Speaker 6: good though. Thank y'all, Thank you very much.

59
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 5: So this is gonna be a fir. First of all,

60
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 5: you see this room. You've performed in front of thousands

61
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 5: of people before. But you've seen arenas pack for sports.

62
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 5: You've seen arenas pack for comedy shows. You've seen arenas

63
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 5: packed to see celebrities talk about that movie. Have you

64
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 5: ever seen something like this for financial litters?

65
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 6: Well, I'm gonna be honest with you. I didn't know.

66
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 3: That we would ever get to this. You know, I

67
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,119
Speaker 3: had hoped. You know, we'll pay a lot of money

68
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 3: for entertainment. We will pay top dollar to see our

69
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 3: favorite artists. But when it comes to invest it in yourself.

70
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 3: Back in the day, it just didn't happen like this.

71
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 3: This is an amazing thing to see twelve thousand people,

72
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 3: you know, who are trying to invest in themselves. And

73
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: the other impressive thing about it is so many young people.

74
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 6: You know, it's a lot of young people.

75
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: In here, man, And that's that's a great testament answer

76
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 3: where we're headed as a people. And what you two

77
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 3: brothers have accomplished in a very very short period of time.

78
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 3: You feel the void that was so needed, that was

79
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: such a thirst for what you had, because young people

80
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 3: need information. They need information, man, and that's what you

81
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 3: all have managed to do.

82
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:22,920

00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 5: So I want to start this conversation off with the

98
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 5: power of partnerships, the power of collaboration, and what better

99
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 5: way to start it than us, And first and foremost,

100
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 5: I want to thank you because when we met you,

101
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 5: it was a crazy connection that we had right away.

102
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 5: We spent two hours talking before the podcast, two and

103
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 5: a half hours during the podcast, an hour after the podcast,

104
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 5: so we spent like the whole day with him. And

105
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 5: at the end he was like, you know, I really

106
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 5: like you guys a lot, and we're gonna make a

107
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 5: lot of money together. And you know, I told Troy

108
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 5: that our lives would never be the same after that,

109
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 5: and I just had that feeling. And it only took

110
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 5: a couple of months for you to honor your word

111
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 5: and to actually work with us. And this is the

112
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 5: first joint venture, hopefully of many more to come that

113
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 5: we've done. So I tell that story because it's important

114
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 5: to the power of collaboration, the power of seeing value

115
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 5: in something, the power and partnerships and the power of

116
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 5: understanding of working together. That's something that we have to

117
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 5: do more on every level, on a high level, on

118
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 5: a small level. Wherever you're at, You're only going to

119
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 5: go so far by yourself. So let me ask you this,

120
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 5: what made you want to work with us? What made you?

121
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 5: What did you see in us? And why did you

122
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 5: think that the you know, the value of collaborative efforts

123
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 5: are important.

124
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 3: Well, First of all, this generation of young people probably

125
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: our brightest collection of minds to come along since I've

126
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 3: been alive. Now I'm older than most people in here.

127
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: You know, I'm sixty five, so I know, I know

128
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 3: it's I know you can't believe it because the pimp

129
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: just drips all the time. But you young people are

130
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 3: the brightest generation to come along in my lifetime. If

131
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 3: I don't invest in you, if I don't see you

132
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 3: too and be able to see something in you and invest,

133
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 3: I'm doing a discredit to the future of us, especially

134
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 3: people of color. It is important, man, that we take

135
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 3: the time out to recognize the young people who are

136
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 3: gifted and willing to put into work.

137
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 6: But then there's a I gotta give credit to YouTube too.

138
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 3: Because as smart as you are, as this younger generation,

139
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 3: please don't discredit old people because old people have something. Man,

140
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: old people paid to get to a spot that you're

141
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 3: trying to get to.

142
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 6: See.

143
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 3: You gotta remember something about old. Old is the gold.

144
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 3: So why are you sitting up there and yo, and

145
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 3: the people may not be as tech savvy as you,

146
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 3: they still have something to bring to the table. And

147
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 3: I think they're joining together with young forces and then

148
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: putting the old head in the mix. I mean, look,

149
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 3: this is not just causing me. You know, this is

150
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 3: a collective effort of you and your team. But last

151
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 3: year was thirty five hundred people. This year you got

152
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 3: twelve thousand.

153
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 6: You understand them numbers, man, Yeah, I think.

154
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously you're a generational talent. I knew you

155
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 2: from doing the Apollo. My son knows you, and my

156
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 2: daughter knows you from watching a family feud, and so

157
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: you've had trials and stipulations, but you've had success. When

158
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: we look at this, obviously we had forty five hundred

159
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 2: people last year, we got twelve thousand this year. People

160
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: would see this like, obviously this is successful from your viewpoint,

161
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: from your illusturious career. What's the key to success though?

162
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: How do we get it? How do we maintain it?

163
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: How we sustain it? Well, here's what happens.

164
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 3: Because of Instagram now and social media. You see these

165
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 3: highlight reels of each other, and you see a person

166
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 3: showing their best bag, they best shoe, they best polls,

167
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 3: and it's usually on the best filter. What I wish

168
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: the younger generation would pick up is the work ethic

169
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 3: that actually has to happen. See, the key to being

170
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 3: successful is planting. You've got to plant now. When you

171
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 3: plant seeds, young people, you can't expect the harvest in

172
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 3: thirty days. The harvest don't come in thirty days. You

173
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 3: got to plant your seed and sometimes the harvest don't

174
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 3: come for years. Everything is not instant. So here's what

175
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: I do. I get a roll and I drop seeds

176
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 3: in the ground. Then I go back and I cover

177
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: them up with dirt, because the dirt you need the dirt.

178
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 3: Then once I cover it up, I dig another row

179
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 3: and I plant some more seeds. I got about ten

180
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: rows planting. I look back at the first row and

181
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 3: it's starting to sprout. Some stuff starting to come out

182
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 3: the ground. I don't go back to that first rope

183
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 3: and just start eating because it ain't.

184
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 6: Really bearing no fruit right now.

185
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 3: You can't eat the stalks and the leaves. You gotta

186
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 3: wait till it bear fruit. In the meantime, you got

187
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 3: to keep planting. Now you're gonna look up in about

188
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 3: five years. You gonna look back in something you plant

189
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: it five years ago, gonna have a lot of fruit

190
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 3: on it. Then you can go back and start partaking

191
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 3: up that fruit. But the reason you gotta keep planting

192
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: is because sometimes you're gonna get rained out.

193
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 6: Sometimes it's gonna be a drought.

194
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 3: Sometimes, man, the pesticides slash haters is gonna do what

195
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: they do to your planet crops. Now you got to

196
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 3: mentally be prepared for that. But the planting process can

197
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: never stop. If I could tell anybody anything, keep planting

198
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: seeds and never stop planning because you have no idea

199
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 3: when God gonna drop all the necessary rain.

200
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 6: That you look up and everything you need is right there.

201
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 5: So let me ask you this, because I feel like

202
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 5: there's a lesson in every story, and there's something that

203
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 5: you can take from every story and learn from every story.

