Again
26
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Picking up from last week's conversation
27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
It was basically
28
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
A situation of just basically speaking
29
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
On different ways especially for Blacks
30
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Black people to be heard
31
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
To
32
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
I mean there's a lot of lanes for us to get into
33
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
But one of those lanes a lot of us
34
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Do not choose to get into one is due to
35
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
As I say government roles especially
36
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Seats and
37
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Seats in the council and all that stuff like that
38
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
I mean it's a lot of us it's a lot of things
39
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
That we can do to help
40
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Because a lot of us have the
41
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Knowledge especially
42
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
As I call it
43
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
The hood mentality
44
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
I hate to say it that way but the hood mentality
45
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Especially those that are coming out of the hood
46
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Can help
47
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
A lot
48
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
A whole lot
49
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Fix a lot of the problems that
50
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
We miss out on
51
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Some miss out on that they
52
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Don't know about it because they didn't live through it
53
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
They didn't go through they don't understand
54
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
They didn't understand that struggle so that struggle has to be
55
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
You know can be spoken
56
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Up on and at least something
57
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Give some advice to help it
58
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Fix it as I always say what's the use
59
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Of talking about something if you can't come up with a solution
60
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
You know if you
61
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Ain't gonna speak on it and speak on it with knowledge
62
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
And power like I mean how can we
63
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Fix it you know so
64
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000

I really want to talk to you
117
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Talk about some issues you know
118
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Like your boy
119
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
That we met through your cousin
120
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000
I can't remember his name
121
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000
But how he said he used to go
122
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Down and talk and get in front
123
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Of the council boards
124
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
And you know speak to it speak to it
125
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
You'll be one of those people sitting up there in one of them
126
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Seats you get what I'm saying
127
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
That would be dope bro
128
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000
The way you feel
129
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
And those people that come in
130
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Like you you can hear them
131
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
And you can really push it
132
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
That's what I need too
133
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Because I think I got that mentality
134
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000
You know I got that voice like
135
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
You say you talk you speak up
136
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000
You're not like a
137
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
You're not putting yourself
138
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
You're not doing this for no
139
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Reason it really affects you
140
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
It helps you learn
141
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
It helps you be in front of cameras
142
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
It helps you be in the spotlight
143
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
It helps you do all of that stuff
144
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,000
That wouldn't be the strain
145
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
The strain would be pushing the agendas
146
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
That need to be pushed
147
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Let me keep reading
148
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
That
149
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Yeah
150
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Councilwoman for four years
151
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Since then she's led the city through
152
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Times both trying and
153
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Triumphant
154
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
That includes strengthening the city's connection
155
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
With the corporate community
156
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
To create more jobs
157
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Helping coordinate citywide response
158
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
To the coronavirus
159
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
And most recently
160
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Signing a proclamation
161
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Declaring racism a public health
162
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Crisis
163
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Look at that
164
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
See what I'm saying
165
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
The city of Charlotte needs it
166
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
The city of Statesville needs it
167
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Concord needs it
168
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Lake Norman needs it
169
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
All of these
170
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
So when is all this going to affect
171
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
All of this
172
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
What she's done
173
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Is it in effect now?
174
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
All of this stuff
175
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Is solid
176
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Because she dealt with a lot
177
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Situation when the coronavirus came
178
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000
And the city
179
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000
So how does
180
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Her law affect it?
181
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Which means a public health crisis
182
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
A public health crisis
183
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Because
184
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
I'm saying what does it help
185
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
What does it do actually
186
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
But what I feel especially with the
187
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Case of
188
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
How black people
189
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Can't get certain
190
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Health
191
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Coverages
192
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Things remember Trump took away
193
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Obamacare
194
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
All that stuff went out the window
195
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
That's what she
196
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000
That part right there where a lot of
197
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Black folk who don't have insurance
198
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
But see look
199
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
This is the thing I know you're reading
200
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
But I never had an issue with
201
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Black people getting help
202
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Black people getting help
203
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000
My issue was
204
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Certain
205
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Blacks got left out
206
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Middle class I say
207
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
You're making too much
208
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
You don't have kids
209
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
The kids don't live with you
210
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
You know what I'm saying
211
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
You work so it's like
212
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
We don't deserve help either even though
213
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000
We're barely making it and we're working
214
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
You get what I'm saying so I wanted
215
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Some laws that would help those
216
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Like me and I'm in that category
217
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Like you know people that
218
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Need help too but work also
219
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Get up and make a living and go out and get it
220
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Let me tell you what I think Trump is
221
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000
The biggest problem this is the biggest
222
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Thing
223
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
This is the hardest thing
224
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
We get left out man
225
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
I'm going to say you feel that
226
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
There's this thing of like
227
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000
They're left out but I don't think it is the case
228
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000
I'm going to tell you why
229
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
They feel that the average
230
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
They go off of the case
231
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Of the average
232
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Living situation right
233
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
So the average
234
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
The average individual
235
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Is only going to make somewhere
236
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Along the lines of about 30
237
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
To about $50,000 a year right
238
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
So
239
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Depends on where you at right
240
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
The average person
241
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Really can live
242
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Off of $35,000
243
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
A year
244
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Can I cut in? Yeah
245
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
So if a person
246
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
You just said a person can do that
247
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
So they will make laws
248
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000
For example for people that don't make that
249
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Are you know qualified
250
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
For these assistance
251
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Might handicap people
252
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000
That can do it
253
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Not to go out there and actually do it
254
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
You know what I'm saying
255
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000
So they like I'm not going to get a job so I can get this
256
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Assistance I'm going to have all these kids
257
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
And I work so I can get this
258
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Assistance so I qualify
259
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Whatever you just below the guidelines
260
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
So you can qualify
261
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
So that's where it's hurting
262
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
You get what I'm saying it's hurting
263
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000
You kind of like the system is kind of like being
264
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Used in because I don't think
265
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
They look at it like that
266
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
The city councils
267
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
They just look at it like helping people
268
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
But in the same breath
269
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000
You could be hurting people
270
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Hurt them with their work ethic
271
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Hurt them with their integrity
272
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Hurt them with oh I can actually get up and get a job
273
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
But I'm not going to do it I'm just going to
274
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Rely on handouts
275
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000
You know what I'm saying
276
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
So that's why I like what about
277
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
The people that's actually out here trying
278
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Maybe they need to focus more on them
279
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
People that's very
280
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Has integrity that gets up
281
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
And go to work and trying
282
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000
To be something in life
283
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Trying to become something trying to
284
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Be better you know what I'm saying
285
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
That's what I was saying
286
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000
And that's again
287
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000
The opinion that you feel on that
288
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000
That's totally fun
289
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000
And I could argue that see
290
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,000
That's totally fun
291
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
For me I feel
292
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
That
293
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
But I get what you saying I feel
294
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
That those who need help
295
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Genuinely go out to help
296
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
There are some
297
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Who really genuinely need it
298
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000
But then yeah there are some
299
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Who ride the system
300
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
And I'm going to get to this
301
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Is this right
302
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Because I see you speak on this a lot
303
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
It's okay for somebody
304
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
To ride the system let me tell you why
305
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Because they won't go nowhere
306
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Say it again
307
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000
You won't go anywhere
308
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,000
If you want to do better
309
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
You can do better
310
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
It's up to the individual
311
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Even if a
312
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Person chooses to go have 8 kids
313
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
But think about
314
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
The people they're hurting though
315
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
By doing this like
316
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
The households the families they are
317
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Affecting see that's
318
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000
We don't look at it like that when one
319
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Person does something
320
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
That can affect a lot of people we don't think about
321
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
How it affects the child's father
322
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Or the mother or the kids
323
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Or yeah the first thing the kids
324
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
We don't think about that
325
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
We think about this individual
326
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000
That irresponsibly went out
327
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
And had these kids and can't take care
328
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Of them and we want to get them
329
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Help we're thinking about them but what about
330
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000
The other people that's affected by their
331
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Decision making
332
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
I get what you're saying
333
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000
I'm going to say it
334
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,000
One more time it's totally
335
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Fine for people to live
336
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
That way if the government
337
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Sees that it's okay for them to live that way
338
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Guess what we're going to have
339
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000
To deal with
340
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
I mean I got you
341
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000
I get you
342
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
I get what you're saying though
343
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
You're speaking your point
344
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000
I hear your point that people
345
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Of the middle class need help too
346
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000
People that are
347
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000
I'm including you too
348
