As you know, 10 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: from time to time, I go Instagram live because the 11 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: energy is different when I am giving commentary and I 12 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: get direct feedback from those who are listening. Sometimes I 13 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: add people to the call, other times I am just 14 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: giving you my thoughts on particular comments. And our Instagram 15 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: lives are so all the way live that we have 16 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: been uploading it to the actual podcasts so that those 17 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: who follow me on uh my podcast can hear uh 18 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: these great conversations that we have. As you know, I 19 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: do interviews as well on the podcast, but it's nothing 20 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: like this raw, real commentary to talk about news of 21 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: the day. If you follow me, you can also check 22 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,559 Speaker 1: me out on Black News Channel. I'm a political contributor there, 23 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: and a lot of times or all of the time, 24 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: it's not like I just get to go on and 25 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: on with my points. I may have two to three minutes, 26 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: maybe five. I'm sharing it with other people on the platform, 27 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: so there's not always a lot of time to really 28 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: go deeper into the word, as they say, uh. And 29 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: that is what this podcast space allows me to do, 30 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: to go deeper into the topic and really get into it. 31 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: So with that said, right now today we have the 32 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: highest record breaking today is March eighth. By the way, 33 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: we have record breaking gas prices higher than we have 34 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: seen in history. In fact, I believe, as I'm pulling 35 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: it up, I think the last time um that we 36 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: had uh this record and I'm pulling it up as 37 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: we speak, UH was two thousand and eight. And that's 38 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: very interesting because that's the year that I actually started 39 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: UH my business. In two thousand and eight is when 40 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: I started my staffing firm. So what really prompted this 41 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: live is on yesterday I made a comment about and 42 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: I'll read the post on my Instagram. I said, I 43 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: see working from home is trending. And then in parentheses, 44 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: I said, I get it. Now, what does that mean? Family? 45 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: That means I get it, I understand the word from 46 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 1: home concept. But truck drivers can't work from home unless 47 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: you expect them to drive in and out of the driveway. 48 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: Waiters and waitresses cancer tables unless you expect their kids 49 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: to tip them at the dinner table. We need a 50 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: solution that helps everyone. Now, I'm gonna show y'all how 51 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: y'all do in the comments. Now, I clearly said in parentheses, 52 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: I get it, I mean and I understand the word 53 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: from home. Concert up. No, I have no problem working 54 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: from home. I gave examples on people who can't work 55 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: from home, and then I said, we need a solution 56 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: that helps everyone. Now, this is Twitter, so you have 57 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: a limited amount of character space, so you can't really 58 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: go into detail in the context and get deeper into it, 59 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: uh the way I would love to. But I clearly 60 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: said we need a solution that helps everyone. Now, Family, 61 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: that line right there. This does doesn't say that we 62 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: only need one solution. It says we need a solution 63 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: that helps everyone, meaning we can have various solutions on 64 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: the table. Somebody said, with me, class various solutions on 65 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: the table. If you follow me, you know I am 66 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: big on two things can be true at the same time. 67 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: We the society at this point, and I guess social 68 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: media and the two minute attention deficit disorder that we 69 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: have on social media, people have a real hard time 70 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: or critical thinking, deductive reasoning, understanding, Oh, one thing can 71 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: be true and another thing can be true at the 72 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: same time. People really struggle with that. They get so 73 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: zoned in on one thing and they're so quick to 74 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: jump into the comments, not reading the caption, not looking 75 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: at the entire situation, because there's this need to express, 76 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: this need to be heard all of the time. And 77 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: sometimes we're loud and wrong, are we're inaccurate, or we 78 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: don't look at the complete picture, which is why I 79 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: really hate Instagram. But it's where the majority of you are. 80 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: But I hate Instagram because it's anti information. It doesn't 81 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: allow you to share links. Even if you put a 82 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: link in the comment, people can't click on it easily 83 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: and read it. It's all about pictures and all about videos, 84 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: and it that to me, is anti information. It's not 85 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: designed for you to read more, understand more, get more 86 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: in depth. The whole concept of Instagram is giving you 87 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: one bit of information and running with it, which I 88 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: think is a set up, by the way, which is 89 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: why some companies in China that have the TikTok model 90 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: won't even allow it unless it is educational, because they 91 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: believe in educating their people and not just entertaining. We 92 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: have been set up our minds it to entertain, which 93 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: is why when I go live a lot of times 94 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: I just put the audio up and people to say 95 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: why I can't see you? Why I can't see you? 96 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: Because you're more concerned if the bangs are banging, if 97 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: the lift stick is popping, what am I looking like today, 98 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: what's going on around me? All of that instead of 99 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: just being really focused on what it is that I'm saying. 100 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: So all of that is a setup. And that's a 101 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: conversation for another day. But I want to tell you 102 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: what you guys do when you do that, When you 103 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: jump into the comments and say, well, I don't think 104 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: they saying we shouldn't work up, that we shouldn't look 105 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: out for manual labor. I'm saying we should work from home. 106 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: I need to work from home. People should work from home. 107 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: You start listing all these reasons on why you should 108 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: work from home. Some of you do it intentionally, some 109 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: of you do this not even really knowing what you're doing. 110 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna show you what what it is that 111 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: you do. It's the same thing of when I am 112 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: advocating for pro black and I'm saying less uplift black 113 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: people in this particular area, and somebody jumps in to say, yeah, 114 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: I get it, but what about white? What about Asian? 115 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: What about Hispanic? What about everybody? What about what about 116 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: what about you? Literally when you do that, you're literally 117 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: doing all lives matter, That's what you're doing. If I'm 118 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: saying let's not forget about those who do manual labor, 119 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: and also folks who work in the office and still 120 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: can't work from home because there's certain jobs. Said us 121 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: to my cousin that just joined. When I had asked 122 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: her a few months ago, could you work from home? 123 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: She told me her particular job has a computer system 124 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: that is not something you can work from home. So 125 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: there's even people in the office that still can't work 126 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: from home. So if I am advocating for people that 127 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: cannot work from home, it does not mean that I 128 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: am antie those who work from home. Now let me 129 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: give you a couple of facts about myself, because facts 130 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: are important. I was the branch manager for a Deco, 131 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: the largest staff and firm in the world, in two 132 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: thousand seven. Prior to that, in about two thousand five, 133 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: I believe I was a branch manager at Robert Half 134 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: inter National, the third largest staff and firm in the world. 135 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: And in two thousand seventy into two thousand seven when 136 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: I was laid off during the recession. That's when the 137 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: recession started in two thousand and eight, which is why 138 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: we just broke the two thousand and eight record for 139 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: gas prices. That's when I started my company, the Allied Group. 140 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: I started to set shout out the Spudge. I got 141 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: a lot of good compliments on Spuddy just joined. I 142 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: started my staffing firm in the middle at the beginning 143 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: of a recession, where gas prices were high, nobody was hiring. 144 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: I had the audacity to start my staffing firm to 145 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: put people to work when nobody was working. Okay, So 146 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: and right now I sit on the board of a 147 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: staffing firm that does about eighty million a year, and 148 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: I'm always telling my client allow those who can work 149 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: from home to work from home because there's many pros 150 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: with working from home. There are some cons too, but productivity, yes, 151 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: there's some pros, but some of y'all link productive at home. 152 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: Let's just keep it real. There are some con to 153 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: it as well. There's some benefits to working in the office. 154 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: But we're gonna have that conversation another day, because humility 155 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: gotta deal with you right now. This is about humility 156 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: right now. So I started my business in two thousand 157 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: and eight. I didn't make a dime.