204
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 5: And sometimes what we think is reality isn't reality. And

205
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 5: it's important for people to know the truth. And it's

206
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 5: important for people to learn from other people's experiences because

207
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 5: they could potentially happen to you. Years ago, we had

208
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 5: a former president, Donald Trump, and it was very controversial

209
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 5: when you took a picture with him, and you got

210
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 5: a lot of backlash, a lot of hate, all kinds

211
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 5: of negative energy. But when we met you, you explained

212
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 5: to us the story. And when you explained to us

213
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 5: the story, it was so crazy because it just goes

214
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 5: to show you how something can be changed and the

215
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 5: narrative can be painted, and people just run with half

216
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 5: of what they see and they don't even understand it.

217
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 5: Can you explain that infamous moment?

218
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, if I listened to my wife,

219
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 3: it wouldn't have been no infamous moment.

220
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 2: First lesson, that's the first lesson number one.

221
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 6: But here's what happened. Before he got sworn in.

222
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 3: He had a point at being Carson to the head

223
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 3: of hood, and hood is housing and urban development. It's

224
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 3: the only black on the cabinet. So I said, let

225
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 3: me go up there and meet Ben Carson. So when

226
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 3: I got to Trump Towers, I went in, sat down

227
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 3: to meet with him, and he said, why are you here.

228
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 6: I said, I want.

229
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 3: To meet Ben Carson because I have an idea. He

230
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 3: got Ben Carson on the farm being Ben Carson talked

231
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 3: right away. I told him the idea I had. I

232
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 3: wanted to take some of these schools that they had

233
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 3: destroyed and shut down in black neighborhoods, and I wanted

234
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 3: to take them and turn them into what I call

235
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 3: vision centers, where we would create financial literacy after school programs,

236
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: you know, and get these young cats off the streets

237
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 3: so they have something to do, and then give the

238
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: parents some financial literacy. He fell in love with the idea.

239
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: I leave the building. I'm on the elevator. Donald Trump said,

240
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 3: I'll ride down with you. I said, I beat damn.

241
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 3: So he gets on the elevator. He riding down with him. Now,

242
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 3: before I got on elevator, I told the reporters I'll

243
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 3: be back over and tell you why I'm here. I

244
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 3: walk up to the reporters. He walks in front of me.

245
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 3: He the president to be right, So he walks in.

246
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 6: Front of me. Now I'm standing there.

247
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 3: First word out his mouth was we gonna repeal and replace. Obamacare.

248
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: I didn't say shit about that. I didn't mention none

249
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 3: of that. Again, Oh what you're talking about, man? You

250
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. I'm sitting here going I'll beat

251
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 3: damn and all I heard was my wife going, don't.

252
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 6: Go up there yet.

253
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 3: So when he left, I stood up and told the

254
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 3: reporters what the deal was.

255
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 6: By the time I got to my car, because this.

256
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: Happened on my sixtieth birthday, was that weekend, my wife

257
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 3: had a nice trip for me. All I had to

258
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 3: do was go get on that damn boat, like she said,

259
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 3: That's all my ass had to do. But oh knew

260
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go up here for black people before I

261
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 3: got in the car. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't

262
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 3: believe it.

263
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 5: Man.

264
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 3: I was a coon, I was a jigaboo, I was

265
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 3: a spook. I was an Uncle Tom. And that shit

266
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 3: hurt me to the core because all I do when

267
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 3: I wake up is walk out the door as a

268
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 3: black man, to represent the black culture, to be something

269
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 3: that some young person can look at and go, yeah,

270
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 3: I do it that way. My whole hustling grind has

271
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 3: been for black people, and so it kind of hurt me, man,

272
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 3: and so.

273
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 6: His fast forward.

274
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 3: Turns out the Vision Centers was the only initiative Ben

275
00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 3: Carson had his entire run. They changed the name of

276
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 3: it from Vision Centers to Vision Centers. You can go

277
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 3: online look them up. They opened up three of them.

278
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 3: All the ideas I had given them they enabled it.

279
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 3: Then they asked me to come take a picture with

280
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 3: being Carson in front of the schools, and I said nah,

281
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 3: because y'all had ate my ass up so bad before,

282
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 3: y'all ain't getting no more pictures of me.

283
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 6: My family got attacked and all this here.

284
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 3: But that was a hurtful moment for me because I

285
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 3: went up there to get housing and benefit for black

286
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 3: people and then they turned on me like that, you know,

287
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 3: But I always know how to hang in there.

288
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 6: You know.

289
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 3: It's kind of like, I know, it's a lot of

290
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 3: hip hopcasts in here, but old school music still registers

291
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 3: very deep.

292
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 6: In my soul. I'm an R and B guy.

293
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 3: So there's a song that Temptations had out, and I

294
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 3: had to sing it to myself. I know you won't

295
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: to leave me, but I refuse to let you go

296
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 3: if I have to beg and plead for your sympathy.

297
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 3: I don't mind, because you mean that much to me.

298
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 3: So I just hung in there with black people. I

299
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 3: just stayed in there with y'all, say asked, because I

300
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: knew eventually y'all was gonna have to get all right.

301
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 6: Well, some of y'all didn't. It's cool, though, But.

302
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 5: I want to ask you about that because when you

303
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 5: reach levels of success, especially now, you're going to get

304
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 5: some level of hate online. You're gonna get some level

305
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 5: of hate on YouTube, You're gonna get critics, and it

306
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 5: has it has an effect on your on your psyche.

307
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 5: So how would you how would you coach people through?

308
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 5: What advice would you give to the young people that

309
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 5: haven't experienced that yet. But they might be in sports,

310
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 5: they might be in music, they might be entrepreneurs, they

311
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 5: might be online. At some point when that comes, what

312
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 5: do you do to just keep going.

313
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 3: It's interesting because I was talking the Walk of Flock

314
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 3: backstage and he came up to me and said, hey, man,

315
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 3: you don't know what you mean to me. I've never

316
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 3: met the brother before, and he was saying, you don't

317
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 3: know what you mean to me.

318
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 6: He said, Man, I follow you. I listened to you. Man.

319
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 3: He said, man, you changed from just a comedian to

320
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 3: a real man, and you made me start looking at

321
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 3: some things I want to do.

322
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 6: And then we shook hands.

323
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 3: He was fitting to walk away, and he turned around

324
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 3: and he said, you know what else I like about you? Man?

325
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 3: You ain't vengeful. You're not vengeful. And that kind of

326
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 3: stuck with me, so I said, how you mean? He said, man,

327
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 3: you could come back at so many people, but I'll

328
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 3: never see you going out to attack people because I

329
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 3: learned a long time ago from a minister. He said,

330
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 3: stay on the wall. When they throwing rocks at you,

331
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,479
Speaker 3: stay on the wall. If you come down off the

332
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 3: wall to address haters and small people, see they our

333
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 3: level with you.

334
00:19:58,960 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 6: Now.

335
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 3: Now they can throw the rocks and they hurt, But

336
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 3: if you just stay on the wall, what can they do.

337
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 3: And you gotta understand some young people about haters. Haters

338
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 3: are not decision makers, power brokers, or shakers and movers.

339
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 3: They have no determining factor on your life, where you

340
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 3: headed or what God planned for you. Stop giving haters power.

341
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 6: Stop it.

342
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 3: Don't even talk to they ass I don't give it. Look, man,

343
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 3: I'm sixty five. I don't give a damn what you

344
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 3: say about me, You ain't. You're not stopping nothing. Look

345
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 3: what God has for you, It is yours. All God's

346
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 3: plans for you, his purpose. If you just open up

347
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 3: yourself to it, he gonna make all of them come true.