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
I hear you
349
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000
I'm including you too
350
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000
In the case of
351
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
The reason why I say that
352
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000
One is due to
353
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000
The way that they created the laws
354
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
The reason why I say they created certain laws
355
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Her law is totally different meaning
356
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000
They showing
357
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
She's showing compassion for the whole situation
358
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Of black people and the black housing
359
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Everybody is affected by this
360
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
From highest to the lowest
361
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,000
And I love that
362
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
That we're looked at a certain way
363
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
To
364
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
We're not getting certain helps that we need
365
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Due to us being
366
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000
That's what I like
367
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Due to the coronavirus
368
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000
A lot of black people died
369
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Just because they couldn't afford it
370
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
I know I had
371
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Corona relief
372
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
You could be out of work
373
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000
I caught covid was out two weeks
374
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
I got paid
375
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000
It was a thing under corona specifically
376
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Because it was a situation that was needed
377
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
It was actually needed
378
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000
It was a nationwide
379
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Worldwide
380
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
And that was a huge situation
381
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,000
So they had to pay it attention
382
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000
They had to give it a certain
383
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Because I could have lost a lot of money around that time
384
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Everybody was bad off
385
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000
I got paid, thank god
386
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Everybody was in a bad situation
387
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Because you think about it
388
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Even if you couldn't work
389
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Your job got shut down
390
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000
There was a lot of that happening in
391
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
The world, the world closed out
392
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000
And they couldn't do
393
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
No work at all
394
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
But then, like I said
395
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Those situations where we can
396
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Change those things though
397
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
We had those seats
398
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
We can go sit in these seats
399
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
We can speak our piece
400
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
If it happens, it happens
401
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
If it doesn't, it doesn't
402
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000
But at the end of the day, you got to know
403
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000
You got a chance to say it and speak it
404
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Corona made the people lazy
405
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
I'm more than help
406
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
I know I got a little lazy
407
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
But I still got my behind up and went to work
408
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
It took me a while
409
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
To get back into the groove
410
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Because I was so used to
411
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
We had time to think
412
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
We had time to actually
413
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Collect our thoughts
414
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
And really face our issues
415
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Around that time too
416
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Because when you're moving
417
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000
You kind of forget
418
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Life and what you're dealing with
419
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000
I know that's all topic
420
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Oh, it's not all topic
421
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
You're speaking good
422
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000
The good thing about all of this man
423
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Is that
424
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,000
The city
425
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
The cities and surrounding cities
426
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Of Charlotte
427
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Have suffered
428
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000
A great deal
429
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
And a great huge
430
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
In many ways
431
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Just due to a lot of the people
432
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000
That are considerably at the bottom
433
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Not speaking up
434
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000
And doing things to make
435
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000
A better situation
436
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Yes, a lot of the problems are
437
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000
In the lower class
438
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000
In the lower class, excuse me
439
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
In the lower class
440
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Due to the case of
441
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Money is a problem
442
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,000
To me
443
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
That's a
444
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Crisis that a lot of people
445
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Go through from middle class
446
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Down
447
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,000
To money
448
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
In one situation
449
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,000
I've heard people be like
450
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Well, you know man
451
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
As a black man
452
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Or as a black woman
453
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000
We struggle for this and we struggle for that
454
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Think about it like this
455
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
If you have that
456
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Struggle, take that
457
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Struggle, make sure it's unique though
458
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Make sure it's a struggle
459
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
That nobody, make sure it's
460
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Something that somebody is dealing with
461
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
A whole lot of people aren't dealing with it
462
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
And take it to the city
463
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000
And give it to them
464
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000
So you don't think Trump was trying to help the black race?
465
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
I don't know
466
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000
I'm going to be honest with you
467
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,000
I'm not talking about no other thing but money
468
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000
I'm thinking he was
469
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Trying to help everybody
470
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000
To me
471
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
It wasn't like he was just looking out for his race
472
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
To me
473
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Some may feel like he was
474
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Can I say this?
475
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Trump was hanging around
476
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Bobby Browns, Mike Tyson
477
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Mike Tyson is even on public record
478
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Saying
479
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Donald was a real one
480
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Why is it
481
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
We never heard he was racist until he got in the office?
482
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Because
483
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
We never heard he was racist until he got in the office
484
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000
So, to me
485
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
I don't think it's really
486
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000
A thing of
487
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000
You get what I'm saying?
488
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000
I'm going to tell you what I think
489
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,000
It's a thing of status
490
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000
To people who are on his level
491
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000
And who make him look good
492
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000
You got to think about
493
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Trump Towers
494
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,000
And Mike
495
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Fighting
496
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Was
497
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Both of them making money out of this
498
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Did he was hanging with them?
499
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
All kinds of people
500
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
If you got the money
501
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,000
To me it's a thing of status
502
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
If you have money
503
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
To put all of these
504
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
Out of jail
505
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
I have the black people out of jail
506
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
And probably majority of them he knew
507
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000
Ran on the streets with
508
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000
I ain't see
509
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Obama
510
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Doing none of that
511
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
I'm just being real
512
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,000
I'm saying
513
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,000
We can't sit here and say
514
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000
He hasn't done some things
515
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
To help
516
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Not just the white community
517
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
He does what he can
518
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000
For a certain amount of people
519
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Again
520
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
I still see he
521
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
If it's a thing of he wants to help
522
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Everybody
523
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Even the lower class
524
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
There are certain parts of the lower class
525
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
That he did overlook
526
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Go back to
527
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,000
What we were talking about
528
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Like
529
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Maybe he's seen
530
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
You see
531
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000
You see how
532
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Your mindset can be
533
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
With a mindset like mine
534
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
But I would never go into it like that
535
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaking from existence
536
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000
Me being middle class
537
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Like I say me getting up
538
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Blue collar working everyday
539
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Seeing somebody that's not working
540
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
I'm trying personally knowing somebody
541
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
That just don't want to work
542
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Seeing them get
543
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
All this assistance and help
544
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
When I get in a position
545
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000
You know what I'm saying
546
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000
I might take some of that anger
547
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000
That I had towards that person
548
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000
And some of that might be used on some of my decision making
549
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Like you know
550
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000
I seen people cheat the system
551
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,000
I seen people
552
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
You know what I'm saying
553
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Like he did about the border thing
554
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Like a lot of people that was coming from
555
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Over the border
556
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
A lot of crimes was happening
557
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
When they started allowing it
558
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Which came out to be true
559
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000
It's a lot of things
560
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,000
That he was doing that made sense
561
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
And I think a lot of that happens
562
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
When you experience it
563
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000
And he was a president
564
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Before a president he was a person
565
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,000
He was out there with these people
566
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
The criminals, the thugs, the good people
567
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
So he was
568
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,000
You can't say he wasn't in that
569
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000
He was around that
570
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Obama wasn't
571
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,000
I can't say he was around
572
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,000
This or that
573
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000
I'm going to tell you what the biggest problem is
574
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000
With what you just said
575
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000
What?
576
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Look at the color of the skins here
577
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000
Right?
578
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
A lot of people
579
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,000
Didn't want a
580
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Black man in that seat
581
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
That started off with that
582
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000
It's a different story
583
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000
A lot of people wanted Trump in that seat
584
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
But they didn't want
585
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Obama in that seat
586
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Obama had to go a different
587
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Angle than Trump
588
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Trump has a total
589
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Different acceptance
590
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
People of acceptance
591
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Than Obama's people of acceptance
592
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,000
He got a wider people to pick from
593
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000
That's going to help him
594
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,000
I can go get anybody out
595
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Out of jail
596
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
That's prison? That's easy
597
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000
What if it was Obama vs. Hillary?
598
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Let's switch the role
599
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
You think Obama would've won?
600
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Obama vs. Hillary?
601
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,000
That makes you think
602
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Obama
603
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Because
604
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
People didn't want a woman in that seat
605
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
People didn't want a woman in that seat
606
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
You get why I'm saying
607
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
I can take it so many ways
608
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000
That's the situation you're giving
609
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Like you just spoke on it
610
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Trump is going to be
611
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Giving a lot more leeway
612
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Because of who he is
613
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,000
I think he ran at the right time
614
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,000
He didn't want a woman
615
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,000
It ain't race involved
616
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000
It was woman vs. man
617
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Who do we prefer more
618
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,000
In the seat?
619
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,000
To me
620
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
I'm going to be honest with you
621
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000
This is the part I don't like about Trump
622
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Trump is not honest
623
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
He's not honest?