I'm sorry, I thought I was better 224 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: than him, So why is she not acknowledging me? That's 225 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: what it really comes down to when we talk about 226 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: the male and female dynamic. I know y'all say it 227 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: don't have to do with it, but it do it. 228 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: Do two things that motivate men. We'll send their pocket 229 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: and we'll send their pants. And any time I triggered 230 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: something about the pocket, where I'm saying, shout out to 231 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 1: those brothers making fifteen seventeen, eighteen twenty dollars an hour. 232 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 1: It triggers men who make more. And anytime I talk 233 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: about something in the pants, when I talk about my 234 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: will and down brothers, it triggers you average at best 235 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: brothers every time. That's just what it is. And not 236 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: calling men simple, but that's really what it is. And 237 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: women we do the same with attention from men. But 238 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: we can have that conversation another day. But I'm trying 239 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: to weave all that in because I want you to 240 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: know the psyche of those that get into the comments 241 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: that feel it was so important to say shout out 242 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: to the brothers that do both. I'm not talking about 243 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: the brothers that do both. I'm talking about the brothers 244 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: that just do that.

I've also done manual labor jobs that 249 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people would never do. When I had 250 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: to start my business all over again, after building it 251 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: up to three hundred employees. We don't have to guess. 252 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: All you gotta do is go put Tesla and Figuo 253 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: it's only one, and put our Lando Business Journal in 254 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: the Google Tesla Figro Orlando Business Journal, and then you'll 255 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: see the video where it says Orlando Business Journal winner 256 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: women who mean business in two thousand, twelve or three 257 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: hundred employees.

Let's get that straight. Let's get 264 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: that straight. Do you know that I could say to you, well, 265 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: you office workers, because there are people to think that 266 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: way that they look at office workers is beneath them. 267 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: I could easily say, were you office workers? You know 268 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: what you signed up for when you started working. I 269 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: used to do it in the staffing industry, and I say, 270 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:20,599 Speaker 1: you know you had to be at this job and 271 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: something so sign why didn't you show up?

Do you realize 278 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: that I could have that same attitude with you brothers 279 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: and sisters that work in the office that's looking down 280 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: on those who don't work in who can't work from home. 281 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: Do you know that I could say to you, well, 282 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 1: you should have been a boss, because if you was 283 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: a boss, you wouldn't be having to go clock in 284 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: for anybody. But see, I'm not seeing that to you. 285 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 1: So the nerve for you to say it to anybody 286 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: that can't work from home? Can I say it one 287 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: more time for those in the back, the nerve of 288 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: you who do not sign the front of any paycheck 289 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: to look down on anybody because they can't work from home. 290 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: I could pull a Dame Dash and tell you where 291 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: you should have been your own boss. But see, I 292 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: know that everybody is not an entrepreneur. I know that 293 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: everybody don't need to be their own boss, and I 294 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: know that if everybody took Dame Dashes concept, then guests 295 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: who will be working for Dame Dash nobody, he wouldn't 296 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: have anybody working for him. It sounds good on the videos, 297 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: it sounds good to inspire you, but at the end 298 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: of the day, somebody gotta work for Dame Dash. So 299 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: I believe and showing respect to those that get the 300 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: job done.