348
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: But if you stop and keep addressing haters, you will

349
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 3: never be open to your purpose and your mission in life.

350
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 3: So my directive is to stay on the wall when

351
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 3: they attack.

352
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 6: Me for whatever.

353
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 3: I stay on the wall because they do it all

354
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 3: the time, man, especially people.

355
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 6: I thought I was cool with other celebrities.

356
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,479
Speaker 3: You know, they got little stuff to say, But then

357
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 3: I look at their career.

358
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 6: And they have time to say little stuff. They have time.

359
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 3: See me, let me tell you something, man. People is busy.

360
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 3: They ain't got time. Denzel ain't got time talk about me,

361
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 3: Matgic Johnson ain't got time talking about Tyler Perry. Ain't

362
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 3: got time talk about me because they building their empire.

363
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 6: Man. Let me tell you something, man.

364
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 3: One time I was fit to respond to something on

365
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 3: the blog, Tyler Perry called me and said, hey, man,

370
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 3: to me, Steve. When they talk about you, it's a blog.

371
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 3: If you open your mouth, it's a press. Confidence.

372
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:01,800

Speaker 6: Get up on the wall and stay there. That's powerful.

Speaker 6: I really am. I've been on TV a long time.

410
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 6: I'm going how to read.

411
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 3: Matter of fact, I read very well, and better than reading,

412
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 3: I listened extremely well. The teleprompter said, and the new

413
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 3: two thy fifteen Miss.

414
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 6: Universe is now.

415
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 3: I got an IFB in my ear, I got two

416
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 3: names on the car I got a third name. The

417
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 3: lady used to work for the pageant when Donald Trump

418
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 3: owned it, decided she didn't want to do it like that.

419
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 6: That night, she.

420
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 3: Put the third name on the corner of the car well.

421
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 3: They handed me the card. My thumb covered a third name,

422
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 3: but which is irrelevant anyway, because the teleprompter said, and

423
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 3: the new twenty and fifteen Miss Universe is the IBF

424
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 3: director said, read the second name on the card.

425
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 6: Steve.

426
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 7: Okay, fuck miss Columbia, Miss Columbia, great job, Steve, going

427
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 7: the back.

428
00:24:58,480 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 6: I go in the back.

429
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 3: I'm in the back for two minutes. My boy that

430
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 3: worked for me stage managine. He said, Yo, dog, you

431
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 3: said the wrong name. I said, I ain't said shit wrong. Fuck,

432
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 3: I say the wrong name.

433
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 6: Fuck.

434
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 3: I read the name on the card, and I did

435
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 3: what the director told me to do, he said, Man.

436
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 3: So I got up and I started walking back out front.

437
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 3: The director said, what are you doing? I said, I'm

438
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 3: gonna go out here and give it to the right one.

439
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 3: He said, don't worry about it with straighten it out

440
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 3: tomorrow in the paper.

441
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 6: Well that's that ain't right.

442
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 3: So I took my dumb ass out there and said

443
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 3: I made a mistake when in actuality, the lady that

444
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 3: printed the card should have never put a third name

445
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 3: on the card because that's not how we rehearsed it.

446
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 3: And the teleprompter should have never said what he said,

447
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 3: and the director should have.

448
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 6: Never told me what he told me. But I took

449
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 6: the whole bullet.

450
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 3: Now, behind every moment of adversity in your life is

451
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 3: two things. Behind that, there is a lesson and there

452
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 3: is a blessing. You got to wait to get both

453
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 3: of those. But if you let the moment of adversity

454
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 3: define you and destroy you and make you crumble, you

455
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 3: never are available for the lesson or the blessing. So

456
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 3: the next week, I've been in the house for a

457
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: week and my wife will tell you we have twenty

458
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 3: four hour armed girl guards at our house year round,

459
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 3: every since twenty fifteen, because them Colombian's man, oh they

460
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 3: was coming for me? They asked, was serious? The death

461
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 3: threats was real? Them damn Colombians. Man shit, I quit

462
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 3: drinking Colombian coffee.

463
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 6: He had my ass concerned.

464
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 3: So even to this day, we're in twenty twenty two,

465
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 3: I still have full time armed security around my homes

466
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 3: because they threatened my family.

467
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 6: Now you can't threaten my family. Dog. You could threaten me,

468
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 6: but you can't come for them.

469
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 3: I'm not that dude. I try to be a Christian,

470
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 3: but I just I ain't there yet. I'm an entry

471
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 3: level Christian. I don't really know how to do advance Christianity.

472
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm ever gonna be good at advanced

473
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 3: Christianity because if you slap me, I'm not turning the

474
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 3: other cheek. I just need to let your asks know

475
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 3: that now. And if you cuss me, I'm finna cuss you.

476
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 3: That's how this is working. But you need Christians like me.

477
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 3: You know that ain't all the way in. You need

478
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 3: a Christian that are backhand your ass, that are you know,

479
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 3: bust your time, So.

480
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 6: I would.

481
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 3: I wouldn't address it until I was able to have

482
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 3: Miss Columbia come on my talk show, and that was

483
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 3: the only time I dressed it, and she couldn't come

484
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 3: until February, but then the Super Bowl came about.

485
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 6: Now let me give you one another story.

486
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 3: After I made the announcement the wrong name, I had

487
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 3: been praying to God to increase my global brand in

488
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 3: persona right. I wanted God to make me more globally famous,

489
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 3: because I saw myself becoming a global business man after

490
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 3: the Miss Universe fiasco. Within forty eight hours, my name

491
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 3: had been googled four billion times. I was the most

492
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 3: google subject in the world for forty eight hours. God

493
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 3: had increased my global brand and persona, and I showed

494
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 3: it and appreciate the way he did it either. I

495
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: thought that was pretty funky. Lord just thought I'd say that.

496
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 3: Didn't really appreciate that. But after that we started getting

497
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 3: letters from other countries inviting me and my wife to

498
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 3: vacation homes. They gave us thirteen villas all around the world.

499
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 6: We can come vacation anytime. We won't.

500
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 3: And then T Mobile came along and said we'd like

501
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 3: to take your mistake and turn it into good And

502
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 3: I said how so they said, we want you to

503
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 3: do a T Mobile commercial. I said, well, that's interesting.

504
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 3: How much does that pay? So I did the T

505
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 3: Mobile commercial. I don't give a damn if we do

506
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 3: a whole reenactment of that night.

507
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 6: The money they paid me so young people.

508
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 3: The lesson I learned from that was, even in some

509
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 3: of your darkest moments, when you make mistakes, you have

510
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 3: got to stick around for the two things that the

511
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 3: mistake is made for, every failure is made for, every

512
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 3: misstep is made for. It is made for a lesson

513
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 3: and a blessing. Them two things follow every single one

514
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 3: of them. Every single time. God don't send down rain

515
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 3: without a return. When he send down rain, flowers grow,

516
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 3: trees get bigger. You got to understand what the rain

517
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 3: and the dirt is for. People get so angry when

518
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 3: people start throwing dirt on you, Man, quit tripping.

519
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 6: Dirt is fertilizer.

520
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 3: If you ever want to be something, you're gonna have

521
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 3: to get some dirt on you. Because that dirt that

522
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 3: smothers you, it teaches you how to push through. You

523
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 3: ain't finna have no smooth life. You can get that

524
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 3: out your mind. It ain't fit to be rosy for you.