624
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
That's the only thing that hurts him
625
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
What president
626
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
You know that's completely honest
627
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,000
It's not a thing of saying
628
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,000
I know
629
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Let's speak on Trump
630
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Before we speak on any other situation
631
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Anything with politics
632
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Is always going to be questionable
633
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,000
It don't matter who you speak
634
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000
We ain't even talking about presidents
635
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,000
We talking about people above presidency
636
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000
And below presidency
637
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,000
It's a political thing
638
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
You're going to have to deal with people
639
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000
It's going to be an untrustworthy situation
640
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000
But I'm just giving you in the case of saying
641
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,000
If you're going to speak on something
642
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Especially being in their presidency
643
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000
How people felt like
644
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Biden was forgiving
645
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Loans, student loans
646
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
And a lot of people still
647
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000
Dealing and struggling with student loans
648
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000
So that
649
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
So I could
650
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Call him out in the situation too
651
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
But to me
652
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000
I'm going to say it like this
653
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,000
You have to help everybody
654
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,000
No matter what
655
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000
To me I feel like
656
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Trump has a lane to
657
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000
To
658
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
People who money
659
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000
If you got money
660
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000
You on Trump's page
661
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Trump don't like somebody that
662
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Or if you trying to make some money
663
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,000
If you trying to make some money
664
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,000
If you want to learn something
665
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
If you want opportunity
666
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000
He going to give you this opportunity
667
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,000
I feel
668
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000
What you do with it is up to you
669
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
That's what kind of president he is
670
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
On the character of the person
671
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,000
That's why I think a lot of people
672
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Don't like that kind of government
673
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000
They don't want somebody to just be like
674
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000
I'm not going to give you
675
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Free food
676
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,000
But I am going to give you this
677
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Here's the opportunity
678
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
You sign up for this and you do this
679
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000
And you will get that
680
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
People don't want to work for it
681
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
That's the thing
682
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,000
The democrats will just hand it to you
683
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
They will just give it to you
684
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Okay I'm going to give you this
685
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
But you have to do this
686
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
This step right here
687
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
You have to show you want it
688
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
A little bit
689
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
And then I give it to you
690
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000
I'm going to have to defer
691
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Republicans have given more money
692
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Republicans have given more money
693
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
To Americans
694
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Than the democrats
695
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000
I'm talking about the lower class
696
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Or the middle class
697
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
Look how much Trump gave it to you
698
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,000
That's what you want right
699
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Somebody to look out for everybody
700
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
You just said
701
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
That democrats just give away
702
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
To the lower class
703
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
To the lower class
704
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
They look out for the lower class
705
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,000
They look more out for the lower class
706
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,000
And like you say you supposed to look out for everybody
707
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
But people are left out
708
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
So in the case of that
709
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Like you just said
710
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
That's the point of what I'm saying
711
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000
So if you got somebody like Trump in office
712
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000
You cannot take away
713
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Things that people need
714
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
People needed health insurance
715
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000
He screwed a lot of people
716
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
He screwed a lot of people
717
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
With the way he switched up the whole situation
718
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000
With the way he switched up the whole situation
719
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Of how healthcare went
720
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Which is why people like
721
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
I was speaking on
722
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Vilaos takes the situation
723
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
And there's a situation where there is
724
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
It's like a racial turn
725
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,000
On certain situations
726
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,000
When it came to
727
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000
The situation of COVID right
728
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
The reason why
729
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,000
It's like
730
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000
It's like Trump knew that people were
731
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Going to need
732
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000
This vaccine shot
733
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000
He started taking away
734
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,000
All these health situations
735
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Where people could get healthcare
736
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000
And simple healthcare
737
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
And put this roadblock up and then all of a sudden
738
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Coronavirus shows up
739
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Then all these people die
740
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Look how many people died
741
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Due to Coronavirus
742
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Listen
743
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000
I ain't signing with nobody man
744
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000
But listen though
745
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Listen though
746
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000
I see his
747
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000
I see what he's trying to do
748
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,000
I see what he's trying to do
749
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,000
He's trying to get people
750
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000
To not be so
751
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Reluctant on the system
752
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000
People to be so dependent on the system
753
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,000
And the government
754
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
To get that
755
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
That's what we need
756
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
I'm talking
757
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
I'm speaking from a man that
758
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,000
That goes out and have to get it
759
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,000
The government ain't gave me ish
760
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Like you know what I'm saying
761
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Stimulus check I will give him that
762
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000
He gave me the stimulus check and that was the biggest blessing
763
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000
A lot of people asleep on that
764
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000
But that helped me a lot because
765
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Bruh that stimulus money
766
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Started me out in my savings account
767
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000
To be honest like before that
768
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
I started saving like that for real
769
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
That 300
770
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Something whatever
771
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Motivated me to stack up
772
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000
And ever since that's my turning point bro
773
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000
When my account really hit
774
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Started being effective is when I got that
775
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Stimulus check and after that my mind set
776
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Changed because when you see that in your account
777
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000
It motivates you even more
778
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Now I'm going to stack this up I'm going to save this
779
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,000
I'm not going to touch it
780
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000
I'm putting like 200 out my check
781
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Every check into my savings
782
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
A lot of people asleep on it
783
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
That helped a lot
784
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000
That stimulus helped a lot
785
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,000
You know what I'm saying
786
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,000
He's done some good things now
787
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,000
I ain't sitting here promoting nobody
788
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000
But I'm just saying we talking about government
789
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
And that kind of was a touchy subject
790
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000
Because a lot of people would
791
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Just say he's racist like come on man
792
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,000
He was around black folks
793
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,000
All the time like how do we know
794
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,000
He's racist or not
795
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
That's always
796
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Going to be the case though
797
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Black folk could be racist against his own kind
798
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000
Or white could be racist
799
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
Again if you're going to be
800
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000
All out about it be all out about it
801
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Don't give traits
802
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
And then not go all
803
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Away with it you know that's the only thing
804
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Of course being in that seat he has to
805
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,000
There's a certain line of respect that he
806
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Has to show so again
807
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000
We won't ever know I'm not going to see him pointed out
808
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
To say that he's racist or not
809
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
But there are a lot of
810
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
People who are like him
811
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000
That show tendencies
812
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
And you know
813
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,000
It's a lot to take in
814
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000
In the US now
815
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
And especially like I said
816
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
The reason why I talk about these people is Charlotte
817
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000
You know V. Lous is the one
818
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
We basically went into today
819
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000
You know like with her
820
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,000
You get in, you get in these seats
821
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Get a seat
822
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Go in
823
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Go in with a mentality
824
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Go help us out
825
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Help everybody like you said I like that
826
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Help everybody
827
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Help us out
828
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
I never said it was a problem
829
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Helping everybody bro
830
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
I was saying how
831
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Like people like me and you will feel
832
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
You see how we feel left out when
833
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000
Democrats look out for lower class
834
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,000
People or people that don't work or try to work
835
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Right you see how that feel
836
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,000
They're not looking out for everybody
837
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000
And they said what she did look she looked out
838
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,000
For everybody
839
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000
That's why I'm arguing and saying
840
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,000
I have an issue I will bring this up
841
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Look out for everybody
842
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000
You know what I'm saying I wouldn't have a problem
843
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000
You wouldn't hear me complaining if everything
844
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Applied to everybody
845
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Don't just make it applicable for one person
846
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Like why we all can't have
847
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Why it gotta be all these qualifications
848
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
For government housing
849
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,000
You know what I'm saying
850
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Like everybody can't have
851
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Need help getting a place
852
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Somewhere like
853
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,000
Why it gotta be all these stipulations
854
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000
You know what I'm saying like make it
855
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
For the people
856
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,000
That's all I'm saying
857
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,000
That's all I'm saying bro
858
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
It's a wide range of things
859
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000
To do
860
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
That we have to
861
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Need to take action
862
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
To fix
863
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
It's ugly now
864
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
That's the only thing
865
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
That's the only thing that concerns me
866
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
That's why I want to talk about
867
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000
People of the past and people who
868
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Do things and sit in seats
869
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000
That
870
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000
That
871
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Especially in our city
872
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Trying to help everybody
873
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
I would love to talk to V. Liles if that was the case
874
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000
I would love to talk to Harvey Gantt
875
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000
You see what she brought up
876
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000
To rub shoulders and
877
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Mindsets and
878
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
Hear what
879
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
People think about
880
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,000
What people they've heard
881
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,000
What they came up with
882
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000
How did they grow up?
883
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000
What did you have when you grew up?
884
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000
What things did you see that were wrong then?
