So two weeks two to 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:55.880 five Eastern time, and we're going to cover building coalitions 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.480 in traditional and non traditional. 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:03.200 Coalitions. 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.280 What it's many is it's kind of what you see 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:10.600 Marcello's with happening with the NYC mayor, you know, the socialists, 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.080 and how he was able to go get these other 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.640 groups and galvanize it. And I love a good shakeup. 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.040 I'm be quite honest with you. I love a good shakeup, 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.560 whether you are socialist or not. I love it when 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.200 people think that everything's going fine and the system is 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.560 going and somebody come in and say, oh, you know what, 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:26.920 we're gonna do something different. Saw a lot of articles 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.960 on that today saying that it's a good message or 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:31.520 you know, it's a good thing to shake things up. 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:32.640 But he's the wrong messenger. 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.400 Well, if you don't like it, a Democrat party, get 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:36.880 out there and do something better, because it looks like 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:40.000 people are aligning themselves with his message, which is people 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:41.120 are sick of struggling. 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:41.760 Period. 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.400 Call it socialists, call ever you wanna call it. People 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:50.119 are tired of struggling. Marcellus And I look at these 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:54.440 rich folks who do well, these content creators and they 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.440 say things like, you know, get you and shout out 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:56.960 to Rege smile. 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:58.080 I know he mean anything by it. 0:04:58.120 --> 0:04:59.920 But when I heard Miss Morning saying, you know, try 0:04:59.920 --> 0:05:02.400 to get you a dual citizenship. Can't nobody get no 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.960 due where who getting a dual citizenship? You don't have three, 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.240 four or five hundred thousand dollars to go. I want 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.800 people to really know, like what that means, you know, 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.080 one to go through the process get the dual citizenship, 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.839 then to go to Africa. What jobs are you thinking's 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.120 gonna be available to you? The only jobs that are 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.000 available are service jobs. Now, if you got money and 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.039 you can go over there and pay some roads and 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:28.240 you know, get into engineering, construction, all of that you 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:31.160 can do. Well, if you have money that you can 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.920 go do something work for over there and be virtual, 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:35.960 you know, making your money from anywhere. We got a 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:39.400 friend ins of the turn that does her depositions online, 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.880 do everything online. She flies back to the States when 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.360 she got to go to court, and she's doing just fine. 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:46.680 But for the average person that needs to go get 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.400 a job, you know at the local store or supermarket 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.120 or whatever, that ain't happening over there. Marcella's those countries 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.560 are still very much under development. So when people saying 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:56.599 I'm just mold to Ghana and I'm just gonna don't 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.440 get twisted and confused on the tourists side of Ghana 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:01.320 versus is where your ass gonna. 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.360 Be living it? And if people there talk about it, 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.400 don't even own their own their homes, don't even own 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.839 the generator. Here in America, in the Land of the 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.680 Free and the Home of the brave, Allegedly R W 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.840 went over here, So what makes you think you just 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:14.520 go over there? 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.000 I don't know if that's what people need to coach, 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.280 just to tell themselves the reality it is. 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.919 Marcellus. We are here in America and we're gonna have 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:26.000 to figure it out here in America. That's it. We're 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.400 all gonna have to do our part to figure it out. 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:30.240 Shut out to the I don't know if you saw it, 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.200 but shut out to the Philadelphia. 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.279 You've been seeing the waste of sanitizers that said the 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.640 sanitation workers and say, y'all get somebody else to do it. No, 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.400 you love it. They got trash for days. They said, 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.479 you don't hey, meet us, I pay raise. Hold this 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:48.080 trash because we're gonna hold the line. 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:53.520 M That is how you forced let's just use that analogy. 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.840 That is how you force people to be involved. If 0:06:57.880 --> 0:06:59.800 you got to come outside. Now, what the unfortunate part 0:06:59.880 --> 0:07:02.919 is if you walk outside your outside your door, and 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.919 you visualize all the things you can get involved with 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.719 in the local level. You got trash all over your house, 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.840 all in your yard, all up the street, all around 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.440 the corner. But you're so busy talking about what they 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.560 doing that you ain't looking at the trash in your 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.760 own front yard. So people should really visualize what that 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.280 looks like. Look at Philly, all of that trash. Now, 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.200 people are getting pissed off. They tell the mayor, Hey, 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:25.280 you need to do something bout this, you need to 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:26.960 get in racked. Well, when they ask for the rage, 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.320 y'all don't want to hear it. Yep, So don't worry aboudy. 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:31.560 Y'all can take y'all trash out. 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.320 Y'all don't respect us, go pick it up and go 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:41.360 take it uh to the to the dump field, because 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:42.720 you can't take it up the street to the other 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:44.920 trash being because guess what, they ain't picking that up either. 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:47.360 So I'm loving it. 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.560 This is the type of people power that yeah, where 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:54.040 people can assaulted, said Marcella's love this. This is take 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:58.680 the power that makes a difference and how you can 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:03.400 make a difference. But tween you know the government saying no, 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:05.960 we're gonna do something different, and then them aside, no, 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.720 we're gonna go ahead and hold the line, right, sanitation workers, 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.080 that's probably the best thing you can do because getting 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:13.960 them to walk off, everybody gonna feel it. 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:15.400 Everybody. 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.680 Everybody won't. You're gonna smell it. All of that. You 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.840 gonna see every time you walk outside this door. You're 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:21.880 gonna know, yeah, we see it. 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.680 People looking down on them, but you see, but those 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.040 are the people that you really need. 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:33.800 Those the ones you need. That's right. 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.880 Shout up to my uncle Daniel Reist in peace twenty 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:39.199 five years. He's a sanitation worker, took care of his family, 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.360 left his wife doing well, owned everything he had, took 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:43.200 care of his family. 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:44.880 So you look down him if you want to. 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.120 At the end of the day, yeah, you're gonna respect them, 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:51.080 or you can just go take their trash ash yourself. 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:51.800 I love it. 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.440 I love also that, uh don't call me white girl 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.520 podcast mowner.