It's why I thought why 307 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: I knew I could do staffing better than Robert having 308 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: a DECO because I believe in a horizontal organization.

But 327 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: I had to be concerned with Aeron Clark, who had 328 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: just did ten years and was doing a job the 329 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: righteous way and was willing, was humble enough, unlike some 330 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: of y'all, humble enough to go shake a bell at 331 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: the Salvation Army until things got right. Somebody had to 332 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: speak up for Aaron. Now, I could have took the 333 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: attitude that a lot of y'all have and say, well, ship, 334 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: I'm getting mine, so what do it matter? But I 335 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: had to speak up for Aaron Clark because who was 336 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: gonna stand up for Ayer and Clark. And then not 337 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: only did I get that accomplished for my employees making 338 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: sure they got vouchers for electric uh food in their pantry, 339 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: all types of stuff during the holiday season, it also 340 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: opened up the door not just for mine, but everybody 341 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: who worked at the m Way, which was over employees 342 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: because I decided to have the audacity and the balls 343 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: to speak up. So when I'm speaking up for things, understand, 344 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: it's not for me, It's for THEE. Can I say 345 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: it again, It's not for me, It's for THEE, for 346 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 1: the least of these, those that do not have. And 347 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: can I tell you something else? Why are we going 348 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 1: into the word? Can I tell you when I came 349 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: up with that whole concept? Since we got the witness 350 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: right here in the comments. When I came up with 351 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: the concept, Lord give me something that that are that 352 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 1: are that are making pop that the media pays too. 353 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: I named it assist the bench, meaning we have to 354 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,360 Speaker 1: take care of those on the bench. Can I tell 355 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: you when I came up with that concept? Since a 356 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: lot of y'all shouted out Spud, I did that the 357 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: weekend that I went to see him in Beaumont, Texas, 358 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: when he was doing federal time, and in the when 359 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: you go see your loved ones, there was a nursing home, 360 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 1: old nursing home that was about that was across the 361 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: street from the prison, and they allowed you to stay 362 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: there so that you didn't have to drive way to 363 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: a hotel somewhere, and you could be their first person 364 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: in line, which I was always the first person in line, 365 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 1: by the way, and be right across the street from 366 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: your loved ones. So while I was saying this ain't 367 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: about bragg and this is about calling you guys out 368 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: on your humility and your empathy. While I was figuring 369 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: it out for the people in Orlando, I was at nighttime, 370 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: that was the night that I was in uh waiting 371 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: to see Spud the next day in prison. And I 372 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 1: used my time waiting to see him um to figure out. Oh, 373 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: let me say that again. I used my time waiting 374 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: to see him who was doing time, to figure out 375 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 1: how to make somebody else's time better? Can I say 376 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: it one more time? While I was waiting to see 377 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: somebody doing time, I was figuring out how to make 378 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: somebody else's time better. And I was using my personal 379 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: time to do it and at that particular time for 380 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: those of you this morning and said, Wow, you know 381 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: I really love spuzz interview. He's really grown as a person. 382 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: Can I tell you what he was saying then? Because 383 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: he wasn't saying what he's saying now. He asked, why 384 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: are you using your time? Shout out to you, Greg, 385 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: Why are you using your time worried about people that 386 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: can never do nothing for you? Can I say it again? 387 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: He'll tell you. We've talked about it. He's in the comments. 388 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: He said, why are you spending your time? Oh, strangers 389 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: who ain't gonna do nothing for you, who don't have 390 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 1: your back? Because he was speaking from a place of 391 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: people that he thought had loved that didn't show love. 392 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: Can see you start feeling that way after you start 393 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: doing ten, twelve, fifteen years, People that you thought had 394 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: love that didn't have love, People that you thought we 395 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: wasn't gonna set you up, That set you up. So 396 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: you speak from a place of resentment and pain and 397 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: fuck them if I'm gonna worry about me. But I 398 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: said a nonsput. See I still got to worry about 399 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: that because see the nerve of you, because I'm coming 400 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: here to visit you. See, I could think that way 401 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: about him and say, well, why am I coming to 402 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: spend my time and getting on the play fift ndred 403 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: miles away to come see you and be the first 404 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: one when they call out when they call see. It 405 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 1: meant a lot to him when he would when they 406 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: would call you out. See, unless