885
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000
It's your mindset like my mindset
886
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000
How you feel about this situation
887
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
How do you see it now?
888
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Does it make sense to you now?
889
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,000
How much have things changed since you were young?
890
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,000
What do you think
891
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Is going to be in the next 10 years?
892
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,000
Those are the only kind of people I think
893
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,000
That we need to bring on this show
894
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000
It's got to be people
895
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
That's done some things
896
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000
It can't just be
897
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
No disrespect
898
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,000
But it's got to be somebody
899
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,000
That's attainable
900
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
And reachable
901
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
It can work
902
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
At Workable Budget
903
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
We come up with that together
904
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
I'm willing to do that
905
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,000
We need those kind of people
906
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,000
On here to speak
907
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000
And educate it
908
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
They lived it
909
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,000
And they can actually tell us
910
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Which is why I talk
911
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Very openly
912
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Trying to get into these topics
913
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Because
914
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000
We need to know where we're going
915
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000
All we know where we're going
916
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Is that we have to know where we came from
917
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
What the situation was
918
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
And I think that
919
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Plays a lot on our history
920
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Finding it
921
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
We got to dig it up
922
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
We got to be lazy
923
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
And just trying to go out the lane
924
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Of just being given the same old boring topics
925
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
That everybody always talk about
926
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
What's the use of talking to all these rappers
927
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
What's the use of talking to all these
928
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
High dollar celebs
929
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000
What are we going to gain from it?
930
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,000
They're not giving us gain
931
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
They just got out this episode
932
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
My concerns of the world
933
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000
And how I think it's effective
934
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000
And not effective
935
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
You got to CQ the
936
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Business
937
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
What you call it
938
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Political Q
939
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000
You know what I'm saying?
940
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Political Q
941
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000
It's a lot to learn
942
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Still so much to learn
943
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000
So many changes that can be done and made
944
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
The city is getting bigger and bigger
945
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000
The cities around us are getting bigger and bigger
946
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
A lot of these cities are going to touch in a minute
947
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,000
That's a good thing
948
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Especially North Carolina
949
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Especially once you hit
950
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000
Once you hit
951
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,000
The location
952
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
South Carolina is a nice spot
953
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,000
That's the middle of it
954
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Anything within an hour
955
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Charlotte, you're doing pretty good
956
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Either way you go
957
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,000
If you're going 85 South, 85 North
958
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000
77 South, 75 North
959
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Anything within an hour
960
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,000
That right there, I think all of this stuff
961
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Is eventually going to sink in
962
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000
And we're all going to get it
963
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000
And when I talk about location
964
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000
I know this is all topic
965
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000
You have people coming from all over
966
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000
To those spots
967
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000
And a lot of people
968
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Might be business savvy
969
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Business minded
970
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Like money
971
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,000
They only have money that they can
972
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Invest into these places
973
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Buildings and stuff like that
974
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
When you think about little old Statesville
975
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Where I'm from, like you say, that's on the outer
976
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,000
So nobody is really
977
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Moving to Statesville
978
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,000
Somebody that could
979
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Impactfully influence the
980
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000
City in a positive way
981
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,000
So that's what I feel
982
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Is wrong with my city
983
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,000
It's too far out
984
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,000
And nobody is thinking about
985
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Let me make Statesville home
986
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,000
I haven't heard nobody say that
987
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,000
No disrespect
988
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000
And then you have the same
989
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000
People with the same mentality
990
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Where is the growth going to come?
991
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,000
It's a city that's dying
992
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
People are dying, people are hungry
993
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Starving, you know what I'm saying
994
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,000
Hopeless mentally
995
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Feel like there's no hope
996
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
Giving up because they don't have
997
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000
No hope from
998
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,000
A person or
999
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,000
A job or
1000
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Buildings or just things to do
1001
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000
All this affects it
1002
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
So
1003
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
That's another
1004
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,000
Opportunity
1005
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Of things
1006
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,000
To
1007
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Think about too
1008
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,000
In the future
1009
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000
And this is me
1010
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,000
There's a fit for everybody
1011
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
You can't say nobody would move
1012
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,000
To this area because there are people
1013
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Living there
1014
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,000
So even like I said, when I moved to Norah
1015
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Keel, nobody was moving to Norah Keel
1016
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000
That wasn't a cool thing to do
1017
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
They're like, why are you moving out of Charlotte?
1018
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Because I want to
1019
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
To me, I mean you can live in Statesville
1020
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
To Charlotte to come to work
1021
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000
That ain't far
1022
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
I know people driving from Columbia, South Carolina
1023
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,000
To Charlotte every single day
1024
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Back and forth, every day
1025
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,000
So I can get a house in Charlotte
1026
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,000
South Carolina and
1027
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Drive to Charlotte
1028
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,000
It's not a problem to get a job in Charlotte
1029
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000
I did it, I lived in Rock Hill
1030
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,000
And drove to Charlotte every evening
1031
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000
To go to work
1032
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Every evening
1033
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,000
From 2011 all the way up to
1034
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,000
2021
1035
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,000
Yeah
1036
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,000
2021
1037
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
And you know what, my mom always say
1038
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,000
Like, the job
1039
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Get you a job that's close to
1040
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,000
That's why my mom said it was always like that
1041
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Get a job that's in your city
1042
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,000
And you know
1043
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,000
That's a lot of miles on your car
1044
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,000
That's a lot of miles
1045
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Quote on quote
1046
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,000
That's a lot of miles on your car
1047
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,000
But now I think about it, the best jobs are probably
1048
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,000
A couple miles away from you
1049
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,000
You know what I'm saying, 30 minutes
1050
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,000
20, some of the best jobs
1051
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,000
I've had have been me hitting
1052
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,000
That I-10, by-10
1053
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,000
You know what I'm saying
1054
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Those are some of the best jobs
1055
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Come on down
1056
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,000
It's plenty jobs
1057
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,000
It's plenty jobs to
1058
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Put in
1059
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,000
The faces of people
1060
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,000
You just gotta go to them sometimes
1061
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000
There's nothing wrong going to the money, you gotta drive to the money
1062
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,000
You gotta put miles on your car
1063
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,000
You gotta put miles on your car
1064
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:54,000
A car can go down on you in 100 miles
1065
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,000
A car can go down on you in 500,000 miles
1066
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,000
It doesn't switch the situation
1067
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000
A car is going to be a car
1068
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,000
It's man-made, you don't know when it's going to hit the desk
1069
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,000
It's material
1070
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,000
It's man-made
1071
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,000
It's objection is to what?