525
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 3: By defendity, just come up to you hand.

526
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 6: You know damn money. By here you feel like being

527
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 6: a millionaire. Here.

528
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 3: You got to strike out to be successful. And when

529
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 3: you strike out, you got to get ready for it

530
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 3: to get real funky and real hard, because that's what's

531
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 3: gonna happen.

532
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 6: That's why it ain't for everybody.

533
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 3: But that's why all these people sitting in here are

534
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 3: so valuable. You've invested in learning some traits and I look,

535
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 3: I could tell you a lot of stuff, but there's

536
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 3: nothing more important than to mental. To master the mental

537
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 3: aspect of success. I don't give a damn what degree

538
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 3: you got. Degrees don't make money. People make money.

539
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 6: Degree.

540
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 3: Look Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg ain't got a degree

541
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: between the two of them, but they got more degrees

542
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 3: working for him. You saw that little dude came out

543
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 3: here thirty years old. He graduated magnum kun Lottie at mohow.

544
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 3: I ain't graduated from nothing. He had a full point Oh,

545
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 3: he said, miss Harvey, what was your grade point in school?

546
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 3: I said, I had a full point on. He said, wow,

547
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 3: you had a full point on high school. I said, yeah,

548
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 3: when you total all three years.

549
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 6: Shit. I was struggling, man.

550
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 3: But if you're in here and you're investing in yourself,

551
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 3: that's the beginning of it, because you've got to get

552
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 3: the mental together.

553
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 6: Man.

554
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 3: This thing that's going on inside your head is the

555
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 3: whole determining factor. Man, don't nothing else matter. So I

556
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 3: could tell you everything until you believe it. We wasting time.

557
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 3: If you don't believe yourself can be rich, why don't

558
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 3: you get them?

559
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 6: Go home.

560
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 3: If you don't believe you can have two houses, just

561
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 3: get upm and go home. If you don't believe that

562
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,239
Speaker 3: you should have the life of your dreams, get up

563
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 3: and go home. If you don't think God is real,

564
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 3: get up and go home. Get you I give you

565
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 3: your money back?

566
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 6: How much was it.

567
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 3: We're gonna retract that statement because we're not giving no

568
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 3: damn money back. Let's just be clear about that. My

569
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 3: bad dog, I forgot I had invested. I'm sorry.

570
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 5: Retract that from the courts records, but also the lesson

571
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 5: and the blessing. From a business standpoint, it also helped

572
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 5: you get a better deal from this universe too.

573
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 3: Right, Well, see I can say it now because the

574
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 3: stocks are vetted. After the mishap, I said I didn't

575
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 3: want to do it no more because I was put

576
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 3: out on Front Street and they left me out there

577
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 3: to dry. Didn't nobody volunteer and say it was my fault,

578
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 3: tele prompted, didn't step forward to direct, the damn show,

579
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 3: didn't come forward. So I said, I ain't doing it.

580
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 3: So they said, well, suppose we play you double? I said,

581
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 3: I still ain't in it. They said, suppose we play

582
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 3: you triple. I said, I still ain't gonna do it.

583
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 3: He said, mister Harvey will pay you millions to come

584
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 3: back and do that. I said, I'm still not gonna

585
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 3: do it. They said, what do you want? I said, ownership?

586
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 3: So now our own miss universe, Miss USA, talk to us,

587
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 3: say let the church say, man talk better, praise him.

588
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 2: You better throw some water on somebody. H I said,

589
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 2: you gotta. We have a lot of entrepreneurs in here.

590
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: Put your hands up. If you have your own business

591
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 2: right now? Well a lot Look at this, my God,

592
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 2: A lot of entrepreneurs in him. A lot of times

593
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 2: people say, don't don't you know, don't start companies with

594
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 2: your family or your friends. And sometimes it can be beneficial,

595
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 2: but sometimes it can. You vested with one of your friends.

596
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 2: So can we talk about that experience? There was was

597
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 2: a late Tex company and the timing of it, obviously

598
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 2: investing with your fans, and what you learn from that

599
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 2: investment because obviously it didn't work.

600
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 6: Out, right, I'll let you tell a story.

601
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 2: But the lessons that I learned from going through something like.

602
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 5: That and how it changes you. Right, do you.

603
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 3: Well, the friend and I invested with he's passed now,

604
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 3: and I did it because we were friends. If it

605
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 3: had worked, it would have been more life changing for

606
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 3: him than for me, you know what I'm saying. And sometimes, man,

607
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 3: you do things when you get on the other side

608
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 3: of the money trail where you can start investing instead

609
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 3: of hustling for every dollar, You're going to make mistakes

610
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 3: in investing. You're going to make some major mistakes. Again,

611
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 3: had I listened to somebody that I sleep with, I

612
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 3: wouldn't have done this.

613
00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 6: And one thing about my girl.

614
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 3: Man pretty much forewarned me about everything I've went on

615
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 3: and done anyway, But I felt good about the investment.

616
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 3: But the investment didn't pan out at all. And it

617
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 3: was a late tax glove plant that we bought down there,

618
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 3: you follow Alabama. I bought it and then we hired

619
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 3: the wrong people and they messed up the moles and

620
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 3: all this here, which was crazy because a few years later,

621
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 3: here come COVID and now as a shortage of late

622
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 3: tax gloves. Now I got the plant down here that's

623
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 3: supposed to be making late tax gloves. But we didn't

624
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 3: hide the wrong people and they broke all the moles

625
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 3: and it just never panned out. The thing I learned

626
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 3: from that the way I invest. Now, Look, I appreciate

627
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 3: you being my friend, I appreciate you.

628
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 6: Being my family. But I got to do my due diligence.

629
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 3: Now, I got a whole team of people that do research,

630
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 3: that study, that look at the analytics of it, and

631
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 3: do a lot of background check it. And then if

632
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 3: it's good, you know, I might I might have some

633
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 3: money to invest. Now, I'm not gonna give you no

634
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 3: life change in money, But like I try to tell

635
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 3: young people all the time, when you meet somebody that's successful,

636
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 3: quit asking for money.

637
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 6: Ask for information.

638
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 3: See if money is like me giving you a fish sandwich,

639
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 3: information is teaching you how to fish. There's a major

640
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 3: difference in that. And rich people used to people asking

641
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 3: them for money, so they got all kinds of ways

642
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 3: of playing your ass off. You know that time somebody come, well,

643
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 3: hey man, let me holler at you. What let me

644
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 3: holler at you?

645
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 6: You sound like a relative trying to borrow twenty Now

646
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 6: you got a business proposal.

647
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 3: Do your due diligence when investing, do some re search

648
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 3: and lose the most useless. I want you to lose

649
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 3: the most useless emotion ever created, and it's called guilt.

650
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 3: Stop feeling guilty, man. Guilt serves no person, no purpose

651
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 3: itself for the person that's trying to make you feel guilty,

652
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 3: and that's all to manipulate you so they can get

653
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 3: what they want. I've lost all my guilt. You can

654
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 3: think what you want to think about me. I don't

655
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 3: give a damn. I'm not guilty about nothing. Why am

656
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 3: I guilty? Because your ass is pope? I was pope

657
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 3: for thirty eight years. I got my first car in

658
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 3: my name when I was thirty eight. Now you said

659
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 3: them in here thirty ernest?