you ever want to 407 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: see somebody in in in federal prison, not jail, Unless 408 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: you ever want to see somebody in federal prison, then 409 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: you don't know what I'm talking about. But when they 410 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: have count time, it takes count time stops the whole 411 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: thing where they gotta count and see who's here, and 412 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 1: this and that and it. It can take like a 413 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: whole hour away from your time. So really important that 414 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: for spun for me to be right there as soon 415 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: as the gates open, so that he didn't get caught 416 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: up in count time. I got a word for that too, 417 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: Can I say it again? It was important for him 418 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: that I was there so he didn't get caught up 419 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: in count time. So when I am advocating for other people, 420 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: I am trying to make sure that people don't get 421 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 1: caught up in the count time. I'm preaching the word today, 422 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: I am trying to make sure that people don't get 423 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: caught up in the count time. And guess what I'm not. 424 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: I don't have to do no count time. So I 425 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 1: can come from a place of arrogance and ignorance and 426 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: lack of empathy to say, shoul well, hey, I get there, 427 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,959 Speaker 1: when you get there, you see me, when you see me. 428 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: I don't have to rush and be the first one there. 429 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: The fact that you're even telling me what time to 430 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: be here to nerve you. But I understood the importance 431 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: for him to get every single minute that I was 432 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: there visiting him. I knew the importance of making sure 433 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: that I was the first one there and bringing in 434 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: twenty dollars worth the quarters. Can I have a witness? 435 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 1: If maybe ain't nothing, y'all want to see nobody. But 436 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: it was important to have twenty dollars worth the quarters. 437 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: And I went and got all the stuff in the 438 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: venom machine to make sure that his spread was laid out. 439 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: Made sure because I know he liked the chicken wings. 440 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: Made sure I know he liked the nachos, made sure 441 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: I know he liked to have two or three orange juices. 442 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: Made sure, okay, we make sure I get that fruit punch. 443 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: Let me make sure that I'm able to go before 444 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: everybody gets here and lay out what you don't get 445 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: behind the wall. See that's what I do in politics. 446 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: I'm laying out what you don't get behind the wall. 447 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: So when somebody comes say where you should be, we're 448 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: talking about people that work from home, and it just 449 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: go with the territory. No, no, no, I'm talking about 450 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 1: the people that don't have the opportunity. And it's not 451 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: the time for you to speak up and do all 452 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 1: lives matter because I'm at your peer home. Me, I'm 453 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: not your colleague home. Because I'm a boss. I don't 454 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: work in no office period. And guess what, being a 455 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: boss is always available. If you want to come on 456 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: this side, you want to come on the grind side, 457 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: then come on over, because you're gonna pay you on taxes. 458 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: You're gonna get laid off every thirty days, every time 459 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: a contract in you're laid off. You're gonna have to 460 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: make sure that you take care of your own health 461 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: care benefits. It ain't no PTO. It's working. It's grinding. 462 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: You can't get no help to ever really grow because 463 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: every time you try to hire somebody that half as 464 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: do the job. You gotta fire, you gotta whatever. You're 465 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: gonna be staggnant. It may take you twenty years before 466 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: you are a hundred percent profitable. So y'all ain't ready 467 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: for that boss life. So the nerve of you to 468 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: work in anybody's office and look down on somebody that 469 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 1: can't work in the office, the nerve of you, the 470 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: audacity of you. So when I say that we need 471 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: other solutions, working from home is one, But I also 472 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: proposed perhaps we should be having conversations about a gas stipen, 473 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: because what about people that even in the office still 474 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: need to get to work. They still gotta go to work, 475 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: Unless you'all know about some gas station that's only gonna 476 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: be available for people that can't work from home. What 477 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: about the manual labor people They gotta drive to the warehouse. 478 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 1: They still gotta pay high gas. So are you saying 479 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: to hell with them? Is that what you're saying? As 480 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: long as I got mine, I'm good. You better hope 481 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: that I don't never get like that. You better hope 482 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 1: that a lot of people in the in the move 483 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: and never get like that. Because if I was just 484 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: about me, baby, I wouldn't be uh, I wouldn't be 485 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: pushing for none of this. I wouldn't be pushing for 486 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: mass incarceration. I've never been locked up, I've never been arrested. 487 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: I don't have no felony. So what do Why?

