaker 3: to sell insurance in fifteen minutes, like when they say
Speaker 3: that fifteen minute quote. And I got somebody on the
Speaker 3: phone that worked in southwardson Belle and he worked outside sales,
Speaker 3: and I was like, wow, that was a job I
Speaker 3: always wanted.
Speaker 1: I always kind of.
Speaker 3: Saying, he was like, you should go apply, give them
Speaker 3: my name and whatever. Just somebody I was selling insurance soup.
Speaker 1: So I did. I got the job.
Speaker 3: They didn't they put me in event outside sales, which
Speaker 3: means you know, well you two young might I remember,
Speaker 3: like back in the day when in Okia fifty one
Speaker 3: twenty came out, we sold phones at you know, concerts, festivals.
Speaker 1: You know, different things like that.
Speaker 3: So back then when the cell phone really got popping,
Speaker 3: we sold them everywhere. It wasn't like going into now
Speaker 3: ordering the phone and all that. It was, you know, we.
Speaker 1: Out there activating them, selling, running people's credit, you know,
Speaker 1: doing all that. So I got the job. I remember
Speaker 1: getting my little Sue had it all going on. I
Speaker 1: thought I was going to impress.
Speaker 3: It was all the outside salespeople in a you know, company,
Speaker 3: little meeting or whatever. And I can't remember what bright
Speaker 3: idea I had, but it was I thought it was
Speaker 3: pretty daln bright.
Speaker 1: You know, it was a birthday. I showed up or
Speaker 1: raised my little black AS's hand and.
Speaker 3: Like odd, I was like, well don't you think we
Speaker 3: should have da da da da da? And I remember
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, that's a great idea. And they kind
Speaker 3: of you know, patronized me whatever. But at the end,
Speaker 3: Thomas Munyols was my supervisor and never forget pulled me
Speaker 3: to the side Dallas really made me like, I'm not
Speaker 3: from Dallas, but that's where my two places made me.
Speaker 1: Dallas in Orlando. Dallas made me in business. Orlando made me.
Speaker 3: I was all ready business mind, but I got my
Speaker 3: business popping in Ortlanta.
Speaker 1: But really that's from my political roof's got developed. But
Speaker 1: Thomas Munyels pulled me to the side.
Speaker 3: He said, you ain't tell to don't don't speak till
Speaker 3: you sell something until.
Speaker 1: You get asked. In the door, you don't have no opinion.
Speaker 1: Pipe it down. Now. See the women the union, they
Speaker 1: say union union, Come get them the union. Sales don't
Speaker 1: work like that. In the door, you shut your ass up.
Speaker 1: We don't want to say about nothing. The quickest way
Speaker 1: for you to get put out.
Speaker 3: So I learned that lesson and I ever since then,
Speaker 3: and I you know now that I'm thinking about it
Speaker 3: in real time. That's a part of not all of
Speaker 3: but a part of, you know, my theory on where
Speaker 3: the receipts.
Speaker 1: You know, listen to all this theory.
Speaker 3: And all this what we need to be and how
Speaker 3: we need Where are the receipts? Can't go in a
Speaker 3: no courtroom without the evidence. Now you can go up
Speaker 3: there and talk to the judge and plead to the
Speaker 3: judge and talk all day long, end of the day.
Speaker 1: Show me the evidence. Where's the evidence? No evidence? Don't
Speaker 1: nobody want to hear it. So I just believe in
Speaker 1: the fundamental principle of evidence.
Speaker 3: And if you have a great idea and none of
Speaker 3: your ideas work, and you can't show me how nothing worked,
Speaker 3: but yet you got all the ideas, I can't listen
Speaker 3: to you. And that's why I'll let each you because
Speaker 3: there's too many. It's full ideas, but not enough receipts.
Speaker 3: Nobody gonna hear, they think, because as long as it
Speaker 3: sound good, you know, Oh it's sound good, So I'm
Speaker 3: gonna follow that.
Speaker 1: Oh that look good. Oh man, wow, he looked good.
Speaker 1: He got the music in the background, it's the music
Speaker 1: real slow and you know, put on inspiration. Okay, but
Speaker 1: show me how are y'all listening to people with financial
Speaker 1: advice without a series six or a series seven or
Speaker 1: any type of financial y'all just listening to anybody. And
Speaker 1: that's where we are. So with that said, like I
Speaker 1: said at the beginning of this podcast, it's gonna all
Speaker 1: make sense in time, guys.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, people gonna have to see in real time. I
Speaker 3: don't wanna talk about Medicaid before we get out of here.
Speaker 3: On July third or fourth, the big beautiful bill guys
Speaker 3: has gutted Medicaid. And I know they gonna tell y'all, al,
Speaker 3: it's only for the able body, all this, for this,
Speaker 3: only for that. Well, we just gonna see in time
Speaker 3: what it looked like. Marcel's bottom line is people are
Speaker 3: gonna be hurting. And if anybody give a damn about
Speaker 3: black people, you should be concerned about this. Even if
Speaker 3: you're not on Medicaid, you should be concerned about this.