Speaker 3: Look at everybody that's really got a lot of money.

722
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 3: Now if you want to use that one example of

723

Speaker 3: Kanye got this, and Kanye got that, and.

00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,520

Speaker 3: enjoy the process.

729
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,959
Speaker 5: So let me let me ask you this. The last

730
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 5: time we spoke, you couldn't really talk because the show

731
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 5: didn't come out yet, but you was very enthusiastic about

732
00:42:53,440 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 5: your Judge show, which is a hit. Congratulations that yeahang

733
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 5: last every day thing. But there's a business lesson behind

734
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,439
Speaker 5: that as well, because you said that was the first

735
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 5: show where you have like complete ownership of and you

736
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 5: said that that was the one that's gonna take you

737
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 5: out of here. And it's crazy because it's like, you know,

738
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 5: you had all of these other shows and Steve Harvey Show,

739
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 5: but you never had ownership in that. So why was

740
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 5: it important for you to have ownership? And what's the

741
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 5: dynamics of the Judge Show as opposed to the other

742
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 5: shows that you had?

743
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 6: In the best see the Steve Harvey Show.

744
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 3: It was me and said entertainer Wendy Rakale and Terry

745
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 3: and Maryland Santana Will Scott.

746
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 6: This was a show that ABC had created. So I

747
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,879
Speaker 6: came along. I was just coming out of homelessness. Man.

748
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,439
Speaker 3: I was just, man, y'all gonna pay me? How much

749
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 3: my first TV show? They gave me seventy five thousand

750
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 3: dollars every Thursday, I'm signing. I'm I ain't got no money.

751
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 3: I'm signing could every time they pay I was crying.

752
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe this man didn't know nothing about no business.

753
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 3: Then I got another show and I had I had

754
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 3: twelve percent, but it was after AMRG and all that,

755
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 3: and by the time they get through doing their math,

756
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 3: I never saw money on that Family Feud is my

757
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 3: biggest product, but it was owned by six families Denmar Freemantle,

758
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 3: so all I could do with Family Feud was make money.

759
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:34,240
Speaker 3: I ain't complaining because I'm you know, I'm doing well.

760
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 3: But and then you look at Little Big Shots. I

761
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 3: add a third of that. But that's a whole nother story.

762
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 3: The way NBC tried to play me, they thought they

763
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 3: was gonna ruin my whole career by getting rid of

764
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 3: the Little Big Shots and Steve Harvey Talk show at

765
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 3: the same time. That's okay. They didn't know what God

766
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 3: was fit to do, so I let him go ahead

767
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 3: do that. Go ahead, said that's another You got to

768
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 3: learn when somebody closed the door in your face, stop

769
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 3: standing at the door beating on it. The reason the

770
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 3: door closes is because God wants you to walk up

771
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 3: the hall.

772
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 6: It's some more.

773
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 3: Does he got a bigger door, a better dough with

774
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 3: most stuff in it.

775
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 6: Stop beating on doors and go up the hall. So

776
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 6: that's neither there. You know there.

777
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 3: But when the Judge Show came up, I was out

778
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 3: at Tyler Perry Studios shooting a family feud on my

779
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 3: Facebook watch show, and ABC asked for a meeting and

780
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 3: they had thirteen thirteen executives on a zoom call, and

781
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 3: that's unheard of. I had the president of the network,

782
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 3: the head of comedy development, the head of writers, and

783
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 3: I had a dude on there from all these other departments,

784
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 3: and then the dude from business affairs was on the phone.

785
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, that's the dude that cut the deal.

786
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 3: So I knew this was about business. So they pitched

787
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 3: me to do a sitcom on the ABC and they

788
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 3: went through this whole thirty minutes about pitching this sitcom

789
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 3: and when they got through, I said, I don't want

790
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 3: to do that, and they went, what, No, We're going

791
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 3: to greenlight the show, mister Harvey, and we want you

792
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 3: to start in it and we'll give you a full season.

793
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 6: I said, I don't want to do that. They said, why,

794
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 6: I don't want to work like that?

795
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 3: No more. And only sitcom I've enjoyed was when me

796
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 3: and said was on TV together. That was my best friend.

797
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 3: We made money and we enjoyed working together. Kings of

798
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 3: Comedy was at the same time, so we were just

799
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 3: we was clocking it back then and we was having fun.

800
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 6: So they said, well, what do you want to do.

801
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 3: I said, well, I've been thinking about this idea for

802
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 3: about twelve years, and they said, what is it? I said,

803
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 3: I want to be a judge on TV. Now, everybody

804
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 3: supposed to be on mute, right, but this white dude

805
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,760
Speaker 3: he didn't put his zoom on. And when I said

806
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 3: I want to be a judge, he said, is this

807
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 3: guy even a fucking lawyer?

808
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 6: The fuck is he talking about? He's said the shit

809
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,439
Speaker 6: on the zoom? I was bet.

810
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 3: I was bent over laugh the funniest shit I've ever heard.

811
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 3: I was knocking shit over laugh because that's a real,

812
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 3: real comment. Because he don't work with the company no more.

813
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 3: Because I was the only one thought it was funny,

814
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 3: the president of ABC went, I want to know who

815
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 3: said that? So she said, So we got to talking

816
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 3: about it, and then about an hour to the conversation,

817
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 3: the guy from Comedy Development says, well, what makes you

818
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 3: think you could be a judge on TV? I said, shit,

819
00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 3: Donald Trump was president, y'all, let his ass be president.

820
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 3: How the hell I can't be a judge on TV?

821
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,479
Speaker 3: They said, let us think about it. The next day

822
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 3: they called my lawyer brand and it said, we're green

823
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,959
Speaker 3: lighting the show. We'll give him a full season right now.

824
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 3: I said, hold on, not so fast. I say, I

825
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 3: want to own the IP. I want to own advertising rights.

826
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 3: I want executive producer credits, I want hosting credits, and

827
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 3: I want my contract drawn up.

828
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 6: Every single time.

829
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 3: ABC get a check, I get the same check. I

830
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 3: don't want the other check. Well, Steve, you're gonna get

831
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 3: paid for hosting and executive producing, and you're gonna get

832
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 3: your IP check and created by I'm gonna get all that.

833
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 6: I got that.

834
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 3: But when y'all get that advertising dollars, whatever check you

835
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 3: cut to yourself, you got to cut that chance.

836
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 6: Same check to me. Well, Steve, that's fifty fifty.

837
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 3: I don't know how you want to look at it,

838
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 3: not really sure, but we're gonna put it on paper.

839
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 6: Do you know.

840
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 3: I did a whole season still with no contract because

841
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 3: they just can't bring theirself to side. But now the

842
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 3: show is a hit. It's the number one show on

843
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 3: ABC for the night. So now what you're going You

844
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 3: can't walk away from the hit. So now they just

845
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 3: presented the contract last.

846
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 6: Week to my lawyer.

847
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,959
Speaker 3: And so this is the first time, after all these

848
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 3: years that I own something completely and totally, and uh,

Speaker 3: gonna ride out on this don't count shit.

854
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,280
Speaker 6: I just want to be clear about it that.

855
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 3: You brought up ownership and you can edit out the

856
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 3: cussing because I got too comfortable.