Before my dad lost his way, 505 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: he was a sky cap. You'll know what the sky 506 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: cap is. I know a lot of people don't even 507 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: really know what the sky cap is because we don't 508 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: use them anymore. But there are the people at the 509 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: airport that carry your bags. So before my dad lost 510 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: this way, that's what he did. My mom was a 511 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: secretary at a new station, which is why I've always 512 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: been around TV. But she still was a secretary. She 513 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: wasn't a boss. My paternal grandfather worked at the post office. 514 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 1: My paternal grandmother drove the school bus and worked in 515 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 1: the cafeteria after she drove a school bus. My maternal 516 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: grandmother was a beautician, never worked for anybody, always owned 517 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 1: her own business. She was on her feet all day. 518 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: My maternal grandfather owned his own business, never worked for anybody. 519 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 1: He was a mechanic, on his feet all day. My 520 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: aunt right now, my closest aunt, worked for twenty five years. 521 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: Half of the day, seven to two she was an 522 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: orderly taken care of uh elder people and change you 523 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: know Sienna type work, and then from three to midnight 524 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 1: she cleaned hospital floors. Twenty five something plus years.

She got a groove on. What 572 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: I'm saying is she wasn't selling her body, selling ads 573 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: to be able to put food on the table. That's 574 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So what I'm not gonna do is 575 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: disrespect her memory, her legacy, the people that poured into 576 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: me when I had nothing. To make you feel better 577 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: about you having an opportunity to work from home. Two 578 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: things can be done at the same time. I can 579 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: advocate for you to be to work from home the 580 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: same time, and I also can advocate for those who can't. 581 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: It's going to be both around this bitch. And if 582 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: you don't like it, then go talk to your peers. 583 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: Because I'm not your peer or your colleague. Go talk 584 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: to somebody else because you don't need to be trying 585 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: to encourage me to not advocate for things that don't 586 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: affect me, because if that's the case, I wouldn't advocate 587 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: for a whole bunch of ship. When early when Chrisy said, oh, 588 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: I love the fact that you always bring up Spun 589 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: and I always talk about him, I'm glad that she 590 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: loved that, But I don't have no choice even get 591 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: on my nerves. We stay. I stayed blocking him in 592 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: out all that he'll tell you get straight up on 593 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,479 Speaker 1: my nerves. Somebody earlier said, oh, man, he's really grown, 594 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: and he's this, and that it wasn't always like that, 595 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: and he's still growing. But you know why I always 596 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: talk about but because how can I forget? How can 597 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: I forget when I wrecked my car in and I 598 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: couldn't page my mama or my stepdaddy, or my grandma 599 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: or my grandpa or my aunt, nobody in my family, 600 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: and when it was time to get the car told 601 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: this happened twice, by the way, it was Spun that 602 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: I called. He's the one that stopped doing what he 603 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: was doing to come over and meet me on a 604 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: hundred twenty second and pin and made sure that my 605 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: car got told to my grandfather's shop, who owned the 606 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: shop which you didn't fix the car by the way, 607 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: because he wasn't a body working. But I'm just giving 608 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: you context to the story. So how can I forget that? 609 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: How can I forget that it's personal to me? How 610 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: can I forget When um and I was talking to 611 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: a friend of my another, they said, yeah, but you know, 612 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: you really don't owe anybody anything, And I said, that's 613 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: easy to say, sis, because you've always had your parents 614 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: who were able and willing to help. But when you've 615 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: literally had nobody, and it's not that you don't have family. 616 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: It takes two things, willing to do it and the 617 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: capacity to do it. The capability to do it, meaning 618 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: you can want to help, but if you're broke, what 619 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: can you do to help? So it's the harmies in 620 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: the street to help. So it's not glorifying gang banging, 621 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: glorifying that life. No, I am recognizing that without him 622 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: and two others by the way, I wouldn't have had 623 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: the opportunity to do the things that I did because 624 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: if Spund wasn't it, Spun didn't come bless me when 625 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to move to Dallas and didn't have nothing, 626 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: didn't have a job, didn't have a place to stay, 627 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: was being a waitress. For those of you who are 628 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: above waitressing, didn't have nothing, met a complete stranger. She 629 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: told me, hey, you can stay on my cast for 630 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: three hundred dollars a month. My husband just walked out 631 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: on me, So you can pay that and I'm gonna 632 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: help you get on that guy code when she did. 633 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: By the way, that was the first time I ever 634 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: had one job to pay all the bills. It was 635 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: spun that gave me the money to turn in the 636 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: car that I just because I wrecked my car. So 637 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: I was in a rent a car. I was driving 638 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: around a rent a car for like two three months. 639 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: The bill was high as hell. I didn't have no 640 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: to three thousand dollars to turn in, so I just 641 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: kept driving it aimless until I could figure it out. 642 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: Can I give a word on that. Sometimes you just 643 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: gotta keep driving until you figure it out. And while 644 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: you're driving when the gas price is so high, do 645 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: you do under the pressure? Going back to two thousand 646 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: and eight, when it was the recession, when when they 647 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: said ain't nobody hiring, I still started the staff and firm. 648 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: Under the pressure. Some of you that gotta get a 649 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: check every two weeks you could never work under the 650 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: pressure that I do. So the nervo you to look 651 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: down on anybody, the nerve of you. That's why humility 652 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: is coming.