1072
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Get you where you need to go
1073
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,000
That's another topic
1074
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,000
That's a whole other topic
1075
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
That's a whole other topic
1076
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Right there
1077
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000
But again, Charlotte
1078
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,000
Let's shout out V. Liles
1079
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,000
V. Liles is the truth
1080
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Our first black female
1081
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000
I'm glad you read that
1082
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000
If you didn't get last week
1083
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,000
I did
1084
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,000
To choose to talk about Harvey B. Gantt
1085
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,000
The first black man
1086
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,000
That's the first black mayor
1087
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Of Charlotte, North Carolina
1088
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,000
So again
1089
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,000
We are definitely here
1090
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,000
We've been here
1091
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,000
We've been working within the city
1092
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,000
For years
1093
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,000
And we're finally getting those chances to get those seats
1094
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,000
So shout out to them
1095
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,000
For giving us the opportunity to do this type of stuff
1096
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Like I said
1097
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Giving opportunities for other people to say
1098
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Hey, I'm going to do that
1099
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,000
I want to get into the city and try to make a difference
1100
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,000
Again, I need to get my boy Gary in here though
1101
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Gary, I need to get you in here
1102
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,000
If nothing else
1103
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,000
I can come to you
1104
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Or whatever it is bro
1105
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Sit down and have a conversation about
1106
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Things that can help improve the city
1107
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,000
That a lot of people don't know
1108
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,000
And again, I'm seeing you being the mayor one of these days too bro
1109
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,000
So stay tuned
1110
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,000
I'm hitting up my mayor right now
1111
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,000
So I did
1112
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Stay tuned
1113
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,000
Continue
1114

Because we definitely came to talk
23
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
That's the business that's the business

00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
That's the content creation that's talk
25
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Again
26
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Picking up from last week's conversation
27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
It was basically
28
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
A situation of just basically speaking
29
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
On different ways especially for Blacks
30
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Black people to be heard
31
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
To
32
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
I mean there's a lot of lanes for us to get into
33
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
But one of those lanes a lot of us
34
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Do not choose to get into one is due to
35
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
As I say government roles especially
36
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Seats and
37
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Seats in the council and all that stuff like that
38
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
I mean it's a lot of us it's a lot of things
39
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
That we can do to help
40
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Because a lot of us have the
41
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Knowledge especially
42
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
As I call it
43
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
The hood mentality
44
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
I hate to say it that way but the hood mentality
45
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Especially those that are coming out of the hood
46
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Can help
47
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
A lot
48
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
A whole lot
49
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Fix a lot of the problems that
50
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
We miss out on
51
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Some miss out on that they
52
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Don't know about it because they didn't live through it
53
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
They didn't go through they don't understand
54
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
They didn't understand that struggle so that struggle has to be
55
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
You know can be spoken
56
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Up on and at least something
57
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Give some advice to help it
58
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Fix it as I always say what's the use
59
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Of talking about something if you can't come up with a solution
60
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
You know if you
61
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Ain't gonna speak on it and speak on it with knowledge
62
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
And power like I mean how can we
63
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Fix it you know so
64
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
One of the people I was speaking on last week
65
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Was Harvey B. Gantt him being the
66
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000

00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Let me give you the first black female
73
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000

74
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000

Her name is V. Liles
76
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000

In 2017
87
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
After having served as a city council woman
88
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
For four years now here's
89
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000
That situation of being on the council again
90
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000

She look she's working in the city of Charlotte already
93
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000
She already understands what's going on right
94
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
And here's this regular person
95
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000

00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
And does what she's supposed to do

99
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000
It's

00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
I mean what
101
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
What can hurt her? So I can use that same
102
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Mentality for Statesville city council
103
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000

People after this
110
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Look it up
111
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
I know one of the
112
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
City council
113
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000

00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Very interested in Miss Watson
116
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000
I really want to talk to you
117
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Talk about some issues you know
118
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Like your boy
119
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
That we met through your cousin
120
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000
I can't remember his name
121
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000
But how he said he used to go
122
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Down and talk and get in front
123
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Of the council boards
124
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
And you know speak to it speak to it
125
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
You'll be one of those people sitting up there in one of them
126
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Seats you get what I'm saying
127
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
That would be dope bro
128
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000
The way you feel
129
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
And those people that come in
130
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Like you you can hear them
131
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
And you can really push it
132
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
That's what I need too
133
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Because I think I got that mentality
134
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000
You know I got that voice like
135
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
You say you talk you speak up
136
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000
You're not like a
137
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
You're not putting yourself
138
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
You're not doing this for no
139
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Reason it really affects you
140
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
It helps you learn
141
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
It helps you be in front of cameras
142
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
It helps you be in the spotlight
143
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
It helps you do all of that stuff
144
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,000
That wouldn't be the strain
145
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
The strain would be pushing the agendas
146
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
That need to be pushed
147
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Let me keep reading
148
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
That
149
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Yeah
150
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Councilwoman for four years
151
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Since then she's led the city through
152
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Times both trying and
153
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Triumphant
154
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
That includes strengthening the city's connection
155
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
With the corporate community
156
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
To create more jobs
157
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Helping coordinate citywide response
158
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
To the coronavirus
159
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
And most recently
160
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Signing a proclamation
161
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Declaring racism a public health
162
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Crisis
163
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Look at that
164
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
See what I'm saying
165
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
The city of Charlotte needs it
166
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
The city of Statesville needs it
167
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Concord needs it
168
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Lake Norman needs it
169
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
All of these
170
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
So when is all this going to affect
171
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
All of this
172
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
What she's done
173
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Is it in effect now?
174
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
All of this stuff
175
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Is solid
176
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Because she dealt with a lot
177
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Situation when the coronavirus came
178
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000
And the city
179
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000
So how does
180
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Her law affect it?
181
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Which means a public health crisis
182
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
A public health crisis
183
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Because
184
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
I'm saying what does it help
185
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
What does it do actually
186
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
But what I feel especially with the
187
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Case of
188
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
How black people
189
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Can't get certain
190
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Health
191
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Coverages
192
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Things remember Trump took away
193
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Obamacare
194
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
All that stuff went out the window
195
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
That's what she
196
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000
That part right there where a lot of
197
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Black folk who don't have insurance
198
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
But see look
199
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
This is the thing I know you're reading
200
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
But I never had an issue with
201
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Black people getting help
202
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Black people getting help
203
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000
My issue was
204
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Certain
205
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Blacks got left out
206
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Middle class I say
207
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
You're making too much
208
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
You don't have kids
209
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
The kids don't live with you
210
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
You know what I'm saying
211
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
You work so it's like
212
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
We don't deserve help either even though
213
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000
We're barely making it and we're working
214
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
You get what I'm saying so I wanted
215
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Some laws that would help those
216
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Like me and I'm in that category
217
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Like you know people that
218
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Need help too but work also
219
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Get up and make a living and go out and get it
220
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Let me tell you what I think Trump is
221
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000
The biggest problem this is the biggest
222
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Thing
223
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
This is the hardest thing
224
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
We get left out man
225
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
I'm going to say you feel that
226
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
There's this thing of like
227
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000
They're left out but I don't think it is the case
228
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000
I'm going to tell you why
229
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
They feel that the average
230
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
They go off of the case
231
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Of the average
232
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Living situation right
233
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
So the average
234
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
The average individual
235
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Is only going to make somewhere
236
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Along the lines of about 30
237
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
To about $50,000 a year right
238
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
So
239
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Depends on where you at right
240
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
The average person
241
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Really can live
242
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Off of $35,000
243
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
A year
244
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Can I cut in? Yeah
245
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
So if a person
246
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
You just said a person can do that
247
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
So they will make laws
248
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000
For example for people that don't make that
249
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Are you know qualified
250
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
For these assistance
251
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Might handicap people
252
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000
That can do it
253
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Not to go out there and actually do it
254
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
You know what I'm saying
255
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000
So they like I'm not going to get a job so I can get this
256
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Assistance I'm going to have all these kids
257
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
And I work so I can get this
258
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Assistance so I qualify
259
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Whatever you just below the guidelines
260
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
So you can qualify
261
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
So that's where it's hurting
262
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
You get what I'm saying it's hurting
263
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000
You kind of like the system is kind of like being
264
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Used in because I don't think
265
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
They look at it like that
266
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
The city councils
267
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
They just look at it like helping people
268
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
But in the same breath
269
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000
You could be hurting people
270
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Hurt them with their work ethic
271
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Hurt them with their integrity
272
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Hurt them with oh I can actually get up and get a job
273
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
But I'm not going to do it I'm just going to
274
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Rely on handouts
275
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000
You know what I'm saying
276
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
So that's why I like what about
277
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
The people that's actually out here trying
278
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Maybe they need to focus more on them
279
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
People that's very
280
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Has integrity that gets up
281
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
And go to work and trying
282
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000
To be something in life
283
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Trying to become something trying to
284
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Be better you know what I'm saying
285
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
That's what I was saying
286
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000
And that's again
287
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000
The opinion that you feel on that
288
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000
That's totally fun
289
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000
And I could argue that see
290
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,000
That's totally fun
291
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
For me I feel
292
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
That
293
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
But I get what you saying I feel
294
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
That those who need help
295
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Genuinely go out to help
296
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
There are some
297
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Who really genuinely need it
298
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000
But then yeah there are some
299
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Who ride the system
300
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
And I'm going to get to this
301
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Is this right
302
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Because I see you speak on this a lot
303
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
It's okay for somebody
304
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
To ride the system let me tell you why
305
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Because they won't go nowhere
306
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Say it again
307
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000
You won't go anywhere
308
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,000
If you want to do better
309
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
You can do better
310
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