857
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 2: You brought up ownership and you spoke about family feud,

858
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 2: and last we spoke, we were talking about how you've

859
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 2: created family feud in South Africa and you're trying to

860
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 2: expand it to other countries.

861
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 6: Can you talk.

862
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 2: About the importance of investing in Africa and the infrastructure

863
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 2: and how for the future that's where we need to

864
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 2: be doing because we try to preach it, and I

865
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 2: feel like people are still looking at as the old perspective,

866
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 2: not knowing that when we go there and we highlight

867
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 2: the great things that are going on, we have an

868
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,399
Speaker 2: opportunity to change the perspective and actually build this gold

869
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 2: content that we know it is.

870
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 3: You know what I had to do was I went

871
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 3: to Family Feud and I bought the international rights to

872
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 3: family feud. That way I could own something because I

873
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 3: can't own the family feud. But I was told by everybody,

874
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,760
Speaker 3: nobody shoots TV in Africa.

875
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 6: It just won't work.

876
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 3: They don't have the bandwidth, they don't have the capabilities.

877
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 3: They just they don't have that Hollywood dust.

878
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 6: And that's true.

879
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 3: Nobody has the Hollywood dust like Hollywood. See what you

880
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 3: all got to understand. The majority of shows you see

881
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 3: over here is hit shows. They buy the format at

882
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 3: the MIP conference, they bring it back to America, change

883
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 3: the name of it, put that Hollywood dust on it,

884
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 3: make it a hit, and then sell it back to them.

885
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 3: Oh these white folks, Oh they they're incredible. It's the

886
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 3: most amazing thing that really to just clap for their ass.

887
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 6: They buy from.

888
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 3: Them, fix it, dust it all, sprinkle it and say

889
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 3: it back to there, and they buy it. America got

890
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 3: talent man, all that voice, all that.

891
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 6: That ain't from here. They bought that.

892
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 3: But nobody does TV bigger than them. So they kept

893
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 3: telling me they don't have it. Well, nobody does. But

894
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 3: what they kept pushing was these African people, they can't

895
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 3: make this set. They don't know enough about lighting, they

896
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:40,720
Speaker 3: don't have competent camera people. They are so one hundred

897
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 3: percent wrong. Them Africans got everything.

898
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 6: They got everything. They got the band with, they.

899
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 3: Got the talent, they got the grips, they know how

900
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 3: to light. Let me tell you something, man, if you

901
00:52:56,360 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 3: look at the Family Feud Africa clips, it is colder

902
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 3: than the clips I walk out on every day.

903
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:05,760
Speaker 6: The Africa set is better.

904
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 3: They hard workers, they get it, man, it's just nobody

905
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 3: believed in them. Now you can go over there and

906
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 3: you can make TV a lot more reasonable, but you're

907
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 3: gonna have to come see me because I've created a

908
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 3: company that ain't gonna let your ass go over there

909
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 3: without seeing me. So in case you think you finish,

910
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:28,240
Speaker 3: go over there and pimped the game, not gonna happen.

911
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. You can go over there, but it

912
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 3: still ain't gonna happen, no man. But it took a

913
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 3: year to figure it out, and then the second year

914
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:45,839
Speaker 3: became noticeably better. But we took a show that they

915
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 3: said you cannot do and turn it into the number

916
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 3: one show in both countries, South Africa and Ghana. We

917
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,280
Speaker 3: only shot it into countries. It's a number one show,

918
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:02,479
Speaker 3: but Africa is a place. You all understand something. See

919
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:07,399
Speaker 3: they keeping us away from each other and COVID hit

920
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 3: and I was just about to do a deal with

921
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,839
Speaker 3: South African Air to bring African Americans first of all

922
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 3: to Ghana because you have to go see the slave castles.

923
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 3: Every black person living should go to Ghana and see

924
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,800
Speaker 3: them slave castles, so you can see what they did

925
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 3: to us. You got to see what they did to us.

926
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 3: You got to see how they built these dungeons underground,

927
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 3: and they put these churches on top, and they dug

928
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 3: holes in the ground to pump the music or they

929
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,240
Speaker 3: what they call they Christianity into the holes.

930
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 6: While man, they did, let me explain some of y'all.

931
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,359
Speaker 3: They walk them as far as they can.

932
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 6: First to make them lose weight. They put them in

933
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:49,399
Speaker 6: a room.

934
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 3: Then they cut a door, and after you've been in

935
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 3: this room in two weeks, they walk you through this door.

936
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,359

937
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,720

00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,720
Speaker 3: that before you go through the door of no return.

944
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 3: And they steady sitting up there talking about Jesus. Jesus,

945
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 3: me and my wife, we wouldn't even go in they church.

946
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,520

00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 3: you're talking about Jesus, and you'd have done this to

00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 3: That's why they keep our prisons filled with our brothers

984
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 3: and sisters.

985
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 6: Because they know it.

986
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 3: That's why see I'm on something else now, But let

987
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 3: me just tell you the truth. So here's the problem.

988
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 3: That's why the tax system will never change. So if

989
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 3: you live in a poor neighborhood, they can't pay as

990
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 3: much taxes as the neighborhood in the suburbs. When they

991
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 3: get the money into the state to allocate the money

992
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 3: for education and facilities back to the pacers who played

993
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 3: the most tax we ain't gonna ever pay the most

994
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 3: taxes because they ain't gonna let the property values be

995
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 3: worth a damn and they're gonna keep us in a circle.

996
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 6: And that's why they.

997
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 3: Got to keep us like that, because they know when

998
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 3: we slip through the cracks on they ass we do much.

999
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 3: When you go to Mohouse and Spelman and Howard and

1000
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 3: Tennessee and Prairie View and Southern and you go out

1001
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 3: there and you become doctors and lawyers, they know who

1002
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 3: you are.

1003
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 6: You more.

1004
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 3: I met a brother today that's ahead of diversity for Nike.

1005
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 6: How he get there? How y'all get in here?

1006
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 3: Because it is thing that's in you that won't let

1007
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 3: you lay down and die. Because when they incarcerate your

1008
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 3: daddy and oh oh, and then and that's the other thing.

1009
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 3: So now, since you live in this certain neighborhood. You

1010
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 3: on welfare, we'll give you a check. But a man

1011
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 3: can't live in the house. Oh, I'll be damn So.

1012
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 3: Now that don't promote families.

1013
00:58:59,080 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 6: Does it.

1014
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 3: So now we live in these fractured societies and we

1015
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 3: keep trying to make something out of nothing. But we

1016
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 3: keep showing up though, we keep showing up, And y'all

1017
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 3: got to keep on showing up because we it. Man,

1018
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna lie to you. We it, We them people,

1019
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 3: We them people. If we're gonna if we're gonna keep coming,

1020
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 3: and we're gonna keep coming in here, damn thing.

1021
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 6: You can do about it.

1022
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 3: Ship, I got mad, now gone. I don't even smoke.

1023
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 6: You know, I ain't never hed weed in my life, man,

1024
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 6: I ain't never heard it.

1025
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 5: I know some people, huh, I said, I do not

1026
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 5: know some people leisurely. So, while we're on the International Vibe,

1027
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 5: during our legendary episode, we spoke about your relationship with

1028
00:59:56,360 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 5: the uae Abu Dhabi, but we never actually spoke about

1029
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 5: how that relationship started. And I think it's an interesting story.