You did time to Nyca, So 682 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 1: who are you to talk about what other niggas doing 683 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: when you did time on you ain't did no time. 684 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 1: So the nerve of you, y'all gotta always remember this 685 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: levels to this ship. Somebody said, Spud your role model 686 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: for women and men. Thank you for your testimony. Yeah, 687 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: the nervou you and that testimony that y'all here is 688 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 1: Spud do Uh. That wasn't always this testimony. Somebody had 689 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: to have a conversation with him to let him see 690 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: what he did not see. Guess who that somebody was? 691 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 1: It was me. But you know why I was at 692 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 1: somebody because he would leave to me when my aunt said, no, 693 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: you probably should move. It's a bad sign. You got 694 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 1: in a car accident. Whyn't you stay home? Because she 695 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: never pushed herself outside of her conference zone. So I 696 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: pushed myself up my conference zone and it was spun 697 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 1: that looked out. And then when I went up, when 698 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: I went out, it was L who was a crip. 699 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 1: Y'all noticed fuzz of blood and we make no it 700 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: is what it is. It was L who was a 701 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 1: crip that I said, Hey, can you take care of 702 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: my apartment for three months while I go to Dallas? 703 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: Take care of my apartment? Because I've never had a 704 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: co signer in my life, not even my mama. She 705 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 1: refused to do with my mama was tough on you 706 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: for real. So L, hey take care of my apartment 707 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: for three months while I go do this. And he 708 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: went and took care of the apartments for three months, 709 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: and guess what happened. This is a real true testimony. 710 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: When you're doing time, and it before they ship you 711 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: off to do your time, you know a lot of time, 712 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: people that know people to do penitentiary time, you get 713 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 1: moved around a lot, and sputing l ended up being 714 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: at the same place at the same time and one 715 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: particular time, and they had a conversation about me and 716 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 1: how proud they were of me and the things that 717 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 1: I'm doing and so forth. And guess what, Neither one 718 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 1: of them was my man. Just in case y'all wondering, 719 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 1: neither one of them was my man. I didn't have 720 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 1: to give them none, didn't have to do all of that. 721 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,840 Speaker 1: We can have that conversation another time, because I know 722 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 1: y'all think, and she'd probably no, I was just a 723 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 1: dying piece. And Spud just always looked out. That's just 724 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 1: he is. What it did. He did say he was 725 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: gonna give me one day, but if that particular time, 726 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,879 Speaker 1: he was not my man. So it's called heaven. It's 727 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: called the homies respecting you and what you're doing and 728 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: where you're trying to go. This is why when people 729 00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,439 Speaker 1: dis people like that, they don't know everything about them, 730 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: and they don't know that although they've made mistakes, they've 731 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 1: also invested in people like me. But you don't know 732 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 1: that because you've never had a conversation with your cousin 733 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: or whoever it is. And because nobody looked out for you, 734 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: you have resentment in your heart, and it stops you 735 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 1: from helping somebody else. And see, I can have resentment 736 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 1: to and say, well, my mamma didn't help me, and 737 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: my dad didn't help me. Y'all just need to figure 738 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 1: it out. But see I didn't do that because I 739 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: asked asked the Lord to remove resentment from your heart 740 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,359 Speaker 1: so that you can have empathy for somebody else. Because 741 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 1: the moment you have empathy for somebody else is the 742 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 1: moment that your blessing will come through and bless you. 743 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: But you cannot trick the system. When y'all say, well, 744 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 1: I'm blessing him because I figured it about bless him, 745 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get blessed. See that's called tricking the system. 746 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: So you can't trick God. He know that if you're 747 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: doing it just for an ulterior motive to be able 748 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: to get something back, you're not gonna do it. It 749 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 1: has to be He's not gonna do it. It has 750 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 1: to be from sincerity. You really kind of gotta give 751 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: a damn. He knows your heart better than anybody, so 752 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to trick them in the system. 753 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: The third god that helped me during that time Jose 754 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: sold big weed Mexican. Jose. When I went to the military, 755 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: it was Jose that took paid care of took care 756 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: of all of my credit cards and paid my card 757 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 1: not for three months. Because my car no. Was five 758 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 1: hundred and something dollars. Basic training was only six hundred dollars. 759 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,240 Speaker 1: I couldn't afford to do both. So it was Jose 760 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 1: selling big weed from Mexico that took care of them. 761 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 1: Says thank you to everybody who's in the comments. So 762 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 1: how can I forget the blood and the cript in 763 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 1: the Mexican even though I advocate black, How can I 764 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,920 Speaker 1: forget that? I can't forget it. So that's why you 765 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 1: hear me talk about mass incarceration for a first time 766 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: non violent offenders. Was the first time non violent offender 767 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,920 Speaker 1: who was sentenced to seventeen years. First time non violent 768 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 1: never caught what in a conspiracy through the War on 769 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: drugs the Crime Bill. So when I'm talking about the 770 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 1: crime Bill, it's personal to me and you're never gonna 771 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: be able to get me to see otherwise, And it 772 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,799 Speaker 1: don't have nothing to do with no Trump and you're 773 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 1: trying to help Trump. I don't give a shit about Trump. 774 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 1: I'm talking about nineteen ninety four when I met this man. 775 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. And I'm talking about Biden 776 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 1: and Trump. So y'all just start paying attention to this. 777 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: I'm talking about that, and I'm talking about the last 778 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 1: just even being reconnected to him the last eleven years, 779 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,360 Speaker 1: watching him do time behind the wall, and what that 780 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 1: does to you mentally, physically, emotionally, watching your sons grow up, 781 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: all of that, And I know something of y'all say, well, 782 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 1: he should have made a better choice. Nobody disagrees with that. 783 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 1: He will tell you, he will tell you. I absolutely 784 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 1: take responsibility for my crime. What I ain't saying is 785 00:39:55,120 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 1: is it necessary to over sentence, over punish, to take 786 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 1: damn near twenty years with somebody's life for a non 787 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: violent crime on the correct cocaine disparage e when people 788 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: that sell cocaine didn't even get half that time. So 789 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: when you hear me talking about that, you know that 790 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,439 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about violent finis I'm not talking about 791 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,400 Speaker 1: everything all the way across the board. I'm talking about 792 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:30,439 Speaker 1: one particular situation with the crime being but y'all don't 793 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,719 Speaker 1: read that. Y'all don't listen to that, because all you 794 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 1: see is the caption, are the quote that I'm making. 795 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,840 Speaker 1: You immediately go on the comments needing to be heard. 796 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 1: And I know why you need to be heard. You 797 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 1: need to be heard because you feel nobody around you 798 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 1: was listening. Can I say it again, You need to 799 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,760 Speaker 1: be heard because you feel nobody's listening. Nothing not listening 800 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 1: to you on your job that I listened to you 801 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,799 Speaker 1: at home. Your family don't listen to you. So you 802 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,399 Speaker 1: sit up all day long and volunteer your comments all 803 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,799 Speaker 1: day long, opposing people like me, not realizing I'm trying 804 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 1: to make sure that you're hurt. I'm trying to make 805 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: sure that you're heard. And so that's what I do. 806 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 1: And when I'm speaking for people, it's not from my 807 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 1: own personal experience, it's from the experiences of others, because 808 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 1: in the end, I want to be found righteous. Righteous 809 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 1: don't mean perfect. It means Matthew, that says, what did 810 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 1: you do? I'm paraphrasing what did you do when they 811 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,800 Speaker 1: were in prison? What did you do when they were homeless. 812 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,360 Speaker 1: Did you give them a shirt? Did you go see them? 813 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 1: Did you give them food? What did you do? And 814 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 1: y'all can say, well, I reached out to such and 815 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 1: such a DM and she never got back in.