It's up to the individual
311
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Even if a
312
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Person chooses to go have 8 kids
313
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
But think about
314
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
The people they're hurting though
315
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
By doing this like
316
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
The households the families they are
317
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Affecting see that's
318
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000
We don't look at it like that when one
319
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Person does something
320
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
That can affect a lot of people we don't think about
321
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
How it affects the child's father
322
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Or the mother or the kids
323
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Or yeah the first thing the kids
324
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
We don't think about that
325
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
We think about this individual
326
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000
That irresponsibly went out
327
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
And had these kids and can't take care
328
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Of them and we want to get them
329
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Help we're thinking about them but what about
330
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000
The other people that's affected by their
331
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Decision making
332
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
I get what you're saying
333
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000
I'm going to say it
334
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,000
One more time it's totally
335
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Fine for people to live
336
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
That way if the government
337
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Sees that it's okay for them to live that way
338
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Guess what we're going to have
339
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000
To deal with
340
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
I mean I got you
341
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000
I get you
342
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
I get what you're saying though
343
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
You're speaking your point
344
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000
I hear your point that people
345
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Of the middle class need help too
346
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000
People that are
347
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000
I'm including you too
348
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
I hear you
349
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000
I'm including you too
350
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000
In the case of
351
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
The reason why I say that
352
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000
One is due to
353
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000
The way that they created the laws
354
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
The reason why I say they created certain laws
355
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Her law is totally different meaning
356
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000
They showing
357
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
She's showing compassion for the whole situation
358
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Of black people and the black housing
359
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Everybody is affected by this
360
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
From highest to the lowest
361
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,000
And I love that
362
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
That we're looked at a certain way
363
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
To
364
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
We're not getting certain helps that we need
365
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Due to us being
366
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000
That's what I like
367
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Due to the coronavirus
368
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000
A lot of black people died
369
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Just because they couldn't afford it
370
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
I know I had
371
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Corona relief
372
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
You could be out of work
373
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000
I caught covid was out two weeks
374
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
I got paid
375
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000
It was a thing under corona specifically
376
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Because it was a situation that was needed
377
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
It was actually needed
378
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000
It was a nationwide
379
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Worldwide
380
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
And that was a huge situation
381
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,000
So they had to pay it attention
382
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000
They had to give it a certain
383
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Because I could have lost a lot of money around that time
384
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Everybody was bad off
385
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000
I got paid, thank god
386
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Everybody was in a bad situation
387
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Because you think about it
388
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Even if you couldn't work
389
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Your job got shut down
390
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000
There was a lot of that happening in
391
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
The world, the world closed out
392
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000
And they couldn't do
393
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
No work at all
394
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
But then, like I said
395
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Those situations where we can
396
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Change those things though
397
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
We had those seats
398
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
We can go sit in these seats
399
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
We can speak our piece
400
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
If it happens, it happens
401
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
If it doesn't, it doesn't
402
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000
But at the end of the day, you got to know
403
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000
You got a chance to say it and speak it
404
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Corona made the people lazy
405
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
I'm more than help
406
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
I know I got a little lazy
407
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
But I still got my behind up and went to work
408
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
It took me a while
409
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
To get back into the groove
410
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Because I was so used to
411
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
We had time to think
412
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
We had time to actually
413
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Collect our thoughts
414
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
And really face our issues
415
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Around that time too
416
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Because when you're moving
417
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000
You kind of forget
418
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Life and what you're dealing with
419
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000
I know that's all topic
420
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Oh, it's not all topic
421
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
You're speaking good
422
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000
The good thing about all of this man
423
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Is that
424
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,000
The city
425
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
The cities and surrounding cities
426
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Of Charlotte
427
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Have suffered
428
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000
A great deal
429
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
And a great huge
430
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
In many ways
431
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Just due to a lot of the people
432
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000
That are considerably at the bottom
433
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Not speaking up
434
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000
And doing things to make
435
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000
A better situation
436
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Yes, a lot of the problems are
437
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000
In the lower class
438
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000
In the lower class, excuse me
439
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
In the lower class
440
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Due to the case of
441
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Money is a problem
442
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,000
To me
443
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
That's a
444
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Crisis that a lot of people
445
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Go through from middle class
446
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Down
447
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,000
To money
448
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
In one situation
449
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,000
I've heard people be like
450
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Well, you know man
451
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
As a black man
452
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Or as a black woman
453
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000
We struggle for this and we struggle for that
454
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Think about it like this
455
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
If you have that
456
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Struggle, take that
457
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Struggle, make sure it's unique though
458
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Make sure it's a struggle
459
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
That nobody, make sure it's
460
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Something that somebody is dealing with
461
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
A whole lot of people aren't dealing with it
462
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
And take it to the city
463
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000
And give it to them
464
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000
So you don't think Trump was trying to help the black race?
465
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
I don't know
466
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000
I'm going to be honest with you
467
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,000
I'm not talking about no other thing but money
468
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000
I'm thinking he was
469
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Trying to help everybody
470
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000
To me
471
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
It wasn't like he was just looking out for his race
472
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
To me
473
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Some may feel like he was
474
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Can I say this?
475
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Trump was hanging around
476
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Bobby Browns, Mike Tyson
477
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Mike Tyson is even on public record
478
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Saying
479
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Donald was a real one
480
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Why is it
481
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
We never heard he was racist until he got in the office?
482
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Because
483
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
We never heard he was racist until he got in the office
484
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000
So, to me
485
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
I don't think it's really
486
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000
A thing of
487
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000
You get what I'm saying?
488
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000
I'm going to tell you what I think
489
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,000
It's a thing of status
490
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000
To people who are on his level
491
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000
And who make him look good
492
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000
You got to think about
493
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Trump Towers
494
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,000
And Mike
495
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Fighting
496
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Was
497
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Both of them making money out of this
498
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Did he was hanging with them?
499
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
All kinds of people
500
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
If you got the money
501
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,000
To me it's a thing of status
502
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
If you have money
503
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
To put all of these
504
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
Out of jail
505
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
I have the black people out of jail
506
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
And probably majority of them he knew
507
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000
Ran on the streets with
508
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000
I ain't see
509
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Obama
510
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Doing none of that
511
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
I'm just being real
512
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,000
I'm saying
513
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,000
We can't sit here and say
514
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000
He hasn't done some things
515
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
To help
516
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Not just the white community
517
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
He does what he can
518
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000
For a certain amount of people
519
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Again
520
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
I still see he
521
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
If it's a thing of he wants to help
522
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Everybody
523
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Even the lower class
524
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
There are certain parts of the lower class
525
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
That he did overlook
526
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Go back to
527
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,000
What we were talking about
528
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Like
529
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Maybe he's seen
530
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
You see
531
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000
You see how
532
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Your mindset can be
533
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
With a mindset like mine
534
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
But I would never go into it like that
535
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaking from existence
536
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000
Me being middle class
537
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Like I say me getting up
538
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Blue collar working everyday
539
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Seeing somebody that's not working
540
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
I'm trying personally knowing somebody
541
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
That just don't want to work
542
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Seeing them get
543
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
All this assistance and help
544
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
When I get in a position
545
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000
You know what I'm saying
546
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000
I might take some of that anger
547
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000
That I had towards that person
548
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000
And some of that might be used on some of my decision making
549
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Like you know
550
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000
I seen people cheat the system
551
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,000
I seen people
552
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
You know what I'm saying
553
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Like he did about the border thing
554
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Like a lot of people that was coming from
555
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Over the border
556
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
A lot of crimes was happening
557
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
When they started allowing it
558
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Which came out to be true
559
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000
It's a lot of things
560
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,000
That he was doing that made sense
561
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
And I think a lot of that happens
562
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
When you experience it
563
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000
And he was a president
564
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Before a president he was a person
565
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,000
He was out there with these people
566
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
The criminals, the thugs, the good people
567
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
So he was
568
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,000
You can't say he wasn't in that
569
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000
He was around that
570
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Obama wasn't
571
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,000
I can't say he was around
572
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,000
This or that
573
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000
I'm going to tell you what the biggest problem is
574
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000
With what you just said
575
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000
What?
576
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Look at the color of the skins here
577
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000
Right?
578
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
A lot of people
579
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,000
Didn't want a
580
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Black man in that seat
581
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
That started off with that
582
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000
It's a different story
583
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000
A lot of people wanted Trump in that seat
584
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
But they didn't want
585
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Obama in that seat
586
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Obama had to go a different
587
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Angle than Trump
588
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Trump has a total
589
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Different acceptance
590
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
People of acceptance
591
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Than Obama's people of acceptance
592
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,000
He got a wider people to pick from
593
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000
That's going to help him
594
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,000
I can go get anybody out
595
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Out of jail
596
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
That's prison? That's easy
597
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000
What if it was Obama vs. Hillary?
598
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Let's switch the role
599
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
You think Obama would've won?
600
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Obama vs. Hillary?
601
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,000
That makes you think
602
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Obama
603
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Because
604
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
People didn't want a woman in that seat
605
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
People didn't want a woman in that seat
606
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
You get why I'm saying
607
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
I can take it so many ways
608
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000
That's the situation you're giving
609
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Like you just spoke on it
610
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Trump is going to be
611
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Giving a lot more leeway
612
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Because of who he is
613
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,000
I think he ran at the right time
614
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,000
He didn't want a woman
615
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,000
It ain't race involved
616
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000
It was woman vs. man
617
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Who do we prefer more
618
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,000
In the seat?