1030
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 5: Can you talk about how you became so revered in

1031
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,919
Speaker 5: the Middle East and how you've built such good relationships

1032
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 5: with the royal family over there.

1033
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 6: Well, you know, it just comes down to respect.

1034
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 3: You can't believe the propaganda that people say about other places.

1035
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 3: You think the Middle East is everybody walking out in

1036
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 3: the courtyard, pulling cords, blowing up stuff.

1037
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 6: That's the ones they show you.

1038
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 3: You ever been to the UA, You ever been to

1039
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 3: a place that's got zero point six percent crime? You

1040
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 3: ever been to a place where the last car that

1041
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 3: was stolen in Dubai was thirty years ago? You ever

1042
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 3: been to the Abu Dhabi where they've never had a

1043
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 3: stolen car. There are no bank robberies, there are no murders,

1044
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 3: there's no hold ups. Now, you can't come over there

1045
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 3: smoking no weed. Don't do it. Don't do it, be

1046
01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 3: your last stick. But if you go over there and

1047
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 3: respect what they have. I just enjoy going to a

1048
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 3: place that has that much peace in it that I

1049
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 3: can walk somewhere and ain't nobody gonna jack me. So

1050
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 3: as my family started going over there twelve years ago,

1051
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 3: I guess around twelve years ago it was just to visit.

1052
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 3: And then I was over there and I kept coming

1053
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 3: so much. They cause why do you come here?

1054
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 6: You like it? I said, and I respect it.

1055
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 3: Then I sat down and I met a lot of

1056
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 3: the Muslims, and once I understood what Islam was, and

1057
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 3: I'm a Christian, I'm not changing my faith. My faith

1058
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 3: been working for me. But I have the sense to

1059
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 3: respect another faith. Islam is good. Islam is about peace

1060
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 3: and love. Islam is about respect.

1061
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 6: You gotta let them have at You ain't God.

1062
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 3: You ain't got no heaven for nobody. You can't pass

1063
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 3: no judgment. The people got something going on over there.

1064
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 3: So I just started learning myself more and more about

1065
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 3: how they were.

1066
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 6: And then I was over there shooting.

1067
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 3: They asked me to do something in Dubai for the UAE,

1068
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 3: to do a promotional film, and you know I did.

1069
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 3: It wasn't what I wanted to make, but I was

1070
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 3: over there like him, and my wife and I were

1071
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 3: sitting there outside the louver and a car pulled up

1072
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 3: and said, His Highness would like to see Steve Harvey. Well,

1073
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:37,959
Speaker 3: let's shut the whole set down. I'm in a car

1074
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 3: and I go visit him. And the way I met

1075
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 3: him originally though, was we were at Formula one and

1076
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 3: one of my favorite pictures is he was pinning me

1077
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 3: and the guy wanted me to go meet him, and

1078
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 3: the people lined up to see this man, and I

1079
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 3: didn't know much about him.

1080
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 6: I said, now, I don't want to bother the man.

1081
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 6: He said no.

1082
01:02:56,280 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 3: So the ambassador from the United States walked me up

1083
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 3: to him and I got ready to introduce myself. I said,

1084
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 3: how you doing, sir, My name is Steve Harvey. I'm

1085
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 3: from the United States. He said, I know exactly who

1086
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 3: you are. He said, your story is incredible. He told

1087
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 3: me I was homeless. He told me he couldn't believe

1088
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 3: how I, as a black man in this country, had

1089
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 3: risen from the dirt to where I was.

1090
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 6: He told that to me.

1091
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 3: Now I'm standing up here, you know me, I'm crying

1092
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 3: because I'm sitered. I can't believe this dude's even talking

1093
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 3: to me. And that's how it started, and then it

1094
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 3: just evolved from there.

1095
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 6: And this man is.

1096
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:44,919
Speaker 3: One of the kindest men that has power that I've

1097
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 3: ever seen, the way he treats his people.

1098
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 6: Look, there have a.

1099
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 3: Monarchy, right, and you think, well, listen, but then hey,

1100
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 3: they got a monarchy in England too.

1101
01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 6: But guess what he take care of his people.

1102
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 3: Ain't don't want for nothing, ain't no crime, ain't no homelessness,

1103
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 3: ain't no unemployment.

1104
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 6: If you ain't working in the UAE is because you

1105
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 6: don't want a job.

1106
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 3: Everybody over there got jobs and he takes care of

1107
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 3: their people and.

1108
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 6: His kindness is overwhelming.

1109
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 3: And I tied it to Africa because he knew in

1110
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 3: Boswana that I had a relationship with Boswana. When COVID

1111
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 3: first hit, Botswana had put in an order to China

1112
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 3: and the Chinese just took their money, told them since

1113
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 3: they was inland, they couldn't deliver them no pp E supplies,

1114
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 3: ppete whatever that.

1115
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 6: Is, mask and all that.

1116
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 3: So I called up the government of UAE, said, man,

1117
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 3: can you help? These people were gonna lose a whole country,

1118
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 3: BOSWANAE but two and a half million people. They was

1119
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 3: over there losing people. I said, man, we got to

1120
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 3: get them some supplies. They got the ruler on the

1121
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:59,439
Speaker 3: phone and he told me not to tell it. He said,

1122
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 3: I want this to be from USTe. This is how

1123
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 3: he is. He put two cargo planes loaded with seven

1124
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:16,360
Speaker 3: tons of pp supplies, flew him from Abu Dhabi, landed

1125
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 3: in in Barswana and gave it to him for zero.

1126
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 3: He didn't charge them one single quarter. Now, what ruler

1127
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 3: you know do that? What ruler does that man cares

1128
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 3: about another group of people, and he says, Steve, this

1129
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 3: is from you, you and your wife.

1130
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 6: So we got on Facebook. We did the zoom with them.

1131
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,840
Speaker 3: They thanked us and everything. But I couldn't just keep

1132
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 3: taking credit for that. I don't even know where to

1133
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 3: get seven tons or nothing, So let me quit.

1134
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 6: Playing this out like his meat.

1135
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 3: No man, it was this man whose brother recently passed

1136
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 3: and now he's the president of the UAE and one

1137
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 3: of the most powerful men in the world. And when

1138
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 3: I tell you power because they got oil. They got oil.

1139
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 3: But when you meet these people, they are the kindest,

1140
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 3: most sincere people I've ever been around ever.

1141
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 6: And I would stand up and say that about this man.

1142
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 3: Anywhere I go in the world, I wouldn't care who

1143
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 3: didn't like it. Forget everything you've ever heard. After you

1144
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 3: go to Africa, you got to go to Ghana first.

1145
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,439
Speaker 3: Then you need to go to Boswana because you need

1146
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 3: to see what we Boswana is the second richest diamond

1147
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 3: producer nation in the world. Them black people over that

1148
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 3: got something. And then you got to go to Johannes

1149
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 3: Bird that's what you got. You got to do that

1150
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 3: jump right there. Once you see that, you'll understand who

1151
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 3: we are. Them Africans ain't stolen nothing from us. They

1152
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 3: talk about Burner Boy stole this. No, we stole from

1153
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 3: Burner Boy. Them Africans is us many. They the beat,

1154
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,920

01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 3: They We get our courage from them. When you see

1156
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 3: them people, they look just like your family. I was

1157
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 3: walking down Johannesburn I thought I was in Detroit. They

1158
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 3: walk like us, They look like us, they got moves

1159
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 3: like us. It's just you gotta see it, and we

1160
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:39,440
Speaker 3: gotta My goal is to help bridge this gap because

1161
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 3: we got to touch base with them, because they love y'all. Man,

1162
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 3: you don't even know. They thank y'all that catch me out.