I had to 822 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: prove myself time and time again. It wasn't no college friends, 823 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,319 Speaker 1: it wasn't no sorority sisters. It wasn't no daddy, It 824 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,359 Speaker 1: wasn't no mama, it wasn't no family. Did nobody put 825 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,280 Speaker 1: me in this game? It's called hustling, It's called muscle 826 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,720 Speaker 1: and hustle.

Wasn't nobody listening. 833 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 1: I wasn't worried about who was listening. I was worried 834 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,239 Speaker 1: about making sure that I put it out in the atmosphere. 835 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: That's your problem. You only want to respond when somebody 836 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 1: listening and giving you an applause all the time.

And 1002 00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,080 Speaker 1: it's important that every time I get on the microphone, 1003 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,360 Speaker 1: I'm able to spend every conversation into black people. So 1004 00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:16,239 Speaker 1: that's why I met Black News Channel. So that's what 1005 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:17,799 Speaker 1: it is.

You' 1027 00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,759 Speaker 1: are the ones that went crazy on the pandemic, not me, 1028 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 1: because I've been self employed, so I know what it means. 1029 00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:16,759 Speaker 1: I know how to go get it. Hi, I live it. 1030 00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,799 Speaker 1: And when I say hi, I live it, that means 1031 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:24,000 Speaker 1: I I live below my means Yeah, yeah, yeah, I 1032 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:25,640 Speaker 1: know what I mean. To work one and two and 1033 00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,000 Speaker 1: three jobs. Some of y'all barely make it to one, 1034 00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,880 Speaker 1: so you can never make it two or three. Every 1035 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:36,520 Speaker 1: opportunity in your life you've let by pass, you do 1036 00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:38,920 Speaker 1: I say that to y'all on Instagram. But I could 1037 00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,160 Speaker 1: get paid to say it well on Fox because they 1038 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,160 Speaker 1: would love for me to talk about how black people 1039 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,000 Speaker 1: need to pull themselves up bout the bootstrap. But I 1040 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:46,840 Speaker 1: talked about that on my podcast with you and I 1041 00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:51,000 Speaker 1: and you know this conversation we're having not on national TV. 1042 00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,680 Speaker 1: But the reality of it is, some of y'all do 1043 00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 1: need to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and your 1044 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,320 Speaker 1: spare time. You should be working another job and another 1045 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,200 Speaker 1: one and another one until you get to where you 1046 00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 1: need to be. Well they should. I shouldn't be having 1047 00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,560 Speaker 1: to work two jobs. That's capitalism and that's the problem. Now, 1048 00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:13,239 Speaker 1: well guess what we're in. Capitalism. That's what it is. 1049 00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,759 Speaker 1: That's what it's gonna be until it changed. So until then, 1050 00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,080 Speaker 1: get your grass up and go get something. And if 1051 00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 1: you don't want nothing, if mediocracy is fine for you, 1052 00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:30,640 Speaker 1: then just say that. I'm cool with the minimum. Somebody's 1053 00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,120 Speaker 1: asking who owns BNC network? What does it matter?

I say what I say on BNC, Fox, MSNBC. 1056 00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,839 Speaker 1: See that type of ship. I know what those talking points. Oh, 1057 00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,399 Speaker 1: but it's owned by a minority, is not one black 1058 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,919 Speaker 1: by the way, but it's other people only who give 1059 00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,000 Speaker 1: a damn?