619
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,000
To me
620
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
I'm going to be honest with you
621
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000
This is the part I don't like about Trump
622
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Trump is not honest
623
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
He's not honest?
624
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
That's the only thing that hurts him
625
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
What president
626
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
You know that's completely honest
627
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,000
It's not a thing of saying
628
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,000
I know
629
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Let's speak on Trump
630
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Before we speak on any other situation
631
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Anything with politics
632
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Is always going to be questionable
633
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,000
It don't matter who you speak
634
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000
We ain't even talking about presidents
635
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,000
We talking about people above presidency
636
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000
And below presidency
637
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,000
It's a political thing
638
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
You're going to have to deal with people
639
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000
It's going to be an untrustworthy situation
640
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000
But I'm just giving you in the case of saying
641
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,000
If you're going to speak on something
642
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Especially being in their presidency
643
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000
How people felt like
644
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Biden was forgiving
645
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Loans, student loans
646
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
And a lot of people still
647
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000
Dealing and struggling with student loans
648
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000
So that
649
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
So I could
650
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Call him out in the situation too
651
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
But to me
652
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000
I'm going to say it like this
653
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,000
You have to help everybody
654
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,000
No matter what
655
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000
To me I feel like
656
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Trump has a lane to
657
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000
To
658
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
People who money
659
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000
If you got money
660
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000
You on Trump's page
661
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Trump don't like somebody that
662
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Or if you trying to make some money
663
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,000
If you trying to make some money
664
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,000
If you want to learn something
665
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
If you want opportunity
666
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000
He going to give you this opportunity
667
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,000
I feel
668
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000
What you do with it is up to you
669
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
That's what kind of president he is
670
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
On the character of the person
671
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,000
That's why I think a lot of people
672
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Don't like that kind of government
673
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000
They don't want somebody to just be like
674
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000
I'm not going to give you
675
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Free food
676
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,000
But I am going to give you this
677
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Here's the opportunity
678
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
You sign up for this and you do this
679
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000
And you will get that
680
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
People don't want to work for it
681
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
That's the thing
682
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,000
The democrats will just hand it to you
683
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
They will just give it to you
684
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Okay I'm going to give you this
685
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
But you have to do this
686
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
This step right here
687
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
You have to show you want it
688
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
A little bit
689
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
And then I give it to you
690
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000
I'm going to have to defer
691
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Republicans have given more money
692
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Republicans have given more money
693
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
To Americans
694
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Than the democrats
695
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000
I'm talking about the lower class
696
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Or the middle class
697
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
Look how much Trump gave it to you
698
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,000
That's what you want right
699
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Somebody to look out for everybody
700
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
You just said
701
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
That democrats just give away
702
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
To the lower class
703
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
To the lower class
704
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
They look out for the lower class
705
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,000
They look more out for the lower class
706
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,000
And like you say you supposed to look out for everybody
707
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
But people are left out
708
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
So in the case of that
709
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Like you just said
710
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
That's the point of what I'm saying
711
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000
So if you got somebody like Trump in office
712
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000
You cannot take away
713
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Things that people need
714
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
People needed health insurance
715
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000
He screwed a lot of people
716
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
He screwed a lot of people
717
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
With the way he switched up the whole situation
718
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000
With the way he switched up the whole situation
719
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Of how healthcare went
720
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Which is why people like
721
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
I was speaking on
722
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Vilaos takes the situation
723
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
And there's a situation where there is
724
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
It's like a racial turn
725
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,000
On certain situations
726
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,000
When it came to
727
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000
The situation of COVID right
728
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
The reason why
729
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,000
It's like
730
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000
It's like Trump knew that people were
731
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Going to need
732
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000
This vaccine shot
733
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000
He started taking away
734
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,000
All these health situations
735
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Where people could get healthcare
736
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000
And simple healthcare
737
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
And put this roadblock up and then all of a sudden
738
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Coronavirus shows up
739
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Then all these people die
740
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Look how many people died
741
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Due to Coronavirus
742
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Listen
743
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000
I ain't signing with nobody man
744
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000
But listen though
745
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Listen though
746
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000
I see his
747
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000
I see what he's trying to do
748
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,000
I see what he's trying to do
749
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,000
He's trying to get people
750
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000
To not be so
751
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Reluctant on the system
752
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000
People to be so dependent on the system
753
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,000
And the government
754
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
To get that
755
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
That's what we need
756
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
I'm talking
757
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
I'm speaking from a man that
758
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,000
That goes out and have to get it
759
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,000
The government ain't gave me ish
760
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Like you know what I'm saying
761
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Stimulus check I will give him that
762
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000
He gave me the stimulus check and that was the biggest blessing
763
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000
A lot of people asleep on that
764
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000
But that helped me a lot because
765
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Bruh that stimulus money
766
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Started me out in my savings account
767
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000
To be honest like before that
768
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
I started saving like that for real
769
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
That 300
770
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Something whatever
771
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Motivated me to stack up
772
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000
And ever since that's my turning point bro
773
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000
When my account really hit
774
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Started being effective is when I got that
775
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Stimulus check and after that my mind set
776
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Changed because when you see that in your account
777
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000
It motivates you even more
778
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Now I'm going to stack this up I'm going to save this
779
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,000
I'm not going to touch it
780
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000
I'm putting like 200 out my check
781
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Every check into my savings
782
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
A lot of people asleep on it
783
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
That helped a lot
784
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000
That stimulus helped a lot
785
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,000
You know what I'm saying
786
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,000
He's done some good things now
787
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,000
I ain't sitting here promoting nobody
788
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000
But I'm just saying we talking about government
789
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
And that kind of was a touchy subject
790
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000
Because a lot of people would
791
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Just say he's racist like come on man
792
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,000
He was around black folks
793
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,000
All the time like how do we know
794
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,000
He's racist or not
795
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
That's always
796
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Going to be the case though
797
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Black folk could be racist against his own kind
798
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000
Or white could be racist
799
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
Again if you're going to be
800
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000
All out about it be all out about it
801
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Don't give traits
802
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
And then not go all
803
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Away with it you know that's the only thing
804
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Of course being in that seat he has to
805
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,000
There's a certain line of respect that he
806
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Has to show so again
807
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000
We won't ever know I'm not going to see him pointed out
808
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
To say that he's racist or not
809
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
But there are a lot of
810
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
People who are like him
811
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000
That show tendencies
812
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
And you know
813
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,000
It's a lot to take in
814
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000
In the US now
815
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
And especially like I said
816
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
The reason why I talk about these people is Charlotte
817
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000
You know V. Lous is the one
818
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
We basically went into today
819
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000
You know like with her
820
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,000
You get in, you get in these seats
821
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Get a seat
822
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Go in
823
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Go in with a mentality
824
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Go help us out
825
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Help everybody like you said I like that
826
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Help everybody
827
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Help us out
828
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
I never said it was a problem
829
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Helping everybody bro
830
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
I was saying how
831
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Like people like me and you will feel
832
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
You see how we feel left out when
833
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000
Democrats look out for lower class
834
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,000
People or people that don't work or try to work
835
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Right you see how that feel
836
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,000
They're not looking out for everybody
837
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000
And they said what she did look she looked out
838
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,000
For everybody
839
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000
That's why I'm arguing and saying
840
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,000
I have an issue I will bring this up
841
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Look out for everybody
842
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000
You know what I'm saying I wouldn't have a problem
843
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000
You wouldn't hear me complaining if everything
844
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Applied to everybody
845
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Don't just make it applicable for one person
846
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Like why we all can't have
847
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Why it gotta be all these qualifications
848
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
For government housing
849
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,000
You know what I'm saying
850
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Like everybody can't have
851
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Need help getting a place
852
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Somewhere like
853
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,000
Why it gotta be all these stipulations
854
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000
You know what I'm saying like make it
855
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
For the people
856
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,000
That's all I'm saying
857
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,000
That's all I'm saying bro
858
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
It's a wide range of things
859
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000
To do
860
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
That we have to
861
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Need to take action
862
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
To fix
863
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
It's ugly now
864
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
That's the only thing
865
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
That's the only thing that concerns me
866
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
That's why I want to talk about
867
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000
People of the past and people who
868
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Do things and sit in seats
869
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000
That
870
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000
That
871
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Especially in our city
872
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Trying to help everybody
873
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
I would love to talk to V. Liles if that was the case
874
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000
I would love to talk to Harvey Gantt
875
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000
You see what she brought up
876
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000
To rub shoulders and
877
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Mindsets and
878
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
Hear what
879
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
People think about
880
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,000
What people they've heard
881
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,000
What they came up with
882
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000
How did they grow up?