1163
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 3: They thank y'all the lick. You know why, because they

1164
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 3: know what you went through. They know where them slave

01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 3: ship picked you up at. They know they brought you

1166
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 3: to a land, they know what they did to you.

1167
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 3: And y'all still over here shining. If we take this

1168
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 3: shine back over there and give them the love and

1169
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 3: teach them that dust, we'd have a powerful union.

1170
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 6: Now that has to happen that sikes see Farby bench.

1171
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 2: This is a incredible success, obviously an immedia platform number

1172
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 2: one show.

1173
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 6: At the number one show.

1174
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:20,759
Speaker 2: I wonder if there is anything that's missing from your portfolio.

1175
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 2: Is this something that you have like on the vision

1176
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 2: board that you have yet to accomplish.

1177
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 6: Well, my wife and I bought a ranch.

1178
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 3: And it used to be owned by the Kathy family,

1179
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 3: which owns Chick fil A.

1180
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 5: You'll be here tomorrow, thank you for that.

1181
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, by the way, you're welcome.

1182
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 3: And I was doing my mintering camp down there for

1183
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 3: three years and it was such a beautiful place, man,

1184
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 3: one thousand, six hundred acres And when I tell you, man,

1185
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 3: oh my goodness, Oh, it's incredibly beautiful.

1186
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:13,080
Speaker 6: And a few years ago.

1187
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:16,679
Speaker 3: I was down there doing the camp and I approached

1188
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 3: him about buying, you know, a couple hundred acres if

1189
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:24,440
Speaker 3: I could just get a couple hundred acres, And it didn't.

1190
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 6: Work out at the time.

1191
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:30,360
Speaker 3: But see, God, let me tell you something, man, I

1192
01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:34,400
Speaker 3: don't care what your plan is. God playing way cold

1193
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 3: in your plan. So he didn't let the two hundred

1194
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 3: acres go down. So what he was doing was setting

1195
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 3: it up that I didn't know about.

1196
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 6: So Marjorie and.

1197
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:52,640
Speaker 3: I bought months back. We bought the whole thing, the

1198
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:57,559
Speaker 3: whole sixteen hundred acres, and we changed the name of

1199
01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:01,320
Speaker 3: it from the Rock Ranch to the Steven Marjorie Harvey

1200
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 3: Legacy Ranch. That's the theme that Marjorie and I are

1201
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,800
Speaker 3: gonna hang our hat on. So let me tell you

1202
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 3: what we want to do. We've already started the process.

1203
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 3: We're zoning meetings down there. We're taking this property and

1204
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 3: we're leasing it to our foundation for one dollar. Because

1205
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 3: the foundation don't need that hit. We took the money ourselves.

1206
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 3: We leasened it to our foundation for one dollar. We

1207
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:39,880
Speaker 3: have the plans to build dormitories that sleeps three hundred

1208
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 3: and fifty boys or girls. We already know we can't

1209
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 3: bring them together. We figured that out. They have to

1210
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:52,839
Speaker 3: come separately. I ain't going to be explaining this to nobody,

1211
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 3: Mom and all this hell. The boys and girls come separately.

1212
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:58,480
Speaker 3: We're building dormitories.

1213
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 6: We're building a STEM center to teach STEM.

1214
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:08,520
Speaker 3: We're building an East Sports complex. We're building gymnasiums.

1215
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 6: We're building a.

1216
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 3: Division one weight class weight room.

1217
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:15,680
Speaker 6: We're building a.

1218
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 3: Seven hundred Cet Theater to teach and show presentations in.

1219
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 3: We're building a brand new dining hall facility that's gonna

1220
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 3: cost a lot of money. Do we have that money now?

1221
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 3: But you know, man, that's the other thing I learned.

1222
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 3: You know, when God tell you to do something, you

1223
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:38,040
Speaker 3: got to do it. See, the how too ain't really

1224
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 3: your business. And that's what really messes a lot of

1225
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 3: people up. You get it something in your imagination or

1226
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:46,759
Speaker 3: something you start dreaming about, and then you start figuring

1227
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:49,320
Speaker 3: out the how too. Well, I got news for you.

1228
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 3: The how too ain't none of your business. The how

1229
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:54,759
Speaker 3: to is up to God. You got to be willing

1230
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 3: to do the work and put in the faith. See,

1231
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 3: that's really all it is. I know a lot of

1232
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:02,599
Speaker 3: people got educated broke as hell, so I've already figured

1233
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 3: it out. It ain't your education. As a matter of fact,

1234
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:09,839
Speaker 3: education ain't even in the Bible. They ain't never mentioned

1235
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:14,800
Speaker 3: Emory in the Bible. They got no scriptures about harved Yell.

1236
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 6: It's not more.

1237
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:18,600
Speaker 3: House ain't even in the Bible. As much as you

1238
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 3: like it to be, it's not in there. But you

1239
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 3: know what's in that old dreams visions a man without

1240
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 3: a dream or vision shall perish.

1241
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:31,839
Speaker 6: It don't say a man without education with parish.

1242
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 3: So quit worrying about if you don't have the education,

1243
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:39,520
Speaker 3: if you don't have all the credentials.

1244
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:41,760
Speaker 6: You need the vision, and you got to be ready

1245
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 6: to work.

1246
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 3: And look, man, when God puts something in your imagination,

1247
01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 3: when you put it in your heart, you got to

1248
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:50,920
Speaker 3: go for it. I was talking to you before the

1249
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 3: thing started. You know the hardest thing to get people

1250
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:56,920
Speaker 3: about success.

1251
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 6: The hardest thing is to start. Start. Man.

1252
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 3: Most people are frozen with fear, and you frozen with

1253
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:10,679
Speaker 3: the how too. You can't figure out how to make

1254
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:14,599
Speaker 3: a million dollars, so you never start. You ain't got

1255
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 3: to know how to make a million dollars? Who told

1256
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:20,040
Speaker 3: you that you got to start?

1257
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 6: Man? You got to take a leap of faith.

1258
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:27,000
Speaker 3: Quitn't tripping yourself out of the blessing because you're worrying

1259
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 3: about the how too. God ain't nowhere in the Bible

1260
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 3: told you to figure it out. He say, ask, believe, receive.

1261
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:38,599
Speaker 3: Then he said faith with our works is dead. You

1262
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:40,800
Speaker 3: ain't got to know the whole Bible. I don't know

1263
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 3: but six scriptures. I think I'd have done all six

1264
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:43,680
Speaker 3: of them.

1265
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:50,400
Speaker 6: Already. That's all you got to know. Man, You getting tricked.

1266
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:53,080
Speaker 3: Got these people thinking you got to be saved at

1267
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:56,400
Speaker 3: this church. You got to speak in tongues that that church.

1268
01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:58,760
Speaker 3: You got to be over here doing it that this way.

1269
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 3: That's not true. God is a forgiving god, man, God

1270
01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 3: in the blessing business. God don't care if you don't

01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 3: go to Holy Rock or Mountgive a Lot Baptist Church.