I don't get 1075 00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,520 Speaker 1: paid on YouTube. You know how I can prove it 1076 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,040 Speaker 1: my YouTube channel, and you gotta do is go look 1077 00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:42,440 Speaker 1: it up. You can look up and see if somebody 1078 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,760 Speaker 1: getting something on YouTube. By the way, my YouTube channel 1079 00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,880 Speaker 1: that probably only has about four thousand subscribers. All of 1080 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:52,759 Speaker 1: those clips are from TV from my TV clips, and 1081 00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,840 Speaker 1: you can't get paid off of reproducing. It has to 1082 00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,000 Speaker 1: be original content. Now. I do have another YouTube page 1083 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,160 Speaker 1: that I started Callstration No Chasing, where I am gonna 1084 00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,239 Speaker 1: start uploading my videos, and yes, that possibly could make money, 1085 00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,040 Speaker 1: but guess what, it's only one video on it. I 1086 00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:09,000 Speaker 1: don't even have the time to upload it. So I 1087 00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,120 Speaker 1: say again, I'm not getting paid off this game. There's 1088 00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:14,000 Speaker 1: literally no motivation, literally, no one sending behind it at all. 1089 00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,239 Speaker 1: I don't know, y'all. We're not gonna hang out, We're 1090 00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:17,880 Speaker 1: not gonna go nowhere together. You're not gonna be my 1091 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,879 Speaker 1: best friend. There's literally I'm just giving you the truth. 1092 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:21,920 Speaker 1: User loser can't make you choose it. It's up to you, 1093 00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,759 Speaker 1: So be careful when you're hearing. Oh yeah, but they 1094 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,919 Speaker 1: own this and that because a lot of the people 1095 00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,160 Speaker 1: that are saying that they're getting paid off YouTube, and 1096 00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,919 Speaker 1: who own YouTube? The white man. Oh but I'm free, 1097 00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:33,200 Speaker 1: I can say what I want to say on YouTube. 1098 00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,280 Speaker 1: Not really, because they pulled down videos all the time. 1099 00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:41,200 Speaker 1: So white supremacist in charge of this ship period. And 1100 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,080 Speaker 1: when y'all hear things like, oh, because you hear somebody 1101 00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:45,800 Speaker 1: on TV, Oh, he's saying that because he worked that, 1102 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,000 Speaker 1: it's not true. That's not how the news business works. 1103 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,720 Speaker 1: They don't tell you what to say. It's live. Nobody's 1104 00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:58,480 Speaker 1: ever told me what to say. So those who say 1105 00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,440 Speaker 1: that don't really know much about the news business. And 1106 00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:04,040 Speaker 1: you know, it's interesting, I've seen some of these same 1107 00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:05,960 Speaker 1: people talk that ship. But the minute the news call 1108 00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:07,640 Speaker 1: them and say we want you to come on gets, 1109 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,759 Speaker 1: look how fast they'll be running, going to get the 1110 00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,759 Speaker 1: hair cut and their outfits and all of that. So 1111 00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,319 Speaker 1: you gotta be careful, like how you who you're listening to, 1112 00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:18,279 Speaker 1: and know that everybody has a motive and it could 1113 00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:20,200 Speaker 1: be a good motive, a bad motive doesn't have to 1114 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,840 Speaker 1: be negative. But everybody got an agenda. And if you 1115 00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,920 Speaker 1: don't have an agenda, if you don't have an agenda, 1116 00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,200 Speaker 1: then you're not focused because you should have an agenda 1117 00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,439 Speaker 1: and all things that you do, everything should be an agenda. Meaning, Okay, 1118 00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,440 Speaker 1: I'm I'm planning to go to the grocery store. My 1119 00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,279 Speaker 1: agenda is to get this, this, this, and I'm gonna 1120 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,520 Speaker 1: do this like, hav an agenda, be focused, don't be aimed, 1121 00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:42,120 Speaker 1: don't just be aimlessly, so running around aimlessly, nothing's wrong 1122 00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,359 Speaker 1: with have an agenda. Okay. So the people that you're 1123 00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,160 Speaker 1: listening to it that's talking about who on B and 1124 00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:48,480 Speaker 1: C and why they don't this and this and that 1125 00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:50,239 Speaker 1: they're trying to get you to watch their being c 1126 00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:52,640 Speaker 1: their YouTube, their channel because they make money off of it. 1127 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,000 Speaker 1: That's just the reality. And it don't mean that they 1128 00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,080 Speaker 1: don't bring up great points, because they do. They bring 1129 00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,239 Speaker 1: up great points. But as soon as somebody black want 1130 00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:03,919 Speaker 1: to put their money up, I'm more too happy to join. 1131 00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,120 Speaker 1: Oh guess what somebody did do that at Revoked TV 1132 00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,239 Speaker 1: owned by Puff hundred sent black own and y'all don't 1133 00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:12,200 Speaker 1: support that either. Oh yeah, but we don't like Puff 1134 00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:13,920 Speaker 1: because he did this and that. Okay, we'll see you're 1135 00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,040 Speaker 1: not happy about nothing then, So this ain't really about 1136 00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:18,359 Speaker 1: if who own it.