883
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000
What did you have when you grew up?
884
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000
What things did you see that were wrong then?
885
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000
It's your mindset like my mindset
886
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000
How you feel about this situation
887
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
How do you see it now?
888
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Does it make sense to you now?
889
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,000
How much have things changed since you were young?
890
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,000
What do you think
891
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Is going to be in the next 10 years?
892
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,000
Those are the only kind of people I think
893
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,000
That we need to bring on this show
894
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000
It's got to be people
895
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
That's done some things
896
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000
It can't just be
897
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
No disrespect
898
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,000
But it's got to be somebody
899
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,000
That's attainable
900
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
And reachable
901
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
It can work
902
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
At Workable Budget
903
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
We come up with that together
904
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
I'm willing to do that
905
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,000
We need those kind of people
906
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,000
On here to speak
907
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000
And educate it
908
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
They lived it
909
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,000
And they can actually tell us
910
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Which is why I talk
911
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Very openly
912
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Trying to get into these topics
913
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Because
914
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000
We need to know where we're going
915
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000
All we know where we're going
916
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Is that we have to know where we came from
917
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
What the situation was
918
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
And I think that
919
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Plays a lot on our history
920
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Finding it
921
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
We got to dig it up
922
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
We got to be lazy
923
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
And just trying to go out the lane
924
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Of just being given the same old boring topics
925
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
That everybody always talk about
926
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
What's the use of talking to all these rappers
927
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
What's the use of talking to all these
928
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
High dollar celebs
929
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000
What are we going to gain from it?
930
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,000
They're not giving us gain
931
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
They just got out this episode
932
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
My concerns of the world
933
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000
And how I think it's effective
934
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000
And not effective
935
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
You got to CQ the
936
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Business
937
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
What you call it
938
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Political Q
939
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000
You know what I'm saying?
940
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Political Q
941
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000
It's a lot to learn
942
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Still so much to learn
943
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000
So many changes that can be done and made
944
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
The city is getting bigger and bigger
945
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000
The cities around us are getting bigger and bigger
946
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
A lot of these cities are going to touch in a minute
947
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,000
That's a good thing
948
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Especially North Carolina
949
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Especially once you hit
950
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000
Once you hit
951
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,000
The location
952
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
South Carolina is a nice spot
953
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,000
That's the middle of it
954
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Anything within an hour
955
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Charlotte, you're doing pretty good
956
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Either way you go
957
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,000
If you're going 85 South, 85 North
958
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000
77 South, 75 North
959
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Anything within an hour
960
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,000
That right there, I think all of this stuff
961
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Is eventually going to sink in
962
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000
And we're all going to get it
963
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000
And when I talk about location
964
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000
I know this is all topic
965
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000
You have people coming from all over
966
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000
To those spots
967
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000
And a lot of people
968
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Might be business savvy
969
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Business minded
970
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Like money
971
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,000
They only have money that they can
972
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Invest into these places
973
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Buildings and stuff like that
974
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
When you think about little old Statesville
975
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Where I'm from, like you say, that's on the outer
976
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,000
So nobody is really
977
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Moving to Statesville
978
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,000
Somebody that could
979
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Impactfully influence the
980
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000
City in a positive way
981
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,000
So that's what I feel
982
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Is wrong with my city
983
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,000
It's too far out
984
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,000
And nobody is thinking about
985
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Let me make Statesville home
986
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,000
I haven't heard nobody say that
987
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,000
No disrespect
988
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000
And then you have the same
989
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000
People with the same mentality
990
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Where is the growth going to come?
991
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,000
It's a city that's dying
992
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
People are dying, people are hungry
993
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Starving, you know what I'm saying
994
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,000
Hopeless mentally
995
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Feel like there's no hope
996
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
Giving up because they don't have
997
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000
No hope from
998
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,000
A person or
999
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,000
A job or
1000
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Buildings or just things to do
1001
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000
All this affects it
1002
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
So
1003
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
That's another
1004
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,000
Opportunity
1005
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Of things
1006
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,000
To
1007
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Think about too
1008
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,000
In the future
1009
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000
And this is me
1010
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,000
There's a fit for everybody
1011
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
You can't say nobody would move
1012
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,000
To this area because there are people
1013
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Living there
1014
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,000
So even like I said, when I moved to Norah
1015
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Keel, nobody was moving to Norah Keel
1016
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000
That wasn't a cool thing to do
1017
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
They're like, why are you moving out of Charlotte?
1018
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Because I want to
1019
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
To me, I mean you can live in Statesville
1020
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
To Charlotte to come to work
1021
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000
That ain't far
1022
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
I know people driving from Columbia, South Carolina
1023
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,000
To Charlotte every single day
1024
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Back and forth, every day
1025
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,000
So I can get a house in Charlotte
1026
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,000
South Carolina and
1027
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Drive to Charlotte
1028
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,000
It's not a problem to get a job in Charlotte
1029
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000
I did it, I lived in Rock Hill
1030
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,000
And drove to Charlotte every evening
1031
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000
To go to work
1032
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Every evening
1033
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,000
From 2011 all the way up to
1034
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,000
2021
1035
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,000
Yeah
1036
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,000
2021
1037
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
And you know what, my mom always say
1038
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,000
Like, the job
1039
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Get you a job that's close to
1040
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,000
That's why my mom said it was always like that
1041
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Get a job that's in your city
1042
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,000
And you know
1043
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,000
That's a lot of miles on your car
1044
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,000
That's a lot of miles
1045
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Quote on quote
1046
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,000
That's a lot of miles on your car
1047
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,000
But now I think about it, the best jobs are probably
1048
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,000
A couple miles away from you
1049
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,000
You know what I'm saying, 30 minutes
1050
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,000
20, some of the best jobs
1051
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,000
I've had have been me hitting
1052
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,000
That I-10, by-10
1053
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,000
You know what I'm saying
1054
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Those are some of the best jobs
1055
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Come on down
1056
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,000
It's plenty jobs
1057
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,000
It's plenty jobs to
1058
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Put in
1059
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,000
The faces of people
1060
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,000
You just gotta go to them sometimes
1061
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000
There's nothing wrong going to the money, you gotta drive to the money
1062
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,000
You gotta put miles on your car
1063
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,000
You gotta put miles on your car
1064
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:54,000
A car can go down on you in 100 miles
1065
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,000
A car can go down on you in 500,000 miles
1066
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,000
It doesn't switch the situation
1067
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000
A car is going to be a car
1068
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,000
It's man-made, you don't know when it's going to hit the desk
1069
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,000
It's material
1070
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,000
It's man-made
1071
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,000
It's objection is to what?
1072
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Get you where you need to go
1073
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,000
That's another topic
1074
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,000
That's a whole other topic
1075
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
That's a whole other topic
1076
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Right there
1077
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000
But again, Charlotte
1078
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,000
Let's shout out V. Liles
1079
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,000
V. Liles is the truth
1080
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Our first black female
1081
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000
I'm glad you read that
1082
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000
If you didn't get last week
1083
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,000
I did
1084
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,000
To choose to talk about Harvey B. Gantt
1085
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,000
The first black man
1086
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,000
That's the first black mayor
1087
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Of Charlotte, North Carolina
1088
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,000
So again
1089
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,000
We are definitely here
1090
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,000
We've been here
1091
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,000
We've been working within the city
1092
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,000
For years
1093
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,000
And we're finally getting those chances to get those seats
1094
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,000
So shout out to them
1095
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,000
For giving us the opportunity to do this type of stuff
1096
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Like I said
1097
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Giving opportunities for other people to say
1098
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Hey, I'm going to do that
1099
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,000
I want to get into the city and try to make a difference
1100
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,000
Again, I need to get my boy Gary in here though
1101
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Gary, I need to get you in here
1102
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,000
If nothing else
1103
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,000
I can come to you
1104
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Or whatever it is bro
1105
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Sit down and have a conversation about
1106
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Things that can help improve the city
1107
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,000
That a lot of people don't know
1108
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,000
And again, I'm seeing you being the mayor one of these days too bro
1109
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,000
So stay tuned
1110
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,000
I'm hitting up my mayor right now
1111
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,000
So I did
1112
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Stay tuned
1113
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,000
Continue
1114
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,000