And that's what 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:47.000 take classes about. How do you build your non traditional coalitions. 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:51.480 The traditional coalitions are fine, church, you know, organizations you're 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:53.880 a part of, friends, family, whatever, But then it's the 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:59.120 non traditional coalitions that really make the difference.

Give me a couple that you've identified 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.120 as your tribe. Because as if anybody that's been following 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:21.640 the class had a conversation yesterday on the dashboard, everybody 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.400 got to access lifetime access to the dashboard, and I'm 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.760 going to always point back to what you need to do. 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.080 So my coalitions may be different than yours. 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.120 So what is one that you that you think, even 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.880 if you've never organized it or do anything besides the union, 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:38.479 that's your traditional ones, your union and your church, your organizations, 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:39.320 that's easy. 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:40.839 What is it have you thought about? 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.480 What is a non traditional coalition that you think, hey, 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.160 that might be an interesting group to try to organize. 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:50.280 That's how we know you ain't dead. 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:54.920 The sheet I did look at see I don't know. 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:56.360 I don't remember what I put though. 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:01.320 But just what's top of mind we were working in nowuse. 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.840 I mean, you know, because if you say that's a 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:07.360 traditional one, but you know, I'm always gonna be union, union, 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:08.959 that's gonna always come to mind first. 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:13.240 Okay, So what I want to encourage you to do is, okay, 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.560 union union, Union, that's your traditional So what I would say, 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:20.880 is we want to expand that because the union, you know, 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.720 they pretty much make make decisions as a collective group. 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:27.400 You want to expand that and see what type of 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.200 I would say subgroups. It's not you know, that's the word, 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:32.520 kind of like you got a topic and then you 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.920 got subtopics. What kind of groups can even be formed 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.920 within the union. So, for example, if you are part 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:42.640 of I'm just making it up Union thirty three, within 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.560 that group, there might be several coalitions that you can 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:46.559 create on your own. 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:48.360 The black the black. 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.360 People, you know side of it. Maybe it's the people 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.880 who all wear purple shirts. Maybe it's the ones that 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.760 all live on the east side, all live on the 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.800 west side. I want you to still be and look 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:03.080 for how to even take the traditional groups and even 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:08.240 create coalitions inside of that. Does that make sense? So 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:12.200 let's use the church for an example. The church, old 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.559 school church, my new school church, old school church. Everybody's 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.040 a member of paradise about the church, let me ask 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:22.360 you what groups could I organize within the church. Do 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.959 I just say this is just the church? Or what 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.880 groups can I organize within the church? Give me a couple. 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:35.760 Examples within the church. M hm oh oh, that's a 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:36.360 good one. 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:42.760 So long now, that's that's what the rhythm. More to 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:48.079 the story is, man say, don't know nothing about church structure, y'all, 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.600 but just when you grew up, let's just think about it. 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.280 Push through the think about it. There's a church. What 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:54.360 groups are in the church? 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.320 What the deacons the. 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.160 Right, Yeah, try to push through it. The deacons, that's 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:05.280 a group, the ushers, maybe the faith based ministry, the 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.559 youth choir. My point is the. 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.040 Church can have three hundred members, but within that three 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:14.520 hundred members, there are also many groups that have commonalities. 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:18.440 You know, something that they you know, the youth choir. 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.600 The youth choir is going to be ten to eighteen. 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.200 They have a different if we use and remind me, 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:25.680 I got to make sure I use this in the class. 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:26.440 This is good stuff. 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:28.760 But if you just take a church, so you got 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.080 your traditional hocking, we make those subgroups and then we 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.400 have some non traditional stuff that we'll talk about as well. 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:37.320 But I also want people to break down those traditional groups. 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.120 So if I were to have a church and I 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.920 say let's go organize a church, don't you think that 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:46.680 the youth choir would have different goals, different agendas, different 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:51.240 things that they want to see compared to the woman's ministry. 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.080 Correct, Okay, So. 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:58.800 In politics, if I'm creating policy and I'm creating, you know, 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:00.600 something for one group, which is that's why we have 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.360 a lot of the problems, by the way, on the 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:04.920 federal level, because the average person in Congress is seventy 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.480 eighty years old. So they're not taking into account with 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.360 fifty year olds, forty year olds, thirty year olds. 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.520 Twenty year old you know what, They're not bringing that 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:12.440 voice to the table. 