Speaker 3: This is a real issue. People with disabilities, elderly, cut children,
Speaker 3: how many children are on Medicaid, all of the programs
Speaker 3: that tie into Medicaid that pay you know, that covers
Speaker 3: things that people just don't have no clue.
Speaker 1: I am really, really, really concerned.
Speaker 3: It's gonna go down to the States to determine who
Speaker 3: gets what.
Speaker 1: So I'm telling people you need to be in line. Now.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna keep stressing that over and over and over,
Speaker 3: keep stressing that over and over and over. Do not
Speaker 3: get caught up on this. Oh, they just saying you
Speaker 3: just need to be able body. That's not how it works.
Speaker 3: We're gonna continue to unpack this. We're gonna continue to
Speaker 3: keep talking about this myselves. This is gonna be something
Speaker 3: I'm very very passionate about. I'm passionate about health care.
Speaker 3: I'm passionate about criminal justice. From those two things that
Speaker 3: are most important to me. So I will be talking
Speaker 3: about this a lot, guys. We don't have to spend
Speaker 3: all day with it, but just know that if you
Speaker 3: rock them with me, I'll be talking about it now.
Speaker 1: If y'all don't give a damn about.
Speaker 3: Mister Earle, just say it. If you all cary about
Speaker 3: miss Earle, just say it. But for those of us
Speaker 3: to give a shit about mister Earl and care about
Speaker 3: supplies that they need, you know, SPUs sing me an
Speaker 3: accidental text today, but he was talking about how he
Speaker 3: didn't get his supplies, and I automatically think about, you know,
Speaker 3: like he needs his supplies every week. This is non
Speaker 3: negotiable medicine and supplies being parallels. Y'all do realize they
Speaker 3: need supplies like to function, to use the restroom, to
Speaker 3: do all that Catholic like, they need supplies. These are
Speaker 3: the things that's coming so if he don't have supplies,
Speaker 3: how's he gonna.
Speaker 1: Use the restroom? Like, seriously, that is that important?
Speaker 3: Marcella's well, if you're not flushing yourself out as a pair,
Speaker 3: And I don't wanna grow somebody out, but I just
Speaker 3: want y'all know how real this is. If you're not
Speaker 3: flushing out your bladder life you're supposed to on time,
Speaker 3: because you don't have enough catheters, you get a u
Speaker 3: UTI infection. We've almost lost Fud a couple times behind
Speaker 3: getting septic behind those infections because they can't tell what's
Speaker 3: going on with their body. Then by the time they
Speaker 3: know the body passing out, you you know, you don't
Speaker 3: know what's going on because the infection literally takes over
Speaker 3: your body. My mom became septic once when she was
Speaker 3: on cancer, you know, when she was on her cancer
Speaker 3: uh treatment. You can have a simple infection and if
Speaker 3: your body can't probably you know, fight it off, you
Speaker 3: become septic. We've had to call uh not on one
Speaker 3: several times on him behind that because you sitting up chilling,
Speaker 3: all of a sudden you passed out because you're so sick,
Speaker 3: you don't even know, you know, like by the time
Speaker 3: he starts to feel issues like in his bag or
Speaker 3: something like that, it's already gone too far.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Right now, you and I have a bladder infection. You
Speaker 3: can feel it. The paralyze can't feel it.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: So it's those kind of things that we're talking about.
Speaker 3: So you think I'm fit to let them shot of
Speaker 3: shame me in the top of my medicaid.
Speaker 1: No, not gonna happen. We got real work to do. Guys.
Speaker 3: I don't know what you always say, the Lord got
Speaker 3: something for me, and maybe this is it. I don't
Speaker 3: know because when it comes in to his healthcare, I'm
Speaker 3: dead asked about this, like we however he want to
Speaker 3: use me to be whatever whatever, because I just can't
Speaker 3: let this one go. I don't know if it's gonna
Speaker 3: be from the policy side, from law school, from the
Speaker 3: ore to side, the podcast ever it is, but I'm
Speaker 3: telling you it is in my soul, in my spirit,
Speaker 3: and I just can't let this one go. So guys,
Speaker 3: make sure y'all pay attention to what is happening. It's
Speaker 3: a lot two point six million people with disabilities. Hospitals
Speaker 3: are going to be closed, Rural hospitals are going to
Speaker 3: be closed. It's a mess. It's a mess. It's a mess.
Speaker 3: So uh and you know this was all about stopping Obamacare.
Speaker 3: When Obamacare, when they won that, they Republican looking for
Speaker 3: a way to you know, pull that back for a minute.
Speaker 3: So this is this is under And I don't give
Speaker 3: a shit if you like Obama or not. And I
Speaker 3: don't care if you like Democrats or not. I'm talking
Speaker 3: about our senior citizens, our elders are most vulnerable in
Speaker 3: our community.
Speaker 1: Really, Americans have free health care like Canada. That's all
Speaker 1: all of this.
Speaker 3: So if you if you're putting your issues with the
Speaker 3: Democrat Party over this over mister Earl and miss Betty
Speaker 3: and all of it, we ain't the same because you
Speaker 3: can't set aside your own person or whatever it is.