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:15.160 So when you have age gender, and it may not 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:16.960 even be just age a gender, it may just be 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:20.480 different ideologies, different thoughts, different The women ministry could be 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:24.040 eighteen to seventy, but women have a different agenda than 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:27.600 the men's ministry. So although everybody is a member of 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:31.080 the church, you still want to take those opportunities to 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.480 galvanize within those groups. And a lot of people go 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.480 missing with that. They just think, let me just get 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.640 the church on board. And that church on board may 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.720 be everybody over forty, but you forgot to tap into 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.160 the young people in that church to give them a reason, 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.880 you know, besides your souls to the polls. To give 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:49.920 them a reason to talk their language. That's why you 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:51.880 have a youth pastor. You know a lot of the 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.640 larger churches have to have youth pastors. Now they don't 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.040 have the youth going to listen to the senior pastor 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:00.920 because they ain't lived enough to but here to understand 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:01.400 what he's saying. 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:02.360 You follow what I'm saying. 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:06.800 So coalition building is about finding and they don't always 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:08.560 have to be aligned with you. You know, I talk 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.560 about that with you all the time. You can still 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.280 organize people that have a different opinion of you. They 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.720 have a different thought than you, matter of fact, that's 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.200 who you should be organized. Those are the people at 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:19.640 the table. 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.600 Everybody at the union believes we need a union to 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.320 be our voice, but everybody don't think the same. That's 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.720 why it's the union. And we get that. 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.040 Black people really get that wrong because we think unity 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:32.080 means thinking the same. 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:32.440 No. 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:36.600 Unity means we're all coming together. Sometimes we agree, sometimes 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:41.000 we don't. Our union is the ability to come together 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:44.720 to do the work, if that makes sense. Not we 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:49.560 need to unify everybody. No family all agrees what you 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:54.280 want tonight, pizza, hamburgers, Chinese. There's always going to be 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.120 a give and take, even in a family three or four, 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.640 in a relationship with two people a give and take. 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:02.840 So make sure you guys come to the class. That's 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:04.119 the type of training that you get. 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.399 Guys. You gotta figure out how to organize on the 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:16.320 local level. Leaders are not gonna come do it. 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:20.760 Everybody's talking about the you know, the national, national, national. 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.400 You gotta spend some time, you know, talking about the local. 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.119 I was looking at a post today that I just 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:28.120 shared where they was talking about how crime went down 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:31.359 by two black mayors, one in Birmingham and then also 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.720 on Baltimore, and people saying, old the news ain't talking 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:35.720 about it right, because all y'all like talk about is national. 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.040 Y'all't like talking about local. 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.800 Local is the most important thing that will affect your 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:43.719 life as far as jobs, housing, transportation, school, all of that. Guys, 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.919 we have to get on board on the local and 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:53.240 state level. I am basically telling you shelter, bunker down, find. 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.199 What you need to board your windows up, to do 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:59.119 to whatever materials you need, the water, all of that. 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:02.119 That is what local government is to you find what 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.320 you need to survive the federal storm. 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:07.080 So you're gonna keep paaring this for me over and 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.000 over and over. And it's not just coming from no 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:12.800 podcast talk. I'm giving you the steps one, two, three, four, five. 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:14.240 This is how you do it. So I hope to 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.320 see y'all in the class. Use the pupon cold. Let's 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:18.560 go to take ten dollars off. 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:22.280 Yeah, question, I'm gonna ask you, Yeah, in your opinion 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.879 or facts or however you want to put why you 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:30.760 think people are not attracted to the local like how 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:32.959 they are with the. 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:38.520 National Why are they not attracted to it as Yeah, Well, 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.119 it's not saying it's not the masses are not talking 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:43.639 about it. So if I have a radio show like 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:45.840 the Breakfast Club that's talking to you, you s to 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:46.920 help me to the front page news. 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:47.520 If I'm talking to. 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.520 Eight million people who's driving in the car, I'm gonna 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:53.400 talk about things that are nationalized, even though it's still 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.360 talking about an individual city, you know, obviously because something 0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:58.639 has happened in the city or the state. But anytime 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:01.400 you're talking about the media, especial national media, they're talking 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.840 to a national audience. And that's what happened with these 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.200 congress people, and they start talking to a national audience 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:09.080 like jazz and Crockett was talking to a national audience, 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:12.280 going around raising six million dollars for the Democrats, doing this, 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.119 doing that, and then after they said that's okay, we 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:16.480 don't want to put you on the leadership and it's like, okay, well, 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:20.520 I'll just go focus on dubtas. So national is more attractive. 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:24.240 It's provocative. It's what gets the people going. Trump is 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.560 constant entertainment, you know, It's just it's what gets. 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:29.280 All the hype. Local is boring. 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:32.040 Now in your local city, it can get down like 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.160
